Chapter 115: It's Really Her

Su Tingyun doesn’t bother to lower her voice, she just shouts in frustration, "Get lost!"

Her voice contains spiritual pressure, making Wang Xuanzhi stagger back two steps. Blood seeps out at the corners of his mouth. He tries to say something, only to hear the sigh of the Beast Taming Sect's Tribulation Transcendent Elder, Su Junhua, "How can she be Xi Guang?"

Although Xi Guang was strong, she wasn’t able to crush them. Now, even the Upper Realm cultivators are so wary of this person, so how could she possibly be Xi Guang? Moreover, Xi Guang hardly ever acted on her own back then. On normal occasions, when did she ever personally raise her hands against others? Never. Just a glance from her, and that used to be enough for someone to willingly go through water and tread on fire, for her.

How could this kind of woman exist in this world— it would be one thing if she only had beauty without strength. But she was not only beautiful, she was also powerful. She was like the most beautiful snow lotus on the Wangu Snow Peak of legends. Not only beautiful, but also strong enough to control the ice and the snow, with a majestic spirit beast guarding her side. Thus, people can only look at her, but no one could ever pick her.

Qi Sufang, the Tribulation Transcendent Elder of Wanjian Men, has a good relationship with Wang Xuanzhi, so he scolds in a whisper, "Apologize to the senior, quickly."

Wang Xuanzhi's heart trembles, and he comes back to his senses. His expression also returns closer to normal. He bows towards Su Tingyun’s direction and apologizes, "This junior mistook you for someone else. I apologize to the senior."

He had loved two women in his life. One had grown up with him, and the other had dazzled him over time. But now, one has fallen, and the other is nowhere to be found. He suddenly no longer wants to fight for anything, no longer has the will to snatch anything.

After speaking, Wang Xuanzhi is most likely in a very bad state of mind, that he doesn’t care about the other party's reaction. He turns around and leaves. He too is a rare person in the cultivation world, one who’s willful towards the strong. However, he looks very listless as he leaves, with his back slightly hunched, the image of a man wounded by love.

Su Tingyun finds that looking at him for a moment longer is unpleasant. She can only speculate why Elder E didn't want to mention this person back then. Could it be that he had caused her so much grief that she became disgusted with him?

Su Tingyun shakes her head and doesn’t continue to think deeply about it. Changguang has already passed away, those loves and hatreds have scattered with the wind, and she never brought them up. Either she had let them go, or she refused to face them at all. Therefore, Su Tingyun has no intention of digging up those old accounts either.

At the moment, what she cares about the most is Li Xinmei.

In the circular mirror, Li Xinmei is cautiously walking through the forest. This makes Su Tingyun frown. It is obviously within the Palace Walls, but there is such a dense forest inside, that Xiao Mei has yet to see the end of it even after walking for a long time. This Immortal Palace is really deceptive.

While Su Tingyun is still lamenting, something suddenly appears in the circular mirror.

In the woods, there are silver threads winding around the branches. Su Tingyun senses them through the round mirror, but Li Xinmei's cultivation is so low, that she can’t perceive the sudden appearance of the threads. Well, she doesn’t completely miss them, Li Xinmei must have felt something since she suddenly lowers her body and sprints forward. But at that moment, a huge phantom spider that’s been hanging in the air over her head suddenly drops on a branch, then attacks Li Xinmei.

Ordinary phantom spiders are gray-white in color, small in size, and thin legs which are at least three times longer than their bodies. But this spider is clearly different. Its body is about the size of a human head. Its legs are thin and long like drooping willows or green bamboo downwind, roughly three zhang in length. (10 meters)

Li Xinmei dodges, but not fast enough to match the spider's long legs. Its scythe-like appendage cuts open a wound on her shoulder. But despite her injury, she throws a small stone behind her. After that, she runs straight into a big tree on one side, then after hitting it, she rolls on the ground to avoid the phantom spider's second attack. There, she sits on the ground, holding a small formation flag in her hand. She exerts all her strength and forcefully sticks the formation flag under the big tree.
