I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 409 Stance

The enchanting atmosphere hadn't dissipated when Yun Qingyi's question stunned Xie Xiyan. Although he didn't know why Yun Qingyi suddenly asked, he still honestly replied, "When I was seven years old, the barbarian demon race invaded, and my parents left me to go and support them. Although I was still young, I could already remember things at that time. Their appearance... although it's a bit blurry now, I still remember some of it."

Yun Qingyi thought for a moment, "Actually... I've met your parents, or rather, I've met your former parents."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiyan was surprised, his voice filled with disbelief and excitement: "Wh...what?"

Yun Qingyi confessed about the dream: "In the dream, if I'm not mistaken, what happened in the dream was more than ten years ago on the desolate border, where I saw your parents on the battlefield."

They look a lot like you, especially your mother, so I wouldn't mistake them.

Xie Xiyan: "Then... what happened next?"

"Later, I saw a demon woman..." Thinking of Leng Fuhuang, Yun Qingyi frowned slightly: "Perhaps you have heard of her. Her name is Leng Fuhuang, and she should be the king of the barbarian demon race."

Xie Xiyan didn't ask Yun Qingyi why she had this dream. He naturally felt that it wasn't strange for Yun Qingyi, as the Goddess of Heaven, to have any dreams. However, he clearly heard that Yun Qingyi's tone was somewhat hesitant when she mentioned the name Leng Fuhuang.

He had heard Ling Xuzi mention this person once. He was a 100% inheritor of the demon race bloodline. His powerful strength had already defeated many people, and he also had an extremely special rebirth skill. Currently, no one could subdue him, but it was said that his strength would be reset by a percentage after rebirth.

This is why, despite the formidable power of Leng Fuhuang, the border region has remained peacefully stalemated.

Xie Xiyan: "I know a little about this Leng Fuhuang... Does Qingyi think there's some other problem?"

Yun Qingyi nodded: "But judging from the current situation, the problem is very troublesome." Yun Qingyi then talked about the twelve kill lists.

Xie Xiyan: "Therefore, Leng Fuhuang possesses scattered Heavenly Dao power, yet he is the hostile Barbarian Demon King."

Yun Qingyi: "Yes, that's the situation. I don't know how to resolve this matter for a while. After all, I haven't seen Leng Fuhuang and Leng Wugan in the previous cycles. The Barbarian Demon Clan and the various immortal sects have been enemies for a long time. This matter needs a good solution."

Xie Xiyan also fell into deep thought. The problem was indeed very thorny. Since he was seven years old, he had been bullied and did not have a strong sense of belonging to the human race.

However, because of his parents' existence, he did not have any aversion to the human race. In fact, his thinking was more like that of a neutral party, so he easily understood Yun Qingyi's current situation.

As a goddess of the Heavenly Dao, she certainly cannot only care about one side, because under the Heavenly Dao, all living beings are her subjects. It is only natural that Yun Qingyi is conflicted and in a dilemma.

"Never mind," Yun Qingyi said after thinking for a moment. "We'll talk about it again after the disciples' assembly at the border of the wilderness."

Xie Xiyan thought about it carefully and nodded, "We're not familiar with the two of them yet, so we need to get to know them better before we can find a solution."

After reaching a consensus, the next round of the martial arts tournament began. Yun Qingyi looked at the number on the jade token in her hand and said, "It's almost my turn. Let's go back first."

Although Xie Xiyan felt a little regretful about this rare moment of solitude, he was already very content. Today was the happiest day he had had since he was seven years old. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's go back."

Back at the arena, they arrived at Yun Qingyi's place.

The opponent was a very burly man. Yun Qingyi could tell at a glance that he was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. This match was quite reasonable.

After all, he was a genius at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which was considered a great achievement. It was just a pity that he encountered Yun Qingyi.

However, Yun Qingyi has never been inclined to have a quick victory in a martial arts competition. She prefers to learn something from it. Although her strength is not as good as hers, she must have her own set of insights to have cultivated to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

As the saying goes, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me," she never underestimates anyone.

"I am Gong Fei of the Great Strength Sect. Please enlighten me, Fairy." The man's voice was deep and powerful as he clasped his hands in a fist salute.

“Xuanmiao Gate Cloud Ripples”.

As soon as a gong sounded, the two began to fight fiercely.

From the very beginning, Gong Fei was shocked. From the moment they started fighting, he clearly realized that Yun Qingyi's strength was far superior to his.

But as the fight went on, he began to have some doubts. They could have easily taken him down in one move, yet they kept giving him a chance to survive. But on the dueling stage, Gong Fei didn't have time to think about it and fought with all his might.

Yun Qingyi squinted at the Vajra defensive shield surrounding Gong Fei, feeling both surprised and excited. She tried to create one herself, following his method.

This time, Gong Fei was completely shocked. "No way, how come you stole my skills?" His face turned red, and he stopped making a move.

Yun Qingyi smiled slightly: "I tried to learn from your moves, maybe... I'm just a bit quick to grasp things."

The members of the Dali Sect below the stage were also stunned. Their Vajra Defense Technique, their sect's most treasured skill, had been learned so easily by someone else. For a moment, they couldn't help but doubt their own existence.

“I…” Although the members of the Mighty Sect were all tall and strong and looked like they were not to be trifled with, they were clumsy with words and simple-minded. After a long while, their faces turned red and they finally managed to say, “Well… alright then, let’s continue.”

As Gong Fei continued to make moves, although Yun Qingyi had learned them through her own skills, she didn't want to learn them for nothing. Before knocking Gong Fei off the stage, she gave him some pointers.

Although he lost, Gong Fei was overjoyed and looked at Yun Qingyi with eyes full of admiration. His voice was so excited that he stammered, "Thank you... thank you for your guidance, senior."

The audience was stunned.

Disciple A: "Wow! If I remember correctly, Gong Fei is a formidable opponent! He directly defeated the senior sister of the Xuanmiao Sect?"

Disciple B: "I was wondering what would happen if my opponent was Gong Fei, and now... I've been eliminated so easily?"

Disciple C: "I heard that Gong Fei has already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and even the Great Perfection realm! That's the Great Perfection of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

Disciple Ding: "Junior brother, is your information reliable? This can't be..."

Disciple Wu: "So... this senior sister from the Xuanmiao Sect has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Disciple C: "Junior Brother, what I said is absolutely true. I have personally verified this information."

Disciple A: "My goodness, that's amazing, I can't even imagine."

"..."

On the other side, the sect leaders sitting on the high platform couldn't help but look at Ci Gui, who was extremely relaxed and indifferent.

The sect leader of Zixiao Sect smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "The disciple of Immortal Venerable Cigui is indeed outstanding. This girl looks to be no more than twenty years old. She is truly amazing and enviable."

Ci Gui responded casually, "Well, then be envious."

The sect leader of Biyun Sect was not surprised by Cigui's answer. Perhaps others did not know, but the sect leaders had truly experienced Cigui's capriciousness and lack of respect for anyone.

Humility? Mutual flattery? These words could never be associated with Ci Gui.

Everyone was perceptive enough to hear the sourness in the words of the Zixiao Sect Master. However, seeing that the Zixiao Sect Master had been humiliated, they did not want to hurt the harmony among them, so they chuckled and said, "This child is called Yun Qingyi, right? She is indeed young and promising. Her strength and comprehension are probably beyond the reach of our disciples."

Ji Lan from Xianyue Valley snorted lightly, "I don't think so." His voice was as cold as ever.

The quote goes: "I know you're envious, but you don't have to say 'sour grapes' because you can't have them. Everyone understands."

Ji Lan: "You..." Before she could say anything more, the sect leader of the Biyun Sect tugged at her arm. "Hahaha, Qingyi is indeed a girl with extraordinary talent and strength. Ji Lan, your disciple is also very powerful. Everyone is amazing, hahaha... Stop arguing..."

The Tianqing Sect Master, who had been pretending to be invisible, couldn't help but chuckle and smoothed things over for the Biyun Sect Master: "It's a rare martial arts tournament, so let's not hurt our harmony."

Upon hearing the words of the Tianqing Sect Master, the group fell silent and pretended to watch the match.

Coincidentally, Yun Yu'er was fighting against Ji Zhaoze.

It must be said that Yun Yu'er has made rapid progress. In just two years, she has become able to fight on par with Ji Zhaoze.
