The moment her fingers touched the hilt of the sword, the wind between heaven and earth seemed to stop.
Lin Jiu took a deep breath, and tightened her grip.
Boom—
A sorrowful and heroic emotion slammed right into her heart.
Blood, fire, knives, dying comrades, fangs of the demons, crying children…
Not more than a hundred cultivators were standing inside a huge fortress. Their bodies were made of flesh and blood, but they still managed to hold a steel-like line of defense! The dark clouds and the whistling wind above their heads were the war songs of the heroic spirits.
The demons swarmed in like a tide beneath the fortress. Although there were no more than a hundred people at the city wall, everyone carried the wishes and expectations of countless heroic spirits.
Swear to death, no backing away!
At the very end of the battle, the dead bodies of every hero still stood straight at the entrance of the city, which frightened the demon clan, to take another step forward!
This was… the defense battle to protect Qian Qi Pass led by Wu Ni Shui, thousands of years ago!
In that instant, the strong determination of countless heroic spirits poured into Lin Jiu’s heart. She was caught off guard, and tears couldn’t help but pour down her face.
The red glass sword in her hands discharged yet another invisible air wave.
The color of the wind and clouds changed. The red resentments seemed to be hit by heavy punches, and the small skeletons looked like they had fallen into a hurricane and were instantly torn to pieces. The giant skeletons also found it hard to balance themselves, and they collectively crouched down low, shouting angrily as they tried to head to the peak.
“Wu… Meng… Xia…”
Lin Jiu looked down from the top of the mountain, only for shock to grip her heart.
The sword in her palm embodied the unyielding will of the dead spirits. She felt a sense of heroism in her, and the dense and venomous hatred at the bottom of the mountain was all directed towards this generation’s guardian of Qian Qi Pass—Wu Meng Xia.
A crystal clear light slowly slid past the surface of the red glazed sword like a single, sorrowful teardrop.
Lin Jiu could feel a sense of grief coming from the sword. It was a somewhat old sword will.
‘Was I… wrong?’ it asked her.
‘Was I wrong to inherit my ancestors’ persistence and determination to defend my country until the day I die?’
‘Was I wrong to think that I could actually be like my ancestors and defend the fortress until the reinforcements arrive? ’
‘Anyone is strictly forbidden to retreat and evacuate, so as not to weaken the army’s morale and sacrifice thousands of lives. Was I wrong? ’
‘I should have just accepted the grievances of those unjust souls, but I was hidden under the protection of the ancestor’s heroic spirits, that worsened their grievances. Was I wrong? ’
‘The things that Wu Meng Xia did, was it all wrong?’
“I don’t know,” Lin Jiu said calmly as she slowly drew the red glass sword out from the bone mountain.
The sword faintly resisted her.

Lin Jiu spoke. “Rather than asking me and the people around you, how about asking how your heart really feels. Just ask yourself, were your intentions clear and pure when you made your choices back then?!”
There was a moment of silence.
The next second, a shocking aura emitted from the sword body!
The surge that was clearly visible to the naked eye burst out from the tip of the sword!
Wu Meng Xia…is not guilty of his actions!
Hong—Long—
The wave swept across the land, and the bone mountain under the sword was the first to bear the impact and was completely destroyed the moment the surge erupted. The wave of air erupted beneath Lin Jiu’s feet, and she held the sword even more tightly in both hands. She followed the wave of air that swayed her around as she slowly fell lower and lower, right until the entire bone mountain was completely destroyed.
The shock wave continued to advance toward the rest of the land,
and all the white and red skulls disintegrated into specks of dust at contact.
Where the white bones disintegrated, strands of pure white aura rose slowly and hovered in midair for a moment, as if it was bidding its farewell to the sky and the earth with a smile.
However, where the red bones disintegrated, sharp, unjust screams that could pierce right through one’s soul could be heard.
A thought formed in Lin Jiu’s mind. She gripped the sword tightly, sucked those last strands of malice into her mind, and urged the seventh petal of the Red Lotus to open!
The dense malice gathered, and the seventh petal of the Red Lotus blossomed quickly! Condensed!
The red malice between heaven and earth largely faded, and faint hints of azure could be seen in the sky.
Lin Jiu let out a sigh of relief and carefully raised the sword and placed it in front of her to watch the scene unfold.
It was a beautiful weapon. The blade was only two fingers wide, crystal clear and translucent, like ice and frost, with a hint of blood tinted on it. The handle of the sword was made of the same material, warm and refreshing once she gripped on it, as if she were holding a high quality translucent nephrite jade.
Lin Jiu couldn’t help but gently raise her eyebrows.
Was this sword hers now?
The body of the sword moved slightly, and Wu Meng Xia’s thoughts flowed into her mind again.
‘This sword is named Red Beauty, and was casted by the ancestor, Wu Ni Shui. This sword emanated the body of a spiritualist and possessed psychic powers, and had always stayed in the underground tomb. It condensed the will of the heroic spirits of the past and formed this sword realm. I did not succeed in protecting the Qian Qi Pass. When I died, I was unconsciously drawn to this place by the sword’s intent, and also brought thousands of grievances along with me into this peaceful and pure land of the ancestor’s spirits…Sigh…’
‘Since you are a living soul, the fact that you’ve been drawn here proves that you have a certain connection with the Red Beauty. Take it along with you to see the world outside! Young girl, I wish you a bright future. ’
Lin Jiu silently grasped the handle of the sword and said, “Old man, you don’t have to feel so concerned about this. You did the same things that your ancestor would have done. He was a hero, so you don’t have to belittle yourself. Since I have received this generous gift, I will definitely seek justice for you. You just have to watch from the sky with a peaceful state of mind!”
A drop of crystal-like water flowed through the sword. It turned into a wisp of white gas and caught up with the heroic spirits in mid-air, before slowly fading into the place where the dead could rest in peace.
Lin Jiu let out a sigh of relief, then narrowed her eyes and looked into the far distance.

It was not over yet.
Sure enough, the remaining red malice began to surge and gather at one place.
Lin Jiu’s pupils tightened and she placed the sword in front of her.
This sword, which had been with the heroic spirits from thousands of years and gathering countless auras, was naturally the most despised by the demons and monsters.
Lin Jiu noticed that something was wrong.
