The Masked Strength of the Sect's Trash chapter 21

Chapter 21 Master, the thing your old love gave you is gone

Xiao Yi was puzzled.

“Master, did you bring me here just to vent about Second Senior Brother and make me feel better by letting me know I’m not the only one he’s wronged?”

“Master, why did you bring me here?”

Shao Cheng looked slightly embarrassed and said, “Actually, I brought you here to observe your Second Senior Brother.”

Cough He couldn’t help it—this rascal was just too infuriating. Talking about him naturally led to venting. It was a habit.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi looked toward Lu Shaoqing but saw nothing more than his usual lazy demeanor.

“Master, why do you want me to look at Second Senior Brother?”

“I don’t want to see him. Second Senior Brother is such a jerk.”

Xiao Yi pouted, still upset about Lu Shaoqing making her work.

Shao Cheng said, “You misunderstand your Second Senior Brother.”

“Though he’s lazy and seems unreliable, he never does anything without reason.”

“If he asked you to do something, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.”

Xiao Yi was surprised. She didn’t expect Shao Cheng to speak so highly of Lu Shaoqing.

“Master, are you just trying to comfort me? It’s okay, I can handle it. I know Second Senior Brother is a jerk.”

Shao Cheng shook his head and then, with a serious expression, said, “Others might misunderstand your Second Senior Brother, but as my disciple and his junior sister, you cannot.”

“Watch closely!”

With that, Shao Cheng brought his fingers together like a sword and pointed them toward Lu Shaoqing’s location.

A pure and terrifying sword energy shot straight toward Lu Shaoqing.

The immense power left Xiao Yi pale. Is this the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator? Could just a single finger really hold the power to destroy the heavens and the earth?

She believed that if she were hit by that sword energy, she’d be obliterated without a trace.

Perhaps to ensure Xiao Yi could see clearly, the sword energy wasn’t fast, taking a few moments to reach Lu Shaoqing.

It seemed Lu Shaoqing didn’t notice. He simply raised the Tianji tablet in his hand and continued looking at it.

Xiao Yi was shocked. Did Second Senior Brother not sense it, or did he just not care about Master’s sword intent?

At that moment, Xiao Yi heard Shao Cheng cursing beside her.

“Little bastard!”

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, the sword energy that had almost reached Lu Shaoqing vanished without a trace as if it had never existed.

Nascent Soul techniques were truly beyond comprehension.

Lu Shaoqing remained motionless, and the little red bird perched on his head continued to sleep peacefully.

“Master?”

Xiao Yi looked at Shao Cheng, confused about what he was trying to do.

Shao Cheng paused before angrily saying, “When did that little scum steal my Tianji tablet?”

“Damn it!”

Xiao Yi was still in a daze, staring blankly at Shao Cheng.

“Master, what’s going on?”

Shao Cheng gritted his teeth, “That little bastard stole my Tianji tablet.”

“I wanted him to move around a bit, but he used my Tianji tablet as a shield.”

“My dear disciple, whatever you do, never learn from your Second Senior Brother’s shameless behavior.”

Xiao Yi was stunned, looking in disbelief at Shao Cheng and then back at Lu Shaoqing, who seemed like he’d die if he moved too much.

She found it hard to believe.

“Master, are you saying that Second Senior Brother knew you were attacking him and used the Tianji tablet to blackmail you into stopping?”

Shao Cheng snapped, “Exactly.”

He clutched his chest in discomfort. How did he end up with such a troublesome disciple? It was so humiliating.

But the Tianji tablet had a special origin, and he couldn’t bear to lose it.

Xiao Yi found it hard to believe. Could that shameless Second Senior Brother really be so formidable? Just a simple move from him could make Master hesitant to act?

She struggled to accept this.

“Master, are you just saying this to make me feel better?”

Shao Cheng replied irritably, “Why would I lie to you?”

Just then!

There was a sudden disturbance from Ji Yan’s direction. The spiritual energy in the area surged violently, boiling over.

With a loud roar, Ji Yan shot into the sky, hovering in mid-air.

The white dragon in the sky seemed to awaken, revealing its massive body from within the clouds. Its ferocious head looked down upon the beings below.

A chilling sword intent filled the sky, enveloping the entire Tianyu Peak. Many small animals were terrified, scurrying around in fear.

Xiao Yi felt the immense sword intent, as if it were piercing her skin, causing a stinging sensation.

Before she could react, Ji Yan slashed toward Lu Shaoqing’s position.

In an instant, a sword light that pierced the heavens and earth appeared.

It seemed as though this sword light could cleave the world in two.

Xiao Yi’s pupils lost focus; in her vision, Ji Yan had vanished, leaving only the sword light that could split the heavens.

This sword light filled her entire world.

Xiao Yi’s body trembled uncontrollably, and this time, even her soul quivered.

Too strong.

Before this sword light, Xiao Yi felt like an ant in the vastness of the universe.

A terrifying chill ran down her spine, making her scalp tingle.

Too strong. Could she ever hope to catch up to such power?

At that moment, Xiao Yi’s Dao heart began to waver, crumbling under the pressure.

Shao Cheng noticed it in time and quickly waved his sleeve, isolating her from the overwhelming pressure. He shouted, “Wake up!”

Xiao Yi’s spirit trembled, her unfocused gaze slowly returning to clarity.

She stood still for a moment, then realized what had just happened.

Her face turned pale. She had almost lost her Dao heart just now, which would have ended her cultivation forever.

Looking at the invincible sword intent descending from the sky, she trembled and asked, “Is this… is this Senior Brother’s true strength? What is Senior Brother doing? Is he trying to help Master clean up the sect by killing that scum Second Senior Brother?”

Shao Cheng didn’t answer, his gaze fixed intently on Ji Yan. His eyes were filled with a hint of excitement, and his hands trembled slightly.

The sword light Ji Yan unleashed transformed into a white dragon.

The white dragon roared toward the heavens, its fierce aura shaking the void, causing the air to tremble.

The dragon snarled ferociously, its claws and fangs bared as it charged straight at Lu Shaoqing.

Lu Shaoqing’s voice echoed, roaring, “Are you insane? Did I provoke you?”

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

Xiao Yi focused and saw her Second Senior Brother jumping around under the tree.

He threw the Tianji tablet into the air, and the white dragon swallowed it whole, instantly shattering it to pieces.

Shao Cheng cried out in pain, “My Tianji tablet!”

“Damn it, I’ll kill him.”

Lu Shaoqing shouted, “Master, the Tianji tablet that Master Ling gave you has been destroyed by Senior Brother. Aren’t you going to deal with him?”

“Damn it, damn it,” Shao Cheng fumed, “You just wait, I’ll beat you to death.”

“Master, hurry up and do something!”

Lu Shaoqing continued to shout.

Shao Cheng ignored him completely.

Seeing that his master wasn’t paying attention to him, Lu Shaoqing had no choice. He flipped his wrist, and a long sword appeared in his hand. He gritted his teeth and said, “If I don’t get angry, do you think I’m just a sick cat?”

With fury, he slashed out with his sword.

A violent, scorching sword intent soared into the sky.

It was like the sun descending.

Xiao Yi was utterly shocked.
