Chapter 913: Chapter 913

Near the few bonfires at the valley entrance, Lady Yuji only stayed for a moment before returning to the Spirit Boat.

After all, as a Master, she still holds some authority in the eyes of her disciples.

With her presence here, Li Huachun and others would feel extremely pressured, unable to speak and act freely.

Moreover, earlier by the pond, she had a series of exhilarating battles with Chen Hai, which although satisfying, left her quite exhausted.

If not for this, she wouldn’t have played the pitiable role in front of Chen Hai, begging for mercy incessantly...

On the Spirit Boat, there is a room exclusive to Lady Yuji where she can replenish her energy and rest well after returning.

Outside at the valley entrance, with her disciples guarding it, safety is naturally ensured.

In this mountain region where the valley is located, although the Pan Spider Clan is rampant everywhere, since the Daluo realm Pan Spider died at her hands, the Eight-Armed Pan Spider appearing in this area is scattered and poses no threat to Li Huachun and others.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

In the room inside the Spirit Boat, Lady Yuji had just sat down cross-legged, preparing to rest through meditation when suddenly a knock at the door sounded.

"Master, Junior Sister’s attendant Du Chun has returned."

"He says he has something to report to you!"

With a furrowing brow, Lady Yuji’s half-closed eyes opened, and from outside the room, Li Huachun’s voice timely reached her.

"Du Chun? Let him come in!"

Slightly stunned, Lady Yuji quickly reacted, responding verbally while with a wave of her hand, the originally tightly closed door swung open on its own.

"Lady!" Li Huachun stood just outside the room, while Du Chun, whose bruised and battered face hadn’t fully recovered, entered the room, saluting Lady Yuji respectfully.

"You came back alone? Where’s Ying?" Lady Yuji asked in an expressionless manner, nodding slightly.

She noticed Du Chun’s injuries but did not inquire further.

After all, already aware that the waters of the West Barbarian Mountain territory ran deep, she was mentally prepared for setbacks faced by Shi Qingying and Du Chun.

"Things weren’t going smoothly on Miss Ying’s side."

"She had me return first to inform you that the forces in the West Barbarian Mountain territory far exceed our expectations; subduing this territory under the Demon Palace in one day may not be possible."

"Miss Ying and Wang Hai are still in Black Water Immortal City."

"According to the information we gathered, the attitude of the faction named Black Water Immortal Mountain is crucial in deciding whether this territory will belong to our Demon Palace."

"Miss Ying’s Dao companion, named Chen Hai, is the founder of Black Water Immortal Mountain, but we have yet to see him on this trip."

"Miss Ying stayed in Black Water Immortal City hoping to await his return..."

In front of Lady Yuji, Du Chun was noticeably apprehensive.

As he spoke, he kept his head down.

In his eyes, meeting Lady Yuji’s gaze directly would be disrespectful, a kind of offense that might displease her.

"Stop, what did you just say..."

A trembling Du Chun barely finished speaking before Lady Yuji interrupted him forcefully.

At first, Lady Yuji appeared indifferent, without any unusual expressions.

But in a blink, Lady Yuji’s face turned grim, her expression stern and dark.

Already tense and cautious, Du Chun was terrified by Lady Yuji’s changed demeanor, shivering several times.

It’s often said a woman’s face can change as unpredictably as the weather in March.

When facing Lady Yuji, Du Chun tried to be cautious, yet he couldn’t understand what he said wrong to make Lady Yuji so displeased.

After being scared and dazed for a while, he tentatively explained, "Lady, it’s really not Miss Ying’s fault for failing the task this time."

"The power of Black Water Immortal Mountain is unfathomable, there are at least hundreds of Golden Immortal-level cultivators equal to us, even an old man sweeping the mountain’s entrance is a Daluo Golden Immortal."

"With just the three of us and Miss Ying, we simply cannot overpower Black Water Immortal Mountain by force."

"If we could find Miss Ying’s Dao companion Chen Hai, all problems could naturally be resolved, but the issue is that this person hasn’t shown up..."

Thinking long and hard, Du Chun deduced that Lady Yuji’s sudden anger was likely because they failed to accomplish the task.

Since he began to explain, he naturally had to address this issue and clarify the situation.

"Don’t drag irrelevant matters, I ask you one thing: Is Miss Ying’s Dao companion Chen Hai called Black Water Ancestor by outsiders?" With lips tightly locked, Lady Yuji stared intensely at Du Chun, questioning him.

"Um!" Startled, Du Chun nodded,

Then he added, "That Chen Hai is indeed known as Black Water Ancestor, how come? Lady, do you know this person?"

Receiving a definite answer from Du Chun, Lady Yuji’s beautiful face turned utterly unpleasant.

The matters between her and Chen Hai, she endured quietly.

After all, she knew her strength wasn’t equal to his!

If she couldn’t resist Chen Hai’s advances, she might as well acquiesce and enjoy!

Even so, the idea of sharing a man with her disciple was something Lady Yuji couldn’t accept.

Note, the Demon Palace now enjoyed a commanding presence over the world; as one of the Palace Masters, her status and position were quite clear.

Her man being the Dao companion of her disciple, if such a thing were to spread, how could Lady Yuji maintain her dignity?

At that time, not only would she face disgrace, but even the Demon Palace could become the subject of ridicule.

Du Chun’s resounding statements pierced her heart like sharp blades.

With her mind chaotically disturbed, Lady Yuji remained silent for a while.

She dared not think about any other matters, unwilling to think further. The only thought she could have now was to leave as far as possible, quickly depart from this heart-wrenching place.

"It’s only Golden Dawn Island and hardly affects the grand scheme of my Demon Palace."

"Since Black Water Immortal Mountain is powerful and difficult to deal with, simply don’t engage it!" Check latest chapters at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

"Li Huachun, Du Chun, hurry to Miss Ying’s place and have her return here immediately."

"We are pressed for time, there’s no need to linger here. Once Miss Ying returns, we set off at once, leaving this West Barbarian Mountain territory!"

Suppressing her painful thoughts deep inside, Lady Yuji waved her hand, giving orders to the two before her.
