There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

Gu Xia squinted, once again experiencing the feeling of being patted on the head by her senior brother.

She knew that her previous behavior of not contacting anyone in order to avoid attracting attention had made her senior brothers sad for so long, and she felt a little guilty for once.

"Don't worry, senior brothers." Gu Xia's eyes curved into a smile as she gave them a sweet, innocent look. "I'm fine. Look, I'm perfectly alright, aren't I?"

After Shen Weixun and Xu Xingmu composed themselves, they finally had time to carefully observe what she had said.

It turned out that Gu Xia's words weren't just meant to comfort them; she was more than just good, she was absolutely wonderful.

Shen Weixun realized the fact that he had been ignoring since just now.

He didn't even notice the slightest aura emanating from Gu Xia.

He was so calm, just like an ordinary person without any cultivation.

This situation seemed like someone who had lost all their cultivation and become a cripple due to self-destruction, but looking at Gu Xia's extremely calm expression, he was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, an incredible conjecture began to rise from the bottom of my heart.

Aside from becoming a cripple, there's another reason: the opponent's cultivation level is too high, enough to conceal all their aura.

As the saying goes, the greatest truths are the simplest, and returning to simplicity is the best approach.

Just as the two were still somewhat stunned, Yu Heng's reckless shouts successfully broke the atmosphere.

Gu Xia was surprised that he was the first to suspect that she was an imposter, and his attitude was quite certain.

He actually picked up a sword and, without saying a word, seemed ready to beat her back to her original form.

Before he could even touch a single hair on Gu Xia's head, he was grabbed by the other party. Without even using a sword, the other party blocked the Fuyao Sword with two fingers and then pressed Yu Heng down.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!!"

The Fifth Elder, who was on the verge of exploding and had been deliberately ignored by Gu Xia, narrowed his eyes.

Not right.

He knew Yu Heng's level of cultivation; he had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, yet he was so easily subdued by her.

This Gu Xia not only didn't die, but she also didn't become a cripple.

Even he couldn't see through the realm.

"Gu Xia".

The Fifth Elder's voice was deep and somber, "You are clearly dead, so what are you trying to pull now?"

He was probably the only one present who shared the same thoughts as Yu Heng.

They felt this couldn't possibly be the real Gu Xia.

But Gu Xia ignored him completely, instead holding Yu Heng in one hand and raising an eyebrow slightly, "What? You don't recognize me after only a short time?"

"And what else is this about me that you spread around when I'm not around?"

Demons and monsters?

Are they planning to send her to the demon faction's side?

For some reason, Yu Heng felt inexplicably guilty after hearing what she said.

But before he could speak, the Fifth Elder, who had been ignored time and time again, finally lost his temper. He condensed his surging spiritual energy into a palm and struck Gu Xia without warning.

"I'll see if you're a human or a ghost!"

"What the hell?"

Yu Heng's words caught in his throat, and he was terrified.

He was still being carried by Gu Xia.

Wouldn't this palm strike send them both flying to the heavens?

The Fifth Elder looked furious.

However, at this moment he was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

The sword spirits who were initially hostile to each other were the first to react.

Annihilation Sword had never seen anything so reckless. He slowly curled his lips, and a terrifying killing aura instantly erupted from his body.

The Fusheng Swordsmen were equally unwilling to be outdone.

They had thought the sword master was dead, but now that they saw Gu Xia standing there unharmed, they felt that if even a single hair on her head had fallen, they would have been useless.

Several sword energies of different attributes revealed their sharpness and instantly swept across the entire world.

Just moments ago, Yakult was crying with tears in his eyes. In a flash, he transformed back into a black dragon, spewing out a terrifying storm of dragon breath that was aimed directly at the Fifth Elder.

The deafening explosion was incredibly powerful, and the aftershocks spread outwards. Everyone affected struggled to maintain their balance, and rubble and dirt fell to the ground.

"I rely on."

Yi Ling had barely opened his mouth when he was hit with a mouthful of dirt. He squinted and glanced to the side, then quickly scurried over and hid under the array that Li Tingyun had just set up. He watched the scene unfold with lingering fear.

"Why did he suddenly become so crazy?"

"What you're saying is ridiculous," Li Tingyun said calmly. "Before Gu Xia appeared, they were even crazier than they are now."

Yi Ling recalled the situation not long ago and said awkwardly, "That's true."

However, he quickly became gloating, "The Fifth Elder is going to be in big trouble now."

As expected, the Fifth Elder was caught off guard.

Having been attacked by a group of sword spirits and contracted beasts, he was in a sorry state, his robes torn to shreds by the sword energy, and several pieces of his hair cut off.

The sword spirits naturally showed no mercy to the culprit who had 'killed' Gu Xia.

“That newly appeared sword spirit looks very unfamiliar.” Gu Lanyi, using her sleeve to conceal her gaze, squinted at the direction of the Annihilation Sword. “And this aura… is far too fierce.”

Although all sword spirits are ferocious, the Slaughter Sword itself has drunk too much blood and souls, making it even more ferocious.

"You mean that one?" Ye Suian said casually, "That's the one Gu Xiaxin picked up."

"How about that? Pretty fierce, huh?"

Gu Lanyi: "..."

It's a sword spirit, after all. How come in your mouth it's like a worthless cabbage in the field that you can just pick up whenever you want?

Gu Xia put Yu Heng, which she was carrying, behind her, along with her two senior brothers.

With a casual gesture, the Floating Life Sword, perfectly attuned to her, had been watching Gu Xia's movements all along. Upon seeing this, it obediently fell into her palm without hesitation.

"How is it, Fifth Elder?"

The girl turned her sword to one side, releasing her previously restrained aura completely.

"Have you figured out whether I'm a human or a ghost?"
