The Female Version of Gu Qingfeng

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass against my Wuji Sect!"

Li Wuji, Sect Master of the Wuji Sect, stood aloft in the void and spoke.

The Wuji Sect was currently in a state of extreme paranoia, seeing enemies behind every bush. Thus, the moment Jiang Li made a move, she immediately triggered their vigilance.

Li Wuji sized up the stunningly beautiful woman pulling the carriage and was instantly struck with secret alarm.

He realized he could not see through her cultivation realm. Considering he was at the peak of the Golden Immortal stage, this implied one of two things: either she was a Daluo Golden Immortal, or she possessed a rare treasure capable of concealing her aura.

Regardless of which it was, either possibility proved she was no ordinary individual.

And to think, she was merely the one pulling the carriage!

If the groom driving the carriage was this powerful and this breathtakingly beautiful, then just what kind of terrifying existence sat inside?

Could it be that the Eternal Fiend from the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty had arrived?

Was there no justice left in this world?

Faced with the questioning of a weakling like Li Wuji, Jiang Li couldn't be bothered to respond. Besides, she knew Shangguan Wan'er's character well; in a moment of such public attention, she would undoubtedly want to make a personal appearance.

Sure enough, the door of the Golden Ancient War Chariot opened.

A stunning figure stepped out slowly. Her pace was deliberate, her demeanor elegant, and every movement exuded an air of absolute nobility.

In an instant, everyone's gaze focused on Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er reveled in the attention, and so she walked even more slowly.

To the side, Jiang Li curled her lips in disdain.

*Hmph, what an unsophisticated country bumpkin.*

It was fortunate that Shangguan Wan'er couldn't hear Jiang Li's inner thoughts, otherwise, this entrance would have been ruined...

Li Wuji stared intently at Shangguan Wan'er's exquisite face and froze slightly.

A True Immortal!?

Was she concealing her true cultivation base?

"This Fairy, may I ask your esteemed name? Why have you trespassed into my Wuji Sect?" Li Wuji asked, seeing that the principal figure had emerged.

Unexpectedly, having spent so much time by Gu Qingfeng's side, Shangguan Wan'er hadn't learned anything good but had picked up every bad habit possible—or perhaps there simply wasn't anything good to learn from him in the first place.

Shangguan Wan'er lifted her gaze, glanced at Li Wuji, and said indifferently, "Does a puny Sect Master like you think you are worthy of knowing this Palace's name?"

Li Wuji's eyelid twitched. He hadn't expected this woman to be so arrogant despite her low cultivation. If he hadn't been unable to gauge the cultivation of the groom beside her, he would have slapped her to death right then and there!

Suppressing his rage, he said, "Fairy, forgive this old man's poor eyesight, but there shouldn't be any enmity between us, correct?"

"You offended my Master. You tell me, is there enmity?" Shangguan Wan'er replied coolly.

Master!?

Li Wuji's heart skipped a beat. That explained everything. It explained why a mere True Immortal could have such a powerhouse pulling her carriage; there was a true mastermind behind them.

"May I ask who your Master is?"

"You are not worthy of knowing."

Li Wuji nearly choked on his own breath.

He shouted angrily, "Then what exactly have you come here to do?"

"Do you recall sending Li Qianji to the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty?"

As soon as the words 'Yuhua Immortal Dynasty' were spoken, Li Wuji's anger vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling sensation in his heart.

There was no justice in this world. They had killed his son and so many of his disciples, yet they still came knocking on his door?

"Were you sent by that Senior from the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty?"

"Correct, that is my Master. My Master said that because you sent a squad of people who forced him to dirty his hands, he has sent me to exterminate your sect."

"What!?"

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's arrogance, the members of the Wuji Sect immediately began to curse in rage. "You bitch! You're nothing but a mere True Immortal, yet you dare shamelessly claim you'll destroy our Wuji Sect!"

A hot-tempered elder shouted even louder, "You wretched wench! Just wait, this old man will capture you and turn you into a dual-cultivation cauldron for our disciples to enjoy!"

Shangguan Wan'er's expression instantly turned icy. "You are courting death!"

However, Li Wuji suddenly stopped his disciples and addressed Shangguan Wan'er, "Fairy, we are willing to compensate your Master for his losses. Could you find it in your heart to be lenient?"

With the higher-ups about to send envoys soon, Li Wuji did not want to cause unnecessary complications at this juncture.

However, Shangguan Wan'er's heart was the size of a sesame seed; she was practically the female version of Gu Qingfeng. Having just been insulted, how could she possibly let the matter rest?

Furthermore, her Master had given the order.

"No," Shangguan Wan'er replied directly.

"Compensate? Do you think you can afford to..."

She was in the middle of her arrogant tirade when, unexpectedly, Li Wuji suddenly struck.

"Then die! You bitch!"

Immortal light erupted from Li Wuji's body, shooting into the sky. Moving as if teleporting, he charged with terrifying momentum, aiming a vicious strike right at Shangguan Wan'er's face.

The speed was so great that Shangguan Wan'er couldn't react in time. She didn't even have a moment to retrieve her Immortal King Weapon; she was completely petrified with fear.

In that split second of imminent peril, Groom Jiang made her move.

With a casual wave of her hand, she extended a pale, jade-like palm that instantly pierced through layers of void. Under Li Wuji's incredulous gaze, it slammed viciously into his chest.

His chest caved in instantly, as if struck by a massive war hammer.

With a loud *bang*, he was sent flying, spraying blood across the sky.

"Sect Master!"

Countless Wuji Sect disciples cried out in alarm. Several elders instantly flew out to catch Li Wuji's backward-flying body.

After stabilizing himself, Li Wuji wore an expression of utter horror. Coughing up blood, he gasped, "Daluo Golden Immortal!"

Jiang Li said nothing, merely standing to the side with haughty indifference.

Hearing the words 'Daluo Golden Immortal', the expressions of all the disciples changed drastically.

At this moment, having regained her senses, Shangguan Wan'er was displeased. Feeling that her thunder had been stolen, she immediately leaped forward.

She produced a spear that was thick, black, and incredibly long.

It was the God-Destroying Spear!

The moment the spear appeared, the sky instantly darkened. Wild winds howled, infinite black lightning flickered, and an aura of apocalyptic destruction surged forth.

"That is... an Immortal King Weapon!!"

The spotlight was instantly seized back by Shangguan Wan'er.

Everyone stared fixedly at the God-Destroying Spear in her hand, their expressions filled with boundless terror.

"Run!"

"We can't fight this!"

Countless people screamed. Li Wuji, despite his heavy injuries, burst forth with astonishing speed and was the first to fly into the distance. Seeing this, the others fled in droves.

It was like a group of unarmed people suddenly facing someone pulling out a gun—and not just any gun, but a Gatling gun spitting blue fire. If they didn't run, they would be waiting for death.

"Hey! Don't run!" Shangguan Wan'er stomped her feet in anger. She had only just begun her grand display of sanctity; she hadn't even said two sentences before everyone fled.

In the end, she wasn't as professional as Gu Qingfeng. If Gu Qingfeng were here, he would have laid down an inescapable net to seal off the Wuji Sect before starting his posturing.

Seeing the crowd getting away, Shangguan Wan'er abandoned her posturing. She hurriedly activated the God-Destroying Spear and struck out at the fleeing mass.

*Boom!*

Suddenly, billions of thunderclaps exploded in the void!

Endless black lightning spread across the entire void like a dense spiderweb.

The fleeing cultivators were like insects trapped in the web.

In a mere instant, everyone was reduced to ashes.

Witnessing this scene, Shangguan Wan'er was so frightened she almost threw the God-Destroying Spear out of her hand. It was simply too terrifying.
