Young Noble Be Monster Slaying

In a place with clear mountains and beautiful waters, the air was filled with spiritual energy, and the fragrance of exotic flowers and herbs lingered. Amidst the flower and grass clusters stood a thatched cottage, looking like a paradise isolated from the world.

Yet, a heart-wrenching scream pierced the tranquil air.

"Here," said a burly man dressed in black as he approached, holding a jade plate.

On the disc, traces of milky white liquid swirled, with two golden eyeballs floating inside, still dripping with fresh blood.

It was quite an unsettling sight.

"Did you not knock him unconscious before taking them?" asked a delicate-looking woman as she took the jade plate from him.

Though she looked somewhat older, her skin remained fair and her eyes appeared gentle. With every step, her movements were so smooth and graceful, it felt like she was boneless.

"Forgot."

The burly man's skin was the color of aged bronze. He had a cold expression as he stared straight at the woman, appearing a little dull.

"Oh, how foolish," she chided softly, a look of pity in her eyes. "That must have hurt terribly. It’s no wonder he screamed so loudly."

"In that case, I’ll kill him, and he won’t feel any more pain."

"Go ahead, but give him a quick and painless death," the woman instructed.

The burly man obeyed and left.

At this moment, someone else in the room laughed heartily. "Ever since that Xie guy started following you, it seems like his brain’s been getting slower and slower."

"Well, if you sacrificed yourself everyday, your divine soul would become murky," the woman replied. "I can restore his lifespan and cultivation, but I can’t replace the fragments of the soul he’s lost. Haaaaa… I need to find a way to treat him."

"Lady Yishuo, your skill in medicine is second to none so I am sure you can do it," the person responded.

The person lying on the white bed appeared to be a handsome, noble youth. However, there was a silver scale on his forehead, and his eyes were two terrifying, blood-filled holes.

He was none other than Ji Lingjue, who had narrowly escaped from the Whale-Riding Immortal in the Sword-Hanging Kingdom. He had sacrificed his Xuan Yuan Eyes, which had been a crucial source of his power for many years, to survive. After escaping, he immediately sought out a healer for his injuries.

"And you…" the woman referred to as Lady Yishuo said softly, "you know his mind isn’t that sharp, so stop mocking him all the time. What if he hears you, and it hurts his feelings?"

"Oh, Lady Yishuo, you are both beautiful and kind," Ji Lingjue remarked with a faint smile.

Apart from the Celestial Master, the highest-ranking figure in the Celestial Charm Sect was undoubtedly Lady Yishuo. The reason was simple. In their line of work, injuries were inevitable, so they naturally treated healers with great respect. After all, no one would gamble with their own life. ꭆΑꞐô𐌱ĚṠ

"You should be more careful next time. To replace your Xuan Yuan Eyes this time, we had to capture a member of the Ji Family again. They are your kin. How can you bear it?" the woman asked as she worked on the eyeballs on the jade plate.

"I don’t care," Ji Lingjue scoffed. "I’d be happy if the whole Ji Family were wiped out."

"If they’re all gone, where will you find another pair of eyes next time?" Lady Yishuo replied. "The heavens show mercy to all life. You can’t just kill without reason."

With a look of compassion that seemed to encompass all of life, Lady Yishuo gently placed her hand on Ji Lingjue’s shoulder and said softly, "Bear with it."

A rush of strong spiritual power coursed through him, restoring his cultivation and vitality, and instantly healing his severe injuries.

This was the use of the Longevity of Heaven and Earth!

In the great battle at Mount Shu battle, the Whale-Riding Immortal had used this same divine technique to help Chu Liang, though his focus had been on replenishing foundational qi. Lady Yishuo, however, prioritized lifespan in her healing.

Despite transferring such an immense amount of life source, she showed no signs of discomfort.

Once Ji Lingjue’s injuries were stabilized, Lady Yishuo drew a tiny gleaming saber and said, "This might hurt a bit…"

Slash.

With a single slash of her blade, even Ji Lingjue, the ruthless man who had killed his own parents, let out a howl of pain. "Ahhhhhh!"

…

There were screams ripping through the air elsewhere too.

In a valley eight hundred li east of Mount Shu, agonized screams echoed through the valley.

At first, several sword beams descended into the valley, a sight that the nearby villagers had become used to. Since the rise of Red Cotton Peak of Mount Shu, the sight of flying swords passing through the area had become increasingly common. The cultivators were either guests of Red Cotton Peak or couriers for the Four Extremities Hall.

The sword beams that landed revealed the robes of Red Cotton Peak, marking them as a group escorting valuable items. The one leading the group was an honored ally at the sixth realm, a clear indication of the immense value of the item.

At the beginning of Red Cotton Peak’s delivery service, there were frequent hijackings. Though buyers were rigorously screened and Four Extremities Hall kept the routes confidential, no secrets remained entirely safe. With enough dedication and patience, intercepting a delivery team was possible.

However, the Red Cotton Peak, backed by a powerful force and immense resources, quickly hired more individuals of higher cultivation to handle the delivery of valuable items. In addition, any outlaws daring to provoke the Mount Shu Sect faced the most forceful retaliation.

At that time, Little Chu Yi implemented a dual strategy. One approach leveraged Mount Shu Sect’s influence to relentlessly hunt down and eliminate any bandits who dared to challenge Red Cotton Peak’s authority.

The other approach was carried out covertly and remained unknown to many high-ranking members of Red Cotton Peak. It involved the use of criminals. Bounties that exceeded the cost of the treasure would be offered to kill not only the bandits but also their sects and families. This was widely known among the criminals in the world of immortality cultivation.

Before long, everyone in the martial world knew of Red Cotton Peak’s ruthlessness. Unlike the Mount Shu Sect, which was known for upholding righteousness and justice, Red Cotton Peak followed the Silver Sword Peak’s philosophy. Much like Di Nufeng, they acted without hesitation or concern for the cost or consequences, only asking where their target was.

The stronger the cultivator, the harder it was to conceal their identity. And so, Mount Shu Sect always had a way to track them down, and soon, no one dared covet Red Cotton Peak’s treasures.

Thus, the honored allies of the Four Extremities Hall were able to relax when they were resting. Three of them sat in the same spot, regulating their qi circulation, while the other two stood watch, keeping an eye on the front and rear. Even the two using their divine senses to scan the surroundings were casually chatting and laughing.

Just as they assumed all was calm, a shadowy figure darted past.

嗖——Whoosh!

"Hm?"

Even the two cultivators using their divine senses couldn’t fully detect the shadow. They exchanged glances, realizing something was off.

Just as they were about to alert their companions, who were regulating their qi circulation, the shadow suddenly reappeared.

噗——Splat!

One of the cultivators had his chest pierced, revealing a ferocious cyan dragon claw. As the claw retracted, the violent and menacing face of a young man could be seen through the gaping wound.

"You—" another cultivator shouted, recoiling in shock and retreating mid-air. "We’re with—"

"Hehe…" The attacker cackled wickedly. "You’re from Red Cotton Peak, right? You’re exactly who I’m looking for."

At this moment, the escorts, including the powerful sixth-realm cultivator meditating in the rear, noticed something amiss. They sprang to their feet, swords in hand.

Upon seeing the young man’s face, the leader hesitated in shock. "You’re…"

"You recognize me, don’t you?" The youth’s gaze was sinister and defiant. "Put down what you’re transporting, and I’ll let you live."

The sixth-realm cultivator hesitated for a moment, then firmly replied, "Alright."

The other cultivators seemed to disagree. "But—"

The leader spoke solemnly, "Do you know who he is? I saw him six years ago at the Assembly of Immortal Sects. He’s Qi Lin’er of Penglai!"

"That monster…"

"What?"

At the mention of this name, the cultivators gasped and no longer objected to the leader’s decision. The Red Cotton Peak had given clear instructions: if faced with an unstoppable foe, abandoning the cargo was the prudent choice. Someone else from the Mount Shu Sect would retrieve it later.

However, just as the leader placed the treasure box on the ground and prepared to leave, Qi Lin'er raised his brow sharply.

"What are you trying to do?!" the sixth-realm cultivator questioned, sensing something wrong with Qi Lin’er’s flow of qi.

He raised his sword, unleashing countless beams of swordlight that formed a protective barrier around his group.

At that moment, Qi Lin’er’s figure flickered, charging through the barrier of swordlight. The beams struck his body with metallic clangs, but his scales rendered them ineffective.

Half of his body was covered in azure scales, giving him the appearance of a half-dragon, half-human monster. Even half of his face was shielded by the tough scales, and his golden eyes burned fiercely.

"You really thought you could leave?" Qi Lin'er said with a sneer. "How naive…"

Slash, slash, slash!

As his dragon claws slashed through the air, blood splattered. With his terrifyingly indestructible physique, none of the cultivators could last a single exchange.

In mere moments, all of them were dead.

"Hah."

After slaughtering the group, Qi Lin'er didn’t even glance at the treasure on the ground. Instead, he casually raised his foot and stomped down.

Smash.

The treasure box crumpled beneath his foot.

Then, he cast his gaze toward Mount Shu and a cold smirk tugged at his lips. "Let’s see if you’ll come this time."
