79: Li Qiushui, should I call you uncle or mistress?

Chapter 79: Li Qiushui, should I call you Junior Martial Uncle, or Mistress?

"Stop! Don't you recognize Tóng Lǎo?"

Tianshan Child Granny reprimanded, and the several people who had drawn their swords suddenly froze. Seeing the unharmed Tianshan Child Granny, they immediately showed joy. Then, several people knelt on the ground, their faces filled with sorrow, like children seeing their parents, "Tóng Lǎo, many of our sisters have been killed. We are incompetent and couldn't save them."

"Hmph, Tóng Lǎo will naturally avenge this for you. Let them all come out. Piao Miao Peak is safe now, and the enemies have been driven back."

Although Tianshan Child Granny was infamous around Tianshan, enough to stop children from crying at night, to the many maidservants of Lingjiu Palace, she was a kind Senior.

A long time later, the surviving maidservants of Lingjiu Palace all stood neatly.

"Greetings, Tóng Lǎo!"

Tianshan Child Granny stepped onto the peak. The four maidservants, Mei, Lan, Zhu, Ju, immediately stepped forward to salute, then looked at Ning Yuan and the others with confusion.

Their gazes, especially on Wang Yuyan, A Zhu, and Mu Wanqing, showed even more astonishment.

Mu Wanqing's face was full of tension.

Any one of these women in front of her possessed martial arts that were probably not inferior to hers, bringing her a strong sense of threat.

"Tóng Lǎo, who are they?"

Mei, Lan, Zhu, Ju asked curiously.

"He is Murong Fu, and also the Sect Head of my Xiaoyao Sect. Thanks to him this time, otherwise Tóng Lǎo would not have been able to kill her way back to Piao Miao Peak so easily. Later, you will arrange for them to rest. During the time I am in seclusion, all matters within the palace will be handled by him."

"When I am not here, he is the Master of Lingjiu Palace."

Tianshan Child Granny said directly, with her arms behind her back.

In terms of status, Ning Yuan was the Sect Head of Xiaoyao Sect, while she was only a Disciple of Xiaoyao Sect. As long as she still acknowledged herself as a member of the Xiaoyao School, she had to recognize the other party's Sect Head status and position.

"Sect Head?"

Everyone was startled, but they immediately bowed, cupped their fists, and shouted, "Plum Sword (Lan, Zhu, Ju) greets the Sect Head!"

"Murong Fu, you can enter and exit Piao Miao Peak at will. After I recover my Internal Energy, I will discuss the matters of Xiaoyao Sect with you."

Tianshan Child Granny turned to look at Ning Yuan.

"Tóng Lǎo, just rest assured and Cultivate."

Ning Yuan smiled indifferently.

Seeing this, Tianshan Child Granny no longer hesitated. She nodded and entered the cold chamber in the grotto.

There was no ice or snow on Piao Miao Peak, but underground, there were rooms and passages built with ice. This was Tianshan Child Granny's place of seclusion, and this ice was also used for Tianshan Child Granny's Cultivation.

The Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Only I Am Supreme Cultivation Technique that Tianshan Child Granny Cultivated was originally a peerless art of extreme Yang and extreme hardness. For Tianshan Child Granny to Cultivate such a pure Yang Cultivation Technique as a woman naturally required a certain price.

"Sect Head, how should these traitorous servants who betrayed their Master be dealt with?"

Plum Sword glared fiercely at the traitors from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Isles, gritting her teeth.

Clearly, she hated them immensely.

"Their lives and deaths are all for you to handle."

Ning Yuan casually glanced at them and said indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, many of the people kneeling on the ground turned pale and showed fear.

They knew very well what they had done to Lingjiu Palace before.

Now that they had fallen into the opponent's hands, even death was probably a luxury.

"Thank you, Sect Head."

The four Sword Attendants immediately knelt on one knee, their faces filled with joy. Then, they turned to look at the group of traitors, revealing a chilling sneer.

Many of their sisters had died tragically before their eyes, which made the women hate these traitors immensely.

As Plum Sword waved her hand, the maidservants behind her immediately took everyone away.

"Sect Head, is there anything else we can do for you?"

A moment later, the four Sword Attendants exchanged glances. Plum Sword was the first to step forward and asked respectfully.

Although it was only their first day of acquaintance, since Tianshan Child Granny had given the order for them to obey the other party's commands, Mei, Lan, Zhu, Ju executed it without hesitation and showed extreme deference to Ning Yuan.

Especially since the other party had fully entrusted the traitors to them for disposal, which earned him even more goodwill.

"Hmm."

Ning Yuan nodded slightly, walked past with his hands behind his back, and said, "You take my Cousin and the others to rest first. I'll look around Piao Miao Peak by myself."

"Yes!"

Although the four maidservants were puzzled, they still nodded in agreement... Under the moonlight.

Ning Yuan quietly comprehended the principles and profound uses of the Life and Death Talisman.

Although he had initially grasped it before, it was only a basic grasp, allowing him to use it.

"This Life and Death Talisman is truly a Sharp Weapon for controlling people. Throughout the world, there are probably few who can endure such pain. This is even more reliable than controlling people with poison."

"As long as the controlled person's Internal Energy is not as strong as mine, and they do not Cultivate a pure Yang Cultivation Technique, they will find it difficult to break free from the control of the Life and Death Talisman."

The Life and Death Talisman was one of Ning Yuan's main objectives in coming to Lingjiu Palace.

This hidden weapon was more important to Ning Yuan than the Tianshan Six Yang Palm or the Tianshan Plum Hand.

After all, Ning Yuan did not lack powerful martial arts, but a unique hidden weapon like the Life and Death Talisman was truly one of a kind.

Of course, he also wanted to obtain the Tianshan Six Yang Palm. Only by learning the Tianshan Six Yang Palm could he control and dispel the Life and Death Talisman at will.

At this moment, Ning Yuan suddenly looked up into the distance.

Amidst the swirling mists, a white figure appeared like a ghost on the peak of Piao Miao Peak.

Ning Yuan's heart stirred, and he immediately followed.

"You are Murong Fu?"

As soon as Ning Yuan landed, he saw the white-clad figure in front turn sideways, sizing up Ning Yuan, and sneered, "Where is that Bitch? What is your relationship with that Bitch?"

Ning Yuan looked up and saw that the person opposite was dressed in white, with beautiful features, but her face was covered with a white veil. Her voice was very soft and melodious, her figure slender and graceful, with her skirt fluttering in the gentle breeze, like a celestial being.

Book 69 New

But her eyes were sharp, making people feel a chill.

"Senior, you are Li Qiushui Junior Martial Uncle, no, Mistress, aren't you?"

Ning Yuan smiled and cupped his fists.

Li Qiushui immediately saw the seven treasure ring on Ning Yuan's thumb, symbolizing the Sect Head of Xiaoyao Sect.

"How did the seven treasure ring get into your hands?"

Li Qiushui's eyes sharpened, and as she asked in a shrill voice, she appeared in front of Ning Yuan like a flash of lightning, grabbing at Ning Yuan's hand.

Or more accurately, she was going to cut it off. She intended to directly cut off Ning Yuan's finger with the ring.

"Mistress, your hands are too vicious."

Ning Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he struck out with a palm.

Boom!

The powerful palm wind swept through, and immediately, rocks shattered.

Li Qiushui only felt a terrifying force enveloping her. Her snow-white clothes made a tearing sound, and her black hair danced wildly behind her head, appearing demonic and ghostly against the moonlight.

In contrast, Ning Yuan stood as firm as a mountain. His powerful palm strike, however, left him unmoved.

Apart from his clothes fluttering, his feet did not move at all, and even his figure did not sway in the slightest.

"I am now the Sect Head of Xiaoyao Sect. Mistress should salute me upon seeing me. Now you are forcibly seizing the Sect Head's ring. Is Mistress trying to betray the School?"

Ning Yuan shouted sternly. At the same time, he channeled all his Internal Energy into both palms, forcefully pushing back Li Qiushui with a powerful palm strike. Then, he raised his hand, and dozens of Sword Qi enveloped Li Qiushui.

Li Qiushui also Cultivated Lingbo Microstep, her figure was elusive and graceful. She moved freely amidst the Sword Qi, but even with her incredible speed, her robes were still torn by the Sword Qi.

"What astonishing martial arts! Southern Murong lives up to his reputation!"

After more than ten moves, Li Qiushui retreated unwillingly, looking at Ning Yuan and asking, "Where did you get the seven treasure ring? What is your relationship with Wu Yazi? Where is Wu Yazi?"

"The ring was naturally passed down to me by Master. Now Master has passed away. He wants me to reorganize the School, so I came to Tianshan. I originally planned to visit my Mistress in a few days, but I didn't expect us to meet so soon."

Ning Yuan said leisurely.

"Wu Yazi is dead?"

Suddenly hearing this news, Li Qiushui's face showed astonishment.

"That's right, he has passed all his Internal Energy to me."

Ning Yuan nodded slightly and said directly.

"Hmph!"

Li Qiushui snorted coldly, "Even when he died, he didn't let you come to me, but instead went to that Bitch."

"Mistress, you know very well what you did back then. As a Junior, I don't want to bring it up, but this matter probably can't be blamed on Master."

Ning Yuan, however, said very calmly.

"You dare to contradict me?"

Li Qiushui showed anger. For so many years, she had always been absolute in her words. Now, she was contradicted face-to-face by a Junior and put in an awkward position, which made Li Qiushui's face extremely ugly.

"Mistress, I respect you and call you Mistress out of deference to Master. That doesn't mean I'm afraid of you. If you continue to be stubborn, then this Junior will have no choice but to enforce the School rules on you as the Sect Head."

Ning Yuan looked at Li Qiushui and said with a cold face.

"School rules?"

Li Qiushui was stunned, then looked up and laughed heartily, "School rules? You actually want to enforce School rules on me? What School rules do you want to enforce on me? Why don't I remember that my Xiaoyao Sect has School rules?"

Li Qiushui showed a look of mockery.

Although the previous exchange made her realize that this Murong Fu was not simple and was to be feared, Li Qiushui had always been arrogant and domineering, and naturally would not become cautious because of this.

"I am the Sect Head of Xiaoyao Sect, and the School rules are naturally determined by my will. If there were no School rules before, and I say there are now, then there are. For example, Disciples of Xiaoyao Sect, regardless of their status, must salute the Sect Head upon seeing him."

"This is the first School rule I have newly established: distinctions of seniority and juniority. Does Junior Martial Uncle Li have any objections?"

Ning Yuan looked at Li Qiushui, his hands behind his back, and said calmly.

"Of course I have objections. You, a new Sect Head who suddenly appeared, dare to establish rules for me, a second-generation Disciple. I think you are the one who disregards seniority."

Li Qiushui snorted coldly and said dismissively.

Her personality had always been like this.

Although the strength displayed by the person in front of her shocked her, it was not enough to make Li Qiushui back down.

Especially since the other party was also a Junior.

"Xiaoyao Sect School Rule number two: everything is subject to the Sect Head's command, so your objection is invalid."

Ning Yuan chuckled and continued, "I think Mistress, you'd better think it over carefully."

"You!"

Li Qiushui was immediately furious, glaring at Ning Yuan. After a long while, she sneered, "What audacity! Do you really think that just because you obtained the Internal Energy of that old geezer Wu Yazi, you are my opponent?"

"Today, I will let you witness the true peerless art of my Xiaoyao Sect."

"I will tell you that in Xiaoyao Sect, strength is revered. The Sect Head's ring does not determine who the Sect Head is. Now, let me take back the seven treasure ring."

Li Qiushui's eyes sharpened, and in an instant, she closed in on Ning Yuan. Her sleeve fluttered, and she struck with a vertical palm, a powerful palm force sweeping towards him.

This palm force seemed to be a frontal attack, but in reality, the direction of the palm force was unpredictable, curving and straightening at will. The force from her left palm bypassed the opponent's body, attacking them by surprise.

Facing such exquisite palm techniques, Ning Yuan responded with constancy to change.

But as soon as this palm force approached Ning Yuan, it was reversed and spun.

With Ning Yuan's current Cultivation, when he used Star Shift, there were few people in the world who could break through the protective defense of Star Shift.

Ning Yuan could almost return any attack in the world.
