Chapter 317: Arrogant Fairy Yunyao
Qinglan Sword Sect.
A delicate and pretty little girl, no more than twelve or thirteen years old, was led by the Elder in charge across the martial arts demonstration field, heading straight for the Sword Saint Hall.
The girl's eyes never left the swordsmen on the martial arts field, whose sword auras crisscrossed. Her expression was filled with a seriousness that did not match her age.
In no time at all, the two arrived at the Sword Saint Hall.
The Elder pushed the door open and entered, "Senior Brother, I've brought the person."
Inside the Sword Saint Hall, a giant sword over five meters long was enshrined. In front of the giant sword stood a tall and robust elder.
His hair and beard were all white, and just standing there, he gave off the impression of a sharp sword drawn from its sheath. A mere glance at him felt like it could pierce one's eyes. He was the current Qinglan Sword Saint.
The little girl entered the hall.
The Sword Saint raised his eyes, his gaze like lightning, sweeping over the girl. "Are you a celestial being from the heavens?"
"Yunyao, daughter of the Celestial Emperor, greets the Qinglan Sword Saint," the little girl said, looking at the Sword Saint without moving a muscle. "Qinglan Sword Saint, I have descended to the mortal realm on royal orders to eradicate the Heavenly Demons invading the human world and restore peace. I have come to the Qinglan Sword Sect to seek your assistance. In the future, when I return to the heavenly realm, I can request my father to grant you entry into the heavenly realm to cultivate the Heavenly Dao Sword."
The Elder's eye twitched involuntarily. If he hadn't verified that this little girl indeed possessed extraordinary recovery abilities similar to those described in legends of celestial beings and demons, he would never have brought this arrogant person into the sect.
"You claim to be the daughter of the Celestial Emperor. What proof do you have?" The Sword Saint scrutinized the little girl and asked.
"Just let me practice swordsmanship with you. Within a month, I can master all the sword techniques of your sect. That will be my proof," the little girl said arrogantly.
The Sword Saint looked at the little girl, shook his head, and suddenly laughed. "Are all daughters of the Celestial Emperor as arrogant as you?"
"No, the Emperor has ten children, each with different traits. The Celestial Emperor has three sons and seven daughters, each with their own personality—some brave, some gentle, some greedy, and some kind. Only my trait is arrogance," the little girl said, raising her chin. "Sword Saint, arrogance is my innate nature, something I cannot change. I ask for your understanding."
"Fine, I'll assume you come from the celestial realm," the Sword Saint laughed. "Let me ask you, what is the heavenly realm like?"
He raised his eyelids.
In the Sword Saint Hall, sword auras crisscrossed, countless transparent sword auras densely surrounding the little girl. If she moved, she would be sliced into countless pieces by the sword auras.
"Fairy Yunyao, how does my sword compare to the Heavenly Dao Sword?" the Sword Saint asked. "Can it cut down Heavenly Demons?"
"To cut down the current me, of course, there's no problem," Yunyao replied without changing her expression. "If the Qinglan Sword Saint teaches me this sword technique, in a month, I can fight you to a draw. In two months, I can defeat ten of you. Sword Saint, do you dare to bet with me?"
"Fairy Yunyao, why is your back wet?" the Sword Saint asked with a teasing smile.
"The Heavenly Demons are not yet eradicated. If I die, I will have no face to see my father when I return to the celestial realm," Yunyao coldly glanced at the Sword Saint. "I have seen a Celestial King cut down a hundred thousand Demon Heads with a single sword. Do you really think I would be scared by this childish sword technique? Sword Saint, you should think about how to deal with the invasion of billions of Heavenly Demons if the mortal realm falls..."
The Sword Saint laughed heartily and waved his hand, dispersing the sword auras. "Not bad, not bad. You have some courage, little girl. I don't care if you're a demon or a celestial. If you acknowledge me as your master, I will teach you swordsmanship."
"You are not worthy to be my master," the little girl frowned. "To be my master and teach me swordsmanship, at least a Celestial King is required."
"..." The Sword Saint frowned.
"Qinglan Sword Saint, I have already said, we are in a cooperative relationship. You teach me swordsmanship and help me eliminate the Heavenly Demons. I will take you to the celestial realm to learn the Heavenly Dao Sword. If you are attached to the mortal realm, I will help the Qinglan Sword Sect unify the world," Yunyao said. "Moreover, one day, I will leave this world. Being my master for a few months or years is meaningless and will only bring you trouble."
The Sword Saint's eyes remained on the little girl. With every word she spoke, her aura grew stronger, just like the characteristics of the Heavenly Demons described by the Chongming Kingdom. He smiled, "So arrogant, interesting, interesting. Fine, Yunyao, I won't take you as a disciple, but I will teach you swordsmanship."
"Thank you, Sword Saint," the little girl nodded at the Sword Saint. "Sword Saint, you can instruct your disciples to spread the phrase 'The Celestial King covers the Earth Tiger' among the people. The wider the spread, the better..."
"And why is that?" the Sword Saint asked.
"This is a military order to summon other celestial beings," Yunyao explained. "Anyone who dares to come to the Qinglan Sword Sect and knows the phrase, you can bring them to me. If the phrase is correct, you can keep them to help eradicate the Heavenly Demons. If the phrase is wrong, please cut them down with a single sword..."
The power went out, so I typed this on my phone. I'm so diligent ┭┮_┭┮
