This was a very ancient eight-sided sword, with exquisite craftsmanship that did not hide its inherent sharpness. The decorations perfectly integrated with the blade, clearly indicating it was an exceptional weapon, just from the decoration alone.

The girl's words were hard to understand. Was she implying that those who hadn't seen her were unforgivable Was she such a narcissistic celebrity that not knowing her was considered a sin

This seemed plausible but also unlikely, given how unassuming the girl appeared. How could someone like this care if others knew them or not

The key point might lie in the 'he' mentioned later on; it appeared because of him that she had come to kill. But who was this 'he'

"Miss, isn't there a misunderstanding here Who is the 'he' you're talking about" The Master of the Mo Family continued his inquiries. If it were a misunderstanding, he intended to clarify.

And if not, he would keep asking anyway to buy time until the Lady arrived to intervene. At this moment, without the Lady, no one seemed capable of withstanding this girl's assault.

The girl's displayed strength and the previous destruction suggested she might be a Lord-rank martial artist, which was beyond his level to handle.

In that instant, the Master of the Mo Family realized how naive he had been before, thinking one person, Mo Yu, could make them invincible. In reality, any individual like this girl could easily obliterate the Mo Family from existence.

Even if the Lady was intimidating, few at Lord-rank would be cowed by others' presence, and even those less powerful than her could act when she wasn't around. The Lady couldn't be there every day to protect them.

This time, this girl seemed aware of the Lady's existence yet still dared to attack alone; perhaps it indicated that the girl didn't care about the Lady at all.

"He’s called Xianyao!" The girl said indifferently.

"Xianyao Are you Empress Longjun, the great martial artist of the Tang Empire" As he asked this, the Master of the Mo Family thought of the Empress and her formidable strength...

Everything made sense!

The only thing that seemed unbelievable was that the Empress could look like this girl. The Heavenly Longevity Technique she practiced must be incredibly powerful.

Indeed, the Empress did resemble a young girl due to the corrections Xianyao had made to her technique, but she couldn't truly be called a girl!

Hence, this girl wasn’t the Empress!

This was obvious. If it were the Empress, she would have destroyed everything with one punch and wouldn’t waste words with him. In her eyes, he wasn't worth mentioning; daring to touch Xianyao meant she wouldn't hesitate to exterminate all Mo Family members.

"I'm not. I also wish to meet Lady Empress; she’s a good person," the girl said softly. Anyone who treated Xianyao well, in her view, was a good person, even if they weren’t nice to her.

“Then who are you” The Master of Mo Family couldn’t figure out who this girl was before him. He never would have imagined the answer until it revealed itself.

The moment he learned the truth, shock and regret would overwhelm him, like tasting every bitter flavor in a bottle.

“I am Isolated Star; Xianyao is my servant and most important person,” said Isolated Star calmly.

Isolated Star was indeed Isolated Star!

Why had she mocked before Was it towards him or herself As her own grandfather, he didn't recognize his granddaughter. How ironic!

A grandfather never meeting his granddaughter under the same roof was unforgivable.

"Isolated Star... You are..." The Master’s eyes widened in shock as disbelief flooded his face.

“The Malevolent Isolated Star, yes. I am here to prove that I’m the Malevolent Isolated Star and show you your belief in fate was correct. I’m here to destroy this Mo Family,” Isolated Star said calmly without any emotional fluctuations, as if discussing something unrelated to her.

The lack of a desire for revenge surprised him; he had expected her to hate him and the family intensely if she were Isolated Star, but there was none. This felt strange, making him think this couldn’t be Isolated Star!

"Impossible, you're not that Lone Star. How could her strength be this formidable She should still be inferior to Mo Yu." The head of the Mo Family shook his head; what he found hardest to accept was that Lone Star's strength would be so high.

From what he knew, Lone Star was merely a warrior above King rank but hadn't reached Emperor rank. He didn't think highly of her either. This wasn't because she performed poorly; it was just his inner resistance toward the idea.

He resisted the thought that Lone Star could grow to become an Emperor-rank warrior and even more so, the thought that she might surpass Miss Senior. After all, Lone Star was the Fateful Wastrel Star he had abandoned!

Then again, he recalled what the Recluse said back then. Was this fate predestined or something he himself created

"If you think it's not true, then that’s fine. Today, I will kill everyone who surrounded and killed the Recluse at that time. Not a single one of them can escape here. As for those who escaped and are elsewhere, I’ll find them and hunt them down with my remaining life!" Lone Star said coldly, her body’s chill causing the temperature to drop again.

"You can’t kill me; I’m your grandfather!" The head of the Mo Family sternly stated.

“Is that so” Lone Star replied coolly and then thrust a sword at the head of the Mo Family.

This sword strike was simple. Everyone knew how to dodge it, but not everyone could manage to do so because knowing something and being able to do it were two different concepts. Knowing how to dodge did nothing if one couldn’t actually do it.

Lone Star’s sword went straight ahead without any fancy moves. However, the speed of this strike was like lightning; as soon as she spoke her words, the blade appeared in front of the head of the Mo Family.

The head of the Mo Family knew he couldn’t dodge this blow because he lacked that speed. Though he still found it hard to believe Lone Star would kill him, reality forced him to accept it.

How could she have such strength How did she manage to kill her own grandfather…

The answers to these two questions seemed clear at this moment. In some ways, they were the same because both included the Recluse’s influence:

Her formidable abilities came from the Recluse who had been nurturing her all along. While she herself was also crucial to it, denying that everything depended on his cultivation of her would be wrong.

The reason why she could kill her own grandfather without hesitation was similarly tied to the Recluse since the head of the Mo Family wanted to kill him and this had stirred up Lone Star’s killing intent.

It's over, everything is finished. I can’t believe that by following my fate all along, I would end up ending it myself!

At this point, though unwilling, the head of the Mo Family could only accept reality as he slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the sword to strike.

Of course, slowly and waiting were illusions. Everything happened in an instant; people tend to perceive time as stretching infinitely at such moments!

"Clang!"

A sword suddenly flew over, striking Lone Star’s sword aside so that it missed its intended target.

Very few could dodge Lone Star’s strike and even fewer could save someone by flying a sword to intercept hers. Such people were at least Emperor-rank.

In this city, there weren’t many Emperor-rank warriors but only one would be willing to rescue the head of the Mo Family from Lone Star’s sword: Miss Senior!

It wasn't that others couldn’t do it; they simply wouldn’t risk offending Lone Star for him. Again, he was not worth such efforts.

Indeed, everyone felt a flash before their eyes as Miss Senior appeared in front of Lone Star. The speed she displayed could be imagined, but Lone Star still had an opportunity to attack—she just waited for Miss Senior’s arrival.

In the Mo Family, the only relative Lone Star acknowledged was Miss Senior since they had always treated each other as sisters and mixed with the Recluse who called her his brother.

Even though the Recluse never confirmed this relationship, he was quite fond of her and liked calling her his brother.

No matter which reason above, it allowed Lone Star to respect Miss Senior. If she wanted to stop her, then she had to give her a chance to do so and at least hear her out.

"Seventh Sister, don’t be like this. You’ll incur the sin of destroying your clan if you continue. It’s not an easy burden to bear," Miss Senior said with a smile, but it wasn’t a light one; there was much distress behind it.

Actually, she really didn't want to intervene because she would have to face either her grandfather or her sister.

This was also the reason why Recluse wanted to keep this matter private: He didn't want Miss Senior in a difficult position and didn’t wish Lone Star to bear any blame. Therefore, he did not tell Lone Star about it.
