Chapter 1169: Chapter 1169: Middle-aged Woman

Primordial Chaos of Universe, the multicolored earth and heaven.

In the eight realms of the Martial Dao in the True Martial Realm, the Yellow Level is the weakest, and the Universe Level is the strongest.

A first-grade Sect, possessing over a dozen Universe Level Experts, has always been regarded as the strongest sect in the True Martial Realm.

However, for the martial artists of Tiansheng Continent, the first-grade Sects that are located beyond the vast ocean borders of Shenwu Continent are merely legendary existences. Second-grade Sects like Swiftwind Valley are practically defenseless in the eyes of the first-grade Sects.

Therefore, when the higher-ups in Swiftwind Valley learned that Valley Master Feng Lingtian’s sister was actually a Direct Disciple from a first-grade Sect of Shenwu Continent, they all rubbed their hands with eager anticipation, itching for a fight. They waited only for the Valley Master’s sister to arrive at Swiftwind Valley to destroy Green Bamboo Stronghold and Falcon Mountain, thus fulfilling Swiftwind Valley’s ambition of supremacy.

"Catch that Fang Bai, and I must crush his bones to dust, to avenge our Swiftwind Valley disciples and wash away our hatred!"

Feng Lingtian’s eyes emitted a fierce glint, as he clenched his fists and spoke with hatred.

Afterwards, Feng Lingtian issued a pre-battle mobilization order to all Swiftwind Valley disciples. Over ten thousand disciples began to enter seclusion to cultivate in earnest, nourishing their vigor and biding their energy in attempts to bring their Essence Energy, Qi, and Spirit to optimal condition. Then they would only wait for the Valley Master’s command to strike towards Green Bamboo Stronghold and Falcon Mountain.

The news that Swiftwind Valley was seeking the assistance of a mysterious expert to annihilate Green Bamboo Stronghold and Falcon Mountain somehow leaked by some disciple and, within a few days, reached Falcon Mountain. Ying Feiyang, the leader of Falcon Mountain, was alarmed and hastened personally to Green Bamboo Stronghold to discuss an alliance with Gu Li. Yet, he was informed by the disciples that their Stronghold Chief and all the higher-ups had left on business and had not yet returned.

Ying Feiyang was left with no choice but to hurriedly return to Falcon Mountain and summon all the disciples to actively prepare for war, in defense against a possible invasion from Swiftwind Valley.

One evening, groups of martial artists dressed in green shirts gathered from all directions to a primal forest a hundred Bailis from Swiftwind Valley. By the time midnight came, the vicinity spanning several Bailis was already thronged with thousands of martial artists.

These were the elite disciples from Green Bamboo Stronghold, who concealed their identities and hastened on their way. Finally, without the Swiftwind Valley disciples being any the wiser, they reached the vicinity of Swiftwind Valley.

After midnight, the weather suddenly changed. Vast clouds surged, and the night grew even darker. It was so dark ordinary people couldn’t see their own hands in front of their faces. However, to these elite disciples from Green Bamboo Stronghold, it made no difference. Their vision was strong enough to clearly see everything within a few dozen meters.

To prevent being discovered by Swiftwind Valley disciples, the thousands of Green Bamboo Stronghold disciples gathered in the forest held their breaths and refrained from speaking loudly.

Suddenly, the thousands of Green Bamboo Stronghold disciples stirred, as Stronghold Chief Gu Li and all the higher-ups had arrived.

Fang Bai, along with Su Linglong, Zhuge Lian, Linghu Qianjiao, and Hu Baimei were among them.

Originally, Fang Bai wanted Su Linglong and the other three ladies to stay at Green Bamboo Stronghold, however, the four ladies insisted on accompanying Fang Bai. They argued that such a rare opportunity for real combat was greatly beneficial to their cultivation and should not be missed. So, Fang Bai no longer objected.

"Everyone, sit down where you are and adjust your breathing. In two hours, we will launch a surprise attack on Swiftwind Valley! We will not return until Swiftwind Valley is leveled!"

Gu Li’s voice clearly reached every Green Bamboo Stronghold disciple’s ears.

The thousands of Green Bamboo Hold disciples immediately sat down and entered their Cultivation State, recovering the Essence Energy they had expended on the way here.

In the midst of the forest, peace reigned, and only occasionally could one hear the cries of Spirit Beasts in the depths of the forest.

Halfway through two hours, Fang Bai, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a look of surprise in his gaze as he looked towards the mountain road outside the forest.

"Elder Fang, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Fang Bai’s expression looking somewhat off, Gu Li couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.

"Someone is passing by, and they seem to have discovered our tracks!"

Fang Bai raised his hand, pointing towards the mountain path outside, while his Divine Sense spread out, "seeing" a middle-aged woman walking towards their gathering place.

That middle-aged woman was still more than two thousand meters away from Fang Bai and the others; hence, only Fang Bai, by relying on his Divine Sense, could detect her beyond the line of sight. Although Gu Li and the others were powerful, they did not have the aid of Divine Sense and therefore could not sense the subtleties beyond a kilometer away.

The middle-aged woman seemed to be around forty years old, with willow-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and had a graceful figure with an extraordinary demeanor, wearing the garb of a Sect Disciple.

Fang Bai had been in Tiansheng Continent for a while and had some understanding of its major Sects, but after racking his brains, he couldn’t figure out which Sect the middle-aged woman’s clothing belonged to.

However, Fang Bai could deduce from the essence energy and blood within the middle-aged woman’s body that her real age was probably not far from a hundred years old, only appearing much younger on the surface due to her profound cultivation level.

"Could she actually be a Cosmic Level Expert who has achieved perfection? Perhaps she is the Sect Master of some second-rank Sect? No, that’s not right. In Tiansheng Continent, only Swiftwind Valley, Green Bamboo Stronghold, and Falcon Mountain are the three major second-rank Sects, and the Sect Leaders of Swiftwind Valley and Falcon Mountain are all old men with white hair. So, could this woman be a disciple from a major Sect outside of this domain?"

Fang Bai frowned slightly, unable to figure out the other party’s origins. After thinking it over, he sent a meaningful glance at Gu Li, then used his movement technique to meet the middle-aged woman.

After he entered the kilometer range that the middle-aged woman could sense, she furrowed her brows, came to a halt, and focused her gaze coldly and indifferently towards Fang Bai.

The distance between the two sides quickly closed to within visible range. When the middle-aged woman saw Fang Bai’s appearance and cultivation level, she was evidently highly surprised.

A Vast Level Expert in his early twenties, just one step away from advancing to the Cosmic Level, would also count as a rare Martial Dao Genius within their Universe Level Sect, Tianji Sect. It was just unfortunate that he wasn’t born with an Innate Spiritual Root; otherwise, his prospects on the Martial Dao would be boundless indeed.

"Who are you? What brings you here?"

The middle-aged woman spoke indifferently, with a tone filled with arrogance and disdain.

Fang Bai smiled lightly, responding nonchalantly, "My name is Fang Bai, currently an Elder of Tribute at Green Bamboo Stronghold."

"Green Bamboo Stronghold? The same Green Bamboo Stronghold that stands alongside Swiftwind Valley and Falcon Mountain?"

The middle-aged woman suddenly remembered that her brother at Swiftwind Valley had exchanged letters with her before. In their correspondence, her brother had often mentioned Green Bamboo Stronghold and Falcon Mountain, revealing his desire to annihilate the two second-rank Sects.

This time, as the middle-aged woman and several fellow disciples traveled to Tiansheng Continent and passed through Weixiang Nation, she was able to get in touch with her brother, who served as the Valley Master of Swiftwind Valley. Today, she finally seized an opportunity to visit her brother at Swiftwind Valley.

"This young man before me, since he is an Elder of Tribute at Green Bamboo Stronghold, then he is one of the enemies standing opposite my brother!"

With that thought, a strong intent to kill arose in the middle-aged woman’s heart, and she started walking step by step towards Fang Bai.

The pressure released by a Cosmic Level Expert was tremendously powerful. The middle-aged woman thought Fang Bai would struggle under her pressure, turning pale with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, shaking in fear. However, to her surprise, he stood there leisurely, looking at her as if seeing an idiot, as if her pressure was nothing more than a joke to him.
