"System, what the hell is going on? Explain it to me clearly."

Ye Qianqian frowned. According to her deception plan, the Xuanyuan Sword should have been impossible for anyone to pick up once it appeared. Then, she would go to the Mu Lan Empire, pick up the Xuanyuan Sword to show off, fool the Mu Lan monarch, and incidentally scare the Yan Luo Empire silly.

But how could the Xuanyuan Sword end up in someone else's hands and cause such heavy casualties to the Jiama legion? It didn't make sense!

Fortunately, the Xuanyuan Sword still listened to her, otherwise, she would probably be nothing but dust.

"Ding"

"Host, please do not be angry. The reason the Xuanyuan Sword appeared in that young girl's hand is because that girl possesses a trace of bloodline, and this bloodline is very special. It triggered a resonance with the Xuanyuan Sword, which is why the Xuanyuan Sword actively sought out this girl."

"A special bloodline? Could it be connected to Great Emperor Xuanyuan?"

Ye Qianqian glanced at Mo Youyou in the distance, a hint of doubt arising. She then shook her head. What a joke, how could the Dou Qi Continent be connected to the Huaxia plane?

Unable to figure it out, she decided to put the matter aside for now. It was a crucial moment for deception, and she couldn't afford any delays. Millions of shock points were at stake every minute.

"Wh-what's going on?"

Mo Tianming was dumbfounded. The divine weapon that Mo Youyou always wielded with unrivaled prowess had lost all its power in front of this little girl. What was happening?

"Ancestor!" Old man Yun Shan knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, looking as wronged as a little bride.

"Ancestor, you've finally arrived! Your disciple thought... thought I would never see you again!"

This outburst of tears stunned the millions of soldiers on both sides on the spot. This little girl was the ancestor of the Misty Cloud Sect? No way!

"A man doesn't shed tears easily. What kind of behavior is this sniveling? Put away this disgraceful act. How can I rely on you to manage the world in the future?" Ye Qianqian said with disgust, kicking away the old man Yun Shan who was hugging her leg.

"Yes, Ancestor, your teachings are correct. Your disciple will stop crying." Yun Shan, for some reason, acted like a mischievous old man. He got up, sobbed a few times, and then stopped crying, leaving many speechless.

The dignified Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, a Dou Ancestor expert, was acting like a child in front of this little girl. Unbelievable!!!

"Where did you get this sword?" At this moment, Ye Qianqian suddenly unleashed her Conqueror's Haki. A kingly pressure of absolute dominance spread out in waves across the entire battlefield, terrifying millions of soldiers and making their legs go weak. She had harvested another large pile of shock points.

"Kill... kill this person! Youyou, hurry up, she's a bad person!" Mo Tianming commanded tremblingly.

This little girl was too mysterious, too terrifying. She had to be eliminated.

"But, Your Majesty..." Mo Youyou hesitated. This little sister in front of her was much younger than her. Was she really a bad person?

Previously, when Mo Youyou wielded the Xuanyuan Sword to kill people, it was only under Mo Tianming's instigation. Moreover, her mother, Murong Wan, had told her to obey her father. But was this little sister also a bad person? Mo Youyou was a little confused.

"There's no 'but.' Hurry up and do it!" Mo Tianming roared furiously. Ye Qianqian's appearance made him feel uneasy.

Mo Youyou nodded and swung the Xuanyuan Sword in her hand fiercely at Ye Qianqian.

"Ancestor, be careful! That sword is incredibly powerful!" Yun Shan, deeply aware of the Xuanyuan Sword's might, hurriedly shouted a warning.

Mo Tianming and Yan Luo Cang sneered. Caution was useless. Under the Xuanyuan Sword, everyone was like a clay figurine or a rotten dog. Although they didn't know what had happened just now, this time, they were sure to slay everything.

But what happened next shocked everyone. The immensely powerful divine sword showed no reaction at all.

Mo Youyou swung the sword several times with all her might, but there was still no fluctuation from it.

"Ding"

Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 10,000 shock points from Yun Shan.

Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 50,000 shock points from Mo Tianming.

Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 3,000 shock points from Mo Youyou.

Congratulations to the Host for obtaining...

The soldiers of the Mu Lan Empire were dumbfounded. The divine sword was actually not working. What was going on?

"Come, come"

Ye Qianqian pretended to gesture towards the sword in Mo Youyou's hand. The Xuanyuan Sword suddenly seemed to obey the command, flying rapidly from the other party's hand and landing in Ye Qianqian's grasp.

This miraculous scene once again shocked the entire audience.

Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Ye Qianqian casually bluffed, "Are you all very curious why this sword is so obedient? It's because this sword was forged by me back then."

Boom!

These boastful words shocked everyone's minds, making them buzz.

This sword was actually forged by this little girl?

Then what kind of existence was this little girl?

While others were lost in thought, Ye Qianqian, possessed by her acting skills, covered her eyes with her left hand, secretly took out eye drops with her right hand, and squeezed them into her eyes, crying:

"Xiyue, I never imagined you would seal your own soul within the sword just to see your master one more time, willingly becoming this sword spirit."

After crying for a while, a miraculous scene unfolded. The Xuanyuan Sword suddenly emitted a blue light, and the soul of a beautiful young girl emerged from the sword.

This girl was clad in ice-blue armor, exuding a heroic aura, with a hint of pride in her brows. She knelt before Ye Qianqian.

"Disciple Ye Xiyue pays respects to Master."

This startled everyone again.

In fact, this was a deception plan Ye Qianqian had meticulously prepared a few days ago. She had exchanged a holographic projector from the system mall and even written the lines, just waiting to shock these people.

Indeed, this bluffing tactic achieved an excellent effect, with millions of people falling for it.

"Master, I never thought I'd see you again. Yue is now content," the maiden's voice in the projection was desolate, yet tinged with a hint of joy.

Ye Qianqian's tone was icy as she angrily asked, "How did you fall back then? Although your aptitude was average among my many disciples, with your peak Dou God strength, no one could have stopped you if you wanted to escape. Why did something like this happen?"

Everyone present was once again stunned, feeling as if they had misheard.

Peak Dou God?

Average aptitude?

Master-disciple relationship?

This...

Ye Xiyue stuck out her tongue and said, "When I saw Master in trouble, I thought you were killed, Master, and I impulsively wanted to avenge you. Although I killed over a hundred Dou Gods, I was exhausted in the end, and then I..."

"And then you kicked the bucket, right?" Ye Qianqian rolled her eyes, exasperated, and sighed, "When I took you as a disciple, I warned you to use your brain more and not do foolish things impulsively. But you completely ignored my words. Look at you now!"

"Yes, disciple knows her mistake."

Ye Qianqian and the holographic projection conversed, back and forth, completely ignoring the people around them. However, the millions of people nearby listened with cold sweat streaming down their faces, earning a massive amount of shock points.

"Ah! Time is running out, Master. Disciple must leave now. Yue hopes Master will take good care of herself. If there is a next life, Yue still wants to be Master's disciple."

With that, the holographic projection slowly faded, and the maiden knelt, kowtowed a few times, and then vanished without a trace.

"Ding"

The Divine Weapon Experience Card time was up.

With a system prompt, the Xuanyuan Sacred Sword that had awed all directions also disappeared.

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 200,000,000 shock points from everyone.

"This..."

Mu Lan Monarch Mo Tianming wet his pants. This little girl in front of him was too terrifying. The Xuanyuan Sword was a weapon she forged, and she once had a disciple at the peak Great Emperor level. What kind of monster was this little girl?

"Alright," Ye Qianqian channeled her Dou Qi, her feet treading on the void as she walked step by step into the clouds. Looking down at the enemy army before her, she shouted to intimidate them, "To deal with you, I only need to use one-tenth of my strength."

"What, this powerful expert is going to kill us!"

In an instant, the armies of Mu Lan and Yan Luo erupted in chaos, while the soldiers of Jiama and Chuyun cheered.

Terror spread through the enemy ranks. Many couldn't withstand the pressure and began to flee, fearing Ye Qianqian would crush them into powder in an instant.

This flight was no small matter. With one person leading the way, it instantly created a chain reaction, and almost all the soldiers scrambled to escape.

"You people, to be able to die by my hand is also your honor," Ye Qianqian roared, "Behold my Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Honored, Myriad Swords Return to Origin, Buddha's Palm, Northern Darkness Divine Skill's One Yang Finger!"

Mo Tianming and Yan Luo Cang's faces turned pale. Just hearing the names of these techniques was enough to show their might. Who would have thought they would provoke such a divine being, and one who intended to kill them with a single move? What could they do?

"I'm about to make my move, ah!" Ye Qianqian shouted again.

Mo Tianming and Yan Luo Cang's souls nearly leaped out of their bodies. They immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowing heavily more than ten times, their foreheads bleeding, and wailed.

"Esteemed senior, please calm your anger. We know we were wrong! We are willing to surrender! Please quickly withdraw your divine powers!"
