Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The influential families were also overjoyed that they had a genius with great potential like Su Liuying.
However, what happened next shocked everyone.
After Su Liuying advanced to become a cultivator master and graduated from the academy, not only did she not become a disciple of an expert from the influential families, but she also joined Yu Siyu and became her chief disciple.
And the reason made many people feel ridiculous.
It was because Su Liuying wanted to become a powerful sword cultivator.
And in the entire Nine Suns Sect, the only sword cultivator that caught her eye was Yu Siyu.
This incident caused a huge uproar in the Nine Suns Sect.
Although Yu Siyu’s flying sword technique was famous for being powerful in the sect, there were also many powerful sword cultivators in the influential families. They were almost as good as Yu Siyu.
Many people from influential families were extremely dissatisfied with Su Liuying for joining their competitors just for this reason.
Even the Su family had some complaints about Su Liuying.
However, Su Liuying was stubborn, and no one could stop her.
As Su Liuying’s cultivation level increased, the influential families became more and more hostile to her. In the end, they completely saw her as a member of the master-disciple lineage and kept suppressing her in public and in private.
Facing the influential families that were closing in, Su Liuying didn’t retaliate at all and only focused on cultivating.
In the eyes of the influential families, such a reaction was naturally interpreted as a concession. As a result, they became even more arrogant.
This situation lasted until the day Su Liuying broke through to the Mystic Light Stage.
She charged into the Cave Abodes of the cultivators who had provoked her and killed them one by one with her powerful strength!
By the time the influential families reacted, more than 20 influential family cultivator masters had already died under Su Liuying’s sword.
Some of them were even Mystic Light Stage, cultivator masters!
There were even young geniuses nurtured by many influential families!
After this battle, the influential families suffered heavy losses.
The influential families were furious and threatened to do house cleaning.
Killing a fellow disciple was an unforgivable crime in any sect. The master-disciple lineage couldn’t do anything to protect Su Liuying.
This matter eventually reached the Sect Master, and the punishment for Su Liuying was quickly decided—deprivation of cultivation and life imprisonment!
However, when the influential families’ cultivator masters rushed to Su Liuying’s cave abode with the decree, they realized that it was empty.
After hearing Su Nian’s story, Lin Shen couldn’t help but click his tongue.
This eldest senior sister of his would rather break than bend!
Facing her opponent’s suppression, she chose to launch a sudden attack and cut their throats.
More importantly, before Su Liuying killed them, she had clearly expected the consequences. While the sect was still discussing how to punish her, she had already used some method to break the restriction and left Dragonside City.
After all, this kind of behavior was no different from betraying the sect, and it was even more serious than killing a fellow disciple!
If the Nine Suns Sect didn’t react to this, they would definitely become a laughing stock.
As expected, Su Nian continued,
“After that, the sect sent a few batches of people to chase after Su Liuying. They were all from influential families. The weakest was at the early-phase Mystic Light Stage, and the strongest was even at the seventh -level of the Mystic Light Stage. He was an Elder of the sect!
“But in the end, without exception, those cultivator masters died under Su Liuying’s sword!
“In the end, the influential families couldn’t take it anymore. They had no choice but to take this loss and give up on chasing after Su Liuying.”
This was also the first time Yang Zhongyi had heard of such a secret. He couldn’t help but exclaim.
“That’s incredible!”
It was no wonder that he was so shocked.
From Su Nian’s description, Su Liuying had just advanced to the Mystic Light Stage before everything happened, but she had killed more than 20 cultivator masters all by herself. Even a seventh-level Mystic Light Stage Elder who was chasing her had died under her sword. Her strength was shocking!
She was indeed a sword cultivator famous for her combat strength!
Lin Shen was also extremely amazed. Deep down, he was looking forward to becoming a sword cultivator.
He came back to his senses and asked curiously, “Where is Su Liuying now?”
Su Nian thought about it and said, “The last time 1 heard from her was a year ago. It’s said that she left the East Sea Path and went to the Star Sect.”
The Star Sect?
Lin Shen was surprised. Why was the Star Sect involved again?
Seeing the confusion on Lin Shen’s face, Su Nian explained,
“The Star Sect is the holy land that all sword cultivators in the East Divine Continent yearn for. It’s understandable for Su Liuying to appear there.”
“I know that!”
Yang Zhongyi suddenly interrupted with a mysterious expression.
“It’s said that the Star Sect has set up a sword trial outside the mountain gate. As long as a sword cultivator can pass the trial, they can see the Star Sect’s sword scripture and sword technique. If they can even pass all the tests, they can even see the sect’s signature divine power, the Star Sword Technique! Su Liuying most likely appeared there for the trial!”
“There’s such a thing?” Lin Shen was instantly surprised.
Any cultivation techniques, even the weakest ones, were the core secret of a sect!
Even the disciples of the sect couldn’t cultivate them at will.
Let alone foreign cultivator masters.
However, the Star Sect was actually willing to take out the sword techniques in their sect. Even if one had to pass the sword trial, it was still incredible.
“The Star Sect has always advocated training swordsmanship in actual combat to increase their cultivation. Most likely, they set up such a trial to attract sword cultivators from all over the world and use it to train their disciples.”
Su Nian shrugged.
“Moreover, I heard that until now, no one has been able to pass all the sword trials. Even a Mystic Light Stage sword cultivator can only pass a few of the first trials!”
Only then did Lin Shen understand.
After all, this was related to the sect’s sword technique, so it was normal for the test to be difficult.
However, the Star Sect was even willing to use the sect’s sword technique as bait to provide their disciples with training opportunities. This determination was admirable.
No wonder the Star Sect could become the strongest sword cultivation sect in the Eastern Divine Continent!
Lin Shen suddenly had a thought.
After breaking through to the Mystic Light Stage, he might be able to go to the Star Sect to challenge the sword trial.
If he could obtain a few powerful sword techniques, it would undoubtedly be very beneficial to his future strength.
Lin Shen quickly made a decision.
However, that was a matter for the future. For now, he had to become a sword cultivator first.
After knowing the origin of Su Liuying’s betrayal, Lin Shen finally got the answer he wanted.
Late at night, Lin Shen returned to his residence in the Eastern District.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he heard a thunderous roar. Then, a gust of evil wind blew over. A ferocious tiger demon appeared out of nowhere and pounced on him.
Facing the sudden attack, Lin Shen remained unperturbed. He still had a calm smile on his face.
“ROAR!”
The vicious tiger pounced on Lin Shen, but it passed through him.
Lin Shen smiled, and the spiritual essence around him suddenly surged. In an instant, the ferocious tiger twisted violently and disappeared.
“Come out, Ai.” Lin Shen smiled.
Ai jumped out from behind the door with a dejected look.
“Why didn’t it work?”
Lin Shen couldn’t help but laugh. He walked forward and patted the cat’s head.
“You’ve done a great job.”
He was telling the truth.
He was now a second-level Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator master with 108 wisps of spiritual essence. Any illusions below the stage of a cultivator master would be destroyed by the spiritual essence fluctuations on his body the moment they approached him.
To be able to conjure such a tiger, Ai was already quite advanced in her illusions.
“You’re at the late phase of the Enlightening Stage. Good. Looks like it won’t be long before you get through the Human Tribulation.”
Lin Shen quickly sensed Ai’s cultivation level.
Ai’s frustration was swept away when she heard the compliment. She raised her head proudly.
“I’ve been cultivating diligently recently. A few days ago, the General said that 1 could already start to condense spirit meridians!”
Lin Shen smiled and nodded. After some thought, he took out the Cast Spirit Pills from his storage ring and handed them to Ai.
“Take these Cast Spirit Pills and try to condense a few more spirit meridians.”
He still had a lot of Cast Spirit Pills, which were from the enemies he killed in Xuandu Mountain. He could give them all to Ai.
“So, so many!”
Looking at the five bottles of Cast Spirit Pills in front of her, Ai couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
Didn’t the General say that Cast Spirit Pills were very rare?
How could Lin Shen take out so many at once?
