章節 94: Chapter 93

"Yes, so instead of taking you to the cloud riders' encampment, we'll directly send you to The Shackling Prison. It includes full board and lodging, along with heavy guard protection—absolutely safe."

Just moments ago, he had been calling her "Big Sister." Now, his tone abruptly shifted as he spoke these words with unwavering conviction. His expression transformed from innocent confidence to solemn seriousness.

March 7th and Stelle both displayed looks of surprise.

They had just been teasing Yanqing, never expecting that he had already realized the situation long beforehand! He simply chose not to reveal it earlier, prioritizing the investigation of Blade's whereabouts first.

Embarrassed, they exchanged glances, realizing they might have played the fool here.

Even the chat comments took a sudden turn!

"Despite his pride, Yanqing is quite astute and vigilant."

"Jing Yuan has taught him well!"

"He's been hiding it all along—our little bro Yanqing sure knows a thing or two!"

"But come to think of it, does Yanqing stand a chance against Jingliu? That's his master's master we're talking about."

Confronted with Yanqing's accusation, Jingliu maintained his composed demeanor.

"Little Brother, you need some solid grounds to accuse someone."

"Suspicious behavior and evasiveness are reason enough. Did you think I could be easily fooled just because I'm young?"

"For starters, how did a stranded traveler suddenly appear at a sealed-off port? Moreover, observing your movements along our journey, they were swift yet steady—hardly indicative of a blind person.

"As for swordsmanship, it's one thing to discern techniques through sound alone, but you even accurately identified the number of swords I wielded. Such insight is far from ordinary.

"You're not truly blind, are you?"

Jingliu replied, "I never claimed to be blind. You assumed so upon seeing my black veil."

"Hm..." This left Yanqing momentarily speechless.

Jingliu continued, "Don't worry, Little Brother. There's no grudge between us, nor have I harbored any ill intent towards Xianzhou."

"This black veil serves as proof of my unwillingness to succumb to Mara's influence and commit further madness when confronted with such sights."

On the deck of another ship nearby, Jing Yuan felt somewhat taken aback upon hearing this exchange.

He couldn't help but glance briefly at Jingliu beside him.

Her mental state and logical reasoning were remarkably clear.

The characteristics of her Mara-Struck form seemed barely discernible on the surface.

Could it be...she has truly gained control over her Mara-Struck self?

It was almost as if the Jingliu who had once been both mentor and friend had returned.

However...

This feeling was fleeting.

Jing Yuan swiftly suppressed his emotions.

These must only be superficial signs.

Let's see what unfolds next in the story!

"I came here solely to capture someone, and coincidentally, traveling with you seems fitting," Jingliu continued.

"You too...are seeking 'Blade'?" Yanqing asked tentatively.

"Ah, 'Blade,' is that his current name now? Abandoning oneself to sharp edges, tempered by swords, quite apt indeed."

"Take me to him, little brother."

"You're no match for me, so you wouldn't stand a chance against Blade either. With my presence, at least you won't throw your life away needlessly, little brother."

At that moment,

Jing Yuan, Jingliu, and Dan Heng, who were engrossed in the unfolding scene, simultaneously turned towards the door.

A hand was prying open the entrance between the deck and cabin.

Then,

Blade appeared there, seemingly dazed.

"Who called out to me?"

"No one did; it's part of the game's storyline," Dan Heng replied.

"Oh."

As if all emotions had been drained from him, Blade indifferently sat down on the ship's edge.

"Do you want to watch too?" Jing Yuan asked.

"Mm-hmm."

"Alright."

Jing Yuan placed Yuzhao on the ground, activating its projection mode, allowing all four of them to view together comfortably.

On the small bow of the ship,

the four individuals gathered around the glowing screen,

quietly watching the narrative unfold.

An observer unaware of the context might sigh with sentiment—

How peaceful and serene these moments!

"Until swords clash and their glows emerge, how can one determine victory or superiority? I advise you not to underestimate my blade," Yanqing said to Jingliu.

Jingliu responded, "I don't wish to engage in conflict with fellow Cloud Knights. How about this—"

"We have a competition using the fiends rampant aboard the Ruo Fu Immortal Ship as our test subjects. Let's see whose sword is faster and cuts down more, what do you say?"

"If you win, I'll willingly accept defeat, submit myself, face trial at The Shackling Prison, and abide by any subsequent judgment."

"But if I triumph, you must share Blade's whereabouts with me. Deal?"

Yanqing shook his head. "Cloud riders don't bargain with official duties, besides, you won't win."

"I admire your confidence. However, remember 'until swords clash and their glows emerge, how can one determine victory or superiority'?" Jingliu countered.

Upon witnessing this exchange, Blade unexpectedly spoke up again, "This kid really picked the wrong opponent."

"Do you recall that during your time as sword leader, you were undefeated?" Jingliu addressed Blade.

"It seems you're in quite good shape now, able to remember past events." Jingliu turned towards Blade.

"Hearing this dialogue triggered some memories in my mind," Blade replied.

Jing Yuan smiled slightly, "Yingxing... no, Blade. Your sudden calmness feels almost unfamiliar."

"Perhaps you should spar with him again?"

Dan Heng remained silent.

Blade ignored Jing Yuan, seemingly losing temporary interest in Dan Heng as well. His attention was fully absorbed by the unfolding scene before them.

In stark contrast to their tranquil moment,

***

The atmosphere on the other ship was entirely different!

Yanqing had excitedly risen from his seat.

"Finally, is it time for the competition?! If this involves testing our swords against fiends to see who's faster, I doubt I'll lose!"

"Considering Jingliu has been absent for so many years, she must have been searching for ways to suppress her Mara-Struck condition. Plus, with her age, she likely isn't at her peak anymore."

"On the other hand, I've diligently studied and trained these past few years, honing both theory and practical skills."

"My chances of winning should be higher, right?"

"No, let's stay cautious—fifty-fifty seems fair."

Yanqing clenched his fists tightly.

Although he wasn't personally competing, he felt fully immersed in the moment, almost wishing he could step through the screen to complete this trial himself!

Noticing his nervousness, March 7th reassured him, "Relax, little bro Yanqing, Stelle and I admit we underestimated you before."

"Go get 'em! Beat that Jingliu soundly!"

"We're all rooting for you!"

"You're welcome," Jingliu replied with a nod.

In the live stream chatroom, Little Gui and the viewers began earnestly analyzing and making predictions.

"I think Jingliu is still likely to be stronger!" Guinaifen opined. "Regardless of her current physical condition, she was once the sword leader. Yanqing is too young; he has yet to reach that level."

The chat responded:

"In 'Feiguang,' Jingliu was absolutely queen-like! But now, her demeanor seems more subdued—maybe she's indeed past her prime."

"Jingliu looks so frail and delicate. Is she truly that powerful? Could there have been some exaggeration in that short film?"

"It might be a close call! After all, as an old Xianzhou saying goes: 'Fists fear youth.' The same principle probably applies to this trial by sword."

"A former sword leader versus a future one—it'll definitely be a well-matched duel!"

"Yes, fantastic! We're about to witness an extraordinary match!"

"Completely outmatched! Jingliu's frenzy is terrifying!"

"Show me what you've got."

Within Little Gui's live stream, Yanqing had already engaged in battle.

During this shared quest, Feiguang could utilize Yanqing, and even the trial version performed impressively well. The Mara-Struck Soldiers inherently possessed ice attribute weaknesses, making quick work of them.

"Sword, swift as a swallow's leap."

"That's enough probing for now."

"Myriad Swords, Descend from Heaven!"

Little Gui marveled, "Yanqing's skills feel incredibly smooth—great responsiveness!"

"If I ever manage to obtain a Yanqing in the future, they'd make an excellent main DPS against bosses weak to ice attributes."

Soon, the battle concluded.

"I wonder if Jingliu is ready yet; let's hurry and catch up!"

However, upon looking back towards their starting point, Yanqing exclaimed in surprise, "Where did she go?"

Jingliu appeared ahead on the street, standing atop the corpse of a Mara-Struck Soldier.

"When did you get so far ahead?" Yanqing asked incredulously.

Jingliu turned her head and replied, "You're quite slow, little brother."

Inside the ship's cabin, witnessing this scene unfold, Yanqing's expression mirrored his character's in-game—beginning to show signs of unease.

"No way..." he muttered. "This can't be happening..." "It must just be a coincidence."

As they continued their pursuit, another sight caught his breath once more. This time, Jingliu hadn't even touched the Mara-Struck Soldiers!

Jingliu stood ahead, with two dead Mara-Struck bodies at her feet, seemingly having waited there for quite some time. In a calm voice, she queried, "What held you up this round?"

"You really need to step up your game," said Jingliu. "Otherwise, not even a star ferry would help you catch up."

This time, there was no need for March 7th and Stelle to exaggerate or read provocative comments from the chat. Simply observing this unfolding scenario left Yanqing increasingly anxious!

His blood pressure spiked!

Jingliu had to be doing this deliberately!

Yanqing wished he could personally hit the sprint button and chase after her relentlessly!

"How is it impossible to keep up even a little?!"

"I didn't even see her make a move!?"

"Jingliu, do you have teleportation powers or something?!"

However, as he continued watching, his heart grew increasingly disheartened.

Streamcaster Little Gui Zi was truly giving it his all. He constantly sprinted at top speed, without wasting any time on detours, always taking the shortest routes.

Yet, still unable to keep up!

Yanqing had anticipated variations in performance during the sword trial competition, even envisioning scenarios of hot pursuit. But this outcome caught him completely off guard!

It wasn't about who could wield their sword faster or strike more enemies! After eliminating the first monster early on, the rest became nothing but a race!

And that initial advantage only occurred because Jingliu let him make the first move. Following that, she consistently waited for him at various checkpoints!

All Yanqing saw were fields littered with Mara-Struck corpses!

How could one compete against that? This wasn't even a fair match anymore!

The disparity was simply too vast!

"I..." Yanqing muttered, drenched in sweat. "Could she be defeating them while moving...?!?"

Finally, after chasing relentlessly, Yanqing spotted Jingliu's figure ahead at a crossroads—and the monster before her was not yet dead!

His spirits, which had plummeted to rock bottom, soared once again, hope flickering in his eyes.

"There's still a chance...!"

"Right..."

In the live stream,

Guinaifen was also sweating profusely as she chased along, imagining herself in Yanqing's shoes.

She didn't want such a crushing defeat either!

"It has been a long time since I felt this exhilarated..."

Jingliu's voice echoed in the background.

Guinaifen paused, her mouth agape.

The tone of Jingliu's voice had subtly changed compared to before!

Previously, Jingliu's voice was always icy and devoid of emotion, conveying a sense of detachment from worldly affairs. Now, there was a hint of suppressed excitement at the end of that sentence!

"Oh no..."

"This tone sounds unsettling!"

As Guinaifen caught up to Jingliu,

the monstrous creature still remained unvanquished!

Jingliu spoke, "It's been too long since wielding my sword; momentarily captivated, I nearly succumbed to Mara's influence."

"Come on, Little Brother. The encore performance is just for you."

The tone of Jingliu's voice had completely shifted!

Guinaifen wiped away her sweat.

"Uh-oh, it's happening! Something's not right!"

"Is Jingliu's Mara-Struck condition about to flare up?!"

[Entering Combat]

In the lower-left corner, two character names appeared:

Yanqing, Jingliu.

Guinaifen was taken aback!

"Wow!"

"Jingliu has joined our team!"

"Could we finally see Jingliu in action?"

It was now their turn to move.

Let's start with Yanqing's combat skill!

Facing four enemies, including an elite Shapeshifter in the middle, honestly, Guinaifen doubted that Yanqing alone could handle them. The question was, what attribute would Jingliu possess? Would they, like during the battle against the Luocha, provide a crucial buff at the right moment—casting a shield or healing Yanqing?

After executing his skill,

Jingliu assessed, "Hesitant and indecisive, lacking strength."

"Where did your confidence go just now?"

"It's my turn."

Guinaifen stared intently at Jingliu, expecting either a combat skill or perhaps the activation of some talent. However, it turned out to be just a basic attack!

Yet, the damage dealt was exceptionally high!

Instantly, one Inner Core cultivator was felled!

"Strike decisively, leaving no room for error—a single blow must ensure death!" As Jingliu continued attacking, their voice grew increasingly fervent. "Jing Yuan taught you how to slay demonic creatures... Did he also teach you how to deal with Xianzhou people fallen to Mara-Struck affliction?" Their tone carried a trembling note, as if a long-suppressed addict had suddenly broken a taboo!

Inside the cabin,

Yanqing, as the one directly involved, was utterly stunned!

Even March 7th instinctively clutched at Stelle's arm.

Her hair stood on end with fear!

As for Yanqing, he remained frozen in place, as if under a body-lock spell, staring incredulously at this unfolding scene from the game.

"If that sword were aimed at you, could you defend against it?"

"Do you truly believe swordsmanship is just about winning or losing, future Sword Leader?"

These questions seemed to pierce through the game and its storyline, directly confronting Yanqing's inner self!

He collapsed weakly into his seat.

At the same moment,

the battle within the game concluded.

And Yanqing reluctantly admitted, "...I lost."

Stelle opened the chat window, revealing the barrage of comments.

"Wow! This Jingliu is terrifying!"

"It's like she suddenly transformed into another person!"

"This isn't just a sword trial anymore; it's pure slaughter!"

"Mara-Struck: Stay away from me!"

"I'm losing my mind! Going insane!"

"Yanqing, run fast!"

"Now I can truly feel the horror of Jingliu's Mara-Struck state back then! And this is likely just the tip of the iceberg!"

However...

Just as everyone thought it was over, with victory already decided, Jingliu spoke in an eerie tone:

"The match isn't finished yet. My final strike never had a chance to land; my opponent vanished from the field..."

She turned her head.

Despite the black veil obscuring her face, her gaze seemed to pierce through everything, focusing on Yanqing before her.

"A sword drawn without purpose... heh heh..."

"Desecrating the divine will of Arbiter Siming is profoundly ominous."

Upon hearing these words,

everyone watching felt an impending sense of catastrophe!

Yanqing's cold sweat dripped profusely down his cheeks.

A peculiar smirk curved at the corners of Jingliu's mouth.

"With your strength," she said, "encountering Blade would lead you straight to death anyway."

"Instead of facing certain doom, I offer you a more dignified choice—witness my thousand-honed sword and meet your end as a true swordsman."

"Little brother, would you like to take one of my strikes?"

The entire arena fell silent!

No one could have anticipated this twist!

In the final moments!

Jingliu unexpectedly aimed his sword directly at Yanqing!

Earlier, predictions had suggested a close match, with both competitors evenly matched...

Now, those thoughts were long forgotten, tossed to the farthest reaches of their minds!

This fucking battle was not even remotely on the same level!

What's the point in continuing?!

Guinaifen snapped back to reality and couldn't help but shout:

"Don't accept it!"

"Absolutely don't take that challenge!"

"Jingliu has gone insane!"

"Yanqing, if you face this attack, your life is forfeit!"

At that moment, three options appeared simultaneously:

[Do Not Accept!]

[DO NOT ACCEPT!!]

[ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ACCEPT!!!]

******

All three options conveyed the same message!

Seemingly driven by survival instinct, there was no need for hesitation or deliberation!

However, after selecting one of the options,

Yanqing gritted his teeth.

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward!

Within the live stream,

not just Guinaifen, but all viewers were utterly shocked!

"Damn! Yanqing, you're truly brave!"

"What's with accepting that? I would've run for it - why didn't they let me escape!"

"A hero to the end!"

"This kid has nerves of steel!"

"Farewell, Yanqing. No matter what, you upheld the honor of the Roaming Cloud Riders till the last moment!"

"Yanqing, I respect you now! You deserve the title 'Luofu's First Warrior'!"

Inside the cabin, Yanqing slumped in his seat, feeling utterly chilled.

His breath came rapid and shallow!

Hands trembling slightly, he found solace only when touching the icy hilt of his sword at his waist.

"Is this where I'm destined to sacrifice my life?"

"Damn..."

"I haven't yet become the 'sword leader' or helped the General resolve Luofu's looming threats..."

A thought suddenly struck him:

If he were to die by Jingliu's hand, would the General seek revenge for him? However, Jingliu's true strength was unfathomable!

If pushed to her limit and forced to unleash her suppressed power fully, Luofu would face an impending catastrophe...

Yanqing's thoughts raced incessantly, as if experiencing a life flashing before his eyes on the brink of death.

On the other side:

Jing Yuan appeared composed outwardly.

However, internally, his palms were sweating profusely!

As he watched Jingliu leap into the air,

drawing a sword forged from solid ice,

his heart skipped a beat.

Jingliu...

Are you truly intent on killing?!

But in the next moment,

he noticed the black veil still covering her eyes, and realization dawned upon him.

"Phew..."

Jingliu naturally sensed the change in Jing Yuan's breathing.

A profound smile flickered across her face.

Confronted with the descending blade's sword qi, Yanqing summoned all his lifetime of training.

He commanded every flying sword he could control to whirl around him.

The colossal sword qi, shimmering like moonlight, rapidly approached.

Yanqing let out a fierce roar and, with all his might, swung forward!

"Buzz!!"

A gap was successfully carved amidst the torrential sword qi!

Instantaneously, massive icicles formed on either side of him.

Countless small ice shards cascaded down from the air.

Yanqing gasped heavily for breath, barely able to stand steady!

Inside the cabin, Yanqing's eyes widened with disbelief.

"I-I survived?! Did I really manage it? Successfully blocked Jingliu's strike?!"

March 7th and Stelle began clapping enthusiastically.

Throughout this mission, despite constantly being pummeled and mocked, at the final moment, Yanqing didn't retreat. He faced that deadly blow head-on—an act deserving of praise alone.

After all, his opponent was none other than Jingliu herself!

The chat in the live stream also erupted with comments.

"Truly deserving to be called future swordmaster!"

"Yanqing gave it his all."

"Woah! Just one strike and if Jingliu had followed up with another, Yanqing would've been done for!"

"After watching from start to finish, there's only one word to describe this woman—Killjoy!"

"Everyone was mistaken! Jingliu's strength hasn't declined; instead, she's become even more terrifying than before!"

While Yanqing stood dazed,

Jing Liurou had already vanished.

Her voice lingered behind: "I'll be taking those records you found."

"Thanks, little brother."

On the ground remained a note:

"[With this strike, I offer my gratitude. Our connection runs deep; our paths shall cross again.]"

After reading the note, the recovered Yanqing murmured to himself, "This enigmatic woman also seeks Blade's whereabouts..."

"This won't do. Regardless of her intentions towards the criminal, we cannot let her get ahead of us."

"I must hasten my pace..."

All these events were recorded within the [Trace-Revealing Jade Pendant]. Eventually, it was retrieved by a Trailblazer and returned to the Seat of Divine Foresight, informing Jing Yuan of what transpired.

Thus, Yanqing's mission, "[Frostblade's Trial]," concluded.

"She even had time to leave a message??"

"No way! Are we still chasing her? Didn't you see how fast she was moving just now?"

"Yanqing, your determination is truly remarkable! Despite everything that's happened, you're still intent on pursuing Blade! When can I have such unwavering resolve...?"

"Yan Bao, let's not chase anymore! Let's go back and rest for a bit!"

"My goodness! Is Yanqing planning to engage Blade again?"

On the deck, after reading about this mission, Jing Yuan felt a mix of emotions swirling within him.

From his perspective, it was clear that Jingliu's final strike wasn't genuinely intended to kill Yanqing but rather as a token of gratitude—a lesson meant for Yanqing's enlightenment!

After pondering briefly, he turned to Jingliu beside him and said, "This child has truly caused you much concern."

Despite wearing a black veil, Jingliu had heard every detail of the incident with perfect clarity.

"It's no trouble; just playing along," she replied.

At that moment, there came a chime from Dan Heng's Yuzhao device.

It was a message from March 7th, containing a video link along with the text:

"Dan Heng, how are things on your end? Beware, that woman Jingliu is incredibly dangerous—don't provoke her!"

"This video was just released by Feathered Spirit. It elaborates on our recent mission; watch it quickly, and you'll understand why I'm saying this."

Fortunately, Jingliu's eyes were covered, preventing her from seeing the messages on Dan Heng's Yuzhao screen and avoiding an awkward situation.

Dan Heng first activated the do-not-disturb mode, then clicked open the video link.

Similar to the previous short film "Flying Light," this one was titled "[Cloud Rider Martial Codex: The Art of Swordsmanship]."

Upon reading the title, Jing Yuan's gaze subtly shifted.

"Could it be a documentary about the cloud riders' sword-wielding spirit?"

"It likely pertains to her," Dan Heng glanced at Jingliu.

Jingliu responded indifferently, "No matter. Go ahead and play it."

A full moon appeared on the screen.

Jingliu's voice echoed, "Little brother, since fate has brought us together on this journey, I can't help but ask."

"Given your young age, why did you choose to embark on the path of swordsmanship?"

"Oh, there's no harm in telling you," Yanqing replied.

"At first, it was after hearing the General speak about the previous swordmaster's exploits."

"She wielded her solitary blade invincibly, conquering all before her."

"I yearned for that, envisioning myself one day claiming the title of swordmaster."

This...was from their shared experience during the previous mission!

Everyone present immediately recognized it.

It seemed to be an expanded retelling of past events, presented in the form of a short film by Feathered Spirit.

As Jingliu heard this dialogue,

he couldn't resist letting out a soft chuckle.

Ah, Yanqing...

Little did he know!

His idol, the invincible [Swordmaster] of the previous generation—

It was none other than this "Big Sister" standing before him!

"So, it's for fame?" Jing Yuan quickly added, "Also, to fulfill General's expectations and repay his kindness in teaching me."

"Without the General's mentorship, I wouldn't be who I am today."

"In that case, is it for camaraderie?"

Yanqing responded, "Not just that. One day, I will embark on campaigns alongside my fellow Cloud Knights."

"To safeguard Luofu, vanquishing enemies and overcoming challenges."

"My loyalty lies with the Alliance; through The Hunt across all lands, I shall put my skills to worthy use!"

In the ensuing scene,

a golden silhouette emerged.

One by one, Cloud Knight soldiers stood atop clouds, their armor gleaming with golden hues under the radiant sky, forming majestic outlines.

This spectacle evoked the image of ten thousand celestial warriors descending from heaven!

Leading them at the forefront,

holding a heavy sword, was none other than Jingliu himself!

Upon witnessing this vision,

Jing Yuan's mouth slightly gaped in surprise!

For it depicted!

This was the spectacle of Jingliu as the Luofu Swordmaster during her prime, leading campaigns across all directions!

Not only was it the epitome of glory from that era, but also the most cherished vision in the heart of young Jing Yuan, then a disciple of Jingliu.

Now, unexpectedly, this scene unfolded before him within the video montage!

Even Jing Yuan momentarily lost himself, his thoughts seemingly transported back to those triumphant dawns of long ago.

"Hah... In the end, it's for loyalty and righteousness."

"Big Sister, why so many questions? And why do you wield your sword?"

Jingliu softly replied, "I too have been ensnared by fame and fortune, yet paused by bonds of friendship and devotion..."

Suddenly, the black veil dissipated!

Revealing a pair of crimson eyes!

Within these pupils reflected the silhouette of Jingliu, depicted in shades of black and white.

"But ultimately, they all abandoned this sword."

After a brief moment of melancholy,

the tone abruptly shifted!

It became fervent and frenzied!

"For a sword is just a sword! A tool to sever life and death! So pure, it cannot tolerate any external influences to diminish its essence!"

"Only by traversing the fiery path of wrath, the bladed path of greed, and the blood-soaked path of ignorance, cutting through all obstacles..."

"Only then can you truly understand why you wield your sword."

The voice had become heart-wrenchingly intense!

Jing Yuan's hands involuntarily trembled at this point, nearly mistaking Jingliu beside him for undergoing a transformation!

It seemed as though even Jingliu was deeply affected by her own words.

Unbeknownst to them, she had removed her black veil at some moment. Her eyes, gleaming with a blood-red light, stared intently at the scene unfolding on the screen.

Dan Heng noticed Jingliu's change and inwardly exclaimed, "Not good!"

The emotions portrayed in this short film were explosively powerful, affecting even Jingliu herself!

In the footage, a blood moon appeared, its crimson glow igniting a raging wildfire below.

"Do you understand now, future Swordmaster?"

On the long bridge, Jingliu slowly approached Yanqing, sneering at her reckless, death-defying opponent. As if allowing a thousand years of pent-up emotions to surge forth like a tidal wave, she spoke these words.

No wonder Yanqing couldn't doubt their sincerity; even Dan Heng and Jing Yuan, witnessing this scene, would not have questioned it!

In the next instant, Jingliu was about to fully unleash her Mara-Struck form—a complete, unrestrained explosion, heedless of all consequences, driven by madness and obsession!

Until this moment...

Dan Heng had previously dreamt about Jingliu, but those fragmented memories were remnants from the previous High Elder's experiences. In his dreams, she appeared as a caring yet occasionally stern elder sister figure.

Later, when traveling with her in reality, he perceived her as distant and cold, keeping others at arm's length.

But now!

All previous impressions were utterly shattered!

For those afflicted by Mara-Strike, no matter how temporarily suppressed, once the affliction flares up, they become uncontrollably violent. They attack indiscriminately, regardless of whether you're friend or foe, sparing none!

As evident in the current scene with Jingliu.

It was clear that she strongly resonated with her own words in the video!

Her killing intent intermittently lingered on each of the three companions nearby.

Suddenly,

the intense background music swelled again!

A close-up shot of Jingliu filled the entire screen.

"I wield my sword solely to vanquish enemies, nothing more."

At this moment, the Jingliu on-screen mirrored almost exactly the Jingliu standing beside them.

It felt less like watching a video and more like looking into a mirror!

Jingliu exclaimed excitedly, "Impressive, truly impressive! To see my inner thoughts reflected so vividly within a mere video!"

"Even for an envoy of Memories Chamber, it's astounding how accurately this reflects my understanding of the path of the sword!"

"[Feathered Spirit], I commend your game! It truly resonates with me!"
