“HA!”

A loud cry came from the horizon, and the dim sky suddenly became radiant as all the energies were blown away in an instant. Then, a beam of golden light fell from the clouds and crashed on the Snowfall Peak.

Strangely enough, when the beam of light crashed down, it did not make any sound. There were only ten screams, and then ten figures could be seen being knocked flying away. The internal organs of ten Martial Sovereigns were all crushed as they fell to the ground, unable to move anymore.

All eyes were full of horror. They were all Martial Sovereigns of the Nine Heavens realm, but why was there such a huge gap between them?

During the whole process, Qu Hongyan did not move, just leaning quietly on her throne and watching the golden light all over the sky gather over the sea of clouds. Her eyes showed infatuation, and surprisingly, the corners of her mouth curved upward into a smile. “He is still the most handsome man.”

Only her smile was full of bitterness.

After condensing into that huge palm, most of the sea of clouds had dissipated. The rest of the water vapor slowly condensed into a long flight of steps and fell straight from the horizon to the Snowfall Peak. The while sky had become empty, with only a dazzling halo hanging over the horizon, shining brilliantly.

A pair of eyes that looked as magnificent as stars slowly emerged in the halo.

Hiding in the corner, Little Yunshang was completely struck dumb. The pair of eyes was so charming that, although she had only looked at them once, she could never forget them for the rest of her life. Her pupils slowly enlarged, but the halo suddenly turned into specks of light and dissipated into the void.

Dressed in white, the owner of the eyes slowly walked down from the steps.

Luan Junhao, who had fallen somewhere not far from the temple, watched as Gu Feiyang slowly walked down the steps, his heart beginning to fill with dread. At the thought of his arrogant words before, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. “Lord…lord Gu, I didn’t mean it!” he cried desperately. “A great man like you should not stoop to pettiness or harbor grievance for past wrongs! Please forgive me! I will never do it again!”

His cultivation base did not come easily, and he was unwilling to perish here. Therefore, he anxiously began to beg for mercy.

Gu Feiyang walked down from the top of the cloud step by step, his eyes shining like the stars. Looking at Qu Hongyan, he suddenly sighed, “Hongyan, why are you doing this?”

Only then did Luan Junhao realize that Gu Feiyang did not even look at him. It was entirely the sense of existence that he, a puny man, had come out with on his own. It was like a little ant thinking that everyone was watching it, but in fact, it was just a poor little ant. The feeling of humiliation from being despised immediately welled up in his heart, making him clench his teeth in fury. But he did not dare to say a word, and could only stare at Gu Feiyang with resentment.

Qu Hongyan sighed lightly as a tiny drop of tear glistened at the corner of her eye. “For whom does the beauty dance, who will overturn the world for the beauty? Let me perform another dance for you.”

With a touch of sadness on her beautiful and spiritual face, she stood up and began to dance. Her red dress gently held up her graceful figure like the sunset clouds.

At this moment, all the noises that filled the surroundings fell silent, and the rocking sea of clouds and murderous aura also calmed down. The world seemed to be left with only a beautiful figure dancing in the clouds.

Gu Feiyang sighed, “You’ll lose if you take it seriously.”

Qu Hongyan said with a wry smile, “I’ve already lost.” She wiped away the tears from her eyes and suddenly snapped, “Gu Feiyang, either you or I will die today!”

“You are no match for me, and these ten worms are no match for me either. How are you going to kill me?”

Qu Hongyan sneered, “I only invited these ten men here to consume some of your Primordial Qi. However, I didn’t expect them to be so useless that they couldn’t even withstand one strike from you!”

She slowly raised a sword and a beam of purple light rose up into the sky, before the whole Snowfall Peak was instantly enveloped by a cloud of purple mist.

Far away on several other peaks, a few women in palace suits were each guarding an ancient array. Suddenly, they opened their eyes at the same time and said in surprise, “It’s Master’s signal! Has it started?”

A total of seven women performed various hand seals and sent them into the ancient arrays they were guarding. Immediately, seven rays of light shot straight into the sky, then turned into a boundless mass of purple light and sped through the void. The light that blotted out the sky then transformed into a purple cloud in an instant, revealing the flicking stars in the sky while enveloping the whole Shenxiao Temple.

“The Purple Stars Formation!” Gu Feiyang’s face flickered before he sighed. “It seems that you really want to kill me.”

With a sad smile on her face, Qu Hongyan snapped, “The mountain protection formation constructed by Shenxiao Temple tens of thousands of years ago has not been used for thousands of years. Today, this unfilial disciple, Qu Hongyan, will use this formation and the Purple Cloud Sword in her hand to slay Gu Feiyang on this Snowfall Peak!”

The stars all over the sky emitted an immeasurable amount of purple mist, which turned into tiny fallen flowers and began to rotate wildly in the void, sweeping toward Gu Feiyang. In response, he lightly kicked the ground with one foot and his body drifted back gracefully like a fallen leaf.

“The Purple Stars Formation can draw the power of the stars, and the Purple Cloud Sword in my hand can absorb the power of the mountains around Shenxiao Temple. On the Snowfall Peak and under the purple stars, I am the god here! Gu Feiyang, no matter how mighty you are, you will surely die today!”

Gu Feiyang stood straight and unmoving like a mountain while his jade-white sleeves were flowing like clouds around him even without any wind. He did not seem troubled by any of this, focusing his eyes on his right hand. At some point, a simple-looking sword had appeared in his hand. “Old friend, it’s your turn to shine,” he whispered.

A stream of satin-like light slowly flowed out of the sword to the sky, as if a river of stars had poured down from the cosmos. At this moment, Gu Feiyang looked like a god holding a sword as he was about to ascend to heaven.

All of a sudden, the sword let out a dragon roar and then began to transform rapidly into a broadsword. The blade rippled like water, and was engraved with the patterns of the sun, the moon, mountains, rivers, flowers, insects, birds, and animals. Dragon roars rang incessantly out of it while shafts of bright light broke out of the blade.

“You may have hundreds of millions of stars, but I will destroy them all with a single slash of my sword! Starslash Sword, Reigns Supreme Over the World!”

Qu Hongyan’s expression changed slightly. The Purple Cloud Sword emitted a plume of purple mist that soared into the sky while her extraordinary face overflowed with tiny dots of light as if she had transformed into a sword spirit. “A mysterious snowfall covered the sky overnight, ask not the mortals but the Ghost and the Gods! The Purple Cloud Sword, Ask Not the Mortals!”[1]

One sword reigned supreme over the world, one sword asked not the mortals!

Thousands of stars disillusioned and dissipated in little Yunshang’s pupils as an uncontrollable pressure of the heaven and earth filled the entire void. As a result, she felt an abnormal tightness in her chest and began to lose her consciousness.

She tried hard to keep her eyes open, just to take one more look at the man and his eyes that shone like stars. However, the pressure was too strong. No matter how hard she tried, her eyes eventually closed…

Yunshang’s memory ended there because she had fainted. By the time she woke up, she heard that her Master had entered a secluded cultivation, and all her other sisters had left and turned into uncle-masters on other peaks. There was no one else on the entire Snowfall Peak.

At that moment, she resolutely chose to leave Shenxiao Temple and began to wander on the continent in order to see that pair of eyes again.

She subsequently knew that, at the end of that day, her Master was defeated.

The Vanquisher Martial Sovereign—Gu Feiyang—had defeated ten Martial Sovereigns of the Nine Heavens realm with just one move, and then went on to defeat the Master of Shenxiao Temple, Qu Hongyan. Such an ending caused an uproar throughout the continent, and his reputation was at its peak!

But then came the news that Gu Feiyang had fallen in Tiandang Mountains…

Yunshang could not believe that the man with a pair of god-like eyes would die. Who could kill him in this world?

Later on, she arrived at the state of Tianshui and stayed at Jialan Academy, because it had the most vivid statue of Gu Feiyang in the whole continent.

…

When her thoughts pulled away from fifteen years ago, Yunshang’s eyes showed an infinite loneliness. Her gaze seemed to sweep over Yunxiao, as if she was looking for something.

On that day in the martial arts arena, this young man’s demeanor was exactly the same as Gu Feiyang’s statue.

Yunshang muttered with a wry smile, “It’s a pity that you are not him.”

She still remembered the forlorn look in her Master’s eyes. “For whom does the beauty dance, and who will overturn the world for the beauty? Even Master, who is as beautiful and mighty as an immortal, is not worthy of him, let alone me?” she muttered to herself.

Yunxiao seemed to feel something in his heart and his face flickered slightly.

After waiting for a long time and not getting the answer, Qin Yang said coldly, “Who is he? Am I not even qualified to know his name?”

Yunshang came to her senses. Looking at Qin Yang, she gave a wry smile and said, “He’s dead.”

“Dead…dead?” Qin Yang was stunned, and everyone was shocked.

Qin Yang’s anger gradually faded away. “No matter who he is, since he is dead, then I have a chance,” he said in a low voice. “What did he do to make you fall in love so much? If he can do it, I can do it too!”

Yunshang looked up and smiled a very lovely smile. “You can do it, too? Then listen…

“In the Soul Formation Sea, he refined a super-grade mystic weapon, Starslash Sword, became the youngest ninth-tier Sovereign Alchemist in the continent, and was employed as an honorary elder by the headquarters of the Alchemist Association!

“In Redmoon City, he overturned the city with a sword for a beauty and eliminated one of the three superpowers from the continent!

“In the East Sea, he slaughtered everything within eight thousand miles for a friend and was ordered to be killed by the King of all seas!

“In the Holy Realm, he defeated numerous mighty figures and ranked third on the Heaven and Earth Power Chart, being conferred as the Vanquisher Martial Sovereign!

“At Snowfall Peak, he came on the clouds and effortlessly defeated ten Martial Sovereigns with one move!

“Even the most beautiful woman in the world, the Master of Shenxiao Temple—Qu Hongyan—failed to make him love her!

“There’s so much more,” Yunshang said, raising her eyes slightly to look at Qin Yang’s glazed expression and chuckling. “Now, do you know who that someone in my heart is? I’ll marry you if you can achieve just one percent of what he has done!”

Qin Yang naturally knew who this person was, and so did everyone present. The name had disappeared for fifteen years, but it was still on everyone’s mind, and none of them dared to mention it at will.

Yunshang gently pushed away the servant standing beside her, then lightly kicked the floor with one foot and floated up into the air, flying away in a beam of light. Her faint voice full of endless weariness came through the air, “I’m a little tired, so I’ll take my leave to rest. I beg your pardon!”

As soon as she left, the banquet hall fell silent again.

Stupefied, Yunxiao sat in his chair with his eyes wide open, and his hand that held the bronze wine glass frozen in mid-air.
