Emily's eyes narrowed as she realized who the woman was and she involuntarily said: "Lady Song Yue?!?"

The woman in black smiled enigmatically and jumped off the tombstone, her body flashed to the ground a few meters away from Emily.

"It really is you! Xia Yunyi is looking for you, thank god you're alive!" Emily said as she let out a sigh of relief. Her father had contacted her a few weeks ago giving her another new directive, find Song Yue as soon as possible.

Song Yue or as she was known in the Verulyim kingdom, Nesilia. Was a cultivator sent to them by the head of the Song clan. She was meant to be both a diplomatic tool but her visit to the west was also a tempering journey.

'Yunyi, he could help but...' Nesilia thought to herself as she pressed her lips together.

Nesilia wanted to escape from Ye Yuyan's clutches but at the same time, she didn't. She had already gained a lot just by following him this far and has learned so many secrets of the world. Even if she did have Yunyi, would that be enough to deal with Ye Yuyan?

Especially since he still had a seal over her grimoire, he had placed that seal back when she loaned it to him. Ever since then she hadn't been able to activate it without Ye Yuyan's tacit consent.

"Don't worry I am quite fine." Nesilia smiled coyly as her white aura grew like flames.

Suddenly a burst of white mist enshrouded Emily and her companions, Cardinal black's body bulged as he unsheathed his sword shooting out a black beam of energy.

"Don't hurt her!" Emily yelled anxiously as Cardinal black's sword beam flew out slash apart the mists towards Nesilia.

Nesilia's white aura burst through the mists and what was revealed left everyone dumbfounded. Nesilia stood still as the black sword beam clashed against her aura unable to cut through.

"Impossible!!!" Su Yan said wide-eyed as his eyes filled with shock. Augurs were known for their weak battle power especially against knights since a knight's energies have no relation to slaughter qi.

Nesilia eyes glazed over as they flashed with white light, the sword beam dissipated into nothingness from her gaze leaving everyone in shock.

"Lady Song Yue, if that demon is threatening you we can protect you." Emily said as she probed for answers but Nesilia went silent.

"World of the Divines!" Nesilia coldly intoned, her voice forced the white mists to seethe violently. From the mists emerged an eagle, it flew to the skies ascending with each flap of its wings.

Then a sparrow emerging following, then a gull, and geese. More and more creatures of the sky emerged filling the sky up with the white forms of divine creatures.

"Scram of me!" Su Yan roared as the mists tried to engulf them, he released a powerful yellow light that caused distortions in the air.

The white mist seethed trying to force through but it still failed, Nesilia focused her attention on forming the birds as the last of the mists become a bluebird that flew onto her shoulder.

"Your Highness, we can detain her." A little boy in green robes said as he unsheathed a green sword.

"I agree with Cardinal Green, your highness. Let us capture her with our formation." The woman in blue robes said as she grabbed her blue longsword.

"I think we can more than handle her." The red robed man sneered as he removed a red longsword from his back.

"Be sure not to harm her and Cardinal Black, you need to hold back." Emily commanded as a golden aura burst from her body.

"Four Cardinal Directions formation!" She yelled as her dress swayed with a golden aura, the hems of her dress shined with red, blue, green, and black as four swords burst out.

The four swords pointed north, south, east, and west. Each swordsman took their place green was east, blue was west, the north was black, and south was red.

"Four swords unite!" The yelled all together as their sword forces united into a four colored formation.

"How impudent!" Nesilia said as she pursed her lips, they talk of capturing her as if she had no strength at all.

"Attack!" She commanded as the divine clouds flew down like swords onto the Cardinals. The four cardinals auras blended together as they went towards the center of the formation.

The blue-robed woman took the lead as her blue aura burst from her body like a sea, she roared to the incoming clouds: "Synchronize! First Sword: Boundless seas!"

The sword forces at the center of the formation transformed into an immeasurable sea. The sea burst through the skies slamming into the divine clouds. Nesilia's expression hardened as she raised her right hand towards the divine clouds and coiled them around the boundless sea.

"Burst!" Cardinal Blue said as she gritted her teeth. The boundless sea lost form as it burst apart shooting blue sword forces everywhere.

Nesilia's right arm twitched hard as she lost control of the divine clouds and suddenly the mist lost its shape. The remnant blue sword forces fell to the earth like rain filling the valley with blue motes of light

'All of them are peak rank 3 experts, with that formation they have the power of an initial stage rank 4 expert and they still have those two.' Nesilia thought to herself as she analyzed the battle, she looked over at Emily and Su Yan who both had calm expressions.

Cardinal Green's aura activated as the blue sword forces gathered to the center of the formation, in his eyes flashed a great tree stretching to the firmament.

"Second Sword: Fruits of Karma." He roared as his green sword forces absorbed the blue sword forces and suddenly it grew into a massive great tree. Hanging on the tree was a red pomegranate on gathered lined along it were nomological symbols.

Cardinal Green sent a sword flash cutting the pomegranate into half and from it shot out hundreds of green vines aiming for Nesilia. Nesilia's heart lurched as she gathered her divine aura.

"Eye of the Divine!" Nesilia called to the heavens, suddenly a portion of the clouds and birds came together forming a funnel from the heavens down to the formation.

The four cardinal swords looked up at the funnel, they were completely consumed into it like a pillar of light. The funnel completely sealed up the Karma tree and its fruits, the green vines were held back by a wall of divine mist.

A strange feeling formed in the hearts of the Cardinals, it was as if they were being watched. Nesilia opened her grimoire and quickly flipped through pages then she closed her eyes. Her holy white aura started to dissipate like a flame in the wind, then her eyes flashed open.

She started to recite from the grimoire, as a white light burst from the funnel suppressing the swordsmen.

"The High Heavens stand above all, watching coldly, as the drama of man ends in destruction." Her cold and heartless intonation bore down on the four like the weight of a mountain.

The four cardinals bodies lurched to the ground almost kneeling as their formation started to show cracks. Cardinal Green took the lead his little body ascended to the top of the karma tree, taking command of the karma-fruit he shot out thousands of green vines shooting at the funnel.

"Break for me!" Cardinal Green said gritting his teeth as he cut open a hole. The three other cardinals moved quickly as the leaped out of the funnel. Cardinal Green joined them as he jumped into his place on the formation.

"To think she could exchange two moves with your cardinals." Su Yan laughed as he clapped in amusement.

'Ji Shu knows what our alliance is planning. Then he must have other methods prepared...' Emily thought to herself but she gave away nothing as she kept a stone face the entire time, watching the battle intently.

"She won't last any longer." Cardinal Red said with a sneer, the cracks in the formation started to repair as his aura grew like red flames.

"Ignite!" His body turned into a ball of flames and suddenly the flames exploded out into red sword forces. The sword forces hit the karma tree igniting it, all the way to the firmament. The green sword forces fed the flames as the sword forces gathered toward the Cardinal Red's longsword.

"You did well to fight us for so long. But your cultivation is far too weak!" He laughed as the red sword forces burst to the heavens turning the sky red with flames.

"Third Sword: Flames of immolation!" He roared as the red flames scattered across the skies slashing apart the divine clouds and birds.

The flames devoured the skies engulfing the whole valley and threatened to absorb Nesilia too. But Nesilia was unconcerned instead she closed her eyes as she remembered training with Ye Yuyan over the last month.

********************

"The Chaste Divine Body is a special type of body. It like all special physiques originates from a Rule Fragment." Ye Yuyan said as he tapped her various pressure points on her body while she was meditating.

"When the lifespan of a bearer ends as it inevitably will. Then their body dissipates into the law of kings and their laws disappear from the world." He continued to say even though she closed her eyes she kept her attention to his words.

"But there is one exception to this rule, the rule fragments! When a bearer dissipates their laws don't completely get absorbed by heaven. Some of that power is absorbed by objects, beasts, and even humans." He said causing shock and excitement to travel through Nesilia's body.

"You have within you a Rule Fragment of the Mind Bearer. You can use this technique to inspire its true prestige." Ye Yuyan said as the lotus leaves superimposed bringing his cultivation to the third revolution.

In his left hand manifested a shadowy scroll and quill from the third leaf. This was the scroll he used to create his dao of heavenly secrets.

"Now watch carefully!" Ye Yuyan said as he swiftly unfurled the scroll, a blinding white light engulfed the temple releasing intense heavenly fluctuations. Nesilia's eyes flashed with enlightenment as she stared at the heavenly principles in the scroll.

***********************

Nesilia cut a lonely figure amongst the immolation flames, her body swayed like a shadow as her eyes flashed open.

The remnant divine aura throughout the valley gathered into her body in an instant. The immolation flames were instantly forced back 10 meters and the distance kept growing as if it couldn't even approach her.

"Impossible!" Cardinal Red roared as he raised his red sword to guide the immolation flames in the sky to fall upon her. But Nesilia was faster, she released her divine aura which outshined the immolation flames.

"Right hand of Heaven!" Nesilia yelled as the divine mists gathered together creating a massive palm the size of a mountain. The palm bore down on the Cardinals swiftly as if it were heavenly judgment. This was the technique that she comprehended from Ye Yuyan's training!
