<h4>Chapter 735: Item with a Master</h4>


    Everyone stopped and waited for Chu Liuyue.


    The entire way here, they were almost used to doing this. Whenever they met with something, Chu Liuyue would go and check it out first. After confirming the general problem, they would take action ording to Chu Liuyue’smands.


    In the beginning, some were pretty indignant. After all, Chu Liuyue didn’t look like someone who could handle such things given her slim figure and overly beautiful appearance. But after Chu Liuyue led them to avoid several attacks and continuously found more people, these doubts gradually disappeared.


    All of them followed her obediently.


    As usual, Lei Laosi followed her.


    Chu Liuyue nced at him and smiled. “Big Brother Lei, you don’t have to follow me every time. We’re so close to each other. Even if something really happens, I can handle it.”


    Lei Laosi paused and said with a deep voice, “It’s always good to be safe.”


    Her Highness is capable, but they wouldn’t be called idents if there are idents in this world that we can predict. Back then, Her Highness was only a step away from bing a stage-nine warrior. How formidable was she, but what happened in the end? She was still set up and died in a sea of fire. The Thirteen Yue Guard was too confident in Her Highness at that time, so we let others have a chance to harm her. Now, we definitely won’t allow the same thing to happen twice!


    Chu Liuyue looked at the stubborn Lei Laosi, and her heart felt warm. “Thank you, Big Brother Lei!”


    Lei Laosi coughed unnaturally as he unintentionally lifted his head and saw a few people. It seemed like there were a few youngsters, and the person at the front looked quite familiar…


    “Who is that?”


    Chu Liuyue followed his line of sight, focused, and smiled. Isn’t that the Purple Xiao Sword Sect’s Song Qingnian?


    There were three people beside him, and Yang Qin’er was one of them.


    At this point, Song Qingnian had just shed the roots winding around his body and was about to help the rest when he heard somemotion and immediately turned around alertly. “Who’s there?”


    He first saw Lei Laosi at the front and was secretly shocked. This stranger is very capable!


    He held the sword in his hands tightly.


    Lei Laosi had already recognized Song Qingnian, but at this point, he had to pretend that he didn’t know thetter. He scrutinized Song Qingnian and chuckled. “You don’t have to do this! If I want to attack you, none of you can stop it!”


    Song Qingnian knitted his brows and was about to speak when he saw Chu Liuyue walking over from behind.


    “Big Brother Lei, I know these people. Don’t scare them,” said Chu Liuyue with a smile.


    Lei Laosi grunted lightly and crossed his arms, not having any intentions of helping them. Purple Xiao Sword Sect… I have no interest in saving them!


    “Chu Liuyue? Why are you here?” Song Qingnian was still quite fearful of Lei Laosi, so he even looked at Chu Liuyue with doubts. She looks fine as if she isn’t injured at all. I had to use so many treasures just to forcefully survive until now, but I still look much more disheveled than Chu Liuyue. There must be something wrong with her!


    Chu Liuyue’s gaze swept past the few people in front of her.


    Song Qingnian was still fine—other than a few bloodstains, he wasn’t really injured. After all, as the Purple Xiao Sword Sect’s young master, he definitely would bring quite a few protective treasures with him.


    The others looked more miserable, but Yang Qin’er seemed fine.


    Chu Liuyue suddenly recalled that Song Qingnian seemed to have hugged Yang Qin’er in his arms just now.


    She smiled. “Young Master Song, don’t worry. We just passed by and came over because we heard some noise, but we didn’t expect to meet you. We originally wanted to see if we could help you, but I guess there’s no need for that.”


    Song Qingnian sized Chu Liuyue up suspiciously and tightly furrowed his brows. “Help us? Based on yourself?”


    His words were filled with unconceble contempt.


    Chu Liuyue raised her brows slightly. Nice. Since he already put it this way, why must I purposely stick my hot face to his cold butt?


    “It seems like you don’t think highly of us, Young Master Song. Then, we won’t disturb. Farewell.” Chu Liuyue then swiftly turned around to leave.


    Lei Laosi chuckled and immediately followed her.


    Her Highness’s personality does seem to have changed from before. If it were in the past, Her Highness would definitely talk to Song Qingnian a little more by giving the Purple Xiao Sword Sect face. But now, she just turned around to leave once they had a disagreement. Nice!


    Seeing Chu Liuyue’s group of two really leaving so swiftly, Song Qingnian was dazed. W-what does this mean?


    Seeing the duo’s figures leaving, he knitted his brows and was enraged. How dare a mere Chu Liuyue show me attitude?! My Purple Xiao Sword Sect’s people don’t need anyone’s help, let alone Chu Liuyue’s! What a joke! Does she think that she can act strong just because she brought some unknown strong warrior?


    He retracted his gaze in disgust, pulled Yang Qin’er—who was the nearest to him—up, and then cut away the roots entangled around her.


    “Qin’er, you shouldn’t be this weak. Is there something wrong with your body?” asked Song Qingnian unintentionally.


    Yang Qin’er’s face tensed up, and she instinctively pulled her wrist back.


    As the surroundings were dim, Song Qingnian didn’t see the change in her facial expression.


    “…No. Perhaps I’m tired because of the long journey, and I recently met with a bottleneck in my cultivation, so…”


    Song Qingnian didn’t really suspect anything, so he believed her once he heard that. “It’s fine. With me around, you’ll definitely be safe.”


    Yang Qin’er nced at him with gratitude and kept thanking him.


    As she watched him with a gaze filled with respect and admiration, Song Qingnian felt great and forgot about the Chu Liuyue incident. Then, he took action and nned to pull the remaining two people up.


    “We must leave this hellhole as soon as possible…” Before he could even finish his sentence, a cold wind came from the dark.


    Whoosh!


    An air-piercing sound was heard.


    Numerous thick roots flung over in unison.


    Song Qingnian felt that something was amiss, and he immediately carried Yang Qin’er and dodged to the back.


    With his move, the remaining two that hadn’t been pulled out of the soil were tightly tangled by that root.


    “Save—Ah!” His urgent call for help suddenly stopped.


    Crack!


    The sound of bones cracking could be heard.


    That root directly wound around the duo’s necks and harshly twisted them.


    The duo’s heads wilted in a strange manner, and their eyeballs popped out. Not longter, theypletely stopped breathing.


    Chu Liuyue turned around, and her gaze turned sharp. Then, she went on her toes and immediately flew over.


    At the same time, she flicked her wrist.


    A red fire then manifested into a fire whip, which rapidly wound around the few roots.


    “Tuan Zi!” Chu Liuyue yelled loudly.


    Tuan Zi pped its wings, and a rainbow light flew out to intertwine with the red fire.


    The fire directly went to the roots and spread across.


    …


    “Ah!” The boiling hot temperature caught Shangguan Wan off-guard, and she shrieked.


    A fire flew over.


    Whoosh!


    It went directly past the barrier and headed straight for Shangguan Wan.


    Shangguan Wan instinctively inserted her force into the pure gold armor. However, not only was the pure gold armor not awakened, but it had even rejected her force on the outside.


    Deep shock shed across Shangguan Wan’s eyes. The pure gold armor has an owner!
