Seduce The Villainess (GL)

Chapter 278 The Hunter Who Killed Immortals (29)

"What's your name?" Xu Lu asked gently as approached the girl who continued to press her forehead against the ground.

"My... name... is Tang Shu... saintess please... please save my friend..." the girl pleaded desperately.

Xu Lu commended her courage.

Even if the girl in the original Xu Lu's memories was not the one in danger... she still planned to go rescue her.

"Lead the way," Xu Lu calmly spoke as she knelt down and pulled up the girl from the ground.

The round-faced girl gave her a grateful smile and quickly ran in a northern direction.

"Elder I suggest that you follow as well," Xu Lu spoke quietly as she turned to face the elder who was currently holding her injured palm and trying not to groan in pain.

The saintess followed Tang Shu without looking back to see if the elder was following her instructions.

"This way please saintess!" Tang Shu yelled as she ran towards the back of a mountain. Xu Lu easily matched her pace without even breaking a sweat.

She extended her spiritual senses and soon detected five lifeforms around two kilometres away from her current location.

One of the lifeforms was getting weaker by the moment.

"Are they that way?" Xu Lu asked as she pointed in the direction that senses had told her.

"Yes! How did you?" Tan Shu's voice trailed off as Xu Lu unsheathed her sword and stepped on the top of the blade.

She circulated her qi into her weapon and her sword slowly floated upwards in the air before flying off towards the location of the disturbance.

The saintess soon arrived at a clearing that was next to a rushing river. Four cultivators surrounded an injured outer disciple whose robes were stained in blood.

The group attacking the injured disciple consisted of three girls and one boy.

"Why does trash like you dare to attract Senior Brother Lu's attention?" one of the cultivators growled as she raised up her leg and kicked the injured disciple in her stomach.

"A bitch like you with no talent should stay hidden in the shadows..." another yelled and stomped on the disciple's right palm with so much force that Xu Lu could hear bones being cracked.

"I say... why don't we teach her a lesson," the male cultivator grinned wickedly as he picked up the unconscious disciple's body and prepared to fling her in the river.

"Stop!" Xu Lu roared in anger.

Her voice immediately attracted the attention of the four cultivators who looked in the direction of the sound.

The saintess' figure blurred and then vanished from the spot.

She reappeared in front of the male cultivator and send him crashing to the ground with a swift punch to his stomach.

The three female cultivators stepped back in fear and Xu Lu could see the terror in their eyes as they realised who had caught them.

Xu Lu.

The saintess of the Holy Sword Sect.

A figure so powerful and respected that compared to her ordinary outer disciples were mere ants.

Xu Lu did not pay attention to their reactions as she quickly dug into her storage ring and pulled out a grade four healing pill.

It was the only one that she had but she still shoved it into the injured girl's mouth and forced her to swallow.

Seeing this scene... brought back painful memories.

Not from the original Xu Lu but from her first life as Sui Li.

Bullying. Isolation. The fear of being a victim.

Xu Lu shook her head as she tried to drive those painful memories to the back of her mind. Now was not the time to wallow in self- pity.

The girl in her arms gently stirred and finally opened her eyes. She looked around and Xu Lu could see clear confusion in her gaze.

"Where? Where am I? What is this... arghh..." the girl gripped her head in pain and looked as if she was suffering from a massive headache.

"Are you okay?" Xu Lu asked with concern.

Eventually the girl's brows slowly eased, and she took in a few deep breaths before gently exhaling.

Xu Lu gently lowered her down to the ground and turned to face the four cultivators who were still frozen in fear.

The male cultivator had managed to stand up but judging by his trembling knees, it was clear that he was on the verge of collapse.

"The sect rules clearly state that attacking a fellow disciple outside of the sparring ring is grounds for immediate expulsion," Xu Lu slowly spoke.

"No! Listen it's not what it looks like!" a vicious looking girl stepped forward and tried to argue.

"I'm not interested in hearing your excuses," Xu Lu calmly replied as she stretched out her hand and her blade flew into her palm.

She approached the four trembling cultivators and before they could react, her blade stabbed into the middle of their chests.

With four precise strikes, she shattered their dantian cores.

"No... my father is... he is... a..." the vicious looking girl coughed out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground in pain.

Xu Lu reached into her storage ring and pulled out lesser healing pills. They would heal the injured area but that was all.

The scars would remain unless they got higher quality healing medicine.

Xu Lu wanted the scars to serve as a reminder of today. So that they would never forget their actions that led to such consequences.

"Thank you," Bai Lu approached her benefactor and bowed her head.

She did not know why the saintess had helped her but she was grateful for assistance. Who knows what would have happened if she had not shown up.

Was this so-called system even reliable?

The Luck System: [I heard that! Listen I'm not sure what is going on myself...]

The Luck System: [According to the original flow of the story, Xu Lu should be training with her master Lei Ying now.]

The Luck System: [Don't worry though... this minor deviation from the plot is within acceptable range. You should still be able to take her position as saintess.]

Xu Lu could not hear the hidden conversation between Bai Lu and her system but she could tell that the girl was distracted.

It made sense since she had nearly died. The poor girl must be in shock.

Xu Lu opened her mouth to comfort the girl when Tang Shu arrived with the clan elder following closely behind.

Tang Shu rushed over to her friend and gave her a warm hug. Meanwhile the elder's attention was drawn to the four cultivators who were groaning in pain.

"You... you... what did you..." the clan elder stuttered in disbelief and rushed over to the injured disciples lying down on the ground.

"I shattered their dantian cores and expelled them from the sect, Xu Lu coldly replied as she walked up to the elder.

"Do you know what you have done? Jia Wuhan is the daughter of Elder Wuhan! He will not stand for this!" the female elder shrieked in terror.

"Tell him that his daughter has broken the rules of the sect and this is her punishment. If he has any complaints then..." Xu Lu's voice trailed off as a wicked idea formed in her mind.

"He can speak directly to my master."
