Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Panda Novel

“I know you, you’re the current number one in the Youth Ranking List. Just nice, you’re also the first on my to-kill list.” Black, malicious aura poured out from the pair of blood-red eyes, every layer it spurted out felt strong enough to smash the sky and earth.

“It’s a pity that you’re only at Houtian level, it’s considered an honor to die by my hands either way!”

The red eyes that had been shrouded in black mist instantly transformed into a tall entity. His huge feet stepped onto the mountain with a boom, reducing it to powder immediately.

The terrifying pressure that exuded from the entity came ramming right into the others who were standing there. Murong Feiye and the rest were forced to their knees, blood flowing out from the corners of their mouth from the impact. They struggled to raise their heads, wanting to give warnings to Gu Xiqiao.

“I’ve been cultivating for so many years, and have already broken through the realm of Enlightenment! I’m not someone who a person like you can contend with!” The blood-red eyes were filled with madness, cultivating for a few thousand years and coming out boldly at this moment, it was for the sake of taking over the world.

The genius of the ancient martial arts world who was standing in front of him would serve as his first battle after thousands of years of silence. This was the moment he, Xue Tong had been waiting for!

There was nothing that could patch the difference in their levels at this moment, he was already beyond the realm of Enlightenment, while Gu Xiqiao was still at Houtian level. She would never be able to match his powers, no matter how high she climbed, Xue Tong thought to himself as he smiled coldly towards Gu Xiqiao.

“Huh?” Xue Tong suddenly stopped in his steps, looking at Gu Xiqiao with shock in his eyes.

Gu Xiqiao’s mental power was rising to alarming heights. She had been honing her mental powers in virtual space for so long, even Jiji didn’t know what her limits were. At this moment, everything she had was pouring out, scattering Xue Tong’s pressure that he had in the air.

It was a collision of mental power and aura pressure!

It directly tore a crack in space, enough to shatter any person who stood in that area!

Murong Feiye and the rest only felt like their bodies had lightened up, and they picked themselves up from the ground easily. They stared at Gu Xiqiao with a dumbfounded expression on their faces, and mouth slightly agape.

“She’s obviously only at Houtian level, how can she be exuding pressure from her body that’s comparable to someone beyond the Enlightenment realm?!” Mo Li exclaimed, a hint of terror in her voice.

Even if this was a higher level challenge, things didn’t go like this usually, okay!

This was the first time Mo Li had the chance to see Gu Xiqiao, and she was shocked to her core by the scene in front of her. Forget about the fact that Mo Li was seeing her for the first time, Murong Feiye and the second elder was more in shock than her!

When the second elder had seen Gu Xiqiao in the Elders Association previously, he already knew that she was already strong enough. But today, it seemed like she had surpassed her limits, and gotten even stronger?!

Even villains and monsters couldn’t deliver such crippling mental blows to people like this!

And yet…

That was far from the end of the bombshell that Gu Xiqiao was giving them!

With an ear-piercing shriek, a massive flaming red bird appeared suddenly, the temperature in the area shooting up with its appearance.

“A fully formed phoenix?” Xue Tong’s eyes narrowed. “Didn’t you already die?!”

“The Vermillion Bird, it’s actually the Vermillion Bird?!” Mo Li’s eyes were comically wide as she stared at the flaming bird standing next to Gu Xiqiao, the disbelief clear in them. Before she could say another word, she suddenly felt her vision swimming.

The place they were in suddenly became a void space. Everyone present all had sufficient strength and power, and they had all been in the Trial Tower before, immediately recognizing the change in the timeflow in their bodies. How could they not know what this was? This was Cyberspace!

The second elder and the others looked towards Xue Tong, finding there was also a look of horror on his face. They stiffly turned to Gu Xiqiao, feeling like they had lost their tongues as words failed them. This… it couldn’t be possible that this Cyberspace was hers?!

“Holy sh*t!” Mo Li felt her entire view of the world being shattered in just these few minutes. Where in the world did this monster-like person come from?!

She had thought herself to be abnormal enough, but she didn’t expect someone even more out of this world than her to come along. Mo Li’s mouth had yet to be closed ever since she had been caught off guard the first time.

How old, how old was this girl! How is it that she was so insanely strong?!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thick bolts of purple lightning crashed down, splitting the sky and thundering in their ears. Mo Li trembled from the sounds and impact, her eyes widening in alarm as the lightning came down directly on Xue Tong.

The shock had come one after another, and Mo Li had already lost the ability to think clearly after receiving so many consecutive jolts.

The thought that suddenly entered Mo Li’s head when the lightning struck down was—Would it hurt a lot?

Murong Feiye and the rest, who had initially thought this was where they would die, finally felt relief coursed through them. Yes, Xue Tong had said himself that he had been cultivating for thousands of years, and his strength had gone beyond anything they ever saw. If they had clashed in the past, Murong Feiye and the rest would definitely be scared stiff and horrified.

But it was different now, when Gu Xiqiao was right in front there! The strength that she displayed was clearly not any inferior to his!

“You… how did you learn this?!” Xue Tong’s voice was filled with horror now. He braced himself and also getting ready to dodge, knowing that it would take all the strength he had to resist the thunder.

However, this was Gu Xiqiao’s Cyberspace. The entire space was her territory!

With just a thought in her mind, she instantly suppressed his speed, and the thunder went crashing towards the black figure.

At the same time, pure flames burst out from Xixi’s beak, burning the malicious aura that surrounded them.

The cracks in the space were getting bigger, and you could practically feel the devastating energy that could destroy everything within a hundred meters away.

The crackling thunder collided with the black figure, exploding instantly!

Gu Xiqiao looked at the blood-red eyes that were no longer shrouded in black mist, narrowing her eyes as she snorted coldly. “You’re still trying to run?!”

The purple lightning cracked and formed a handshape, grabbing Xue Tong, who was about to make his escape. “What rank are you? Boss, your intelligence is deplorable. Then again, all your brains probably could use more studying. Last time, your seventh sister wanted to use this trap to target the people from the ancient martial arts world. Using it once was enough, I can’t believe you tried to use the same thing again.”

“My seventh sister? You’re the one who killed her!” Xue Tong struggled, trying to get loose. He was looking at Gu Xiqiao, there was no more hatred in his eyes, it had been replaced with panic instead.

His seventh sister and himself had been destroyed by this pair of hands, the person holding him… terrifying was a word that couldn’t even begin to describe her!

Fifth brother! There was still a fifth brother!

You can’t come to Mingzhou! Don’t come and carry out your plans here!

This person was too lunatic! For her to rush over in time, she must have known about their plans from the beginning. He had thought that the people from the ancient martial arts world were all stupid, none of them finding out about their conspiration for such a long time. Now that he thought about it, she may have found out a long time ago, and was just biding her time, waiting for him to get trapped in her net!

She allowed the group of people from the ancient martial arts world to come over, it was probably… to train those bunch of people!

Xue Tong trembled violently when he reached this conclusion, when had such a person appeared in the ancient martial arts world? To be able to calculate everything to this extent?

If that was the case, then… Fifth Brother! Fifth Brother!

Xue Tong panicked and struggled harder, doing his best to try and send a mental message to his fifth brother, but he felt his consciousness gradually fading away.

“Do you know what the consequences of sinning are?” Gu Xiqiao smiled as she looked at Xue Tong. “Don’t even think of sending any messages. I’ll kill every single one of you who comes after Mingzhou!” Her eyes narrowed slightly. “Don’t think you can just do whatever you want to do, just because Brother Jiang isn’t around.”

Her voice was light and fluttery, but it left a large impact on Xue Tong, and he fainted with terror still felt throughout his entire being!

A white light flashed in Gu Xiqiao’s hands, and a bamboo tube appeared out of thin air. The purple crackling hand shape squeezed Xue Tong, condensing him into a black, malicious aura that was shoved into the tube Gu Xiqiao was holding.

The ferocious, terrifying Xue Tong had been reduced to a mass of malicious spirits, and shoved into a broken old bamboo tube just like that.

The entire space was silent.

Murong Feiye, the second elder, Mo Li as well as the guards were all rooted to the spot, a stupefied expression on their faces.

Even though they had thought that Gu Xiqiao would be able to beat Xue Tong, they were still in a disbelief state, as though they were still in a dream or nightmare.

A girl who wasn’t even twenty years of age, had shoved this thousand-year-old demon into the mud.

How was that possible?!

It was scary, extremely terrifying!

The second elder felt that these words kept coming up after meeting with Gu Xiqiao, and they were his go-to words when it came to her. From the time the shocking incident with Peace Manor had happened, he felt that Gu Xiqiao was definitely going to overturn the entire ancient martial arts world.

Gu Xiqiao would shatter his perfect view of the world every time they met, and every time he felt that she had reached her limits, she would surpass it once again, making him feel like what he saw each time was just the tip of the iceberg.

How did this monster even train and cultivate her skills? Even riding a rocket wouldn’t be able to match her speed, right?!

The second elder touched his chest, before reaching into his pockets to pull out a Buddhist scripture.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to bring it with him. Knowing earlier that Gu Xiqiao was in Mingzhou, he had deliberately packed his book when he came!

Gu Xiqiao tossed the bamboo tube up in the air a few times, the aura from her body receding, the terrifying mental power that was in the air, as well as Cyberspace disappearing as well.

Xixi shrank down at that moment too, settling down at his usual perch on her shoulder.

The only difference once everything dispersed was, the initially great big mountain had now been reduced to a flat ground.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission. The system has rewarded you 20,000 points!]

Oh? That was an unexpected surprise. Now was a time where she was severely lacking in points, she thought, as slender fingers continued to play with the bamboo tube. Gu Xiqiao glanced to the now flat ground, feeling a headache starting to build up. This… how were they going to explain this to the public?

Earthquake?

She turned around slowly, a jade-like face appearing in everyone’s view. This beautiful, snow-white face had appeared suddenly in the void space, resembling a light in their darkest hour. No one was able to reconcile this face that was as pretty as a picture to the terrifying image of a person that had wiped their opponent out so easily just a few minutes ago.

“Miss Gu!”

“Miss Gu!”

The guard from the ancient martial arts world seemed to have gone out of their minds, shouting her name one after another!

These people had already gone crazy when Gu Xiqiao had rushed up to the top spot in the Youth Ranking List in such a short time during the selection in Bahuang Forest, but this earth-shattering battle that had taken place right in front of their eyes had completely opened their eyes and convinced them, and continuously shouting her name over and over was the only way they could think of expressing the overwhelming feelings they were feeling inside!

“Second Elder.” Gu Xiqiao sighed. “I underestimated my power, so the place has become this state.”

“I’ll take care of it, I’ll take care of it!” The second elder said hurriedly.

By now, he was well acquainted with the people from Peace Manor, used to them beating him every time they fought. At the same time, he had also heard something about Gu Xiqiao from them, and that was she… this girl was incredibly lazy!

That was why, before Gu Xiqiao had opened her mouth, he already had the thought of taking matters into his own hands.

“Thanks very much then.” Gu Xiqiao smiled, her face so bright it was hard to look at it directly. “I’ll take my leave first.”

She snapped her fingers, disappearing instantly from view.

Three minutes later, shouts came from the people who were still rooted to the spot.

“I didn’t take a video!”

“Ahhh! How could she just leave like that!” Mo Li jumped, finally snapping out of her daze.

Murong Feiye was feeling slightly appreciative of the battle, touching his chest, he felt as though he was on the verge of breaking through. Hearing Mo Li’s words, he raised his head and laughed. “Didn’t you say you wanted to have a match against her when you first came back?”

“… F*ck. How would I dare?” Mo Li sighed heavily, gesturing with her hands. “She’d just… use that one thunderbolt and I’d be dead!”

Fighting against Gu Xiqiao? Mo Li shuddered at the thought, ashamed of all those bold, haughty words that she had been throwing around before this!

How can she beat such a fearsome person?! It’s better not to send yourself and beg for a beating!

Mo Li was obviously still self-aware. “But, I wonder if she’d be affected by my charmspeak?” She was quite curious about this matter.

“You want to try controlling a monster with such huge reserves of mental power?” Murong Feiye patted her on the shoulder when he heard her words. “Good luck, I have faith in you!”

“…” Then again, thinking of the alarming amount of mental power that had poured out from Gu Xiqiao just now, she wilted at the thought of even trying.

“Elder, what the heck are you doing?” Once Mo Li had gathered herself together, she turned around, hearing consistent streams of murmuring from behind them.

Murong Feiye glanced at the second elder, saying faintly, “Don’t disturb him, Second Elder is reciting scriptures.” The bunch of elders had been driven to recite scriptures every day by things that Gu Xiqiao did after all, and if it wasn’t something she had done, then it was the people from Peace Manor.

Thinking about that, Murong Feiye felt that he shouldn’t be alone in his shock.

And so he posted it on The Forum for the entire ancient martial arts world to share.

And the result was as he had imagined—The entire ancient martial arts world exploded at the post.
