We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? Chapter 636: Take This Assassin Away! I Shall Interrogate Her Thoroughly!

The northern region of the Zhou Kingdom.

Luo Yang and his wife continued searching for a blessed cave-heaven suitable for establishing a sect.

Only, finding a truly suitable location proved no easy task.

Moreover, Luo Yang's own requirements were rather demanding.

The sect he intended to establish needed to support the cultivation of at least three thousand sword cultivators and so, over this period, Luo Yang had expended considerable effort, traveling across countless mountains and rivers but Luo Yang never gave up, believing firmly that the Zhou Kingdom surely held such a blessed cave-heaven somewhere, feeling it was merely a matter of time before he found it.

After all, over these years, the spiritual energy throughout the world had grown ever richer, giving rise to no small number of newly formed sites rich in spiritual energy.

Not to mention that the Zhou Kingdom's own fortune of mountains and rivers had grown ever richer as well, surely favored all the more by Heaven's Dao.

Sure enough, within these past few days, Luo Yang and his wife arrived at a place called Chuanshui County and thirty li beyond the county seat of Chuanshui County, Luo Yang found a mountain range.

This mountain range was rich in spiritual energy, growing ever richer with each passing day, clearly a newly formed blessed cave-heaven.

Moreover, the terrain here proved excellent, extraordinarily favorable for establishing a sect-protecting formation array.

Beyond this, though this mountain range was situated remotely and quietly, it was not too far from the mortal county seat, making it convenient for disciples to descend the mountain for worldly training.

"This will do, then." Having surveyed this mountain range two or three times, Luo Yang finally confirmed it, saying to his wife Wang Yue, “What does my wife think?"

"Mm, this place truly is excellent." Wang Yue nodded in agreement. "From this day forward, my husband will be a sect master."

"Ha ha ha... then my wife shall be the sect master's own lady." Luo Yang smiled. "Since we've decided, I'll write a letter to my junior fellow disciple shortly, telling him the sect's location. I imagine we'll need to ask the nearby county governor to help bring in some skilled craftsmen as well."

"I believe Master Xiao will be quite delighted to hear the news." Wang Yue answered gently but before long, Wang Yue seemed to recall something, raising her head, asking with puzzlement, “Husband... that letter the ruler of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom asked you to deliver to Master Xiao... are you truly not going to give it to him?"

"There's no need for that, for now." Luo Yang shook his head. "Junior brother currently remembers nothing at all, and he's living quite well as it is. Why should I add needless worry to his life? And besides, even if junior brother learned of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom's affairs, what could he possibly do about it, given his current cultivation level?"

"..." Wang Yue lowered her eyes gently.

She felt this reasoning made sense, indeed.

But... something still felt not quite right about it...

"Let's wait a bit longer..."

Luo Yang let out a soft sigh.

"At the very least, until junior brother's cultivation level has risen further, until he can better bear such news. Otherwise, if you were junior brother, wife, a mortal emperor of only Dragon Gate realm cultivation, learning that you had offended an Ascension realm ruler of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom, how would you feel?"

"As for my promise to deliver that letter for the ruler, I haven't broken my word. I will deliver it. I simply never said exactly when."

"Ha ha ha..." Wang Yue laughed softly, covering her mouth. "My husband really has... grown less rigid than before."

"Have I? Wasn't I always like this before?"

Luo Yang smiled as well.

"Never mind, let's not dwell on this."

Luo Yang extended a finger, pointing ahead.

"In the future, this spot will hold the sect's main hall. Over there, I intend to build a sword-washing pool. And that peak there, we'll set up a hall of law and punishment."

"I've heard the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has a Sword Forest and a Sword-Intent Peak. We'll build something similar."

"But our sect won't be a traditional sword sect. I intend to establish a hall of learning as well."

"For sword cultivators, the sword must be sharp, but one must also understand principle. Think three times before drawing your sword, and after those three thoughts, act without further hesitation. Every cultivator must read and study, understanding why they draw their sword, when to draw it, and when to sheathe it once more."

"Mm, mm, mm, whatever my husband decides is fine." Wang Yue watched her husband's spirited, animated expression, feeling delighted as well. "So, husband, what shall we name this sword sect of ours, going forward?"

"What to name it..."

Luo Yang thought it over carefully, then spoke slowly.

"Let's call it the Ink Sect."

"Thousands of years ago, junior brother saved both our lives."

"Today, my wife and I repay him with this sect."

"The Ink Sect shall become junior brother's sharpest blade, and the Zhou Kingdom's sturdiest shield as well."

…

The Great Zhou imperial palace, the plaza before the imperial study.

Yu Yunwei looked at the woman before her, cold sweat breaking out across her forehead, her mind sharpening at once.

Yu Yunwei could sense, quite clearly, that the other party's cultivation level far exceeded her own!

"How could an Ascension realm cultivator possibly be within this palace?"

Confusion filled Yu Yunwei's heart.

She genuinely could not fathom why an Ascension realm cultivator would appear within this palace, let alone as her own senior brother's consort.

"This is my senior brother. Wherever I take him is none of your concern."

Yu Yunwei's brow furrowed, showing not the slightest sign of backing down.

Though she herself was merely at the peak of the Immortal realm, this was, in truth, simply the particular nature of her own cultivation technique.

Over these years, she had deliberately suppressed her own cultivation level, hoping to eventually reach not only the Ascension realm, but even that legendary third realm beyond!

She had already fought Ascension realm cultivators of the early stage to a standstill before.

She was not necessarily incapable of defeating the woman before her and besides, if she truly intended to leave, could this woman possibly stop her?!

"This happens to be this concubine's own husband, miss. What concern is it of yours?" Qin Siyao still wore her smile, though the spiritual energy radiating around her grew ever less benign. "Should miss be willing to leave now, out of regard for my husband's face, this concubine could overlook this entirely, and spare miss's life."

"Heh!"

Yu Yunwei laughed coldly, saying nothing more, vanishing instantly from before Qin Siyao.

Qin Siyao glanced to the side, and saw Yu Yunwei, wielding a blood-red Tang-style saber, swinging it toward her throat.

This Tang saber, named Bloodmoon, had once been Xue Kui's own life-bound blade, a half-immortal weapon, but over these years, Yu Yunwei had reforged it, expending countless natural treasures and considerable labor, eventually transforming it into a true immortal weapon yet the immortal weapon in Yu Yunwei's hand stopped short at Qin Siyao's throat, unable to advance even an inch further.

Qin Siyao swept her fragrant sleeve, golden dragon-aura scattering Yu Yunwei backward.

"Fortune of mountains and rivers?"

Yu Yunwei could not help but freeze.

The fortune of mountains and rivers should only ever bless a ruling emperor, yet the other party, clearly a mere consort, could wield it herself!

Yu Yunwei had never before witnessed anyone use the fortune of mountains and rivers in actual combat.

Under normal circumstances, even an emperor using this fortune could only shield themselves, never harm an enemy directly, could they?

"Who exactly are you?!"

Yu Yunwei steadied herself, gazing coldly at the other party.

"How impolite of miss to ask that. You should call me sister-in-law instead."

With these words, Qin Siyao stepped forward.

In an instant, golden dragon-aura enveloped the entire plaza, forming a barrier of shimmering white light.

This barrier resembled a sword cultivator's own sword-domain, like a small world unto itself.

In this way, Qin Siyao could unleash her full strength without restraint, no longer worried that the aftershocks of their battle might flatten the entire Zhou Kingdom's capital.

Qin Siyao raised her right hand, her sleeve sliding back, revealing a fair, delicate arm.

She pressed downward gently.

A golden mountain condensed above the barrier, descending toward Yu Yunwei.

Yu Yunwei showed not the slightest fear.

She leapt into the air, swinging her blade once more, splitting that golden mountain cleanly in two and just as Yu Yunwei flew out from between the two halves of the mountain, she struck once more, slashing toward Qin Siyao.

The blood-red blade-qi was overwhelmingly fierce, as though it might shatter this very barrier apart but Qin Siyao simply extended her palm, effortlessly scattering that blood-red blade-qi aside.

"The Blood Demon Sword Formula, this must be the blade technique my husband learned before. Truly fierce indeed." Qin Siyao said with a smile. "But sadly, it's not particularly suited for young women to cultivate. Not very elegant."

As she spoke, Qin Siyao channeled the fortune of mountains and rivers, condensing nine golden dragons within the air.

"ROAR!"

The golden dragons roared toward the heavens, then dove together at Yu Yunwei.

Yu Yunwei gripped her immortal weapon, and with every stroke, one golden dragon was severed in two.

It was as though Yu Yunwei held an ink brush, dipped in cinnabar, sweeping across the heavens, splashing crimson everywhere yet Qin Siyao remained perfectly composed, standing exactly where she was, not moving a single step.

To Qin Siyao's mind, the other party was simply struggling pointlessly but the next instant, Qin Siyao's expression froze slightly, her consciousness growing somewhat hazy.

By the time Qin Siyao came back to herself, she found herself bound with red rope to a pillar.

Yu Yunwei, like an executioner, gripped her Tang saber, swinging it once more toward her throat.

"Being able to draw me into an illusion, that's genuinely impressive."

The corners of Qin Siyao's mouth curved upward slightly.

Setting aside the entire major realm gap between them.

As a being possessing a body that comprehends all of ancient knowledge from birth, Qin Siyao's soul strength was extraordinarily powerful.

To Qin Siyao's mind, even had their cultivation levels been reversed, she should never have fallen into an illusion at all.

It could only be said that the other party genuinely possessed talent in this particular area.

Unfortunately, her opponent had chosen the wrong target.

In an instant, the illusion shattered.

Yu Yunwei suffered the backlash, a sweetness rising in her throat, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"Since you are my husband's junior fellow disciple, then as your sister-in-law, I ought to give you a proper lesson, or else I, as your elder, would be failing in my duty."

Qin Siyao crouched down, tying a knot in her skirt hem, then rolling up her sleeves.

Watching the woman before her finish these preparations, Yu Yunwei saw a long spear materialize in her hand.

Qin Siyao stepped forward, her immortal weapon, the Ten Fierce Spear, transforming into a streak of cold light, thrusting toward Yu Yunwei's vital point.

Yu Yunwei's heart lurched, and she hurried to block.

The clash of two immortal weapons unleashed waves of violent spiritual energy.

Yu Yunwei felt the Blood Demon Sword Formula was already fierce enough, but this woman's spearmanship proved utterly masterful, every move appearing plain and unadorned, yet extraordinarily lethal, her assault lightning-fast. Yu Yunwei found herself forced into purely defensive posture.

Within fifty exchanges, Yu Yunwei's grip on her blood saber had already grown numb.

Within the plaza, Xue Kui watched Sister Yu being overwhelmingly outmatched, an utterly wretched sight. She wanted to help, but found herself unable to move even a step.

"No! I mustn't drag this out!"

Yu Yunwei thought to herself.

Though she hated to admit it, this woman was unfathomably dangerous, and she could not defeat her right now. She could only retreat from her edge for the time being!

In an instant, Yu Yunwei struck once with her saber, forcing Qin Siyao back.

Right after, Yu Yunwei channeled the Illusion Heaven Art, spotting a weak point within the barrier.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Yunwei struck once more.

The instant a breach opened in the barrier, Yu Yunwei transformed into a streak of light, flying out.

"This is no place to linger. Let's go!"

Yu Yunwei gathered Xue Kui against her waist with one arm, and lifted Xiao Mo with the other, then summoned the "Ten Thousand Li Flowing Light Scroll," intending to leave the Zhou Kingdom's palace.

The Ten Thousand Li Flowing Light Scroll wrapped around the three of them, transforming into a streak of light, flying toward the heavens.

"Sister Sili, look over there!"

Ning Wei, spending time with Sili, raised her hand, pointing toward a certain direction, calling out in astonishment.

Sili turned to look, her small mouth parting slightly.

This was... Yu Yunwei's own magical artifact!

At the same time, within Hongxiu Palace.

Wangxin was in the courtyard, feeding pastries to Little Hundun.

Wangxin gently tossed a pastry in an arc, and Little Hundun would fly over, opening her mouth wide, catching it and gulping it down but before long, Wangxin, sensing something, looked toward a particular direction, her clear eyes filling with astonishment.

"Trying to leave? Not that easily."

Qin Siyao smiled gently, drawing nine formation banners from her sleeve.

The banners unfurled, instantly settling into nine different directions across the palace.

The nine banners spread out, forming a formation array of their own, entrapping Yu Yunwei entirely.

"Miss might as well come back obediently now."

Qin Siyao flicked her finger gently, and the array began ceaselessly compressing.

With nowhere left to run, Yu Yunwei was eventually driven back to the plaza.

"You!"

Yu Yunwei felt utterly unwilling to accept this but the next instant, a golden rope shot out from Qin Siyao's sleeve, instantly binding Yu Yunwei entirely.

Yu Yunwei struggled ceaselessly, trying to channel her techniques to break free, but not only was it useless, the rope only tightened further with each struggle.

"Stop struggling. This is the Immortal-Binding Rope. Many similar artifacts throughout this world are all imitations, modeled after this very one." Qin Siyao smiled faintly, putting away her spear, undoing the knot at her skirt hem, walking step by step toward Yu Yunwei.

Xue Kui, standing nearby, glanced back and forth between her own Sister Yu and this increasingly close beautiful older sister, clutching her small hands nervously to her chest, standing perfectly still, watching with pleading eyes.

Qin Siyao glanced at Xue Kui.

Xue Kui immediately straightened up, her eyes full of pleading.

That look seemed to say, must I be bound too?

Qin Siyao withdrew her gaze, ignoring Xue Kui, extending her index finger, tapping it gently against the space between Xiao Mo's brows.

The Illusion Heaven Art that Yu Yunwei had cast upon Xiao Mo's soul dissolved.

Xiao Mo's eyes gradually regained their usual color.

The moment his consciousness cleared, he saw Yu Yunwei bound tightly, the rope leaving deep marks across her two full peaks and Qin Siyao gazed at him tenderly.

"Is Imperial Brother all right..." Qin Siyao straightened Xiao Mo's collar, a note of concern showing in her eyes. "It's all this concubine's own negligence, letting an intruder into the palace, giving Imperial Brother such a fright. I ask Imperial Brother's punishment."

"It's fine. Had it not been for my consort, I fear I would have already fallen victim to her scheme."

Xiao Mo shook his head, then looked toward Yu Yunwei and Xue Kui, his brow furrowing.

"Someone, take this assassin away! I shall interrogate her thoroughly!"
