Bai Zao wore a curtained hat with a white veil hanging down from the brim of the hat, covering her face slightly.
A white ribbon passed through her arm, drifting behind her as it rose up with the wind.
Looking from a distance, she looked like a fairy lady in white.
Her feeble and peaceful energy was like the lake water.
Like the willow branch.
Like the reflection of the willow branch on the surface of the lake.
The whole Cultivation circle knew that she was the precious daughter of the Sect Master and his wife of the Zhongzhou School. She was born intelligent and resourceful, and her talent in Cultivation was also very high. However, her talent in Cultivation was not very promising because of her inborn deficiency. For some reason, she and Jing Jiu were all cured after being trapped in the snowland for six years in the Cultivation tournament of the Plum Meeting.
Since then, her talent in Cultivation had been fully demonstrated. She and Tong Yan were the only two people on the Cloud-Dream Mountain who could be compared to Zhao Layue and Zhuo Rusui of the Aoyama Sect. However, no matter how talented she was in Cultivation, why did she appear in the square of the royal palace and walk toward the grand hall?
Seeing this scene, the Cultivation practitioners suddenly thought of a possibility, feeling shocked speechless, wondering if she would be the third person of the Zhongzhou School.
How could it be possible?
A Cultivation practitioner in the Yuanying State participating in a contest of such a high level was no different from seeking death.
Even the Immortal Tan and Kou Qingtong had been defeated by Lian Sanyue; how could she defeat her?
Even if Lian Sanyue didn't participate in the contest, it was impossible for her to defeat the other swordsmen of the Aoyama Sect.
…
…
Bai Zao walked over slowly, the morning wind ruffling the hem of her skirt and the white satin.
The expression on Jing Jiu's face was grave. He knew that she would be the third opponent of the Aoyama Sect that day, and also the strongest one.
The expression in Lian Sanyue's eyes was a bit cold. "You shouldn't have taught my magic method to her," she said to Jing Jiu.
Jing Jiu said, "Since it started because of me, let me fight this one."
Ping Yong-Ka listened behind the two of them and could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. He thought to himself, Master, you can't be so excessive even if you want to take advantage of others, right? You didn't hit the strange man in green when he came; you didn't make a sound when the Immortal Tan came; but you wanted to go out when a weak little girl came. Maybe I can do it after a few more years of practice. Moreover, everybody on the Shenmo Peak knows the relationship between you and that little girl; would she have the heart to hit you?
It was natural that Lian Sanyue didn't agree with Jing Jiu's opinion, though her reason sounded a bit odd.
"You're too weak now. Even if you use that move, you might not be her match."
Ping Yong-Ka sucked in a mouthful of cold air soundlessly once more. He imitated Senior Brother Yuan Qu and scratched his head speechlessly, thinking, Is there a need to be so cautious? Furthermore, she was worried that her master could not defeat her?
Jing Jiu, on the other hand, showed a rare firmness. He even seemed a little stubborn as he said, "This is my business."
Yet, Lian Sanyue was more insistent than Jing Jiu, asking, "Should we have a fight first?"
"Okay," replied Jing Jiu, refusing to back down.
After a moment of silence, Lian Sanyue said, "Forget it then. You go ahead."
Jing Jiu got up from the stone steps and headed toward the square.
All of a sudden, a bright morning sunlight shone down from the sky, enshrouding him.
Jing Jiu raised his right hand without hesitation and wielded it toward the morning sunlight.
It was well known that he usually used the Sword of the Universe, the First Child Sword, or the Thoughtless Sword; and he would only use his right hand at the critical moment.
It meant that he had determined immediately that he had to exert his full strength.
What was it that made him so anxious?
…
…
It was difficult to cut the water with a sword, but Ping Yong-Ka had done it.
Few people in this world could cut the morning sunlight with a sword.
Jing Jiu might be able to do it, but he couldn't cut off this morning sunlight; it was because Lian Sanyue had borrowed this morning sunlight from the morning sun by employing the Heaven-Human Connection.
The more troublesome part was that the morning sunlight had countless ripples, which looked like small circles, locking Jing Jiu's sword wills inside.
Along with a series of tapping sounds, Lian Sanyue's finger passed through Jing Jiu's black hair and landed on his damaged earlobe, a circular light wave rising from the tip of her finger.
Jing Jiu couldn't move an inch after being bound by the light.
"I've been asleep for so many years, but I still have a dream once in a while. I dream of the quiet room at the Three-Thousand Nunnery and the round window outside the room, where I have comprehended a magic method."
Lian Sanyue walked to the front of Jing Jiu and said to him while turning around, "I want to call it the Pleasant Night. What do you think?"
It was a peaceful and pleasant time when Jing Jiu stayed at the Three-Thousand Nunnery.
The Young Master Li often came here to play zither to the horses, and the song he played the most was "The Pleasant Night."
It was unclear if she was asking about Jing Jiu's opinion of the name or the magic method.
Jing Jiu didn't say anything. All he did was look at her in Silence.
Lian Sanyue said with raised eyebrows, "Give up. You won't use that move anyway."
If he used that move, the result would be either her death or his.
"You can't defeat her," said Jing Jiu while looking at her in Silence.
Lian Sanyue said with a faint smile, "You'll never be able to defeat me in this lifetime. So I'll do it myself."
It was the same as in her previous life. She would never be able to defeat him even if she didn't cry.
Having said that, she plucked the peach flower from her temple and inserted it into his ear. "It looks good," she said satisfactorily after looking at it for a while.
Recalling what Nan Wang said in Scenery Garden, Jing Jiu asked, "Didn't you feel it was strange at first?"
"I'm talking about this flower," said Lian Sanyue shyly.
This peach flower looked good even though it was stained with blood and had a petal missing.
Your face changed because of the missing part of your ear, but it still looked good.
…
…
Seeing Lian Sanyue walking toward the square, Jing Jiu didn't say anything more.
As Ping Yong-Ka walked to the foot of the stone steps, he was about to say something to Jing Jiu; but he stopped reflexively when he saw Jing Jiu's face.
Why did his Master's expression look so sad? It was as if … he was bidding farewell to someone and would never see that person again.
Ping Yong-Ka suddenly felt sad as well, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Help me," said Jing Jiu all of a sudden.
Ping Yong-Ka thought he had heard it wrong. He didn't come back to his senses until he heard Jing Jiu repeat the words "help me". "How can I help you?" he asked hastily.
Jing Jiu said, "Gather all of your sword source and temper your body by reversing the will of the sword, forcing the will of the sword out for me."
"How much do you need?" asked Ping Yong-Ka.
"All of it," said Jing Jiu.
For a swordsman, it was extremely dangerous to force the will of the sword out by reversing the sword source, not to mention all of the will of the sword.
Jing Jiu knew that Ping Yong-Ka would be safe, but Ping Yong-Ka didn't. Yet, Jing Jiu sat down on the ground without a second thought and started to activate the will of the sword with his eyes closed.
…
…
When Lian Sanyue arrived in the middle of the square, Bai Zao was still in the distance.
The patch of cloud and fog in the distance had gathered again, enshrouding Bai Zhenren, making her voice sound a bit faintly discernible. "It's a bit surprising that you're still alive, but you can't change anything."
Lian Sanyue said expressionlessly, "The Immortal Tan is actually not bad; but do you know why I don't like him?"
Bai Zhenren said, "People of our generation are all aware that you only have eyes for Jingyang. You don't even like Cao Yuan; how could you like someone as dull and boring as him?"
"No," said Lian Sanyue. "I don't like him because he married someone like you in order to become the sect master of the Center Sect."
The Immortal Bai pressed, "Where did your hostility toward me come from then?"
"It's because of her, of course." Lian Sanyue waved her sleeve a few times.
The wind in the square grew stronger, ruffling the ribbons on Bai Zao's arms and the veil on the curtain hat, exposing her face.
Bai Zao's eyes were closed, her long eyelashes not blinking at all. Her face was ruddy, looking like a sleeping child.
The eerie thing was that she was still walking forward.
"I thought this child was extremely adorable the first time I saw her."
Looking at Bai Zhenren in the cloud and fog, Lian Sanyue said sternly, "As her mother, how could you do it?!"
She had said that she didn't want to talk to Bai Zhenren that day; but seeing Bai Zao show up, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart any longer; she was determined to teach him a lesson.
The patch of cloud and fog retreated from the royal palace.
Bai Zhenren didn't respond to her question.
…
…
It suddenly rained in the sunny sky.
It was the sun rain.
It was also the sign of the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth.
Countless dark clouds came over from all directions of the sky, blocking the sunlight instantly and making the world dark.
Countless bolts of lightning could be vaguely seen amidst the clouds, ready to strike down at any moment.
Bai Zao flew to the high sky with his eyes closed, the white ribbons fluttering in the air, as if he was writing words that nobody could understand.
The violent wind was howling, and the rainstorm was like arrows. The energy of heaven and earth was in chaos, as if the heavenly punishment was coming.
Crack!!! Crack!!!
Countless thunder boomed, and countless bolts of lightning struck down from the high sky, entering Bai Zao's body.
Some of the lightning bolts came from the clouds, and some from the Thunder Region.
It seemed that some of them came from a higher place.
