I'm also desperate.
Chapter 888 Leaving the Jibing Sect
With the Kongbing Sword Art improved to the third level, not only did the power of the sword art itself increase, but the absorption rate of other cultivation methods also increased by a large margin.
The improvement of the absorption rate directly led to an infinite increase in the upper limit of the Kongbing Sword Art.
The more Fang Yue understood the power of the Kongbing Sword Art, the more he could feel how terrifying Han Daren's strength was when he was at the peak of the Yu-level.
And Han Daren, with such strength, failed when facing the current Holy Emperor.
Fang Yue didn't know what happened in the battle between Han Daren and the Holy Emperor that day, but as far as the result was concerned, the current Holy Emperor's strength had probably exceeded the upper limit of the Yu-level!
"It seems that if I want to defeat the current Holy Emperor, I can only do so by surpassing the Yu-level."
Fang Yue's heart sank slightly.
In his expectation, if he forcibly took You Sisi away, he might need to fight the current Holy Emperor.
Faced with such an opponent, there were limited things he could do.
"Sure enough, I still need to become stronger."
Fang Yue calmed down and continued practicing his sword.
He practiced directly until the afternoon, and only stopped when Ni Dongmei came back.
"Your face doesn't look good. Did something happen?" Fang Yue asked strangely.
"The Liehuo Sect has announced the start of the war first. Now all the combat power of the Jibing Sect must be invested in the battle. All personnel must be mobilized, including me, and even...Tail has to fight."
Fang Yue frowned slightly: "It's expected, but Tail, I plan to take her away from the Jibing Sect temporarily. At least before her body recovers, I won't let her participate in the disputes between the Jibing Sect and the Liehuo Sect."
Ni Dongmei looked up at Fang Yue in slight surprise.
To be honest, that's what she thought too.
Tail needs to recuperate well in her current state, but the sect master specifically instructed Tail to fight.
Even if it was just carrying Tail to the front line to boost morale, there would be great risks.
"It's good for Tail to be taken back to Jing City by you. Although Jing City is not peaceful now, it's better than staying in the Jibing Sect. At least you are there to protect her. As for the sect master's side, I will take care of it."
Fang Yue understood that although Ni Dongmei said it lightly, it was not a simple matter to solve the trouble on the Jibing Sect Master's side. She might be punished for it.
However, at this moment, the Jibing Sect was in a period of extreme manpower shortage. Even if Ni Dongmei did something wrong, the Jibing Sect Master should not punish her too much because of her status as an elder and her combat power.
With the matter settled, Ni Dongmei pondered the departure time and arranged it for the evening.
During the day, there were many people and too many eyes on them, making it difficult to handle.
At night, the two of them could leave quietly.
They would report after the fact. Even if the sect master and others were furious after Fang Yue and the others left, they could do nothing to Ni Dongmei.
Night fell quickly, and Ni Dongmei arrived as scheduled.
Fang Yue took Tail, who was still sleepy, and left the residence to leave the Jibing Sect.
At the foot of the mountain, Ni Dongmei had prepared a carriage, waiting for Fang Yue and Tail to arrive, so they could leave directly by carriage.
Unexpectedly, there were not many Jibing Sect disciples patrolling along the way.
Fang Yue felt a little strange. Before he could say anything to Ni Dongmei, he saw Ni Dongmei, who was leading the way, suddenly stop. Then, a fire suddenly lit up in the darkness ahead, illuminating an old face.
That was…
"Sect Master?!"
Ni Dongmei exclaimed in a low voice.
The person blocking the way ahead was actually the Jibing Sect Master.
And with the appearance of the sect master, several lights began to light up around them, illuminating the faces of several elders.
"You…"
Tail's expression changed slightly.
Fang Yue stood in front of Tail, revealing his sword slightly, his intention was obvious.
The Jibing Sect was just using Tail as a tool. Now that the Jibing Sect was not safe, and Tail would be sent to the front line to fight by the sect master and others, even if the Jibing Sect would definitely do its best to protect Tail, it would be safer for him to secretly take Tail down the mountain and back to Jing City.
As long as fewer people knew about this matter, and with some disguise, Tail could get enough time to recuperate.
When Lord Qi Ba Jiu could possess her again, Fang Yue would not stop Tail from going wherever she wanted.
Fang Yue originally thought that the Jibing Sect Master and the others would definitely attack him, who wanted to take Tail away.
However, the actual result surprised Fang Yue.
The Jibing Sect Master suddenly knelt on the ground. At the same time, the other elders who came with him also knelt on the ground.
"Tail, if you leave the Jibing Sect, the Jibing Sect will have no chance to turn the tide in this fateful battle between the Jibing Sect and the Liehuo Sect! For the safety of the Jibing Sect, for the future of the Jibing Sect, please don't leave the Jibing Sect!"
The other elders said in unison.
"Please stay, Saintess Tail! Save the Jibing Sect!"
"Please stay, Saintess Tail! Save the Jibing Sect!"
"Please stay, Saintess Tail! Save the Jibing Sect!"
The sect master seemed to have known about Tail's departure for a long time, but his choice was not to keep Tail by force, but... to take another path.
Fang Yue looked at Tail.
He wasn't Tail, and he didn't have much affection for the Jibing Sect.
In addition, because of the Jibing Sect's attitude, he couldn't say he had a good impression of the Jibing Sect.
But Tail's situation was different from his.
Therefore, he didn't know what Tail would do.
But one thing was certain, and that was that if Tail stayed, he would stay too.
Lord Qi Ba Jiu asked him to protect Tail, and he needed to keep his word. As for Jing City, he could only send someone else to inquire about information.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the delicate figure of Tail.
The swaying firelight rose and fell with the wind, making it difficult to see Tail's expression at the moment.
When the wind stopped, the firelight stabilized.
Tail had already stepped forward, passing the kneeling Jibing Sect and the elders, leaving only one sentence.
"If the Jibing Sect is in danger, send someone to notify me, and I will come back then."
The Jibing Sect Master looked back in astonishment, and could only see Tail's thin back gradually disappearing into the darkness.
Gritting his teeth, he quickly raised his voice and said.
"Please show yourself, Lord Qi Ba Jiu! As the Jibing Sect Master, I ask the Supreme Sect Master Qi Ba Jiu to stay in the Jibing Sect and personally take charge! Lead the war against the Liehuo Sect!"
The other elders also shouted quickly when they saw this: "Please stay, Lord Qi Ba Jiu!"
But this kind of shouting had no effect on Tail.
Looking at the Jibing Sect Master's somewhat disappointed look, Fang Yue shrugged his shoulders, passed by them, and caught up with Tail.
Ni Dongmei stayed where she was.
Looking at Tail's back, she seemed to recall the scene when Mo Cun and Tail first met.
The image of the shy little girl slowly merged with Tail's back view, making her feel a lot of emotions for a while.
"That little girl has grown up."
