Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

Chapter 252 The Early Arrival of Hei Mietian, Who Can Stop Me, The Ultimate Truth, The True Supreme Path!

```

Some things, without evidence, and based solely on conjecture, cannot be openly spoken of by an outsider.

However, what he can't, Zhen Ruan is able to.

Yi Chen only hoped that Sect Master Qinyun would become somewhat more vigilant and cautious, as he didn't want to be fighting fiercely at the front only to find out that his deputy sect master had already been subdued.

"Forget it, do what one can and leave the rest to fate."

"At worst, I'll refund the money!"

…

…

Day four.

Sunrise in the east, streaks of rosy clouds.

They accentuated the beauty of Hehuan Mountain, a tranquil and peaceful scene.

Yet, this morning's atmosphere within the Hehuan Sect was one of drawn swords and ready crossbows.

Inside the outer hall.

When Yi Chen entered the outer hall early in the morning, led by Xiaoye, he saw True Monarch Fu Mo wearing an expression full of fury.

"What has happened? The sect master so urgently summoning me." Yi Chen asked with a bit of 'innocence,' acting like a mere bystander. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

He had already guessed what this was about.

"Zhang seat leader, True Monarch Fu Mo's disciple Xiu Feng has vanished from his room without reason, did you notice anything unusual last night?"

Sect Master Qinyun, wearing a moon-white gown revealing her graceful swan neck, massaged her brow and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

The disappearance of an outstanding disciple means so much to a True Monarch, sometimes even more than their own child; it's no wonder that True Monarch Fu Mo was thunderous with rage.

"Back to the sect master, I feel there must be something fishy about this."

"Brother Xiu Feng has most likely fallen victim to Hei Mieitan, and someone might have even infiltrated the Hehuan Sect in disguise as him by now."

"I suggest that we scrutinize the critical locations like the sect's Sect Array today. It would be a misfortune if, when the battle commences, the formation is sabotaged and we lose a limb."

Yi Chen spoke calmly, while also discreetly using his internal senses to observe Sect Master Hong Luo's expression; unfortunately, he could discern nothing but the whiteness of her chest and the depth of her scar.

"This matter can wait. I've heard that you, seat leader Zhang, went out late last night; what were you doing?" Without waiting for Sect Master Qinyun to speak, True Monarch Fu Mo suddenly stared intently at Yi Chen and asked.

He knew his eldest disciple, Xiu Feng, was impulsive but always measured; he wouldn't lay a finger on those he wasn't supposed to touch.

With Hehuan Mountain now fully protected by early warning formations, no outsider without a pass token could possibly scale the mountain silently and kill his foremost disciple. This disappearance was most likely committed by someone inside.

And among those present, only Yi Chen had gone out late at night, also possessing the strength to instantly kill his disciple.

It was inevitable for him to be suspicious.

"Is True Monarch Fu Mo suspecting me?"

"Well then, considering the True Monarch's urgent concern, I won't take offense."

"I have nothing to hide. Last night, I went out with Sect Master Qinyun's daughter, fellow daoist Zhen Ruan, to watch the moon."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Ruan's face turned bashfully red, while Yuan Jin's complexion went deathly pale.

Alone with a woman in the mountains late at night, gazing at the moon – could anything good come of it? For a moment, Yuan Jin felt even the sun in the sky looked green with envy.

…

…

On the square before the outer hall, an emerald pine tree pointed towards the sky like an arrow.

Yi Chen sat under the tree, nonchalantly eating Spirit Fruits, unconcerned about the morning's events, with no evidence against him, who would dare say he wasn't upright?

"Zhang San, you're really clever, now my mother and the others have already dispatched people to inspect the Sect Array." Zhen Ruan's eyes curved with a smile, her hands propped under her chin as she sat opposite Yi Chen,"I hinted to my mother last night, but it's a pity she told me not to talk nonsense."

"No worries, fellow daoist Zhen, once the great battle starts, just hide somewhere. If something changes, you just move… toward my back!"

Just then, Yi Chen's expression suddenly changed.

In the sky, beneath the half sun, a massive flying ship several tens of meters long was speeding through the air.

The ship was covered in runes, flickering with a faint light, and many golden lines ran across it.

At the prow was a black zirconium ghoul statue, with an extremely ferocious appearance, holding a sharp trident that seemed to come to life. The trident stirred up a pale translucent barrier, cutting through the wind.

At that moment, atop the flying ship's bow, a young man dressed in black-golden imperial garb with a gloomy face stood with his hands behind his back.

Powerful waves of corpse energy spread across the sky, as Hei Mietian, lacking any sense of martial honor, had arrived prematurely.

"Qinyun, what's your decision? Will you become my concubine or would you have me destroy your Hehuan Sect?"

"My patience has run out; state your decision." A deafening voice echoed through the sky.

As the flying ship approached, a stark black and white barrier suddenly rose, with a golden lotus flower blooming radiantly upon it.

In an instant, the people of the Hehuan Sect took to the air, facing off against Hei Mietian from a distance.

Sect Master Qinyun stood with elegant composure, curves outlined beneath her gown, the moon-white dress marked with snowy plum blossoms at the collar and cuffs, exuding a refined yet charming air. The fitted gown snugly hugged her jade-like skin, with a waist just full enough for a handful, accentuating her proud chest.

Deputy Sect Master Hong Luo was clad in a red lotus battle dress, her pretty face cold.

Yi Chen sniffed, detecting a strange, invigorating fragrance in the air, which uplifted the spirits of those who smelled it.

"Hei Mietian, how dare you be so presumptuous. With several True Monarchs here and the support of the grand formation, do you not fear that your flaunting speech will twist your tongue in the wind?"

True Monarch Xiaotian, the most hot-tempered, immediately shouted in anger.

From the flying ship, numerous awe-inspiring figures leapt down, forming a loose arc. There were no fewer than a hundred of them, with the two leaders also of True Monarch level, their presence no less significant than the Hundred Evils Corpse Emperor whom Yi Chen had killed. Yi Chen felt it a pity that both were in human form.
