Chapter 87 A Sword's Frost Chills Across Fourteen Provinces (20)
Ascending to heaven!
You will also see the ladder to immortality and the golden light guiding you to the upper realm, from which you will go to a wider world and join the ranks of immortals.
This is the common ideal of every cultivator. As for the Sword Master of Breaking Mountains, it's time for him to become an immortal.
He could have become a Great Luo Golden Immortal hundreds of years ago, but for the sake of the Giant Sword Sect, he endured a hundred years of hardship. Now, his cultivation is too strong to suppress, and he must ascend to immortality.
He has already given far too much to the Giant Sword Sect, and he should not have to bear the burden of what has happened since.
If they can annihilate the demons in one fell swoop this time, they will be worry-free for the next hundred years. A hundred years later, the Giant Sword Sect will surely have new powerful figures. The Giant Sword Sect has this kind of confidence.
After discussing the plan with them, Luo Shu finally decided to go see Miao Qiqi one last time and give her one last good thrashing.
In front of Miao Qiqi's cave is a small peach blossom grove. Although they are just ordinary peach blossoms, a spirit-gathering array has been set up there, so the peach blossoms bloom all year round. From a distance, they are a lush pink, a sight to behold.
When Luo Shu arrived, Miao Qiqi was lost in thought in the peach blossom forest. Recently, she had been searching for the core of the sect's protective formation. However, her master, who was increasingly concerned about her, and her disciples, who often came to cheer her up, made her feel somewhat lost. Should she continue down this path of no return?
Or should she continue being Miao Qiqi, the junior sister of Qingyun Peak in the Juque Sword Sect?
Today, Luo Shu was dressed in the robes of a direct disciple. The blue Taoist robe wrapped around her exquisite figure, and she wore a purple-gold crown on her head. Her long hair was tied up high, and she did not wear a mask. The pink spots on her cheeks made her look like a peach blossom fairy, beautiful as if in a dream.
The person drew closer and closer to her. As Miao Qiqi looked at the face that became even more beautiful upon closer inspection, a surge of hatred welled up in her eyes. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't be in this dilemma today.
Luo Shu also saw Miao Qiqi and said softly, "Junior Nephew Miao, I heard you've returned. We've had a connection before, so I came to see you."
Miao Qiqi should have shown Luo Shu the respect due to a junior, but she turned her head away, her face turned to the side, and refused to look at Luo Shu, her expression showing some anger.
Luo Shu wasn't angry. Miao Qiqi was spoiled and probably hadn't suffered much outside. Although she was more gentle than before, she was still very tough in front of Luo Shu.
As soon as Luo Shu entered Miao Qiqi's cave, Lei Yun Daoist arrived as well. He was worried that Luo Shu would bully Miao Qiqi, since Luo Shu was now a disciple of Po Yue Sword Venerable, his peer, and had a high level of cultivation. Lei Yun Daoist couldn't even see through Luo Shu's cultivation level, and estimated that it was no less than his.
He rushed over, and seeing Miao Qiqi's disrespect for Luo Shu, he immediately feigned anger and scolded Miao Qiqi, "You scoundrel, how dare you speak to your martial uncle like that? Did you even bow? This is your martial uncle, where is your sense of propriety?"
After he scolded Miao Qiqi like that, Luo Shu certainly couldn't reprimand her anymore. She knew that Miao Qiqi's attitude was disrespectful to her elders, and Luo Shu could take her to the Discipline Hall and, according to the sect's rules, have her whipped thirty times.
Miao Qiqi didn't understand Lei Yun Daoren's good intentions. She only felt that as long as Luo Shu came, her master would focus all his attention on Luo Shu and even scold her for Luo Shu's sake. Tears welled up in her eyes, but Miao Qiqi forced herself not to cry in front of Luo Shu.
She lowered her head and said to Luo Shu in a barely audible voice, "Uncle Luo, Qiqi was offended just now. I hope Uncle Luo will be magnanimous and not hold it against Qiqi."
After saying that, he raised his sleeve to wipe his eyes, and then rushed into the cave without looking back.
Lei Yun Daoist was now in an awkward position. He and Luo Shu had an embarrassing past, and now his disciple was giving her the cold shoulder. Lei Yun Daoist felt that this year was unlucky, and he should have kept Miao Qiqi in the cave to practice swordsmanship and draw talismans today.
Luo Shu remained calm and composed, nodding to Lei Yun Dao Ren before leaving, as if she had simply come to visit Miao Qi Qi.
Lei Yun Daoist was completely baffled. He felt that Luo Shu was not the type to visit Miao Qiqi, but who cared what he thought?
Miao Qiqi collapsed onto the bed, her eyes red-rimmed and her teeth grinding together. Luo Shu must have come to see her make a fool of herself.
She had been wandering outside for five years, but Luo Shu had become the number one in the sect and was also renowned outside. She was extremely proud of herself.
Miao Qiqi's hatred grew stronger. She had to save Li Ye, because only Li Ye would always stand by her side. She was determined to save her.
From that day on, Miao Qiqi clung to Daoist Lei Yun even more tightly. Half a month later, it was Daoist Lei Yun's turn to take over the guard duty. Although the sect's protective formation did not require anyone to guard it, it needed to have its spirit stones replaced every month to maintain its operation.
Lei Yun Dao Ren first went to Po Yue Jian Zun to get the array eye rune, and then took it to the array disposal to exchange for spirit stones. Suddenly, Miao Qi Qi appeared, smiling and carrying a food box.
"Master, I made some snacks. I learned how to make them down the mountain. Why don't you try them and see how they taste?"
Miao Qiqi acted coquettishly and affectionately, pleading with Daoist Lei Yun, "Master, these are all made of spiritual materials. Eating them is good for your cultivation. Please try some!"
She insisted on pulling Lei Yun Dao Ren to sit down, handed him the food box, and looked at him expectantly. Lei Yun Dao Ren was on duty today and had important matters to attend to. He was holding the jade stone with the core of the formation engraved in his hand.
He hadn't seen Miao Qiqi so close to him in a long time. Since Miao Qiqi returned from outside, she hadn't been as close to him as before. This was the first time his disciple had been so affectionate towards him.
Lei Yun Daoist enjoyed the sweet burden while happily picking up a piece of pastry and slowly savoring it.
A moment later, Miao Qiqi looked at the fallen Lei Yun Dao Ren and quickly picked up the jade stone beside him. She had added the poison that Li Ye had given her to the snack that Lei Yun Dao Ren had eaten, which could make cultivators below the Mahayana stage unconscious for half a cup of tea's time.
Time was of the essence, so Miao Qiqi didn't have time to think about anything else. She went straight out the door and headed down the mountain. After all, she had the cultivation of a Golden Core cultivator, and she was out of the mountain gate in no time. She found a secluded place and crushed the teleportation talisman.
"Let's go check out Lei Yun first."
Tantai Mingshu stared expressionlessly at the woman who had disappeared from the water mirror.
Lei Yun Daoist had already woken up. He also discovered that the jade was missing, but he assumed that his disciple was playing a prank on him. He was still searching for Miao Qiqi, and his face showed only a slight look of anxiety.
When Tantai Mingshu and his party arrived, Yao Yin first showed Lei Yun Daoren his inner chambers to confirm that the medicine had no harm to him before taking out a water mirror to show him what Miao Qiqi had done.
Lei Yun Daoist watched as Miao Qiqi tricked him into eating snacks in the water mirror, then he fainted. She stole the jade, left the sect, and crushed the teleportation talisman.
His expression was extremely blank, as if he didn't understand what had happened, or rather, he didn't want to understand.
Tantai Mingshu coldly said, "Miao Qiqi is a spy of the Demon Clan."
After saying that, they all had other things to do and left.
Wen Baiyun, on the other hand, stood aside, waiting for Lei Yun Daoren to make his move.
Lei Yun Dao Ren, a dignified Nascent Soul expert, was now trembling even as he held his teacup.
"Did you already know that your junior sister, no, Miao Qiqi, had ulterior motives?"
Wen Baiyun replied respectfully, "Yes."
Lei Yun Daoist wanted to say, "Then why didn't you tell me?" But then he thought, "If I told him, would he believe me?" He wouldn't.
He can't!
He picked her up and taught her cultivation; he is both her teacher and her father!
Why did they end up like this?
Enough, enough. From now on, just pretend you never had this disciple!
