The voice coming out from the small green curtain sedan sounded a bit young.
Some young disciples of various sects thought the voice sounded familiar, but they couldn't remember who it was.
As for those high-level swordsmen, they had no idea who the voice was. They thought it was not a formidable figure in the Shui Yue Nunnery Sect.
For some reason, the expression in the Immortal Tan's eyes grew grave when he looked at the small green curtain sedan.
In a courtyard outside the royal palace, Yin San halted his steps and looked in the direction of the royal palace, the expression in his eyes changing slightly.
He was as carefree as ever when the cloud boat of the Zhongzhou School pursued him. He didn't mind Yue Qianmen and dozens of swordsmen of the Zhongzhou School following behind him.
Yet, his expression was very cautious at the moment, and a hint of retreating showed in his eyes.
The Blue Bird landed on his shoulder and asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"
Yin San remarked sentimentally, "I didn't expect that madman to still be alive and to come here."
The eunuchs at the foot of the palace wall were startled, wondering why the sedan was not empty. Was it haunted this early in the morning?
They were so scared that they fell to the ground and crawled away on all fours.
A young woman walked out from the sedan after the green curtain was lifted up.
She wore an ordinary dress and combed her hair in an ordinary style, and her face was also ordinary. There was nothing special about her, but she drew a series of soft exclamations.
"Guo Dong!"
The young disciples of some sects had seen Guo Dong of Shui Yue Nunnery before, and they knew that she had an outstanding talent and a great ambition.
But in fact, no one knew what she wanted all this time.
Many years ago, Pei Baifa and the Godly Swordsman of West Ocean had a duel. Pei Baifa died in the duel, and the Godly Swordsman of West Ocean pretended to sink to the bottom of the ocean after being severely wounded. A disciple of Shui Yue Nunnery attempted to assassinate the Godly Swordsman, but he was killed instead. Many people guessed that the person should be Guo Dong, and they thought that she had died at the time. Unexpectedly, she was still alive.
Even if she was still alive, why did she walk out from the small green curtain sedan and say such a thing? And why did she come to Zhaoge City?
No matter how outstanding her talent in Cultivation was, she was merely a disciple of the younger generation with a low Cultivation state. How dare she get involved in this matter?
Watching her walk to the square, the people's gazes were filled with more and more shock.
Guo Dong came to the middle of the square and said to the Immortal Tan expressionlessly, "I had intended to sneak-attack you or that woman of yours …"
Before she finished her words, the entire world was in an uproar. Everyone knew that she was talking about Bai Zhenren, but the problem was, who in this world dared to call Bai Zhenren a woman? Furthermore … a sneak attack? Who in the world dared sneak attack the Immortal Tan? What made the crowd speechless was that the Immortal Tan didn't get angry after hearing this, nor did he laugh. He remained as quiet as ever.
The cloud above the Yintian Gate did not change at all.
Guo Dong continued, "… But since you are a nice person, I've decided to spare your life and fight with you directly."
The Immortal Tan didn't get angry. All he did was look at her in Silence, as if he were looking at the most important issue in Chaotian.
Everybody was stunned and on the verge of going crazy. How could she say that she would spare the Immortal Tan's life? This was too absurd!
Guo Dong's energy was quite ordinary, and it hadn't improved at all since she came here from the small green curtain sedan. But as soon as she made this statement, her energy had changed abruptly.
A ray of morning sunlight came from the east, shining on her body and her ordinary face. Boom!!!
The violent wind whipped up in the square, rolling up the dust and leaves in the cracks of the green stone slabs and spinning around her body at a high speed. It looked like innumerable strands of silk had gradually turned into a large cocoon, trapping her in the middle.
Some people thought that the Immortal Tan didn't want to lower himself to the level of this crazy disciple of the younger generation, so he employed the magic method to trap her.
In the next moment, the large cocoon made of the wind, dust and leaves suddenly broke open, turning into countless green glows and dissipating in heaven and earth.
Guo Dong was still standing in the same spot, but her energy was exceedingly powerful, even more powerful than the energy of the Immortal Tan.
It was deathly quiet in heaven and earth. Everybody was shocked speechless.
In the eyes of different people, the world was different, and she had a different appearance in the world.
She was still as ordinary as ever, except that the lonely peak in the northernmost part was a bottomless abyss, a dazzling sun, and heaven and earth itself.
Who was this ordinary-looking girl?!
The Immortal Tan looked at her in Silence. The deep expression in his eyes had gradually changed, innumerable shooting stars flashing in his eyes, which were his thoughts.
The lights of the shooting stars converged at one spot in the end, becoming exceedingly bright, indicating surprise, interest, and gratification.
"Lian Sanyue?"
…
…
The monster invasion of the Snowy Kingdom occurred more than six hundred years ago. The royal family was in a civil war, and the dynasty collapsed. The human race was faced with a catastrophe.
The Cultivation sects did their best to resist the Snowy Kingdom, so they had no time to deal with the affairs of the mortal world. Countless bandit soldiers appeared in the north, burning, killing, and looting everywhere, and even treating the populace like sheep.
The populace of the world was in the most miserable state at the time.
It was then that a talented disciple of Shui Yue Nunnery left the East Ocean and headed to the north.
She burned down seventeen bandit strongholds and killed forty thousand bandit soldiers, including their families and children. She had changed the entire chaotic situation by herself.
Nobody had practiced the principle of stopping the killing by killing more than she did.
The soldiers were the lethal weapons, and the Saints had no choice but to do so.
She was the most ferocious swordswoman of that era, and also a true Saint.
It was because she had stabilized the situation that the Cultivation sects had enough time to resist the monster invasion of the Snowy Kingdom and solve the problem, and the Plum Meeting was held later.
The Plum Meeting was the main contributor to the peace of Chaotian in the last six hundred years, and the two emperors of the Jing family had also contributed a lot. But nobody could forget who was the cause of all this.
The talented disciple of Shui Yue Nunnery was none other than Lian Sanyue.
…
…
Lian Sanyue was undoubtedly one of the most powerful swordsmen in Chaotian, and she was considered to be the most likely to ascend successfully after the Immortal Jingyang.
In the years after the Plum Meeting, she could still be seen in the world once in a while, and every time she appeared, there would be a bloody battle.
For some reason, she felt disheartened. She returned to Shui Yue Nunnery and started cultivating behind closed doors, in an attempt to break through the path toward heaven.
There were many rumors about her. Some said that she had died a long time ago, and some said that she had tried to ascend after the Immortal Jingyang had ascended, but died because of the heavenly punishment.
Unexpectedly, such a legendary figure was still alive, and she had turned into a regular disciple of Shui Yue Nunnery and appeared in front of the world.
When the people looked at the woman in the square again, what they saw was not the usual lonely peak, abyss, and sun, but … a bloody ocean.
She had never been an unworldly swordsman like the Immortal Jingyang who didn't care about the affairs of the world, nor was she a kind and forgiving swordsman of the previous generation like the Immortal Liu Ci and the Immortal Tan. She had a different image.
In the history of the Cultivation world, Lian Sanyue's Cultivation state and fighting prowess could be ranked in a very high position, and she would be ranked even higher in terms of the number of people she had killed.
If the people killed by Taiping Zhenren and Emperor Xiao in the world were not counted, nobody in Chaotian had killed more people than she had.
An elder of a deviant sect whose sect had been wiped out by her had said indignantly before his death that she had killed more people than the Church Master of the Bloody Demon Church back then.
Looking at the ordinary woman, many people felt a sense of dread instinctively. They felt their lips were a bit dry, and those who had a guilty conscience even felt their legs turn to jelly.
…
…
Jing Jiu looked at the woman in the square in Silence. He didn't see any blood; all he could see was the scenery outside the round window.
Guo Dong was Lian Sanyue.
Though she didn't succeed in her ascension, she didn't die because of the heavenly punishment. At the critical moment, she chose the method of transforming a silkworm into a butterfly and was reincarnated.
This kind of reincarnation was not the so-called reincarnation of the Zen sects; it was more like a transformation of the body.
Her appearance had changed, her energy had changed, and her name had also changed.
She was still the same person.
This was one of the three paths Jing Jiu had told Zen Master about in the Guocheng Temple.
In fact, Zen Master had told him about this path back when he was on the Shenmo Peak.
He of course knew about this path, because it was her Dao path.
Unfortunately, they had different Dao paths, so they couldn't walk to the end together.
They had traveled together once in their previous lives, but they had a falling out the first time.
This time, they spent a lot more time together. It was because she pretended not to know him, and he pretended not to know her. It was a good arrangement.
It was then that Bai Zhenren's cold voice rang out, "This is a matter between the Zhongzhou School and the Aoyama Sect. Why are you standing there?"
Lian Sanyue said with her hands folded behind her back, "This is a matter of the world. Anyone in the world can meddle in it, and I'm going to meddle in it. What can you do about it?"
What she said was a bit crude, but it was reasonable. It was because the one with the bigger fist was the one in the right.
Though her fists looked small and adorable behind her back, they could create a big hole in the sky if she punched them out.
"You are not a member of the Aoyama Sect after all," said Bai Zhenren.
"But I am his," said Lian Sanyue with a faint smile.
Because of this smile, her ordinary face suddenly became radiant and incomparably moving.
She looked like a flower growing on the cliff wall of an abyss on a lonely peak under the sunlight.
