Chapter 444: Chapter 103: Leader of the Righteous Path, Cowardly and Cunning

Qilian Mountain.

Lanyue Peak.

In the forest at the foot of the mountain, a Concealment Array quietly shrouded the area.

The disciples of the Zhenyang Sect were resting in the forest, having encountered countless demonic beasts along the way, and were somewhat exhausted.

But at this moment, their faces showed not fatigue but excitement.

"The Senior Sister is perfect!"

"Indeed, my breath almost stopped when I saw Senior Sister."

"You guys didn’t see it; Senior Sister’s elegance while slaying the Sixth Grade Flying Wing Tiger!"

"Although Senior Sister’s cultivation hasn’t fully recovered, her combat power is already comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"I wonder what kind of male cultivator could be worthy of Senior Sister!"

"Don’t talk nonsense; Senior Sister’s heart is set on the Heavenly Dao and she will surely ascend. No man in this world can win her favor!"

A group of male disciples were chatting excitedly in low voices, their words filled with admiration for Ye Xiyue.

Meanwhile, in the valley at the back of Lanyue Peak.

Their seemingly perfect Senior Sister was kneeling in front of Qin Gengyun, crawling to Qin Gengyun’s feet, eagerly sticking out her tongue to lick his shoes.

Qin Gengyun frowned slightly, stepped back, and Jian Yue lifted her head, her cold and stunning face full of enchantment and allure, speaking in a charming voice:

"Master, do you despise me?"

Qin Gengyun sneered, "Jian Yue, put away your seductive tricks and talk serious business."

Jian Yue giggled, remaining on the ground, twisting her waist, her small fragrant tongue licking her lips:

"Master, you seem a little different; is it because you’ve been away from the first wife for too long and are longing for a woman? Why not use me to vent your fire?"

After saying this, she suddenly lunged forward, hugging Qin Gengyun’s leg, her body rubbing against it.

Qin Gengyun said indifferently, "If you go on like this, you’ll not get any of my spiritual power."

Jian Yue instantly let go, obediently sitting on the ground like a kitten, looking at Qin Gengyun in a fawning manner.

"I will obey, Master, please don’t be angry."

Before departing from the Zhenyang Sect, Qin Gengyun had infused Jian Yue with enough spiritual energy to last half a month, and now there was just one day left.

Jian Yue was clinging so shamelessly merely wanting Qin Gengyun to replenish her spiritual energy.

Qin Gengyun raised his hand and injected a stream of spiritual energy into Jian Yue’s body; Jian Yue closed her eyes, her face showing enjoyment, making indescribable strange sounds.

Qin Gengyun was used to it, as if he hadn’t heard anything; once he had infused enough spiritual energy to last a month, Jian Yue opened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise:

"Master, your spiritual energy has become purer; there seems to be something else mixed in? Master, have you already engaged in dual cultivation with your second and third wife?"

Qin Gengyun was startled, not expecting Jian Yue to be so perceptive, able to detect that he had recently engaged in dual cultivation.

But matters concerning his wives were not for her to know for the time being, so Qin Gengyun didn’t answer but instead asked:

"Why hasn’t the Zhenyang Sect sent other elders to Zhenlian City?"

During the day, he had discovered that Zhenlian City was besieged by demonic beasts; had they sent a Nascent Soul Realm elder to kill those three Sixth Grade demonic beasts, the siege would be lifted.

Why let Zhenlian City be besieged for so long?

Jian Yue giggled, "They did send one; it’s just that the elder is accustomed to cunning and evasive, fearing death, so he hasn’t appeared yet."

Qin Gengyun squinted his eyes, "You’re saying it’s Zheng Shengmo? But outside Zhenlian City, there are only three Sixth Grade demonic beasts; given his cultivation, how could he be so afraid?"

Jian Yue laughed, "Master doesn’t know Zheng Shengmo well; he speaks of righteousness and propriety, but in truth, he is lustful and cowardly. Plus, the combat power of demonic beasts differs from cultivators; even Sixth Grade demonic beasts can reach Nascent Soul realm power, and Fatty Zheng is too timid to take risks." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Qin Gengyun was speechless, "How can such a person be an elder of the Zhenyang Sect?"

Jian Yue giggled, "Is it strange? Wei Shouyuan and Shi Shuhong are the same, always trying to possess my body to absorb my innate spiritual qi. They won’t risk their lives fighting demonic beasts, which is why the situation in the Three Cities and Twelve Towns is so critical."

Qin Gengyun fell silent.

Among the Zhenyang Sect’s Six Great Peaks, three peak masters were all cunning and cowardly, with only Tantai Mingyue appearing somewhat normal.

Is the so-called Leader of the Righteous Path truly unworthy of its name?

Jian Yue crawled up to Qin Gengyun’s feet, rubbing her body against his leg, "Master, why do you lose focus when lying with me? Why not cherish me properly~~"

Qin Gengyun kicked her away coldly, "Enough, go back now and avoid arousing suspicion."

Jian Yue wanted to linger but had to leave reluctantly seeing Qin Gengyun’s displeased expression.

Not long after she departed, a slender and petite figure appeared before Qin Gengyun, her face showing a hint of resentment:

"Fairy of today throws herself at you, husband. What fortune you have."

Qin Gengyun sighed helplessly, "Wife, that Demon Embryo is elusive; she surely has other intentions; don’t misunderstand."

Qiu Zhihe’s expression was icy; she raised her small hand, gently caressing Qin Gengyun’s chest, her face full of disdain:

"Such a stench!"

Qin Gengyun was speechless; earlier Jian Yue touched his chest, and his wife immediately disliked him for smelling foul?

"Then I’ll go wash now."

Qin Gengyun pointed to a nearby stream and asked Qiu Zhihe:

"Wife, do you want to join me?"

Qiu Zhihe’s cold face couldn’t help but burst into laughter, slapping him hard:

"Husband, why have you become so slick-tongued?!"

Qin Gengyun took the opportunity to grab her hand; Qiu Zhihe struggled a little, then allowed him to hold it. They retreated step by step until she was embraced in his arms.

Qiu Zhihe furiously said, "Did we not agree you’d pursue me for another month?"

Qin Gengyun laughed, "I’ve pursued you so hard; shouldn’t you offer a little reward?"

"You’ve chased for only a day; what’s hard about that? Had I known you’d be so slippery, I wouldn’t have married you. Oh, Husband, your hand..."

After the sounds of rustling in the forest, everything finally quieted down.

Qiu Zhihe leaned against Qin Gengyun’s chest, letting him stroke her hair, and Qin Gengyun suddenly said:

"Wife, those Zhenyang Sect disciples who died in the mountain spring yesterday—though killed by demonic beasts, was it not truly that man’s doing?"

Qiu Zhihe looked up at him, "Husband, he’s an elder of the Zhenyang Sect, don’t act impulsively."

A flash of murderous intent surged in Qin Gengyun’s eyes, but he nodded: "Right now, I’m unable to move against him, but one day, I will question him on behalf of those who died unjustly."

Qiu Zhihe leaned gently against his chest, her beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light.

Husband, there’s no need for you to act; he won’t live much longer.

From a distance at the top of a large tree, Jian Yue stood beneath it, watching the tightly embraced couple below, a mysterious smile appearing on her face:

"Cackle, cackle, it’s getting more interesting, don’t you think, Ye Xiyue?"
