Heart Protection (Back from the Brink)

CHAPTER 82

Yan Hui and Zhu Li were taken back by Tian Yao's words. Tian Yao's eyes were somewhat cold, but his voice was very steady:

"If Su Ying really came to Qing Qiu to battle with several hundred cultivators......Although there are many xian cultivators in Central Plains, the number of those proficient at xian magic isn't necessarily high. Su Ying for sure brought highly skilled cultivators. Otherwise no matter how strong she is, she wouldn't be able to attack the demons' camp without high losses. And she launched a surprised attack. To prevent retaliation from the demons at San Chong Mountain, she definitely brought many troops to keep watch. Based on this, there will be a lot of emptiness between San Chong Mountain and Central Plains. Other xian sects won't place guards at their own gates. In addition, 20 years ago Guang Han Sect surrounded itself with a barrier spell. It's like their guards won't be too attentive."

Tian Yao continued: "This is about the best time to steal back my dragon heart."

Zhu Li grew more shocked as he listened. It seemed like he still hadn't fully taken it all in.

However, Yan Hui clearly understood Tian Yao. He didn't even have to finish before Yan Hui got it. She immediately frowned and said with apprehension: "Could this another one of Su Ying's plots?" She deliberated, "Although Guang Han Sect is the closest out of the top three sects to San Chong Mountain, Su Ying's status is really high. She isn't sitting in place and managing the sect but rather leading cultivators for a surprise attack. No matter how I think about it, it doesn't seem right."

Tian Yao looked at Zhu Li: "So we need to see if their intel is the absolute truth."

Zhu Li understood that part. He immediately jumped up and ran out: "I'm going right now to verify!" He reached the door when a thought pop up: "If it is true and Qing Qiu can't spare anyone, then I'm going with you guys to Guang Han Sect to help!"

Yan Hui watched Zhu Li run out before turning to Tian Yao: "If Su Ying truly came to Qing Qiu, are we really going to bring Zhu Li to Guang Han Sect?"

Tian Yao shook his head: "His cultivation isn't enough. He'll be a hindrance. Even without Su Ying at Guang Han Sect, I can only protect you with my current power. Adding another person would be a burden."

Yan Hui stared at him: "Then how are we going to get rid of Zhu Li?"

Tian Yao gave her a look: "He can't catch up to us."

Yan Hui was silent. Not a moment later, Zhu Li hurriedly ran back. He started talking right when he got through the door: "The intel is definitely true. Her arrival has some strange circumstances. It's like they came not to attack us demon clans but rather to take our clansmens' neidan........"

Zhu Li hadn't finished talking when Tian Yao wrapped his arm around Yan Hui's face. Zhu Li saw a white light flash and heard the wind roar. In a blink of an eye, the two figures that were standing there were gone.

Zhu Li was stunned. He foolishly stood there for a moment before snapping back to his senses. He took two steps outside and saw the trailing streak of a white light in the sky.

Zhu Li stamped his feet in a rage: "Despicable! I helped you out of the kindness of my heart! And you dare leave me behind!"

Tian Yao and Yan Hui were flying on a cloud. They didn't hear Zhu Lio venting his anger at all. Actually, the two of them didn't even think about how Zhu Li felt after being abandoned. Yan Hui just thoughtfully said: "Su Ying came from the demons' neidan........" Her eyebrows furrowed. "Tian Yao, do you still remember when we were at Heavenly Fragrance if those demons' neidan were also removed?"

Tian Yao made a sound in confirmation.

"From their perspective, when they handed the demons over to ordinary people to guard over, cutting out the neidan was a reasonable move. The suspicious thing was those neidan disappeared."
