All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me

Ji Nanjue was silent for a while, looking at Su Bei without saying a word.

At this moment, her curiosity about this man intensified.

Had she not taken over the imperial power, perhaps she might have become friends with him?

「...」

Ji Nanjue meticulously observed Xiao Ruoching in front of her and nodded gently.

Su Bei himself had struggled to discern his talent, but this woman had seen it at a glance.

Innate Taoist Body!

Indeed, there was no exaggeration in Su Bei's claim of the finest talent throughout the Twenty-One Provinces.

Ji Nanjue's gaze was indifferent as she watched Xiao Ruoching, a phantom of a Phoenix slowly circling around her.

Xiao Ruoching's gaze was fixed on the woman before her. Although she didn't know who this woman was, she knew she was her lifesaver.

Her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of her Master standing to the side, hands behind his back, looking at her with a smile.

This was the fortune her Master had bestowed upon her; she absolutely must not let down his earnest efforts!

"This fortune was obtained by your Master for you. Feel it with your heart!"

Ji Nanjue watched Xiao Ruoching expressionlessly and said in a cold voice, "The Sword Sect actually possesses two types of Sword Qi."

"Thousands of years ago, when the Sword Sect was known as the Underworld Sword Sect, its Sword Scripture was divided into two parts."

"The current Sword Scripture contains what's called the Immortal Sword Qi, while the other is the Sovereign Sword Energy, which bears more of a killing intent compared to the Immortal Sword Qi!"

「...」

Ji Nanjue had discovered this unique volume in the royal archives. It seemed to contain a memory fragment and the imprint of a Cultivation Technique sealed within it.

Now that she had encountered a Sword Sect Disciple here, it seemed like fate for her to resolve her connection with the Sword Sect.

Ji Nanjue stepped forward lightly, extended her slender fingers, and gently touched Xiao Ruoching's forehead. A pure surge of Spiritual Energy, mixed with obscure memory fragments and the imprint of the Cultivation Technique, was lightly transmitted into her Sea of Consciousness.

Suddenly, within her consciousness, Xiao Ruoching found herself on a battlefield!

Dust was everywhere—bloodstains, corpses, cries of war, and the clash of swords!

Xiao Ruoching felt as insignificant as an ant amidst the vast Sword Qi. Then, she looked up and saw a figure!

Standing between heaven and earth, it seemed he was the only one in the entire world.

He extended his hand, and numerous swords revolved around him. Behind him were countless blossoming golden lotuses in full bloom!

The next moment, the figure swung the sword in his hand!

The sky instantly erupted with countless golden lights, their coverage so vast they almost enveloped the entire world. The force was like the great tide of a river at dusk, approaching rapidly. The figure kept swinging his sword; the rolling golden light was like the perpetual waves of a great river, one after another, without end.

The entire sky was filled with golden light!

In front of the figure were countless physical cultivators. One of them seemed to say something, and the next moment, he transformed into a gigantic being and attacked the figure!

A boundless torrent of golden light poured down from the heavens. For a moment, the sky tore apart, shattering inch by inch like glass mirrors produced in the Far West!

That peerless Sovereign Sword Energy was devastatingly unstoppable. Despite numerous physical cultivators from The Wilderness bombarding it, it remained unswayed!

Irresistible, the sword's might was like a collapsing mountain!

Above the heavens, only a dazzling light was seen, followed by the blossoming of a ten-thousand-zhang golden lotus that split half the sky with a single slash!

In front of the Han Baiyu Mountain Gate of the Sword Sect, swords rained from the sky. Under the twilight, there was no blood-red setting sun, no people. There was only the vast, powerful, and immense golden Sword Qi. It surged majestically, shooting straight into the nine heavens, grand and unparalleled.

It was all swords.

Eight hundred Sword Immortals emerged from the Sword Sect.

This Style Royal Sword was called Mountain and River Divide!

A morning sun slowly rose, its light crimson, the lake water jade green, coupled with the snowy shadows of the bamboo thicket.

Ji Nanjue looked back once more at Su Bei, seeing him still smiling gently at her and waving his hand in farewell. Her heart filled with complex emotions again. With a deep sigh, she turned and disappeared from Unrepentant Cliff.

Such cultivation, such a state of mind, is indeed fine...

「...」

An unknown amount of time passed while Xiao Ruoching remained seated with her eyes closed. Suddenly, boundless Spiritual Energy surged around her.

The extremely pure Spiritual Energy from Ji Nanjue was like an enlightening elixir, and her realm advanced wildly, as if propelled by a rocket:

Early Stage Foundation Establishment, Mid Stage Foundation Establishment, Late Stage Foundation Establishment, Peak Foundation Establishment!

At that point, her breakthrough halted. The remaining Spiritual Energy formed an inner core, which was stored in Xiao Ruoching's Dantian.

For a Tribulation Transcendence Realm powerhouse, even a casual flick of a finger contained terrifying Spiritual Energy. This was enough to sustain an ordinary cultivator's practice all the way to the Golden Core stage.

Just as Xiao Ruoching was frantically digesting the pure energy within her body, Su Bei's mind instantly registered a clear and long-awaited "DING!"

The excitement was simply indescribable!

"DING!"

"Congratulations to the Host's senior disciple for comprehending the Sovereign Sword Scripture, Second Move: Mountain and River Divide!"

"Congratulations to the Host's senior disciple for successfully breaking through to Peak Foundation Establishment!"

"The system will now randomly provide 8,848 times feedback!"

"..."

"Congratulations to the Host for gaining 44,000,000 experience points! Current realm: Peak of Divinity Transformation!"

"Congratulations to the Host for comprehending the Sovereign Sword Scripture, Second Move: Mountain and River Divide (One Hundredfold Amplification)!"

"The Host's current Spiritual Energy limit only allows for one hundred uses of Mountain and River Divide. The remaining feedback is being automatically compensated..."

"DING! Congratulations to the Host for exceeding expectations and comprehending seven moves of the Sovereign Sword Scripture."

"First Move: Melancholy Intent (One Hundredfold Amplification)"

"Third Move: Grass Concealing the Heavens (One Hundredfold Amplification)"

"Fourth Move: Dusk After Rain (One Hundredfold Amplification)"

"Fifth Move: Homeward (One Hundredfold Amplification)"

"Sixth Move: Immortal's Guide (One Hundredfold Amplification)"

"Seventh Move: Smiling at the Vault of Heaven (One Hundredfold Amplification)"

"..."

Feeling the changes in his body, Su Bei gasped. He sensed the Spiritual Energy within him instantly become abundant, and his every movement was filled with indescribable power!

This wave of my own... this wave is what you call an epic-level enhancement!

His eyes, gazing at Xiao Ruoching who sat quietly cultivating, seemed to behold a precious treasure!

Truly worthy of being my disciple! The more I look, the happier I become! The more I look, the more excited I get!

This disciple... is just so gratifying to have!

Under the light, Xiao Ruoching kept her eyes firmly closed. Sweat dampened her hair, and a defiant curve touched her lips. The snow-white silk Sword Sect robe she wore had become nearly transparent from the dampness. It faintly revealed the design of a plump fish stitched on it, which seemed ready to break free.

Then Xiao Ruoching slowly opened her eyes. As her gaze met Su Bei's, a trace of shyness flickered within them.

This time, however, she didn't exclaim or cry out. She gently rose, lifting her robe just enough to reveal her slender calves and the delicate, alluring lines of her small ankles.

Xiao Ruoching walked up to Su Bei. Her cheeks gradually reddened, her long eyelashes trembled lightly, and a shimmering mist seemed to well up in her eyes.

Then, to Su Bei's astonishment, she lifted her robe and knelt on the ground, performing a respectful kowtow to him.

"Master."

This kowtow was truly heartfelt.

She had doubted him countless times, constantly wanting to kill him, to push him into the dark abyss.

And yet, under his repeated gentle forbearance, under the gaze of his handsome, smiling eyes, she had found release...

She decided not to dwell on anything else.

She hadn't forgiven him so swiftly, but this time, she would no longer view him with the prejudice of her past life!

If he did not fail her, how could she fail him?

Xiao Ruoching raised her head and looked straight into Su Bei's eyes, which shimmered brightly beneath the light.

She had received the entire fortuitous opportunity from Unrepentant Cliff, while her Master had gained nothing. She truly felt the weight of this immense favor!

This kindness was indeed a debt as heavy as a mountain; a single kowtow was insufficient to repay even a ten-thousandth of it.

"Master is not an unworthy master."

"In this disciple's heart, Master is Master!"

"...The very best Master!"

"..."

A beautiful arc formed on Xiao Ruoching's lips, and her ordinarily cool, unsmiling face showed a smile for the first time.

It was a very satisfied smile, tinged with an indescribable, profound meaning.

Su Bei blinked, looking at his prodigal disciple, who for the first time was paying him such solemn respects. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Huh? Am I... really as good as she says?

ps: (The Mo City arc has concluded.)
