876 Bathing, Peeping... (1/2)
To watch her own family and friends grow old and die of sickness and age, yet being unable to do anything about it; seeing her peers starting families and having children and grandchildren, dying peacefully and resting after having lived a fulfilling life…
While she herself could only stay guard over the world like that, enduring long years of loneliness…
To a beautiful girl like that, how cruel was such a fate? But she couldn't simply break down and be unable to endure! Because she was still needed for the War for Seizing the Heavens! The world needed her!
If there were no Qiao Ying in the War for Seizing the Heavens, who knew how many people would die? Perhaps… they might even be defeated once, or more times!
In order to maintain her state of mind, she had spent almost all her time atop the Pillar of Heavens Mountain, quietly living by herself! At that level of elevation, even ghosts and spirits would not be able to reach her. Time flowed by like that, and now, she was already an old woman of over a thousand years old! But her heart was still as clear as water and incomparably pure! One could say… that this thousand year old senior, was simply a naive young lady in the matters of the world!
Because… her memory of the world only consisted of a few short years. And that was only the memory of her childhood to adulthood. After that, all she'd been doing was train in seclusion, participate in the War for Seizing the Heavens, and then return to training again…
This time, with the Heaven Saint Palace mobilizing their people to protect the Holy Lands' forces, Qiao Ying, who had always stayed away from the matters of the world, unexpectedly requested to go over. And her insistence was even pretty strong!
Before this, she had been staying atop the Pillar of Heavens Mountain for 400 straight years!
Left with no choice and knowing that Qiao Ying's All Seeing Eye had improved along with her cultivation to the point where she could now control it at will, they accepted her request. But because of the importance of this matter, they'd sent two more experts to accompany alongside her.
Nothing could happen to Qiao Ying!
After entering Chrysanthemum City, the pure-hearted Qiao Ying whole heartedly carried out her mission, and her spiritual sense was practically attached to the few Saint Emperors' body. So the moment there was an anomaly, she instantly rushed over.
And the timing that she arrived was exactly the same time when Jun Mo Xie was pranking Bai Qi Feng and stealing Hai Wu Ya's belongings! There weren't any traces of the perpetrator, but because of the anomaly, she instantly thought of the stealth techniques of the strange races, so she activated her All Seeing Eye!
In an instant, all of Young Master Jun's sneaky actions had been revealed before her eyes!
The Yin Yang Escape Art was a true godly ability; if it reached a high enough level, even the All Seeing Eye would not be able to detect it. However, Young Master Jun's current level was too low. Against Qiao Ying's 2,500 years worth of cultivation strength, the Yin Yang Escape Art which had never failed before was finally exposed for the first time!
At that time, Qiao Ying was just about to call out and warn the Saint Emperors, exposing Young Master Jun's scheme, when a chilly voice suddenly sounded out beside her ear. ”Don't make any sound. If you so much as make a single squeak, this Young Master will have no choice but to do what I have to do!” At the same time, a cold Nine Nether Frost Blade was pressed against her neck…
The moment she heard this voice, Qiao Ying instantly knew that this person was the three Holy Lands' greatest enemy, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master!
She did not doubt the identity of that person at all. Because only the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master would have such a unique item like the Nine Nether Frost Blade! And only the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master would have such a strange Yin Qi!
Most importantly, with her current strength, apart from the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, almost no one else could possibly have the ability to restrain her. Even if it were a sneak attack! At the very least, she had this much confidence…
And right now, she'd clearly already landed in the palms of this strong enemy…
She could only blame everything on her lack of worldly experience. Otherwise, even if Qiao Ying's strength was not enough to fight head on against the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, she had over 2,000 years worth of cultivation energy in her body. No matter what, it shouldn't have been so easy for someone to sneak behind her and subdue her so easily…
She had simply been too shocked and captivated by Jun Mo Xie's movements; in addition, she'd been too anxious to warn the Saint Emperors and her attention had been completely absorbed, which led to her not noticing her surroundings…
In addition, she'd been extremely enraged by Young Master Jun's sneaky actions, allowing the anger to cloud her mind which resulted in her being sneaked on by the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master so easily…
”Don't move a finger; just sit down and watch quietly… A grand battle like this is exceedingly hard to come by. If you ruin the show, this Young Master will have to do something very regretful!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had continued in a bland tone.
Qiao Ying clearly felt a pair of eyes gleaming brightly behind her head, blazing with great interest as a light chuckle sounded in her ears. ”That little brat is truly sinister! This Young Master likes him to death! Good, good, toy those hypocrites to death, how did this Young Master not think of such a brilliant idea…”
As Jun Mo Xie had guessed, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had indeed been following behind him all along. For such an outstanding young man to appear all of a sudden, how would the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master not feel suspicious?
No matter what, he was determined to dig out everything about Jun Mo Xie!
