Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 110

Chapter 110: This Saber Strikes Fear into the Entire Tianyin Sect

Among the flowers, Hong Yuye held a silver-white saber.

She examined it in her hand for a moment before asking Bai Zhi what she thought of the saber.

At that moment, Bai Zhi felt the oddity but dared not overthink it; she simply observed the long saber on the verge of breaking and said.

“This saber should be a Half-Moon, commonly used as a transitional weapon during the Foundation Establishment phase. However, this saber is full of cracks and likely can’t be used anymore.”

“Indeed, it can no longer be used,” Hong Yuye nodded, agreeing with Bai Zhi’s assessment.

As her voice fell, she walked to the lakeside, holding the saber.

At the edge of the water, she watched the lake, serene and elegant.

The wind danced around her, and the flowers swayed.

After a moment of silence, she turned to Bai Zhi.

“I remember you used to study the saber.”

“Yes, but the Sect Leader said I was not suited for the saber, which led to my achievements today,” Bai Zhi nodded in response.

Her success today was indeed due to the Sect Leader’s cultivation.

She had been on the wrong path, so despite her talent, she could never go far.

It was only after meeting the Sect Leader that everything started to improve, leading to her position as Tianyin Sect’s Protector Elder and the power of a deputy Sect Master.

“I recall you studied Moon Shadow?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yes,” Bai Zhi nodded, though she didn’t understand why the Sect Leader was suddenly bringing this up.

Hong Yuye lifted the saber and caressed the blade, speaking softly:

“To you, learning the saber was an obsession. Even though you gave it up, you’ve always wanted to know what Major Achievement in Moon Shadow would be like, haven’t you?”

Hearing this, Bai Zhi felt somewhat ashamed but hesitated and then nodded.

“There is some of that.”

“Then watch closely,” Hong Yuye said as she swung the saber in her hand, which seemed to start dancing.

Then, in Bai Zhi’s gaze, Hong Yuye’s surroundings shone like a bright moon illuminating the earth, leaving moon shadows even under the bright sun.

Afterward, the Half-Moon was swung.

A slash was made.

A bright moon appeared in the sky.

The bright moon moved like a blade, seeming to tear through the void.

The saber’s edge cut through everything.

Under the bright moonlight and sunlight, the moon’s shadow blossoms, seemingly eclipsing all other light, becoming the sole illumination.

Bai Zhi, originally stunned by this slash, suddenly sees the direction in which the moon’s shadow is cleaving and instantly feels a mix of shock and unease.

This slash is aimed at the people of the Xuantian Sect and the others.

……

“Tomorrow, I will stab him in front of Lawless Tower, then watch him enter. This way, we can still offer the original resources,” said Xin Dong of Luoxia Sect to the people of Tianyin Sect.

He must make Jiang Hao pay a sufficient price for this trip.

“We of Xuantian Sect have no objections either, but we won’t make up the twenty percent. Of course, we also want to witness Jiang Hao entering Lawless Tower,” Yang Huo added.

Chi Yuan watched coldly, not uttering a word.

It seemed that if the other party dared to refuse, he would dare to turn around and leave.

Fairy Qingyan was not angry, not really.

Just as she was about to nod in agreement,

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her back and immediately turned to look.

What she saw made her freeze on the spot.

In the depths of Tianyin Sect, a bright moon suddenly appeared, its light cutting through the void like a blade heading their way.

The moonlight stole the brilliance of the world, becoming the only thing visible to everyone.

But in the blink of an eye, the moonlight flew over her head, and she felt as if she had just walked the edge of life and death.

A terrifying sensation and a chilling horror spread throughout her body.

She instantly trembled in fear.

And with her fear, the slash headed towards Yang Huo and the others.

This attack was very conspicuous; Yang Huo and the others noticed it immediately, somewhat in disbelief.

“How dare you? Aren’t you afraid of starting a war?”

In shock, they defended themselves at once.

Some even turned to flee.

However, it was all in vain.

The moon’s shadow swept through everything, all defenses crumbled, all magical treasures shattered.

The moon’s shadow, like the scythe of death, began to reap lives.

“Tianyin Sect really has some nerve, you actually dare…”

With a whoosh, the moon’s shadow cut through the terrified Yang Huo, swept past the fearful Xin Dong, caught up with the fleeing Chi Yuan, and the others behind them.

The slash was like a gust of wind, arriving quickly and leaving just as fast.

Out of the thirteen, the one at the Golden Core completion stage looked around in fear, and when the moon’s shadow passed over him, he screamed.

However, he found himself unharmed.

Just when he thought it was all a false alarm,

Pfft~

Suddenly, the other twelve sprayed blood from their necks, heads separated from bodies, and life extinguished.

One slash passed, and aside from the weakest one, twelve corpses fell from the sky.

Blood scattered everywhere.

For a moment, the edge of Tianyin Sect fell silent, as if struck by a cold chill.

At this time, Bai Zhi knelt on one knee.

Full of fear and trepidation.

The sect leader’s personal intervention could only mean one thing.

She, as the acting sect leader, had mishandled the situation.

Hong Yuye made one slash and then made no further moves, simply carrying the blade to the flowerbed.

Gently, she inserted the blade back into its place.

Only then did she look towards Bai Zhi, her voice cold.

“Take a message to Xuantian Sect, tell them to bring some sincerity next time they come. Also, send all the prisoners into Lawless Tower for five days. If they lack sincerity next time, they need not come again, and those captured need not leave Lawless Tower either.”

With that, she walked to the pavilion and slowly sat down, saying.

“You may leave.”

“Your subordinate obeys,” Bai Zhi said with trepidation.

At this moment, she finally understood one thing: only Jiang Hao could plant the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

She should never have allowed Jiang Hao to be thrust into such a precarious position.

Yet, she didn’t understand why the sect leader, who didn’t seem to care much about him, was now taking such action.

But now she didn’t dare to think too much, and she promptly left.

She needed to handle this matter well.

After Bai Zhi left, Hong Yuye gently pressed her finger to her lips and coughed lightly twice.

She seemed a bit uncomfortable.

……

Outside Tianyin Sect, Fairy Qingyan and the others were sweating profusely.

Had that slash been aimed at them, then perhaps there would have been three more corpses.

For a moment, their eyes were filled with awe and fear.

At the same time, a white figure descended from the high sky.

It was Bai Zhi, coming from Baihua Lake.

Seeing Bai Zhi, Fairy Qingyan, Ku Wuchang, and the others immediately bowed respectfully.

Bai Zhi did not pay them any mind but looked towards the last surviving Golden Core completion stage individual.

“Are you from Xuantian Sect?” Bai Zhi asked.

“Y-yes,” the Golden Core completion stage individual said in fear.

“Go back and tell your people to bring some sincerity next time they come. Additionally, because of your unreasonable behavior, everyone will be sent to Lawless Tower for five days. If this happens again next time, you don’t need to come back, and those who stay with us won’t need to leave Lawless Tower either.” Bai Zhi said coldly to the other party.

“Leave if you understand.”

In an instant, that person scrambled away from Tianyin Sect.

Only then did Bai Zhi turn to look at the Fairy Qingyan and others, finally speaking in a deep voice.

“The Sect Master has not yet emerged from seclusion, but this matter cannot be taken lightly by the twelve main branches. Those who disobey will either step down themselves or I will help them step down.”

After saying this, Bai Zhi turned and left, adding, “Dismissed.”

With that, today’s events came to a close.

……

Jiang Hao was somewhat stunned; he had made many guesses, but he had not anticipated this outcome.

“Was it Elder Bai Zhi who took action?” he asked subconsciously.

“Does Junior Brother think it looks like it?” Liu Xingchen retorted.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao shook his head.

It didn’t seem like it.

Although these people were respectful towards Elder Bai Zhi, they showed not respect but panic and fear in the face of that strike.

The only person more terrifying than Elder Bai Zhi in Tianyin Sect was one.

The Sect Master, the Tianyin Demon.
