All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me

Sword Sect, at the foot of Mount Danxia.

Having suffered a harsh caning at Red Dust Peak, Mo Youqian and his companions wore aggrieved expressions. Yet, they could only grit their teeth and swallow the pain.

Damn it, they could twist the truth, but they shouldn't have twisted it to such an extent! But in the heat of the moment, who cared about logic? They even blurted out something as far-fetched as Elder Su slaying a Dao Integration Great Demon with a single sword stroke at the base of Unrepentant Cliff. If they didn't take the beating, who would?

What's more, they didn't know who spread the word... Now, whenever they casually bumped into someone, that person would approach them with a serious expression and invariably ask:

"Where on earth did you go? How did you just disappear all of a sudden?"

"Did Elder Su really slay a Dao Integration Beast with a single sword stroke at Unrepentant Cliff?"

"Did Elder Su really create that newspaper?"

"..."

Tired of being questioned, Mo Youqian exchanged a look with Zhen Jianting. Since they had already been punished, they might as well go all out.

Seeing a Sword Sect Disciple approaching them with the same tiresome questions, Mo Youqian took a deep breath and roared, "Can you stop asking? What's there to ask about!"

"It's just a Dao Integration Great Demon! With Elder Su's cultivation, slaying it would be as easy as reaching out his hand!"

"..."

After saying his piece, he looked furiously at the clearly intimidated Sword Sect Disciple in front of him. For a moment, he felt the pain on his buttocks fade significantly.

Only by exaggerating Elder Su's prowess could they cover up the embarrassment of being detained at the Red Pavilion for their dalliances!

They had to use the magnificent light of Elder Su to divert attention!

"When we set out, we carried a heavy responsibility. Due to various indescribable reasons, we inadvertently became trapped under Unrepentant Cliff!"

"Then we were surrounded by a horde of various Great Demons, but we were not afraid! Later, I alone slew over thirty Great Demons, but the tide of beasts was too terrifying! After slaying hundreds, we were completely drained of strength!"

"Just as we were on the verge of victory, out came a Great Demon, at the very least of the Dao Integration Realm!"

"It pounced towards us with its gaping maw, and in the nick of time, a peerless figure descended from the heavens, instantly saving us from peril!"

"It was Elder Su! It was him! He... he battled the Dao Integration Great Demon for eighty-one rounds. With one final stroke, he vanquished it and rescued us! It's just a pity that he was also injured, and that's why he returned a step late!"

"..."

After a round of grandiose bragging, Zhen Jianting felt particularly firm, his face flushed red with excitement!

But for some reason... being in the spotlight was a bit addictive... and left him craving for more.

The gathering crowd of Sword Sect Disciples grew, soon enveloping Mo Youqian and his group in a watertight circle, their eyes filled with awe as they gazed upon them.

A fair number of people, however, remained skeptical, watching Zhen Jianting with disdain.

The crowd quickly became agitated, and soon the discussions echoed below Mount Danxia, governed by Third Elder Mo Xingjian.

"Do you think Elder Su can really slay a Dao Integration Great Demon with a single stroke?"

"I think it's very possible! Didn't Elder Su once say that with a single blade of grass, he could cut through the sun, moon, and stars? Elder Su is the coolest! Look at my new ibei brand!"

"You bunch of brain-dead fans, will you just believe anything? Slaying a Dao Integration Great Demon? Do you even know what the Dao Integration Realm is? How many could there be in the Twenty-One Provinces?"

"Even the First Elder is only at the Dao Integration Realm. Do you think the Dao Integration Realm is a bunch of cabbages? To slay something of the Dao Integration Realm, you'd at least need to be at the Tribulation-Crossing Stage! Is Elder Su at the Tribulation-Crossing Stage? There are so few Tribulation-Crossing powerhouses in the Twenty-One Provinces..."

"To me, it seems like they may have done something shady and are deliberately changing the subject."

"Let me tell you, this is Wang Erbao speaking right here, right now. I'm not talking behind Elder Su's back; I just can't stand seeing people use Elder Su's name as a cover to show off! I know Elder Su well! A man of high morals and integrity, learned and knowledgeable, experienced and insightful, intellectually brilliant, extremely well-read, skilled in both letters and arms, with grand strategies, extraordinary eloquence, and concise expression..."

"..."

The winter sunset cast a refined and mild light over Mount Danxia, a ray sneaking quietly through the lattice windows, spilling into the room.

A screen painted with plum blossoms and cherry blossoms adorned the space; the room was as warm as spring.

Third Elder Mo Xingjian sat in front of the Alchemy furnace, transfixed on the flickering flames within, his brows knitted tightly.

The vigorous alchemical fire blazed, and instantly, a medicinal fragrance filled the air.

A dazzling light engulfed the whole Alchemy room, and then tranquility returned once more.

Mo Xingjian opened the Alchemy furnace with anticipation, but upon seeing the pill inside, a profound sense of disappointment surfaced unabashedly on his face.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of pill residue as black as mud, heaving a long sigh.

After so many years as the Sword Sect's chief Alchemist, Mo Xingjian had always wanted to craft a First Grass Creation Pill, yet his Alchemy skills had reached an impasse, stuck at the Second Grade Alchemy realm for too long.

Only by personally crafting a First Grade pill could one be rightfully called a First Grade Pill Master!

Within the entire Twenty-One Provinces, the known First Grade Pill Masters, aside from those two from Wudao Port, were exceedingly rare. To concoct the First Grass Creation Pill, one of the main ingredients was something he just couldn't collect himself! After all, who could obtain a Demon Core capable of withstanding the divine substances of Demon Flower Butterfly Dew, Phoenix Feather Essence, and Dragon Marrow? Such a Demon Core had barely been seen even once in the Twenty-One Provinces. The Peak Divinity Transformation Demon Pill he had added was already incredibly difficult to find, but even such a pill could not withstand such terrifying power... Could it be that a Demon Core from above the Refining Void stage was needed? And who could possibly slay such a powerful Great Demon?

"I had hoped to unveil this unparalleled First Grade Creation Pill on the day of my Second Senior Brother's eight-hundredth birthday, in front of everyone from the Twenty-One Provinces coming to witness the festivities at Sword Sect!"

"Alas! In the end, I still haven't reached the step of becoming a First Grade Pill Master!"

"For a First Grade Pill Master, both opportunity and prowess are indispensable, alas!"

With a bitter smile, just as Mo Xingjian was lamenting, he heard a buzzing sound coming from below his peak.

Frowning, he stepped out of the Alchemy room and looked down at the chaotic scene below.

Just then, Fourth Elder Li Ziyu slowly descended from Qingjun Peak. He heard the discussions of the Sword Sect Disciples and frowned deeply.

After roughly understanding what was going on, he looked at Mo Youqian, who was surrounded in the center, stepped forward, and scolded, "Extravagant! A stream of lies!"

"How can there be someone like you among the Sword Sect Disciples who only knows how to talk big without merit and corrupts his own Virtue?"

"Elder Su slew a Dao Integration creature with a single sword? How could such unsightly lies come out of your mouths?"

"..."

Below Mount Danxia, there was a silent stillness.

Everyone looked at each other. The moment Mo Youqian saw Li Ziyu, cold sweat immediately streamed down his back.

Among the nine elders of the Sword Sect, Fourth Elder Li Ziyu was the most exacting. Even though he normally presented a gentlemanly and peaceful demeanor to everyone, the Sword Sect Disciples all knew his temperament well... Having this matter seen by him, a scolding was absolutely inevitable!

Li Ziyu looked at the silent Sword Sect Disciples, his face expressionless, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

The sunlight shone on his face, creating a somewhat heavy atmosphere. After a period of silence, he continued, "I know many of you adore the Fifth Elder, but you have mythologized him too much, which is not good."

"Such a thing is absolutely impossible. Even the First Elder dares not say he could slay a Dao Integration Monster Beast."

"I, as an elder, am not scolding you for no reason. I just hope you will not always indulge in your own fantasies, over-imagining and deifying others."

"The Fifth Elder is nothing special. He is merely an ordinary cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Realm. How could he possibly have slain a Dao Integration Great Demon?"

"Think before you speak; cultivating mindlessly without thought is undesirable! Otherwise, you'll end up like the Elder Su you speak of—ostentatious and lacking ambition..."

"..."

Mo Xingjian looked down at the silent Sword Sect Disciples below, stroking his beard and nodding in agreement.

The flaunting culture that Su Bei brought to the Sword Sect is undesirable!

At that moment, a graceful figure hurriedly approached, running toward his Mount Danxia.

Xiao Ruoching was huffing and puffing all the way. Then, furrowing her brows, she looked at the dense crowd of Sword Sect Disciples below Mount Danxia, suspicion flashing in her eyes.

What is this all about?

Looking up and seeing the Fourth Elder standing tall with his hands clasped behind his back, she seemed to realize something—it must be Fourth Uncle Master lecturing! Perfect, with so many people here serving as witnesses, Third Uncle Master definitely wouldn't renege on his promise!

Xiao Ruoching circumvented the large crowd and headed straight up Mount Danxia.

Finally, the crowd took notice of her. Many people had seen Xiao Ruoching on No-Sword Peak and immediately began whispering to each other:

"It looks like she's the direct disciple of the Fifth Elder!"

"She's back? Could it be that the Fifth Elder is back too?"

"This is terrible! Her timing couldn't be worse; the Fourth Elder is furious!"

Mo Youqian and the others swallowed nervously, glancing urgently at Xiao Ruoching, trying to signal her. But it seemed as if she saw nothing, continuing her way toward Mo Xingjian.

Surprise also showed in Mo Xingjian's eyes. Did this niece have something to tell him?

Li Ziyu frowned, looking at this somewhat familiar-looking woman.

Who is this person? Daring to walk around so carelessly while I am educating others, ignoring everything and acting on her own whim? With such a flamboyant nature, are all the people around Su Bei like this?

With a cold snort, he stepped forward and said reproachfully, "Are all disciples of the Fifth Elder such ill-mannered people? Didn't you hear I am addressing the crowd? What could be so important that..."

"..."

Before Li Ziyu could finish speaking, he saw Xiao Ruoching, panting, arrive in front of Mo Xingjian and suddenly pull out a huge Demon Core from her storage ring!

The core glittered in the sunlight, emitting an indescribably terrifying pressure!

Brilliant light radiated in all directions!

A Demon Core!

A huge Demon Core!

A Demon Core as big as a washbasin!

Then, Xiao Ruoching's cool voice, seemingly deliberately, lingered for a long time in the air above Mount Danxia as it resounded, "Ninth Uncle is gravely injured. Following my Master's orders, I, Ruoching, have especially come here to deliver this Dao Integration Demon Core!"

"To request Third Uncle Master to refine the life-saving Great Return Qi and Blood Pill for Ninth Uncle!"

"!!!"
