Chapter 459: The Fairy of the Cold Moon

After the battle at Wan’an Temple, many were concerned about the developments of the six major sects and the Ming Sect. The death of Master Exterminator did not disrupt the normal operations of the Emei Sect. Upon returning to Emei, Zhou Zhiruo quickly took on the role of sect leader and advanced directly from the Life and Death Realm to the Liberation Realm! Her rapid ascent in cultivation level was truly astonishing!

Additionally, the number of tasks assigned by the Emei Sect soared—its weakened status attracted the hostility of local villains, leading to frequent provocations and the disappearance of its disciples. Faced with this situation, Zhou Zhiruo decisively increased the number of tasks and supported many inner sect disciples to protect the Emei Sect’s surroundings.

……

“How is it that our Emei Sect is so unlucky? Even when practicing cultivation, we can’t have peace—enemies keep appearing, along with powerful evil sect experts.”

“That’s right. If it weren’t for my quick wits yesterday, huh, I’d have become one of the ‘Black and White Fiends’’ victims… There are more and more NPCs in the Liberation Realm. I wonder if there will be experts in the Wuwei Realm everywhere soon.”

“We can’t control those. I just want to know if those Black and White Fiends have left today. If they’re still there, we’ll have to find another place.” At the foot of the Emei Sect, several female players sighed as they headed toward their usual training area.

It was the territory of the Golden-Armed Ape!

The Golden-Armed Ape was a spiritual beast of the Life and Death Realm. When fully extended, its body was larger than a human’s, covered in dense and tough golden fur, providing high defense. It had rapid movement skills, long arms, and innate strength, allowing it to easily tear apart tigers and leopards. What was more valuable was that these Golden-Armed Apes were said to be regulars in the Emei Sect’s treasure trove, often stealing and learning the sect’s martial arts. Thus, killing them could yield some inferior or superior martial arts manuals, and their fur was also an excellent material for crafting high-grade armor.

……

“Huh?”

Before the group could approach the Golden-Armed Ape’s territory, they suddenly heard intense fighting sounds in the distance, accompanied by strange, continuous whistling noises.

“Is someone there?”

“Let’s go take a look.”

Most of the Emei Sect’s disciples were female players. Seeing people in what was usually a deserted area belonging to the Golden-Armed Ape, they immediately felt a strong sense of curiosity and gossiping desire.

After a while, the group saw two black and two white figures in the forest, along with two golden and two silver rings flying up and down, rapidly intersecting between the two figures as they fought fiercely.

“The Black and White Fiends!”

“It’s her…”

The group suddenly stopped. One of the beautiful women exclaimed in surprise, staring at the woman fighting against the Black and White Fiends, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
“Sister Yue, do you know her?” A few people around her glanced at the figure in the woods, then quickly scanned the man and woman watching the fight, looking puzzled.
“Black Rose.”
Yue Hua added, “The head of the Black Rose family, and also a disciple of our Emei Sect… There’s another from the Black Rose family named Yu Shanshu—you should know her.”
“Yu Shanshu, the one who mastered the Ancient Tomb’s ‘Jade Maiden Sword Technique’ and ‘Ice Soul Silver Needle’.” At Yue Hua’s reminder, the female players around her showed expressions of surprise.
Behind the crowd, a girl was deeply moved by the name Black Rose:
“She’s Black Rose? No way… How could she have become so strong?”
“Black Rose? The one who competed with Sister Yue Hua for the title of Emei’s top disciple…” The others suddenly realized that among the former Emei Sect disciples, there had been one whose strength was comparable to Yue Hua’s, and they had competed several times without her winning. They never expected her to have grown so powerful now.
“What weapons and martial arts is she using? They look so unique…”
“…So amazing!”
Black Rose wore golden armor, intricately designed and looking extremely heroic!
Silver rings protected her body, while golden rings were used for attacks—either thrown as projectiles or used directly in combat—all in perfect coordination.
Under the attacks of the Black and White Fiends, she moved with ease!
The Black and White Fiends were masters at the Liberation Realm…
Yue Hua clearly remembered how struggling she was when she encountered those two formidable foes yesterday. If not for the help of two sisters, she would have been killed. Unexpectedly, after just two months, her former opponent could now effortlessly withstand the assault of two Liberation Realm masters.
One could imagine the disappointment in Yue Hua’s heart!
“Who’s that man beside her? Yu Shanshu seems quite interested in him…”
At the reminder of her sisters, Yue Hua finally noticed the man standing outside the circle, wearing a conical hat and dressed in green robes. Yu Shanshu, looking like a petite woman, kept talking to him, occasionally smiling. The two of them seemed to be chatting amiably.
Her body trembled slightly as Yue Hua stared at the man’s figure for several seconds before suddenly seeming to understand something. She said, “Let’s go over there and meet them.”
“Huh?”
The Emei Sect disciples were stunned but saw Yue Hua already stepping forward, bypassing the Black and White Fiends, and heading toward the man and woman across from them.
“Sister Yue, are you okay?”

“I don’t know. Black Rose used to have a bad relationship with Sister Yue. Let’s hurry over there and make sure nothing goes wrong.”
“Mm.”
……
“The Golden and Silver Rings are Qimen martial arts; it’s very difficult to master them well. Achieving both offense and defense seamlessly is even harder. I didn’t expect Sister Rose to reach this level in just over a month—her control is impressive.”
The man remarked with admiration.
Yu Shanshu smiled brightly: “It’s also thanks to the martial arts and weapons you provided. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have achieved this result. My sister even said she wants to find a chance to thank you. Without your help, we wouldn’t have been able to gather all the golden components…”
“Hehe, equipment is just meant to be used, right?”
“Anyway, whether it’s for our sisters or for Sister Rose, we need to thank you.”
“We’re all on the same side—there’s no need for such formalities.”
As she spoke, Kai Xin suddenly noticed a group of Emei Sect disciples passing by and heading straight this way, which surprised her.
……
The Emei Sect female disciples chased halfway before suddenly seeing a man and a woman on the other side looking their way.
To their even greater surprise, the man took off his hat that covered his face and greeted Yue Hua with a cheerful smile, calling out from afar:
“So it’s Miss Yue. What a coincidence.”
“Oh, it really is you. After disappearing from Wan’an Temple, I never expected to see you at our Emei Sect. What a coincidence.” Yue Hua’s straightforward reply made the other sisters realize the two seemed familiar, and they relaxed.
However, Yue Hua’s words sparked their curiosity…
It seems Sister Yue Hua is interested in this handsome and attractive man—she seems very attentive to him.
“Come, let me introduce you to them…”
“No need. We already know each other,” Yue Hua interrupted the young man, smiling at Yu Shanshu. “Right, Shanshu?”
Yu Shanshu nodded and smiled: “Yue Hua, known as the ‘Fairy of Cold Moon’ of the Emei Sect. I’ve long heard of your fame.”
“These are my sisters—Jingjing, Qingqing, Qing’er…”
The young man and Yu Shanshu nodded one by one.
Only then did Yue Hua introduce the mysterious young man to the group of sisters who had been looking forward to it for a long time:
“This is the person you all talk about constantly—the center of all the gossip, the number one among the famous ones.”
“…”
Jingjing’s eyes widened as she blinked repeatedly, unable to believe it.
“…”
Qingqing and Qing’er were so shocked that they hugged each other, covering their mouths with their small fists:
Kai Xin!
