Chapter 801: The Rogue General Heishi Hei Louxi

Suicide or draw your sword?

The youth on the Wang Zuo asks with his sword.

Boundless fear arose in the hearts of all the handmaidens; many frantically contacted the outside world, activating hidden moves prepared in secret, having prepared for this day for many years.

Yet, the message stones sank into the sea without a trace.

Not a single response.

The promises, oaths, and Dao contracts of the many Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjuns of the past now seemed all empty, drifting ever farther away.

"Follow me, kill him!"

"You have cultivated the Dao to this point; do you not even dare to fight and struggle?"

Jin Jin Yuzhen straightened her body, her pale and slender jade hand drawing her Dao weapon flying sword.

It was a teardrop the size of a fist, with sharp golden threads radiating from its center, profound and boundless, secretly aligning with the mystery of metal generating water.

The method of refining a Dao weapon flying sword varies from person to person.

Her flying sword was clearly refined to a profound depth; she had grasped the essence of the Dao classic "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Wind, Rain, Thunder, Lightning, Yang." Her talent and combat cultivation were commendable; otherwise, she could not have advanced to Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun amidst such hardships.

"Hahaha, he is merely a Nascent Soul; so are we!"

"From my Qi Refining stage, through Foundation Establishment, to Jin Dan, I have cut through thorns and brambles, slaying powerful enemies time and again; when have I ever feared?"

Another Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun laughed heartily, utterly unrestrained.

She stood up, her hair dancing wildly, revealing a voluptuous body covered in scars. Intense lightning sword qi seeped out bit by bit, crackling with electric sparks.

The Lightning Handmaiden!

Shh-shh-shh...

The sound of autumn leaves blown away by the wind: a golden domain spread out, with withered yellow leaf sword qi, fields of plump wheat, and the fragrance of rice flowers overflowing...

An autumn scene, various scenes intricate and complete, surpassing the others by a large margin, nearly reaching the standard of the Blazing Sun Sword Disciples of the Darifa Qingse Jianzong.

Just one step away, and she could claim the title of Heavenly Prodigy.

The Autumn Handmaiden, Xia Yuan.

She was a loose cultivator from within the Darifa Qingse Jianzong's territory. Originally intending to join the Darifa Qingse Jianzong, by chance she had vaguely sensed the plot of Ran Gu Master Dinghai Zhenjun and other Darifa Qingse Jianzong Nascent Souls using humans to nourish swords with Blazing Sun Spirit Copper, and thus fled quickly to the Zhengmo Alliance's territory.

After becoming a Nascent Soul, faced with the recruitment attempts of Darifa Qingse Jianzong Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjuns, she agreed without hesitation and took many substantive actions.

For instance, she secretly constructed a Darifa Qingse Jianzong teleportation array in the Master Tushan Handmaiden Group's Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting; once the timing was ripe, it would be activated immediately to teleport Darifa Qingse Jianzong experts to the scene, accomplishing a great merit.

At this moment, she touched the teleportation array with her divine sense, but there was no response; her heart sank.

"Daoist Xia,"

"You are very good."

Jiang Ding nodded.

He looked at this beautiful woman in a graceful palace robe; between her brows and eyes seemed to lie a faint sorrow, perfectly fitting the autumn atmosphere. She had made rapid progress in cultivating the "Nine Dao Classics of Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Wind, Rain, Thunder, Lightning, and Yang," and long ago succeeded Shang Yun, who died in battle, becoming the Autumn Handmaiden.

"Kill!"

At the same time, accompanied by a delicate cry, a domain of goose-feather snow descending in a flurry fell from the sky; every snowflake was composed of strands of sword qi, forming an endless realm that froze all things.

The Winter Snow Handmaiden.

The four Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjuns, knowing they could not survive, drew their swords and stepped forward.

Almost instinctively, they formed a military array among themselves; their respective domains extended outward, merging to form a composite domain of autumn rain, winter snow, and pervasive lightning, instantly amplifying their power several times over.

No deliberate practice was needed; the domains naturally tended to complement each other.

This composite domain extended outward, reaching toward some Jin Dan cultivators who had pledged allegiance, then toward the Xunfeng Handmaiden General Heishi Hei Louxi and two other handmaidens, seeking even greater power.

In private, the nine handmaidens had once joined forces; the power they unleashed made them secretly startled, believing that even facing a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, they would not be too fearful.

Suddenly,

the spreading four composite domains encountered an obstacle; they were not accepted and were rejected outward.

"You?"

Jin Jin Yuzhen was shocked and enraged, looking at the Xunfeng Handmaiden General Heishi Hei Louxi and the other two with disbelief.

Are the three of you mad?

Master Tushan clearly intends to kill you!

After cultivating for hundreds of years, experiencing countless life-and-death dangers, and enduring days and nights of effort and despair, you barely advanced to Nascent Soul.

Enjoying a lifespan of twelve hundred years, with a bright future right before your eyes.

You would just give up and let others slaughter you?

Or do you three, having been raised by Master Tushan since childhood, deserve leniency?

That is impossible!

Jin Jin Yuzhen instantly discarded this speculation.

General Heishi Hei Louxi was from a collateral branch of the General Heishi family; the origins of the other two handmaidens were different—one from the Eastern Sea, the other from the grasslands of the Darifa Dharma Sect—but none had ever contacted Master Tushan; this was beyond doubt.

"My Lord,"

General Heishi Hei Louxi ignored them, holding a pitch-black Xunfeng flying sword, making no attempt to hide her wariness, and asked softly, "Do I have any guilt?"

"What guilt?"

"What happened, where, and when?"

She spoke softly, tactful and gentle, radiating a strong mature feminine charm.

Jiang Ding fell silent.

This was a woman whose loyalty was below thirty.

She was from a collateral branch of the General Heishi family, bearing deep family imprints; given the chance, she would immediately rebuild the General Heishi family; this was beyond doubt.

"None."

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

"What?!!"

Everyone stared in shock at General Heishi Hei Louxi, the Xunfeng maid, especially Chun Chun Jian, the Chun maid, and Shang Gong, the Xia maid, their eyes wide open.

How is this possible?

Even they, the most direct of the direct lineage, upon suddenly grasping vast amounts of heavenly treasures and mastering powerful Nascent Soul power, could not help but become restless.

How could a mere Jin Dan from the General Heishi branch, notorious for its bad deeds, achieve such a thing?

Is it that kind of...?

Many maids suspected, but quickly dismissed the thought from their hearts; it was completely impossible.

Jiang Ding gazed at this General Heishi branch member before him.

Indeed, there was none.

This woman's loyalty was extremely low.

However, she had indeed committed no act violating the Master Tushan military laws; there were some... no, there were extremely many things that skirted the edge.

Her study of the Master Tushan laws was precise to the extreme; many things were done almost by stepping right on the line, legally ambiguous.

"Really?!"

"In that case, that is excellent."

"I thank my Lord."

General Heishi Hei Louxi smiled charmingly, retracted her flying sword, moved far away from Jin Jin Yuzhen and the other maids, stood at a distance, and maintained an expression of looking straight ahead without glancing aside.

"General Heishi Hei Louxi..."

Jin Jin Yuzhen and the others looked at her coldly.

General Heishi Hei Louxi snorted, subtly revealing a look of mockery.

Regarding the Master Tushan Master Dinghai Zhenjun, she had spent decades, bit by bit, studying all his words, deeds, and intelligence.

Finally, she drew one conclusion.

As long as she did not violate the Master Tushan military laws he established, nothing would happen.

Therefore, over these years, she had always kept this in mind, never stepping across the Lei Chi even once; which things could be done and which could only be regretfully refused were all counted.

Unlike these few fools, who had easily used up everything.

All her preparations were for the moment of breaking through to Nascent Soul, and for Master Tushan's possible devouring.

Now, she had successfully survived the Nascent Soul tribulation.

Naturally, she would be cautious upon cautious; at the very least, she would wait a hundred years, observe for a long time, and formulate a detailed plan before considering major matters.

Bearing the weight of the state is just like this.

This is not something the young generation can understand.

"I pay my respects to my Lord."

"My Lord,"

Two more maids appeared: one was a woman with a charming smile, gentle and soft, whose body constantly emitted a warm, glowing light that made people feel very fond of her.

The other was a tall woman with a stern expression, whose body was faintly surrounded by Lei Ting light; she bowed slightly in greeting and did not appear very fearful.

The Lei Ting maid and the True Yang maid!

"Enough, you two, withdraw."

Jiang Ding waved his hand impatiently: "Make up ten times the owed heavenly treasures; once the war settles, report for a ten-year imprisonment."

Unlike General Heishi Hei Louxi, who constantly skirted the line and could be called the Zhang San of the Northern Plains, these two committed small faults constantly but never committed major crimes.

There were no errors in principle; they had rejected all overtures from the Great Sun Qingse Jianzong, the Zhengmo Alliance, and others.

In contrast, greed for wealth, leaving early, skipping training... and so on, these continued incessantly, yet no one dared to manage them; these faults had always persisted.
