What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

Cangxuan Realm, Lingtian Sword Sect's main hall.

Sect Master Xuanling Zhenren sat in a high position, with several elders of Lingtian Sword Sect sitting on either side.

The girl in the pink dress stood quietly behind Xuanling Zhenren.

Master Xuanling glanced at the crowd around him, pondered for a moment, and then revealed what he knew.

"Gentlemen, news has come back from Lin'an City that the woman has appeared. But the assassins who were hunting her have been killed. Even..."

At this point, Master Xuanling frowned slightly, as if he found it difficult to speak the next words.

Seeing this, an old man on the left couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Sect Master, please speak frankly, what's wrong with that woman?"

After a slight hesitation, Master Xuanling finally sighed and said:

"Sigh, it's said that woman has found a powerful backer. Now, no one dares to accept our sect's kill order anymore."

A young man sitting on the right immediately widened his eyes upon hearing this and stared intently at Master Xuanling, saying:

"What? How could this happen? That vicious woman not only seriously injured our junior sister, but also killed Senior Brother Changfeng. Are we just going to give up like this?"

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanling frowned deeply and looked at the speaker, saying in a deep voice, "If you don't give up, you'll go after them?"

The young man being stared at immediately choked on his words and dared not say anything more.

Although she spoke arrogantly, everyone knew that the reason that woman was seriously injured was because of Xuanling Zhenren's unexpected sneak attack.

Otherwise, even the entire Lingtian Sword Sect would find it difficult to keep that person.

An awkward atmosphere suddenly formed in the main hall, and no one said anything more.

In the midst of this awkward atmosphere, the woman in pink who had been standing behind Xuanling Zhenren suddenly spoke up.

"Master, and elders, this is all my fault. I should have held back when my eldest sister seriously injured me, otherwise things wouldn't be like this today..."

Halfway through her sentence, the woman in pink suddenly lowered her head and began to weep.

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with the sound of women crying, a heartbreaking sound.

The awkward and tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

Almost everyone's attention immediately fell on the girl in pink.

Some showed concern, others felt pity...

It seemed that every move the girl made could captivate everyone's attention.

In an instant, regardless of their cultivation level, everyone offered words of comfort.

"Girl, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. That woman was too cruel."

"Yes, Junior Sister, don't worry, the sect will never let her run wild."

Xuanling Zhenren looked at the weeping girl in pink behind him, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder, saying in a deep voice:

"Don't cry, this has nothing to do with you. You are a disciple of my Lingtian Sword Sect. If you have been wronged, the sect will naturally seek justice for you."

As for that ruthless and vicious woman who kills her own fellow disciples, even if she has powerful backers, my Lingtian Sword Sect is not afraid of her!

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have taken any chances and let that traitor go! I should have killed him outright!"

The girl in pink raised her tear-streaked face, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked at Master Xuanling, choking back sobs:

"Master... but no one dares to accept the kill order anymore, we..."

"If no one dares to bid, then raise the price!" Master Xuanling's tone was firm, his gaze sweeping over the elders as he spoke in a deep voice:

"Double the reward for the kill order, plus three Foundation Establishment Pills. Whoever can kill or capture that woman will receive the full reward!"

Upon hearing this, all the elders nodded in agreement.

"Sect Master is wise! A generous reward will surely attract brave men; in this way, even stronger individuals will come forward to accept the kill order!"

"That rebellious Lin Qishuang should be back soon; it's a good time to settle her scores all at once!"

Upon seeing this scene, a barely perceptible glint flashed in the eyes of the girl in pink.

She then resumed her gentle demeanor, bowed gracefully to Xuanling Zhenren, and said, "Thank you, Master, and thank you, elders, for upholding justice."

However, just as everyone was comforting the girl in pink, and Master Xuanling was about to instruct his disciples to revise the kill order and spread the news.

A cold yet resolute voice suddenly came from the foot of Lingtian Sword Sect Mountain.

The sound penetrated the main hall, reaching everyone's ears clearly, carrying endless resentment and determination.

"Lingtian Sword Sect, I, Lin Qishuang, have returned!"

His voice was loud and clear, causing the beams and pillars of the main hall to tremble slightly, but the hatred in his tone was so intense it seemed to pierce the sky.

In an instant, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed drastically.

Master Xuanling abruptly stood up, his gaze sharp as he looked down the mountain, and said in a deep voice:

"Lin Qishuang?! She actually dares to come back? She's practically courting death!"

Having said that, before anyone could react, Master Xuanling had already flown out of the main hall.

The remaining people inside the hall followed suit and went out as well.

Almost simultaneously, the entire Lingtian Sword Sect was placed under martial law.

……

At the foot of Lingtian Sword Sect Mountain.

Lin Qishuang held the Qingping Sword in one hand and put the other behind her back, staring coldly at the two mountain-guarding disciples who were blocking her way.

Returning to this familiar place, her thoughts were no longer the same as before.

There was a time when, whenever she reached the foot of the mountain and saw the disciples guarding it, all her weariness would vanish.

Because she knew that seeing the disciples guarding the mountain meant she had arrived home.

But now, looking at the two mountain-guarding disciples who were drawing their swords at her, Lin Qishuang felt a chill in her heart.

As the senior disciple of the sect, Lin Qishuang took great care of every junior brother and sister in the sect.

The two brothers in front of us were no exception.

In fact, the two brothers in front of her were orphans she rescued from the Blood Demon Sect when she wiped them out.

She took them back to the Lingtian Sword Sect, fed them, and taught them the ways of cultivation.

They were taught each move and each sword technique step by step.

But now, the first thing these two brothers did upon seeing him was to draw their swords against each other.

How could Lin Qishuang, who still harbored a sliver of hope, not feel disheartened?

"Li Qingshan, Li Yunhai, you two are no match for me. Get out of my way, and I'll spare your lives!"

"You fiend! You severely injured your junior sister and killed your senior brother, yet you dare to return!"

"That's right, you traitor! Quickly lay down your weapons, surrender, and await the sect leader's judgment!"

The two men, though terrified, still maintained a righteous and indignant expression, calling each other "demon" and "traitor."

Lin Qishuang's last glimmer of hope was finally shattered.

If even these two people view themselves this way, what about others?

"Very good, very good."

Looking at the two people who had drawn their swords against her, Lin Qishuang finally smiled:

"Your lives were given to you by me, and today I take them back!"
