I flew on a sword at the magic academy

"Can we capture her?" Liu Mang asked. They had already fought to this point, and it would be truly unacceptable if they couldn't suppress Chu Xuan.

Leopard Head frowned and said, "I'm afraid not. Although it's just a replica of the Mountain and River Map, it's simply unrealistic for us to break through the laws of the world within the painting and get her out."

Nangong Ren nodded: "I've heard a rumor that an elder of the Qingyu Holy Land once encountered a calamity, but she escaped it by relying on the Mountain and River Map. As long as she doesn't make a move, no one can do anything to her."

"Judging from the current situation, she is no different from being suppressed. As long as you keep this painting with you and guard it closely, she basically has no chance of escaping," Jiang Yue said.

Liu Mang, however, did not think so, saying, "If the people of Qingyu Holy Land find out about carrying this on my person, it will be a huge problem. Moreover, I think she must have a backup plan. If she ambushes me one day, I won't even know how I died."

His words were not without reason. After all, she was a holy maiden from a sacred Xuanmen sect. It was impossible for her not to have a backup plan. She might be ambushed one day if she wasn't careful.

"Saintess Chu Xuan, you'd better come out obediently. We just don't want the Qingyu Holy Land to get involved in our feud with Wuyang Mountain. As long as you stay under our noses, we guarantee we won't harm you, and we'll even treat you to the best food and wine."

"We've already told you everything. If you still don't appreciate it, we brothers might sell this replica of the 'Landscape Map'!"

"Or you could throw the painting into the Immortal Spirit Ancient Domain. Once there, no matter how strong your replica is, it probably won't be able to withstand the eerie power there, right?"

"I think I should hang the painting in my bedroom. Having a stunning beauty by my side day and night sounds pretty good."

The things Liu Mang and his friends said were increasingly sarcastic, so Sikong Qing quickly stepped forward and shooed them away, saying, "All of you, shut up a bit, don't embarrass my fiancée!"

"You bunch of bastards! Especially you, Sikong Qing! You lecherous scoundrel!" Chu Xuan's angry voice came from the landscape painting. She could hear the sounds from the outside world. Her mind was usually calm and undisturbed, but at this moment she was also provoked and somewhat angry.

"The person has been suppressed. Who should guard him? Let me make this clear first. City Lord Nangong personally helped me resolve all my grudges. Now I'm risking making enemies of Wuyang Mountain again to suppress Wu Lingxiao. You will have to guard this Holy Maiden of Qingyu Holy Land yourselves," Jiang Yue said bluntly.

Ultimately, Sikong Qing took the initiative to assume responsibility and decided to personally guard the "Map of Mountains and Rivers".

"This gives you two a chance to be alone. Do your best, young man," Jiang Yue said with a light laugh as she handed over the Mountain and River Map.

"Now that this matter is settled, I should leave." Jiang Yue decided to leave. These bandits were too noisy, and staying with them would only cause more trouble.

However, not long after parting ways with Sikong Qing and the other bandits, Jiang Yue learned some very bad news in an ancient city.

Shi Daohan is back!

"It hasn't even been three years yet, how could she be back so quickly?"

Jiang Yue felt uneasy. She didn't yet have the confidence to face her true self and wasn't very sure about the battle that would determine her fate.

On that very day, the people of Shushan used a secret method to track down the ancient city where she was located.

"You are... the Prince Xiang who was recently granted a royal title by the Great Xia Dynasty in Tai'an City? How could it be you?"

The group of powerful figures from Mount Shu who had come to hunt down Jiang Yue all showed surprise.

They came to retrieve Shi Daohan's spirit body, never expecting that the spirit body would be none other than the recently famous Qianhe and Xiangwang.

"Indeed, it is I, the King. May I ask what brings you here, fellow Daoist from Mount Shu?" Jiang Yue asked, feigning composure.

"You should know why we are here. As a spirit body, you have severed the connection between yourself and your main body. What do you want to do? Turn against your master?!" an elder sneered.

"Hurry back with us. Dao Han has already reached the pinnacle of the Void Realm. Once he merges with the Dao Fruit of your spiritual body, he will be able to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm," another elder scolded.

"What? She's already reached the Great Perfection of the Void Realm?" Jiang Yue was shocked. Even though she had considered that the main body's cultivation speed would be much faster than hers, she didn't expect it to be this fast. She was only at the mid-stage of the Void God Realm, while the main body had already reached the Great Perfection of the Void Realm.

"I am now a king of the Great Xia Dynasty, a high minister of the Nangong family, and I have also saved the life of the Nangong City Lord of Tai'an City. If you want to mess with me, you'd better think it through before you make a move!" Jiang Yue stared at these people and secretly constructed the array patterns of a teleportation array, wanting to directly cross the void and escape from here.

However, her idea was quickly exposed. An elder simply stepped out, and the array patterns she had created were instantly obliterated, and even the surrounding void was imprisoned.

"Your life was given to you by Dao Han. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be who you are today. What do you mean by this? Do you really want to devour your master?!" A senior elder from Shu Mountain said coldly.

"Why should my appearance be merely a stepping stone for her to attain the Great Dao? Why should I be the only one to transform into a Dao Fruit and be merged with by her, while she can't be the only one to transform into a Dao Fruit and be merged with by me?!" Jiang Yue roared angrily, unwilling to accept such a fate.

These days, she has been running around, doing everything possible to improve her strength and build her network, all in order to have the resources to contend with the main body of the body. But she never expected that this day would come so quickly and so suddenly.

"Why? Because Dao Han gave you your life!" an elder from Shu Mountain said expressionlessly.

Jiang Yue looked at him and said, "You are Elder Cangyun, right? I have memories of you. You are a good person. Do you also think that I should sacrifice myself to help Shi Daohan achieve her goals?"

"She did give me my life, but everything I've achieved is my own doing! Why should I sacrifice myself to make her who she is?!"

Jiang Yue questioned him almost screaming.

"We are of the same kind, our destinies are intertwined, I am also from Mount Shu, why do you choose to help her and not me? You have seen my achievements now, given enough time and resources, my achievements will definitely not be inferior to hers!"

"Insolence!" Elder Cangyun roared, "We cultivators differentiate our spiritual bodies to undergo tribulations in the mortal world, precisely to solidify our foundation. If everyone acted like you, wouldn't the world descend into chaos?"

"She gave you your life. If she hadn't shaped you, where would you be today? What makes you think it's unfair?" another elder said righteously.

"Looks like there's nothing more to talk about. You want to take me back to Mount Shu, is that it?"

Jiang Yue sneered a few times and threatened, "I not only have a Venerable Lord protecting me now, but I am also a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty and a high-ranking official of the Nangong family. Do you dare to touch me?"

"How naive. Once Dao Han merges with you, all the identities you have now will belong to her."

"Compared to a damaged spiritual body, I think Lord Nangong would be more willing to form a good relationship with a perfect innate Dao embryo."

"The Great Xia Dynasty and the Nangong family should also be willing to see a more powerful king and a high minister with unlimited future achievements."

Several elders from Mount Shu spoke up one after another, mocking Jiang Yue's naive idea.

"Then let's fight! I want to see what tricks you old fogies have up your sleeves to capture me!"

"boom!"

A monstrous divine light surged wildly from behind Jiang Yue, shooting upwards like a dazzling divine sword reaching the heavens, engulfing everything within a hundred miles.

Jiang Yue wanted to establish her authority and achieve a swift victory, so she immediately pushed the Wumu True Meaning to its limit. This was her strongest trump card and the source of her confidence to challenge the elders of the Shushan Council.

A streak of blood-red light swept across, and a blood-red gourd flew through the air, deflecting the dazzling sword light that had surged forth.

"Come back here!"

Jiang Yue let out a soft shout, extended a large handprint, and used the full power of the Martial Arts True Meaning to forcibly snatch the blood-red gourd. Then she sealed it, erasing the original owner's mark from inside the gourd.

"Thank you for the gift, senior. However, I have plenty of spiritual weapons of this rank in my manor."

Jiang Yue sneered. All the light disappeared, and the world returned to clarity. With a wave of her hand, Jiang Yue unleashed a sword aura as thick as a mountain, slicing the nearest Shu Mountain elder in two at the waist with a soft thud, and even annihilating his soul.

"A mid-stage Void Realm cultivator can become an elder; even the Xuanmen Holy Land is no better."

Jiang Yue said coldly, but everyone in the Shushan Council Hall was stunned.

Because Jiang Yue is only at the mid-stage of the Void God Realm, how could she possibly defeat an enemy of the same level?

What kind of skill is that? It's one thing to kill an enemy of the same realm in one move, but to be able to take away a spirit weapon of the King or Marquis rank so easily, just how terrifying is the combat power of this white-clad girl in front of us?

Jiang Yue was cold and ruthless, her whole body shrouded in sword energy, with a constant hissing sound. With each move she made, one bloody head after another rolled to the ground. They were all elite disciples of the younger generation of Shu Mountain. The ground was covered in blood, which was extremely pungent.

"Ah...no, don't kill me!"

Unfortunately, Jiang Yue remained unmoved. Today, she was determined to establish her authority and force Shushan to choose between her and her main body.

If Shushan still chooses to stand with Shi Daohan and take her back, then she will completely stand on the side of hostility towards Shushan. She will kill every Shushan person she sees without any psychological burden!

This was a massacre. No matter what spiritual weapons or magical artifacts the young elite disciples used, or what supernatural powers they employed, none of them could withstand a single blow from Jiang Yue, who was using the True Meaning of Martial Arts to its fullest extent.

She transformed into a streak of white light, charging through the crowd at breakneck speed, leaving behind only blood and corpses in her wake.

She herself remained unstained by blood, still possessing unparalleled beauty, and stepped over the corpses to reach the elders of the Shushan Council Hall.

"How dare you..." An elder pointed a trembling finger at Jiang Yue.

"What do you dare? Kill your people from Mount Shu? You were the ones who didn't give me a way out first, so why can't I kill you?" Jiang Yue replied coldly.

She raised her hand and activated the blood gourd she had just seized, sending it forward to suppress the enemy.

The elder who pointed at Jiang Yue immediately changed color. He was an elder after all, but he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when facing a King-level weapon being activated at full power, and dared not confront it head-on.

He turned and flew back immediately. Facing Jiang Yue, who looked to be only six or seven years old, he had a strange feeling, as if he were facing a demon who had come out of the deepest hell. The killing intent was not very strong, but it was extremely pure and made people wary.

"I know you have ways to suppress me, but if I risk my life, I can at least take you all down with me," Jiang Yue said, word by word, as she scanned the people in Shu Mountain who had become elders because of their advanced age.

"Heh... King Xiang is really quite imposing, daring to speak to the elders of the Shu Mountain Council like that." Someone whispered sinisterly in the shadows.

Clearly, the fact that the people of the Shushan Council had gone to such lengths to pursue Jiang Yue had attracted the attention of many forces, and after learning that Jiang Yue was merely a spirit body of Shushan Shi Daohan, they all began to secretly stir up trouble.

"A mere spirit body, yet it dares to defy fate and turn against its original form? What a ridiculous joke!"

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Yue scoffed and said, "You only dare to make your presence felt in the shadows."

She approached step by step, looking directly at Elder Cangyun, and said, "Go back and tell Shi Daohan that I will wait for her in the Desolate State. I had no choice in life, but I can choose in death. I will never accept my fate, and even in death, I will never become another's fruit of immortality!"

"Your Highness, aren't you incredibly ungrateful? Shi Daohan shaped you, gave you a physical body and a soul, and even provided you with the foundation to inherit her realm. If it weren't for her, how could you have reached this point today? Not only do you not think of being grateful and repaying her kindness, but you even dare to try to turn against your master. This is simply outrageous!" someone shouted righteously.

Someone chimed in, "Even a dog would be more obedient than you. If it weren't for Shi Daohan, you wouldn't exist. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a princely title. This isn't your Xiangwang Mansion, and the Great Xia Dynasty behind you has no jurisdiction here!"

"That cowardly fellow dares to point fingers here!"

Jiang Yue raised her hand and flicked it, and a purple light descended like a mountain range, casually knocking a person out of the void.

The man looked terrified, never expecting to be exposed in this way.

"No, no—!"

He only had time to let out such a shout before he exploded with a "poof," crushed into a cloud of blood mist under the overwhelming purple light that pressed down like a mountain range, leaving no trace of his body!

"Qianhe! Who do you think you are? You're just a mere feudal lord, how dare you commit such a heinous act in public?! Don't think that just because you have Lord Nangong protecting you, no one will dare to touch you!" Such a roar echoed from the void.

This person didn't hide; he walked out of the void and openly criticized Jiang Yue's faults.

Because Jiang Yue was all alone, yet she was still so assertive, many people felt resentful, thinking she was too arrogant.

"Yes, we were just bystanders. We were killed just for speaking a few fair words. Even if we are kings, we shouldn't kill people indiscriminately like this." Another person from a powerful force stepped out of the void and said with a sneer.
