The maid, A-Lian, unaware of Ji Xiaoxiao's change, sensed the increasing pressure the Holy Maiden had placed on her and grew ever more respectful. "Two years ago, the Demon Heart Sect reappeared in the martial world. They committed countless evils, killing without blinking an eye, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake. The righteous martial arts world, concerned for the suffering of all, launched a swift counterattack, led by the Mirror Lake Water Moon Cloud Manor. One thousand three hundred and fifty-six heroes, dedicated to upholding justice, clashed with the Demon Heart Sect in the Black Forest, fighting for seven days and seven nights. On the eighth day, apart from the Water Moon Cloud Manor Master and five renowned masters, everyone else perished at the hands of the Demon Heart Sect.

Do you intend to disregard the plight of all living beings?"
The master of Mirror Lake Water Moon Cloud Manor spoke with increasing fervor and passion. Ji Xiaoxiao stepped in and saw that the old fogies of the Holy Sect had lowered their heads for once, a rare sight indeed.
Ji Xiaoxiao came here to fulfill the original owner's wish. The original owner wanted to protect the Tianshan Lotus Holy Sect, which was Ji Xiaoxiao's Achilles' heel. No one could speak to it, touch it, or hurt it.
