Jingling—
The chain rubbed against the stone path, emitting an ear-piercing sound.
The oncoming person was a woman with a gaunt face. She was wet, with water dripping from the corners of her clothes as if she had been dragged out of the river. With her hair disheveled, she looked like a female ghost.
On her side, Fang Ling was holding her arm and walking slowly.
“These two people…”
Black Lotus said in low voice in the awareness sea. Su Li narrowed her eyes.
It was Mei Ruohan and Fang Ling. They both were acquaintances for Su Li.
Su Li watched them in silence, waited for them both to approach, and passed over her.
“Senior Sister Apprentice, I am afraid that you haven’t see the sun for many years. The sun is shining today, and it is nice. Master has ordered me to take you to get you tidy. You should cherish this opportunity.”
Fang Ling spoke gently. Many female disciple
Su Li was shocked slightly. She instantly recalled the extremely obscure peeping in the Black Stone Forest earlier.She was always clear that there was something odd in the Black Stone Forest. But because there were many things to deal with, she had no time to care about that.Since the seventh branch was involved in and Su Yuanhai was her key to control Su Family, she couldn’t ignore it anymore.“The information is too limited. Su Dieyin should know more.”Su Li frowned and pondered for a moment. Then she said in a low voice, “Except for Su Yang and Su Mu, has anyone who took part in the Tea Party for Immortals come back?”Hua Yan nodded, “Yes, it’s sure. After hearing Su Yang’s description, I am afraid that it could possibly be the fake news from the twenty-five sects. So, I sent people to verify secretly and found that eighty percent of the news was fake!”“Eighty percent?”Su Li caught the
“What are you doing?”Seeing no severe injuries on them, Su Dieyin was relieved and asked.“Master, please save Su Jiuzhou!”Su Jiuzhou?!Su Dieyin opened her beautiful eyes slightly wide. She turned and saw Su Jiuzhou in the inner room meditating. Compared to the neatly-dressed Su Xianyun and others, she was dressed in rags like a beggar. Bursts of the smell of blood pervaded in the house and made Su Dieyin frown.“Master, it was Su Jiuzhou who saved us all!”When Su Xianyun told the entire process, Su Dieyin came to Su Jiuzhou and took her pulse. She frowned more seriously.“Xianyun, why didn’t you contact me before coming back?”Su Dieyin’s voice sounded a bit cold, and the temperature in the air seemed to have dropped a few.Xianyun was stunned, and made a bitter smile, “Master, our storage rings were lost in the Chaos Zone, so we couldn’t contact you.”
“Mom, why are you here?”Seeing the woman, Su Dieyin’s solemn expression eased down immediately. She squatted in front of the woman and said in a warm voice, “I can handle the things at home, Mom. Don’t worry about that.”“Still hiding it from me?”The woman shook her head and with her eyes widely opened, “Your Uncle Guang has told me. Is Su Jiuzhou that important? You have secured your position of the head of the branch with difficulty. If Su Dingxian...”“I promised her and of course I must keep that.”Su Dieyin was serious. She said gently, “Even if she had not come to the second branch, I will repay her favor, because she had saved Xianyun and the other two. I am not the cold-blooded old fox of the main branch.”Hearing that, the woman became more helpless, “How dare you say this? You...”“Rest assured, Mom. I can handle it.”Su Dieyin held the woman’s hand gently and spoke in
After Ya’er left, the entire hall was in silence again, as if nothing had happened.Su Li closed the adytum door and took back all the visible expressions. With a flip of her palm, the carrier rune appeared in her palm. As the carrier rune blinked a few times, Su Yuanhai’s voice came from it.“Master, there is something odd about the spiritual stone mine in the Black Stone Forest. The sixth branch is determined to get the mine. I was fought back before I had time to see what was inside.I am not sure if it’s an illusion that I seemed to have smelt a scent of demons...”A light flashed in Su Li’s eyes.Demons?The legend of demons and monsters could be traced back to ancient times. Perhaps at the time when Black Lotus lived, demons and monsters could still often be seen. At the present, there were only several demon clans and they were just active in several large regions. Such a huge clan suddenly disappea
The woman shook her head and sighed, but the ordinary-looking middle-aged man did not answer. Suddenly, he stopped sweeping and turned his head to look outside the door, with a fierce gaze.“What’s wrong?”The woman glanced suspiciously at the entrance of the courtyard but saw no one. She could not help but ask.A trace of confusion also appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged man, and after he confirmed repeatedly, he shook his head, “I mistook. It’s nothing.”Meanwhile, Su Li was standing on a stone platform hundreds of meters away from the courtyard, looking at the courtyard in warmth and peace. She seemed to think something from her deep eyes.“That person could sense my trace, so his cultivation must be higher than Huashen Realm.”There was a practitioner in Huashen Realm standing behind Su Dieyin?Su Li pondered. The relationship between that person and Su Dieyin’s mother was obviously n
“Enough with your hurly-burly! How indecent!”Just as the groups were arguing in the hall, an angry grunt came through the hall straightly into the ears of the crowd, like the matin bells and vesper drums deafened the crowd for a moment.At the same time, a hunched figure appeared in front of the bedchamber and came next to Su Dingxian before the crowd even blinked. His eyes swept across the room indifferently.“Why is he here?!”Once Su Xianyun saw the face of the old man, his heart thumped, and he said a four-letter word secretly, forcing himself to bow respectfully and greeting unanimously with other elders.“Old ancestor!”“Old ancestor!”“Old ancestor...”The hunched elder nodded, but his face full of age spots was indifferent. Only when he looked at Su Dingxian, a little warmth emerged on his face.This person, was the biggest backer of Su Dingxian, also the roo
On the same day, in Yiyun Yard.Su Yuanhai’s face was pale, but his expression was incomparably respectful. He was standing in front of the desk in the room and asked with a hint of surprise in his tone, “Master, why are you here? If you told me before, I would prepare some refreshments.”Su Li did not answer, flipping through the intelligence reports received recently, with her eyebrows furrowing.Seeing this, Su Yuanhai immediately added aside, “We have sent a lot of people to the spirit stone mine, so has the sixth branch. Therefore, conflicts are inevitable ...”“How did you get hurt?”Su Li raised her head and a bright light flashed in her eyes.Su Yuanhai covered his chest and hastily replied, “To tell you the truth, Master, besides Su Jinnan, the sixth branch has invited another senior, whose cultivation should not be lower than the late stage of Yuanying Realm. I didn’t pay enough attention in the
Su Li never thought that she could realize the goal by herself alone, so she needed many more talents. Besides the annexation of different sects, if she met right talents, she would not let any of them go.Su Mian was born with a sensitive instinct, and Su Li appreciated that. But only time would tell whether this person could meet her standard in the future.A few moments later, Su Li and Su Mian walked out of the main tent, while Su Yuanhai stayed to preside over the overall situation.“Go to the mining cave occupied by the Sixth Branch.”Su Li faintly instructed. Su Mian led the way instantly and consciously didn’t ask a single question.They left the camp, walked through the dark forest, and arrived at the back of a small hill after about an hour.Although a black mist obstructed the sight, Su Li saw miners coming and going in the pitted minefield inside the col in her first sight. The incessant clank
Qu Liancheng watched the scene in silence because he was an accomplice. At this moment, he was at a loss except to remain silent.After adding an extra layer of protection for Bai Su, Ling Li dodged over to the Many-faced Witch, who had almost melted into a pile of flesh, and spoke calmly, "You've been cheated."A look of relief spread over the human face amidst the flesh, "I have sinned countless times in my life and deserve to die, but it is a pity that I couldn't drag him to die with me.""I'll let him accompany you in the hell."Ling Li looked up at the dispersing dark clouds. He was born in the Qingshui Circle and had never slaughtered mortals. The fight between practitioners couldn't cause the natural law to blast down the Destroy Thunder.In other words, Bai Mo could do nothing to him."Be careful. He... must have a backup plan."The human face amidst the flesh gradually couldn't
"Cough cough cough..."Fang Huaji fell in the ruins and threw back his head to laugh loud while coughing blood, "It's worthy of being a thunder for testing that even the Great Lord couldn't withstand. I provoked the slaughter, so it is natural for me to withstand the Destroy Thunder. But your thunder seems weak and has failed to kill me once, hahaha cough..."Bai Ming raised his eyebrows and bent his finger to flick. In an instant, another bucket-thick thunder rushed down from the dark clouds and directly ground Fang Huaji's bones to dust. At the same time, his laughter stopped abruptly.Fang Huaji was dead!Bai Su was not hesitant about this and just stared at the ground with the blood-red veins still on it.Bai Ming frowned slightly. This was indeed out of his expectation. Who but a Great Emperor could support the operation of such vast veins?"Well, just destroy it..."As Bai Ming wa
Unexpectedly, Fang Huaji received the thunder for testing into his hands. Did a Great Emperor... have such a powerful strength?With a cold snort, Fang Huaji drew opening a round portal with his right hand and then threw the light in his grip into it, "I don't dare to accept this 'great gift'. Here you are."As soon as Fang Huaji finished speaking, a round portal appeared above the Fate Palace. The violent thunder blasted down, but it directly dissipated into the air when approaching the Fate Palace.Fang Huaji coldly snorted at this and didn't care at all."Everyone, my refining weapons are under your feet. As long as you are willing to fight for the Qingshui Circle, you can take up them. Mortals can kill practitioners in the Zhuji Realm with them! Practitioners in the Zhuji Realm can kill the ones in the Jindan Realm with them! By analogy, if you are in nature's test, you can even join forces to kill a Junior Emperor. The
Su Li was sitting in the hall on the first floor. She was unsure whether her blood poison had diminished, but her only certainty was that even a Junior Emperor had no way out about her poison. Even though her blood poison had diminished a lot, it was also very likely to achieve the effect of poisoning the one in the Jindan Realm.Without waiting too long, Su Li saw the female practitioner who had just left and was rushing over, with the unfaded fear in her eyes. Immediately, she calmed down."Senior, our administrator invites you to the top floor for a detailed discussion."Su Li didn't scare in the slightest and chuckled, "It seems to receive a good effect."It was far superior to that!The female practitioner wore a sincere smile and led the way respectfully. After receiving the senior in such a position, her reward might be beyond expectation.A while later, they arrived at the top floor, and the
Hua Yan was surprised and suddenly enlightened. Su Li once went to see Fang Ling alone in the dungeon. After coming out, she didn't release Fang Ling, but she withdrew the punishment in the dungeon and simply imprisoned Fang Ling.Did Fang Ling take a risk to reveal something to Su Li at that time?Hua Yan pondered for a moment, and her attention was soon attracted by Mei Ruohan's broken spell, "So you can tell those secrets now? Who is the Many-faced Witch?"Mei Ruohan closed her eyes and sighed, "I don't know who she's playing. She is good-looking and young. She likes to wear a faint yellow imperial costume. Sometimes she stands in a pure white palace, sometimes she is in a luxurious golden hall, and sometimes old women in grey robes walk around her, looking like elders...""Yin Lin!"Qu Qingning interrupted Mei Ruohan's description with an astonished look, "She's the Head of Huangxing Hall, Yin Lin! In this c
Qu Liancheng kept a straight face but was appalled inside. His cultivation was superior to Qu Qingning's. However, was he seen through by this junior?Was "Qiyu Evil Martial Art" really so powerful?Thinking of this, Qu Liancheng was suddenly stunned. He unleashed his divine awareness, only to find that Qu Qingning's holy method had advanced at a terrifying speed and even his cultivation had secretly soared to the late stage to be in nature's test!In less than a month, Qu Qingning had skipped four realms of the holy method in a row. Did he directly skip one big realm and three small realms?He was only a step away from being a Junior Emperor!What was more, if Qu Liancheng hadn't come here on a sudden whim today, the Holy Boy of the Ankui Valley would probably complete "Qiyu Evil Martial Art" within a few months and rise to become the elder of the Ankui Valley.Qu Liancheng thought it was very ridi
In the wild wind, Fang Huaji's withered face was as calm as still water and his white hair was fluttering behind.He was waiting for the blood-red veins to spread throughout the Qingshui Circle.No matter who tried to stop him at this stage, he wouldn't hold his hand."Senior."With hair disheveled, Bai Su knelt beside Fang Huaji and was in a state of utter disarray. He looked up at Fang Huaji, and starlight welled up in his eyes."Do you know I've divined? Do you know... What had I seen after the war started?""What is it?"Fang Huaji seemed to be in a good mood and even asked Bai Su with an obscure smile on his face, "Will I win or lose?"Bai Su's eyes turned grave, "The Tianhe Sect will be destroyed!""Oh."Fang Huaji nodded indifferently and turned to Bai Su, who looked serious, continuing, "So what? I wonder if I win... or lose? Didn’t you see
Just as the Ni Sect assembled 27 holy sects to head for the Tianhe Sect, the world of the Chuangxing Path had passed several days.Su Li gradually figured out the daily routine of her adoptive mother and Duan Hongchen's childhood. The Jin family was rich, but this small courtyard seemed to have been forgotten by them, and Duan Hongchen had lived the life of a poor mortal.Today was the day she made her regular trip to the market to barter the extra vegetables for money, which was also her only free day every month.Su Li's adoptive mother didn't seem to be worried about her getting lost and always let her go alone every time. Su Li guessed that her adoptive mother might take this opportunity to observe her, so she didn't intend to show any abnormality.The Jin family seemed to be the top family in Fanglong City and had its mansion occupied a prime location. Not long after leaving the Jin's, Su Li saw the market archway from
When Hua Yan left the hall, Bai Su also stood up and left to make preparations.The grand elders of 27 sects looked at each other in silence for a moment and then closed their eyes for rest. Because attacking the Fate Palace was the most important thing now, they would rather wait here for the result than leave.In the secret room, the divination items Bai Su requested were soon ready.Hua Yan stood aside, quietly watching as Bai Su was burning incense with a devout look. After finishing that, Bai Su stood up, and Hua Yan finally couldn't help but speak."Does divination have an effect on you?"Bai Su paused and soon looked up with a smile, "Divination is to calculate nature's mystery. It is a great disrespect. Even a mortal's birth chart will be damaged by calculation, let alone I am calculating the cultivation circle. But whether it has any effect or not is of little significance to me at the moment."
