LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Forty years ago, the entire Song Dynasty was shaken.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Jin Prince Zhao Heng was deposed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He lost his abilities for life.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And the instigator turned out to be none other than Shen Qingqing, one of the Heavenly Fragrance Three Beauties of the Heavenly Fragrance Sect, itself one of the Eight Great Sects.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At that moment, the whole Court fell into a strange silence.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No minister dared to speak out indignantly, not even those civil and military officials who belonged to the Jin Prince’s own faction.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Even the Emperor himself had no reason to hold the alliance accountable.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Because it was Zhao Heng who was at fault first, forcibly taking a disciple of the Heavenly Fragrance Sect as a concubine.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At the same time, the Emperor investigated and discovered a truth that infuriated him.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When had the courtesan been a disciple of Heavenly Fragrance?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Emperor clenched the secret report tightly, his face ashen.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But what could he do?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Complain to the alliance?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At that time, the Emperor knew full well the status of the Heavenly Fragrance Sect among the Eight Great Sects.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If he went to report them in the morning, by the afternoon he’d be carried out horizontally.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There was simply no solution.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Unless mortals had the power to fight immortals, there was nothing to do but swallow this bitter pill.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Besides, the demon invasion was imminent.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He could not, for the sake of one son, destroy the entire alliance of humanity.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After all, the ferocious beasts from the East Sea still needed the sects to suppress them.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In the end, the case of the Jin Prince’s deposition ended as the Song Dynasty chose compromise.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Deprived of his manhood, Jin Prince soon sank into depression and died in the palace within months.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As for whether it was natural death or murder, no one could say.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After the Jin Prince’s death, the Song Court underwent great upheaval.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
With his greatest rival gone, the present Emperor Zhao Zong ascended the throne.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The very first thing Zhao Zong did upon taking the throne was to issue a strict order throughout Song: no matter civil or military, none were to provoke disciples of the sects.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Fortunately, aside from some rural minor sects, all Eight Great Sects imposed strict discipline on their disciples, causing no trouble for the Song Dynasty.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
For decades since, relations had remained relatively harmonious.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The first thing Zhao Zong did after ascending was not to grant amnesty to the world, but to personally ascend Tianxin Mountain on behalf of the Royal Family to apologize and make amends to Yan Xiaoyu.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He did not know whether the Jin Prince’s strange death had anything to do with her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As long as he, as the reigning Emperor, went in person to apologize and make amends.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then there would be no reason for her to keep troubling the Royal Family.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Yet what Zhao Zong did not know was that his gesture was ultimately pointless.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Yan Xiaoyu never hated the Royal Family of Song; from beginning to end, the one she hated was Jin Prince Zhao Heng alone.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After the Jin Prince died, she devoted herself wholly to a long and dull cultivation.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Shen Qingqing.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She was the only light in Yan Xiaoyu’s dark life; Yan Xiaoyu had long regarded Shen Qingqing as her Master.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Because of Zhao Heng, she had lost all interest in romantic feelings between men and women.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Yan Xiaoyu only wished to cultivate diligently, to catch up to her benefactor and Master as soon as possible, and to always stay by her side, at her command.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But now, you’re telling me there’s someone else by Shen Qingqing’s side?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And it’s a brand new disciple who just joined?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Yan Xiaoyu felt indignant, but after her investigation, she discovered—
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This new disciple’s talent was actually so monstrous.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Breaking through to Mortal Transcendence in just one month?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Yan Xiaoyu was startled.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She considered her own Untainted Body to be at the very peak of talent—even if she lost her Yuan Yin and was thus a bit less effective, she was still a one-in-ten-thousand prodigy.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Even so, it took her a year to reach Mortal Transcendence.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Not only that, the little junior sister who always followed Chen Xiaoyan also reached Mortal Transcendence in a month.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And another, Yunyun Doesn’t Want to Heal, had just entered Mortal Transcendence as well.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Three people in a row all broke through to Mortal Transcendence in about a month—this left Yan Xiaoyu feeling thoroughly emo.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Didn’t Sect Leader Shen say that the Untainted Body was the most suited for cultivating the Fragrant Intent Art?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Didn’t she say that cultivating it would yield twice the results with half the effort?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then why was it like this?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Yan Xiaoyu gazed at the ten new disciples on the Guangchang, feeling a little listless. ***
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At the center of the Guangchang.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The ten each chose a sect puppet at will.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Chongchong obediently picked Shushan, Xianyun Zhenwu.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Yilian Youmeng, a recently joined girl, accepted Chen Xiaoyan’s invitation and chose the Divine Strategy Mansion.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As for Chen Xiaoyan herself, she also chose the Divine Strategy Mansion.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
With her healing capacity, any choice was the same.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
So why pick a tank?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ahem, mainly to annoy a certain someone.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Yunyun Doesn’t Want to Heal and Youyou Won’t Heal—these IDs clearly showed they were iron sisters… cough, besties.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
One picked Zhenwu, one picked Divine Strategy.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Trying to play it safe?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Seeing their chosen puppets, Chen Xiaoyan’s lips curled up as she hatched a plan.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Before long, Shen Qingqing began randomizing the groups.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Chen Xiaoyan was matched with a girl named Heal With a Hammer, with Tangmen as her puppet.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The cute girl before her looked timidly at her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That frightened look, as if she were facing some terrifying monster.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Xiaoyan Da Luo, please… go easy on me.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“We’ll see.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Chen Xiaoyan grinned, sizing up the girl.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She really didn’t match her ID at all, the gap was huge.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Go, Xiaoyan-jie, beat her up!” someone in the audience suddenly shouted, drawing many looks.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Chen Xiaoyan twitched her mouth.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That brat was getting jealous again.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Heal With a Hammer didn’t say much, immediately commanding her puppet to attack.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The next second, the Tangmen puppet vanished from sight.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Drizzle Envelops the Light.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Chen Xiaoyan immediately attached a dog leash to the Divine Strategy Mansion puppet.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Divine Strategy puppet activated its super armor, standing tall with its spear, unmoving.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Swish swish”—several sharp sounds echoed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Silver flashes shot from all directions toward the Divine Strategy puppet.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Sweep the Eight Directions.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Divine Strategy puppet used a skill to knock away the hidden weapons in front.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But it couldn’t do anything about the ones behind and could only take the hits head-on.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The silver lights struck its back, dropping its health by one-seventh.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Those silver lights were hidden weapons shaped like iron nails.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“The hidden weapons are poisoned,” at this time, the Divine Strategy puppet reported its status to Chen Xiaoyan.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Puppets weren’t lifeless; their setting in the game was similar to intelligent robots.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
However, they weren’t nearly as smart and lacked the ability to learn.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Chen Xiaoyan was a little surprised, looking at Heal With a Hammer and smiling: “Little sister, you ask me to go easy, but you don’t hold back at all—you even use poison.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Hehe, if I went easy on a Da Luo like you, wouldn’t I just be asking for trouble? Anyway, Da Luo, don’t blame this newbie—I didn’t tell it to use poison!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“All right, then let’s continue.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Chen Xiaoyan spread her hands, signaling the Divine Strategy puppet to give up defense and go on the offensive.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As a tank, Divine Strategy didn’t care about movement speed, not like Shushan’s glass cannons.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Once Tangmen’s stealth ended.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Divine Strategy puppet struck with Dragon Break, launching Tangmen into the air.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Immediately after, it brandished its spear for normal attacks.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Tangmen puppet’s health slowly dropped.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Divine Strategy’s damage wasn’t high; in a few seconds, it only shaved off a quarter of Tangmen’s health—also a squishy class.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Heal With a Hammer instantly cast Spring Breeze Guide.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Chen Xiaoyan stood still, unmoving.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She even looked a little bored.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Hurry up, I want to go challenge Yunyun Doesn’t Want to Heal next.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“When it stabs at you, make sure to dodge!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Heal With a Hammer nervously reminded her Tangmen puppet.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The puppet nodded back in understanding.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The two played for half an hour without a winner.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Divine Strategy had high defense but was too clunky—its only charge skill was Dragon Break. If dodged, it was easily kited.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Tangmen was agile, with both stealth and charge skills, but just couldn’t break through.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After half an hour, she managed to scratch away two-thirds of Divine Strategy’s health, only for Chen Xiaoyan to heal it right back to full with Spring Breeze Guide and Drizzle Envelops the Light.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Why did Xiaoyan-jie pick Divine Strategy? If she picked Shushan, the fight would’ve been over ages ago,” Chongchong thought to herself.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As she wondered in vain, Yunyun Doesn’t Want to Heal and Youyou Won’t Heal were off to the side, heatedly discussing Chen Xiaoyan.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If she faced off with Chen Xiaoyan—Zhenwu versus Divine Strategy—one a semi-tank, the other a full tank, both sides with main healers.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That scene wouldn’t be a sect tournament but a torture contest.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Whoever emptied their Fragrant Intent first would lose.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I admit defeat,” Heal With a Hammer raised her hand and called out to the stage.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Out of Fragrant Intent?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Chen Xiaoyan grinned mischievously, a trace of schadenfreude in her expression.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Heal With a Hammer gave her a resentful glance, then silently walked to the side.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Indeed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Half an hour was enough to exhaust her Fragrant Intent.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If she sat down to meditate and recover it now, she’d just become a target for the Divine Strategy puppet’s Dragon Break.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And with Tangmen being pure DPS, it couldn’t protect the fragile healer—a single spear could pound her as much as it wanted.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The damage wasn’t high, but the pain was real.
