CHAPTER 495: CHAPTER 492: THE LONG HOWL

Shen Hanyue saw him staring in one direction, blinked her big eyes, and looked in that direction too.

There was nothing there, so she couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Are there more evil beings coming?"

Xiao Ruoling also looked at him with curiosity.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

"Then what are you looking at?" Shen Hanyue asked.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Seeing if I can sense the owner of this letter."

"The Sect Master of the Demon Heart Sect?" Xiao Ruoling asked hastily.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Xiao Ruoling said, "The Sect Masters of the Evil Sect seem to stay within the sect. If you can sense the Sect Master, then that’s truly the heart of their base... But they have treasures or arrays for protection, making it hard to sense."

Her deep, dreamy eyes sparkled slightly.

If indeed the Sect Master of the Demon Heart Sect could be found, it would be a groundbreaking first.

While others couldn’t find the Sect Master of the Evil Sect, it might not be difficult for the Princely Heir.

The Princely Heir’s Super Sense surpasses ordinary Grandmasters.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Unfortunately, I can’t quite make it now."

"Why can’t you make it now?" Shen Hanyue asked.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her.

"Me—?" Shen Hanyue pointed at herself, looking completely baffled.

Xiao Ruoling softly said, "The Elders should arrive tomorrow."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Shen Hanyue immediately understood, glancing sidelong at the two and huffing.

The Princely Heir is worried about Senior Sister Xiao’s safety.

Being with these two often makes her feel like an extra.

Xiao Ruoling softly said, "It’s said that the Evil Sect’s bases are protected by arrays and cannot be forcefully attacked."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "We should take a look first... It might be fake."

"Fake?" Shen Hanyue didn’t understand.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "To prevent being sensed, it’s possible the letter writer isn’t the Sect Master."

"Impossible, right?" Shen Hanyue was surprised, "Do they have to be cautious even writing a letter?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "It’s well-known that a Grandmaster’s sense is formidable; how can they not be cautious?"

A sliver of spiritual sensing, being a Grandmaster, comes with vigilant caution.

The Sect Master of the Evil Sect would be even more careful.

But whether it’s real or not, it has to be checked to be sure, even if it’s fake, it’s worth a look.

With his Super Sense and danger anticipation, he’s not afraid of traps.

In a short while, the bodies of four people turned into four skeletons, looking like they had been exposed to the wild for years, weathered by wind and rain.

Shen Hanyue huffed, "Leave them here so if there are any more evil beings daring to come close, they can see this."

Xiao Ruoling shook her head with a smile.

This would surely demand hatred.

Yao Yue Palace kills the evil beings of the Evil Sect, but other sects also kill them and cannot attract all anger onto themselves.

"I say, in the future, place all the evil beings killed here," Shen Hanyue said.

Xiao Ruoling quickly interjected, "Let’s leave that for later."

If it truly went that way, all the evil beings of the Evil Sect would come to kill.

Though Yao Yue Palace is strong, facing year-round attacks and assassinations from the evil beings, the disciples would bear the brunt.

Once a disciple is lost, there would be guilt, and Shen Hanyue would surely shed tears.

Shen Hanyue was very reluctant, "Senior Sister, what are you afraid of? Isn’t the Princely Heir still here?"

"He can’t stay here all the time," Xiao Ruoling said, "he has other things to attend to."

"What can be busier than the Ministry of Rites? He can just stay here," Shen Hanyue said.

"Junior Sister!"

"Okay, okay, I won’t say it then," Shen Hanyue glanced at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan was still gazing in the direction of the Demon Heart Sect’s Sect Master and laughed, "Actually, Hanyue’s idea is not bad."

Shen Hanyue immediately beamed.

Xiao Ruoling looked at him.

She didn’t think Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t see how flawed this idea was.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "But it can’t be used at your villa, it’s endless trouble."

Shen Hanyue said, "We still have another villa, we can have two shifts guarding here, taking turns to rest. When the evil beings of the Evil Sect come, kill one if it’s one, kill a pair if it’s two!"

Xiao Ruoling gave her a sidelong glance.

Junior Sister Shen was too simple-minded, thinking too shallowly and not considering the future.

Could all the evil beings of the Evil Sect really be killed?

If some remain, these people wouldn’t dare to face the Princely Heir, but would vent their anger on Yao Yue Palace.

The disciples of Yao Yue Palace wouldn’t have a moment of peace.

"Junior Sister, the Evil Sect also has Grandmasters," Xiao Ruoling softly said.

Shen Hanyue retorted, "We have Grandmasters too!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile, "This is a good idea, but it’s unsuitable for use at Yao Yue Palace... Placing it at my villa would be the best."

He built a manor at the original stopping point of the Yuding Sect outside.

There’s also a strange stone there, beneficial for cultivating the Purple Sun Scripture.

"You built a villa too?" Shen Hanyue eagerly asked, "How about we go there tonight?"

Xiao Ruoling scolded, "Junior Sister!"

Shen Hanyue said, "Aren’t you curious, Senior Sister? Let’s go and have a look."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, "Sure, tonight we can stay there."

Xiao Ruoling said, "But Junior Sister and the others should be asleep by now."

"Just wake them up," Shen Hanyue said, "They’ll sleep more soundly in the Princely Heir’s villa."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "No need to awaken them, the distance is very near, if there really are evil beings from the Evil Sect intruding here, I can sense it."

Xiao Ruoling gently nodded.

——

Chu Zhiyuan led Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue as they drifted gracefully.

The three stopped on a mountaintop three miles away, standing on the peak and looking down over everything.

The moonlight was like water.

The mountains stood tall, the forests dense and deep.

Everything around was quiet.

In the moonlight, Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue appeared like fairies dusted from the world, radiant and jade-like, seemingly untouched by the mundane and worldly worries.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Beautiful scenery ahead."

Above there was beauty in the sky, beside him there was beauty as company.

He was in high spirits.

"Tonight’s moonlight is indeed beautiful."

Xiao Ruoling looked up at the night sky, her eyes becoming more dreamy, like mist, like smoke.

Shen Hanyue said, "The moon looks like a round cake, I almost want to swallow it in one bite!"

Xiao Ruoling gave her a helpless glance.

Shen Hanyue said, "I miss the round cake mom used to make, I wonder how she’s doing."

Xiao Ruoling said, "Rest assured, she’ll eventually agree to come back."

Shen Hanyue’s mother was stubborn, unable to return to Yao Yue Palace due to shame, and refused any persuasion.

This was already the sixth wave of people sent to persuade her.

"Sigh..." Shen Hanyue showed helplessness, sighing.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly let out a long howl: "Evil beings of the Evil Sect, come forth to meet your death!"

The howling and shouting spread out like waves, slowly unfolding and lingering.

Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue both looked at him in surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "In such moonlight, killing evil beings is best!"

"Indeed!" Shen Hanyue clapped her hands excitedly.

Xiao Ruoling chuckled softly, "I just fear they won’t take the bait."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Such vile beings cannot withstand this kind of provocation."

After speaking, he let out another long howl, "Evil beings of the Evil Sect, all gutless cowards!"

"Gutless cowards..."

"Gutless cowards..."

His voice even echoed, lingering for a long while.

"Courting death!"

"Heh!"

...

Amidst the cold laughs, figures shot over from afar.

They saw each other and the increasing number of people appearing, gaining courage.

In a short time, over twenty experts of the Evil Sect had appeared at the mountain’s base.

Chu Zhiyuan’s voice lingered and spread for miles.

The distant experts of the Evil Sect were already following the voice, rushing over.

Chu Zhiyuan once again let out a long howl, "Hurry and come forward to meet your death!"

His three voices were to give them a clear target destination.
