Chapter 9: You don’t need to understand, you just need to obey [please vote for evaluation]

Ling Xue had long grown accustomed to Yu Yaoyao’s temperament.

This woman had been eyeing him since they were young.

When Ling Xue was still young, he almost fell into her hands.

At that time, Ling Xue was still just a boy, only thirteen years old.

Once, during a bath, Yu Yaoyao barged in suddenly, claiming she wanted to give him a back massage.

Then… if someone else hadn’t come in suddenly, Ling Xue really would have had his first time right then…

But now…

Ling Xue looked at Yu Yaoyao, at the seductive curves that were deadly tempting to men.

Now, he could be entirely unreserved with her!

“Where have you been all these years?” Ling Xue asked.

“Wandering outside, of course!” Yu Yaoyao replied with a charming smile.

She added flirtatiously, “Rest assured, Master, I’m still a virgin.”

Of course, she understood that Ling Xue was asking if she had been with any men while she was away.

Naturally, she hadn’t been with any men.

After all, Ling Xue’s father had gathered the Twelve Fiends of the Heavenly Demon Sect to assist Ling Xue in the future.

To put it bluntly, their lives belonged to Ling Xue.

As for Yu Yaoyao, in her heart, she was, of course, Ling Xue’s as well.

Or perhaps, to put it another way, Ling Xue was hers!

Upon hearing this, the Xiao Xiao next to Ling Xue puffed her cheeks and shot Yu Yaoyao a glance and thought.

Is being a virgin such a big deal? I’m also still a virgin, aren’t I?

Why can it be anyone, but not me?

The young master is really something; I’m by his side every day, and he never once has improper thoughts about me.

I may not have fully matured yet, but I’m not that young anymore, am I?

Ling Xue’s blood-red eyes glanced at Yu Yaoyao before withdrawing.

He thought, Staying clean and untouched is, of course, the best!

Then, Ling Xue’s gaze shifted to another person.

Another woman, dressed in black with long dark hair and a cold demeanor. She stood there with her arms crossed, holding a slender black sword.

She remained silent, and her indifferent face made it clear she wasn’t much of a talker.

She exuded the aura of a heroic swordswoman.

This person was also one of the Twelve Fiends of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Lin Feng!

“Where have you been all these years?” Ling Xue asked Lin Feng.

“Does the master also care whether or not I’m a virgin?” Lin Feng asked coldly, glancing at him.

“I’m only responsible for assisting the master, not for serving him in *that* way,” she said indifferently.

She wasn’t like Yu Yaoyao, who had been scheming her whole life about when she’d sleep with the young master.

She was a more serious person, similar to Xiao Xiangyu.

“Just answer truthfully,” Ling Xue said calmly.

Lin Feng looked at Ling Xue and answered truthfully, “I’ve been traveling the Yuan Yang Continent. I haven’t left.”

The continent they were on was, of course, the Yuan Yang Continent.

She hadn’t ventured far, as she was always ready to return to the Demon Sect at any time.

“You have… a fragment, don’t you? A fragment of the Qiankun Sword Technique.” Ling Xue asked casually.

In the original text, Lin Feng had indeed obtained a fragment during her years of wandering the continent.

Of course, it was only a fragment!

The Qiankun Sword Technique!*

[*”乾坤剑决 (Qiánkūn Jiànjué)” – An ancient sword technique that is highly revered and powerful, said to have been left behind by a martial arts expert from ancient times.]

Legend had it that it was left behind by an ancient martial expert who had reached the pinnacle of the Ten Realms of Extreme Martial Arts, making it incredibly powerful.

Just possessing a fragment of it had allowed Lin Feng, who was at the mid-stage of the Shenyuan Realm, to rival experts at the late stage of the same realm.

One could only imagine how terrifying the complete Qiankun Sword Technique would be.

After all, it had been left behind by a peak expert of the Ten Realms of Extreme Martial Arts.

In the cultivation hierarchy, the Ten Realms of Lingwu were considered the entry-level, or novice stage.

The  Earth Spirit Realm was the ordinary stage. Most people spend their entire lives reaching only this level.

The Tianxuan Realm was the level of true experts. Anyone who reached it could be considered highly skilled.

Only those in the Divine Yuan Realm (shényuán jìng)* can be considered strong!

[*” Shényuán jìng”: Refers to an advanced cultivation realm in many Chinese fantasy novels, where characters gain immense strength and power.]

Any force that possesses experts in the Divine Origin Realm can be called a major power.

The Extreme Martial Realm, on the other hand, was the true pinnacle of the realm!

As for the Ultimate Martial Realm (jí wǔ zhī jìng),* that is the true pinnacle of cultivation!

[*” Jí wǔ zhī jìng”: A fictional realm that represents the peak of martial cultivation.]

From ancient times to now, very few have ever reached the Ultimate Martial Realm.

Even at his strongest, Ling Xue’s father only reached the Sixth Stage of the Ultimate Martial Realm!

That Qiankun Sword Technique (Qiánkūn Jiàn Jué)* was left behind by a pinnacle expert who had reached the Tenth Stage of the Ultimate Martial Realm.

[*” Qiánkūn Jiàn Jué”: A powerful fictional sword technique in the novel, representing mastery over balance and power.]

The strength of the complete Qiankun Sword Technique is beyond words.

Of course, Ling Xue wants to get his hands on such a high-level martial art technique.

Lin Feng’s cold, beautiful eyes looked at Ling Xue, saying, “It seems the Lord Demon Master truly appears indifferent, yet knows everything about our every move?”

Indeed, she held a fragment of the Qiankun Sword Technique!

It was something she obtained by chance.

She had naturally never told anyone, yet Ling Xue knew.

It shows just how extraordinary this young master truly is.

She even suspected that Ling Xue had been arranging for experts to secretly monitor them all along.

Were there experts in the Demon Sect that she wasn’t aware of?

“Give it to me!” Ling Xue extended his hand toward Lin Feng from the seat of honor.

Lin Feng didn’t hesitate, flicking her fingers.

The fragment flew toward Ling Xue.

Of course, she would give Ling Xue whatever he wanted.

Not to mention this, even if Ling Xue wanted her, though she wasn’t a woman with improper desires for him, she would still give herself to him.

Ling Xue reached out and caught the fragment!

Looking at the fragment in his hand, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

What he wanted was the complete Qiankun Sword Technique!

But no one knew where the complete Qiankun Sword Technique was.

Not even in the original story’s final chapter did the full version of this technique appear.

It was one of the big unresolved mysteries in the original story.

But now, he could of course use Yun Luoxi to directly acquire the complete version of the Qiankun Sword Technique.

“I know where the complete Qiankun Sword Technique is!” Ling Xue said as he spun the fragment in his hand.

Ling Xue continued slowly, “Send out the order, our Demon Sect will immediately go to Cangyun Heavenly Mountain to seize the complete Qiankun Sword Technique!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng and the others were shocked.

He knew where the complete Qiankun Sword Technique was.

It was on Cangyun Heavenly Mountain?

How did he know that?

“There’s an ancient tomb on Cangyun Heavenly Mountain! The complete Qiankun Sword Technique is inside that tomb!” Ling Xue said with a faint smile.

There was indeed an ancient tomb there, but the complete Qiankun Sword Technique wasn’t inside.

What he wanted was for everyone to believe that the complete technique was inside.

Everyone, including Yun Luoxi!

As long as she thought the technique was there and believed she had it!

Then, he would naturally come to truly possess the Qiankun Sword Technique!

Thus, he needed to create a false truth.

A false truth that Yun Luoxi would believe without question.

“Yes! I’ll send out the order at once. We will follow the Demon Master in secret to Cangyun Heavenly Mountain!” Lin Feng said immediately.

“Not in secret, but openly! And… make sure everyone knows about it!” Ling Xue said calmly.

Hearing this, Lin Feng and the others were immediately confused.

Let everyone know about this.

“I don’t understand! Wouldn’t it be better to take it secretly? If others go, won’t it cause trouble?” Lin Feng asked.

She continued, “If others go, wouldn’t that just add more competitors?”

“You don’t need to understand!” Ling Xue’s crimson eyes looked at Lin Feng.

The rest didn’t need to be said.

You don’t need to understand, you just need to obey!

Lin Feng’s delicate eyebrows moved slightly. This guy was really… starting to show the demeanor of a true Demon Sect leader!

Then again, he was always the Demon Master!

This was exactly how a Demon Master should act!

Then Lin Feng nodded gently: “Yes!”

Immediately afterward, Ling Xue asked everyone in the Demon Sect to release the news.

The Qiankun Sword Art is in the ancient tomb in Cangyun Tianshan Mountain, and everyone from the Demon Sect is about to go to Cangyun Tianshan Mountain to seize the ancient sword art!
