Chapter 7.7. Torrential Rain
The pattering rain on the leaves was crisp and pleasant.

However, this scene lasted for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Soon, torrential rain engulfed the entire world, and thick clouds obscured the moon.

Qiu Yuehan seemed to be asleep.

Lu Changyuan sat next to her, listening to her even breathing. The sound of the heavy rain and the fairy's breathing seemed to have a kind of pleasant harmony.

The fairy's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she were having a nightmare.

In his opinion, Qiu Yuehan was an extremely outstanding disciple of the Immortal Sect.

Since they can be rated as excellent, they should cultivate immortality by any means necessary. No, to put it more nicely, they should only have the Great Dao in their hearts, so they can sacrifice everything for the Great Dao.

For thousands of years, those who have cultivated themselves to the point of losing all humanity have all used this excuse.

Such a strong sense of justice and hatred for evil shouldn't exist in such an outstanding fairy.

But Lu Changyuan couldn't help but think of it again.

Being righteous and ruthless do not seem to be contradictory personality traits.

Boom!

The enormous thunder dragon illuminated the entire night in an instant.

Xia Lianxue suddenly opened her eyes, and with the help of the scattered light, she met Lu Changyuan's gaze.

For a moment, Xia Lianxue felt a little scared, but also a little familiar. She was wondering where this sense of familiarity came from when she heard a sound in the rain.

A strange flute melody burst forth from the rain curtain, and Xia Lianxue suddenly reached out to support her head, her beautiful eyes slowly turning a shade of red.

Lu Changyuan murmured softly, "It seems someone has arrived. Is the fairy alright?"

Soft black hair escaped from between Xia Lianxue's fingers, concealing the fairy's trembling body.

Only for a moment.

"It's alright, keep an eye on Senior Sister."

Xia Lianxue seemed to immediately return to normal, stopping the carriage, drawing her sword, opening the door, and coldly asking, "Hiding like that, who is it!?"

The rain seemed to be getting heavier.

Moreover, the clear rainwater appeared to be stained with layers of blood, turning an intensely crimson red.

Xia Lianxue frowned slightly: "Blood Demon Palace? It really is a persistent ghost, does it have to oppose my Miaoyu Palace?"

The sound of the flute in the rain became even more urgent, as if it had suddenly shifted from the misty Jiangnan region to an ambush from all sides.

Red rain fell on the ground, staining it red. Soon, the ground began to writhe and churn, eventually forming some kind of disgusting creature.

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Changyuan could clearly see through the rain that the sludge-like creatures multiplied, eventually surrounding the carriage in the hundreds and thousands.

If the goal is to win by sheer numbers...

Lu Changyuan and the two fairies from Miaoyu Palace will probably die here today.

pity.

It was still a sword light, and the rain in the world seemed to pause for a moment. When the light dissipated, all those disgusting monsters had been annihilated by this sword.

Lu Changyuan had never seen Qiu Yuehan at her peak, but he had seen Xia Lianxue at her peak.

Before reaching the fifth realm, without understanding one's own path, and without breaking through the mental tribulations, a single sword strike can still pierce through space and time, sweeping across all directions.

This generation of young people is a bit too strong.

Qiu Yuehan had woken up at some point, her hand gripping the hilt of her sword, lost in thought.

Lu Changyuan laughed and said, "Any other reinforcements? This Blood Demon Palace seems to have been eyeing your Miaoyu Palace for a long time, and they're determined to take your lives."

If the two most outstanding disciples of a sect are killed, then the next generation will be cut off.

Qiu Yuehan remained silent, only wanting to get up and go out to help, but in the end she sighed and sat back down. "I saw you send two letters the other day, so there must be reinforcements coming."

Qiu Yuehan lowered her beautiful eyes, and Lu Changyuan couldn't quite understand her complicated expression: "One letter is for my junior sister, and the other is to be sent back to the palace. My junior sister and I will most likely have to return to the palace, so we can only ask someone else to take care of the affairs of the Liuli Dynasty."

It would take at least several days for a message to be sent back to Miaoyu Palace, and several more days for reinforcements to be sent. Considering all that, it's highly unlikely that reinforcements will arrive today.

Lu Changyuan remained relaxed, looking out the car window: "Then we can only pin our hopes on your junior sister."

The rain outside the window was still incredibly cold, but it did nothing to affect the fairy's elegant white dress.

The fairy's clear and gentle voice carried a hint of unyielding coldness: "If this leads to a full-scale war between the two palaces, can your Blood Demon Palace bear that responsibility?"

A faint voice drifted from afar: "No need for you to trouble yourself, fairy. You should first find a way to leave this blood prison!"

At some unknown time, countless pillars of blood surged up from all directions, surrounding the entire mountain.

The hissing sound was particularly clear amidst the patter of raindrops, and as the blood prison took shape, the soil in the mountains began to turn red and gradually became corrosive.

Xia Lianxue snorted coldly: "That's all the tricks you have."

Miaoyu's Immortal Techniques, the Technique of Illuminating the Moon.

A bright moon slowly emerged from behind Xia Lianxue, piercing through the clouds and halting the rain, mirroring the full moon in the sky.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, only in the center is there no rain, no clouds, and the moon can be seen in the sky.

The people behind the blood prison were also revealed by the moonlight. They were the two people who had been scared away by Xia Lianxue not long ago. It was unknown why the two people had chased after them again.

The two black-robed figures from the Blood Demon Palace exchanged a glance and said helplessly, "We still underestimated the true disciples of the Jade Palace."

Before the words were even finished, one of them had already broken through the wind and rushed straight towards Xia Lianxue's face.

This is a sneak attack.

Not only that, another man in black robes also stepped back and circled around behind Xia Lianxue, seemingly intending to trap her in the middle and attack at the same time.

Suddenly, a dreamlike, ethereal glass-like feather robe materialized around Xia Lianxue's body.

"break."

Only then did the two Blood Demon Palace members realize that a white feather had appeared behind them without their noticing. As Xia Lianxue finished speaking, the white feather suddenly grew larger, as if weighing a thousand pounds, and then slammed heavily onto their bodies.

Both of them coughed up blood at the same time.

The slightly taller man in black robes sneered, "Xia Lianxue, do you really not know what's good for you? We'll get rid of Qiu Yuehan for you, and then you'll be the young palace master."

Xia Lianxue's eyes were like frost: "Don't try to sow discord within my Miaoyu Palace."

Just at this time.

A huge, blood-red skull appeared out of nowhere and, taking advantage of the moment when Xia Lianxue drew her sword to counterattack the two men in black robes, charged straight at the carriage.

Oh no, there's someone hiding in the shadows.

This was the first thought in Xia Lianxue's mind.

"I can catch up," was my second thought.

Then the feathered robe grew larger, like a bird flapping its wings, and rushed swiftly to the carriage to cover it.

The sound of the flute resumed.

The sound was melodious and lingering, as if it came from the past.

The feather robe abruptly stopped in mid-air, Xia Lianxue's eyes were bloodshot, and many sounds exploded in her ears.

All the things of this world flashed before my eyes, leaving behind only the words of Master Han Shui.

"Yuehan looks remarkably like the Palace Master when she was young."
