Chapter 946: The Iron Wall Known as The Master of Ghost Valley! (1)
A few bandits dare to covet his student?
They must think I’m dead!
Although he didn’t understand why his student suddenly developed an interest in dressing up as a little girl, he didn’t mind.
After all, she was his student, and if she wanted to play innocent, so be it.
The Master of Ghost Valley was fiercely protective and extremely biased.
Bandit A had already fainted, while the remaining three robbers were overcome with unprecedented fear and disbelief.
“The Master of Ghost Valley has a student?!”
“And she’s a little girl with no cultivation?”
What a joke!
Among the top ten most feared NPCs, the Master of Ghost Valley wasn’t the strongest, but he certainly had the quirkiest temper.
His standards were incredibly high; many natives of the Eternity Continent traveled great distances to see him, only to leave without even a glimpse of his shadow.
What kind of person could soften the heart of the Master of Ghost Valley enough to become his student?
The bandits, trembling, looked at Si Fuqing, still dressed as a little girl, noting she had no cultivation at all, just the weakest level on the Eternity Continent.
But they had seen her ability to naturally gather spiritual energy around her, and their greed had been piqued.
Little did they know they would run into the iron wall that was the Master of Ghost Valley.
Bandit B’s mouth gaped open, his throat making guttural noises as he tried to speak.
“Want to spread the word?” The Master of Ghost Valley still wore his usual smile, “Unfortunately, I won’t give you that chance.”
He released his grip, letting Bandit B fall to the ground. But before Bandit B could show any relief, a terrifying pressure descended upon him like a tsunami.
With a mere wave of his sleeve, the Master of Ghost Valley turned the four robbers into dust, leaving no trace of their souls.
Simultaneously, in the Free State.
In the monitoring room, the screen issued an alarm.
The administrator looked up to see that the data for four NPCs had been permanently erased.
Alarmed, he quickly accessed the complete information and, upon discovering the eraser was the Master of Ghost Valley, he relaxed.
If the Master of Ghost Valley didn’t kill someone every day, he wouldn’t be himself.
The administrator paid no further mind and continued to monitor other map areas.
Back in the Eternity Continent, after dealing with the robbers, the Master of Ghost Valley couldn’t help but twitch his eyebrow, “What are you wearing?”
“Isn’t it nice?” Si Fuqing spun around, “I picked it out carefully.”
The Master of Ghost Valley remained speechless.
He couldn’t appreciate such aesthetics.
“Let’s go.” The Master of Ghost Valley said nothing more and immediately led Si Fuqing to the center of Ghost Valley.
No one else had ever entered this place.
A clear lake lay there, beside it a wooden house in a paradise-like setting with chirping birds and fragrant flowers.
“I heard the Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand resurfaced to save lives recently. I knew you were finally back.” The Master of Ghost Valley sat down, “Tell me, what happened?”
Si Fuqing briefly recounted the events, skimming over the specific details.
“Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand can even injure herself like this.” The Master of Ghost Valley coldly laughed, “You’ve really outdone yourself this time.”
Si Fuqing pouted pitifully, “Master, won’t you heal me?”
Si Fuqing flattered him, “Master, you’re the best master in the world.”
“Enough with the flattery,” The Master of Ghost Valley said, “Your fishing skills are good. Catch me a few more fish.”
Si Fuqing was speechless.
She retracted her previous statement.
She was forever oppressed.

At this time, the Thousand Army Alliance was holding a commendation ceremony.
The recent rescue operation succeeded through the collective effort of everyone involved.
Every member who courageously protected the residents’ safety on the front lines deserved recognition.
Xiao Wenjian and Mu Qingmeng never held back in this regard and had even opened the weapon vault for the top contributors to choose suitable weapons.
Through a fair selection, eighteen members were chosen, including Ji Qingyao.
JIANG Shuihan led them into the weapon vault to choose their weapons.
In the center of the vault was a sharp longsword, covered in rust but still exuding a fierce aura.
A single glance at it felt like gazing upon mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
This was the first time the eighteen members had seen such a sword.
Even without JIANG Shuihan’s explanation, they knew this was the Dragon Sparrow Sword, the weapon of Emperor Yin, which had accompanied him in his conquests.
The eighteen members bowed respectfully to the Dragon Sparrow Sword before selecting their own weapons.
“Captain JIANG,” the deputy approached, “Miss Qingyao has reached level nine and received personal thanks from the lady and the alliance leader. Should we visit the Ji family?”
Level nine was the highest rank for Thousand Army Alliance members, determined not solely by combat skills but also by merit.
Of course, Ji Qingyao’s combat prowess had also increased rapidly, perhaps due to training under some renowned master.
“Of course we should,” JIANG Shuihan smiled, “I’ll go with you. Let’s make it a grand visit.”

At the Ji family.
Ji Longtai was watching the news as usual. Seeing the monotonous coverage of Shan City rescue efforts, he grew weary and changed the channel.
“Qingwei, how did you sleep last night?” Mrs. Ji asked, bringing over a bowl of porridge, “You look good today.”
“I’m fine. I’m just wondering why the Thousand Army Alliance has returned, but there’s still no news about sister. Could she really...” Ji Qingwei bit her lip.
“If something happened to her, it was her own choice,” Mrs. Ji said firmly, “No one else is to blame.”
Ji Qingwei nodded softly, “I’m just worried about her.”
She harbored a secret sense of superiority over Ji Qingyao.
Apart from her health, Ji Qingyao had nothing that could compare to her.
She didn’t wish for Ji Qingyao to die but neither did she want her to live and receive the Thousand Army Alliance’s commendation.
At this moment, Ji Qingwei’s thoughts aligned perfectly with those of her parents.
If Ji Qingyao died, her merit and honor would be transferred to the Ji family.
As the three sat down for a meal, the doorbell rang.
Mrs. Ji frowned, “Who could it be at this time?”
“It must be the Thousand Army Alliance bringing back Qingyao’s body,” Ji Longtai said, “I’ll go see.”
Ji Qingwei also turned her head to look towards the door.
