Chapter 260: A Song for Tao Addict
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
It was very difficult for cultivators to break the realm, including Prince Long Qing on the snow cliff and Ning Que beside the Daming Lake. Both of them had spent several days of penance to achieve it. But sometimes breaking the realm was also very simple. Ning Que had once obtained enlightenment of the Perception State and then entered the No Doubts State. He did not feel it had been difficult to cross the obstacles between the three states.
It was also very simple for the Taoist girl in a red skirt to break the realm. When the wind and snow changed into a girdle around her waist and the peach blossom and grass on the cliff became static, she became a Grand Cultivator of the Knowing Destiny State.
It was known that Tao Addict, Ye Hongyu, had a higher state than Prince Long Qing. When he had almost reached the threshold of the Knowing Destiny State, she had already stepped onto the threshold long ago. But no one knew why she did not step over it. When Long Qing was about to enter the Knowing Destiny State, she did not feel jealous or scared at all.
Because she could enter the Knowing Destiny State at any time she wanted.
In the depth of the verdant valley, a violent aura fluctuation appeared, mixed with a terrifying talisman sign.
Ye Hongyu floated above the snow cliff with tightly closed eyes. Her red skirt ribbon extended in the air encircling her body and her beautiful face was filled with quietness. She seemed not to notice the movement in the distance. However, the snow and wind around her body suddenly blew wildly and made her red dress ribbon flutter.
As the strong aura skyrocketed in the depth of the valley, the red ribbon floating in front of her was shattered into numerous butterflies in the sky. The vague shooting orbit of the arrow passed through the red butterflies and rubbed her shoulder flying
diagonally to the faraway sky, and then disappeared.
The arrow shot from the depth of the verdant valley failed to penetrate her body, but still wounded her shoulder. The red blood flowed down from her white tender shoulder. The broken ribbon fell to the snow cliff; the blood flowed to her left hand and trickled
along with her fingertip.
Before the blood dripped on the snow cliff, a jade-like white hand caught it.
Ye Hongyu opened her eyes; they did not have the slightest emotion. She looked at the depth of the verdant valley and suddenly jumped down from the snow cliff. She stepped onto the ridge of the cliff and drifted into the dense hardwood forest with the wind.
As she entered the forest, her ribbon passed through the fine branches and young leaves flicked her face. It seemed that her body, the forest foliage and the air around her had merged together, becoming a part of the natural world. If one only perceived but did not use the naked eye to see, he could not find her at all. She floated indifferently into the depth of the valley with the wind in the forest.

Ning Que made a very rapid judgment. He had guessed that the strong person breaking the realm was Tao Addict. He had already ruined Prince Long Qing. Would he still want to destroy another hope of the West-Hill Divine Palace? No matter how firm one's will was, he would be embarrassed in the face of such an unexpected situation. But his response was even faster than his judgment. He did not hesitate to use Primordial Thirteen Arrows once again. The action seemed to come even faster than his thinking.
Since he had already killed one, he did not care about killing another. Besides, he had destroyed Prince Long Qing. Tao Addict had suddenly broken the realm and obviously wanted to kill him. He could feel the hidden danger from the wind in the verdant valley.
Unfortunately, his second Talisman Arrow did not cause the same effect as the first. His physical condition and mental state at this time were not as good as when he had broken the realm. More crucially, he did not expect Tao Addict to break the realm so fast, even before his swift and resolute shooting!
He clearly felt a tearing pain in his right shoulder. The Psyche Power fluctuation caused by his using the talisman in his sense of perception made him feel slightly dizzy. But he knew that he could continue and shoot again as long as he did not give up. So he was not discouraged. He held the iron bow and put a Talisman Arrow between his fingers, aiming at the distance calmly, showing no emotion.
The light on the snow cliff suddenly faded away and disappeared. One could vaguely see the faraway forests moving against the wind and broad leaves swinging. Occasionally a gorgeous red cloth swept among them. At such a distance, he could only see it occasionally with his naked eye. He could not locate her position using his sense of perception. How could he aim at her?
Ning Que's hand controlling the bow trembled. He knew that the current situation was terrible, but he only felt panic for a short moment before quickly making a decision. He put the iron bow behind his back and picked up the arrow box. He turned around and ran to the bottom of the meadow shouting, ”Run!”
A moment ago, he had calmly pulled the bow. Now he was running away like a frightened rabbit. Mo Shanshan's fingers that had constantly moved for a calculation suddenly stiffened. She looked at the back of Ning Que who had run to the bottom of the meadow. Puzzled and confused, she asked, ”Shouldn't we get ready to kill her here?”
Ning Que did not return and shouted, ”That woman is too cruel. We can only be killed by her. Run!”

Sangsang was Ning Que's life. Sangsang was a poor handmaiden who had been abandoned since childhood, had been soaked in corpse water, had suffered from a congenital cold-feeling disease and had been ordered around by Ning Que for years. If Sangsang was his life, this indirectly proved that...
