"Is that so?"
Nangong Wan looked at Mo Tianxiao with calm eyes.
"Wan'er thanks Senior Brother for his concern."
Seeing Nangong Wan being so polite, Mo Tianxiao actually felt a bit embarrassed, considering he hadn't done anything.
"Dear guests, you've killed the young sect master of the Yellow Springs Sect. They will not let you off. You should leave quickly.
It will take at least two days for the Yellow Springs Sect to receive the news and arrive here. That's enough time for you to escape."
At this time, the waiter sent by the shopkeeper to serve dishes came over and whispered a reminder.
Seeing this, Mo Tianxiao smiled and replied, "Rest assured, we will leave first thing tomorrow morning. It won't affect you."
Hearing this, the tavern staff no longer worried about the matter.
Yao Bufan's corpse was quickly disposed of. The number of guests in the tavern also decreased significantly; they had likely gone to report the news. After all, information could be exchanged for rewards.
Mo Tianxiao didn't pay any mind to this.
The sect master of the Yellow Springs Sect had only just entered the Nascent Soul realm. At that level, there was nothing to worry about.
"Senior Brother, aren't you going to ask me why I killed him?"
After waiting for a long time and realizing that Mo Tianxiao had no intention of asking her, Nangong Wan couldn't help but speak up.
"Ah? Wh-why?"
Mo Tianxiao, who was eating vigorously, froze and stared at Nangong Wan with a look of confusion.
He originally wanted to say, why do demonic cultivators need so many reasons to kill someone, but seeing Nangong Wan's expression that clearly showed she wanted to explain the reason, he decided to play along.
"Because the person who slaughtered my Nangong family is an elder of this Yellow Springs Sect!"
Nangong Wan's calm tone was laced with intense killing intent.
Her Nangong family was originally a merchant family in a border town of the Middle Earth Divine Continent. The strongest person in the family was barely at the Qi Condensation realm.
As merchants, they lived a relatively happy life in the peaceful territory of the Middle Earth Divine Continent.
However, until one day, the entire Nangong family was slaughtered by a cultivator who attacked out of nowhere. She narrowly escaped death.
If her master hadn't taken her away, she might have committed suicide in her home.
Fortunately, the heavens treated her well, allowing her to step onto the path of cultivation and gain the strength to avenge her family with her own hands.
"So that's how it is. I was just thinking that Junior Sister doesn't seem like a bloodthirsty person."
Mo Tianxiao suddenly understood. No wonder she finished the other party off with a single sword strike. It turned out that the people of the Yellow Springs Sect had annihilated his junior sister's family.
"Don't worry, Junior Sister. Tomorrow we will set off for the Yellow Springs Sect. You can take your revenge however you want, and your senior brother will back you up."
"Mhm."
Nangong Wan nodded and didn't say anything more.
With Mo Tianxiao's words, her heart felt much more settled. She wasn't afraid of Golden Core realm cultivators, but Nascent Soul realm experts were currently beyond her ability to provoke.
Meanwhile.
Inside the Yellow Springs Sect, located at the border between the Middle Earth Divine Continent and the Demonic Continent, a thick stench of blood permeated the air.
"Who dares to kill my son!!"
A pair of cold, gloomy eyes suddenly snapped open.
A burly, bearded man with bloodshot eyes roared furiously and stood up from a pool of blood.
"Son, I will avenge you. I will make the person who killed you go down and be buried with you."
After spouting these ruthless words, the burly man sank back into the pool of blood.
In one more day, his newly broken-through Nascent Soul cultivation would stabilize. When that time came, it would be the moment he avenged his son.
While this little interlude was happening at the Yellow Springs Sect, inland in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, a young man draped in a black robe was hurrying toward the Demonic Continent.
"Elder Yun, Wan'er's position is changing. She is getting closer and closer to us."
The young man muttered to himself as if he were asking the empty air.
"At this distance, we will be able to meet her in a day."
An aged phantom emerged from the young man's body, stroked his beard, and replied.
"Fan'er, take this opportunity to bring her with us to the Supreme Dao Sect. A place like the Demonic Continent is not suitable for her development."
To this, Xiao Fan nodded. "Elder Yun is right. Fortunately, Elder Yun made preparations in advance back then. Otherwise, we probably still wouldn't know that Wan'er was actually abducted by demonic cultivators."
Xiao Fan and Nangong Wan were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. The Xiao family was also a merchant family, considered a well-matched match for the Nangong family.
However, three years ago, Xiao Fan fortuitously encountered a lucky chance. By coincidence, he joined the giant orthodox sect, the Supreme Dao Sect. Thus, he bid farewell to his family and embarked on the path of cultivation.
And his lucky chance was precisely this remnant soul.
Under the guidance of the remnant soul, he discovered that Nangong Wan possessed an Immortal Bone within her body, though it had not yet awakened.
"The Immortal Bone has a spirit. Only an expert at the Great Emperor realm could possibly force it to awaken early. This old man is but a remnant soul and is no longer capable of such a feat. I could only wait for her to awaken it herself. I didn't expect it to awaken earlier than I imagined.
Fortunately, I placed a mark in advance; otherwise, this little Dao companion of yours would likely be in danger."
Elder Yun bore a smile on his face as he looked at Xiao Fan, his eyes carrying admiration. This boy's own aptitude was already heaven-defying enough, but he didn't expect his fiancée to be even more terrifying.
Three years ago, he had tampered with a bracelet that Xiao Fan gave to Nangong Wan. As soon as it detected the aura of the Immortal Bone awakening, it would expose its owner's location.
When that time came, they could just right bring Nangong Wan into the Supreme Dao Sect.
It was just unexpected that a year ago, the Nangong family was wiped out by an unfamiliar Golden Core cultivator, and Nangong Wan's whereabouts became unknown.
"Elder Yun, please don't tease me. Wan'er hasn't agreed to be my Dao companion yet."
Xiao Fan scratched his head and hastily denied it, but in reality, a trace of anticipation gleamed in his eyes.
Having a Dao companion who bore an Immortal Bone—even in the entire Supreme Dao Sect, one wouldn't be able to find a second one, right?
Thinking of Nangong Wan's breathtakingly beautiful face and figure, the corners of Xiao Fan's mouth kept rising. High talent and beautiful looks.
She was simply the ideal Dao companion. Fortunately, they had previously arranged a marriage contract. Once he found Wan'er this time, he would propose to her, and the two of them would become an immortal couple.
The next day.
Mo Tianxiao and Nangong Wan set off early in the morning for the Yellow Springs Sect.
The hatred of her family's annihilation kept Nangong Wan completely silent during the journey.
Mo Tianxiao could only follow silently behind her, thinking about what was to come.
As a Destined Heroine, it was within expectations for Nangong Wan to suffer the disaster of clan extermination. After all, Children of Destiny always faced numerous hardships and went through various tribulations during their growth.
However, her background information also mentioned a childhood sweetheart who was a Child of Destiny as well.
According to the standard protagonist tropes, his little junior sister would most likely become the woman of this childhood sweetheart Child of Destiny.
Furthermore, the other party might, by some extreme coincidence, stumble upon the scene of his little junior sister taking her revenge. Ultimately, he would wipe out her enemies for her and capture her heart.
Mo Tianxiao increasingly felt that this scenario was bound to happen.
With a Destined Heroine showing up at the door for revenge, things would definitely not end simply.
He had to be careful not to unwittingly get targeted by another Child of Destiny.
As he was thinking, Nangong Wan's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting his train of thought.
"We're here!"
Nangong Wan stared at the sect nestled in the deep mountains in the distance and accelerated, diving toward it.
Seeing this, Mo Tianxiao followed closely behind. As soon as he got a little closer to the Yellow Springs Sect, he frowned. "What a heavy stench of blood!"
The pungent smell practically assaulted his nasal cavity; it was a hundred times more overwhelming than the smell of a slaughterhouse he had passed by in his past life.
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces.

Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
