329 Infinite Plot Twists
Inside the tower.
During the punishment level.
Wang Wen followed the woman to the base of a cloud-covered mountain range.
The woman took a clear jade and pressed it against the stone wall.
The scenery in front of him changed, and stone steps leading upward appeared.
The light in Wang Wen’s eyes became brighter. He used the illusion-breaking method to drain his spiritual power, but he discovered that he was not in any illusion.
The woman led Wang Wen up the stairs.
As they walked up the steps, the original path they came from gradually returned to the appearance of a green stone wall, like a closed door.
Wang Wen reached out and touched it with curiosity. It did not feel at all like an empty camouflage.
He admired the sight and clicked his tongue.
He spun around.
The woman standing nearby was already at the top of the stone steps.
She smiled at Wang Wen and said, “Welcome, Guest. I hope you do not mind our sloppy manners and contribute your spiritual power with peace of mind.”
Wang Wen narrowed his eyes and looked calmly up the stone steps. Energy had quietly accumulated in his hand, ready to erupt at any moment.
A figure appeared beside the woman gradually.
It was the senior brother who had died in the feline’s mouth!
“Well done, Junior Sister,” the senior brother said with a smile. “I did not expect you to actually trick him!”
The woman was taken aback, but she quickly recovered and smiled as she shook her head. “He is far too stupid. He had no reason to suspect anything. Your praise is undeserved for such a simple task.”
“Then let me finish it!” The senior brother drew his long sword and yelled.
Before he finished his sentence…
He slashed quickly with his long sword, and a visible sword qi severed half of the woman’s arm.
Wang Wen was taken aback. The abrupt turn nearly caused him to lose control and toss the small sun in his hand.
The woman had a pale complexion. Her eyes were filled with shock as she covered her bleeding wound and retreated.
“Junior Sister, you didn’t know I have a physical body that can escape the wind-stabilizing beast’s mouth? Are you surprised I am here? If I am not mistaken, that wind-stabilizing beast is not an ordinary wind-stabilizing beast at all,” the senior brother said through gritted teeth. “It is a powerful demonic beast that has been fed spiritual pills for the entire year! His strength is beyond any disciples on our level.”
He drew his sword and aimed it at the woman. “Both you and your master are too ambitious. You purposefully set this trap to kill me so that you could take this mission’s reward for yourself!”
Wang Wen realized what was going on.
Those two had a complicated relationship.
“Give me your life since that is the case!” The senior brother’s long sword pressed forward and pierced the woman’s body precisely.
It went differently.
She was neither surprised nor perplexed.
Her wound did not bleed.
She laughed.
His entire appearance gradually changed.
She had gone from a young and beautiful woman to an elderly woman with wrinkles on her face.
Her severed hand had also healed completely.
She smiled at her dazed senior brother as she clapped her hands. “Congratulations. You not only saw the true strength of the wind-stabilizing beast, but you also returned here safely. You did an excellent job completing the mission’s final challenge. As the primary examiner, I am pleased to inform you that the promotion is yours.”
In a daze, the senior brother exclaimed, “Master, why did you take on the appearance of Junior Sister Xiang Er?”
The elderly woman smiled warmly.
“Your junior sister, Xiang Er, is too weak,” she said. “I have repeatedly assured her that I will protect her in secret and ensure that nothing bad happens to her. Furthermore, I have raised that wind-stabilizing beast for many years. It has an unspoken bond with me, and she’s not ruthless enough to finish the task. I have no other option but to do it myself.”
The air around them twisted slowly, revealing the woman’s figure.
“I am sorry, Senior Brother,” she said shyly to her senior brother. “Master has been watching you the entire time. He kept me hidden; all I could do was watch and listen. My master has heard everything you have said to me.”
The senior brother was taken aback.
Wang Wen was even more taken aback.
‘Wow, the young woman twisting her waist while holding my hand was an old witch?’
He lowered his head and examined his hand.
He was debating whether to cut it off.
At that moment…
The situation described above had changed yet again.
“Sect Master, everything is as you expected,” the dazed senior brother looked at the sky and said as he put away his long sword. “Uncle-master and his associates are not traitors. Everything is in order!”
The old woman’s friendly smile froze.
A middle-aged man dressed in a white robe with golden edges slowly walked out of the room.
With his hands behind his back, he looked down at the group.
“Xiao Long, you have done well,” he said clearly. “Senior Sister Shan, you clearly have the authority to promote people in the sect, but you do not play favorites; you are simply being open-minded. We can see your devotion to the sect through this mission. From today onward, all disciples must respect you as Grandmaster as long as the sect does not perish!”
The old woman was taken aback.
The young woman was also taken aback.
Wang Wen, who was watching the show, was equally taken aback.
The senior brother smiled modestly and led the way in bowing to the old woman. “Grandmaster.”
His voice broke.
The old woman snapped back to her senses.
Her face was filled with fear rather than joy.
She stood motionless, exaggeratingly waving her arms and shouting at the top of her lungs, “Don’t! Don’t do it! Everyone, stop!”
Unfortunately, it appeared that she was too late.
The middle-aged man in mid-air was perplexed as to why the Grandmaster was so animated.
However, the sword qi had already pierced his body in all directions like a sieve.
The man spat a large amount of blood. His white robe was dyed blood-red.
With a trembling finger, he pointed at the old woman, his face perplexed.
“Junior Brother, I have let you down!” the old woman cried, kneeling on the ground in tears. “Greed blinded me, and a villain deceived me. I assumed you intended to push me aside and take over my cultivation resources. I didn’t expect you to give me the sect’s only lifetime offering! I should never have doubted you, Junior Brother!”
The young woman next to her…
She abruptly walked toward her senior brother.
They exchanged a friendly smile.
The woman motioned with her hand in the air.
The sword qi that had pierced the middle-aged man flew back up and stabbed the old woman.
“Since the two of you are so reluctant to leave, you should go together,” the senior brother said, shedding his previous humble appearance.
Once that was done…
The old woman’s body was riddled with bloody wounds.
She looked at the sword qi on her body in disbelief and struggled to raise her head to look at the young man and woman. She shook her blood-splattered finger and yelled angrily, “You two! You—”
The middle-aged man fell from the sky.
He collapsed like a broken doll that no one wanted.
The old woman’s blood flowed like a river, and her angry eyes were wide open.
The young woman turned and kissed the young man on the lips. Then she watched as the man fell down the stairs, his face pale.
Finally, the woman with a slim waist stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at Wang Wen, the only one still alive. She laughed while covering her mouth. “You’ve seen too much.”
The sword qi rose into the sky once more.
Wang Wen was the new target.
Wang Wen, who had exited the drama-watching mode, smiled faintly, even fainter than a woman’s smile. He realized he had changed from an audience to an actor. “What a sequence of twists!” he exclaimed. “I nearly broke my waist.”
