Chapter 63: What’s the Harm in Slaying the Entire World?

Xiu Qingcheng hadn’t wanted to take human form, but if she didn’t, Liu Chenxin probably wouldn’t be able to hear her voice.

Liu Chenxin was quite pretty, but she didn’t know how to use a sword and had ill intentions towards Meng Yingxing.

Regardless of whether what Liu Chenxin had just said was true or not, as a good master who had to vet her disciple’s lifelong happiness, it was naturally impossible for Xiu Qingcheng to allow Liu Chenxin to really be with Meng Yingxing.

She didn’t meet Xiu Qingcheng’s requirements at all!

Just as she had said while holding the sword to Liu Chenxin’s neck: “You’re not worthy of him.”

Liu Chenxin’s gaze moved away from the blade that was only a few millimeters from her and looked up at the sword spirit… lady, who was finally willing to show herself.

The moment she saw Xiu Qingcheng, Liu Chenxin uncontrollably lost her focus for a moment.

The sword spirit in front of her was about the same height as her, with waist-length black and red hair like ink and blood.
On that peerlessly beautiful face, the crimson eyeshadow next to a pair of gray eyes was demonic and stunning.

Even as a woman, Liu Chenxin had to admit that the sword spirit girl in front of her was like the sword in her own hand, beautiful to the point of being sharp, beautiful to the point of being aggressive.

And even more like a passionately blooming red spider lily.

When Liu Chenxin came to her senses, she remembered the shadow she had seen on the corridor of the second floor of the Wuyun Peak side hall that night.

She had thought it was just her eyes playing tricks on her, but now it seemed that the figure was indeed the sword spirit in front of her.

“Are you finally willing to show yourself, Miss Sword Spirit?”

Liu Chenxin smiled faintly, seemingly unafraid that Xiu Qingcheng would cut off her head with a single strike.

“So you are Meng Yingxing’s master? No wonder he has become so powerful these days, even defeating Mò Kǎimíng.”

“It seems you’ve been helping him, haven’t you?”

“You’ve been investigating Meng Yingxing.”

Xiu Qingcheng’s face was cold.
She ignored Liu Chenxin’s questions and didn’t waste any more words with her.

Since she dared to reveal herself, she was naturally not afraid.

The other party was about to step all over her and go after her disciple.
How could she tolerate that?

“What is your purpose? Why are you investigating Meng Yingxing?”

“How old are you? Where do you live? How many people are in your family?”

Xiu Qingcheng asked a series of questions.
Apart from the first two, the rest just came out in a rush.

Liu Chenxin chuckled twice.

“That’s right, I have indeed been investigating Meng Yingxing.”

“It doesn’t matter if I tell you some things. I was investigating the Tianfeng Sect, but as I was investigating, I ended up investigating Meng Yingxing.”

What did she mean, investigating the Tianfeng Sect and ending up investigating Meng Yingxing? What did Meng Yingxing have to do with the Tianfeng Sect?

Xiu Qingcheng frowned, applying a little force with her hand, causing the blade to press a little deeper into the skin of Liu Chenxin’s neck. “Explain. What do you mean, you ended up investigating Meng Yingxing?”

“No comment.”

Liu Chenxin still had a smile on her face, as if she wasn’t the one with the Ting Tian Sword pressed against her neck.

“If you don’t talk, I’ll kill you right now.”

Xiu Qingcheng never hesitated when it came to killing.

“How can you be sure that you can kill me?” Liu Chenxin carefully sized up Xiu Qingcheng.

“You don’t seem to have much spiritual energy on you. I’m afraid Miss Sword Spirit hasn’t been a spirit for many years, have you? You don’t even seem to have the strength of the Sub-Star realm.”

Seeing Liu Chenxin’s fearless demeanor, Xiu Qingcheng knew that she must have some trump card up her sleeve, that she wasn’t as simple as her initial low-grade Faint Star realm strength suggested.

It might also be that Xiu Qingcheng’s weak spiritual energy was what made Liu Chenxin so brazen.

Unfortunately, Liu Chenxin was too young.
She, Xiu Qingcheng, was not as simple as she looked either.

Although her body was constructed of spiritual energy, she did not cultivate spiritual energy, and the swordsmanship she used had nothing to do with it.

The Ting Tian Sword had existed since her reincarnation, and she never knew who had forged it or what materials were used.

But she knew the supreme power the Ting Tian Sword possessed.
However sharp the Ting Tian Sword was, that was how sharp she was.

It was as if someone had told her in her subconscious.

As long as nothing could restrain this spirit body of hers, killing the Liu Chenxin in front of her would be as easy as flipping her hand.

Faced with Liu Chenxin’s provocation, Xiu Qingcheng sneered and suddenly twisted the Ting Tian Sword at Liu Chenxin’s neck.

In an instant, the sword intent surged, and a sharp, ringing sound exploded in the room.

Liu Chenxin screamed unexpectedly and stumbled to the ground.

She sat on the floor, her face pale, completely devoid of her earlier smugness.

Xiu Qingcheng’s sword had moved away and hadn’t touched Liu Chenxin, but the fabric of her sleeve and a few strands of her hair had been torn apart by the scattered sword qi, and a gruesome gash on her arm was bleeding profusely.

Liu Chenxin knew that she had been rash this time.

The sword spirit of Meng Yingxing’s sword was far more powerful than she had imagined.

With just that one move, Xiu Qingcheng had made her feel the fear of death.

“I’m not like that foolish disciple Meng Yingxing. I don’t have that much patience. Tell me everything you know about him, down to the last detail.”

“Otherwise, with the next strike, you’ll be ‘holding your head’ and crying, Senior Sister Liu.”

Xiu Qingcheng said coldly, pressing the Ting Tian Sword against Liu Chenxin’s neck again.

Liu Chenxin suddenly laughed again and looked up at Xiu Qingcheng.

“Does Meng Yingxing know that you can take human form?”

When Liu Chenxin had secretly observed Meng Yingxing and the Ting Tian Sword interacting last night, the sword spirit had not taken human form even once.
She suspected that Meng Yingxing didn’t know his sword spirit could take human form at all.

So now she was gambling, trying to make Xiu Qingcheng back down.

Xiu Qingcheng’s silence gave Liu Chenxin her answer.

She raised an eyebrow, her tone devoid of any panic. “Miss Sword Spirit, you don’t want Meng Yingxing to know you can take human form, do you?”

Xiu Qingcheng nodded generously upon hearing this.

“I’d rather not. But it doesn’t matter. He’ll find out sooner or later.”

“Senior Sister Liu, we’ve known each other for a long time. Hurry up and talk. After you’re done, we’ll go our separate ways. Otherwise, I’ll really kill you.”

From the time she left the Divine Weapon Pavilion until now, Xiu Qingcheng had indeed known Liu Chenxin for a long time.
Seeing that she had also taken care of Meng Yingxing, Xiu Qingcheng could reluctantly let her off the hook.

“You can’t kill me.”

A fragile smile appeared on Liu Chenxin’s pale face.

“If you kill me, the Tianfeng Sect will pin the murder on Meng Yingxing. You will ruin him.”

“Are you going to kill me and then destroy the entire Tianfeng Sect?”

Xiu Qingcheng frowned again, her grip on the sword loosening.

“What’s the harm in destroying a single Tianfeng Sect?”

She said nonchalantly.

Although it wasn’t impossible, she didn’t care, but… she really didn’t want to ruin Meng Yingxing because of this.

The sword spirit in front of her was relentless with her words, but Liu Chenxin knew that this simple-minded sword spirit’s murderous intent was wavering.

Liu Chenxin pressed her advantage:
“At that time, your existence will also be exposed. Such a powerful sword spirit… I’m sure everyone will come for you.”

“At that time, there will be a second Tianfeng Sect, a third Tianfeng Sect. Are you going to kill everyone in this world?”

Xiu Qingcheng was silent.

It was no wonder Liu Chenxin could get along so well in the Tianfeng Sect.
She was very good at reading people’s minds, and what she said was exactly the reason why Xiu Qingcheng had always been reluctant to reveal herself.

When Liu Chenxin saw Xiu Qingcheng move the Ting Tian Sword away from her neck, she knew she had just saved her own life from this apathetic sword spirit.

“What’s the harm in slaying this entire world?”

“The only reason I’m letting you go today is because you’ve been taking care of Meng Yingxing.”

Xiu Qingcheng held the sword in a reverse grip.
Hard as she was all over, she would never lose a verbal battle.

Liu Chenxin slowly stood up from the ground, her gaze never leaving Xiu Qingcheng. “I came to you today to ask you to help me investigate Meng Yingxing. As the person closest to him now, you might have access to more things than I do.”

“What makes you think I’ll help you?”

Xiu Qingcheng’s gray eyes stared at Liu Chenxin without emotion.

This woman still dared to say such things.
She really wasn’t afraid that she would find a deserted corner and get rid of her.

“Meng Yingxing’s past.”

However, the words Liu Chenxin said made Xiu Qingcheng pay attention.

“It might be related to the once-famous Lu Tianzhao. I wonder if this piece of information is enough to make Miss Sword Spirit give up the idea of finding a deserted corner to kill me?”
