38 Xuanyang Sect on the Verge of Destruction
"Oh no…!"
A cry of surprise rang out.
In the city of Fallen Leaves.
In the Qin family's residence.
Inside a chamber.
A young girl suddenly sat up on the bed.
She appeared very young and beautiful, dressed in a white nightgown.
At this moment.
Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from her smooth forehead, as if she had just encountered something unpleasant in her dream.
"The Immortal King's Tribulation is indeed extraordinary, it's not something I can easily pass through," the young girl muttered to herself.
Before her words could fade away.
She furrowed her eyebrows and looked puzzled at her own hands, then lifted her head to scan the entire room.
"This is…," she murmured.
The young girl got off the bed, her pupils showing more and more astonishment.
"This is my chamber from when I was young? I had already left Fallen Leaves City ten thousand years ago, how could I reappear here?"
"And… What happened to my cultivation?"
"Why do I only have the cultivation of a Late Stage Qi Refining realm cultivator? What happened to the rest ?"
She clearly remembered that she had already become an immortal and was undergoing the Immortal King's Tribulation. But in the blink of an eye, she found herself back ten thousand years ago.
"An illusion?"
The young girl walked to the dressing table and ran her fingers over every item that she used to own, feeling the real touch of each, leaving no doubt about their authenticity.
Everything is real!
"Did I get reincarnated? Reincarnated back to ten thousand years ago?"
The young girl mumbled to herself, finding it hard to believe everything before her.
But even if she couldn't believe it, when the facts were laid out before her, she could only choose to believe it.
"Miss, are you okay?"
At this moment.
The maidservant in the outer room heard the commotion and asked.
"I'm fine," the young girl casually replied.
As if thinking of something, she asked again, "What day is it today?"
"Miss, today is the fourteenth day of the seventh month," the maidservant replied.
"What year is it?"
"Uh…"
The maidservant outside looked puzzled and a bit strange, but she still patiently answered, "Year 2020 in the Jing Yuan era."
Jing Yuan was the reign title of the current Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Great Zhou Dynasty's power was growing day by day, with an extensive territory. Even Xuanyang Sect, under the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, dared not act recklessly.
"Year 2020 in the Jing Yuan era."
The young girl stood by the window, gazing at the bright moon outside, and murmured, "I never expected to be reborn in this time period. Fate really plays tricks on people."
Moonlight spilled in.
Covered in a thin veil of silver, the girl's curvaceous figure made her seem untainted, like the most perfect piece of art crafted by the heavens.
She stood by the window, gazing blankly at the sky, lost in thought.
"Miss, you should rest. The eldest young master of the Li family might arrive in a few days."
The maidservant outside gently reminded her.
"The eldest young master of the Li family?"
The young girl was startled. These few unfamiliar yet familiar words stirred up her sealed memories.
If she recalled correctly, she seemed to have had an engagement with the eldest young master of the Li family in her youth.
However…
Later, she gained an astonishing opportunity, and her strength soared.
From the first day in Fallen Leave City, she soared to become one of the few unparalleled geniuses in the entire world. It was precisely because of this that the young master of the Li family was left far behind by her. After she became an emperor, he only managed to barely break through to the Life-Death Realm.
Later on, although they didn't go through the conventional trope of canceling their engagement, the marriage arrangement was essentially canceled. Both of them understood that the gap between them was too great, making it impossible for them to be together in this lifetime.
"If I remember correctly, that young master of the Li family seems to be called Li Xun," the girl murmured to herself.
"Yes, Miss really has a good memory. The patriarch only mentioned it once, and you remembered it," the maidservant's voice came from outside.
The girl smiled faintly and replied, "You can leave now."
"Yes," the maidservant responded, and her footsteps gradually faded away.
"Since I was reincarnated into the past, perhaps I can make up for some regrets from my previous life," the girl thought to herself after the maidservant left. She sat down in front of the dressing table, illuminated by the moonlight, looking at her youthful reflection in the mirror. She gently touched her own face and whispered to herself.
She remembered that her fiancé, Li Xun, was a disciple of the Xuanyang Sect. When he came to propose, he had just broken through to the Early Qi Refining Realm. His talent was not bad, but compared to top geniuses, he was nothing extraordinary.
"In about a thousand years, Xuanyang Sect is destined to be destroyed," she recalled.
In the future, for a thousand years, it would be a glorious era and a time when many powerful forces would rise. In her previous life, within Xuanyang Sect's domain, three unparalleled geniuses emerged—herself, Jiang Taixuan, and Ye Han. Anyone who heard of this would praise it as a land of exceptional talents.
Logically speaking, with three unparalleled geniuses arising within Xuanyang Sect, the sect could have grasped the opportunity to advance and thrive. However, dramatically, instead of capturing one of them, Xuanyang Sect offended one.
The one offended was the talented Ye Han.
It seemed that Ye Han had suffered some unfair treatment in Xuanyang Sect and, after rising to power, he had no goodwill towards the sect. There was even a bit of resentment.
Because of this, many forces sought to please Ye Han and directly planned to destroy Xuanyang Sect. When the time came for Xuanyang Sect's downfall, the Sect Leader at that time was a woman named Shen Yuluan. Although her strength was not weak, she couldn't withstand the numerous enemies and ultimately fell in defeat.
As for Li Xun, he had become an elder of Xuanyang Sect by that time. Since Xuanyang Sect was to be destroyed, how could he, as a high-ranking elder, escape from it?
By the time she heard about this matter, it was already a settled situation.
She had intended to save Li Xun, but it was already too late.
In the end, she had to take action personally and wipe out all the forces involved in Xuanyang Sect's destruction as an amend to to him.
This could be considered avenging Li Xun.
"In this new life, maybe I can give some guidance to Li Xun and prevent him from following the same path as in the previous life," the girl thought in her heart.
Time passed by gradually.
Not long after.
With the break of dawn, a new day arrived.
Outside the girl's chamber, the maidservant spoke again, "Miss, the young patriarch of the Chen family has come. It seems he has come to propose marriage…"
"Hmm?" The girl, who had been lost in her thoughts all night, suddenly came back to her senses.
Her fiancé was still seven days away from arriving in Fallen Leave City, but before that, there was a little incident in the Qin family. The young patriarch of the Chen family came to propose marriage but was promptly rejected by her father.
As a result, the young patriarch of the Chen family held a grudge and seemed to cause some disturbances afterward. However, by that time, she had already reached a substantial level of power and effortlessly resolved the situation.
In her previous life, she had never met the young patriarch of the Chen family, but this time it was different. With the experience of ten thousand years, she didn't mind eradicating future troubles at their inception.
Thinking about it, the girl got up, freshened up, and got dressed. After she was ready, she said, "Xiao Huan, take me to the front hall."
"Ah? Miss, you haven't officially debuted yet, so you shouldn't easily meet people," the maidservant protested.
"It's fine. We'll just observe from the shadows," the girl made up her mind. If the young patriarch of the Chen family had average strength, she would take the opportunity to kill him and save herself from future troubles.
