Wu Lingchuan took a deep breath and tried to explain, "Master, your disciple truly didn't do it on purpose. Moreover, Qingyu has suffered so much outside; I cherish her too much to intentionally harm her."
"Second Senior Brother is really good to me," Ye Zhaozhao quickly added.
Yan Zhonghe couldn't believe it. He sneered and said, "For Qingyu's matter, I'll temporarily consider it an accident. But what's going on with your cultivation recently? My disciple, Yan Zhonghe's disciple, cannot be a good-for-nothing! Wu Lingchuan, you are known as the most talented disciple of the Overlord Blade Sect. If you can't even break through to the Soul Transformation stage, it's not just your own disgrace; I, your master, will lose all face because of you!"
Wu Lingchuan said with some trepidation, "Master, I... I don't know what's going on. My recent cultivation has definitely not been slacking, but..."
"Enough!" Yan Zhonghe snapped, "You've been so focused on ostracizing Qingyu, where would you have time to cultivate!"
Wu Lingchuan's face turned pale, and for a moment, he didn't know how to defend himself.
Let alone Yan Zhonghe.
Even he himself felt that the current situation was truly abnormal.
Originally.
He was already very close to the Soul Transformation stage, and his soul already showed faint signs of transformation.
He had planned to attempt breaking through to the Soul Transformation stage within a month.
However.
Ever since Fang Qingyu arrived, his cultivation suddenly stagnated.
After stagnating for a period, it even began to regress!
This phenomenon was simply too bizarre!
"Master. Your disciple will definitely cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the Soul Transformation stage as soon as possible," Wu Lingchuan gritted his teeth and said earnestly.
"That had better be the case," Yan Zhonghe said coldly, "This time, when you go to the Sword Sect, I want you to defeat all the Nascent Soul stage disciples of the Sword Sect until they are utterly demoralized! Wu Lingchuan, can you do it?"
Wu Lingchuan agreed without hesitation: "Your disciple can!"
Yan Zhonghe said expressionlessly, "This is the last chance I'm giving you!"
If it weren't for Wu Lingchuan being a rare top-grade lightning-attribute spiritual root with astonishing talent.
He would have already given up on this disciple when he pushed Fang Qingyu into the cold pond!
Wu Lingchuan could only nod silently. He was determined in his heart that this trip to the Sword Sect, he must make his master change his opinion of him.
"Congxin, you are at the Golden Core stage." Yan Zhonghe looked at his third disciple: "The Golden Core stage disciples of the Sword Sect are your prey."
Congxin agreed without hesitation: "Your disciple will certainly not fail the mission."
Yan Zhonghe looked at his three disciples and nodded with satisfaction: "The three of you are all my disciples. This time, I want the three of you to suppress the entire younger generation of the Sword Sect! Only then will it be a small shock to them! Remember, fight without restraint. As long as you don't kill the Sword Sect disciples, even if you cripple or disable them, I will bear all the consequences!"
Yan Zhonghe's three disciples all agreed.
Ye Zhaozhao's eyes flickered.
Just now.
That Wu Lingchuan had again generated 500 points of negative emotion for her!
Changing the parasitic target was indeed the correct approach.
"System, Yan Zhonghe is so confident, are his three disciples really that strong?" Ye Zhaozhao couldn't help but ask in her mind.
The system sneered: "Strong? The future of these three disciples can be said to be ruined! In fact, it can be said that the future of the young disciples in the entire Overlord Blade Sect has been ruined!"
Ye Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment and quickly asked, "What... what does that mean?"
"This Overlord Blade Sect's sudden rise is because fifty years ago, Yan Zhonghe accidentally obtained two mysterious cultivation methods. I used to think what kind of peerless techniques they were. But now, looking at their cultivation situation... I can confirm that these two mysterious techniques are the Heaven's Slaughter Art and Heaven's Blade."
"Don't these two techniques sound quite powerful?" Ye Zhaozhao frowned.
The system sneered: "Do you know what the Heaven's Slaughter Art slaughters? What the Heaven's Blade severs?"
The system didn't keep her in suspense and continued, "The Heaven's Slaughter Art slaughters the future path. The Heaven's Blade severs the future road. These two techniques were specifically used by some ancient powerful beings to train dead soldiers. Cultivating both of these techniques simultaneously greatly increases a cultivator's speed and makes their blade techniques exceptionally fierce. But the cost is that it overdraws future potential, severing the path to true ultimate power."
"Almost all of the younger generation of the Overlord Blade Sect have cultivated these two techniques, and for quite some time. Before the Body Integration stage, no problems are apparent; in fact, the cultivation speed will be much faster than before. But almost none of these people... can reach the Body Integration stage."
"This generation of disciples in the Overlord Blade Sect has been completely ruined."
The system's voice carried a hint of cruelty.
Ye Zhaozhao looked at the still smug Yan Zhonghe and couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in her heart.
Yan Zhonghe thought he had obtained peerless techniques, but in the end, he had directly ruined the younger generation of the Overlord Blade Sect!
"It's not just the younger generation of disciples; people like Yan Zhonghe, they didn't switch to cultivating the Heaven's Slaughter Art, but they did cultivate the Heaven's Blade. Cultivating only one has a slightly smaller impact, but their future potential has still been overdrawn. The entire Overlord Blade Sect's path to the Grand Dao has been severed," the system said calmly.
"Then what do we do?" Ye Zhaozhao couldn't help but worry.
She thought she had found a strong backer, but unexpectedly, she had boarded a sinking ship.
The system was very calm: "Us? What does it have to do with us? They won't discover the problem for a while. At the sect competition three years from now, with such a quick-success cultivation method, they will most likely be able to pull down the Sword Sect! At that time, when the Overlord Blade Sect becomes one of the Six Upper Sects, there will naturally be many resources allocated. As the sect leader's daughter, you will also receive immense benefits. When the Overlord Blade Sect discovers the problem decades later, you will have already achieved success in cultivation with my help. At that time, we'll drain the Overlord Blade Sect's luck and just find the next parasitic host."
What did the future of the Overlord Blade Sect have to do with it?
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhaozhao instantly calmed down.
Her eyes flickered.
Although she now knew that these two cultivation methods were not good things at all, but rather a huge trap.
However.
Overdrawing future potential for cultivation, the power of this Heaven's Blade was definitely astonishing.
This time, Ren Gu and the other two going to the Sword Sect would surely sweep through them!
It wouldn't be good if Wu Lingchuan regained his confidence in battle.
She had to follow along!
Besides keeping an eye on Wu Lingchuan, she was also looking forward to...
How unwilling and jealous Li Shuang would be when she discovered that she had suddenly become the sect leader's biological daughter, with a high status.
Just thinking about the expression Li Shuang might have made Ye Zhaozhao tremble with excitement.
"Master, can I come with you to the Sword Sect this time?" Ye Zhaozhao proactively asked.
