Chapter 46 44. Fairy, you don't want to either...
The Sword Sect was situated in the northern part of this world known as the Heavenly Origin Continent, established above Sea Moon City and close to the frontline of the demon tribes. Therefore, whenever the demon tribes invaded, it was also when the disciples of the Sword Sect suffered the most casualties.
Besides the Sword Sect, the other seven top sects lined up like stars encircling the moon, seemingly surrounding in a siege posture, dotting various places across the continent, and enclosing Dawn City, which seemed as if it stood atop the world, at their center.
As for the area north of the Sword Sect, that was the territory of the demon tribes.
The big sun lifted from the midst of the azure mountains, and the daylight surged like the sea, covering the entire world.
And under that dazzling firmament, two streaks of sword light seemed to blend into the scenery, moving forward as if adorned with stars and moons.
After a while, one of the Charming Shadows suddenly stopped in an open wilderness.
"We're here."
Liu Ruoxue bowed her head slightly, and if one listened carefully, they could even hear a slight tremble in her cold, tranquil voice.
She hesitated, unsure whether she should let this Outer Domain Demon enter the Sword Sect.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Xu Yuan looked up and scanned his surroundings, but he found nothing.
"The Sword Sect is here? Where?"
He asked curiously.
This question he wasn't feigning; he genuinely didn't know. After all, the game didn't provide much of a description about the eight leading sects within human territories.
He only knew that the Sword Sect was divided into the Yin and Yang Branches.
Where the Yang Branch was the domain inhabited by male disciples, the Yin Branch was the region for female disciples.
"Before we move on, I must ask you a question first."
Liu Ruoxue took a deep breath, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on him: "Can you really ensure that even my Master won't detect your illusion?"
If discovered, she would certainly be implicated as well.
"You need not worry about that."
Xu Yuan replied with a faint smile, "As long as there's no close physical contact, even a Primordial Spirit-stage expert would not notice."
Otherwise, there would have been no need to risk being detected by Tian Liuli and Lin Qingque in devising a plan to acquire this treasure.
As he spoke, there was not a hint of boasting, but for some reason, Liu Ruoxue always felt that he was quite proud of himself.
"Don't you want to know your Master's secrets anymore?"
Midsentence, Xu Yuan suddenly revealed an expression of realization.
"I understand, Fairy. You're worried that after finding out about your Master's matters, you're afraid she is indeed not as good as you imagined, right?"
Xu Yuan looked at her somewhat sympathetically and said, "But Fairy... I have already recorded our previous conversation, you know. Fairy Liu, you wouldn't want the fact that you betrayed your Sect to be known, would you?"
"You!?"
Liu Ruoxue was a mix of shock and rage: "When did this happen? I wasn't aware."
Xu Yuan's gaze rested beneath her plain white dress, his smile mocking: "What do you think... when could it have been? If your Master were to witness such a scene, what do you think would happen?"
"Shameless..."
Liu Ruoxue's body began to tremble slightly, the ancient sword tied at her waist ringing incessantly, seeming ready to unsheathe at any moment.
"Fairy, it would be better to calm down, if this place truly is the location of the Sword Sect, every word and move we make could be noticed at any time."
"You?!"
Liu Ruoxue's beautiful face changed, and after a few deep breaths, she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she had regained her usual unruffled demeanor.
However, beneath that calm surface, the undercurrents raged.
Watching her turn around, form a hand seal, and cast out a spiritual light, obediently revealing the location of the Sword Sect, Xu Yuan smiled faintly then followed her.
He had realized that Liu Ruoxue's recent gestures actually had an ulterior motive.
It seemed like she had suddenly changed her mind, but in reality, she only wanted to pry more secrets about her Master from him.
However, she did not want to bring it up herself and let him sense her true purpose.
She would rather have him volunteer the information, using secrets to silence her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been foolish enough to talk about regretting her actions at the doorstep of the Sword Sect.
If things got out of hand, it would not be good for either of them.
Liu Ruoxue was not someone to be indecisive.
Having decided to do something, she would naturally stick to her path to the end.
It's just that Xu Yuan didn't have many secrets left to use as leverage.
So, since she wanted to feign ignorance, he was only too happy to go with the flow, pretending he hadn't noticed her intentions.
