333: Chapter 331: Being Unreasonable 333: Chapter 331: Being Unreasonable Baili An’s gaze briefly passed over Yan Yun’s hands, his eyelids drooped slightly, showing no unusual expression on his face. He then looked at Li Jiujiu, and not knowing whether he saw through the matters of her heart, he smiled and said, “I have brought someone with me.” Li Jiujiu shyly lowered her head, only to see her sleeves and skirt covered in mud and wolf blood, looking extremely wretched. She immediately buried her cheeks into her palms, pretending to be a stranger to him once again. The Yin Spirit White Tiger carried two legs and stepped lightly to Baili An’s side, its tiger eyes regained the eerie fire, surveying everyone in front. A chill immediately rose in their hearts, a sense of cold dread spread under the gaze of those ghostly pupils. “Thank you, brother, for your righteous help,” Zhang Yaotang stepped forward, his eyes still suspicious, unable to figure out how this young man had slain the wolves and even spared the Demon Wolf King. Baili An remained silent, quietly watching Yan Yun. His calm gaze somehow made Zhang Yaotang feel an inexplicable unease; he did not notice his wife had acquired a small sword in her hand. He frowned slightly, and discreetly stepped in front of Yan Yun. Out of respect for the Yin Spirit White Tiger, he said very politely, “This is my sworn wife, Yan Yun. May I know if brother has any concerns?” Baili An also nodded very politely, glanced sideways at Li Jiujiu behind him, and introduced as well, “This lady is also my sworn wife, Li Jiujiu. Could you please step aside?” Li Jiujiu trembled, her fingers parted, and she peeked at him through the gaps. Zhang Yaotang’s face turned slightly unnatural, and said, “A wife isn’t something to step aside for.” Baili An raised his eyebrows, his stance unchanged as he carried someone on his back, and spoke seriously, “Then, I won’t step aside.” As he finished speaking, a gust of wind came from beside him, and as his soft hair brushed against his cheek, it suddenly took on a sharp edge. A shimmering blue gloss flashed from nowhere in the darkness, tracing a sharp semicircular arc. At the arc’s deliberate avoidance was Zhang Yaotang. The sharp end was aimed at the dazed and distracted Yan Yun. A scream broke out. Blood dripped onto the ground. Everyone shocked, turned towards the expressionless Baili An, and then towards Yan Yun, their eyes deeply shaken. It was the Autumnwater Sword. It deeply penetrated her shoulder, the wound was extremely deep! Yan Yun’s lips turned extremely pale, and a painful sting spread from her shoulder, like the needle of an ice scorpion burrowing through bone. She trembled and grasped the Autumnwater Sword, attempting to pull it out, when she horrifyingly discovered that this ordinary-looking treasure was emitting a strange chill, freezing the sword together with her bones. If she forcefully removed the sword, it could destroy the entire scapula. Zhang Yaotang’s face displayed his anger, and he yelled, “What are you doing?!” Baili An pressed his lips with the back of his hand to suppress a tickle in his throat, and after suppressing the urge to cough, he slowly lowered his arm and said lightly, “She attempted to murder with a stolen sword.” Zhang Yaotang was startled, looking at Li Jiujiu held in the tiger’s claw, recognizing the injury on her shoulder as being from a palm strike specific to his sect, Jingyue Sect, his heart sank. Seeing the unfamiliar sword in Yan Yun’s hand, the sinking feeling rose to his throat. If others knew of this, that a disciple of his Jingyue Sect, the wife of Zhang Yaotang, had committed such treacherous acts, it would be a disgrace not only for him and his wife. Zhang Yaotang quickly concealed the complex emotions in his eyes, and yelled, “Ridiculous! How could a person of my Jingyue Sect steal a sword from a minor sect? This sword rightly belongs to my Jingyue Sect! What, you injure people without cause and still want to monopolize the moral high ground?” Amidst the chaos of the battle, who could care for others? He simply denied everything. Moreover, he did not believe that someone of Li Jiujiu’s background would possess a Spiritual Artifact; it must have been ill-gotten, he thought. Who would believe it otherwise? As if earlier predicting what he would say, Baili An slowly raised his brows and simply said one word, “Recover.” Yan Yun emitted another agonizing scream. The calm sword in the palm suddenly buzzed and burst forth with orange Sword Qi, its attracted power as a Spiritual Artifact was unimaginable. Yan Yun, completely unguarded, had her fingers sharply severed, spraying five columns of bright red blood, the orange sword broke through the blood and swirled around Baili An, its crisscrossing Sword Qi causing the others to feel a dread. Finally, under his indicated gaze, it obediently fell into Li Jiujiu’s palm, the once fierce Sword Qi instantly becoming as gentle as the wind, softly wrapping around her fingertips. Witnessing this, even with resentment boiling within, Zhang Yaoyun could only forcefully swallow it down. With such ease piercing through the flesh of the Sea Expansion Realm, if not a Spiritual Artifact recognizing its master, a Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact, usually difficult to control at the Sea Expansion Realm, wouldn’t show almost all of its power by merely uttering one word ‘recover’. Baili An’s lips curled slightly, but there was no hint of a smile in his eyes; he coldly said, “So the swords belonging to Jingyue Sect are just for dogs? But I haven’t thrown out any bones.” Reality was like a harsh slap, leaving Zhang Yaosong’s cheeks burning in pain. The surrounding onlookers threw derisive glances. Li Jiujiu stood stupefied, thinking how the quietly cute and obedient husband from her boudoir days had become so venomously fierce. But still… he looked incredibly handsome when angry. “But even so, don’t you think this act a bit excessive? You should know, a palm is more important than life itself to an array mage!” Zhang Yaosong’s eyes were filled with irrepressible fury as he spoke in a low voice. Although he had little affection for the wife arranged for him by his elder, he had to admit her importance within the sect had indeed brought him great support and help. And now, to be disabled like this. Responding to Zhang Yaosong was the Autumnwater Sword penetrating three inches deeper, Yan Yun screamed continuously, and could no longer stand, kneeling on the ground. Baili An said, “Then I might as well fulfill your wish and take her life.” Zhang Yaosong trembled with rage, “You are being unreasonable!” Yan Yun with a sorrowful look pleaded, “Yaosong, save me…” Baili An said, “Jiujiu kindly extended help, yet she was pushed towards the wolves; this isn’t merely being unreasonable. If I cannot retrieve this sword, and you insist it belongs to your sect, how shall we discuss reason?” He stared at him with his dark eyes, “Since you lack reason, why seek it in others?” Yan Yun’s voice trembled, “Jiujiu is all well and good there, now you’ve severed my fingers and vented your anger, why not leave a way out? Do you really intend to kill me, to make an enemy of Jingyue Sect by taking a life?” Baili An said, “I might.” Yan Yun felt a chill in her heart, her face showing panic.
