A tall, lithe, and strikingly beautiful figure, a longsword in hand, strode unhurriedly over the rubble-strewn ground.
She was clad in red, her black hair flowing like a waterfall.
Her exquisitely refined face was veiled in an eternal frost, her eyes looking down upon all with an air of supreme disdain.
And close behind her followed a young woman in a grey Daoist robe.
Her expression was numb, yet her delicate beauty was undeniable—it was Su Qingyan, the very girl the Xiao family had used as leverage against Xiao Yueluo.
Su Qingyan stared blankly at the red-clad back before her, her mind a complete blank.
In the center of the main hall, Wang Batian gritted his teeth, staring at that icy, breathtaking face.
His pupils constricted violently.
It was her!
A few days ago, the city garrison had reported to him that a female disciple from some unknown sect had arrived in the city.
He had caught a glimpse of her from the city gate tower back then.
She had come down from the mountain for training without so much as a single attendant, let alone a guardian.
In the cultivation world, a sect disciple who traveled alone to a remote town like this was almost certainly a bottom-tier figure with poor aptitude and lagging strength, someone the sect had cast out to fend for themselves.
So, he hadn’t given her a second thought.
He hadn’t even been interested enough to inquire further.
But who the hell could have guessed that this woman he had dismissed as a “waste” was actually a genuine Golden Core Realm powerhouse!
Wang Batian forced down the churning turmoil in his core, trembling as he cupped his hands in salute.
His voice shook like a leaf in the wind: “I-I had no idea a venerable senior was gracing us with your presence!
This junior, Wang Batian, City Lord of Qinghe… failed to welcome you properly!
May I ask for the senior’s… honored name?”
“You want to know who I am?”
Bai Yue lowered her eyelids slightly, her crimson lips parting.
Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet carried undisguised contempt and arrogance: “Du Xian Sect, Bai Yue.”
“Du-Du Xian Sect?!”
The moment those three words left her mouth, a collective sharp intake of breath echoed through the main hall.
“Hiss— Someone from the Du Xian Sect?!
That is a colossal power!
A top-tier sect that rules over a domain of a hundred thousand li!
Even an outer disciple from there could walk sideways through Qinghe City, let alone a powerhouse with Golden Core cultivation!!”
“Good heavens!
Why would a true disciple from a reclusive, ancient sect like that descend upon our backwater?!”
Listening to the barely suppressed gasps of horror around her, Bai Yue maintained her icy, aloof expression on the surface—her gaze utterly devoid of emotion.
In reality, however, her inner world was currently doing joyful somersaults.
「Holy crap!
That entrance was absolutely badass!
System, did you see that?
Tell me that wasn’t cool!
The aura, the presence—I give myself a perfect ten, okay?!」
In her mind, the cold, mechanical voice betrayed a hint of resignation:
[Host, please maintain your ‘aloof’ persona.
If you break character, points will be deducted.]
「Tsk, no sense of style.
This lady is a professional at playing the cold goddess.
Just look at these bumpkins—they’re all too scared to even breathe loudly!」
While Bai Yue’s mind was in overdrive, her outward demeanor radiated the pinnacle of icy arrogance, as if the entire world was beneath her notice.
She raised her chin slightly, her cold gaze cutting like a blade across Wang Batian’s sweat-drenched face: “Lord Wang, I have a question for you.
I previously invited Miss Xiao to join our sect.
And now, you go to all this trouble to forcibly take her as a bride.
What exactly are you trying to do?”
Wang Batian shuddered violently, kowtowing frantically: “S-Senior… the Xiao family offered her to us of their own accord… I had no idea she had offended you!
If I had known, even if you’d given me ten thousand times the courage, I wouldn’t have dared…”
“Wouldn’t have dared?
Then what is this situation here?”
Bai Yue let out a cold laugh and casually swung her ice-blue longsword.
Swoosh—!
A sharp, incomparable sword aura howled through the air, slicing the solid gold wedding table in the center of the hall cleanly in two!
The obese, idiotic young master, who was still holding his whip, had his trousers torn by the grazing sword aura and promptly soiled himself in terror.
He collapsed onto his rear, stunned for a moment, then threw his whip aside, pointing at Bai Yue and wailing at the top of his lungs: “Waaah—Daddy!
She’s mean!
I wanna hit her!
Daddy, catch her and make her my pony!
Waaah…”
In the mind of this simpleton, who had the intellect of a child, he had no concept of a Golden Core Realm powerhouse.
All he knew was that in Qinghe City, his father was the law.
Whoever dared to cross him, his father would have them torn to pieces.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Batian’s face turned deathly white.
“You worthless brat!
Shut up!”
Wang Batian was terrified out of his wits, his eyes nearly splitting open.
He spun around, raised his right hand, and channeled the spiritual power of the Crystallization Realm.
He swung an open palm across the empty space, delivering a vicious slap from a distance!
CRACK—!!!
An ear-splitting slap echoed through the hall.
A massive palm of spiritual force struck the idiot’s face squarely.
The poor man, who weighed over two hundred jin, was sent spinning through the air like a top, flipping three times before crashing heavily into the wall.
He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with a few broken teeth and immediately passed out.
After delivering that slap, Wang Batian’s knees went weak.
Thump—
He dropped to the ground without hesitation, kneeling before Bai Yue.
The majestic City Lord of Qinghe City, a Crystallization Realm expert, now groveled like a pitiful stray dog begging for scraps.
His head was pressed firmly to the floor, his voice shrill and desperate:
“Spare me, Immortal!
Please spare us!
My foolish son spoke out of turn, and I’ve already punished him!
I beg the Immortal to be magnanimous and spare my household!”
The entire hall fell into dead silence.
Everyone stared in terror at this peerlessly beautiful woman who had descended like a god of death.
And in the corner of the crowd, the once-arrogant Grand Elder of the Xiao family had collapsed to the ground, his trousers soaked.
He muttered incessantly: “It’s over… all over…
How does Xiao Yueluo know someone from the Du Xian Sect…”
Just moments ago, he had sent the Third Elder to the rear chamber to threaten Xiao Yueluo using Su Qingyan.
And now, Su Qingyan was standing perfectly intact behind a Golden Core Realm powerhouse!
Anyone with half a brain could guess what that meant!
Bai Yue coolly watched Wang Batian prostrate among the wreckage, then glanced at the Xiao family members trembling in the corner.
She was satisfied that the atmosphere had been perfectly cultivated.
「Showing off successful!
System, how about a little reward for that performance?」
[…
Host, this system is a villain system, not a show-off system.
Please get to the point and advance the main plot.]
Seeing that the system was being uncooperative, Bai Yue slightly withdrew the suffocating, terrifying pressure radiating from her body.
Whoosh—
As the Golden Core Realm pressure receded like an ebbing tide, the people in the hall finally felt the immense weight lifted from their chests.
They gasped for breath, as if they had survived a catastrophe.
