The morning mist clung to the stones like ghosts reluctant to leave .
Stumbling on the stones because of her heels, a young girl clothed well with some metal plates protecting her arms smoothly walked through the huge crowd of people
She resembled an artwork come to life. Her soft features were framed by midnight black hair, and her robes were the color of purple moonlight snow, yet her eyes betrayed a sharpness, a wildness caged under lashes too delicate to belong to someone with such wrath inside.
In fact, a number of young talents from fifteen houses and the royal clan had congregated here, as anticipated given the inauguration of the dream domain, and surprisingly, the majority of them were males.
Women, even those who cultivated to level of Xuan Shi, stayed mostly inside the boundaries of their homes and did not participate in warlike situations.
This gave Xiulan a headache. Why were women solely expected to take care of the home and why did they have to dress up to marry a man from a more powerful family?
In front of everyone, she had the courage to puncture the chest of his future spouse, the young Bai family master.
Let her heart burn with anger if everyone believes she is a domestic item.
She waved a strand of hair from her face towards the back of her ear , indeed she was extraordinary then why among thousands of women in the fifteen families would the Gu clan choose her to be the bride of their future patriarch .
The majority of women would sacrifice their lives to marry into a wealthy family like the Bai, who control the Soaring Heavens Sect. They are not only a powerful family but also a solid source of support.
Due to their power and strong hold over the eastern plains of the empire, it is regarded as the second most powerful family in the realm.
. To Xiulan, this is all about gloating like a wolf among sheep, believing that others are too weak to rip your skin off.
The Bai family actually placed a prize of 10,000 gold coins, three black iron ores, and a soul-condensing elixir for whoever saw her after she pierced the young master's chest. These items are extremely uncommon in the eastern plains, but if the Bai family is prepared to break into its own vault and distribute such prizes, she must be careful not to draw attention to herself.
Her beauty was another issue; despite wearing a veil to hide her appearance, few men's eyes ever left her body. If this persisted, she would undoubtedly be found since the Bai family would undoubtedly send strong men to assist in the hunt.
Because of the growing aura in the region, which indicated that the dream domain was ready to open and the Bai family's danger was still present . It was necessary for Xiulan to increase her power from two domain Xuan shi to around seven domain Xuan shi.
What a possibility that the dream domain that opens once every thirty years is opening at his time of need, and she would have the opportunity to protect herself if she were to accomplish such an improvement.
Since the dream domain's inception had not fully attained god status, it is more of a sealed field or domain. With every deity's fall, spatial regions would arise as a result of the collapse of their great power; these places were known as god realms. Because of the pure heavenly qi that was stored there, these spatial areas held numerous riches and would aid cultivators in making their breakthrough.
It would take a while to gain power from one domain lord to another, up to nine domain lord, but strong men did not care about the dream domain because it didn't aid in their cultivation because of the restrictions on which it was built upon .
The elders and strong men would not pursue her inside since the dream realm only admitted powerhouses below the Xuan Hong level, but they would undoubtedly send pupils to look for her.
She stared up at the gloomy sky, where the mountain seal array was gradually fading and threatening to detonate at any moment. Distracted, she collided with someone and fell to the ground; the terrain was rocky and pointed, and numerous sharp stones tore the lines of her palms, leaving trails of blood down her hands.
She glanced at the blood in her palm as if she had seen a ghost. The old memory of his fiance's blood soaking her flesh came racing back as she began to tremble. Everything appeared to have happened in the morning, the splashing of blood across her face.
Young miss!
Young miss !
The sound appeared to come from a distance, but it quickly became louder.
Xiulan tightened her fists and glanced up at the outstretched hand in front of her.
Young miss !
It took her a moment to grasp the guy's words, but she quickly came back to reality, and the picture of the Bai family's emblem rapidly filled her eyes; the person she had truly bumped into was a member of the Bai family.
Xiulan forced herself to get up, perhaps run away before she was discovered, but a burst of wind caused her veil to fall off as she stood; she grasped it as it dropped off her face, showing a piece of her face.
However, it was still sufficient to cause the air around the individual to become motionless.
Young lady from the Zhenlong clan.
Xiulan's eye movement and velocity came to a standstill just as the words left the guy's mouth; she had already been detected.
The disciple of the Bai family acted swiftly, turning to firmly grasp Xiulan's hand.
There was silence ,no scream was made as
she looked at the trails of blood running down the guy's neck but there was no pity in her beautiful eyes ,she looked more of a mad woman with a blade stained by blood
Her 60 cm crescent-shaped moon blade chopped off the guy's arm vertically up to his neck with pinpoint accuracy. It was my first time killing a human being, yet it seemed normal.
What the Bai family did to her and her family, even if he murdered a million of them, would not be enough to erect a statue worth remembering for decades, and as the saying goes, everything is fair in love and battle.
Stabbing her fiance, killing an innocent guy, and the Bai family murdering her family members were all justifiable. Every wrongdoing they committed was just, and when it comes to retaliation, it should be head for head, arm for arm, and eye for eye.
Every expense has a cost, and the Bai family ought to foot the bill for purchasing her hatred.
Even with the numerous attacks on the zhenlong family members , xiulan wouldn't have to worry about her family directly being attacked by the Bai family . Surely, strong men also exist in the zhenlong family even though it tops the eighth position among the major families of haoyue empire .
Xiulan straightened her back ,she could still hear the hissing sound of her moon blade cutting through the air ,she turned around and glared at the crowd staring at her .
She swept her moon blade to the left, cleaning away the bloodstains.
"Who else dares?" The words came out with such bitterness that they pierced through the air like a sword.
Saying such a phrase would instantly start a fight given her power at merely two domains of Xuan Shi, but someone who truly has the intent to harm someone on Soaring Sky Sect, and particularly a member of the Bai family, undoubtedly has a trump card behind them.
The audience appeared to hold their breath; such executions were typical because many spirit farmers battled under regular conditions. Most people were startled when this young girl really hacked off the head of a devotee of the Soaring Sky sect.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Everyone's focus was instantly distracted as the mountain seal array finally exploded upwards from the Crater Lake, which is located 100 meters below the surface. This caused three air ripples to blanket the atmosphere and sent a pillar of light surging through the seal array.
The divine seal is about to open.
Everyone sprinted in the direction of the entrance.
Xiulan looked back at the body on the ground and considered the possibility that he had a family, but the knowledge that he was a member of the Bai family dispelled any remorse she could have had. Everyone in the Bai family was her adversary, and retribution was certain for anybody who came into her line of sight, regardless of age
Her grip tightened on her moon blade forged of silver light glimmering faintly even under the dull sky .
With a sudden burst of speed,her body launched forward like a lightning bolt split the heavens . Her feet barely kissed the ground,she was faster than an eye could catch . Holding her moon blade with reverse grip ,the blade arched behind her like q silver crescent .
Shw spun once ,her feet sliding on the earth ,and then —
Frost wind sweep .
From its curved edge ,a wide arc of compressed wind swept forward like a crescent wave . The gust didn't cut — it didn't need to ,it was a force of motion,not destruction . The arc slammed into the crowd ahead like a tidal wave, lifting Bodies gently but powerfully into the air .
Dozens were caught in its sweep ,their feet torn off the ground as they tumbled backwards or to the sides .
She was creating more enemies than friends as a result of her actions, but she did not even hesitate; her dream realm was too valuable to ignore. Her pace allowed her to be among the first to reach the edge in a matter of seconds.
Then, she leaped.
