Chapter 71 There's a Young Lady Who Came Here on a Fish
Nangong Jie didn't sense the sword at the back of his head at all. To a Starburst Realm cultivator like him, it was either that the newcomer was an expert manipulator of True Energy who didn't leak any of his energy or that the sword behind him was a high-level weapon. Level 1 was a Taoist object while Level 2 would make it a spiritual object. This sword was at the level of Spirit Sword at the minimum. The gurgling sound of running water rang next to Nangong Jie's ears. He lifted his hands. Sweat was forming on his forehead and he dared not to make any movement. He could feel the skin on the back of his neck tremble from the ice-cold sensation coming from the tip of the sword. Without turning his head, he asked cautiously, "Who are you?" "I'm nobody," Ye Que replied indifferently. "You wield a Spirit Sword and even ambush someone from behind?" Nangong Jie continued, innuendo lacing his words. "That's

Chapter 72 Conquer Minds Rather Than Destroy Bodies
The blooming of pear blossom flowers spelled the arrival of fine rain. Nangong Jie's sword rain exploded and looked like it was about to envelop everything. Ye Que finally made his move. He shifted his wrist ever so slightly and tapped lightly on the tip of his foot while bending his body. He moved like a burst of wind sticking close to the ground, evading and erasing the sword rain with his Wind-slicing sword style. He slashed at the edge of the curtain of rain. Before the Wind-slicing sword style landed, the Thorny Rain was already unleashed. The tip of the sword pierced the dazzling rain formation right in the middle with incredible precision. There was a real sword lying in the heart of the formation! Following an ear-piercing sound of friction, Ye Que unleashed the third and fourth sword styles: Crystalized Frost and Scattered Mist. The wind picked up and forcefully spiraled around Nangong Jie's

Chapter 73 Sword Fanatic Who Eats Swords
"Conquer minds or destroy bodies?" The young lady who came here on a fish stared fixedly at Ye Que as she questioned him curiously. Ye Que stared at the plump goldfish in the air that was shaking its wide tail and displaying its four transparent fins. With a sway or two of its body, it landed on the Grass-pecking Cliff. Then, it transformed into a bulging spice bag with a single shake and automatically hung itself on the young lady's waist. After witnessing this strange scene, Ye Que asked indifferently, "Conquering minds or destroying bodies? You can take it whichever you want." "I think it's conquering minds." The young lady placed a finger to her lips. She encircled Ye Que and then looked at the marks left behind on the ground by the battle earlier. "I spotted your Spirit Sword from afar. If I'm not mistaken, it's one of the 13 Mother and Children of Spring and Autumn Swords recorded in the Million Swords Registry." "Judging

Chapter 74 Cracked Ground
These were his fellow Qingqiu Sword Sect disciples, his senior brothers and senior sisters, and yet Ye Que didn't know any of them. He hadn't even heard of the name of the so-called girl genius. His knowledge of the birth of the Divine Tool, the River Soldiers, was even more so sparse. This sounded like a fantasy but the truth was that he really had no idea. In his previous life, he had been reticent and laser-focused on cultivation when he first entered the Qingqiu Sword Sect. He completely ignored what was going on in the world outside, least of all the gossip in the Cultivation World. By the time he began communicating with those around him like an ordinary person, a few years had passed and the incident at the ley lines of sovereignty of the Imperial Mausoleum was already a done deal. Not only did the Qingqiu Sword Sect gain nothing, but they even lost their disciples. Naturally, they wouldn't spread this news.

Chapter 75 Consuming Meat and Expulsion
"That Three-eyed Spirit Deer belongs to us." Even though Li Jianqi was her idol, Nalan Rongruo was never one to yield when it came to principles. "The Spirit Deer was left on the ground without anyone picking it up. Since I picked it up, naturally it's mine," Li Jianqi said righteously. "Besides, you caught this deer for food. I didn't say that I'm going to eat it alone. Everyone's free to join." "If anyone's eating it, it's ours," Nalan Rongruo replied stubbornly. "Let's just say the deer is yours, alright?" Li Jianqi rolled her eyes. "So are you eating or not?" "Of course! Whoever doesn't eat it is an idiot." "I have never eaten this deer before." Their Spiritual Force was fluctuating after spending a good 15 minutes running for their lives. Nalan Rongruo and her fellow disciples had depleted nearly all of their Spiritual Force. This Three-eyed Spirit Deer was exactly what they needed

Chapter 76 The Youngster Who Admits His Cowardice and The Girl Who's Unafraid of Dying
They ran as if their lives depended on it. The group had been running from noon to dusk, from the Grass-pecking Cliff to the lush green forest and all the way to the dark wasteland. The sun gradually descended, dimming what little light in the wasteland as twilight gained strength. Standing against a backdrop of the setting sun, Ye Que and his seven companions looked at the pure-black silhouette that had gradually transformed into a blood-red canvas from afar. By now, they had noticed some rhyme and rhythm to all these phenomena. Every hour since the destruction of the maple forest, the ground would collapse, disappear, and become a hole of immeasurable depth. The ground would start caving in from the sides and gradually compress toward the center. The process would last for 15 minutes each time. This place was like a living rounded pocket that progressively shrunk in an attempt to herd all living creatures toward its center.

Chapter 77 Born a Wolf
The night was so dark that there wasn't even a ray of moonlight. The only light source was the dim stars in the sky. The campsite that they hastily found was a canvas of darkness. This place seemed even darker than the wasteland around them. Silence persisted. The only noise was the faint sound of breathing. The group had changed their campsite three times in a single night. Even if their bodies were made of iron, they would inevitably go hungry. Out of the blue, a sniffling sound came from afar. It didn't sound like the wolves were trying to ambush them but the person on guarding duty was still nervous. Ye Que opened his eyes momentarily before shutting them again. Soon, the sound became closer and it became clear who it was. It was the independent female disciple from the Silent Monastery. She was still riding her plump goldfish but the fish appeared to be in a miserable condition. Half of its gold

Chapter 78 The Rapport Between Shameless Factions
The curtain of night enveloped the dark wasteland as a massacre quietly began. Different groups of cultivators were huddled toward the same area by the cracking ground within a short time. The repeated encounters led to fierce battles. The density of humans became increasingly high while the Five Main Tribes of the Demon Race gradually acted upon the cultivators. Some were so terrified that they began hiding while some disguised themselves as demons and killed their opponents in the confusion. There were also those who quietly prepared to hunt demons as a way of gaining notoriety. Soon, countless silhouettes began engaging in a confused battle. The dead fell to the ground, battered and bloodied. The living fought back even more fiercely. Gradually, the earth absorbed more and more blood, some belonging to the human cultivators and some belonging to the cultivators from the Demon Race. E

Chapter 79 Single-log Bridge or the Underworld
It didn't take long for the temperature in the dark wasteland to drop tremendously low. The wind never ceased. Though the gusts weren't terribly cold, they could pierce the depths of the body through the crevices of clothing like fine strands of hair and gradually rob the body of its warmth. After evading yet another cracking on the ground, Ye Que's group finally detected something unusual. The Eldest Senior Brother of the Seven Sabers Sect of Qingqiu, Yan Ziyue, stared into the distance with a frown. Looking past the sparse and short shrubs, he could vaguely see some shadows moving. "Something's wrong. Let's not set up camp first. Send a few people to scout out the place," Yan Ziyue said, sounding a little uncertain. "Senior Brother Yan, did you notice something?" Lin Xibei from the Incense Fragrance Valley of Qingqiu turned his head to look around. "Better safe than sorry. It's never wrong to be mo

Chapter 80 I'll Kill You If You Disobey Me
The sun bathed the clouds in blood-red sunlight. The daytime that should represent vitality now resembled the white cloth hung during a funeral. Danger and death were knocking at the door but the discussion was still ongoing. This concerned their lives; no one was willing to make a joke out of it. "I think we should break out of the siege from the east. There, we can prevent a two-sided attack. Who knows if those from Mount Shu and the Judicature aren't mad? If they're really trying to weaken our strength to obtain the Divine Tool, they might silence us with death!" Yan Ziyue of the Seven Sabers Sect of Qingqiu suggested the cruelest, worst-case scenario. "Not the east. We should break out the siege from the north. Don't forget the natural disaster that will swallow us is right behind us. What if the ground cracks while we're breaking out? The north is safer," Lin Xibei of the Incense Fragrance Valley said serenely. "Didn't any
