Unworthy of That Face

The temporary tunnel, breached by several powerful beings working together, is continuously absorbing the Spiritual Qi of the Immortal Spirit Realm.

The large interdimensional flying boats specially crafted by the various sects of the Black Tortoise Realm were already prepared for departure. Beneath the flying boats were groups of young disciples bidding farewell to their sects, and Sang Ying was naturally among them.

Surrounded by Fang Chi and Dong Fuzhu, she glanced towards the direction of Sang Zheng and his wife.

Wen Miaoshu, fighting back tears, waved to her daughter. "Tell me, are all those array plates and pills we gave our daughter enough? Why didn't you prepare a few more Sword Qi Ball for Sang Sang? You're supposed to be a sword cultivator!"

Sword Qi Ball is a projectile in which a swordsman seals their surging Sword Qi. This thing is extremely powerful, and the more skilled the swordsman, the darker the color of the Sword Qi Ball they create.

When Sang Zheng reached this level, the Sword Qi Ball had already turned blackish-purple.

Sang Zheng quickly explained to himself, "Their departure date is tight, and those three boxes of Sword Qi Ball were already my limit. My senior brother also said that their main purpose is training. The beast tide in the Black Tortoise Realm has passed its most dangerous phase. Now, they're just there to clean up the mess and help the various sects rebuild."

"And you have to trust our daughter. Even for our sake, Sang Ying wouldn't act impulsively."

Sang Zheng was quite confident about this.

Even so, Wen Miaoshu was still a little worried. "What if we go with them?"

"Hey! What are you, an elder, doing going over there? Besides, we've only just returned and haven't even seen our master yet." Sang Zheng shook his head in refusal.

The couple weren't the youngest; they only became junior brothers and sisters of Jiulian and the others because they joined the Supreme Elder's sect too late.

The Supreme Elder is currently in seclusion, and they are worried that something might happen to him. Therefore, when they returned to the Twin Orchid Realm to look for their daughter, they only planned to stay there for a short time before bringing Sang Ying back.

I just never expected so many unexpected things to happen in the end.

Thinking of his master, Wen Miaoshu finally kept quiet.

She waved to her daughter again, hiding the reluctance in her eyes.

Beside the flying boat, Sang Ying also withdrew her gaze and boarded the large flying boat, which had cost a fortune to build, along with the others.

However, as soon as they stepped onto the path, they bumped right into Jimo Qing and his group.

The beast tide from the Black Tortoise Realm is coming on strong, and many forces in the Immortal Spirit Realm have received requests for help, including the Jimo Household.

Although Ten Thousand Daos Born wanted to use this opportunity to toughen up his disciples, he was also aware of the risks involved. Most of the disciples he selected were those who had been in the sect for many years, had frequently taken on missions to eliminate Demon Beast and beasts, and were extremely experienced in this area.

Among the newly admitted disciples, only Sang Ying and Lan Fusheng, who were already in the Golden Core Late Stage, were selected.

For various reasons, the disciple leading the team this time is no longer Sang Ying, but the previous chief disciple, Ji Fucang.

Ji Fucang is the disciple of the sect leader who is still in seclusion, and is also the recognized successor to the sect leader.

He held the top spot on the Heaven's Chosen Ranking for most years until he was fifty, surpassing the talents of other small worlds. Now, at the age of one hundred and fifty, he has broken through to the Spirit Transformation, making him arguably the fastest cultivator in the Ten Thousand Daos Born besides Jiulian.

It is said that once he breaks through to the Soul Leaving Stage, he will be able to take over the heavy responsibility of Ten Thousand Daos Born from his master!

Ji Fucang's excellence is beyond doubt. Many people lamented that if Ji Fucang hadn't been in seclusion during his cultivation breakthrough and hadn't been unable to participate in that year's sect competition, perhaps Ten Thousand Daos Born could have won another first place.

With such a powerful senior brother as their leader, no one had any Qi Ingestion; they could only secretly rejoice in their hearts.

Compared to the neighboring Mara Gate, which placed a Golden Core disciple above a group of high-level disciples, it really seems ridiculous.

It seems the leader of the Mara Gate was aware that Su Fuyun couldn't handle the situation, so he appointed the most powerful cultivator among the fellow cultivators as his deputy to help Su Fuyun with miscellaneous tasks.

Among Sang Ying Dong Fuzhu was the most well-informed. So after greeting Jimo Qing and the others, she pulled Sang Ying aside and pointed to the male cultivator following Su Fuyun, saying:

"See that? That's Luo Jin from the Mara Gate. He's already at the Spirit Transformation, but he's older than our Senior Brother Ji, and his cultivation isn't as advanced."

Sang Ying looked in the direction Dong Fuzhu pointed, and as soon as that handsome face appeared, a strange memory popped into her head.

It was the same man in front of me, with the same face.

He stood beside Su Fuyun, tightly protecting the female cultivator in the white dress, his gaze filled with a hint of malice and disgust. "Since Fuyun has pleaded for you, I will show mercy and let you go this time. But if there is a next time, even if you are Fuyun's junior sister and the disciple of Immortal Venerable Yanchen, I will not let you go!"

Then, the man seemed to make a Method Formula, and a surge of Spiritual Power suddenly rushed towards him.

Sang Ying was already injured, so she naturally couldn't dodge the attack from this Spirit Transformation cultivator. The Spiritual Power landed directly on Sang Ying's face, leaving an ugly scar the size of half a palm on her right cheek.

Seeing this, the man nodded in satisfaction. "A wicked and shameless female cultivator like you is not worthy of such a face. This is more suitable for someone as vicious as you!"

Thus, after losing to her senior sister, "Sang Ying" also lost her beauty, finally becoming a laughingstock of the Flowing Light Sword Sect...

"Senior sister, senior sister? Senior sister Sang, what's wrong?" Dong Fuzhu's voice woke Sang Ying from her memories.

She suddenly came to her senses and realized that she had long since deviated from her original destiny, and everything was different from what was written in the book.

Sang Ying took a deep breath, calming State of Mind down again. "I'm fine, I just remembered some unpleasant things."

She didn't say much, so the others didn't ask any further questions.

Only Jiang Zhuoxue, who was excluded, still kept her gaze on Sang Ying.

This interlude was quickly forgotten, and Dong Fuzhu continued, "As everyone knows, the Black Tortoise Realm is filled with numerous sects, including many large ones. Many sects have come seeking our assistance this time, with Sword Frost Cliff, which approached us, and Limitless Sect, which approached Mara Gate, being two major adversaries."

Sure enough, standing next to Luo Jin was a man with a cold and arrogant expression.

The man was dressed in fine clothes, and even though he was only at the Nascent Soul stage, he remained arrogant when facing Luo Jin, who had already reached the Spirit Transformation. It was as if he wasn't a helper he had asked for, but a hired hand he had paid for.

In comparison, the young man sent by Sword Frost Cliff appeared much kinder and more polite.

As they chatted, the barrier surrounding the transboundary airship slowly unfolded.

With the help of several Spirit Crystal, the enormous flying boat slowly headed towards the deep tunnel. To onlookers, it looked as if the tunnel was swallowing the flying boat full of cultivators.

"Swish"

A flash of white light appeared, and before everyone could look, the flying boat and the tunnel had both vanished.

Meanwhile, in the Twin Orchid Realm, which is adjacent to the Immortal Spirit Realm, a turmoil has also arisen—the Fusheng Demon Lord of unknown origin has led a group of Devil Cultivator to formally declare war on all the immortal sects!
