"What is it Little Qing?"

"Some core court disciples that left with Hong-ge just arrived!"

Cracka! Boom!

A deafening thunder bellowed through the sky scaring the entire sect as Aunt Lin looked down to calm Min Qing only to find out that she was nowhere to be found, and when she looked outside once again, Min Qing was already three miles into the sky, floating midair…

Aunt Lin was shocked to her core as she watched Min Qing floating there mid-air whilst looking at the direction of the incoming mass of people…

Min Qing's expressionless eyes darted all over the incoming experts and after scanning every single one of them, she frowned;

'I told you… Someone like him would never want to be with someone like you…'

'Before you can be valuable to him, you have to possess sufficient strength…'

An evil laughter echoed within Min Qing's head as she continued to stare at the oncoming troop…

'Just a little bit more, and I will fully regain my memories, and then I can remember where I hid my spatial ring…'

'Once I get it, I will bestow an even greater cultivation technique to you, and should you agree to my terms, not only will I give you the entire dynasty, I will also make sure that your Min Hong comes crawling back to you once he sees the disparity in both your powers…' The voice added;

"I don't know who you are or how you got here, and even though, you've been with me all my life, I still can't trust you to the extent of allowing you take control of my body…"

"Though, you absorb my emotions to recover your memories and have given me a cultivation technique that allowed me to reach the Saint Stage within just three days, you still have to do more than that to repay the sacrifices I have made for you…" Min Qing mumbled to herself;

'I know little kid, but if only you will cultivate the other technique I gave you, then you won't have to grow at such a slow pace…'

'Alright, I will sweeten the deal for you…'

'Allow me to absorb a little more of your emotions, and if I can remember where I kept my spirit ring, then I shall grant you a Nirvana Stage Cultivation, a Diamond Tier Weapon, and a Nirvana Stage Sword Art to go with it…'

'How about that?'

"For how much of my emotions?"

'Hmmm, let's say, if I can absorb just a single year worth of memories of this Min Hong of yours, then that should do…'

"No way!"

'Come on kid, think of it this way; I will be easing you of your pain, since this memories contain your strongest emotions, and it would also cleanse your Dao Heart a little bit and help you speed up the rate of your cultivation and Dao comprehension…'

"I don't care, his memories are off limits!"

'Silly kid, he might as well be screwing that Saint Stage Princess as we speak, and might have allowed the soul within him even absorb every shred of his memories of you, and you are here clinging to a false hope!' The voice became slightly aggressive;

'Not only does she have a greater power backing her, she also possess more treasures and opportunity she can give Min Hong than you, and you are still wondering why he chose her to follow him instead of you…'

'He didn't even get to tell you goodbye!'

The voice yelled again, and this time, his words really hit Min Qing where it hurt;

"No! Hong-ge would never break his promise!"

"No! Hong-ge loves me!"

Though Min Qing was saying all these things, her tears was revealing the doubts that were growing within her, as the sad rainy clouds over District 21 intensified and covered the entire District 20 and 22, whilst sad rain began to pour with massive intensity…

'That's it… Let it all out…'

'The more you face the reality, the clearer you heart and soul becomes, and that gives way to enlightenment!'

Kracka! Boom!

In that moment when the voice charged Min Qing's emotions, her cultivation broke into the 3 Star Saint Stage, whilst her Lightning and Water Dao broke into First Plane Law Level…

'That's it… Feel all that power coursing through your veins…'

'Yesss, embrace it… It is yours, wield it!'

Boom! Bang! Crash!

Wind whipped all over the area, as the rain poured with renewed vigor, black lightning flashed through the sky, and the thunder bellowed like an angry god chastising the world…

'Congratulations kid, your Wind Dao has just broken into the Intent Level…'

The voice spoke as the drenched Min Qing finally opened her eyes, and if someone was to look into them, they will get the fright of their lives, because within each of her eyes, were two concentric pupils…

Her long grey flowing hair whipped about in the stormy rain as the Yin clouds covering the sky lowered a little till it was just behind her and sparks of black lightning flickered in and out of here body…

Cold, frostbiting winds whipped all over these three districts, and when the incoming Su San, Pi Xi, and the rest of the experts looked at Min Qing from the distance, not only were they stunned by the weather phenomenon, they were also frightened by the three massive feminine shadows standing behind her;

One of them was familiar to all of us, and it was the shadow of the Heavenly Trench Sirena, whilst the other two was one of Min Qing, but about a thousand times, prettier, cold and indifferent;

It was like this Min Qing wouldn't even flinch in the presence of anyone or anything, but there was the character 'YIN' on its forehead, and its eyes were opened by the slightest slit, which meant the bloodline had actually begun to awaken…

Then lastly was the shadow of another Min Qing, except this one was radiating the aura of utmost innocence, benevolence and kindness; as a matter of fact, the pointed ears, and four wings behind it made it look like a Pixie, except it had some sort of an Ancient Lantern in one hand, and a glaive in the other…

"What are those!?" Su San was the first to blurt out;

"They all look like the shadows behind Fei Hong during our battle with the Diamond Crust Mercenaries!" Pi Xi added with wide eyes…

Min Qing stood there looking towards their direction, and every single one of these experts felt the hairs on their neck rise, as a deep sense of cold, chill and eeriness seeped into their very souls…

These 10 Peak Nascent Soul puppets Min Hong sent with Pi XI and co sensed this aura, and perceived it as a threat as they subconsciously bolted towards Min Qing with malicious intent;

'Eh?'

'Ten bugs are headed towards you, what do you want to do?'

"Any bug that becomes a nuisance needs to be crushed…"

Min Qing muttered as her eyes darted over these Peak Nascent Soul, and instantly, the entire District 21 witness the strangest sight ever; the rain which was falling downwards earlier defied gravity as Min Qing stretched her hand from afar...

Her little palm covered three of these ten Peak Nascent Soul experts, and the rain drops all froze and changed directions as they headed for these three experts, and began to pelt them…

With every drop of rain that touched these expert, that point of their body froze instantaneously, and in less than 3 seconds, three massive frozen sculptures fell out of the sky with their flying swords still intact and landed within District 21, standing like museum exhibitions…

Her other hand stretched towards another three experts to her right, and massive black Lightning Pythons bolted out of the grey clouds around Min Qing and snaked towards this three experts;

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Remnant sparks of the black lightning flickered around the area as Pi Xi and Su San saw three charred corpses fall out of the sky landing just few meters ahead of their frozen comrades…

Then Min Qing vanished abruptly, and reappeared in front of the stunned Su San, Bai Fan, Pi Xi and Ta Mi almost instantaneously, and threw four objects at them, prompting the duo to subconsciously catch all three objects...

But when they felt something leaking from their hands, they looked down at it only to find the heads of the last four Nascent Soul expert in their hands…

The four of them actually froze in fright, unmoving, with nothing but wide eyes, tightly shut jaws, and held breaths…

Then Min Qing gently floated over to Ta Mi and asked as gently as possible

"I can smell his aura on you… where is he?"

She chimed and the little kid who couldn't even breath obviously couldn't speak as his face was already turning blue from lack of oxygen;

Hu!

Min Qing sighed and simply sent a punch into the kids guts;

Bang!

The punch had little to no power behind it, but it was enough to force the tiny amount of oxygen left in the boy's lungs which automatically prompted the boy to inhale a huge gulp of air as he actually began to sweat in the frostbiting atmosphere…

"Alright, now answer me…"

"I don't know who you are talking about…"

The boy who hasn't met Min Qing before and just saw here slaughter several Peak Nascent Soul experts with just three moves obviously wouldn't want this witch to know where his newly accepted master was, and thus, he did what every good disciple would do; Lie!

"Your lies are pungent and suffocating, but out of goodwill, I would give you one more chance; where is he?"

The boy didn't know how or why, but the tap between his groins actually opened up as his legs became jelly, but he still managed to speak;

"I- I d-don't know w-who y-you are talking a-b- bout…" He stammered like an engine that ran out of oil…

"Alright, you leave me no choice then…"

Min Qing rose her hands and tried to touch the boy's forehead, but she suddenly spoke whilst looking at the boy;

"Stay still and calm, then perhaps, you all might live long enough to see another day…" Bai Fan, Pi Xi and Su San blanched in fear as their cultivation went dormant and stopped rotating;

"Good; that's more like it…" Min Qing spoke so indifferently that the trio could only lower their heads in defeat, and the shame that came with it...
