CHAPTER 1629: CHAPTER 1629: LONG TIME NO SEE, LADIES

As Fang Bai and Duan Yi were engaged in a fierce battle, the Lightning Mink moved like a bolt of electricity, breaking through the defensive array set up around the Sect Master Hall by Duan Yi, and crashed open the hall’s main door, charging inside.

Seeing this, Duan Yi was greatly alarmed, wanting to stop the Lightning Mink, but Fang Bai’s relentless offensive left him no room to disengage.

"Who is it?"

After the Lightning Mink entered the Sect Master Hall, an indignant shout rang out from a side chamber.

The Lightning Mink was very familiar with the confidante by Fang Bai’s side when in the Secular World, and upon hearing this voice, it knew who it was.

"Sister Baimei, it’s me!"

The Lightning Mink appeared in the side chamber, grinning.

On a large bed in the side chamber, two charming women were curled up, glaring angrily at the Lightning Mink.

One woman wore a black dress, her eyebrows and eyes like the spring mountains and autumn waters, possessing an innate allure; The other wore a white dress, her expression casual, with a celestial beauty, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

The voice just heard was from the naturally enchanting black-dressed woman, who else but Linghu Baimei?

And the white-clad woman was naturally Linghu Baimei’s sister, Linghu Qianjiao.

The Linghu sisters seemed to have their Qi Sea sealed, unable to move except for their mouths and eyes.

"Little Mink?"

Seeing the Lightning Mink, the Linghu sisters exclaimed in surprise, their eyes showing delight.

"Sisters, long time no see!"

The Lightning Mink jumped onto the bed, nuzzling affectionately beside the Linghu sisters.

"Little Mink, how come you’re here?"

Linghu Qianjiao asked curiously.

Linghu Baimei interjected, "With Little Mink’s habits, it must be here to swipe some of the Taixuan Sect’s cultivation resources."

The Lightning Mink laughed, "Sister Baimei knows me well! That’s right, I’m here to swipe Taixuan Sect’s cultivation resources!"

Linghu Baimei said, "Then how did you get into the Sect Master Hall?"

The Lightning Mink replied, "I sensed your presence and came specifically to rescue you!"

Linghu Qianjiao frowned, "The Taixuan Sect’s Sect Master Hall has very formidable array defenses around, how did you manage to get in?"

The Lightning Mink boasted proudly, "My cultivation level is now at the Soul Severing Realm, and I know a bit about arrays, so getting in was a breeze!"

"Wow, you reached the Soul Severing Realm, you’re amazing!"

"Fang Bai used to say you have Divine Beast blood flowing in you, a descendant of the Divine Beast, with extraordinary talent. Looks like it’s true!"

The Linghu sisters looked at the Lightning Mink in front of them, faces showing admiration and envy.

Hearing "Divine Beast descendant," the Lightning Mink was even more pleased, smiling ear to ear yet pretended to be modest, "Not sure if what Fang Bai said is true, maybe he’s just trying to cheer me up!"

Linghu Qianjiao asked worriedly, "Little Mink, did you come alone to rescue us?"

Since the Lightning Mink hadn’t casually broken the array upon entering the Sect Master Hall, the hall remained sealed by the array, so even though the fighting outside was fierce, the Linghu sisters inside couldn’t hear it, thus Linghu Qianjiao thought the Lightning Mink came alone, hence her question.

The Lightning Mink shook its head, "Taixuan Sect has Thunder Tribulation experts stationed here, I wouldn’t dare come alone. I came with Old Taoist Wu and Fang Bai."

Upon hearing "Fang Bai," the Linghu sisters both trembled.

"Brother Fang is here?"

"Where is he?"

The sisters asked excitedly in unison.

Ever since they met Fang Bai, whether in the Secular World or the Minor World, they regarded Fang Bai as their anchor, and upon arriving at the Great World, they were forcibly taken by a sect as disciples, later seeking a chance to escape together, but were pursued by the sect.

While fleeing pursuit, they also sought news of Fang Bai, living in constant anxiety, worried about being caught by their previous sect and unable to find Fang Bai’s whereabouts.

While near the Taixuan Sect, the sisters encountered a Taixuan Sect Elder returning from training. Seeing the sisters with Innate Spiritual Roots and Primordial Yin Physique, and extremely beautiful, he forcibly brought them to offer to Sect Leader Duan Yi.

Taixuan Sect’s Sect Leader Duan Yi had been stuck at the Soul Severing Perfection Realm for decades, unable to advance to the Thunder Tribulation Realm, due to both his own talent issues and lack of necessary Spirit Pills and Spiritual Medicine assistance.

The Primordial Yin Physique with Innate Spiritual Roots was an excellent "Spiritual Medicine," and if he could form a Martial Dao companionship with the sisters, cultivating together, Duan Yi would have a hope to advance further in strength.

Just a few days ago, a Wuya Sect envoy visited, inviting Taixuan Sect’s Sect Leader Duan Yi to attend the Wuya Sect Supreme Elder’s 500th birthday banquet.

The Wuya Sect’s Supreme Elder was a Thunder Tribulation Level 2 expert, the Sect Master was a Level 1 expert, and their elders, stewards, personal transmission disciples, and core disciples were all Soul Severing experts, overall stronger than Taixuan Sect, and Taixuan Sect always regarded Wuya Sect as superior.

Since it was a banquet, guests needed to offer gifts.

After the Wuya Sect envoy left, Duan Yi mulled over what gift to present, then suddenly thought of offering the two beautiful women with Innate Spiritual Roots to the Wuya Sect Supreme Elder, who had been at the Thunder Tribulation Level 2 for years and had a fondness for beautiful women, as a gift to please him.

Though giving away the women he’d obtained pained him, Duan Yi thought that if he succeeded, it would have a dual benefit, enhancing relations between the two sects and he could seek Spirit Pills or cultivation guidance from the Wuya Sect Supreme Elder.

This would benefit both Taixuan Sect and himself.

So Duan Yi kept the two women in his Sect Master Hall, guarded closely, planning to set out with them in a few days to present them to Wuya Sect.

But he didn’t expect such chaos to occur in the sect before his departure.

After the Linghu sisters were captured, knowing Duan Yi wanted to form a Martial Dao companionship with them, they refused resolutely, and when Duan Yi suggested forming one with the Wuya Sect Supreme Elder, they resisted fiercely again.

Were they weaker-willed women, they’d be crying, but the Linghu sisters were stubborn and unyielding by nature, they wouldn’t submit to anything against their wishes.

The sisters had even secretly decided, if Duan Yi really sent them to the Wuya Sect Supreme Elder, they would rather die than be humiliated.

Yet they regretted perhaps never seeing Fang Bai again.

The Lightning Mink’s sudden appearance thrilled the Linghu sisters, then upon hearing Fang Bai was at Taixuan Sect, they were so excited they almost cried.

"Fang Bai is just outside, fighting the Taixuan Sect’s Sect Leader!"

The Lightning Mink said, pointing outside the hall.
