"It was quite unexpected... the moment we met, we started to clash."

    On Tai Chiu Peak, Pei WanYu, with her arms crossed around her chest, smiled faintly as she watched the two sword lights in the distant horizon.

    originally she thought that QingYue would provoke ZongNanZhi with words first, but she didn't expect QingYue to also understand how to break ZongNanZhi's defense through JianAn.

    But even more surprising to Pei WanYu was ZongNanZhi's direct attack with the sword.

    To take action when the woman Xiao Yinruo was presenting the gift letter, it's an extremely impolite behavior to think about, especially since Zong Nanzhi is the Holy Maiden of the QingMiao Palace...

    But in this very situation, Zong Nanzhi attacked directly with his sword without hesitation.

    "The girl is even sharper than I thought."

    Moping to herself, Pei WanYu wondered how her loyal apprentice would resolve the dispute between the two women next.

    Moreover...

    Pei WanYu's smile faded slightly as she frowned lightly: "How could ZongNanZhi be so crazy?"

    Let's see... if my good apprentice can't handle it, then I'll have to intervene and separate them first."

    ······

    'The woman knows full well that my husband is my man, yet she dares to hug him right in front of me. How shameless can she be?'

    'How dare she, how dare she touch my husband...'

    'This woman must not be let off lightly...'

    In the boundless sky, ZongNanZhi in light blue dress with long fingers fluttering like butterflies to manipulate incantations, exhibits a beauty that is pleasing to the eye.

    Left-hand incantation, unleash Zhenming.

    It's broad daylight, but behind ZongNanZhi there appears to be a full moon, its light as water, accompanied by sword energy like a celestial maiden scattering flowers. It rolls out towards Mu QingYue's direction.

    Endless birth - Yu Yue!

    ZongNanZhi is not a pure swordsman; her skills and techniques are all based on the "Tàishàng Wàngqíng Xiānjué" (Maximally Overlooked Emotions Immortal Technique). Moreover, though she is angry, she also knows the weight of the words 'Sword Immortal' associated with Mu QingYue.

    Therefore, her move is a perfect combination of both divine scripture and swordsmanship.

    Her sword is not the fastest, but the sword energy rising up into the sky is filled with moonlight, shining brilliantly across the sky.

    It's still early morning, but the horizon seems as if it's transitioning into evening.

    ZongNanZhi's sword light flows like a torrent, and she herself vanishes into boundless moonlight, leaving no trace.

    Clang!

    In the midst of the moonlight, another sword light, like winter snowflakes, flares up.

    This sword is far from as magnificent and beautiful as the vast moonlight around it, but it is straightforward, unpretentious, and yet sharp, reaching straight up to the sky.

    Whoosh——

    The black and white 'Dawn and Dusk' moved with a sharp, tinkling sound, merely a slash of 'Breaking the Boundary' sword qi, which cut the moonlight into tiny fragments.

    Mu QingYue easily locks onto ZongNanZhi who is approaching from the left, turning her sword tip, forming a tangible ice sword pressure like an invisible air flow, surging forward like waves.

    But the next second, her fine brows furrowed slightly above the black cloth.

    "I will never spare you... How dare she... dare to touch my husband!?"

    ZongNanZhi's classical face has a crazy expression on her azure eyes, which are filled with a surge of spiritual energy within the boundless forgetfulness field. She directly confronts Mu QingYue's sword pressure as if it were nothing.

    ZongNanZhi's mind is filled with the image of 'her husband being touched by another woman', and her strike is not only flawless but also shows an even more powerful aura.

    To her, the Path of Forgetting Emotions is the Path of JianAn, and as long as she has her husband, she fears nothing.

    She released the handle of her sword and stood in front of it, the azure and white divine sword surrounding her shone with flowing luster, its sword energy soaring between heaven and earth, emitting a sense of auspiciousness and righteousness.

    ZongNanZhi clasped her fingers together to incant the incantation, and the pure white spirit qi produced by cultivating the Path of Forgetting Emotions transformed into a sword qi called 'Bright Mirror Tranquil Water', as rigid as iron due to her present emotional state.

    Within the magical array, the wind and rain converged, and the sword qi surged like inverted ocean waves, breaking through Mu QingYue's sword pressure, one after another with increasing power.

    The sword's scream suddenly became very sharp.

    Wind and rain converged into a thin line, piercing through the void and going away.

    All Directions Wind and Rain - Converge!

    As the sword energy is released, ZongNanZhi moves again, her cold and stern expression not hidden at all. She uses her left hand to perform another divine scripture.

    Water and Wood Grow Together - Circulate!

    Just as Mu QingYue swept her sword like a freehand stroke to block ZongNanZhi's stream of sword energy, the 'Dawn and Dusk' rang out, ready to cut off that line of sword light. Water blossomed into flowers, with every petal on each flower blooming to become a shower of sword qi.

    Mu QingYue can sense that ZongNanZhi is also in the midst of the sea of flowers, and treats the spell she has released as nothing, not being afraid of backstabbing herself.

    The hostility of ZongNanZhi was far beyond Mu QingYue's expectations.

    Her delicate brows furrowed deeper, and Mu QingYue's figure moved like a solitary snowflake against the current, each swing of her sword slicing through hundreds of petals.

    The closer she gets, the clearer she hears the cold sound that ZongNanZhi's red lips emit between the sword whistles.

    "Shameless, despicable... Touching my husband, unforgivable, never forgiven..."

    Watching ZongNanZhi's near-suicidal offensive, Mu QingYue's usually cold heart stirred slightly.

    She had been holding back, after all, she let a little bit of her power out to show some gratitude to the 'pretty woman' who was pretending to be a man.

    But ZongNanZhi's offensive was too aggressive.

    "After all, she's just a woman who's pretending to be married to my junior brother. What right does she have to claim him for herself?"

    "I'm his senior sister, I haven't even said that you took him away, yet she dares to think that she's right?"

    "Even if I give a hundred steps back, since you're married to my junior brother, as his senior sister, shouldn't I still be your senior sister?"

    Especially since this stinking girl's cultivation and swordsmanship are both inferior to mine, what does she have to fight with!？

    Mu QingYue's silver white hair flowed in the wind, and the sword energy of Breaking the Boundary manifested completely, suddenly forming a sword domain like an ice world, colliding with ZongNanZhi's Forgetting Emotions domain.

    A heavy strike of the sword domain, resembling a blunt object, caused a sharp and ear-piercing ringing. The sword domain and the path of forgetting emotions were like two massive grindstones, the collision sending waves of sword qi cascading into the sky.

    With the thought of her husband being touched filling her mind, ZongNanZhi only opens her mouth to berate Mu QingYue when she can't control her emotions. More often than not, she just fights with a disregard for danger, knowing the difference in cultivation levels.

    Mu QingYue, with her silent and reserved personality, expresses her negative emotions through the 'Dawn and Dusk' in her hand.

    One is cold and quiet, the other is cold and reserved, and their divine swords in their hands are their will.

    The sword light of frost brightened.

    Mu QingYue, who had withdrawn some of her sword domain, stood motionless and waited for ZongNanZhi to approach before cutting open a brilliant arc.

    ZongNanZhi's dark green hair flew up, Mu QingYue's sword qi came from all directions, but even so, she thought about not looking defeated in front of her husband.

    With her eyes closed, ZongNanZhi formed a hand seal with her left hand, and the spiritual energy within her surged like a galloping sea, suddenly increasing several times. In the blink of an eye after closing and opening her eyes again, her already azure eyes seemed to emit a misty blue light, instantly washing away much of Mu QingYue's sword radiance.

    With her left hand, she also used the sword finger to touch the sword body, before delivering a strike.

    Driving her Essence Body of Unblemished Heavenly Power, ZongNanZhi achieved mind-body unity, washing away much of Mu QingYue's sword radiance. She unleashed a sword qi from Zhenming that was several times more powerful than before, illuminating like a trumpet breaking through the sky.

    Breeze Reflecting on the Moon - Refining the Mind!

    The cold and sharp sword qi arrived like the forest, Mu QingYue naturally felt the edge of this sword on her mind and body.

    "The auntie took advantage of my junior brother, and I don't have this much animosity. This woman has only been with my junior brother for over a year, why does she have so much animosity?"

    While pondering, Mu QingYue swung a sword, though it was without any flair, but the ice and snow phenomenon followed the blade rolling out.

    At the crossroads of the two swords, Mu QingYue's figure soared and moved like a white crane soaring.

    ZongNanZhi, who stopped in place, tilted her head at a 45-degree angle and glanced at Mu QingYue for the first time, offering a smile: an ill appearance with her dark eyes filled with faint light.

    "Mu Jianxian, why do you want to hide?"

    ZongNanZhi slowly turned around, pointing her sword tip towards Mu QingYue's direction, while her hand holding the sword handle had a thin stream of blood that flowed over it. But she paid no attention to it.

    In her line of sight, a silver-white lock of hair in the air was shattered by the sword qi.

    At this moment, around ZongNanZhi, there were only her released path of forgetting emotions and the fierce sword qi.

    The sky was filled with the roar of boiling water as the flowing clouds rushed by, ZongNanZhi, with a stern expression, looked at Mu QingYue, who had been silent, and was about to draw her sword again——

    "Nantie, enough."

    Ignoring the voice of her master, ZongNanZhi——

    "Alas, Nantie, do you want your 'husband', Lu, to see this side of you?"
