One of my fairy-like friends

"You bastard!" The old monk's eyes were cold. He was furious that he had been so humiliated by a junior in the Qi Sea Realm.

The old monk broke free from the shackles of the sun and moon, his dark red blood surging. He took a step forward, and a golden bowl appeared in his hand. It was engraved with strange characters that Ming Yan had never seen before, and the characters were all emitting golden light. The golden bowl was magnified, broke through the temple, and covered him and Gu Hanshuang!

The Tongyou Dragon Tendon Bow in Mingyan's Qi Sea flew out on its own, and the "?" and "#" characters at both ends of the bow emitted a dazzling light, directly attaching to the golden bowl.

"when!"

Meanwhile, Mingyan had already escaped from under the golden bowl with Gu Hanshuang.

The Tongyou Dragon Tendon Bow was forged from the highest level of immortal gold and the tendons and bones of a true dragon, making it extremely strong. At this moment, it sensed that its master was in danger and automatically rose up to fight against the golden bowl, showing no signs of weakness.

“Tongyou Immortal Gold! What is that…?” The old monk recognized the Tongyou Immortal Gold that was used as the back of the bow, but he did not recognize the dragon tendon.

The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan were two great ancient divine clans, but the Dragon Clan went extinct much earlier than the Phoenix Clan. The Dragon Clan has long since disappeared from history. Dragon tendons are something that cannot be obtained without great fortune, so it is normal that the old monk does not recognize them.

"You have quite a lot of stuff on you..." The old monk's laughter was sinister. As soon as he finished speaking, his face stiffened, and his body was briefly restricted again. He saw Ming Yan step on his face and kick him back a few steps.

"None of your business, that's mine." Ming Yan approached rapidly, his crimson blood energy erupting, fully activating his Human King Body. He clenched his right fist, each finger radiating dazzling golden light. He used the fist technique recorded in the "Sun and Moon Scripture" and punched the old monk on the side of his face.

"when!"

Mingyan felt as if he had struck a giant bell; the deafening sound made his eardrums ache! The strong shock made his blood rush to his head, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.

"This is too tough!" Mingyan flexed his wrist, his face grave. Fortunately, the demonic monk hadn't recovered much of his strength; even so, he was already finding it difficult to deal with him.

Chapter Sixteen: If you harm my disciple, killing you ten times wouldn't be enough.

The old monk looked at the strange phenomena of the sun and moon in the sky with a gloomy expression.

He had experienced this strange phenomenon more than once before.

"How annoying..."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the entire small world began to shake and tremble, as if someone from the outside world had interfered with it.

The old monk's expression changed slightly. He looked at Ming Yan with even colder eyes. He raised his hand and retrieved the golden bowl that was confronting the Tongyou Dragon Tendon Bow in the air. His expression was slightly hesitant, but he gradually became more determined.

As soon as he took a step forward, the wind and clouds changed, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and the old monk's aura became even stronger.

Soon, the second step was taken. The old monk's blood energy soared to the sky, and a terrifying aura permeated the air, making Ming Yan tremble. His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly used his special phenomenon to try to stop the old monk. However, the laws of the sun and moon phenomenon were blocked as soon as they approached, and the old monk could no longer be stopped. The steps he took carried mysterious laws that could not be interfered with!

With another step, the heavens and earth trembled! His aura made Ming Yan realize that he was no longer a match for him.

Mingyan gave up trying to stop the old monk, turned around, and found that Gu Hanshuang had woken up. She used her sword to support herself as she stood up, looked at the old monk, and said with a solemn expression, "The Buddhist secret technique, the Seven Steps of Nirvana... If he takes the seventh step... he might temporarily possess the strength of a saint or even above..."

"Is there any way to stop him?" Mingyan's expression changed slightly. If this old monk possessed the strength of a saint or even higher, wouldn't his master also be in danger?

"This secret technique is a supreme Buddhist art... named after Nirvana, it becomes unstoppable the moment it takes its first step... Although it has extremely severe side effects, it will inevitably possess your body anyway..." Gu Han Shuang's face was slightly pale. She lowered her head and sighed softly, "I never thought I would die here..."

"Boom!"

The small world began to shake again. Gu Hanshuang looked up at the sky. "Someone is attacking this small world from the outside, trying to create a breach! Someone wants to save us?!"

Gu Hanshuang looked at Ming Yan, "Has your master arrived?"

"I guess so..."

"Your master left a restriction on you?"

"Mm." Mingyan nodded.

“If she could bring the imperial artifact, she might still have the ability to protect herself…” Gu Hanshuang sighed, “But it will be very difficult to save you. That old monk clearly wants your physical body and will not allow your master to take you away. Even a cultivator at the Human Harmony Realm can only hide in front of a saint or even a great saint. She can’t make it in time. That demonic monk has already taken the sixth step.”

The old monk had already taken his sixth step. Ming Yan and Gu Han Shuang's faces were both pale. This incredibly powerful aura put immense pressure on them. Even though it wasn't aimed at them, it was still almost unbearable.

"Boom!"

A huge hole appeared in the sky above the small world, allowing the laws of the outside world to enter. The small world immediately began to shake violently and disintegrate.

Mingyan looked up at the sky and saw that familiar figure. Master, she really came...

Two jade pendants of different colors hung above her head, and one could faintly sense the imperial aura. They must be imperial artifacts. The supreme imperial artifact drooped down with a faint glow, enveloping Yue Wuxia within it.

Gu Hanshuang was extremely surprised to see this. "How could it be so fast? This small world is incredibly sturdy. Even if she had an Emperor-level artifact, it would still take her a long time, right?"

Gu Hanshuang originally thought that the person outside would not be able to arrive before the old monk took the seventh step, but she did not expect that Yue Wuxia would break through the barrier of the small world so quickly and enter it!

But the old monk had already taken the seventh step.

An unparalleled aura revived around him, and the powerful pressure made Ming Yan's breath catch in his throat. Only one thought remained in Ming Yan's mind: it was irresistible!

The old monk locked onto Yue Wuxia with his aura, and then slammed the golden bowl down on her. Yue Wuxia stretched out her fair hand and slapped the bowl away. The old monk's face darkened.

The Taoist robe on Yue Wuxia's body was like the soft moonlight, shrouded in the light of the jade pendant hanging down, making her look holy and unblemished, with a cold gaze.

She stepped forward and appeared in front of Mingyan. Her gaze swept over Mingyan, and with a wave of her jade hand, she pulled Mingyan and Gu Hanshuang into the sleeve of her Taoist robe. The old monk tried to stop her, but was blocked by the imperial artifact and could not get close!

Mingyan was unaware of what was happening outside. He was somewhat anxious. Was his master truly a match for the other party?

Mingyan couldn't hear anything. The outside world was extremely quiet. His Taoist robe blocked out all sound, and there was no light inside. It was pitch black.

"What exactly is your master's strength?" Gu Hanshuang's voice rang out.

"People greet them."

"Impossible. If she's only at the Human Transformation Realm, even with an Emperor-level artifact, it would be difficult to break through the barrier between two worlds in such a short time. Besides, the two just clashed. To wield an Emperor-level artifact to that extent, she absolutely cannot be just a Human Transformation Realm cultivator... Your master is probably already a Saint." Gu Han Shuang's tone was slightly strange. "A Saint wielding an Emperor-level artifact and a Human Transformation Realm cultivator wielding an Emperor-level artifact are two completely different concepts..."

Gu Hanshuang had already woken up when Mingyan and the old monk were fighting, but she was too weak to do anything but watch Mingyan fight the old monk alone.

Therefore, we also know roughly when Yue Wuxia started attacking the small world...

“No wonder…no wonder, no wonder she wanted me to come and pay homage to the Moon Shadow Saint Lord…So that’s how it is, so your master has already become a saint…” Gu Hanshuang murmured. Upon hearing this, Ming Yan understood why Gu Hanshuang wanted to go to the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land. It turned out that it was to pay homage to his master.

Master has already become a saint? Then that means I don't need to worry about Master's safety anymore, right?

Mingyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that Master is alright. Mingyan was a little worried because Master was injured, or even..., while trying to save him.

Even tearing that wicked monk to pieces wouldn't quell the hatred in his heart...

Outside, the old monk looked at Yue Wuxia with a gloomy expression, "Benefactor, you may leave with your disciple; I will not stop you."

"You almost took my disciple's life, and now you think you can make me leave with just a few words?" Yue Wuxia's body was light, her light blue Taoist robe shimmering with moonlight, her hair moving without wind, her eyes cold. "Killing you ten times wouldn't be enough."

"Do you really want to be my enemy?" The old monk's face was grim. He had already decided to back down and didn't want to fight Yue Wuxia. She was a saint, and she even had an imperial artifact. Even if he could maintain the strength of a peak saint for a short time, it would probably be difficult for him to defeat her.

"I'll take your dog's life to alleviate the injustice my disciple suffered." Yue Wuxia's tone was extremely cold as she extended her jade hand, and the Yin-Yang Heart-to-Heart Pendant flew into her palm...

Chapter Seventeen: Watch Her Bow Down to You

Half a day had passed by the time Mingyan and Gu Hanshuang left Yue Wuxia's world in her sleeve.

Mingyan looked around: the leveled mountains, the cratered ground, the endless, massive rows of trees...

The scene was a mess, but within these traces, a powerful aura could still be felt... and power still lingered in these traces.

Mingyan looked down and noticed humanoid ashes on the ground not far away. He paused for a moment, then looked away, turned to Yue Wuxia, and bowed, saying, "Master..."

Gu Hanshuang wasn't particularly surprised by the chaotic, makeshift battlefield. She also bowed and said, "Greetings, Holy Lord Moonshadow. Congratulations on entering the Saint Realm."

Yue Wuxia's gaze, which had been fixed on Ming Yan, shifted to Gu Hanshuang upon hearing this, her eyes cold and piercing. "Why are you with Ming Yan?"

"I originally planned to come from Yaochi..." Gu Hanshuang gave a brief account of the situation. Yue Wuxia remained calm, her black hair moving without wind, and quietly looked at Gu Hanshuang.

Gu Hanshuang lowered her head. "I will keep the matter of the Moon Shadow Saint Lord's ascension to sainthood to my heart and will never tell anyone else."

Yue Wuxia calmly asked, "What business do you have going to Fengling Yueying?"

"In order to pay homage to the Holy Lord of Moon Shadow, and also in order to..." Gu Hanshuang paused, turned her head and glanced at Ming Yan, "The Demon King Bai Ze of the Southern Continent once predicted that I would marry Ming Yan and become his Daoist partner. I do not believe in fate, so when I first met Ming Yan, I had murderous thoughts... My trip here is also to get to know Ming Yan better."

"If possible, I wouldn't mind becoming a Daoist partner with Mingyan."

Gu Hanshuang's words were startling, and Ming Yan was taken aback, looking at her in surprise.

But then he remembered Gu Hanshuang's speculation about his contact with Yu Mudan... A thought struck him: Was she worried that he would side with Yu Mudan?

But she had no idea what was going on behind her back. For someone who only knew a few words to side with her enemy... that's why she wanted to understand herself.

So, she must have known about her contact with Yu Mudan, and perhaps even felt some worry...

Yue Wuxia's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Bai Ze... how could you, a human, be involved with Bai Ze?"

“My ancestors had a deep connection with the Bai Ze clan,” Gu Hanshuang said.

"Your father, aren't you? If I'm not mistaken, you are actually the emperor's son, right?"

Gu Hanshuang remained silent for a moment, neither admitting nor denying, before asking, "What does Holy Lord Yueying think?"

Yue Wuxia glanced at Ming Yan and said, "Why don't you come back to Fengling Yueying with me for a while? This matter cannot be decided hastily. Since you want to understand Ming Yan, spend some time with him and you will naturally find out."

Gu Hanshuang nodded, "Then I'll take my leave."

"Alright, let's go back to the Holy Land." Yue Wuxia waved her hand, and a blanket appeared in the air. Mingyan looked at the humanoid ashes in the distance, and seeing the ashes blown away by the wind, he asked, "Master, did you grind him to dust?"

Yue Wuxia glanced at him but did not answer. Seeing this, Ming Yan did not ask any further questions.

————————————————————————

On the way, Mingyan inquired about the situation of the teleportation array. At that time, the spatial passage was broken, and many people fell from the teleportation array. These people were in danger because of Mingyan, and Mingyan felt extremely guilty.

Upon hearing this, Yue Wuxia said, "The teleportation array has a very short teleportation distance. Even if someone falls into it, they won't get lost. They might just be teleported to another place. There's no need to worry about their safety."

Mingyan was finally relieved.

"..." Seeing this, Gu Hanshuang said, "In that situation, you didn't even have the ability to protect yourself. Even if others were really lost, there was nothing that could be done. That evil monk attacked because he sensed your presence. Even if it was caused by you, this matter cannot be blamed on you. All the blame lies with that evil monk. What does it have to do with you?"

Mingyan smiled slightly, saying nothing. In any case, if everyone else was alright, this was the best outcome.

“Being too kind isn’t a good thing.” Gu Hanshuang frowned slightly, her sharp eyes fixed on Ming Yan. “But I still want to thank you… I know you’ve been protecting me while I was unconscious. Thank you.”

"You've been dragged down because of me, so I need to protect you."

“I don’t deny that, but I suggest you don’t think that way,” Gu Hanshuang said. “Although it seems that we were in danger because of you, it was my own choice to act with you. I should pay the price for my choice or gain something from it. You don’t need to feel guilty. Even if I really die in there, I can only say that I made the wrong choice.”

"Don't make your life too hard," Gu Hanshuang said. "There's no need to take on everything yourself."

Gu Hanshuang lowered her head, sighed softly, and gave a self-deprecating smile, "Why am I telling you all this, as if we have a close relationship?"

Ming Yan looked at Gu Han Shuang, remained silent for a while, and said, "I did meet with Yu Mudan, and she also mentioned to me whether we should cooperate to deal with you."

"is it?"
