The whole family is insanely eavesdropping on my thoughts Chapter 491
Chapter 491: Coming for Me
This novel is translated and hosted on Bcatranslation
The moment the barrier shattered, countless demon clans swarmed into the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, darting through the mountain peak as if searching for something.
“Go, activate the Sect-Protection Sword Technique left by the Sword Sovereign!”
“The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is her lifelong effort! We shall not allow any outsiders to trample upon it!” An elderly man with white hair and white brows arrived from the distance. Xu Fan immediately called out, “Master!”
“Where is Ming Kong?”
“The Sect Master is in seclusion and has yet to emerge,” a young disciple replied in a hushed voice.
The white-haired elder said nothing, merely waving his hand. “All disciples, come with me and activate the Sect-Protection Sword Technique.”
At the entrance of the sect, Lu Chao Chao had left behind three strands of sword intent. One was for disciples to comprehend sword intent, while the other two were attack-oriented sword techniques that could only be activated in times of crisis.
“Xuan Cang, you are the Law Enforcement Elder, yet instead of leading disciples into battle, you cower in the rear?” The white-haired elder publicly berated Xuan Cang.
“Get out there and fight! Your cowardice is a disgrace to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!”
“If it were the past, a man of such poor character would never have set foot in this sect!” If she were still here, someone like him—no matter how talented—would have been expelled from the sect.
In the past, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was poor but proud. Now, though wealthy, it had lost its backbone.
Under the gazes of many disciples, Xuan Cang was left with no choice. Forced onto the battlefield, he was soon struck by the Heavenly Wolf Demon’s palm, filling him with resentment. Despite a thousand years of cultivation, he was no match for the Heavenly Wolf Demon.
Both sides struggled in a stalemate.
Lu Chao Chao’s eyes burned with intensity as she observed the white-haired elder, trying to find something familiar in him.
Leading the disciples, he arrived at the sect’s entrance and, together, they activated the Sect-Protection Sword Technique.
The moment it was unleashed, a translucent humanoid figure soared into the sky.
A young girl, wielding a spirit sword, her bright eyes and pearly teeth making her look almost lifelike—vivid, agile, as if truly alive.
“Who dares trespass upon the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?” Her voice was clear and ethereal, yet the National Advisor and his companions found it eerily familiar.
The girl had her back to them, her face obscured.
The disciples of the sect froze upon hearing her voice, and even those watching from afar stared in awe at that familiar face.
“It’s…”
“It’s the sword intent sealed by Sword Sovereign Sunshine!”
Everyone watched in a daze as she lightly swung her sword, sending the Heavenly Wolf Demon flying with a grievous wound.
“Leave immediately, or do not blame my Sunshine Sword for showing no mercy!”
The Heavenly Wolf Demon understood that, though she was merely sword intent, she still possessed some sentience.
“We mean no offense to the sect. We are merely searching for someone. Please allow us passage.” He knew that the sword intent would not last long and deliberately stalled for time.
The white-haired elder, however, was unyielding. “Any who trespass upon the Ten Thousand Swords Sect shall be executed on the spot!”
The elegant figure darted forth, and even in the hands of the Heavenly Wolf Demon, she was undefeatable within half a round.
The demon coughed up a mouthful of dark blood, narrowly avoiding a fatal strike but still wounded to the bone.
As the sword intent dissipated and the Heavenly Wolf Demon suffered grave injuries, the disciples of the sect secretly breathed sighs of relief.
“Only one sword intent remains.”
“For a thousand years, they have basked in her legacy’s glory. One wonders when they will finally fall from their pedestal.” A distant cultivator muttered.
The present Ten Thousand Swords Sect was not the sect of old.
The Heavenly Wolf Demon crashed to the ground not far from Lu Chao Chao.
Zhu Mo stepped forward to shield Lu Chao Chao. “The Heavenly Wolf Demon is the Grand Guardian of the Demon King’s court—treacherous and insidious. Do not approach.”
Before he could finish speaking, the demon lunged at him.
“Brother Zhu Mo, watch out!!” Feng Wu shrieked and rushed forward to shield him.
Zhu Mo was stunned.
He only saw the brilliance in the young girl’s eyes suddenly dim. She collapsed straight into his arms.
He reached out to support her.
Warm blood dripped from his hand, a steady stream of life slipping away.
The Heavenly Wolf Demon’s weapon had struck her heart. Her life force rapidly ebbed.
Zhu Mo was flustered, overwhelmed.
“I—I could have dodged it!”
Feng Wu’s face was as pale as paper. “I was afraid… I was afraid… My entire family was slaughtered by demons. Everyone I cared about died at their hands.”
“I was afraid Brother Zhu Mo would die.”
“It doesn’t hurt. Feng Wu doesn’t feel pain.”
“Feng Wu will be fine after a nap.”
She suddenly smiled at him, foolishly. “Brother Zhu Mo is willing to acknowledge me, willing to touch me now. I’m not a cursed star… I don’t bring misfortune.”
“I didn’t cause my family’s deaths…”
Zhu Mo felt a bitter ache in his heart. He still kept some guard against Feng Wu, but at this moment, he withdrew his thorns.
Lu Chao Chao cast him a glance.
Tsk.
Your love at home is nothing, yet you pick wildflowers everywhere.
This one is her, that one is her.
And in the end, they are all still her.
The Heavenly Wolf Demon clutched his chest and, despite his injuries, dashed toward the mountain peak.
Afraid of further chaos, Lu Chao Chao followed closely behind.
The higher one climbed in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the denser the spiritual energy. At its peak stood Without Folly Mountain—her home.
Yet…
Her steps hesitated before the cave of Sect Master Ming Kong.
A divine presence.
Lu Chao Chao clenched her tiny fist tightly. It was the lost half of Chong Yue’s godhood fragment!
Her eyes grew hot, sour.
This was the last thing she wanted to see.
The sect she had protected had stolen her disciple’s godhood.
Doubt filled her mind—something was amiss. How could the Ten Thousand Swords Sect possess a divine presence? A god had descended!
From within Ming Kong’s cave—
A loud “boom!”
Just as Lu Chao Chao approached, the stone door exploded outward.
She faintly heard a scream.
Then, silence.
In that moment, she sensed a wave of Elven energy.
“Who is outside my cave?!” Ming Kong’s oppressive voice thundered, gazing down at her, scrutinizing as if to see through her.
Xu Fan had been searching for Lu Chao Chao and, upon seeing this, hurriedly stepped forward.
“Sect Master, she is Dao Monarch Xuan Cang’s earthly creditor. She has come to collect debts.”
“She is only four years old.”
Ming Kong gave a soft hum.
“Can the external threat be dealt with?” he asked indifferently.
“Sect Master, my master activated the Sect-Protection Sword Technique. The Heavenly Wolf Demon was severely wounded and fled into the sect. We are currently searching for him. The disciples are unharmed, only sustaining minor injuries.”
Ming Kong replied, “Send people to comfort the frightened civilians. Ensure they do not live in fear.”
“Yes.”
Ming Kong, the most revered figure in the Spirit Realm, symbolized absolute authority and justice.
Xu Fan quietly pulled Lu Chao Chao away and delivered her to the National Advisor.
“I must go reassure the people. You must not run around again, understand?” He flicked her nose and gave her a candy before rushing down the mountain.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot from the mountaintop, flying outward.
“I knew it! They were coming for me!!”
“The demons came to kill me!!”
“Failing that, they’re even stealing my dog! Windchaser!!” Lu Chao Chao was hopping mad!
Lu Chao Chao: You beasts! Even my dog isn’t safe!!
Windchaser: After wandering for so long, I’m finally free from my cruel master. I’m going home!”
