Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

Nalan Rongzhi received an urgent letter. The matter mentioned in the letter was very urgent and he had to deal with it as soon as possible. Although he was very reluctant, he knew that this matter was of great importance and could not be delayed in the slightest.

Looking at Nalan Rongzhi's solemn expression, Lu Lingxi Yao already understood a bit of what was going on.

"Is it serious? Do you need me to come with you?" Lu Lingxi asked worriedly.

Nalan Rongzhi gazed at Lu Lingxi with deep affection, gently stroked her cheek, and said softly, "Don't worry, I will handle it properly. It's just that I will have to leave for a while. Will you resent me?"

Lu Lingxi nodded slightly, a gentle and understanding look in her clear eyes, and then said softly, "Go in peace, I'll wait for you to come back."

Nalan Rongzhi gazed at Lu Lingxi's exquisite face, his eyes filled with deep affection. He solemnly raised his right hand, as if making a vow, and said firmly, "Yaoyao, wait for me patiently. Once I have settled everything, I will return to your side immediately."

Watching Nalan Rongzhi's departing figure, Lu Lingxi felt a little reluctant, but she knew he had his own mission to complete. After a moment of adjustment, she took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and with a determined look in her eyes, turned and sped off towards the direction of Dark Shadow Valley.

A gust of wind swept past as Lu Lingxi Yao raced along. Along the way, spirit beasts would occasionally leap out of the dense forest and launch surprise attacks on her. These spirit beasts were quite powerful, but they were all easily defeated by Lu Lingxi Yao's sharp swordsmanship.

Upon entering the Shadow Valley, a thick miasma rushed towards them. This miasma, as if alive, surged and tried to erode Lu Lingxi's body. She circulated her spiritual power, forming a thin halo around her body to resist the miasma's erosion, and struggled forward.

Suddenly, the miasma churned, and a gigantic shadow serpent burst forth from the thick fog. It exuded a chilling aura of darkness, its scarlet eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty glint, and its icy vertical pupils fixed intently on Lu Lingxi Yao.

Upon seeing this enormous creature, Lu Lingxi was not afraid at all. With a thought, she instantly grasped the Flying Snow Sword in her hand. The sword emitted a cold light, reflecting her resolute face.

The Shadow Serpent hissed and its massive body lunged at Lu Lingxi Yao like an arrow. She dodged to the side, avoiding the Shadow Serpent's attack, and at the same time, she swung her longsword, sending a sharp sword aura straight towards the Shadow Serpent's abdomen.

The Shadow Serpent, in pain, let out an angry roar. Its massive body rolled, stirring up a foul stench. It quickly adjusted its posture and launched another fierce attack on Lu Lingxi Yao.

After several rounds, Lu Lingxi Yao gradually felt somewhat powerless. The Shadow Serpent was extremely fast and its movements were unpredictable. Each attack was accompanied by a sharp gust of wind, making it difficult to defend against.

Lu Lingxi Yao kept waving her long sword, the sword flashing and turning into streaks of cold light, trying to resist the Shadow Serpent's attacks. However, the Shadow Serpent was exceptionally agile and could always easily dodge her sword moves, and would seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack from tricky angles.

In an instant, sword energy crisscrossed the field, and spiritual energy overflowed. Lu Lingxi Yao let out a delicate shout and suddenly swung her long sword. A layer of light blue light flickered on the blade, like ripples on water. With a slight flick of her wrist, the sword light surged out like a rushing tide, heading straight for the Shadow Serpent.

Seeing this, the Shadow Serpent twisted its massive body violently, dodging the fatal blow at an incredible angle. It hissed and opened its blood-red maw, spewing out a thick cloud of black smoke. The smoke quickly spread, instantly obscuring Lu Lingxi's vision and plunging her into darkness.

Lu Lingxi felt a chill run down her spine, but she didn't panic. She flashed away and quickly retreated, holding her breath to avoid inhaling the poisonous fog. At the same time, a powerful spiritual force surged from her dantian, flowing rapidly along her meridians and finally converging on the longsword in her hand.

In an instant, the tip of the sword burst forth with dazzling light. As spiritual energy was continuously poured in, the light grew brighter and brighter, eventually forming a small ball of light that enveloped the entire sword.

Lu Lingxi gripped the sword hilt tightly, staring intently ahead. The Shadow Serpent, appearing and disappearing in the thick fog, was rapidly lunging at her, preparing to launch a fatal attack. She could feel the intense killing intent emanating from the Shadow Serpent, as well as the suffocating sense of oppression.

At this critical moment, Lu Lingxi suddenly felt a strange power surging within her body.

It turned out that this was a protective spiritual force that Nalan Rongzhi had secretly left in her body. Now, sensing the danger, it was automatically activated to protect her from harm.

This protective spiritual power merged with Lu Lingxi Yao's own spiritual power, causing the light on the sword to burst forth with an even more dazzling brilliance.

Lu Lingxi seized the opportunity, shouted again, swung her longsword, and thrust it forward. The tip of the sword accurately pierced the head of the Shadow Serpent. After a crisp sound, the Shadow Serpent let out a shrill roar, twisting its body wildly, and black blood splattered all around.

Lu Lingxi gritted her teeth, holding the longsword firmly to prevent the Shadow Serpent from breaking free. As the Shadow Serpent's life force gradually faded, the surrounding miasma also dissipated. She drew her longsword and let out a long sigh of relief. Then, she continued to venture deeper into the Shadow Valley. Just when she was completely unprepared, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her path.

Lu Lingxi Yao was suddenly jolted, a chill instantly spreading throughout her body. She immediately steadied herself and stared warily at the uninvited guest in front of her.

The newcomer was dressed in a long black robe, the hem of which fluttered in the cold wind. He exuded a powerful yet suffocating aura. He wore a hideous mask that concealed his face, revealing only a pair of cold, razor-sharp eyes.

At this moment, Lu Lingxi Yao was unaware that the person in front of her was none other than Fen Tian, ​​the Left Protector of the Cangqiong Temple. Fen Tian had only recently returned to the temple, but was shocked to hear the tragic news of his beloved disciple's death.

After some inquiries, it was discovered that the murderer of his beloved disciple was none other than Lu Lingxi Yao, the newly accepted disciple of the Grand Elder Yunyin Immortal Venerable. Upon learning the truth, Fentian was enraged and wished he could kill Lu Lingxi Yao immediately to appease his beloved disciple's spirit in heaven.

When he learned that Lu Lingxi was training in the Dark Shadow Valley, Fen Tian was secretly delighted. This was a golden opportunity. He knew that once Lu Lingxi returned to the temple and was protected by the Grand Elder, it would be much more difficult to make a move.

Thinking of this, Fen Tian's killing intent intensified. Without hesitation, he headed straight for the Dark Shadow Valley, determined to kill Lu Lingxi Yao there.

Fen Tian crossed his arms and looked coldly at Lu Lingxi Yao, his tone icy and piercing, "Lu Lingxi Yao, today is your death day."

Lu Lingxi looked puzzled and sized up the unfamiliar old man before her, asking, "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Fen Tian was enraged. He sneered, "Don't play dumb! You killed my Ling Xiao disciple, and today I will make you pay with your life!"

Lu Lingxi suddenly realized, recalling her previous conflict with Ling Xiao. She gripped her long sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "Senior has misunderstood. I did not do what your disciple did on purpose."

Burning Heaven roared, "Shut up! Stop trying to deny it! Today, you must pay for this in blood!"

As she finished speaking, a flame, like a roaring fire dragon, swept towards Lu Lingxi Yao. Startled, Lu Lingxi Yao quickly dodged, lightly touching the ground with her feet, and flew behind a thick tree. She knew that today's predicament was unlikely to end well, and that only by fighting with all her might she have a glimmer of hope.

Lu Lingxi took a deep breath, mobilized all her spiritual power, and silently chanted a spell. The Flying Snow Sword emitted a buzzing sound, and its blade exuded a chilling aura.

She leaped into the air like a white lightning bolt, rushing towards Fentian, her long sword gleaming with sharp sword energy as she slashed down.

Fen Tian dodged to the side and struck out with his palm. The scorching palm wind rushed towards Lu Lingxi Yao like a tidal wave. Lu Lingxi Yao hurriedly swung her sword to defend, and a powerful force made her tiger's mouth go numb.

After three rounds, Lu Lingxi Yao gradually felt exhausted. Her opponent's strength was far superior to hers. She thought to herself: Am I really going to die here today?

Just when they were in despair, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky, separating the two.

Immortal Venerable Yunyin landed beside Lu Lingxi, a hint of worry in his brow, and asked softly, "Disciple, are you alright? Are you injured?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on Fen Tian, ​​not daring to relax her vigilance in the slightest.

When Fen Tian saw Immortal Venerable Yun Yin appear, his anger intensified. He roared, "Yun Yin, your disciple has committed a grave error. Do not protect him!"

Immortal Venerable Yunyin frowned slightly. "Fentian, there are other hidden reasons for this matter. It is not as simple as you think. Please calm down and listen to my explanation."

Upon hearing this, Fen Tian couldn't help but let out a disdainful sneer: "Hmph! Is there any reason that can excuse the crime of murder? A life for a life is a matter of course!"

Lu Lingxi stepped forward, facing Fentian directly, and said loudly, "Senior, what happened that day was your disciple trying to seize my treasure and pressuring me aggressively. I, Lu Lingxi, have always acted with integrity and uprightness. I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will retaliate tenfold!"

Upon hearing this, Fen Tian froze, seemingly not expecting Lu Lingxi Yao to contradict him so directly. His tone was chilling, "Even so, you shouldn't have taken his life!"

Lu Lingxi snorted coldly, meeting Fen Tian's gaze without fear: "Hmph! I've long held a grudge against him. Back in Fengyin City, we clashed over the bidding for the sea monster. Who would have thought that this despicable villain would secretly find out I was at the temple and gather a bunch of rabble to cause me trouble, with malicious intent! Do you think I, Lu Lingxi, am a pushover to be bullied and manipulated at will? Since he's determined to make things difficult for me, then don't blame me for being ruthless and making him die!"

After saying that, Lu Lingxi clenched her jade-like hands, and a sharp aura emanated from her, like a sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed.

After listening to Lu Lingxi Yao's words, Fen Tian hesitated for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Seizing the opportunity, Immortal Venerable Yunyin spoke again: "Fentian, there is indeed another reason for this matter. Your disciple has been acting strangely and has repeatedly provoked others. Xiyao was only acting out of self-preservation and had no other choice."

After a moment of silence, Fen Tian slowly said, "Even if Ling Xiao was in the wrong first, he has already lost his life. How can I live with myself if I don't avenge him? As his master, how can I sit idly by?"

Lu Lingxi looked directly into Fen Tian's eyes, her tone resolute: "Senior, I am willing to accept the punishment I deserve, but I will never let you take my life at will! If you insist on doing so, then I will fight to the death to resist to the very end!"

Just then, a weak voice suddenly came from behind Fentian: "Master... let it go..."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a semi-transparent figure slowly emerge—it was Ling Xiao's soul! It turned out that although his physical body had died, his soul still remained in the mortal world.

Ling Xiao said weakly, "It is my own fault, I have no one else to blame."

Fen Tian stared at Ling Xiao's soul, his eyes widening in shock, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Finally, he sighed deeply, his voice filled with helplessness and sorrow: "So be it..."

After saying this, he turned and left, carrying Ling Xiao's soul with him.

Lu Lingxi Yao finally breathed a long sigh of relief and respectfully bowed to Immortal Venerable Yunyin to express her gratitude: "Thank you for your help, Master."

She then continued to explore deeper into Shadow Valley, but this time, she was more cautious.
