Chapter 148 Returning to the Outer Heavens, Encountering Ambushers
"In that case, you shall come back to the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect with me."
Given her younger sister Yuexi's insistence, Yueyao couldn't refuse any longer and nodded in agreement.
Hearing her sister agree, Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she was also thinking that she must help her sister regain her lost memories and not let her sister have any regrets in her life.
"Sister, I'll go and tell Dongjun. We'll set off in a few days."
"Ah."
…………
Two days later
Yueyao and Yuexi, who were staying in Tianqi City, received a message from other members of the Tianwaitian Sect. The message said that they had successfully persuaded Ye Dingzhi to go to the Tianwaitian Sect with them.
Upon receiving this news, the two naturally joined up with the main force of the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect.
On the road
"Sister, how exactly did Mo Qixuan and Zi Yuji manage to persuade Ye Dingzhi to agree to go to the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect with us?"
While traveling, Yuexi asked her older sister Yueyao a question, and Yueyao, who was being asked, replied to her younger sister Yuexi.
"It's very simple. Ye Dingzhi has a great obsession in his heart, and that obsession is with Yi Wenjun, who has already married Jingyu King Xiao Ruojin."
It's likely that the two of them were telling Ye Dingzhi that if they came with them, they could win back their loved ones, and Ye Dingzhi probably believed that.
"Oh, I see!" Yuexi exclaimed in sudden realization.
Such a person with deep-seated obsessions can indeed easily deceive him by exploiting his own obsessions, since these obsessions have already affected his thinking to a certain extent.
…………
After a few hours,
The two arrived at the main force of the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect and immediately recognized Ye Dingzhi among everyone. At this moment, Ye Dingzhi was quietly leaning against a big tree.
His eyes were filled with regret for his own weakness and hatred for having his beloved taken away by someone else. If he could, he probably would have gone straight to Xiao Ruojin's door and killed her.
"Young Miss, Second Young Miss, shall we set off immediately?"
When Mo Qixuan and Zi Yuji saw Yueyao and Yuexi arrive, they came to their side and respectfully asked them questions.
Yueyao looked at the two of them and thought that she and Yuexi had been traveling for a long time and should rest well before continuing their journey. This was to avoid any unexpected problems that might arise on the way, as their internal energy might not have fully recovered.
"Rest here for a bit, and we'll continue on our way after half an hour. You two should make the necessary arrangements for guard duty."
To avoid problems later.
"Yes, Miss."
The two men replied respectfully and then went to make the arrangements.
Ye Dingzhi, who was sitting under the big tree, also saw what had just happened. He saw the two men being respectful to the two women and heard them calling them "Miss".
Presumably, he was the one who could truly make the decisions, so he stood up and walked towards Yueyao and Yuexi. Seeing Ye Dingzhi's actions, Xiaolian quickly stood in front of Yueyao and Yuexi, drawing her longsword.
I'm worried that this guy might hurt the eldest and second young ladies.
"Xiao Lian, there's no need to be so nervous."
“Young Miss, this is Xiao Lian’s duty. You cannot be in any danger.” Stubborn Xiao Lian ignored Yue Yao’s words and insisted on standing in front of the two of them.
Seeing this, Yueyao said nothing more and let the matter continue.
"Can you make me stronger?"
Ye Dingzhi ignored the stubborn Xiaolian and looked directly at Yueyao and Yuexi, asking them the question that concerned him most. Yueyao nodded in response to Ye Dingzhi's question.
"Our Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect has a technique called the Void Thought Technique. Once you cultivate this technique, your strength will increase by leaps and bounds, and you will be able to succeed in whatever you want to do."
"Virtual meditation?"
The name of this technique felt quite unfamiliar to Ye Dingzhi, but even if it was unfamiliar, it didn't matter, as long as it could improve his strength.
"If my strength is not improved by then, I will not stay in your Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect. I will continue to look for ways to improve my strength."
Ye Dingzhi looked at the two of them and spoke with a very firm tone.
Xiao Lian was displeased to hear Ye Dingzhi speak to the young ladies in such a manner, and directly addressed him:
"How dare you speak to my young lady like that!"
"Xiao Lian, there's no need to get so angry about this."
Seeing Xiaolian like this, Yueyao patted Xiaolian's shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to be so angry about this. At this moment, Xiaolian turned around and looked at the smile on Yueyao's face, no longer stubbornly sticking to her own opinion, nor speaking like she did to Ye Dingzhi.
…………
"who!"
Mo Qixuan, who was holding his sword and focusing on his cultivation, sensed a killing intent and a faint sound. He immediately drew his sword and became alert.
The voice questioned him sternly.
Upon hearing Mo Qixuan's voice, the others quickly became alert and looked around at the situation.
Deep in the woods
Several flying needles flew rapidly, but Mo Qixuan swung his longsword and knocked them away. He then aimed his sword at the direction from which the needles had come, while the others...
While they are on guard,
Those hidden in the woods began launching hidden weapon attacks, and everyone quickly defended themselves, deflecting all the so-called hidden weapons.
this moment
The person in the shadows seized the opportunity and attacked Ye Dingzhi.
"You want my life? Don't even think about it!"
Ye Dingzhi could tell that these people seemed to be coming for him. He wore a cold smile on his face and spoke with confidence and arrogance.
Raise your hand, clench your fist, and parry the opponent's incoming attack.
The force of their fists prevented the opponent's short blade from attacking Ye Dingzhi. Naturally, Yueyao and Yuexi couldn't bear to see anything happen to the person with the innate martial veins they had finally found.
They all turned their attacks on this enemy!
"The Great Sun Tathagata!"
Yueyao used the Great Sun Tathagata to attack the guy, and Yuexi also used the martial arts techniques that her sister Yuexi had taught her, using the same Great Sun Tathagata as Yueyao.
Seeing Yueyao and Yuexi intervene, the enemy retreated without hesitation, whistling as he did so.
The others who were hiding in the shadows also revealed themselves at this time.
“This guy named Ye Dingzhi must die. If you know what’s good for you, leave us now and we can let bygones be bygones.”
An older man in the group looked at Yueyao, Yuexi, and the others, his voice cold and filled with murderous intent. Ye Dingzhi, realizing that this person wanted him dead, could figure out who was behind it all.
"Ha ha!!!"
After laughing, Ye Dingzhi spoke.
"You want my life? No way. You can go back and tell your master that I'll come knocking on your door."
