203: Chapter 203 People from a Million Years Ago

Master Miaoxian gripped the blade of the Seven Kill Sword tightly with her fingertips.

The sword body suddenly erupted with blinding red light in her palm.

It was as if a sleeping Vicious Beast had suddenly awakened.

Gurgling blood surged madly along the patterns of the blade, and the red light of the Seven Kill Sword grew increasingly intense.

It bathed Master Miaoxian in a layer of crimson halo.

"Seven Kill Sword First Form — Blood Attraction!"

Master Miaoxian flicked her wrist, and the Seven Kill Sword traced a sharp arc.

A majestic, wave-like red Sword Qi shot out in response, slashing towards the giant sword opposite her.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

The red Sword Qi collided with the giant sword, and cracks instantly covered the giant sword's body like a spiderweb.

After the crisp sound, the giant sword was on the verge of shattering.

"Pfft~"

Ye Wuqing clutched her chest abruptly, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

She looked up at Master Miaoxian in disbelief.

"You... how do you know this move?"

Master Miaoxian's eyes were cold; she ignored her questioning.

Gripping the Seven Kill Sword, she dashed forward, her sword momentum sharp and her killing intent intense.

"Clang!"

Ye Wuqing snorted coldly, suppressing the roiling Qi and blood in her body.

She casually dissipated the giant sword that was on the verge of shattering.

Her wrist turned, her sword was drawn, and she swung it to block in a rush.

"Devil Head Ye, pay with your life!" Master Miaoxian shouted sharply again.

The sword moves became increasingly ruthless, each strike carrying the determination to perish together.

"Damn it! Just a Saint Realm, yet you are this strong!" Ye Wuqing was shocked, retreating repeatedly while blocking.

That wasn't all; after the giant sword dissipated.

The pressure around her body faded, and the Grand Elder and the others saw this.

They immediately flashed their figures, rushing over to support.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Streaks of sharp Sword Qi swept towards Ye Wuqing one after another, sealing off her retreat completely.

Ye Wuqing's expression became increasingly ugly, and she snorted coldly.

"Hmph! You rely on having more people; this King will spare you for now! When the day comes, this King will personally take your head and make you pay in blood!"

She slapped the Void Realm with one hand, and space was instantly torn apart.

A pitch-black crack appeared, and Ye Wuqing's figure flashed.

She dived into the crack and disappeared instantly.

"Don't run, Devil Head!" Master Miaoxian shouted sharply, and her wrist swung again.

Another streak of crimson Sword Qi slashed towards the crack, but it was ultimately a step too slow.

"Pfft~"

Forcibly activating the first form of the Seven Kill Sword was already a huge drain.

Master Miaoxian's Qi and blood roiled, a mouthful of old blood sprayed out, and her body swayed, nearly falling over.

"Master!"

Seeing this, Xiang Tian immediately withdrew the linglong pagoda around him and dashed over.

He caught the swaying Master Miaoxian.

"Xiang Tian, quickly take your Master back to Miaoxian Peak for treatment; do not delay!" The Grand Elder hurriedly instructed in a deep voice.

Xiang Tian nodded heavily and carefully picked up Master Miaoxian.

His figure flashed, and he sped towards Miaoxian Peak.

"Someone, quickly repair the martial arts arena; there must be no mistakes!" The Grand Elder ordered again.

Then his figure also quickly disappeared from the spot.

...

Miaoxian Peak, outside the council hall.

Seeing Xiang Tian rushing over while carrying Master Miaoxian, Xiahou Yun frowned tightly and stepped forward quickly.

"Xiang Tian, what happened? Why is Master so heavily injured?"

"Don't ask so much, hurry and heal Master!" Xiang Tian had no time to explain now; his tone was urgent, and his footsteps did not stop.

Seeing his solemn expression, Xiahou Yun stopped asking more.

She nodded hurriedly to lead the way and walked quickly towards the healing pool.

Walking to the edge of the pool, she reached out, wanting to take Master Miaoxian from Xiang Tian's long arms.

But Master Miaoxian gripped Xiang Tian's arm tightly and refused to let go no matter what.

"Forget it, I'll hold her!" Xiang Tian sighed helplessly.

Holding Master Miaoxian, he slowly walked down into the healing pool.

He straightened her body and let her sit steadily in the pool water.

The pool water glowed with a faint spiritual light, slowly enveloping Master Miaoxian's body.

"Master, let go." Xiang Tian gently pried at Master Miaoxian's hand.

But she gripped it even tighter, with no intention of letting go at all.

Helpless, Xiang Tian could only sit beside Master Miaoxian, quietly accompanying her.

Time passed, and a month flew by in an instant.

Ouyang Qing and Xiahou Yun had come several times, bringing Medicinal Pills for healing and checking on Master Miaoxian's injuries, but they did not disturb them too much.

This day.

Master Miaoxian slowly opened her eyes; there was a moment of confusion in them.

Then they became clear, and what met her eyes was Xiang Tian staring at her without blinking.

"Brother?" Master Miaoxian called out softly subconsciously.

As if she had seen a relative she hadn't seen for a long time.

Xiang Tian was stunned upon hearing this and hurriedly shifted his gaze.

"Master, are you awake? Are your injuries mostly healed? Can you let go of me now?"

Master Miaoxian took a deep breath, suppressing the waves in her heart.

She slowly released her hand that was gripping Xiang Tian's arm and stood up from the pool.

"Xiang Tian, you really look like my brother; when I first saw you, I almost mistook you for him."

"Hmm? Master, did you take me as a Disciple because of this?" Xiang Tian's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but ask.

Master Miaoxian nodded gently.

Her expression carried a bit of melancholy: "Half the reason, perhaps. The first time I saw you, I mistook you for my brother, but I also knew that was impossible."

Xiang Tian's doubts deepened, and he continued to ask:

"Master, how could you have a grudge against Ye Wuqing from a million years ago?"

"And it seems Senior Martial Uncle was killed by her?"

"For this past month, I haven't been able to figure this out."

Master Miaoxian's eyes turned cold instantly, "Yes, my brother, and everyone in my Family, were all killed by her. That was a tragedy from a million years ago, but to me, it only happened twenty years ago."

Her thoughts drifted to the distant past, her expression dazed.

Xiang Tian was confused by what he heard.

He hurriedly asked: "Master, what exactly is going on? How could you have experienced things from a million years ago?"

"Because, I am originally a person from a million years ago."

This sentence exploded in Xiang Tian's ears like a thunderclap.

He looked at Master Miaoxian with a face full of shock, unable to believe it!

"Master, you... you aren't joking, right? 1 million years, do you know how long that is?"

On Blue Star, 1 million years ago was still the era of ape-men, without even civilization!

Master Miaoxian shook her head gently, her expression extremely serious: "I am not joking with you. Back then, I intended to die with my brother and the members of my Family, but just then, a sudden spatial crack appeared and forcibly sucked me in."

Memories of the past gushed out like a spring.

Master Miaoxian's eyes became distant: "At that time, a mysterious voice told me that a million years later, I would encounter an Opportunity, a person who could help me avenge my great hatred, and told me to wait patiently for that person to appear."

Xiang Tian's heart shook, and a thought instantly surged into his mind.

This person, could it be himself?

After all, he had a Heaven-Defying existence like the System on him.

Master Miaoxian slowly turned her head, her gaze fixed tightly on him, extremely firm.

"Xiang Tian, I think you are that person."

Xiang Tian steadied himself and asked: "Master, do you have any proof? Although I know I am somewhat special, that alone cannot determine that I am the person you are waiting for, right?"

Although he had his suspicions, he still wanted a definite answer.

"Proof, naturally, exists." Master Miaoxian said slowly.

Saying, "First, your appearance caused the True Dragon to appear; second, the power within you is too strange; your Aptitude seems unpresentable, yet you were able to soar all the way to the Martial Emperor Realm—this speed is extremely rare throughout history; third, the sense of mystery about you is the strongest among everyone I have ever seen. Besides you, I truly cannot think of a second person who could meet these conditions."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian already had the answer in his heart.

But he still couldn't help saying: "Master, wouldn't it be too arbitrary to say that? Perhaps that person hasn't appeared yet?"

Master Miaoxian smiled gently, "I am only making a bold guess. Alright, my injuries have healed; let's go out!"

After speaking, she tapped her toes and lightly jumped up from the pool.

When the two walked out of the healing pool together and arrived at the Miaoxian Peak hall.

Xiahou Yun, Feng Huowu, and Ouyang Qing were already in the hall.

Seeing Master Miaoxian walk out safely, all three of them showed expressions of joy.

"Master, you are finally better!" Xiahou Yun and Ouyang Qing's eyes lit up, and they hurried forward.

"Peak Master Miaoxian~" Feng Huowu said respectfully.

Master Miaoxian nodded gently, "Hmm, I made you worry."

After speaking, she walked slowly to the throne in the center of the hall and sat down.

She asked casually: "How long have I been unconscious?"

Ouyang Qing bowed and reported, her tone respectful: "Reporting to Master, you have been unconscious for a month."

"So long?" Master Miaoxian frowned slightly.

She asked again, "During this month, has anything unusual happened?"

"Reporting to Master, everything is fine at the moment, and there are no abnormalities." Ouyang Qing answered truthfully.

Master Miaoxian nodded slightly.

She waved her hand: "Since there is nothing wrong, you may all withdraw; I want to be quiet alone."

In the hall, Xiahou Yun's gaze was fixed tightly on Xiang Tian, her expression unkind.

Xiang Tian understood in his heart and hurriedly used Divine Sense to transmit his voice to her.

At the same time, he winked at her: "Xiao Yun, whatever the matter is, let's talk about it when we go back; don't disturb Master here."

Although Xiahou Yun was unwilling, she could only suppress the anger in her heart.

Xiang Tian cupped his hands in a salute to Master Miaoxian: "Master, then this Disciple will take his leave first."

After receiving Master Miaoxian's tacit permission, Xiang Tian left the hall with Xiahou Yun and Feng Huowu.

They returned to his cultivation room.

As soon as they entered the door.

Xiahou Yun could no longer hold back, pointing at Feng Huowu, "Xiang Tian, what exactly is going on? What happened between you two? Give me a reasonable explanation."

Xiang Tian pretended to be surprised.

He scratched his head: "Ah? You don't know? Didn't I tell you before?"

"Let me explain!" Feng Huowu stood out proactively.

She explained the accident of that day.

"An accident?" Xiahou Yun snorted coldly, glaring fiercely at Xiang Tian.

"I think you just used the accident as an excuse!"

Xiang Tian hurriedly put away his joking expression.

His eyes were extremely serious: "Xiao Yun, I was truly unconscious at the time, and it was not intentional. You must believe me. Moreover, the matter has already happened, and as a man, I should naturally take responsibility; I cannot wrong Huowu."
