Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect
Chapter 150 - 149 Junior Sister

Chapter 150: Chapter 149 Junior Sister

This divination seems way too outlandish. Tie Dan was suspicious and tried several more times, but couldn’t tell if it was his lack of calculation skills or the fact that the reincarnation of the Holy Daughter, Zhen Baiyu, had unpredictable fate.

He tossed the coins, threw the cups, and spread the grass, but still couldn’t figure out Baiyu’s location. Feeling frustrated, he suddenly sensed a wave of demon Qi rapidly approaching the Nie Family Castle.

Damn it, no wonder I couldn’t calculate! It’s those demons causing trouble again!

Tie Dan hardened his face, stood up abruptly, and headed out with his sword. In the distance, he saw a streak of demon wind sweeping the sky, unmistakably a Great Demon at the Nascent Soul Stage.

In no time, as the demon wind drew closer, he focused his Divine Sense and eyesight, seeing a demon wrapped in the clouds. It appeared raccoon-like, as large as a tiger, with a single eye and three tails. Lightning spewed from its solitary eye, and when it raged, the winds howled like a hundred beasts. The three tails carried the three qi of Xuanming, Purple Mist, and Returning Dust for protection, appearing extremely fierce.

Tie Dan was already annoyed, and this creature was causing a ruckus here too. Without a word, he used the Ice River Escape, charging head-on into the clouds.

The demon was also taken aback, never expecting someone to charge at it for a fight. However, it reacted swiftly, confronting Tie Dan. The single eye glared at him, letting out a roar to shake his mind, while its icy tail swept across. It harnessed the qi of Xuanming for protection, while two tails unleashed a strike filled with purple and blue Demon Qi. Indeed, it was a formidable and vicious beast with some skills!

However, Tie Dan had achieved great success in his Divine Skill, wielding a solid weapon with his skills fully realized, why would he fear such a creature?

As soon as the Blood God’s Son at his brow flickered, not only did it block the Primordial Spirit attack, but it also instantly countered with a stream of Divine Light, injuring the demon’s single eye, causing it to squint in pain.

At the same instant, he twisted his escape technique, dragging a streak of icy clouds in mid-air. As the colorful Demon Qi struck, the ice river shattered with a burst, sweeping up a storm of ice and snow.

And within that swirling ice and dust, Tie Dan flashed out, his Morning Ceremony Cold Light Blade in hand! He slashed with a single strike!

"Shing!"

Just one slash! The demon beast was decapitated and slain!

"Bang!"

The raccoon demon fell onto the street!

Dead!

Alright, this raccoon demon certainly met a miserable fate. It had quite a few setups, including Qi Refining and Primordial Spirit attacks, and wasn’t actually weak. But unfortunately, it encountered Tie Dan after emerging from the mountain, resulting in this fatal disaster.

Tie Dan had killed many demons, and this level wasn’t worth mentioning. He lifted his sword to take a look.

The blade sliced smoothly through its neck, split hairs with a breeze, and did not get stained with a drop of blood!

What an excellent sword indeed!

It’s just a pity this sword was forged by the Xiao Family using the Demon Palace Forging Technique; its material was pure and tough but lacked intelligence, as it didn’t have an accompanying Artifact Spirit. Naturally, it couldn’t be rated, but given the chance in the future, it could be reforged with the Xuan Nu Talisman engraved on it, and perhaps its shape altered. It could certainly become a fine sword!

Now, Tie Dan’s inner restlessness was slightly alleviated. He swung the sword a couple of times, and in a flash of blade light, he severed the raccoon demon’s head and tail, cut open its abdomen to retrieve an elixir... uh, he actually pulled out a person...

Well, it was probably someone the raccoon demon had just eaten, a Golden Core Cultivator who hadn’t been digested in both halves yet.

However, Tie Dan scrutinized him closely and suddenly felt the person looked somewhat familiar.

Not only because this person was also wearing the Snow Leopard Skin of the Snow Mountain Palace, but also that face seemed...

Lord Xiao stepped forward, using his delicate fingers to move the cockroach braid aside for a look,

"It’s that grand Senior Brother."

So it’s him.

Tie Dan turned the corpse over to inspect. The cause of death was naturally a severed neck and spine, crushed to death upon being swallowed whole.

However, there was also a knife wound on his leg, severing the heel tendon. Clearly, he was attacked from behind, subjected to a treacherous plot, resulting in his death.

Ha, truly ruthless and merciless...

There’s not much more to say about things like this. In this world, you can never be too cautious, for you can know a person but not their heart.

Some might genuinely want to become your companion, while others may simply want to use you as a tool, and even more might just take shelter behind you in a calamity.

If one gets too engrossed in trifles, it’s only a matter of time before you meet your end.

This place isn’t safe. Tie Dan didn’t waste any time. He tidied up and headed back to the Flying Boat, planning to depart immediately to see if he could catch up with the Nie Family.

Unexpectedly, when he returned, he found that Xiao Baoqin had lifted the Protective Array and set up a banquet.

"Benefactor, see who has come."

Who?

Then a female figure donned in a Snow Leopard Cloak at the banquet removed her hood, blinking her bright eyes, revealing a delicate, charming, and pretty face, gazing curiously at Tie Dan,

"Senior Brother Liu?"

Tie Dan squinted his eyes.

This person...

Lord Xiao leaned in,

"It’s the Junior Sister..."

I know.

Tie Dan adjusted his grip on the sword, made a slight bow.

Lord Xiao gave him a side eye, "Cheng Xiaozhu."

Tie Dan said, "Junior Sister Cheng, long time no see."

Cheng Xiaozhu looked curiously at Tie Dan,

"Senior Brother Liu... did you come all the way to pick snow lotus for me?"

Tie Dan, "..."

Xiao Baoqin glanced between them, laughed softly,

"What’s with this? You’ve reunited after a long time, why so distant?"

At this point, Tie Dan noticed that Shi Gui had also dressed like a maid, sneaking looks from inside the cabin. After a brief silence, he suddenly spoke while stepping towards Cheng Xiaozhu,

"Yes, indeed, I, Liu, journeyed arduously to win Junior Sister Cheng’s favor, but how come Junior Sister is here alone, without the Second Senior Brother with you? Could it be you were exploring the secret realm of the demon nest?"

Cheng Xiaozhu blinked, suddenly pursed her lips, and burst into tears, flinging her cloak to the side. She took a graceful leap towards Tie Dan,

"Brother Liu! Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Xu was killed by the Demon Sect’s demon path!"

Lord Xiao reminded,

"Senior Brother Xu is the grand grand that one."

While Tie Dan immediately noticed, this Junior Sister seemed to cover her face and weep, but her steps were meticulously maintained.

First, the right foot in front, then the left in the back, then forward with the right, and the left backstep aligning with the right, resembling a T-shape that symbolized the union of Yin and Yang, clearly using a stepping method, a three-step treading pattern towards the Heavenly Heart. One hand reached towards her Storage Jade at her waist, clearly about to make a move.

"What! Grand Senior Brother killed by the Demon Sect?!"

Tie Dan’s voice boomed with anger, echoing through the forest, halting the Junior Sister’s cries and skipping the heartbeat of those present.

Taking the opportunity, he dashed forward with a nimble step, moving against the Heavenly Pillar, foot treading Wenqu, he turned sideways and quickly positioned himself right in front of Cheng Xiaozhu. He grabbed her meridian with his right hand, freezing her Qi flow, while his left hand raised the blade slanting towards her face, the cold blade gliding towards her neck.

However, Cheng Xiaozhu remained calm, raising her hand to take an item from her Storage Jade, blocking the razor-sharp blade, forcibly halting Tie Dan’s strike. She then stuffed that item into his hand and lay in his arms, crying loudly,

"Brother Liu! Boohoo! Grand Senior Brother! Second Senior Brother! They were all killed by the Demon Sect! Boohoo! You must avenge Snow Mountain Palace!"

Tie Dan felt the item in his hand, looking at the girl sobbing in his arms, and that blade ultimately did not fall. He simply said coldly,

"... Junior Sister, rest assured, since you ask me, whoever killed the two Senior Brothers, I will surely get revenge."

Cheng Xiaozhu leaned against Tie Dan’s chest,

"Brother Liu, with you by my side, Xiaozhu feels at ease."

"Hmph!"

Shi Gui, seeing them so intimately entwined and comparing the grouchy expression Liu had given her, was infuriated. She coldly delivered the dishes,

"Miss! Dinner’s ready!"

Xiao Baoqin clapped her hands, smiling widely,

"Benefactor finally found the Junior Sister, what a joyous occasion, why not have a drink to welcome her?"

Cheng Xiaozhu whimpered,

"Boohoo, thank you, sister, for your hospitality, I still don’t know how to address you..."

Tie Dan released her and pushed her away,

"This place is not safe for a long stay, you all eat and drink, I’ll go start the ship."

Then he turned and left, entering the cabin, Shi Gui sarcastically mocked,

"I wonder just how amazing your sweetheart is, looking at your Junior Sister, she’s just so-so. Not even as pretty as my family’s maid!

Hey, let alone she’s been tangled up with some Grand Senior and Second Senior Brother. Is such a character worthy of your admiration? Hmph!"

But Tie Dan ignored her, as he entered the aft cabin, taking a good look at the item in his hand.

It was indeed a Soldier Repelling Coin.

Though the coin had a nick from blocking a blade, the nine Seal characters engraved on it were still clear.

’Nine Heavens Profound Lady Saint Mother Great Prime Sovereign’

To be honest, it’s not easy to remember all the Taoist names of the nine major sects unless you are a disciple of the sect. But by coincidence, this particular lineage was one that Tie Dan had knowledge of...

Lord Xiao leaned over,

"Oh? From Wangwu Mountain? Could it be she’s from..."

Yes, the Qingtang Sect, maybe even Tang Tong’s pen pal.

Indeed, a real Junior Sister...
