Chapter 449: Changes at Sword Sect’s Yin Peak – Part 2

“No wonder your progress has been so rapid, yet you are still far from the Primordial Spirit realm.”

Shi Ruoyu’s tone seemed somewhat wistful.

“Xueer, you must understand,”

Her voice suddenly turned cold, “It is not that I, as a Sword Cultivator, am heartless, but that the Sword Dao itself is heartless. If one wishes to master the Sword Dao, one must make their heart clear and bright like a sword, able to cut down anyone they see. Do you understand?”

“Disciple understands,”

Liu Ruoxue responded in a detached tone.

...

“Understand? But why is there still emotion in your Sword Dao? Could it be that you still harbor delusions about that Devil Head?”

Shi Ruoyu sharply criticized, “Stop dreaming, not to mention that the Devil Head has been dismembered, even if he were alive now, do you really think you could compete with those Immortals?”

Her words seemed to touch a sore spot in Liu Ruoxue, as inevitably, a crack appeared on her otherwise serene and sword-like expression.

“Master,”

Liu Ruoxue suddenly looked up, her tone was even, yet sharp as a sword pointing to the sky, definitively, “You are wrong!”

“I am wrong?”

Shi Ruoyu was taken aback, seemingly surprised that Liu Ruoxue would speak to her in such a manner.

Her gaze suddenly darkened, “Where am I wrong?”

“Having emotions does not necessarily mean one cannot master the Sword Dao.”

Liu Ruoxue slowly began, her voice firm, “Master, are you aware that in the Mortal World, tragic stories often circulate?”

“So what?”

Shi Ruoyu frowned, not understanding her point at all.

What does the Sword Dao have to do with tragic stories?

“The tragic stories that circulate in the world are often about things that are desired but unattainable. People are drawn to such stories, yet they know full well it’s hard to become the protagonist themselves, thus they are passed down through ages.”

“What a mess,”

Shi Ruoyu was somewhat impatient, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“What Ruoxue is trying to say is actually very simple. The so-called Ruthless Sword Dao, is it truly heartless? The Sword Dao is heartless, it seems simple, but even you, Master, after years of cultivation, have yet to achieve true heartlessness, otherwise, you wouldn’t be pursuing the Ruthless Sword Dao. Back in Dawn City, you wouldn’t have acted against him because he was an Outer Domain Demon,”

“So what?”

Shi Ruoyu raised an eyebrow coldly, saying, “I suppose that’s really what you wanted to ask, wasn’t it?”

“If you have an opinion about my previous action, you can just say it.”

Upon hearing her last sentence, Liu Ruoxue’s expression slightly changed.

But in the end, she said nothing.

“Master misunderstood,”

Liu Ruoxue said calmly, “The disciple was merely stating a fact.”

“Hmm,”

Shi Ruoyu let out a light snort, suddenly feeling an inexplicable disgust, as if something beyond her control was happening.

How could that be possible?

Just as she was considering scanning the area with her Divine Sense for safety, Liu Ruoxue seemed to anticipate her plan and said quietly, “In any case, the disciple does not believe that cultivating the Sword Dao should turn a person into a sword. Moreover, swords also have emotions; otherwise, why would Sword Spirits be born?”

“Rebellious disciple!?”

For the first time ever, Shi Ruoyu’s face dramatically changed.

Unfortunately, she could not find a single point to refute in what Liu Ruoxue had said.

She was pondering on how to retort.

As for using Divine Sense to scan the mountain, that minor matter had subconsciously been pushed to the back of her mind.

With Si Shuang present, even if there were external enemies, she would likely be able to send a timely warning; there was really no need to worry too much.

What she needed to do most at the moment was to correct the thoughts of this problematic disciple.

As a young genius of the Sword Sect, capable of making an enormous breakthrough in Primordial Spirit, Shi Ruoyu did not want to give up just like that.

Seeing that Shi Ruoyu was indeed attracted by the theory she had heard from Xu Yuan, Liu Ruoxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Although even Shi Ruoyu sweeping with Divine Sense might not necessarily detect anything unusual, if possible, it was better to avoid taking such risks.

Because of this, she had to try her best to keep her attention on herself.

Then, what happened next would be up to Xu Yuan himself.

Either he would break through his Primordial Spirit, subdue Shi Ruoyu quietly, or, if she failed to delay successfully, Shi Ruoyu would become aware, attracting the Return to Void Great Divine Communicators of the Sword Sect. Both of them would end up failing and dying at his hand. Otherwise, they would be detected by Lin Qingque and her group, leading to a fate worse than death.

…

In the midst of Liu Ruoxue’s worries.

Xu Yuan had already brought that unnamed female disciple to the front of the Sword Cleansing Pool.

Just when the female disciple thought he had brought Si Shuang here to cleanse herself,

Xu Yuan reached out and plucked something from Si Shuang’s body.

Then, he gently blew on the speck of frost in his palm.

The next moment, the white in his palm turned into a mist tinted with pink, merging with the mist over the Sword Cleansing Pool.

He did not know how Yun’s scattering operation was going, whether it had been successful or not.

So, just in case, Xu Yuan still prepared an extra layer of defense.

The female disciple, who had lived in the Sword Sect all her life and had not been exposed to the outside world, stared wide-eyed at his actions, initially stunned, then realizing that he was very likely an outsider.

She quietly swallowed, her eyes beginning to dart around.

Just then, Xu Yuan turned back and glanced at her.

There was no threat in his eyes, no warning, just a calm and indifferent expression.

But for some reason, just that one look,

that one glance made her abandon all her thoughts.

Even Si Shuang had failed, what could she possibly do?

Xu Yuan inconspicuously left a Formation around them, serving both as concealment and a restraint,

then he activated the Art of Transformation, transforming into a fish and diving into the Sword Cleansing Pool.

This Art of Transformation was a minor spell he had learned by simulating those in the Immortal Realm.

Although it seemed to offer endless changes, in reality, it was utterly useless for some purposes.

In the eyes of higher realm cultivators, not only could this Art of Transformation not provide any disguise, but it might also expose more flaws due to the mismatch between the body and the Nascent Soul.

It was merely a spell for concealment.

After all, compared to illusion techniques, it could genuinely alter his appearance and prevent others from recognizing him.

But here, it was exactly suitable.

Meanwhile, the Sword Sect disciples still immersed in the elation brought by the Sword Qi of the Sword Cleansing Pool were completely unaware of the approaching danger.

The more diligently they tried to advance, the faster the Spiritual Power operated within their bodies, and thus, the more frequent their exchange of breath with the Spiritual Energy of the outside world became.

Unnoticed by them, the originally pure white mist gradually took on a pink hue.

When they accidentally inhaled the Crystal Qi mixed in the mist,

they felt their minds growing drowsy.

As time passed, the female disciples of Yin Peak, who had stood upright like pines in the Sword Cleansing Pool, began to stagger, sinking into the comfort of the Sword Qi washing over them.
