Sword Venerable, Your Sword Spirit Is a Villain!

(The original title is on the cover.) Chu Lan Yin was widely known in the cultivation world as a useless beauty. He was dazzlingly beautiful, sickly and frail, and possessed a primordial spirit within him, making him a natural, top-grade cultivation cauldron. It was said that anyone who nourished themselves with him would soon ascend to immortality. For a hundred years, his admirers had been as plentiful as fish crossing a river, but no one had ever managed to lay a hand on him. There were two reasons for this. First, he was the sword spirit incarnated from the deceased Sword Venerable's sword. The Sword Venerable had no children or disciples, and after his death, all that remained was the Lan Yin Sword. In a manner of speaking, Chu Lan Yin was practically the Sword Venerable's widow. Second, the Linghua Sect, the greatest sect under heaven, treated him like its most precious treasure. The entire sect doted on him, and wherever he went, a tribulation-transcending ancestor would clear the way for him. Just as everyone thought this sword spirit would enjoy a long, lucky life as a useless beauty, the war between the immortals and demons broke out. The entire Linghua Sect fell in battle. Ten thousand soul lamps went dark overnight. When Chu Lan Yin emerged from seclusion, all his protectors were gone. Dressed in white mourning clothes, he donned hemp mourning garments for the entire sect by himself. The demon army marched on the city. To humiliate the alliance of immortal sects, a demon general proposed a ten-day truce in exchange for holding the Lan Yin Sword, widow of the Sword Venerable, as a hostage. After reading the peach-blossom letter, with its unmistakable note of insult, Chu Lan Yin smiled faintly. "I'll be back in a moment." The cultivators felt a pang of sympathy. This frail cultivation cauldron was sure to be tormented and toyed with by the demons every day. How could he possibly make it back? Who could have guessed? On the first night the Lan Yin Sword entered the demon realm, a vast surge of sword energy shot into the sky. The demon realm's ley lines collapsed, and half of the dragon bones stretching a thousand miles were sliced away! By the morning of the third day, the bodies of the Seven Demon Generals had been destroyed, and their souls had been bundled up and express-delivered back to the cultivation world's headquarters. At noon on the seventh day, the ten thousand soul lamps of the Linghua Sect reignited in broad daylight. The big shots came back to life on the spot, utterly bewildered. On the evening of the tenth day, seeing that his people were doomed, the Demon Lord sacrificed himself to unseal the great demon in the forbidden grounds, all to stop the Lan Yin Sword, who was on a killing spree. The great demon was terrifying. His eyes blood-red, he opened with a line that stunned everyone present: "Who bullied my little Lan Yin? Your master will make them pay." The Demon Lord, burning up his life force: Sword Venerable! Why is it you?! The wailing demons: What happened to the bloodthirsty fiend we were promised?!
