Chapter 223: Chapter 204: Couldn’t He Just Kill the Sect Leader?

The summit of Blood Sin Peak.

Yu Yunwei secretly watched the man sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff.

The young woman’s eyes were filled with worry.

A full three days had passed since the end of the combat selection tournament.

When the Sect Leader announced the Holy Fire Order mission, her Senior Brother had shown no expression.

After returning to the peak, he had simply sat cross-legged on the cliff’s edge with the Spirit-Collecting Blade resting on his legs, completely motionless.

To Yu Yunwei, her Senior Brother was surely tormented by indecision.

After all, Yu Yunwei knew about what had happened between her Senior Brother and Wangxin of Kongnian Temple.

She had heard from her Master that her Senior Brother had personally escorted Wangxin to Kongnian Temple back then.

He had even taken three of their Master’s saber strikes just to see Wangxin off safely!

Although her Senior Brother claimed that he and Wangxin walked different paths—one of Buddhism, one of demonism…

In reality, Wangxin was the person who had been by his side from the very beginning.

’How could Senior Brother possibly draw his blade against her…?’

At this thought, a sour feeling welled up in the young woman’s heart, and she pursed her thin lips tightly.

’It’s just my luck I met Senior Brother a little too late. Otherwise, what chance would Wangxin have ever had!’

“How did she get to him first?”

The more she thought about it, the more upset Yu Yunwei became.

“You’ve been staring at your Senior Brother for three days. Aren’t you tired?”

Just as Yu Yunwei was gazing at her Senior Brother, Blood Demon walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder with a smile.

“Master… please keep your voice down…” Yu Yunwei turned around, clasping her hands in front of her, and shot Blood Demon a reproachful glance.

“Oh, you silly girl.” Blood Demon sighed. “If you have something to say to your Senior Brother, just say it. What’s the use in just staring?”

Yu Yunwei lowered her head, a blush creeping across her cheeks. “Yun Wei… Yun Wei doesn’t know what to say…”

“…”

Blood Demon was speechless for a moment.

’How did the mischievous little girl who was always trying to harm people turn into such a prim and proper lady?’

’It’s all that boy Xiao Mo’s doing!’

“Forget it, forget it.” Blood Demon scratched her head. “It’s been three days. Your Senior Brother is about to have a Realm Breakthrough.”

“A Realm Breakthrough?”

As Yu Yunwei’s words fell, white clouds began to gather above Xiao Mo’s head. The Spirit-Collecting Blade on his lap trembled incessantly, and a thick Dao aura coiled around his body.

The next moment, the Dao aura shattered, transforming into gusts of crisp wind that swept across the mountaintop.

A dense Blood Evil Qi rose unceasingly from Xiao Mo, eventually forming a long, blood-red dragon that soared and roared in the sky.

The female disciples of Ten Thousand Flowers Peak watched the surging Blood Qi and couldn’t help but swallow, their throats feeling a little dry.

They knew it had to be Junior Brother Xiao from the nearby Blood Sin Peak having another Realm Breakthrough.

’That Junior Brother, really…’

’His Blood Qi is so vigorous, yet he never vents it. He just lets it build up. Isn’t he afraid of bursting?’

’And every time he breaks through, he causes such a huge commotion, just tempting everyone.’

Feeling the aura emanating from her Senior Brother,

Yu Yunwei’s mouth fell slightly agape.

’He… He’s reached Nascent Soul Realm Perfection!’

“Did you think your Senior Brother has been agonizing over Wangxin for the past three days?”

Blood Demon took a swig of wine.

“During the tournament, Xiao Mo was constantly testing his Saber Technique. Those two strikes against the Xia Family’s father and son, in particular, brought your Senior Brother a certain enlightenment. After returning, it was only natural for him to turn that realization into his own power.”

The strange phenomena in the sky gradually faded, and Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as he turned around, Xiao Mo saw Blood Demon and Yun Wei watching him from a short distance away.

Blood Demon stepped forward, appraised his aura, and nodded in satisfaction. “Nascent Soul Realm Perfection. Although it’s a little worse than I was back in the day, it’s not bad.”

“Congratulations, Senior Brother,” Yu Yunwei said happily. “You’re only eighteen, yet you already have one foot in the Jade Realm. Ascension will be just around the corner!”

Xiao Mo shook his head, his tone calm. “Nascent Soul is still Nascent Soul. I thought I could step into the Jade Realm in one go, but I was still lacking.”

“So?” Blood Demon asked.

“I think it might be time for me to leave the mountain,” Xiao Mo said seriously, looking at his Master and Junior Sister.

“…”

Hearing her Senior Brother say he was going to leave, Yu Yunwei’s heart skipped a beat.

“Mm.”

Blood Demon nodded.

“You really should get out and see the world. After all, staying in the Wandao Sect is pointless. The Wandao Sect’s current strength places it at the very bottom of the Ten Great Demon Sects.

Aside from you, the most talented person in the Wandao Sect is just that Xia Yu.

But in truth, this millennium is a ’bumper crop’ year for the Western Regions. The other major Demon Sects are also brimming with talent, and some are probably no worse than you, kid.”

“When are you leaving, Senior Brother?” Yu Yunwei asked, looking at him reluctantly.

“I’ll leave as soon as I pack my things,” Xiao Mo stated plainly.

“…” Yu Yunwei lowered her head, her small hands fidgeting with the hem of her skirt.

“So, are you going to bring back Wangxin’s head?” Blood Demon asked with a smile.

“Huh?”

Yu Yunwei looked up and stared blankly at her Master, not expecting her to be so direct.

’But thinking about it, Master and Senior Brother have always been straightforward with each other.’

“There’s no need. I can still become the Saint Heir without killing her,” Xiao Mo said.

Blood Demon was stunned for a second, then burst out laughing. “Hahaha, you kid! Alright then, go out there and make a name for yourself. Don’t you dare bring shame on my name.”

“You don’t have to tell me.” Xiao Mo nodded and looked at his junior sister. “Yun Wei, keep an eye on Blood Demon. Don’t let her drink too much.”

“Okay, Senior Brother!” Yu Yunwei nodded.

“I’m off.” Xiao Mo gripped his long saber, turned, and flew away from Blood Sin Peak.

As Xiao Mo’s figure gradually vanished over the horizon, Yu Yunwei kept watching, not averting her gaze until he was completely gone.

“Alright, stop looking. Are you going to stare until he comes back?” Blood Demon ruffled her hair. “But speaking of which, I thought you’d ask to go with him. I’m surprised you didn’t even mention it.”

“I can’t,” Yu Yunwei said, shaking her head.

“Why not?” Blood Demon asked.

“I’m only at the Golden Core Realm. The gap between my strength and Senior Brother’s is too wide. If I followed him, I would only be a distraction. Besides…”

Yu Yunwei looked at her Master with a slight smile.

“Senior Brother is much more sensible than you are, Master. I have to listen to him and keep a good eye on you.”

“You two…” Blood Demon scratched her head and turned back toward the courtyard, muttering as she walked, “Why does it feel like I didn’t take on disciples, but a new set of parents?”

“Master…” Yu Yunwei recalled what her Senior Brother had just said and called out to her.

“What is it?”

“Senior Brother said he can become the Saint Heir even without killing Wangxin. What did he mean by that?” Yu Yunwei asked.

“Silly girl.”

Blood Demon turned her head, the corners of her lips curling up.

“If someone competes with him for the Saint Heir position, he just has to kill them all, right?”

“Huh?” Yu Yunwei blinked. “What if the Sect Leader objects?”

“Same thing.”

Blood Demon said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

“He can just slaughter the Sect Leader, can’t he?”
