You have no idea how long I have waited for this moment, Master Tian! Xiao Meilin laughed chaotically as she swung her sword mercilessly, despite the difference in their cuivation.

Youre really enjoying yourself, arent you? Yuan remarked with a stiff smile on his face.

For some reason, he didnt feel the need to tell her to stop attacking him, almost as if he knew that it would be pointless and that the only way for her to stop was to satisfy her.

Meanwhile, Leader Yang and the others were left speechless by the unexpected situation.

Why are they fighting? I thought they were friends?

You idiot, look at the Crimson Empress face! I have never seen her smile before, yet shes smiling from ear to ear right now!

Y-Youre right! Good lord, who is that man?! The men there couldnt help but feel smitten by Xiao Meilin at this moment, even though they were terrified of her just moments ago, and it was caused by a single smile.

As for Yuan, he was barely just strong enough to fight Xiao Meilin without being completely overpowered.

Xiao Meilin was at the ninth level of God Ascension, essentially the peak of the cuivation world. Moreover, unlike the other cuivators, she possessed an abundance of spiritual energy in her Dantian, allowing her to fight without restraint.

Of course, she wasnt using Celestial Qi, or Yuan wouldnt stand a chance even with Eternal Essence.

A minute ten minutes an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

As Yuan continued fighting Xiao Meilin, his memories of the Asura Clan started to resurface, such as their first encounter, how they started as enemies but ended as allies, and his relationship with Xiao Meilin and the other members.

Noticing a profound flicker in Yuans eyes, Xiao Meilin remarked, You dare think about other things while clashing swords with me? That arroganceyou havent changed one bit since we last met during the Primordial Era!

Yuan smiled and said, I can say the same to you. Dont tell me youve spent your time in this place cuivating?

Isnt that obvious? Theres nothing else to do in this shithole besides cuivating.

You were only at the second level of God Ascension the last time I saw you. To reach the ninth level while stuck in this place very impressive.

Xiao Meilin chuckled as she swung her sword, You, on the other hand, have gotten a lot weaker.

Are you disappointed?

…

After several exchanges in silence, Xiao Meilin responded with a sadistic grin on her beautiful face, Seeing you weaker than me its actually very exciting.

Xiao Meilins expression sent chills down Yuans spine. It wont stay like this for long, he quickly said.

Then I should take advantage of this moment while I still can, she said while licking her lips.

The next moment, Xiao Meilins prowess skyrocketed, and she started pushing back Yuan with seemingly no effort.

Even when using nearly every trick he had, Yuan still found himself completely overwhelmed by Xiao Meilins prowess.

Not only is she not using her Celestial Qi, but even her weapon is lacking! Yet, shes overpowering me to such an extent! Yuan couldnt help but smile despite the situation.

If Xiao Meilin were released to the outside world and upgraded her weapon, who knows how much more of a monster she would become?

After being tossed around by Xiao Meilin for several more hours, Yuan finally said, Alright, how much longer do you intend to mess around? I need to speak to your father. Its about Xiao Hua.

Xiao Meilin stopped her movements and lowered her sword.

My junior sister? Now that you mentioned her, where is she? Did you not come here with her? she said as she looked around.

Shes currently in my Dantian, but she cannot come out due to reasons.

Xiao Meilin narrowed her eyes slightly and mumbled, Could it be did it already start?

What do you mean? Yuan asked after hearing this.

Xiao Meilin shook her head and said, Ill let father explain it to you instead. Ill take you to him now.

Alright. Yuan nodded as he stowed away his weapon.

Ah, right. Before we leave Xiao Meilins expression suddenly hardened as her cold gaze swept over Sect Leader Zu and the others. What should we do with them? Want me to kill them all?

Despite Xiao Meilin not paying attention to them, none of them dared to leave the scene. After all, even if they snuck away, they would never be able to truly escape.

Have mercy! Sect Leader Zu, who was still in his soul form, pleaded. However, Yuan remained indifferent as he commanded, Kill them all.

As you wish.

Immense killing intent erupted from Xiao Meilin the next instant, her body shrouded in a crimson aura that bled into the air, saturating the atmosphere with malice.

As Xiao Meilin raised her sword, every member of the Chaotic Sect instinctively turned to flee. But before they could escape, she brought her blade down in a single, fluid motion. In the blink of an eye, the air splitand so did they, their bodies torn apart into countless pieces all at once.

Power of the Void! To Yuans astonishment, Xiao Meilin was wielding the Power of the Void, an ability so rare that few cuivators could even comprehend it, let alone command it to such a degree, and ahough slightly, her understanding surpassed even his.

What do you think? Xiao Meilin asked, turning to Yuan with a faint flicker in her eyes, as though expecting his praise after annihilating the Chaotic Sect.

Whered you learn to wield the Power of the Void? he asked.

I comprehended it through studying Spiritual Rifts, she calmly responded.

Seriously? How long did that take?

Longer than it took me to reach the ninth level of God Ascension.

I see

Ready to leave? Xiao Meilin then asked.

YesActually, hold on.

Yuan nearly forgot about Mu Xuelian and went to fetch her.

Whos that? Xiao Meilin asked, her eyes narrowing in suspicion as they fell upon Mu Xuelian.
