Chapter 156

Since entering the secret realm a month ago, she hadn't really rested until yesterday, spending every night in a state of cultivation.

Perhaps over time, good sleeping postures are forgotten.

"Looks like I'll need to sleep more often from now on. As for cultivation... a little extra time won't make a difference."

Xiao Minghuang murmured softly.

Moreover, after a night's sleep, she felt incredibly light, as if something that had been accumulating inside her had been released, leaving her feeling refreshed and radiant.

Not only that, she even felt that her level of swordsmanship had improved.

However, this requires [%=

Xiao Minghuang's eyes flickered slightly. "It's a good opportunity to go and exchange ideas on swordsmanship with Sect Leader Sheng, and then I can take my leave."

With that thought in mind, she straightened her clothes and headed straight for the main peak of the Spirit Sword Sect.

The Spirit Sword Sect covers a vast area, Xiao Minghuang had to travel several times and ask for directions many times before finally reaching the main peak.

The reason she needed to ask for directions was because it was usually Sect Master Sheng who would come to pick her up.

This time, however, she went on her own initiative.

She arrived at the main peak of the Spirit Sword Sect, but was stopped by the disciples guarding the mountain.

"Who goes there! This is the main peak; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach!"

The disciples guarding the mountain, seeing that she was dressed in red, which was not the attire of the Spirit Sword Sect, were filled with wariness.

Previously, some disciples had invited outsiders to visit, but the outsiders took advantage of the situation to steal the sect's secrets. Therefore, the disciples guarding the mountain are always on guard.

Xiao Minghuang, unaware of the reason, cupped his hands in greeting and smiled:

"I am the Ninth Princess of the Xia Kingdom, sent here as a guest at the invitation of Sect Leader Sheng. Please inform her of my arrival."

Upon hearing this, the disciple guarding the mountain looked puzzled.

They had never heard of the Sect Master inviting guests.

Furthermore, who is the Ninth Princess of Xia?

Never heard of it.

No wonder they didn't know Xiao Minghuang's reputation; it's because the Spirit Sword Sect has many disciples, most of whom are focused on sword cultivation and rarely communicate with the outside world.

Among the Three Great Sects, the Spirit Sword Sect is the strongest, but it is also the most isolated in terms of information.

"Please wait here while I go and ask the elder."

Leaving behind a message, one of the disciples guarding the mountain walked away, presumably to find the elder.

Looking at the wary gazes of the disciples guarding the mountain, Xiao Minghuang felt helpless.

If she had known, she should have asked Sect Master Sheng for some kind of identification.

It's really embarrassing to be suspected by the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect now.

And so, under the watchful eyes of the disciples guarding the mountain, Xiao Minghuang waited quietly.

To be honest, Xiao Minghuang was also a little puzzled. She was very clear about her beauty; not to mention that she was the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Region, no one in the entire Southern Border could compare to her.

These disciples guarding the mountain, though both men and women, were like a group of monks and nuns who ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist prayers; they all looked at her with wary eyes, as if she were some kind of monstrous flood.

"It seems that practicing swordsmanship for a long time can make one lose worldly desires."

As Xiao Minghuang thought this through, she suddenly felt that her desires had diminished considerably.

Previously, she was quite looking forward to returning to Xiadu and spending a few happy days with Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu.

But when I woke up this morning, those previously intense desires seemed to have vanished all at once.

Thinking of this, Xiao Minghuang suddenly hesitated.

Should she continue practicing swordsmanship?

If things continue like this, and I end up losing all worldly desires, it doesn't seem worth it.

After all, there are many ways to become stronger.

But there are very few ways to be happy.

And at that time...

A figure in white flew over.

Xiao Minghuang looked up and saw a young man dressed in white land on the ground. He carried a long sword on his back and had a hint of arrogance between his brows.

"You claim to be the Ninth Princess of the Xia Kingdom?"

Xiao Minghuang looked puzzled. She didn't think she had offended this person, did she? Why was he so aggressive from the start?

"That's right, I am Xiao Minghuang, and who are you?"

"This is the newly appointed elder, Li Feng. At only fifty-eight years old, he has already reached the Divine Sea Peak Realm and comprehended minor sword intent. Looking at the entire Spirit Sword Sect, he is second only to the Sect Master!"

Li Feng remained silent, but the disciples guarding the mountain beside him launched into a chorus of praise.

Xiao Minghuang smiled and replied:

"My apologies, it's Elder Li. May I ask if you could convey my greetings to Ninth Princess Xiao Minghuang of Xia Kingdom, that she wishes to pay her respects to Sect Master Sheng? If she knows it's me, she will certainly welcome me personally."

Upon hearing this statement...

Li Feng's gaze, which had been tilted to one side, finally landed on Xiao Minghuang, but a look of disdain appeared in his pupils.

"She's just a mere girl at the Divine Sea Third Layer, yet she claims the Sect Master will personally greet her. What utterly arrogant words!"

"Even if you really are the Ninth Princess of Xia, you should know that this is not your Xia Kingdom, but the Spirit Sword Sect!"

After repeated concessions, Xiao Minghuang's gaze finally turned cold.

Although she didn't know why Li Feng kept targeting her, since he had clearly made it clear that he wanted to bully her, it would be too cowardly to continue to tolerate it.

She's not made of clay; how can she let others mold her like that?

"Since you don't believe my identity, why don't we see what you've got?"

After comprehending the Thousand Layers Sword Intent, she believed herself to be invincible among those below the Spirit Seed Realm.

This naturally includes the so-called Divine Sea Peak Realm right before our eyes!

She wasn't afraid of making a big deal out of it; in fact, she thought it would be better if things got bigger!

Xiao Minghuang's attitude infuriated Li Feng. His eyes narrowed, a nameless anger rising within him, and his expression became even more hostile.

"Since you've brought this upon yourself, don't blame me for being impolite!"

After saying that, Li Feng flicked his wrist, and the long sword on his back immediately left its sheath, shooting towards Xiao Minghuang like a meteor.

Sword intent pierced the air, and a sharp Sword Qi swept through.

Xiao Minghuang's gaze sharpened, and with a slight lift of his right hand, a pure white longsword appeared out of thin air, instantly splitting into a thousand sword shadows that poured out like a tidal wave!

Ding ding ding...

A series of collisions erupted, unleashing a torrent of Sword Qi energy with earth-shattering force.

After a brief exchange, Xiao Minghuang quickly gained the upper hand. Her thousands of sword shadows surged like a surging sea, engulfing Li Feng's sword intent.

Li Feng was shocked. He never expected that this little girl, who was only at the Divine Sea Third Layer, could suppress his sword intent!

Moreover, why does this continuous, tide-like sword intent look so familiar?

He quickly composed himself, daring not to be careless in the slightest. He turned his sword around, and the longsword transformed into countless sword shadows, raining down like a storm.

The countless sword shadows formed a large net, finally completely blocking the thousands of sword shadows.

"I was careless today. It seems this person really is the princess of Xia!"

Li Feng thought to himself that his realm was much higher than that of the Xia Kingdom princess. Although his sword intent was a level lower, it shouldn't be that much worse under normal circumstances.

The only explanation is that the Xia Kingdom princess is truly powerful, not only in swordsmanship but also in other extraordinary abilities.

Just as he was pondering this...

In the sky, the vast net formed by countless sword shadows trembled incessantly, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

Seeing this situation.

Xiao Minghuang's eyes flickered slightly, and her pupils seemed to sparkle with countless stars. Instantly, a small patch of starlight surrounded her, as if the stars were guarding her.

She flipped her hand, and a pure white longsword appeared in her hand, which she raised high to the sky.

At that moment, it was as if she had raised a thousand divine swords, her power boundless.

In the blink of an eye, one sword led a thousand swords, carrying the light of countless stars, and slashed down fiercely!

Rumble!

The starlight surged like a tide, arriving in an instant. The vast net of sword shadows that filled the sky could only hold out for a moment before being completely swallowed up.

173. I've come to bid farewell to the Sect Master. [Please subscribe!]

Li Feng hurriedly dodged, but the thousand swords followed him like shadows, arriving in an instant, and were about to strike his head.

With the competition having progressed to this point, even Xiao Minghuang was powerless to stop at the last minute.

She was also puzzled. How could this so-called elder at the Divine Sea Peak Realm be so weak that he couldn't even block one of her sword strikes?

Elder Li!

"We've made a huge mistake!"

"Quickly, go and fetch the Law Enforcement Elder!"

The disciples guarding the mountain shouted.

It was around this time.

A sharp sword light ripped through the sky, and wherever it touched, the air exploded instantly, piercing through a thousand swords in a flash, and the world suddenly went dark!

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out, and the thousands of swords in the sky, which resembled a tidal wave, crumbled and dissolved piece by piece, disappearing completely into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

An elderly man in white robes floated in the air, his gaze sharp as a sword. He stood in mid-air, and the air around him was cut into pieces.

"What a remarkable Ninth Princess of Xia! Truly a genius! Today, I shall see just how strong you really are!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The white-robed elder stood on a flying sword and unleashed a slash that carried a sharp Sword Qi, directly attacking Xiao Minghuang.

However, before the Sword Qi could even get close to Xiao Minghuang, it seemed as if seawater had encountered a reef, scattering and passing by.

Upon seeing this, the white-robed old man's face darkened.

"Major Accomplishment sword intent! You truly don't take me seriously!"

As a peak Spirit Seed Realm elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, he had comprehended a minor level of sword intent. It was one thing if he couldn't compare to the Sect Master, but it was truly shameful that he was inferior to this immature, yellow-haired girl in front of him!

Besides, there are so many younger disciples here. If he were to stop now, where would he put his old face?

"Hmph! Little brat, how dare you be so insolent!"

The white-robed elder's gaze turned cold. He raised his right hand, and a flash of spiritual light appeared in his palm, condensing into a giant handprint in the void. He then slammed it down fiercely towards Xiao Minghuang.

As a peak Spirit Seed Realm expert, even without using sword intent, he could easily cripple this little girl in front of him!

Faced with the furious attack of the Spirit Seed Realm expert, Xiao Minghuang was also wary. Of course, she dared not take it head-on. She took out a talisman from her storage bag and was about to crush it when...

In the azure sky, a beam of sword light arrived in an instant, shattering the giant handprint with lightning speed and knocking the old man back!

"Um?"

The old man in white robes was taken aback. He looked up at the sky, a look of shock on his face.

"Sect Master!"

"The Sect Master has actually come in person!"

"But why did the Sect Master defeat the Law Enforcement Elder?"

A group of disciples exclaimed in surprise.

In the sky.
