Bone-stripping and tendon-pulling? The reborn senior sister becomes the number one cultivator in the

Chapter 133 Goodbye, Yu Qing

Tian Ruochun stared at Xie Wanning in disbelief, completely overwhelmed by shock.

Xie Wanning casually drew a defensive magic circle to protect Tian Ruochun, then picked up the Luoze Sword to face the menacing puppet.

With a wave of her hand, hundreds of sword phantoms suddenly appeared around her, trembling violently like tigers about to leap out.

Xie Wanning made a sword incantation with one hand: "Move!"

Suddenly, all the flying swords flew towards the puppet at once, as fierce as a storm.

Xie Wanning stepped onto a flying sword, twirling it in her hand. With a flick of her wrist, three giant swords appeared simultaneously in the sky above her domain, crashing down on the puppet.

The puppet couldn't withstand the flying sword's attack. She took out a teleportation talisman to try to escape, but then she heard a "Break Ice" sound. Countless tiny ice blades instantly pierced her body. After the continuous stream of ice blades entangled her, the puppet was completely unable to move.

The three giant swords pierced straight through the puppet's body.

Immediately afterwards, ten Rank 8 Flame Talismans suddenly stuck to the puppet's body, and amidst a series of explosions, the puppet turned to ashes and disappeared from the spot.

Xie Wanning breathed a sigh of relief. As she turned around, a figure rushed into her arms. Tian Ruochun cried out in a hoarse voice, "Sister Wanning, it really is you! You're finally back..."

Tian Ruochun couldn't continue speaking, because her words were completely drowned out by her sobs.

Xie Wanning stroked Tian Ruochun's head and comforted her, "It's alright, Xiao Tian. I'm back, and I won't leave again."

Tian Ruochun hugged Xie Wanning tightly, refusing to let go, tears of joy streaming down her face.

Xie Wanning looked at Tian Ruochun, who had let down her guard, and felt both surprised and heartbroken.

Her Xiaotian has never changed; she has only been forcibly pretending to be someone else.

She's back, and Xiaotian will no longer be in any danger.

Finally, Tian Ruochun released Xie Wanning, and she couldn't help but smile brightly, a smile as radiant as the sun back then.

The puppet died, and this domain couldn't last long; it vanished in an instant.

Just as the domain disappeared, a talisman radiating golden light suddenly appeared in Tian Ruochun's hand. It was a top-grade ninth-rank substitute talisman.

Upon seeing the talisman, Tian Ruochun was slightly taken aback, and then a deep sense of reluctance and longing welled up in her eyes.

“My aunt hasn’t forgotten me.”

She always remembers you.

When the domain completely disappeared, Xie Wanning heard no more sounds of fighting around her, only sparse sobbing.

She looked around and found only a handful of elders, all of whom were seriously injured, while the Black Sea was turning a dark red.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on an elder who was holding a girl whose hands hung limply at his sides and whose body remained still.

Xie Wanning rubbed her eyes with difficulty and slowly approached the elder.

She finally saw the girl clearly. She was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a round face but no color in it, and her eyes were tightly closed. Her heart and abdomen were stained with blood, indicating that she had suffered extremely serious injuries.

The girl had already stopped breathing and was lying in the elder's arms.

Xie Wanning was so shocked and grief-stricken that she couldn't walk away for a long time. At this moment, someone suddenly bumped into Xie Wanning. The moment he saw the girl, he shouted at the sky with a heart-wrenching voice, "Junior Sister!"

He reached out his trembling hand to touch the girl, but could only feel her body temperature gradually decreasing.

"Junior Sister, please open your eyes and look at me, okay? I'm your senior brother! Your senior brother has come to take you back to the sect, okay?" His sorrowful and desperate voice reached the ears of everyone present, but no one knew how to comfort this young man who was on the verge of collapse.

The girl could no longer answer her senior brother's question; she had left forever.

Sudden.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

The boy slapped himself twice with a crisp sound. Tears streamed down his face like water from a broken bottle. His voice was hoarse as he said, "It's all my fault, Senior Brother. I didn't watch over you properly and couldn't stop you from coming to save Elder Liu. It's all my fault, Junior Sister. Please open your eyes and look at me. You can hit me or scold me, but please don't... don't abandon me like Junior Brother Yu did!"

The boy kept slapping himself, his cheeks swelling up, as if trying to get the girl to open her eyes and comfort him.

The elder of the Tianyan Sect trembled a few times before finally saying, "Lin Hao, stop! There's no point in you torturing yourself like this."

Lin Hao still didn't stop: "It's my fault. I failed to protect my junior sister and I failed to resolve her inner conflict, which led to her leaving the team to find Elder Liu!"

"Lin Hao!"

Lin Hao completely ignored the elder's advice. Just as he raised his hand, a strong hand grabbed it.

Lin Hao looked up and saw a pair of eyes glaring angrily at him.

"Lin Hao, do you think Junior Sister Yu Qing would want to see you give up on yourself? Cheer up, you can't fall down." Xie Wan Ning's eyes were bright. She forced back the sorrow in her heart and just wanted to comfort the person in front of her.

Lin Hao's eyes were lifeless. He said weakly, "Junior Brother Yu, Junior Sister and the others saved me and treated me like their own brother, but I couldn't protect any of them. I'm useless, so..."

"Slap!" A heavy slap landed on Lin Hao's face, leaving his mind blank.

"As the eldest brother, you should act like one. Yu Qing and her brother both sacrificed themselves to fight demons and protect the righteous path. Instead of being depressed, why don't you go kill a few more demonic cultivators!" Xie Wanning roared.

Her sorrowful gaze fell upon Yu Qing, the child who had once promised her to "kill the demonic cultivator and avenge her brother," but who ultimately died at the hands of the demonic cultivator.

She and Yu Qing had only just met in the sect competition, and this child, so young, was about to join the battlefield and die to defend the righteous path.

Xie Wanning approached the elder of Tianyan Sect and saw Yu Qing's small figure clearly. The girl who had bravely rushed over had died in front of her.

On Yu Qing's waist, the score stone displayed the number 185. In just two days, she, a mere talisman cultivator, had killed so many demonic cultivators. How much power must she have expended, and how many injuries must she have sustained?

Lin Hao calmed down and reached out to take Yu Qing's hand.

As he took Xie Wanning's hand, he paused for a moment and said, "I will avenge Junior Sister and Junior Brother Yu. I will become a qualified elder brother. Thank you."

Xie Wanning reached into her storage bag and took out an eighth-grade spirit-gathering herb, placing it on Yu Qing's body. After taking one last look at her, Xie Wanning left.

Tian Ruochun supported Xie Wanning with concern and whispered comforting words, "Sister Wanning, everything will pass."

"Ah."

Everything will pass, but the memories can never be erased.

When the group returned to the shore of the Black Sea, they discovered that the sect's nearly one thousand disciples had dwindled to just a few hundred.

Even the leading elders of the eight major sects are reduced to only three, not to mention the elders of the smaller sects, almost none of whom survived.

With Tian Ruochun's help, Xie Wanning returned to the place where the Muxue Sect disciples were located.

She lay down directly on the shore, looking at the dark sky and the faint flashes of lightning.

Tian Ruochun sat down beside her and sighed softly.

The two didn't say much, only the quiet sound of the waves crashing against the shore.

Soon, Shen Yuan will arrive. Will they still be able to survive?
