Chapter 50: The Chosen Daughter of Heaven
Chapter 50: The Chosen Daughter of Heaven
Inside the Bloodcloak Pavilion at Skull Mountain Bazaar...
As soon as Lv Yang withdrew his consciousness from the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner, darkness suddenly overtook his vision and his spiritual awareness became clouded. Frowning, he turned his gaze toward the distant sky.
In the next instant, he activated his sword light and soared to the edge of the market town.
A brilliant beam of light flew through the heavens like lightning, finally arriving at the town gates and dispersing to reveal a tall, striking woman emerging from the radiance.
"It's the sword cultivators from the Pavilion."
Lv Yang, who had studied the Divine Thunder Sword Art, instantly recognized the sword aura. Bowing respectfully, he asked, "I am Lv Yang. Might I ask for your honorable name?"
"Yushu Yun Miaozhen."
At those words, Lv Yang narrowed his eyes. The similarity between "Yun Miaozhen" and "Yun Miaoqing" immediately raised suspicions.
"Have you come to retrieve your sectmate?"
Without hesitation, Lv Yang raised his hand and summoned Yun Miaoqing from the Bloodcloak Pavilion, sending her tumbling to a stop before Yun Miaozhen.
"Miaoqing has suffered no great indignities within the Holy Sect. Though she was my furnace in name, I've never drawn upon her essence. She remains untouched. If you wish to take her back, by all means do so. My cultivation is shallow, so I won't trouble myself to see you off."
Lv Yang believed he had no enmity with the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion. After all, he had saved Yun Miaoqing's life and preserved her purity. As the foremost righteous sect, he didn't expect Jade Pivot to turn against him.
But soon, he realized his mistake.
"Untouched... still pure?"
Yun Miaozhen's beautiful eyes lowered to her sister, showing no joy but instead disappointment and helplessness.
Sighing deeply, she said, "Alas! It seems your tribulations are far from over!"
Her words left both Lv Yang and Yun Miaoqing stunned.
"Big sister, what do you mean?"
"You lack the True Transmission, so you don't understand", Yun Miaozhen shook her head. "Your fortune is thin, your fate insufficient for cultivation, yet you forcefully pursued the Dao. Originally, you'd face three calamities and nine disasters. Fail any one, and you'd perish. So I begged our master to consolidate your tribulations into one great disaster lasting ten years."
"This ten-year disaster was your time within this evil sect."
"If, during these ten years, you endured every humiliation imaginable yet kept your Dao heart unshaken, you would have passed the tribulation."
"But you... you remained untouched!"
"Still pure, never humiliated, your tribulations won't diminish but likely intensify!"
She turned to Lv Yang, eyes filled with killing intent. "This demon ruined your cultivation. Though he feigns virtue, his heart holds sinister intentions. He must be eliminated!"
Lv Yang could hardly believe what he was hearing.
Yun Miaoqing trembled. "So the reason I fell into this evil sect, becoming their furnace..."
"I orchestrated it myself", Yun Miaozhen confirmed. "Without this, you'd never have Foundation Building success. As your elder sister, I did this for your own good."
Lv Yang was speechless.
What the hell? The righteous sect has crazy women!
If he had once held admiration for the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion, the foremost righteous sect in the land, that admiration was gone now.
Better to stay with the Holy Sect.
The disciples here are all extraordinary people. I love it here!
"Come, return with me", Yun Miaozhen declared. "I'll find another way for you to pass this tribulation."
But Yun Miaoqing instinctively stepped back, looking at her sister as though she were a stranger.
How could she have imagined that the nightmare of ten years ago - falling into the evil sect and nearly losing hope - had been orchestrated by her own flesh and blood? If it hadn't been for Lv Yang, saving her life and purity, she might have been drained of her essence and died in some corner.
"Obey me."
Seeing Yun Miaoqing's reaction, Yun Miaozhen frowned. "You lack great cultivation techniques and don't understand karmic causes, so naturally you can't grasp my intentions."
"Intentions?" Yun Miaoqing stepped back again, voice filled with hatred. "You call setting me up to be abused and drained of essence by the evil sect as your good intentions?"
"I call it following the karmic path and fulfilling heavenly justice. When you achieve success in cultivation, you'll thank me."
Yun Miaozhen spoke calmly, believing her actions completely justified by fate and karmic law.
When Yun Miaoqing tried to protest further, Yun Miaozhen simply raised her hand, sending a beam of light that wrapped around her sister and knocked her unconscious.
"Too many words accomplish nothing. We'll settle this later."
Only then did she turn back to Lv Yang.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lv Yang arched an eyebrow.
Her gaze was icy. "You deliberately ruined Miaoqing's cultivation. I'll take something from you in exchange."
Lv Yang laughed. "Let me guess - you want my head?"
His tone dripped with mockery.
She nodded, unfazed, her eyes narrowing with cold killing intent. "If you won't offer it willingly, I'll simply perform my duty to eradicate evil."
With that, she lifted her hand!
Instantly, a brilliant light illuminated ten miles in every direction - a crystalline sword of translucent jade, its surface reflecting a ten-mile landscape.
"You really think I fear you?"
Lv Yang laughed arrogantly, then spun and vanished into the market town as sword light, instantly activating the Hundred-Bone Reanimation Array and the Sword Array Diagram.
A hidden dragon in the abyss - who could slay me?
But Yun Miaozhen only smiled coldly. Without hesitation, she surged forward, her sword light piercing straight through the formation and into the market town!
Instantly, countless eyes turned toward the commotion.
Everyone remembered the previous incident with Ouyang Haoze. They all knew the Bloodcloak Pavilion's master was a Ninth-Rank Formation Art expert, holding a formation that made him nearly invincible.
Under these circumstances, where was Yun Miaozhen's confidence coming from to single-handedly attack the market town?
Almost simultaneously, several figures appeared outside the town. Among them were Divine Martial Gate's Elder Ouyang Feng and Three Rivers Association's Second Senior Brother Luo Wuya.
Though both were Refining Qi Perfection experts, their expressions were grave.
Their gazes, however, focused on another direction - the unremarkable middle-aged man who had arrived with Yun Miaozhen.
"Yun Zhiquei, the 'Great Unity Sword' expert?"
Luo Wuya's expression was serious. "Skull Mountain isn't in Jiangnan. Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion is overstepping."
Yun Zhiquei chuckled. "Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion exists solely to protect righteous cultivation. The Dao knows no borders."
"What arrogance!"
Luo Wuya laughed bitterly. "You'd better pray your little junior sister can walk out alive first."
Yun Zhiquei glanced at Lv Yang and Yun Miaozhen before shaking his head. "Still just an evil sect, using underhanded methods. But how can such petty techniques stand against true righteous cultivation?"
Hardly had he finished speaking when Yun Miaozhen inside the market town formed a hand seal, causing her crystal sword to erupt with dazzling radiance.
"It can't be..."
Luo Wuya and Ouyang Feng suddenly realized the truth, their faces paling. "That's the Skyfaring Sword! This woman possesses such a treasure?"
In the next moment, sword light engulfed the entire heavens.
Lv Yang poured all his energy into the formation arts, but both the Hundred-Bone Reanimation Array and the Bloodwash Celestial River Sword Array Diagram were effortlessly pierced by the sword light.
Boom!
When the sword light dissipated, only the two activated arrays remained in the market town. Inside them, nothing remained but emptiness and the crystal sword suspended in the sky.
