Chapter 71: The Collective Cleanup
“You You!” Feng Rong was the first to rush over, ignoring the chaos around them. He grabbed You You and frantically inspected her, words spewing rapidly. “Why’d you run off like that? You had me terrified! I thought you’d… you… If you can’t handle sword control, don’t fly recklessly! At least send a message first! My legs are about to fall off from searching!”
“Uh… I forgot the messaging talisman!” You You mumbled sheepishly.
“You You!” Yuan Qi stepped forward urgently. “Are you injured? Any discomfort?” He gripped her wrist to check her pulse.
“I’m fine, really!” You You thumped her chest reassuringly.
“Sect Master!” Lin Feng and others landed, trailed by a crowd—nearly every sword-capable disciple had come.
Ling Qi scanned the wreckage. “Sect Master, what…?”
“Just wiped out a criminal group!” You You answered, then gasped. “Wait—Shui Yan!”
Had her uncontrolled skills harmed Shui Yan? She spun around and spotted Shui Yan standing meters away, frozen and wide-eyed.
“Shui Yan, you okay?” You You dashed over, checking her for injuries. Relief hit—she’d aimed her skills forward, sparing the girl.
Shui Yan jolted awake, stumbling back to kneel. “C-Celestial Maiden!” Her mind buzzed, disbelief swirling. You You truly was the celestial maiden—here to save them! A tidal wave of emotion choked her, tears spilling.
“We… we’re really…” She bowed again, voice breaking. “Thank you for saving—”
“No.” You You hauled her up firmly. “You’re the real hero here. You saved them.”
“……” Shui Yan’s composure shattered. Sobs racked her—years of fear and relief erupting at once.
“Let’s fetch the others from the cave.” You You squeezed her shoulder.
“Right!” Shui Yan scrubbed her face, nodding hard. “The others—I’ll lead—”
“WHO DARES DESTROY MING YOU VALLEY?!” A thunderous roar split the sky.
Black fog boiled overhead as a black-clad figure materialized, rage contorting his features.
“The Master of Ming You Valley!” Shui Yan paled, despair returning. “A God Transformation Stage cultivator!”
God Transformation meant near-immortal power, one step from ascension. Worse, he’d brought backup—five Nascent Soul Stage evil cultivators and hordes of followers.
Zhen Yan Sect disciples drew weapons, tension spiking. Feng Rong frowned at the swarm above, hesitation flickering. Yuan Qi stayed calm—a Divine Clan member unbothered by mere God Transformation cultivators—but tugged You You behind him protectively.
The valley master scanned the group, sneering at Feng Rong’s Nascent Soul aura. “A Nascent Soul brat dares invade my domain? Today, none of you—”
“You You, stay back. I’ll—” Yuan Qi began, but a blade’s gleam shot past him.
The valley master gathered spiritual energy, roaring, “—WILL ESCAPE! AAGH!”
A sword pierced his chest, shredding his Dantian. Spiritual energy exploded outward, vanishing.
“H-How…?” The master gaped, clutching the blade. Then he plummeted into the chasm below.
Feng Rong and Yuan Qi, mid-action: “……”
Disciples ready to die defending their sect: “……”
Shui Yan, filled with despair: "…"
The stunned underlings of the evil cultivators: "…"
(′д｀)
Wh…what just happened?
All eyes in the room snapped to You You, who remained frozen in her sword-throwing posture.
You You stiffened, awkwardly lowering her arm. "Wait! I just tossed it randomly!" she blurted out. "Who knew…" Her voice trailed off. She hadn’t expected a God Transformation Cultivator to be so easy to hit! "Besides, the fight was already over… Then he showed up for extra drama. It annoyed me…" So she’d casually thrown a sword – never imagining it would actually strike true.
Everyone: "…"
The entire den of evil fell deathly silent.
A mighty God Transformation Cultivator from Ming You Valley… defeated by a random sword toss?
Are you fucking kidding me?!
(“д“)
The crowd gaped in shock. The hovering evil cultivators stared blankly at the bottomless chasm below before finally processing events. "The…the Valley Master is dead!"
At this shout, panic erupted. Faces twisted with terror, the evil cultivators abandoned all thoughts of fighting and scattered like roaches.
"Running away?" Feng Rong sneered, snapping into action. "None of you are escaping today!"
He flung out his arm, summoning roaring flames that encircled the fleeing figures. Even Nascent Soul cultivators attempting to force their way through got repelled by the fire. The strange flames didn’t just scorch flesh – they devoured spiritual energy itself! As the fiery ring tightened, the trapped cultivators were herded into a squirming cluster.
The original crisis-ridden situation reversed instantly with the Ming You Valley Master’s demise. The entire nest of evil cultivators had been captured.
"Sect Master!" Ling Qi approached, gesturing at a half-collapsed tower in the distance. "Disciples report more evil cultivators gathered in that building. Should we apprehend them?"
You You’s palm clenched as memories of Xuan Yue Building resurfaced. This place contained far more scum than just Zhan Zhen. Her barely-contained rage reignited. "No."
"Ah?" Ling Qi blinked. Were they showing mercy?
You You turned with icy determination. "Castrate every last man in Xuan Yue Building. Leave no balls behind!"
"…"
Before anyone could react, Shui Yan’s eyes blazed. "I’m joining!" she declared, frantically patting her empty scabbard before remembering You You had thrown her sword. She spun towards nearby disciples. "Someone lend me a blade! Sword, knife, scissors – anything! I’ll neuter those bastards myself!"
Everyone: "…"
An involuntary shudder ran through the crowd. Why did they suddenly feel a phantom chill between their legs?
