Chapter 123 Using Stones to Repay Kindness
His long sword flew up and down like a dragon emerging from the sea, splattering blood wherever it went, and enemies screamed and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Wen Xingyu and Xu Yan worked closely together, with one responsible for holding back the enemy's main force and the other taking the opportunity to launch a fatal blow.
The two had excellent chemistry, and their moves were seamlessly connected.
On the other side, the white-robed youth was not to be outdone. He moved his palms, and streams of spiritual light burst forth from his palms, which was the unique skill of the Lingmu Sect.
In an instant, the entire battlefield was radiant with light, dazzling the eyes.
Despite Huan Yuechu and the others' valiant efforts, the Mo Yue Cult had far too many members, who were well-trained and coordinated perfectly.
Gradually, the Ink Moon Sect began to gain the upper hand, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Huan Yuechu's side...
Just when the situation was critical, Huan Yuechu suddenly remembered the strange runes she had seen on the little girl's box.
In a moment of inspiration, she took out an object resembling a rune that she always carried, infused it with spiritual power, and threw it into the air.
In that instant, the runes that had been quietly embedded in the surface of the object suddenly burst forth with an incomparably dazzling light, as if a blazing sun had suddenly risen.
The light was so intense that the members of the Moyue Sect were caught off guard and their eyes were stung so badly that they could not open them.
They instinctively shielded their eyes with their hands, but even so, the light still shone through their fingers, making their vision blurry.
At the same time, the Mo Yue Sect members affected by the bright light also became sluggish involuntarily, and their originally agile movements seemed to be slowed down several times.
Just then, Huan Yuechu, who had been keeping a close eye on the battle, seized the opportunity and shouted, "Counterattack!"
Her voice boomed like thunder, instantly snapping everyone out of their brief shock.
Hearing Huan Yuechu's shout, the group, who were still somewhat shaken, immediately perked up and mustered their courage, charging towards the enemy with all their might.
In an instant, shouts of battle, the clash of weapons, and the booming sounds of various spells colliding mingled together, resounding throughout the entire battlefield.
However, the leader of the Moyue Sect was an experienced man after all. When he realized that the situation was unfavorable to him, he did not hesitate to order a retreat.
As soon as he gave the order, the Mo Yue Cult members who were still struggling to hold on turned around and fled the scene as if they had been granted a pardon.
After all the enemies had retreated, Huan Yuechu and the others finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
The intense battle had left everyone feeling physically and mentally exhausted. Now that their tense nerves had relaxed, an indescribable sense of fatigue washed over them.
However, despite everyone's exhaustion, their faces were still beaming with the joy of victory.
At this moment, the white-clad youth standing to the side looked at Huan Yuechu with admiration and sincerely praised her.
"I never expected you to possess such a wondrous treasure. If it weren't for the powerful light it suddenly unleashed, which disrupted the opponent's formation, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain."
Faced with the white-robed youth's praise, Huan Yuechu simply smiled and said modestly.
"This was something I obtained by chance, and it was only by luck that it came in handy at a crucial moment. However, after this incident, the Moyue Church will probably hate us even more."
"Therefore, we must carefully replan our route to avoid being attacked by them again or encountering other unknown dangers."
After hearing Huan Yuechu's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
So everyone gathered around the old but sturdy wooden table, their faces serious and solemn, and began to seriously discuss their next course of action.
The room was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if even the air itself had frozen.
At this moment, Huan Yuechu, who had been silent all along, suddenly turned her gaze to the elegant young man dressed in white.
Her eyes were sharp and deep, as if she wanted to see through his handsome appearance to his true thoughts.
She frowned slightly, her tone revealing a hint of doubt and questioning.
"You can't possibly help us without reservation just because you disapprove of the Moyue Sect's actions. You must have witnessed what happened yesterday. So, what exactly do you want from us?"
Faced with Huan Yuechu's probing questions, the white-robed youth appeared remarkably calm and composed.
He gently closed the exquisite folding fan in his hand, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
Then, he answered in a calm and unhurried tone.
“You’re overthinking it, young lady. My surname is Mu, and my given name is Yang. Everything I’ve done is from the bottom of my heart, and I have no other ulterior motives. I hope you won’t overcomplicate things.”
However, Huan Yuechu did not easily believe his words.
She stared intently into Mu Yang's eyes and continued to press, "Since that's the case, now that you've achieved your goal, you may leave. We are extremely grateful to you for saving us."
"However, please forgive my bluntness, but if we discover that you have concealed anything from us or have any intention of deceiving us, then don't blame us for being ruthless!"
After she finished speaking, the others around her echoed her sentiments, expressing their agreement with Huan Yuechu's point of view.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became increasingly tense.
Mu Yang sighed softly, closed his fan, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and said, "Miss, you misunderstand. I do have another purpose, but I mean no harm. In fact, I have been searching for something." After saying that, he glanced at me and continued.
"It is said that this item is closely related to the Lingmu Sect, and you all have a faint aura similar to it, which is why I approached you. Now it seems that I may have been wrong." After saying that, he turned to leave.
Xu Yan quickly stopped him, "Wait, perhaps we've seen what you're looking for before, why don't you tell me?"
Mu Yang's eyes lit up. "That's a piece of jade that emits a faint blue light. It's said to contain immense power."
Upon hearing this, Huan Yuechu's heart stirred. She took out a cloth-wrapped object from her bosom, opened it, and found it to be the dark blue jade stone.
It turns out that she had obtained this from an ancient ruin.
Mu Yang was overjoyed. "This is the jade I've been looking for. It's called the Spirit Source Jade, and it holds extraordinary significance for our sect. Would you be willing to part with it, young lady? I will certainly repay you handsomely."
Huan Yuechu frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment as if deep in thought, and then slowly spoke.
"This piece of jade is quite peculiar. Since it is related to your sect, it is not unreasonable to give it to you. Besides, you have helped us before, and we will always remember this kindness."
