Chapter 387: If Reason Doesn't Work, Use Force
The woman in front of him was wearing a crescent-shaped white dress. She had a beautiful face, eyes like cold pools, a pair of slender eyebrows slanted into her temples, and her thin lips were slightly pursed. She had a sense of alienation that kept people at a distance.
The woman saw Yun Chen staring at her, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she took a half step back. Her voice was as cold as the ice bow in her hand as she introduced herself, "I am a disciple of Chaoyin Pavilion, my name is Leng Hanyue."
Her gaze swept over Yun Chen, especially when she saw the golden sword in his hand, which was gleaming with lightning. She paused for a moment, then moved away and fell on the pale-faced Lin Wan'er. Her tone slowed down a little, "Who are you? Why were you hunted here by the Shadow Snake Group and the Nascent Soul Monster? And how did you recognize my Chaoyin Pavilion?"
Yun Chen retracted his gaze, suppressing the surging blood and qi from the elixir's power. He struggled to his feet, clasped his fists, and bowed solemnly, "I am Yun Chen, a disciple of the Divine Thunder Palace. This is Lin Wan'er, a disciple of the Grand Void Palace. To be honest, we are here to look for someone."
"Looking for someone?" Leng Hanyue raised her eyebrows.
Yun Chen hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak frankly: "To be honest, my master was captured by people from Chaoyin Pavilion in the Forest of Beasts not long ago. We are here to find my master."
"what?"
Upon hearing the news, a very slight fluctuation flashed across Leng Hanyue's cold eyes, but it was soon covered by a deeper chill.
"This is impossible. Chaoyin Pavilion cannot possibly capture a Taoist monk, let alone a high-ranking Taoist."
Yun Chen comes from the Divine Thunder Palace, so his master is naturally a high-ranking official in the Divine Thunder Palace.
Although Chaoyin Pavilion has been isolated from the outside world for nearly a thousand years, it is impossible that it does not even know people from the major sects.
Especially in the Palace of Divine Thunder, it is not difficult to identify the thunder method.
"Ahem...!"
Yun Chen's expression flashed with embarrassment when he heard this: "My master is not from the Divine Thunder Palace. He was my master before I entered the Divine Thunder Palace."
"Master before entering the Divine Thunder Palace?" Leng Hanyue repeated. The coldness in her eyes did not diminish, but instead became more scrutinizing. "In other words, your master is not from a famous Taoist family?"
Yun Chen nodded. "Yes, she's a casual cultivator. Not long ago, she came to the Forest of Myriad Beasts to find me, but was later captured by the Chaoyin Pavilion. There might be some misunderstanding... If Miss Hanyue knows, please let me know. By the way, my master's name is Ye Wuxin, and she's a female cultivator."
"Female cultivator? Ye Wuxin?"
Leng Hanyue whispered the name, his eyes drifting for a moment, as if searching his memory, but soon regaining his calm and cold expression. "Disciples of my Chaoyin Pavilion have rarely been active in the Myriad Beast Forest in recent years, let alone capturing independent cultivators. Are you mistaken? Or... is someone impersonating my Chaoyin Pavilion?"
There was obvious suspicion in her tone, and her eyes inadvertently swept over Meichuan, who had been silent, again, with a hint of meaning.
"There's no doubt about it. I was there and saw it with my own eyes."
Seeing this, Lin Wan'er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "That woman is wearing moon-white clothing, and her cultivation techniques are also extremely cold-attributed, sharing the same aura as yours. She's also wielding an Ice Marrow Bow... She must be from the Chaoyin Pavilion."
As she spoke, before Leng Hanyue could question her, she raised her hand and waved.
In an instant, the scene of that day slowly unfolded in the air again.
This is the ability seen through simulation of spiritual power. In the secret realm of cultivation, any cultivator who has reached the foundation building stage or above can do it.
As the picture slowly appeared, everyone raised their heads immediately.
Leng Hanyue looked at the person who appeared on the screen, and his expression changed from calm to stunned.
"Uncle Master?"
The person on the screen was her uncle Ling Shuang.
But she couldn't understand why her uncle arrested that woman.
Logically speaking, Chaoyin Pavilion is a peaceful place and would never take the initiative to attack the cultivators of Daxia.
"You know her?"
Seeing her reaction, Yun Chen immediately asked, with suppressed urgency in his voice.
Leng Hanyue did not answer immediately. Her eyes were still fixed on the gradually dissipating spiritual power illusion in the air. The woman with a cold temperament and holding an ice marrow bow in the picture was her uncle Ling Shuang.
Not until the entire image disappeared did Leng Hanyue slowly retract his gaze and look at Yun Chen.
She was silent for a moment before she spoke, her voice a little deeper than before: "Yes, the person in the painting is my uncle, Elder Lingshuang."
After getting the exact answer, Yun Chen felt relieved, but another heavier stone came down on him.
It is indeed Chaoyin Pavilion!
He suppressed his turbulent emotions and asked, "Does Miss Leng know why Elder Lingshuang wanted to capture my master? What's the grudge between them? Where is my master now? Is he in danger?"
A series of questions made Leng Hanyue's brows frown slightly.
She subconsciously avoided Yun Chen's blazing gaze and turned toward the rock wall, her silhouette appearing somewhat stiff. "Master Ling Shuang's actions... have their own reasons. The affairs of the pavilion, especially the actions of the elders, are not something a mere disciple like me can interfere with."
"She has her own reasons?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chen couldn't help but take a step forward, his tone filled with excitement.
"My master has a calm and unpretentious nature, and is just a casual cultivator. I've never heard of him having any connection with Chaoyin Pavilion. How can Elder Lingshuang arrest someone for no reason?"
Leng Hanyue turned around and faced Yun Chen, her face covered in a layer of frost. "I told you, I don't know the specifics. Perhaps... perhaps your master violated the Chaoyin Pavilion's taboos, or was involved in some old incident."
Her tone was distant, as if she was trying to distance herself from the matter, but the hesitation in her eyes couldn't be completely concealed.
Yun Chen became angry upon hearing this.
Since reason doesn't work, don't blame him for using force.
Although Leng Hanyue had just saved them, the master was much more important than these.
He doesn't care about the bullshit life-saving grace.
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he stopped talking nonsense. The Nine Yang Qi and Thunder Magic Spiritual Power that had just calmed down in his body suddenly burst out!
"What a bullshit taboo! Even if it's violated, so what? Can you just arrest people at will?"
"If reason doesn't make sense, then I'll capture you and use you in exchange for my master."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Chen shot out like an arrow, the golden sword in his hand suddenly emitted a burst of lightning, making a low humming sound, and pierced Leng Hanyue's face!
This sword was unreserved, carrying with it his burning anger and determination to save his master.
Leng Hanyue obviously did not expect Yun Chen to suddenly attack, and the attack was so fierce.
A hint of astonishment flashed across her cold eyes, but the instinct formed by years of practice allowed her to react extremely quickly.
She touched the ground with her toes and retreated quickly like floating catkins. At the same time, she raised her hand and a crystal clear ice shield instantly condensed in front of her.
"clang--!"
The thunder sword slammed hard into the ice shield, making a sharp sound of metal clashing.
Ice chips and lightning flew everywhere. The powerful impact made Leng Hanyue slide back several steps, and fine cracks appeared on the ice shield.
Her arm holding the shield felt slightly numb, and she was secretly shocked: Yun Chen had just been detoxified, but his spiritual power was still so strong and powerful!
