Qiong Xiao, the Elder Sister, Had Actually Become a Maidservant

Inside the formation space, killing intent ran rampant.

Bi Xiao held the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, and the mana of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal erupted from her without reservation, transforming into a tangible storm that swept in all directions.

Her beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with towering fury and grim resolve as they locked fiercely onto the indifferent man before her.

Make her a maidservant?

That was even more humiliating than killing her!

Her master was Saint Tongtian. She, Bi Xiao, had been an immortal maiden from birth, an elite disciple of the Interception Sect. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?

Even if she died, she would never become another's servant girl!

"Libertine! Die!"

With an angry cry, Bi Xiao could no longer suppress the killing intent in her heart. With a flick of her wrist, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors were about to transform into two World-Destroying Flood Dragons and shred the man before her into pieces.

However, just as the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors buzzed and were about to fly from her hand—

A beautiful figure flashed into view like a ghost, blocking her path.

That figure was so familiar, and that aura so close to her heart.

Bi Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted as she blurted out, "Third Sister?"

The newcomer was none other than her own younger sister, Qiong Xiao.

Qiong Xiao wore an anxious expression as she spread her arms wide, shielding Lin Feng as stubbornly as a mother hen protecting her chicks, shaking her head repeatedly at Bi Xiao.

"Second Sister, you mustn't!" Qiong Xiao's voice carried both a trace of pleading and an unquestionable resolve. "Do not be disrespectful to Master!"

Master?

BOOM!

Those two words exploded in Bi Xiao's mind like divine thunder from the Ninth Heaven.

The rage on her face instantly froze, replaced by utter astonishment and disbelief.

Her eyes widened as she stared fixedly at her younger sister, as though seeing her for the first time.

"Third Sister... you... what did you call him?" Bi Xiao's voice trembled, every word seeming to exhaust all her strength.

Facing Bi Xiao's nearly murderous gaze, Qiong Xiao bit her lip, yet did not yield in the slightest. Extremely clearly, she repeated, word by word, "Master."

It was over.

Bi Xiao felt the sky spin and the earth turn. At This Moment, her entire worldview crumbled and shattered.

Her most beloved third sister—the innocent, kind younger sister in her eyes, untouched by worldly affairs—had actually... actually called a man Master?

How was that possible?!

Bi Xiao's gaze passed over Qiong Xiao's shoulder and fixed fiercely upon the man behind her, who had remained Calm and Light from Beginning to End.

Lin Feng had not even changed his posture. He still stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a faintly mocking smile on his lips, his eyes as though he were watching a farce that had nothing to do with him.

An indescribable surge of fury and heartache instantly drowned Bi Xiao's reason.

Pointing at Lin Feng, she shrieked hoarsely at Qiong Xiao, her voice trembling, "Third Sister, have you gone mad?! You really... you really became his maidservant?"

"Why? What exactly did he do to you? Did he use some demonic art to control you? Tell me! I'll kill him right now and avenge you!"

At this moment, Bi Xiao would rather believe that her younger sister had been coerced or controlled than accept that she had done this willingly.

She could not accept that her younger sister would bow and scrape before another.

This was not only an insult to Qiong Xiao, but an insult to the three sisters and to the entire Interception Sect!

Looking at her second sister, who appeared to have gone mad, a trace of helplessness and heartache flashed through Qiong Xiao's eyes.

She knew that unless her second sister witnessed Master's great power with her own eyes, any explanation would be futile.

"Second Sister, calm down."

Qiong Xiao did not explain any further. She merely let out a deep sigh, then turned and respectfully bowed to Lin Feng.

That gesture once again pierced Bi Xiao's heart like a sharp thorn.

"You..." Bi Xiao trembled from rage, nearly unable to speak.

Qiong Xiao ignored her. Straightening up, she slowly turned back to look at her second sister, her gaze carrying a calmness and confidence Bi Xiao had never seen before.

"Second Sister, watch carefully."

As her words fell, Qiong Xiao imitated Lin Feng's earlier utterly casual manner. She raised one slender jade finger and lightly pointed at the churning sea in the distance.

There was no Mana Fluctuation.

No runes flashed.

The gesture was Understated, casual to the extreme.

Bi Xiao was stunned by Qiong Xiao's inexplicable action, and even the fury in her heart stalled.

What was she doing?

However, the Next Second—

A sudden change erupted!

Rumble—!

The void above the stretch of sea Qiong Xiao had pointed at abruptly twisted!

Immediately afterward, boundless heaven-and-earth spiritual energy seemed to have received some supreme decree, wildly converging from all directions!

One after another, incredibly profound golden patterns—ten thousand times more intricate than any array rune Bi Xiao had ever seen—sprang into existence from nothingness, rapidly weaving, outlining, and reforming through the air!

In almost an instant, an exquisite grand array gleaming with brilliant golden light and radiating endless majesty appeared out of thin air above the sea!

The great array enveloped a thousand-mile radius. Space shifted within it, killing intent lurked in the shadows, and the forces of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind faintly circulated through it, emanating a terrifying aura that could suppress all things and seal away everything!

A trapping array!

And a top-tier trapping array of such a high grade that Bi Xiao could not see through it at all!

Bi Xiao was completely dumbfounded.

She stared blankly at the great array, her mind utterly empty.

Th-this... was set up by her third sister?

How was that possible?!

Although the Three Sisters were all proficient in arrays, Qiong Xiao's attainments in formations had always been about on par with hers.

To set up an array of such scale and grade, even if she were given ample time and materials, would take several hundred years—and the chance of success would still be extremely low.

But Now, Qiong Xiao had merely... casually moved a finger?

Just as Bi Xiao's heart and mind were shaken to the core in utter disbelief, an enraged roar rose from the distant seabed.

Roar!

A gigantic sea beast, as massive as a mountain, its entire body covered in pitch-black scales and a single horn growing from its head, burst from the deep sea!

The beast's aura was formidable. It was clearly a primordial alien species whose cultivation had reached the Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!

It seemed to have merely been passing through when the suddenly appearing array disturbed it. Now, it furiously launched itself against the array, stirring up towering waves.

Yet the seemingly fragile array light barrier did not budge in the slightest beneath its impact.

Instead, golden light flashed within the array, and countless golden chains condensed from the power of laws appeared from nothingness. Like a Heavenly Net and Earthly Web, they instantly bound that Grand Unity Golden Immortal sea beast tightly!

No matter how the beast struggled or roared, it could not break free by even a bit. In the end, it was trapped firmly at the center of the array, unable to move, its eyes filled with fear and despair.

Silence.

The Entire World seemed to have fallen silent.

Bi Xiao stood frozen in place. The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors in her hand had somehow already dropped to her side. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were wide as she stared fixedly at the great array that toyed with a Grand Unity Golden Immortal in the palm of its hand, then looked at her calm-faced third sister.

In Her Mind, there was only a deafening roar.

Forming an array with one finger, instantly trapping a Grand Unity Golden Immortal...

What kind of terrifying attainment in formations was that?

Even Senior Disciple Duobao, famed for his arrays among their master's disciples, absolutely could not accomplish this so Understatedly!

When had her third sister... become so powerful?

Just as Bi Xiao's Worldview was thoroughly overturned and she began doubting her very life, Qiong Xiao's calm voice, carrying a trace of pride, drifted over. Like the final straw, it completely crushed Bi Xiao's pride.

"This is what Master bestowed upon me."

"One ten-thousandth of it."
