Sword Among Us Chapter 459 – Immortal Cold Moon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the battle at Eternal Peace Temple, there were many people who paid attention to the plot of the six great system allocated sects and Ming Cult.

Mistress Annihilation’s death did not cause Emei Sect to lose control of their daily operations. Zhou Zhiruo swiftly took up the position of the sect leader of Emei Sect, and she moved straight from Life and Death Realm to Moksha Realm. The speed at which she increased her qi realm was so fast that it caused others to gasp in amazement.

Also, Emei Sect’s quests started sprouting up like mushrooms after a rain. The reduction in Emei Sect’s force of power caused ill will to appear in the area. Occasionally, various types of provocations would happen and disciples would go missing, so Zhou Zhiruo resolutely increased the number of sect quests when she faced such a situation. She also supported quite a number of inner sect disciples to protect the periphery of Emei Sect.

*****

“Why is Emei Sect so unlucky? We can’t even have peace when we grind. Some sort of person with a grudge against us will just pop up out of the blue, and sometimes even a few powerful evil sect fighters show up.”

“Isn’t that right? If I hadn’t been smart enough to run yesterday, I would have been killed by Black and White Fiends. There’s an increasing number of Moksha Realm NPCs… I wonder whether this game will turn into a place where Inaction Realm fighters will be all over the place in the future.”

“Let’s not think about that. I only want to know whether Black and White Fiends have left today. If they’re still there, we can only switch places to grind.”

A few female players sighed and moved to the place where they usually trained at the foot of Emei Sect’s mountain.

That was the territory of Golden Arm Apes.

Golden Arm Apes were intelligent beasts in Life and Death Realm. When they stood up on hind legs, they were larger than humans, and their golden fur was thick and sturdy. Their defense was incredibly high, and their movement speed was great.

Their arms were lean and long, and they were born with great strength. That meant that they could easily tear apart leopards, but what was commendable about them was that it was said that the Golden Arm Apes were familiar guests in Emei Sect’s hiding place for their classic manuals.

They often stole and learned Emei Sect’s palm techniques, which was why they sometimes dropped some low quality low-tier or high-tier martial art manuals. Their pelts were also good material for creating high-grade armor.

“Hmm?”

Before the group of people could even get close to Golden Arm Apes’ territory, they suddenly heard the sounds of intense fighting from a distance. Strange, neverending whistles kept slicing through the air.

“Is there someone there?”

“Let’s go and have a look.”

Most of the disciples in Emei Sect were girls, and when they heard that Golden Arm Apes’ territory, which was usually a place that no one approached, was occupied, they grew curious and the spirit of gossip lit up in their hearts.

After some time, they saw a black figure and a white figure in the forest. There was also a gold hoop and a silver hoop flying in the air. The hoops moved swiftly between the two figures as the participants of the battle fought fiercely.

“Black and White Fiends!”

“It’s her…”

The group suddenly came to a stop. One of the girls with a pretty face cried out in surprise and bewilderment as she stared at the girl who was fighting against Black and White Fiends. There was shock and disbelief in her eyes.

“Sister Yue, you know her?”

The people beside her cast a glance at the person in the forest before they swiftly directed their gazes to a man and woman who were watching the fight. There was puzzlement on their faces.

“Black Rose,” Yue Hua said. “She’s Black Rose Clan’s leader, and she’s also part of Emei Sect. The other one is also from Black Rose Clan, and she’s called Red Coral. You should know her.

“Red Coral is the one who obtained Sword of Virgins and Ice Silver Needle from the ancient tomb.” Once Yue Hua mentioned that, the female players around her looked over with surprise.

A girl at the back of the group seemed rather sentimental toward Black Rose’s name.

“She’s Black Rose? No way? How did she become so good?”

“Black Rose? She’s the one who competed against Sister Yue Hua for the title of strongest in Emei Sect…”

After hearing that, they finally remembered that there was once a person whose abilities were close to Yue Hua’s among the disciples in Emei Sect. The two had fought a few times before, but Black Rose had never won against Yue Hua, which was why no one had expected that she would become so powerful now.

“What’s the weapon and martial art she’s using? They look so unique…”

“She’s so powerful!”

Black Rose was dressed in golden armor, and it hugged her curves perfectly, which made her look extremely heroic!

The silver hoop protected her body, and the golden hoop was used for attacks. She occasionally sent it spinning around as a hidden weapon, and sometimes, she used it to fend against head-on attacks. She always struck out in a systematic fashion.

She moved with ease before Black and White Fiends, who were Moksha Realm fighters…

Yue Hua remembered how yesterday she had been in trouble when the two fiends attacked her. It was something she was very clear about. If she did not have two of her sisters holding the line for her, she might have even died. That is why she did not expect that with just two months of them not seeing each other, the person who once lost to her could easily withstand the encirclement of two Moksha Realm fighters.

The sadness in Yue Hua’s heart could easily be imagined!

“Who’s the man beside her? Red Coral seems to be very affectionate with him.”

When the sisters beside her reminded her of this fact, Yue Hua noticed the man in green robes standing in a stately manner outside the battlefield with a Bamboo Hat. Red Coral looked like a petite and delicate girl beside him as she continuously talked to him. She even occasionally covered her mouth and giggled while they chatted happily.

Yue Hua shuddered slightly. She was stunned for a few seconds after noticing him. Soon though, she understood what was going on and spoke up abruptly. “Come, let’s go over and meet them.”

“Huh?”

The Emei Sect disciples were stunned, but they saw that Yue Hua had already bypassed Black and White Fiends to walk toward the man and woman across from them.

“Is Sister Yue alright?”

“I don’t know. Black Rose was on bad terms with Sister Yue last time. Let’s follow her in case something happens.”

“Yeah.”

*****

“Golden Silver Hoop is a unique martial art, and it’s very difficult to master it. Being able to attack and defend at the same time while utilizing the skills at will is even more difficult. I didn’t expect that Sister Rose will be able to learn this in just slightly over a month. Her control is insane.” The man sighed in amazement.

Red Coral smiled brilliantly. “That’s all thanks to the martial art and weapon you provided, or else, she wouldn’t have been able to become like this. Neither of the two could be missing.

“My sister said that she wants to thank you when you have some time. Without your help, it would have been impossible for us to gather up the full Golden Armor Set.”

“Hehe, armor is supposed to be used, you know.”

“No matter what, we have to thank you on behalf of our sisters and Sister Rose.”

“We’re all from the same clan, so there’s no need for you to be so polite.”

As he spoke, Happy suddenly sensed the group of Emei Sect disciples who were originally passing by the place heading straight toward them, and he could not help but be stunned.

*****

When the female disciples of Emei Sect were halfway to closing on Yue Hua, they suddenly saw the man and woman across from them look in their direction.

What surprised them even more was that the man actually took off the Bamboo Hat that covered his face. He received Yue Hua with a bright smile and took the initiative to greet her from a distance.

“Miss Yue, what a coincidence.”

“Ah, it’s really you. Ever since you vanished from Eternal Peace Temple, I didn’t expect to see you in Emei Sect. It’s truly a coincidence.”

Yue Hua’s natural and poised reply allowed the girls behind her to become certain that the two knew each other, and they became at ease.

But Yue Hua’s words caused them to have their imaginations run wild.

‘Seems like Sister Yue Hua has a fancy toward this handsome and manly man. It looks like she had been paying close attention to him.’

“Come, let me introduce you—”

“Don’t need, we know each other,” Yue Hua interrupted the young man’s words and looked at Red Coral with a grin. “Isn’t that right, Coral?”

Red Coral nodded. “Yue Hua is known as Immortal Cold Moon in Emei Sect. I’ve heard of your name for a long time.”

“These are my sisters, Jinjin, Qingqing, and Qing’er…”

The young man and Red Coral nodded at them one by one.

It was only then that Yue Hua introduced the young man with the mysterious identity to the girls whose eyes shone with expectation, and she did so in a grand fashion.

“This is the person you have been talking about day and night, the top ranked player on the Famous People Rank, Happy.”

The girls were stunned speechless.

Jingjing’s eyes went wide, and she blinked repeatedly. She could not believe what she heard.

Qingqing and Qing’er were so shocked that they hugged each other. They even stuffed their fists into their mouths at the same time.

‘Happy!’
