218 - Zhi Ruo vs Zhi Ruo (2) Ye Mo quickly gave Zhi Ruo a rundown of his deduction.Zhi Ruo continued slashing the spiritual beasts coming their way. "If what you said is true, then that meant we shouldn't focus on survival, rather, then the Nascent Divinity cultivators should put our attention on escaping the Ye Sect--no, the Leaf City.""That would be impossible, Third Princess," Ye Anjian butt in. "You are from the imperial capital, that is why you do not understand the thoughts of us locals.""Is pride more important than life, Wu Family Patriarch?""Leaf City is the place where our ancestors are born, and this would remain the home for our future descendants as well. This is where our families and friends live. It is impossible for any of us to simply abandon those who are weaker for us. If we do not stand against the Demonic Faction, everyone else will die." 

220 - Zhi Ruo vs Zhi Ruo (4)   Zhi Ruo gave Ye Mo a suspicious look, but nevertheless, she chose to trust Ye Mo. After all, this was his sect, and the one with the most disastrous outcome if low-level cultivators were sacrificed was no doubt the Ye Sect, as all of their disciples, the future of the sect, would perish.  She studied the surroundings of the Tenth Peak. Since there were three Nascent Divinity Cultivators protecting their group, they had efficiently cleared the area from the berserk spiritual beasts. The foot of the mountain—the entrance of the peak in particular—was basically littered with burnt corpses of the insect-type monsters. Wu Anjian did not want their innate poison to contaminate the lands, and from the get-go, he had been the one who had achieved the most kills due to his elemental affinity bei

221 - You Already Knew, Right? The Zhi Ruo who had just arrived held no sword. What kind of sword cultivator could possibly lose her sword, which they treasured more than their own lovers? The people were more inclined to believe that the Zhi Ruo fighting beside them all along was the real Third Princess and Saintess of the Ming Yue Sect.However, aside from that and the fact that she looked like she had gone through a terribly bitter fight, the newcomer looked exactly like the woman standing beside Ye Mo, from the jade pins on her head down to the embroidered shoes she wore. The sound of her voice was the same—she was also at the early stage of the Nascent Divinity Realm and even the qi she’s emitting was the Third Princess’s sword qi!Ye Mo distanced hi

223 - I Want You to Stay (2)“Ruo’er will stay as well,” someone said after several seconds of heavy silence.Everyone turned towards the young woman limping to stand beside Ye Mo. Zhi Ruo held a stubborn expression that seemingly said she would rather be killed than leave. Wu Anjian no longer insisted as he felt that persuading the princess would yield no results. He had to be rational. With a sorry look on his face, he took off with the unconscious Ye Beixia and Wu Xuan’er in each of his arms, together with the remaining Ye Sect disciples. Those who were trapped inside the guardian formation of the Tenth Peak each had indescribable expressions. At this point in time, they were nothing but spectators to a play, small fishes waiting for their turn in the chopping board.

222 - I Want You to Stay (1)As Old Woman Xia was sneak attacked by a sword from behind, she was unable to dodge and was severely wounded. The true Zhi Ruo—the one who arrived with an injured arm—hurried towards her.“Third Elder is alive, but she lost consciousness,” she said after checking the old woman’s vital signs. “I don’t think she can enter combat even if she wakes up.”Hearing those words, Ye Mo, Wu Anjian and the Third Elder’s alchemy students were all able to sigh in relief. However, it was short-lived.If the true Zhi Ruo didn’t arrive, none of them would have realized that a switch had occurred. When did it happen? Had the fake Zhi Ruo been with them from the start, within the pavilion where the joint
