Sword Qi Division

"What are you up to, Fellow Daoist Bai?" Venerable Spirit Butterfly asked, puzzled.

Soft Feather and Liu Jianyi looked at Song Shuhang curiously.

Song Shuhang rubbed his temples. He thought for a moment and suddenly a possibility occurred to him—could it be that the 'one-time use Song Shuhang 1S' version that Venerable White left on the <Sword Formula> scroll had malfunctioned? Could it be that the '1S Version' failed to bring the 'Master' from the secret chamber, and instead sent Venerable White 'piu~~' flying away?

But... the One-Time Song Shuhang 1S Version was created by Venerable White himself. He could have easily stopped the '1S Version' from running halfway through, right? Or did Venerable White choose to fly there because he didn't want to waste the opportunity?

"Senior Song, what game is Venerable White playing?" Soft Feather asked curiously.

"I'm not entirely sure either," Song Shuhang. "Perhaps, Venerable White went to arrest someone? The one we had in the Chu Household's secret chamber."

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Bai is also interested in that little fellow? In that case, we'd better hurry. I'm also very eager to thoroughly study that little fellow; his spatial teleportation is quite interesting," Venerable Spirit Butterfly laughed.

--Lighting a candle for that 'gentleman' would surely attract the attention of two Venerable; one could probably die without regrets.

"By the way, Senior Spirit Butterfly, what brings you to the Void Sword Sect?" Song Shuhang asked.

He had previously thought that the Venerable had joined up with Soft Feather and the other seniors, but he hadn't expected them to come to the Void Sword Sect.

Upon hearing this question, Liu Jianyi chuckled dryly.

Then I briefly explained the situation to Song Shuhang:

Not long ago, Liu Jianyi volunteered to go after school—cough, after the Immortal Severing Platform Battle —to beat up those two Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperors who were helping the Void Sword Sect.

After beating up the two Spirit Emperors and taking photos, Liu Jianyi returned to the Immortal Severing Platform.

However, a minor accident occurred halfway through the journey.

Thirty Fourth-Grade 'Sea Urchin Warrior' roared and soared into the sky to block his way—probably because of the 'Sea Urchin Slayer Mark' on Liu Jianyi?

It's one thing if the Sea Urchin Warrior come charging in; they're all Fourth-Grade- rank Sea Urchin Warrior. With a little effort, Liu Jianyi can still take them all down.

However, besides their racial trait of 'always seeking revenge,' the Sea Urchin Warrior, thanks to their 'twenty years of compulsory education,' have all maxed out their 'taunting skills.'

After making contact with Liu Jianyi, the Sea Urchin Warrior began shouting, "You audacious bastard, how dare you kill Sea Urchin Warrior!", "Kneel down obediently and cut off your head to apologize!", "Otherwise, we will kill your whole family!", "Not only will we kill your whole family, but we will also slaughter your entire sect!", "Everyone related to you will die!"

Liu Jianyi sighed silently, preparing to unleash his Fifth-Grade strength to wipe out this group of Sea Urchin Warrior.

But before he could even make a move, fiery red Spirit Butterfly appeared out of thin air beside the thirty Sea Urchin Warrior.

These Spirit Butterfly gently touched the Sea Urchin Warrior... and the numerous Sea Urchin Warrior transformed into clusters of fireworks, exploding in the sky with dazzling and brilliant light.

Then, Venerable Spirit Butterfly, with a stern face, stepped out from the void. Beside him Soft Feather, who was laughing happily.

Although Liu Jianyi was a lazybones, he was someone the Venerable Spirit Butterfly had raised from childhood. While the Venerable was constantly annoyed by Liu Jianyi's laziness, Venerable always treated him like family.

The Sea Urchin Warrior kept hurling threats like "I'll kill your whole family," "I'll slaughter your entire sect," and "Everyone connected to you must die," which infuriated Venerable Spirit Butterfly.

Twice in one day, someone yelled at me, "I'm going to kill your whole family"... Venerable Spirit Butterfly really wouldn't mind crushing these Sea Urchin Warriors to death.

So.

Venerable Spirit Butterfly simply led Liu Jianyi and Soft Feather, following the trail of the Sea Urchin Warrior, all the way to the sky above the Void Sword Sect.

Upon hearing this, Song Shuhang secretly wiped away a bead of sweat—he had a feeling that it was truly remarkable that the Sea Urchin Warrior had survived to this day without being wiped out.

Is it because Sea Urchin Warrior have an exceptionally high reproductive rate, laying eggs ten times a year, producing a hundred eggs per clutch, and having a survival rate of over 90%?

At this moment, Soft Feather suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Senior Song, Senior Song, when Venerable White flew away just now, was it the power of the 'Disposable Meteor Sword'?"

Soft Feather's focus is always so unexpected.

"This isn't a 'Disposable Meteor Sword.' Disposable Meteor Sword should be even more thrilling than this," Song Shuhang replied. Even when Senior Su Clan’s Seven was Spiral Ascension, he screamed like a banshee!

"What was that thing that Senior White flew away called?" Soft Feather looked at Song Shuhang with her bright, watery eyes, filled with endless curiosity.

"It should be called the 1S Version, right?" Song Shuhang chuckled dryly—as for the full name, he would never say it even if you beat him to death.

"That's awesome!" Soft Feather exclaimed. "I really want to try the 'Disposable Meteor Sword' once!"

Venerable Spirit Butterfly couldn't help but smile and say to his daughter, "Soft Feather, I've figured out the principle behind the Disposable Meteor Sword. When we return to Spirit Butterfly Island, I'll get you a flying sword with similar functions."

"Okay, okay," Soft Feather said. "However, I still want to play with Senior White's 'Disposable Meteor Sword.' When I meet Senior White again later, I must ask him to give me a 'gift'. Everyone in the group is having a great time flying, but my gift didn't arrive on time, which is a real shame."

The corner of Venerable Spirit Butterfly's mouth twitched.

Song Shuhang was both amused and exasperated. The 'Disposable Meteor Sword' series developed by Venerable White was designed with a punitive purpose in mind. If Soft Feather really treated it as a toy and had a lot of fun with it, he wondered what Senior White would think.

Holy crap, thinking about it that way, Song Shuhang actually felt a surprising sense of anticipation.

Ahem, wait a minute, Miss Soft Feather has somehow managed to steer the conversation completely off course.

He came to the Void Sword Sect find out how it was doing now.

Have the Sea Urchin Warrior really started slaughtering members of the Void Sword Sect?

Thinking of this, Song Shuhang climbed to the edge of the clouds and cautiously looked down—the clouds didn't even have any railings, it felt so unsafe. One day when he could Sword Flight, he would definitely get a flying sword the size of a door, with railings on all sides, in front and behind, and even above! Just thinking about it made him feel incredibly safe.

After glancing towards the location of the Void Sword Sect, Song Shuhang frowned.

The entire Void Sword Sect was shrouded in a thick layer of fog, making it impossible to see what was inside. This thick fog reminded him of the bewildering fog that had enveloped the Chu Household Grounds.

Song Shuhang asked, "Senior Spirit Butterfly, have the Sea Urchin Warrior begun their attack on the 'Void Sword Sect'?"

"Yes, we've already broken in. The fog appeared suddenly, and many disciples of the Void Sword Sect fell unconscious, allowing the Sea Urchin Warrior to take advantage and kill them. However, some disciples of the Void Sword Sect noticed in time and took measures. They are currently fighting the Sea Urchin Warrior in the fog," Venerable Spirit Butterfly replied.

"The war has already begun? Senior Spirit Butterfly, aren't you going to make a move?" Song Shuhang asked curiously. Wasn't the Venerable going to wipe out all the Sea Urchin Warrior?

"I'll make my move after the Void Sword Sect and the Sea Urchin Warrior have finished their fight," Venerable Spirit Butterfly replied.

With the Venerable's strength, why would he need to wait for the Sea Urchin Warrior and the Void Sword Sect to weaken each other to kill them?

Song Shuhang was puzzled for a moment, but soon he thought of something— the Void Sword Sect, in a way, was the 'enemy' of Soft Feather's friend Chu Chunying!

As expected, Venerable Spirit Butterfly continued, "Young friend Shuhang, I have some connections with the Chu Household; Soft Feather also has a good relationship with a young lady from the Chu Household. However, the Void Sword Sect is an adversary of the Chu Household. Therefore, it's already quite good that I could remain a bystander when they were attacked. So... I absolutely will not intervene to help them prematurely. I am the Spirit Butterfly Daoist, known for my meticulousness!"

By the end, Venerable Spirit Butterfly looked smug.

Song Shuhang: "..."

Senior, being meticulous and calculating is not a compliment. Are you sure it's okay for you to be so smug?

Song Shuhang peeked out again and looked down at the Void Sword Sect, which was shrouded in mist.

If the Venerable doesn't intervene, it seems the Void Sword Sect is doomed.

"Huh? So that's why Father took us to watch the Sea Urchin Warrior and the Void Sword Sect fight for so long from the air?" Soft Feather suddenly realized after hearing Venerable Spirit Butterfly's words. "Father, let's not just stand by and watch anymore! Let's join in! After we finish fighting the Sea Urchin Warrior, we'll go find Venerable White. I feel like it'll be much more fun there... Besides, the Void Sword Sect even lost the 'Immortal Severing Platform' battle, so they pose no threat to the Chu Household and won't amount to anything!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Spirit Butterfly smiled and nodded, "Hmm, Soft Feather makes a good point. Then let's clear out the Sea Urchin Warrior below!"

Song Shuhang: "..."

Senior Spirit Butterfly, didn't you just say firmly that you 'absolutely would not preemptively help the Void Sword Sect's a second ago? Did Doudou eat your firm 'absolutely'?

Perhaps, the fate of the Void Sword Sect is not yet sealed?

******************************

Venerable Spirit Butterfly arrived at the edge of the colorful clouds. A gust of wind blew, lifting his long robe, revealing his handsome appearance from every angle.

Then, the Venerable said to his eldest disciple Liu Jianyi, "Jianyi, watch carefully. What I'm about to demonstrate is another variation of the Spirit Butterfly Sword Technique, a completely different type from the 'Butterfly-Phoenix Transformation'."

To teach one's students at any time and in any opportunity—that is the essence of being a teacher.

As she spoke, Venerable Spirit Butterfly formed a sword with her fingers and unleashed a sword aura at the Void Sword Sect below.

The sword energy transformed into a giant Spirit Butterfly, its wings gleaming with sword energy.

"Disperse!" Venerable Spirit Butterfly uttered softly.

The next moment, the giant Spirit Butterfly split apart, transforming into countless smaller Spirit Butterfly that fluttered across the sky. Each Spirit Butterfly was a sharp sword aura.
