Chapter Ninety: Fair Duel with You

A month later, the tribe had returned to its former appearance, although there were fewer soldiers patrolling back and forth.

At night, Yun Chuxue and Muya sat on the rooftop, bathed in the moonlight. Facing each other, they each held a wine jar, drinking quietly.

"I never expected that after these years of seclusion, your strength has reached the pinnacle of the Spirit God realm," Muya remarked.

"How is the High Priest doing?" Yun Chuxue still felt concerned about the High Priest's injuries because when she arrived, the High Priest was barely breathing.

"She's alright. It'll take about half a year for her to fully recover."

"That's good." Yun Chuxue let out a sigh of relief, taking a sip from her wine jar. "I've been here for almost eight years now."

"Almost. What's wrong?" Muya asked, sensing Yun Chuxue's troubles.

"I have a daughter named Yuzi Xi. She's fifteen now, but we've only spent a few months together."

In the moonlight, Muya could see tears welling up in Yun Chuxue's eyes. After all, who wouldn't want to be with their own flesh and blood?

Yun Chuxue continued, "I have a son too. Although he's not my biological child, I've seen his efforts. He's destined to be the next Grandmaster of the Spirit Master Hall. I wonder what realm he's in now."

Seeing Yun Chuxue's concern for her two children, Muya sighed lightly. "Yun Chuxue, what are your plans next?"

"I'll finish things here, then I'll leave."

"Things here? What's going on here?"

"After the Poisonous Wolf's death, why didn't other spiritual beasts run away when they saw my strength?"

Muya shook her head, indicating she didn't know.

"Because there are stronger spiritual beasts seizing their territory. They have nowhere else to go. Returning means death. So, I'll leave after solving this problem."

"Are you leaving now?" Muya seemed reluctant.

Yun Chuxue held her hand. "Wait for me to resolve this issue, and then I'll come back to ask you for a favor before leaving."

"Alright."

With that, Yun Chuxue soared into the air, flying towards the north like a shooting star.

Yun Chuxue arrived at the foot of a mountain, where a cave stood before her emitting a foul smell.

"This should be the den of the Cangming Poisonous Wolf. Let's see which fool urged them to attack the nearby tribe."

Yun Chuxue drew her Moonchant Sword and swung it at the cave entrance, hoping to lure out the spiritual beasts inside with the explosion.

Sure enough, after a while, a roar emanated from the cave, followed by a humanoid voice.

"Who dares disturb my sleep?"

It seemed that the spiritual beasts inside the cave had a cultivation base of over a hundred thousand years.

Boom!

A giant python with blood-red horns burst out of the cave, stretching over a kilometer in length and about ten meters in diameter.

It surveyed the surroundings and saw Yun Chuxue standing in the air.

"Humans, you have the audacity to disturb my slumber."

At a glance, Yun Chuxue recognized it as one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, the Blood Horned Python.

"What? Since when do the Ten Great Fierce Beasts come to seize others' territory?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the Blood Horned Python's arrogance disappeared, replaced by astonishment.

"Yun Chuxue? What are you doing here?"

"If you're here, why can't I be here?"

"Did you come here specifically to find me?"

"What do you think? Did you instigate the Cangming Poisonous Wolf and other spiritual beasts to attack the nearby tribes?"

The Blood Horned Python fell silent, and Yun Chuxue knew for sure it was behind it. Although the Blood Horned Python family had pure bloodlines, their strength was not remarkable; they only knew how to use cunning methods.

Having been defeated by Yun Chuxue before, it was now afraid of her retaliation for its actions. Therefore, it chose to remain silent.

Seeing the Blood Horned Python's silence, Yun Chuxue sternly demanded, "Speak!"

"It was me," the Blood Horned Python finally mustered the courage to speak. "Why?"

"If it weren't for you humans, do you think I would come to such a distant place? If it weren't for you humans, my two children and my wife would still be alive."

"You have children and a wife. Don't the people in the tribe have them too?"

"If you want to fight, let's fight. I don't believe you can easily kill me."

If the Blood Horned Python knew that Yun Chuxue's spiritual power was at its peak at this moment, it would surely regret saying those words.

Just as the Blood Horned Python was about to attack, Yun Chuxue suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, she struck the Blood Horned Python's back, then relentlessly punched and kicked it hundreds of times in the blink of an eye before delivering a final blow, sending the Blood Horned Python crashing back to the ground.

The Blood Horned Python was now dizzy and unable to move.

Yun Chuxue landed on the Blood Horned Python's head, grabbing its horn and asking, "What? Do you still think you have the right to speak?"

"Don't... don't kill me..."

"Dream on."

With that, Yun Chuxue forcefully tore off the blood horn, causing the Blood Horned Python to spew green blood from its mouth in agony.

Yun Chuxue leaped away, taking out her Moonchant Sword and sending the Blood Horned Python to meet its wife and children.

She held the half-human-sized blood horn, and Moya sighed, "This is a good item. It can be used to make a device for storing spiritual power."

"Now that the disaster has been cleared, it's time to implement your plan."

Early in the morning, Yun Chuxue returned to the tribe. She went to Moya's house and handed her a medicinal book and ten boxes of seeds, instructing her, "Now that the disaster has been cleared, there is a formation a hundred miles to the east. Inside is a place specifically for planting these herbs. This book explains how to plant them. I'm giving you a special spatial ring to store the herbs. You take care of it. Now you can expand the tribe. Your tribe is too small. It's time for the leader to build up the tribe. Wait for me to come back."

"Okay."

After leaving a set of cultivation methods, she left.

Moya looked at the cultivation manual on the table, which was a special technique called the Eight-Element Primordial Technique, which any spiritual body could practice. It was given to her by Moya through Yun Chuxue. And the formation a hundred miles in radius was also arranged by Moya.

Watching Yun Chuxue's departing figure, Moya felt reluctant to see her leave. "When will you come back?"

Yun Chuxue crossed the mountains at lightning speed. Three days later, she arrived in the forest to the north of the continent. Just as she was about to take a rest and plan where to go next, she heard a familiar voice.

"Yun Chuxue, you finally came back."

Yun Chuxue looked up, and the figure of a black-clothed person stood in the air, looking down at her.

Yun Chuxue widened her eyes, her gaze filled with murderous intent as she stared at the black-clothed person, drawing her Moonchant Sword and pointing it at the black-clothed person.

"You finally came. It's time to settle our grievances."

"Don't be hasty. I came today to talk to you."

"Talk?"

The black-clothed person descended and took out a table and two chairs from a spatial ring, placing them on the ground. On the table were a teapot and two cups.

The black-clothed person gestured for Yun Chuxue to sit down, but she hesitated whether to talk to him or not.

"You go. With my current ability, I can easily match him," Moya said.

"Alright."

Yun Chuxue sat down, and the black-clothed person handed her a cup of tea, but Yun Chuxue didn't want to drink it.

After the black-clothed person finished drinking, he smiled and said, "What? Are you afraid this might be poisoned?"

"Get to the point." Yun Chuxue replied coldly.

"Well, I sensed your aura, so I came to find you."

"Why did you find me?"

"Let me explain. Eight years ago, I was in the early stages of the Spirit God realm, while you were in the later stages. I wanted to have a fair fight with you, but the timing wasn't right. Now, I am at the pinnacle of the Spirit God realm, and I want to have a fair duel with you. Do you have the confidence?"

Hearing that the black-clothed person had reached the later stages of the Spirit God realm in such a short time inevitably surprised Yun Chuxue.

"Starting now?"

"No, no, no. I said a fair duel. You're not my match now."
