Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Sitting in meditation and adjusting her breath, Mei Yingxue suddenly opened her eyes and discovered she had unknowingly returned to the Third Emei Mountain in a time loop.

Yan Yu stood beside her, showing a "still the elder brother is more skilled" kind of rueful expression.

Although they had fought desperately to break the giant golden copper bell, that Daoist clearly attributed the anger of "ruining my big plans" to him, so much so that he couldn't care less about continuing to battle Elder Tian Yue and turned to make him taste the horror of being devoured by ten thousand insects.

Fortunately, Yan Yu made an immediate decision and directly "killed himself" to successfully thwart the opponent's vile intentions.

Upon hearing Yan Yu recount the situation, Mei Yingxue also found it quite tricky and said:

"If we want to take the mountain defense route, we must maximize the effectiveness of the Township Formation. If the opponent possesses a Magic Treasure that suppresses the formation, then the feasibility of the mountain defense route will be very problematic."

"No, it won't," Yan Yu refuted her conclusion, "This experience precisely proves that the mountain defense route is completely feasible. Don't forget, in the judgment of the Sun True Dullness Sword, I broke that giant golden copper bell in the end."

He wasn't sure whether this giant golden copper bell truly existed in the timeline of the Cultivation World.

However, considering that the Shushan Shangqing Sect ultimately adopted a strategy of breaking up and going into hiding, it represents that even if the Demon Cult had a giant golden copper bell to suppress the Wan Jian Formation, no one knew its specific Magic Treasure hardness or whether it could be broken by the full strike of a Golden Core Sword Immortal.

Yan Yu breaking the giant golden copper bell in the dreamscape represented that the subconscious of the Sun True Dullness Sword deemed this bell not indestructible.

"According to your description," Mei Yingxue sighed, "Even if you could break the bell, it's absolutely impossible to return alive to Emei; this strategy route still cannot be advanced."

"If you're really confident, why don't we make a bet?" Yan Yu laughed, "Next, we'll still choose mountain defense, and this time the giant golden copper bell won't be a problem for us."

With Mr. Mei's personality, he actually didn't like betting, but lately, there was something he had been wracking his brains over, which was how, after Yan Yu successfully obtained the Divine Sword, he could serve by the Divine Sword's side and constantly listen to its precious guidance?

The Divine Sword belonged to the sword master; frequently seeking guidance from the Divine Sword equated to constantly disturbing the sword master. Mei Yingxue felt embarrassed to trouble others, but since there was now a reason to bet, she immediately blurted out:

"If I win, how about you let me stay at your place long-term?"

Yan Yu: ?

"No," he explained with a smile, "it's not that you're unwelcome, Mr. Mei, you know the situation at my place, there's no spare room anymore."

"I can sleep on the sofa," Mei Yingxue insisted.

Kwa, as long as I can serve the Sun True Dullness Sword, don't say sleeping on the sofa, even sleeping on the floor is no problem meh!

"Uh, okay." Yan Yu thought to himself, anyway, you can't win, "then if I win..."

He pondered for a while, then smiled and said:

"Then after I acquire the Sun True Dullness Sword, you must frequently seek advice from it on swordsmanship questions, then write down your insights and compile them into a Sword Control Technique textbook to distribute freely for all government-trained Sword Immortals nationwide to enjoy, how about that?"

Mei Yingxue was stunned for a long time, and suddenly her gaze toward Yan Yu became gentle.

Always an emotionless steel-hearted woman suddenly showing such a tender, watery gaze had Yan Yu feeling at a loss, and he hurriedly explained:

"Actually, I just couldn't think of any other condition, so I might as well do some Merit in the process."

"I know," Mei Yingxue gratefully said, "that's what I appreciate about you."

"Don't be like that, Mr. Mei, it's not that big a deal," Yan Yu quickly urged her to calm down, seeing her like this was truly intimidating, "we are all serving the country and the people, for the country and the people."

After much effort, he convinced Mr. Mei to accept his goodwill, and the two once again used Sword Control to take flight, entering the plot.

This time, they still advocated for mountain defense, and the Sect Leader along with the Elders agreed without saying much.

Wan Jian Formation, activate!

Pursue the sky, defend the mountain, activate!

In just a moment, the disciples of the Demon Cult within the formation engaged in fierce battle with the defending Shushan Sword Immortals.

The Wan Jian Formation was indeed sharp; the demonic cultivators of the Demon Cult, lacking in combat techniques, were sliced by Sword Qi on the first encounter. Soon enough, they also brought out the golden bell Magic Artifact to produce waves of tangible sound waves, trying to resist the Sword Qi.

Mei Yingxue eliminated her opponent, glanced towards the direction of the giant golden copper bell, and then turned to look at Yan Yu.

Before Yan Yu could speak, he only heard Elder Tian Yue shouting:

"That golden bell is really annoying, is there anyone willing to go with me to destroy it?"

"I'm willing to battle alongside the Elder!" A Golden Core True Man immediately stepped forward and shouted.

"Good!" Tian Yue immediately wrapped the Golden Core True Man's sword light with his own and flew towards the direction of the golden bell.

Mei Yingxue: ..........

She showed a stunned and thoughtful expression, and only after a long while slowly asked:

"Why?"

"Because the Sun True Dullness Sword doesn't need us to save the Shushan Shangqing Sect." Yan Yu explained, "What it truly wants is to find out whether Shushan back then could possibly be saved."

Mei Yingxue remained silent for a long time before finally understanding the relationship here, unable to help but sigh and said:

"I lost; this Divine Sword's personality sure is convoluted."

"Who could deny it," Yan Yu once again looked toward the distance, "I've already provided the solution to dealing with the giant golden copper bell, and I didn't use the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword throughout. So if it were the Shushan Sword Immortals at the time, they also had a chance to resolve it."

"In the plot of this dreamscape, it can definitely be resolved," Mei Yingxue affirmingly said, "because the crisis the Shushan Shangqing Sect faced back then wasn't merely limited to the major formation's suppression; the Divine Sword certainly needs us to solve other problems."
