Chapter 86 Reunion with an Old Friend

Su Chun turned around stiffly, only to see a woman in a light gold dress standing behind her.

She was tall and slender, with an exceptionally beautiful face. Her pale golden eyes were scrutinizing me with great interest, and a half-smile played on her lips.

"Little sister Su Chun, how have you been?"

The familiar voice carried a hint of mockery and languor.

Su Chun looked completely surprised.

"Tantai Yuexi?"

Indeed, the woman before her was none other than Tantai Yuexi, the Xuan Guang Pavilion cultivator with whom she had met in Lingyuan Blessed Land years ago, a woman with whom she had become acquainted through a misunderstanding.

She was also the first woman to make Su Chun's heart flutter.

But what is she doing here? And judging from the other person's expression, it seems they noticed her a long time ago?

A storm raged in Su Chun's heart. She subconsciously took a step back, placed her hand on the hilt of the Xuan Yan Sword at her waist, and looked at her opponent warily.

Seeing her looking so alarmed, Tantai Yuexi couldn't help but chuckle.

"Little sister Su Chun, what are you doing? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"

She stepped forward slowly, but the aura emanating from her made Su Chun even more alarmed.

Tantai Yuexi exuded the aura of the early stage of Core Formation, proving that her previous cultivation level was indeed a disguise.

"You, how did you get here?"

Su Chun asked in a deep voice, not believing it was just a coincidence.

Tantai Yuexi blinked her pale golden eyes, her smile unchanged.

"Why can't I be here? This is the location of our Xuan Guang Pavilion's new mountain gate. As for you, Sister Su Chun, you've left the Xuan Yue Sect? I was in trouble with you back then, and I thought something had happened to you. I didn't expect you to run to the Heavenly Dao Alliance and join the Ancient Sword Sect. What are you people from the Ancient Sword Sect doing in our Nine Kingdoms Alliance territory? And you're acting all sneaky. Have you done something wrong?"

Su Chun's expression darkened slightly.

The appearance of Tantai Yuexi disrupted all her plans.

She didn't know whether the other person was a friend or foe.

"What we do seems to be none of Fellow Daoist Tantai's business, right?"

Su Chun spoke in a cold tone, creating distance between herself and the other person.

Tantai Yuexi seemed oblivious to her coldness and continued to speak with a smile.

"How could it be unrelated? Just now, the Nine Kingdoms Alliance sent word that a cultivator from the Heavenly Dao Alliance infiltrated our Nine Kingdoms Alliance and obtained a great treasure from a certain secret realm. They are being hunted down with all their might. Our Xuan Guang Pavilion is now also a member of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, so naturally we must do our part."

Su Chun's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong.

It seems the Nine Kingdoms Alliance has already spread the news throughout the entire alliance, making it difficult for me to leave quietly.

"It's purely a misunderstanding by you Nine Kingdoms Alliance people."

Su Chun would definitely not admit that they had obtained the treasure.

A sly glint flashed in Tantai Yuexi's eyes.

"Really? That's what I think."

Su Chun glanced around and found that all the disciples of Xuan Guang Pavilion had left the area.

"Stop looking, I called them away. It's safe here. Hey, little girl, do I really make you feel that unsafe?"

Tantai Yuexi asked with her hands on her hips, clearly dissatisfied.

These words startled Su Chun, but she quickly realized that the other party was not there to arrest her.

"You...you didn't come here to arrest me?"

Tantai Yuexi rolled her eyes.

"If I wanted to capture you, I would have come to see you secretly. I specialize in cultivation techniques related to divine sense, and my divine sense power far surpasses that of ordinary early-stage Core Formation cultivators. I could have spotted you from afar."

Su Chun lowered her guard slightly.

Why are you helping me?

There's no such thing as a free lunch, and she didn't believe that Tantai Yuexi would help her for no reason.

Tantai Yuexi seemed to see through her thoughts and chuckled softly.

"Because I'm very curious about you, curious about how you, a pseudo-spiritual root of the five elements, managed to advance from the Qi Refining Realm to the mid-Foundation Establishment Realm in just a few years?"

Her gaze was almost tangible, as if she could see right through Su Chun.

Su Chun remained silent.

She knew she had no choice.

Faced with the relentless pursuit of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, it would be virtually impossible for him to leave their territory safely on his own.

"It's a secret, there's nothing to say. Now I'm the fish on the chopping block, and you're the butcher. You can do whatever you want, but I won't just surrender."

Su Chun naturally had ways to deal with Tantai Yuexi.

However, judging from their demeanor, they don't seem to have any bad intentions.

"Hey! You're really boring. Why weren't you so distant back then? We're friends, you know. You saved my life. Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't know how to repay kindness? Put this on, and I'll send you away from Xuan Guang Pavilion's territory."

Seeing that Su Chun was constantly on guard against her, Tantai Yuexi became somewhat annoyed and directly handed Su Chun a set of Xuan Guang Pavilion disciple robes.

"Are you really letting me go?"

Su Chun was stunned.

"Hurry up and get better. I was actually quite happy to see an old friend again, but the way you are, you have no intention of catching up with me at all."

Tantai Yuexi crossed her arms and urged him impatiently, her face showing obvious displeasure.

Su Chun didn't have time to argue with her anymore. She quickly changed into the Xuan Guang Pavilion disciple's robes and followed Tantai Yuexi into the air.

Where are you taking me?

Su Chun, now dressed in a gold dress, lowered her head and asked a question in a low voice.

"The Nine Kingdoms Alliance is heading towards the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and there are people looking for you everywhere. You can't leave now. Go to my place and lay low for a while. You can leave after everyone has left."

Su Chun thought about it and realized that this was indeed the best choice.

"By the way, my other two senior sisters weren't captured by your Xuan Guang Pavilion, were they?"

Su Chun asked another question.

When Tantai Yuexi saw Su Chun ask this, her lips immediately curled up.

"Are you begging me?"

Su Chun looked at Tantai Yuexi's smug expression and was at her wit's end.

"Please, I'm begging you."

Tantai Yuexi quickly took out her communication token and asked the other members of Xuanguang Pavilion.

Fortunately, so far, the cultivators of Xuan Guang Pavilion have not captured any other disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect.

Tantai Yuexi quickly reported the situation to Su Chun, who immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon after, the two flew into the Xuan Guang Pavilion's mountain gate.

With Tantai Yuexi leading the way, naturally no one stopped them.

Su Chun was also led by Tantai Yuexi into an elegant attic.

This place is located deep inside the Xuanguang Pavilion mountain gate.

"Please sit down. This is where I usually cultivate. Without my permission, no one will come here."

Tantai Yuexi casually set up a soundproof barrier, then turned around and took a celadon teapot from the antique shelf.

"Try this, Cloud Mist Spirit Tea."

Su Chun sat awkwardly on the wooden chair, watching the other person skillfully boil water, brew tea, and then use magic to deliver the tea to her.

After arriving here, Su Chun completely relaxed.

"You were indeed faking your cultivation level back then. Now I should address you as Senior Tantai, right?"

Tantai Yuexi thought Su Chun was afraid of her revenge because of what happened back then.

"Hehe, scared? Scared that I'll beat you up? Don't worry, I'm not that petty. As for you, it's already outrageous enough that you only had a pseudo-spiritual root in the Five Elements Foundation Establishment stage. Now, in just a few years, you've already reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have really thought that you had been hiding your cultivation back then."

Su Chun picked up her teacup and took a sip of the spiritual tea.

"I did not leave Lingyuan Blessed Land back then. When I came out again, I was attacked by spies from the demonic path and trapped in Lingyuan Blessed Land. By the time I came out, the Yue Kingdom had undergone tremendous changes."

These words startled Tantai Yuexi.

"Such a thing actually happened? But why would a spy from your Xuan Yue Sect target you?"

Su Chun sighed heavily.

"It's a secret, I can't tell you for now. By the way, do you know exactly what happened to our Xuan Yue Sect during the years I was trapped in Lingyuan Blessed Land?"

Su Chun was still concerned about the safety of Yue Ningxuan and the others.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Yuexi became extremely angry, and she quickly explained the situation.

Su Chun felt very heavy-hearted after learning that the Xuan Yue Sect had become a branch of the He Huan Sect.

"As far as I know, the former Grand Elder of the Xuan Yue Sect, Yue Ningxuan, was in seclusion breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Do you know her current situation?"

Tantai Yuexi shook her head.

"I don't know. If you want to know, you'll have to go back and check for yourself. However, that place is now the territory of the demonic path, so it might not be easy to go back."

Su Chun of Xuan Yue Sect will definitely go back, but not now. If she goes back now, there's nothing she can do.

"Thank you for helping me. It seems that saving you back then wasn't in vain."

Su Chun made a joke.

These words made Tantai Yuexi put down her teacup and look at her with an unfriendly expression.
