Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Everyone has the right to choose their own life.

“If you don’t want me to kill Chu Yang and slaughter everyone in Qingyang Village, you’d better stay still,” Xu Zimei said indifferently.

Baili Xiao’s face turned awkward; she gave Xu Zimei a deep look but dared not make any rash moves.

“Truly affectionate, aren’t you,” Xu Zimei extended his right hand, slowly lifted Baili Xiao’s chin, and clicked his tongue as he said, “What a fine skin.”

“What do you want to do?” Baili Xiao’s gaze sharpened as she bit her lip and spoke.

Xu Zimei sneered and then suddenly grabbed Baili Xiao’s throat.

He squeezed hard, until Baili Xiao’s face turned pale and she even struggled to breathe.

...

He clenched her neck and pulled Baili Xiao’s head closer to his own, gazing at her pitiable face as he said in a low tone, “Everyone has the right to choose their own path in life, and I don’t judge others’ choices lightly.

But once you make your choice, you have to pay the price for it, even if it costs you your life.”

After he finished speaking, Xu Zimei flung Baili Xiao away.

Baili Xiao’s body crashed heavily against the rockery in the courtyard; she got up awkwardly, her complexion pale, gasping for air, with sweat trickling down her forehead.

“I don’t know where I might have offended Elder Brother Xu. If it was an unintentional act, I hope Elder Brother Xu will forgive me,” said Baili Xiao, not with anger but with sincere eyes as she looked at Xu Zimei.

An adult should always control their emotions appropriately; those who aspire to greatness do not sweat the small stuff.

Xu Zimei looked at Baili Xiao and said, “Get lost while I’m still in a good mood.

However, our affair isn’t over yet. Have you ever experienced the feeling when your beloved is being tortured right before your eyes, and you’re completely powerless to stop it?

Truly exhilarating!”

As he spoke, Xu Zimei laughed loudly, his face slightly twisted with a hint of madness in his smile.

“If Elder Brother Xu has any demands, this is a matter between us and I hope you will refrain from killing the innocent,” Baili Xiao replied calmly, then said, “Your sister here is feeling unwell today and will head back first. I’ll come to find Elder Brother another time when the opportunity arises.”

Watching Baili Xiao’s retreating figure, Xu Zimei leaned back alone on a lounge chair in the courtyard, turning his head to gaze at the sunset, his eyes profound.

Two days later, Xiao Guizi also returned from Zhouque City. Since Shili Changkong found it inconvenient to come to the True Martial Holy Sect, Xiao Guizi arranged for him to stay in a small town under the Holy Sect.

Meanwhile, in the living quarters of the Outer Sect Disciples, Yan Buhui regained consciousness from his coma.

This time he had been unconscious for three days and nights, and the moment he became clear-headed, his first thought was of his sword.

Seeing the long sword quietly resting on the table brought him relief.

His body was wrapped in bandages, and although he felt extremely weak, in reality, the real injury was only the stab wound to his abdomen.

Just then, the door opened, and an old man came in carrying a bowl of porridge.

“If you can move, eat this,” the old man said flatly.

Yan Buhui recognized the man; he was one of the True Martial Holy Sect’s Outer Sect Elders, the same one who had been the referee during his spar with Xu Ren.

“Thank you, Elder Pang,” Yan Buhui knew the elder had saved him and quickly expressed his thanks.

Then he picked up the porridge and began to drink.

“Although you defeated Xu Ren, the matter won’t end there,” the elder said, looking at Yan Buhui.

“I know, I’ll face the soldiers with my own shield and the water with my own earth,” Yan Buhui replied with a smile.

“I’ll point you to a clear path. Go to Goose Southern Peak, you’ll find someone there who can help you,” the elder said before leaving.

Yan Buhui watched the door slowly close, fell silent for a moment, then picked up his thin porridge and started drinking again.

……

“Brother, the matter with Yu Bo has been resolved,” a few days later, Xiao Guizi came to Goose Southern Peak and said to Xu Zimei with a smile.

“What was the outcome?” Xu Zimei asked curiously.

“I did as you said before and inquired about Yu Bo in the Outer Sect. He was arrogant because of his high aptitude, looking down on many Outer Sect Disciples.

Especially since he seduced the dao companion of one of the disciples,” Xiao Guizi chuckled and said, “I found that disciple and gave him the Condensing Vein Pill.

He agreed to my request and challenged Yu Bo as soon as he broke through to the Condensing Vein Realm.”

“And then?” Xu Zimei asked.

“I just came back from the Combat Stage; that disciple must have been driven by anger. Yu Bo had already surrendered, but he didn’t stop hitting him,” Xiao Guizi laughed, “Now he’s been suppressed by the Outer Sect Elders, but Yu Bo has also been beaten to a pulp.

I estimate he won’t recover for ten days to half a month.”

Xu Zimei nodded and said, “When you strike a snake, you must hit the vital parts. You need to be ruthless, or else he won’t remember the lesson.”

“What do you mean, brother?” Xiao Guizi asked in surprise.

“Find someone to ruin his aptitude,” Xu Zimei said calmly.

Xiao Guizi hesitated for a bit before slowly saying, “After all, his master is an Inner Sect Elder. If this kind of thing is discovered, it would be quite scandalous.”

“You must understand something. It’s precisely because he has king-level aptitude that the Inner Sect Elder was willing to take him in,” Xu Zimei said with a faint smile, “If his aptitude is destroyed, he will no longer be worth investing in.

Do you think that Inner Sect Elder would make a big fuss over a cripple, causing a great disturbance?”

Xiao Guizi nodded in perplexity, feeling that there was some logic to what Xu Zimei said.

“Go ahead and do it. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens,” Xu Zimei waved his hand and replied.

………

The Heavenly Sword Sect was located to the west of Beacon Fire City, with the entire mountain peak standing upright between heaven and earth, like a sharp sword.

Although the strongest among the Heavenly Sword Sect were only at the Esteem Vein Realm, considered a mere third-rate power.

For many youngsters without any background, this place was still their Holy Land for cultivation.

In the mornings at the Heavenly Sword Sect, the early sun shone down from the sky, awakening all beings. The light heralded the arrival of a new day.

At the central location of the Heavenly Sword Sect, there is a peculiar place called Heavenly Sword Peak.

The name of the Heavenly Sword Sect came from this peculiar place. It is said that the Sect’s first-generation founder, Heavenly Sword Elder, once fought with a strong opponent of equal Esteem Vein Realm level here for three days and nights.

In the end, his Sword Intent tore through the firmament and, with one strike, he killed his opponent. But the Sword Intent did not stop after slaying the enemy.

It split a nearby mountain peak in half, and Sword Intent wrapped around the mountain for tens of meters. From then on, the mountain gained a new name.

“Heavenly Sword Peak!”

As for the elder who wielded that Sword Intent, his name itself was a mystery, and people have grown accustomed to calling him the Heavenly Sword Elder.

……

Inside the Heavenly Sword Peak lies the Sword Intent remnants left by the Heavenly Sword Elder after that battle, so all the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect often come here to comprehend the Sword Intent, hoping one day to understand their own Sword Intent.
