Chapter 99: The Divine Musician's Manuscript!

  A swarm of bees flew up, like a cloud of ink swirling around the water's surface in a circle, leaving Xu Wanjun and others helpless, then turned their heads to fly towards other people.

  Others followed suit, one after another jumping into the water.

  "Little brat, are you trying to get us killed?!" As soon as Xiao Yun spoke up, Ji Yunwen felt something was off and immediately cursed.

  As expected, the swarm of Emperor Bees lost their target and directly flew towards the location where Xiao Yun and others were. Just now, Xiao Yun's loud shout had exposed their position.

  The imperial bee swarm covered the sky and obscured the sun, with a majestic momentum, the buzzing sound was like thunder, there were tens of thousands of them, if not hundreds of thousands, the scene was extremely frightening.

  Several people's faces turned pale, and Ji Yunwen waved his hand, "Withdraw back into the forest!"

  There is a maze in the forest, perhaps it can be used to resist these imperial bees.

  "What's there to be afraid of? Let me handle it!"

  Hong Ke Xin shouted, not only did she not retreat, but instead stood out even more fiercely, directly picking up the "Xuan Yuan Huang Zhong Fu", with a heroic spirit infusing it, the scroll unfolded to reveal a dense golden light.

  "Hiss!"

  "The Xuan Yuan Huang Zhong Fu" unfolded like an imperial edict, with golden notes flying out of the scroll and heading straight for the swarm of menacing Imperial Bees.

  Golden light flashed, and the sky and earth faintly echoed with waves of bell ringing. Those notes quickly gathered in one place, forming a huge yellow bell that floated in mid-air, spinning rapidly without stopping.

  "Roar!" "Roar!"

  With two earth-shaking roars, the two divine dragons embroidered on the scroll burst out and charged straight at the large yellow bell in mid-air.

  Bang!

  A single bell tolls, echoing through heaven and earth, as if from ancient times, with unparalleled majesty, unparalleled desolation.

  The sound wave shook out, and a large number of imperial bees were directly turned into powder. The bell echoed in the valley, shaking down the rocks on both sides of the mountain, which did not stop for a long time.

  The remaining imperial bee swarm, as if being intimidated by the yellow bell's majesty, had completely lost its previous arrogance and frenzy, rolling up a black cloud, buzzing away from the valley.

  "The saint's handwritten script is truly extraordinary!"

  Witnessing this scene, including Xiao Yun, everyone's mouth was agape. The power of "Xuan Yuan Huang Zhong Fu" had indeed surpassed their imagination.

  The yellow bell dissolves, re-forming into individual notes that quickly disperse between heaven and earth. Hong Ke Xin withdraws the scroll in her hand, the golden light on the scroll slowly fading away before quickly returning to its original state.

  "What a pity, this consumption is too big!"

  Hong Kexin plopped down on the ground, panting heavily with her mouth wide open. Her face was deathly pale, and just from that one move, the powerful energy inside her body had been completely depleted. The power of the Le Saint's manual was great, but its consumption was also enormous.

  "Are you okay?" Xiao Yun hastily grabbed Hong Ke Xin's arm and tried to pull her up, but surprisingly couldn't lift her.

  "It's nothing, just feeling a bit drained."

  Hong Ke Xin weakly shook her head, and after a while, some color returned to her face. With Xiao Yun's support, she stood up.

  "Little fatty!" Ji Yunwen leaned over.

  "What's going on?" Hong Kexin turned to Ji Yunwen, looking at this old man's eyes, seemingly with some ill intentions.

  Yan Yunwen chuckled and shook the Buddhist bell in his hand, "Little fatty, look, I'll exchange this thousand-Buddha bell for your 'Xuanyuan Huang Zhong Fu', how about it?"

  Yan Yunwen wore a calm face, as if she didn't feel the slightest bit of the disdainful gazes around her. "Don't underestimate this thousand-Buddha chime, it's a rare treasure..."

  "Whatever, I'm not doing it. I'm not a monk, what's the point of giving me this broken thing? You'd better keep it for yourself!" Hong Kexin threw him a white eye without any courtesy, having expected that this old man with a thick face would definitely not have anything good to offer.

  Yan Yunwen's whiskers twitched, "That's the handwriting of Music Saint, you take a look at yourself, it's so hard to display, what's the point of holding it? It's better to give it to me. If you don't think much of this Thousand Buddha Chime, that's fine too. What do you like? Just say it, I'll definitely satisfy you."

  Le Saint's handwritten book, that is a rare treasure containing sacred power, can be said to be more precious than Lebao's treasures. Even if Ji Yunwen was used to seeing treasures, he couldn't help but covet the "Xuanyuan Huangzhong Fu" in Hong Kexin's hand, and his heart was filled with some regret. If he had known earlier, he should have ventured into the immortal path at that time.

  "I don't like anything, so just give up." Hong Kexin pouted and turned her face to one side.

  Yan Yunwen looked at Xiao Yun, and a sly smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He pointed directly at Xiao Yun and said to Hong Kexin, "I know, you must like this kid, right? As long as you're willing to give me that 'Music Saint' handwritten book, I'll immediately ask Emperor Xia for an imperial decree to grant your marriage when I get back!"

  Xiao Yunru was struck by lightning!

  Hong Ke Xin's facial expression was also exceptionally colorful, first white, then red, and finally black as green, Ji Yun Wen's words were really unbearable to hear, how could a big girl like her accept it.

  Ashamed and angry, Hong Ke Xin stomped her foot, "You old man, if you speak nonsense again, be careful I'll use Ao to shout you to death!"

  "Uh, you guys chat, I'll leave first!"

  It's not suitable to stay here for long, Xiao Yun shrunk his neck and hurriedly opened up, running towards the riverbank in a fleeing manner.

  Hong Ke Xin saw Xiao Yun run away and felt even more humiliated. She glared at Ji Yun Wen with anger in her eyes.

  Yan Yunwen's face twitched, and she was actually stared at by Hong Kexin, making her scalp feel a little numb.

  ——

  "Come out, it's all right!" Xiaoyun walked to the riverbank and shouted into the river.

  "Whoosh!"

  A large splash of water rose, and one by one, heads emerged from the water, their faces filled with panic-stricken expressions. They looked around in all directions, confirming that the bombers had flown away, before finally landing ashore with a lingering sense of fear.

  "Xiao Shixiong, how did you end up here?" The five members of the Tianyin Sect gathered around Xiao Yun's side, Lin Chuyin asked with a mix of delight and puzzlement.

  "What a coincidence!" Xiao Yun said noncommittally, "What are you doing here too?"

  Xu Wanjun said, "We saw several sects coming this way, so we followed them over. Who would have thought that we almost lost our lives!"

  Xiao Yun scanned around and said, "Why are there just five of you?"

  Everyone's face fell, and they felt a bit downcast for a moment.

  Meng Xiaobao said, "Lu Shixiong and Qin Shixiong didn't follow us, you left again, leaving only the six of us. Six days ago, we found a relic, when breaking through the formation, Lu Shixiong died in the formation, I and Gu Shixiong were also injured by the sword formation."

  Lu Shixiong, it was Lu Qi after all. When they were choosing the team leader, Lu Qi even voted for Xiao Yun once. Although the two didn't have much interaction, they were fellow disciples after all. Upon hearing of his death, Xiao Yun felt a pang of regret in her heart.

  Her gaze fell on Lin Chunyin, whose delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed. The place where her right hand was stung by the Emperor's Bee had already become a large patch of red swelling, with black blood oozing out.

  "You'd better get this injury treated right away!"

  Xiao Yun grasped Lin Chu Yin's hand and carefully pulled out the bee stinger that was stuck in her flesh, "Bear with it!"

  Rin nodded slightly.

  Xiao Yun squeezed the wound with force, squeezing out the toxic blood. The intense pain made Lin Chuoyin clench her teeth tightly, and her whole body was trembling.

  "Alright!" Squeezing out the toxic blood, Xiao Yun took out an antidote pill and handed it to Lin Chu Yin.

  "Thank you, Senior Xiao!" Lin Chuoyin looked at Xiao Yun with gratitude, swallowed the medicine pill and went to the riverbank to clean her wound.

  Xiao Yun turned around and saw that there were not a few corpses lying around, each one mutilated by the swarm of bees to the point where they were no longer recognizable as human. Encountering such a group of thugs, even if one's strength was greater, would still lead to disaster.

  "How did you provoke the Emperor's bees?" asked Xiao Yun.

  Xu Wanjun smiled wryly, "We didn't want to provoke them, it's all because of those people from the Flowing Cloud Sect."

  "Huh?"

  Xiao Yun turned around and saw that there were indeed many sects gathered in this valley, including the Longcheng Music Pavilion, Tianmu Sect, Zhongwang Palace, Liuyun Sect, Qixia Music Pavilion, and even the Tianyin Sect. Almost half of all the sects had assembled here. Xiao Yun also caught sight of Gao Tianhen, a man who inspired intense dislike in those who saw him.

  Liuyun Sect and Tianyin Sect are almost the same, can only be considered a small sect. Except for Gao Tianhen, there are only four disciples left. In these few days, Liuyun Sect's losses are also quite significant.
