She is Jianxiu

Chapter 1394 Before Zhang Erliu Sets Off
Guo Xian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, thinking to himself that with Zuo Hong's words, the rest would not be difficult to handle.

Upon learning that Zhao Yan intended to intervene in Dingxian City, the Xiao clan behind Xiao Pingyu was naturally in a state of panic. After all, this matter was personally ordered by their ancestor Xiao Fu, and if it failed, even the Void Realm cultivators above would likely suffer.

Xiao Ping cursed under his breath and hurriedly reported the matter back. In less than a quarter of an hour, he was summoned by Xiao Yingquan.

This man remained calm and composed, seemingly having planned everything in advance. Upon seeing the newcomer, he merely glanced at him sideways before chuckling, "If Dingxian City were truly so easily obtained, it wouldn't be still unresolved today. Let's wait and see. Zhao Chun is no pushover; this time, facing the nine families and fourteen factions in the city, she's bound to cause a major ruckus. By then, people like Wei Yan and Huang Xin will surely know which side to side to pledge allegiance to."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Pingyu was immediately relieved and flattered, "It's fortunate that Uncle is here, otherwise we juniors would not know what to do if we encountered this situation."

"Hmph!" Xiao Yingquan narrowed his eyes, glanced at her with a half-smile, and said with a hint of admonition, "Enough with the idle talk. Now that Xiao Lin is dead, there are quite a few complaints about you in the clan. You should be more careful and do this matter well, otherwise there are plenty of people in the clan who can take your place."

When this matter was brought up, both of them looked rather unpleasant.

Xiao Pingyu's face turned ashen, and he looked embarrassed. He said that although Xiao Lin died at the hands of Zhao Chun, the commotion that day was enormous. As soon as Xiao Fu came out of the pass, he immediately learned of the matter. After a few words of questioning, no one dared to argue. Xiao Yingquan, who was also a Dongxu cultivator, was no match for Hai Qing, and the elders below were all incompetent. This made Xiao Fu furious. Now he has demoted her to the south in order to atone for his sins.

She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and thought to herself that all of this started with Zhao Chun, and she would never let Zhao Chun succeed!

Inside the City of Swords, the morning light shines and a thin mist rises.

This should have been the most peaceful time of day, but a powerful aura suddenly gathered in the City of Swords. Many people with weaker cultivation levels had to detour around it, otherwise their true essence would immediately tremble from the impact of that aura.

Some, out of curiosity, couldn't help but secretly observe the area. After glancing in the direction, they whispered in surprise, "Isn't that Zhao Yan's garrison? Why is there such a large commotion today?"

The cultivator beside him couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face, boasting of his extensive knowledge, and said, "You don't know this, do you? A few days ago, Zhao Chun, the Sword Lord of Zhaoyan, who had just won the title of the Great Dao Leader, entered the city. I heard that now, all the affairs of Zhaoyan have been handed over to her. Such a good opportunity, even I would want to take the chance to make a great contribution."

"Look, those dressed in black are the elites of Zhaoyan Sect, like the patrol disciples of our sect. They are all extraordinary."

The onlookers felt a chill run down their spines. They focused their attention on the distance, their expressions becoming even more serious. They thought to themselves with a sense of dread, "So this is the true strength of the immortal sects. Any one of these elite disciples would be a treasured genius in any heavenly sect. They would never be so easily released to be used by others."

Looking at that imposing line of cultivators in the External Transformation stage, even the elders of various families would turn pale upon seeing them.

It was absolutely terrifying!
The reason for this major event, requiring the mobilization of such a large elite force, was unknown. This was the largest operation Zhaoyan had undertaken in a century. While others remained confused, the thousands of enforcement disciples before them understood their duties after the sect's order was issued yesterday. Yan Xiaoning had brought three thousand enforcement disciples with him, including two thousand at the Integration Stage, nine hundred at the True Infant Stage, and one hundred at the External Transformation Stage. The largest group of Integration Stage disciples were usually led by True Infant Stage disciples, who patrolled a few nearby areas to investigate anomalies. The ones truly responsible for providing support and eliminating evil spirits were the hundred or so External Transformation Stage disciples.

These disciples usually acted separately, and there was almost never a time when they were all gathered together like today.

Therefore, at this point, those whose names were called by their superiors couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Senior Brother Jie."

The man giving instructions on the platform had a straight nose and square mouth, and his eyebrows and eyes were very cold. When he was suddenly called out, his expression did not change much. He just turned his head slightly, and when he saw who it was, he nodded and softened his tone, saying, "Junior Brother Chi has arrived."

Neither of them were talkative. Chi Zangfeng had come to find him precisely to explain the arrangements made by their superiors. The two understood each other without saying a word and found a secluded place to talk. The remaining low-ranking disciples, full of curiosity, couldn't help but whisper among themselves: "That's Commander Chi. He looks really young. I heard that his lifespan after achieving externalization is more than half that of Commander Jie."

As soon as she finished speaking, a young woman with slightly dark skin smiled and whispered to the group, "You guys joined the sect late, so you probably don't know much about it. This Commander Chi used to be under Commander Jie's command. When Senior Brother was still a junior officer, his subordinates were truly a place where hidden talents and powerful figures resided. It wasn't just Commander Chi; even Elder Zhao Chun, the leader of the Great Dao, used to be under his command."

She was filled with emotion and sighed, "That was only a few hundred years ago. Now, both of my senior brothers have become captains, and she is already the head elder."

The younger disciples were unaware of these things, and upon hearing this, they eagerly pressed the woman for more information. It wasn't until Jie Feixuan returned that they finally shut their mouths, as if they hadn't finished speaking.

Jie Feixuan seemed completely unaware that a surge of emotions had passed through the hearts of these disciples. He summoned a few Nascent Soul cultivators and solemnly instructed them: "On this trip to Dingxian City, you must all keep a close eye on your subordinates. If you sense anything amiss or have any uncertainties, do not act rashly. Report to me immediately and await the elder's decision."

"I must tell you that the forces within Dingxian City are complex, and caution is of course necessary. However, when we disciples travel, we also represent the face of the sect. Therefore, Elder Zhao said that if anyone harbors ulterior motives and obstructs our actions, you are given the right to make your own judgment."

The young woman with slightly dark skin, who was undoubtedly a true infant-level flag bearer, stood at the front. Upon hearing this, she was puzzled and asked, "If we are to make our own judgment, then to what extent can we proceed?"

Without hesitation, Jie Feixuan replied immediately: "Those who refuse to listen to advice shall be rebuked; those who do not relent after being rebuked shall be killed!"

After he finished speaking, the disciples were shocked. Even though they were still in the City of Swords, they seemed to be able to travel thousands of miles and foresee the bloodshed in another city.
