Chapter 25 – Heart Sword
"Master, save us!"
Behind Daoist Xuan Ai, thousands of disciples cried out in unison, their voices filled with heart-wrenching sorrow, deeply moving.
Daoist Qing Yu couldn't tell if it was Daoist Xuan Ai who had momentarily released her control, or if she had manipulated the disciples to cry out like this.
"What do you want, the position of the Master? You can have it, I can give you anything, just spare these disciples!" Daoist Qing Yu gritted her teeth and said, forced to bow her head to Daoist Xuan Ai under the pressing circumstances.
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, a result of her anger.
Daoist Xuan Ai sent Daoist Qing Yu flying with a palm strike, disdainfully saying, "The position of the Master? I once desired it, but now, I just want to stay by the side of the Ancestor of the World of Mortals Pure Land."
"Jiang Peoples Emperor might have already noticed the anomaly. I need to control the Sect Protection Formation to block Jiang Peoples Emperor and my niece, Goddess Jing Xin. So, hand over the core of the formation obediently."
……
"Jiang Peoples Emperor, Goddess Jing Xin, you're too late." Daoist Xuan Ai stepped on Daoist Qing Yu, her face full of mockery.
The Sect Protection Formation opened, enveloping the entire World of Mortals Pure Land like a bubble. It seemed fragile, but it was incredibly sturdy. The World of Mortals Pure Land, known for its mystery and beauty, had been established for tens of thousands of years. Many had tried to pry into its beauty and it had faced numerous crises, but all were stopped by the Sect Protection Formation. No one had ever been able to break it.
Daoist Xuan Ai was not worried at all that Jiang Li could break the Sect Protection Formation. This was a formation brought by the Ancestor of the World of Mortals Pure Land from the Immortal Realm. Even if an ordinary immortal attacked with all their might, the formation would not even tremble.
She didn't believe that Jiang Li could break it! Jiang Li was just a Mahayana practitioner with a mortal body, not some supreme being from the Immortal Realm. How could he compare to the Immortal Realm's formation!@@novelbin@@
Although Goddess Jing Xin often made decisions overstepping her authority, seeing her master being humiliated like this, her eyes turned red and she attacked the Sect Protection Formation.
The peerless green lotus spun and bloomed in the void, causing ripples in space. It seemed that space could not bear the weight of the green lotus. Goddess Jing Xin pointed forward, and the peerless green lotus fiercely collided with the formation, causing space to shatter.
Seeing that the Sect Protection Formation was unharmed, dozens more green lotuses bloomed in the void, all colliding with the formation.
The intense explosion flattened the nearby area, but the Sect Protection Formation remained unaffected.
Jiang Li stepped forward and patted the panting Goddess Jing Xin.
"My turn."
These simple words revealed Jiang Li's confidence.
Daoist Xuan Ai seemed to have heard a hilarious joke and laughed loudly, "Jiang Peoples Emperor, I respect your contributions to Jiuzhou, and I don't want to insult you. Step back, or your invincible myth will be broken today!"
Jiang Li ignored her and shouted to Daoist Qing Yu, who was being stepped on, "Master Qing Yu, I'll save your life today. Don't hold a grudge against me anymore, let's call it even, okay?"
Before Daoist Qing Yu could respond with an "okay", Jiang Li swung his fist down, and the Sect Protection Formation, which had been undamaged for ten thousand years, cracked and shattered like a mirror.

Daoist Xuan Ai was dumbfounded, a great fear rising in her heart. Seeing Jiang Li and Goddess Jing Xin slowly approaching her, she quickly pointed at the thousand disciples and shouted in a panic, "Don't move, these disciples have all been implanted with mind control bugs by me. With just a thought, they will commit suicide. Can you move faster than my thought?!"
Jiang Li indeed stopped moving forward, quietly looking at her, and slowly said, "Indeed, I'm not sure if I can be faster than a thought."
Daoist Xuan Ai breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that her life was temporarily safe, and she couldn't help but want to mock.
Whether it was the arrogant Daoist Qing Yu or the arrogant Jiang Peoples Emperor, weren't they all obediently listening to her because they were concerned about the lives of a group of disciples at the Golden Elixir, Elemental Infant, and Divine Transformation stages?
In Daoist Xuan Ai's view, this was very funny.
Daoist Qing Yu and Jiang Peoples Emperor were just strong in cultivation, they couldn't abandon others, their mentality wasn't strong enough, they weren't truly strong. Only those like her, who were ruthless, self-centered, and high in cultivation, were truly strong!
She believed that one day she would surpass Jiang Li and rule the world!
"My demands are not many, let me leave with the Ancestor of the World of Mortals Pure Land, and you all have to swear to the heavens……"
"……But why do I need to be faster than a thought?"
Jiang Li took out a sword from his storage ring. Seeing the situation was not good, Daoist Xuan Ai quickly ordered some disciples to commit suicide to deter Jiang Li.
Jiang Li swung his sword, and without even slashing out any sword qi, the bugs inside the bodies of the thousands of disciples were cut in half and died!
The disciples who were about to commit suicide instantly broke free from the control and stopped committing suicide!
"My swordsmanship is dull, I only know this one move." Jiang Li continued to approach Daoist Xuan Ai, who was so scared that she fell on her butt, unable to stand up, her legs desperately pushing herself backward.
"This move is called Heart Sword. It rises in the mind and falls in the sea of consciousness. Between this rise and fall, sword qi is formed inside the body."
"This move was originally used to sever a person's meridians and pick out their flesh, but it seems that it is also very suitable for killing bugs and saving people."
"Wait, I still have……" Seeing Jiang Li raise his sword, which was shining with a cold light in the moonlight, Daoist Xuan Ai was so scared that her soul was about to leave her body. She quickly wanted to explain her value to Jiang Li.
However, Jiang Li didn't even listen, he swung his sword down, and her head flew high into the air. Daoist Xuan Ai died with her eyes wide open.
"To kill you, I don't need any swordsmanship."
With this ordinary swing, which couldn't even be considered a technique, everything was settled.
Jiang Li originally wanted Goddess Jing Xin to handle this matter herself, but it was beyond her ability to handle alone, so he had to do it himself.
"Thank you, Jiang Peoples Emperor, for helping the World of Mortals Pure Land through this disaster. I, Jing Xin, have nothing to repay you with, so I can only offer myself."
"……"
Seeing that Goddess Jing Xin could still joke, Jiang Li figured that her Dao heart was unharmed. He didn't pick up her words, but walked over to Daoist Qing Yu.
"Being schemed against to the point where your entire sect almost became a pleasure sect, you guys from the World of Mortals Pure Land should be more careful. I will keep this matter a secret for you, it won't be spread."
Daoist Qing Yu sincerely knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Jiang Li. Just as Jiang Li had said before saving her, the past grudges were wiped clean. She no longer saw Jiang Peoples Emperor as the enemy who killed her former lover, but as the savior of the World of Mortals Pure Land.
Without Jiang Li, their World of Mortals Pure Land would have become a laughingstock, and she, Qing Yu, would have been nailed to the pillar of shame in the World of Mortals Pure Land."The actions of Jiang Peoples Emperor tonight will forever be etched in the heart of the World of Mortals Pure Land."
……
"…Jiang Brother, am I going to die?" In the town of Xiahe, Du Xiner's eyes were scattered, she could no longer see clearly who was coming, she only sensed that it was Jiang Li.
In fact, not only Jiang Li had come, but also Goddess Jing Xin. However, she deliberately hid her aura, she dared not face this innocent junior sister.
As the master of the Gu worms, Daoist Xuan Ai died, and the Gu worms also died one after another. At this time, the entire towns of Shanghe and Xiahe were littered with corpses, and the air was filled with the stench of death. Du Xiner was a Golden Elixir cultivator in her lifetime, so she could hold on for a while longer, but not much longer.
Jiang Li spoke to Du Xiner in a low voice, recounting everything, while Goddess Jing Xin hid on the side, silently wiping away her tears.
"Is that so, I've been dead for a while, no wonder I couldn't cultivate…"
Du Xiner laughed, but even she didn't understand why she was laughing.
"Didn't Senior Sister Jing Xin come? I seem to want to see her…"
Upon hearing this, Goddess Jing Xin no longer hid her aura and immediately rushed over, holding Du Xiner's cold little hand: "Junior Sister Xiner, Senior Sister is here, Senior Sister is here!"
But Du Xiner was indifferent, her head softly leaning to one side.
She was dead.
