Cuiping Mountain's Destruction

Cuiping Mountain's Destruction

A hundred thousand li from Cuiping Mountain stood an immortal mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.

The clouds shimmered in seven colors, constantly shifting. It was truly a sight unlike anything in the mortal world.

Chayi Sect was located on that mountain!

The sect leader, Fairy Caiyi, had iridescent eyes and wore a plain-colored long dress. Her features were beautiful, and she seemed serene and otherworldly. She quietly pruned the Seven-Colored Cloud Brocade Flower on the table before her. A female cultivator in pink robes at the Qi Gathering Realm knelt in front of her.

"Are you Gao Yuzhu?" Fairy Caiyi asked calmly.

The female cultivator in pink robes hurriedly replied, "Yes, this disciple is Gao Yuzhu. I beg the sect leader to show me mercy!"

With a sharp snip, Fairy Caiyi cut off the Seven-Colored Cloud Brocade Flower. The blossom and its stem withered in an instant.

"The soul lamps of Xie Yurou and her two disciples have gone out. Among the Seven-Colored Clothes under my command, one of the yellow robes is vacant. Are you willing to take the yellow robe?" Fairy Caiyi asked calmly.

Gao Yuzhu was overjoyed. She kowtowed and said, "This disciple is willing!"

"Sect leader, you mustn't! She has only just joined the sect. If she becomes one of the Seven-Colored Clothes, what of the other pink-robed disciples who have been here much longer?" A streak of purple light descended and transformed into a female cultivator in purple robes, who spoke urgently.

Fairy Caiyi did not address her objection. She said calmly, "For days now, not a hint of yellow has appeared among the clouds shrouding the mountain. The Seven-Colored Clothes of Chayi Sect should be one body!"

With that, Fairy Caiyi pointed, sending a ray of yellow light into Gao Yuzhu's body.

Gao Yuzhu's aura kept rising. The yellow light seeped into her soul, which ascended into her Sea of Consciousness. With a boom, it condensed into a Divine Soul.

Contemplation Realm!

Gao Yuzhu had suddenly reached the Contemplation Realm!

"Go. You've become the yellow robe and taken Xie Yurou's place. You should avenge her."

As Fairy Caiyi spoke, she glanced at the female cultivator in purple robes and said, "The sisters of Chayi Sect should stand united. Only then will others be unable to look down on us. You should help her. Don't tarnish the name of Chayi Sect's Seven-Colored Clothes!"

After speaking, Fairy Caiyi vanished.

Gao Yuzhu reined in her aura. Her pink robes turned yellow, and she held a Flying Shuttle in her hand. "Sister, the sect leader said we sisters should stand as one. Please help me settle Sister Xie's matter. Let's go together!"

The female cultivator in purple robes watched Gao Yuzhu's feigned sincerity but did not dare say much.

After all, Fairy Caiyi had just issued that warning. The female cultivator in purple robes had no choice but to grit her teeth and leave the mountain gate with Gao Yuzhu.

Who could have guessed that Gao Yuzhu was so shrewd and manipulative? Using Fairy Caiyi's words as leverage, she spoke of the Seven-Colored Clothes standing as one and managed to gather every single one of the sect's Contemplation Realm cultivators.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue-green, blue, and purple—the seven female cultivators of the Seven-Colored Clothes, all at the Contemplation Realm. Whether sincere or not, they were cornered by the words of Gao Yuzhu, their newly appointed yellow robe, and followed her out of the mountain gate.

Following the aura of Xie Yurou's soul lamp, the seven female cultivators searched their way to Cuiping Mountain.

"It's here!"

"Sister Xie died on this mountain!"

"Sisters, attack at once! Avenge Sister Xie and her two disciples. Don't let the enemy escape!"

Gao Yuzhu shouted, striking first. The Flying Shuttle in her hand rose into the air, shimmering with yellow light.

Immediately afterward, six more Flying Shuttles, each glowing a different color, rose into the air as well.

The seven streaks of light intertwined and crashed down onto Cuiping Mountain.

Though the Seven-Colored Clothes of Chayi Sect had all reached the Contemplation Realm with help from the Supernatural Ability of Fairy Caiyi, a Great Cultivator at the Spirit Condensation Realm, each of them might not have been very powerful on her own.

But together, the seven were not to be underestimated.

As their Magic Tools rained down, they immediately wrecked Cuiping Mountain's spiritual energy.

Song Yu and Wang Xiu were cultivating in the temple when the commotion jolted them awake. They rushed outside and circulated their magic power to shield the temple.

"Cultivators who practice poison aren't good people. Even if they're only at the Qi Gathering Realm and couldn't have hurt Sister Xie, she died here, so they must have been her accomplices. Kill them too!"

Gao Yuzhu shouted orders, sending her Flying Shuttle Magic Tool charging at them.

Song Yu and Wang Xiu had only recently received Chen Ming's Magic Art. Though they had grown stronger, they were still Qi Gathering Realm cultivators and had no hope of resisting.

In an instant, the Flying Shuttle tore them to pieces!

With no one left to protect it, the temple was reduced to dust beneath the seven Flying Shuttles' bombardment.

"Wretches! You dare destroy my sanctuary!"

Chen Ming arrived on the mountain just as it happened. By the time he saw what was going on, it was already too late to stop them.

"Song Yu! Wang Xiu!"

Grinding his teeth, Chen Ming chanted a spell and first gathered the souls of Song Yu and Wang Xiu. Their bodies had been torn apart by the Flying Shuttle, leaving nothing for him to collect.

He looked up and saw the seven Flying Shuttles suspended in the air.

"So Chayi Sect has come for revenge!"

Chen Ming saw what was happening clearly and had no desire to waste words with the female cultivators of Chayi Sect.

Now Cuiping Mountain's spiritual energy had been utterly destroyed, leaving it a useless wasteland. The temple was gone, and his two Registered Disciples had been reduced to nothing.

Had he arrived any later, even their souls might have been ground away.

Mist billowed behind Chen Ming, turning into a cloud of poisonous qi. Dense swarms of insects burst from within and surged toward the female cultivators of Chayi Sect.

"What are those things? They're disgusting!"

"Sister Xie must have died to this fiend's tricks!"

"Sisters, join forces and kill him!"

The seven female cultivators of Chayi Sect shouted as the lights of their suspended Flying Shuttles intertwined, blocking the poisonous insects Chen Ming had released.

"Hmph!"

Chen Ming sneered. The insects spat poison into the air, corroding the Flying Shuttles until they hissed and smoked.

"The Contemplation Realm cultivators of Chayi Sect all rely on Fairy Caiyi's Supernatural Ability. Their Divine Souls are unstable, so we can take them down one at a time!"

Situ Yuelan controlled the Bronze Mirror as it flew out from Chen Ming's sleeve. It gathered a stream of Yin Cold Qi and immobilized a female cultivator in green robes.

Chen Ming circulated his magic power. Poisonous Smoke and insects intercepted the seven Flying Shuttles in midair, preventing them from turning back to protect their masters.

Azure light shot from his left eye; golden flames burst from his right.

The two Supernatural Abilities struck at once, holding back the female cultivators in purple and red robes.

The remaining four female cultivators tried to rush to their aid, but Chen Ming brought out a Magic Sword, which intercepted one of the female cultivators in green robes.

"That Magic Sword looks awfully familiar. It must have been transformed from Sister Xie's Flying Shuttle. The fiend must have killed her!"

Gao Yuzhu, in yellow robes, had a Flying Shuttle just like Xie Yurou's. She immediately guessed the truth.

"Hmm?"

Hearing her voice, Situ Yuelan sensed something at once.

"I've found you without even trying. Are you Gao Yuzhu?"

Gao Yuzhu was startled to hear someone call her by name.

She turned around and saw a Bronze Mirror. A woman in the mirror smiled warmly at her, and Gao Yuzhu fell under a Dharma Incantation.

A mass of resentment and karmic sin flew out of the mirror and coiled around Gao Yuzhu.

"Ah!"

Gao Yuzhu screamed and fell from the air. She had only just reached the Contemplation Realm; she had formed her Divine Soul with the aid of a Supernatural Ability, not through her own cultivation, and had not had time to stabilize it.

Now that she had fallen under Situ Yuelan's spell, there was no way to break free.

In Gao Yuzhu's mind, scenes of the Gao Family's misdeeds and the slaughter that had wiped them out kept appearing.

Her Divine Soul was defiled by the resentment and karmic sin. Her Sea of Consciousness shattered, and her head burst apart with a boom. That was how she died.
