Chapter 1559: Chapter 1560: Sword Slays Demon Monarch

"Senior Sister, are we leaving just like that? Are we really not going to stay here a bit longer?"

Bai Huang looked at Yu Yanshu, who had just escorted Fang Qing to the vicinity and confirmed her safe arrival before preparing to leave without any intention of staying, and asked with incomprehension.

However, Yu Yanshu did not offer any explanations, simply continuing to conceal their presences as they headed towards less crowded areas.

Seeing this, Bai Huang felt somewhat helpless and muttered to himself: "Senior Sister, you have followed our Master for so long, how come you haven’t picked up any of Master’s personality? If Master were here, he would definitely take care of everything, making sure to visit each and every Madam."

"What’s the difference between seeing and not seeing? Do they want to see you, or me?"

Yu Yanshu’s response left Bai Huang at a loss for words. He tried to retort, but in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything.

"Those who know, know; no benefit comes from too much talk for those who don’t. Master’s affairs and situation are obviously something he doesn’t want them to worry about. If we pay a visit, it would only add to their troubles."

Having said that, Yu Yanshu’s gaze subconsciously shifted towards the residence of Lin Chuxue and others.

She was naturally aware of where they were staying, but in the end, she chose not to see them. It wasn’t that she did not want to, but rather she was unwilling to do so.

Not to mention others, when Su Chengyu was undergoing his trials in the Kunwu Realm, Yu Yanshu and Lin Chuxue had relied on each other for a long time at Qingcheng Sect, knowing each other thoroughly and sharing an excellent relationship. Logically, it made sense for her to visit, but she understood that doing so would only bring them more trouble.

"I am not Master. Master handles things by ensuring all bases are covered. If it’s something Master has in mind, even if he knows it’s impossible, he will still force himself to give it a try. I am not as confident, nor do I believe I have Master’s kind of good fortune. Being able not to cause trouble for others is good enough for me," Yu Yanshu stated.

Yu Yanshu’s words seemed to be an explanation to Bai Huang, but in reality, they were more of a persuasion to herself not to act on impulse at this time.

Although Bai Huang did not catch the deeper meaning, he could see Yu Yanshu’s attitude and could only say helplessly: "Alright, you are the Senior Sister, whatever you say is correct. I can’t beat you, and now it seems I can’t even win an argument against you."

Hearing this, Yu Yanshu turned back to glance at Bai Huang and spoke with a tone of disappointment: "The way you are now, you’re even worse than when I first met you in Dongying."

"Huh?"

Bai Huang raised his head in confusion, looking at Yu Yanshu for an explanation.

"Back then, although your heart was empty, consumed only by hatred, at least you weren’t as lost as you are now, unable to even find the road ahead."

"I..."

"No need to explain to me, it’s not you who’s supposed to rejuvenate the Qiuqiu Fox Clan."

Having said that, and as if remembering something, Yu Yanshu added: "Nor will it be your master."

Yu Yanshu then quickened her pace, and Bai Huang had no choice but to speed up to follow her.

After leaving the Capital City, the conversations between the two were not particularly frequent. Apart from Bai Huang proactively asking Yu Yanshu for advice on cultivation, a conversation like today’s was truly a first.

And it was this single exchange that made Bai Huang all the more aware of the gap between himself and his Senior Sister.

Even though he just claimed that she had not picked up even a smidgen of their Master’s ways, Bai Huang had a feeling that the gap between Yu Yanshu and Su Chengyu was narrowing.

"Senior Sister, what exactly is your strength now?"

After hesitating for a moment, pondering, Yu Yanshu still replied: "Capable of slaying a Demon Emperor."

"Isn’t that catching up with the teacher?"

Bai Huang voiced his astonishment, somewhat incredulously.

However, Yu Yanshu remained composed and shook her head: "Although Master’s realm is still at the Nascent Soul, even without a life or death struggle, ordinary Hollow Vacuum Cultivators would probably find it hard to deal with Master. According to my speculation, unless it’s a powerhouse at the Peak of the Hollow Void, even if Master can’t win, escaping should still be no problem."

If Su Chengyu were here to hear these words, he too would be extremely astonished.

Because when they were together, they hardly ever discussed issues related to their own strengths, yet Yu Yanshu’s judgment of Su Chengyu’s true strength was incredibly precise. Her insight was even more keen than that of ordinary Hollow Vacuum Cultivators.

Of course, part of this was due to Yu Yanshu’s deep understanding of Su Chengyu, and more so because of her increasingly uncontrollable divine eyes.

"Girl, there is a Demon Monarch lurking under the sea. Is this a common occurrence around here?"

Wan Qiu True Master’s words suddenly rang in Yu Yanshu’s ears, snapping her back to reality, to which she replied,

"Master has mentioned that the Eastern Six Provinces are places with the thinnest Spiritual Energy, and even Nascent Soul Level individuals are extremely rare on normal occasions. We did not encounter such a situation the last time we went to sea..."

"Understood."

Wan Qiu True Master was quick to speak and quickly grasped Yu Yanshu’s meaning, immediately taking action.

Yu Yanshu only felt several fierce Sword Qi whistling past her side. In just a few moments, the Sword Qi dove beneath the surface of the sea, and even with Yu Yanshu’s keen eyesight, she could only catch a glimpse of the sword light flashing momentarily before it completely dissipated into nothingness.

It was not until Wan Qiu True Master had dealt with the lurking Demon Monarch that Yu Yanshu spoke up: "Thank you for your efforts, True Master."

"It is part of my duties, but did you, girl, manage to see the trace of my swordsmanship?"

"I caught a glimpse, but I did not perceive the full picture,"

Yu Yanshu did not dare to deceive and answered honestly, knowing that being sincere was the most important way of interaction in front of a senior of this level.

"Not bad at all. Let alone you, how many of those Nascent Soul Cultivators who claim to have begun their ascent can see my sword shadow? Your talent is indeed good; have you any interest in learning my swordsmanship?"

Yu Yanshu immediately shook her head and responded: "I already have a teacher and dare not study another’s swordsmanship or Daoism Method without permission."

"Why be so rigid? I just want to teach swordsmanship, not take on disciples. If your master dares to blame you in the future, I will go and reason with him on your behalf."

Yu Yan’er still desperately shook her head: "I appreciate your kind offer, senior, but please do not ask me to learn swordsmanship again."

"You girl, you speak as if I am forcing you to learn my sword techniques. Do you know how many people in this world want to learn my swordsmanship, enough to line up from the Eastern Six Provinces to the Capital City! Moreover, haven’t you always wanted to help your cheap teacher? With my swordsmanship combined with your talent, as long as you do not face someone two realms above you, you can certainly fight for your life!"

Yu Yanshu, surprised, looked up: "Senior means to say that, with my current strength, I could kill Nascent Soul Cultivators at the peak of their realm?"

"Of course! Let alone Nascent Soul, even those Hollow Vacuum cultivators with unsolid foundations, those at the early stages, can be killed just the same."

Bai Huang, listening to this conversation, furrowed his brow slightly and said: "Senior, we know your swordsmanship is outstanding, but aren’t you boasting a bit too much?"

"Don’t believe me? Then I’ll open your eyes right now. Hide your presence and watch; I will soon face my enemies with the strength of the Golden Core Realm."

Just as the words of Wan Qiu True Master fell, Yu Yanshu realized that a group of Demon Clan members were ferociously approaching from the sea surface.
