Dao Companion Crippled, Coveters Move

The Jade Pool Sacred Land, the most ancient and mysterious of the Holy Land Sects in the entire Cultivation Realm.

Since time immemorial, this Sacred Land had only ever accepted female disciples and had always remained secluded. Barring major events, it generally avoided contact with the outside world.

It wasn't until the great war between the Righteous Dao and the demonic path several decades ago that the Jade Pool Sacred Land began to establish channels of communication with other Sacred Lands.

And in order to earn the trust of the Xuanyuan Dao Sect, the leader of the Righteous Dao, and prevent them from growing too close to the Yin Yang Sacred Land—the mortal enemy of the Jade Pool—

the Saintess Lin Qianyan was sent on a diplomatic visit to the Xuanyuan Dao Sect. This was the Jade Pool Sacred Land's most significant diplomatic mission with the outside world in thousands of years.

Hui Xianya, deep within the Jade Pool Sacred Land.

A cliff of a thousand fathoms rose from the earth, cleaving the Cloud Sea in two. A waterfall like a silver river cascaded from its peak.

It plunged three thousand zhang, crashing against the scattered Profound Cyan Rocks below. The water roared like thunder, splashing up a sky full of jade-like beads.

Using Sword Control, Pei Xiaohan hovered before Hui Xianya, the edge of her blade trembling slightly in the turbulent currents stirred by the cascade.

She looked at the small, beautiful figure sitting on a rock, silently enduring the crushing force of the three-thousand-zhang waterfall, and her voice trembled.

"Master, please, just confess... I'm begging you!"

Her voice was lost in the roaring waterfall. Her body suddenly trembled, and she stumbled, falling to her knees on the slick rock face.

Pei Xiaohan's forehead struck the stone platform, and the splashing water mixed with her tears as they rolled down her face.

"Master, if you just swear an oath on your Dao Heart to the Sect Leader that you'll cut all ties with Elder Pei from now on and never see him again, she won't make things difficult for you!"

"For your future, for your path of cultivation, please just give up on Elder Pei!

He isn't lacking for women, and he doesn't need you to take care of him!"

"Insisting on being with Elder Pei... will only destroy everything you have, Master!"

Beneath the waterfall, Lin Qianyan slowly lifted her eyelids.

Her once ink-black hair had long ago lost its luster from the torrent, and it now clung wetly to her deathly pale cheeks.

Under the force of the three-thousand-zhang waterfall, every drop of water that landed on Lin Qianyan felt as heavy as a boulder.

Although she could use her Spiritual Qi to resist, after months of non-stop exertion day and night, she was completely exhausted.

Continuing to endure the waterfall would most likely put her life in danger. It was no wonder Pei Xiaohan had come to persuade her at this time.

But...

"Xiaohan, go back and tell the Sect Leader."

Lin Qianyan's eyes, usually as gentle as water, were still astonishingly bright.

"You know full well that I... could never swear on my Dao Heart to never see him again.

I searched for Brother Pei for over a hundred years. How could I say a final farewell after seeing him just once?

Brother Pei is the greatest motivation for my cultivation. I even came to the Jade Pool Sacred Land for the sole purpose of gaining the power to find him."

"Now that I've found Brother Pei, to be forced to give him up because of the Jade Pool Sacred Land... for me, that would be getting my priorities backward."

Pei Xiaohan gazed at her master, clad in a plain white Daoist robe, her body trembling relentlessly under the onslaught of the water.

She clenched her fists and said softly,

"But... but, Master, if... if you keep this up, something terrible is going to happen!"

Pei Xiaohan's voice suddenly grew louder, her hoarse shout momentarily drowning out the roar of the waterfall.

But Lin Qianyan simply closed her eyes, no longer replying.

"Hmph. You disgraceful disciple! As the Saintess of my Jade Pool Sacred Land, you were meant to be the purest woman in the world.

To think that on a single trip away, you would give your body as a Jade Maiden to a married man. And even now, you remain unrepentant! How utterly incorrigible!"

A majestic rebuke came from the clouds.

The Sect Leader of the Jade Pool Sacred Land descended from the sky, riding a Seven-Colored Divine Deer. A look of disappointment flashed across her elegant and noble face as she looked at Lin Qianyan, still enduring the lashing of the waterfall.

"Sect Leader! I'll convince Master, please don't give up on her! I beg you, give Master one more chance!"

Pei Xiaohan kowtowed to the Jade Pool Sect Leader, pleading with her not to abandon Lin Qianyan.

But the Jade Pool Sect Leader just shook her head and said softly,

"Something has happened to the Dao Sect."

In the next moment, Lin Qianyan, who hadn't even frowned when the Sect Leader had been reprimanding her, snapped her eyes open. Her voice was now laced with anxiety.

"Sect Leader, what happened to the Dao Sect?!"

The Jade Pool Sect Leader glanced at Lin Qianyan and snorted coldly. "Oh, I thought you didn't care about anything. Why are you so agitated the moment I mention the Dao Sect?

When you were shaming my Jade Pool Sacred Land by fornicating with that married man, you were completely unmoved while I ordered you to reflect on your actions!"

Facing another torrent of scolding from the Sect Leader, Lin Qianyan pressed her pale lips together and remained silent.

Finally, the Jade Pool Sect Leader shook her head, a hint of mockery in her voice.

"The Dao Sect was attacked by an ancient powerhouse, suspected to have been summoned by the Chosen Organization. Their Sect Protection Array was completely destroyed, and they suffered heavy losses."

"And before that ancient powerhouse was forced to retreat by the Dao Sect's Taoist Lord, he took two people... One of them was that married man you, my wicked disciple, have been pining for day and night—Pei Yuhang!"

'Brother Pei... is in trouble?'

Lin Qianyan froze in the torrent as if struck by lightning.

A wave of water crashed down, and she forgot to circulate her energy to defend herself, allowing the current to slam her frail body hard against the cliff wall.

Seeing her once-beloved disciple in such a wretched state, the Jade Pool Sect Leader felt a mix of anger and regret.

'That damned Pei Yuhang! A man with a Dao Companion, yet so utterly indiscreet, seducing my good, naive disciple into this state!'

'I truly want to chop off his manhood, then send you into the Sect to receive the harshest discipline for celestial maidens and thoroughly reform that filthy heart of yours!'
