In the realm of Song Qianqiu, the strongest warrior among the Puppets is undoubtedly Miao Guanyin. However, when it comes to the most crucial Puppet, Song Qianqiu leans towards the White-Robed Old Scholar. The Old Scholar excels in Void Technique, capable of splitting the void to evade powerful enemies in an instant. Compared to Miao Guanyin, he is also more agile. These two are his right and left arms, and their presence is vital before he becomes Supreme.
The White-Robed Old Scholar retreated beside Song Qianqiu, his arms covered in wounds, ghostly energy swirling around him as he continuously healed.
Miao Guanyin's figure elongated against the fiery blaze engulfing Sky Master. Her expression was solemn, resembling a Bodhisattva standing tall in the river of history beneath the starry sky. The light illuminated her white robe, making it shine even more brilliantly.
Rain Master Luo eyed her warily and began to retreat. Miao Guanyin plucked a flower with her right hand and brought her large hand down towards Rain Master Luo. Rain Master Luo rolled away just in time, leaving a massive handprint on the ground.
With a sweeping motion of her sword, Rain Master Luo unleashed a wave of sword energy that tore through the void. Miao Guanyin retracted her hand as the White Silk above her head fluttered. She caught Rain Master Luo's sword energy barehanded; radiance surged from her jade-like hands as her wounds healed rapidly.
Miao Guanyin's entire being shone like jade when suddenly countless arms appeared behind her, executing the Thousand-Handed Avalokiteshvara technique. Thousands of jade hands surged toward Rain Master Luo, who countered with the Huanhua Sword Technique. The sword light danced as she slashed through the incoming arms.
Amidst the chaotic assault, Miao Guanyin's true arm struck toward Rain Master Luo. Feeling the force of the punch approaching, Rain Master Luo blocked with her sword but was sent flying with a loud thud, sliding across the ground for hundreds of meters.
Gasping for breath, Rain Master Luo's hair fell to her shoulders, obscuring her vision. With fierce determination in her eyes, she moved her sword in all directions and executed One Sword Technique against Miao Guanyin. A terrifying wound appeared on Miao Guanyin's body; she shattered into pieces. Rain Master Luo initially thought Miao Guanyin would fall then and there, but unexpectedly, as her body fragmented, her skin turned to something akin to clay, and a new form emerged from the powder that fell away.
“Mud Buddha?” Rain Master Luo had never witnessed Miao Guanyin in battle before; she had only heard from Miao Shengnan about a life-saving secret technique called Mud Bodhisattva's Form at Nanhai Guanyin Monastery that could withstand a fatal blow like Golden Cicada shedding its shell.
After executing Mud Bodhisattva's Form, Miao Guanyin's aura weakened significantly. Rain Master Luo seized the opportunity to fly toward her. At that moment, Song Qianqiu stood behind Miao Guanyin with a sinister smile, eyeing several Miaojiang Grand Shamans who had been preparing nearby.
The Miaojiang Grand Shamans swiftly surrounded Rain Master Luo, their hands adorned with intricate patterns as they chanted incantations. Rain Master Luo immediately swept her sword across but just before she could strike, a tear fell from the corner of Miao Guanyin's eye.
With a flick of her fingertip, it seemed to pierce through eternity itself—not only blocking Rain Master Luo's sword light but also penetrating through Rain Master Luo's wooden sword and directly into her chest.
Rain Master Luo felt her meridians reverse flow as blood gushed forth; she was sent flying backward.
Breathless, she half-knelt on the ground, gripping the wooden sword embedded in it.
The wooden sword shattered at the point where it was struck by Tears of Guanyin. Rain Master Luo's aura diminished drastically as her complexion turned extremely pale.
Five Miaojiang Grand Shamans surrounded Rain Master Luo, chanting incantations as insect spells flew out, and corpse insects crawled toward her.
Rain Master Luo let out a grim smile and said, "You think you can kill me with such feeble skills? You overestimate yourselves!"
With a leap, Rain Master Luo swung her broken sword, unleashing a wave of sword energy that swept in all directions. The five Miaojiang Grand Shamans immediately suffered from a splitting headache. However, to Rain Master Luo's horror, in that moment of soaring through the air, her body stiffened, unable to move. Even the five Miaojiang Grand Shamans she had just slain froze in place, their heads and necks separated by three feet.
Within Miao Guanyin's palms, the illusion reflected the figures of the five Miaojiang Grand Shamans and Rain Master Luo. Suddenly, Miao Guanyin pressed her palms together, causing the bodies of the five Miaojiang Grand Shamans to explode in an instant, their blood and bones turning to dust.
Rain Master Luo screamed in agony, her expression filled with pain. She struggled to bring her hands together; her skin cracked open, and the wooden sword in her grasp had turned to splinters. Forming seals with her hands, she transformed into a sword and burst through the illusion, appearing outside the Fury Realm.
Coughing up blood and feeling weak, Rain Master Luo stumbled away.
"Senior Sister Yu, why are you running away? I haven't even made my move yet!" Song Qianqiu called out as he leisurely followed behind Rain Master Luo while perched on the shoulder of the Ghost King.
The others trailed behind Rain Master Luo as well, watching her become drenched in blood, leaving a trail of crimson on the ground.
"I can't die; I mustn't die," Rain Master Luo murmured to herself as a youthful face flashed in her mind. In that instant, pain and grievance surged within her heart.
Stumbling forward, memories of her childhood in the mountain village flooded back. She recalled wearing patched clothes with rosy cheeks—an authentic wild girl from the countryside.
She remembered seeing other children dressed in new clothes during the New Year while she sat on the edge of her bed with cracked hands from the cold, blowing warm breath into them.
At home was a lovely little brother whom everyone adored. Every New Year, he would wear new clothes while hers were full of patches; she never complained.
When she was four or five years old, she would accompany her parents to work in the fields. Whenever she saw other children playing, she would only glance at them before returning home to remind her brother not to wander off. They would return home on time for meals. She would give him a piece of candy she had received from the blacksmith at the village entrance; he would then toss it to his friends because he had grown tired of it.
She overheard children from the village saying to her brother that his sister was ugly but indeed a good sister—not like theirs who only knew how to hit them.
Then she saw the flames descending from the beams in the dead of night. Her mother threw herself over her younger brother to protect him, but the wooden beam crashed down on her mother's back and struck her abdomen as well.
Her mother was trapped in the raging fire, while her father lay dead against the wall, shot by a crossbow. Her mother grasped her hand and said, "Take your brother and run. You must protect him, my girl. You have to protect him, even if it costs you your life!"
At that time, Rain Master Luo was already ten years old, and Rain Family Village had no name yet. Many women in the mountain village were like this; from birth, they had no names, only referred to as 'the girl' or sometimes as 'so-and-so's girl.'
Holding her abdomen, Rain Master Luo fled with her brother behind the stone tablet at the edge of the village, watching a group of armed men wielding swords, pillaging and slaughtering villagers.
She covered her brother's mouth, fearing that he would cry out in terror and expose them.
Her brother struggled, and when Rain Master Luo loosened her grip, he said, "Sister, you're hurt."
It was then that she realized her abdomen was burned and bleeding. As she looked up, she saw a large man looming over them.
The man grabbed her brother, and her brother's cries still haunted her.
"Sister, save me! Mother told you to protect me!"
Rain Master Luo rushed forward and bit down on the man's wrist, but he kicked her away. Several bandits approached through the flames, and amidst their pleas, one of them thrust a sword through her brother's chest, killing him right before her eyes. She saw her brother's eyes widen in his final moments, seeking her protection.
From that moment on, whenever Rain Master Luo closed her eyes, she would see her brother.
As the bandit swung his sword toward him, Sword Body shattered into two pieces. Miao Shengnan flew in with a Dust Whisk in hand and killed all the bandits.
Miao Shengnan looked at the devastated village engulfed in flames and at the severely injured Rain Master Luo. She thought there was no hope for her; however, Rain Master Luo stood up unsteadily and walked to her brother's lifeless body. "Please save my brother," she pleaded.
Miao Shengnan frowned slightly but noticed that Rain Master Luo didn’t even furrow her brow. Coldly, she replied, "You can hardly save yourself; how could you possibly save your brother?"
Miao Shengnan took out a red pill from her sleeve and threw it on the ground. Rain Master Luo picked up the pill and immediately shoved it into her brother's mouth. Miao Shengnan said, "If you feed a dead person medicine, he won't survive, and neither will you."
Rain Master Luo hesitated. She bit the pill in half, feeding one half to her already deceased brother and swallowing the other half herself. Her tattered clothes were completely soaked with blood.
Miao Shengnan sighed and hoisted the numb Rain Master Luo onto her shoulder. With a sweep of her Dust Whisk, Dao Fire blazed brightly, incinerating all the bodies.
Miao Shengnan asked, "What is your name?"
Rain Master Luo replied, "I have no name."
Miao Shengnan said, "From now on, you shall be called Miao Yushi Luo."
Rain Master Luo responded, "My surname is Yu."
Miao Shengnan insisted, "Forget your surname."
Rain Master Luo reiterated, "My surname is Yu."
