Chapter 1722: Chapter 774: Three Teams

White Lotus Sect.

"Haah!!"

Chen Ya slashed back the enemy with a single strike.

Her swordsmanship had greatly improved during this period.

The foundation of the White Lotus Sect, standing firm on this land for so many years, was truly not in vain.

And most importantly...

"Is this it... With this, I might just become a Demon Martial Artist!"

Chen Ya tightly held a small bottle in her hand. Seizing the moment when the great fire was burning within the White Lotus Sect amidst endless internal chaos, and before the strong elders of the sect could arrive, she leaped off a sheer cliff!

"Is she seeking death!?"

"Down there is a ten-thousand-foot cliff!"

The crowd pursuing her cried out in alarm, only to see a giant kite rising along the airflow from below, with the traitor Chen Ya remarkably perched atop it.

"Hahahaha! Well done! You took the White Lotus Sect’s ultimate swordsmanship, the ’Heavenly Lotus Sword Scripture’, stole all the Heavenly Lotuses from their holy land, and now with what you hold, the White Lotus Sect has truly suffered heavy losses, hahahaha!"

Controlling the kite was none other than the former traitor of the White Lotus Sect, Shen Heilian!

"It’s Brother Shen!"

"Don’t call him brother! He has been expelled from the sect and is now a traitor! I heard he even changed his name to Shen Heilian and is sullying the White Lotus Sect’s reputation everywhere!"

"Shen Heilian, you ungrateful beast, how dare you do such things to the sect!"

The crowd, blocked by the cliff, roared in anger, yet were somewhat helpless against the two who had already flown a good distance away.

"Where are they!"

At this moment, a woman in white led a team over, angrily scolding.

However, when she looked into the distance, her face instantly grew sullen.

"How could you let them escape! You bunch of useless!"

The crowd, upon seeing her arrival, immediately bowed their heads.

For this person was none other than one of the sect’s prodigies, Gu Feifei, Senior Sister Gu!

Senior Sister Gu’s strength was so formidable that she seemed to steadily hold a top position among the new generation of disciples.

Initially, the newly admitted Chen Ya was actually qualified to compete with this prodigy in terms of potential and was thus absorbed by the sect for focused cultivation.

But who would have thought, Chen Ya harbored malicious intentions, her heart was not right, missing a great opportunity!

Such an ill-intentioned individual, the White Lotus Sect naturally had no need to show favor.

"Shen Heilian, so it was you stirring trouble behind the scenes! Do you think you can escape! Today’s incident is unlike any before, even if it means your body is torn to pieces, it wouldn’t be excessive!"

Gu Feifei cried out angrily, her tone sharp and severe.

But nobody knew that deep inside, she actually felt a sense of relief.

Because of Chen Ya’s appearance, she felt immense pressure; Chen Ya’s talent was so strong that it made even this prodigy seem dim in comparison.

If Chen Ya continued to stay in the sect, her position might not be secure.

So even if Chen Ya did nothing, harbored no ill intentions, Gu Feifei would have started planning on how to deal with her.

Unexpectedly, before Gu Feifei could make a move, this person exposed herself, destroying her own future by associating with someone like Shen Heilian and becoming the target of everyone’s ire.

"Senior Sister Gu, we should quickly report this matter to the Master and the elders!"

A junior sister softly suggested from the side.

The others agreed as well.

In fact, at this time and distance, Gu Feifei still had the means to strike a sword, possibly injuring the fleeing Shen Heilian and Chen Ya.

However, Gu Feifei did not make a move.

The Charming Sword, a sword that charms, requires her to brew emotions every time she strikes, to somewhat fall in love with her opponent, the longer she used the swordsmanship, the more indifferent her feelings became.

So, after gaining fame, her number of strikes had become fewer and fewer, while her demand for sect resources had only increased.

"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"

With a cold snort, Gu Feifei led the team back to the White Lotus Sect.

It’s undeniable that Shen Heilian, once a focus of the White Lotus Sect’s cultivation who eventually betrayed the sect, has too clear an understanding of the sect’s inner workings, making his threat particularly great.

Not only did the demonic beings sealed within the White Lotus Sect’s forbidden grounds get released by them, causing chaos among the sect’s masters, but they also partially damaged the sect’s arrays, making them unable to function in time, allowing them enough time to escape.

It was a well-planned and decisively executed action, clearly carefully thought out over a long period before being enacted.

"It’s fine, without these prodigies, the sect’s top disciple position will sooner or later be mine!"

"Even that Eastern Gate Orchid, who supposedly returned with good news and was suddenly valued by the upper echelon, in the face of absolute talent and strength is just trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm, unable to affect my path to ascension!"

...

Not long after.

The White Lotus Sect’s highest wanted list featured the portraits of two people.

They were none other than Shen Heilian and Chen Ya.

And Chen Ya, who had already consumed the Demon Blood, was gradually adapting to the body of a Demon Martial Artist.

"This is the feeling of a Demon Martial Artist... so strong!"

"With such a physique, my path in the Sword Dao will surely go further and wider!"

The Heavenly Lotuses taken from the holy land of the White Lotus Sect, though split equally with Shen Heilian, still provided tremendous aid to Chen Ya, her body gradually absorbing and digesting them, her strength steadily rising.

As for the final Heavenly Lotus Sword Scripture, it was indeed the greatest harvest she obtained after venturing deep into the White Lotus Sect this time.

The Sword Scripture not only included sword techniques but also encompassed various auxiliary cultivation techniques centered around swordsmanship, including movement techniques, leg techniques, mental methods, and eye techniques.
