#834 - Chapter 834 Borrowing Troops

Before Xuan and the Spirit Guard could overthink, Little White roared, his demonic energy erupting, the Eight Directional Demon Halberd appearing in his hand, giving him the air of a demon emperor.

After a day and night of rest, Little White's spiritual power had recovered to fifty or sixty percent, so he was confident that he and Little Mountain could deal with the great monster from another world.

The Eight Directional Demon Halberd unleashed a terrifying aura, its power immense. Xuan could only passively defend. Speaking was painful for him, so to avoid the pain and embarrassment, he decided to fight.

Little Mountain imitated Little White, shouting, "Ah, ah," a couple of times. His small feet stood firmly on the ground in a horse stance, and the azure jade on his chest slowly transformed into a wisp of azure smoke, encircling him before gradually solidifying into an azure sword.

The azure sword was extremely sharp, its sword energy rampant, seeming to slice through the air with "crackling" sounds.

With a gentle point from Little Mountain, the azure sword seemed to receive its master's command, whistling as it pierced towards Xuan, who had no choice but to block it with his own spiritual sword.

Although he was fighting, he didn't dare use his full strength, fearing he might injure them, which would cause Ye Ling to blame him, making things difficult for himself.

Therefore, under the attacks of the Eight Directional Demon Halberd and the azure sword, Xuan and the Spirit Guard were forced back step by step, even nearly being stabbed multiple times.

"Lord Ling, according to scouts, ghost clan figures have been discovered in the weak areas of the boundary between the Immortal Cultivation World and the Other World. It is feared that they have become disloyal."

Hearing this, Ye Ling put away her smiling face, her eyes revealing coldness and ruthlessness. "Then kill them, we must take precautions."

Du nodded in agreement. "The Spirit Guards at the door said that Xuan conquered the territory of the Undead Clan and obtained countless spoils of war, truly worthy of the title of First Spirit Guard."

Hearing Du mention him, Ye Ling seemed to come back to her senses. "Oh, Xuan hasn't come to report to me for several days, I wonder what he's been up to?"

"I'll go find him," she said, transforming into a wisp of purple smoke and flying towards Xuan's palace.

Xuan's palace was located on the east side of the Purple Glow Pavilion. Two majestic small stone lions stood at the entrance. The interior was simply furnished, with a large, empty circular platform filled with wooden stakes and stone benches, used for daily martial arts practice and meditation.

The inner room held a row of tea seats. Seeing this, Ye Ling was slightly surprised, never expecting the black-faced Bao Gong, Xuan, to have such a leisurely side.

Xuan was lying on the bed, the curtains obscuring his face, making it impossible to see his exact appearance and expression.

"Reporting to Lord Ling, Lord Xuan has been lying in bed since he returned, not allowing us servants to approach."

A servant took small steps and whispered in Ye Ling's ear.

Ye Ling thought for a moment and said, "Xuan, what's wrong with you?"

Xuan didn't directly answer Ye Ling's question, but instead asked, "What brings Lord Ling to my palace?"

"Du said that the ghost clan has appeared at the weakest point in the boundary between the Immortal Cultivation World and the Other World, fearing they have ulterior motives, and wants you to lead the Spirit Guard to investigate."

Ye Ling said concisely. This was her style of communication with her subordinates. After exchanging pleasantries, she went straight to the point, without dragging things out.

Unlike when she was in front of Ye Kong, where she first had to admire his handsome face, then act coquettishly to get Ye Kong to cook her a meal, and finally say a few words about business.

"I was injured in this mission, I'm afraid I'll need to rest for a few days and won't be able to lead the troops out for the time being."

Xuan replied calmly. Now he just wanted to send Ye Ling away quickly, not wanting her to see his battered state, which would be too embarrassing.

Ye Ling said "Oh" and then, "Then take good care of yourself, I'll come see you another day!"

With that, she opened her hand, and a flash of light appeared, revealing a black pill in her palm.

She was about to hand it to the servant, but on second thought, she placed it on the table instead. Her thoughts were still more delicate. Xuan's current state of not seeing anyone, could it be that he injured his manhood?

Ye Ling didn't stay long. "Remember to take it, it will be good for your recovery," she said, then transformed into a wisp of purple smoke and disappeared into the sky.

Seeing Ye Ling leave, Xuan then tremblingly climbed out of bed. At this moment, he cried out in pain with every step he took.

After taking the pill, he discovered that it was a top-grade spiritual medicine, a good product for treating injuries, and a warm current immediately surged in his heart.

The pill stayed in his hand for a long time, the heat of his palm almost melting it, before Xuan reluctantly threw it into his mouth.

The spiritual medicine melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a cool stream of air rose in his body, slowly flowing throughout his body, nourishing every wound.

Xuan felt much better, so he limped back to bed and lay down to rest.

He even felt a trace of remorse in his heart, knowing that his behavior was not understood by everyone, but it delayed Ye Ling's progress.

After returning to the main hall, Ye Ling thought again and again. Besides Xuan, there seemed to be no more suitable candidate, but the Spirit Guards of the Purple Glow Pavilion were afraid of only listening to Xuan, so temporarily changing the commander was not appropriate.

So she showed a look of difficulty, "I just went to see Xuan, he doesn't seem to be doing well, he may need to rest for a few days."

In fact, during the short time that Ye Ling was away, Du also heard the Spirit Guards at the door chatting. Xuan took them to逍遥 Peak to find trouble with Ye Kong, and as a result, he returned with a body full of injuries. He was probably beaten at逍遥 Peak.

Although it wouldn't be Ye Kong who took action, it might be those few disciples, or even the gatekeeper beast.

At this moment, hearing Ye Ling's words, Du was even more convinced that what the Spirit Guards said was right. "Lord Ling, I will go to逍遥 Peak."

Ye Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, without speaking, to show her approval.

Inside逍遥 Peak, Ye Kong had just gotten up, yawning as he walked towards the side of the Bitter Sea, sat down with a plop, and took out his small fishing rod to prepare to fish.

He was unaware of what had happened outside the peak gate.

Suddenly, a burst of giggling laughter came from the direction of the peak gate. He glanced lightly and saw Little White and Little Mountain looking smug, and the direction they were returning from was outside the peak.

Instead of properly repairing the spiritual veins, they actually took their junior brother to do bad things. Ye Kong's anger was instantly aroused. His face was as gloomy as water, and he had never been so angry even when facing the invasion of the other world.

"Little White, what did you take Little Mountain to do early in the morning?" His voice contained an unprecedented sternness and anger, startling Little White and Little Mountain for a long time.

"That... Master, you old man are up," Little White touched his head and squeezed out these words.

"Instead of completing your mission properly, all you know is to cause trouble. I think you're just too idle."

"In addition to repairing the spiritual veins of the Star River Sect, sweeping逍遥 Peak is also your job, and also…"

Little White's head was spinning. Things were bad. Repairing the spiritual veins was already half-killing him. At this moment, ten thousand alpacas were flying through his heart.
