âWho do you guys think that senior is? Does he have some connection with the Luo Alliance?â Never getting enough of her new toy, Luo Sifan spoke of serious matters.
Long Jianshan waved her off, âAs if, he mustâve stayed a while in Tianyu and when it got bad he came to this neck of the woods. He just knows some stuff having lived so long. What could possibly be between some Profound Heaven cultivator and our great Luo Alliance? Itâs not even funny.â
âItâs too soon to tell.â
Xie Nianyang spoke seriously, âIâve never seen any Profound Heaven cultivator able to refine 12th grade spiritual weapons to such perfection. Not even with the most sublime skill or immense heart, could one achieve the same at such a low cultivation. Something doesnât smell right.â
âSmells more like a dud. Profound Heaven cultivators are a dime a dozen. He mustâve pushed us since we were out of it and caught us by surprise. Itâs the only possibility that makes sense. He said it himself, focusing on the sword this century and putting cultivation on hold. The way I see it, insights are for those super strong experts. So what the hell is he fumbling around for? Have you seen anyone besides our allianceâs nine venerables deepening their insights? No, theyâre all out there getting stronger.â
âThat may be so, but I still feel an air of deep mystery around the blind swordsmith.â Xie Nianyangâs doubts were prevalent, regardless of Long Jianshanâs disregard.
Long Jianshan rolled his eyes, âYou call that deep? He was only playing us? I refuse to believe thereâs anything worth of note about a cultivator stuck in the Profound Heaven Stage after a damn century!â
As the two were opinionated, Luo Sifan nodded to herself.
[Itâs nigh impossible for a Profound Heaven cultivator to get close to anyone of statusâ¦]
âHa-ha-ha, a 12th grade spiritual weapon and a perfect one at that. I was out doing a little hunting and here I am with the catch of the century!â A cruel and mad laugh jarred their ears.
A bald old man landed not ten meters from them, cackling, âMissie, you sure have guts to flaunt a 12th grade spiritual weapon. Youâre practically begging to be stepped on by flaming otherâs greed. Hand it over if you know whatâs good for youâ¦â
Luo Sifan shivered in fright, tightening her hold on the sword, âWho are you? State your name!â
âYeah, do you have any idea who we are? Are you tired of living to go after our sword?â Long Jianshan shook all over from the mighty aura the man had, but did not forget to flaunt his status.
The bald elder placed his hands on his hips and snickered, âBrats, better not be shaking in your boots at my glorious name. Listen well, for I am the infamous Bald Demon of the western lands!â
âYouâre that degenerate Bald Demon thatâs been burning and murdering with no disregard for life?â Luo Sifan shuddered, âThey say his crimes are endless and that the nine sects couldnât even catch wind of him. Just what is he doing here of all places?â
Xie Nianyang bobbed his head, âIf heâs the real Bald Demon, then heâs in the 7th layer of Genesis Stage. Few in our alliance are his match. This is bad, real bad!â
âHa-ha-ha, now you get it? Then hand it over! And while youâre at itâ¦â The bald manâs eyes shone with desire upon gracing Luo Sifan with a foul gaze, âMiss, why donât we get to know each other better over a couple of days. I cross my heart not to keep you safe.â
âWhat are you doing?â
Long Jianshan jumped to shield Luo Sifan, putting an obvious tough front with all that sweat pouring out of him, âDo you know who we are? You dare touch us? Do you have a death wish?â
âOh, Iâm gushing to know. Well, what makes you so special? Is it scary? Ha-ha-haâ¦âThe bald man was having a blast toying with them.
Long Jianshanâs face twitched, shouting, âListen up and listen well. We are part of the Luo Alliance. You are in the presence of the young miss of the Luo Alliance Head. Touch her and the entire alliance will be after your head!â
âLuo Allianceâs young miss?!â The old man eyes Luo Sifan closer.
Long Jianshan smirked, âAfraid now?â
âThe hell I am!â
The bald guy cackled louder, âWhatâs the Luo Alliance but some oversized gang in the western lands. Since their turf is out, Iâll just go to the other four lands. Besides, no matter how tough the Luo Alliance is, they wonât match the Devil Palace spanning across the whole lands.â
[Devil Palace?]
The trio flinched in fright.
Luo Sifan was startled, âOh no, the Devil Palace? Grandpa Zhuge said Devil Palace, a secret society, has been showing up over the past decades. Itâs teeming with experts. Luo Alliance canât match it. Itâs the strongest hidden power in the world. But theyâre so discreet that they havenât interacted with the powers in the western lands, nor do they want to have anything to do with these devils. But now this vile Bald Demon is from Devil Palace. Weâre so dead!â
The other two froze.
These Luo Alliance princelings got used to throwing their weight around. Now, it seemed, they got the short end of the stick because of it.
They felt so sorry for themselves.
Whoosh~
Three gales blew, rooting the three on the spat. The bald old manâs lustful eyes drunk on the girlâs figure as he walked over, âHe-he-he, Luo Alliance miss, Iâve had yet to have the honor to sample such fine goods. Might as well get the girl and the sword, hi-hi-hiâ¦â
His black hand reached out for Luo Sifanâs delicate face.
âAh! What are you doing?â Luo Sifan shrieked, shedding a tear. The other two raged, âStop right now, dirty old man! What are you doing?â
âHe-he-he, calling me dirty yet asking me what Iâm doing? Just giving her my professional courtesy, ha-ha-haâ¦â Bald Demon grew more excited at their squirming.
Luo Sifan cried out in tears, âNo, no~â
âStop! Stop, you piece ofâ¦â Her friends were watching with bloodshot eyes, powerless to help.
The three Radiant Stage cultivators were at the whims of a Genesis Stage demon, his toys.
Pa!
A loud sound came out of nowhere, followed by a wail as the old man careened through the air. The trio jerked, finding they could move again.
The old man coughed blood trying to get up on shaky legs and bellowing, âWho did that?â
The kids flinched, finally noticing in front a most charming girl with purple hair staring at them with cold indifference.
âItâs you!â
The kids cheered. Rescue had arrived. What came as a shock was knowing the girl was the blind swordsmithâs daughter yet had the power to send the Genesis demon flying.
[Just who is she?]
Qiaoâer ignored their googly eyes and demanded of Bald Demon, âBeat it!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLady, you must not know who I am to butt in, ughâ¦â
Bald Demon was blustering after being attacked, only to choke on his words as he noticed the purple token. He shivered all over and stammered, âY-youâre Sparrowâ¦â
âI told you to beat it! Are you deaf? Or do you want to die here?â As the shiny bird token glimmered under the sunâs glorious light, Qiaoâerâs eyes grew icy.
Gulping hard, the bald man bowed with haste and took off in terror.
The kids could even see his soaked back as he fled.
They turned their incredulous eyes on Qiaoâer.
[She just told off a demon rampaging in the western lands for dozens of years. Who on earth is she? How could a Profound Heaven swordsmith have such an overpowered daughter?]
Qiaoâer turned away.
Luo Sifan rushed to say, âWait!â
âWhat?â
âThank you, miss, for your help. I shall neverâ¦â
âYeah, yeah, Iâm only doing because dad asked.â Qiaoâer had no sympathy, âHe told me to give you a warning. Thereâs always someone better then you out there. Keep your belonging hidden and donât flaunt it. For you have no right to!â
Qiaoâer vanished, leaving the trio gaping.
[Holy hell, just where did we end up? Why do we keep bumping into worldly experts? And who the hell is that blind swordsmith?]
[With the daughter incredible, the father must beâ¦]
The trioâs faces twitched, their faces burning in shame of how they treated Zhuo Fan.
[We acted like clowns. How mortifyingâ¦]
