Auxiliary Women's Strategy: A Virtuous Wife Helps the King to Rule the World

The Ninth Elder's heart suddenly trembled, his gaze flashing as he followed the sound. In the distant sky, a graceful woman appeared, atop a flying sword, gracefully approaching like a celestial being. She wore a pale green dress, the hem of which danced lightly in the breeze, like rippling green waves. Her long hair flowed like a waterfall, like a fairy descending to earth. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, like a meticulously crafted work of art, yet held a subtle frost that instilled awe and made one dare not look directly at her sharp edge.

The Ninth Elder roared angrily, his voice filled with unquestionable authority, like a thunderclap: "Who are you? How dare you block this elder's path? Are you tired of living?"

The woman glanced coldly at the Ninth Elder. Her eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if they could penetrate all the hypocrisy and pretense in the world and strike the deepest part of the human heart. She spoke slowly, her voice cold and firm, like a flowing cold spring: "I am the Immortal Lord Zihuan. Have you heard?"

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Elder frowned, and doubts began to well up in his heart. In this world of cultivation, judging people by appearance is the most taboo. The woman in front of him looked no more than twenty years old, but who could guarantee that she wasn't an old monster hiding her true age? Naturally, he didn't dare to offend easily, so he quickly bowed and saluted, his tone filled with a bit of politeness and tentativeness: "So it's Immortal Master Zihuan, I've heard of your name for a long time. However, it's better for you not to interfere in this matter. These two stole the immortal sword of our Shengwu Immortal Sect, so we are arresting them. Immortal Master Zihuan, could you please do us a favor and let us take them away?"

Mo Yu was furious when he heard this. He was about to open his mouth to refute, but was gently stopped by Su Nan. Su Nan turned to the Ninth Elder and smiled contemptuously. That smile contained both mockery and confidence, like a blooming poppy, beautiful yet poisonous. "You say this is your immortal sword? What's the proof?"

The Ninth Elder nodded affirmatively, as if every word contained unquestionable power: "This is an indisputable fact."

Su Nan continued to ask slowly, his voice like a trickle of water, but with a hidden edge: "What are the names of these two swords? What's so special about them? It's not that I don't trust the Ninth Elder, I just want to confirm it, so as not to wrongly accuse a good person, which would be a waste of our efforts."

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Elder was speechless, his face turning extremely awkward. He truly didn't know the names or special features of the two swords, as they had simply been found to frame him. At this moment, the Seventh and Eighth Elders also flashed to the Ninth Elder's side, clearly offering to lend a hand in dealing with this sudden change.

The eighth elder curled his lips in disbelief and shouted loudly, with a hint of provocation in his voice: "Old Nine, why are you wasting your time talking to her? We have never heard of the so-called Purple Huan Immortal Lord! She is just playing tricks on me. Let me test her strength first!" After that, he put his right index finger and middle finger together, and a lightsaber about one foot long condensed in an instant, and rushed towards Su Nan like lightning.

Su Nan still maintained that faint smile, waiting motionlessly for the finger sword to fly in front of her. Seeing that the finger sword was about to hit her between the eyebrows, Su Nan suddenly glared, opened her red lips, and uttered two words: "Go back!"

As if on command, the finger sword spun around, swiftly darting back towards the Eighth Elder's brow. The Eighth Elder panicked, using three consecutive finger sword strikes to barely block the incoming blade. The outcome was immediately clear, and the Eighth Elder's expression grew increasingly grim.

Su Nan looked at the three of them, a mocking smile on his lips, like a snow lotus on an icy peak, beautiful yet chilling. "Still coming? To tell you the truth, you three can't do it if we fight. Either go home, or... hehe! Just leave your lives behind, and let me see your backbone."

These words were merciless, leaving the three of them feeling mortified. But judging by Su Nan's actions just now, even if the three of them were tied together, they would not be her match. Should they fight? Or run? The three of them were mired in hesitation, their hearts churning, unable to make a decision.

At that moment, a distant, deep bell sound suddenly reverberated through the valley, shaking everyone's heart and soul, as if echoing the most ancient melody in the universe. The expressions of the Ninth Elder, the Seventh Elder, and the Eighth Elder instantly grew solemn. They exchanged glances, seeing in each other's eyes a look of determination and helplessness, as well as worry and confusion about the future.

"Immortal Master Zihuan, we of the Shengwu Immortal Sect have taken note of today's events." The Seventh Elder took a deep breath, suppressing his inner shock and resentment. His tone carried a hint of threat and helplessness. "However, this matter concerns the reputation of our sect, and we will never let it go. I hope that the Immortal Master will not regret today's decision in the future, otherwise..."

Upon hearing this, Su Nan simply smiled faintly. That smile showed both disdain for the Ninth Elder's threat and confidence and pride in his own strength. "Holy Martial Immortal Sect? Humph, if you really want to embarrass me, then go ahead. I, the Immortal Lord Zihuan, have never been afraid of anyone. However, before you leave, there is one thing I must do."

As he spoke, Su Nan's eyes swept over the three elders, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty and indifference: "You will fly back on your own, and the flying boat will stay. This is my decision, and you have no room for bargaining."

Upon hearing this, the three elders' expressions paled slightly, their hearts feeling as if a huge rock had weighed them down, making it difficult to breathe. The flying boat was a crucial tool for their return to the Shengwu Immortal Sect. Without it, they would have to fly back on their own, which would not only be time-consuming and laborious, but more importantly, where would their dignity be? However, faced with Su Nan's formidable strength and unquestionable attitude, they dared not even think of resisting, and could only silently accept this humiliating arrangement.

The Seventh Elder sighed softly, as if expelling all the resentment and humiliation in his heart. He waved to the Ninth and Eighth Elders, and the three of them transformed into three streams of light, streaking across the sky and flying off into the distance. Their backs seemed somewhat desolate, yet they also revealed a firmness and unyielding spirit, as if to tell the world that the glory of the Shengwu Immortal Sect could not be violated.

The flying boat, which had been parked not far away, slowly descended to the ground, as if controlled by an invisible force. The disciples who had accompanied the three elders paled with fear at this sight and retreated. They knew they were no match for Su Nan. They could only watch the three elders depart while they returned to the Shengwu Immortal Sect on foot. Their hearts were filled with fear and confusion, as if they had lost their way.

"You don't want to go home and you still want me to treat you to a meal?" After hearing Su Nan's words, these disciples ran away without looking back.

Su Nan smiled softly, a smile that simultaneously mocked the three elders and expressed confidence and pride in her own strength. Her smile was like sunlight piercing through the clouds, bright and dazzling, making it impossible to look directly at it. She slowly walked to the flying boat and gently stroked its cold hull, as if sensing the power and secrets it held.

"Sister, are you just going to let them go like this?" Mo Yu asked unwillingly, his eyes flashing with anger and unwillingness, as if he wanted to burn to ashes all those who dared to provoke them.

Su Nan turned to look at Mo Yu, his eyes revealing a hint of tenderness and comfort: "Don't rush to deal with them, deal with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals first."

After saying that, Su Nan swept her gaze over the frightened people below. Her eyes were like sharp sword energy, which made people feel cold.

Su Nan, relying on memory, folded up the flying boat, landed on the ground, and looked around. The major sects all knelt. The conversation between her and the three elders had been heard clearly by the people below. How powerful was she to scare away the three elders of the Northern Territory's foremost faction? Furthermore, these major sects all had grudges against the Black Feather Palace. Seeing Mo Yu call her "sister" was terrifying. They knew they had gotten into serious trouble this time, and escaping unscathed would be impossible.

Su Nan looked at them coldly, a strange irritation welling up in her heart. She knew she couldn't let them go so easily, otherwise it would only make more people think that the Black Feather Palace was easy to bully. However, she didn't want to start a massacre here. After all, these people were elite disciples from various sects, and she had never killed anyone before.

So, she took a deep breath, suppressed the irritation and anger in her heart, and slowly said, "I can let bygones be bygones for what happened today. However, you will have to pay a price."

Upon hearing this, the people nodded rapidly, fearing that Su Nan would regret it. They knew that being able to save their lives today was already a great blessing. As for the price? Compared to their lives, any price was worth it.

Su Nan couldn't help but feel amused as she watched their fearful expressions. She knew that although these people had surrendered on the surface, they were probably still unwilling to accept it in their hearts. However, she didn't bother to care about it anymore. Soon they would be more obedient than puppies.
