Daily Intelligence: Start by Obtaining the Sword Saint's Legacy

154: Zhou Duoer’s true strength”If anyone takes another step forward, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

”You bastard, Han Yue! If you have a problem, come at me!”

Zi Yun’s expression turned even more somber.

”If you dare touch a hair on her head, I will certainly tear you into ten thousand pieces.”

The reason the two women were so kind to Zhou Duoer was not just because she belonged to Chen Xian, but also because it was truly not easy for a young girl to reach this stage.

They couldn’t help but feel a sense of compassion in their hearts.

Therefore, seeing Zhou Duoer in trouble, they would absolutely not stand by and watch.

Han Yue looked at the two women, glancing left and right.

A lewd smile appeared on his face.

”Today really is a good day. I didn’t expect to run into two beauties at once. I can enjoy both of them now.”

The Cultivators following behind Han Yue all burst into laughter as well.

”Senior Brother, hurry up and make your move. The brothers can’t wait any longer.”

”Hahahaha! Once I’m done enjoying them, I’ll let you all have a taste!”

”After all, we share our blessings together!”

The group followed with more laughter.

As Han Yue spoke, he drew the sword from his waist and held it against Zhou Duoer’s neck.

”You two, take off your clothes right now. Otherwise, I’ll separate her head from her body immediately.”

”You...”

”You...”

The two women were fuming with rage, but at this moment, they were helpless.

However, just then, a voice came from inside the valley.

”Duoer, you can use your full strength now.”

Chen Xian’s voice echoed from within.

Before Han Yue could understand what was happening...

...he suddenly felt a powerful Protective Aura erupt from her body.

First Layer of Qi Refining!

Qi Refining Second Layer!

Qi Refining Third Layer!

...Foundation Establishment Stage Level One!

Foundation Establishment Stage Level Two!

...Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer!

This aura instantly left everyone present dumbfounded.

Before Han Yue could even figure out what was going on, he was blown away by this powerful Protective Aura.

Shua!

Immediately after, Zhou Duoer drew the sword from her waist.

Her expression was cold and ruthless; before Han Yue could even hit the ground...

A domineering strand of Sword Qi pierced through his body.

Puchi.

Han Yue didn’t even get to say any last words. The moment he hit the ground, his eyes were wide open, and his breath was gone.

When the crowd saw this scene, their eyes nearly popped out of their heads.

None of them could believe what they were seeing.

Especially Ning Linger and Zi Yun.

In their eyes, Zhou Duoer was just a small maidservant of Chen Xian.

Serving tea and pouring water on a daily basis was fine.

But that sword strike just now was actually unleashed by her.

While everyone was stunned...

Zhou Duoer did not hesitate.

Instead, she charged straight toward Han Yue’s group of Junior Brothers.

Amidst a flash of sword light...

Everyone only heard a series of screams.

The moment Zhou Duoer sheathed her sword...

The crowd saw nothing but corpses strewn across the ground.

The group stared blankly at Zhou Duoer’s small figure.

”She’s actually at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer!”

”Such a young child actually has such strength; even the Core Disciples of the Sect probably can’t keep up!”

”Most importantly, she’s been serving as Chen Xian’s maidservant without a word.”

”If even his maidservant is at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, I wonder how strong Chen Xian really is!”

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, Zhou Duoer slowly walked up to Ning Linger.

”Sister Linger, I didn’t expect you all to come to this Danger Zone as well.”

Ning Linger nodded somewhat awkwardly.

In truth, given the Sect’s strength and their own capabilities, it was somewhat risky for the Xun Sheng Sect to come to this Danger Zone.

But Ning Linger happened to have a competitive heart.

Therefore, she took the risk, thinking of entering the Danger Zone to try her luck.

She hadn’t expected to encounter the Xun Sheng Sect’s arch-rivals and nearly lose her life.

Now, seeing Zhou Duoer’s strength...

Ning Linger’s heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions.

She had once looked down on Chen Xian and his group, believing him to be nothing more than a legendary second generation ancestor.

She thought Zhou Duoer was just an insignificant maidservant; even when she wanted to save Zhou Duoer, her only thought was not to involve an innocent person.

But after seeing how strong Zhou Duoer was...

Ning Linger’s heart was in a state of upheaval.

She had severely underestimated this second generation ancestor; what kind of master could allow a teenage girl to possess such strength?

”The Danger Zone is still very dangerous. You can follow the Young Lord’s map; perhaps it can help you avoid many dangers.”

Hearing this, Ning Linger’s heart skipped a beat.

Back then, the Jade Slip Chen Xian gave her did indeed contain a map.

It was just that she hadn’t paid any attention to it at all.

Looking at it now, could that map actually be real?

After saying this, Zhou Duoer slowly walked over to Zi Yun.

”Sister Zi Yun, let’s go inside.”

Zi Yun gave Ning Linger and the others a meaningful look.

Then, she entered the valley with Zhou Duoer.

Seeing this, the people from the Xun Sheng Sect asked in a low voice, ”Eldest Senior Sister, should we follow them inside?”

Ning Linger gave a bitter smile.

”Forget it, let’s go.”

If Chen Xian truly wanted to invite them, he certainly wouldn’t have avoided showing himself.

Since Chen Xian had not appeared even now, it was clear that his attitude toward them was merely one of indifference.

There was no need for them to press their warm faces against someone’s cold buttocks.

Of course, Ning Linger held no resentment toward Chen Xian in her heart.

As the Eldest Senior Sister of a second-rate Sect, she understood the ways of the world better than many of those so-called aloof Prodigies.

Chen Xian saving her was not out of love, nor was it due to any other relationship.

It was merely a casual act of convenience.

If she followed him, it would only cause inconvenience for them.

Especially with this map, they could navigate the Shanhai Secret Realm much more smoothly.

Ning Linger gave a deep bow toward the valley.

”Thank you for today!”

Then, she hurriedly left with the people from the Xun Sheng Sect.

Meanwhile...

Zi Yun and Zhou Duoer had returned to the valley.

”Why didn’t you let them in?”

Hearing Zi Yun’s question, Chen Xian said calmly, ”It’s for their own good.”

”Hmm?”

”In a while, we’ll be waiting for a few enemies. If they were here, they would only be dragged into it. With their current strength, getting involved would undoubtedly be seeking death.”

Hearing this, Zi Yun nodded thoughtfully.

She sat cross-legged on a large rock to recover her strength.

As for Zhou Duoer, under everyone’s watchful eyes...

She obediently sat down beside Chen Xian again.

If the crowd hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they probably wouldn’t have believed it even if they were beaten to death—that this little girl was actually a powerhouse at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer.

Naturally, these people’s gazes also shifted toward Chen Xian.

If even a young girl was a powerhouse at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer...

Then what about Chen Xian?

Did he really only have the strength of the Qi Refining Seventh Layer?

...Outside the Shanhai Secret Realm.

Behind five Mahayana Stage powerhouses...

Two-thirds of the thousand Bright Lamps had already gone out.

Each extinguished lamp represented the fall of a Prodigy who had entered the Shanhai Secret Realm.
