Chapter 154: The Girl Who Loves Digging Pits to Bury People

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

Azure Cloud Sect!

Nalan S susu, as she did every day, finished wiping down Ye Wuya's body.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had already been gone for seven days. Over these past seven days, Nalan S susu had tended to Ye Wuya without leaving his side for a single moment.

Every morning and evening, she would gently wipe his body.

Each time she did so, she was exceedingly careful, terrified that she might cause him the slightest pain.

Staring blankly at the shocking scars covering Ye Wuya's body, she fell into a daze.

What on earth could have inflicted such terrible injuries upon him?

It must have hurt terribly, right?

"When you are asleep, you aren't actually all that annoying to look at," Nalan S susu murmured softly to herself.

She carefully dressed Ye Wuya, picked up the washbasin, and walked outside.

In the courtyard, two hazy figures stood, blurred and distorted to the point that even Nalan S susu, possessing the four-pole realm of the Golden Core, could not make them out clearly.

"You've worked hard."

One of the figures spoke softly before gradually and completely melting back into the void.

Nalan S susu nodded without speaking. Although she could not sense the presence of these two individuals, one thing she was certain of: the two of them had not strayed even a hundred meters from this courtyard!

At the foot of the Azure Cloud Sect!

A veiled young woman dressed in white, holding a Luoyang shovel in her hand, was slowly walking toward the Azure Cloud Sect!

"Halt! Who goes there, and what is your business at the Azure Cloud Sect?"

A gate-guarding disciple demanded loudly, staring at the white-robed maiden in the distance.

The veiled young woman did not utter a word, continuing her steady advance.

"This is your last warning! If you do not stop immediately, don't blame us for being discourteous!"

The gate-guarding disciple shouted angrily. Observing that the veiled maiden showed no fluctuations of cultivation whatsoever and obstinately ignored his warnings, he drew the sword at his waist with a sharp *shing!*

"Junior brother, be careful. This girl looks somewhat bizarre," another gate-guarding disciple cautioned.

The one addressed as senior brother nodded, gripping his unsheathed sword as he lunged toward the woman.

Seeing the man charge at her with a sword in hand, the veiled maiden slowly came to a halt.

She picked up the Luoyang shovel she carried, thrust it into the ground, and began to dig a pit...

"Uh..."

Taken aback by the girl's bizarre behavior, the charging gate-guarding disciple stopped about a meter away, not daring to press forward rashly!

"Unauthorized personnel, leave immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unmerciv—"

*Thwack!*

Before the gate-guarding disciple could finish his sentence, he was knocked unconscious with a single swat of the white-robed veiled maiden's shovel. He collapsed to the ground, entirely senseless.

"Senior brother!"

Seeing his senior brother, who was at the Spirit Gathering Realm, instantly defeated and struck down, the remaining gate-guarding disciple at the entrance cried out in shock. What kind of people were these lately? They just kept getting stranger and stranger...

Before long, the knocked-out disciple was picked up by the veiled maiden, tossed into the pit, and buried alive, leaving only his head sticking out above the earth.

Having finished this task, the white-robed veiled maiden continued walking deeper into the Azure Cloud Sect, never uttering a single word throughout the entire ordeal.

Watching the white-robed veiled maiden approach him, the remaining disciple was terrified out of his wits. His senior brother was far stronger than he was, yet everything had happened in the flash of a spark. By the time he recovered his senses, his senior brother had already been buried in the ground.

*Bang!*

The disciple retreated frantically while swiftly firing off a signal flare. The flare blossomed into a brilliant crimson in the sky.

The white-robed veiled maiden glanced up at the signal flare in the air, then nonchalantly resumed digging pits.

One shovel, one pit. Soon, a row of holes had appeared right at the grand entrance of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Having dug the final pit, the white-robed veiled maiden raised her head just in time to see a throng of disciples rushing out from within the Azure Cloud Sect.

Clad in inner-sect attire, these Azure Cloud Sect disciples saw that the maiden had buried their fellow sect brothers and sisters, and without a second word, they drew their weapons and charged at her!

*Thwack, thwack, thwack!*

A rapid succession of resounding slaps echoed across the entrance of the Azure Cloud Sect!

Moments later, a bizarre sight materialized at the gate.

Row after row of human heads protruded from the ground.

True to form, every single inner-sect disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect had been knocked unconscious with a single blow of the shovel and promptly buried.

Looking like he had just seen a ghost, the remaining gate-guarding disciple turned and sprinted back inside, screaming at the top of his lungs, "Terrible news! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Inform the elders immediately!"

*Thwack!*

"What did you say? An enemy attack? How many of them came?"

An elder clad in elder's robes slammed his hand down on the table and demanded loudly.

"R-Reporting to the Elder, ju-just one!"

The disciple below stammered in absolute terror.

"Just one? What is the opponent's cultivation level?" the elder asked.

"Elder, the opponent didn't use any cultivation at all, but this disciple infers it must be at least the Golden Core Realm or higher."

"Let's go! Take this old man to see for himself!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, having buried the last one, the white-robed veiled maiden continued her march forward.

Ahead of her, a crowd of disciples retreated continuously, stepping past the rows of buried disciples whose heads alone remained visible. These were the ones who had attacked the veiled maiden; those who had refrained from attacking were still steadily backing away.

"Make way! Make way!"

"Elder Wu is here!"

Hearing that Elder Wu had arrived, the crowd parted like a tidal wave to the sides, leaving a clear pathway.

An elder dressed in grand robes walked slowly out from the crowd.

Gazing at the line of human heads stretching all the way back to the grand gate of the Azure Cloud Sect behind the white-robed veiled maiden, he was instantly consumed by a blazing fury.

"Audacious wretch! Who are you, daring to run amok in my Azure Cloud Sect? Surrender immediately!" the elder roared furiously.

The white-robed veiled maiden remained unmoved, demonstrating her stance through action. She drove the Luoyang shovel in her hand into the ground, gave it a flick, and instantly excavated a human-shaped vertical pit.

Such provocative behavior drove the elder to the brink of rage.

Utterly arrogant!

"Since you refuse, this old man shall take care of you personally." With those words, Elder Wu conjured a long sword out of thin air!

Manifesting physical objects through spiritual energy—the hallmark of a Form-Condensing Realm expert.

*Boom!*

A resonant sound echoed from the elder's dantian, followed by the appearance of dozens of ink-green spiritual serpents, numbering as many as several dozen.

All of these spiritual serpents hurtled swiftly toward the white-robed veiled maiden.

*Thwack, thwack, thwack!*

Watching the oncoming swarm of spiritual serpents, the white-robed veiled maiden remained completely unruffled. Brandishing her Luoyang shovel, she batted at them one by one.

With every single stroke of the shovel, a spiritual serpent was shattered into pieces.

Before long, all the spiritual serpents had been beaten apart, and a portion of their spiritual energy was even absorbed directly into the Luoyang shovel held by the white-robed veiled maiden.

"Hmph!" Elder Wu let out a cold snort, his hands weaving seals in a blur as streams of spiritual energy fluttered about.

*Roar!*

A five-meter-tall white tiger manifested on the grounds, emanating a majestic and awe-inspiring aura!

"Little girl, surrender to—"

Before Elder Wu could finish speaking, the corners of his mouth began to twitch violently.

To his shock, the white tiger he had painstakingly condensed was batted away with a single casual sweep of the white-robed veiled maiden's shovel.

*Boom!*

The white tiger, solid as a tangible entity, slammed into a building, reducing the entire structure to splinters.

The displaced white tiger twitched incessantly wherever it landed, before dissolving into nothingness within moments.

Elder Wu's hands trembled slightly. That white tiger had embodied five percent of his full strength, yet it had been swatted away with a single blow. Just how monstrous was her physical strength?

This young girl was terrifyingly powerful!

Even as an outer-sect elder, his strength was merely at the Form-Condensing Realm. This maiden was most likely at the Golden Core Realm or even higher; there was no way he could defeat her.

In the eyes of this girl, it seemed there was simply no problem that could not be solved with a single sweep of her shovel.

"Quickly, go notify the Golden Core elders! The enemy is extremely powerful!"
