Chapter 5

The next day, as Xiao Yi just got up, Ji Yan came to her door.

Ji Yan said, "Get ready, I'll take you to the Sword Cave."

Xiao Yi followed Ji Yan to a place at the southeastern corner of Tianyu Peak.

It was a natural cave. Standing at the entrance, one could see clearly inside.

The cave was about twenty to thirty meters high and over a hundred meters deep.

Inside, there was a vast square.

Xiao Yi curiously examined the cave but found nothing special.

Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, "Senior Brother, what's inside?"

"Sword Intent!"

Xiao Yi immediately thought of the sword intent from last night that made her soul tremble.

Her skin was covered in goosebumps.

"Am I, am I going in?"

Xiao Yi's voice was trembling.

If she faced that sword intent now, she would die.

Ji Yan said, "Not yet, wait a bit."

Xiao Yi had no heart to ask what they were waiting for; she felt like crying.

They waited and waited, and it was already noon.

Fortunately, they were cultivators, or they would have lost their patience long ago.

However, Ji Yan seemed to be losing his patience too.

Without any movement, the long sword on his back instantly unsheathed and shot into the air.

Xiao Yi watched with envy.

That was so cool.

Before long, the sword flew back and returned to the sheath.

With a clang, the intimidating cold light disappeared.

After about half an hour, Lü Shaoqing appeared.

Lü Shaoqing grumbled, "Are you crazy? Is this how a senior brother acts?"

"Is it illegal to sleep in?"

Ji Yan snorted, "Did you forget what you were supposed to do today?"

Lü Shaoqing looked at Xiao Yi and laughed, "Didn't I forget?"

"Can you blame me? Wasn't it because of you last night?"

"Without you, would I be this tired?"

Lü Shaoqing was very indignant. If you hadn't dragged me into a fight last night, would I be this tired?

Xiao Yi's eyes widened. Do these two senior brothers have a thing for each other?

Although she knew it was unlikely, Lü Shaoqing's words made it hard not to think that way.

Ji Yan said, "Stop talking nonsense, watch here."

Lü Shaoqing said, "If you don't have confidence, don't drag others into it."

"Can't she take her time to understand it?"

Ji Yan said, "The sooner she understands, the more benefits she will gain."

Lü Shaoqing could only say to Xiao Yi, "Little Sister, do you have any last words?"

"Oh, last words don't matter. What matters is the inheritance. Do you have anything to pass on?"

Xiao Yi's face turned pale.

She looked at Ji Yan, "Senior Brother, is it dangerous inside?"

Ji Yan said, "Don't listen to him. Believe only a third of what he says, and treat the rest as nonsense."

Lü Shaoqing said, "If you have confidence in the Sword Cave you designed, why did you ask me to come and support you?"

"You're just too proud."

Ji Yan ignored Xiao Yi and said to her, "Go in."

Xiao Yi looked at the Sword Cave. It felt like a fierce beast's bloody mouth, waiting for her, a tender and delicious prey, to walk in.

Xiao Yi pitifully looked at her two senior brothers.

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, I—"

Ji Yan said, "No excuses, you must go in today."

"Only after understanding the sword intent can you come out."

Lü Shaoqing said, "Don't worry, if you die inside, I'll help you collect your remains."

"By the way, do you really have no inheritance—"

"Clang!"

Half of Ji Yan's sword was exposed.

Lü Shaoqing immediately changed his tone, "Go in, it won't be dangerous."

"Even if it is dangerous, it will be quick, and you won't feel any pain—"

Xiao Yi was about to cry.

Dad, Uncle, Tianyu Peak is too dangerous, I want to go home.

However, Xiao Yi had no choice. She could only steel herself and enter the Sword Cave.

Lü Shaoqing said behind her, "Feel it with your heart. If you are gentle, it will be gentle. Don't force it."

Xiao Yi felt a bit touched. Second Senior Brother was reliable.

Xiao Yi was about to say something.

Lü Shaoqing continued, "If you force it and die, I'll have to collect your remains. Without any inheritance, I'll be doing this for nothing."

I really appreciate it.

Xiao Yi glared at Lü Shaoqing and then entered the Sword Cave.

After entering the Sword Cave, the entrance disappeared.

Xiao Yi looked around. She was in a small wooden house, which was empty.

There wasn't even a door.

Xiao Yi stood at the entrance and saw a wide square in front of her.

In the middle of the square was a tall stone pillar, and there seemed to be something on it.

Xiao Yi stepped out of the door and saw clearly what was on the stone pillar.

A dragon.

On the stone pillar, a small white dragon was coiled around it.

Its head and horns were fierce, exuding boundless pressure.

Noticing someone had arrived, the small white dragon suddenly opened its eyes.

Its expressionless eyes stared at Xiao Yi intently.

Xiao Yi's scalp tingled, and the immense pressure made her body tremble uncontrollably.

The aura emanating from the small white dragon was familiar; she had already felt it last night.

This was the terrifying sword intent she felt last night.

The small white dragon was the embodiment of the sword intent.

Every part of its body was the embodiment of the sword intent, incredibly fierce.

The sword intent had taken form!

It was the second stage of the sword intent.

How abnormal is Senior Brother?

Xiao Yi wanted to cry. What a sin, to suffer like this on the second day of joining.

Xiao Yi mustered her courage, and her spiritual energy surged.

This movement was like a signal. The small white dragon left the stone pillar, rose into the air, and charged straight at Xiao Yi.

Before the small white dragon arrived, its overwhelming aura had already reached her.

It was like a heavy hammer, striking her chest heavily.

"Spit!"

Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Yi's eyes showed panic, "Too, too strong, I, I'm not a match."

The small white dragon didn't care and continued to charge.

"Roar!"

A loud roar made Xiao Yi feel as if countless flying swords were piercing her body.

Xiao Yi spat out another mouthful of blood.

She knew that with her current strength, she was no match for the small white dragon.

But she barely withstood two attacks. If this continued, she would die.

She looked around, but the surroundings were empty.

Seeing the small white dragon's attack coming again, Xiao Yi crawled and rolled back into the small wooden house.

The small white dragon stopped attacking and circled around the wooden house, eyeing it hungrily.

After recovering, Xiao Yi saw the small white dragon's persistent look and angrily made a gesture at it.

"Little pest!"

However, this seemed to anger the small white dragon.

Roar!

The wooden house shattered with a loud noise.
