Chapter Forty-Nine: Han Wei Becomes Sect Leader
The other two Nascent Soul cultivators looked at the black-robed elder with trepidation, then at Gu Qi. He... he was the Blood Sword Immortal? They were relatively young; they hadn't even been born when Gu Qi massacred the Northern Region. But after the black-robed elder's shout, looking at Gu Qi again, they couldn't help but recall that legend.
A peerless beauty in white robes and with golden eyes, his aura was colder than the snow and wind of the Northern Region. He looked at everyone as if they were dead, and there was this terrifying sense of oppression. This, this all makes sense, doesn't it?
The Blood Sword Immortal is actually here in the Eastern Region. How could this be?
Thinking of the Blood Sword Immortal's methods, the cultivators of the Northern Region trembled with fear.
Blood Sword Immortal?
Han Wei looked at Gu Qi.
Is Gu Qi the Blood Sword Immortal?
Han Wei had visited the Northern Region in her previous life, though for a short time, and had heard of the infamous demon lord, the Blood Sword Immortal. However, she didn't know that was Gu Qi. Her time in the Northern Region was always spent on important matters; she had neither the interest nor the time to delve into the story of a demon who had vanished for over a thousand years. Therefore, she didn't know that the Blood Sword Immortal's real name was Gu Qi.
In fact, not many cultivators in the Northern Region knew the Blood Sword Immortal's real name, after all, more than a thousand years had passed.
The black-robed elder from the Northern Region had witnessed Gu Qi's terrifying power firsthand. Now, upon seeing Gu Qi, he turned and fled at top speed. His movement was followed by the others, who also tried to escape.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Streaks of red light shot out, instantly killing dozens of cultivators from the Northern Region, including two Nascent Soul cultivators. Han Wei's figure blurred as she stepped in front of the Northern Region cultivators.
Everyone seemed to be frozen in ice, their bodies stiff as they stood in the air.
Dozens of Golden Core cultivators and two early Nascent Soul cultivators from the Northern Region were instantly killed. Who wouldn't be shocked?
Pink cherry blossom petals surrounded Han Wei, and a terrifying spiritual pressure emanated from her. Her voice echoed under the moonlight: "Did I tell you to move?"
She raised her finger, and a cherry blossom bloomed at her fingertip. Using the petals of this over 100,000-year-old spiritual cherry blossom as a weapon, killing a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would be a piece of cake.
Large beads of cold sweat rolled down the foreheads of the Northern Region cultivators. In their eyes, Han Wei was now as terrifying as a witch from hell.
"You, come here." Han Wei pointed to the black-robed old man who recognized Gu Qi's identity at a glance, who was now the only Nascent Soul expert among the cultivators in the Northern Region.
The old man in black robes trembled and said, "Senior..."
Seeing his hesitation, Han Wei grabbed at him with her Wind Dragon Ring, and several gusts of wind trapped the black-robed elder, bringing him before her. Han Wei immediately began searching his soul. In the elder's memories, Han Wei saw Gu Qi's past; she saw Gu Qi from over a thousand years ago, and the scene of him massacring the sects of the Northern Region.
Those around them, seeing Han Wei searching their souls, didn't dare to utter a sound.
Now no one has any intention of running away; the two Nascent Soul cultivators have already set an example for them.
Whether soul searching will cripple a person depends mainly on the skill of the soul searcher and the severity of their attack. Han Wei had no grudge against the black-robed elder, and she had no intention of crippling him. After obtaining her crucial information, she released the black-robed elder.
Although the old man in black robes was not crippled, his aura immediately weakened after his soul was searched.
According to Han Wei's memories, the old man in black robes had no special connection with Gu Qi. He had only witnessed Gu Qi massacre an entire family and almost got caught up in the chaos, leaving him with a deep psychological scar.
"The Eastern Region is not a place for you, get out!" Han Wei said coldly.
"yes."
Upon hearing this, the old man in black robes immediately sped off into the distance, while the other cultivators from the Northern Region scrambled to escape, fearing that Han Wei might change her mind.
After the people from the Northern Region left, Han Wei looked at the cultivators from the Eastern Region. These cultivators, meeting her gaze, were all trembling with fear. Han Wei looked at Zhang Zhengyang: "Which sect are you from?"
“Senior, this junior is Zhang Zhengyang, the Supreme Elder of the Qionghua Sect,” Zhang Zhengyang said respectfully.
"Where is your sect leader?" Han Wei asked.
"The sect leader entered the strange palace that appeared in Yuexing City several months ago and disappeared along with many experts from the Eastern Region," Zhang Zhengyang said.
Han Wei smiled and said, "So, you're missing a sect leader?"
Zhang Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, then bowed to Han Wei and said, "Greetings, Sect Master!"
The other Qionghua Sect disciples were stunned for a moment upon seeing this, and then bowed to Han Wei, saying, "Greetings, Sect Master!"
Han Wei laughed loudly: "Not bad, you know how to be pragmatic. My name is Han Wei, and I will be your sect leader from now on. The name Qionghua Sect is not good, let's change it. From now on, we will be called Qingyun Sect."
Han Wei had searched Xie Yun's soul and learned that this bastard had brought the Qingyun Sect to its knees. Han Wei hated Xie Yun and his group, not the Qingyun Sect itself.
Her parents both told her that their grandmaster had done them a great favor. It was precisely because Han Wen and Xu Hui cared about the Qingyun Sect that they were willing to die for the sect when it was in danger.
Han Wei didn't want to go back to the Qingyun Sect, but she could build a Qingyun Sect here to ensure its lineage continued.
Han Wei looked at Zhang Zhengyang, her expression suddenly turning cold and stern:
"Elder Zhang, I need you to do two things."
"Sect Master, please speak. The entire Qingyun Sect will go through fire and water for you without hesitation," Zhang Zhengyang said respectfully.
"First, from this day forward, all sects in the Eastern Region must submit to the Qingyun Sect. Anyone who disobeys will be listed, and I will personally visit them one by one. Second, I need you to search for the whereabouts of a woman named Su Rumei." After Han Wei finished speaking, she had a painting in her hand, which she threw to Zhang Zhengyang.
Zhang Zhengyang took the scroll, opened it, and saw that it depicted Su Rumei.
Han Wei knew she couldn't find Su Rumei alone, so she would subdue the entire Eastern Region and have all the cultivators there search for her. She refused to believe she couldn't find her. She was determined to kill both Su Rumei and the Heavenly Demon Saintess.
The Heavenly Demon Mother's desire to seize her body might not be solely due to the loss of her physical form. Han Wei suspects that she knows Han Wei possesses a Wood Spirit Body, therefore she and Su Rumei must be silenced.
————
The news that cultivators from the Northern Region had chased down disciples of the Qionghua Sect and other sects to the territory of the Qingluo Palace, only to be utterly defeated by a mysterious expert from the Qingluo Palace, with two Nascent Soul experts dying before they could even withstand a single move, and the rest fleeing back to the Northern Region in disgrace, quickly spread throughout the entire Eastern Region.
There were actually two powerful figures who destroyed the Azure Luo Palace. One was the Blood Sword Immortal, a demonic giant from the Northern Region more than a thousand years ago, and the other was the Blood Sword Immortal's female disciple.
The one who defeated the cultivators of the Northern Region in one move was not the Blood Sword Immortal, but his female disciple. If this female disciple is so terrifying, one can only imagine how terrifying the Blood Sword Immortal is.
There were hardly any experts left in the Eastern Region, and with Han Wei being so powerful, almost no sect dared to disobey her orders.
As for the Northern Region, the fact that Han Wei deliberately sent those guys back, and that the Blood Sword Immortal was in the Eastern Region, immediately terrified the various sects in the Northern Region who were eager to make a move, and they all gave up their ideas of coming to the Eastern Region to divide up the territory.
Of course, there were still some fools who didn't know their own mortality and insisted on testing the waters with their lives. Han Wei, who had already become the ruler of the Eastern Region, naturally didn't show any mercy. She killed them and nailed their bodies to the border between the Eastern and Northern Regions as a warning to others.
