Singing with a Sword

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! "Hmph! Overestimating yourself!" Yi Ranxiao looked disdainfully at Chen Dasheng's attack and shouted loudly, "Today I will rid my Jianling City of this great scourge!"

Having said that, he thrust out the green sword!

call out!

This sword strike contained an astonishingly powerful killing intent! This sword strike was incredibly fast!

The Divine Thunder Sword Technique is as swift as lightning!

Chen Dasheng's pupils contracted, and before the raised scimitar could fall, a cold and sharp sensation spread through his throat!

Yi Ranxiao drew her green sword, and Chen Dasheng fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, staring at Yi Ranxiao in disbelief. Yi Ranxiao was simply a god of death...

Yi Ranxiao looked at Chen Dasheng's corpse and said, "Those who do many evil deeds will perish!" Then, his gaze suddenly swept over the remaining hundred or so people!

Among the more than two hundred people, some were so frightened that their legs went weak and they knelt on the ground; some were even so frightened that they cried out for their parents and screamed incoherently.

Originally, Yiran Xiao only planned to spare those who had just joined Chen Dasheng's gang and had not yet done anything bad, and kill all the others. However, after all, Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life, and these people who had committed crimes were not all great villains. After this incident, they would probably not dare to do evil again in the future.

"Listen up, all of you!" Yi Ranxiao roared, his voice like thunder, causing the remaining hundred-plus people to kneel down!

"If you dare to do evil again, I, Yiran Xiao, will surely use my twin swords to take your heads!" The green sword suddenly pointed at more than a hundred people.

The more than one hundred people trembled all over, stammering, "We...we understand...thank you for sparing our lives, Master Yi...thank you for sparing our lives, Master Yi..."

"Hmph, you can all leave now! You'd better watch yourselves!" Yi Ranxiao coldly shouted, and the hundred-plus people immediately got up and fled like mad dogs.

Xu An, who was watching the battle from afar, was utterly terrified by what he had just witnessed and immediately slunk back to the Vanguard Hall. It seemed that he couldn't take revenge on his own, and now he could only ask his senior brother for help! However, his senior brother had recently gone into seclusion and could not be disturbed, so he could only wait for him to come out of seclusion.

"Heh heh, once Senior Brother comes out of seclusion, let's see how smug you can be then!" Xu An thought bitterly.

The battle had ended in front of Wei Wuzheng's residence.

Yi Ranxiao and the other three arrived at Wei Wuzheng's door. Wei Wuzheng had already noticed the commotion outside and had seen everything. He was both surprised and impressed. This senior brother named Yi Ranxiao was simply as brave and mighty as a god!

Wei Wuzheng, with his eighth-level Transcendent Realm strength and exceptional insight, could tell that Yi Ranxiao was only at the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm. A sixth-level cultivator had virtually no chance of winning against more than three hundred people at the second or third level of the Transcendent Realm! However, Yi Ranxiao still pressed forward bravely, intimidating the group with his unstoppable aura!

Such courage is rare indeed! It deserves our utmost respect! If it were me, Wei Wuzheng, and I were only given the strength of the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm, would I dare to forge ahead as bravely as Yi Ranxiao?

Thinking about it this way, Wei Wuzheng admired Yi Ranxiao even more! On second thought, shouldn't people be like this? No matter when, no matter how bad your life is, you must forge ahead! Can a person who does nothing all day and has no ambition be called a human being?

Just then, with a creak, Wei Wuzheng's door was pushed open by Yi Ranxiao, and the radiant light from outside poured in. Yi Ranxiao was standing right under the door, and golden light immediately appeared behind his tall figure!

In a daze, this man seemed like a god!

"Senior Brother!" Even though Wei Wuzheng's strength was superior to Yi Ranxiao's, he couldn't help but call out that at this moment...

He had thought that he would need to rely on his silver tongue and some half-hearted treatment to subdue Wei Wuzheng, but he never expected that he could make Wei Wuzheng willingly join his ranks with just that one battle. Yiran Xiao was extremely excited.

After bringing Wei Wuzheng back to Shenfeng Hall, Yiran Xiao immediately instructed Zhi Banjie to begin treating Wei Wuzheng's disabilities. His hands and left leg could be restored, but his right leg was completely crippled, and he would have to use crutches from now on. However, Wei Wuzheng had already accepted this, and since his main cultivation technique was sound magic, which hardly required the use of his feet, he did not feel particularly frustrated.

Thus, Wei Wuzheng, at the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm, officially joined the Divine Wind Hall! From then on, the Divine Wind Hall gained a true master!

The next master to be subdued is Huangfu Cheng.

……

……

Huangfu Cheng was a member of the Huangfu clan, one of the most prestigious families in the sect, and was skilled in beast taming. He was once considered the future heir of the Huangfu family, and high hopes were placed upon him. His beast taming talent was unparalleled in another branch of the sect—the Beast Taming Hall. However, he later fell in love with someone he shouldn't have—or rather, someone who shouldn't have been loved.

The one he fell in love with was none other than his spirit beast, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. Spirit beasts, upon reaching a certain level of cultivation, can almost all transform into human form. His spirit fox cultivated into a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, and transformed into a beautiful woman. It was at this moment that Huangfu Cheng fell in love with his spirit beast and promised to stay with her for life.

But the relationship between a spirit beast and its master is like that of a master and servant! And Huangfu Cheng's love for his spirit beast is like a princess falling in love with her guard! If he were just someone from a small family, a person and a fox together wouldn't be a problem. The key is that behind Huangfu Cheng is the Huangfu family, one of the top super families in the sects!

In any large family, etiquette is extremely strict; face is life itself! How could the elders of the Huangfu family allow Huangfu Cheng to be with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox? How could they allow him to be with his spirit beast? Therefore, these people did everything they could to obstruct him, creating obstacles and using both soft and hard tactics to force Huangfu Cheng to separate from his spirit beast. Unfortunately for them, Huangfu Cheng had fallen deeply in love; how could he possibly separate from the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?

Helpless, the elders, for the sake of their family honor and Huangfu Cheng's future, secretly killed the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox! Upon learning this news, Huangfu Cheng immediately went mad!

He wanted revenge, but they were his clansmen, his elders; he couldn't bring himself to do something so rebellious! But they had killed his beloved wife; how could he forget such hatred? This inner conflict drove him mad! The elders of the Huangfu family tried to treat him, as they couldn't bear to watch a genius fall into depravity. But no matter how they treated or tried to persuade him, Huangfu Cheng remained insane, constantly mentioning Tianhu's name.

Left with no other choice, the elders abandoned Huangfu Cheng; he was a madman and not worth their continued effort! Huangfu Cheng was then exiled to Shenfeng Hall.

This time, Yi Ranxiao brought Xiao Fan and Wei Wuzheng with her. When they arrived at the foot of the small hill where Huangfu Cheng was, Yi Ranxiao said to Wei Wuzheng, "Wuzheng, Xiao Fan and I will go up first. I will have Xiao Fan inform you to go up later."

Wei Wuzheng knew that Yiran Xiao had his own plans, so he agreed and waited at the foot of the mountain. Yiran Xiao and Xiao Fan then slowly climbed the small mountain. A stream flowed gently down the mountain. Yiran Xiao and Xiao Fan followed the stream upstream, and after a short while, they saw a small thatched hut by the stream. This was Huangfu Cheng's current residence.

In front of the small thatched hut was an open space where a cute little girl was playing. The girl had her hair tied in a high ponytail, delicate features, and large, bright eyes; she was as adorable as a porcelain doll. Yi Ranxiao was secretly puzzled. Where did this little girl come from, deep in the mountains and forests? Could she be Huangfu Cheng's daughter?

Could it be that Huangfu Cheng and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox had a baby? Yi Ranxiao was puzzled.

At this moment, the little girl saw the stranger and immediately hid in the small thatched hut behind her. The small thatched hut was Huangfu Cheng's house, so this little girl was most likely Huangfu Cheng's daughter; but was she really that scary? Did she need to hide so hastily? Yi Ranxiao smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Little girl, is your father home?" Yi Ranxiao asked gently towards the door of the thatched hut.

The little girl inside, sensing the stranger's calm tone, figured he wasn't a bad person. She slightly opened the door, revealing a wide enough crack, and peeked her head out. Looking at Yi Ranxiao, she asked in a soft, childish voice, "Oh, my daddy went up the mountain to chop firewood. But who are you, uncles? Why are you looking for my daddy?"

Xiao Fan said with a smile, "We are your father's good friends. We've come to see him about something." Xiao Fan was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was a sunny boy next door with an exceptionally bright smile that made it easy for people to feel close to him.

Yi Ranxiao also made a cute face beside her. When the little girl saw these two adorable uncles, she lowered her guard, happily pushed open the door, and came out. "Uncle, and big brother, please wait a moment, my dad will be back soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar. A person rushed up to Yi Ranxiao, picked up the little girl, took three steps back, and pointed at Yi Ranxiao and Xiao Fan, asking warily, "Who are you?"

Yi Ranxiao smiled and said, “I am Huangfu Cheng. I am Yi Ranxiao, the senior disciple of Shenfeng Hall.”

In the months immediately following Tianhu's death, Huangfu Cheng was insane. Then, he suddenly remembered his child with Tianhu, and his mind cleared up. He then immediately took the child and went into seclusion in this small mountain.

As for this child, it was secretly born to him and Tianhu. The child was kept hidden after birth, so the Huangfu family had no idea about it. However, secrets don't stay hidden forever. Huangfu Cheng lived in constant fear, worried that those old fogies would find out about the woman's existence and then come to kidnap and kill her.

So when he returned from chopping wood today and saw Yi Ranxiao and Xiao Fan, he instinctively assumed they were henchmen sent by the Huangfu family, hence his intense reaction. Although Yi Ranxiao introduced herself, he had never seen her before, so he felt she was lying and stared at her coldly.

Yi Ranxiao smiled and said, "Huangfu Cheng, you value this little girl so much. If I were a member of the Huangfu family, I would definitely be able to guess that this girl is your and Tianhu's daughter."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Cheng suddenly understood! He had indeed let concern cloud his judgment! But who exactly was this person before him? "Who are you? And why have you come to find me?"

Yi Ranxiao shrugged. "I've already told you my identity, but you still suspect I'm from the Huangfu family." Huangfu Cheng acquiesced, and Yi Ranxiao continued, "If I were from the Huangfu family, I would have snatched that girl right now. Why would I waste my breath talking to you?"
