Reunited with Qingxuan (1)

Qin Xiaoshuang was an ordinary disciple of the Infinite Sect. Her daily life was very ordinary. Apart from practicing her skills, she would complete mandatory missions with her close female disciples. Although she occasionally suffered injuries, she lived a peaceful life. The death of the White-Brow Daoist Venerable was just big news for disciples of her level, nothing more.

However, on this particular day, she encountered some trouble.

On their way back from an outing with several fellow disciples, they were stopped by a group of people. This group was dressed uniformly in Daoist robes. Just a few months ago, they were disciples of the Infinite Sect, but now they had joined a newly rising sect. In fact, many forces have already intervened in the Infinite Starfield. After all, it is a level 7 starfield with abundant resources, and these forces' entry point is to support various sects and annex rival forces, so that once the time is right, they can take over completely.

Upon seeing the ill-intentioned person opposite them, Qin Xiaoshuang and the others were taken aback. They naturally knew that recently, disciples from other sects had frequently come to threaten Infinite Sect disciples into leaving their sects, but they never expected to encounter such a person themselves today.

"Let's go around them!" Qin Xiaoshuang gritted her teeth and led her sisters to try to pass by, but those people were looking for them, so how could they let them go so easily?

"Stop right there! You think you can just run away when you see us, Qin Xiaoshuang? You haven't done something wrong, have you?" A woman leading the group laughed. Although she was also a woman, she had a very mean look on her face.

His long face, high forehead, and cheekbones gave him a rather fierce look, while his hooked nose and thin lips exuded meanness and snobbishness.

Qin Xiaoshuang was annoyed upon hearing this, but she didn't want to get entangled with the other party any further. However, the woman with the mean face had no intention of letting Qin Xiaoshuang and her companion go.

Several agile men and women quickly swept past from both sides, blocking Qin Xiaoshuang and the other disciples of the Infinite Sect.

Finally, Qin Xiaoshuang couldn't hold back any longer. She turned and glared at the hook-nosed woman, angrily saying, "Senior Sister Liao, you betrayed your sect and went to another sect, which is already a crime. Now you're causing us trouble. If the sect leader finds out, he will surely punish you..."

"Sect Leader? That girl surnamed Zhuo? Bah! What is she anyway, daring to call herself Sect Leader... Ever since that old man White-Brow died, the Infinite Sect is finished. If you ask me, Qin Xiaoshuang, you'd better wake up and plan for your future. If you join me, I guarantee your combat power will increase by one level..." Liao Changhong laughed wildly, and the men and women who came with her also laughed loudly upon hearing her words.

"Aren't you... afraid of retribution?" Although Qin Xiaoshuang didn't care much about sect affairs, this was, after all, her home. Even if others betrayed the Infinite Sect, she wouldn't.

"Retribution? Hmph, Junior Sister Qin... I'll call you Junior Sister one more time. Let me tell you honestly, with that girl surnamed Zhuo's mere S4 combat strength, how could she possibly support the Infinite Sect? Didn't you see that even the sect's elders have all left? Think about why. I'm not afraid to tell you now, the entire Infinite Starfield is already on the verge of collapse. You don't know, do you? The higher-ups are about to change things. Two even more powerful figures want to replace the Main God and take over our Infinite Starfield. Those two have already given orders that any resistance will be met with annihilation... Junior Sister Qin, we used to have some connections, and if it weren't for your good aptitude and S1 combat strength, I wouldn't have bothered with all this. It's up to you to decide what to do. As for the other junior sisters, you should also think it over carefully. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, or it will be too late to regret it later!"

These words caused Qin Xiaoshuang and the others to change their expressions. How could they have imagined that the current chaotic situation in the Infinite Starfield was because someone wanted to replace the Main God?

That was beyond her reach. For a moment, Qin Xiaoshuang felt powerless, but she quickly regained her composure. No matter what, the current sect leader had been working hard to revitalize the Infinite Sect, and as a disciple, how could she betray the sect?

"Senior Sister Liao, please stop talking. No matter what, we will never betray the Infinite Sect. We also believe that our Sect Leader can revitalize our sect. We hope that Senior Sister Liao will see the error of her ways and return to the right path..."

"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" Liao Changhong's face hardened, but he gave a signal to his companions. These disciples, whose combat strength was around S1 or S2, quickly surrounded Qin Xiaoshuang and the others, each taking out their magical artifacts. Qin Xiaoshuang and the others also nervously took out their magical artifacts, and the two groups faced off like this.

Just then, a figure descended from the sky, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust. This man wore a black Daoist robe, had a rugged face, skin as black as charcoal, and a bushy beard, looking like a fiery Vajra. As soon as he appeared, Liao Changhong's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said respectfully, "Disciple Liao Changhong greets Situ Leader Situ!"

The disciples who were with Liao Changhong also greeted him in unison, their expressions extremely respectful.

Now, Qin Xiaoshuang and the other disciples of the Infinite Sect turned pale. How could they not know that the person who came must be the sect leader of Liao Changhong's current sect? Moreover, the aura emanating from this Situ leader, Situ, was extremely powerful, at least reaching level S6, or even level S7.

Situ Leader Situ seemed quite pleased with Liao Changhong and the others' attitude. He laughed heartily, said "No need for formalities," and then spoke up, "Changhong, I asked you to persuade the disciples of the Infinite Sect to convert to our sect, but it seems that close combat is not going well!"

Although the voice was calm, there was a hint of accusation in it, which made Liao Changhong and the others' expressions change drastically, and many of them broke out in a cold sweat.

"Sect Leader, you have a wise decision! These Infinite Sect disciples are too deeply poisoned and refuse to follow the trend. We are preparing to kill them to pave the way for your unification of the Infinite Starfield!" At this point, Liao Changhong didn't care about anything else. She knew very well how powerful Situ Leader Situ was. You must know that Situ Leader Situ was handpicked by those two important figures. In just one month, his combat power had increased from S3 level to S8 level, making him even stronger than the former White-Brow Daoist Venerable. It was because of this that Liao Changhong betrayed the Infinite Sect without hesitation and joined their ranks.

Simply put, for an S8-level expert, crushing themselves is extremely easy.

After hearing Liao Changhong's words, Situ Leader Situ nodded, then looked at Qin Xiaoshuang and the others and said, "Well, those who are stubborn and unyielding certainly deserve to die, but these Infinite Sect disciples are not weak either. If you want to kill these guys, you'll need to use some methods. Today I'm going to go up the mountain to get rid of that girl surnamed Zhuo, and I'll help you out while I'm at it. Then we'll go up the mountain together!"

"Yes, sir!" Liao Changhong and the others quickly nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a mocking and fierce glint flashed in the eyes of Situ Leader Situ as he stared at Qin Xiaoshuang and the others. Then, with a wave of his hand, a visible crimson wave surged towards Qin Xiaoshuang and the others like a tidal wave. Wherever the wave passed, grass and trees were destroyed, and even solid rocks were shattered into pieces by the wave.

If Qin Xiaoshuang and the others were struck by this wave, they would be crippled or killed, given their cultivation levels. Yet this was merely a casual strike from Situ Leader Situ. This was the difference in power. Just at this critical moment, a white streak of light rushed down from the mountain, accompanied by a delicate shout, "You scoundrel, how dare you attack my sect's disciples!"

The white streak of light arrived instantly, blocking Qin Xiaoshuang and the others' path. The person in question had long, Piaopiao hair, skin as smooth as jade, and bones as beautiful as precious stones, but her bright eyes were now filled with rage. As soon as she appeared, she struck out with both palms, unleashing a wave of energy that collided fiercely with the opponent's energy.

A deafening roar was heard, and within a hundred meters, everything—flowers, trees, strange rocks, and streams—exploded into dust. Qin Xiaoshuang, Liao Changhong, and the others affected by the impact turned pale, and those with cultivation levels below S-rank were even knocked unconscious by the powerful collision, demonstrating its immense power.

"Sect Leader, it's the Sect Leader!" Qin Xiaoshuang and the others were overjoyed when they saw who it was, thinking to themselves that things were finally going well.

The beautiful woman in white was none other than Zhuo Qingxuan, the Infinite Sect leader of the Wuji Sect. However, she had discerned something from the force and aura of the opponent just now, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly. She had just been comprehending the cultivation technique within the sect when she sensed something, which was why she came down the mountain and saved the lives of Qin Xiaoshuang and the others.

"Sect Leader Zhuo, it's been a long time. I remember a year ago I had to call you Senior Sister, but you never expected things to turn out this way!" Situ Leader Situ, with his fleshy face, laughed loudly, his eyes filled with hatred.

The two clearly knew each other, Zhuo Qingxuan naturally knew the other's background as well. However, she exclaimed in shock, "Impossible! A year ago, your combat strength was only S3. It's impossible for you to have reached your current level in such a short time!"

"Why is it impossible? I have gained the favor of those two great figures. They want me to become the overlord of the Infinite Starfield, so they used their supreme divine powers to raise my combat strength to its current level within a month. Now I have sworn to be loyal to those two great figures to the death. As long as you are eliminated, the Infinite Sect will collapse and cease to exist. I'll see who dares to rebel against me then!"

Having said that, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly raised his hand to grab Zhuo Qingxuan opposite him.

The latter knew that further words were futile and launched a full-scale counterattack, only to find that his special skills were completely ineffective against his opponent, clearly indicating a significant gap in combat strength.

In just two moves, Zhuo Qingxuan was already unable to defend herself, and her opponent grabbed her wrist, dissipating all her strength.

"That's the difference. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. As long as you're willing to be my woman, we'll both serve those two lords and rule the Infinite Starfield!" Situ Leader Situ grinned lewdly. He originally wanted to kill this woman directly, but after seeing her, he felt it would be a pity to kill her. After all, she was an absolutely beautiful woman.
