Chapter 184: Then, In The Upper Realm, I Will Await Your Arrival
But Ming Zhaoshuang quickly discovered something, she frowned slightly and asked, “Where are Senior Brother Ji Qi and Senior Brother He Jiusi? Where did they go?”
Fei Changxiu’s eyes were filled with grief: “At that time, we were still in the Third Heaven, and Junior Brother Ji Qi was leading other disciples to provide support. Unexpectedly, the Bixia Sect suddenly attacked and set an ambush, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army.”
The Peak Master of Xiu Tian Peak also felt sad: “Jiusi died protecting me.”
At that time, more than a dozen cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage suddenly appeared from the Bixia Sect, and they were caught off guard. The Peak Master of Xiu Tian Peak could only fight one against three, and almost ended up slain by the sword. It was He Jiusi who helped him block that sword.
He Qingqing, standing by, clutched the wound on her waist and said, “And my second junior sister and sixth junior brother were killed by people from the Zhao family.”
As she spoke, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes: “If it weren’t for my old wounds not being healed, and them having to protect me, how could they have been killed by those villains!”
Qin Feilong also said: “Many senior and junior disciples from Ding Tian Peak also died. It was all the work of the Zhao family.”
Ming Zhaoshuang furrowed her brows, and a trace of coldness flashed in her gaze as clear as snow: “Since that’s the case, then we should also deal with the other families.”
As soon as she said this, naturally, no one objected.
The Peak Master of Xiu Tian Peak patted her shoulder and praised: “So arrogant, worthy of being a youth.”
He also agreed, and annihilated the Bixia Sect and the Zhao family in one go!
The Peak Master of Xiu Tian Peak was only about a hundred years old. At this age, in the cultivation world, he was merely a young lad. However, his habit of being in charge of the Ao Tian Sect had made him almost forget the feeling of youthful recklessness.
Hearing Ming Zhaoshuang say this now, he couldn’t help but feel his blood surge with excitement.
If weeds are not cut at the root, they will grow again in the spring wind. If these sects insist on being troublesome, they cannot be blamed for being ruthless and unjust.
Ming Zhaoshuang, however, raised her eyebrows and said, “Uncle-Master Xiu, you must understand that arrogance without strength is just arrogance, but with strength, it’s called a declaration.”
Now that she had Sang Biao in her hands, let alone the lower cultivation world, even the upper cultivation world, she could walk sideways. She had that strength!
Moreover, she already knew her true identity: the daughter of the Former Palace Master of Rimushan.
Dong Fuyu, the Palace Master of Rimushan, did not want to kill her, and the Great Elder protected her, so what was she afraid of?
She decided to act immediately!
As the last snow of spring melted, Ming Zhaoshuang led the disciples of the Ao Tian Sect and the Ming family to the mountains of the Lingxiao Sect and annihilated their entire family.
That day, Ming Zhaoshuang fought alongside Ming Chenxing and Fei Changxiu against a Nascent Soul Stage Expert and slew him with their swords.
Thus, she broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
At thirteen years old, being in the Nascent Soul Stage was rare, even in the upper cultivation world.
After the destruction of the Lingxiao Sect, the Qin, Ming, Fei, and Sun clans divided the territory of the Lingxiao Sect, splitting the spirit veins and resources. Qin Du specifically surrounded the remaining two Shuangyu Mountains to prevent them from harming others.
Ming Zhaoshuang heard this and remained noncommittal.
She once again controlled her sword and flew above Shuangyu Mountain, looking down at the two lush green peaks.
This time, after being burned by the blazing fire, the black dot that was Shuangyu Village appeared even more conspicuous.
After observing the landscape of Shuangyu Village, she then went inside the Hundred Beasts Cave, her gaze sweeping over the familiar grass, trees, stones, and grains.
Only desolation remained.
It seemed that with Ah Wei’s exposure, Hong Hong had also been taken away.
She sighed. After looking at the scenery, she intended to leave, but suddenly Bai Bai popped out and led her towards a narrow and deep road.
Ming Zhaoshuang did not suspect him and followed him all the way forward.
Finally, at the very end of this cave, she saw Hong Hong’s afterimage.
She was still in her red skin and grass clothing, her face firm and languid, floating in the cave, her eyes slightly closed, without any sign of nervousness, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Ming Zhaoshuang approach, she raised an eyebrow and started laughing.
“You’re finally here.”
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “This junior is late, I hope Senior will forgive me.”
Hong Hong paused and asked, “Only half a year has passed, why are you still learning from them and engaging in empty formalities? I didn’t say I was waiting for you here specifically, you don’t need to be so polite.”
Ming Zhaoshuang countered, “Aren’t you waiting for me, Senior?”
Hong Hong did not deny it: “I was indeed waiting for you. It’s not a big deal, I just wanted to tell you not to worry about me and Ah Wei. We are not mistreated at the Beast Sect, and incidentally, I wanted to see my younger brother.”
Ming Zhaoshuang felt some relief upon hearing this. She said, “I hope Ah Wei can cultivate well.”
However, Hong Hong said, “Ah Wei absolutely cannot cultivate the Great Dao at the Beast Sect. The Beast Sect’s concept of beast taming has long been distorted by constant power struggles. They are now only focused on competing with the Artifact Sect, and even vying with the Sword Sect for the position of the First Sect in the Nine Provinces.”
“They are not thinking about improving their beast taming skills or strengthening their connection with spiritual beasts. They are only thinking about how to tame spiritual beasts and lower the difficulty of forming pacts. In such an environment, true beast tamers cannot emerge.”
It is even possible that Ah Wei’s cultivation will be interfered with by the Beast Sect.
Although Ah Wei, as an Innate Spirit Body for beast taming, had not undergone systematic training and could be said to have no beast taming skills, her connection with spiritual beasts was stronger than that of any beast tamer.
The Beast Sect attempts to tame spiritual beasts through various means, gentle or brutal, ordinary or perverse, all for the sake of forming a contract with spiritual beasts, without considering the spiritual beasts’ will during the pact. This is clearly against the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
It will only interfere with Ah Wei’s connection with spiritual beasts.
However, Hong Hong believed that Ah Wei had the ability to remain true to herself and her original intentions in that filthy mire of the Beast Sect.
She finally said, “So if anything happens to her in the future, I hope you will help her for the sake of Bai Bai and Fantuan.”
Ming Zhaoshuang started laughing: “What are you saying, Senior? Ah Wei called me Senior Sister, so her matters are my responsibility.”
Not to mention that Ah Wei was an important branch of her plot, just the kindness Hong Hong had shown her and the friendship between Ah Wei and herself were enough to make her act.
Moreover, Ah Wei destroying the Beast Sect would be seeking justice for the spiritual beasts.
This Beast Sect deserves to be destroyed!
In the future, when Ming Zhaoshuang becomes powerful, she also wanted to see who would dare to insult Ah Wei.
Hong Hong nodded upon hearing this: “Then I will await your arrival in the Upper Realm.”
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “That time will not be too long.”
After bidding farewell to Hong Hong, Ming Zhaoshuang put Bai Bai away and found Qin Du again to discuss how to resolve the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Formation on Shuangyu Mountain. With Ming Zhaoshuang’s skill level, she definitely couldn’t understand the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Formation, let alone break it.
Fortunately, this formation was a pirated version. Ming Zhaoshuang came up with a few plans and asked Qin Du to follow them. Over the years, it would eventually solve the problem of this formation.
Thus, the Lingxiao Sect was destroyed, Shuangyu Mountain was ruined, and the abducted women went on to their respective lives.
The incident of Qian City taking in women finally came to a close.
