Chapter 25: Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian Is Here!
Three thousand years is an eternity.
Even most cultivators cannot live for such a long time.
Such an immense span of time is enough for too many things to change.
Three thousand years ago,
Nanwang Country was the most powerful nation in Mingzhou.
Even the strongest sects in Mingzhou had to bow before the emperor of Nanwang Country.
But three thousand years later, Mingzhou became the so-called Sand Region.
Nanwang Country had deteriorated into a mortal kingdom with not a single cultivator left.
The once mighty sects were swept away in the passage of time.
Just like the snowflakes falling on the emperor’s head.
The emperor, standing atop his chariot, reached out to catch a snowflake,
watching it melt swiftly in his palm.
All the prosperity had long since been buried beneath the yellow sand.
In those days, when he returned from war, songs of victory would fill the air.
“The supreme emperor has returned to his loyal Nanwang City.”
Now…
“All right,” the emperor sighed.
The past belongs to the past, and the present is what it is.
He should never have appeared in this era again.
If not for the evil thoughts in his heart,
even with the protection of the Spirit Tool, he would have eventually disappeared from the world.
He did not see this as something to fear.
Stars cannot be eternal, so how could cultivators ever achieve immortality?
What truly frightened him was his current state.
He had returned from the dust with his countless sand soldiers,
but what he wanted to do next was not to restore the glory of Nanwang,
but to unleash indiscriminate slaughter on Nanwang City!
The emperor, accustomed to life and death, trembled.
How is this any different from killing your own children?
Speaking of children,
The emperor bowed his head.
His eyes fell first on Wen Su, who was filled with tears.
That child was in the same state as him.
Then the emperor turned to Ling Yue.
Is this the vessel Tao Huai and the evil idea chose for him?
That child is too reserved, she should be more outgoing.
The emperor wanted to look at the people of Nanwang City again,
but then he heard an urging voice.
“Let’s get started.”
In fact, this was more of an order.
But the word “order”…
It still left a bad taste in his mouth.
The emperor raised his spear.
The soldiers who emerged from the sea of sand with him turned around simultaneously.
They formed a perfectly ordered battle formation.
As the long spear slowly thrust forward,
a frenzied, violent howl shook the night sky.
“Kill!”
“Charge for the emperor!”
“Exterminate all rebels!”
Boom.
The sand soldiers began to march toward Nanwang City,
and the rising dust blocked both the sky and the sun.
Bai Lian was shocked.
Ling Yue was stunned.
The people running around Nanwang City were frightened.
“It’s over!”
The traders who came from afar were the most terrified.
They had no idea what was happening, but they knew they were about to die!
Tens of thousands of sand soldiers rushed the city from the desert,
outnumbering the population of Nanwang City.
How could the city possibly withstand this?
Those sand soldiers could kill them all within the hour!
Some traders wailed.
“If I had known, I would never have come here.”
“Mom, I miss you!”
Su Youwei, standing nearby, rolled her eyes.
The internal demon couldn’t help but scold,
“Why are you crying? Crying for your mother?”
“Well…”
Su Youwei quickly dragged the internal demon away.
She feared that if the internal demon got angry,
she would wipe out all those people.
That wouldn’t do.
If she did that, there would surely be people criticizing Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
“Why does Fairy Bai Lian of the Duxian sect have such a bloodthirsty Martial Sister? It’s too disgusting.”
To hell with that!
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian must not be bullied!
So, Su Youwei pointed to the unhappy internal demon and said,
“I remember you told me not to make trouble for Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian a while ago,
but what are you doing now? Listen to me,
our Elder Martial Sister is fighting with those villains in the royal city;
We can’t cause any trouble for her, understand?”
In case her internal demon would argue back,
she prepared some “rough” means in advance to show her internal demon who’s boss!
But to her surprise, the internal demon simply nodded.
“I see.”
After saying that, the internal demon turned her head aside.
She…
Su Youwei’s cheeks bulged with anger.
They’re obviously the same person, so why does this bad woman always want to annoy her?
“Miss Su,” Zhao Haiya called out.
He had just returned from the area around the royal city.
He had originally planned to rush in to help Bai Lian,
but the light curtain outside the royal city had immediately made him abandon the idea.
It was too thick!
He couldn’t break through it with his strength.
Zhao Haiya could only return with a bitter smile.
The more he realized his own insignificance,
the more he understood how difficult it was to be a Saint.
Bai Lian was truly a Saint; she truly deserved all the praise!
But Zhao Haiya did not despair.
If you can’t be a Saint, strive to learn from the Saint and share their wisdom with the world!
Do not let virtue languish in obscurity.
He still had something to contribute.
He would help the residents of Nanwang City and protect Su Youwei,
so Bai Lian would have no worries while fighting with the emperor.
Bai Lian, noticing his actions, was indeed relieved.
There was nothing to worry about!
Although the sand soldiers were powerful, they posed no threat to Zhao Haiya.
Now, she just needed to protect Ling Yue behind her.
“Tianshu Sword Array!”
Bai Lian gently called out and summoned the sword array to surround Ling Yue.
She then incorporated all the Formation Flags her Master had given her in order to increase its power.
Now was not the time to hold back.
The emperor’s presence weighed heavily on her.
He had slept for thousands of years and was still this powerful.
How strong must he have been when he was alive?
Bai Lian didn’t know, and she didn’t care to know.
The emperor, floating in the air, opened his mouth and said,
“I will not kill Ling Yue before I kill you.”
“…”
Why didn’t you say so earlier?
Bai Lian now regretted using the Formation Flags.
They were her Master’s gifts!
She had treasured them for so long.
Damn it!
I, Martial Sister Bai Lian, will pull you down from the throne today!
Bai Lian was furious.
The emperor thrust his spear forward.
A terrifying power surged from his body,
and the falling snow was blown away in an instant.
Instead of attacking immediately, he used his power to make all the trembling maids and priests within the royal city collapse to the ground.
“?”
Bai Lian was stunned.
What is this situation?
Before she could figure it out, the emperor spoke in an indifferent voice,
“Genius of this new era, let me see your strength!”
Forget it.
Bai Lian took a deep breath.
After defeating the emperor, she would have time to think!
She gripped the Dirt Free Sword in her hand.
What’s the most important thing in a battle?
It’s momentum!
It’s a Special Effect!
You have tens of thousands of sand soldiers, I command thousands of water spirit Qi.
You stand on a chariot in the sky, but billions of stars stand behind me.
At that moment, Bai Lian underwent a transformation.
Guided by the water-type cultivation method within her,
she unleashed a massive flood of water, covering the sky above the royal city.
The emperor tried to dispel the deluge in vain, and his chariot was submerged.
At the same time, the translucent Star Moon Disk appeared behind Bai Lian.
Reflecting the now watery sky were thousands of stars and a bright moon of the Star Moon Disk,
blindingly bright and incredibly realistic.
The emperor looked on in dismay.
This is…
In a daze, he subconsciously thought he was among the stars.
This was not a power that the people of this small world could master.
The emperor suddenly understood.
No wonder Bai Lian had such strength at such a young age.
He exclaimed,
“So you are the reincarnation of a Star Lord!”
A Star Lord is just one step away from becoming an Immortal Emperor. Even if the immortal who perished three thousand years ago returned to life, they would not stand a chance against a Star Lord.
The emperor’s heart, once cold, warmed slightly.
This woman, Bai Lian…
Perhaps she can defeat me before I commit irredeemable crimes!
Ling Yue, watching Bai Lian and the emperor, was confused.
What exactly is a Star Lord?
She couldn’t understand, but Tao Huai and the malevolent ideas lurking under the altar knew exactly what it meant.
No way, no way!
Is Bai Lian the reincarnation of a Star Lord?
What the hell!
If that’s the case, the emperor stands no chance against Bai Lian.
Despite the panic from Tao Huai and the evil ideas, the battle began.
Bai Lian raised her sword and charged at the emperor, striking with all her might.
Damn Emperor, your Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is here!
