Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1051: Modified: Chapter 38: An Zhisu kills with a sword, Shi Liuli comes to the rescue

The Great Bright Fire, its light and heat are endless.

This Daoist magic was unleashed by Xu Yinglian, illuminating the entire Dark World.

Not only were the surrounding shadow tides suppressed to the outskirts of the market, but also those shadows were forced into corners where there was nowhere left to retreat.

An Zhisu made another sword technique gesture, stabbing several more times into the shadows.

The Flying Smoke Sword burned with fierce flames, and every time it pierced a shadow, the opponent would let out a painful roar that sounded inhuman.

However, An Zhisu looked closely and saw that the wounds were not causing fatal damage to them, realizing these monsters were similar to the earlier mud guards, inheriting the unique immortality of the Heavenly Demon. Thus, she lost interest in them, idly stabbing away.

Xu Yinglian’s gaze swept over the many shadows, quickly locking onto the most staring shadow leader at the very back, and she said in a deep voice:

“What is this place? Who are you people? Heavenly Demon?”

The shadow leader did not respond, merely hiding in the distance without saying a word, continuing to drive the shadow tides—clearly determined to endure with the opposite side.

Looking again at those shadow tides, although they were suppressed to the corners by the Great Bright Fire, they never completely disappeared, leaving a sheltered area for the shadow forms.

Xu Yinglian naturally knew that as long as the Great Bright Fire could not completely eradicate the opponent, then given the opponent’s immortal characteristic, her side would sooner or later exhaust their True Yuan first.

Thus, she quickly reminded An Zhisu:

“We are not here to deal with these monsters. Who were you looking for earlier?”

An Zhisu immediately snapped awake, hurriedly turning to look around.

And she happened to catch sight of Chen Guanshui hiding behind Shi Liuli, who had already taken out the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle, injecting True Yuan.

“Stop!” Thinking of the previous disappearance without a word, Senior Sister An was also furious, and she attacked Chen Guanshui with all her might with her sword.

Shi Liuli was originally watching the spectacle, but seeing that the Jiao Xiao ruthlessly attacked Chen Guanshui, she instinctively controlled the Purple Extreme Han Yuan Sword to block.

Although the grades of the flying swords weren’t much different, in terms of proficiency in Sword Control Technique and the root bone of the sword cultivator, Shi Liuli was far inferior to the opponent. Thus, the Purple Extreme Han Yuan Sword was knocked back, causing the Flying Smoke Sword’s trajectory to skew, unable to stab Chen Guanshui.

It was at this moment that Xu Yinglian also looked over, her gaze falling on Chen Guanshui’s face, and she exclaimed:

“It’s you?”

As soon as she spoke, Chen Guanshui had already activated the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle, escaping from the Dwelling Cave Heaven.

Although Shi Liuli was closest to him, her reaction speed was slow, whereas An Zhisu, despite having seen him use this Divine Shuttle, was ultimately too far away. She wanted to quickly control her sword into the range of the Divine Shuttle but failed to make it.

Thus, only three female immortals remained in the Cave Heaven, along with the shadow forms forced into the corner by the Great Bright Fire.

“What’s going on?” Xu Yinglian asked first.

With her Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, she instantly perceived the inconsistency.

Firstly, An Zhisu’s response was overly intense, clearly having a deep-seated hatred with the man.

Secondly, Shi Liuli’s rescue was also an instinctive act, indicating a significant relationship with her.

Lastly, why does that man seem like the one I encountered near the White City last time?

“Not just seem, it is him.” Feng Lan said, “It’s the one you suspected to be Qiu Changtian last time.”

“How curious.” Xu Yinglian frowned, “I initially thought…”

“Qiu Changtian has ties with them?” Feng Lan asked in surprise.

“He’s never been on good terms with that Jiao Xiao.” Xu Yinglian replied, “It seems they haven’t gotten along since long ago. Senior Brother is highly cultivated and skilled, and that Jiao Xiao has an unyielding nature. Ever since being defeated in the White Jade Capital competition, she’s harbored resentment towards him.”

“As for Dong You, he used to admire Senior Brother in his youth, but after marrying Penglai’s Jingyun as a Daoist Companion, his temperament became much steadier.”

At this point, her voice paused, then she continued:

“Even so, the relationship between Jiao Xiao and him shouldn’t have deteriorated to the point of wanting to kill him; and Dong You wouldn’t need to intervene to save him…”

“So you’re somewhat questioning whether he’s indeed Qiu Changtian.” Feng Lan summarized.

“Hmm…” Xu Yinglian sighed.

Though reluctant to admit it, she now felt completely disoriented, unsure what to do.

Before continuing the pursuit of the man, it would be wise to first question Jiao Xiao and Dong You, see if any information can be gleaned.

An Zhisu was blocked by Shi Liuli’s sword, thus failing to prevent Chen Guanshui’s escape, first controlling her sword to where he vanished, trying to chase him away from here.

But being a Shushan Sword Immortal renowned for swordsmanship, she was evidently powerless in the Dao of space.

So she fumed for a long time before turning to glare at Shi Liuli:

“Why did you let him leave!”

Shi Liuli remained calm:

“I didn’t let him leave, I just saw you attacking to kill without a word, so I tried to stop you.”

“I wasn’t trying to kill him!” An Zhisu retorted angrily, “I only wanted to… just wanted to break his limbs and bring him back to Shushan!”

Actually, she still hadn’t made up her mind. Sometimes she wished to die with Junior Brother, ending everything; other times she thought about bringing him back to Shushan, then begging Master and Ancestor for mercy… Two completely different ideas clashed fiercely in her mind, leaving An Zhisu agitated, conflicted, and in pain.

Shi Liuli listened to her explanation, only coldly sneering inwardly.

You wanted to break his limbs and bring him to Shushan? How convenient, I thought the same.

But I would take him to Penglai’s Heavenly Craft Workshop, and he is only one—how should we split him?

If it comes to a direct contest, I’m no match for this Shushan brute, hence I can only feign ignorance and let that bastard escape first.

“Alright, let’s not argue anymore.” Xu Yinglian intervened, “Jiao Xiao, why do you want to kill that man?”

“That man is my Junior Brother and he’s the Tai Yin Sword Master of Shushan.” An Zhisu gritted her teeth, “I came out this time just to bring him back to Shushan!”

“Tai Yin Sword Master?” Xu Yinglian was first taken aback, thinking perhaps she really was mistaken, but quickly reacting, asked:

“Is there evidence to prove he’s the Tai Yin Sword Master? I see he hasn’t used the Tai Yin Suming Sword, has he?”

An Zhisu didn’t want to discuss further, only impatiently saying:

“Anyway, I have my own way of identifying, you just send me out first!”

Xu Yinglian pretended not to hear, as once she sent them away, An Zhisu would surely go after the man, leaving no mood to answer her questions.

So she turned to ask Shi Liuli:

“Dong You Daoist Friend, did you intervene just to save someone?”

“Correct.” Shi Liuli replied calmly.

“I think it’s more than that.” Xu Yinglian asked softly.

“Then what does Qiong Ying Daoist Friend think, why would I stop the attack?” Shi Liuli countered her.

The shadow leader in the distance was still working hard to drive the shadow tides, but the Great Bright Fire’s light and heat were endless, so it could only stay beyond the sea of flames, watching the three women plot against each other, completely indifferent to them.
