The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 1001: The Sect Intervenes

Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001: The Sect Intervenes

"You wench, you’re asking for death!"

Wang Batian stood a towering one meter eighty-nine, with a robust physique akin to that of an ox, and a vicious scar across his face.

Clad in golden armor, he fixed his gaze on Ji Wanyu and cursed coldly before turning to instruct someone behind him, "Second brother, go and see what this wench is made of."

"Understood!"

A man licked the corner of his mouth and, armed with a black trident, stepped onto the air.

This man actually possessed the cultivation level of the initial stage of Core Formation, a master in his own right, yet here he was, playing bandit in the river.

Regardless of the era, opposing the official residence to gain profit was always the most foolish, most desperate act.

Given his cultivation level, he could have easily found a better job in any province.

He sneered at Ji Wanyu, "I am Sun... the Second in Command of the Milky Way Gang..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Wanyu sent a sword strike his way.

The Sword Qi was fierce, roaring as it flew.

The Second in Command screamed in fright, "How dare you not follow the rules?"

He raised his trident to block, summoning a surge of water vapor as a barrier.

But what power the Emperor Yu’s Sword held; it was a true Earth Immortal Sword.

With overwhelming Sword Qi, a single move stirred up the wind and clouds in all directions.

With a splutter, the Second in Command’s trident broke in half, and he himself was disintegrated into a mist of blood by the Emperor Yu’s Sword Qi.

"My God?"

"This little wench is incredibly fierce!"

"Who are they?"

The group of water bandits on the warship were thoroughly startled, even Wang Batian’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He shouted at Ji Wanyu, "All you cultivators above, listen up! I am a lay disciple of the Songshan Sect from Yuzhou, and this is a mundane struggle, not your business. Leave immediately, and I won’t hold you accountable. Otherwise, the Songshan Sect will never let you off."

Ji Wanyu laughed disdainfully, "So you, with your cultivation level, can claim king over the Yellow River because you have the backing of the Songshan Sect? A mere second-rate sect, and you dare threaten me, a princess?"

"Princess?"

The bandits all looked at each other with widened eyes.

Seeing his threats fail, Wang Tianba exploded with rage at his men, "Dammit, giving face but not wanting face!"

He flung a feather arrow, not targeting Ji Wanyu, but towards the shore.

The feather arrow flew swiftly, tracing a red streak across the sky, seemingly signaling for reinforcements.

The command banner on the flagship waved, and the retreat was ordered—gold was sounded, and the troops pulled back.

Ji Wanyu roared, "Cowards, afraid to come up for a fight?"

Wang Batian cursed, "You wench, thinking you can do as you please just because you’re a cultivator? Just wait, my senior brother will be here shortly to deal with you."

"I’ll use you to christen my sword first."

Ji Wanyu’s sword soared, slicing down towards Wang Batian in the air.

Wang Batian bellowed, "Activate the array!"

A Mysterious Light flashed, and soon a Mysterious Light enveloped the entire warship from bow to stern.

The Immortal Sword’s Sword Qi struck down, and with a swish, it rippled across the surface.

Ripples spread instantaneously on the array’s barrier, like a sword slashing into water.

This warship was formidable, equipped with a Defense Formation, substantially stronger than the official warships.

The sword may be an Immortal Sword, but Ji Wanyu couldn’t unleash its full power.

The power of the ship’s formation was immense, relying on the current, and with Ji Wanyu’s cultivation level, she couldn’t break through it from afar.

Wang Batian and his group of brothers mocked and laughed loudly from above, "Little lady, you are greatly underestimating our Five Lakes Gang. We have roamed the Yellow River for many years; do you really think you can defeat us alone?"

Suddenly, streaks of light flashed across the sky.

A group of white-robed cultivators arrived, stepping on longswords, each landing on the deck of the warship.

Lin Shanshan watched with great enjoyment, feeling like she was watching an immortal-hero blockbuster, with cannons firing and sword flying.

These disciples clearly had an extraordinary aura, and were all in the Late Stage of Core Formation.

After they landed, Wang Batian and his men immediately went over to give a fist-and-palm salute, showing utmost reverence.

From behind, seeing this, Wang Shouren immediately ordered the sounding of the gong to recall the troops, standing off a hundred meters away from the water bandits.

He stepped forward through the air, protecting Ji Wanyu and quickly urged her, "Your Royal Highness The Princess, these people are experts from the Songshan Sect. We cannot defeat them by force. We should return and ask the governor to request support from our sect."

Ji Wanyu was not convinced and retorted, "Why bother, these trash are not enough for this princess to slaughter!"

On the warship, the cultivators who had arrived to reinforce heard what Wang Batian had said, and one by one, they rose into the air.

Wang Batian, feeling triumphant, followed closely behind, shouting loudly at Ji Wanyu, "Little lady, watch closely. This is Li Xuan, disciple of the Head of Songshan Sect. If you know what’s good for you, leave quickly and don’t make trouble here."

Ji Wanyu and Li Xuan locked eyes, and she scolded with a delicate voice, "Li Xuan, you too are a cultivator of a sect, so why are you mingling with these bandits?"

Li Xuan’s face reddened, and he retorted at Ji Wanyu, "Who I mingle with is none of your business. Which sect’s cultivator are you, and why are you not following the rules, meddling in worldly affairs?"

Liuu Jiangnan explained to Long Fei behind him that the sect powers in this world must not intervene in worldly matters.

Like today, when government troops were suppressing bandits.

No matter how high the cultivation level of the commanders of the government troops, if they belonged to the government and were dealing with the water bandits, they could not act under the banner of their sect.

Otherwise, it would inevitably lead to strife between the sects.

If one side requested sect participation in the battle, it would break the rules, and the other side would inevitably seek support from their own backers.

All the sects of the world are one family, and only when the conflict becomes irreconcilable will the royal family and the sects step in to mediate.

Small water bandits like Wang Batian could not cause such a stir.

According to Liuu Jiangnan, there were Ten Great Bandits in the Great Xia Country, all of whom were at the Nascent Soul Realm.

These Ten Great Bandits, although highly cultivated, mingled amongst the worldly crowds.

They had deep connections with all the major sects, and whenever they took action, it was like pulling one hair and moving the whole body, causing the forces at the top to become involved.

Ji Wanyu, looking down on Li Xuan, said, "My status is not for you to know. If you’ve got the guts, come out and fight, and stop prattling like a woman."

"Arrogant!"

Angered by her words, Li Xuan cursed and stepped forward, raising his hand to summon a Magic Artifact that radiated mysterious light and floated in mid-air.

This Magic Artifact was a Bronze Bell, the bell mouth fashioned in a lotus flower design, engraved with a Monk sitting in a lotus position.

Murong Chong narrowed his eyes in surprise, "The Bodhidharma Bell of Songshan?"

Li Xuan laughed proudly, "Correct, you have quite the eye for detail."

Liuu Jiangnan scorned, "This Songshan Sect really holds these water bandits in high regard, bringing their sect’s treasured artifact to the rescue."

Long Fei was curious, thinking that this cultivator clearly dressed like a Taoist priest, so why did he bring a Monk’s Magic Artifact here?

This Songshan Sect, could it be related to Monks as well?

The material of this object was extraordinary, seemingly an Earth Immortal Magical Treasure, on the same level as Emperor Yu’s Sword.

Li Xuan sneered at Ji Wanyu, "You ignorant little Yellow Hair, do you still dare to make a move?"

Ji Wanyu shouted defiantly, "Who do you think you are to talk like that? Don’t think I’d be afraid of you just because you hold a broken bell!"

She swirled her sword and slashed out a streak of Sword Qi toward Li Xuan.

The Sword Qi was formidable, pressing forward, forcing everyone behind Li Xuan to use their Essential Qi to protect their bodies, their skin feeling hot and painful all over.
