Everyone stood frozen, dumbstruck.
They stared in disbelief at the Blood Blade Demon Slayer, who had suddenly collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
In fact, not only were the onlookers shocked, but even the Blood Blade Demon Slayer himself was utterly bewildered.
What… just happened?
At that moment, Master Huiming and Master Zhang noticed something.
In a panic, they shouted, “Demon Slayer!! Watch your back!”
What?!
The Blood Blade Demon Slayer was stunned. Without thinking, he instinctively tried to get up and flee.
*Slap!!*
Another palm strike came flying!
“Ugh—!”
The Blood Blade Demon Slayer let out a blood-curdling scream.
His body stiffened, and the energy within him dissipated once again.
His pupils trembled as he clutched his face and fell to the ground.
Move!
Why can’t I move?!
The Blood Blade Demon Slayer screamed internally.
The next second.
“Perish!”
A cold voice rang out.
Following it was a bone-chilling surge of icy energy!
*Boom!*
“No—!”
The Blood Blade Demon Slayer’s face twisted in agony. He could only stand there, frozen and defenseless, as he took the full brunt of the attack.
In an instant, ice crystals rapidly spread across his body, freezing him into a lifeless ice sculpture.
His aura vanished completely.
Everyone was horrified.
“The Blood Blade Demon Slayer…”
“Is dead?!”
The Blood Blade Demon Slayer, a late-stage Peak Realm expert, had been killed before he could even unleash most of his techniques?
But what was even more shocking!
Master Huiming and Master Zhang turned their incredulous gazes toward the duo.
Qin Luo stood innocently to the side, casually rotating his wrist.
Somehow, he had managed to completely immobilize the Blood Blade Demon Slayer.
And then there was…
“Hmph, how dare such trash act so arrogantly in front of me?”
Su Muwan sneered with disdain.
Qin Luo’s precise control, combined with Su Muwan’s overwhelming destructive power…
Were these two monsters?
Master Huiming and Master Zhang’s expressions turned grim.
Wait!
What about the attacks they had launched earlier?
If Su Muwan was here, what about the others?
They turned to look in the direction of their previous assault.
*Boom!!*
A series of sonic booms echoed, and dust filled the air.
However, when the dust settled, the figure that emerged was someone completely unexpected.
“Dad?”
“Grandpa!”
Su Bailian stared in confusion at Su Ba, who had been lying asleep beside her but was now suddenly awake.
Grandpa wasn’t asleep after all?
Su Ba stretched his limbs and let out a hearty laugh as he looked up at the two figures in the air. “Hahaha! So this is why little Luo asked me to pretend to be asleep!
“You old fools thought you could bully my precious granddaughter, huh?”
As he spoke,
*Boom!!*
A terrifying pressure erupted from Su Ba’s body. He sneered, “Did you really think the Su and Ning families had no one left to protect her?”
The moment he finished speaking,
*Whoosh!*
Another figure appeared.
“Old Master Ning?!”
Old Master Ning stood beside Su Ba.
He glanced at Su Muwan and said, “Xiao Wan, go all out. We’ll take care of the family’s safety.”
Master Huiming: !!
The situation was already bad enough.
Now, with Su Ba and Old Master Ning here…
No!
Master Huiming quickly turned to Master Zhang. “This isn’t good. We need to—”
“Enough chatter.”
*Slap!!*
Another palm strike landed!
“Ugh—!”
Master Huiming was the first to feel it. His entire body stiffened, and his energy channels were blocked.
His pupils contracted. I… can’t move?
Before he could react,
Another figure suddenly appeared.
“What are you looking at, old bald donkey?”
Su Muwan sneered as she raised her hand and struck.
*Boom!!*
A terrifying surge of icy energy instantly engulfed Master Huiming’s entire body.
*Crackle!!*
“No!!”
In an instant, Master Huiming was reduced to a cloud of icy dust.
The onlookers trembled in fear.
This couldn’t be real!
A late-stage Peak Realm expert… killed just like that?
Only Master Zhang remained. He tried to flee.
“Hmph! Trying to escape?”
*Slap!!*
Qin Luo teleported in front of him, striking him before instantly reappearing elsewhere.
“He’s all yours, Miss.”
As he spoke,
*Boom—!*
Su Muwan unleashed another devastating wave of icy energy.
*Boom!*
Master Zhang… annihilated!
Ice crystals scattered in all directions.
Everyone present was left in stunned silence.
Three late-stage Peak Realm experts… killed in an instant?
“Li Xuanfeng is also dead!”
Make that four.
There were only seven known late-stage Peak Realm experts in the world.
And now…
Four of them were gone?
Huh? Everyone felt their heads spinning.
This was just too absurd!
What’s more, these people were completely helpless against Su Muwan!
Su Muwan happily shook off the ice shards from her body and glanced at Qin Luo with sparkling eyes.
Wait a minute!
What kind of targeting mechanism is this, where you just need to unleash your skills to hit your enemies perfectly?
Qin Luo! What other techniques do you have up your sleeve?
But… as much as she wanted to know, there were more pressing matters at hand.
With that in mind, Su Muwan turned her gaze back and stood side by side with Qin Luo, both of them looking ahead.
There, the Old Heavenly Master slowly descended from the sky. His expression was one of surprise, as if the future he had foreseen did not include this scene.
He looked at Su Muwan but then shifted his gaze to Qin Luo.
“Old man, are you still thinking of making a move?”
Su Muwan snorted coldly.
“No.”
The Old Heavenly Master sighed softly and shook his head. Then, he looked at Su Muwan and said solemnly, “The future I foresaw has already changed.
“Li Xuanfeng and the others were not supposed to die at this time.
“And… there is a variable in the future that should not exist…”
The Old Heavenly Master’s gaze shifted to Qin Luo.
But he quickly averted his eyes.
Qin Luo…
Unpredictable, unfathomable…
A person who should not exist, yet he appeared by Su Muwan’s side.
What could be the reason behind this?
Su Muwan didn’t understand, but Qin Luo did.
The variable the Old Heavenly Master mentioned was likely him.
And…
The Old Heavenly Master couldn’t predict his future.
The scene fell into silence.
Everyone exchanged uneasy glances. It seemed…
This matter was over?
Suan Tianxing cowered inside a golden barrier, his eyes filled with venom as he glared at Qin Luo and Su Muwan.
Su Muwan! Qin Luo!
You poisonous couple!!
Just wait until I return to Dragon Tiger Mountain and reopen my Celestial Eye! I’ll tear you to pieces!
Su Muwan, of course, had no intention of provoking the Old Heavenly Master here, as the old man still had one last trick up his sleeve.
In her previous life,
The Old Heavenly Master had a technique that could summon the spiritual essence of Dragon Tiger Mountain, drawing upon its immense power.
The stronger the belief of the people, the more potent the effect.
It was similar to how, in her previous life, she had been surrounded and defeated by people chanting about bonds and friendship.
This mission to eradicate evil had failed.
The Old Heavenly Master sighed inwardly.
The world’s martial arts had stagnated.
And now, Su Muwan had someone full of variables by her side.
Was this a blessing or a curse?
With that thought,
The Old Heavenly Master slowly began to float upward, intending to take Suan Tianxing with him.
However,
A haughty voice interrupted him. “Hold it.
“You think you can just take someone away without asking my Miss first?”
Su Muwan: ……
Everyone was stunned.
They turned to look at Qin Luo.
The young man stepped forward, pointing at the Old Heavenly Master and saying coldly, “The root of all this is Suan Tianxing.
“Old Heavenly Master, you may leave.
“But this man stays.”
No way.
Suan Tianxing was a Tier 0 Chosen One, someone who could increase Qin Luo’s containment points.
There was no way he was letting him go.
With that, Qin Luo turned to Su Muwan and said loyally, “I’m sure Miss also wants to make sure Suan Tianxing faces the consequences he deserves.”
Su Muwan blinked, hesitating slightly.
Don’t do this, Qin Luo… I’m afraid something might go wrong…
But,
Faced with Qin Luo’s unwavering loyalty,
Su Muwan could only place one hand on her hip and say coldly to the Old Heavenly Master, “That’s right. Suan Tianxing isn’t going anywhere.”
Suan Tianxing, hearing this, gnashed his teeth and roared at Su Muwan, “Su Muwan!!
“You still won’t let me go even after all this?!
“You… you’re nothing but a—”
*Slap!*
Before he could finish,
A black claw pierced through the golden barrier and struck Suan Tianxing across the face.
His mind went blank.
Huh?
How did you just bypass the barrier the Old Heavenly Master set up to hit me?
The Old Heavenly Master's heart sank as he witnessed the scene.
So fast... such a bizarre ability.
After running through the calculations once more, the corner of his eye twitched.
Without hesitation.
"Fine."
The Old Heavenly Master tossed Suan Tianxing to the ground in front of Qin Luo.
Thud!
Suan Tianxing, now sprawled on the ground: ???
"Good to see you know your place, old man."
Qin Luo raised his head and smiled amiably.
Immediately after.
The Old Heavenly Master's figure began to levitate as he spoke in a solemn voice, "All disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain, heed my command!"
"From this moment onward, Suan Tianxing is stripped of his title as Celestial Master!"
"Effective immediately! All disciples are to return to Dragon Tiger Mountain! Without orders! No one is to descend the mountain!"
A mountain-sealing decree?!
"Yes!"
All the disciples quickly responded.
But that wasn't all.
The Old Heavenly Master then turned to Qin Luo and said, "Young friend Qin Luo, if you are willing, you may leave Su Muwan and come to Dragon Tiger Mountain to assume the role of Celestial Master."
Everyone: "!!!"
Celestial Master?!
Su Muwan was stunned for a moment before hurriedly grabbing Qin Luo's wrist, angrily shouting at the Old Heavenly Master, "Get lost, you old fool! Qin Luo has a contract with me!"
"Qin Luo, Qin Luo, being a Celestial Master isn't all that great. Just look at what happened to Suan Tianxing."
Suan Tianxing: .....
"....."
Qin Luo chuckled. He didn't understand why the Old Heavenly Master's attitude had changed so drastically.
But he still shook his head and said to the old man, "No need. If possible, Dragon Tiger Mountain can simply join under my young lady's command."
"Hahaha! Well then... we'll have to wait a while for that!"
The Old Heavenly Master laughed heartily, and in the next moment, his figure soared into the sky and vanished.
As he left, a fragment of the future he had glimpsed during his earlier calculations flashed through his mind.
It was about himself.
No images, no sounds.
Just a simple thought that echoed in his mind.
And that was...
[I... got beaten?]
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress?
