The incredibly sharp greatsword symbolizes determination.
Purify the turbid and vanquish the demons!
More and more figures emerged from the Hall of the Human King, their auras undiminished—True Immortals, Mid-Rank Immortals, Lower-Rank Immortals…
The intent of swords, the intent of knives, and the charm of the Dao are not concealed in the slightest; if it is to be done, then it is to be done openly and honestly.
They had already made arrangements in all directions and proceeded in eight directions. The human race's formidable passes were like natural barriers, each one resembling a giant dragon whose beginning and end were nowhere to be seen.
Back then, because there were no formidable passes, foreign tribes ravaged border villages and towns, feeding on humans and taking pleasure in killing them. At that time, every time the border patrol teams went on patrol, it seemed as if they had lost a few villages and gained a few deserted villages littered with corpses.
Often only those towns could put up a fight; if they were lucky, a patrol would arrive; if they were unlucky... they would be captured, and the towns would be burned, killed, and looted.
Now, thanks to these formidable passes, even the villages on the very borders of the human race can live peacefully and securely.
There are always immortal-level beings guarding the border.
Inside the Human King's Palace, almost all the True Immortals had already set off, and Haotian's exquisite figure slowly faded and disappeared from the throne like ink.
In an ordinary, simple room, a stunningly beautiful figure in white slowly appeared.
Thump!
A short while later, there was a knock on her door.
Xiao Qi stood respectfully outside the door, waiting for Haotian's permission.
"How come the higher one's cultivation level, the more one regresses in appearance?"
When Xiaoqi heard the clear and melodious sound, she slowly pushed open the door and stepped into the room.
The moment she entered the room, her eyes were immediately drawn to Haotian, who was lying beautifully on the bed.
"The student disturbed the teacher's rest, but..."
She paused slightly, unsure of what to say next.
When Xiaoqi thought about what she wanted to say, she didn't know how to start. She was also angry that they had bullied her, that they were all afraid to face the teacher, and that they had used threats and inducements to force her to come.
At this moment, Haotian had already sensed that those people were standing around the room like silly children who had made a mistake.
“You’ve grown up and become more sensible, but to me, you are still the little kids you used to be, so… don’t be shy.”
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi suddenly looked up and met a pair of very beautiful and warm eyes.
Xiaoqi's nose involuntarily turned red, and it seemed as if something was about to spill from her eyes, but she held it back.
"Waaaaah, teacher, they all bullied me. Some went into seclusion, some were seriously injured, some lost their memories, and they dumped the heavy responsibility of the Human King's Palace on me. Now that they're all healed, they're all pushing me to come to you to explain things to them."
Xiao Qi wanted nothing more than to throw herself into Haotian's arms and cry. She was suffering so much.
She put on an act, which was exhausting for her, and she was also exhausted from carrying the burdens in her heart. This was her true nature. When she met Haotian, she told herself that she couldn't be weak or feeble, and that she had to be as confident, strong, and mature as her former teacher.
She still remembers the look of surprise in Haotian's eyes when she met her teacher.
She could only continue to pretend, telling herself to be confident, strong, and mature.
She couldn't talk about the hardships she had endured, nor could she cry about the injuries she had suffered, because that would turn her back into the fragile and weak person she once was. If she did, her teacher would surely be very disappointed, she thought to herself.
Even after her senior brothers and sisters had recovered, she still demanded confidence, strength, and maturity from herself. She was forcing herself to grow faster, even if the price was being covered in wounds.
When she had no one to rely on, she knew she had to force herself to calmly and correctly face everything.
Now that her teachers have returned, her senior classmates have returned, and her teachers are even saying the same things they used to say as children, she knows that her supporters have all returned.
That's why Xiao Qi looked like a child just now, because that was her true self.
Haotian looked at Xiaoqi, whose eyes were red, and for a moment she saw a glimpse of the past.
Back then, Xiaoqi liked to come to her crying and complaining.
Haotian didn't recall too much, because constantly recalling the past would trap her in endless memories, at which point... the power of the seal would become unstable.
The white-haired beauty slowly rose, gracefully stepped out of bed, and walked towards Xiao Qi.
Slender, fair fingers gently brushed across Xiaoqi's head, and an extremely gentle voice came from her ear: "Come on, your teacher will get justice for you."
While Xiaoqi was in a daze, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, but she didn't even realize it.
Haotian noticed that there seemed to be a different kind of light shining in Xiaoqi's eyes.
Her beautiful hand gently touched Xiaoqi's cheek and wiped it softly.
"You're such a grown-up, yet you still cry like a child."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi immediately lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and she wiped her eyes.
When she looked up, the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.
Her teacher is gone, it's as if... everything that just happened was an illusion, the voices were just hallucinations.
Just like before, it was all just a fleeting dream.
Suddenly, a beautiful and incredibly familiar voice called her name.
"What are you standing there for? Don't you need your teacher to avenge you?"
A different kind of light shone in Xiaoqi's eyes once again.
Her eyes were red as she looked out of the room…
Hmm... I still need to take revenge.
She knew that someone was missing... The light in her eyes was still there, but it had dimmed a little.
Haotian looked at the four men and two women in front of her. The six of them, plus Xiao Qi, were her former disciples. She had never wanted to take on any disciples before, but had only been their teacher.
Three true disciples plus a lover. One disciple is undergoing trials in a secret realm, and she comes here to see her former disciple.
Although they were bound to meet once they arrived in this world, Haotian felt a strange emotion in his heart at meeting his disciple behind his own back.
At this moment, Diefang was observing the rules of the secret realm within the secret realm.
Strange, why do I have this eerie feeling that my house is about to be raided?
Wenxin, who is hunting down demons, is inside the secret space.
Something's not right... Why do I suddenly feel like I miss my master? Waaah, his scent always makes me want to take a bite out of him.
