Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

"Is this...a law phase? Ah?"

The eyeballs almost popped out onto the ground.

The ordinary disciples didn't notice anything unusual. They only thought the thunder descending from the heavens was a top-level Daoist technique of extraordinary power, while they marveled at Liang Yu's talent and strength, as well as her current realm and her boundless future achievements.

But those old things, seasoned with age, each drew a sharp breath.

"Yes, but not entirely so."

Master Gu's gentle and calm voice brought everyone back from their shock, yet most of their eyes still revealed a look of disbelief. Probably only this well-informed sect master understood what was happening here.

"This child's physique is quite good, she's wrapped in the fortune of the nation, which is why when she performs the Daoist technique, she can invoke the law phase. Don't take it too seriously; it's not the law phase you imagine. This is more of a celestial phenomenon."

"It sounds like just a word difference, but the law phase relies on one's own cultivation realm, and when performing a Daoist technique, it alters the heavens and earth, concentrating its power to bring forth a law phase. But she is not like this."

"Being a member of the royal family, it's natural for her to carry the nation's fortune. Just that most royal families would elevate the bearer of such fortune to control the nation, for only then can the country prosper and endure. Any nation standing firm in Jiuzhou today has fortune to some extent."

"But appearing in this child is a bit awkward, as she is a daughter and naturally cannot ascend to the throne. Having the nation's fortune, she cannot marry off like other princesses, or else it would be handing the nation's fortune to another country."

"Her arrival at our Purple Cloud Palace is just right, as it avoids covetous eyes and prevents the leakage of national fortune. King Liang indeed made a clever calculation."

With a smile on his face.

For worldly forces finding ways to send their children into the sect, he always permitted it, as long as the person was obedient, didn't cause trouble, and didn't take sides. Gu Yuanshan was always welcoming of this attitude.

"The celestial phenomenon she triggered is national fortune. Her own strength is far from this level, and even if she triggers the celestial phenomenon, she cannot use it for herself. To turn this fortune into strength for herself..."

"She would probably need to walk this path for decades."

Hit the mark with one comment.

Truly the head of Purple Cloud Palace, whose knowledge and wisdom are incomparable to those Peak Masters and Elders. Even that elderly Great Elder nodded upon hearing it and said, "I've been taught."

Comparing oneself with others is infuriating; comparing life with life causes illness. This little princess perfectly epitomized this through her actions and demeanor.

This is an innate talent, and it's one of the reasons why Liu Tangxi was initially reluctant to bring Liang Yu up the mountain. She was really worried about delaying her bright future.

Not being well-versed in Daoist skills herself, she feared that teaching randomly or having her focus solely on sword cultivation might waste this child's inherent talents. But...

"Transform the mysterious powers of the nine heavens into Divine Thunder."

Teeth clenched tightly.

Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, her vital energy and blood surged, already damaging her meridians, even the hand holding the long sword aloft shook violently, as if the next second the Divine Thunder captured at the sword's tip would go out of control.

Even Liu Tangxi and several elders couldn't help but stand up at this moment, not out of concern that the move's power might hurt themselves, but worried that Liang Yu might not be able to withstand it due to her physique, affecting her very core. Yet the long sword she raised continued to be swung with force.

Directly pointing at the opponent.

"Mighty power of heaven, summoned by the sword!"

Accompanied by the sixteen words squeezed almost from the teeth of the young girl, the Divine Thunder within the dark clouds no longer hid, but fell like a mighty hammer from the skies!

This should be the most impressive scene of this current Nine Peaks martial arts assembly.

Liu Tangxi's eyelid couldn't help but twitch.

She turned her head and looked at her junior brother, whose face was embarrassed and silent, clenching her fist, almost unable to resist giving the boy a punch just now.

"..."

"I originally asked you to teach her the basics of Thunder Technique, so that Junior Master Wei could guide her more conveniently in the future, not starting from scratch in ignorance."

"And you ended up teaching her to risk her life with someone?"
