“Feng Yi” said in a low voice, “Can’t you recognize Xuantian Sect?”
Bao Gu looked at “Feng Yi” and said, “Just because you’re wearing the face of the Xuantian Sect’s Discipline Hall Elder, you think you really are the Discipline Hall Elder?”
Zi Tianjun’s eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to grab at Bao Gu.
Bao Gu slid her foot forward, raising her hand to meet Zi Tianjun head-on.
But at the same time, “Feng Yi” reached out a claw toward Yu Mi.
Bao Gu sensed “Feng Yi’s” movement and flew into a rage, shouting coldly, “Looking for death!” She abandoned Zi Tianjun, turned, and charged at “Feng Yi,” pouring all her strength into a palm and a punch that struck “Feng Yi’s” hand as it reached for Yu Mi.
A torrent of overwhelming force surged from “Feng Yi’s” palm up his arm, and wherever the punch landed, his flesh and blood shattered inch by inch.
With one blow, “Feng Yi” exploded into a mass of bloody fragments, blood splattering everywhere.
Bao Gu’s back was facing Zi Tianjun, leaving her wide open.
As Yu Mi shouted “Watch out!” and lunged forward, Zi Tianjun’s palm struck Bao Gu’s back, but was bounced back by the protective aura covering her body, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.
The force of the rebound left his right hand numb.
With a single punch, she had blown apart a third-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who was about to break through to mid-stage, leaving everyone nearby horrified.
Instinctively, they all took several steps back.
A man in his forties appeared in the bloody mist left by “Feng Yi.” He cried out in shock and fear, “How is this possible? You… you… you’re actually a Void Tearing stage powerhouse! And so young…” No matter how someone disguised themselves or maintained their appearance, the eyes never lied.
Zi Tianjun climbed up from the ground, his face dark as he shouted, “Such ruthless methods!”
Not far away, a large group of cultivators flew over.
They were all scattered rogue cultivators, some at the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even Nascent Soul stages.
Their cultivation wasn’t high, but there were more than three hundred of them.
They landed behind the injured Zi Tianjun and “concernedly” asked, “Master Zi, are you alright?”
Someone else shouted sternly at Bao Gu, “Who are you people? How dare you cause trouble at Xuantian Sect and even injure Master Zi? Do you know the Blade Order Master? Even the Blade Order Master has to respectfully greet our Master Zi as ‘Grandmaster’! If you dare make trouble at Xuantian Sect, you’d better think twice about your own strength—some people are not to be messed with!”
“Who dares act so arrogantly in my Xuantian Sect?” A cold voice rang out, and a woman in white, her face covered by a veil with only her smooth forehead showing, flew over swiftly on a crystal-clear, high-quality flying sword.
She hovered in the air, her icy gaze fixed on Bao Gu.
Behind her stood another cultivator, radiant and beautiful, looking exactly like Yu Mi, even their aura and temperament were very similar.
But on closer inspection, her skin was rough, her eyes dull, nothing like her senior sister who had consumed countless spiritual treasures, refined her body, and reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Especially those eyes—her senior sister’s eyes seemed to have two flames burning inside, bright enough to light up a person’s heart, while this fake’s eyes just made people sleepy.
She glanced at the “Yu Mi” and shook her head.
This “Yu Mi” wore a Nascent Soul stage magic dress that looked decent at first glance, but on closer inspection was crudely made and of inferior materials, at best a low-grade magic treasure close to mid-grade.
Her senior sister loved beauty, but because she fought often, her clothes and accessories were always practical and life-saving, and if they were to be effective, they were never ordinary—at the very least, high-grade magic treasures, and her senior sister’s clothes were even a spirit treasure! The most valuable thing on this fake “Yu Mi” was that low-grade Nascent Soul magic dress, close to mid-grade, the rest were all low-grade.
At first glance, she seemed well-dressed in Nascent Soul magic treasures, but on closer look, it was all cheap stuff.
The group of rogue cultivators saw the two women arrive and all cupped their fists in salute, “Greetings, Blade Order Master!”
The “Blade Order Master” stared at Bao Gu and coldly spat out a single word, “Scram!”
Yu Mi looked at the two women who had suddenly appeared, her eyes dark as she said, “I want to rip their faces off.” With that, she started rummaging through her storage pouch for a weapon.
Her Nanming Lihuo Sword was a spirit weapon, fused with her body, but now that her cultivation was crippled, she couldn’t gather spiritual energy to use it.
She pulled out a top-grade Nascent Soul sword from her pouch, gripped it, and was about to charge at the fake Yu Mi, but with her cultivation ruined, her dantian’s spiritual power was pitifully low, and she couldn’t possibly handle the consumption of a Nascent Soul magic weapon.
She gripped the sword, instinctively channeling her meager spiritual power and sword energy into it, and instantly drained herself dry!
Seeing Yu Mi draw a high-quality Nascent Soul magic weapon and step forward to attack, two ordinary-looking rogue cultivators rushed up—one attacked Yu Mi, the other tried to snatch her sword.
Bao Gu sensed Yu Mi’s off-kilter aura, flashed forward, grabbed Yu Mi by the waist and pulled her behind, shielding her.
She formed a sword seal with her fingers, and two sharp sword auras shot out, piercing straight through the two attackers’ foreheads.
Their bodies went limp and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
“Feng Yi” may have lost his body, but at least his soul survived and could become a ghost cultivator.
These two, left with intact corpses, had their souls utterly destroyed.
This move stunned everyone around! The girl looked young, but she killed without hesitation, and what was even more terrifying was how casually she did it—her strength was simply unfathomable.
The group of rogue cultivators all looked to the “Blade Order Master.” With such a fierce “Blade Order Master” present, even a Void Tearing stage cultivator would be destroyed in one move if she unleashed the Xuantian Sword!
A trace of panic flashed in the “Blade Order Master’s” eyes.
Her deep voice rang out, “You’ve got some skill.
Name yourself.”
Bao Gu said coldly, “Leave the Archaic Mountains, or die!”
The “Blade Order Master’s” brows furrowed, her voice heavy, “Are you threatening me? You want to go to war with the Blade Gang? Do you know what happens to those who cross me?”
“Yu Mi” looked at Bao Gu arrogantly and said coldly, “Do you believe I won’t burn you to ashes with a single Nanming Lihuo?”
Yu Mi was so amused by “Yu Mi” that she laughed.
“If you can, go ahead and burn me to ashes with Nanming Lihuo!” She could tell at a glance that the impostor was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage! Someone at early Foundation Establishment wanting to use Nanming Lihuo to burn her to ashes—who was she trying to kid? Both she and Bao Gu were the type to solve problems with their fists, not their mouths.
These impostors were just too unconvincing!
“Yu Mi” snorted coldly, acting like she was above it all because her cultivation was crippled and she wouldn’t stoop to their level.
Yu Mi crooked her finger at “Yu Mi,” saying, “Come on, let’s spar.
I’ll teach you how to impersonate me.”
Bao Gu glanced at Yu Mi, speechless.
Zi Tianjun could tell these newcomers were trouble, but couldn’t figure out if they were here to pick a fight or just bluffing.
He flicked his sleeve and scolded “Yu Mi,”
“Yu Mi, don’t be reckless!” Then he changed his expression, speaking kindly, “Our Xuantian Sect has always worked for the good of the cultivation world.
The Archaic Mountains are extremely dangerous, filled with arrays.
We need to gather cultivators from all over to break through and uncover its secrets.
For someone so young to have such cultivation, I am truly impressed.
May I ask who your master is, and would you be interested in joining forces with Xuantian Sect? Xuantian Sect is eager to recruit talented people from all over to work together!”
Bao Gu heard Zi Tianjun’s words and quickly understood what these scammers were up to.
Their strength was limited, so they pretended to be Xuantian Sect members to trick rogue cultivators into exploring the Archaic Mountains, using them to “dig up” opportunities.
Bao Gu guessed they didn’t have the ability to go deep into the mountains, only circling the outskirts.
They probably also thought that since Xuantian Sect had already scouted the area, they wouldn’t be on the outskirts but would teleport straight to a base deep inside.
Bao Gu saw that this group was all rogue cultivators, obviously poor and struggling, which was why they came here to try their luck on the outskirts.
Having grown up doing good deeds with her father, she always felt sympathy for the poor.
She sighed softly and said, “You should leave.
The Archaic Mountains are not for you.
With your strength, stepping inside is a death sentence.” Her gaze swept over Zi Tianjun, the Blade Order Master, “Yu Mi,” and the twenty-some Nascent Soul cultivators dressed as Xuantian Sect disciples behind them, and she said coldly, “As for you, more than twenty of you banded together with a Nascent Soul cultivator leading—clearly organized and up to something.
Impersonating Xuantian Sect to scam people, I can’t just let you go.”
As she spoke, she used her divine sense to contact Feng Yi in the Xuantian Mountains, giving a rough report of the situation.
The rogue cultivators present weren’t blind.
Seeing the two girls’ impressive strength and extraordinary bearing—more intimidating than the “Blade Order Master” on her flying sword—and hearing the veiled woman say to “Yu Mi,”
“Come on, let’s spar.
I’ll teach you how to impersonate me,” and now this one openly accusing them of impersonating Xuantian Sect, they started to have doubts.
Some immediately stepped away from the “Xuantian Sect” people, making it clear they weren’t with them.
Another rogue cultivator asked, “Miss, are you saying this Master Zi, Blade Order Master, and Young Master Yu are all impostors? Do you have any proof?”
