Chapter 53 - 53: Ten Years (3)
“But it’s fine. I have plenty of time. I’ll slowly change them on the Repentance Cliff. One day, I’ll be able to roam the Nine Heavens.” Li Qingshan then figured it out. He was not in a hurry. He could change it slowly.
Since Yuhua Sect and Heavenly Path Sect couldn’t fight each other yet, Little Nine’s safety was guaranteed in Yuhua Sect.
He stayed on the Repentance Cliff in peace, wiping the steles daily, comprehending skills, drinking tea and admiring flowers, fishing in his spare time, and watching the clouds disperse and gather in the sky. He felt at ease.
The days passed.
Things were covertly happening in the outside world.
On the Repentance Cliff, everything was the same as before.
However, even if the Heavenly Path Sect discovered their top assassin had disappeared, they could only be suspicious of Yuhua Sect. They were afraid of the mysterious expert in Yuhua Sect, so they could only use some punishment methods.
The Heavenly Path Sect was waiting for their patriarchs to make a breakthrough.
Therefore, the cultivation world returned to the way it was before. The Heavenly Path Sect joined forces with other Righteous Sects to suppress Yuhua Sect everywhere. They tarnished Yuhua Sect’s reputation and classified it as a Demonic Sect.
Fortunately, Little Nine had carried out in-depth reforms to Yuhua Sect, adjusted the allocation of resources, and worked hard to nurture the new generation of disciples. At the same time, it deepened its cooperation with Changhen Demonic Sect.
Since the Heavenly Path Sect had joined hands with the other Righteous Sects to control public opinion and limit their resources, Little Nine didn’t harp on it. Instead, she deepened her cooperation with the Demonic Sects. At the same time, she cooperated with the Barbarian Clan, the sects on the prairie beyond the Great Wall, and the Monster Clans to exchange for various resources to maintain the operation of Yuhua Sect.
Little Nine also tried to recruit new disciples. Since the other areas were sealed off by Heavenly Path Sect, she looked for talented children from the Great Yan Dynasty, recruited them into Yuhua Sect, and trained them with care.
After all, the Great Yan Dynasty belonged to the Li family.
Since Little Nine had become the Sect Leader of Yuhua Sect, the Great Yan Dynasty would naturally be tied to the war chariot of Yuhua Sect.
Time flew by, leaving no trace behind.
Looking back, ten years had passed in a flash.
Too many things had happened in the past ten years.
Little Nine had changed from a slender young girl to an overlord, a Sect Leader. Her cultivation had also reached the Ninth Heaven Great Venerable and successfully entered the Human World Pass Plane.
In the entire Yuhua Sect, Little Nine was the strongest.
In the past ten years, she had a very strong control over Yuhua Sect. She was almost in charge of everything.
The Elder of Justice and her Grandfather-master had retired. They no longer cared about the affairs of Yuhua Sect and focused on cultivation.
In ten years, the number of disciples in Yuhua Sect had expanded from a few thousand to more than 15,000. It was truly a top-notch sect.
The Yuhua Sect, which had faced restraints everywhere, had risen again in Little Nine’s hands.
The price was leaving behind the reputation as a Righteous Sect. Besides the areas under Yuhua Sect’s influence, rumors of Yuhua Sect colluding with the Demonic Sects were rampant in other places.
Of course, Little Nine didn’t take that to heart.
In the past ten years, some hot-blooded geniuses had also been lured by the Heavenly Path Sect to destroy Yuhua Sect.
Unfortunately, they were defeated in one move by Little Nine. Then, they were hung, stripped naked, whipped, and exposed to the sun for three days. Finally, they had to write a letter of apology before they were allowed to go back.
Just like that, Little Nine also gained the reputation of a Demoness.
However, all the disciples of Yuhua Sect worshipped their Sect Leader who fought against the Heavenly Path Sect independently. She was beautiful and had a high level of cultivation. She was like a fairy from Heaven. Many male disciples admired her, but none dared approach her.
After ten years, the Repentance Cliff was still the same.
The bamboo hut was still the same bamboo hut. The small bridge with flowing water was still flowing, and the flowers were still in full bloom. However, the small bamboo forest had become a sea of bamboo.
Every time Little Nine was upset, she would head there to have a heart-to-heart talk with her brother and act coquettishly to ease her mood. She was there again that day.
“Brother.” The Demoness of Yuhua Sect in the eyes of outsiders, the beautiful Sect Leader in the eyes of disciples, and the peerless genius in the eyes of the
Heavenly Path Sect shouted in a cute voice.
After ten years, Li Qingshan still looked the same.
The only change was probably his indifferent temperament being more extraordinary. He lived in seclusion as if he would ascend at any moment.
“How many people have been hung up recently?” Li Qingshan looked at Little Nine and said with a smile.
He did not know what unique fetish Little Nine had. She did not kill those who came to find trouble with Yuhua Sect. After defeating them, she would just strip them naked and hang them up.
Li Qingshan had seen it with his Divine Consciousness once but withdrew it on the spot because he found that an eyesore.
After that, he rarely used his Divine Consciousness to observe Yuhua Sect.
Instead, he spent most of his time traveling the world from oceans to mountains, comprehending the various Great Paths in the world.
Little Nine’s face turned red. She sat before Li Qingshan and rebutted, “I don’t hang people up often. They’re all idiots who don’t know what’s good for them.
They’re fortunate that I didn’t kill them.”
“I suddenly realized that my Little Nine has really grown up.” Li Qingshan looked at the slim and elegant Little Nine, who no longer looked young and inexperienced, and sighed.
Back then, when he was sent to the Repentance Cliff, Little Nine was only ten years old when she first came. Now that 14 to 15 years had passed, Little Nine was almost 30 years old.
“No matter how old I am, I’m still your sister. Don’t you acknowledge that?” Little Nine said with a smile.
“Of course I acknowledge that you are still my sister. I just thought that you weren’t as cute as when you were young. Why did you become uglier as you grew older?” Li Qingshan joked.
Little Nine’s expression darkened. She looked at Li Qingshan with an unfriendly expression, “Your sister is so talented and beautiful. And you say she grew uglier?”
Li Qingshan laughed out loud, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone praise herself for her beauty.”
Little Nine said proudly, “I’m confident because I’m beautiful.”
“By the way, Brother, have you felt that the World Spiritual Qi seems a little different recently?” Little Nine quickly changed the topic, afraid that Li Qingshan would say something else to hurt her.
Li Qingshan’s expression was normal. He raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was clear, and the white clouds were leisurely moving. The wind blew, sprinkling the Spiritual Qi into the Human World.
“Did you find that the amount of World Spiritual Qi has increased?” Li Qingshan said faintly.
“Yes, yes, I feel that there are a lot more than before.” Little Nine nodded quickly.
“Don’t make a fuss. There will be more Spiritual Qi in the future.” Li Qingshan said softly..
