Chapter 689: Chapter 391: Is it him, coming to the Outer Sea?
Hiss!
The Ice Lotus Petals clashed violently with the Yin Yang Rotation, and for a moment, neither side could gain the upper hand. However, to the discerning eye, it was clear that Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying were struggling more, merely holding on rather than truly being on equal footing.
This was quite normal since Helian Cheng was a genuine Grandmaster, while Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying relied on secret techniques to emulate Yin Yang Rotation, barely possessing the strength to contend with a Grandmaster.
“Sister Yue, Sister Ying…”
Some of the younger female disciples from the Hehuan Sect’s Outer Sect, not yet having left the pavilion and around fifteen or sixteen years old, gazed at the confrontation in the distant courtyard, their eyes filled with worry.
The Hehuan Sect division where they were situated was one of the more important branches and was originally under the leadership of a Grandmaster. However, not long ago, the Dragonwood Island Master had invited Grandmasters from various factions to Dragon Wood Island, and the Grandmaster of the Hehuan Sect had gone as well, leaving only Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue to defend the place. Otherwise, had the Hehuan Grandmaster been there, Helian Cheng may not have dared to be so presumptuous.
Clearly, the opposing side had not only investigated the old affairs but had also understood the internal vulnerabilities of the Hehuan Sect’s branch, and so they took this opportunity to come with force, hoping to eliminate a longstanding problem.
“Helian Cheng’s Cold Heaven True Qi is profound; if they keep up this deadlock, it will be disadvantageous for them.”
A protector of the Hehuan Sect, an old crone, was now watching the situation on the battlefield, her expression changing.
Besides Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, this branch was also guarded by several other protectors, but the rest were ordinary protectors, not reaching the level of Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, and certainly not qualified to confront Helian Cheng.
But now, judging the situation, Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue could still hold up for the moment, but if it dragged on, they would surely be defeated. Everyone was becoming anxious, and one of the old crones was even struggling to restrain herself, stepping forward a few paces.
“Old Lady Lu, don’t get too close!”
One of Helian Cheng’s followers immediately stepped forward, brandishing a knife and speaking sternly to the crone, with a wave of Evil Qi emanating from him, revealing the Yuan Gang Inner Breath of the Six Viscera Realm.
This action angered the people of the Hehuan Sect, and for a moment, many disciples and protectors glared fiercely at Helian Cheng’s party, who were equally unafraid and returned the glare with a menacing presence.
For a moment.
Both sides faced each other at a distance, and the situation immediately became tenser.
But the forces of the Hehuan Sect and Helian Cheng’s followers did not immediately engage in battle, as everyone understood that the key to the dispute was the outcome of the fight between Helian Cheng and Hua Nongyue, Hua Nongying. The others were not crucial.
Meanwhile, in the center of the courtyard.
Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying displayed nearly identical demeanors and movements, both showing extremely grave expressions.
Their sole limitation in the unity of Yin and Yang was a lack of flexibility, but under normal circumstances, this wasn’t much of an issue. Once they performed this move, they could easily suppress those at the same level in the Six Viscera Realm and forcefully dominate a weaker Grandmaster, compelling them to retreat.
However, when facing someone like Helian Cheng, who was also somewhat accomplished among Grandmasters, they were even slightly inferior in direct confrontation, and the problem of insufficient flexibility became fully exposed, leaving them unable to dodge each other’s moves and forced to rely on brute force.
But in terms of brute force, although they were both at the Six Viscera Realm and had trained to the level of Perfection, uniting the Five Viscera and Six Viscera in circulation, they still could not match the endurance of a true Grandmaster who had crossed the Mysterious Pass and achieved Marrow Cleansing!
A Grandmaster who developed a Martial Body could assimilate The Power of Heaven and Earth much faster than someone in the Five Organ and Viscera Realm. If this stalemate continued, their Inner Breath would decline first, and they would inevitably be headed for defeat.
But it was difficult to reverse the situation now because of their limited flexibility, which made them only able to react passively. Helian Cheng, as a Grandmaster, could easily spot weaknesses and aimed every move to contest vigorously with his True Qi.
The Hehuan Grandmaster Liu Qingyan, who was in charge of this division, had now gone to Dragon Wood Island. Communication with the Outer Sea was poor, and even if she was informed at the fastest speed, she couldn’t possibly return in time. Today’s affair seemed likely to be troublesome.
Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying both felt heavy-hearted.
In fact, the Hehuan Sect was originally not involved in the affairs of Dragon Wood Island because there was no urgent need for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items. But they had learned that the Dragonwood Island Master had a Superior Grade Sea Calming Pearl, precisely the item that Chen Mu needed.
With Xunmu Cave Heaven opening and Dragon Wood Island gathering heroes from all over, they could not ignore the matter. They did not know whether any other Grandmaster might fancy the Sea Calming Pearl, and once someone took it, it would become difficult to track down again.
So they had beseeched Liu Qingyan to accept the invitation to Dragon Wood Island, in hopes of obtaining the Sea Calming Pearl.

Liu Qingyan initially disagreed.
But soon before, when the news of Chen Mu’s battle in the Ice State Abyss had reached the Hehuan Sect division, it greatly shocked Liu Qingyan, who then promptly changed her mind.
If it had been before, even though Chen Mu had shown exceptional talent and ranked in the top three of the Cold North Wind Cloud List, whether he could become a Qiankun Grandmaster was uncertain. Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying were willing to invest in Chen Mu, taking a chance on fate, but that was their own decision. With the Xunmu Cave Heaven being extremely perilous and the Sea Calming Pearl not easy to obtain, she naturally had to weigh her options.
But when the news from the Ice State Abyss arrived…
