"Sister Yingying, leave now."
Cui Yingxiu, with her Sword Heart Clarity, struck out with her sword, cutting both others and herself, slaying all negative emotions within and rendering her gaze as calm as an ancient well. Suddenly, she spoke.
"Such talent in this young girl truly makes one envious... But I, your sister, do not wish to leave!"
The sultry witch’s voice was seductive, her feet as white as snow, her words teasing as if flirting with a lover.
However, Zhong Shenxiu could clearly sense the murderous intent in her.
The hatred contained within could fill the rivers and seas and still remain indelible.
"That witch is only an Outer Elixir Master, her Golden Core quality looks around the fourth or fifth grade—why didn’t Cui Yingxiu kill her with a single stroke..."
Zhong Shenxiu was somewhat puzzled and patted Yu Tongzi sitting below him.
He had spent many years in seclusion studying cultivation techniques, while Yu Tongzi had taken the opportunity to sneak out several times and likely knew more current affairs of the Cultivation World.
"That witch, seems to be ’Rouge Tiger’ Cui Yingying, a disciple from the Western Regions Great Snow Mountain. It’s said she acts unrestrainedly, loves to seduce disciples of reputable sects, then harms their cultivation with Great Joy Zen and steals their foundation. As to what relation she has with Cui Yingxiu, I do not know..."
Only because of Cui Yingying’s significant fame did he catch wind of her.
"Western Regions Great Snow Mountain?"
Even though this sect is one of the extraordinary five, it straddles both righteousness and evil, yet in reality, it’s even more despicable than the Wuji Demon Sect which claims to be the orthodox sect of the Demon Path.
For instance, one of the lineages within is adept in the Esoteric Great Joy Zen, which boasts infamously seductive witches and notorious devil children.
Although Zhong Shenxiu didn’t understand why witches earn infamy for seductiveness while devil children gain a bad reputation.
It appears this world still struggles with superficial values, failing to see beyond this barrier.
While the master and servant were chatting unconstrainedly, the battlefield suddenly changed.
A figure leapt out from the shadows, hands forming seals, releasing a shocking Demon Palm.
With a murky aura about him, it was clearly the Returning Elixir Old Monster! Mana poured in like a dragon, causing the Demon Palm to expand wildly and morph into a grotesque appearance, with six fingers connected by webbed skin.
This is another demon path tradition from the Western Regions Great Snow Mountain, specialized in martial divine skills, and this ambusher had reached the stage of one-turn Returning to Elixir, even mastering the Great Sky Demon Handprint!
"Cui Yingxiu, sister had to sacrifice her physical body for a long time to pull in this senior Yuan Longzi’s support... even agreed to let you join in extreme bliss."
Cui Yingying spoke jovially, yet her eyes were full of murderous intent, her words not only sharp as knives but also imbued with the Heavenly Demon Secret Sound, seeking to disrupt Cui Yingxiu’s Dao Heart.
"Ha ha... Come here, beautiful girl."
The Six-fingered Sky Demon’s hand merely pinched lightly and caught the clear sword light, trapping a flying sword in its palm.
As Yuan Longzi’s sinister laughter echoed, another Six-fingered Sky Demon hand flew out, grabbing at Cui Yingxiu.
It was evident that Cui Yingying had deep schemes for Cui Yingxiu, having enlisted the Returning Elixir Old Monster whose divine skills perfectly countered the flying sword.
Their intent was to capture her alive.
But Cui Yingxiu remained unfazed, merely flicking her finger lightly, and the second flying sword shot out immediately.
The sword light, a blue rainbow, was one of the three Blue Rainbow Swords refined by Ouyang Zi at the Refining Sword Conference!
’This Ouyang Zi is truly shameless, when did he send a flying sword?’
Zhong Shenxiu was stunned by the sight.
Unanticipated by him, it was evidently also unexpected by Cui Yingying and Yuan Longzi.
The blue sword light flashed, effortlessly shattering that Six-fingered Sky Demon hand.
Not only that, but the Blue Rainbow Sword suddenly vibrated, transforming into a myriad of blue threads, and it strangled toward Yuan Longzi.
"This sword technique that refines a sword into silk is quite elegant."
Zhong Shenxiu, who was eating melon seeds and not afraid of causing a big commotion, even added a remark.
But Yuan Longzi was already extremely shocked.
Not only was his Golden Core of the top-grade, and he had cultivated arduously for many years, he had even entered the stage of Returning Elixir cultivation, albeit at the first level, but he confidently thought that taking down a mere First-grade Golden Core was nothing much.
After all, his Golden Core Divine Power, the Six-fingered Sky Demon’s Great Handprint, was best at restraining flying swords, and he also knew that Cui Yingxiu only had that one Qiushui Surprised Swallow Sword.
He fully planned to just suppress that one flying sword, and then the female Sword Immortal, like a toothless tiger, could be easily captured and at his mercy.
After all, he had never "played" with a female Sword Immortal of the Shushan’s Double Stars level before.
And, as Wuji Demon Sect and Western Regions Great Snow Mountain always had poor relations with the two major Sword Sects, disciples from each side commonly slaughtered each other.
As for the problem of bullying the weak?
At worst, when he returned, he’d widely spread posts, saying he had taken Cui Yingxiu as his concubine, which would elevate his status; boasting about it would also bring much face.
Because he was thinking of all these messy thoughts, most of his mana was concentrated on the other hand suppressing the flying sword, and he did not gather much strength in his second palm.
As a result, he was easily cut down by Cui Yingxiu’s sword control.
Not only that, that flying sword transformed into a sky full of green strands, entwining around him.
This was Shushan’s secret Sword technique, Qiushui Surprising Swallow Sword technique, known to form arrays with a single stroke, and sever all escape skills — truly malicious!
Yuan Longzi still wanted to say something, but all he heard by his ear was Cui Yingxiu’s cold snort, "Yuan Longzi, I’ve long wanted to slaughter you, you debauchee. Today, kindly embrace death!"
The sky full of green strands suddenly swirled toward the center, and Yuan Longzi’s figure disappeared within.
"Good sister, when did you acquire another flying sword?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Cui Yingying suddenly unfolded a Yin Yang Separation Fan, depicting countless naked men and women in indecent poses.
With a gentle fan, pink Evil Qi and Gang Qi entwined to protect her whole body.
"Sister Yingying, the events of the past were also against my will, but you are deep in the Demon Path, and I must capture you and send you to Master Xiao Ru’s place, hoping she can transform you..."
Cui Yingxiu sighed, her two flying swords merging and aiming to kill Cui Yingying.
The sword lights fell, easily dissipating the pink aura, but only managed to break a fan, with Cui Yingying herself already gone without a trace.
With a flash of escape light, Cui Yingying threw herself toward Zhong Shenxiu, the spectator; obviously harboring ill intentions to drag the spectator down with her.
Cui Yingxiu retracted her flying swords, and upon seeing Zhong Shenxiu, she first bowed deeply, "Cui Yingxiu greets the Creation Ancestor!"
Cui Yingying covered her red lips, clearly unaware of Zhong Shenxiu’s significant reputation.
"This woman... What grudge do you have with her?"
Zhong Shenxiu thought for a bit, then casually asked.
"This is a family disgrace, please forgive me for not wishing to speak of it!" Cui Yingxiu’s face showed difficulty as she frankly spoke.
"If that’s the case... I see you don’t actually want to harm her much, so why not do me a favor and let her go this time?"
Zhong Shenxiu thought for a moment and then spoke.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tongzi widened his eyes, full of disbelief, and sneaked a glance at Cui Yingying, secretly thinking: ’Could it be that the old master has such tastes? No wonder he is indifferent toward those dignified female fairies; turns out he likes those who can flirt and be frivolous...’
