Chapter 312 - 311: Slaying All the World’s Unfaithful
"Spirit Fixation!"
Having used "Love’s Protection" to rise to the Mid-Nascent Stage, Yu Qingtan let out a soft shout. The Blue Phosphorus Shrimp King that had just turned around froze in place, struck squarely at the junction of its head and torso by the Canglan Water Dragon Break, and was immediately beheaded.
Then, the falling sword twisted, stabbing into its back and plucking out a slightly black thread from the shrimp.
Next, the inner core and the body were collected into the System Space by Yu Qingtan. The Blue Phosphorus Shrimp King, said to be extremely delicious, could be savored when there was time.
The nearby members of the Sea Clan met their bitter ends amid the dense Water Blades. Third Stage spoils of war were gathered by Jia Siwen.
Everything happened too fast, too suddenly.
The cultivators from Songhu Immortal City were still dumbfoundedly watching this somewhat surreal scene, when the fifth Tianfeng was the first to recover, approaching Yu Qingtan to give thanks with a bow.
"Cangqiong Sword Sect, the fifth Tianfeng, thanks Fairy Qingtan for the rescue!"
"Tianfeng Fairy is too polite, slaying the Sea Clan is what I should do."
In her heart, Tianfeng Fairy felt a bitter sweetness. Both being prodigies, why was the gap in strength so vast? "With Wu Di before and Qingtan after, when would her time come?"
The two women exchanged a few more polite words, and only then did the cultivators from Songhu Immortal City come around. Yu Qingtan instructed them to collect the bodies of the Second Stage Sea Clan, to divide according to their prior defensive contributions.
The cultivators from the Immortal City felt even more grateful to Qingtan, offering distant thanks before going to collect their spoils of war. Explore stories at NovelBin.Côm
Yu Qingtan learned from the fifth Tianfeng that she had already cleared more inland areas of the region, so Qingtan prepared to bid farewell and continue her search along the coastline.
"Fairy Qingtan, please wait a moment, there’s a public case that needs your witness. Fu Xinghan, get your ass over here!"
At that moment, the fifth Tianfeng said to Qingtan and then shouted in a certain direction.
Yu Qingtan, curious, did not leave immediately.
A middle-aged cultivator dressed in a white robe, looking like a scholar, came flying reluctantly; he was also a Golden Core Cultivator.
"Fu has met Tianfeng Fairy and Fairy Qingtan! Thanks to the two fairies’ intervention, our Songhu Immortal City was spared from being overrun by the Sea Clan!" The middle-aged cultivator said humbly and respectfully.
"Hmph, Fu Xinghan, you think that by coming here and no one would know your good deeds. Thirty years ago, you and the direct descendant of the Hus from Tian Quan Immortal City, Hu Xiujuan, became dao companions. Hu Xiujuan was deeply affectionate towards you, and you being a Loose Cultivator with a Three-Spirit Root, had it not been for the Hus providing you with vast cultivation resources, how could you have progressed so rapidly in your cultivation.
Latterly, after Hu Xiujuan suffered deviation from her cultivation and became somewhat idiotic, you actually instigated her to steal her grandmother’s Storage Ring, left for her family as a closed-door cultivation legacy, and then you took it and disappeared.
You advanced to the Golden Core Stage thanks to the resources in the Storage Ring, but after the old ancestor of the Hus closed-door cultivation fell, the Hus declined due to the loss of a large amount of resources and key heritage, and Hu Xiujuan was subsequently confined by her own family and shortly thereafter died in depression.
Not long ago, a former friend of Hu Xiujuan came to me, asking me to uphold justice for Hu Xiujuan. It cost me a lot of effort to discover that you had changed your name and face, living a carefree life in this Songhu Immortal City," Tianfeng Fairy coldly addressed Fu Xinghan.
Tian Quan Immortal City is a direct branch of the Cangqiong Sword Sect, and in addition, there are the Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tianji, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yao Guang Immortal Cities, which are just some distance away from the mountain gate of the Cangqiong Sword Sect, and Yu Qingtan had not visited them yet.
"Tianfeng Fairy, you’ve got it wrong, I am Fu Youde, and I have nothing to do with that Fu Xinghan."
When the Tianfeng Fairy called out his real name, Fu Xinghan knew something was wrong.
Unfortunately, Tianfeng Fairy was even more formidable than Fairy Qingtan; there was no way he could escape, so he reluctantly resorted to denial, hoping for a stroke of luck.
Standing silently beside the fifth Tianfeng was Fairy Qingtan, her gaze laden with a tinge of anger. With her discerning eyes, she could tell that Tianfeng Fairy probably hadn’t made a mistake.
"You still dare to deny it. You must have heard of my deeds, so today, I’ll let you die with full understanding!"
The tenderness previously visible in the fifth Tianfeng’s eyes had vanished, replaced by a fearsome chilling aura.
As for the fifth Tianfeng’s deeds, both Yu Qingtan and Fu Xinghan were indeed aware, as they had been mentioned on the Hundred Flowers List.
The fifth Tianfeng, born into the declining fifth family, was taken in by the Cangqiong Sword Sect at a young age due to her extremely high aptitude. At the age of fourteen, a Foundation Establishment Stage senior brother from the Cangqiong Sword Sect began to court her, taking meticulous care of her.
The tenderhearted Tianfeng, faced with the pursuit of a handsome, gentle, and reliable senior brother, quickly capitulated despite the dissuasion of her master and fellow disciples, and became inseparable from this senior brother.
On her fifteenth birthday, this senior brother proposed that they cultivate together, which was rejected by the fifth Tianfeng. Although her cultivation was somewhat delayed due to the time spent with her senior brother, her master had repeatedly warned her that her elemental purity was crucial for Foundation Establishment and that she must not engage in joint cultivation before that; she heeded this advice.
Latterly, after repeated rejections, the senior brother became resentful in his heart, though it didn’t show on the surface. It was not until the fifth Tianfeng went into seclusion for Foundation Establishment that he started an affair with another female cultivator.
The fifth Tianfeng, having successfully completed Foundation Establishment, wanted to surprise him and used her newly learned Breath-Concealing Technique to sneak up on him, only to catch him in flagrante delicto with another.
Greatly shocked, the fifth Tianfeng immediately drew her sword and attacked the senior brother and his mistress. Being new to Foundation Establishment, she was not his match at first, but during the fight, she awakened the Sky-Piercing Sword Body and suddenly erupted in power, killing them both on the spot.
As a consequence, the fifth Tianfeng was imprisoned for five years in the Sword Prison of the Cangqiong Sword Sect. Unexpectedly, she gained enormous opportunities while in imprisonment, and her strength and realm advanced by leaps and bounds. However, after her release, the fifth Tianfeng’s personality changed drastically, and she took a special pleasure in troubling faithless lovers.
Her poem on the Hundred Flowers List goes like this:
Her loving eyes subtly shift, her furrowed brows have a deep allure.
With the Tianfeng Sword in hand, she vows to slay all the faithless under heaven.
"Tianfeng Fairy, those things you’re talking about, I really didn’t do them, I am Fu Youde." Although Fu Xinghan was terrified inside, he continued to deny everything on the surface.
"Hmph, do you think your persistent denial is of any use? What you don’t know is that when you left Tian Quan Immortal City, Hu Xiujuan was already pregnant. Unfortunately, due to your departure, her heart turned to ashes. She was confined and eventually lost the baby.
It was a friend of hers who sought out a physician to attend to her, and in doing so, collected a drop of the deceased fetus’s blood. Now, using this blood, I’ve conducted the Bloodline Tracking Technique to find its father, and it led me to you!
Besides, I have many other pieces of evidence, do I need to lay them all out for you?"
A drop of blood appeared on the fingertip of Tianfeng Fairy’s right hand as she spoke to Fu Xinghan with a voice as cold as frost.
Fu Xinghan was scared to death, shaking uncontrollably; he knew his denials were utterly meaningless now. But he was still young and did not want to die.
