Chapter 155: Leave Him Some Dignity
When You Fei heard Yu Zhao’s voice, a bad feeling rose in his heart at once.

He was just about to form a seal to defend when he suddenly felt a huge shadow cover him.

He looked up on instinct and his whole body went stiff.

A giant nearly ten zhang tall looked down at him from on high, its huge pupils shining with an icy light.

Looking carefully, this giant clearly looked exactly like Yu Zhao.

You Fei’s scalp went numb. He bit his tongue hard and flew outward without another word.

Whoosh.

A sharp whistling sound exploded.

A huge footprint came down from the sky.

Only by pushing his speed to the limit did You Fei barely dodge that step.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a huge palm reached for him.

From his point of view, it was like a mountain crashing down. The sight and the feeling both brought a huge shock to him.

You Fei knew that simply dodging was not a good plan. Gritting his teeth, he poured spirit power into the magical artifact in his hand, then stomped hard with his right foot and shot toward the giant Yu Zhao like a shooting star.

But the crash he expected never sounded.

He was pinched between two huge fingers and could not move at all.

He struggled with all his strength, but all he could hear was the grinding sound of his bones being squeezed by immense force.

An unspeakable fear spread in his heart.

The disciples of the Five Elements Dao Sect were even more terrifying than the stories. [Was he really going to be defeated in bitterness without even holding out for a single round?]

While he was at a loss, the giant Yu Zhao’s other hand took control of his body.

He was trapped inside the giant palm, only his head sticking out, his face full of gloom.

For some reason, You Fei felt ashamed.

He tried once more to break free, but it was still useless.

What panicked him even more was that the force holding him was constantly growing stronger. He felt that he was about to be crushed to death by that huge strength.

It was only a spar. [Was Yu Zhao really going to kill him?]

Shocked and afraid, You Fei could no longer care about his pride and wanted to admit defeat.

But when he opened his mouth he found that no sound would come out.

Despair filled his eyes, and tears fell without his control.

No!

[He did not want to die!]

[Sect master! Elders! Save me!]

“Little Nephew Yu, You Fei has lost. Stop playing with him and leave him a bit of dignity,” Elder Luo finally called out.

Elder Luo really could not watch any longer.

Losing was one thing, but it was rare to lose as shamefully as You Fei had.

If he did not stop this, Elder Luo was afraid that when You Fei woke from the illusory realm, he would not be able to handle the blow and his dao heart would collapse.

In fact, You Fei had good talent and comprehension. It was just that his personality was far too arrogant. After this battle, he would probably restrain himself a lot in the future.

Yu Zhao had never planned to push things too far. Once Elder Luo spoke, she naturally drew back her soul force.

The illusory realm ended, and the Void Illusory Form faded away with the wind.

The sect plaza was silent. Not a bird could be heard.

Only after a long time did You Fei come back to his senses from his terror.

He stared blankly at his unharmed body, yet inside he still felt the lingering shadow of almost dying.

Slowly turning his eyes, his gaze swept past Yu Zhao’s calm face, then over to the fellow disciples who were looking at him with sympathy.

[So everything just now had been… an illusion?]

The Greenwood Sect disciples saw You Fei looking as if his soul had flown away. They wanted to comfort him but did not know what to say.

They did not know what You Fei had gone through. All they had seen was that after You Fei cast a defensive spell formula, he began to attack all around at random, then went still as if demon-possessed, his face twisted in pain.

It was only when Elder Luo spoke and Yu Zhao appeared out of thin air that they finally understood what had happened.

This unknown inner disciple of the Five Elements Dao Sect had used her illusion art to fool them all. You Fei had fallen into an illusory realm and could not free himself.

You Fei had lost, and he had lost miserably.

Not just You Fei himself, even the Greenwood Sect disciples found it hard to accept.

Fang Cheng Lang also felt as if he were dreaming.

Even if he had faced You Fei at his peak, he would not have dared claim he could win as easily and beautifully as Yu Zhao had.

Yet Yu Zhao had done it.

With her strength, she had slapped him hard in the face and blown away his vague, unrealistic ideas.

Whether Yu Zhao forgave him or not, the way they got along could never go back to how it had been.

Because Yu Zhao no longer needed to rely on others for a sense of worth. She herself was her greatest support.

Fang Cheng Lang suddenly remembered that when Yu Zhao had first joined the sect, Sect Master Ji Yuan had once laughed and said that Master Qing Yan had finally taken a good disciple who could inherit his legacy.

Back then he had thought Sect Master Ji Yuan was just joking.

Now he realized that Sect Master Ji Yuan had been serious.

“Yu Zhao.”

You Fei’s rough voice sounded.

Yu Zhao looked at him.

With a face that looked like he was about to cry but trying not to, You Fei said seriously: “I am sorry. I should not have spoken words that belittled the Five Elements Dao Sect before. I apologize to you and to the Five Elements Dao Sect.”

The strong were respected.

You Fei was willing to accept punishment.

Yu Zhao nodded calmly, accepting his apology.

“Little Nephew Yu, come over here. The sect master wants to see you.”

Elder Luo stood far away and waved at Yu Zhao.

Yu Zhao’s heart gave a jump.

The sect master of the Greenwood Sect wanted to see her. [Could it be because she had hurt the Greenwood Sect’s face and he wanted to blame her?]

On second thought, a sect master of a major sect would not have such a narrow mind as to hold a grudge against a young disciple like her.

She answered and quickly walked toward Elder Luo.

As soon as she left, several Martial Hall disciples who had been following behind You Fei hurried forward, supporting the staggering You Fei and asking worriedly: “Senior Brother You, are you alright?”

You Fei gave a bitter smile.

His body was fine, but the shadow Yu Zhao left on his heart would probably not fade for many years.

When Fang Cheng Lang heard Elder Luo’s words, his first instinct was to follow and ask what was going on.

But after taking one step, he remembered the disappointment in Yu Zhao’s eyes, and his foot could not take a second.

[Little Six probably did not want to see him again.]

On the other side.

Yu Zhao followed Elder Luo all the way to the Greenwood Sect’s main hall.

Mu Ye was standing outside the door waiting. Seeing Yu Zhao and Elder Luo arrive together, she said in surprise: “Yu Zhao, you are the one the sect master asked me to wait for.”

Yu Zhao shook her head at her, showing that she also did not know what was going on.

Mu Ye was puzzled, but now was not the time to ask more. She said: “The sect master is waiting for you inside the hall. Go in.”

Yu Zhao bowed to Elder Luo, then walked up into the main hall.

The wide, bright main hall held only Sect Master Wu Sang’s figure.

Yu Zhao stopped one zhang away and bowed in a disciple’s salute: “Junior Yu Zhao, inner disciple of the Five Elements Dao Sect, greets Sect Master Wu Sang.”

Sect Master Wu Sang lifted his hand and smiled slightly: “Yu Zhao, you are very good. In less than ten years, Master Qing Yan will surely regret it very much.”

Yu Zhao was not surprised that Sect Master Wu Sang knew about her story with Master Qing Yan.

The One Sect, Two Schools, Four Clans of the cultivation world were all rivals. As the master of a sect, he naturally understood the movements of the other sects very well.

Besides, when she had requested to leave the sect back then, it had caused quite a stir. Anyone who paid attention to the Five Elements Dao Sect would not have missed the news.

“You flatter me.”
