Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

After listening, Lu Zhan's expression was quite complicated, so he turned his gaze to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun was helpless when she saw these people twisting the truth. She knew she couldn't defeat this peak third level Dao Palace cultivator, so she had to resort to underhanded tactics.

"Senior brother, don't you think about it? Is what he said reasonable, or what I said reasonable? Because I mainly cultivate the physical body, my cultivation level only appears to be at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm. At that time, I ambushed that Blue Armored Sand Crab and knocked it dizzy. Then these people suddenly appeared and pierced the Blue Armored Sand Crab's mouth with their flying swords. They obviously ignored me because they saw that my cultivation level was not high. That's how it is. You can judge for yourself. Anyway, I'm too lazy to explain." Ye Liuyun didn't want to explain any further. If they wanted to fight, they should fight.

After listening, Lu Zhan already had a decision in his heart. However, even so, he could not completely side with Ye Liuyun. Otherwise, when he returned to Qingyun Peak, people would definitely say that he was biased towards outsiders and had forgotten his principles for the sake of beauty.

"Damn it, I've been tricked by these guys. Now I'm in a real dilemma!" Lu Zhan glared at Tan Tong out of the corner of his eye.

Tan Tong looked at Lu Zhan and immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Zhan. He was clearly feeling guilty.

"Alright, how about this? Let's find another solution. We're all from the same sect. Even if you injured the Blue-Armored Sand Crab, they killed it. Giving them half of the Blue-Armored Sand Crab should be reasonable, right? After all, you destroyed six of their spiritual weapons and seriously injured one of our junior brothers. Even if you're in the right, your actions were a bit excessive." After thinking it over, Lu Zhan decided to play peacemaker.

Tan Tong and the others' expressions changed, but he didn't say anything. Tan Tong's look just now was already a warning to them.

So this is actually the best choice, because if the woman in front of them is unwilling to give up a portion of the Blue-Armored Sand Crabs, then their loss will be irreparable.

“I agree with Senior Brother Lu.” Tan Tong chose to accept.

But Ye Liuyun didn't want to accept it. It was a joke. These guys were the ones who stole her things and even tried to kill her. Because of some restrictions, she couldn't kill anyone, so she could only teach them a lesson. If it were Lin Aoxue, they would be buried with grass growing tall by now.

"I'm sorry, I'm not wrong. I can't accept such an unreasonable proposal. Senior brother, you don't need to say anything more." Ye Liuyun rejected it without even thinking.

Ye Liuyun's direct refusal immediately enraged Tan Tong and the others.

"Senior Brother Lu, look at this woman. She's so arrogant, she doesn't even give you face. I think we should just take her down and see how she can keep up her act later," Tan Tong said angrily.

Having said that, Lu Zhan had no other choice.

"Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to offend my junior sister." Lu Zhan took a deep breath and then said nothing more.

Ye Liuyun immediately became alert.

"Hmph! If you want to fight, then fight."

Seeing that Ye Liuyun remained obstinate, Lu Zhan took action directly. With a wave of his hand, the sword formation surrounding Ye Liuyun began to operate.

Five flying swords carrying different energies began to converge within the array's range, their intention being to capture Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun looked at the five flying swords and sighed softly.

"What a pity, several more magical artifacts will have to be scrapped."

Ye Liuyun's mind stirred, and Lan Wei flew out of her body, flashing past the swords in a flash. The next moment, the five high-grade spiritual weapons were broken in two, and the sword formation was shattered as well.

Lu Zhan, who had been quite calm, turned to stone the moment his sword was severed in an instant. His eyes bulged out.

He stared in disbelief at his five damaged and powerless swords that had sunk into the water, his head spinning, unable to process what had happened for a long time.

Those were five high-grade spiritual weapons! Even Tan Tong and the others standing nearby were so shocked they almost bit their tongues.

"Five top-grade spiritual flying swords, just like that, broken?" Tan Tong muttered in a panic.

At the same time, they also felt that the situation was serious.

After being stunned for a long time, Lu Zhan trembled and spat out a mouthful of blood, which was caused by his anger.

---------------------------------

Ye Liuyun looked at the destroyed sword formation and said helplessly.

"Senior brother, didn't those guys tell you that my weapon can easily cut through spiritual weapons? Let me make this clear first, you can't blame me for this, I was acting in self-defense. If you want to blame someone, blame those guys."

After saying this, Ye Liuyun swallowed a blue pill. This was the same pill he had given Lin Aoxue in the Wind and Rain Forest. After swallowing this pill, a thin film would form on the surface of the body, which could block water and allow breathing through the film.

Ye Liuyun knew that if she cut off this guy's weapon, she would definitely capture him, but she had no choice. If she didn't destroy his weapon, she wouldn't be able to escape. After taking the pill, Ye Liuyun took advantage of the others' inattention and plunged into the lake.

"Hey? Oh no, Senior Brother Lu, she's trying to escape!" Tan Tong shouted as he watched Ye Liuyun dive into the water.

Lu Zhan finally snapped out of his daze.

"Ah...you owe me my treasure." After regaining his senses, Lu Zhan immediately chased after her into the lake.

Just kidding, you destroyed five of his precious swords. Even if there was no prior grudge, now you've created a major enmity.

Ye Liuyun is like that; he either tries to avoid trouble, or if he does get into trouble, he's too lazy to dwell on it. Perhaps his mindset has changed recently; he's gone from being afraid of trouble to not being afraid of any trouble at all.

This is a change in mindset brought about by increased strength.

Ye Liuyun ran into the water because she wasn't in any danger, but for the people chasing her, it was a huge danger.

"Huh? How dare this guy chase after us? Does he have a death wish?" Ye Liuyun was stunned as he looked at Lu Zhan, who was rapidly chasing after him.

Meanwhile, the monsters at the bottom of the lake smelled the presence of humans and began to swim towards them. There were quite a few of them, mostly fish-like monsters, the weakest of whom were at the Spirit Pattern Realm.

As for Lu Zhan's companions, they originally wanted to give chase, but they chickened out when they thought about the dangers underwater.

"What? Will Senior Brother Lu be alright? Has this woman gone mad? She'd rather die than hand over a portion of the Blue Armored Sand Crabs to us. What is she thinking? Or does she think she won't die?" The Qingyun Peak disciples floating on the lake were all bewildered.

In their eyes, treasures are good, but you have to be alive to use them.

"That woman is absolutely insane, and so is Senior Brother Lu. He's so reckless; why did he just rush down like that?" another person said.

“I don’t think we can blame Senior Brother Lu for this. Five high-grade spiritual artifacts were destroyed. You can’t even handle losing one low-grade spiritual artifact, but these are five high-grade spiritual artifacts. If it were me, I would probably fight to the death with them.” Another cultivator at the second level of the Dao Palace said with a twitching face.

However, someone grabbed Tan Tong by the collar.

"Tan Tong, this is all your fault. This woman's treasure is so powerful, why didn't you say so sooner? You caused Senior Brother Lu such a great loss. If something happens to Senior Brother Lu, you're finished." Accompanying Tan Tong were five cultivators at the second level of the Dao Palace. They had come with Lu Zhan.

Tan was extremely nervous at the same time.

"I, I, I didn't expect that this woman's weapon could even cut through a high-grade spiritual weapon. Besides, why didn't you go down and help Senior Brother Lu?" Tan Tong stammered.

As he said this, he prayed in his heart that Lu Zhan would not come back alive, and that he would die down there, because then he would be out of trouble.

This person is quite cunning; once he realizes he's about to get into trouble, he wants to put out the fire as soon as possible.

"We're going down? Even a fourth-level Dao Palace cultivator would have a hard time surviving down there. Are we going to go down and die?" the man said angrily.

Lu Zhan was still chasing Ye Liuyun, but Ye Liuyun, relying on the effects of the pill, was able to move through the water faster than Lu Zhan.

"So many demonic beasts, you can play by yourself." Ye Liuyun saw the demonic beasts approaching from all around and quickly took two more pills, an invisibility pill and a Vajra pill.

As soon as Ye Liuyun took the two pills, her aura and figure immediately disappeared. She sank to the bottom of the lake like a stone.

With the demonic beasts having lost their target Ye Liuyun, they had no choice but to all go after Lu Zhan.

When Lu Zhan saw Ye Liuyun suddenly disappear, he knew he had been tricked.

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap! This woman has ways to hide underwater! Lu Zhan, Lu Zhan, how could you be so reckless? This is Bihai Lake, how could you possibly come down here?" Lu Zhan looked at the monsters swimming around him and quickly formed a sword incantation to release his magic to attack them and stop them from getting closer.

However, underwater he could only exert the cultivation of the second level of the Dao Palace, while most of the demonic beasts here had the combat power of the early stage of the Dao Palace.

With his mere Dao Palace Level 2 cultivation, he was utterly incapable of defeating these monsters.

The monsters easily dodged Lu Zhan's attacks and were quickly surrounded. There were many of them, including monsters at the mid-stage of the Dao Palace realm.

"Ah... Damn Tan Tong, you've ruined me! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!" Lu Zhan finally realized he'd been tricked.

Not only that, but none of his companions followed him down.

"I misjudged people, I met the wrong person! Heavens, am I, Lu Zhan, going to die here?" Lu Zhan looked at the monsters surrounding him, his face full of despair, because he had no chance of winning.

Even if a fourth-level Dao Palace cultivator came, so many monsters would die here with their hatred.

"The demonic aura is so strong... Should we really not go down and rescue Senior Brother Lu?" A fellow disciple from Lu Zhan's team above couldn't help but ask after sensing the strong demonic aura below.

The expressions on the faces of the others changed repeatedly.

"This...this has nothing to do with me. I just came to take a look. Goodbye." Someone got scared and turned to leave.

If Lu Zhan dies here, and the matter is investigated, it might implicate them.

Another person ran away, and soon even Tan Tong and the others were going to run away. All of this was completely unexpected by Tan Tong. He was the one who called for reinforcements, so how did they suddenly end up in such a desperate situation?

"Damn woman, it's all your fault! And you, Lu Zhan, are you out of your mind? Why did you run down there? Don't come back alive, or you'll definitely come after me." Tan Tong's eyes were full of worry.

These people didn't want to get into trouble, so they all wanted to leave the Azure Sea Floating Island Group as soon as possible. However, just as they arrived at the entrance, they happened to bump into Lin Aoxue, who had just entered.

Lin Aoxue saw several disciples from Qingyun Peak running towards her in a panic and asked them a question.

"Junior brothers and sisters, what's wrong with you? What happened up ahead? Why are you so flustered?"

However, these people were all very nervous and didn't know how to answer properly. But since the person in front of them was a direct disciple of the main peak, they couldn't very well ignore her when she asked them a question.

"Oh, hey, you're a direct disciple of the main peak. Are you the newly recruited Lin Aoxue, Senior Sister Lin?" The main peak didn't have any direct disciples, so they knew who Lin Aoxue was as soon as they saw her attire.

"Yes, it's me. What happened here?" Lin Aoxue asked.

These people were conflicted, but they still gave a general explanation.

"Well, during our training, a senior brother from Qingyun Peak and a junior sister from Caiyun Peak had a conflict. They fought their way into the lake, attracting a large number of demonic beasts. We were worried about a beast horde, so we rushed out to warn the people outside," the Qingyun Peak disciple said in a panic.

Lin Aoxue glanced at their expressions and realized they didn't seem to have encountered a beast tide; rather, they seemed to be acting like they had done something wrong.

"Oh, I see." Lin Aoxue didn't ask any further questions.

Seeing that Lin Aoxue was no longer asking questions, the group quickly left. At the same time, Lin Aoxue sensed the area to her west and indeed found a huge fluctuation of demonic energy.

"Such a strong demonic aura, is it really a beast tide?" Lin Aoxue quickly flew over.

She had been trying to contact Ye Liuyun, but he wasn't replying. So she was instinctively a little worried, even though she knew he wouldn't die.

Chapter 280: Mission Completed (4500 words)

Looking at Ye Liuyun, she hid at the bottom of the lake, relying on the effects of the pills, and just watched as Lu Zhan was besieged by the demonic beasts.

If no one saves Lu Zhan, he will surely die; there is no doubt about it.

“Hey? Master, isn’t this going a bit too far? This Senior Brother Lu, although he’s biased towards the people of Qingyun Peak, isn’t unreasonable judging from his previous attitude. I feel that he was also deceived by that group of people just now. If we let him die in the mouth of the demon beast, wouldn’t that be too much?” Ye Liuyun asked in a low voice.

Lu Zhan was already injured from the repeated attacks of the demonic beasts, and he had no way to run back to the lake.

"Huh? This seems a bit too much. So what are your thoughts on saving him?" Lin Qingyou asked in return.

After thinking it over, Ye Liuyun decided to save the guy's life. She had dived into the water to escape their pursuit, but who knew that Lu Zhan would chase after her like a madman.

Lu Zhan was worn down by the repeated attacks of the demonic beasts and quickly lost his fighting ability. Without the strength to support him, he was also dizzy from being filled with lake water. The demonic beasts were deliberately wearing him down in this way. As long as they didn't let him escape, he would surely die. There was no need to fight him to the death.

As Lu Zhan fainted, one of the demons at the mid-stage of the Dao Palace realm immediately opened its mouth wide and tried to swallow him. The human body of a Dao Palace realm cultivator was a great tonic for demons.

Just as Lu Zhan was about to perish in the demon's jaws, an invisible pressure carrying divine thought spread out towards these demons.

"roll."

The word "get lost" echoed in the minds of these monsters at the same time.

With just that one word, all the monsters were terrified and hurriedly fled the waters.

This was because Lin Qingyou used her divine sense to scare them away. The divine sense of an immortal was comparable to the might of heaven in the minds of these demons.

After the monsters left, Ye Liuyun quickly deactivated the effects of the Invisibility Pill and the Vajra Pill, swam upwards, and grabbed Lu Zhan by the collar when he arrived.

"Kid, I'm repaying kindness with ingratitude by saving your life. I hope you'll be smart when you wake up and not get manipulated by others," Ye Liuyun said, then pulled the guy up and swam to shore, quickly climbing out of the lake.

After bringing the guy out, Ye Liuyun quickly reached the shore, threw him on the bank, and gave him a hard punch in the stomach, which churned out all the lake water inside him.

"Pfft! Cough cough cough." Lu Zhan woke up quickly.

When I woke up, I found myself on the shore, and then I saw Ye Liuyun next to me.

"You? You saved me?" Lu Zhan asked curiously, looking at Ye Liuyun who was standing with his arms crossed and looked displeased.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.

"Otherwise what? I'm telling you, senior brother, you're too reckless. It's only because it's me; if it were anyone else, who would care if they lived or died if you chased them?" Ye Liuyun complained.

After escaping death, Lu Zhan finally understood that living is more important than anything else. Ye Liuyun destroyed his weapon, which was his own problem. After all, if you're going to arrest someone, why can't they resist?

More than the destruction of his weapons, he was now furious with his followers and Tan Tong.

"Alas! I've met the wrong person. I can see that you've done nothing wrong, Junior Sister, but unfortunately, I'm a disciple of Qingyun Peak. If I don't help the disciples of my peak, they'll send me back to Qingyun Peak, and it will be very difficult for me to survive there in the future." Lu Zhan struggled to his feet.

Lu Zhan wasn't just making things up, because it was indeed true.

The various factions within the Yun Sect were originally independent entities.

"Hmph! That's your problem. I saved you only because I felt you weren't the kind of person who deserved to die. You'd better watch yourself and not come looking for trouble." Ye Liuyun said this and then ran away.

Lu Zhan watched Ye Liuyun leave without even leaving his name, and sighed heavily before quickly taking some medicine to heal his injuries.

Not long after, Ye Liuyun saw Lin Aoxue flying over from a distance.

"Hey? Aoxue, Aoxue." Ye Liuyun quickly called out to Lin Aoxue in the sky.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Aoxue quickly located Ye Liuyun's position.
