Chapter 47

“You are no longer fit to be the Sect Master of the Ancient Tomb Sect.”

“You have no qualification to keep the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!”

Li Li Mochou said, showing no courtesy at all.

Her goal all along had been to get her hands on the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

Of course, whether it was the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra that was attractive, the position of Ancient Tomb Sect Master, or perhaps envy of Xiaolongnü,

only Li Li Mochou herself knew.

“Impossible!”

Xiaolongnü said indifferently.

Although the techniques she had learned had long since surpassed the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra,

this was what her Master had taught her, and she would not hand it over to Li Li Mochou, who had betrayed the Ancient Tomb Sect.

This was a firm conviction in Xiaolongnü’s heart.

“Then don’t blame me for being impolite!” After saying this, Li Li Mochou flicked her hand.

Five Ice Soul Silver Needles flew toward Xiaolongnü’s vital points.

Xiaolongnü drew her sword, blocked the hidden weapons cleanly and efficiently, and then flashed forward, appearing before Li Li Mochou at extreme speed.

The sword in her hand was placed right against Li Li Mochou’s neck.

The speed was so fast that it took no more than a single breath from start to finish.

Li Li Mochou’s expression changed drastically.

In the instant they had just exchanged blows, she had sensed the aura of a Grandmaster from Xiaolongnü.

Was it an illusion?

“You… you actually… actually have already stepped into the Grandmaster realm!”

Li Li Mochou widened her eyes and asked in disbelief.

She could not accept it, and even less could she believe it.

How could this be possible?

Clearly, the last time they met, Xiaolongnü had only just entered the Master realm.

In just a few years, she had actually stepped into the Grandmaster realm.

Is this really something that talent alone can achieve?

One must know that their grand-master, Lin Lin Chaoying, was already several decades old when she became a Grandmaster.

How old was Xiaolongnü? Twenty-one or twenty-two!

Doesn’t this mean that Xiaolongnü is very likely to become a Land Immortal?

Thinking of this, Li Li Mochou began to feel a chill of fear.

“Senior Sister, for the sake of our shared sect, I will not kill you this time.”

“But next time, I will not show mercy!”

Xiaolongnü said coldly.

Having said that, Xiaolongnü sheathed her sword and left with Huang Rong.

Li Li Mochou collapsed onto the ground, muttering to herself.

“Why, why, why on earth is this happening?”

“Why is she so lucky, while I end up in such a state?”

“Why was Master so biased, passing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra to her, letting her become a Grandmaster, while I have been stuck at the late Master stage for years?”

“It’s unfair, it’s unfair, it’s so unfair!”

As she spoke, Li Li Mochou began to shout up at the sky.

She still thought that Xiaolongnü had become a Grandmaster because she had learned the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

“No, I must obtain the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!”

Li Li Mochou’s eyes turned blood-red.

……

Great Qin, Ninth Prince’s Mansion.

Jin Luo Yi suddenly appeared before Ying Ying Ziyu.

“Reporting to Master, the Ming Cult Leader Yang Yang Dingtian has passed away!”

——

Seeking comments, flowers, evaluation tickets, and reviews! ===== CHAPTER 83 =====

Upon hearing this news, Ying Ying Ziyu paused his tea-drinking motion.

“Tell me the specific cause of death.”

Ying Ying Ziyu said indifferently.

Although the original work contains how Yang Yang Dingtian died,

this comprehensive martial arts world has many variables.

Ying Ying Ziyu wanted to confirm if there were any discrepancies with what he knew.

Jin Luo Yi immediately began to explain.

Ying Ying Ziyu confirmed there was no difference from what he knew.

“Yang Yang Dingtian was also a hero of his generation.”

“He led the Ming Cult for over twenty years, governed it to great prosperity, refused the Persian Ming Cult’s order to surrender to the Master Yuan, and held the grand ambition of driving out the barbarians.”

“Yet, because of his wife’s betrayal,”

“he ended up dying from qi deviation.”

“I’m afraid the Ming Cult is already in a state of total chaos now.”

Ying Ying Ziyu said indifferently.

Although the Ming Cult has no Land Immortals and cannot be considered a top-tier power in the Nine Provinces,

it did have Yang Yang Dingtian, a peak Grandmaster who was only half a step away from being a Land Immortal.

It also had the Left and Right Envoys and the Four Great Dharma Kings—six Grandmasters in total.

As well as the Five Wanderers, who were five Masters.

Among first-rate powers, the Ming Cult could certainly rank at the forefront.

“Yang Yang Dingtian was also deeply devoted to love.”

“Master, rest assured, this servant will never betray you.”

“As long as Master needs it, even if you need me to die, I will not have the slightest hesitation.”

Jiang Jiang Yuyan said with a solemn vow.

Given her feelings for Ying Ying Ziyu, these words were absolutely not spoken lightly.

As long as Ying Ying Ziyu told her to die, she would never ask for the reason; she would only willingly go to her death.

As for the various schemes of those old geezers, Jiang Jiang Yuyan did not care at all.

In any case, those old geezers were no match for her now, and those even further behind were currently too busy with their own affairs to manage things here.

“Rest assured, since you have followed me, I will not let you down.”

“Never mind death; as long as I am here, I will not let you get hurt.”

Ying Ying Ziyu smiled and flicked Jiang Jiang Yuyan’s nose.

With his current strength, even if those hidden sects of the Nine Provinces emerged, he would not be afraid.

Jiang Jiang Yuyan blushed and nodded obediently.

“With that girl Yin Yin Susu there, the Ming Cult probably won’t be in chaos for too long.”

Yin Yin Susu’s image appeared in Ying Ying Ziyu’s mind.

This was a remarkable woman of peerless beauty, boundless wit, and a nature both righteous and evil.

If Ying Ying Ziyu hadn’t been more skilled back then and subdued Yin Yin Susu, there was no telling what tricks she might have thought up to torment him later.

“This matter with the Ming Cult feels very suspicious no matter how you look at it.”

“You all should investigate it thoroughly.”

“Especially check if Cheng Kun and the Master Yuan Dynasty have had any secret dealings.”
