Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 216 Lofty Green Mountains, Bright Moon

A few days ago, Su Yun received a letter from her family saying that a monster had appeared in the nearby mountains.

Although it is said that once one enters the path of cultivation, one should sever all worldly ties.

But as the story goes—wealth and honor without returning home are like wearing brocade at night.

Although she couldn't offer much help to her own family, she could still appoint a capable member of her family as a village head.

Su Yun has just entered the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

She had already risen to the rank of elder in her sect.

Upon receiving this news, I immediately guessed that this was the Juque Sect deliberately condoning the feeding of demonic beasts with humans as food, so that they could extract their cores and skins later!

She immediately spat.

The Juque Sect is one of the four major sects, so why does it act so disrespectfully?

Although Su Yun's sect was small, it never did such shameful things that went against heaven and human reason. Now that she thinks about it, she was glad that she didn't pass the Juque Sect's disciple review.

Otherwise, they would have to do something like betraying their master.

This matter was of utmost urgency. Just as Su Yun was about to set off, she received another letter that followed, which said—

A passing cultivator rescued Su Yun's most promising grandson from the jaws of a demon beast. If it weren't for the passing cultivator drawing her sword to help, that grandson would have lost his life!

The letter described the scene as exceptionally thrilling and full of twists and turns.

Su Yun was terrified after seeing this.

Further down the story, it says that the cultivator, along with another person, went to great lengths to kill the demon beast. The demon beast was not yet a threat, and the Su family originally wanted to find something else as a reward, but they were unable to stop the people from leaving.

It took a lot of effort?

Su Yun guessed that the two people's cultivation levels were not too high.

Sigh! If she had stayed a few more days, perhaps she could have given him some medicinal pills when she returned to the Su family...

Thinking this, Su Yun put the letter away, pretending not to have seen it, and continued to report to her sect that she needed to get rid of the demon beast.

Although the demon beast is gone, she can take this opportunity to return to her family home.

See if there are any promising juniors who can be mentored, and while we're at it, we can travel around, eat, drink, and have fun. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

With that in mind, Su Yun was no longer in a hurry.

They strolled leisurely towards their ancestral home.

Tonight, Su Yun visited an old friend and drank a few cups of spiritual wine. She rode her sword, feeling ethereal and blissful, but accidentally took the wrong path.

Taking the wrong turn is one thing.

Su Yun was on her way back when she suddenly noticed something strange not far ahead. She looked closely and immediately sobered up a bit!

Good guy!

Such an ugly monster exists in the world, seemingly chasing after the two cultivators ahead with its fangs bared and claws outstretched.

Su Yun acted faster than she thought, immediately striking it with a spiritual blade.

In hindsight, this demon seemed to be at an extremely high level!

She immediately slapped her forehead, realizing she had been so drunk and careless. Without another word, Su Jun ran away in a flash.

I was filled with fear.

……

Xu, the woodcutter, carried his hoe up the mountain.

He didn't come to chop wood; he came to dig ginseng.

Xu the woodcutter wasn't from around here; his home was quite far away!

This isn't because my daughter is seriously ill. According to the traveling doctor, although this mountain is dangerous, it has many good things to offer.

If you really want to improve your child's health, you can come and check it out.

However, Xu the woodcutter is here to dig for ginseng not only for his daughter, but also to make money from it.

This is all thanks to a chivalrous knight who happened to pass by some time ago.

He had no money in his pocket and couldn't afford the medicine, so he was sitting on a roadside stone wiping away his tears.

The little girl in black with her hair tied up had already walked past, but for some reason she turned back and asked him what was wrong.

Xu Qiaofu's daughter was quite ill at the time.

The doctor said that if strong medicine is not used, I might not live more than three days. Even if medicine is used, it will be very dangerous. It is possible that the medicine will actually kill me.

No matter how dangerous it is, I can't let my daughter wait to die.

However, Xu Qiaofu never expected that the medicine in the prescription would be so expensive.

He knelt and begged, but the people in the pharmacy only said, "Don't make things difficult for them; we won't open this door."

After hearing this, the swordsman asked for the prescription.

He paid for the medicine for his daughter out of his own pocket, and not only that, he also went home with him and watched his daughter drink the medicine.

Xu Qiaofu and his wife were extremely panicked, fearing that their daughter would not make it.

Thank goodness!

His daughter was on the verge of not making it, but she eventually pulled through.

When he turned back to thank the man, the chivalrous man had already disappeared.

Xu the woodcutter spent the whole day on the mountain and dug up two half-grown ginseng roots. They didn't look very old, but they could still be exchanged for some money.

Once he made a harvest, Xu the woodcutter would forget the time.

It was already dark...

Xu the woodcutter was packing his things to go down the mountain. He made a living on the mountain all year round and was not afraid of the dark.

Just then, the hoe fell down!

Xu the woodcutter broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, if the hoe hadn't slipped and fallen, he wouldn't have realized how steep it was over there!

With that in mind, Xu the woodcutter became more cautious as he descended the mountain.

……

Previously, Zhu Wuyao dared not use the "Stone-Making Connection" technique when facing a crisis because he always believed it was an evil art that required people to repay with their lives.

But now it seems that is not the case.

According to the spirit pen, those who came to help because of the strokes did not perish.

After a moment's thought, Zhu Wuyao understood the intricacies of the matter.

If there are too few pieces on the chessboard, the Sky-Gazing Technique will sacrifice a pawn to save the rook.

However, if one has enough pieces, capturing one of the opponent's pieces allows each piece to remain in its proper place without venturing into dangerous territory, thus creating an encirclement and annihilation effort without suffering any damage.

Zhu Wuyao was also a pawn dropped by Heaven to lure Ye Xiaozhou into a trap and force him to his doom.

She was completely unaware that she was in a game of chess.

Until they understood the divination results and saw through the hidden danger.

Zhu Wuyao thought he was isolated and helpless.

Looking around now, I was shocked to realize that the white pieces had already occupied the entire board.

When we entered the border of Liquan, the snow had melted and the ice had just begun to thaw. Tonight, as we fled, dew had already formed on our tips and dampened our clothes. The spring night in the mountains and fields carried a mild dampness, and when we breathed, we seemed to smell the earthy scent.

Zhu Wuyao's breathing gradually became disordered.

On a bright, moonlit night, Ye Xiaozhou's reflection overlapped with hers.

The shadows of the two people who had left their hometown merged into one, rushing forward, with countless majestic green mountains looming behind them.

There are mountains she has crossed, and mountains she has never set foot on.

This road is only seven miles long.

Zhu Wuyao, however, used a thousand miles to exchange for it.

She dared not turn around, afraid that the Lord of Xuan City would take the opportunity to catch up, and also afraid that Ye Xiaozhou would not be able to hold on and would lose his breath.

The city lord's mansion, built against the mountain, was reflected in her eyes.

"arrive."

Ye Xiaozhou leaned on her shoulder, her black hair flying in the wind, rising and falling with it.

The bright moon shines, and I have always favored her more.

Even though she was covered in blood, the bright moon never withheld its light.

"Um……"

A barely audible reply came from behind, and Zhu Wuyao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, settled down again.
