Feng Xi was completely stunned!
Were the sword intents of Wan Jian Sect possessed?!
She had already run so far, they were actually still chasing her?
This wouldn't be another disaster caused by the wooden sword, right?
Unfortunately, the wooden sword inside her storage ring was acting like it's dead, showing no response at all.
Feng Xi felt that brute force was definitely not the way to deal with these sword intents.
First, there were too many sword intent phantoms. Second, she was afraid that taking out the wooden sword would… escalate the conflict.
After thinking it through, there was only one method left, treat these sword intent phantoms...like dogs and walk them!
After all, they were merely formed from remnant consciousness and couldn't last long.
So as long as she kept running, sooner or later she could wear them out!
Thus, this rascal began running wildly all over Wan Jian Sect!
If she hasn't run herself to death yet, then keep running!
Feng Xi avoided crowded areas. Occasionally when she saw someone, she shouted loudly, "Get out of the way! The sword intents have gone mad!"
The onlookers of Wan Jian Sect nearly had their eyes pop out!
Weren't sword intents unable to cross the red line? How did they get here?
And why were they chasing Feng Xi?
Did they want to actively acknowledge her as master?
No, it looked more like they wanted to… slay their master!
Some people's focus drifted slightly, Feng Xi was actually running faster than the sword intents? This speed was almost comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator!
While running, Feng Xi suddenly had a thought, I have talismans, why am I running?!
It's all because she was too poor and wasn't able to afford talismans in the past that she hadn't thought of it immediately!
With that thought, Feng Xi took out a stack of Explosive Technique talismans from her storage ring, turned around, and gave the sword intents a sinister smile.
Then she threw them out.
With successive explosions, some sword intents dissipated instantly, while others dimmed considerably.
The remaining sword intents turned and fled.
Feng Xi sneered. After chasing me, you think you can just run away? How could this be settled so easily!
Holding Explosive Technique talismans, she pursued them relentlessly, "Stop! All of you, stop! If you don't stop, I won't be polite!"
The sword intents floated even faster.
Only a fool would stop!
Jiang Ji and the others, who had finally caught up with great difficulty: "..."
Wasn't it the sword intents chasing Little Junior Sister just now? How come it's reversed?
The sword intents ignored them and drifted past.
Moments later, Feng Xi arrived.
"Senior Brothers and Sisters, you chat first. I'll deal with them and then come back to play!"
Everyone: "..."
Xing Wu noticed the talismans in Feng Xi's hand and asked Jun Wen, "When you went to Tianshui City, did Little Junior Sister buy a lot of talismans?"
Jun Wen nodded, "Yes, she did buy quite a lot."
She stamped several sacks' worth with molds!
Feng Xi chased the sword intents all the way back to Sword Peak, the sword intents stopped running and turned to attack her.
Only then did Feng Xi realize that talismans couldn't be used here.
She yelped and turned to run back again.
Jiang Ji and the others who followed: "..."
This time Feng Xi had experience. Once she reached an area where talismans could be used, she stopped running.
With her hands on her hips, she looked at the sword intents, "Come chase me if you've got the ability!"
The sword intents trembled with anger but couldn't do anything, they were prepared to return to Sword Peak.
Unexpectedly, Feng Xi said, "Don't leave! Since you're out, let's play!
If you've got guts, don't gang up on me. Send one out to fight me one-on-one!
Don't worry, I guarantee I won't use talismans, and I definitely won't run. If I go back on my word, I'm a dog!"
The sword intents indeed stopped, then… merged into a single spirit sword phantom.
Didn't you want one-on-one? Come then!
Feng Xi: "…Woof woof woof!"
Then she threw out a large handful of Explosive Technique talismans.
The spirit sword phantom was blown to pieces and annihilated.
Hah!
Trying to trick me?
I'll dog you to death!
Jiang Ji and the others who witnessed this: "..."
Feng Xi belatedly remembered her persona and said naturally, "I stuttered just now because I was in a hurry. I meant to say I for-for-forgot(1) something. Don't misunderstand."
Jiang Ji and the others: "..."
But there really was someone who played along, Jun Wen asked curiously, "Little Junior Sister, what did you forget?"
With hands behind her back and an arrogant expression, Feng Xi said, "I forgot to tell those sword intents that it's not that I cannot comprehend their sword intent, it's that they are not worthy!
A genius like me should create my own sword intent, one that has never existed before, unique with no other!"
Everyone: …You really know how to praise yourself!
Create your own sword intent?
Thousands of sword intents had already been comprehended by predecessors, what new trick could you possibly invent?
Jun Wen froze briefly, then immediately said, "That's right! They're not worthy! Little Junior Sister, you're stunningly talented and highly perceptive. You'll definitely comprehend your own sword intent!"
Xing Wu chimed in, "That's right! Not just one. Little Junior Sister, I think you'll comprehend at least two!"
Everyone: "..."
At this moment, Lu Zhenkuan and the others hurried over.
Seeing Feng Xi safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Xi said with a self-reproachful expression, "Sect Master Lu, if I hadn't suggested going to Sword Peak to observe sword intent, this disturbance wouldn't have happened. I've caused trouble for you and Wan Jian Sect!"
Lu Zhenkuan waved his hand, "It's nothing. As long as you're unharmed.
Besides, those sword intents targeting you might be related to your communication with Heavenly Dao's spiritual qi during your comprehension that suppressed the sword tomb. They were likely retaliating against you.
If that's the case, then you suffered an undeserved disaster."
Feng Xi: …
You really have a great imagination!
Indeed, as long as one's persona is firmly established, there's no need to do much, others will help fill in the gaps for you.
Lu Zhenkuan ordered a lavish banquet prepared to entertain everyone.
During the feast, Feng Xi was once again heavily praised by everyone.
On the way back to the guest residence, Xiao Baidao, slightly tipsy, said to his four disciples, "The best decision of my life was taking you as disciples, my life has not been in vain."
Although he favoured Feng Xi most, both the palm and the back of hand are flesh. No matter how much he normally scolded them, the other five disciples are also very dear to him.
Feng Xi wanted to say something, but in the end said nothing.
At this moment, any flowery words or rainbow flattery felt pale and useless, she would use her actions to repay her master.
Jun Wen, however, eagerly rushed over to support Xiao Baidao, "Master, let me help you walk!"
Xiao Baidao glared at him.
"Help me walk? Are you implying that I'm so old I can't walk anymore?!
Since you're so filial, carry me back to the guest residence!"
Jun Wen: "..."
No wonder Little Junior Sister remained silent. Sometimes, flattery really does backfire!

(1)For-for-forgot:
The pronunciation of 'woof woof woof' in Chinese is very close to the character for 'forget'. 'Woof' (汪: Wāng) and 'Forget' (忘: Wàng)
