The General's Genius Daughter

Hongyi and the others were astonished. They focused their eyes and saw that Granny Wang’s hand was on fire. No matter how hard she tried, she could not put it out. The fire was like some creature with an extremely powerful lifeforce, clinging on to her stubbornly!

Terrible screams rang out, making everyone’s hairs stand on end. The remaining four grannies could not bear the sight. They tried to put out the fire on that granny’s hand.

All of them coalesced their spiritual energy into fluid. With a “Poof!”, they finally put out the fire. At the same time, Hua Qiyue retracted her hand. She no longer tried to maintain the fire. Had she not done this, it would prove almost impossible for the four grannies to quench the flame.

“Ah… my hand… my hand… ” The old woman shrieked. She watched her hand, now scorched black, her face full of terror!

Hongyi stared dumbfounded at the whole scene. She could not quite believe her eyes.

“You wicked girl! You must be sick of living!”

The four grannies all stared at Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue shrugged calmly and said in a cold tone, “All of you are trying to kill me. You think I will be polite and spare you?”

“Fine! Fine!” One of the old women was looking very agitated. One could see that she was from the same batch of Heaven Sect disciples as the previous granny.

“In that case, let’s attack together. Kill her!” The old woman gave an odd shriek, her eyes full of rage.

“Old hags, you are so shameless. So many against Sister Qiyue. And you are in the wrong too! If Heaven Sect is controlled by you lot, it will surely perish!”

Ji Jing sneered coldly. Mo Yuning heard her and worry etched her face.

Of course, Ji Jing’s words made her worry too, since these venerable masters had chosen Hongyi as the Sect’s next leader.

If such an unreasonable person became their leader and a pillar of the Sect, she might destroy the Sect within a day!

“Together!” The old grannies obviously were unaffected by Ji Jing’s remarks. The four of them hurled themselves ferociously at Hua Qiyue, brandishing their spirit weapons, as glaring lights streaked the sky.

If they were attacking an ordinary Qi Artist, that person would surely die.

But Hua Qiyue had mastered a few lethal skills. She could still deal with these old women at the Dragon Diagram Realm.

“Imprint of Mountain and River!” Hua Qiyue planted a few palm prints and bellowed loudly. The palm prints turned instantly into a large crimson palm, striking fiercely at the four attacking old women.

The crimson palm was as swift as lightning. It tore through the air, making grating noises. Once the Imprint of Mountain and River was out, it would be accompanied by wild gales which could sever trees. Their prowess was so rampant that they could shake mountains and rivers.

The four grannies widened their eyes, shocked. The girl before them had mastered not just an art of fire but also such a rampaging, powerful skill? They had never before encountered such aura—so brutal, berserk and wild!

“Dodge quickly!”

They were terrified to the core. Their powers before this Imprint of Mountain and River were like ants trying to dislodge an elephant—they could never succeed!

If they did not dodge, they would be disintegrated by the palm blow. Or turned into dust and smoke.

The four old women quickly turned and dodged. One of them was too slow and was hit by half the imprint. She was almost killed. She gave off a horrendous scream, her entire body flying direct to the other side, slamming forcefully against an ancient tree.

“Ah Ju!” The company yelled and quickly rushed over to help the old woman up. She was spitting blood.

One of the grannies who knew medicine took her pulse and her face immediately sank. “Her liver is ruptured. Help her recover, quick!”

The faces of the other grannies also changed. They had not expected a Qi Artist in the Great Completeness of the Dragon Diagram Realm to be so badly injured by a half-body hit. Hua Qiyue’s Qi Art was so powerful!

Hongyi saw this and blood almost spilled out from her eyes with hate. She shrieked loudly and wanted to dash over.

The young female apprentices all pulled her back. “Junior Sister, don’t! This woman’s not simple. Don’t act rashly!”

Hua Qiyue retracted her hand, coldly eyeing the commotion on the other side. Her face was expressionless. Her opponents were truly vicious. Hongyi was clearly in the wrong. Why did they try to kill her first?

Humph, she had been quite merciful. If it were some other woman, she would have killed all these old women!

“You bitch… ”

“Smack!” Before Hongyi had finished, her face had been slapped by someone from a distance.

Yun Shimo blew on his palm. He had formed a palm using his Spiritual Qi and hit her from a distance. “I very seldom strike women. Don’t provoke my woman… or you will die!”

He remarked coldly. Then, he spurred his horse in the direction of the Five Demons Mountain.

Hua Qiyue stared at Hongyi nonchalantly. “I’ll let you off this time. Only because your Sect is opposing the Gnawing Devils Sect.”

The old women stared furiously and fearfully at Hua Qiyue. One of them whispered, “Young Mistress, let’s get even with her the next time!”

Hongyi had been slapped from a distance and her seniors were also roundly trounced. Even with her stupidity, she could understand the gulf between the two parties. The legendary Prince Nan and Hua Qiyue weren’t so easy to deal with after all.

So she could only glare at them hatefully as they depart. When their figures finally disappeared, Hongyi gave an angry growl. She hit her fist at a big tree by the side.

Mo Yuning did not leave with Hua Qiyue and the rest. After all, all her fellow disciples were here. Besides, Hua Qiyue had clashed so violently with them. If this went on, the entire sect too would regard Mo Yuning as their enemy.

She could not understand why everyone doted so much on Hongyi. They had turned her from a talented girl into a willful little devil.

“Yuning… come here.”

One of the grannies saw the dazed Mo Yuning and called out to her coldly.

Mo Yuning walked over. “Fifth Venerable Master… ”

“You’ve betrayed the sect! You stood on their side! When we are back, go to the leader and take your punishment!”

The granny known as the Fifth Venerable Master remarked coldly.

Mo Yuning bit her pinkish lip, staring at the old woman, unconvinced. She finally plucked up her courage. “Venerable master, why must you favor Junior Sister? She was the one who provoked them first. If it weren’t for her, we would be in an alliance with Saint Ji and his people! It’s not any sect which can succeed in this operation against the Gnawing Devils Sect!”

“Outrageous! Who is your junior sister? She is one of the five Saints of the world, reincarnated. She will rule the world… all Qi Artists must listen to her command! Before your junior sister’s birth, our Sect is only a small sect. Heaven Sect only flourished after her birth. Some fortune teller told us that she is the female Saint of the Five Great Saints!”

The old woman said, breathing loudly. The younger female disciples stared at one another, quite baffled. They were wondering if this was true.

The reincarnation of the female Saint? Then how could Hua Qiyue crush her so easily?

“But… ”

“No more buts. This matter concerning your junior sister is a secret of our Sect. Since I know all of you are unconvinced, I must be honest. Your junior sister will encounter a great fortune one year later!”

The old woman said solemnly. Mo Yuning sighed quietly. She no longer dared to say anything more. These grannies were so stubborn. They had doted on Hongyi for 17 years. Of course they would not mind doing the same again, unless…

Unless Hongyi destroyed the sect after taking over as leader.

Hongyi was clenching her teeth by the side. However, she had been pulled back by her senior sisters and could do no more.

The grannies showed their terror. One of them said, “I didn’t expect Hua Qiyue to be so powerful… looks like we must remove this threat, or she’ll prove a thorn in our side!”

“But there are too many superiors with her. Not easy to remove her. Besides, she’s so strong herself!”

“Then we can only use poison… ”

A group of ignorant grannies discussing how to poison Hua Qiyue. They were seldom out of the sect and knew only a little about Hua Qiyue. Few people knew the fact that Hua Qiyue was immune to all poisons.

At the same time.

Hua Qiyue and the others had entered Five Demons Mountain. Inside, there were towering ancient trees. The trails of spirit animals and evil beasts could be found everywhere. However, since Hua Qiyue and her people had powerful auras, the animals did not dare approach them.

Hua Qiyue sat on the Lightning Steed, staring at the great tree sinking its roots deep into the earth. Layers of fallen leaves on the ground were giving off a decayed odor.

Rare herbs and medicinal flowers were everywhere. Yet since Hua Qiyue had already possessed many divine herbs, she did not deign them a look. These precious herbs would have interested a common person otherwise.

“There’s a powerful aura… in the west. I sense many people moving in that direction,” Yun Shimo said quietly.

His cultivation was the most powerful, his senses the most acute.

Hua Qiyue nodded. “Since a divine weapon is emerging, it will draw many to it. Many sects are probably here because of the weapon. We have to plan well to seize it successfully.”

Yun Shimo smiled quietly. His profound eyes made Hua Qiyue and the others start.

He seemed well prepared. Did he have a way to seize the treasure quickly?

“Sister Qiyue, Prince Nan is so powerful. So are you. We will surely seize the weapon. Remember, we can give you a hand too!” Ji Jing answered with a smile.

Hua Qiyue smiled. “There are many enemies this time. You must be careful too.”

The company stared at one another. A divine weapon could attract countless Qi Artists. Everyone would go crazy for it.

Huangfu Shenglin was the Crown Prince and this was his first “expedition.” He had wanted to win the heart of his desired and also to train his powers.

Anyway, the Changlong Emperor was in charge of state affairs now. He did not need to bother. After all, he had already won the hearts of the people. The former Crown Prince, Huangfu Changyu, had completely languished. The man no longer had a chance to seize the throne.

However, the aura from a near distance made him panick a bit.

Unless he could seize the divine weapon this time, it would be hard to win the heart of his desired.

The company crossed a mountain chain. They saw a fiery-red tree soaring into the sky on the level ground surrounded by the five mountains.

The huge tree emitted glaring, red light. The company gave astonished gasps. “It’s the Fiery Divine Tree! Quite unexpected to have come across this tree here!”

“The last time we came here, we did not see this tree!” Huangfu Shenglin’s men cried in astonished voices.

“The Fiery Divine Tree can run. Since a divine weapon is emerging here, of course it has come.”
