Chapter 14: There's something exciting to watch
"Brother, Brother Nanwang! What's wrong with you? Is this the price..."
The sounds in my ears were blurry and I couldn't hear anything.
Nan Wang slowly opened his eyes and found that his feet were already on the ground.
——The kind that is supported by spiritual branches.
This was probably the first time in Nanwang's life that he loved the word "down-to-earth" so much. The feeling of stepping on the ground made him almost cry.
"... Senior Brother?"
Lingzhi's worried questioning brought Nanwang back to his senses. He quickly stood up and tried to cover up his mistake: "I'm sorry, little sister. I practiced all night yesterday and didn't sleep all night. I'm a little sleepy..."
"Brother, you really scared me to death. I'm glad you're okay."
Lingzhi heaved a long sigh of relief, and took Nanwang a few steps to the nearby stairs filled with disciples. He then pointed to the empty space below the stairs and said:
"Brother, look over there."
Nan Wang looked in the direction indicated by the spiritual branch.
The first person to come into view was the sect's senior sister, Du Xueling.
However, what attracted Nan Wang's attention was not Du Xueling as a person, but the cold sword intent that continued to emanate from Du Xueling.
It was extremely murderous and bone-chilling. Even though Nan Wang was standing dozens of meters away from Du Xueling, his teeth were still chattering from the chill of the murderous aura of the Glazed Sword.
Unlike Zhu Tianque, who has the support of an immortal cultivation family and possesses countless immortal cultivation resources, Du Xueling is an orphan. He was adopted by the Qingyun Sect only because of his excellent immortal cultivation talent and Liuli sword spirit.
Although Du Xueling had no cultivation resources provided by her family, her cultivation speed was on par with Zhu Tianque. She even became a disciple of the Sect Master earlier than Zhu Tianque and was awarded the title of Grand Sister of Qingyun Sect.
If an ordinary person used a sword made of colored glaze, it would probably be shattered into pieces before it could even make a few cuts.
However, at this moment, what Du Xueling was holding in his hand was just such a glass sword that was completely translucent in the sunlight.
The Glazed Sword, which has no power at all in the hands of ordinary people, is a deadly weapon that terrifies countless evil spirits in Du Xueling's hands.
When one reaches the pinnacle of swordsmanship, fallen leaves and flying flowers can all become weapons, even the most fragile glass.
Du Xueling's Glazed Sword has the most lethal sword energy in the world. It can kill gods and Buddhas and eliminate ghosts and monsters. Du Xueling is indeed the strongest among all the young disciples.
Every year in the Immortal Gate Arena, Du Xueling is always at the top of the list. Even when facing cultivators who are one realm higher than her, she can still hold her own. What she relies on is the unprecedented and unparalleled Wushuang Sword Intentions.
After admiring the senior sister's glazed sword for a while, Nan Wang noticed the crying and noisy female cultivator beside Du Xueling, and the one next to the female cultivator...
Huh? Who is that?
It was a strange face that I had never seen before, and the robe he was wearing was not any kind of disciple uniform.
Nan Wang was confused for a moment, and the spirit branch beside him immediately began to explain:
"The female cultivator over there is Senior Sister Du Shuangyan. Senior Sister Shuangyan fell in love with a casual cultivator and wanted to leave the sect to live with the casual cultivator. A few days ago, there was a big fight and she was beaten up by Senior Sister. I didn't expect that this casual cultivator would come to the sect today! Why didn't they come earlier or later, but chose to come when the elders joined forces to suppress the secret realm? Senior Sister has been in a stalemate with them for a long time!"
"so it is."
Nanwang understood.
No wonder Lingzhi came here in a hurry with his sword, it turned out he came to watch the excitement.
I didn't expect Lingzhi, at such a young age, likes to watch the excitement so much.
Not bad, just like him.
Nan Wang stretched his neck and looked at the people and things in the square in the distance, while recalling the relevant plot in the original novel in his mind.
Senior Sister Du Xueling left the screen not too early in the original novel, but there are not many plots related to her. The most important turning point in her fate is this scene.
Du Shuangyan and the eldest senior sister are twin sisters. The two sisters have been orphaned since childhood. If they had not been adopted by Qingyun Sect, no one knows where they would be wandering now.
However, compared to Du Xueling, Du Shuangyan's talent in cultivating immortals was not that outstanding. If it weren't for Du Xueling's support, she probably wouldn't even be able to enter the inner gate.
Du Shuangyan had a fire-type spiritual root, so the Weapon Sect was a better choice for her than the Sword Sect where Du Xueling was, so she naturally joined the Weapon Sect and became Du Xueling's exclusive weapon refiner. Although her cultivation was not as good as Du Xueling's, she had also reached the realm of great perfection in refining Qi, so her journey had been smooth.
Until she fell in love with a casual cultivator.
In fact, Qingyun Sect's control over its disciples was not very strict, and the elders of each sect also supported the disciples to travel around instead of staying in the sect all day long to do things.
Likewise, Qingyun Sect has never opposed its disciples from forming couples with outsiders, regardless of their background or level of cultivation, as long as they are righteous monks.
Even in the extreme situation where Zhu Tianque forced a mortal woman to marry him as he did before, it could still be accomplished as long as it was managed properly.
However, under such relaxed rules, Du Shuangyan insisted on breaking off all ties with Qingyun Sect and wandering around the world with that independent cultivator.
The reason she did this was this - because the wandering cultivator came from a reclusive family of immortal cultivators, family rules did not allow their descendants to join any sect of immortal cultivation, so in order to marry a wandering cultivator, she had to sever her ties with the Qingyun Sect.
Du Shuangyan's reckless attitude was as if she was under a spell, and the family rules of the casual cultivator were extremely weird... It is said that there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. As Du Shuangyan's elder sister, Du Xueling naturally refused to agree to Du Shuangyan's request.
Du Xueling's way of not agreeing was very simple, just one word: beat.
He would beat Du Shuangyan until she no longer dared to say that she wanted to break off all ties with the Qingyun Sect, which had raised her since she was a child and had been so kind to her.
Beat them until the independent cultivators dare not set foot on Qingyun Mountain.
At this moment, she was using that extremely fragile glass sword to beat the two men to a pulp.
Although the disciples who were watching knew that it was Du Shuangyan and the independent cultivator's fault, they still felt a little sympathy for the weak when they saw Du Xueling calmly beating the two of them until they were black and blue.
"Ah, you crazy lover..."
"Apart from the facts, is Senior Sister really not wrong?"
"The elders haven't spoken yet, and it's really unreasonable for Senior Sister to take over the responsibility today..."
"The Glazed Sword is so murderous that it doesn't even spare my own sister..."
“It’s really pitiful.”
Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Nan Wang couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
[The eldest sister is a really good person. She is grateful and responsible to her fellow students, especially to her younger sister Du Shuangyan. It is no exaggeration to say that she is sincere and devoted to her.]
[Unfortunately, she didn't know that the sister she tried so hard to protect was jealous of her rapid rise to fame and secretly played tricks on her natal sword. In the end, her inner demons went out and she was attacked by the Glazed Sword Will. From then on, she could no longer cultivate...]
[The plot has progressed to the point where Du Shuangyan has left the sect. I guess the dragon is already on the senior sister's natal sword, right?]
Not far away, Du Xueling, who was about to throw out the wandering cultivator who was suppressed by the Glazed Sword and could not even stand up, stopped him.
This pause gave the casual cultivators who were unable to escape from the Glazed Sword some time to catch their breath.
The wandering cultivator rolled and crawled out, not paying any attention to Du Shuangyan who was still standing there.
After running a long way, the casual cultivator summoned a spirit beast and said something cruel: "Just because you are a big sect, you think you can bully others? Things change over time, don't bully the poor young people!"
Du Xueling raised her eyes and glanced at the casual cultivator indifferently.
She didn't even raise her sword; just this one glance was enough to scare the casual cultivator to death.
The wandering cultivator hurriedly summoned his spirit sword and flew into the air like a wolf.
Du Shuangyansi didn't care about the abandonment of the casual cultivator. Instead, she hugged Du Xueling's legs tightly and cried:
"Brother Nian, please leave quickly! Yan'er will come to find you soon. Yan'er will not marry anyone other than Brother Nian in this life!"
"Is Qingyun Sect a place where you can come and go as you please?"
As soon as Du Xueling finished speaking, the wandering cultivator who thought he had escaped crashed into the sect's protective formation.
Like a bird hitting a glass door.
The fluffy wings were no longer strong enough to support the head that was dizzy from the impact, and it fell to the ground with a plop.
The kind that is upside down.
