Once You Used Me as a Stepping Stone; Today I'll Put Myself Beyond Your Reach

Upon hearing this, Chen Qianqian's lips curled up slightly. She stopped what she was doing and turned her gaze toward the direction from which the sound came.

An elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in tattered clothes, leaning on a cane, slowly walked out.

He didn't walk fast, and he seemed to have a limp.

But with each step the old man took, his aura grew stronger. When he reached the entrance of the Severed Emotion Valley, he exuded the pressure of Half-Step Spirit Nurturing.

"We pay our respects to the Supreme Elder."

The cultivators of the Valley of Severed Emotion Valley, upon seeing the old man before them, instantly regained their morale, which had plummeted to rock bottom.

In their minds, the Supreme Elder was an invincible being, and back then, the Supreme Elder even used the formation of the Valley of Severed Emotion Valley to withstand the attack of a Nascent Spirit Nurturing cultivator.

"Are you able to speak?"

Chen Qianqian looked at the old man in front of her without any respect on her face and asked slowly.

"I am the Supreme Elder of the Valley of Severed Emotion Valley, so naturally I have the authority to speak on this matter."

The Supreme Elder paused for a moment before continuing, "Did all of you fairies really come here only for one disciple of my Severed Emotion Valley?"

"Good."

As Chu Caiyi spoke, her imposing aura emanated from her.

The moment that terrifying aura appeared, the Supreme Elder's face turned pale, and his body swayed involuntarily.

"Cough... cough..."

The Supreme Elder coughed twice. "That's right. If it weren't for the fact that we, the Severed Emotion Valley, are a mortal force, we would never be able to provoke a disciple of a sect with such a supreme lineage as you, Fairy. And you asked how you wish to handle this matter? As long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost."

Having lived for over a thousand years, his insight far surpassed that of the Valley Master of Severed Emotion Valley. The fairy before him, though only possessing the aura of the Spirit Nurturing Realm, was immediately aware of his abilities.

But that oppressive aura was something only the most outstanding geniuses he had ever seen deep in his memory possessed.

Such prodigies are either born in holy lands or, at the very least, from Half-Saint forces.

Even Half-Saint power is not something that a small Severed Emotion Valley can stop.

"Wouldn't it have been resolved earlier?"

Chen Qianqian muttered impatiently.

"The fairy is right."

The Supreme Elder was not angry at all; on the contrary, he had a fawning expression on his face.

This scene instantly shattered the towering image he had previously held in the eyes of the disciples of the Severed Emotion Valley.

However, the disciples in the Severed Emotion Valley were not driven by passion; they simply had the idea of leaving the Valley of Severed Emotion Valley.

It's better to leave such a sect.

Chu Caiyi said calmly, "Hand over Liu Jiahui. Furthermore, since you from the Severed Emotion Valley Love dared to plot against my children, you must make compensation."

"Can."

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Elder agreed without hesitation.

Compared to the crisis of annihilation, handing over a disciple is nothing. Besides, the Valley Master of the Severed Emotion Valley has already perished, so naturally he wouldn't care about a disciple.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiahui, who was in the crowd, turned pale instantly and lost her balance, falling to the ground.

Seeing Abbess Mieqing immediately helped her up and said calmly, "Jiahui, go. This is your karma."

"Master, it's me."

Liu Jiahui was now filled with fear. She dared not face Li Ping'an, nor did she dare face this group of menacing immortals.

The Abbess Mieqing said, "If you don't want to maintain your dignity, then I can only help you do so."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiahui's last glimmer of hope vanished. She slowly stood up and walked out of the crowd like a walking corpse.

Wherever he went, the disciples of the Severed Emotion Valley made way for him.

When they saw that the one who brought such a great disaster to the Severed Emotion Valley was actually a disciple who had just Spirit Awakening, they were extremely frustrated.

Even the Supreme Elder's lips twitched involuntarily. He cursed those who recruited disciples in his heart, thinking, "Have you all forgotten the rules of my Severed Emotion Valley?"

They almost wiped out my Severed Emotion Valley just to take on a single disciple.

Liu Jiahui quickly appeared before Chu Xuedao. Looking at Chu Xuedao, she said, "Brother Ping'an, please don't kill me! I really didn't want to take your life. It was all my master's and the Severed Emotion Valley's doing that forced me to do this!"

These words instantly enraged the disciples of the Severed Emotion Valley.

Although the cultivation methods of the Severed Emotion Valley are somewhat unconventional, they never force anyone to practice them.

Countless ordinary people from the surrounding Jiang Kingdom would do anything to join their Severed Emotion Valley.

This woman did such a thing just to save her life.

If it weren't for those terrifying guys, they really would have wanted to kill this despicable daughter.

"Li Ping'an is dead."

Chu Xuedao's first words immediately broke Liu Jiahui's guard. He continued, "The person standing before you now is Chu Xuedao. I'm not here today to hear your confession, but to tell you that you used me as a stepping stone for your cultivation in the past, but today you will be unable to reach me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly drew the long sword from his waist.

Clang!

Accompanied by a flash of light, a blade of energy descended.

Before Liu Jiahui could even react, she was sliced in two.

Chu Xuedao didn't glance at Liu Jiahui's corpse again before slowly sheathing his long sword.

"Good!"

Someone from the Valley of Severed Emotion Valley shouted first, and soon many disciples clapped and cheered.

"Well done!"

"Well said! Women like that deserve to die!"

"..."

Seeing that her son had resolved the matter so decisively, Chu Caiyi nodded in satisfaction, and then descended from the sky with Chu Yingying.

Chen Qianqian, Bai Qian, and Marquis Colorful Feather also landed.

Upon seeing this, the Supreme Elder of the Severed Emotion Valley quickly stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist, now that the first matter has been resolved, the next step is to discuss compensation."

Chu Caiyi said calmly, "I am not the kind of person who is unreasonable. You can simply choose a treasure from your Severed Emotion Valley's treasury."

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Elder of the Severed Emotion Valley's eyes lit up, but upon closer reflection, he realized that the other party was merely going through the motions, and given their status, how could they possibly be interested in the Severed Emotion Valley's collection?

"Please, fellow Daoist."

"Um."

After Chu Caiyi responded, she led the group to follow the Supreme Elder into the valley.

A moment later, the group arrived at the treasure vault of the Valley of Severed Emotion Valley.

The Supreme Elder said, "Fellow Daoist, this is the treasure trove of my Severed Emotion Valley. Please feel free to choose whatever you like."

Chu Caiyi nodded slightly. "Just bring some ancient artifacts from the Severed Emotion Valley; we're too lazy to look at these scraps of metal."

"No problem."

The Supreme Elder thought to himself: Just as I guessed, what the other party wanted was face. This is indeed the usual way of doing things for a prodigy.

Before long, the Supreme Elder carried several boxes and placed them in front of Chu Caiyi and her group.

"My esteemed fairies, these items have been stored in my Severed Emotion Valley for tens of thousands of years; they can be considered ancient artifacts."

Upon hearing this, Chu Caiyi and the others showed no change in expression. In their eyes, there was no difference between something that was tens of thousands of years old and something that was hundreds of years old.

After scanning the area with their divine senses, the three women's gazes all fell on an old wooden box, and they said in unison, "That's it."

The Supreme Elder followed the three women's gaze and, seeing that they had chosen the wooden box, paused for a moment before nodding. "No problem, fairies, please take this item with you."

Chu Caiyi grabbed the box casually and took it with her, stopping in her tracks before leaving.

"This matter ends here."

Thank you, fellow Daoist.

The Supreme Elder personally escorted Chu Caiyi and her group away from the Severed Emotion Valley. As soon as Marquis Colorful Feather into the air, he instantly grew a hundred times larger, and his terrifying pressure also burst forth.

Although it was only for a moment, it still left all the cultivators in the Severed Emotion Valley Heartbreak feeling as if their souls had left their bodies.

After a long silence, the Supreme Elder finally spoke, "That... that was the Nirvana Demon King. Fortunately, I didn't choose to fight to the death."

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking members of the Severed Emotion Valley standing behind him broke out in a cold sweat once more. The Supreme Elder's figure once again seemed incredibly towering in their eyes...
