The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

"Master!!!"

Her voice was filled with bloodlust, and after she finished speaking those two words, tears of blood streamed down her face uncontrollably.

In front of her, Senior Sister Yunmo was still invisible; she didn't blink at all... or rather, she couldn't blink at all.

She can't hear either.

She recognized the person in front of her because of Xuan Yuan Gong.

Xuan Yuan Gong was his master's signature move when he was young, and he would teach this skill to every disciple he took a liking to.

Although this technique is not particularly rare, it is commonly used only by the Thunder Punishment Peak lineage, and has almost become the symbol of their Thunder Punishment Peak!

Apart from her master Yan Ge, there is no one else in the world who can use the Xuan Yuan Gong to this extent!

She was kneeling, her knees already damaged, the white bones exposed, and the bloody marks extremely sticky.

She approached, shuffling along on her knees, her whole body trembling: "Master...you've come to take me away?"

Her voice sounded like that of a child who had just learned to speak; it wasn't very flexible, and even her logic wasn't very rigorous.

If you become a zombie... your intelligence will also be destroyed.

It's already a miracle that Yunmo can still speak.

"Master! Yunmo is incompetent... Yunmo is incompetent! The Heavenly Sword Sect has imprisoned Yunmo's body under the pretext of marriage, and is draining Yunmo's spiritual power every day... They only let me enter the Enlightenment Stone Wall."

"Master... Over the years, I have tried countless times to decipher the secrets of the Sword God Technique through the Enlightenment Stone Wall, but... Yunmo failed to bring this method to the sect, and failed to save the sect!"

"Master... Yunmo has been weary, and has questioned herself whether all my sacrifices were worthwhile... But Yunmo has never regretted it! As long as I can save my fellow disciples, everything Yunmo has done is worthwhile!"

"Master... but Yunmo can no longer do it! The Heavenly Sword Sect hid demonic energy in the Enlightenment Stone Wall, intending to control all those who sought enlightenment. When Yunmo found a way to break the spell, they actually stripped away my soul and turned my body into a living corpse!"

"Master...they told me...they killed you with my physical body, and you're still here...that's wonderful."

As she spoke, she cried, then grabbed Chi Miao's hand and humbly raised her head.

She couldn't see anything, and tears kept streaming down her face.

Tears streamed down her temples, across her body, dripping and falling.

She stroked her cheek with Chi Miao's hand: "Master... although Yunmo's body is dead,... Yunmo used her last strength to infuse the method to break the 'Sword God Technique' into her physical body. The living corpse markings on Yunmo's body are the method to break it... Yes, Yunmo did it, Yunmo did it!!"

"But... I can never go back."

"My fellow disciples would be heartbroken if they saw me like this..."

If she couldn't do it, she would never utter the words "Master".

That would bring shame to her sect.

Her emotions grew increasingly tense and her pace quickened:

"Master, please kill Yunmo... Spread out Yunmo's flesh and blood, and the method to break the Sword God Technique will be revealed, and all the junior brothers and sisters of Nine Swords Mountain... will be saved."

"Master... kill Yunmo, save Yunmo, please... kill Yunmo."

She cried, she broke down, her sanity was being torn apart.

As Chi Miao watched this scene, she felt as if her heart had been violently ripped open and churned.

Although she had never met this senior sister, she knew how she had become like this and how upright and noble she had once been.

The senior sister, who was known as the "white moonlight" of the entire Thunder Punishment Peak, can now only speak intermittently, and can only utter key words.

Every word sounded like a shout, because once the voice weakened... rationality would diminish even further.

Senior Sister Yunmo paved the way for herself. Everything she did in the second half of her life was to research a way to break the "Sword God Technique" and save her junior brothers and sisters of Nine Swords Mountain!

She died too young and didn't even know what happened afterward.

Chi Miao touched Yunmo's face with both hands, and she slowly squatted down.

She suddenly felt that if she told the truth, it would be cruel to Senior Sister Yunmo.

Because all of those disciples died...

They were all killed by the out-of-control Rong Yue before the backlash from the "Sword God Technique" arrived.

Chi Miao touched the woman's face with both hands, and then softly uttered a lie:

"Senior Sister Yunmo, everything is alright now."

They're lying to you.

"Master was not killed by your physical body. He discovered everything and used the method of breaking the curse in your body to save all the senior brothers and sisters."

"I am his newly accepted disciple. My name is Chi Miao, which means 'chichi wuzhu' and 'miao ke gui'."

"Senior sister...we've stormed the Heavenly Sword Sect to rescue you."

She didn't know if Senior Sister Yunmo could hear her, but she was willing to create a beautiful dream for Senior Sister Yunmo.

She had already suffered terribly, being turned into a living corpse for so many years before being discovered.

Soon... she will be able to send Senior Sister Yunmo back into the cycle of reincarnation.

Rather than letting her be reborn with the cruel truth, it's better to let her be reborn in a beautiful, false dream.

What startled Chi Miao was—

Senior Sister Yunmo heard it.

"So...so they were lying to me all along."

"So everyone was saved."

"very nice……"

"Chi Miao, what a beautiful name. It's fate that you found me... I guess I won't be able to stay with you for much longer. Come... come here."

She stood up, controlling her strength as much as possible, gently pinched Chi Miao's fingers, and led Chi Miao to the bedside.

Even though controlling her strength like this was enough to make her fingers tremble, she pretended nothing was wrong.

After walking to the bedside, she habitually found a brick and pressed it down.

The stone lattice behind the bed opened, revealing two books. Yunmo murmured, "These are... what I wrote before I died. I hope you can take them back to Nine Swords Mountain."

"One book, I suppose it's a Heaven-rank cultivation technique."

"There's another one... a book I wrote in my spare time at the Heavenly Sword Sect for fun."

"Take them all..."

As Yunmo spoke, she handed the two books to Chi Miao.

Then, she seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Oh, right..."

"Where is Master? Has he come? Is he still angry with me?"

"And...my child, is she still alive?"

Chi Miao responded honestly:

"Master is here, waiting outside!"

"And your child, Yun Yao, is doing very well now. She's already returned to our Nine Swords Mountain clan!"

Yunmo smiled gently, her expression tender: "You're back...that's good."

She was relieved to be able to return to Nine Swords Mountain.

Everyone at Jiujian Mountain is doing well, and she is at ease knowing that her child can grow up there.

Then, she sat on the bed and remained silent for a moment.

Her icy hands suddenly grasped Chi Miao's hands, filled with anticipation, longing, and a forced, bright smile.

"Junior Sister Chi Miao... since everything is alright, please destroy my soul."
