I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

51: You destroyed Nalan Ming with a single, casual breath!Prince Qians Residence.

”Your Highness, something has happened!”

”News has come from the Martial Temple. That young lord from Xuan Guang Cave is trying to force his way into the Dragon Transformation Pool. He is currently in a standoff with the people at the Martial Temple and has even injured someone. What should we do now?” the residence steward said in a panic.

Xia Qiankun frowned slightly, a look of contemplation appearing on his face.

”Is this the intention of the Azure Light Cave Master?”

”His Disciple is not a Body Cultivator, so why would he want to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool?”

”Is he trying to probe the current foundation of our Great Xia?”

”Forget it. Regardless, let him be. After all, bowing one’s head before Xuan Guang Cave is not considered shameful.” Xia Qiankun thought this to himself and made his decision.

He intended to go there personally to open the Martial Temple for him.

Just at this moment.

”Report!” A black shadow suddenly appeared and knelt on one knee.

”Your Highness, scouts have seen Her Highness the Princess and a young man and woman appearing on the North Street of the Imperial Capital, heading in the direction of the Martial Temple!”

Xia Qiankun’s face lit up with joy; finally, there was some good news.

”Let’s go!”

”To the Martial Temple!”

...

Shen Nian had previously thought that the Dragon Transformation Pool mentioned by Xia Youyue would be in some blessed land, but he did not expect it to be inside an ancestral hall.

And this ancestral hall was the Great Xia Martial Temple.

Led by Xia Youyue, Shen Nian saw the true appearance of the Great Xia Martial Temple from quite a distance away.

”This Martial Temple...” Shen Nian’s expression was somewhat strange. Even he, having seen countless skyscrapers, could not help but feel a bit surprised.

High!

It was truly high!

An ancient hall cast from bronze was supported by four precious wooden pillars, each fifty or sixty zhang long, as if it were about to pierce the clouds.

Shen Nian knew that building such a great hall was nothing special in this world, but he did not understand why it was built so high.

Just to show off?

”Eh, why are there so many people at the Martial Temple today?” Xia Youyue suddenly looked puzzled.

Beside her, Xiao Qinger’s expression changed slightly. Her jade-like fists clenched tightly, and her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at the man in the Deep Cold Red Armor, as if filled with boundless rage.

The humiliation of him coming to break off the engagement was still vivid in her mind!

”If the Azure Light Cave Master had come in person, I would have accepted it.”

”But a Junior like you is still lacking. You should go back, right?”

A somewhat desolate voice rang out, sounding quite old; one could tell immediately that it belonged to an old man.

At this moment, on an open space in front of the Martial Temple, an old man in a grey robe had an indifferent expression. His body was somewhat hunched, and he looked as if a breeze could blow him over, yet he made the bodies of the nearby Martial Temple Disciples tense up.

”Lord Yuan, Little Sanzi and the Demon Suppressing General who won the quota were both beaten into serious injuries by that brat. I fear they won’t be able to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool. Are we really just going to let him leave like this?” A middle-aged man walked up to the old man, gritting his teeth.

His gaze remained fixed on the man in red armor who was standing arrogantly in front of the Martial Temple.

Just today, everything at the Martial Temple was as usual, and the middle-aged man was following the rules to open the Dragon Transformation Pool for the Great Xia Prodigies who met the requirements.

However, he did not expect that a young Junior at the Late Golden Core Stage would dare to act recklessly and injure people in front of the Martial Temple. If not for the unique golden token of Xuan Guang Cave hanging from the other party’s waist, and being stopped by a voice transmission from the Temple Keeper, he would have already taken action.

The old man did not speak, his somewhat turbid grey eyes filled with gloom.

The middle-aged man understood something; his fists were clenched so tightly that the webbing between his thumbs and fingers bled, and he stood silently in place.

Over the years, Great Xia had become increasingly weak, relying on the Three Sects to survive under the invasion of the Yao Race. The other two sects were fine; the Heavenly Sword Sect only slew demons, and the Sunset Ancient Sect treated people peacefully. Only Xuan Guang Cave had been bullying Great Xia for years.

This was no longer a secret. In the years when the Heavenly Sword Sect was strong, Xuan Guang Cave had not been so arrogant. However, as the Sword Cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect suffered heavy casualties over the years, coupled with the emergence of many strong experts from Xuan Guang Cave, it gradually became the sole dominant power of Xuan Guang Cave, and even if the Heavenly Sword Sect wanted to help, they were sometimes powerless.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man finally revealed a sense of powerlessness, and his tightly clenched hand loosened...

”Go back?”

”Old man, are you joking?”

”I said it, I must go to the Dragon Transformation Pool today. This is an order, not a negotiation with you!”

”Also, I have been kind enough to follow your rules, haven’t I?”

”Don’t push your luck.”

Nalan Ming gripped the long blade in his hand, a look of displeasure on his face, and said contemptuously.

Boom!

A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the area, and this spiritual power caused Nalan Ming’s body to jolt violently.

This was the oppressive feeling of a High Realm Hunyuan Grandmaster!

However, Nalan Ming just revealed a faint smile, completely unafraid, and said: ”Old man, think clearly. My Revered Master is sitting right here in the Imperial Capital. Are you sure you want to tear your face off with my Xuan Guang Cave?”

Once these words were spoken, after just a moment, the pressure dissipated.

”Forget it, open it for him.” Old Yuan sighed deeply in his heart, feeling the angry figures behind him, and comforted them via voice transmission.

”Consider the big picture; our Great Xia cannot afford it...”

Those figures shouted angrily.

”We are both of the Human Race, why must it be like this!”

”Heh, in the eyes of the Cultivators of Xuan Guang Cave, are we considered the same race?”

”This ungrateful wolf, I remember he also came from Great Xia, right? He joined Xuan Guang Cave and forgot his roots. Truly a beast!”

These voices were not transmitted out. Nalan Ming just shrugged, watching these figures who were impotently furious.

However, just at this moment.

He suddenly sensed something, turned around to look, and was stunned for a moment.

”An acquaintance.”

”Tsk, tsk, tsk, recovered your cultivation? Foundation Establishment Stage, not bad. Are you here to find me to advance the three-year duel agreement?”

”Hahaha, why are you still the same as before, not even daring to say a few words? Not going to recite that ’thirty years east of the river’ thing again?”

”Yo, I didn’t notice. Which list is this pretty boy from? Hiss... Could it be that this pretty boy got you some Medicinal Pill to help you recover? Xiao Qinger, you really don’t have to debase yourself like this. It would be better to beg me; I can also help you, can’t I?”

”Hey, this pretty boy looks quite good, but he’s a bit too tender—a useless embroidered pillow. Which big clan’s treasure is he?”

”Hmm, I’m asking you a question. Not speaking? Pretending to be aloof?”

”You...”

The voice stopped abruptly. Nalan Ming only felt the world go black before his eyes, his head spinning, and his figure was sent flying by an aura like a dead dog.

Bang!

His body fell onto the main street of the Imperial Capital, leaving him with only a breath of life. The Deep Cold Red Armor that his Revered Master had bestowed upon him, which could block a blow from a Soul Transformation expert, had already shattered, revealing his blood-soaked upper body, his face full of disbelief.

Soul Transformation!

This young man in white is a Soul Transformation expert!

The next second!

Nalan Ming was completely stunned, and then let out a heart-wrenching scream.

”Ah!!!”

”You crippled me!”

The Golden Core inside his body had shattered; he had become a cripple. If not for that red armor, he would have already been a mist of blood by now.

At this moment, everyone at the Martial Temple held their breath.

This sudden turn of events left them unable to react in time.

Temple Keeper Yuan was the first to regain his senses. He immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands with an unchanged expression, and said: ”Yuan Hong greets Senior.”

”Lord Yuan, this is my Senior Brother, Shen Nian, the Chief of the Ninth Mountain of the Heavenly Sword Sect.” Xia Youyue also reacted and quickly stepped forward to explain.

”Ninth Mountain... Chief?” Temple Keeper Yuan’s eyes widened.

And the anger on the face of Xiao Qinger, who was behind Shen Nian, disappeared, replaced by a look of astonishment.

”Was it Senior Brother... who made a move?”

The voice of the Female Yan Emperor also rang out.

”To be able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to this extent just after entering the Soul Transformation stage, simply a Prodigy!”

”Girl, we must hold onto this thigh tightly!”

”Hmm?”

”What is your Senior Brother trying to do?”

At this moment, the System’s voice rang out in Shen Nian’s mind, and his expression sank.

[Ding, because your casual aura ruined Nalan Ming, causing the fated female protagonist Xiao Qinger to be unable to normally unlock her life achievement and eliminate her Heart Demon, but it is still considered completing the plot process, so you can only be rewarded: 50 points of preaching value.]

Oh no!

I was impulsive!

System, you damn well should have told me earlier!

The next second.

Shen Nian reached out and grabbed sharply. Nalan Ming, who was still screaming, felt his neck being gripped like a little chick, nearly fainting, but he vaguely heard a voice coming to his ears, looking completely bewildered.

”Eat this!”
