Chapter 1964: Sound Attack
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Xu Yu was actually depressed. When he was in the Ghost Realm, his plan had run into difficulties. In order to atone for it, he thought of coming to look for a type of medicine that Xiao He had always wanted, the Pure Snow Lotus.
Because they had a guide, the journey here had been smooth and nobody had discovered them. They didn’t expect that they would be attacked again and again after arriving here. Furthermore, these people had come so quickly. It was as if they had been camping nearby.
“Commander, there are more people coming!” The guard on duty cried out.
Xu Yu glared at the person who was guiding them and his gaze was cold, “You have one day. Get those people off our tail, or don’t even think about staying alive.”
“Yes- yes.” The person felt a chill after being stared down as he hurriedly replied, “Let’s go that way.”
It seemed like he had to bring forth his true skill in order to stay alive.
However, they had not managed to walk out of this place even after seven to eight days. These guys seemed to have received some piece of intel, such that they were found no matter where they hid . It was like… there was really a spy among them.
However, they had checked and none of them were suspicious. They went through it over and over again, but they had eliminated everyone.
Since it wasn’t an issue with themselves, then what was going on?
Unable to figure this out, everyone felt suffocated. They put all of this blame on the person guiding them and felt like he didn’t take them on a good route. There was one that Xu Yu almost killed him out of rage, but his guards eventually advised him not to.
They were doing just fine before, and they had to give him some credit. They were also unfamiliar with this place where he lived. If they killed him, then it would be even more difficult later on.
Xu Yu was furious with nowhere to vent, and he could only randomly vent. It was too bad that he was simply too powerful and levelled the entire half of a mountain, which attracted the people nearby. They then had no choice but to escape nonstop.
Meanwhile, Sima You Yue was in jail and laughed until her belly ached when she received the news.
Who would have thought that the unlucky ones would be Xu Yu and his subordinates. She had gotten her scarlet bees to follow them, and once they found them, they would leave a trail to make it so they were chased endlessly. However, these people were really so powerful. They had actually dragged it on for so many days, which allowed their wounds to recover almost fully. She was also almost done with refining the ancient battle souls in her Hundred Ghost Banner.
Yan Ya secretly pitied Xu Yu. This guy had power, good strategy and insight. He had a high reputation as a commander. It was a pity that he had met Sima You Yue.
Back at Immortal Hex City, Di Zhe had used him and the situation as a reference, so he was naturally aware of what happened. He naturally knew what Xu Yu’s plan was as well.
The situation at Immortal Hex City and here both faced an abrupt end because of Sima You Yue. You could even say that she was his nemesis!
Fei Yi had a good relationship with Yan Ya. Naturally, he had also heard that Sima You Yue had foiled Xu Yu’s plan. On the surface, it looked like Di Zhe was the one who had done it, but Xu Yu and the others knew that she was the real perpetrator.
Thinking about how they had fought with her in the beginning, it seemed like they had come off worse in the exchange. This woman was young, but she was shocking. If you were talking about power, she had power. To talk about backing, she had it, brains too. She also had so many underworld beasts and so many quality items. Her luck was exceptional as well. To make an enemy out of someone like her was someone only someone stupid would do.
It was no wonder she had left the human realm at such a young age. She was just too lucky.
These were speculations on his part, based on what he saw. If he only knew about what she had done all those years before, he probably wouldn’t just call her an evil doer, he would just cry out with injustice.
“Since we’re almost fully recovered, it’s almost time to leave.” Sima You Yue said, “Let’s make the most of this time when they’re not here yet to find something to do.”
Everyone looked at her with no idea what she was talking about.
Sima You Yue smiled at Yan Ya, saying, “Have you thought about the situation I talked to you about before?”
“Is there really anyone who asks for a repayment in kindness in this way like you do?” Yan Ya said, this was close to telling her directly that she was too shameless.
“A kindness done in this lifetime should be repaid in this lifetime. Once we split up, it will be difficult for us to see each other again, much less talk about repaying the favour. Look, you’re a cultivator. If you form an internal demon because you couldn’t repay me, what would you do if it influenced your cultivation? I’m doing this for your own good as well.” Sima You Yue didn’t feel any shame from speaking this way at all.
Yan Ya pursed his lips, “So you’re saying that I should even be thankful for your considerations?”
“I don’t need your thanks, just tell me about your sound attacks.”
Yan Ya: “…”
Fei Yi saw Yan Ya furrow his eyebrows and look pitifully at him.
She was right, Yan Ya was someone who did not like to owe anyone anything. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told Master Xie Hun about the ancient battle souls just because he owed him. Although she was asking him for this, they wouldn’t know it if he was unwilling to tell them. They had even brought him into their little realm.
Now that he owed her such a huge favour, he had actually already decided. However, because of her identity, he couldn’t make this decision so easily.
“Actually, it’s not impossible for me to give you a few pointers.” Yan Ya siad, “But the essence of my sect is not something that I can explain clearly in just two or three sessions. Even if you joined my sect and I taught you personally, you wouldn’t be able to learn anything.
“That’s no problem, I’ll just learn whatever I can.” Sima You Yue was not greedy. It was just that she had seen how powerful his type of sound attacks were in comparison to the ones she had seen before and was curious. If she was able to learn it, then she would. If she couldn’t then she wouldn’t force it.
“Do you know how to play any instruments?”
“Yes, the bamboo flute, guzheng and vertical flute.”
Yan Ya set up a soundproof barrier and said, “Play a little for me.”
Sima You Yue took out a bamboo flute and played a few notes. As Yan Ya listened, he nodded, saying, “Your fingers are skilled. It looks like I do not have to teach you the basics. In this case, I’ll just teach you the arts of my Music Sect. How much you can learn depends on you.”
“Alright.”
Yan Ya spoke very seriously. Although he merely thought of giving her a few pointers, he would never do anything half-heartedly.
Sima You Yue was very serious as well when she heard him. She had thought that Yan Ya would skimp while teaching her, but she didn’t expect that he would teach her so seriously. Hence, she learnt it properly and practiced according to his teachings for a day and actually managed to learn it.
Yan Ya saw that she had managed to play an entire attack, and although she was not very adept at it yet, the fact that she managed to do it in a single day showed that her talent was exceptional.
It was no wonder that she learnt so many skills. She had this kind of talent. It was impossible not to be in awe of her!
In order to avoid owing her anything, he spent the next few days filling her head with the tricks of the trade. Sima You Yue learnt them all and, although she was unable to do those very complex attacks, what she would have in the future was time to practice this art.
At this moment, she still did not know that Yan Ya’s sound attacks were the most powerful in the Enchanted Music Sect, which meant that she was also under his branch now. By learning this skill from him, she was now under his brand.
“Someone is here.” Wu Lingyu warned them, and Yan Ya dispelled the barrier.
After waiting for a few tens of days, these people had finally remembered about them.
