Delicate cries resounded out, and they reverberated endlessly within the secluded forest and the valley.
Along with the moan, everyone saw the space outside the Sacrificial Sacred Light of the Divine Realm distort. It was as if there were tens of thousands of illusory swords crisscrossing as a silhouette walked out. Her jade-like feet gently stepped on the air.
That beautiful figure was petite and pleasant. Her silver hair fell to her waist and fluttered in the windless air. Her jade-like face was covered with a grey veil, making it impossible to see her face clearly. However, just by looking at her graceful figure, one could imagine that she was a rare beauty in this world.
However, her eyes were filled with indifference, as if she had seen through the trifling matters of the mortal world. It wasn't something that could be obtained in a few decades or centuries.
She quietly stood in the clouds, looking extremely frail and delicate. There wasn't any violent Spiritual Energy flowing around her, which made her appear gentle. However, even the air seemed to have frozen, causing everyone to not dare to breathe loudly.
Boom!
When the silhouette appeared, the beam of light that was approaching Qin Shi inexplicably exploded on the spot. The Spiritual Energy was scattered like sand. Even Yuan Hao staggered a hundred meters back as he spat out a mouthful of crimson blood. He had suffered internal injuries from the shock.
The entire forest was instantly silent. Even Shi Feng didn't dare to act rashly before this.
"It's her!"
Even with Ying Wu's temperament, she inwardly exclaimed in admiration when she saw that silhouette.
"Elder Ying Wu, who is she?"
Ying Wu sucked in a cold breath and remained silent for a long time before she calmed herself down and softly said, "Her background isn't simple. She's the Sword Sect's Sect Master, Fang Qing."
"Who?"
Everyone suddenly froze as shock appeared in their eyes. "That woman is actually the Sword Sect's Sect Master?"
Who could have imagined that the Sword Sect's Sect Master would appear here?
In the Mortal World, she was an existence that could be ranked as one of the eight powerhouses.
With her strength, not to mention the Mortal World, even in the entire continent, she could be considered as a pinnacle powerhouse. However, this sort of person was usually elusive. Most of them were in closed-door cultivation. Even many of the pinnacle powerhouses present had only heard of her fame, but they had never seen her in person.
"Welcome, Sect Leader!"
Jian Qing, many elders, and disciples of Sword Sect bowed their heads in submission. Fang Qing's appearance caused them to heave sighs of relief, and his voice was very loud.
Fang Qing faintly smiled as she nodded her head towards everyone. Shortly after, her gaze shifted and converged on Qin Shi's neck. Her jade-like hand gently pulled a breeze, causing the dazzling sword necklace to slowly rise into the air, as if it had been summoned by something.
"Spirit of the Sword Sect, it's been a long time."
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, but he did not struggle. He knew that it was useless to struggle against an existence like Fang Qing, so he might as well behave.
The Sword Element Necklace fell into Fang Qing's hand. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes glazed over as she muttered, "It's been three thousand years …"
"Master, are all of these your instructions?"
Fang Qing closed her beautiful eyes as if she was recalling something painful. No one noticed that at the corner of her eyes, there was a silver tear stain.
Shortly after, she adjusted her emotions and slowly opened her eyes. Just like that, she stood aloof from the world. With a wave of her jade-like hand, the Spirit of the Sword Sect once again fell into Qin Shi's arms.
Qin Shi couldn't help but be stunned at this scene.
He originally thought that Fang Qing was going to take back the Spirit of the Sword Sect, but he didn't expect that she would return it to him.
"You're that Qin Shi?" Fang Qing looked at Qin Shi with interest and said indifferently.
Facing Fang Qing, Qin Shi felt an unprecedented pressure, especially when he heard the previous discussion. There was one word that attracted him, and that was … the World Realm.
"The World Realm … Is this the so-called Transcending Domain Realm?"
Qin Shi murmured in his heart. It was the first time he had seen it, but just from the scene where she suppressed everyone, the strength of the Transcending Domain Realm was indeed shocking.
He nodded respectfully, "Disciple Qin Shi greets the Sect Master."
"Haha, you're a smart little fellow."
Fang Qing nodded in satisfaction. Soon after, as if there was no one else in the surroundings, she said softly, "Since you've already become a disciple of my Sword Sect, come back with me."
Qin Shi was stunned when he heard this, but he wasn't in a hurry to agree. Instead, he turned around and looked at Qin Xue Xin. If he chose to leave with Fang Qing, he would definitely have to say goodbye to Qin Xue Xin again. However, the next time they would meet again was still a long time away, so the reluctance in his heart rose when he thought of this.
Qin Xue Xin was currently on a rock a thousand meters away. Snowflakes were still fluttering around her. Seeing that they would be separated again after so many years, her beautiful eyes were filled with reluctance. However, she also understood that going back with Fang Qing was the greatest guarantee for Qin Shi. There weren't many people on the mainland who could kill someone from Fang Qing's hands.
So, all the reluctance she had turned into protectiveness in the end. She only gently opened and closed her cherry lips, leaving a sign language to Qin Shi that only the two of them could understand.
"I'll wait for you. Come find me."
In an instant, Qin Shi's heartstrings were plucked. He wanted so much to break free from all his shackles and embrace the petite girl, never to be separated again.
However, he knew that he couldn't do that yet, so he nodded forcefully.
"Wait for me."
"Alright, let's go."
Seeing that the two of them had spoken to each other, Fang Qing smiled gently and signaled to Jian Qing and the others. All the disciples of the Sword Faction had gathered and were ready to return to the Sword Faction.
"You should follow me. You've been hiding outside for more than thirty years. It's time to go back to the Faction and accept your punishment," Fang Qing suddenly said as he glanced at Haoyue.
Haoyue was stunned for a moment, then he became ecstatic. Although Fang Qing had said that he would be punished, he knew that Fang Qing had already forgiven him if he allowed him to return to the Faction. He cupped his fists gratefully and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader!"
Fang Qing nodded indifferently and then turned around leisurely.
"Sect Leader Fang Qing, don't you think that you don't respect the Lands of Chaos?"
Seeing that Qin Shi was about to be taken away by Fang Qing, Shi Feng couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and shouted.
Fang Qing frowned and smiled. "Indeed, I don't respect you. Why? You still don't want to stop?
Haven't you learned your lesson? "
"He killed thousands of disciples of the Lands of Chaos. No matter what, he has to stay and give us an explanation."
"An explanation?"
Fang Qing sneered. "If you want an explanation, I'm afraid you're not qualified. Tell Yao Ming to come to me personally. I'll wait for him in the Sword Faction."
"You …!" Shi Feng's eyes widened.
"Brother, what should we do?"
Yuan Hao put his hand on his chest and asked painfully. It wasn't hard to tell how serious Fang Qing's injury was.
The corner of Shi Feng's mouth twitched. Compared to Fang Qing, they were too weak. They were like ants. The gap between the Domain Realm and the Realm Realm was so huge that ordinary people couldn't imagine it.
However, killing thousands of disciples was not a big deal. What was more important was how to explain to that place. For a moment, Shi Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Sect Leader Fang Qing, if you do this, don't blame us."
"You?" Fang Qing sneered. Her beautiful eyes didn't look serious at all.
Jian Qing narrowed his eyes, which were full of anger.
"Sect Leader, let me deal with them."
However, Fang Qing didn't give Jian Qing a chance. He stretched out his hand and said, "No, it's not necessary to waste time with them. Let me deal with them."
"You?"
Jian Qing was shocked. Even though he had been in the Sword Faction for almost a thousand years, he had never seen Fang Qing fight. Today, Fang Qing chose to take the initiative?
When he thought of this, he looked at Qin Shi and felt that something was amiss.
"Kid, not bad. You made the Sect Leader take the initiative to deal with you."
Yu Yue also saw through it. She couldn't help but tease Qin Shi, "It seems that the Sect Leader wants to treat you as a disciple in seclusion. Maybe you will be the Sword Faction's Sect Leader in the future. Why don't we make an agreement now?
What do you think? "
"Agreement?" Qin Shi looked at Yu Yue with a strange look.
Yu Yue shrugged and said, "Yeah. Look, a year ago, you used me to help you escape from the Chaotic Territory. If I hadn't been lucky enough to escape from Xing Moyuan, I would have been killed by you. It's a matter of life and death. It's not a small matter, right?
But look, I didn't argue with you. I even protected you. Shouldn't you be grateful to me? "
"I don't want anything in return. I just want you to remember to give me an official position after you get promoted in the Sword Faction. Of course, it has to be a position with real power. You can bribe me when you're free. Don't be like now. You gave me the position of Law Enforcement Elder. It's just a decoration. I don't get much money. I can't even earn back a year's worth of wine. Sometimes, I have to run out and do other things to barely make a living."
"…!"
When Qin Shi heard Feather Moon's complaint, he immediately felt unwell. He felt as though he had been deceived for no reason.
Fang Qing nodded indifferently. Then, she raised her jade-like hand. Her white and delicate skin suddenly shot out a sword light that was hundreds of meters long.
As the sword light approached, the three of them were shocked.
"Fang Qing, how dare you!
Do you really want to start a war between the two regions? "
Jian Qing was also a little nervous. If they were ordinary elders from the Chaotic Territory, perhaps Fang Qing would kill them. But Shi Feng and the other two had extraordinary identities. If they were killed so openly, the rift between the Sword Sect and the Chaotic Territory would be irreparable.
"Sect Master is really going to kill this time. Just what kind of monstrous genius is this kid to actually be able to make Sect Master protect him like this?" More and more Sword Sect disciples cast envious gazes towards Qin Shi.
Facing Shi Feng, Fang Qing said indifferently, "Don't you like to bully the weak?
Then I'll let you experience it for yourself. "
As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Qing's jade-like hand fell, and the sword light reached Shi Feng's chest in an instant. The tens of millions of people from the Eight Regions held their breaths. With Fang Qing's cultivation, if this attack hit Shi Feng, he would definitely die.
"Buzz!"
