On the extreme western edge of the Zhenyan Continent…
Jiuwu Mountain in Dongli Country…
"Ah! Who are you guys?"
A beautiful young lady in a luxurious pink outfit was knocked to the ground.
A palm struck her dantian and she swiftly lost all strength right then.
In just a split second, she went from being a Kudan martial artist at her peak to becoming an ordinary person.
Slumped feebly on the ground, the girl glanced around at the group of men in black who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded her.
The place where she had gone into seclusion was extremely hidden. Aside from a handful of people, no one else knew about this place.
The entire Jiuwu Mountain was massive. How did these people manage to find her?
Furthermore, they had immediately struck her with a ruthless, vicious blow that obliterated her cultivation.
Soon after, she had her answer.
"Hehe… Sister, does it feel good to be a piece of crap?"
Accompanied by a pleasant ringing, a young girl dressed in a flowy, light-blue dress gracefully stepped out from behind the men in black with her hands behind her back.
Every step she took seemed to be trampling on Luo Qingtong's heart and her entire body shook uncontrollably.
"Luo Xinning?! It's you?! It's actually you?!"
Never had the young woman expected that the little sister whom she regarded as family and taken great care of would be the one to stab her in the back!
Luo Xinning, the third daughter of Dongli Country's General Marquis household, born of the second concubine of the Luo family, had been sickly since childhood and completely neglected.
It was Luo Qingtong who kept her by her side and used her own resources to nurse her to health and eventually allow her to practice martial arts. From that point, she developed her abilities to the point where her abilities and potential were second only to Vision in the third generation of the Luo family!
Every single person had a reason to betray her!
Everyone except Luo Xinning!
Because everything Luo Xinning had now was due to her!
"Why?! Why are you doing this to me?"
The girl couldn't bring herself to believe all of this.
How had she let Luo Xinning down to the point where she would actually do this to her?!
Taking advantage of her breakthrough, she had brought these people to stage a siege and obliterate her cultivation?!
"Elder Sister, you can only blame yourself for being so good that you've become an annoyance to others!" Looking at the stunning girl who was still slumped on the ground and couldn't get up no matter how she tried, Luo Xinning felt an indescribable elation.
Luo Qingtong, the first daughter of the Luo family, born from the first wife.
Luo Qingtong had always been better than her.
In terms of strength, Luo Qingtong was the strongest in the third generation of the Luo family.
In terms of beauty, Luo Qingtong was number one in Dongli Country.
With an exquisite face, skin that was as white as snow and smooth as jade, she didn't need to dress up daily. Wherever she was, she became the focus of attention.
Especially her bluish-green eyes. They were like streams of clear spring water, radiant and crystal clear, complementing her flawless appearance and making it even more outstanding!
It was said that the eldest daughter of the Luo family was a heavenly beauty beyond any comparison, like a goddess of heaven who could only be admired from a distance.
In reality, that was indeed the case.
Even a self-proclaimed beauty like Luo Xinning felt that as long as she stood beside Luo Qingtong, she would instantly pale in comparison. She would no longer seem like a stunning peony but would appear like a wild flower or weed by the roadside.
Such was this so-called devastating beauty who was capable of causing the downfall of a nation.
Watching as Luo Qingtong writhed pathetically on the ground yet still maintaining her elegance, nobility and gorgeousness, Luo Xinning couldn't help but feel jealous.
Stepping forward, she lifted her hand to pinch Luo Qingtong's chin and tilted it up.
"Elder Sister, you must be in despair now. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning."
