I Have a Sword

To gauge the true strength of Plain-Skirt Destiny was simple—make her perform a second move.

She had always used just one strike to kill, so no one knew her true power or her limits. However, what if someone managed to make her perform a second move?

Qiu Baiyi had gathered many extraordinary allies to test her. Despite their strength, none managed to force her to use a second sword.

He could only test her by himself. He understood this was his only chance. So, without hesitation, he ignited both his fleshly body and soul.

As his fleshly body and soul burned, his aura surged crazily.

At the moment, he was the strongest he had ever been.

The iron sword in his hand hummed fiercely, and it felt as if it could tear the heavens apart. Across from him, Plain-Skirt Destiny watched with cold, indifferent eyes.

Without wasting a second, Qiu Baiyi vanished into thin air.

Shwing!

A flash of sword light streaked through the air, aimed directly at Plain-Skirt Destiny. It was his strongest attack. The entire universe region seemed to crack open beneath his attack, and a terrifying sword force spread across the world, obliterating everything in its path.

Ye Guan's face grew serious. The Second Hall Master's attack was far beyond anything Ye Xiuran had ever done.

At that moment, Plain-Skirt Destiny slowly lifted her right hand, revealing the Path Sword. Then, she calmly thrust it forward.

Bang!

Her sword forced Qiu Baiyi's attack to come to a halt.

Qiu Baiyi was blasted away, while Plain-Skirt Destiny took a step backward in retreat.

Ye Guan's eyes widened in shock, and he was filled with disbelief.

Before Ye Guan could process his disbelief, however, Plain-Skirt Destiny made another move.

Bang!

Qiu Baiyi was thrown violently, landing far away with a sword sticking out of his forehead.

"Haha!" Qiu Baiyi laughed wildly. "The second attack! That was the second attack!"

A talisman in his palm burst into flames, quickly transforming into a fiery streak of light that vanished into the depths of space. Of course, it carried a message. ⱤΆɴɵᛒƐṡ

Plain-Skirt Destiny glanced at the streak of flame but made no move to stop it.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan's eyes flashed with complex emotions.

So this was Qiu Baiyi's plan. He had tried to test her true strength, sacrificing his life in the process.

How ruthless!

From afar, Qiu Baiyi's maniacal laughter continued.

One sword strike couldn't reveal her true power, but two could. She had even taken a step back!

Realizing something, Qiu Baiyi's expression turned to panic. He looked at Plain-Skirt Destiny, who was still watching him calmly.

"No... no!" Qiu Baiyi's voice trembled. "Y-y-you've been pretending to be weak! You..."

He opened his palm to ignite another talisman, but the sword between his brows quivered violently, and the talisman was extinguished in an instant.

Qiu Baiyi's face went pale. Plain-Skirt Destiny had tricked him!

It was over. The Evil Dao Alliance was finished—they were done!

Unwilling to accept his fate, Qiu Baiyi roared, preparing to self-destruct to see if she had truly been pretending.

As the evil energy and sword intent left him, they were instantly crushed by the sword between his brows.

Qiu Baiyi was desperate. He had ended up sacrificing his life for some false information. His comrades would undoubtedly believe it without any question.

It's over. We're done.

Qiu Baiyi's face turned ashen as he stared at the True Universe. His gaze pierced countless starry skies until it reached the Tribulation World.

Then, he muttered, "I'm sorry. I'm useless... I can't help you anymore."

Qiu Baiyi finally disappeared.

Things returned to normal, but this wasn't the end just yet.

Plain-Skirt Destiny slowly raised her head, gazing at the heavens. Upon seeing her, the faces of the two High Goddesses changed dramatically. Were they about to be silenced?

At that moment, Yi Nian and Jing An appeared beside Ye Guan. Yi Nian glanced at Plain-Skirt Destiny but said nothing, simply moving closer to Ye Guan.

Jing An, licking her hawthorn candy, also moved closer to Ye Guan.

Plain-Skirt Destiny turned to Ye Guan and asked, "If you don't point to either of them, should I kill both?"

Ye Guan's gaze settled on High Goddess Tianxuan.

He had some fondness for High Goddess Tianyun, but as for High Goddess Tianxuan.

High Goddess Tianxuan's expression changed. Before she could make a move, High Goddess Tianyun stopped her and turned to Ye Guan.

"Could I ask a favor from you?" she said.

She knew that neither she nor High Goddess Tianxuan could match Plain-Skirt Destiny. She was just too strong.

Ye Guan looked at High Goddess Tianxuan but remained silent.

High Goddess Tianyun grew tense. After a pause, Ye Guan asked, "Aunt, would you like to accompany me to the Tianxing Civilization?"

Plain-Skirt Destiny looked at Ye Guan calmly. "No need for such trouble. Just point me in the right direction, and I'll wipe them out with one sword."

Yi Nian had no idea what to say.

Jing An was dumbfounded.

Ye Guan turned to Yi Nian. "Should we have them destroyed?"

Yi Nian looked nervously at Plain-Skirt Destiny before lowering her head and staying silent.

Jing An licked her hawthorn candy quietly. She didn't want Yi Nian to destroy the Tianxing Civilization, but she'd respect Yi Nian's choice. After all, it wasn't Yi Nian who had wronged the Tianxing Civilization—it was the other way around.

After a long silence, Yi Nian slowly looked up at the sky, her gaze falling on High Goddess Tianyun among the stars. High Goddess Tianyun smiled gently and said, "No matter what you choose, I won't blame you."

"Teacher, you're lying. I know you'd be sad if I destroyed the Tianxing Civilization. I don't want to make you sad."

At these words, High Goddess Tianyun's eyes flickered with a mix of emotions.

Yi Nian glanced at Plain-Skirt Destiny. She hesitated for a moment before quietly calling, "Aunt..."

Plain-Skirt Destiny looked at Yi Nian but didn't respond.

Yi Nian immediately became more nervous. She was genuinely a bit afraid of her aunt!

Sensing Yi Nian's unease, Ye Guan gently smiled and reassured her, "Don't be scared. Aunt is very kind."

Yi Nian nodded slightly, stealing another glance at her aunt. Plain-Skirt Destiny suddenly spoke, "Come here."

Hearing her call, Yi Nian panicked a little and quickly looked at Ye Guan. He smiled again, then led her to Plain-Skirt Destiny.

Plain-Skirt Destiny reached out and gently brushed Yi Nian's hair aside. Yi Nian had always kept half of her face hidden, with her left side covered by her hair.

Ye Guan had always been curious about why she did this, but out of respect, he never asked or tried to see her left face.

As Plain-Skirt Destiny softly pushed Yi Nian's hair back, it revealed that while her left face was normal, her left eye was not. Her left eye was an eerie mix of black and red, swirling like a vortex; it was strange and unsettling.

Seeing this, Ye Guan was surprised and intrigued.

"The Eye of Sin!"

Yi Nian spoke softly, "They say it's an unlucky eye... Since I was little, many people avoided me. Only my teacher and Jing An didn't mind..."

She lowered her head.

Ye Guan turned to High Goddess Tianyun, puzzled. "Senior, what's going on?"

High Goddess Tianyun spoke gravely, "She's had that eye since birth. The Tianxing Ruler and I looked into it but found nothing. Since it didn't seem to harm her, we stopped worrying about it."

High Goddess Tianyun glanced at Plain-Skirt Destiny.

Ye Guan also looked at her, and she revealed, "It's a mark."

Ye Guan frowned slightly. "What kind of mark?"

Plain-Skirt Destiny gently tucked Yi Nian's hair behind her ear, fully revealing her face. "A mark of reincarnation."

Ye Guan was curious, but Plain-Skirt Destiny offered no further explanation, leaving him to smile awkwardly.

Just then, High Goddess Tianyun explained, "A mark of reincarnation is something that some cultivators use when facing disaster. They'd seal their cultivation and memories in a host, like a seed.

"After surviving the disaster, they'd take over the host to be reborn. Of course, it could also be part of a deliberate plan to reincarnate."

High Goddess Tianyun glanced at Plain-Skirt Destiny, looking for confirmation.

However, Plain-Skirt Destiny still didn't respond.

High Goddess Tianyun had no idea what to say.

Ye Guan asked, "Aunt, this reincarnation mark..."

Plain-Skirt Destiny glanced at Yi Nian and replied, "It's nothing to worry about."

Ye Guan relaxed. If his aunt said that it wasn't a big deal, then it probably wasn't a big deal.

Ye Guan said, "Let's go to the Tianxing Civilization."

Plain-Skirt Destiny nodded slightly.

High Goddess Tianxuan and High Goddess Tianyun's faces changed.

If she's going to Tianxing Civilization, then we are in serious trouble!

Yi Nian also looked worried. She knew her aunt's temper. If the people of Tianxing Civilization were foolish enough to anger her, one sword strike could completely erase them from existence.

Yi Nian turned to look at Ye Guan.

He smiled gently and took her hand. "Don't worry."

Seeing Ye Guan's calm smile, Yi Nian felt a bit more at ease. She knew that if he wanted to destroy the Tianxing Civilization, he wouldn't bother going there first.

High Goddess Tianyun turned to High Goddess Tianxuan. "You should go ahead and make some arrangements."

High Goddess Tianxuan immediately understood. Without another word, she vanished into the starry sky.

Since Plain-Skirt Destiny was headed to the Tianxing Civilization, she needed to lock up the fools before they caused any trouble and brought disaster upon the entire civilization.

Ye Guan suddenly asked, "Aunt, can you help upgrade Master Pagoda?"

Little Pagoda was genuinely touched to hear that.

The punk would give him a hard time every now and then, but he would always have a caring side during moments like these—the punk was worth sticking together with!
