Chapter 930 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

Ling Hua ventured into danger alone, nearly giving Yu Lingzi a heart attack from the frustration. She had also been keeping an eye on Fei Yao's situation. But without absolute certainty, she dared not make any moves. After all, Fei Yao was one of the seven vice-leaders of the Blood Reverence Hall. Irrespective of her power, who knew what tricks the Blood Reverence Hall might have up its sleeve with her? After apologizing to the elders of Saint Immortal Mountain, Yu Lingzi sat on her throne, head bowed, silent. Tang Xin and the great elder Xuan Miao watched, unsure how to console her. "Has Ling Hua become so powerful?" The eldest sister whispered. During their time in the Nihility Realm, Ling Hua seemed somewhat powerless against Fei Yao, who was at the peak of merging paths. If not for the self-destruction of the Snow Artifact, even their combined forces wouldn't have been able to approach her. "While you weren't here, Ling Hua continued her seclusion," Xuan Miao answered quietly, "She possesses the extremely rare 'Thousand Swords Spirit Body' among sword cultivators and has successfully cultivated the Mysterious Spirit Technique. As to what level of strength she has achieved now, I cannot say." The Thousand Swords Spirit Body is hailed as the supreme cultivation of sword cultivators. Legend has it that upon perfect cultivation, one can command all the treasured swords under heaven. If not for her advanced age and frail health, perhaps Su Ling's role as the protagonist should have been assumed by her... Coupled with the miraculous Mysterious Spirit Technique, realms were simply not a concern for Ling Hua. After a long silence, Yu Lingzi slowly stood up and said to Xuan Miao. "I'll leave the sect in your hands. I'm going to bring her back." "Don't be rash," the great elder shook her head, "Going there alone is too risky. The Hell Realm is far from here and heavily guarded by the Blood Reverence Hall. Besides, even if you catch up to Ling Hua, given her temperament, do you think you could persuade her to return?" "If persuasion fails, I will bring her back by force!" Yu Lingzi stated coldly. "You know her temperament," Xuan Miao sighed, "If you lay hands on her, she'll truly fight you to the end..." "I can't watch her march into death! She thinks she's responsible for Fei Yao's death all those years ago and has since not cared for her own life..." The sect leader bit her lip. Fei Yao, Yu Lingzi, and Ling Hua had always been close. Although Ling Hua often appeared defiant towards the sect leader, she rarely went against her wishes. Although Yu Lingzi often gnashed her teeth in frustration with Ling Hua, she always helped solve the problems Ling Hua left in her wake. Perhaps Ling Hua had been capable of forcefully entering Saint Immortal Mountain all along; she only acted now, perhaps believing that Yu Lingzi's successful ascension in tribulation was sufficient to protect the Mysterious Spirit Sect, leaving her with no further responsibilities. "I'll go." Tang Xin, who had been listening all this while, spoke up. "I'll persuade Senior Sister Seven to return." "You..?" Yu Lingzi frowned. "How will you go? And even if you did, what could you possibly do to her?" "Through a long-distance teleportation array," the eldest sister suggested, "Didn't we use it once before when searching for the Spirit-Eating Bug Realm? We can ask Master Bai to send me near the Hell Realm, and I can stop her before she does anything foolish." "How exactly will you stop her?" Xuan Miao inquired. "I'll figure out a method," Tang Xin replied, "The great elder said it herself, Ling Hua is stubborn. Using force won't work. So my trying to stop her won't be any different from if the sect leader tried." "But..." The sect leader's brows furrowed. "In the worst-case scenario," Tang Xin continued, "If I can't stop her and she confronts the Blood Reverence Hall directly, the sect leader will need to think of ways to send reinforcements to support us." Yu Lingzi was visibly conflicted. "Honestly, it seems I'm the only one who can do this," the eldest sister chuckled, "Have you forgotten? Ling Hua has always harbored ill will towards me, which means I hold a significant place in her heart. I was the one who brought her back from the Nihility Realm initially, and now I can do it a second time." Tang Xin's words left Yu Lingzi and Xuan Miao unable to counter. Ascended cultivators, due to their immense energy, cannot use such one-way long-distance teleportation arrays, and since Ling Hua had left some time ago, even Yu Lingzi's higher realm might not guarantee catching up to her. Moreover, without Yu Lingzi, there would be no one to discuss and organize a rescue team with other ascended powerhouses. Regardless, the plan for Tang Xin to approach the enemy camp alone was exceedingly dangerous. Should the Blood Reverence Hall discover her, she would truly find herself trapped, with no escape. "Don't hesitate any longer. The Mysterious Spirit Sect might manage without Senior Sister Seven, but Su Ling cannot be without a master!" Tang Xin said ardently. "Has Ling Hua ever taught Su Ling anything? Well, it seems not..." After a moment of sober contemplation, the sect leader and the great elder finally agreed to Tang Xin's plan. They sought Master Bai of the Tianyan Sect, asking her once again to construct a one-way long-distance teleportation array. "Ah, now I understand why Yu Lingzi never seems to grow up," Master Bai commented while setting up the array, "With sect disciples and elders causing so much concern, it's no wonder she can't even eat properly. How is she supposed to grow?" "Shut it, or else I'll spill all your dark secrets from years past..." Since there were specific coordinates this time, the teleportation array was much more stable than before. Tang Xin stepped into the array, ready for action. "Remember," the great elder Xuan Miao instructed, "If you can stop her, do so. If not, wait for us to bring reinforcements. Don't act rashly." "Understood, I promise to accomplish the mission!" The eldest sister nodded firmly. Yu Lingzi paced back and forth next to the array, wanting to stop the plan but swallowing her words each time. She didn't want Tang Xin to take the risk, but she also couldn't bear to watch Ling Hua sinlessly throw her life away. "Blood Reverence Hall..." The petite face of the loli sect leader darkened. If not for the Blood Reverence Hall, there would be none of these troubles! As the bright light flared up, Tang Xin vanished from the array in a whoosh. "Let’s go," Yu Lingzi grimly stated, "This time, anyone who disagrees with attacking the Blood Reverence Hall, I'll split them in two!" In the void, a small spiritual boat sped through. "The Hell Realm should not be far now." Inside the boat, Ling Hua muttered to herself. "If this succeeds, considering Fei Yao's sister's face, Yu Lingzi probably won't punish me. If I fail, I’ll leave my life here, and Yu Lingzi will have no means to punish me... Great, it seems no matter what, I won't face any punishment." "Su Ling is a child of exceptional talent and fortune; she doesn't need my guidance. The only regret is not seizing the chance to deal with Tang Xin before leaving... I'm not even afraid of death, why would I fear her resistance?" The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it, sighing deeply. "I'm such a fool!" Knock, knock! A knocking sound came from outside the boat. Suddenly, a figure appeared right in front of the spiritual boat. Senior Sister Seven was momentarily stunned, then rubbed her eyes vigorously. "What the? Am I hallucinating? How could Tang Xin appear before me?" "Attention inside," the eldest sister, with arms crossed, shouted, "Come down from the boat immediately, or I will punish you on behalf of the sect leader!"
