Remould the Glory of Sword Art
Chapter 78 - 78 70 I Not Much of an Ability Second Update!_2

78: Chapter 70: I, Not Much of an Ability (Second Update!)_2 78: Chapter 70: I, Not Much of an Ability (Second Update!)_2 Xie Xuanyi had likely already guessed what had happened.

“Was it the Chu Family?”

Xie Xuanyi spoke calmly, his voice void of any fluctuations.

“…Yes.”

This Baihua Valley disciple, named Yuan Yi, spoke sorrowfully, “They never planned to abide by the rules set previously.

Many of my senior sisters were killed.”

She wasn’t lying.

Xie Xuanyi could see that this young girl, still in the Foundation Establishment Realm, had her Heart Lake nearly shattered, a testament to the severe blow she had suffered.

Though outwardly unmoved, he inwardly sighed lightly.

One must be ever so cautious when walking in the world of cultivation.

No matter what, one must not lack a guarded heart.

Being capable of such a basic mistake, Baihua Valley had indeed been too lenient in their teachings over the years.

“Stand behind me.”

Xie Xuanyi lifted his head, his gaze piercing beyond Yuan Yi into the gloomy depths further back, where footsteps were sounding, and not just one set.

“Thank you, sir.”

Gratitude filled Yuan Yi’s eyes as she cautiously supported herself against the wall as she moved.

Xie Xuanyi walked forward.

As they brushed shoulders, Xie Xuanyi suddenly asked, “Do you have a sword?”

Yuan Yi paused for a moment.

Sword?

If she remembered correctly, during the previous banquet, Xie Zhen had struck out at members of the Chu Family in the Cave Heaven Realm using his fists.

Everyone had speculated that Xie Zhen was a Body Refining Practitioner.

Seeking a sword from her now, could it be that this young Mr.

Xie also practiced the Sword Dao?

With this thought, Yuan Yi hesitated for a moment, suddenly recalling the teaching etched into her heart.

The first lesson her teacher had taught after she joined Baihua Valley was that a Sword Cultivator’s sword was the most precious thing in the world.

A man dies, a sword breaks.

“…Yes.” Yuan Yi took a deep breath, reaching towards her waist.

“No need to draw it now.”

Xie Xuanyi spoke softly, “It’s good that you have a sword.

Take good care of yourself, and take good care of the sword as well.”

Yuan Yi froze.

The darkness was shattered by firelight, as someone ignited a talisman at the far end, illuminating dozens of feet of the cavern’s ceiling.

This talisman, like an imperial canopy, enveloped them both.

“Xie Zhen?

It really is you.”

A cold, mocking laugh arose on the other end of the talisman.

A gaunt ghost, flanked by a dozen or so attendants of the Chu Family garbed in grey, stood behind.

Xie Xuanyi halted his advance, maintaining a distance of about twenty yards from this group.

He smiled at the gaunt ghost and spoke softly, “Where in life do we not meet?

This is fate.”

“You and I indeed have fate,”

the gaunt ghost replied with a sneer, “But dear Mr.

Xie, I am even more fated with that young lady behind you.”

Xie Xuanyi glanced back at Yuan Yi.

The young girl was trembling with fear, no longer daring to look directly at the Chu Family attendants.

“Tsk tsk,”

the gaunt ghost chuckled upon seeing her state.

He tossed a round object, which rolled bumpily along, stopping beside Xie Xuanyi.

“Young lady, take a look at this.

Does it look familiar?”

With a thud,

“Sister Chunling…”

Yuan Yi collapsed to the ground, her face ashen, eyes filled with terror.

It was a human head.

Bloodied and with a ghastly expression.

Xie Xuanyi furrowed his brow, recognizing the owner of the head as one of the ten people he had shared drinks with at the previous banquet, a leader from Baihua Valley in the Cave Heaven Realm.

The Cave Heaven Realm, dead just like that?

“Hahaha.”

The gaunt ghost crouched down, taking interest in the terrified girl and reassuringly said in a loud voice, “Don’t worry, you’ll soon be joining her.”

The next moment,

a whooshing sound pierced the air.

Xie Xuanyi instantly appeared in front of the gaunt ghost.

“…?”

The gaunt ghost looked up, his expression bewildered.

Then came a loud bang!

He couldn’t react in time as his jaw was struck by a knee, sending him high into the air and crashing heavily against a stone wall.

Bouncing repeatedly three or four times before finally coming to a halt.

“???”

The Chu Family attendants, jovial just a moment ago, went dead silent.

None of them had seen clearly how Xie Zhen had moved; they only felt a blur, and then he was before them.

Xie Xuanyi stood before a group of people.

He took a quick count.

Including the gaunt ghost, there were thirteen in total.

The presence of one man was so overwhelming that it suffocated the thirteen of them.

“Gentlemen, I assume you have almost finished killing the Bairhua Valley cultivators…”

Xie Xuanyi spoke softly, his voice echoing in the vast space.

“Who among you has not stained their hands with fresh blood?”

With this question from Xie Xuanyi, the group of Chu Family retainers looked at each other.

From afar, a muffled cough was heard.

Having been thrown into the stone wall, embedding his half body in it, the skinny ghost struggled to rise.

But just as he lifted his head, he saw that ghostly figure again.

Xie Xuanyi reappeared in front of the skinny ghost and, without hesitation, lifted his foot and stomped down hard!

With a “boom”!

Dust splattered everywhere!!

The skinny ghost’s head was heavily stomped into the stone wall.

This extremely violent scene deeply shocked the thirteen Chu Family cultivators present.

Including Yuan Yi.

All of them stared blankly at this scene.

The skinny ghost’s limbs were still outside the wall, but his head was deeply embedded—

“I’ll ask again, whose hands are clean and have not touched the blood of Baihua Valley?”

The voice of Xie Xuanyi echoed once more.

This question indeed elicited a response.

“I…

I didn’t take action; I am innocent.”

Among the Chu Family retainers, a short Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator spoke up weakly.

He had always hidden at the very back of the crowd, only daring to show himself now.

It was nothing but a judgment of the situation.

He could see who was stronger and could guess what would happen next.

“Good.”

Xie Xuanyi nodded and looked approvingly at the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator who spoke first, “Only this one?”

A silence ensued.

Perhaps it was because of the impactful nature of Xie Xuanyi’s previous actions.

After a moment’s pause, no second person spoke up.

“You can dispose of him first.”

Xie Xuanyi said quietly, “You all staked your lives to fight the enemy just now in the bloody battle with Baihua Valley, while he did not lift a finger…

What use is there in keeping such a traitor?”

This second question completely stunned the person who had spoken.

“Xie Zhen!

You are shameless!”

The Foundation Establishment cultivator turned to run but was caught by the clothes by his peers.

The next moment, someone kicked him to the ground.

Soon, a bloody scene unfolded once again…

Yuan Yi stared blankly at the scene before her.

The once loud voice of cursing gradually turned into pleas for mercy, then weakened, and finally disappeared.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who was surrounded and subdued by the crowd.

Finally, turned into a pool of blood that spread to her knees.

Yuan Yi silently stepped back a few steps, desperately holding her beloved senior sister’s head in her arms.

She realized something was wrong.

These people…

These evil spirits.

They were not mere Chu Family retainers, after all.

“Just as a leopard can’t change its spots, you don’t seem capable of much, but indeed you kill efficiently and decisively,” Xie Xuanyi said with interest, looking at the scene.

“You came from the South Border, right?”

A silence followed.

Those Chu Family retainers gradually changed their looks when they looked at Xie Xuanyi.

Becoming colder and more sinister.

Their murderous intents were no longer hidden…

Clearly, Xie Xuanyi had guessed right.

“From the moment I boarded the Pohaio, I felt something was off.

Where did the You Hai King get such a ‘wild’ bunch of people?”

Xie Xuanyi smiled, “With the Chu Family’s resources, finding a batch of ‘Death Soldiers’ shouldn’t be difficult, but you all, do you really look like ‘Death Soldiers’?”

With that said.

Xie Xuanyi disdainfully glanced at the skinny ghost embedded in the stone wall.

The flesh Buddha, the skinny ghost, the old crone, the young child.

These four were simply too “strange.”

Compared to them, Chu Man seemed like a cultivator genuinely cultivated by the Chu Family.

Now the truth comes to light, these so-called Chu Family retainers.

Were essentially “Evil Cultivators” recruited from the South Border.

All along disguised, and only revealing themselves upon entering the Secret Realm.

This was why Baihua Valley suffered such heavy losses.

The righteousness upheld by orthodox sects meant nothing in front of the South Border cultivators…

The young disciples of Baihua Valley, who had never crossed hands with South Border cultivators, were bound to suffer greatly.

During life-and-death struggles, even cultivators of the same realm could perish!

This was why Chunling, the Grotto Heaven Realm cultivator and Yuan Yi’s senior sister, had met such a tragic end.

“Now that we have all revealed our true natures, there’s no need to hide anything anymore.”

Xie Xuanyi dusted off the dust from his clothes and spoke with bowed head, “To be honest, I, Xuanyi, am not very capable either, only good at killing.”

“But…

I can assure you,”

He raised his head and said with a smile, “Today, none of you here will leave with an intact corpse.”

…
