After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 47 Battle against Zhao Deren

With Tang Chao leading the White Tiger Sect cultivators out to fight their way out, and the main force of the Azure Cloud Sect suffering injuries and losses, Li Jian could only lead the remaining Azure Cloud Sect cultivators on a retreat.

Ultimately, under the combined attack of Ye Xiaobai and Tang Chao, only a few disciples of the Qingyun Sect managed to escape.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Ye Xiaobai and Tang Chao went to the gathering place of the White Tiger Sect disciples.

"Junior Brother Ye, we are so grateful for your timely support this time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!" Tang Chao said excitedly.

"Yes, yes!" The White Tiger Sect cultivators around them echoed in unison.

"Senior Brother Tang, you are blessed with good fortune. With your third-tier sword formation combining offense and defense, you would have turned misfortune into good fortune even without my presence!" Ye Xiaobai said modestly.

"Junior Brother Ye is too modest!"

Afterwards, Ye Xiaobai chatted with Tang Chao and the other White Tiger Sect cultivators about some of the things that had happened since entering the secret realm. Ye Xiaobai only briefly mentioned his gains, only a small part of them, and everyone who heard it was filled with envy, envying Ye Xiaobai for having collected some spiritual herbs for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

After all, the vast majority of people had not collected the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"What? Li Xinyan and Zhao Deren are being chased by cultivators from the Qingyun Sect!" Ye Xiaobai was shocked when he heard this news.

"Junior Brother Ye, Li Xinyan and Zhao Deren should be fine, after all, they are both at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!" the others comforted them.

"I'd better go take a look!" After saying that, Ye Xiaobai left behind a few bottles of Qi-restoring pills and prepared to rush off in the direction where Li Xinyan and the others had fled.

"Junior Brother Ye, the people from the Qingyun Sect outside will definitely target the people from our White Tiger Sect. We can only be safer by sticking together!" Tang Chao advised.

"Okay, I'll be back as soon as I find them!" Ye Xiaobai said and left.

Tang Chao and the others had no choice but to accept Ye Xiaobai's Qi-restoring pills. Upon opening them, they were shocked to find that they were all high-grade Qi-restoring pills. They never expected that Ye Xiaobai's alchemy skills were so remarkable.

Zhao Deren had been pestering Li Xinyan all along. Now that the two were alone together in the secret realm, if Zhao Deren were to have any wicked thoughts, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but increase his speed.

An hour later, Ye Xiaobai used his "One Breath, A Thousand Miles" technique to discover the familiar apricot blossom fragrance—the scent emanating from Li Xinyan.

After confirming the location, Ye Xiaobai immediately flew towards Li Xinyan.

……

Li Xinyan's place.

"Xinyan, Elder Zhou has agreed to betroth you to me!" Zhao Deren said with a smile.

"What? When did my master agree to that?" Li Xinyan asked in surprise.

"I promised before we entered the secret realm that we'd have a wedding after we left," Zhao Deren said, reaching out to take Li Xinyan's hand.

Li Xinyan was naturally unwilling and immediately hid far away.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Deren, having killed all the Qingyun Sect cultivators who had been chasing them, naturally became bolder.

Zhao Deren ran to Li Xinyan's side, suddenly hugged her from behind, and said with a smile, "Anyway, we're getting married soon, so it's not too much to hug the bride and get intimate a little beforehand, is it?"

Li Xinyan was surprised by Zhao Deren's audacity and immediately shouted angrily, "Zhao Deren, let go of me now, or I won't be polite!" After saying that, she prepared to use magic to attack Zhao Deren.

Seeing Li Xinyan writhing and struggling, Zhao Deren became even more excited and hugged her even tighter.

However, seeing that Li Xinyan was about to make a move, he immediately used a binding spell to tightly restrain Li Xinyan.

"Zhao Deren, let me go, or I'll go back and tell my master!" Li Xinyan could only threaten Zhao Deren with her master.

"Xinyan, stop struggling. Your master has already agreed to our relationship, so just give in!"

"I... I'd rather die than submit!" Li Xinyan was almost in tears.

"Then there's no way to use it. A junior brother gave me a Mandarin Duck Dual Cultivation Pill before. I originally wanted to use it at Piaoxiang Tower, but now I can only let you enjoy it!" Zhao Deren said, taking out the pink pill.

"Zhao Deren, you shameless scoundrel! You're a beast in human clothing! A wolf in sheep's clothing!" Li Xinyan was already crying with fear as she cursed with all her might.

"Xinyan, well said! The more you scold me, the more I like it!" Zhao Deren laughed and forced Li Xinyan to swallow the pink pill.

Li Xinyan struggled desperately, trying to refuse to take the pill, but to no avail. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. In a daze, she seemed to see her mischievous junior brother, not very tall. Could he come to save her? Before she could think any further, Li Xinyan lost consciousness.

Seeing Li Xinyan's face glow like a peach blossom after taking the pill, and her eyes sparkling with endless affection, Zhao Deren finally couldn't resist and began to remove Li Xinyan's clothes.

Just then, Ye Xiaobai shouted angrily, "Zhao Deren, what are you doing!"

Hearing someone call his name, Zhao Deren was immediately furious. He turned around and looked at the source of the voice, only to find it was someone he knew. He immediately scolded, "Hmph, so it was you, you brat, who interrupted my good time!"

"Let go of Senior Sister Li!" Ye Xiaobai continued.

"Alright, alright, you just wait!" Zhao Deren knew he had to deal with Ye Xiaobai before he could continue his good deeds, so he put Li Xinyan aside.

Seeing that Li Xinyan wasn't entirely safe, Ye Xiaobai lured Zhao Deren to attack him, thus moving the battle area away from Li Xinyan's location.

"Zhao Deren, come on!" Ye Xiaobai directly drew Zhao Deren's attack, while actually preparing to attack himself at any time.

"You brat, you're asking for death!" Zhao Deren said, and then controlled a top-grade flying sword to attack Ye Xiaobai.

When Ye Xiaobai saw that Zhao Deren was using a top-grade flying sword, he dared not underestimate him and directly used his own top-grade flying sword to fight.

Seeing that Ye Xiaobai was also wielding a top-grade flying sword, he couldn't help but exclaim, "You brat, you actually have a top-grade flying sword! Then let's try my Azure Spirit Void-Breaking Technique!"

"The Spiritual Connection Pierces Through the Clouds!"

Upon seeing the soaring sword light, Ye Xiaobai knew it must be at least a Xuan-level sword technique, and he could only barely cope with it using the Tai Xu Wu Ji Sword Technique.

"Reaching for the moon in the heavens!"

"You little rascal, you've got some skills. You even have a Xuan-level sword technique!" Zhao Deren was greatly surprised, and then continued, "It seems I have to use my trump card."

"A trump card?" Ye Xiaobai was wondering what Zhao Deren had up his sleeve when he saw Zhao Deren slowly take out a three-foot-long sword emitting a dense blue light from his storage bag!

"What?! The trump card is actually a low-grade spiritual weapon level flying sword!" Ye Xiaobai was greatly shocked.

"It would be your honor to die by my Azure Vine Sword!" Zhao Deren said, controlling the Azure Vine Sword to slash at Ye Xiaobai.

Seeing the azure sword light, over ten feet long, hurtling towards him, Ye Xiaobai immediately channeled his spiritual power and used his top-grade flying sword to meet it.

With a loud "bang!", Ye Xiaobai's flying sword was knocked back several feet away, and the spiritual power of the top-grade flying sword was also lost by more than half. The flying sword itself became much dimmer. Ye Xiaobai suddenly realized that he would not be able to defeat Zhao Deren if things continued like this.

Ye Xiaobai racked his brains, trying to figure out how to break the deadlock!
