The final gift Yun Qianxue chose was a high-quality sachet.
If worn on one’s person, whenever Lü Qi played the zither, others would first hear the music, then smell the fragrance, and finally see the beauty playing the instrument.
In this way, one could enjoy a triple feast for the senses of hearing, smell, and sight.
It was wonderful.
Since Lü Qi joined the Fengqing Sect and rose to fame under the title Child of the Wind God, the Fengqing Sect had become a household name among the Righteous Faction.
Yu Yi had simply asked around and found that the Fengqing Sect was located in Yuanzhou.
Qizhou was located in the Midlands, a land of abundant Lingqi with numerous sects and countless cultivation resources.
In such an environment, many Demonic Sects and evil factions existed alongside the righteous ones.
The base of the long-established Mosha Sect was in Qizhou, and its presence posed a significant threat to the region.
The Fengqing Sect and many other righteous forces had fought against the Mosha Sect for several years.
With the addition of Lü Qi, the fourth disciple of Among the Colorful Clouds, the number of expeditions the Fengqing Sect led against the Demonic Sects increased.
From struggling to win at first to the victories becoming easier later on, the Fengqing Sect grew continuously stronger.
Finally, a few days ago, they wiped out the deeply rooted Mosha Sect in Qizhou, eliminating a major source of trouble.
Even so, the Right Path forces in Qizhou did not lower their guard.
Whenever a suspicious outsider entered the territory of Qizhou, they would diligently move to neutralize the potential threat.
For example, right now.
The Fengshen Litter was flying over Qizhou, but dozens of righteous practitioners had gathered on the ground, chasing after the flying chariot.
“Those on the flying chariot, listen up! Descend immediately for questioning! If you persist in your course, we will have to resort to extraordinary means!!”
They ran.
When these words traveled from the ground to the air behind them, Yu Yi and the other two finally noticed that so many people were following them.
“Big Sister, when did these people appear? I didn’t notice them at all…”
Yun Qianxue looked down at the ground, watching the practitioners desperately trying to catch up, and asked Yu Yi,
“They seem to have mistaken us for enemies. Should we go down and explain?”
“Their voices were too faint; I only heard them just now. Besides, how do you plan to explain things to them? Tell them we come from Among the Colorful Clouds?”
Su Cheng waved her hand and said,
“Let them keep chasing. Such an opportunity to train their physical stamina doesn’t come often. They should be thanking us instead.”
“But this feeling of being treated as an enemy is really— “
Before Yun Qianxue could finish her sentence, three black dots suddenly appeared in her field of vision, flying toward the Fengshen Litter at extreme speed.
Yun Qianxue soon saw clearly that they were sharp arrows shot from the ground!
“Is this their extraordinary means?”
Su Cheng also noticed the sharp arrows and spoke dismissively.
Just as the words left her mouth, the arrows actually penetrated the Wind Field surrounding the Fengshen Litter and shot straight toward Yun Qianxue!
At the critical moment, Yu Yi, who had been resting with her eyes closed, acted decisively.
She accurately caught the sharp arrows and crushed them into powder in her hand.
“Good archery,” Yu Yi said calmly, opening her eyes.
The Wind Field surrounding the Fengshen Litter was equivalent to an all-encompassing Defensive Barrier, capable of blocking all flying objects from the outside world.
However, the arrows shot from the ground just now were able to penetrate the Wind Field and almost injured Yun Qianxue!
This was enough to show that the person who shot the arrows was by no means an ordinary individual.
Suddenly, in the next second, more and more sharp arrows shot up from the ground.
Yu Yi pulled Yun Qianxue toward her by the shoulder, letting her lean against her, and said,
“Be careful. Don’t expose yourself to them.”
Yun Qianxue’s skin touched Yu Yi’s, and she smelled a faint fragrance from her.
Her face instantly flushed red as she nodded and responded softly, “Yes… Big Sister.”
Yu Yi did not make a move.
As a [Heavenly Rank] treasure, the Fengshen Litter naturally had its own unique capabilities.
After the surrounding Wind Field was breached for the first time, the Fengshen Litter automatically activated its second stage.
The speed of the surging Wind Field increased, and although the incoming arrows could still fly toward the chariot against the gale, they could no longer get close to Yu Yi and the others.
Meanwhile, on the ground.
The group of righteous practitioners grew increasingly anxious as they saw the flying chariot continue forward as if unaffected.
Their eyes focused on one person as they asked,
“Big Sis! What should we do? If we can’t stop them here, they’ll reach the town!”
The one they called Big Sis was a valiant woman with shoulder-length short hair.
Her eyes were as bright as stars, and her expression was calm and composed.
She drew ten arrows from her quiver at once and notched them on her bowstring.
“Then we will continue to find a way to stop them.”
But just as she drew the bow to its full extent, she suddenly discovered that the flying chariot in the sky had turned around and was heading toward them.
“Big Sis! Are they… are they planning to fight back!?”
“Form up! Prepare to defend!!”
The righteous practitioners reacted quickly, entering a battle-ready state in an instant.
One had to understand that anyone capable of riding such a flying chariot possessed a status and strength that could not be underestimated!
However, a moment later, the Big Sis’s ten sharp arrows were never shot.
This was because the Fengshen Litter, surrounded by the gale, had slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of her.
The practitioners on the ground immediately grew tense and held their breath.
Everyone’s weapons were ready to strike.
When Yu Yi slowly stepped down from the chariot, the surrounding practitioners, regardless of gender, all stared blankly.
Yu Yi’s beauty was stunning enough to shock the world.
Previously, when she went out, she had chosen extremely ordinary plain clothes because she was not used to wearing female attire, which had dimmed some of her radiance.
But ever since Yun Qianxue joined Among the Colorful Clouds and purchased high-quality fine clothing for everyone, Yu Yi’s beauty had reached a brand-new height under the complement of her attire.
The saying that clothes make the person was not just empty words.
“The one who shot the arrows just now was you, right?”
Yu Yi asked indifferently, her gaze locked on the short-haired woman holding the bow and arrows.
The short-haired woman did not respond.
Her gaze was not drawn by Yu Yi’s beauty but was instead fixed on the Sword Casket carried on Su Cheng’s back.
“Such Sword Intent… Is that the Sword Emperor’s Sword Casket?”
A flash of astonishment crossed the short-haired woman’s eyes. She then cupped her fists toward Yu Yi and said,
“The Fengqing Sect did not intend to offend you all. We were simply following orders. I hope you can understand.”
The other practitioners also realized the situation at this moment.
These three people actually came from the Sword Pavilion!?
In an instant, their attitudes shifted from hostility to respect.
They performed a salute to Yu Yi and her companions in unison.
“Oh? This is quite a coincidence. So they are disciples of the Fengqing Sect.”
Yu Yi arched an eyebrow and then thought silently to herself:
‘The Sword Pavilion has been silent for many years, yet its influence among the Right Path hasn’t diminished in the slightest. It’s still so highly respected.’
Being mistaken for members of the Sword Pavilion by these people was within Yu Yi’s expectations.
If they visited in their capacity as the Demonesses of Among the Colorful Clouds, it would definitely cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Since they had to fabricate an identity anyway to dispel the concerns of these righteous practitioners, why not utilize the Sword Emperor’s Sword Casket and directly borrow the identity of the Sword Pavilion?
However, just as the “misunderstanding” between the two sides was being cleared, Su Cheng said in a low voice:
“Have you misunderstood something? Even if someone possesses an item from the Sword Pavilion, it doesn’t necessarily mean we are people of the Sword Pavilion.”
