Chapter 722: Chapter 722 (Vol 3) – The Rumored Senior Martial Sister (II)

"Cultivation Essence Giant Hand!"

Ge Lian exclaimed in terror as she was caught by the cultivation essence giant hand. Her attempt to escape vanished and she lost all trace of hope. Her consciousness only thought of how Xuanyuan Ling whom she had not even seen in many months could make such a move, demonstrating the terrifying level of her cultivation.

"Huh?"

"What's going on?"

"Where did the cultivation essence giant hand come from? Could it be some elder who came back earlier and helped?"

"How is it that Senior Martial Sister Ling can cause the cultivation essence giant hand to appear?"

"My eyes don't deceive me? Sister Ling really can make this move? That means her cultivation..."

"Her cultivation has reached an unimaginable height! The goal we all want to achieve!"

"Will it be that she has been hiding her cultivation all this time? That has to be it!"

Murmurs of confusion quickly turned to exclamations and cheers among the Hong Xian'er group, looking at Xuanyuan Ling with admiration and vehemence.

"S-senior martial sister Xuanyuan Ling has reached the Great Ascension stage? Wasn't she supposed to be just at the Nascent Soul stage?"

Hong Xian'er murmured in stupefaction, her voice trembling as she watched Xuanyuan Ling demonstrate such supreme power that only the world's great experts have. With this strength, she could despise the world and be worshipped by everyone.

"This is impossible! How could junior sister have such power? She was a mere cultivator in the Nascent Soul realm! It must be a farce!"

An older woman in her thirties exclaimed in terror, pointing at Xuanyuan Ling . Her body trembled as horror perfectly filled her face, as if she had seen her end . She couldn't believe that this very young woman who had been cultivating for less time than her could have such power .

The other women beside her were also in complete silence, staring in horror and fear at Xuanyuan Ling. But despite this no one dared to leave for fear of attracting Xuanyuan Ling's attention.

Ge Lian remained silent. She was certain that this force was more powerful than her Master's.

"Big Sister Ling attained the same power as the Masters!" Jia Chenruo exclaimed with joy.

"Although I don't know if it's really the same level, I'm sure that elder sister is very powerful like the Masters!" Jia Chenxin nodded at her twin sister's comment. Her eyes sparkled with adoration and excitement the more she looked at Xuanyuan Ling.

Pang Wuya, An Qinmeng and An Yuqing were dumbfounded still. They really knew that Xuanyuan Ling's cultivation the last time they saw her was at the Nascent Soul stage and was not a fake level, so they could not understand how this martial sister could have reached the terrifying Great Ascension stage in just a few months. It is common knowledge that even the great and true geniuses in the annals of history have reached the Great Ascension state in only about 500 years!

The cultivation essence giant hand moved and pulled Ge Lian in front of Xuanyuan Ling.

"You dare to attack my friends, my precious companions, one of my favorite places, and when you see that the situation is bad you actually run away thinking that you could escape? Now even your Master couldn't save you if I wanted to kill you!"

Xuanyuan Ling looked coldly at Ge Lian and commented angrily, even to the point of saying the same words to her that she had said to Pang Wuya and the others before she arrived and intervened.

Ge Lian remained completely silent, but with her blank stare filled with fear, not daring to look directly at Xuanyuan Ling. She knew that even if her Master arrived she wouldn't be able to save herself, after all, her Master was barely at the stage of the Separation and Reunion realm. A cultivator at the Separation and Reunion stage could never win against a cultivator at the Great Ascension stage; this was an undeniable truth.

* Crack! *

Suddenly, a characteristic cracking sound that most women had ever heard in their lives reached their ears.

"No!" Ge Lian screamed in terror and despair as she felt her energies drain from her body. Her meridians shattered and her dantian shattered into dust, therefore she was unable to control any energy that escaped from her body and fell to her knees on the ground. Her appearance aged from a young and beautiful woman to that of an adult woman over 50, almost turning into an old woman with partially white hair and dry, wrinkled skin.

Jing Yuzheng and the others breathed coldly, fear and terror engulfing their bodies as they saw that Xuanyuan Ling had turned Ge Lian into a cripple!

"Do you think I would let you go after hurting my dear martial sisters so much? Because of you many of them died and now you wanted to get rid of the remaining ones?"

Xuanyuan Ling shouted coldly, taking no mercy on Ge Lian and destroying her cultivation. With her cultivation base in the Great Ascension state, it was as easy to destroy Ge Lian's cultivation as it was to breathe, turning her into a cripple. Xuanyuan Ling knew that this woman who was a cultivation fellow before had killed several senior martial companions after she and her Masters left, turning the Sect into the place of her domain and deciding over the lives of all the other women!

"Take her away! And I don't want to see any of you here! You don't deserve to be disciples of the Sect!" Xuanyuan Ling spat coldly, converging her aura and allowing the other women to move freely.

Jing Yuzheng, as well as the other women looked at Ge Lian who had lost the look in her eyes, as if there was no more life within her soul. 

"Do you want me to turn all of you into cripples too?" Xuanyuan Ling frowned, bringing most of the women out of their confused states. If they stayed in this place any longer, she would not hesitate to cripple them as well.

Quickly the women on Ge Lian's side moved in fear, trembling as they lowered their gazes and avoided making contact with Xuanyuan Ling. But most of them were hesitant to leave.

In the end, all of them left. But the look on Jing Yuzheng and all the other women clearly showed regret, hesitation and fear, regretting inwardly. If they had not betrayed Pang Wuya and the others and followed Ge Lian, wouldn't their place be on the other side, feeling confident and secure in the knowledge that their great Masters would be back? But unfortunately there was no medicine for regret...

Xuanyuan Ling kept her gaze cold until the last figure of them was no longer in sight. She gave a sigh and turned to look at Pang Wuya, An Qinmeng, An Yuqing and the other women.

"Sisters... I'm back." Xuanyuan Ling smiled slightly, but also showing an expression of guilt and sadness. She clearly learned everything that happened in the sect in the past few months, so she felt that she had guilt in large part for abandoning these women who were very precious and dear friends.

"Welcome back, Great Sister Ling!"

But unexpectedly, Pang Wuya, An Qinmeng and An Yuqing shook their heads and greeted her happily. None of them showed any signs of reproach or anger toward her, but pure joy and relief to see her again.

The other women also smiled and welcomed Xuanyuan Ling, surrounding her with fervent looks full of admiration.

"This is the power of Senior Sister Xuanyuan... as well as the prestige and admiration of the strong!" Hong Xian'er whispered inwardly as she gazed in amazement at Xuanyuan Ling, realizing that she seemed to be from the same generation as her.

"Elder sister Ling is a true genius in cultivation!" Jia Chenxin added with a smile at Hong Xian'er's whisper, and Jia Chenruo added, "Although we have known that she has had many opportunities to increase her cultivation quickly, big sister has shown firm character and resolve in cultivating slowly but with great confidence and perfection in every step she takes. Even she had beaten several senior martial sisters in the past even with one or two cultivation stages apart!"

Both twin sisters added with fascination as they watched Xuanyuan Ling. In their minds they had great adoration towards this martial sister who since they met her became their role model.

Hong Xian'er was amazed by everything she learned from Xuanyuan Ling. This woman really is amazing and especially more so that she had reached an unimaginable height.

Xuanyuan Ling greeted all the women with a small but gentle smile. But in spite of that, no one frowned. Each of the women who knew Xuanyuan Ling knew that this wonderful young woman did not show much expression, but when she showed a little to the point of smiling slightly it was that she really showed her feelings of happiness, friendship and affection towards them.

"What are you all doing here? Junior sister Rou told me that all of you kept cultivating in the residences behind closed doors to avoid attracting the attention of Ge Lian or the others." Xuanyuan Ling proceeded to ask curiously. She understood that almost all of the female disciples who did not betray their Masters' trust continued to cultivate with a little hope that they would return, that way they would keep their place in the sect to regain again.

"Huh? Ah! We're here because we found a new junior martial brother who had just arrived!" Pang Wuya replied with a smile and proceeded to look for Ling Tian, "By the way, where is he?" 

"A junior martial brother?" Xuanyuan Ling was surprised to hear Pang Wuya.

"Yes! In fact, he was recommended by Elder Lu Wuhu!" Jia Chenxin exclaimed cheerfully as well.

"You may know him, big sister Ling!" Jia Chenruo added in the same manner as her older sister and pointed at Ling Tian.

"Recommended by Master Lu?" Xuanyuan Ling finally frowned at the thought that it might be a misunderstanding. None of her Masters had recently accepted any personal disciples, all they had done was to have entered other worlds and fallen into a small world where they found the Grandmaster and from there returned back to this place again. Therefore it could be someone who borrowed Lu Wuhu's name to infiltrate this sect. If so, Xuanyuan Ling would not allow someone to use the identity or name of her respected Masters!

"Who..."

Xuanyuan Ling's gaze turned cold in an instant as she began to look for the supposed new junior martial brother. But her gaze froze and shock hit her fiercely as she finally found the imposter, her beautiful face stunned as her voice got stuck in her throat.

Xuanyuan Ling looked dumbfounded at Ling Tian, who was smiling cheerfully at her with a playful touch full of curiosity.
