Chapter 77: The Green Lotus Swordsman Is on Her Way

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Whoosh!

The sword streaked across the sky like a rainbow.

The strong wind blew the woman’s long hair, revealing a beautiful and refined face with a hint of heroic spirit. Her eyebrows were like swords and her eyes were like stars. If she was dressed as a man, she would definitely be an elegant Young Master. She was wearing a green dress embroidered with purple lotus patterns, and her sleeves were fluttering. Her expression was solemn with a murderous aura.

It was the very highly discussed and even abuzz protagonist of the rumor — The Green Lotus Swordsman of the Taiqing Pavilion, Shen Sifan.

The two great Daoist sects had always been mentioned in the same breath.

Just as the Jade Mirage Sect had the ethereal and cold Ling Hua, the Taiqing Pavilion also had the heroic and valiant Shen Sifan, who was as straight as a green lotus.

These two women could be said to be the best in Haotian Taoism and were often compared with their peers. Although they had never met each other for various reasons, they had been enemies for many years.

As the Green Lotus Swordsman of the Taiqing Pavilion, Shen Sifan was not allowed to leave the Taiqing Pavilion before he had mastered the seventh level of the Green Lotus Sword Song.

The Green Lotus Sword, as one of the three most powerful swords of the Taiqing Pavilion, was mainly used for killing, so it needed a swordsman to suppress it. If the killing Qi was not stabilized before the seventh level, it would be very easy for the sword to go berserk.

But now, Shen Sifan had suddenly come out of seclusion. Ignoring the obstruction of her Pavilion Master and brother, as well as a group of people from the Taiqing Pavilion, she barged out of the Taiqing Pavilion and rode her sword in a very clear direction. Along the way, those who wanted to stop her were all seriously injured by her sword.

It caused the Immortal cultivation world to speculate and clamor.

Some people said that Shen Sifan had gone to seek revenge. They said that many years ago, she had an enemy that she had vowed to defeat. Later on, she cultivated hard and even insisted on practicing the most difficult Green Lotus Sword Art in order to defeat the enemy.

Some people said that Shen Sifan could not suppress her murderous aura and had gone berserk. She could not control it, so she had broken out of seclusion. She needed to be contained quickly, otherwise it would definitely lead to a disaster.

Some people even thought that Shen Sifan wanted to follow the example of the first Green Lotus Swordsman, to stop killing by killing. He challenged all the sects along the way to hone his will and swordsmanship, to forge a sharp spirit with his reputation, to forge a sword heart, and to break through the barrier of cultivation.

As a result, there were even some outstanding people of the same generation who specially came to challenge her.

Shen Sifan had already defeated and injured six or seven of such contestants along the way, greatly hindering her progress.

There were many young heroes who claimed to be elegant and charming, wanting to take this opportunity to leave a deep impression on the fairy that they had admired for a long time. However, in most cases, they were all beaten up like melons and vegetables.

In the remaining few cases, they were instantly killed without even having the chance to exchange blows.

This kind of challenge was tacitly approved by the various sects, so there would be no revenge even if she was injured, and the elders would not take action.

However, in fact, these conjectures were not the truth.

The truth that was concealed under the layers of rumors was that the small sect Water Moon Dock, which had always been on the edge of the cultivation world, had suddenly caught two demon sect spies. This kind of astonishing news spread and caused a slight ripple in the cultivation world that had been calm for a long time.

Everyone was enjoying the show and discussing the rise of the demonic sect.

And among all this information, there was a matter that wasn’t too big or too small, and that was a mysterious person called ‘Mr. Junxuan’.

It was rumored that he was the first to discover the traces of the demonic sect’s spy and finally dug out the hidden spy. In the process, he captured the heart of the Water Moon Dock Master’s daughter and was about to get married.

In fact, not many people were paying attention to this at this time. After all, the Immortal cultivation world was so big, and it was normal for a hermit to suddenly appear.

Ning Xiangrong’s appearance was famous only after she became the Dock Master of Water Moon Dock and officially appeared in the field of vision of a large number of cultivators. Now, not many people wanted to pay attention to a Core Formation cultivator.

However, what happened was that Shen Lin, the Pavilion Master of the Taiqing Pavilion, who went to the closed-door cultivation area of the Taiqing Pavilion to have a heart-to-heart chat with Shen Sifan every day, mentioned the demonic sect when they were talking about it.

“Spies from the demonic sect are the hardest to see through. There’s actually someone in this world who can see through it with a single glance. This Mr. Junxuan is definitely not simple.”

A ripple appeared in the pond filled with lotus flowers.

“Junxuan?” Shen Sifan, who had been visualizing and sensing the Green Lotus Sword, suddenly opened his eyes.

“Uh, yes. Recently, the person who got rid of the demon sect’s spy in the Water Moon Dock is now the son-in-law of the Water Moon Dock. It’s not uncommon for a hero to save a beauty. It’s a bit cliché and not too vulgar.” The young Pavilion Master of the Taiqing Pavilion happened to be a gossiper.

“Clang!”

She interrupted Shen Lin’s words.

At that time, Shen Sifan pulled out her Green Lotus Sword, the sword light cold and murderous.

“Son-in-law?” The woman was so angry that she laughed. She stood up slowly and broke the door open. Shen Lin looked at her in shock. Then, she rode her sword and rushed out. No one could stop her.

Thus, there were many subsequent events.

“Since you disappeared, I’ve lost all contact with you. I could only concentrate on cultivating, hoping to defeat you when I see you again one day, and then you can only marry me obediently. Now, I’ve only been in closed-door cultivation for a few years, and you’re already married?!”

However, at this moment, the woman on the flying sword had long black hair and her wide clothes were fluttering in the wind. Her beautiful eyes were like cold stars as she looked down at the mountains and rivers below. In the blink of an eye, she was about to reach the boundary of Water Moon Dock.

“If you’re lying to me, I’ll cut off the thread of love with my sword and cultivate the Sword Dao and abandon all love!”

…

Liu Yuan was packing his things in a hurry.

“I’ve brought all the pills, a few sets of bows and arrows from the secret treasure, some small auxiliary items, a variety of equipment, and Chuichui.”

Liu Yuan placed the orange cat on his shoulder, tidied his clothes, took a deep breath, and prepared to run to the Jade Mirage Sect.

He had already told Ning Xiangrong and Gu Siyin that he might be hunted down. Although Ning Xiangrong was the only one who had a good impression of him, Gu Siyin had always been gentle to Liu Yuan. Knowing that he might have a lot of love debts, she did not react too strongly. She just comforted him gently.

Ning Xiangrong was angry and amused, but she could not let Liu Yuan be killed. Now they were opponents in the eyes of other women. When they realized this, a united front was formed.

Liu Yuan was going to take Gu Chang to the Jade Mirage Sect, and then all the way north to the deserted north and west. He was going to find the Land of Extreme Cold and get a new cultivation method for Ning Xiangrong before she reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

He used a day to arrange his funeral matters and roughly planned the future of the Water Moon Dock and Chiyu Villa. He planned where there were resources and where there were things to avoid. The next day, he left the Water Moon Dock with Chuichui and Gu Chang. He decided to take a detour and head to the southwest of the Central Plains. The Shudi Sword Pavilion’s ‘Sword-watching the Tide’ conference would be held there soon. At that time, he would sneak in and hide before making any plans.

However…

Liu Yuan underestimated Shen Sifan’s determination. He had just left the house happily that day, and he had only walked a hundred miles when a long sword fell from the sky.

Swish!

Buzzzzz —

The long sword that was nailed to the ground less than half a meter away from Liu Yuan was like a mirror, clearly reflecting the cold sweat that was sliding down Liu Yuan’s stiff face.

Above him, a black-haired fairy in a green dress lightly stepped on the hilt of the sword.
