How to Bring Common Sense to Xianxia World

"What did you say?" the general blurted out.

Before Dr. Steiner could answer, a radio transmission suddenly rang out.

"General! Sir! There’s a change in the portal!"

"Put the live feed from the portal on the main monitor!" the general shouted to one of the scientists in the room.

At his command, the image on the largest monitor changed.

It showed the portal. At first, the energy field covering it had been a deep blue, preventing anyone from seeing what lay on the other side.

But this time, the energy field had become much lighter, allowing everyone on this side to see through it.

On the other side was a cavern. A massive cavern with half-finished construction, where people were running around in panic.

Every one of them wore ancient-style clothing that appeared to belong to ancient China.

"My God... Is that... the other side?" the general muttered under his breath as he stared at the screen.

— 15 Minute Earlier - Emerald River Campsite —

A few hours after Wei Chen left for the Ximen Clan, the construction continued as usual.

Youqi, who was overseeing the construction while guarding against any experts beyond what the Lower Realm could accommodate, continued carrying out her duties without pause.

From what she knew and the clues she had gathered over this period, it seemed that the Fate Weaving Sovereign was very interested in the other side, while her husband clearly didn’t want anyone interfering with the laws of that world.

And when it came to interfering with the normal operation of fate and the laws of reality, the Fate Weaving Sovereign was exactly the kind of person who would do something to disrupt the existing order.

Today, however, Youqi felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety, as though something terrible was about to happen. Even so, she couldn’t figure out what it was.

Suddenly, Youqi sensed that the Laws of Heaven and Earth surrounding the campsite had changed. The density of spiritual qi was increasing rapidly, and the laws themselves were shifting at an alarming pace.

The changes continued until the Laws of Heaven and Earth around the campsite matched those of the Immortal Realm.

Youqi gritted her teeth. This was very bad. Such a sudden change in the Laws of Heaven and Earth would undoubtedly cause catastrophic consequences. The only question was what form those consequences would take.

She quickly took out a white jade slip from her storage ring and crushed it. This was the emergency token that would notify Yan Rongjun that she needed help.

Youqi rushed out of the command tent, and the sight before her left her stunned.

More than ten experts stood before the campsite. Every one of them had a cultivation realm beyond what the Lower Realm should have been able to accommodate. The weakest among them was a Pseudo Immortal, while the strongest had reached the Mid Stage True Immortal Realm. And there was more than one expert at that level.

"I’ll ask you one time, ant. Where is the woman named Dream Butterfly?" the leader of the group asked Youqi.

After sensing their cultivation, Youqi couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. Their cultivation realms had not exceeded the limit she could handle.

As expected, the Laws of Heaven and Earth in the Lower Realm were not so easy to alter. Perhaps this was the best the Fate Weaving Sovereign could do, temporarily changing the laws just enough to allow True Immortal Realm cultivators to exist in the Lower Realm.

"Why do you want to know?" Youqi asked.

"Just answer me, ant! Where is she!?" the leader demanded disdainfully before releasing his spiritual pressure toward Youqi.

Boom!

An overwhelming wave of spiritual qi crashed into the earth, shattering the ground beneath it while the river nearby split apart under the immense pressure.

Yet the space surrounding Youqi remained perfectly calm, as though nothing had disturbed it.

Seeing that Youqi remained completely unaffected by his pressure only made him angrier. This insignificant ant actually dared to resist him. He had deliberately held back, intending only to force her to kneel rather than seriously injure her. Yet she had not only refused to kneel, she had resisted him entirely.

The leader increased his spiritual pressure several times over, yet the result remained exactly the same.

Only then did genuine interest appear in his eyes.

"Could it be that you’re carrying some kind of protective artifact? Interesting..." the leader said as he carefully observed Youqi.

He finally noticed that although Youqi wore strange attire, the outfit suited her perfectly. The fitted shirt accentuated her figure, while the miniskirt and high heels made her appear even more dazzling.

The leader’s eyes, which had initially been clouded with arrogance, gradually filled with lust.

Youqi also noticed his gaze, and it immediately disgusted her. It was completely different from the way her husband looked at her with appreciation. No, it was even worse than the way Ximen Hao looked at her. His gaze was filled with admiration that bordered on adoration and worship.

Especially whenever he looked at her high heels.

Wait... why was there worship mixed in with that? Especially over her high heels.

But that didn’t matter. She simply hated the way this man was looking at her.

At that moment, a powerful surge of spiritual qi erupted from the tent where the teleportation array had been set up. Its overwhelming aura made the combined spiritual pressure of the experts seem insignificant by comparison.

A few seconds later, Yan Rongjun stepped out of the tent, carrying her massive black halberd. Her black and crimson armor, adorned with skull motifs, made her appear even more fearsome. Her long, wild hair resembled a lion’s mane more than human hair, further emphasizing her valiant presence.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the group of experts floating in the sky as they gazed down upon the campsite.

"Yo. Are you a pack of idiotic dogs trying to bully our little Qiqi?" Yan Rongjun asked, casually resting her black halberd on her shoulder.

"Insolence!"

One of the experts unleashed a palm strike formed from spiritual qi, intending to suppress her.

Boom!

The enormous palm strike landed squarely on Yan Rongjun.

Other than ruffling her clothes, however, nothing changed. There wasn’t even a scratch on her armor.

"What’s that? Were you trying to fan me?" Yan Rongjun mocked.

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

The overwhelming aura released by the experts rapidly weakened, as though it were being suppressed by an even greater force.

That terrifying pressure came from the wild-looking woman clad in black and crimson armor.

Yan Rongjun’s eyes slowly changed.

Her black pupils gradually turned blood red like the eyes of a wild beast.

The eyes of a king among beasts.

The eyes of an apex predator that roamed the Immortal Realm.

One of the experts broke out in a cold sweat as his face turned pale. His memories suddenly surfaced, and the arrogance in his eyes quickly faded.

This woman... she seemed very familiar.

That wild beast-like aura, that smile, and that absurdly powerful physique.

Wait... wasn’t she one of...

"Everyone! Retreat! She’s..."

Splash!

Before the expert could finish his warning, his body was destroyed in a single strike.

Yan Rongjun had moved first.

Her halberd didn’t slice through him. The weapon was far too blunt for cutting. Instead, it smashed into his body with overwhelming force, causing it to explode.

"Oh, come on... don’t spoil my fun! I haven’t killed arrogant bastards like you in a long time!" Yan Rongjun said with a bloodthirsty smile.

Seeing one of their companions die so suddenly, the remaining experts immediately realized they had kicked an iron plate.

They quickly scattered, drawing their weapons and activating their defensive artifacts.

Then Yan Rongjun vanished.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Three more bodies exploded as the black halberd claimed their lives.

Yan Rongjun’s movements were simply too fast for them to follow.

This wasn’t the Immortal Realm. There, the Laws of Heaven and Earth were strong enough to protect the surrounding environment from the shockwaves of powerful battles. In the Lower Realm, moving at such terrifying speeds should have devastated everything nearby.

Yet this woman could move so effortlessly without disturbing the surrounding environment in the slightest.

The leader was alarmed. He desperately tried to locate the terrifying woman.

Then his survival instincts screamed at him to run.

But it was already too late.

"Shit! Myriad Protection Bell, activate!"

Boom!

The defensive artifact expanded into a gigantic ancient bell over twenty meters tall, receiving Yan Rongjun’s strike head-on.

But before the leader could breathe a sigh of relief, cracks spread across his treasured defensive artifact.

Boom! Clang!

The bell shattered.

The dull black halberd descended toward the leader’s head.

"No!"

Splash!

Another life was claimed by the powerful black halberd.

The leader didn’t even have time to scream before his body exploded the instant the blunt weapon struck him.

Watching her sister revel in the slaughter, Youqi couldn’t help but let out a tired sigh.

"Haa... Husband is going to have to work overtime... again..."
