Chapter 50: Heaven’s Favored Daughter |
At the Blood Garment Tower within the Skeleton Mountain Market.
Lu Yang had just withdrawn his consciousness from the Myriad Spirits Banner when he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes, his spiritual platform clouded. He furrowed his brows slightly and looked toward the distant sky.
In the next moment, he rose into the air on a stream of light and arrived at the edge of the market.
He saw a brilliant light shooting across the sky, swift as fire and lightning, arriving at the market gate before it receded. A tall, valiant woman stepped out.
“So, it’s a fellow Daoist from the Sword Pavilion.”
Lu Yang, having studied the “Divine Firmament Sword Control True Formula,” recognized her background at a glance. He cupped his hands and bowed, saying, “I am Lu Yang. May I ask for your name, fellow Daoist?”
“Jade Pivot Yun Miaozhen.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang narrowed his eyes. After all, Yun Miaozhen and Yun Miaoqing—such similar names naturally led to associations.
“Are you here to take back your sect member?”
With a casual gesture, he directly pulled Yun Miaoqing out from the Blood Garment Tower and threw her before Yun Miaozhen.
“Miss Miaoqing has not suffered any grievances in the Saint Sect. Although she is nominally my cauldron, I have never harvested her over the years, so she remains a virgin. If you wish to take her back, please do as you please. My cultivation is shallow, so I won’t see you off.”
In Lu Yang’s view, he had no enmity with the Sword Pavilion.
After all, he not only preserved Yun Miaoqing’s life but also her chastity. As the leader of the righteous path, Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion wouldn’t make things difficult for him.
However, he soon realized he was mistaken.
“Miaoqing... still a virgin?”
Yun Miaozhen’s beautiful eyes lowered, her gaze falling on Yun Miaoqing. Yet, instead of joy, she showed a hint of disdain and helplessness.
In the next second, she sighed deeply:
“What a pity! Miaoqing, you won’t survive this tribulation!”
Upon hearing this, not only Lu Yang but even Yun Miaoqing was stunned, her face full of disbelief: “Sister... what do you mean?”
“You didn’t receive the true transmission, so you don’t understand.”
Yun Miaozhen shook her head: “You lack fortune and destiny, yet you forcibly sought immortal fate. Originally, you would have faced three disasters and nine tribulations. Failing any one of them would result in the loss of your Dao and death. Therefore, I specifically asked Master to combine your tribulations into a single ten-year great calamity.”
“This ten-year great calamity was your ten years trapped in the Demon Sect.”
“During these ten years, if you had endured all the humiliation, your red lips tasted by thousands, yet still maintained a steadfast Dao heart, unwavering in your resolve, the tribulation would have been considered passed.”
“Unfortunately... you are still a virgin!”
“Being a virgin and not having suffered humiliation means the tribulation hasn’t lessened at all; it might even intensify!”
At this point, Yun Miaozhen looked at Lu Yang, her eyes filled with killing intent: “This demon ruined your cultivation. He appears benevolent but harbors malicious intent and should be executed!”
“...”
Lu Yang had to admit he was dumbfounded.
Yun Miaoqing was even more unable to accept it, her lips trembling: “So, the reason I fell into the hands of the Demon Sect ten years ago, becoming a cauldron of the Demon Sect...”
“Naturally, it was all my plan.”
Yun Miaozhen nodded: “Without this, you would have no hope of establishing your foundation in this life. You are my sister; naturally, I must consider your well-being. This was all for your own good.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang was speechless.
Damn it, the righteous path has lunatics!
If Lu Yang had previously held some admiration for the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion, the renowned leader of the righteous path, now he felt nothing at all.
Better to stay in the Saint Sect.
Every disciple in the Holy Sect is a talent; I absolutely love it here!
“Come, return with me.”
On the other side, Yun Miaozhen paid no attention to Lu Yang and Yun Miaoqing’s expressions, saying loudly: “I will think of another way to help you pass this great calamity...”
“I won’t!”
Faced with Yun Miaozhen’s persuasion, Yun Miaoqing instinctively took a step back, looking at her sister as if she were a stranger.
After all, she never imagined that the experience of falling into the Demon Sect’s hands ten years ago, nearly leading her to despair, was orchestrated by her own sister. If not for meeting Lu Yang, who preserved her life and chastity, she might have been harvested into medicinal dregs, dying in some corner!
“...Listen to me.”
Seeing Yun Miaoqing’s reaction, Yun Miaozhen frowned slightly: “You haven’t learned great divine abilities, nor do you understand cause and effect, so it’s naturally hard for you to comprehend my intentions.”
“...Intentions?”
Yun Miaoqing took another step back, her tone filled with hatred: “Setting me up to be thrown into the Demon Sect, letting me be humiliated and harvested—this is your intention for me?”
“I am following cause and effect, acting on behalf of Heaven. When you achieve success in the immortal path in the future, you will naturally thank me.”
Yun Miaozhen’s tone was calm.
In her view, her actions were entirely appropriate, all in accordance with the natural order and destiny.
Seeing Yun Miaoqing still wanting to argue, she simply waved her hand, and a brilliant light enveloped Yun Miaoqing, knocking her unconscious and casually placing her beside her.
“Words are wasted when opinions differ. I won’t argue with you now.”
After doing all this, she looked at Lu Yang again.
“Why are you looking at me, fellow Daoist Yun?” Lu Yang raised an eyebrow.
Yun Miaozhen’s beautiful eyes gazed over, her expression indifferent, and she said lightly: “You deliberately ruined Miaoqing’s cultivation. I wish to borrow something from you as compensation.”
Lu Yang laughed loudly upon hearing this: “You’re not thinking of borrowing my fine head, are you?”
His words were full of sarcasm.
Yun Miaozhen nodded slightly, not angered, but her phoenix eyes narrowed, revealing a chilling killing intent: “If you’re unwilling, don’t blame me for eliminating demons to uphold the Dao.”
With that, she raised her delicate hand!
In an instant, a clear light illuminated ten miles around. It was a crystal-clear, glass-like magical sword, its blade reflecting the surrounding mountains and rivers.
“Do you really think I fear you?”
Lu Yang laughed proudly, then turned and leaped, instantly transforming into a stream of light, hiding within the market. The Hundred Bones True Formation and Sword Formation Diagram activated instantly.
A hidden dragon in the abyss—who can kill me?
Seeing this, Yun Miaozhen smiled coldly, showing no hesitation.
