My Fairy Growth System

Chapter 319 - 318: The New Year Begins with a Bloody Battle

It was just over a dozen breaths’ of time when the screams and roars within the Blood Sword Sect’s gates gradually subsided, replaced by a deathly silence.

All of the Sea Clan had been slaughtered by the Blood Fiend Sword Prison Formation; even Di Meiji, who was inside the System Space, had been thrown out and killed by the Great Array. Only Yu Qingtan stood alone within the gates of the Blood Sword Sect.

Yu Qingtan looked at the corpses and blood scattered on the ground and couldn’t help feeling a wave of desolation and helplessness. War was always accompanied by death and sacrifice. Perhaps, in the eyes of the Sea Clan, she was nothing but a butcher.

But in the eyes of the human Cultivators, she was the hero who resisted the beast tide, Fairy Qingtan. And that was what she desired.

After calming her mind, Yu Qingtan collected all the inner cores, storage equipment, and the bodies of the Second Stage, Third Stage, and Fourth Stage Sea Clan members into her pouch, the smile on her face growing even wider.

She had made quite a killing; she didn’t even bother to count the Cultivation Resources she had recently obtained. She could freely spend Spirit Stones to cultivate followers for Physician Qing. She had even collected two complete sets of the Innate Five Elements.

Only then did the little rich girl Yu Qingtan understand that having money was indeed so straightforward, plain, and mundane.

After handling everything, Yu Qingtan dug out all the Formation Bases of the Blood Fiend Sword Prison Formation, preparing to pack them up and take them away. She had put a great deal of effort into repairing this Formation and had even provided many materials at her own expense, so naturally, she could not leave it behind.

Everything happened too quickly. By the time Yu Qingtan packed up her things, a few Sea Clan members, returning from hunting, had arrived outside the Blood Sword Sect’s gates. They stared at each other, and then these few strong Sea Clan members at the early Third Stage were stared to death by Yu Qingtan.

Being stared to death was a joke; in actuality, they were eliminated by Yu Qingtan using the Soul Cleansing and Shaking Technique. After adding a few more mosquito legs to her spoils, Yu Qingtan executed the Breath-Concealing Technique and quietly headed towards Jinfu Immortal City.

Because Yu Qingtan even used Bleeding Thousand Miles to rush on her way, she returned to Jinfu Immortal City in less than an hour.

Even though it was New Year’s Eve, the atmosphere in this frontline city was rather somber. Red lanterns were sparse on the streets. Although the Cultivation World didn’t place as much emphasis on the New Year as the Mortal Realm did, it was still an excellent opportunity for friends and family to gather.

Yu Qingtan quietly returned to the city and first went to report her work to Star River Venerable, but she didn’t mention the extermination of the Sea Clan inside Blood Sword Sect. From Star River Venerable, she learned that Jia Siwen and Tianfeng Fairy had indeed returned first, and the surviving Cultivators of Yatu Immortal City had been taken away and resettled by the Cangqiong Sword Sect.

"Elder, I investigated Blood Sword Sect and found a potentially useful piece of information. The day after tomorrow, the Sea Clan will launch some kind of operation at the Cangqiong Sword Sect. The Sea Clan claim that it will be the time for the decisive battle.

I feel that the Sea Clan is brewing a big conspiracy, and I hope Elder can pass this on to Venerable Shenfeng and the Venerables of the Cangqiong Sword Sect to be more vigilant."

Upon hearing this, Star River Venerable’s expression became serious, and he said, "Launching at Cangqiong Sword Sect! Indeed, that’s very suspicious. I’ll go inform the Venerables right now! Qingtan, you go and rest!"

After saying this, Star River Venerable turned into a streak of starlight and disappeared.

Although Yu Qingtan was a prodigy, she didn’t have the authority to contact the Venerables directly since she was neither from Wendao Sect nor the one with real power in resisting the beast tide, so she had to seek help from Star River Venerable.

After Star River Venerable left, Yu Qingtan returned to the small courtyard previously arranged for her by the Cangqiong Sword Sect.

"Miss/Qingtan, you’re back!" Xiang Yiyi, Yan Xi, Gao Yue, Ni Shuyu, Wen Jin, Shui Qingrou, Tianfeng Fairy, and Jia Siwen were all there. Seeing Yu Qingtan return, they were all very surprised.

Jia Siwen had told the others about Yu Qingtan’s actions, and while Xiang Yiyi and the rest had grown numb to Qingtan’s indiscriminate killing and had become accustomed to it, they were still very worried about Yu Qingtan going alone to investigate the Blood Sword Sect.

Yu Qingtan had also rushed back to celebrate the New Year with the girls. Although she regarded the six girls as assistants to train for the future, their long time together had fostered deep feelings.

"I’m back, sorry for worrying you! Tianfeng Fairy, welcome as a guest!"

"Qingtan, you and I have also fought shoulder to shoulder. Although I’m far from your equal, I already consider you a friend. Friends need not be so polite, just call me Tianfeng," said Tianfeng Fairy.

"I was wrong, Tianfeng. Then let me apologize with this!" said Yu Qingtan, as she took out a chunk of meat the size of a small hill.

"Blue Phosphorus Shrimp King meat, today I’m in for a treat!" Tianfeng Fairy laughed.

Xiang Yiyi and the others also looked at the meat with longing, while Jia Siwen felt in his heart that with so many beautiful legs as companions, he had no regrets in this life!

"Today, we feast on seafood to celebrate New Year’s Eve and the New Year!"

Yu Qingtan declared.

...

In a certain Immortal City within the territory of Extreme Path Demon Sect, also within a small courtyard.

"This is so delicious! Sob sob, how can there be such delicious shrimp meat in the world!"

With a skewer of grilled shrimp meat in each hand, Shen Wanning cried out in emotion.

"It’s okay, there are still plenty of delicious things to come!"

Physician Qing was grilling shrimp meat with Spiritual Fire, smiling as she spoke.

"Qingtan, you are really too good to me!"

Finishing the shrimp in her hands in two bites, Shen Wanning couldn’t help but pounce forward, wrapping her arms around Yu Qingtan’s waist.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. You’re a grand Golden Core real person, and you’re still acting like a child."

"I’ll be nonsensical, hehe!"

Ignoring the disruptive Shen Wanning, Yu Qingtan’s mind, however, was filled with the image of little Tao.

"I wonder how he’s getting on in the Yunhua Mountain Range?"

...

Blood Shadow Demon Sect, within a certain cave dwelling.

A man and a woman were exchanging techniques.

"Fang Ling, let me go, you bastard!"

"I’ve told you, stop thinking about causing trouble for Qingtan!"

"Qingtan, Qingtan, all you know is Qingtan. Then why did you seek me out? Hmm—uh—you bastard!"

"Bai Junjun, since you’ve become my woman, Fang Ling’s, you can only be my woman!"

"You bastard, sob, son of a bitch, uh, bastard!"

...

Time, like fine sand in a sea of sand, seemed to trickle slowly but quickly slipped by, reaching the first day of the year 7102 on the Lichuan Calendar, and Yu Qingtan turned eighteen.

On this day, the Southeast Region’s outer sea defense line was calm and tranquil. Until the deep night, the second day’s early morning arrived, when twenty Fifth Stage Sea Clan Venerables appeared all at once, intending to attack the outer sea defense line.

Seven Divinity Transformation Honorables from Cangqiong Sword Sect, Venerable Shenfeng from Wendao Sect, Venerable Sikong Zhaixing from Star Moon Sect, Venerable Yu Que from All-World Academy, and Venerable Huang Shanzhi from the Great Mist Mountain Huang Family stepped forward, stopping the Sea Clan.

Among them, the seven Honorables from Cangqiong Sword Sect relied on the Middle-grade Dao Artifact, the Seven Star Ladle, to form the Minor Seven Stars Sword Array, facing off against twelve Fifth Stage Sea Venerables, including six at the Fifth Stage Middle Period.

Venerable Shenfeng, Venerable Sikong Zhaixing, Venerable Yu Que, and Venerable Huang Shanzhi each faced two opponents, holding their own.
