Chapter 2: Old Fiend Baiyue Was Sent Flying

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zeng Jing was not happy after sending a bad person flying with a punch. Instead, he was worried.

That old man said that he had destroyed the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect, is that true?

You normally couldn’t trust a bad guy when he speaks seriously. However, you could trust at least half of what a bad guy says when he brags.

He was increasingly worried and had no choice but to pick up speed and continue climbing up the mountain.

It didn’t take long to discover a small natural valley. Smoke billowed from it, and something seemed to be burning.

Zeng Jing knew that he had found the place and quickly ran over.

At the entrance of the valley stood a huge stone tablet with large words on it which read, “Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect”. It was written in a neutral manner and carried the strong aura of a righteous sect.

However, Zeng Jing did not have the time to admire the calligraphy on the stone tablet. He hurried into the valley; the thick smell of blood engulfed him as soon as he entered. There were two corpses lying on the roadside. They looked like disciples guarding the mountain gate judging from their clothes. Blood oozed out from their seven orifices and their swords were broken.

Zeng Jing’s heart sank as he continued deeper into the valley. What he saw ahead of him was what used to be a cluster of houses, most of them burned to ash. Several were still burning with black smoke billowing.

Corpses were lying everywhere around the house. There were outer sect disciples who looked obviously inferior in their dressing, as well as Sword Sect cultivators who were obviously core disciples given their clothings. Men, women, elderly and children, all of them were bleeding from their seven orifices, obviously dead.

The scene was tragic with hundreds of corpses littering the ground!

“How ruthless!” Zeng Jing suddenly regretted it. He was too easy on the old man just now. Logically speaking, it wouldn’t be too much to cut him into pieces after such an evil act.

He felt a little vexed at this thought. His wish to join the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect as a disciple was up in smoke. The Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect would probably be gone forever from the martial world.

Suddenly, he heard a sound in his ears. It seemed to be coming from underground. A hammering of sorts.

He searched for the source of the sound and his gaze landed upon a well. A huge copper cauldron with a talisman stuck on it pressed against the well. The symbol on the talisman was unknown to Zeng Jing, but he could roughly guess that it was most likely used to suppress the copper cauldron so that it could not be lifted by the people in the well.

Someone was still alive in the well!

Zeng Jing perked up and hurried over. He reached out and tore the talisman away, allowing it to fall onto the ground. Then, with a loud bang, it seemed that someone had slapped the copper cauldron hard from below. It flew high up while the person in the well rushed out.

It was a woman drenched from head to toe!

She looked to be about 20 years old, about the same age as Zeng Jing. Her features were beautiful and elegant. She had two long swords crossed and slung across her back. She would have been a beauty if she hadn’t been soaked to the skin. She looked anything but disheveled.

As soon as she came out, her clothes began to dry. She probably used some cultivation technique to instantly vaporize the moisture from her clothes. She became as beautiful as a fairy in the blink of an eye.

Her beautiful face was clearly filled with sorrow when she saw the bodies on the ground. However, there were no tears nor suicidal actions. It seemed like she was already mentally prepared for the situation outside while she was soaking in the well.

Her beautiful eyes locked onto Zeng Jing with clear wariness in them. “Who are you?”

Zeng Jing said, “Sister, don’t be nervous. I’m not a bad person. My name is Zeng Jing. I’m just an ordinary person.”

The woman carefully sized up Zeng Jing and felt that he did not have any spiritual energy on him and really looked like an ordinary person. Looking at the talisman paper in his hand, she immediately understood that he was the one who had removed the “Mountain Suppression Talisman” on the copper cauldron and let her out.

“My name is Bai Yan! Thank you for letting me out.” The woman gave her name and quickly returned to the well. She called down, “Junior Sister, you can come out now.”

There was a splash as another person leapt out of the well.

Zeng Jing took a closer look. It was a loli1 this time. She looked to be about 10 years old. Her face was snow-white, and her facial features were pink and cute. However, her expression was not as calm as Bai Yan’s. As soon as she came out of the well, she took a look at the corpses outside and immediately burst into tears. “Master… Mistress… Senior Brother… Senior Sister… They’re all dead… Boohoo… They’re all dead…”

That loli knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. It made one’s heart ache.

Zeng Jing was speechless.

Bai Yan patted the loli’s shoulder and said, “Junior Sister, don’t cry. We have to leave quickly. The two of us will be finished if Old Fiend Baiyue comes back again. We can’t die now. If the two of us die, the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect will really be wiped out. Therefore, we have to live on and train hard to revive the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect. Only then can we kill that Old Fiend Baiyue and take revenge in the future.”

Loli finally stopped crying when she heard this. “But we have to at least bury everyone’s bodies…”

“We don’t have that luxury of time!” Bai Yan gritted her teeth and said, “I can’t let you take such a huge risk for someone who’s already dead. You mustn’t die no matter what. Otherwise, our Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect will really be gone. When the enemy came, Master pushed the two of us into the well, used the copper cauldron and the Mountain Suppression Talisman to hide us. He wanted you to survive, and my mission is to help you revive the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect. I can’t let you take any more risks. Everyone will definitely understand why we can’t bury them. Let’s go.”

“Erm!” Zeng Jing suddenly raised his hand and said, “If you’re worried about Old Fiend Baiyue’s return, I don’t think it’s necessary. I just…”

He was about to say, I just sent him flying with a punch.

However, he quickly suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Wasn’t it too pretentious to say it out loud? He wasn’t such a pretentious person. He had to be low-key, a person who was low-key would reap rewards.

He made an emergency turn and said, “On the way up the mountain, I saw Old Demon Baiyue being sent flying by a righteous cultivator.”

“Eh?” Bai Yan and the loli turned to look at him in surprise. “Really?”

“Really!” Zeng Jing said, “Doesn’t Old Fiend Baiyue look like an old man in his eighties? He’s was very particular with his clothes and had many jade accessories…”

Bai Yan said, “Ah, that’s him.”

Zeng Jing said, “That’s him alright. He used his divine sense to scan a passing righteous cultivator and angered him just now. They fought. I didn’t understand how they fought. Anyway, in the end, Old Fiend Baiyue was sent flying by the righteous cultivator and turned into a star in the sky. Don’t ask me about this righteous cultivator. I’m an ordinary person who doesn’t know anything. I don’t know anyone from the martial world.”

Bai Yan was speechless.

The loli said nothing.
