Ye Yu was quite surprised by the sudden appearance of that elder. He asked himself honestly—he had never seen him before. So how could this fellow know everything about him?
Behind him, Xie Buyu transformed into a streak of light and dashed toward the elder.
“Old dog, give me back the Xuanba Shitian Axe!” she snarled.
Facing Xie Buyu’s fierce assault, the old dog Goulangtu merely revealed a ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) grin that drank blood—he made no move to defend himself. He knew someone would step in to save him.
Seventh Elder Chen Guangju of Extreme Moon Pavilion swept out his great sleeve. In an instant, a frost barrier formed around them—thin as cicada wings, seemingly fragile, but it easily blocked Xie Buyu’s blow and flung her backward.
Chen Guangju showed no surprise. He said coldly, “Lieyang Sect members, have you no manners? You attack distinguished guests of Extreme Moon Pavilion on sight. It seems your sect’s reputation isn’t worth preserving!”
His words were arrogant but not exaggerated. In nearly ten thousand years, Extreme Moon Pavilion had indeed stripped many sects of their prestige—one of their favorite ways to flaunt power.
At this, the Lieyang Sect Divines all frowned. No matter how angered they were, none dared speak. In the Divine Realm, few would dare confront Extreme Moon Pavilion head-on.
Still, one’s own weakness did not prove another’s. All eyes turned expectantly to Ye Yu. He felt the heated gazes behind him, but did not strike immediately. Instead, he sent a thought to Xie Buyu: “Is this fellow the old dog Goulangtu?”
“Yes, it’s him,” she replied, anger flashing in her eyes.
Ye Yu’s expression grew grave. He asked aloud, “You want me to help you retrieve the Xuanba Shitian Axe from him?”
He had long wondered why Xie Buyu had chosen to swear the Dao-union with him. Seeing Goulangtu now, a possibility occurred to him: perhaps she intended to use his strength to reclaim her master’s artifact. But that was not the case.
Xie Buyu shook her head decisively. “The Xuanba Shitian Axe is my master’s heirloom. I must retrieve it myself. It has nothing to do with you.”
Ye Yu was taken aback. She refused—so resolutely! It seemed Xie Buyu had no intention of using him. The more he saw of this goddess, the more inscrutable she became.
