6: A half-human, half-demon junior sister!
There are Five Great Families in Tianxu City, and the Leng Family is one of them.
Most of the children from the families in Tianxu City join the Tianxu Sect to cultivate.
Five days after the city was sealed.
The Leng Family.
Inside a pavilion in a garden.
"Daughter, can you really not let your cousin stay at our house? Many experts from various places have gathered outside the city now. If she leaves now, I'm afraid she'll be in danger." A Beautiful Woman sighed with a worried expression as she looked at Leng Jueyi.
There was no ripple in Leng Jueyi's eyes as she coldly said, "Our Leng Family is one of the Five Great Families. If we let people from other sects stay in our home right now and the news gets out, it will be detrimental to our Leng Family."
"Moreover, the Sect Leader has already ordered that no one from any other sect is allowed to enter Tianxu City."
"It's not that I'm heartless, but the sect's orders cannot be disobeyed!"
Hearing her daughter's words, the Beautiful Woman finally couldn't help but scold, "Leng Jueyi, can you really not show even a bit of flexibility? She is your cousin! Don't forget, if your aunt hadn't protected you at the cost of her own life back then, you would have died long ago!"
"She is my sister's only child. If you make her leave now, how is that any different from sending her to her death?"
"Besides, it's not like you don't know. She's just an Outer Sect Disciple in the Jiesheng Sect and can't even touch the core. Three years ago, you didn't let her enter the Tianxu Sect because of the Yao Race Bloodline in her body. I didn't blame you then."
"But she only comes back once every three years. As her cousin, are you really this heartless?"
Leng Jueyi stood up.
Looking at her mother, she slowly shook her head. "Rules are rules. The Sect Leader has given an order, and I must obey!"
A mocking look appeared on the Beautiful Woman's face. "In other words, a person who has only just stepped into cultivation for three years will affect the grand plan of your Tianxu Sect?"
"Mother, we enjoy the favor of the Tianxu Sect, so we should naturally prioritize the Tianxu Sect."
"If my cousin hadn't joined another sect, I naturally wouldn't drive her away. But she is now a Disciple of the Jiesheng Sect, so I must drive her out!"
"Even if there is a debt of gratitude, the two cannot be conflated!"
The Beautiful Woman snorted coldly. "What a fine 'cannot be conflated'!"
"Do you dare to say there are no people from other sects in the city?"
"Leng Jueyi, I think you've lost your mind!"
"Simply unreasonable!"
After saying this, the Beautiful Woman flicked her sleeves and left... Leng Jueyi watched her mother's departing back and bit her lower lip. "But she is a member of the Jiesheng Sect!"
The front courtyard of the Leng Family.
*Slap!*
A young girl was slapped to the ground. In front of her, a woman in brocade stood arrogantly, looking down at the girl. "Feng Chu, you still have the face to come back? Don't you know that no one in the Leng Family wants to see you?"
As the woman in brocade spoke, a cold light appeared in her hand as she pointed her sword at the girl on the ground. "You half-human, half-yao monster, and now a Disciple of the Jiesheng Sect. Even if I kill you now, the Madam won't be able to say anything."
The girl clutched her face, tears in her eyes. "I just came to visit my aunt. I didn't intend to stay in the Leng Family for long."
The woman in brocade's eyes were filled with disgust, especially when she saw the feathers on the girl's right hand; her disgust grew even stronger.
"Don't say your cousin is treating you poorly. Get out of the Leng Family now, or else I, as your cousin, won't mind killing you!"
Feng Chu looked at the long sword in front of her and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I can leave, but I want to say goodbye to my aunt."
The woman in brocade seemed to have reached the limit of her patience. "Say goodbye? Are you even worthy?"
"Get out!!"
As the woman in brocade spoke, another slap was about to land on the girl's face.
*Slap!!*
The girl closed her eyes, and the sound of the slap rang out, but she didn't feel any pain.
When she opened her eyes, the woman in brocade had been sent flying, leaving a deep mark on the ground. Blood was constantly being spat out from the woman's mouth.
"Did you eat a Dragon King's gallbladder?"
"Can you people really bully a Disciple of my Jiesheng Sect?"
A faint voice sounded beside Feng Chu. She looked up, and a familiar face came into view. "Eld... Eldest Senior Brother!!"
Feng Chu's eyes widened when she saw who it was, and she said in disbelief.
It was true that she was a Disciple of the Jiesheng Sect, but she was just an insignificant Outer Sect Disciple who had joined three years ago.
In fact...
There were very few fellow Disciples who even remembered her name.
Let alone Shen Xuansheng, the Eldest Senior Brother!
It was simply unbelievable!
Shen Xuansheng patted Feng Chu's shoulder gently. "Your Eldest Senior Brother is here. No one can bully you!"
"If anyone dares to lay a hand on you, your Eldest Senior Brother will cut off their hand!"
As Shen Xuansheng spoke, a surge of Dharmic Power flicked out from his finger, rushing toward the woman in brocade on the ground.
*Bang!!*
Just as the Dharmic Power was about to hit the woman in brocade, a Sword Light flashed, blocking Shen Xuansheng's power.
"This is the Leng Family!"
"Who dares to act so presumptuously?"
Leng Jueyi arrived through the air, and beside her were several experts from the Leng Family.
"The Leng Family?"
Shen Xuansheng smiled faintly. "Never heard of it."
"A Disciple of my Jiesheng Sect was bullied here. How should we settle this debt?"
Leng Jueyi looked at Shen Xuansheng. "You are from the Jiesheng Sect?"
"Don't you know that outsiders are not allowed to enter Tianxu City?"
Shen Xuansheng gave a disdainful smile. "Not allowed to enter?"
"The Tianxu Sect sure is putting on quite an air!"
"It's fine to show off in front of others, but to do so in front of my Jiesheng Sect—have you never been out in the world?"
"Chop off her hand yourself, and I'll spare your Leng Family. Otherwise, I will wipe out your Leng Family!"
Upon hearing this...
Feng Chu's body trembled slightly, and her small hand unconsciously grabbed the corner of Shen Xuansheng's clothes. "Eldest Senior Brother, this... this won't do."
"Wipe out my Leng Family? What kind of thing do you think you are?"
Leng Jueyi said angrily, her Dharmic Power surging as she attacked Shen Xuansheng.
However...
"Jueyi, step down!"
In the air...
A phantom appeared and tapped lightly toward Leng Jueyi, causing her Dharmic Power to dissipate instantly.
"Revered Master?"
Leng Jueyi was somewhat surprised to see the phantom.
"I am the Sect Leader of the Tianxu Sect. Your Excellency must be the Jie Sheng Sect Eldest Senior Brother, Shen Xuansheng, right?"
Shen Xuansheng cupped his hands. "Shen Xuansheng of the Jiesheng Sect greets True Person Cang Ling."
The Sect Leader of the Tianxu Sect, True Person Cang Ling.
"Since you've come, why not come directly to my Tianxu Sect? Is the Jiesheng Sect also planning to seize the treasure in secret?" True Person Cang Ling asked, looking at Shen Xuansheng.
Shen Xuansheng slowly shook his head. "True Person Cang Ling must be joking."
"I have only come because I occasionally feel that the huaxu grass is destined for me."
True Person Cang Ling snorted coldly. "What a fine 'destined'. The last one who said it was destined was a Disciple of the Western Heaven Sect, and his Divine Soul was shattered."
"That just means the huaxu grass was not destined for the Western Heaven Sect," Shen Xuansheng said calmly.
"Jueyi, bring him to the Tianxu Sect."
After True Person Cang Ling finished speaking, the phantom dissipated.
"Follow me!"
Leng Jueyi glared fiercely at Shen Xuansheng and turned around to speak.
"Fine!"
The moment Leng Jueyi turned around, a vine suddenly burst out from the ground, instantly severing one of the hands of the woman in brocade.
"Arghhhhhhhh!"
The woman in brocade screamed in agony while clutching her severed hand.
"You!"
Leng Jueyi turned around and stared deathly at Shen Xuansheng. She never expected that Shen Xuansheng would still be thinking about taking action at this moment.
"Fellow Daoist Leng, I said before that there is a price to pay for bullying a Disciple of my Jiesheng Sect. Since she used her hand, then that hand is useless now. It's better to chop it off!"
Shen Xuansheng took Feng Chu and, with clouds forming beneath his feet, flew toward the mountain gate of the Tianxu Sect.
"Shen Xuansheng!!!"
Behind him, Leng Jueyi gnashed her teeth.
However, the Beautiful Woman in the back watched this scene with a look of relief in her eyes: "Chuchu, you won't be bullied anymore..."
