One of my fairy-like friends

Seeing that Huang Feiyan didn't seem to believe him, Mingyan directly pricked his finger and handed it to Huang Feiyan, "Fairy sister, take a look, will it help you?"

Huang Feiyan hesitated for a moment, but finally touched the wound with her finger. The moment she touched the blood that was seeping out, her expression changed.

Huang Feiyan's fingers were still burning hot, just like before, causing Mingyan's wounds unbearable pain. However, he didn't show any unusual reaction, but he was a little puzzled as to why the Yin poison would make Huang Feiyan's whole body burn so hot. Logically speaking, shouldn't the Yin poison make a person feel cold all over?

“Your blood contains…” Huang Feiyan stared wide-eyed at Ming Yan, utterly shocked.

Chapter Six: Sect Crisis

"Is there anything I can do to help you, Fairy Sister?" Mingyan asked, seeing the shock on Huang Feiyan's face.

"..." Huang Feiyan looked at Mingyan with a complicated expression and sighed softly, "The female cultivator who saved you back then didn't even covet your blood... No matter who she is, she must be a fairy of noble character... Mingyan, remember, before you have sufficient strength, don't easily show your blood to others..."

"Why?" Mingyan asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I’m worried you’ll be captured and used to make medicine. The yang energy in your blood… is simply an excellent medicinal ingredient… If it’s exposed, I’m afraid you’ll be captured and imprisoned, and then they’ll bleed you out every day to make medicine…” Despite her serious injuries, Huang Feiyan couldn’t help but smile. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Ming Yan. “…I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to find dragon blood this time… but I’ve met you. It seems that my luck is indeed quite good.”

"...The fairy sister's words sound like she has ulterior motives towards me..."

"Hehe... Sorry, did I scare you? Well, I was just a little surprised. Your blood is useful to me." Huang Feiyan's smile faded, but she noticed that the wound on Ming Yan's fingertip had already scabbed over. She was slightly surprised. "It seems your self-healing ability is quite strong... I really underestimated your talent... You're really wasting your talent in this Rain Terrace Blessed Land..."

Mingyan was somewhat numb. Many people said he was exceptionally talented, but the question remained: just how talented? What kind of extraordinary physique did he possess? No one had ever said. Mingyan had even asked Sect Master Xia Yanming, who replied that he didn't know, but he was certain that Mingyan's future was incredibly promising...

Mingyan pricked his finger again. "I'll drip it into the bowl..."

Huang Feiyan nodded. Just then, Liu Mengli's voice came from outside Mingyan's residence, "Senior brother! Senior brother!"

Mingyan paused, looking towards the door. A moment later, Liu Mengli rushed in, shouting, "Senior brother! Father told you to quickly hide this sister!"

"What happened?" Mingyan frowned, knowing that some trouble had probably come knocking, while Huang Feiyan narrowed her eyes.

"It seems someone came knocking, saying... someone is this sister's friend, and they want to take her away..." Liu Mengli raised her hand, resting her chin on her fingers in distress. "Why do Father and the Sect Master look so alarmed when my sister's friend comes?"

“Because they’re mostly lying.” Mingyan quickly realized, looking at Huang Feiyan, who nodded in agreement. “They’re not my friends…they want to take my life…ha…”

"Is that so? Anyway, Senior Brother, Father told me to follow you, and then have you take this sister and hide her away quickly!" Liu Mengli suddenly realized that they were liars.

“It can’t be hidden…” Huang Feiyan shook her head. She pondered for a moment, then looked at Ming Yan, “Instead of hiding it, it’s better to heal your injuries quickly…”

“But…this drop of blood takes time…” Mingyan hesitated. “Or, should we create a large wound so that blood spurts out?”

"...I was saved by you, how could I wrong you and make you suffer so much?" Huang Feiyan shook her head upon hearing this. She looked at Ming Yan's fingertip, paused for a moment, and then took out her hand, took Ming Yan's hand, and put the cut fingertip, which had already formed a thin scab, into her mouth and gently sucked on it. The newly formed scab naturally broke open when sucked on like this, and blood flowed out again.

Liu Mengli stood to the side, her face flushed red. She raised her hands to cover her face, feeling incredibly ashamed! How could she do such a thing to her senior brother?

Ming Yan was also somewhat taken aback. He felt a tingling sensation in his fingertips, while Huang Feiyan, whose fingers were still between his and hers, had a slightly flushed face and mumbled, "It's just healing... don't overthink it..."

"I...I know." Mingyan nodded. Since Huang Feiyan had said so, Mingyan naturally didn't say anything more.

Meanwhile, outside the blessed land of Yutai.

Several elders of Yutai Blessed Land were confronting several young cultivators. The younger generation of disciples had been taken to the back mountain by the remaining elders to avoid this disaster.

The young cultivators looked to be only around eighteen years old, while the elders of Yutai Blessed Land looked to be quite old, with the youngest, Liu Yunfeng, actually being over sixty.

However, the difference in strength between the two sides was not significant... Furthermore, behind the young cultivators, there was an old man in blue robes with unfathomable cultivation and a young female cultivator with a sweet smile.

Seeing the elders blocking her way, the young female cultivator's smile remained unchanged, and her voice was sweet, "Elders, what is the meaning of this? I have only come to find my injured friend. After finding her, we will leave."

Liu Yunfeng frowned. "Fairy, you've been too hasty. I think we've made ourselves very clear. We don't know who your injured friend is, nor do we know where she is. To trespass into our blessed land so rashly is not a good thing..."

“I’m absolutely certain that you’ve hidden my friend in this blessed land. I hope you can let her go…” The female cultivator sighed. “Release her, and everything will be fine. I won’t hold what happened before…”

“I already said, your friend isn’t here with us,” Liu Yunfeng emphasized again.

"...Does it really have to come to this?" the female cultivator sighed. "Uncle Zeng, let's teach them a lesson. They're really being arrogant."

Upon hearing this, the old man in blue robes beside the female cultivator suddenly vanished from his spot and reappeared behind several elders of Yutai Blessed Land. Before they could react, he kicked the elder next to Liu Yunfeng in the waist. His leg, as thick as an iron rod, struck the elder's waist with a cracking sound, like bones breaking. The elder screamed and flew heavily into the distance, crashing into a pile of stones and being buried. Liu Yunfeng was shocked and quickly turned around to strike with his palm. The old man in blue robes also lightly struck with his palm. The two palms collided with a loud "bang," and Liu Yunfeng's face turned pale. He was instantly sent flying backward, crashing into the plaque of Yutai Blessed Land and smashing it to pieces.

Liu Yunfeng fell to the ground, struggling to get up. With a "pfft," he spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked up at the old man in blue with a shocked expression, "You... what is your cultivation level?"

The old man in blue did not answer. Instead, he looked at the last of the three elders who had blocked the young cultivators. In a flash, he appeared in front of the elder like a ghost, grabbed him by the neck in the blink of an eye, and said in a cold voice, "Hand over my young lady's friends, and I will spare your lives. Otherwise, kill them without mercy!"

The elder struggled desperately, but to no avail. The hand gripped his neck tightly, as if a slight squeeze would send the elder to his death.

"The fairy's way of visiting is really violent." At this moment, Xia Yanming slowly appeared, followed by several other elders of Yutai Blessed Land. He looked at Liu Yunfeng under the plaque, then at another elder buried under the stone pile and Elder Chen whose throat was being squeezed by the old man in green, and sighed softly, "Put Elder Chen down, there's no need to make a scene like this."

"You must be the sect leader of this Rain Terrace Blessed Land?" The female cultivator smiled slightly. "I know Elder Zeng went a little too far, but I believe the sect leader can understand my feelings. I really don't want anything to happen to my friend... so I'm handing over my friend Huang Feiyan, and we'll pretend nothing happened between us."

"What a fine way of saying nothing happened! You severely injured an elder in my blessed land, and we're going to pretend nothing happened!" A purple-robed elder beside Xia Yanming glared at the female cultivator through gritted teeth, his tone unusually angry.

"It was you who imprisoned my young lady's friend first, do you expect us to apologize?" One of the young male cultivators sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.

"I can feel that aura right here..." The old man in blue said, holding Elder Chen in one hand while looking at the female cultivator addressed as "Miss."

“It can’t be hidden... Take a look?” The young lady seemed to be losing patience. She closed her eyes. “I don’t want Elder Zeng to go on a killing spree, so I hope you can cooperate and hand over my friend. My patience has its limits.”

“We both know you’re not friends, so why pretend? You just want to take Fairy Huang’s life.” Xia Yanming sighed. “Put Elder Chen down, and we will hand over Fairy Huang.”

"You've misunderstood me. Huang Feiyan and I are really friends." The young lady's expression improved. She smiled slightly and gave the old man in blue a look. Only then did the old man in blue put Elder Chen down. Elder Chen's face had been pinched until it turned purplish-blue. He collapsed to the ground, took a few heavy breaths, and then stood up and returned to Xia Yanming's side.

"Fairy, and a few young friends, as well as this fellow Daoist, please follow me..." Xia Yanming instructed the elders behind him to look after Liu Yunfeng and another elder buried under the rubble, and then had the female cultivator and several young male cultivators follow him with the old man in green.

"I hope you don't try anything funny, otherwise, today might be the day your Yutai Blessed Land is wiped out. You are no match for me; you're only at the peak of the Divine Palace realm." The old man in blue returned to the female cultivator's side, narrowed his eyes, and warned Xia Yanming.

Xia Yanming sighed, "Don't worry, I'm not that impulsive..."

"That's good." The female cultivator smiled sweetly.

At this moment, Huang Feiyan was still sucking Mingyan's blood from his fingertips.

After Huang Feiyan sucked the blood, which contained a vast life force and the most yang and masculine energy, it was guided by her spiritual energy to eliminate the yin poison in her body one by one. The yin poison was originally fighting hard and devouring the spiritual energy in Huang Feiyan's body, but after encountering Mingyan's blood, it fled in panic like a mouse encountering a cat, until it was forced into a corner and then strangled by the yang energy.

In just half an incense stick's time, half of the poison had already been dispelled...

Just then, there seemed to be some movement outside the door. Huang Feiyan, with her keen senses, was the first to notice it. Her expression changed slightly, and then Mingyan also heard some footsteps. The two of them immediately became alert. Mingyan quickly pulled the finger out of Huang Feiyan's lips and pulled Liu Mengli behind him to protect her.

"Liu Yatou, Mingyan, are you still inside?"

"It's Elder Li." Upon hearing this voice, Ming Yan immediately relaxed. It was Elder Li, who was usually responsible for guarding the door, standing outside.

"Elder Li, what is it?" Ming Yan went over and opened the door, and found Elder Li standing outside, though his face was somewhat gloomy. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You two quickly take Fairy Huang to the back mountain and evacuate the blessed land with the other disciples..." Elder Li said immediately, "I need to help the sect leader hold them off. You two escape as far as possible!"

After saying that, Elder Li handed a burlap bag to Mingyan, "This is something your master asked me to give you. He wants you to take good care of Liu girl... Sigh... Enough said, you two hurry up and go to the back mountain!"

Mingyan was taken aback. "What do you mean? My master... is in danger?!"

Liu Mengli panicked upon hearing this, "My father is in danger?!"

"Take Liu girl away quickly! There's no time for nonsense!" Elder Li's tone was extremely heavy. He then disappeared from the three people's sight with a light tap of his toes. Huang Feiyan's face was gloomy. She looked at Liu Mengli and Ming Yan with a self-reproachful expression. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Chapter Seven You Will Die

Mingyan gritted his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, while Liu Mengli beside him clutched the hem of Mingyan's clothes, seemingly still unable to recover from the news he had just received.

Huang Feiyan had something to say but couldn't, and could only bury her head in self-reproach.

Mingyan took a deep breath. "Let's go, Mengli, Fairy Sister..."

"Senior brother, my father..." Liu Mengli asked worriedly, pursing her lips.

“Master will be alright. Elder Li didn’t say anything was wrong with Master, right?” Mingyan interrupted Liu Mengli. He said softly, “Master just doesn’t want anything to happen to us, so he asked me to take care of you for the time being. Mengli, don’t worry. As long as we are safe, we will be able to see Master soon.”

"Senior brother... Senior brother didn't lie to me, did he?" Liu Mengli looked at Ming Yan with wide eyes, her eyes so innocent and pitiful that Ming Yan felt a heavy sense of guilt. But he still smiled and patted Liu Mengli's head. "Senior brother wouldn't lie to you."

"Hmm..." Liu Mengli nodded. She had always been willing to believe her senior brother... and could only believe him.

Huang Feiyan bit her lip lightly with her silver teeth, "I'm...I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

“Why should Fairy Sister apologize?” Ming Yan shook his head, then quickly packed his things, carrying the burlap bag that Elder Li had given him, which he said Liu Yunfeng had entrusted to him, on his back. “Let’s not linger any longer, let’s hurry and meet up with the others!”

Huang Feiyan nodded, knowing there was no need to waste too much time on this issue. Mingyan picked up Liu Mengli and went to the back mountain with Huang Feiyan.

Half of the Yin poison in Huang Feiyan's body has been eliminated, but her injuries have not yet been healed, and she is still slightly weak at this moment. However, she is, after all, a cultivator at the initial stage of Qi Sea, and even if she cannot exert one-tenth of her original strength, she is still faster than Ming Yan.

The three arrived at the back mountain and saw the disciples of the blessed land and several elders of the blessed land who had already gathered there.

"Mingyan, you two! Liu, are you alright?" An elderly woman from the elders approached.

Ming Yan shook his head, while Liu Mengli called out softly, "Grandma Qi..."

"This must be Fairy Huang, right? Now that everyone is here, let's set off." The old woman whom Liu Mengli called Granny Qi was Elder Qi Zhen, who was second only to Sect Master Xia Yanming and Elder Li in the Yutai Blessed Land. Xia Yanming entrusted the Blessed Land and the other disciples to her and several other elders. She was highly respected in the Blessed Land and usually managed the affairs of the Blessed Land. Therefore, she did not panic even when faced with such a dangerous situation.

Huang Feiyan was silent for a moment, then shook her head. "Let's split up. Their target is me. If I go with you, I'm afraid they'll also try to kill you. If we split up, they should chase after me instead of wasting their energy chasing after you!"

If Elder Li wasn't lying, then Sect Master Xia Yanming and Elder Li are currently stalling their enemies who have come to their door. Being held back, these enemies will likely harbor resentment or even murderous intent towards the disciples of Yutai Blessed Land. If Huang Feiyan is indeed with the disciples of Yutai Blessed Land, and if they are caught, it could very well turn into a massacre. Huang Feiyan doesn't want these innocent disciples and elders to be murdered because of her.

The disciples of these blessed lands also had to flee, because no one knew if the other side would kill them to vent their anger if they couldn't find her.

“Fairy Phoenix, if you are captured, wouldn’t all the time the Sect Master bought for us have been wasted?” Granny Qi frowned and shook her head. “We elders are all Qi Sea cultivators. I am at the full Qi Sea stage, and the other two elders are at the initial Qi Sea stage. Even if they catch up, we might be able to hold them off for a while… But if Fairy Phoenix leaves alone…”

The choice is simple: if Huang Feiyan leaves alone and is captured, it means that the time Xia Yanming and the other elders have spent stalling her will be meaningless. But in that case, the other side should have no motivation to hunt down these blessed land elders and disciples, and their chances of escape will be greater.

If Huang Feiyan were to leave with them and be captured, then Huang Feiyan, the remaining disciples, and even these elders might all be doomed. Sect Master Xia Yanming and the elders would only be able to stall for time... This shows that those enemies of Huang Feiyan who came to "visit" this time are not people they can easily deal with...

Moreover, to be honest, with so many disciples, including so many with low cultivation levels, they are too conspicuous. Even if a fight breaks out, it would be easy to affect these disciples... You should know that in a battle between Qi Sea Realm cultivators, even some aftershocks could easily take the lives of these disciples, most of whom are still in the Spring of Qi and Accumulation of Qi Realm.

Between cultivators, each level is an insurmountable chasm. Even if there are already Yinling Realm cultivators among the younger generation, they cannot harm Qi Sea Realm cultivators. The difference in realm is so powerless. Not to mention, the opponent seems to have a being with a much higher realm than Xia Yanming... This is not a battle that can be won by numbers.

Mingyan frowned. This matter was caused by him. If he hadn't taken pity on Huang Feiyan and brought her back to Yutai Blessed Land, how could Yutai Blessed Land have suffered this undeserved disaster?

He stepped forward. "I will leave with Fairy Sister. Elder Qi, you should lead everyone away..."

"No! Mingyan! You are the future hope of the sect!" Another elder immediately objected. They all knew Mingyan's talent for cultivation. In their view, the task of revitalizing Yutai Blessed Land and making it flourish would be greatly delayed without Mingyan. Xia Yanming had once said that Yutai Blessed Land could do without him, but it could not do without Mingyan. Even if Mingyan might leave Yutai Blessed Land one day, what he could bring to Yutai Blessed Land would be far more than what he, as the sect leader, could bring.

Ten or twenty years from now, perhaps Mingyan will become the next Xia Yanming, and even further, Mingyan's achievements will only surpass his. Even if Mingyan leaves Yutai Blessed Land to find a more suitable world for him, he will never forget that he once stayed there, nor will he forget his master Liu Yunfeng, nor his junior sister Liu Mengli...

“Elder, there’s no need to worry… I already have some ideas… We are not lambs to the slaughter.” Mingyan shook his head. “This matter arose because of me, and now, let me resolve it…”

"What can you do now?!" The elder was very anxious. Ming Yan did have a promising future, but that was the future. Right now, Ming Yan was just a minor cultivator in the Accumulation Flow Realm. Those cultivators in the Qi Sea Realm could easily crush him. How different was it from crushing an ant?

Huang Feiyan looked at Ming Yan, her eyes gleaming with a strange light. She hadn't expected this young man, with his low cultivation but exceptional talent, to have such courage. But she couldn't bear to see Yutai Blessed Land ruin Ming Yan's genius because of her, so she shook her head. "Don't waste any more time, Ming Yan. You should leave with them..."

"Fairy Sister, are you confident you can escape now?" Mingyan asked Huang Feiyan.

Huang Feiyan wanted to say that she was confident, but seeing Mingyan's calm yet clear gaze, she couldn't bring herself to lie and deceive him. She opened her mouth, but then silently shut it.

"Senior brother!" Liu Mengli cried out anxiously when she saw that Ming Yan seemed to be leaving the group to travel with Huang Feiyan. "Senior brother! Shall I go with you too?"

Mingyan shook his head, and just as he was about to say something, a sudden earthquake shook the earth, and a deafening sound resounded throughout the world. Many of the sect disciples lost their footing and fell to the ground. After Mingyan managed to stand up, he looked up at the mountain and saw that the floating islands began to circle around the mountaintop, while dazzling lights shone around them. Several halos surrounded the mountaintop, and then a huge light blue ring appeared on the mountainside, encircling Yutai Mountain and slowly tightening, binding it tightly to the mountainside.

"It's the mountain-protecting formation! The sect leader has activated the mountain-protecting formation. Everyone, quickly help up the people around you and leave Yutai Mountain as soon as possible, otherwise we will never be able to get out!" Granny Qi's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly directed the disciples of the blessed land who were still dizzy from the earthquake. Only then did the disciples of the blessed land get up and quickly follow the group down the mountain.
