127: Chapter 127 Trouble for the Qingyun Sect?

Nangong Qingya's delicate body was plump and soft, her fragrant sweat soaking the thin gauze garment on her body, making it cling tightly to her, outlining a perfect silhouette.

The two were pressed tightly together, able to feel the warmth of every inch of each other's skin, and even hear the other's heartbeat.

That delicate fragrance and softness wafted over him, making Ji Taichang swallow involuntarily, feeling his inner fire flare up!

"Ah—"

Nangong Qingya was nudged, her pretty face instantly turning crimson and her whole body heating up as she hurriedly scrambled out of Ji Taichang's embrace.

"S-Sorry!"

"This humble one... this humble one had no intention of offending Senior. It's just that I have only recently recovered from a serious illness and my body is still weak..."

Nangong Qingya hurriedly turned away, not daring to look into Ji Taichang's eyes. Her face was like a ripe apple, filled with extreme bashfulness.

[Ding! Nangong Qingya's favorability has increased by 10 points. You can obtain 10% of Purple Cloud Sword Sovereign's cultivation/abilities. Please choose.]

[Nangong Qingya's favorability: 60 (A surprise awaits when favorability reaches 100!)]

"It's fine."

Ji Taichang smiled and walked in front of Nangong Qingya, his gentle gaze looking directly at her. "Although Madam has rejected me, my love for Madam will not change. I fell in love with Madam at first sight, and after spending time together, I find Madam more and more gentle and moving, like a spring breeze blowing into my heart..."

Ji Taichang's sweet words made Nangong Qingya's eyes widen, and her heart began to throb wildly!

"S-Senior! Please don't say any more..."

She stomped her feet bashfully, her hands pulling at the hem of her skirt, feeling somewhat at a loss.

[Ding! Nangong Qingya's favorability has increased by 5.]

[Nangong Qingya's favorability: 65 (A surprise awaits when favorability reaches 100!)]

Hearing the System notification, the corner of Ji Taichang's mouth curled up slightly. He knew Nangong Qingya was moved!

No matter her background, Nangong Qingya was ultimately a woman.

Moreover, Nangong Qingya had lost all her cultivation for over twenty years and had been ostracized in the Lin Family. Raising Lin Fan alone, her heart surely yearned for a powerful man to rely on!

Looking at the current progress, it wouldn't be too difficult for Ji Taichang to win her over. All that was missing was a catalyst to break through their relationship!

Ji Taichang flirted with Nangong Qingya for a while longer. Although it made her even more bashful, her favorability didn't increase further, so he could only let it be for now.

Soon.

Ji Taichang left Medicine King Valley and arrived at a secluded, uninhabited place.

"System, claim Purple Cloud Sword Sovereign's cultivation!"

Ji Taichang thought to himself.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30% of Purple Cloud Sword Sovereign's cultivation!]

As the System notification faded.

A majestic power surged within his Dantian like a volcanic eruption, surging and turbulent. It was continuously absorbed by his Nascent Soul and Supreme Sword Bone, then transformed into streams of pure spiritual energy that flooded his entire body, driving Ji Taichang's cultivation to skyrocket!

Ji Taichang's black hair flew in the wind, and the Supreme Sword Bone in his chest flowed with the strongest Sword Intent, causing the world within a radius of hundreds of miles to change color. A terrifying pressure continuously spread from him, making the heavens roar!

His cultivation Aura skyrocketed rapidly, only gradually calming down after he stepped into the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage!

Ji Taichang carefully sensed the power in his body that had more than several times increased, his mouth curling into a smirk.

"If I fully activate the wuji sword now, I should be able to take down that old geezer in Lin Fan's body, right?"

Ji Taichang rubbed his chin.

"No, it's still not safe enough."

"I'll go back and bed Linlin first to increase my cultivation strength a bit more, or bring that old fogey Ye Yuan along. That way, Lin Fan will be dead for sure!"

"Daring to covet my woman and harboring hatred and Killing Intent toward me—he already has a path to death!"

"And to think I've been taking such good care of your mother..."

Ji Taichang muttered to himself, having made his decision.

Stepping onto the golden feather flying sword, he began his return to the Qingyun Sect.

As he approached the territory of the Qingyun Sect, Ji Taichang's brows suddenly furrowed!

From a distance, he saw the Qingyun Sect's Protective Sect Array activated. Layers of formation patterns glowed on the ground, and dense runes intertwined in mid-air, forming a semi-circular curtain of light that protected the entire Qingyun Sect.

In front of the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate.

A troop of a full thousand Gold-armored Warriors was fully armed, their Killing Intent cold and their Aura extremely fierce. They were clearly battle-hardened elites.

The gold-armored man at the lead held a long spear, radiating a terrifying Nascent Soul Stage pressure that shook the heavens and the earth.

Inside the Protective Sect Array, Lin Xueyue, Yang Yao, and other high-level experts of the Qingyun Sect were as if facing a formidable enemy, their expressions quite grave.

"I will ask you one more time: will you hand over the Thirteenth Princess yourselves, or shall I fight my way in and personally escort her back to the Royal Capital!"

The gold-armored man's voice was cold, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Lin Xueyue frowned slightly. "I have said there is no Thirteenth Princess here. General Jin, please return."

The gold-armored man said coldly, "Stop pretending. This time, Your Majesty personally issued the decree. Does your Qingyun Sect intend to defy the imperial decree?"

"The consequences of defying the decree are more than your Qingyun Sect can bear!!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Many Cultivators in the Qingyun Sect felt their hearts sink, and their faces clearly showed more panic.

Especially those who had only recently joined the Qingyun Sect; they looked around, trying to find the whereabouts of the Thirteenth Princess.

They had joined the Qingyun Sect wanting to rise to greatness together, not to provoke the Dragon's wrath!

In the territory of the Great Wu Dynasty, offending Emperor Jingxuan was undoubtedly seeking one's own destruction. With the Qingyun Sect's current strength, they simply couldn't withstand it!

"Sect Master, quickly hand over the Thirteenth Princess!"

"Yes, yes, it is perfectly reasonable for His Majesty Emperor Jingxuan to want to take the Thirteenth Princess home. Our Qingyun Sect has no legal or moral reason to stop him."

"You must not gamble with the future and lives of the thousands of people in the Qingyun Sect..."

Many Qingyun Sect Elders couldn't help but speak up to persuade her.

Lin Xueyue pursed her lips tightly, her expression somewhat uncertain.

Qin Ruolin had originally escaped from the imperial palace to avoid an arranged marriage. If she were taken back, she would definitely be forced to go to the Great Yu Dynasty for a political marriage!

No matter what, Lin Xueyue did not want Qin Ruolin to marry that old fellow Emperor Yuanxi, who already had one foot in the grave.

The gold-armored man's voice was like a resonant bell as he said coldly, "I will count to ten. If you do not hand over the Thirteenth Princess, then don't blame me for flattening your Qingyun Sect!!"

These words were like a giant boulder thrown into a river, causing a massive wave.

Many Qingyun Sect Cultivators turned pale, starting to panic.

"Sect Master!! Just hand over the Thirteenth Princess! Do you want to cause the death of everyone in the Qingyun Sect!"

"The Qingyun Sect is not your personal Sect. How can you disregard the lives of everyone in the Qingyun Sect for your own selfish interests!"

"Indeed, the Sect Master is in the wrong. As Elders, we have the responsibility to stop her!"

"General Jin, please appease your anger. We will find the Thirteenth Princess right away. Just give us a little time..."

Even many Elders of the Qingyun Sect grew restless, their Divine Senses spreading out to find the Thirteenth Princess.

Some even had cold smiles on their faces, wanting to take the opportunity to undermine Lin Xueyue's authority and plot for her position as Sect Master!
