Chapter 384 Since you're here, why not stay?
The sect leader stood suspended above the market on Misty Cloud Island, his body as still as a mountain, yet an invisible pressure emanated from him, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.
He followed along, observing everything with a detached eye, taking in all the disputes that had just occurred.
His gaze fell on the masked female cultivator.
The market town on Mixia Island is an important industry of the Hundred Swords Pavilion, and it is no exaggeration to call it a treasure trove. The four Core Formation cultivators stationed here are also carefully selected, and together they can contend with Nascent Soul cultivators.
The Hundred Swords Pavilion has a large number of disciples, including countless Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage disciples, but the number of Golden Core cultivators is not large, which the sect leader is well aware of.
Qian Zhenren and his team performed at a normal level, without any major mistakes.
However, this masked female cultivator was able to remain completely at ease despite being surrounded by four Golden Core cultivators. The sect leader was slightly surprised, but he maintained a cold and indifferent expression, as if everything was under his control.
"The Misty Cloud Island Market is an important industry of our Hundred Swords Pavilion. We will never allow anyone to cause trouble or disrupt order here." The sect leader's voice was cold and authoritative, like a cold wind blowing, making people tremble.
Chu Lengyu felt the sect leader's heavy, mountain-like pressure and knew that this battle would no longer be as easy as before.
She abandoned her nonchalant attitude and her expression became slightly more serious.
Over the past few years, her injuries have gradually healed. She had already exchanged a few blows with the sea monsters and had a general understanding of the strength of the sea monsters in the Minghai Realm.
Among the nearby sects, only the Hundred Swords Pavilion deserves Chu Lengyu's attention. She doesn't want to rashly attack their gates, but today's events were truly unexpected.
The sect leader said nothing more. He slowly raised his finger, and a dazzling sword aura shot out from his fingertip, like lightning piercing the night sky, heading straight for Chu Lengyu.
Chu Lengyu dared not be careless in the slightest. She quickly retreated.
The crowd in the market held their breath, their eyes fixed on the shimmering scene in the water mirror. Even though the crystal tree was extremely blurry and unstable due to the disturbance of the Nascent Soul aura, they were still afraid of missing any detail.
Because they knew that the outcome of this battle would be revealed at this moment.
Senior Sister Zhao and the others clenched their fists nervously, their hearts filled with both confidence in the sect leader and a hint of worry.
Chu Lengyu's figure swayed slightly, as if searching for an opening to leave, seemingly unwilling to confront the sect leader directly.
A glint of light flashed in the sect leader's eyes.
As a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, his intuition told him that the female cultivator before him was no ordinary person. The fact that she could withstand the combined attacks of four Golden Core cultivators without showing any signs of defeat indicated that she was hiding something.
A sense of curiosity arose in the sect leader's heart. He wanted to force out her true strength and see what trump cards she had up her sleeve.
"Since you're here, why not stay?" the sect leader said in a deep voice, his expression calm on the surface, but his sharp edge was hidden beneath.
Chu Lengyu sighed softly, knowing that it was impossible for her to leave easily.
Her figure paused slightly in mid-air, then turned around to face the sect leader.
"I have no intention of being enemies with the Hundred Swords Pavilion. Today's events are nothing more than a misunderstanding." Chu Lengyu's voice was calm as she tried to quell the unexpected conflict with her words.
However, the sect leader did not buy it.
"A misunderstanding? You dare to call it a misunderstanding when you kill someone on the territory of my Hundred Swords Pavilion?" The sect leader sneered. "Today, if you don't reveal your true strength, don't even think about leaving Misty Cloud Island Market!"
Seeing this, Chu Lengyu understood that the sect leader was eager to use her to test his swordsmanship and was determined to fight her.
She sighed inwardly, yet remained fearless. Her eyes were sharp, and the spiritual energy within her body circulated rapidly, like a surging river, endless and powerful. A strong aura emanated from her body, inspiring awe in all who beheld her.
The people in the market were all terrified by the sudden change in Chu Lengyu, and they all gasped in shock.
They stared wide-eyed at the masked female cultivator in mid-air, their shock beyond words.
They all realized that this female cultivator's strength was far greater than they had previously imagined. The four Golden Core cultivators had not forced her to reveal her true strength at all. She had been hiding it for a long time, and only now was she beginning to show her true power.
Some cultivators began to whisper among themselves, discussing Chu Lengyu's true identity and origins in hushed tones, their words filled with curiosity.
The excitement and smiles on Senior Sister Zhao's and the others' faces disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
They originally thought that with the sect leader personally taking action, the battle would end quickly and without any mishaps.
However, at this moment, their belief began to waver, and they began to doubt whether this seemingly mysterious female cultivator could really be defeated so easily.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in the sect leader's eyes.
That's exactly the effect he wanted; he wanted to force out her true strength and see just how much she was hiding.
Immediately afterwards, an incomparably powerful sword aura, like a dragon emerging from the sea, roared as it pounced towards Chu Lengyu, determined to capture her in one fell swoop.
Just as the sword energy was about to touch her, her figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, she had already appeared in another location.
This is teleportation! The sect leader frowned slightly. He clearly realized that this female cultivator was indeed not a Golden Core cultivator, but a Nascent Soul cultivator!
His longsword emitted an even more dazzling light, and in an instant, the entire market town of Misty Cloud Island was enveloped by this powerful sword intent.
In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and snowflakes fell like goose feathers, as if winter had arrived early.
Those with shallow cultivation or inadequate protection were frozen into lifelike ice sculptures by the extreme cold.
Even those with profound cultivation and extensive knowledge, hiding in the Treasure Pavilion, felt the chill that could penetrate to the bone. They couldn't help but secretly circulate their internal energy to resist it, and were secretly shocked by the power of this sword technique.
In mid-air, Chu Lengyu's expression remained completely calm.
She knew that the Hundred Swords Pavilion's leader's famous skill was the Snow-Swallowing Wave Sword Technique, which consisted of three forms. What she was displaying now was the first form—Ten Thousand Miles of Ice and Snow.
In the Hundred Swords Pavilion, there are many legends about this sword technique, saying that its power is unmatched. Chu Lengyu couldn't help but feel a little curious and wanted to see and experience the mystery of this sword technique.
In the Treasure Pavilion, although she had the help of Manager Hu to collect many martial arts manuals, most of them were ordinary and did not meet her standards.
At this moment, facing the power of the Snow-Swallowing Waves Sword, she finally realized that true swordsmanship should be like this.
In the blink of an eye, the sword flashed like lightning and disappeared in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a chilling sword aura, like an ice dragon soaring into the sky, roared out with overwhelming power.
Wherever it passes, the air is chilling, the land is frozen solid, and everything is frozen.
If a person is touched by this sword energy, they will be frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant, unable to move and losing all power to resist.
"That's interesting," Chu Lengyu said softly, a hint of approval in her voice.
She slightly raised her wrist.
In that split second!
Hundreds of bolts of lightning were drawn by an invisible force, transforming into wildly dancing lightning serpents that charged toward the ice dragon with earth-shattering force!
The collision between the lightning serpent and the ice dragon unleashed a dazzling light, causing the heavens and earth to flicker with light for a moment!
