She forcefully kissed her nemesis before dying, and her character collapsed after being reborn.

Chapter 331 Events from Years Ago

"It's resolved? Over?"

The sect leader looked at the two people with little green smoke in front of him.

Completely bewildered.

What does that mean? The two of them teamed up to deal with the divided soul of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect Master?

Before he could finish his question, the white-robed elder beside him looked at the two of them with concern.

"Are you not hurt anywhere?"

"It's alright, Master. Qinghuan and I have both made significant breakthroughs. We've turned misfortune into blessing."

After Xu Nian finished speaking, the two people in front of her were both stunned.

Only then did he release his divine sense to carefully perceive the other party's condition.

It would have been better if they hadn't sensed it, but after they realized their current cultivation level...

The two of them were dumbfounded.

The sect leader even rubbed his eyes and looked at it again.

He no longer had much faith in his divine sense.

I have a feeling that something is wrong.

No matter how many times I look at them, the two people in front of me still have such exaggerated cultivation levels.

The woman is at the sixth level of the Daoist realm.

Although the man was only at the fifth level of the Void Refinement Realm, the terrifying aura he exuded was far stronger than that of a cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm.

Or even…

I feel like I'm almost the same as myself now!

What a joke!

This kid is only at the Void Refinement Realm right now!

"You, you people..."

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the sect leader seemed to remember what had just happened and asked with a strange expression.

"So the people who just used the Devouring Dao Essence technique were actually the two of you?"

"Yes, I suddenly learned it after seeing the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect use his technique."

You suddenly learned it?

A very niche language.

The sect leader recognized each of the characters individually, but when put together, he didn't quite understand.

What does it mean to suddenly learn something?

Is it possible to suddenly learn something else entirely?

Is it so magical?

Why didn't it happen so suddenly when I was cultivating my Dao heart and comprehending the essence of the Dao?

"Okay, okay, okay, as long as I'm not injured."

"OK."

"Junior sister, you take them back first, I still have some things to do."

Elder Xiao Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then frowned. "What's going on with you? You still have a lover here? Old man, I'll tell your Daoist partner when I get back."

"No, no..."

The sect leader was both amused and exasperated.

Waved his hand.

After hesitating for a moment, I still didn't say anything.

"You take them back first. I need to pay my respects to the senior who made the move."

Xu Nian was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

It turns out that the sect leader knew who the black-robed man who suddenly made a move was.

He was also a little curious.

Where did this person come from? It seems like she appeared right after Qinghuan and I were ambushed.

Even a powerful expert at the Dao Integration Realm wouldn't be able to directly tear through space from the Southern Region to reach this place.

Within the Southern Region, the sect leader can travel freely.

It's because he had already dealt with the dangers within the spatial rift.

It can be considered as opening up a path in the void.

You can tear through space at any time to reach wherever you want to go.

But it has already taken him over a hundred years to reach just the Southern Region.

The spatial rifts in the Northern Region are even more dangerous, and it would take at least three to five hundred years to fully open them.

Instead of wasting this time, you should focus on your spiritual practice.

The Southern Region is essentially the main base, and trips to the Northern Region are relatively infrequent.

This time, Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan came here to accept the mission and complete the commission.

They also thought that the protectors and sect leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect were hiding in the southern border.

They probably won't come to a place a million miles away.

Unexpectedly, the other party had exactly identified this idea and hid here.

If it weren't for that mysterious person's help, this situation would have been quite dangerous.

It's highly likely that you won't die.

But you will definitely get hurt.

In severe cases, it could even affect the foundation of one's cultivation.

"Please trouble the sect leader to thank that senior for me. Thank you for your help."

"Well, this person is actually from our Sword Sect lineage. How should I put it... well, we're somewhat related."

"what?"

Xu Nian looked over blankly, not quite understanding what it meant.

He wasn't the only one with that expression.

His master was the same.

I looked over blankly.

"How come I didn't know? When did our Sword Sect produce such a person? I've never even heard of him."

"Nonsense, you're not the sect leader. This is a secret only the sect leader can know!"

He watched as his junior sister clenched her fists and looked over with a blank expression.

The sect leader hurriedly began to speak in human language.

"Ahem, no, don't do it. Well, this matter was told to me by my grandmaster. He said that his master once cultivated the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions, but after reaching a high level, he couldn't break through because he hadn't severed his emotional ties with a woman. He then sacrificed his emotional meridians to cultivate the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions to its extreme..."

"Unfaithful man."

Before the sect leader could finish speaking, a certain holy son who was originally leaning against Xu Nian, practically hiding behind him, muttered something under his breath.

Xu Nian was both amused and exasperated.

This girl really has the nerve to say that.

If I remember correctly, there was someone in my past life who cultivated the Supreme Detachment of Emotions.

As if guessing what Xu Nian was thinking, Wu Qinghuan pinched his waist.

The sect leader smiled as he looked at his two disciples.

He then shook his head, seemingly with some emotion.

"I haven't finished yet. Actually, the reason that ancestor wanted to cultivate to the extreme and break through his realm was to go to the far north to find the Heavenly Spirit Jade Marrow so that his beloved could completely resolve the backlash of her physique. After that, he finally broke through and successfully retrieved the jade marrow, but he died and his cultivation dissipated. He passed away less than a month after bringing the jade marrow back."

Xu Nian listened, completely stunned.

He had never heard of such a thing before.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Why…

Hey, wait.

Xu Nian's pupils suddenly contracted.

Swallowing hard, she tentatively asked, "Could it be... that woman doesn't know about the death of that Sword Sect senior? Does she still think he cultivated the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions?"

"Hmm, I don't know."

The sect leader nodded.

The scene fell into silence.

None of them spoke.

The holy son muttered under his breath, "I take back what I just said..."

Such a person is certainly not a heartless person.

However… it might be somewhat painful for the other person.

I know nothing, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"So, the black-robed man who just saved us is that senior's Daoist partner?"

"Yes, she comprehended the Dao of the Mortal World and was already a Tribulation Transcending cultivator hundreds of years ago. However, she disliked fighting and preferred a more carefree life. She opened many shops in the surrounding markets and ancient cities, hoping to wait for the ancestor to change his mind and come down the mountain to meet her."

The sect leader paused for a moment after saying this.

He touched his head.

"What shop was it again? I've kind of forgotten..."

At this moment, Xu Nian's expression began to turn strange.

He looked completely surprised.

A figure suddenly appeared in my mind.

Wait, wait a minute.

Could it really be her?

Xu Nian slowly turned his head to look at Wu Qinghuan beside him, and found that his junior sister was also looking at him with a strange expression.

It's obvious that they all thought of that one person.

The more I hear this description, the more similar it seems.

Could it really be that person?

But, the shop she opened is just too...

What is the point of opening a shop like this...?

However, if you put it that way, it actually makes sense.

You can run into them anywhere.

Numerous shops have opened in the market area and within the ancient city.

Moreover, it's impossible to see through the other party's cultivation level.

I just thought he was an ordinary person.

Even from a distance, it can be sensed by the other party.

Even just now, I could have acted in time.

Nonsense, it's right in the nearby market, how could it not be timely?

No wonder the other person acted somewhat...close when they first met?

It's simply the elders showing affection to the younger generation.

Upon learning that Qinghuan and I were from the Sword Sect, they paid close attention to us.

Hey, wait.

But in terms of relationship, she can't possibly call me "older sister."

Isn't this a bit too young a term?

"That senior... really knows nothing?"

Xu Nian was thinking about what had happened before.

Suddenly, Wu Qinghuan muttered something under her breath.

None of them spoke.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

knowledge?

Still don't know?

Perhaps only she herself knows the answer.

"In short, don't tell anyone about this. Originally, only my grandmaster and I knew about it. Even my master didn't know."

"What do you mean? Your grandmaster told you, but not your master?"

"Of course, I'm much more unreliable than that old man, Master."

"You forced him to drink alcohol, didn't you? You said you wouldn't use spiritual power to neutralize it, and that you wanted to see who could last longer?"

"Nonsense! Nonsense! Why are you spreading rumors out of thin air, Junior Sister! You're ruining my reputation!"

The sect leader's face turned completely red.

Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan had somewhat strange expressions.

For a moment, the scene felt very familiar.

It seems like I've seen it somewhere.

Why does it feel like I'm watching myself argue?

Wait, could this be the tradition of Xiaoqingshan?

Oh no, the tradition of the Sword Sect?

"Alright, you guys go back first, I'm going to check on that senior."

"Ah."

Without further ado, the white-robed elder led his men away.

The sect leader's expression was complicated.

The figure flashes.

It appeared in the market.

Looking at the shops not far away, he slowed his pace.

I felt a little strange.

I wonder what kind of shop this senior runs.

Business seems to be doing pretty well.

I have visited this senior several times, but I have never been to her shop.

Now, looking at the people coming and going, they're all in pairs.

I don't even know what I'm selling.

Looking at the woman lying in the rocking chair not far away.

The sect leader became much more respectful.

The posture is very low.

"senior…"

"How is that person doing lately?"

The woman closed her eyes, placed her hands behind her head, and spoke calmly.

It was as if he was asking about something trivial.

"All is well, all is well, everything is fine, still in seclusion."

"Tsk, going into seclusion..."

"Yes, the Ancestor has been in seclusion and has not yet come out."

"How many years has it been? Hundreds of years, I wonder if he died in seclusion inside?"

"Cough cough, cough, this, how can this be?"

The sect leader was having a bit of a headache.

He chuckled twice.

The person in front of me is indeed related to the Sword Sect, and ostensibly runs a shop.

But in fact, he has already helped the elders and disciples of the Sword Sect many times.

They all came to my aid at crucial moments.

This doesn't match her dislike of conflict.

If she could, she would absolutely not get involved in such matters.

Only elders and disciples who knew the Sword Sect's identity would patiently help.

Otherwise, other sects wouldn't care.

"Send someone in to check on him, make sure he doesn't die inside."

"Ah, no, no..."

"Forget it, it's better that he's dead. He deserved to die."

He didn't know how to respond to that.

He opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

The woman didn't say anything.

They fell silent.

After a long while, the woman suddenly spoke, "Those two little fellows from your Sword Sect have excellent cultivation talent. In less than a year, they've already reached the Dao Integration Realm."

"Ah, indeed, I never expected two such prodigies to appear all at once."

"Your talent for cultivation is much better than it was back then. Oh, and your junior sister too."

"Forehead…"

The sect leader scratched his head.

I don't know how to respond to that.

If I remember correctly, this senior had met me when I was a child.

No sect leader of any immortal sect has witnessed the majesty of other cultivators.

More often than not, it's the younger generation seeing the respect and politeness of their elders.

Even more so, with extreme caution.

Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

For example, back then, when I was enveloping... oh no, when I asked my grandmaster about that old ancestor.

Now we know the relationship between these two people.

But now, one person believes that the other is still alive.

Little did they know that the other party had died hundreds of years ago.

Or rather, to die for oneself.

This is something that absolutely must not be told to anyone.

If I were to let something slip, I would become a sinner.

The sinners of the Sword Sect.

So, although I have only met this senior a few times over the past few hundred years.

But he was always very careful and cautious when he spoke.

It has always been said that the senior has gone into seclusion to cultivate and has not yet broken through, so he cannot leave the Sword Sect.

At first, the other party was dismissive or even annoyed.

Later on, it seems that they accepted it and gradually got used to it.

I've gotten used to living alone.

I've gotten used to living in the city center, in the old town, and the uncertainty of moving from one place to another every day.

I've gotten used to this feeling of freedom.

perhaps…

"Alright, let's go back. That brat from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect won't make a move again. He'll definitely behave himself for a while. Next time the two of them meet, we'll be able to deal with each other."

"Okay, sure."

"Don't even think about digging up their lair. If we fight to the death, they'll activate the Heavenly Demon Blood Sacrifice Array, which will cause a lot of trouble. So don't get involved."

"Eh…?"

The sect leader didn't quite understand what the other party meant.

I was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he understood.

Senior's intention is to keep the other party as a whetstone for those two monsters from Xiaoqingshan?

Let them handle it?

So you just stop caring about everything?

Hey, that's a great idea!

Now, one of the opponents is at the sixth level of the Dao Integration Realm, and the other is at the Void Refinement Realm, comparable to the Dao Integration Realm.

Both of them are incredibly freakish.

Think about what level I'm at, and what level my junior sister is at.

Let those two little perverts do it themselves.

Why are the older generation getting involved?

If there's nothing to do, it would be nice to just lie down.

Speaking of which, could we find some time to lure that kid to our main peak?

Let him sit in the position of sect leader.

Does this free you from your predicament?

His cultivation level at the Void Refinement Realm is still somewhat lacking, despite his formidable strength.

However, the level of understanding it demonstrates is insufficient.

It'll be about time before we reach the Dao!
