Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218

"People from the Rainbow Cloud Peak?"

Mo Liuye and Ye Liuxing’s faces changed drastically, they didn’t expect a master from a hidden sect to emerge.

"Identify yourselves, both of you."

Zi Yuan glanced at Mo Liuye and Ye Liuxing, though she could discern their origins from their methods, she didn’t know them personally.

Ye Liuxing squinted his eyes and introduced, "This is my junior brother, Mo Liuye."

"When did the Crescent Star Leap introduce a Mo Liuye out of nowhere?"

Zi Yuan looked at Mo Liuye with curiosity.

"It’s none of your business. Even if you are from the Rainbow Cloud Peak, this is a grudge between us and Tang Ming. On what grounds are you interfering?"

Ye Liuxing squinted, coldly eyeing Zi Yuan, "According to martial arts rules, hidden sects are not to meddle in secular conflicts. You are breaking the rules."

"Hehe, I’m not involving myself in secular grudges; you were bullying my disciple first, so I had to step in."

Zi Yuan laughed lightly, "However, you people from the Netherworld Road have always ignored martial arts rules, bullying ordinary people aside, you dare touch a disciple of the Rainbow Cloud Peak? Do you really think we’re easy to push around?"

Mo Liuye exclaimed in surprise, "Who is your disciple?"

"Xia Wei’er is the disciple I just accepted. Since you are bullying her, naturally, I won’t agree."

Zi Yuan looked at Xia Wei’er and spoke decisively, "Let’s end today’s matter here. I don’t want to fight with you."

"Hmph, Zi Yuan! Even if you are from Rainbow Cloud Peak, you can’t command us to act just by saying so."

Ye Liuxing snorted disdainfully, "Your cultivation is high, but my junior brother and I together may not necessarily lose to you."

"Hehe, is your plan to resolve this through force?"

Zi Yuan squinted, sneering, "If you make a move today, this issue will no longer be personal, and Rainbow Cloud Peak will surely seek retribution from the Netherworld Road later."

"Are you threatening us?"

Ye Liuxing’s face turned cold.

"You may consider it that way."

Zi Yuan nodded, dominantly saying, "And with just the two of you, you might not be my match anyway."

Ye Liuxing snorted, gritting his teeth, "If that girl is your disciple, then take her away; we won’t move against her."

Zi Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Master, I cannot disregard Tang Ming. He is my man, if something happens to him, I wouldn’t live on my own either."

Xia Wei’er clutched Tang Ming, firmly expressing her stance.

Zi Yuan frowned, helplessly looking at Ye Liuxing and Mo Liuye, "You’ve also seen, this boy, though a mere mortal, is my disciple’s boyfriend. Could you give me face and not trouble him?"

"Zi Yuan. Don’t be excessive, I’ve already decided not to trouble that girl for your sake, but I won’t spare that guy who poisoned my junior brother."

Ye Liuxing snorted coldly, Gang Qi surging around him.

Seeing this, Mo Liuye immediately started his cultivation, preparing for battle.

"If that’s the case, then let’s have a showdown."

Zi Yuan sighed, stating calmly, "If I win, you can’t touch this boy for a year, if I lose, you are free to do with him as you please, how about it?"

"Alright, let us brothers experience the prowess of a Rainbow Cloud Peak expert together."

Ye Liuxing agreed without hesitation.

Xia Wei’er looked at Zi Yuan nervously.

"Wei’er, this is all I can do. If I truly lose, don’t blame me."

Zi Yuan didn’t give Xia Wei’er a chance to speak. She was already willing to fight against two Nine-star Martial Artists for this disciple, which was her limit.

Xia Wei’er nodded, determined that if her master lost, she would live and die together with Tang Ming.

Ye Liuxing roared, his body emitted a black energy, forming a reaper phantom wielding a scythe in the air.

Mo Liuye was not willing to be outdone, forming seals with his hands, with a mass of black object manifesting behind him, which was the evil spirit he refined.

Once ready, the two charged at Zi Yuan simultaneously, with the energy entities behind them howling as they initiated their attack.

"Tricks of the wicked."

Zi Yuan snorted disdainfully, lifting her hands and thrusting forward, a vibrant phoenix of energy appeared out of thin air, screeching as it flew towards Mo Liuye and Ye Liuxing.

In an instant, swirling sand and stones erupted, and the trees beside the road were broken, while the car behind Tang Ming flipped over and flew again.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp."

A resounding phoenix cry echoed from nowhere.

The next moment, the evil spirit summoned by Mo Liuye and the energy reaper formed by Ye Liuxing disintegrated, both of their bodies were thrown backward directly.

Ye Liuxing, withstanding the strong Qi, could stabilize himself, but Mo Liuye fell hard on the ground, beginning to vomit blood.

Tang Ming widened his eyes, incredulously watching the exchange of three peerlessly formidable experts.

All along, he thought he was the only one who could perform energy attacks, but now these three experts skipped the flashy means of ordinary cultivators, directly using energy to clash against each other, with the result decided in a flash, it was terrifying.

"You are a Half-step Martial General."

Ye Liuxing, having steadied himself, gazed at Zi Yuan in shock.

Zi Yuan reverted to her elegant demeanor, coldly stating, "If you dare touch this boy within a year, I will take your lives, and Rainbow Cloud Peak will officially declare war on the Netherworld Road, is that understood?"

Ye Liuxing cursed, grabbing Mo Liuye and swiftly left the scene, filled with doubts.

With Zi Yuan’s strength, killing them wasn’t difficult, so why agree to this one-year pact?

Tang Ming’s cultivation had already been destroyed, and even after a year, he would still be a cripple; they wouldn’t need to bother themselves, just any expert could finish him off. It made no sense.

Thinking for a long time, only one possibility surfaced; Zi Yuan didn’t really want to save Tang Ming, and now she was acting only because of Xia Wei’er’s insistence.

In truth, Zi Yuan’s intention was indeed not to save Tang Ming, only after his death could Xia Wei’er focus entirely on her cultivation.

But Xia Wei’er had deep feelings for Tang Ming. If Tang Ming were to die now, not only would Xia Wei’er not follow her, she might even end up suiciding out of grief, causing a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Zi Yuan set this one-year pact, hoping in this year Xia Wei’er would broaden her horizon and give up on the useless Tang Ming. When that time comes, Zi Yuan wouldn’t care about Tang Ming’s fate.

From Zi Yuan’s perspective, everything she did was for Xia Wei’er, having nothing to do with Tang Ming.

"Master, with your strength, why didn’t you just kill them directly?"

Xia Wei’er asked, puzzled, looking at Zi Yuan, "What if they come after Ming again in a year?"
