Chapter 644: Chapter 304: Fang Xue, Disciple of Xiyue Peak, Returns to the Sect Today
Cheng Qingyu was a genius from a young age, reaching Qi Cultivation at eight, Foundation Establishment at ten, Golden Core at fifteen, and Nascent Soul at twenty.
If it weren’t for her father Chen Qingmo secretly being both the Sect Leader of Zhenyang Sect and the Patriarch of the Cheng Family in Qinghe City, necessitating a low profile, she would have revealed her Nascent Soul Cultivation when she first joined Zhenyang Sect.
Now, with the world in a state of flux and Zhenyang Sect facing multiple setbacks, the position of the Leader of the Righteous Path seemed insecure.
Amid this impending chaos, it was the perfect time to showcase her abilities and make a name for herself.
Cheng Qingyu decided to no longer hide her cultivation, and Liu Su was one of the stepping stones she would use to demonstrate her prowess.
In Cheng Qingyu’s eyes, a mere Golden Core Fourth-Layer was just an ant.
To become part of her rise to fame was already a great honor.
At this moment, Cheng Qingyu exerted her full strength, causing all the surrounding Zhenyang Sect disciples to be unable to move, and the little maid next to Liu Su was pale and trembling all over.
Cheng Qingyu felt pleased, and walked towards Liu Su with a cold demeanor.
She intentionally slowed her steps, wanting not only to make Liu Su kneel, but also to completely crush her Tao Heart.
However, Liu Su showed no trace of fear on her face; instead, she took a step forward, with Spiritual Power surging around her as well.
"Golden Core Eighth-Layer?!"
The Xiyue Peak disciples around were stunned again, many of whom knew Liu Su.
"I remember Junior Sister He was only Golden Core Fourth-Layer two months ago?"
"How did she go on a training trip down the mountain and directly ascend four minor realms?"
"This, this defies all common logic, doesn’t it?"
"Have you forgotten? The Senior Sister who taught in the Outer Sect always said that Junior Sister He was an unparalleled genius, just too lazy."
"So she could improve so much with just a little bit of cultivation? Terrifyingly so!"
Amidst the exclamations and discussions, Cheng Qingyu’s face revealed even greater surprise.
On Cyan Lotus Mountain, Liu Su was clearly only Golden Core Fourth-Layer; back then, she couldn’t move an inch under the pressure of her Nascent Soul Realm.
Now after just a few days, Liu Su had actually risen four minor realms!
This terrifying speed of improvement made Cheng Qingyu, who had been considered a genius from a young age, feel a deep sense of defeat.
In front of Liu Su, her own genius seemed to mean nothing.
This person cannot be left alive!
An intent to kill surged in Cheng Qingyu’s eyes, just as she was about to act, a steward disciple flew in from afar with Sword Control, saying to Cheng Qingyu:
"Senior Sister Cheng, someone has trespassed into the mountain gate!"
The disciples were stunned.
"What? Someone actually dared to trespass into our Zhenyang Sect’s mountain gate?!"
"This hasn’t happened in how many years!"
"How audacious!"
Cheng Qingyu’s face turned dark; Zhenyang Sect was the number one sect in the world, and no one had dared to trespass in so many years.
If today’s matter was not handled well, the sect’s prestige would certainly be greatly damaged, and she, the duty patrol disciple, wouldn’t be able to escape blame.
She gave Liu Su a hard look: "I will deal with your offense when I return!"
Then she led her men and flew down the mountain.
"Consider yourself lucky for slipping away!"
Liu Su made a face in the direction Cheng Qingyu left, then turned back to Yun Wu and said:
"Xiaowu, are you okay?"
Yun Wu shook her head. She had a Pure Spirit Body and could contain more Spiritual Energy than a hundred thousand Cheng Qingyu, so she wouldn’t be suppressed by that bit of Nascent Soul Realm Spiritual Energy.
She was just a bit nervous earlier, afraid that she and Sister Susu would get beaten by the bad guys.
"Someone dared to trespass into Zhenyang Sect’s mountain gate, interesting. Xiaowu, do you want to go watch the commotion?"
"Huh?"
...
A stick of incense ago.
At the base of Zhenyang Mountain.
In front of a gigantic mountain gate.
A woman dressed in white ascended the steps slowly walking towards the mountain gate, being stopped by the disciples guarding the gate.
"This is the land of the immortals, mere mortals are not allowed to intrude!"
The woman bowed and saluted, "I am Fang Xue, a disciple of Xiyue Peak, returning to the sect today."
The two disciples exchanged a glance and looked her up and down.
They saw that the woman appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features, wearing a plain white long dress, her long hair neatly tied at the back, holding no sword, and possessing no Spiritual Power whatsoever.
The two couldn’t help but sneer, waving a hand and saying, "If you seek immortal fate, there is a Merit Hall below, where you can burn incense and pray."
Fang Xue calmly saluted again: "Two senior brothers, I am Fang Xue from Xiyue Peak, returning to the sect today."
One male disciple became impatient: "Can’t you understand human words, mortal? Go away now!"
The other suddenly remembered something, examining Fang Xue carefully, he gasped lightly:
"Are you the Fang Xue who colluded with Si Minglan to kill the Second Prince of West Imperial Dynasty?!"
His companion recalled too, looking at Fang Xue with hostility: "So it’s you, the abandoned disciple of the sect? You’ve committed a great crime and have been expelled from Zhenyang Sect, how dare you come to the mountain gate to pester today?!"
Fang Xue asked in confusion: "During the trial of the Six Peaks, I only appeared as a witness, the sect did not punish me. Why do you say this?"
These two also noticed that she had no Spiritual Power at all, speaking with growing impatience:
"Si Minglan has been executed, and you dare still mention those false testimonies? If you don’t leave, don’t blame us for being ruthless!"
Fang Xue bowed a third time: "Two senior brothers, I just wish to return to the sect to participate in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, please let me through."
"Immortal Ascension Ceremony?"
"You? Please leave; we won’t act on a useless person!"
The two gatekeeping disciples became even more dismissive upon hearing this, but saw Fang Xue calmly take a step forward, enraging them. They reached out to shove Fang Xue away, only to be sent flying by a gentle wave of Spiritual Power.
"You, didn’t you lose your cultivation?"
The two fell to the ground, unable to use any Spiritual Power, instantly terrified.
This Fang Xue clearly had no cultivation, how was she able to easily knock them down?
Seeing Fang Xue walking into the mountain gate, heading towards Zhenyang Mountain, the two quickly took out a Sound Transmission Talisman to alert the gate.
Fang Xue had not walked far before several figures flew in from the sky, landing in front of her. One of them, with delicate features and a sharp gaze, looked at her coldly:
"Are you the traitorous disciple Fang Xue who was expelled from the sect? How dare you trespass into Zhenyang Sect, are you looking for death?"
Fang Xue bowed: "Fang Xue, an outer sect disciple of Xiyue Peak, greets Senior Sister Cheng."
When she first joined Zhenyang Sect, Cheng Qingyu had arranged residences for numerous outer sect disciples, which was why Fang Xue recognized her.
"You dare to call me Senior Sister?" Cheng Qingyu was furious and her Spiritual Power surged, trying to press Fang Xue to the ground.
However, the Nascent Soul Realm Spiritual Pressure directed at Fang Xue had no effect whatsoever.
"If Senior Sister Cheng has no other business, I will head to Xiyue Peak and pay respects to Senior Sister Ye first."
Fang Xue calmly walked around Cheng Qingyu, continuing forward.
Being disregarded infuriated Cheng Qingyu: "Such arrogance! Trespassers of the mountain gate shall be killed without mercy!"
She pointed a finger at Fang Xue, sending a sword condensed with Spiritual Power straight at Fang Xue’s back.
Suddenly, a pure white light appeared on Fang Xue’s back, shattering the Sword Qi before it got close.
Cheng Qingyu squinted her eyes: "I misjudged you. I didn’t expect that Taoist Friend Fang was hiding her cultivation all along. Since you are still a cultivator, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
A brilliant emerald Immortal Sword appeared in Cheng Qingyu’s hand, transforming into a dazzling green light charging towards Fang Xue.
Clang!
A snow-white long sword appeared out of nowhere, deflecting the emerald Immortal Sword.
Cheng Qingyu was shocked, looking at the pure snow-white strange long sword:
"Where did you get such an Immortal Artifact?"
Fang Xue turned around, answering: "This is the sword I comprehended from the Dao, named Xuetang."
