Chapter 109: Star Sky Alien Eradication Mission

Just as Zhang Yunlu began another match, a post on the Sword Sect’s internal forum had many comments.

【Another Wu Li cultivator is climbing the leaderboard—when do you think she’ll start Foundation Establishment?】

Aminos: “No more than a week.”

Qingfeng Shang You Qingfeng: “Are you upstairs just talking nonsense?”

Qingfeng Shang You Qingfeng: “I guess three days—I think she’ll top the leaderboard tomorrow, rest one day, then start Foundation Establishment the day after.”

Jianke A San: “By the way, those squads preparing to climb the leaderboard must be stunned now that someone’s spamming it.”

Afu Aishua Jian: “I don’t get it—Wu Li Qi Refining may be strong, but any Foundation Establishment mid-to-high cultivator can easily beat her. Since we know who she is, why not just go find her offline and warn her to stop?”

Aminos: “Look, here’s a fool/pointing with finger”

Dan Ding Bu Yi Dian: “This is satire, right? I don’t believe there are still such idiots this late.”

Afu Aishua Jian: “Zhang Yunlu hasn’t joined any top-ranked squads. Given the huge benefits of topping the leaderboard, it’s normal someone would bother her, isn’t it?”

Afu Aishua Jian: “If I were the top Qi Refining cultivator, I’d definitely send someone to warn her.”

The current top Qi Refining cultivator belongs to a fairly strong squad, one with considerable presence even within the Inner Sect.

Dan Ding Bu Yi Dian: “Alright, so he really is an idiot. This kind of emotional outburst using intestinal peristalsis instead of thought—I could never fake it in a million years.”

Mingfeng - Xu Changming: “You fucking asshole! Do you think I’m so bored I’d go hassle a Wu Li Qi Refining cultivator?!”

Xu Changming of Mingfeng Squad, current top Qi Refining combatant.

Aminos: “Haha, the real person’s been exposed.”

Jianke A San: “Spread the word—Mingfeng Squad is going after the Wu Li Qi Refining cultivator!”

Qingfeng Shang You Qingfeng: “Is Mingfeng Squad sending a Jin Dan cultivator offline to confront the Wu Li Qi Refining leaderboard spammer?”

The rumors didn’t stop with the real person’s appearance—instead, more people fanned the flames below.

By the time it reached the end, it had turned into a rumor that Mingfeng Squad planned to have a Hua Shen Elder manipulate things to assign Zhang Yunlu a mission guaranteed to kill her.

【Heard Mingfeng Squad wants to target the Wu Li Qi Refining cultivator? Do you think she really has no connections?】

The content was just one image.

【Name: Zhang Yunlu】

【Squad: Future Sect Master Alliance】

In the Sword Sect, the only person who could have created a squad with this name is one person—Little Master Ancestor! Back then, many wanted to join her squad, but she rejected them all.

So the threshold is Wu Li? As soon as this post appeared, a flood of comments mocked Mingfeng Squad for kicking a iron plate.

Others speculated which Hua Shen Elder they’d assign.

Mingfeng Squad, upon seeing these remarks, were stunned—they had never even considered bothering her!

Zhang Yunlu was unaware of the forum’s discussion about her, and Chi Jiuyu, due to Yue Ling’s involvement, had not participated at all.

…………

The next morning.

Chi Jiuyu and Yue Ling walked out chatting and laughing.

Though their meeting hadn’t been pleasant, after a night of familiarity, Chi Jiuyu found her master’s Life Sword suited her well.

“I’ll tell you, don’t think your master is cold and silent now—she used to love talking.”

“Oh?”

“She was just like you—chatty, chattering away, especially at night when she loved hugging me and talking.”

Yue Ling had even suspected her lack of height after transformation was due to sleep deprivation back then.

“That’s called lively!” Chi Jiuyu emphasized. “So why did your master become like this?”

She felt her master should be just like her—turns out she was right.

“Hmm…” Yue Ling recalled, “I think it was after Master and Sword Ancestor’s master passed away—Master spoke less and less, until she became like this.”

Master and Little Master’s master?

“Do you remember Grandmaster?” “I have a faint memory—I recall Master and Sword Ancestor both respected him deeply.”

“...”

Isn’t that obvious? “Also, he was always busy, and when he had free time, he loved raising fish.”

Raising fish?

Chi Jiuyu remembered the nine fish she’d eaten back then… she was starting to understand why her master had been so angry she’d hung her up and whipped her.

As she was about to ask more, a slender figure suddenly appeared ahead—it was Bie Xuening.

Both halted, suddenly feeling guilty.

“Come.”

With a soft word, Yue Ling felt herself pulled uncontrollably toward her.

“Master, I’m sorry—”

Before she finished speaking, her entire body transformed into her true sword form and landed in Bie Xuening’s hand.

“—of!”

Chi Jiuyu: “...”

If she hadn’t misread it, Yue Ling had almost knelt just now? That’s it?

Last night she’d been bragging to her about how much her master valued and cherished her.

“Disciple greets Master.” Chi Jiuyu remained calm.

How could she panic now?

Bie Xuening stared at her for a moment; Chi Jiuyu remained unmoved.

“She’s about to start Foundation Establishment. Go guard her. After she completes it, take her with you to carry out this mission.”

As Bie Xuening lightly gestured, a streak of spiritual light flew into Chi Jiuyu’s third eye, and a stream of information unfolded within her.

Western Star Region, Chi Yu Star System, Chi Feng 47th Star System.

This is the coordinates.

All alien races on the third, fifth, and seventh planets of this star system have been confirmed in rebellion. This region lies under Sword Sect jurisdiction; according to the Sword Sect’s Star Region Management Code, they must be eradicated.

Her mission is to exterminate all alien races on the third and seventh planets.

Zhang Yunlu’s mission is to kill the alien king and the bio-weapon core on the fifth planet.

“Master, I might manage this mission, but even if Xiao Yunlu reaches Foundation Establishment, she still won’t—”

The alien king and bio-weapon core are equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator—don’t say Foundation Establishment, even Jin Dan can’t beat them.

Bie Xuening opened her palm; a radiant talisman engraved with the character “Sword” floated toward Chi Jiuyu.

“Carry my talisman and activate it—within this star system, all cultivators above Foundation Establishment will be suppressed.”

“Hmm… if it’s such a simple mission, why not send someone else?”

The Eastern, Southern, or Northern Star Regions would do.

She had zero desire to go to the Western Star Region.

“No.”

“...” Chi Jiuyu fell silent for a moment—she couldn’t avoid it after all. “Then I have one demand!”

“Speak.”

“You must reimburse me for the starship’s energy costs!”

“Agreed.” Bie Xuening answered bluntly. “Besides the starship energy, I’ll give you an additional one million contribution points for expenses.”

Huh? Is it really this generous?

Second update, one more to come.
