After lunch, Ye Qinghan cultivated for a while before setting off.
“Qinghan, don’t be nervous, don’t be afraid. Just follow the plan. With me here, nothing will go wrong.” Su Cheng looked at the tall figure standing on the flying immortal sword. In his eyes, she looked like a general going off to war… or a daughter being married off. His heart was filled with emotion, yet after much hesitation, all he managed to say was a single reminder.
Ye Qinghan understood Su Cheng’s feelings. She could hear the concern in her master’s voice and feel the deep affection he had for her.
“Master, don’t worry. I’ll be back in no time. How about you warm the wine while I destroy Tranquil Cloud Sect with it?”
“Qinghan, you know about ‘warming the wine to kill Hua Xiong’?” Su Cheng looked shocked. Could this world also have the Three Kingdoms?
“Hmm? Who’s Hua Xiong?” Ye Qinghan didn’t understand her master’s words, nor did she grasp the world he spoke of.
But her master was so powerful—being able to travel through different worlds didn’t seem strange at all.
“Never mind…”
The slender figure stood atop the immortal sword. A golden streak of light shot across the sky. As Su Cheng watched her fly away, he couldn’t help but feel a strange emptiness in his chest…
“Hehe, looks like I really have no choice but to play the role of the villain now.”
On the other side, Ye Qinghan was in no rush. After flying for a while, she turned and headed in another direction.
The far north, a land of extreme cold, beneath the snowy plains stretching for thousands of kilometers—Ye Qinghan returned to her hometown after two years.
Landing slowly, her feet crunched into the snow. Though she could now walk without leaving a trace, she still missed the feeling of stepping in snow.
She remembered how she had once been just a little fox, not yet able to take human form, leaving tiny plum blossom paw prints in the snow.
Following the path etched in her memory, Ye Qinghan arrived at her former home—now nothing but the ruins of the Northern Demon Capital.
Her parents’ remains were long gone. She could only sit atop the ruined city gate, staring at the scorched earth left behind by fire. Even after so many years, snow had never fallen here again. The land remained unnaturally hot.
“Mother, I’m back.”
“Your daughter has met a wonderful master. He didn’t mind that I was foolish, and accepted me as his personal disciple.”
“Master understood my fate and gave me the name Qinghan, hoping to help me defy the heavens and rewrite my destiny.”
“Master never looked down on me for being low-born. He gave me six great gifts, taught me immortal techniques, and treated me like his own. He never once showed contempt.”
“Your daughter is doing well now. I’m already very strong! Hehe.”
“I came only to say hello, so please don’t worry about me.”
“Next time I come, I’ll bring the heads of our enemies to offer before your spirit. I haven’t forgotten our blood feud…”
A flower formed of frozen ice bloomed in place of her figure, as if a young girl stood guard over a deserted city… or a soft light shone over a lonely grave. Ye Qinghan left.
This was the only snowflake that could remain on this eternal scorched land.
The immortal sword descended slowly, and the sword case slammed heavily at the gate of Tranquil Cloud Sect, like a death knell. With a loud bang, it pried open the gates of the underworld.
“Who goes there?”
“My name is Ye Qinghan. I heard you were looking for me?” Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
Ye Qinghan sat atop the sword case, swinging her jade-like legs casually. She wasn’t the least bit anxious. She had prepared everything in advance. No one would escape.
The worst of the magical treasures given by her master were all top-tier Heaven-grade treasures. Even if the sect master of Tranquil Cloud Sect showed up, he wouldn’t be able to flee!
She had come under her master’s order to wipe out the entire sect. Within the range of the Heaven-Crushing Tablet, if you were still breathing, she would not let you go!
“Go tell your sect master, Ye Qinghan is here! Tell him to crawl out and face me!”
The dominant chief disciple is now online!
“And who do you think you are? Do you even know where you are right now?”
“Are you deaf or just dumb?”
Ye Qinghan curled her lip. With one sword slash to the throat, four immortal swords floated behind her.
This time the gatekeeping disciple got the message and ran off to call for backup.
Before long, a group surrounded Ye Qinghan.
“Our Tranquil Cloud Sect has no grudge or enmity with the immortal lady. Why have you come to cause trouble?” An old man pushed through the crowd and was the first to speak. His tone was probing.
“It was Cheng Liang who ordered you to kill Su Cheng, wasn’t it?”
The old man froze, then realized—this was Ye Chenmeng!
“That’s not true. All our sect disciples were at home yesterday. No one went out.”
Ye Qinghan laughed.
Smack! A loud slap landed on his face.
“Are you mentally challenged? Can you find someone with a normal IQ to talk to me?”
The old man was stunned. He was at least in the Nascent Soul Realm! When had he ever been slapped like this?
“What do you mean by this, young lady?”
“I said, bring out your sect master. Or I’ll kill every last one of you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, four immortal swords flew out. In the blink of an eye, several corpses lay peacefully on the ground.
This time, the old man panicked. But he could tell that this person had come to pick a fight without a shred of fear!
She clearly had serious backing…
Smack!
Ye Qinghan swung her arm in a wide arc and landed another slap. The old man was nearly sent flying to the afterlife.
“Are you deaf? I’m talking to you, old fool!”
Feeling that this kind of polite exchange wasn’t getting results, Ye Qinghan raised her hand. A Heaven-Crushing Tablet floated into the sky. It was meant to deal with the sect-protecting formation of Tranquil Cloud Sect.
But since there was no usage limit, she could use it on anyone. After all, her master hadn’t set any restrictions…
“No need for you to call him. I’ll call him myself!”
Her jade hand dropped, and the sky-darkening Heaven-Crushing Tablet smashed down…
The old man looked up at the darkened sky and felt like the heavens were falling…
What kind of terrifying monster was this?!
No one had ever mentioned that their sect master knew such a terrifying immortal!
Ye Qinghan stood atop the immortal sword in the sky, watching as the Heaven-Crushing Tablet pulverized Tranquil Cloud Sect beneath it…
With a thunderous roar, even the heavens trembled!
A plume of black smoke rose a hundred meters high. It was an apocalyptic scene.
The elder who had just been slapped twice had been silently rejoicing that he hadn’t angered the immortal woman. Now… there wasn’t even a corpse left to find.
“For what reason has our Tranquil Cloud Sect offended you, immortal lady, to provoke such wrath?”
“You’re the sect master?”
Ye Qinghan sat on her immortal sword, looking down upon the ants below with disdain.
The speaker was a man over fifty. For a cultivator, that wasn’t considered old.
“I am Qiao Yun, sect master of Tranquil Cloud Sect.”
Qiao Yun had originally intended to escape, but realized the area was already sealed off with barriers. The immortal tools creating the formations were still visibly floating overhead.
“Do you not use your brain? Sending a few lackeys to kill Su Cheng? He’s a sect master, not a clay doll!”
Only now did Qiao Yun understand. This immortal woman had come because his mission had failed!
But wasn’t it this very immortal who killed his disciples?
“Immortal lady, please don’t be angry. Sect Master Cheng told me that Su Cheng had no cultivation. That’s why I only sent Foundation Establishment Realm disciples.”
Though Qiao Yun wore a sycophantic smile on his face, he was cursing Ye Qinghan a thousand times in his heart.
Wretched woman! You became his disciple just to get his treasures, and now that you’ve got them, you want to leave and still keep a good reputation?
If that Su Cheng of yours knew what kind of person you really were, he’d probably die from anger on the spot!
