Chapter 2212: Chapter 2209: I Will Protect Her

Yiyi heard the words, her face froze.

The complexity only made her instinctively call out "Moon Venerate Supreme."

The Moon Venerate Martial Saint sneered, "Hold on, this title ’Supreme’ is not something I can bear."

"Moon Venerate Supreme." The two title elders’ expressions changed, wanting to say something.

"Nonsense." The Moon Venerate Martial Saint’s eyes grew cold, "When I speak, when has it ever been your turn, juniors, to interrupt?"

"Calm your anger, Supreme." The two title elders quickly bowed and fell silent.

Outside the Holy Moon Hall, there remained only one person standing tall.

It was Xiao Yi.

And the gaze of the Moon Venerate Martial Saint grew colder, "Master Xiao Yi? Ha, what, coming to visit my Holy Moon Sect today, do you also intend to cause a commotion?"

Xiao Yi sneered, "What? Can’t cause a commotion?"

"You..." A flash of killing intent passed through the Moon Venerate Martial Saint’s eyes.

But that flash of killing intent dissipated quickly.

Before him, this young man was completely unafraid of his killing intent.

The identity of this young man in front of him was sufficient to meet his gaze as equals.

"Seems unwelcome..." Xiao Yi said with indifference.

"Wait, who said unwelcome?" A figure swiftly flew in through the air.

The figure landed, it was the Elder Sheng Yue.

"Elder?" The Moon Venerate Martial Saint glanced coldly.

"Supreme Elder." Elder Sheng Yue bowed.

The Moon Venerate Martial Saint’s face remained cold, his tone sinister, "Earlier, it seemed someone wanted to defy my wishes, a bunch of juniors dare even..."

Elder Sheng Yue interrupted, "The Moon Venerate Supreme misunderstood, I definitely wouldn’t dare defy you even slightly, Supreme."

"But the Holy Daughter is the Young Sect Master appointed by the Saint Lord."

"Though you are highly esteemed, when it comes to dealing with sect matters, aside from the Sect Master, I have the greatest authority."

"If one were to speak of driving away the sect’s Young Sect Master, I would never allow it, regardless of who it is."

In the last sentence, Elder Sheng Yue’s tone abruptly turned firm and cold.

"What did you say?" The Moon Venerate Martial Saint’s face showed anger, pressing down with overwhelming aura.

Elder Sheng Yue stood with hands behind his back, fearlessly.

In terms of strength, this Elder Sheng Yue did not fall short compared to the Moon Venerate Martial Saint.

"Two title elders." Elder Sheng Yue said in a deep voice with hands behind his back, "The Holy Daughter has been traveling abroad for eighteen months, returning today, the whole sect should celebrate."

"Announce that all secluded elders, title elders, all deacons, and sect martial artists should immediately come out to welcome the Holy Daughter’s return."

"Yes." The two title elders showed joy and quickly retreated.

"Nonsense." The Moon Venerate Martial Saint exploded in rage, the sky’s moonlight suddenly ran rampant.

But in the next second, the rampant moonlight instantly calmed down.

Just because, above the moonlight, a figure drifted down.

It was a woman, unparalleled in grace.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi glanced over, narrowing his eyes.

Compared to a year and a half ago, the woman of the Saint Lord looked about thirty, exceptionally graceful; today, she showed traces of lingering weariness, and... a touch of age.

Yiyi glanced over, her face almost instantly turning pale, her speech half trembling, "Master."

"Greetings, Saint Lord." All present paid their respects.

Except Xiao Yi alone, standing proud.

"Yiyi." The woman looked at Yiyi, her gaze soft yet complex.

"Do you still call me Master?"

The woman’s tone was equally complex.

Yiyi’s pallid face stammered to speak, but after glancing at Xiao Yi beside her, she stopped, shaking her head.

"Saint Lord." Nearby, the Moon Venerate Martial Saint looked displeased.

The woman waved her hand, "I know everything."

The authority in that motion made even the Moon Venerate Martial Saint silent.

The woman remained that mighty Saint Lord, unmatched.

The woman’s gaze moved from Yiyi onto Xiao Yi.

"Master of the Eight Palaces? Visiting my Holy Moon Sect today, what’s your purpose?" Her tone was extremely cold and authoritative, with no other nuance.

Xiao Yi’s gaze was indifferent, "I only ask one last time, Yiyi returning for a brief stay, is it welcomed or not?"

"If unwelcome, I and Yiyi shall immediately leave."

"Humph." The Moon Venerate Martial Saint exploded in anger again, "Leaving whenever you want and returning whenever you wish?"

"This girl brought shame upon my Holy Moon Sect overnight, today she dares come back?"

"Humph, don’t let me guess right, you’re afraid this girl is preparing to practice outside again so you want to send her to the Holy Moon Sect for a temporary stay?"

"What a joke, you treat my Holy Moon Sect as what? An outcast so daring to return?"

"Heh." Xiao Yi laughed indifferently, "Do you think I want to?"

"I indeed plan to practice outside, but Yiyi staying in the Eight Palaces is no worse than your Holy Moon Sect."

"Farewell."

Xiao Yi cupped his hands, left a cold remark, and was about to turn away.

"Wait." Elder Sheng Yue urgently called out.

"Who said my Holy Moon Sect is unwelcome?" The Saint Lord also coldly interrupted.

"Yiyi is my Holy Moon Sect’s Holy Daughter, appointed successor, the one to inherit Holy Moon Sect someday."

"Anyone opposing Yiyi’s return, consider as betraying the sect, or killed."

The Saint Lord’s ice-cold gaze was filled with extreme killing intent, clearly fixed on the Moon Venerate Martial Saint.

Her every word was by no means empty threats.

Xiao Yi, hearing this, stopped, nodded, "Good, so it seems you’re willing."

"But let me make it clear upfront, the same old story, if my maid suffers even a hint of grievance in your Holy Moon Sect, I will slaughter your Holy Moon Sect."

"Heh." Xiao Yi’s face was cold, "A year and a half ago, I had the capability to kill your Holy Moon Sect’s title elders, wreaking havoc within."

"Today, I can face your so-called Moon Venerate Martial Saint’s aura."

"Next time I return, I’ll be even stronger, blowing away your Holy Moon Sect with a single breath, do you believe?"

The Saint Lord squinted.

Of course, she knew the purpose of this young man’s fierce words and threats.

Yet she had no doubt about the truth behind his words.

This monster, indeed, grows at a terrifying pace.

"I promise you." The Saint Lord said solemnly, "Yiyi within my Holy Moon Sect will not lose a single hair."

"If anything goes wrong, I’ll redeem it with my life."

"Thanks." Xiao Yi nodded, cupped his hands, "Farewell."

Swoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure flickered, and he flew away through the air.

On the spot, Yiyi was startled, "Young Master."

Swoosh... her figure flickered, directly chasing after Xiao Yi.

The two left swiftly.

On the spot, the aura of the Moon Venerate Martial Saint erupted.

"Truly outrageous, when did my Holy Moon Sect become a place so subject to restraint?"

"In the days of the old Saint Lord, my Holy Moon Sect was so commanding."

"Now, we’re required to let a little girl return?"

"You understand nothing?" The woman coldly reprimanded, such authority forcing the Moon Venerate Martial Saint to suppress his aura.

"She is my disciple, my hope, and also the hope of Holy Moon Sect. You want to drive her away?"

"You want to drive away the hope of Holy Moon Sect?"

"I protect her as a Master’s duty; you protect her as the sect’s duty."

"The same words, don’t let me say them twice."

The icy and authoritative words fell, and the woman turned to leave.

"Yes." The surroundings respectfully responded.

Only the Moon Venerate Martial Saint’s face showed hard expressions, silent.

On the side, Elder Sheng Yue said solemnly, "Supreme, the Saint Lord’s authority is not to be defied."

The Moon Venerate Martial Saint nodded with difficulty, gritting his teeth to manage a "Yes."
