Chapter 011: Xuan Shi Xian

Without waiting for Senior Ji and his companions to rage, Qiao Mu had already fiercely grabbed Miss Liu's tousled hair, dragging her like a puppet to his side. The next second, a sharp dagger was placed against Miss Liu's neck, causing Senior Ji and the others to stop in their tracks, their eyes filled with fear and anger.

"Release Miss Liu! We may spare your life!" Two disciples of the Tian Dao Sect glared at Qiao Mu with hostility.

Qiao Mu coldly glanced at the two, paying no attention to them. With a swift motion of his hand, he made a cut on Miss Liu's snow-white forehead with the dagger.

"Ah!" Miss Liu seemed to have just recovered from being stunned, and the pain on her forehead, as well as the horrifying sensation of the thick blood dripping down, made her tremble uncontrollably and scream at the top of her voice.

But in an instant, a cold sensation on her neck silenced her completely, leaving her trembling like a leaf.

The disciples of the Tian Dao Sect were furious and ready to charge forward. Suddenly, a sly voice from the side, belonging to Prince Lian, said, "I suggest you take a good look before you act."

Senior Ji subconsciously reached out to stop the impulsive disciple and, upon hearing Prince Lian's words, he couldn't help but look closely at Qiao Mu.

Upon closer inspection, his gaze subtly changed and immediately stopped at the small hand holding the dagger.

Though the hand appeared soft and weak, a faint white light enveloped it, making the dagger gleam brightly.

"Profundity!" Senior Ji's expression changed slightly, followed by a hint of joy.

He had never expected to encounter such a precious profound expert in such an insignificant village. Judging by the girl's appearance, it seemed like her profound veins were just awakening, and it was unclear how she had inadvertently triggered her profound power.

Although everyone could attempt to awaken their profound veins at the age of seven, it was usually under the guidance of senior mentors, using their own profound power as a guide. Moreover, successfully awakening the profound veins at once was rare. In the entire Skyspace Star, profound experts accounted for only one-ten-thousandth of the population. In other words, the majority of people in Skyspace Star were ordinary individuals without profound veins.

Hence, profound experts were extremely rare.

The girl's profound power was still weak and unsteady, sometimes present and sometimes not. However, her ability to awaken her profound veins on her own without guidance was indeed astonishing.

Senior Ji did not realize that his Miss Liu was at least a second-level profound expert, yet she was helpless against the ruthless girl, even without the ability to defend herself.

Senior Ji's expression visibly softened. "Young lady, you are a profound expert, and so are we. The Tian Dao Sect has always welcomed profound experts with the utmost enthusiasm. Remember, profound experts in the world are all comrades! Let's talk it out. Please release Miss Liu first."

Qiao Mu turned his left hand to reveal three shining bloodstains on the back of his hand, and his gaze remained cold and emotionless as he stared at the others.

Senior Ji's outstretched hand suddenly trembled, and he blurted out, "Compensation, we are willing to compensate!!"

Onlookers: ...

"Senior Ji!" Several disciples of the Tian Dao Sect couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

Senior Ji's sudden change of heart was just too unexpected! This dramatic turn of events left everyone at a loss for words!
