Eternal White Works Slowly Cultivating Immortality Volume 1 Chapter 81 Eighty-One: Battle with You

  Xiao Yao's eyelid twitched and her heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that the White Jade Courtyard and the Liu family were after her? Her face remained calm as she replied nonchalantly, "What big deal?"

  "It's said that a certain cultivator from the White Jade Courtyard offended a senior from the Harmonious Dao period. The senior went to the courtyard yesterday to capture him, but fortunately, the cultivator had good luck and left the courtyard one step ahead. Now everyone in the city is discussing this matter."

  Xiao Yao heard this and felt that the matter had nothing to do with her, so she put her mind at ease. However, the female disciple was still reciting: "What's the name of that troublemaker? Ah... I remember! It's Chong Rou!"

  "Cough!"

  Xiao Yao almost bit her own tongue, looking at the female disciple with a shocked expression. The female disciple also noticed something was off and asked in confusion: "What's going on, does Fellow Xiao know this person?"

  Xiao Yao's heart was turbulent, but her face was calm as still water. She said lightly: "We can't be considered acquaintances, but wasn't there a refining tool competition on the Floating Island two years ago? I had the good fortune to watch it, and the winner of that competition seemed to be this person."

  She was probing, the female disciple thought for a moment, her face excited: "Now that you mention it, I remember there is indeed such a person in the city. This person is a famous alchemist, and what's even more unthinkable is that this person is actually a woman, a female alchemist. I've never seen one before."

  Xiao Yao's heart sank to the bottom of an icy lake, and what was even more tragic was that she had no idea when or where she had offended a predecessor in the Cong Dao period.

  Isn't it Zidong?!

  However, she soon vetoed it. Zidong is not a high-profile person, he only likes to hide in the dark and manipulate everything. The newcomer should not be him, but this matter must have nothing to do with him!

  Xiao Yao made a sideways inquiry and learned that the newcomer was an old man with a birthmark on his face, confirming that she didn't know him. The only ones who could stir up trouble for her were fellow cultivators of the same level, so it seemed that this was another surprise from Zidong! She had originally planned to return to Meishan Floating Island after participating in the main island's Refining Equipment Grand Competition, but now she had White Jade Courtyard and Liu Family chasing after her, followed by Zidong's trap. The current situation was worrisome, making her immediately think of leaving this place of trouble. Anyway, she already had the cultivation method in hand, so participating in the Refining Equipment Grand Competition didn't have much value for her. Moreover, she believed that as long as she stayed in Junsen District, troubles would keep coming one after another.

  Everyone knows she's going to the mainland for the Alchemy Competition, and Yu Fu City is already set up with ambushes. It's better to take this opportunity to leave from another city's dock in Di Jun Xing District, let them guard for a lifetime but never catch anyone!

  But which city port would have a hovercraft leaving for Junxian District?

  As she pondered, Xiao Yao's gaze inadvertently swept past Luo Jianying. This person should also know about the matter in Baiyucheng, and even if he heard her report a different name, he didn't expose her. Feeling grateful at the same time, she thought that maybe she could ask him, so she transmitted a sound: "Luo Dao friend, do you know that besides Baiyucheng on Meishan Floating Island, which other cities and counties have had flying ships go to other star regions recently?"

  Ling Jianying quickly replied: "Is Fellow Daoist Chong Rou planning to leave the Jun Xing district and flee to other star districts?"

  It was no surprise that Ling Jianying would be so direct, and since she had chosen to believe him, Xiang Yao also simply said: "Yes."

  Having obtained a positive answer, Rong Jianying didn't ask any more questions and said: "There are four city-states with docks on Meishan Floating Island. Except for Baiyu City, the remaining three are Yufu City, Luochuan City, and Fengqiao County. I suppose you won't choose Yufu City either. As for when there will be ships leaving from the other two cities and counties, it's hard to say. I'll check again after returning to Yujian Mountain Villa."

  Xiao Yao smiled slightly, "Then I'll have to trouble Rong Dao friend, I'm deeply grateful and this kindness will be remembered in my heart."

  The six of them spent two hours crossing the "Fantasy Cloud Sea", although there were some small battles along the way, but no great danger. Six hours later, they finally returned to Meishan Floating Island.

  Fortunately, the Jade Sword Villa was not in the White Jade City. Xiao Yao followed Luo Jianying to the foot of the Jade Sword Villa, but due to her special situation, she did not follow him into the mountain. Instead, she found a secluded forest at the foot of the mountain and waited for news from Luo Jianying.

  Half a day passed and Rong Jianying arrived as scheduled, bringing good news that there were ships heading to other star districts from both Luo Chuan City and Fengqiao County five days later.

  Xiao Yao thanked him again with joy: "Thank you, Lu Dao friend, for your help. I will now set off to these two city-states."

  But Hong Jianying seemed to have something to say and called out: "Wait a moment, fellow Taoist Zhong Rou, I haven't finished speaking yet."

  Xiao Yao was taken aback for a moment, and seeing his serious expression, he asked uneasily, "Isn't there some unexpected change in this?"

  "It's not a trivial matter, but it's not a disaster either." Luo Jianying gazed at her calmly: "Have you ever heard of 'boat tickets', Soft Daoist friend? If one wants to leave the planet by taking a flying boat, just having a ticket is not enough. One also needs this thing, which is also used to prevent wanted criminals from escaping the star district. You see, each star district is independent and does not interfere with each other. Once these fugitives escape their home star district, they are hard to catch again."

  Xiao Yao asked: "Then how can we get the boat guide?"

  Although there were people searching for her everywhere, they were all doing it secretly, so a wanted notice wouldn't appear, and it wasn't too troublesome.

  "There are two ways," said Liu Jianying: "One is to go to the household registration office where you first entered the island, and the other is for your sect or family to issue a letter of introduction."

  At first, Xiao Yao was registered in the household register within the White Jade City, but now she is not possible to return to the White Jade City again. If you want to use the second method, you must find a family or sect to guarantee it. Subconsciously, she looked at Luo Jianying.

  Ling Jianying, although somewhat stubborn, was only so when facing strong opponents, and not a rigid person. He naturally understood the expectation in Xiao Yao's eyes, "Is Fellow Daoist Zhong Rou asking me to have Yu Jian Mountain Villa act as an intermediary?"

  Xiao Yao nodded and interacted with Luo Jianying without beating around the bush, "I don't know if it's convenient for your sect?"

  Ling Jianying didn't say much, only saying "You wait here for a while." In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a rainbow light and disappeared at the foot of the mountain. It seemed like he went back to take care of it directly.

  As expected, he went and came back after a while, and when he returned, he had an extra letter in his hand. After getting off, he didn't say much and handed it to Xiao Yao: "It's done, as long as there is no wanted notice, you won't be bothered by anyone at any dock."

  Xiao Yao held the letter in her hand, with a mix of emotions, and couldn't help but ask him: "I only met you a few times, yet you didn't ask me anything and helped me this far, why?"

  Luo Jianying glanced at her lightly and said calmly, "I respect the strong."

  What a "I respect the strong"! Xiao Yao sighed secretly: His attitude of respecting the strong is probably also derived from his obsession with pursuing the strongest. This child is good at fighting, but has his own principles, never forcing others, even when he needs something from them, he won't take advantage of it to coerce, and doesn't even mention the matter of martial arts, it seems that what he wants is the purest battle, and what he seeks is the purest strength!

  Such a strong and persistent belief moved Xiao Yao's heart, her blood boiling with excitement. She made up her mind and said: "Luo Dao friend, today we part ways, who knows when we'll meet again? You've helped me so much, I don't want to leave you with any regrets. Now, I'm willing to have a battle with you, to fulfill your wishes, what do you think?"

  Ling Jian's eyes lit up, as if it were a sunny day in heaven. "Fellow Taoist, what reason do you have to fight?"

  Xiao Yao smiled, "A man with principles and convictions."

  "Good!" Kuang Jianying's voice was loud and clear, with a hint of satisfaction. He smiled brightly and said: "Thank you, fellow Taoist! I also hope that you will go all out and not hold back."

  Xiao Yao still saw him smile for the first time, and smiled so heartily. It was indeed a great pleasure to fight in his life, and he could also understand his desire to indulge in this battle wholeheartedly. He said: "I will do my best to let Dao friend have fun. However, Dao friend should also understand that sparring is not fighting for one's life, after all, it is different from real bloody battles."

  "I know," said Ling Jianying, with a slight smile on his lips, while the sharp sword behind him was already humming and roaring, echoing the owner's fierce fighting spirit. "In my opinion, the outcome of a battle is not simply determined by life or death, victory or defeat. Any battle, as long as both sides are serious and go all out, is a 'sacred war'!"

  There was no need for further ado, so the two of them chose a secluded spot with few people around and set up a barrier to block out prying eyes.

  Without any words, a loud "clang" was heard, and the battle began with a fierce collision between Charcoal and Red Sky.

  They say that when two people exchange blows, every glance and every move is a conversation. At this moment, both of their eyes revealed a strong desire to fight, which was an intense fighting spirit! However, their bodies did not move, leaving the two magical artifacts in the center to collide more and more fiercely! Each time they clashed, it was as if short swords were crossing, but each time they would stir up countless powerful whirlwinds, forming sharp waves of air that cut through the air within a hundred miles.

  Finally, a magnificent flame tongue descended from the sky, transforming into a ferocious and mighty fire qilin, carrying scorching heat that could incinerate all things, fiercely pouncing forward.

  Xiao Yao took a step back, and the Thunderbolt Crossbow had already been cocked at some point. In an instant, countless arrows were fired, pulling out numerous purple long tails that tightly entwined the galloping Fire Qilin!

  The roar of the Qilin, the tearing sound of the Thunder Arrow still echoed in their ears. As they struggled, the two gradually faded away. Before the yuan force had completely dissipated, a dark red long sword suddenly broke through the chaos. The sword was extremely sharp and its wielder was an expert swordsman. The sword's momentum was fierce, flowing like clouds and water, and in the blink of an eye it had already reached Xiao Yao's heart!

  Engaging in close combat with Wu Zhe is not a wise move! In an instant, Xiao Yao transformed into a winged creature and retreated several meters. As the lightning bolts were released simultaneously, his body's yuanqi continued to condense. A mature sword-toothed leopard appeared out of thin air, avoiding the sword's edge under the cover of the lightning bolts, and attacked the enemy.

  Ling Jianying was also a seasoned warrior, and upon seeing Xiao Yao's ever-changing fierce attacks, he didn't show any fear. Instead, the excitement in his eyes grew brighter, and his battle intent became even stronger! His agile figure darted back and forth amidst the lightning-fast sword strikes, not giving an inch. Not only did he avoid the attacks of the Thunderbolt Sword Tooth Leopard, but he also pressed forward step by step, closing the distance between them. Every time he closed in, Xiao Yao could feel the chill emanating from the sword's edge!

  For the time being, Xiao Yao was at a disadvantage.

  The author has something to say: The long-awaited three thousand words, and finally the two of them started fighting.
