Chapter 447: Fairy Bao Hua
Chapter 447: Fairy Bao Hua
Only after completely leaving the previous stone pier area did Zhang Ye swallow the pill in his mouth, adjusting his breath with the support of its warm medicinal power.
As an itinerant cultivator escorting cargo, he knew he had gotten himself into deep trouble.
The number of soldiers and officers patrolling Hongze Dragon Palace was fixed, and they changed shifts no more than twice a day. The news of the two missing water tribe members would spread in no time.
He would definitely not pass through these waters again, at least not in the next decade or so.
"Thank you, Senior. I, Zhang, have truly blinded myself..."
Zhang Ye pinched his fingers into a spell, glancing at Shen Yi beside him with a calm expression, and couldn't help but feel great admiration.
To offend the Hongze Water Tribe and still remain so calm and composed.
Either this person had an equally extraordinary background, or they were already accustomed to such deeds, killing without a trace and leaving no evidence behind.
From Shen Yi's decisive and swift actions earlier, Zhang Ye was more inclined to believe the latter.
Of course, judging from that overpowering and formidable cultivation, their background was definitely not lacking either.
But at a time like this, Old Zhang would never ask any more questions.
Although they were all in the same boat, a ruthless person like this, who was able to hold back until now and did not wipe them all out, was already an uncommon act of mercy.
"It's nothing. I was just protecting myself," Shen Yi shook his head and looked forward.
As long as he needed the lifespan of demons and magical beasts, offending the water tribe was inevitable.
It was better to get used to it sooner rather than later.
However, when going out, it would be best not to bring up the name of Nanyang Sect. The group in the blessed land couldn't afford any more trouble.
"Senior Shen, do you have something urgent to see Fairy Bao Hua about?" Liu Jun had finally calmed down and his gaze towards Shen Yi had completely changed as he asked.
Facing such a famous water tribe demon lord, he dared to kill without hesitation.
This was completely different from those disciples of the Bao Hua Sect who came before, hoping to catch a glimpse of the fairy's beauty and pretending to be nonchalantly elegant.
He didn't believe that such a senior would cross mountains and seas just for beauty.
"I have a request and came here upon someone's suggestion," Shen Yi nodded slightly, he was no longer a novice in the cultivation world.
Even if Elder Xuanqing did leave some goodwill in the Bao Hua Sect in the past, the world had changed drastically, and he had already turned into a wooden man. The other party might not acknowledge this favor anymore.
It was always good to have more connections.
"Rest assured, leave this to me," Liu Jun patted his chest and said decisively, "I dare not boast about other things, but as long as it's within the sect, creating an opportunity for you to meet Fairy Bao Hua secretly won't be a problem. I ignored those who came to me before, but I'll take care of this."
"Mhm."
Shen Yi glanced at him and said, "Thank you."
It sounded a little strange.
"... "
Hearing the conversation between the two, the cultivators on the boat remained silent, feeling a mix of relief from their narrow escape and a hint of bitterness.
They were naturally grateful and excited to have survived by a narrow margin.
If it weren't for the young-looking Senior Mo Shan taking action to rescue them, they would have already fed the fish in the water.
However, unlike Liu Jun and the others, they couldn't rely on their connection to the Bao Hua Sect to take refuge in the blessed land.
Once they reached the shore, they could only escape for their lives, relying on their own abilities.
"Senior Shen, between you and Fairy Bao Hua, who is stronger?"
Liu Jun recovered from his shock and turned back into the talkative person he was before, looking at Shen Yi curiously.
"I don't know her," Shen Yi leaned against the boat pillar, responding casually. He didn't need to pry for information, the other party would chat freely.
"..."
Shen Yi listened quietly, gaining a general understanding of the Bao Hua Sect.
Apparently, this was also a major sect with a Unity realm master presiding over it. However, compared to the South Hong Seven, or even just one of them, the sect's foundation and heritage fell short by more than a simple margin.
For example, they both had heirs to their sect leaders.
This Bao Hua Xianzi's Dao Palace didn't even have a single layer of the Celestial Palace, putting her on a completely different level from Elder Xuanqing.
He now had only one question.
If this Bao Hua Xianzi was only at this level of cultivation, she didn't seem like someone from ten thousand years ago?
Could it be that she was someone Elder Xuanqing met later on?
...
Bao Hua Sect.
Unlike the inner gates of other immortal sects, the cultivators here didn't seem to favor living in caves. Instead, they resided in exquisite small buildings that were scattered amidst the lush greenery, with a faint floral fragrance hanging in the air, creating an ethereal atmosphere.
In the most rustic-looking small building.
An old woman with silver-white hair sat before a vanity mirror, staring blankly at her wrinkled face. Only her bright eyes hinted at the beauty she once possessed.
Behind her.
A tall woman in a white dress with a hint of pink at the hem stood. She wore a crown made of intertwining vines, her bare feet touching the ground, and held a comb in her hand. She was carefully combing the silver-white hair of the old woman, which reached her waist.
Her attire left no doubt as to her identity.
"Master."
Fairy Bao Hua spoke softly, "I'm done combing it."
In all of Hongze, it was highly unlikely that they could find another Unity realm giant who still cared about their physical appearance.
Fairy Bao Hua couldn't understand it either, but since her master liked it, she kept her company.
"Good."
The old woman didn't get up, and her eyes filled with memories, "Go now, I want to sit here alone for a while."
As her words fell, she seemed to turn into a wooden statue, deep in thought.
"Yes, Master."
Fairy Bao Hua bowed and then gently withdrew.
As she slowly walked down the green mountain, she didn't deliberately adjust her expression, but the change in her eyes transformed her from a devoted disciple to a gentle and graceful senior sister.
The surrounding disciples all stopped and bowed.
Even though they were in the inner sect and often saw her, being able to catch a glimpse of her beauty was still beneficial to their cultivation.
Fairy Bao Hua finally returned to her own small building.
Before she even entered, she saw a few maids waiting outside. They quickly approached and said, "Xianzi, you're back. There's an outsider who wishes to meet you."
"Who is it?" Fairy Bao Hua asked, trying to maintain her composure.
"He's a young cultivator, rather handsome, but unfamiliar. He seems to be at the second layer of the Returning Void," the maid replied hastily.
"Hmm?" Fairy Bao Hua glanced at them. According to usual circumstances, such news wouldn't reach her. After all, countless young men visited the Bao Hua Sect daily, and almost ninety-nine percent of them wanted to meet her.
"It's like this," the maid's face changed slightly as she hurriedly explained, "I'm afraid this Xuanqing Senior is an old acquaintance of yours, so I came to report it to you."
"Xuanqing?"
Fairy Bao Hua frowned slightly. After a few breaths, she shook her head, "I don't know him. I won't see him."
