8: The real pride

“Senior Sister Feng’s talent is extraordinary. It seems there was a mistake in the initial talent test, which caused Senior Sister Feng to suffer. Junior Sister, are you willing to join Azure Sky Peak?” Senior Brother Xu pondered, if such a Prodigy could go to Azure Sky Peak, it would surely make Azure Sky Peak even more prosperous.

As for the talk of snatching a Disciple, it might not sound good, but for a Disciple of such talent, he believed the Peak Master wouldn’t mind losing a little Face.

Furthermore, the current Piao Miao Peak has little value and simply cannot be compared to the prosperous Azure Sky Peak.

Recruiting a Prodigy is also a great achievement!

“Unwilling.”

“Senior Sister Feng, Piao Miao Peak currently lacks resources, while Azure Sky Peak not only has many Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters but also powerful Elders who can provide guidance at any time, which will surely allow Junior Sister to go further on the Immortal Path.”

Senior Brother Xu began to persuade her, firmly believing that anyone seeking immortality would not be able to refuse resources and the guidance of powerful individuals.

“No need.”

The response was still a cold voice.

“Stubborn and unyielding. Since that’s the case, then let you know our power. And let you understand that a main peak is not something one or two of you can occupy.”

“You want Piao Miao Peak? Does Azure Heaven not know that there’s still one year left until the Sect’s regulated time?” Qin Tian stood up from the grand armchair, which creaked.

Qin Tian looked at the few people. From the moment they arrived, he understood that these people coveted Piao Miao Peak.

The Spiritual Qi on Piao Miao Peak is rich, ranking among the top in the Nine Peaks.

It is indeed suitable for Cultivation. It’s not that he wants to waste Sect resources, but his Master had instructed him before leaving to make sure to protect Piao Miao Peak.

He naturally couldn’t let Azure Sky Peak occupy it.

Now that his strength has Broken Through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, it’s time to display his power and let them know that Piao Miao Peak is not something anyone can bully.

Qin Tian circulated his Spiritual Qi, preparing to deal with these guys.

“You are not their opponent.” Phoenix Moon reached out and stopped Qin Tian.

Qin Tian was only at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, while on the other side were two Foundation Establishment Initial Stages plus one Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

“There’s still a year, but we’re just here to Cultivate. It’ll be fine to officially become an Azure Sky Peak subsidiary after a year.” Senior Brother Xu chuckled.

Before the deadline, it was fine to let Piao Miao Peak remain Piao Miao Peak in name; it wouldn't hurt anything.

But this place, Azure Sky Peak needed to use it.

There were too many Disciples on Azure Sky Peak, and conflicts often arose due to Spiritual Qi during Cultivation.

And he had come this time with instructions from above, otherwise, he wouldn't have come.

“Junior Sister’s talent is exceptional, so I won’t hold back, I’ll go all out. If you don’t want to get hurt, just surrender proactively.”

“We’re just Cultivating on Piao Miao Peak. Piao Miao Peak is vast, and a few more of us won’t be in the way.”

As long as the three of them stayed, it would be much easier for the Azure Sky Peak Disciples to come over gradually later.

“Dream on.” Qin Tian said coldly, it’s easy to invite a god but hard to send one away; this precedent cannot be set.

Although he now had the System, his Junior Sister hadn't grown up yet, and neither had he.

Once Azure Sky Peak Disciples moved in, it wouldn't be up to him anymore.

“Since that’s the case, then let’s see if Senior Brother Qin has the strength to drive us away. Senior Brother Qin, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall won’t be coming, don’t count on them.”

Qin Tian’s Face turned cold. Law Enforcement Hall Disciples were chosen from each peak, and coincidentally, Piao Miao Peak had none.

And the most were naturally from Azure Sky Peak. From the time he sent the message until now, no Law Enforcement Hall Disciples had shown up, and it was likely they wouldn’t.

“Attack together.” Senior Brother Xu wasn’t going to waste any more words. People don’t learn from teaching, but after a beating, Qin Tian would behave.

As long as Qin Tian wasn’t killed, sparring between fellow Disciples was normal. Swords have no eyes, and no one would say anything about a few injuries.

“Yes.” The two Foundation Establishment Initial Stage Disciples responded in unison.

The three of them attacked fiercely.

“Overestimating yourselves.”

Phoenix Moon let out a soft cry, and a Sword Intent soared into the sky. This Sword Intent was as sharp as frost, as swift as lightning, carrying an irresistible, formidable momentum.

It was like an invisible giant sword, capable of severing all illusions in the world. Around the sword body, the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound. The light was even more dazzling than the blazing sun, making people dare not look directly at it.

She hadn’t used her true strength just now.

Phoenix Moon casually swung a sword, the sword light flashing like starlight, carrying an endless killing aura.

Above Piao Miao Peak, an invisible sword condensed, formed by the convergence of Sword Intent.

On the ground, centered around Phoenix Moon, subtle cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb, and loose stones clattered down. A strong wind suddenly rose, howling and swirling around the Sword Intent, as if worshiping this powerful force. Leaves were swept up, spiraling away into the distance, as if fleeing in panic from this terrifying aura.

Distant birds, sensing this astonishing aura, flapped their wings in alarm and flew high, emitting frightened cries. And those timid wild beasts cowered in their caves, trembling and not daring to make a sound.

Phoenix Moon’s gaze was stern and firm, as if she had merged with the Sword Intent, exuding an inviolable majesty.

Qin Tian stroked his beard and hair, which were blown by the sword Qi.

A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

So powerful.

Now I can do it too.

The moment Phoenix Moon unleashed her Sword Intent, Qin Tian seemed to have a sudden Epiphany, and the true understanding of that Sword Intent appeared in his mind.

If it weren't for the presence of others, he wouldn't have been able to resist trying a sword strike to test the power of the Sword Intent.

Sword Intent is something only a Sword Dao Great Master can comprehend. With the amplification of Sword Intent, the improvement in personal combat strength is immeasurable.

Fighting above one’s cultivation level is merely commonplace for those who have comprehended Sword Intent.

Senior Brother Xu and his two Junior Brothers, the three of them, stopped in their tracks the moment the Sword Intent appeared, not continuing their attack.

The pupils of the three men constricted violently, as if they had seen something of immense terror.

Facing Phoenix Moon’s Sword Intent directly, the three felt as if the world was crashing down on them, with starlight from the heavens striking them.

And they were like a few ants on the ground.

The sword Qi struck the few people, and the magical swords in their hands instantly broke. At the same time, three “bang bang” sounds rang out, and the three were sent flying by the sword Qi, crashing to the ground.

“Pfft.” Crimson blood sprayed from their mouths.

“Scram.” Phoenix Moon did not kill them. The Sect had a rule against killing fellow Disciples, but since these few had trespassed into Piao Miao Peak, a small punishment would not warrant any complaints.

“Go.”

Senior Brother Xu led the two away in a hurry; they were not her match.

Entering the Sect and reaching Qi Great Perfection in ten days, comprehending Sword Intent—is this even human?

“Junior Sister, truly amazing.” Qin Tian gave a thumbs-up.

Phoenix Moon glanced at Qin Tian but didn’t bother with him, turning and returning to her room.

“There are still two months and twenty days. As long as I successfully complete Foundation Establishment, I can surpass Qin Tian. I wonder what the System will reward me with.”

The final reward is entering the Immortal Realm. Although Qin Tian is only the first target to surpass, the reward shouldn’t be too bad. It would be best if it were Fire Pill.
