Divine Brilliance

The green-dressed female frowned, her heart shook for a moment, it was filled with annoyance and unhappiness.

…This teen not only had unlimited light and endless darkness, but his martial arts and spirit merged too, the Sword Soul realm!

Why was it like this? If not for this kid why would she fall to such a level? She had severely miscalculated…

However, she didn’t regret her decision, her only mistake was that she wasn’t more vicious.

That green-dressed woman calmed down once more. Zhao Yanran smiled. “What is Yuanjing saying? As the Venerable of a world, I am naturally unfair and unbiased. Just now, I wanted to help but I just wasn’t in time…”

“Fair and unbiased? Do you remember my senior brother being restricted by you the moment he entered? You all allowed this Shenxiao from the Mysterious Cloud Sect to do whatever he wanted. Is this your so-called fairness?”

Lin Yuanjing laughed out loud, “If not for my sister’s personal disciple being skilled, he would have been killed by this Shenxiao and fall under his hand. This is what the four of you wanted, right?”

That old man sighed. “Fellow cultivator Yuanjing, does it have to be like this? We just couldn’t help out in time. I know your Common People’s Path still blames us for Xi Zi’s death. But only at the time, the six of us had no choice. There is no meaning if we continue this. Moreover, your Junior Nephew wasn’t harmed much today. As they say, if you treat one nicely, then they would do the same too, it’s good to leave people with some change sometimes…”

“I do indeed know about that, then why didn’t you do the same for my senior brother? Today, my junior nephew is indeed fine, but if I don’t warn you all, then what happens if my Common People’s Path disciples face such a matter again? Are you saying that they can only die?”

The old man frowned and wanted to argue once more. However, Li Yuankong’s calm voice sounded out, “Let me ask the four of you to give me an explanation…”

The last few words were flat and calm, it was filled with killing intent and determination that chilled the heart of whoever listened.

The green-dressed female’s brows rose up, she stopped explaining and laughed coldly. “Explain? Why should we? You’re really crazy. Unreasonable even, you’re just randomly speaking and you dare to treat all of us like we are guilty? I won’t argue with you about this matter anymore, you can leave!”

“You all have forgotten fear because you have power? That’s true… Ever since Senior Brother Xi Zi fell, the six of you have stopped fearing our Common People’s Path.”

Li Yuanjing laughed, “That’s good! Since you all are unwilling, then let me personally snatch it. It’s just the same!”

Apart from the monk, the others exchanged glances with one another, their eyes filled with wariness. The green-dressed female was careful and didn’t feel that she missed out anything.

The only exception was that Li Yuanjing had reached the End Realm and she couldn’t do anything to her.

Since this woman set up such a trap, then she definitely had a reason why she was confident. However, with that thing in hand, no matter what the others do, she didn’t need to fear anything.

She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and coldly looked at the teen still in the darkness.

It was best if they think of a solution to Zong Shou, they couldn’t let him live.

The moment such a thought rose up, the woman heard a weird sound that spread over.

Her head jolted upwards once more.

A thousand feet out, energy was being stabbed open. It was weak like a mosquito buzz, however, in her ears, it was like shocking thunder exploding out.

She exclaimed, instinctively flashing and leaving the spot. With one step, it caused the hundred thousand feet area to freeze.

However, it still didn’t stop the danger from getting close. It was extremely silent, her Spiritual Sense couldn’t feel anything. Until this moment, she still didn’t know what it was.

After scoffing, the woman waved her sleeves. Twelve jade-letter like celestial treasures flew out from her sleeves and roared around her.

However, in the next instant, shock appeared on her face as she hurriedly grabbed out with her hands. Suddenly, she pulled out an external strength from the main source of Heaven and Earth, unlimited and endless, vast and baseless, as it protected around her.

This was the power that one could make use of as the world’s Venerable. The source came from the deepest parts of the Cloud World, this meant that as long as the world didn’t get wiped out, then she wouldn’t die either.

This was why although they didn’t have treasures like the Mysterious Golden Life Book to extend their life, their lifespan were still several times that of other cultivators.

In just a thousandth of a moment, a golden light still managed to break through her protection, it was cutting easily like a hot knife through butter.

Even the source energy of the Cloud World could only cause it to slow down by a little.

The green-dressed woman was completely panicking at this moment, she also finally saw what attacked her looked. It was a golden needle.

In that very instant, she ‘saw’ the laws and grand path it had deep within.

‘Annihilation’, ‘Frost’, ‘Blazing Flame’, ‘Space’, ‘Instant’, ‘Invisible’, ‘Sharpness’…

With one eye she could easily recognize seven of them. There were also two grand paths which she had never seen nor heard of before.

“It’s the Nine Extreme Pinnacle Needle! Where did you get it from? You crazy witch…”

Her last two sentences were filled with hysterical intent. She instantly casted out a talisman in front of her body. She also anxiously said, “Fellow cultivators please aid me!”

The faces of the three of them all changed. However, a moment later, the teen laughed, the monk could only fall silent and was speechless.

That old man grabbed out, another sword light slashed down from the void towards this area.

“Lin Fanmeng…”

A sigh sounded out as the old man turned around, with a flick of his finger he struck the sword tip.

With where the sword light came from, it didn’t look like it was meant to attack him head-on. It quickly turned from real to illusionary, with a light touch, it disappeared in the void.

After this, he heard a light laugh from the distance.

Following which, there was a loud explosion. The talisman light and the needle clashed in front of the green-dressed woman, causing this small area to instantly collapse.

The aura was vast and extremely shocking, the sound still managed to spread through.

One could see that the space in the distance was falling apart. It even spread through the void and affected numerous layers.

However, when the talisman was completely destroyed, the golden needle dissipated.

Just as the green-dressed female heaved a sigh of relief, she looked at the monk and the teen in annoyance, her eyelids suddenly jumped up.

This was because she saw an even smaller golden light abruptly appear in front of her eyes.

“…A needle hidden inside a needle!”

Just as these words jumped up in her mind. She couldn’t react in time.

The needle stepped into the center of her brows.

All of a sudden, the old man was stunned, the teen’s face was ashen white. The monk didn’t keep silent any more and simply sighed. He had started to chant a few words.

It was the Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra, this was the incantations the Buddhist used for helping the soul to transcend. To be chanted by someone with such high Buddhist attainments as him, it would incur huge amounts of merit for the soul it was intended for…

If mortal souls would hear this, then they could be reborn. However, when really meritorious cultivators could manage to hear it, then they could solve the mysteries of birth and obtain the memories of their last life.

But… He knew that the woman he had spent so much time with had already completely fallen, her physical body and soul were wiped out, at this moment, there was no need to do what he did, yet he still did it.

After a few sentences through the incantation, the woman’s body had already started to turn into dust and dissipate.

Without any strength left to maintain, she was instantly ripped to pieces by the chaotic piece of land.

From everywhere around, they could hear Lin Yuanjing’s loud laughter.

“It is indeed a needle hidden within the needle! Since I knew that you could be that person’s chess piece, then why couldn’t I guess that he left you a body protecting method? How was the needle? I spent 3 years to develop this artifact, I hid a needle within the Nine Extreme Pinnacle Needle, tell me, does it feel good? Our Senior Brother’s thousands of years of blood debt is finally paid today…”

The voice was filled with both frenzy and happiness. The joy of revenge being completed was hidden within.

Although she knew that the green-dressed woman was already dead and couldn’t hear what she had to say, but she still said it with fervent excitement.

The teen’s face was still ashen white, upon seeing the monk still continuing his chant, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed. “Stop chanting! Since you didn’t help her then what is the point of being so fake and acting like this?”

The old man simply gazed over with a regretful expression. Just now… If the monk helped, then maybe the green-dressed woman might not have died.

The old man could only sigh out, he did have a reason which prevented him from doing so. However, he wasn’t willing to argue about this, he could only close his mouth and not speak.

Following after, the teen looked towards the void. “Now that Hanyue is dead, with fellow cultivator Yuanjing’s intentions, do you want to commit a great sin and leave the three of us here? Ten thousand years ago, we were loyal to our cause and had no choice. Today, it was because Hanyue was biased and had her own personal reasonings. It is indeed our fault, however, if you want an explanation, then we three will give one to you…”

Li Yuanjing laughed coldly when she heard this, however. the majority of the bone-chilling deep hatred and darkness within was gone.

“Since that’s the case, then the three of you… Please cut off one arm.”

The expression of the teen instantly turned dark and cold. The monk had a bitter expression whilst the old man was furious.

Just as the two were speaking, tens of thousands of miles out on the clouds, in an invisible celestial realm-like world…

Two people who were at the opposite sides were talking while looking on seriously. The younger looking one suddenly spoke up.

“It’s Hanyue! It seems like she has fallen!”

The other one was slightly older, but he didn’t seem like he was much over 40.

“It’s the Nine Extreme Pinnacle Needle! What an amazing weapon, I really underestimated her in the past. Hanyue really was too careless, she thought that with the talisman in her hands, no one could do anything to her. She deserved to die…”

After sighing slightly. “It should be Xi Zi’s matter from that year. I had already said it before that we were indeed a little overboard then! It’s impossible that the Common People’s Path wouldn’t come back to bite us for that! It was okay when their strength wasn’t enough. However, now that they have recovered most of their strength, they definitely won’t let us off!”

“Then what now? Amongst the 6 World Protectors, only 5 of us remains, we were unable to stop one End Realm expert. Yuanjing doesn’t look like someone who is willing to let things rest. Now that she grabbed an opportunity…”

“It’s okay! We can just bear with it. This evil demonic outer sect that Xi Zi has passed down won’t be able to do much! In this world, we are still the ones in charge. We can have that person fix this, because he started this matter, then he should be the one to solve it!”
