Chapter 5: Elder Martial Sister, This Is My Sword!
The story of the Demon of the Outer Realm is widely spread in the East Divine Land.
Even in the North Luzhou, where it’s snowy and communication is difficult, many people still talk about it.
Nobody knows exactly where this group of people come from.
Nor does anyone know exactly how many crimes they have committed.
If only relying on ancient books and fragments of legends, their reputation might not be so great.
Unfortunately, every once in a while, a small group of Demons of the Outer Realm will cause trouble.
This is a forced way to deepen the memory of people from this world!
Therefore,
In the mortal realm, a new version of the story where only infants cry at night was born.
If you don’t obey, the demon from beyond the sky will turn you into a girl.
If you don’t obey, the demon from beyond the sky will eat your heart.
In short, whatever horror there is to come.
Many naive children grew up in such fear.
Over time, a unique custom of driving away demons with lantern ships was even generated during the festivals of this world.
In the cultivation world, this fear has also been preserved.
Before the rise of the Taixuan Taoist Sect, the sect once known as the leader of the world’s orthodoxy suffered heavy casualties in the process of suppressing the Demon of the Outer Realm, and eventually fell to the point of having to withdraw from the stage of the cultivation world.
Some have written about this in books.
Who could have imagined that the Taoist temple located in the deep mountains with only five people above and below would have controlled immortal weapons to maintain order in the East Divine Land?
There are always things that people in the mortal world and even those in the cultivation world who are far away from the wind and dew cannot escape from in their lifetimes.
For example, inheritance.
Since its establishment, the sect has been tied to inheritance.
Thousands of years have passed, and the Tao has always been passed down and developed.
The experience of this sect has vividly taught many people a lesson.
Sword Washing Pavilion learned a lot from it.
For example–
The Demon of the Outer Realm cannot be defeated by force!
What good is a good name!
Take a look.
Nowadays, which righteous person wouldn’t raise their thumb when reading the story of that sect?
However, the Master of the Sword Washing Pavilion inquired.
"Is it useful? Is it truly useful?"
Can these praises be transformed into power? Can these compliments help the sect return to its peak?
Impossible.
It is very obvious!
Unless that sect can also produce an Bai Lian.
With such thoughts in mind, upon the arrival of the Demon of the Outer Realm in Yingzhou, the Master of the Sword Washing Pavilion, without hesitation, knelt down.
He had no intention of showing off his heroism. After all, what if he ended up dead?
As was proven, quick action had its rewards!
They received the blessing of the Demon Emperor. Not only Zhao Shuo, but also he, as the lord of the pavilion, obtained the unique method of cultivation from the Demon of the Outer Realm.
"This is the secret of becoming an Immortal Emperor!"
"When you became the Emperor of Heaven, all four directions bowed down and submitted, even Bai Lian dared not disobey!"
The sects that arrived later were not so lucky.
Sword Washing Pavilion indulged in meat while they could only drink soup, even the soup was not enough, they had to become the nourishment for the Holy Spirit Sword Washing Pool’s sacrifice.
Yes.
The purpose of the Demon of the Outer Realm is the Sword Washing Pool inside the Sword Washing Pavilion.
The demon who just left said that this pool is the source of the void domain.
Now that the void domain is closed, living beings must be used as the key to open it.
The reason why the demon has not thrown everyone in is that it must balance resentment.
"In this way, we can avoid attracting others’ attention…"
"Who else can threaten the upper immortals when even the Taixuan Taoist Sect is not their match?"
The Demon of the Outer Realm didn’t say anything.
Its attitude was similar to when it left just now.
"If it’s not something you should know, don’t ask."
The pavilion master is a discerning person and immediately shut up.
Now he only felt relaxed, "When the Heavenly Formation is complete, it will be the time to exterminate Bai Lian."
People around clapped and laughed.
"This is the day our Sword Washing Pavilion becomes famous. With the foundation of this ten-year agreement, coupled with the reputation accumulated before Bai Lian, Sword Washing Pavilion will surpass the four major sects!"
"Congratulations, congratulations."
"Don’t forget us old friends when you ascend, pavilion master."
"The pavilion leader has extraordinary martial arts skills, how could he have no peerless companion for even one day? My family has a daughter of 16 years old, with extraordinary talents…"
The representatives of other sects exerted themselves in praising him one by one, as if they wanted to blow the pavilion leader up to the sky.
The pavilion leader smiled slightly and pressed down with both hands, "don’t forget the more important matter, everyone."
"The more important matter?"
The pavilion leader was confident and said, "Bai Lian was once an Immortal Emperor. Although she was far from an Immortal, she must have accumulated great wealth. Otherwise, how could she have established the Duxian sect? After her death, the Immortals will definitely not be interested in what she had, but for us, they are all rare treasures in the mortal world. Obtaining just one of them could greatly increase our sect’s strength."
Got it!
"Hiss–"
The conference room of the Sword Washing Pavilion was filled with the sound of cold breaths in succession.
If you didn’t know any better, you would think that the room was surrounded by rattlesnakes and air conditioning had been added.
You know, that’s a treasure of the Immortal Emperor!
Well.
Immortal tools, elixirs, immortal materials, cultivation methods and spells, perhaps even more extraordinary things beyond imagination.
To put it into worldly words, it’s "wealth that can rival a nation"!
My god.
Just by casually drinking a bowl of "soup", it will definitely make the sect thrive.
The so-called Four Major Sects and Demon Path leaders are nothing.
In a few decades, when looking at the world, everyone will only remember the Mount Yun’s ten holy sites!
What was that saying again?
Oh.
By the way.
The way of the world originates from Mount Yun!
In this way, they not only gained reputation but also benefits, at the cost of the lives of many of their disciples.
If the disciples are gone, they can just recruit again. Will the new disciples in the future be inferior to these mediocre people now?
As they thought of this, everyone in the meeting room lit up with excitement in their eyes.
"Master…"
"Master, we once went out for adventure together when we were young."
Various flattering voices rang out again.
The intimate appearance even made people think that the various sects of Mount Yun were originally one family, loving and caring for each other so much that even the Spiritual Path Master and Qingxuan Sword Master shed tears.
The Master smiled, "Everyone, don’t be nervous, I understand your thoughts. When the time comes, the things left by the Immortal will be shared among everyone here!"
Marvelous!
This is what everyone loves to do.
"The East Divine Land has the Ten Thousand Immortals League, the Hundred Sects Alliance… Why don’t we form the Mount Yun Alliance here?"
With those words, the atmosphere in the Sword Washing Pavilion suddenly became lively.
"The leader of the alliance will naturally be the pavilion master."
"This proposal is not bad."
"The pavilion master possesses great virtue…"
In a matter of moments, the pavilion master was hailed as the most generous person in history.
In this joyful atmosphere, everyone eagerly awaited the summoning of the Demon Emperor’s puppet by the immortal who had just left.
All is ready except for the "east wind".
Family members, bring the bowls, grab the chopsticks, get ready for "dinner"!
Then…
A considerable amount of time passed, and the "cook" who went to the "back kitchen" still had not returned.
"?"
The pavilion master was not actually very anxious.
What troubled him still came from the mountains below.
With nothing to do, he glanced at the tumultuous Sword Washing Pavilion gate below.
He didn’t understand what had happened exactly, but he was deeply shaken!
When Elder Li went down, he had felt that everything was under control.
Elder Li could not defeat Bai Lian, but he could not defeat Xiao Jinse either?
As it turned out, he really couldn’t!
In the pitch-black long night, it seemed like a phoenix was dancing and endless flames were falling, illuminating the earth in fiery red.
In such an extreme environment, Xiao Jinse, who had been suppressed by Zhao Shuo, completely changed her appearance.
Her black leggings remained largely the same, with only a few holes from battles.
However, her upper clothing, blessed by the Flames of Qing Luan, shone brilliantly like gold without appearing vulgar.
Flames erupted from her right arm, slicing across Elder Li’s body like a sharp blade.
Accompanied by a wailing scream, Elder Li’s lower body was severed cleanly.
But no blood spattered out as the wound had already been charred by the flames.
"Save me, save me!"
The once dominant Elder Li was no longer imposing, his hands pressed against the ground as he desperately crawled towards Zhao Shuo, standing on the mountain path.
Zhao Shuo, still immersed in the invincibility of the Heavenly Lord’s path, was as frightened as if he had seen a ghost upon seeing Elder Li.
"Don’t come closer, don’t come closer to harm me!"
Turning around, he was about to abandon Elder Li and run away alone.
Luckily, at this moment, Elder Li’s ears had already been damaged and he could not hear any sound.
He just made a desperate leap and happened to land on Zhao Shuo’s foot.
Saved!
Elder Li’s blood-stained face showed a relaxed smile.
Zhao Shuo was shocked, thinking it was Xiao Jinse who caught up.
When he turned around and found out that the person was Elder Li, his face turned black.
Xiao Jinse was not far away from him, with another Elder Li hanging on him, how could he escape?
Angry passion rose from his heart, and wickedness bred cowardice!
Zhao Shuo immediately lifted his foot.
Damn it, did you bring Xiao Jinse here?
He was ready to kick Elder Li towards Xiao Jinse, but just as his foot was about to land, he had a new idea.
With Elder Li’s current condition, even if he hit Xiao Jinse, it would not stop her for long.
Instead of that, he decided to make good use of him.
Zhao Shuo caught Elder Li’s neck with a mournful expression. "Master Li, I’m touched that you came to save me. Don’t worry, I won’t let your kind intentions go to waste."
Click.
That was the sound of Elder Li’s neck being twisted.
Afterwards, countless black mists invaded Elder Li’s body like tentacles.
With a violent trembling, all of Zhao Shuo’s injuries on his body were restored.
The disciples who were of low power were not enough to defeat Xiao Jinse, what about Elder Li from the Soul Changing Stage peak?
He was slashed and sent flying by a sword coming towards him, which also left a deep pit on the mountain path of the Sword Washing Pavilion. However, he stood up again with a pat on his clothes.
Without any damage.
Zhao Shuo stood up straight again.
"Indeed, the Heavenly Lord’s Path of the Demon of the Outer Realm is unbeatable!"
With both hands stretched out and ten fingers pointing upwards, he burst into laughter.
Only such a cultivation method could allow him to instantly break through the boundaries.
"Feel my new power, which is comparable to [Field], it’s the Shadow Hand!"
As he shouted, more than ten hands appeared in the sky.
They covered Xiao Jinse in an orderly manner and within a moment, she was completely covered by them.
But…
Not enough, not nearly enough.
Xiao Jinse’s spinning slash shattered all of the dozens of hands into pieces.
She pounced like a predatory tiger and with just one sword strike, sent Zhao Shuo flying.
Zhao Shuo burst into laughter even before touching the ground. "This is entirely ineffective for me, struggling is meaningless. You better…"
His voice abruptly stopped the next moment.
He found his body cracking with terror.
The crack was so thin that not even a needle could be inserted, but it existed.
"!"
A pair of green wings spread wide.
Green feathers fluttered down.
In the midst of the divine light, Zhao Shuo saw a fiery red figure suddenly appear.
This was a dreamlike night view.
But to be honest, it was undoubtedly a nightmare.
Oops!
Zhao Shuo realized that he couldn’t avoid it at all.
He watched helplessly as the sword swept across his chest, and his body exploded under the tremendous impact.
If there was another sword strike, his soul would be completely shattered.
But to his surprise, Xiao Jinse didn’t continue her attack.
"My hatred towards you is actually very slight, to the point of non-existence. It was not you who declared my dismissal as Sword Bearer, and when we were in Hening City, you didn’t gain any advantage over me."
"What I hate is the name Sword Washing Pavilion, and…"
My own powerlessness.
Xiao Jinse tightly gripped the sword in her hand and flew towards Sword Washing Pavilion without hesitation.
Because of her powerlessness, she couldn’t hold onto anything precious to her.
Now that she finally possesses some power, all she can do is use it to the fullest.
Ignite.
Let the flames burn even brighter!
In Bai Lian’s eyes, the Second Martial Sister transformed into a soaring phoenix of fire.
In the sect leader’s eyes, Xiao Jinse was an ignorant and fearless individual attempting to break free from the prison of death.
"Is the Sword Washing Pavilion also a place where you can cause trouble?"
The anger of the sect leader was ignited intensely.
You wretched scoundrel!
He was clearly being humiliated, and he couldn’t sit still anymore.
"You!" He pointed casually at a senior fellow of the Sword Washing Pavilion, "go and stop her."
"???"
The sect leader didn’t give anyone time to react.
"Xiao Jinse is not a concern, the real trouble is Bai Lian. You keep an eye on Xiao Jinse, I will assist the immortal. We must not let Bai Lian escape this time."
Isn’t that the truth?!
"Sect leader, please quickly come and go."
The sect leader waved his hand, "no problem, I will not forget my promise just now. I will do my best to persuade the immortal."
Under the intense gaze of the crowd, the master quickly strode towards the Holy Spirit Sword Washing Pool.
He walked so fast that he kept getting faster and in the blink of an eye, he vanished.
The onlookers withdrew their gazes from the Holy Spirit Sword Washing Pool, wrapped in a magic array of dark purple and black.
In an invisible location, one after another, people were thrown into the Sword Washing Pool and became the keys to opening the Void Domain.
Some felt pity in their hearts.
But there were also those who felt jealous.
Damn it, why did the Sword Washing Pavilion have such good luck?
If the Sword Washing Pool were in their sect, wouldn’t it be them that the celestial beings take notice of?
Never mind.
"Let’s first see how the situation outside is."
The crowd turned their gaze towards the pavilion and saw the man who had just left standing tall on the mountain path.
"?"
Weren’t you supposed to stop Xiao Jinse? Where is she?
Just as everyone was puzzled, that person fell to the ground with a thump, holding his stomach and rolling in pain.
And the person standing where he had been standing was Xiao Jinse.
This scene didn’t scare the people in the room, but rather angered them.
"Dare you show off your abilities, you little girl!"
"You’ll die for killing our Sword Washing Pavilion disciple without reason!"
One after another, people were thrown out.
Xiao Jinse was immediately surrounded.
Bai Lian stared intently, and if the Second Martial Sister was in danger, she would have to intervene.
Even if it hurt the Second Martial Sister’s self-esteem, it was better than dying.
The battle was easier than Bai Lian had imagined.
Qing Luan’s Flame combined with Xiao Jinse could be described as a qualitative change. She had already had the cultivation base of the Soul Changing Stage, and now she could simulate the effect of the [Field]. Faced with these opponents of the Soul Changing Stage, she could cope even if she was deeply surrounded.
"It seems that I am overthinking."
Bai Lian felt that her mindset was not quite right.
In fact, her Martial Sisters were already quite powerful, but she still saw them as if they were cubs.
This won’t do.
Zhao Shuo was undoubtedly the most affected.
He lay on the ground, unable to move his neck, just watching as Xiao Jinse dodged and weaved through the crowd.
At this moment, he finally understood that Xiao Jinse truly had no regard for him.
What he found most unacceptable was that the people he valued disregarded him.
Ironically, just a moment ago, he had laughed arrogantly and claimed that the path of the Heavenly Lord taught by the Demon of the Outer Realm was invincible.
Twice.
He gave up everything.
And yet, without any surprises, he lost to Xiao Jinse twice!
Hahaha…
A sinister smile appeared on Zhao Shuo’s face.
The black mist surrounding his body gradually obscured his vision.
He began to sink into despair.
He had already experienced this feeling once in Hening City.
…
Xiao Jinse had never felt so excited before.
It was too close, she was only a hundred meters away from the Sword Washing Pavilion, a distance she could almost cross with one step forward.
Her body was burning, and so was her blood.
Even though more and more people appeared around her, she felt no fear.
Onward!
She had to break not only the spatial barrier, but also the barrier in her heart!
Therefore, even if she had more and more wounds, she didn’t step back.
What’s a few more injuries? Does she have few scars left on her body?
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian once said she would help remove her scars, but she refused because she wanted to remember everything that happened in the past.
Avoidance is not a solution to the problem at hand!
"Heavenly Propagation’s Forty-nine Swords!"
She swung her sword over and over again.
As the sword-light fell, she continued to unleash various spells.
However, the number of enemies was still too many, and she was injured even more severely.
Just as she was being pushed back again, Bai Lian’s voice echoed in her mind.
"Martial Sister, let me help you."
Xiao Jinse stood up, leaning on her sword.
Her back figure was not tall, but appeared exceptionally slender and graceful.
"Elder Martial Sister, I still remember the words you said to me on the square that day."
It must be that classic line.
Bai Lian suddenly recalled.
Xiao Jinse reached out her right hand, her palm was a bright flame.
"When I was in despair, it was Elder Martial Sister who stood up and brought light to my eyes, a light brighter than this flame, so now…"
She suddenly turned around in front of everyone.
It was an incredibly warm smile.
As brilliant as the warm sun in spring, her eyes squinted into lovely crescents.
Although her lips were stained with blood, it seemed to make her even more dazzling.
"I will prove that Elder Martial Sister’s words were not wrong!"
Xiao Jinse pressed the ball of fire fiercely onto her chest.
A majestic force erupted and instantly knocked away several attackers attempting to ambush her.
Then, she agilely spun and each of her strikes took a life.
Her arm broke, but was immediately stitched back together.
Her sword broke, but was promptly reconnected.
Finally, the person who blocked her way flinched.
"Why hasn’t the sect leader returned yet?"
"Where is the immortal, where is the immortal?"
"Have they not already realized the danger and fled?"
"Then aren’t we just becoming bait."
"Don’t speak carelessly. The celestial being is invincible, how can we judge it?"
"Indeed."
Regardless of what these people may think, Xiao Jinse’s gaze was fixed only on the Sword Washing Pavilion.
She crossed the long steps, passed through the corridor, and broke through the joint blockade of more than ten people.
Finally, after cutting down the barrier with a single stroke, she arrived at the Sword Washing Pavilion.
"Blowing Snow Sword!"
Swish.
The sword fell.
After the loud noise, the symbol of the Sword Washing Pavilion became a ruin in the raging fire.
Everyone around retreated in fear, and no one dared to stop Xiao Jinse again.
The girl standing in the ruins resembled a demon of fire emerging from the inferno.
However…
In Bai Lian’s view, the Second Martial Sister remains the same Holy Spirit Goddess, even more handsome than the effects of the Holy Spirit!
"I did it!"
One person defeated Sword Washing Pavilion.
Xiao Jinse turned to Bai Lian with a smile.
Before losing consciousness, she eagerly wanted to share her joy with Bai Lian.
But in this instant, her body suddenly froze.
What she saw was not the dilapidated Sword Washing Pavilion, but some images she had never seen before.
The protagonist in the images were none other than herself and Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
To foresee the future?
No.
That is definitely not the future she desires.
Because in those scenes, Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian died, and then she died too.
Her powerless appearance was exactly the same as when she was bullied by the Xiao family.
"The Second Martial Sister?"
Bai Lian, who detected something amiss, swiftly flew towards the stunned Xiao Jinse.
