Chapter 11
When the disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley heard the name that Bai Canghai mentioned, all their expressions changed.
Behind the young man in white, a slightly younger girl stuck her head out and sized up the girl beside Feng Xia. Her expression gradually turned fearful.
“Black hair and white pupils, wearing a black veil… And this sense of oppression… There’s no mistake… She’s indeed the Hundred Nether Sect demoness!”
“But didn’t the Hundred Nether Sect demoness go to the Xuantian Battlefield a few days ago? Why would she suddenly appear in the Ancient Forsaken Land?”
For a moment, everyone from the Thousand Autumn Valley engaged in a quiet and fearful discussion.
Many of them were even on full alert and stood poised for battle, staring at the black-haired girl with a high level of vigilance.
“For the Hundred Nether Sect demoness to appear here, do you think that someone accidentally leaked information or is there a mole in our group?”
“However, it seems that there are only two of them! Since that’s the demoness of the Hundred Nether Sect, there is no need for any talk of morality—”
The dark-haired girl bit into a bamboo skewer with a blank expression. “?”
Feng Xia was also dumbfounded. “?”
No, let’s not talk about whether this mysterious girl is the Hundred Nether Sect demoness or not. Where do all you otaku boys and girls come from? Do you only recognize people by their clothes, hair and eye color, instead of their actual appearance?
If he, Feng Xia, put on a pair of contact lenses and wore a black veil, would you also suspect that he is the Hundred Nether Sect demoness?
And to that fellow who is prepared to disregard any morality, do you know that such a statement is the classic death flag!
“Demoness of the Hundred Nether Sect?”
The black-haired girl frowned and walked forward. At the same time, she raised her chin slightly and looked at the people from the Thousand Autumn Valley. “Who are you talking about? Is it someone I need to know?”
This girl was as honey-tongued as ever…
Just as Feng Xia shook his head and sighed, the expressions on the faces from everyone of the Thousand Autumn Valley changed again when they heard what the black-haired girl said.
At the critical moment, the eldest disciple, Bai Canghai, spoke up. He waved at his companions and said in a deep voice, “Miss, regardless of whether you are from the Hundred Nether Sect or not, we have no intention of becoming enemies with you. Now… Can you let us through?”
To be honest, he had been tempted for a moment.
After all, they had the upper hand in terms of the number of people, and the reputation of the Hundred Nether Sect demoness was really not that good. It would be nothing but beneficial for them if they could capture her here.
However, after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he gave up on this tempting idea.
Firstly, no matter how bad the reputation of the Hundred Nether Sect’s demoness was, there was actually not much enmity between her and the Thousand Autumn Valley. If they should fight with her and lose, the Thousand Autumn Valley would gain another powerful enemy instead.
Secondly, before he left the sect, he had promised to protect every junior brother and sister. The Hundred Nether Sect demoness was a very tricky person. If they really fought with her, he was not confident that he would be able to protect everyone!
“I won’t let you through.”
The dark-haired girl was as eloquent as ever. She frowned and shook her head without hesitation. “Why should I give way to you? Can’t you get out of my way?”
Feng Xia, who had experienced all kinds of online arguments, could already smell trouble.
As expected, the moment the girl spoke, someone in the Thousand Autumn Valley group could not help but shout out, “Demoness, you’re too impudent! If we’re elsewhere, and you have the Hundred Nether Sect backing you up, we would naturally avoid you. But this is the Ancient Forsaken Land. Even if you die here today, no one will know!”
“Don’t waste your breath on her anymore! The demoness is blocking our way because she wants to stop us from looking for opportunities!”
“Anyone is allowed to kill the Hundred Nether Sect demoness!”
Hey brother, you’re setting up a death flag again!
However, before Feng Xia could complain about it, he could feel a sharp sword qi suddenly rising from within the Thousand Autumn Valley group!
“Everyone, please listen to me…” Feng Xia felt that he could still do something about the heated situation.
“Don’t you dare deceive the public with your demonic talk, you minion of the demoness!”
However, he faced resistance the moment he spoke.
What demonic!
Is it that difficult to let me speak?
If you interrupt me again, I will call the police!
“What a baffling fellow.”
The black-haired girl’s expression also darkened. The dazzling sword qi freely slashed towards them. By now, it had already arrived right in front of the two of them, as if it would slash them on the spot in the next moment!
Swish, swish, swish—
Her body suddenly turned into a black shadow which exploded in all directions. Black spiders the size of fists crawled out of it, making terrifying rustling sounds.
“Hey, this is—”
Feng Xia realized that those spiders looked rather familiar!
However, before he could analyze the situation further, he heard the young man in white sigh and raise the three-foot-long blade in his hand. A sword flower bloomed like a burst of fireworks. “Thousand Spiders Ten Thousand Poison Technique. It’s indeed you, the demoness of the Hundred Nether Sect… My apologies for what’s coming then!”
The eldest disciple, Bai Canghai, finally made his move. The other disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley, who had been on standby for a long time, also used their cultivation techniques one after another. They moved in a blur as they unleashed killing moves one after another, sealing off all the paths of Feng Xia and the girl.
“Ridiculous!”
The black-haired girl finally felt impatient. As she finished yelling, the black spiders suddenly became a blur. They were shockingly fast, tearing through the air like bolts of black lightning!
“Good grief, no way—”
When Feng Xia saw this, he finally yelled out in shock.
He was extremely familiar with these large black spiders and the bolts of black lightning. In the months that he had been trapped in the Ancient Forsaken Land, he had dealt with them countless times!
He had killed these spiders in at least 100 different body positions. In fact, because he roasted the spiders every day, he even knew every detail of their body structure!
“In that case, wouldn’t the girl be…”
Crackle! Crackle!
All the attacking sword qi collided violently with the black lightning. However, in the next moment, all the sword qi dissipated, torn apart by the black lightning!
“Wh-what?”
“This power… Impossible! She’s already at the Inception Realm!?”
This scene shocked everyone from the Thousand Autumn Valley. “The main purpose for the demoness going to the Xuantian Battlefield is to open her Mystical Realm. It’s only been a few days, but she has already succeeded?”
It would be easy for an Inception Realm expert to finish all of them!
“Is that all you’ve got?”
The black-haired girl snorted softly. Everyone from the Thousand Autumn Valley instantly bristled and took an involuntary step back.
Then, the young girl swept her gaze over them. They felt suffocated and… took another careful step forward.
Do you dare to move?
No, I dare not move.
“Remember this clearly. My name is Zhu Youniang… I’m not some Hundred Nether Sect demoness.”
The black-haired girl, or Zhu Youniang, snorted again. Seeing the group nodding frantically, she immediately lost interest in continuing with the pursuit. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Feng Xia with interest.
“Fellow practitioner, your distinctive appearance and cultivation technique have already exposed your true identity. It’s useless to quibble.”
Bai Canghai sighed and extended the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, pointing it at Feng Xia’s throat.
In the chaotic battle, he did not face Zhu Youniang head-on. Instead, he chose to avoid her and to target the young man beside her!
“I’m sorry that my method is a little underhanded. However, this matter concerns the fate of my Thousand Autumn Valley, so I have no choice but to do this.”
“Actually,” Zhu Youniang said enthusiastically, raising a small hand, “I just thought…”
“Fellow practitioner, I can tell that you value this person very much. If you don’t want him to be injured for no reason, it’s better for you to surrender obediently.”
“No, I just wanted to remind you…” Zhu Youniang glanced at him with a strange expression.
“Eldest Brother is so mighty!”
“That’s great! Eldest Brother is so courageous and smart. He took control of the situation the moment he attacked!”
“Demoness, you must not have expected this! In the end, Brother Bai is still better than you!”
Another young man in blue raised his sword and pointed it at Zhu Youniang while shouting, “Demoness, put down your weapon and submit to your punishment!”
“Junior, she doesn’t seem to have a weapon…”
“It doesn’t matter if she has one or not. Anyone is allowed to kill the Hundred Nether Sect demoness!”
“You people…”
At this moment, Feng Xia sighed. “Why do you always like to draw your saber at the slightest disagreement?”
Zhu Youniang reminded him in a whisper, “He’s using a sword.”
“A sword is the same thing.” Feng Xia changed his tune without any sense of embarrassment at being corrected. “All in all, I don’t know the Hundred Nether Sect demoness you’re talking about, or what feud there is between you and her, but…”
“You—”
Bai Canghai’s pupils suddenly constricted.
At some point, Feng Xia had already reached out to touch his sword with one hand.
Yet, he had not noticed the movement at all!
“I don’t like having a sword pointed at me.”
Feng Xia’s fingers suddenly bent and flicked the Qingfeng Sword.
Crack!
Under Bai Canghai’s horrified gaze, the valuable sword that was forged in fire and which his master had given him… exploded into pieces!
“Also, you’re barking up the wrong tree.”
Feng Xia grabbed the young man with one hand while a golden brick (?) slowly appeared behind his head. In an instant, Bai Canghai’s face turned pale and he blurted out, “A… a Dao Platform Realm Champion?”
The level above Inception was Divine Power, and the Dao Platform was above Divine Power!
The target that he had chosen… was actually a Dao Platform Realm Champion?
“That’s what I wanted to warn you about earlier.” Zhu Youniang shrugged nonchalantly. “He’s more powerful than me.”
“Wrong. This is the Dao Brick Realm!”
At the same time, Feng Xia grabbed Bai Canghai’s collar and lifted him up. He repeatedly chanted internally, “A Foundation Establishment supreme being would kill until no one dares to challenge him.” Then, he gently pressed his palm on Bai Canghai’s chest!
“Go away, go back to where you came from!”
