Martial Master

She did not hide it, openly stating her purpose in the grand hall.

Because there was no shame in it.

“Si Si, you…”

The Phantom Martial Emperor sighed, her face pale, her heart filled with sorrow, and she fell completely silent.

Si Si was too foolish; was it truly worth it for a man?

Even if this man had saved her, that was just a common tactic used by men. Did she really think those men would sacrifice themselves for her?

The Phantom Martial Emperor shook her head.

Now that the conversation had reached this point, no matter how she explained for Si Si, it was useless. The most furious thing for the sect master was the disciples' emotional attachment to humans. By saying this, Si Si had pushed herself onto the path of death.

No matter how she explained, it would be of no help.

In an instant, the air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere in the hall became suffocatingly cold. A terrifying killing intent lingered; everyone felt that the sect master was truly enraged. In the next moment, Si Si could very well be killed by the sect master.

In the Phantom Demon Sect, no one could provoke the authority of the sect master, not even the demoness.

Time passed second by second, and the surroundings were eerily silent, as if in a deathly stillness. Every second felt like a year, suffocating.

“Ha ha ha!”

Suddenly, the Phantom Demon Sect Master laughed, “Good, very good.”

She laughed heartily and suddenly appeared in front of Chen Si Si, but did not strike to kill her. Instead, she coldly stared at her and said in a deep voice, “I heard the person you are avenging is named Qin Chen?”

Chen Si Si lifted her head and replied, “Yes!”

Knowing she was about to die, she felt unexpectedly calm. Since death was inevitable, what was there to fear? It was better to go accompany Qin Chen early.

“Qin Chen!”

The Phantom Demon Sect Master murmured, as if suddenly sinking into endless despair, her gaze becoming distant.

It seemed that this name had endless significance for her.

In the hall, everyone was shocked as they looked at the Phantom Demon Sect Master. It was the first time they had felt such an emotion coming from her; what was happening to the sect master?

“Is he truly worth you sacrificing your life for revenge?” the Phantom Demon Sect Master suddenly asked.

“Worth it.”

Chen Si Si replied, and those two simple words expressed her heartfelt sentiment.

“Good, since you've said so, then I shall tell you that it's not that my Phantom Demon Sect will not attack the Piao Miao Palace, but that it is fundamentally impossible to succeed in an attack. The so-called attack is merely a death sentence.” The Phantom Demon Sect Master sneered.

Chen Si Si abruptly raised her head, her eyes filled with shock. Just a death sentence?

The other strong members of the Phantom Demon Sect also looked up in disbelief. How could this be? The top ten forces in the Martial Domain joined forces, with a number of strong individuals that far exceeded that of the Piao Miao Palace. How could it be simply a death sentence?

The leader of the Piao Miao Palace, Shangguan Xi'er, was strong, but she was just one person. How could she withstand the attack of so many forces in the Martial Domain?

“If you do not believe, then just watch.” The Phantom Demon Sect Master said lightly, her imposing aura suddenly dissipating. She coldly looked at Chen Si Si and said, “Since you are determined to avenge that Qin Chen, you should know to keep your life useful. Today, I will not kill you, but you cannot escape the punishment for a capital offense. From today on, you will go to the Phantom Demon Abyss cave to be punished for a year, enduring the torment of the ten thousand demons devouring souls. If you can survive, then our sect will agree to one condition from you—any condition you desire. Dare you agree?”

The Phantom Demon Sect Master coldly gazed at Chen Si Si. Although she was asking, her tone was clearly commanding. It was evident that should Chen Si Si utter a single word of refusal, she would be killed on the spot.
