My Virtual Immortal Girlfriend Came to Life from a Mobile Game

"What's this? You want to duel with me?" Yun Zimo raised an eyebrow, sneering, "I'm not the Fourth Brother. I won't suppress my cultivation level. To deal with an arrogant person like you who bullies fellow disciples, I wouldn't feel ashamed even if I crush you with my superior realm!"

Yun Zimo was also at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, but he had more valuable items than Zhang Hanxiao. Zhang Hanxiao would spend his Spirit Stones as soon as he earned them, while Yun Zimo saved his. Plus, he had some skills in crafting and formations, making him a tough opponent for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Third Senior Brother, are you afraid?" Li Qingran stared steadily at Yun Zimo.

"Don't try to provoke me; I won't fall for it." He took out a Flying Sword from his storage bag, his gaze landing on the Su Xian Sword, and continued, "Your sword is impressive, but I won't suffer a loss due to weapons like the Fourth Brother did. I have plenty of Flying Swords!"

Li Qingran didn't respond, instead, she bowed to Sect Master Wu Duantian and said loudly, "Sect Master Wu, the Azure Cloud Sect upholds the principle that 'only goodness cannot be slandered, only evil cannot be tolerated.' Slandering others and conspiring against fellow disciples is a grave offense. Is there such a matter?"

Wu Duantian, his mind filled with thoughts of pills to repair his Dantian, was taken aback by Li Qingran's sudden question and took a moment to respond, "There is indeed such a matter."

"Li Qingran, what are you trying to say? I have never slandered you!" A flicker of barely noticeable panic flashed in Yun Zimo's eyes.

But he thought he had handled the matter cleanly, and as long as he denied it, there would be no issue.

What evidence could Li Qingran possibly have?

Li Qingran glanced at Yun Zimo and continued to ask Wu Duantian, "What is the punishment for such a crime?"

Wu Duantian squinted, stroked his beard, and said, "For slander and defamation, if the circumstances are minor, a verbal warning from the Enforcement Hall is given. If repeated, the offender is sent to Reflection Cliff; for collusion and harming fellow disciples, if the circumstances are extremely severe and proven true, the punishment is to have the tongue pulled out, eyes gouged, and molten iron poured into the ears, with no treatment allowed for a month as a deterrent!"

For cultivators, having the tongue pulled out, eyes gouged, and molten iron poured into the ears is not an irreversible injury, but the pain is no less. Plus, being unable to hear, speak, or see for a month, spending every day in darkness and silence, is nothing short of extreme punishment.

Hearing this, Li Qingran bowed again, "Yun Zimo, the third personal disciple of Crimson Sky Peak, colluded with an Outer Sect Elder to slander and persecute fellow disciples. As a prestigious sect, Azure Cloud Sect surely won't turn a blind eye to such matters, right?"

Upon hearing this, many present changed their expressions. Although Li Qingran didn't explicitly state it, everyone knew what she was implying.

Yun Zimo appeared furious on the surface, but his clenched fists betrayed his inner tension. Outer Sect Elder Wang Chuanhe glared at Li Qingran with a vicious look, wishing he could tear her apart, while a few Outer Disciples averted their eyes and instinctively hid behind others.

"You scoundrel, you actually did such a thing?!" Daoist Qingxuan slammed the table, drew his sword, and pointed it at Yun Zimo, his eyes wide with anger, his black and white hair blown by the oppressive aura around him, resembling a lion with its mane standing on end.

【Tsk, I told you to sit down!】

In the void, the spiritual sense swept over again, carrying an undeniable authority.

Daoist Qingxuan gritted his teeth, took three deep breaths, and finally sheathed his sword.

Since this mysterious cultivator helped Li Qingran restore her Dantian, he must be the one who refined the Divine Pill back then. Such an existence is at least at the level of Integration and above, someone he cannot afford to provoke, nor can all the elders present, unless the Azure Cloud Ancestor comes out...

But the Azure Cloud Ancestor is in seclusion to break through a bottleneck, and disturbing him is not advisable.

Endure it.

Daoist Qingxuan tried his best to calm the anger in his heart.

Wu Duantian's expression turned serious. As the saying goes, if the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate. If Li Qingran hadn't spoken up, he would never have known about this matter. But since she did, the situation became serious.

Under normal circumstances, out of respect for Daoist Qingxuan, he would choose to mediate or settle it privately.

But today, Li Qingran had someone backing her, someone whose exact location had yet to be found.

Could he afford to muddle through this?

Besides, this matter was essentially a headache for Crimson Sky Peak and Daoist Qingxuan.

Daoist Qingxuan usually didn't regard him, the Sect Master, with much respect.

Today was a good opportunity to give Daoist Qingxuan a bit of a hard time and also to show goodwill to the person behind Li Qingran.

He was still hoping to help his first personal disciple Zhao Lingtian restore his Dantian!

"Yun Zimo, is what Li Qingran said true?" Wu Duantian coldly stared at Yun Zimo, his Divine Transformation stage aura locking onto him.

Under that hook-like gaze, Yun Zimo felt a chill down his spine. He knew the consequences if this matter blew up, but he stubbornly insisted, "I ask the Sect Master to see clearly, I have never done such a thing, this is Li Qingran slandering me!"

Wu Duantian, seeing Yun Zimo's bravado, already had a good idea of the situation, so he turned to Li Qingran, "As the Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect, if you were expelled from the sect because of this, I would certainly seek justice for you, but everything requires evidence. Do you have any concrete proof?"

Justice?

Li Qingran found it laughable.

Was the justice Wu Duantian spoke of for her? No, it was for the senior behind her.

Without the senior's protection, she wouldn't get anything today.

"Of course, I have evidence. At the time, I had already been expelled from the sect. Before packing my things to leave, I found one of the involved disciples and offered him a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones to reveal the mastermind. He thought I would soon no longer be part of Azure Cloud Sect, and with the temptation of Spirit Stones, he told me everything. That disciple also made me swear not to reveal this matter, otherwise..."

Li Qingran's eyes sharpened as she looked directly at Wu Duantian and the people of Crimson Sky Peak.

In fact, she could have exposed Yun Zimo before being expelled. But at that time, she still harbored a sliver of hope, hoping for camaraderie among fellow disciples, hoping for a day when she could return to Crimson Sky Peak and reconcile with everyone. It wasn't until Zhang Hanxiao threw her into a broken thatched hut that she realized—the people of Crimson Sky Peak were no longer worth her expectations.

【Senior, Qingran will not disappoint you!】

Her eyes darkened slightly, and she muttered in her heart.

The past pain poured out with each word: "...otherwise, I would suffer the agony of a thousand swords piercing my heart!"

As soon as the words fell,

Swish—! An illusory sword pierced through her body from behind.

Li Qingran's face turned ashen, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, dripping onto the ground.

Her trembling hand rose, passing through the illusory long sword to clutch her chest, her body swaying, barely standing with the support of her sword.

Swish, swish, swish—!

More swords fell from the void, piercing her body.

The intense pain felt like countless insects gnawing at her nerves.@@novelbin@@

"Ugh..."

Blood gushed from her mouth, flowing from her seven orifices, leaving shocking marks on the ground.

Yet she didn't utter a single sound.

The plaza in front of Azure Cloud Sect's main hall fell into silence.

Everyone watched this scene in shock, their hearts trembling.

In less than two breaths, Li Qingran's body was already pierced with countless illusory and real swords, turning her into a living pincushion! It seemed the weight of these swords was pressing down on her, her long black hair falling to the ground, mixing with the blood, and she could only support her frail body by kneeling on one knee.

Profound Daoist scriptures swirled around the swords.
