Blood River [MDZS AU]

24. Group Hunt XI

Hearing Xinghua's loud voice Yifeng immidialty took his fans from within his sleeves and ran inside.

Once there, he saw Xinghua with her sword in hand while aimlessy sladhing around with her eyes closed in an attempt to protect Yuexin.

Yuexin was now lying still on the ground. Seeing her unresponsive state Yifeng immidiatly ran toward her, checking her wrist for both pulse and spiritual energy. The Nie sect's hier paused realising how weak the girl's stream of Yin energy was.

"Flip her over, move aside" he ordered while standing up. The young girl agreed and stood up before flipping the taller girl over, she gasped promting Yifeng to look back.

Yuexin was already bleeding from her Qiqiao*, her pale skin even paler. The Ouyang maiden began to cry and shake as she lifted the older, even leaving her sword behind on the ground.

Yifeng took a deep breath as he looked away from the pair - he composed himself while pouring his spiritual energy into his Lingshu fans.

With a single wave of his right hand the entire area inside the temle was suddenly cleared out of any dark clouds - the room was back to as clear as it had been when they played cleansing earlier.

Ouyang Xinghua observed Yifeng from the sidelines, though she had known since a long time that the young master of the Nie sect was the fifth ranked cultivator of their generation, she had never seen him fight seriously before - seeing him stand there so sternly, and showing his power so easily, she couldn't help but wonder how she could ever live up to the expectations of people, when he was just ranked fifth.

As she watched him, she noticed the amount of spiritual energy that filled the hall with a single move of his. He stood still analyzing the hall, his eyes shining a bright yellow opposed to their usual grey. As he stood analsing he lifted his right habd again, his left behind his back as he stood in an upright posture.

With a strong wave of his arm, a bright yellow followed the movements of his fan. There was a yellow mist left behind after he was done with the huge movemnt.

His eyes still shining yellow, he observed the mist he had left behind sternly. Xinghua was surprised to see the mist had perfectly revealed the orb that had been floating around, now in its full glory it almost gained a form.

Almost as though the orb had realised it had beeb exposed, it quickly floated to the shrine. But just as it tried to escape, Yifeng attacked again.

This time using both his hands, he he cleared a path through the mist, the sheer power of the moving causing the white glowing orb to break apart.

With that he kept both his fans back in his sleeves and summoned his pipa, lingyun*, preparing to play as soon as he got it.

Just then the door burst open.

The sound of a guqin followed the door opening and Xinghua's face was immidiatly relieved.

Yifeng also felt relief, but didn't stop his action, still looking at the shrine, he began to play the Gusu Lan sect's song of destruction on his pipa - many people did not know that the Nie hiers, the twins were rather close to the Lan sect's sect leader despite not having any blood ties. Yifeng more so than Yuèrú.

The reason was none other than the man being the sworn brother of the twin's father, Chifengzun. Yifeng grew closer to him due to his liking towards the soft nature of the Lan clan's musical cultivation opposed to his own clan's saber cultivation.

That was why he knew so many of the Lan sect's practices perfectly, he hadn't learned it himself like most non-Lan music cultivators, but he had had lessons from the Lan sect leader himself.
