The Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens: Mysterious Maiden Sword was unleashed, its dazzling glow piercing the eyes.

Even Lingshan was momentarily blinded by the light, but fortunately recovered quickly and wasn't hurt by Tu Hongxiu's first strike.

Lingshan snorted coldly, "Hmph, you think you can hit me like that without considering your own skills."

He didn't take Tu Hongxiu's sword seriously at all.

"Then watch what happens next!"

Tu Hongxiu swiftly brandished her second sword.

This strike was much more powerful than the first.

Even Lingshan, facing Tu Hongxiu again, felt a deep apprehension.

The Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens: Mysterious Maiden Sword split into ten, each as powerful as the main blade.

"The Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens: Mysterious Maiden Sword, truly extraordinary."

Lingshan brought out his dual hammers.

The hammers whooshed through the air.

Each swing was forceful enough to turn a head to pulp.

"So what if you have the Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens: Mysterious Maiden Sword, my brutal hammers can still take your life!"

Lingshan started showing off his fancy hammer techniques.

The hammer brushed past Tu Hongxiu's shoulder, aiming precisely for any injury she had.

Luckily, one of Tu Hongxiu's swords clashed with Lingshan's hammer, narrowly dodging another blow.

Fueled by years of pent-up burden and hatred, Tu Hongxiu's fury became her strength against Lingshan.

The Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens: Mysterious Maiden Sword erupted with unprecedented power.

Lingshan initially parried a couple of moves, but soon found himself retreating until he could no longer withstand, collapsing on the ground.

"Lingshan, this is your fate. Farewell."

The final sword, Tu Hongxiu mercilessly pierced through Lingshan's chest.

A vibrant peony bloomed as Lingshan exhaled his last breath.

Most times, a wrong choice leads to a lifetime's wrong path.

Choosing to side with Wang Tielin against the East Pole Saint Emperor Sect was his mistake, and now it's too late for regrets.

Tu Hongxiu set fire to Lingshan's body.

Lingshan's Soul Power was shattered by Tu Hongxiu; this once-great Immortal Emperor didn't even leave ashes behind. What a pity, what a lament!

Tu Hongxiu didn't care that the mountain cave behind her was leveled.

Nor did she care how future generations would praise her superior skills.

When she found Tang Rao, he had already been waiting for her at a safe place for a while.

"My dearest Hongxiu, I finally get to see you! I've missed you terribly!"

Tang Rao held Tu Hongxiu's hand and looked her over from head to toe.

"It's a relief that you're okay; otherwise, I'd have worried myself to death."

Tang Rao's keen eyes didn't miss any of the wounds on Tu Hongxiu's body.

He took an Elixir Pill from his Space Ring and handed it to Tu Hongxiu: "Hurry up and take it; do you think you can live if you bleed out?"

The Elixir Pill was crafted with the finest ingredients from the Gengyu Mausoleum.

Tang Rao hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the only pill for restoring Primordial Spirit and body, yet he handed it over to Tu Hongxiu without hesitation.

"Thank you, Tang Rao."

Whether it was due to the Elixir Pill or the reclaiming of the Emperor Sect.

"It's nothing, to reward you, tonight I'll let you be on top, hehe."

Tang Rao only dared to say such shameless words after seeing Tu Hongxiu swallow the pill.

"Get lost, nothing nice comes out of your mouth!"

Tu Hongxiu's face turned red at once.

Why can't you keep it private inside, must you say it in front of so many people?

"Brother Tang Rao, I feel like I'm about to breakthrough, maybe you could guide me tonight and help me realize something?"

Tang Rao hadn't even finished talking with Tu Hongxiu when Xiao Yun appeared.

"If I advance, the Kao Shan Sect will have another talented person, don't you think so, Brother Tang Rao?"

Xiao Yun was so obvious in her hints, if Tu Hongxiu didn't get it, she wouldn't be a woman.

"Tang Rao, guide Xiao Yun tonight, I need to heal."

Tu Hongxiu said flatly.

"Sister Hongxiu is injured, can't you see? How could you bear to let Sister Hongxiu play with you while she's hurt?"

"Brother Tang Rao, just accompany me for a bit."

Xiao Yun's coquettish act was even more charming than Li Shengxuan's.

Wow, if Tang Rao didn't know Xiao Yun's true nature, he might have been fooled by her act.

"Fine, I'll guide you just for tonight. But if you don't reach the third level of Immortal Monarch, you'll see how I'll deal with you."

Tang Rao relented.

Given Xiao Yun was Liu Mingyue's sister, until it was clear whether Chen Tuan and Liu Mingyue were enemies or friends, Tang Rao needed to treat Xiao Yun kindly.

At night, the moon was dark, and the winds were high.

Everyone was in their dreams.

In the desolate courtyard, one person lit a fire, shivering from the cold.

He was waiting for someone.

Someone who said they needed Tang Rao's guidance in cultivation at night.

"Xiao Yun, in five more minutes, if you don't come, I'm leaving."

The Land of Immortals truly is a strange place with such crappy weather.

Bright and sunny by day, at night it becomes chillingly despairing.

Ice crystals had already formed on Tang Rao's eyelashes; if she didn't come soon, Xiao Yun would be meeting a popsicle.

"I'm coming, I'm coming! I was just so hungry and went to find something good to eat."

Xiao Yun smacked her lips.

The signs were obvious she had snuck away to eat roasted chicken legs.

"I brought two for you too, hurry up and eat."

Tang Rao accepted them, the chicken legs were still warm.

This girl had indeed put in effort.

"The moon is high in the branches, dawn is approaching, you should quickly reach the third level of Immortal Monarch."

Tang Rao couldn't let himself ease up on Xiao Yun just because of her chicken legs.

Tang Rao kept his word.

He sacrificed his happy life to accompany Xiao Yun in her promotion.

With this method, if she didn't succeed, Tang Rao really would spank Xiao Yun's behind.

"Brother Tang Rao, you're so fiery, it must be because you didn't get to have fun with Sister Hongxiu tonight, right?"

Xiao Yun warmed her hands with her breath.

Her little face reddened from the cold, yet there was a loneliness in her eyes.

When talking about that thing with Tu Hongxiu, tears started sparkling on Xiao Yun's bright eyes.

"Yes, no fun and waited for you all night, so you better work hard."

Tang Rao summoned a small fire spirit to roast the barbecue.

The two set up the grill while Xiao Yun watched eagerly from the side.

"Brother Tang Rao, are you mad? Why don't you go back to Sister Hongxiu?"

Xiao Yun knew she had crossed the line today.

She was merely a disciple of the Kao Shan Sect with no overly close relation to Tang Rao, so why would Tang Rao go above and beyond?

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Xiao Yun started to cry.

Knowing full well Hongxiu was injured and had one less person to care for her.

Oh well.

"Fine, I'll help you promote first and then go check on Hongxiu."

Tang Rao packed the roasted chicken legs into his portable palace.

The portable palace was fully equipped, so while Tang Rao was teaching Xiao Yun, the little fire spirit could cook delicious dishes inside.

Tang Rao had barely closed his mouth when Xiao Yun burst into tears and started running away into the distance.

This girl?

Tang Rao was taken aback.

Hadn't he promised to teach Xiao Yun? Why was she still throwing a tantrum?

The unpredictability of a woman's heart is no lie.
