Chapter 814: The Beginning Is Also the End

The stare down didn’t last for too long.
Qian Ye attacked first. The golden flame plummeted from the sky, and the golden lotuses bloomed and scattered their petals everywhere.
Amidst the sky full of petals, Qian Ye’s golden dress swayed gently. She was holding a sword that was covered in the golden flame and radiating a dazzling light.
This sword was so fast that the entire world seemed to have stopped at this moment.
She was like an untainted fairy that descended from heaven, accompanied only by flower petals. This was definitely an extraordinarily beautiful scene if it wasn’t for her lunatic and ferocious expression.
“Leader!”
“Leader!”
Half of Ling Yun Tower’s disciples kneeled down even though they could already foresee the outcome of this fight. However, they were still in awe of the Qian Ye’s stunning attack.
The golden sword came crashing down through a sky full of petals and drew a magnificent golden ray of light in the air.
At this instance, the silvery radiance finally ascended.
It didn’t waver against the golden petals and the golden ray, just like how the moon was calm but bright.
Qian Yu’s eyes were white as snow.
The frost even painted her hair white, just like the purest moonlight.
She drew her sword, and there were two of them.
Two silvery-white swords that were almost identical.
Qian Yu moved after the silvery light lit up. She brandished the two swords against the falling golden radiance. She was as dazzling as the eight moons hanging in the sky.
Snowflakes danced in the air and wrapped around Qian Yu’s body. Snow and moonlight had always been the most beautiful combination.
“Lady Qian Yu!”
“Lady Qian Yu!”
The other half of Ling Yun Tower’s disciples also kneeled down as they gazed at Qian Yu. They looked as determined as she was.
They were getting closer towards each other.
The golden petal finally clashed against the silvery-white snowflakes. The collision between heat and ice produced a thick mist that looked like a dragon’s breath.
Amidst the cloud-like mist, two figures were engaged in a heated battle. The burning golden sword kept trading blows with the two silvery-white swords.
The mist was getting heavier as they traded blows at a faster pace.
Fang Zhengzhi slowly grabbed Ping Yang’s hand because he could feel her body trembling from anxiousness.
Boom!
They heard incessant rumbles coming from the sky.
The entire area felt unstable, possibly due to the excessive amount of mist or the rapid collisions between their swords.
Crack!
A bolt of purple lighting slashed through the mist and tore it apart, revealing the two figures clashing against each other repeatedly.
The mist finally dissipated gradually.
That was because the golden petals had already disappeared. The entire sky was filled with silvery snowflakes dancing in the wind.
“Leader!”
Half of Ling Yun Tower’s disciples lowered their heads after witnessing this. They just lay low on the ground and didn’t look up at the sky again.
The other disciples were obviously overjoyed and excited, because they knew that the outcome might have been decided already.
However, was that really true?
Qian Ye’s body was still burning with the golden flame. Although there weren’t any golden petals around her body anymore, she stood tall in the sky and held her sword tightly. Blood was flowing down the corner of her mouth, but she didn’t lose her determination.
“You’ve truly improved after all these years!” Qian Ye glanced at the snowflakes in the air and smiled bitterly.
“Just give it up, sister. We don’t have to do this anymore.” Qian Yu stood motionlessly in the air instead of pressing Qian Ye on. She seemed to be waiting and also being cautious at the same time.
“Haha… Give it up? You’ve never fought against me over anything since we were young, so why do you have to compete against me for the leader’s position?!”
“Actually, I’ve never wanted to compete against you.”
“You’ve never wanted to? You still competed against me nevertheless, didn’t you?”
“Yes, but that was just the master’s will. She originally intended to make you the next leader too, but what you did had disappointed her greatly, so she decided to make me…” Qian Yu sounded sad as she said that.
“Shut up, what did I do?”
“Sister, did you really think that master didn’t know who was the one who disclosed the news about the Heaven Dao Tablets? In fact, I told her about the Heaven Dao Tablets as soon as I saw them. However, even master didn’t have a good reason to take the tablets away by force. Hence, she told me to invite you to study the tablets together.”
“Do you think that I’d believe you? Don’t even think that I don’t know why you are saying this now. You want me to give up because you are wary of my Ling Yun Realm? In your dreams!” As Qian Yu said that, a small jade tower consisting of nine stories suddenly appeared in her hands. The jade was spotless, pure, and shining brightly. It was exquisite and looked almost exactly like Ling Yun Tower.
“Sister, do you really want to do this? Qian Yu’s expression finally changed a little when she saw the small jade tower.
Ling Yun Tower’s disciples trembled when they saw the jade tower. They were obviously extreme afraid of it.
As for Fang Zhengzhi… He was undoubtedly surprised when he saw the small jade tower. After all, he had never made connections between Ling Yun Tower and Ling Yun Realm.
However, now that he thought about it, he quickly figured out the truth.
He had already tested the sturdiness of ‘Ling Yun Tower’ just now, and he couldn’t even put a scratch on it.
Hence, he was sure that the entire tower was some sort of treasure.
Now, it seemed like his initial thought was confirmed. However, the truth turned out to be a surprise for him.
“Ling Yun Realm is Ling Yun Tower?” Fang Zhengzhi had actually never thought of that.
However, this wasn’t the time for him to be pondering the truth, because the entire region seemed to be reacting to the small jade tower that appeared in Qian Ye’s hand.
Then, the mountain range beneath them started trembling.
The ground cracked, and the fierce wind swept up all the broken rocks. The combination of wind and broken rocks turned into a deadly tornado.
Although this wasn’t powerful enough to harm Fang Zhengzhi, he felt like this was just the beginning.
“Mom!” Ping Yang shouted anxiously.
Fang Zhengzhi intuitively looked towards the silvery figure in the sky when he heard Ping Yang’s voice.
However, Qian Yu was no longer standing around. She charged towards Qian Ye rapidly with the eight moons surrounding her body.
Qian Yu was extremely dazzling thanks to the radiance from the moons. She was holding the two silvery-white swords tightly as she flew through the snow.
She was so fast that she had neared Qian Ye almost instantaneously.
However, Qian Ye smiled when Qian Yu appeared beside her. It was a cold smile, but it also contained a hint of sadness.
The only pity was… Few people noticed Qian Ye’s expression, because almost everyone was focused on the tiny white jade tower in her hand.
After all, that was Ling Yun Realm, Ling Yun Tower’s strongest treasure!
Qian Ye’s Ling Yun Realm wasn’t complete, so she couldn’t recreate ‘The Matching Sun and Moon’. Nevertheless, as long as the tiny white jade tower was in her hand, she had complete control over the entire region where everyone was.
However, for some reason, the tiny tower wasn’t glowing like everyone had expected. Qian Ye was simply holding it in her hands until Qian Yu’s sword appeared in front of her chest.
The silvery-white sword went through Qian Ye’s chest without much resistance. Her blood spilled out through the sword and turned the snowflakes red. This scene was cold and sad, just like her expression just now.
This sudden change had occurred too quickly.
No one expected the fight to end like this, including all the disciples, as well as Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang.
The real fight should have only just began when Qian Ye took out the tiny jade tower. However, why did it end even before it had even started?
This was the question that boggled Ling Yun Tower’s disciples’ minds. Fang Zhengzhi was equally confused, and even Qian Yu couldn’t wrap her head around this.
“Sister, you…” Qian Yu was filled with disbelief as she looked at her sword that went through Qian Ye’s chest and the blood that was dripping off the blade.
“Aren’t you surprised? Hahaha… Cough….” Qian Ye’s mouth twitched and her face was pale as a sheet. However, there was pure madness on her face, and she said, “Qian Yu, don’t think that you’ve truly won. I didn’t lose to you. You could never take Ling Yun Realm away unless I gave it to you!”
“Leader!”
“Leader!”
Half of the disciples finally reacted after a moment of shock, because they had only just understood the pride of a true master.
Qian Yu didn’t respond. She slowly walked towards Qian Ye, who was yelling and shouting, and hugged her.
Blood flowed down Qian Ye’s chest and tainted Qian Yu’s silvery dress, but she disregarded the blood and kept hugging Qian Ye.
Qian Ye raised her hands at this moment.
She held the tiny jade tower tightly in one of her hands, and there was a dazzling, golden, and sword-like radiance on her other hand.
They were so close, especially when Qian Yu hugged her. The tiny and the golden radiance were barely an inch away from Qian Yu’s neck.
However, for some reason, the radiance never came down on her.
Qian Ye placed the tiny tower in Qian Yu’s palm slowly, so slowly as if time had stopped.
“Ling Yun Realm, is finally… Complete…” Qian Ye trembled and spewed out blood after she said that.
“Sister!” Qian Yu cried at this moment. Her tear went down the corner of her eyes like two drops of ice.
“From today onwards, you… Will be Ling Yun Tower’s new lea… Leader. You’re stronger than I am….You… You will become even stronger… With Ling Yun Realm…” Qian Ye looked relieved after she said that, and her eyes eventually closed.
No one knew what Qian Ye was thinking or why she did that. Was it just so that she could say ‘I didn’t lose’?
No one knew the answer to this question!
“Leader!”
“Leader!”
“…”
All the disciples dropped to the ground when they heard Qian Ye’s final words, even those who had rebelled against her.
Qian Yu just stood motionlessly in the air while Qian Ye’s lifeless body leaned against her. Her silvery-white dress was slowly turning red from the blood.
Her hair swayed with the wind, but it remained white as snow instead of returning to its original blackness. It was as if the whiteness was already deep-rooted and would never disappear.
Time ticked by slowly.
After god knows how long, Qian Yu finally moved. She carried Qian Ye’s body gently and descended from the sky, before walking towards Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang.
“Fang Zhengzhi, isn’t it time to settle the score for invading Ling Yun Tower, stealing our Penta-coloured flower, and kicking me?” Qian Yu stopped at a few steps away from them and spoke indifferently.
