All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 98 - 97: Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation!_1

Is the Wilderness beyond the Twenty-One Provinces?

This was common knowledge. People didn’t understand why the usually silent Su Bei had suddenly uttered such an inexplicable statement.

In a corner, an old man dressed as a beggar watched the Qingping Sword above Su Bei’s head, a hint of fervor in his eyes. He exclaimed, "The fifth lad has actually mastered the Selfless Realm to perfection!"

He then lowered his gaze to an ancient-looking golden token in his hand, with a small ring engraved on it. What exactly is this token? The second lad’s third disciple has also gone missing...

After a moment of silence, he took one more deep look at Su Bei and then disappeared without a trace.

Su Bei calmly met everyone’s gaze. He recalled the Qingping Sword to his hand and, stroking the blade, continued without regard for their puzzled looks,

"Two thousand years ago, countless cultivators who neglected Qi cultivation and focused solely on physical training suddenly appeared in the Wilderness. This cataclysm came to be known as the Cataclysm of Ten Thousand Clans.

"Under the terrifying onslaught of the Wilderness cultivators, who were overwhelmingly more powerful than those of the same realm from the Twenty-One Provinces, Yenzhou fell in an instant. The Wilderness cultivators crossed the Cang River and entered the Twenty-One Provinces in droves, leaving devastation in their wake.

"The sects of the Twenty-One Provinces, for the sake of their continued existence, closed their doors, resulting in the massive loss of their lands.

"Until the Sword Sect joined the battle.

"The Sword Sect, then known as the Underworld Sword Sect, deployed eight hundred Nascent Soul Sword Immortals and tens of thousands of Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"The fierce Sword Qi of the Sword Cultivators posed a far greater threat to the Wilderness cultivators than any other, instilling fear in their hearts.

"Countless sword lights soared into the sky, and Sword Qi rampaged like a blizzard. The scene of roaring sword lights was still perceivable from a thousand miles away.

"Above the firmament, each step was that of a Sword Immortal. Each passing left devastation in its wake, as countless Sword Cultivators sacrificed their very beings for their swords.

"The entire Twenty-One Provinces were shaken by the vast Sword Qi. The buzzing sound was endless, making it feel like being immersed in deep water and fierce fire.

"That battle resulted in rivers of blood and mountains of bones. It was also that battle where the entire Twenty-One Provinces truly witnessed the horror of the Sword Cultivators.

"It’s just a pity for those eight hundred Sword Immortals."

Su Bei slowly narrated all this. Everyone’s spirits were downcast, and no one spoke.

Unseasonable heavy snow drifted down.

Inside the Red Pavilion, Xiao Ruoching, who had yet to emerge, stared at Su Bei with a vacant gaze.

The Cataclysm of Ten Thousand Clans... a secret that was not at all a secret... Mortals only knew the line from historical records: ’During the Cataclysm of Ten Thousand Clans, all cultivators united to repel it, and then retreated.’ In her previous life, she had vaguely known some obscure details, but it was far from being as shocking as what she was hearing now from her master!

Xiao Ruoching’s gaze shifted, watching the white-clothed figure. He was the same as in her previous life, yet subtly different. Her heart pounded, and without realizing it, her fists clenched lightly.

Finally, a member of the crowd ventured to ask, "And... what happened next?"

Su Bei glanced indifferently at the person who spoke, then smiled faintly and said offhandedly, "Afterward?"

"Afterward, the fallen Sword Sect lost the title ’Underworld.’"

His extremely serene words carried no embellishments.

But even Fang Yu’s and Qin Shan’s eyes couldn’t help but glaze over momentarily.

Indeed, after that Cataclysm of Ten Thousand Clans, the world owed the Sword Sect too much. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Xiao Ruoching’s lips pursed slightly. At this moment, she seemed to have an epiphany, as if she had barely touched the first layer of the Sword Scripture.

Mo Li looked at Su Bei with a somewhat bewildered gaze. She didn’t understand why Su Bei had remained silent and hadn’t defended himself, nor why, after his silence, he suddenly spoke such heavy words.

No one laughed, nor did anyone speak.

Su Bei shook his head, turned around, and gently slid the Qingping Sword back into its sheath.

CLANG!

His faint words, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, echoed quietly over Mo City as if he were talking to himself.

"I am saying all this just to tell everyone.

"The people of the Sword Sect do not defend themselves, just as they did not during the Cataclysm of Ten Thousand Clans two thousand years ago."

After a slight pause, he whispered softly,

"People of the Sword Sect.

"They have never won any battle of public opinion.

"But they have never lost a fight for the great righteousness of the world!!"

BOOM!

As Su Bei’s voice fell, it was as if a giant hand had tightly gripped everyone’s heart.

Their minds went blank, lost in a daze.

It was as if they had suddenly gained enlightenment, and a boundless sense of guilt surfaced on their faces.

Indescribable tears welled in their eyes.

Xiao Ruoching’s pupils shrank sharply. Listening to Su Bei’s words, in an instant, her understanding of the first layer of the Sword Scripture—which she hadn’t grasped despite days of cultivation—fell into place as naturally as water flowing into a channel.

Sword Scripture, Sword One, deeply ingrained!

Su Bei turned to the side. His eyes squinted as he looked at the already shocked crowd, and his lips couldn’t help but curve into a slight smile.

All set! How could the Sword Sect’s recruitment not be explosively popular this time? But this fire isn’t enough! It has to burn even brighter!

Just as Su Bei was contemplating his next move, a DING! suddenly sounded in his mind.

"’Congratulations to the host’s first disciple on successfully understanding the Sword Scripture, Sword One, deeply ingrained.’"

"’Host receives a hundredfold feedback, comprehending Sword Scripture, Sword One, deeply ingrained (each use of Sword One will cause a hundredfold damage to opponents of the same realm).’"

"’Congratulations to the host’s first disciple on first-time comprehension of a cultivation technique, earning fifty million experience points.’"

"’Current realm: Late Stage of Divinity Transformation.’"

Su Bei swallowed hard. His excitement was indescribable!

Indeed, she is my treasured disciple! She comprehended a cultivation technique after just a few words? I must reward my precious disciple well! But... isn’t she practicing ’The Protagonist Must Cultivate This Technique’? Why was it the Sword Scripture that I use to prop up my bed?

Su Bei frowned slightly, but he didn’t dwell on it much.

Feeling his divine soul suddenly expand significantly, the surface of the miniature Su Bei shone with a gleam, as if it too had grown a bit larger!

—Ah! It was the miniature Su Bei within his Golden Core transforming into a Nascent Soul.

It’s a pity my breakthrough didn’t cause any heavenly phenomena. Otherwise, I could have taken this opportunity to show off again...

Su Bei sighed with a hint of disappointment.

He slowly turned around but then suddenly froze.

All those previously aggressive people were now looking at him with tearful eyes. Then, someone gently whispered, "The great righteousness of the Sword Sect!"

"The great righteousness of Elder Su!"

The next moment, solemn voices echoed throughout the land:

"The great righteousness of the Sword Sect!"

"The great righteousness of Elder Su!!"

"Elder Su, please punish me!!"

Yu Hongxiu’s eyes were wide open, her ample chest heaving violently as she watched everything unfold before her.

She took another deep look at Su Bei, who stood with hands behind his back.

He manipulates people’s hearts so easily, turning situations upside down with a flick of his hand—what on earth is in this man’s mind? It’s hard to imagine what sort of game this man, who hides his cultivation, is playing within the Sword Sect.
