The next moment, a layer of golden light appeared in Luo Qiongyan’s eyes. The word “Truth” left her lips, flashed through the air, and instantly entered the beautiful woman’s forehead.
“Truth Spell.” Ning Qianxue’s eyes widened in surprise at the sight.
The nearby disciples were equally stunned. Meanwhile, when Yun Biluo saw what was happening, she quietly began retreating into the crowd.
[Holy crap, this woman actually used the Truth Spell. As expected, she noticed something.]
Golden light shimmered faintly in Luo Qiongyan’s eyes as her icy voice rang out, “Tell me. Did Luo Bei really force you to dual cultivate with him?”
“No. Luo Bei merely fell victim to Yun Biluo’s illusion technique.” The beautiful woman’s expression twisted with resistance, yet under the power of the Truth Spell, the truth escaped her lips against her will.
“What?”
The moment those words fell, everyone present was shocked.
Luo Bei abruptly raised his head and stared at the beautiful woman in disbelief. She was his Second Senior Sister, the person he had always respected deeply, yet she had actually framed him. All this time, he had been tormented by guilt over something he had never even done.
Luo Qiongyan continued, “Did Luo Bei really steal the secret manual?”
“No. Everything was a trap designed by Yun Biluo.” Terror filled the beautiful woman’s eyes as she looked at Luo Qiongyan.
“One last question…”
Whoosh!
Before Luo Qiongyan could finish, Yun Biluo suddenly shot into the sky. Transforming into a streak of light, she raced toward the outside of Incense Burning Immortal Valley.
“Heh, looks like there’s no need to ask anymore.” Luo Qiongyan smiled faintly as she watched Yun Biluo flee.
“How is this possible? Biluo’s dantian was clearly crippled…” Ning Qianxue stared after her in disbelief.
“Luo… Qiong… Yan!” Yun Biluo’s venomous voice suddenly echoed from the distant horizon, “You ruined my opportunity today. One day, I will repay you a hundredfold!”
[Oh? Luo Qiongyan just offended the Villain of Destiny. I’m afraid peaceful days will be hard to come by from now on. Hehe, Demon Emperor Linglong and the Heavenly Demon Empress are going to tear into each other. Just imagining that scene is exciting.]
Luo Qiongyan’s expression darkened.
‘You little bastard. I was helping you, and now I’ve made an enemy because of it, yet you’re standing there taking pleasure in my misfortune. Just wait. I’ll deal with you properly later.’
Luo Qiongyan shot Li Qing a fierce glare before turning toward Ning Qianxue. With a faint smile, she said, “Pavilion Master Ning, you truly were blind to the truth.”
“How could this happen…” Ning Qianxue still seemed unable to process everything that had just happened.
“According to our wager, from today onward, you, Ning Qianxue, are no longer the Sword Pavilion Master. I am.” Luo Qiongyan raised a slender finger and pointed toward the outside of the Sword Pavilion. “Pack your things and get out.”
“Luo Qiongyan, don’t push me too far!” Ning Qianxue glared at her furiously.
“What? Are you planning to go back on your word?” Luo Qiongyan’s expression remained indifferent. “I’ve already said everything that needs to be said. After I consummate my marriage with my husband and return, if you’re still in the Sword Pavilion… you die.”
Luo Qiongyan stared at Ning Qianxue with overwhelming dominance.
“You…” Ning Qianxue was rendered speechless.
“Luo Bei.” Luo Qiongyan turned toward Luo Bei, who was still kneeling on the ground.
“This disciple is here,” Luo Bei replied respectfully. You are reading on novelping.com, the official source.
“From today onward, you will be the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion. Whenever I am absent, the Sword Pavilion will be under your management,” Luo Qiongyan said calmly.
“Yes. I obey the Pavilion Master’s command.”
Luo Bei immediately kowtowed before rising to his feet. From beginning to end, he never looked at Ning Qianxue again.
He had already been expelled from his Master’s tutelage. Today, Ning Qianxue had shown him not even the slightest trace of the bond between master and disciple.
Whatever he owed her, he, Luo Bei, would repay it.
At that moment, Luo Qiongyan casually flung the female disciple away and struck her with a palm, directly crippling her cultivation.
“Ah! My cultivation!” The female disciple’s miserable scream tore through the Sword Pavilion.
The surrounding Sword Pavilion disciples immediately fell silent, not daring to make a sound.
“Someone, throw her out of the sect,” Luo Qiongyan ordered calmly.
Two Sword Pavilion disciples immediately stepped forward and dragged the woman away.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully enjoying the gossip. Ding! System reward: 50,000 Modification Points. Current balance: 104,000 Modification Points. Ding! This gossip was huge. A King Realm showdown is truly spectacular. Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering an additional system reward. Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining God-Level Sword Control Art.]
“Holy crap, System Bro, you really came through! Finally, I can shout it too: Sword, come!” Li Qing’s eyes lit up with delight.
Li Qing immediately commanded in his mind, [System, consume 100,000 Modification Points and raise my cultivation to the perfected late-stage Nascent Soul Realm.]
[Ding! 100,000 Modification Points deducted. Current balance: 4,000 Modification Points. Ding! Congratulations to the host. Your cultivation has broken through to the perfected late-stage Nascent Soul Realm.]
[Just like that, I’ve reached the perfected late-stage Nascent Soul Realm. What heavenly treasure could possibly increase cultivation faster than the system? Give me another 100,000 Modification Points, and I’ll be able to break through to the King Realm.]
Li Qing’s heart surged with excitement.
Note: The Modification Points required to break through a major realm are equal to the number of Modification Points required to advance from the current cultivation level to the perfected stage of that realm.
“Husband, your blood and Qi are surging so quickly. Are you already getting impatient to consummate our marriage?” Luo Qiongyan seemed to sense something as she looked at Li Qing.
Li Qing was speechless.
[This woman is bad news. She’s still lusting after my body. I’m excited because my cultivation just broke through, okay?]
‘What? His cultivation broke through?’
Luo Qiongyan’s heart jolted.
The next moment, a strand of her energy entered Li Qing’s body. Almost immediately, an immense and vigorous power surged back toward her senses.
“Perfected late-stage Nascent Soul Realm!” Luo Qiongyan exclaimed in shock.
Was he hiding his cultivation before, or did he truly break through from the early-stage Nascent Soul Realm to the perfected late-stage Nascent Soul Realm in one go?
No, impossible. He must have already been at the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm before. No one can instantly break through several minor stages. Even my true body couldn’t accomplish such a thing.’
Luo Qiongyan gradually calmed herself.
‘Still, reaching the perfected late-stage Nascent Soul Realm in his early twenties makes him an absolute monstrous prodigy.’
“Husband, it’s time for us to return to Divine Jade Peak and perform the wedding ceremony.” Luo Qiongyan smiled beautifully.
She was already breathtakingly beautiful, and when that radiant smile blossomed across her face, countless nearby disciples found themselves completely captivated.
[What? We still have to perform a wedding ceremony? Aren’t you just supposed to force yourself on me? Why do we have to perform the ceremony too? Once we perform the wedding ceremony, the sun and moon will bear witness. There’ll be a written marriage contract presented to the Heavenly Dao, announced to the underworld, reported to the Nine Heavens, and witnessed by all the heavens. This isn’t something to joke about.]
Once they completed the wedding ceremony, the karma tied to Demon Emperor Linglong would fall directly onto his head.
And karma was the most troublesome thing of all.
Li Qing was lazy.
There was no way he would willingly let that kind of trouble cling to him.
[No way. I need to get out of here as quickly as possible.]
Countless thoughts raced through Li Qing’s mind.
Luo Qiongyan leaned closer and gently breathed beside Li Qing’s ear, whispering, “Husband, once we finish the wedding ceremony, you can do whatever you want to me. If you want to force yourself on me, I won’t mind that either.”
[Holy crap, is this woman poisonous or something? How does she know what I’m thinking? What the hell is going on?]
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Li Qing hurriedly turned his head away.
“Come on. Let’s return to the peak…”
At that moment, a furious roar suddenly exploded above Incense Burning Immortal Valley like a thunderclap, shaking the Nine Heavens.
“Luo Qiongyan, hand over our sect’s Holy Son, Li Qing!”
“This pressure… it’s a Great Power Realm expert!” Li Qing immediately looked toward the outside of the sect, his face lighting up with delight.
“They actually chased us all the way here.” Surprise flashed through Luo Qiongyan’s eyes.
“So what if they came?” Luo Qiongyan glanced toward the outside of the sect. “Once we finish the wedding ceremony, none of this will be up to you anymore.”
With that, Luo Qiongyan grabbed Li Qing. Spiritual light swept around them, and in the next instant, they appeared atop a mountain peak shrouded in drifting clouds and mist.
At the same time, countless streaks of light soared into the sky throughout Incense Burning Immortal Valley, surging toward the outside of the sect like a torrential downpour.
A Great Power Realm expert had descended.
Worse still, the newcomer clearly carried hostile intentions. In an instant, the entire Incense Burning Immortal Valley went on high alert, as though facing a formidable enemy.
“Husband, it’s time for us to perform the wedding ceremony.” Luo Qiongyan smiled radiantly.
Her crimson wedding robe wrapped tightly around her tall, graceful figure, accentuating every elegant curve. Her breathtaking smile bloomed like an immortal flower, leaving her so beautiful that words could scarcely describe her.
