The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 10: I Don’t Know

The mountain wind blew away the floating clouds.

Li Jian, the Grand Sword Master, was feeling anxious.

He thought this woman was acting like a madwoman.

He had known in the shadows that the Chu Sword Manor was forging a demon sword. The demon sword was very important to him.

However, on the day the demon sword was completed, he was delayed for a moment due to some business.

But with his cultivation level, he thought a little delay wouldn't matter. In his eyes, everyone in the Chu Sword Manor was no different from ants.

Who would have thought, by the time he finished his business and arrived at Chu Sword Manor, the place was littered with corpses.

A woman stood on the roof, holding the demon sword, crying and laughing, acting like a madwoman.

She was still muttering, "I was wrong... I was wrong..."

This wasn’t just a madwoman.

So, he gave her a sword strike.

The woman didn't dodge.

He gave her another sword strike, and she still didn’t move.

It seemed this ugly woman really wanted to die!

Li Jian found it somewhat boring and decided to kill her and take the demon sword with him.

The demon sword seemed to be in a special state. It had been forged but was different from what was recorded in the Chu Sword Manor.

However, it didn’t matter as long as it was the demon sword.

What he didn’t expect was that the woman, who seemed to be seeking death, suddenly decided she didn’t want to die and exploded with power.

Her explosion of power shocked Li Jian greatly.

What terrifying sword intent! What terrifying swordsmanship!

A mere person who had just entered the Core Formation stage actually dared to fight him using such terrifying sword intent and sword techniques?

Li Jian was overjoyed.

Wuliang Tianzun, an unexpected gain this time?

This woman was only in the Yuan Dan realm, yet she possessed such swordsmanship. There must be some enormous secret hidden within her.

Then, the woman ran away, muttering that she was going to atone for her sins.

She ran fast!

Li Jian chased after her, and they ended up at the gates of the Grand Dao Sect.

"Two Daoist friends, this villain killed all 193 people in a place called Chu Sword Manor, including chickens and dogs, in order to forge a demon sword. He’s extremely vicious."

"The Grand Dao Sect is a prestigious orthodox sect, the leader of the world's cultivation sects. The disciples inside are all virtuous and proper. How could they possibly know such a demon? Should I take him away first?" Li Jian said with a smile.

The disciples guarding the mountain laughed and said, "You don’t need to put on airs for the Grand Dao Sect. Whether we are orthodox or evil is not something a mere Pò Yīng realm cultivator like you can judge."

"Wait here. If the people inside don’t recognize him, you may take him. If they do, you can leave yourself!"

This was the confidence of the Grand Dao Sect.

Although the two mountain guards were only in the Yuan Dan realm, in front of the sect gate, even a Pò Yīng realm cultivator had to stand obediently!

Even when reprimanded, Li Jian didn’t dare to show a dissatisfied face. He could only smile and pray that the people inside wouldn’t recognize this madwoman.

Soon, the news reached Bai Lan Peak.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Is it Junior Brother Lu Ye? A woman has been heavily wounded and chased here, collapsing outside the mountain gate. She says her name is Chu Ling. Do you recognize her?"

"If you do, save her. If not, just let others take her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye was taken aback. Chu Ling? She wasn’t dead?

"I don’t recognize her!"

"Understood, goodbye!"

The disciple left in a hurry.

Bai Qiulan suddenly appeared, her eyes wide in disbelief as she stared at Lu Ye's room.

Would he really just stand by and watch her die?

It was Chu Ling!

It was really Chu Ling!

No, if he wouldn't save her, she had to. Although Chu Ling was her rival, considering their past shared nights, she couldn’t just watch her die.

In an instant, Bai Qiulan vanished.

The disciple moved extremely quickly, leaving while already using a sound-transmitting stone to send a message.

"Senior Brother, it’s confirmed that Junior Brother Lu Ye does not recognize her."

The gatekeeping disciple nodded in response. "Understood."

Since they didn’t recognize her, there was no value in protecting her.

He looked at Li Jian.

"Take the person away, don't stain the grounds of the Grand Dao /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ Sect."

Li Jian was overjoyed, his face breaking into a smile, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Rest assured, I will take her away immediately. Apologies for the disturbance."

He reached out to grab Chu Ling, and just as his hand was mere inches from her, a wave of blue cold air suddenly shot toward him.

Li Jian reacted quickly, hurriedly defending himself.

Then, he froze in his defensive posture.

This was no joke—Bai Qiulan was a cultivator of the Refining Void stage. Moreover, she possessed the power of the Taiyin, and after being reborn, even if she were to face a Refining Void cultivator of the same realm, she could probably kill them in an instant.

"Greetings, Elder Bai!"

The gatekeeping disciples hurriedly saluted upon seeing Bai Qiulan.

Bai Qiulan nodded lightly. "The corpse is yours to deal with. Can I take this person back to the sect?"

The gatekeeping disciples didn’t dare intervene with Bai Qiulan, quickly agreeing.

Bai Qiulan looked at Chu Ling’s condition and couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

How did she end up like this?

The injuries were severe. What had she gone through to become like this?

Bai Qiulan didn’t understand, but she immediately took out a pill and fed it to Chu Ling.

Her Taiyin power was too cold, and it wasn’t suitable for helping others recover, so she decided to take Chu Ling to seek help from her senior sister.

Bai Qiulan’s senior sister was named Sun Ruowei.

"Such severe injuries!"

Sun Ruowei was also startled and quickly began examining her. While checking, she clicked her tongue in amazement.

"She should have died already. What kind of obsession and willpower must she have for her to still be alive?"

"However, as long as she's alive, I can save her!"

Sun Ruowei released a green divine light that enveloped Chu Ling, then took out a pill and fed it to her. Several talismans flew out and stuck to Chu Ling’s body.

Chu Ling’s internal injuries stabilized rapidly.

Large patches of scabs fell off her skin, and the burned appearance from the flames gradually disappeared, though she still looked hideous.

After various treatments were applied, half a day later, Chu Ling moaned softly and finally opened her eyes.

Her eyes were filled with confusion, but she quickly seemed to recall something and broke into a frenzy of joy.

"Young Master!"

She suddenly sat up, wincing in pain as she furrowed her brows.

"Ling’er, you’re awake," Bai Qiulan sighed in relief.

Chu Ling’s gaze scanned around for Lu Ye’s figure, but she couldn’t find him anywhere.

"Sister Bai, where is the Young Master?" Chu Ling asked anxiously.

Sun Ruowei’s eyes widened slowly upon hearing this.

What?

Is this some kind of hallucination?

A little girl like her, calling Bai Qiulan "Sister Bai"?

And Bai Qiulan looked perfectly normal, as if they were very familiar with each other.

"Lu Ye is still in seclusion. He hasn't left," Bai Qiulan said.

"Oh... then did the Young Master ask you to rescue me, Sister Bai? Thank you so much. I need to find him."

Chu Ling said as she tried to get off the bed.

Bai Qiulan stopped her. "I already told you, he’s in seclusion. The most important thing right now is for you to rest and recover. Once your injuries heal, you can go find him. Maybe by then, he’ll be out of seclusion."

Chu Ling lightly bit her lip.

"Then, Sister Bai, could you please apologize to the Young Master on my behalf? I... I’ve only just realized that I’ve misunderstood the Young Master all this time. He never wanted to dominate me, but rather, he’s been protecting me all along. Perhaps it’s not just me—maybe all of us misunderstood him. He truly isn’t that kind of person."

When Sun Ruowei heard this, it was as if she had been struck by a huge shock. She staggered back step by step, her eyes as wide as saucers.

Good heavens, Wuliang Tianzun, what did I just hear?

What do you mean by "we"?

Who exactly is "we"...?
