Waking up from sleep, the disciples found that the world of cultivation had suddenly begun to show active attention to their sect.
The Heavenly Sword Sect had overnight turned from a dreary and uninteresting place into a crowd of people wanting to join the sect, or those who were interested in the personality of Destroying Blade.
It was not easy to resist this crowd, but two sisters – Lian Lin and Lian Xin were able to calm down the lively crowd and answer some questions.
“Yes, Xie Qing is a disciple of our sect and is registered for the main disciple exam,” Lian Lin answered with an indifferent face, sitting at a long rectangular table.
She looked neat and beautiful, a mysterious aura emanated from her, and her clothing was a black hanfu with golden patterns, belonging to the wardrobe of the sect leader.
Leaving out the details, now more than a hundred people were gathered in the conference room, and this was only because this hall could not accommodate more people.
Since it was impossible to hide the existence of Xie Qing, and there was no need to do so, Lian Lin agreed to reveal some details, of course, with the permission of Xu Mei.
“Sect Master, with all due respect, but can you keep this young man like this? You didn’t even let us meet him!” exclaimed someone from the crowd, he was wearing rich and baggy clothes with inlays of precious stones.
Lian Lin turned her gaze to the speaker, and she narrowed her eyes, seeing that it was someone from the trade union, who was considered famous in the expanses of the Dynasty.
She, thinking a little, decided to give a brief answer to this question.
“Disciple Xie Qing is currently not in the sect, moreover, he is under the care of the Sword Princess. With all due respect, even I cannot ask the Master to give us this young man,” Lian Lin answered, shifting everything to Xu Mei.
“This young man… a disciple of the Sword Princess?” the people were surprised, but could not quite accept this fact.
Although the Sword Princess did not appear in public, many knew that she was alive and healthy, just in closed cultivation.
Those harboring evil intentions and wanting to make the young man defect to their side bitterly swallowed their saliva, feeling despair.
If the Sword Princess was already considered his Master, was there the slightest chance of turning him out of the sect? Even the heroes of Japanese romantic comedies from robe novels recognized their feelings more easily than what they were about to do.
Soon, although it was not easy, Lian Lin drove away the intrusive guests and said that if they wanted to discuss something about Xie Qing, then let them contact the Sword Princess directly.
Thus, she weeded out small people who did not have enough status, saving Xie Qing from unnecessary troubles.
Standing up, the girl cracked her back and looked at the tired Lian Xin, who was holding a sphere in her hand, intended for playing recorded fragments.
“You’re watching this for the third time,” the corners of Lian Lin’s mouth twisted when she noticed admiration and love in the eyes of her younger sister: “Isn’t it time to take a break?”
“Hehe, sister, when you have a lover, you will understand my feelings. I can’t help but admire his skills and beauty,” Lian Xin said with obsession and love, constantly looking at the sphere.
Even when she answered her sister, she did not look away, so fascinated by this scene.
What is this scene? Well, someone decided to sell a recording of how the young man uses his skill.
As a result, the whole world was able to see the power of the Destroying Blade, who with one blow cut the city in half and destroyed countless monsters.
Information about this has already spread across all networks, causing many to admire and hold their breath in awe. Most experts praised the young man for his talent, for his skills and obvious diligence.
Many old swordsmen also noted that they were equally fascinated by the possibilities of this guy, and most of them envied him with white envy, striving to meet this person in person.
However, Xie Qing seemed to have evaporated, and nothing could be learned about his whereabouts. Therefore, many began to dig under him and learned about his affiliation with the Xie family.
And here begins the fun.
***
Yuguang City. Since the news of Xie Qing’s achievements spread across all continents, many families felt a huge and insurmountable figure looming behind them, holding a scythe in their hands.
All pressure on the Xie family has fallen away. No one wanted to provoke a potential genius, to whom many gave the second nickname “future Sovereign.”
Although, from the point of view of the other families, the Xie family should have stripped naked and waved their pants in the air from joy, there was surprisingly no news from them.
“What’s wrong with them? Don’t they want to use an obvious advantage?” people thought.
However, the situation was much more complicated than one might think. Xie Hui, upon learning of this, was in such shock that he lost consciousness.
Not to mention Xie Hai, who was shaking with fear and had not left the room for the second day.
Those who were involved in the attack on Xie Meiling also trembled with fear, feeling that their death was approaching.
Today the weather was gloomy, which fully embodied the situation of the Xie family. Especially this affected the council of elders.
For the first thirty minutes from the beginning of the meeting, they were silent, not knowing what to say. In the end, the chief elder sighed and announced:
“We are doomed.”
Of course, there was no need to explain the reason to the elders. They understood that before they had neglected this heir and even supported the candidacy of Xie Hui.
The attack on a legitimate member of the family in the person of Xie Meiling was also ignored. These old men behaved as if they had sclerosis and had completely forgotten about this woman.
And now, at the moment when they relaxed, the grim reaper raised his scythe and brought them closer to the well-fed throats of the elders.
Each felt a shiver run down their spine, and the cheerful and ominous laughter of the young man sounded in their ears.
Every night they slept and saw nightmares, and demons of the heart appeared to those guilty of attacking Xie Meiling.
Trembling. Fear. Despair.
What magnificent and diverse feelings. When these old men, eating first-class rice and well-fed pork, while hundreds of cultivators pursued Xie Meiling, enjoyed life…
They never expected that in the end, they would become well-fed pigs.
And now the question ripened
“What to do?”
“How can we keep our position… no, our lives?”
“Is there a chance… that we will survive?”
No.
No.
No.
You will not survive.
For above your heads stands an executioner with an evil smile.
Don’t you see how the sword blade gleams? Don’t you see your reflection in the blade? You… don’t hear how the blade is slowly and maliciously sharpened, which will pierce your neck?

“Garbage…”
Late at night, Xie Qing went for a walk. He felt that he was being followed for some time, and in the end, decided to go beyond the city limits, allegedly into the forest for berries, and the weather was good, and flowers could also be collected.
He just killed the cultivators who were following him at the second stage of the Nascent Soul, who wanted to find out more about him.
When he finished wiping his blade on their bodies, a notification came, which he ignored because he discovered something interesting.
“Token… hm, Viper emblem? This is the fucking Wei family!”
The Wei family. They are known for managing the underworld, and in principle, governing the clans of assassins.
However, this did not prevent them from wearing the status of a noble family and staying in the capital.
Most of these people also traded information, and it seemed, they were interested in him.
“Why did these people take the token with them? Did they think that my power would not be enough? Well, an ordinary cultivator at the first stage of the Nascent Soul is indeed in danger…” muttered Xie Qing and smiled, shaking his head, and his gaze stretched into the distance.
“!!!”
The shadows watching him instantly shuddered and disappeared. A carefree smile appeared on the young man’s face.
“I’ll gut your guts out and shove them deep down your throats, you sons of bitches.”
His voice reached the fleeing cultivators, who, although they were provoked by this, did not stop.
Their main goal was just surveillance, not battle. Moreover, this madman did not hesitate to kill even the reconnaissance of the Wei family, so what could be said?
“Tsk”.
Xie Qing shook his head, annoyedly clicking his tongue. He hoped that these people would be very kind and help him earn a little and kill them.
However, it seemed that not everyone was so careless and ran away at the first danger.
Xie Qing threw a glance at the two mutilated corpses and shook his head, sighing.
“Guys, you were too careless. And I hate it the most when I’m being followed.”
Xie Qing loved attention to himself… but it was unpleasant when every step was followed. He was on guard and, of course, did not relax.
“This is the price for fame. There will be a hunt for you,” a beautiful female voice sounded.
“Well, I expected this, so I’m just a little annoyed,” Xie Qing answered, rolling his eyes.
He looked back and saw that a woman in snow-white hanfu, which was covered in blood, came out of the shadow, and in her hand was a sword, on which two human heads were impaled.
Xie Meiling looked indifferently in the direction where the other stalkers had fled and shook her head.
With a light wave of her hand, she cut the heads in half, and then, tossing the sword into the air, used the Qi technique to make the sword levitate.
“Dao Technique – Cleansing,” she whispered.
Then, drop by drop, the blade began to be covered with silver liquid, and in the end, became clean. The blood disappeared.
“Well, the one who came up with this technique can make cultivators spit blood,” Xie Qing thought and rolled his eyes: “Seriously, using Dao techniques to create a cleaning technique? The heavens…”
Then, while Xie Meiling was busy cleaning, he stomped on the ground and created an impulse, grabbing the handle of the blade.
Then the young man looked at the notification.
[Nameless Sword has been upgraded].
