Chapter 21 – Whispers of Love
Song Jingyi turned his head around to look at the Yu Shou sect cultivators behind him. He gritted his teeth then took out a few explosive iron pills from his storage ring and mercilessly threw them behind him.

There were a couple of explosions as the iron pills detonated, which temporarily stalled the pursuing cultivators. The Tian Yuan sect disciples took this opportunity to speed up and rushed forward to Fang Ye City. A layer of blue energy surrounded the entire place since a defensive barrier had been set up around the city. When the Tian Yuan sect disciples guarding the walls saw Song Jingyi and the others, the disciples opened up a gap on the barrier to let them through.

A female cultivator looked around, asking: “Where is Chu Shixiong?”

Now that he was safe, Songyi also calmed down. Thinking of the previous constant gaffes, he hated Chu Yu in his heart, but he steeled himself and showed a sad expression: “Shimei, Chu Shidi and that Xiao Shidi … In order to save us, he was ambushed by the demonic path cultivator …”

He hadn’t even finished speaking before the woman’s face turned pale.

Each inner disciple’s facial expression went blank with surprise for a moment then they chose to remain silent.

If they had stayed there, even if they were able to eliminate the demonic insects, with a Core Formation cultivator and six Foundation Building cultivators to fight, they would have died. Moreover, Song Jingyi is the personal succeeding disciple of the sect master. He will be the leader of Tian Yuan sect in the future so if they offend Song Jingyi now, they will suffer for it later.

Song Jingyi sighed: “Everyone, Shidi, Shimei, don’t worry! On the way back I sent a signal. Soon a Nascent Soul stage Elder will arrive to deal with those demonic cultivators and get revenge for Chu Shidi!”

The female cultivator suddenly stared at him: “Signal?! Song Shixiong! Why didn’t you send a signal earlier! If you had sent it earlier, Chu Shixiong would not … have been … “

“It was an emergency. I forget about it for a moment.” The expression on Song Jinyi’s face showed guilt and his voice was sad. He went to the edge of the walls, looking towards the direction of the river. Slowly, the corners of his lips turned up in a proud smile.

He did that on purpose.

The Immortal Sword Congress will begin soon and Chu Yu was the biggest threat to him. Originally, he had some difficulty trying to think of how to make Chu Yu get some serious injuries so that he would be forced to withdraw from the Immortal Sword Congress. Unexpectedly, they met the demonic cultivators which helped him with this problem.

That Yuan Chen Peak’s Xiao Shidi looked extremely strong compared to Chu Yu. Fortunately, he has also been eliminated along with Chu Yu and, thus, another threat to his winning first place in the Immortal Sword Congress has been removed.

When Chu Yu woke up, there was only darkness in front of him. His head seemed to be pillowed on someone’s thigh and his wrist was clasped by a cold hand that sent a constant flow of gentle spiritual energy.

Chu Yu closed his eyes for a moment and felt that his body was completely devoid of spiritual energy; he couldn’t bear to look again. After all, there had not been much spiritual energy in his body when he was forced to use a technique that made him draw on a lot of spiritual energy to allow them to escape. Thank goodness that his meridians weren’t damaged. Just that fact is enough for him to be satisfied.

Right after he used the water technique to escape, Chu Yu immediately fainted. They had hidden themselves in the water a great distance so Chu Yu didn’t know where they were at this time. Chu Yu sighed and felt a quiver run through the body of the person who was sending his spiritual energy to Chu Yu.
