Cui Yingxiu stood suspended in midair.

Her Green Rainbow Sword in her sleeve was constantly restless, wanting to slash out of the mountain gate, but in the end, she forcibly suppressed her rage.

Suddenly, another sword light landed beside her, revealing a Cultivator with white eyebrows, black hair, and an expressionless face.

"Greetings, Master."

Upon seeing it was the Heartless Sword—Luo Kongdong, Cui Yingxiu quickly bowed in salutation.

Even facing this desperate situation, Luo Kongdong remained indifferent, as though in his eyes, not only were other people’s lives trivial, but even his own life mattered little.

At this moment, he merely asked, "Do you have any regrets?"

"Regrets?"

Cui Yingxiu gave a bitter smile, "When I exterminated demons and eliminated evil in the past, did I ever regret? I only resent myself for being useless, unable to share the burden of the disgrace suffered by our sect."

Luo Kongdong was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "I have already asked the Sect Leader’s permission for us, master and disciple, to leave the mountain and seek the Creation Legacy!"

Cui Yingxiu responded with silence.

Of course, this was to atone for sins and, moreover, implied a sort of exile.

How dangerous was it outside the mountain gate?

Perhaps as soon as they left the mountain, they would be captured by Cui Yingying and fall into the hands of that witch, with a fate too gruesome to behold.

Alas, if they themselves did not venture out, it’s likely the sect would covertly force them to leave anyway.

To find the Primordial Spirit Legacy would be their slim chance of survival!

And if they couldn’t find it, dying at the hands of Cui Yingying could also be considered closure!

Such a disgrace, however, was not something to be openly discussed but had to be pursued covertly; otherwise, it would appear as though the Shushan Sword Sect was bowing to a witch!

"Willing to offer this body to the sword, to eliminate all the sorrows of the world!"

Cui Yingxiu let out a long howl, shouting, "Master... let us go!"

"My good disciple!"

A slight smile played at the corner of Luo Kongdong’s mouth, and two sword lights instantly flew out of the mountain gate.

...

Southern Wilderness.

Zhong Shenxiu looked at the Xuanhai Sect elders and suddenly felt tired, "Your meaning is... now that our sect’s strength has greatly increased, the conditions are ripe for us to venture deep into the Southern Wilderness and even attack the Taixu Sect in the Northern Territory to become the leading great sect in the Southern Wilderness?"

"Exactly, the sect has long planned to expand northward, and now with the Ancestor’s return and Wugen’s advancement to Golden Core, our strength has significantly increased."

Qingshi Zen Master and Xuan Ying said excitedly, "This is indeed the time to be aggressive."

Zhong Shenxiu was utterly speechless.

I, the Creation Ancestor, the patriarch of Outer Dao Primordial Spirit, now have many from Da Jing pleading desperately just to see me and be accepted as disciples.

Among several students, quite a few have reached great heights in Primordial Spirit Cultivation.

And now, you seriously discuss with me the strategy to attack a mere sect that doesn’t even have a Returning Elixir Ancestor?

In this moment, he suddenly felt a bit of exhaustion.

’The Ancestor’s heart is heavy, but the Ancestor can’t speak it out.’

Zhong Shenxiu waved his hand and then sighed again, "The useful disciples are still too few..."

Not to mention those like Liang Xiao, even that Xu Guo, if commanded casually by me, could single-handedly destroy the Taixu Sect, right?

Xuanhai Sect could easily dominate the entire Southern Wilderness.

Or maybe send Yu Tongzi, carrying the Poison Dragon Banner, and it’s likely he could set fire to the Taixu Mountain Gate too.

Alas, the three students I’ve left here are hardly promising.

Let’s not even start with Zhu Ling’er.

Even that Zhu Long’er and Liu Wugen got scared out of their wits when they saw the Great Sun Burning Body Yang God Method.

By now, there was still no progress.

"Indeed, the sense of vigilance in safety has faded; it demands pressure..."

After contemplating, Zhong Shenxiu said, "I have agreed to this matter. The Xuanhai Sect will immediately go to war with the Taixu Sect!"

"With the Ancestor here, stable as a stabilizing force, we are all reassured."

The cultivators of the Xuanhai Sect rejoiced greatly, "Our Xuanhai Sect will definitely become the number one sect in the Southern Wilderness!"

...

These celebratory individuals did not know the final trump card of the Xuanhai Sect’s Sect Leader.

That elusive Divine Dragon, Zhong Shenxiu, after issuing the order for war, slipped away from the sect to search the Southern Wilderness.

Lake Heart Island.

The lake spanned around a hundred li, boasting beautiful scenery and plentiful aquatic resources that sustained the local fishermen.

In the center of the lake, there was a small island shrouded in mist, protected by layer upon layer of defenses, a formation arranged by a Golden Core Ancestor that prevented ordinary fools from disturbing the tranquility.

Before long, two streaks of light, one yellow and one green, descended onto Lake Heart Island.

Within the lights were two female practitioners, one clothed in yellow and the other in green, both middle-aged and no longer young.

"Master!"

Huang Ying and Leng Yue landed on Lake Heart Island and saw a bamboo building in the center of the island. The bamboo building was seven zhang tall, its bamboo lush and dripping with vigor; faint Sword Qi seemed to cling to it.

With a creak,

the bamboo door opened, and the graceful figure of the Leng Yue Immortal silently appeared.

She was still as beautiful as ever, her cold, frosty face carrying a trace of heroism, and she exclaimed, "You still haven’t found any trace of that Peach Thief?"

"We are incompetent. For decades, there has been no sign of the thief..."

Huang Ying and Leng Yue’s faces were full of bitterness as they knelt down to admit their guilt.

Initially, the Daohua Ancestor had deceived them into stealing their sect’s secret techniques and impersonating their master, stealing the six orthodox methods of the Taixu Sect and even injuring the Sect Leader.

Afterward, no matter how the Leng Yue Immortal swore and pledged, she was regarded as an enemy by the Taixu Sect and fiercely hunted several times, driving them to this remote place to finally find refuge.

Over the years, the Leng Yue Immortal constantly thought about seeking revenge.

Alas... that Daohua Ancestor actually disappeared without a trace, leaving no information behind.

"Sigh... Stand up. I will not return to the sect unless the six methods are retrieved."

The Leng Yue Immortal sighed deeply, "Leaving the Taixu Sect has indeed been hard on you... With your qualifications, plus support from the sect, you might have hoped for Core Formation..."

She was a Core Formation Ancestor with a long life span, but her two disciples had not achieved Core Formation, leading to their aging appearance.

In the end, she might even have to see her two disciples off from this world first.

The sadness of cultivators could be no greater than this.

As the master and disciples were about to burst into tears, a wistful voice arose, "Such a scene truly makes one lament... Since ancient times, beauties lament the twilight of their lives, heroes should not see their hair turn white!"

Countless peach blossoms fluttered down, a manifestation of the Five Poison Peach Blossom Barrier treasure.

Among them, a figure appeared, making the Leng Yue Immortal grit her teeth in anger, "Thief, you still dare to appear before me?"

Her former flying sword, Cold Moon Hook, had been seized, but over the years, she had gathered materials and forged another flying sword.

However, this sword’s light was cluttered, and its material was far inferior to the one stolen by Zhong Shenxiu.

"Ha ha, I have come to make amends, why must the Immortal be angry?"

Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily, pointing a finger, and a torrent of toxic gas fell, instantly suppressing the three of them.

"Thief... your mana..." Leng Yue Immortal was horrified, "Am I... am I doomed never to get my revenge in this lifetime?"

"Immortal, your perspective is still too narrow. Why fixate only on me?" Zhong Shenxiu spread his hands, "I have traveled through Da Jing, and indeed found many treasures that I would like to offer as compensation to the Immortal."

Indeed, there were a few specially refined treasures, sure to counter Zhu Long’er and Liu Wugen, making them suffer a significant loss.

"Pah! I do not want your compensation!" Leng Yue Immortal shouted.

"Ha ha, Immortal, don’t speak so conclusively. I heard news that the Xuanhai Sect is about to go to war with the Taixu Sect. The Taixu Sect will likely suffer a great loss... If the Immortal takes this opportunity to act, perhaps you could achieve great merit and return to the sect!"
