Chapter 1091: Unrelenting In Power

Three days later.

A figure clad in a floor-length black dress stepped out of the cave. Her perfect curves were wrapped just right, exuding an alluring charm, like a blooming black rose with thorns.

Her once familiar face no longer carried the gentleness of the past. Instead, it was now filled with a cold, ruthless demeanor. A palpable aura of killing intent surrounded her, making her seem like a completely different person from the one in memory.

Xu Linger, a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Heavenly Sect who had just landed, was so shocked that she could barely manage to bow in greeting.

"Se... Senior Sister?"

Lu Caiwei coldly lowered her gaze, her seductive voice laced with frost.

"Oh? So it's you."

"It took you so long to find me. It seems you no longer have any respect for me as your senior sister."

Under the cold stare, the young girl trembled in fear.

"Se... Senior Sister, it's not like that..."

Before she could finish, she was suddenly pulled forward by an invisible, terrifying force!

She struggled with all her might, but it was futile.

"No! Senior Sister!"

In an instant!

She was in Lu Caiwei's grasp.

Despite being a Second-Level Saint, she was as powerless as a lamb!

Her Dao power and life force drained away like water. The girl's eyes were filled with terror as her body visibly withered and shrank. Her cries gradually faded into the howling wind and snow...

In the end, only a few plain garments remained, fluttering in the wind and snow.

Feeling the surge of immense power within her, Lu Caiwei tilted her head back, a look of pure enjoyment on her face.

"This kind of power... it's truly intoxicating..."

She discarded the clothes in her hand, her beautiful eyes now filled with ruthless determination.

"From now on, I am the number one in the Southern Li Heavenly Domain!"

"Everything that belongs to me will be taken back. Those two so-called 'prodigies' who rely on luck don't deserve their titles. All the humiliation I suffered will be repaid a thousandfold!"

Clenching her right hand, which was covered in a black gauze glove, Lu Caiwei's eyes brimmed with confidence.

"No matter what advantages they have, no matter what forces back them, in the face of the power I now possess, they are nothing but ants. I can crush them with a single hand!"

"Hahaha..."

Her seductive laughter echoed, pushing back the wind and snow with its terrifying aura.

Lu Caiwei laughed wildly, waving her hand to disperse the snowstorm.

She examined her jade-like hand, feeling the immense power within her. A confident glow lit up her face.

"With this kind of power, I will undoubtedly become a peerless prodigy revered for generations! Those two bitches will be trampled under my feet!"

In her consciousness, a swirling black mist let out a hoarse laugh.

"Ke ke ke..."

"You have inherited the legacy of my demon race. This power is just the beginning. Your future growth will far exceed your imagination. Standing atop the stars is within your reach."

"Your enemies are mere early-stage Heavenly Rank cultivators. They are not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as you. I will rest and recuperate for a while. Go and fulfill your desires for now..."

The hoarse voice grew weaker, and the black mist in her consciousness fell silent.

Hearing this, Lu Caiwei's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Standing atop the stars..."

"This... this is the true opportunity!"

"Zhongli Meng, Qing Yin Xianyun, it's too late for you to regret now. I will make you kneel and beg for mercy! The path to becoming a peerless prodigy revered for generations starts with you!"

A sinister smile spread across her cold face as Lu Caiwei vanished into the void.

With her strength now at the early-stage Heavenly Rank and her spiritual sense expanded a hundredfold, she could perceive every sound and conversation around her.

Every figure darting through the sky was within her perception.

Feeling the overwhelming sense of control, Lu Caiwei's lips curled into a slight smile. She had been reborn, and now she could look down upon the entire Southern Li Heavenly Domain.

She was confident that even the old monsters of the Heavenly Sects would not be able to stand against her.

And this was just the beginning. The demon race's legacy was truly terrifying. Her future was limitless.

The day to wash away her shame had come!

Her newfound power fueled her ambition, and she eagerly sped toward the Moon God Pavilion.

Suddenly.

Several figures were seen rushing through the low sky, seemingly in a hurry.

The crowd continued to grow, and the discussions became more heated.

"Saintess Qing Yin is at the Heavenly Blade Sect ahead!"

"Is that true?!"

"The Heavenly Blade Sect has already pledged allegiance to the Moon God Pavilion. It's said that Saintess Qing Yin Xianyun personally came to receive them. I heard this with my own ears!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry and pay our respects. Who knows, maybe one day we'll all be under the Moon God Pavilion. It's good to get acquainted early!"

"This is truly a great honor. If I can catch a glimpse of the Saintess, my life will be complete!"

"Damn it! You bastard, you're trying to get ahead of me!"

...

Lu Caiwei sensed all of this, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Qing Yin Xianyun is actually here? This is perfect! I won't have to travel all the way to the Moon God Pavilion."

Looking down at the dozens of figures rushing forward, Lu Caiwei lowered her gaze for a moment, a look of disdain on her face.

"Hmph, the world is full of sycophants and lechers!"

"Today, I will show you what a true prodigy looks like. Your so-called Saintess is nothing but a bitch who will be trampled under my feet!"

With a cold glance, Lu Caiwei flew forward with an air of arrogance.

A black streak of light tore through the sky, exuding a terrifying aura that caused many to look up in shock and awe.

...

Heavenly Blade Sect.

The allegiance ceremony had just concluded, but the sect's entrance was still packed with people.

Sect Master Feng Sandao personally escorted the guests out, bowing humbly.

"Saintess, your presence has overwhelmed us."

"From now on, the Heavenly Blade Sect will obey the Moon God Pavilion's every command. Whatever you ask, we will not hesitate. Our loyalty is as solid as the heavens and earth!"

Qing Yin Xianyun, dressed in a plain long dress, gracefully returned the bow.

"Sect Master, you flatter me."

Her gentle words carried no arrogance, instead exuding a sense of approachability. Paired with her spotless dress and peerless beauty, it immediately drew admiration from the crowd.

"The Heavenly Blade Sect has made a wise choice. By aligning with the Moon God Pavilion, they will become one of the founding sects. Given the Moon God Pavilion's recent rise, the Heavenly Blade Sect's future is bright."

"Exactly. Saintess Qing Yin's cultivation and talent are unparalleled, yet she remains so humble. Such grace and demeanor are unmatched. The Heavenly Blade Sect has a sharp eye!"

"The Moon God Pavilion is on the rise, and the Saintess's future is limitless!"

"Saintess Qing Yin truly lives up to her reputation as a prodigy!"

Amidst the respectful discussions, the atmosphere was filled with joy.

Qing Yin Xianyun nodded modestly, acknowledging the guests with grace. Her every word and action upheld her dignity, further enhancing the Moon God Pavilion's reputation and paving the way toward becoming a top-tier sect.

Just as she was descending the jade steps.

Suddenly!

A black streak of light exploded before her eyes!

A terrifying aura spread in all directions, and the pressure was unlike anything they had felt before. The guests' faces turned pale, and the Heavenly Blade Sect members were filled with dread, as if a supreme expert had arrived!

"Whoosh!!!"

The force was like a raging storm, pushing back hundreds of people.

Qing Yin Xianyun quickly waved her sleeve, managing to block the terrifying pressure.

When the light dissipated, a cold and beautiful figure appeared!

A black dress that reached the ground, hair like a waterfall.

Her well-proportioned figure was perfectly outlined by the dazzling black dress, her jade-like legs faintly visible. At first glance, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Such a stunning beauty was unexpected, yet her entire being exuded an icy coldness that left the surrounding guests in awe.

It wasn't until they clearly saw her face that they froze in place. Even though their eyes burned with admiration, no one dared to speak.

Only Qing Yin Xianyun, with a look of surprise, tentatively bowed.

"Senior Sister Lu?"

Although her demeanor had changed drastically, and her green dress had been replaced with a cold black one, Qing Yin Xianyun could still recognize that beautiful face.

Hundreds of years ago, during a sect competition, Lu Caiwei had stunned the entire audience, earning the title of prodigy. As a senior of the same generation, Qing Yin Xianyun still remembered her vividly.

Hearing this, Lu Caiwei sneered, her eyes filled with disdain.

"Qing Yin Xianyun, you are now one of the famous 'Twin Prodigies of Southern Li.' How could I, Lu Caiwei, dare to accept your title of 'Senior Sister'?"

Her seductive voice echoed, and Qing Yin Xianyun felt a sense of foreboding.

A woman's intuition told her that the newcomer was filled with jealousy and likely harbored ill intentions. Noticing the drastic change in her demeanor and attire, which now exuded a cold and sinister aura, Qing Yin Xianyun became even more cautious.

With a graceful nod, Qing Yin Xianyun spoke politely.

"Senior Sister, you exaggerate. These are just empty titles."

In the midst of their exchange, the surrounding guests finally regained their composure, and whispers began to spread.

"Isn't that... the former Lu Caiwei?"

"One of the three prodigies who were once on par with the Saintess?"

"No wonder the Saintess called her 'Senior Sister.' They're old acquaintances!"

"Eh? This Lady Lu is so stunning, seemingly no less beautiful than before. How did she suddenly fall out of the limelight? No one has mentioned her recently."

"Tch, beauty alone doesn't make a prodigy. Without cultivation and grace, it's all for naught. Even if she was somewhat famous hundreds of years ago, that's all in the past."

"True, many prodigies are just flashes in the pan. It's all too common!"

The hushed discussions grew increasingly harsh.

Such was the nature of the world, especially in a realm where strength was revered.

Qing Yin Xianyun sensed the growing tension and forced a smile to ease the situation.

"Senior Sister Lu, these are just worldly titles. From the competition back then to now, I have always believed that you are the true prodigy of our generation. I dare not compare myself to you."

Since her recent breakthrough, her mindset had changed drastically. Bearing the expectations of the Moon God Pavilion, her focus was solely on cultivation. The dream of becoming a top-tier sect was still far off, and she had no time to care about other matters.

The so-called fame was already like a passing cloud.

Her words drew another wave of admiration.

At the same time, Lu Caiwei's expression turned even colder, and a menacing smile spread across her face.

"Hmph."

"You think so?"

"You may say that, but deep down, you might not mean it! No need for more words. Who the true prodigy is will be decided in a match. What belongs to me, no one can take away!"

Her cold voice, accompanied by a terrifying aura, spread across the scene, causing everyone's expressions to change drastically!
