re was no need for immediate action."Xiaoqiao, Xia Tian, you three go back first. I’m going to find a place and have some drinks!" Qiao Donghai smiled broadly; he was still very excited at the moment....Chapter 1346: Old Acquaintances from the Immortal Sect
In the Divine Cloud Continent, no one has ever managed to improve their cultivation by so much in such a short period of time. Even someone with exceptional talent like Moon Qingya, who was hailed as the most outstanding disciple among the thousand years' worth of disciples at the Immortal Sect, couldn't achieve this feat. It was precisely because of this that Huang Jingyi had underestimated her opponent, and due to her underestimation, she suffered an irreversible defeat.
Ye Yumei took full advantage of Huang Jingyi's overconfidence. When she first extended her palm, she deliberately held back some of her strength, but at the moment their palms met, she suddenly released all her true energy and severely injured Huang Jingyi. Now, Huang Jingyi was completely unable to defend herself; Ye Yumei could say that she won with ease.
Although it wasn't difficult for Ye Yumei, given her current strength and her familiarity with the Illusory Immortal Sect, to defeat Huang Jingyi, under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t be able to achieve this so easily. After all, there was not such a significant gap in their abilities. However, Ye Yumei was very clear that Huang Jingyi would definitely still think she hadn't reached the Core Formation stage yet, as no one could have anticipated her sudden leap in strength.
As she looked at the fallen Huang Jingyi, Ye Yumei couldn’t help but recall Xia Tian. Although she hated that little scoundrel very much, she also had to admit how superb his medical skills were; without them, even if she returned to the Divine Cloud Continent and found a highly accomplished cultivator to treat her injuries, it would be impossible for her to recover so quickly and improve in strength.
"I never expected your wounds hadn't fully healed yet," Ye Yumei coldly looked at Huang Jingyi. Clearly, Huang Jingyi’s crushing defeat wasn’t just due to underestimating her abilities but also because of the injuries she sustained a few days ago that had yet to heal properly; this came as quite a surprise to her. Xia Tian merely used a single acupuncture needle on Huang Jingyi, and she was already so badly injured
"You are just as despicable as Xia Tian!" Huang Jingyi angrily glared at Ye Yumei. "Truly worthy of being an adulterous couple!"
"Slap!" Ye Yumei slapped Huang Jingyi across the face fiercely. Her pretty face was cold, and her tone was abnormally icy: "Don’t associate me with him!"
Before Huang Jingyi could speak, Ye Yumei struck her again, knocking her unconscious. Then a black ribbon shot out to wrap around her, and in the next second, she carried Huang Jingyi through the window.
The swift end of Ye Yumei’s battle with Huang Jingyi, combined with the lack of commotion, meant that despite it being daytime, no one had really noticed. Furthermore, because Ye Yumei was flying too quickly in the air, even the national security agents still watching from the shadows failed to detect anything amiss.
Ye Yumei was currently still flying through the sky rapidly and only landed on a mountain peak after about ten minutes of flight. The location she had chosen was actually outside Yue Nan City, in the nearby mountains. This unnamed mountain peak naturally wouldn’t have anyone around at this time when it was getting dark; for Ye Yumei, this place would be perfect to interrogate Huang Jingyi.
Ye Yumei casually threw Huang Jingyi onto the ground and quickly pointed a finger at her body. As she hit the floor, Huang Jingyi also regained consciousness.
The phrase "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of it" described how circumstances could change dramatically but sometimes too swiftly. Just in these few days, the roles between them had completely reversed. A few nights ago on Sky God Peak, Ye Yumei was the one being thrown to the ground like a lamb awaiting slaughter; now Huang Jingyi was in that position.
"Huang Jingyi, you have two choices: die quickly or slowly. If you want to die quickly and painlessly, then answer my questions truthfully!" Ye Yumei coldly looked at Huang Jingyi.
"What do you want to know" Huang Jingyi was surprisingly calm at this moment.
Night Yu Mei asked coldly, "How many people from the Ethereal Immortal Gate came this time"
"Twelve," Huang Jingyi answered plainly.
"Where are the others" Night Yu Mei continued to ask.
"I don't know." Huang Jingyi still replied straightforwardly, as if she had no intention of hiding anything.
Night Yu Mei snorted coldly and said, "How can you not know You'd better not force me to use means against you!"
"Night Yu Mei, no matter what methods you use, they won't work. We divided into four groups of three, and nobody knew where we would end up until we left the formation array." Huang Jingyi said coolly: "I hope to know where they are too, but if I did, how could you have a chance to survive"
"Four groups" Night Yu Mei's expression changed slightly. "Does this mean that in Yuenan City, you have three people there"
“I didn’t say each group has exactly three people.” Huang Jingyi said indifferently: “But what you said isn’t wrong. There are indeed three of us in Yuenan City, and I believe they will find you soon.”
"Apart from White Cloud Mountain, who else is there" Night Yu Mei asked coldly.
Huang Jingyi didn't speak, but her expression turned strange. Suddenly sensing something amiss, Night Yu Mei shot out the black ribbon and used it to lift Huang Jingyi off the ground. Then she suddenly spun around, looking into the air not far from them where a shadow was rapidly approaching.
Almost instantly, a green-robed man appeared on the mountain peak, standing ten meters away from Night Yu Mei.
This was a rather thin and slim green-robed man in his early thirties with an average appearance that could not be considered handsome. Yet standing there, he exuded an extraordinary aura that made ordinary people subconsciously want to pay homage to him. The most noticeable feature about him, however, were his eyes—deep-set eyes that seemed able to see through everything in the world.
Now, however, his eyes held a peculiar glint. Looking at Night Yu Mei, he appeared surprised but mostly delighted, with an admiring tinge mixed within the joy.
"It's been twenty years, and Fairy of the Night has become even more enchanting than before. This is indeed a joyous occasion." The man in the green robe finally spoke up, his tone clearly filled with genuine delight as well as a sense of nostalgia.
"Han Mingfei, it’s you!" Ye Yumei's voice remained cold and aloof, but there was also an unmistakable tinge of surprise. Clearly, she hadn't expected to run into an acquaintance from twenty years ago in this place.
"Fairy of the Night, I am truly delighted to see that you are still alive." Han Mingfei gave a slight smile and then shifted his tone, "Given that Fairy of the Night is still alive, shouldn't Sister Qingya also be safe"
"Whether she’s well or not has nothing to do with me," Ye Yumei's tone remained cold. Clearly, although she was seeing an old acquaintance again, it did not make her happy; in fact, at the moment, she was resenting Xia Tian for his pessimistic predictions. She really hadn’t expected that there would actually be a Green Robed Immortal Gate disciple here, and what made Ye Yumei even more anxious was that Han Mingfei had already been a late-stage Core Formation expert twenty years ago, whereas now, although she couldn't determine Han Mingfei's cultivation level, she could sense that he was at least as strong as her, if not stronger!
"Fairy of the Night, we have been in this strange world for some time now. However, Sister Huang and Brother Bai and I have always acted separately. Therefore, I’m not aware whether there's any misunderstanding between you and Sister Huang. But I hope you understand that our purpose here is to find Sister Qingya; as for other grudges, we don't wish to pursue them." Han Mingfei spoke slowly with a sincere expression, "Here, I ask Fairy of the Night to grant me some face and release Sister Huang. Also, if Fairy of the Night knows where Sister Qingya is, please tell me; Master has missed her dearly for these twenty years."
"Misunderstanding" Ye Yumei snorted with a cold laugh, "Han Mingfei, are you telling me that Immortal Gate's massacre of my Sun and Moon Immortal Gate’s thousands of disciples was all a lie"
Han Mingfei sighed softly, "Fairy of the Night, it seems Sister Huang has already told you about this matter. However, that was grudge between sects; I believe you should understand that, in reality, you can be considered half an Immortal Gate disciple as well. Even though Sun and Moon Immortal Gate no longer exists, if you and Sister Qingya return to the Cloudy Heaven Continent together, I’m sure you will become an indispensable part of Immortal Gate."
"Han Mingfei, you are still as naive as you were twenty years ago," said Ye Yumei coldly. "I don't want to waste my breath on you. If you want me to release Huang Jingyi, it's simple—tell me where the entrance of the teleportation array that returned to the Immortal Cloud Continent is."
"Xianzi Ye, before we find Junior Sister Qingya, I won't be able to tell you this," Han Mingfei shook his head. "I don’t want to lie to you either. The truth is, even if I told you, it wouldn't help because that isn't an array formation that can be activated here."
After a brief pause, Han Mingfei continued, "Xianzi Ye, in fact, if you really want to go back, it's quite simple. If you help us find Junior Sister Qingya, we can all return together to the Immortal Cloud Continent."
"I have never put my fate in anyone else’s hands!" said Ye Yumei coldly. "You just need to tell me where the array is located; how to activate it is my concern and doesn’t need your help!"
Han Mingfei shook his head, speaking calmly but firmly, "Xianzi Ye, I still can't tell you because I'm afraid that you might accidentally destroy the teleportation array."
"Since that's the case, then let me continue questioning Huang Jingyi," said Ye Yumei in an increasingly cold tone.
"Xianzi Ye, Junior Sister Huang is injured. I hope you can hand her over to me. Her injuries are severe and need immediate treatment," Han Mingfei spoke slowly.e feel tranquil.Prince Abiez spoke up at this moment.
