The Return of the Greatest Sect Leader
Chapter 28 ~ Shadows Behind the Light

The room was empty. Li Yao smiled as he looked at the various relics within the room. The room was filled with shelves containing books, heirloom weapons, resources, and so on.

Li Yao stepped back, approaching the gold coins piling up into a mountain. Behind the pile of gold, Li Yao saw a wooden box and walked up to him.

The box was large enough for Li Yao's size, almost as big as his small body size. Li Yao quickly opened the box and found many parchments and important sheets.

Li Yao's smile grew wider, in his heart he exclaimed cursing at the ignorant.

"Die you!"

After closing the box and then putting it into the spatial ring, a short while later Li Yao immediately walked out of the space. The large plain black door was closed again. Li Yao turned around then stepped out and climbed the stairs.

Before exiting, Li Yao took out all the martial arts books and many heirlooms from within his spatial ring. It was Li Yao's spoils while visiting the Old Tiger Sect. He intended to leave all the spoils in the room.

Li Yao realized that he was now too weak. There was no point for Li Yao to carry such an excessive treasure.

Arriving up there, the boulder that was split in two was immediately tightly closed as before. Without wasting any time, Li Yao instantly rushed back inside the dormitory.

In the middle of the forest silence, a girl was standing holding a sword. Li Yao paused for a moment then observed what the little girl was doing.

Li Yao deliberately took a detour to avoid the girl, but fate said another. He met the mysterious little girl.

The girl then moved and swung her sword, as if there was an enemy before her eyes. Li Yao peeked out from behind the bushes, praising every simple move the girl made.

The sword movements of the mysterious girl were light yet powerful, simple yet dazzling, precise, meticulous, and also supple. The girl did not use sword techniques at all, the girl only used basic techniques.

"Who is this mysterious girl?" Li Yao was getting more and more curious about the identity of the girl.

This time it seemed that the mysterious girl was unaware of Li Yao's existence. Was that time just a coincidence? As Li Yao thought about that then turned around, about to leave the place. A shadow suddenly appeared and attacked him.

Li Yao brushed off the attack with a sword coming out from within his spatial ring. The sound of two metal colliding clang to each other. The girl had apparently been aware of Li Yao from the beginning.

The girl's sword swung again, Li Yao repelled the sword attack while jumping backwards. There was a pause before the girl could attack again, realizing that Li Yao had instantly countered the mysterious girl's attack.

The silent forest was now filled with the sound of two iron rods clashing against each other.

The girl could fend off any attack of Li Yao, even replying to him. A smile appeared on Li Yao's face, the mysterious girl was simply incredible.

[Second Chapter Heavenly Road Art - The Shadow Behind the Light]

Li Yao's sword finally reached the girl's body. When Li Yao thought that he had won the fight, the girl's body immediately turned into a shadow.

Li Yao was stunned, especially when the nine shadows of the girl appeared surrounding him. The movements of the nine shadows looked extremely slow as they unsheathed their swords towards Li Yao.

As if turning into a huge spear, the nine swords in their hands were intent on piercing Li Yao's body from all directions. Li Yao's eyes were patterned, he deeply recognized the movement technique performed by the girl.

The girl can hide in one of the shadows, or in the darkness she created herself. The best solution was to dodge all those shadow attacks, but Li Yao did not.

The nine images of the huge spear struck Li Yao's body. Suddenly the whole shadow disappeared. Had Li Yao been in top form, he would have chosen to dodge all nine of those attacks.

Li Yao vomited blood even though his body looked fine. His soul ached, as if pierced by nine swords. The mysterious girl appeared from above the sky, intending to give Li Yao a final attack.

The girl's body froze, she felt helpless as the giant sword was about to stab itself. The mysterious girl slammed upwards, blood spilling out from her nose and mouth.

Before long the girl fell down then her body rolled on the ground. The girl's clothes were torn apart, especially on her stomach. The mysterious girl again vomited blood, she could feel if her inner body was seriously injured.

Li Yao walked over to the girl. The little girl's face remained flat and cold, her gaze sharpened as she saw Li Yao's figure approaching her.

"Who are you?" li Yao asked, he knew the little girl was using the Second Chapter Heavenly Road Art.

"I should have asked, what did a third level disciple in the forest behind the forbidden sect do?" The girl asked back.

Li Yao's forehead slightly folded, he did not expect the girl to know his identity. Currently Li Yao was wearing a furrowed fairy robe to cover her body and face, so it was impossible for the girl to be able to see her appearance.

Perhaps when Li Yao fainted yesterday, the girl took the opportunity to peek at Li Yao's face. That's the most reasonable explanation.

"Are you the daughter of the Sect Chief?" asked Li Yao again.

The moment the little girl fell silent, her face remained flat and emotionless. Li Yao could not read the look on the girl's face at all.

"Jawab my question!" exclaimed the girl, trying to dodge Li Yao's question.

"I was visiting my pet that was in the middle of the forest," Li Yao replied curiously, there was no way the girl would believe it.

"Oh, really?" The girl seemed to believe him Li Yao's nonsense.

"Really!" Li Yao was surprised, not expecting the girl to be so innocent. When you look around, the mysterious girl is indeed a 13-year-old little girl. Of course he's still innocent.

Li Yao momentarily forgot that he was fighting a little girl. Because the ability of the girl is very abnormal when looking at her age. For a moment Li Yao also forgot that he was just an 8-year-old child.

"So... "

"No!" exclaimed the girl, cutting off Li Yao's words.

"I'm not the Sect Chief's son" he continued.

Li Yao was silent for 5 seconds.

"You lied, right?"

"No!" replied the girl.

"You lied."

"No!"

"You must be lying!"

"I swear on my father's little life, I'm not lying!" said the girl with her flat face.

The little girl was clearly lying.
