Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Whoosh——
With a flowing white cloud dress, Chu Youwei, who looked like a fairy in the clouds, cradling the Thousand Feathered Zither, made her entrance.
The whole scene erupted once again:
"Eh, who is this fairy!?"
"She called him Eldest Senior Brother, so she must be a disciple of Divine Phoenix Peak!"
"Another one from Divine Phoenix Peak? Before it was the fairy in red, and now we have a fairy who plays the zither stepping forward; this is too outrageous!"
"If Ye Chen continues to provoke, I'm afraid the real world-class beauty, Chief Xiao, will storm in!"
"Wow, being the elder brother of Divine Phoenix Peak is just too blessed!"
....
"This young girl seems to be...the disciple of Junior Sister Hongling?" On the high seat, Sect Leader True Master Ziyun mumbled.
"Yes, this girl indeed is the rare Zither Heart and Sword Spirit that is seen once in a thousand years." The chairman of the Red Cloud Peak, True Master Chisong, narrowed his eyes.
"Good heavens, this is a big deal! This Ye Chen has inexplicably made enemies with two of the disciples from the Phoenix Peak, we have to intervene, right?" True Master Yuanyi eagerly said.
"There's no need, if the disciples of Divine Phoenix Peak don't mind, why should we rush?"
Su Mei, on one side, with her deep eyes, said: "Why not just wait and see?"
"I agree." True Master Chisong echoed.
....
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao rushed over and clutched Chu Youwei's delicate hand!
"Third Junior Sister, hurry up and retreat!"
"This is a duel between men!"
He prepared to pull Chu Youwei out of the field, but suddenly found....
This time, the touch was different?
The originally cold little hand of his opponent had become incredibly hot - there were even burn marks on it!
"You.....you forcefully cultivated the seventh volume of the 'Heavenly Sound Sword and Piano Secret,' the 'Devouring Heart Demon Zither'?"
Lin Xiao was tremendously shocked!
It turned out that the 'Heavenly Sound Sword and Piano Secret' that Chu Youwei was practicing was a secret book left by the ancestors of Qinglan Sect. It was extremely powerful and only those with the Zither Heart and Sword Spirit could practice it!
The seventh volume, the Devouring Heart Demon Zither, was half involved with the Demons. It possessed the destructive power of heaven and earth under the blend of the principles of immortals and demons!
However, once it's practiced, it would greatly harm one's lifespan and the physical body.
Therefore, Master Xiao Hongling strictly forbade her to practice this volume.
You should know, in the original text, when Ye Chen was trapped by the Three Great Martial Saints sent by the Great Zhou Empress and faced great danger, Chu Youwei, who was beside him, didn't make up her mind to use this move!
And now, for him...
This plot....is not supposed to be so terrifying!
"No wonder she's nowhere to be seen..."
"She has been practicing the Devouring Heart Demon Zither all night!"
At this moment, Lin Xiao was greatly shocked!
He had a strong feeling that the reason why his third junior sister, Chu Youwei, forced herself to practice this demonic technique was to stand up for him at this moment!
People are not herbs and trees.
To say that he's not moved at all, would be a lie!
If it weren't for the task of being an antagonist, he would have rushed to hold the young girl in his arms and kissed her fiercely!
"Third Junior Sister, you... why did you practice that demonic technique?"
Lin Xiao asked through gritted teeth.
"Because I can only protect you, Eldest Senior Brother, if I become strong enough..."
A beautiful smile appeared on Chu Youwei's pale face, showing slight dimples.
"You... it's not worth it! It's not necessary!"
At this moment, Lin Xiao's heart was surging, and his voice was a bit hoarse.
He even felt that his intention of "completing the mission early and going home" was slightly shaken!
"Of course, it's worth it. One day, Eldest Senior Brother will understand Weiwei's feelings."
Chu Youwei just shook her head with a smile. With a wave of her hand, her figure rose up and flew towards the stage.
In her heart, she was whispering:
"Eldest Senior Brother, in the past, Weiwei didn't understand and always guarded against you. I had many misconceptions about you!"
"Until the light screen appeared in my mind and showed me everything that will happen in the future!"
"That's when I came back to my senses..."
"It turns out that the only person who really cares about me here at Qinglan Sect is you, Eldest Senior Brother!"
"The one carrying all the blame silently, the one who is shielding everyone from the disaster star, Ye Chen, it is also you!"
"You are the true 'Hero' you often talk about!"
"Therefore! Taking advantage of everything that hasn't happened yet, Weiwei must guard you well..."
"The best Eldest Senior Brother in the world!"
Under the surging emotions, a zither note transformed into a golden wave and burst out. Chu Youwei pointed her toe and was about to fly into the air.
Suddenly——
Whoosh!
A piercing and intense blue sword light, carrying the horrifying sword intent akin to a catastrophic sea, swept down from the Nine Heavens!
It was as powerful as thunder, dominantly unyielding, and awe-inspiring!
In a flash, the sword light was like a thunderbolt, falling from the Nine Heavens to the center of the stage!
"Such a strong Sword Intent!"
The entire crowd couldn't help but let out an amazed exclamation!
Even the Supreme Elders on the high platform who were in meditation couldn't help but change their countenances!
The next moment, under the gazes of tens of thousands of eyes...
The sword light dissipated abruptly, revealing a tall woman with superior appearance, who was ethereal and cold as an Immortal Fairy of the moon palace.
It was, in fact, Xiao Hongling from the Qinglan Sect—the highest-ranking battle leader amongst the five head seats, the youngest, and the most dominant and unrestrained Sect Leader of Phoenix Peak— "The first beauty in the East Region!"
"Youwei, step back now! Do not obstruct your eldest senior brother!"
"Would the eldest disciple of Divine Phoenix Peak be afraid of a common martial artist?"
Xiao Hongling's expression remained cool. Her long blue hair fluttered in the wind. Her dominant Sword Intent swiftly silenced the crowd!
Yes.
After a night of contemplation.
She could not help but intervene earlier than she should have.
....
....
As expected.
Xiao Hongling's dominant appearance.
Caused an unprecedented sensation in the square!
The atmosphere today reached its peak!
"Beautiful! So beautiful! This is the most gorgeous woman in the world!"
"I thought the two fairies just now were beautiful enough, but this master is even more charming!"
"Truly worthy of being the famous Fairy Hongling of the Divine State!"
"It seems that only beautiful women are in Phoenix Peak! I am so envious of this Eldest Senior Brother!"
.....
The sounds of admiration were heard everywhere.
In the end, all eyes were focused on Lin Xiao, full of envy!
"Envy? Envy my ass."
At this moment, Lin Xiao was in agony.
The protagonist Ye Chen finally started the duel in rage, but now the plot has begun to deviate again!
According to the original plot, he accepted Ye Chen's challenge, arrogantly taunted him, and was crushed by Ye Chen, losing face.
Then, Ye Chen's Spiritual Beast, the Purple Flame Demon Mink, suddenly appeared, pulling out the socks he had stolen from his arms, causing an uproar in the whole arena, and he lost both his fame and fortune!
At this point in time, Master Xiao Hongling would descend from the sky and save him forcibly!
The current plot sequence is obviously twisted!
"Well, well, there's no use crying over spilled milk."
"Still barely acceptable."
"At least Master stopped Third Junior Sister and let me duel with Ye Chen!"
Lin Xiao was slightly relieved, then came to Xiao Hongling, held his head high, and set a classic villain flag:
"Thank you, Master, for your trust! Master, don't worry. If someone dares to challenge me to a duel, I will annihilate him with a snap of my fingers to repay your kindness!"
As soon as his words fell.
Ding!
"Successfully recovered the plot! Your rewards: Sword Dao +5, movement technique +5, True Yuan strength increased by 40%!(Reached the threshold of the Innate Realm)"
Damn, it's happening again?
Bloody system!
Don't you think you're bullying the honest man!
Lin Xiao was genuinely a little angry!
He is now at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm and has the Formless Sword Body. He is afraid that he can't control his power and might accidentally kill Ye Chen!
At this critical moment, triggering such substantial rewards, isn't this pouring oil on fire!
"Xiao'er, I believe in you. As long as you do your best, this Ye Chen will be no match for you! Additionally..."
Xiao Hongling's phoenix eyes were serious, she spoke in a low and cold voice via communication secret method:
"Remember what your master told you last night, when the opportunity arises, kill him!"
"Ah... okay! I will do my best!"
Lin Xiao could only grit his teeth and reply.
"That's my good boy."
Xiao Hongling suddenly changed her expression and revealed a girlish sunny smile: "So, fight hard! If you win, tonight, I'll give you an unexpected reward!"
Reward?
Please don't, Elder!
If you could just remain the highest-ranking battle figure in the background of the whole book, go out and have more fun, and not interfere with the normal progression of the plot, I would really appreciate it!
Lin Xiao complained a few times in his heart.
Then, with an audacious and arrogant expression on his face, he commanded his sword with a single hand, and flew towards the fight stage with a sneer:
"You, Ye Chen! You even have the audacity to challenge the chief eldest brother of Divine Phoenix Peak?"
"Prepare to meet your doom!"
