Three days later, when Su Li ended the practice in isolation, Hua Yan immediately came to find her.
“The sects that are easy to control have all been conquered. The remaining sects are interconnected, and their old ancestors have close tie with each other. If we cope with one sect, the others will unite to attack. It is not easy to handle.”
Su Li thought for a moment, and stretched out her hand, “Is there a diagram of the relationship of all sects?”
Hua Yan smiled proudly, “Of course, otherwise the network of relationships I established would be in vain.”
Saying that, she wiped the universe ring to take out a jade slip and handed it to Su Li. Su Li took a look with divine awareness, and completely understood the relationships of the twenty-five sects.
Seeing Su Li was lost in thought, Hua Yan waited quietly without disturbing her.
After a short while, Su Li frowned suddenly, and showed an expression of int
Seeing Wen Hun ran away, Su Li didn’t follow him. She just picked up and opened the scroll Wen Hun read just now. It turned out to be Strange Stories Essay, which had nothing to do with cultivation.“Wen Hun and He Jiu are good to me, and the disciples are also kind. But I always feel that this Sect...lacks something.”Su Li opened a page of the Essay and saw a scratchy illustration, which was a barren mountain with a thatched cottage standing alone.“Is it vitality?”Su Li read the Essay thoughtfully and carefully.The Essay was composed of multiple stories, each of which was quite horrifying. The first story was about the thatched cottage.A scholar went to the capital city to have an exam and passed through the barren mountain. After he entered the mountain, it rained heavily, and he had nowhere to stay. Suddenly, he saw the light in the deep mountain. Therefore, regardless of the muddy road, he ran to
“Have a meal?”Su Li was stunned, and asked in a puzzled voice, “As practitioners, we don’t live by eating food anymore after our foundations are built. If there are delicacies, it’s okay to taste them. Why do we have to maintain to have three meals...”Wen Hun chuckled, “You are right. Although this piece of meat is not a delicacy, its effect is very special. The disciples who stay in the Sect are largely because of this piece of meat.”“I see. What’s the effect of this piece of meat?”Su Li asked immediately. Wen Hun shook his head, “It is a big secret of the Sect. It won’t work if I speak it out. After you eat it and know its effect, don’t tell others. Otherwise.... bad things will happen.”Su Li should have continued to ask what the bad things were, but she was stopped by Wen Hun’s gaze.After a while, Wen Hun left the yard. He also had to maintain his own cultivation, and could not watch Su Li all the
“Senior Fellow Apprentice...”“Do not talk!”Wen Hun tightly clenched Su Li’s hands and the sweat broke out on his forehead. With gray surging in his eyes, he saw the door of the hall covered by the black fog, and sprang out.He could have got to the hall in few steps. But all of a sudden, he was pulled far away from it. It seemed to be extremely remote.“Junior Sister Apprentice, keep quiet. We will be safe when we enter the hall!”Wen Hun subconsciously transmitted the sound, while the sound spread in the air. He froze for a while, and felt the soft and warm hand held by him became cold and slithery immediately.At this moment, Wen Hun’s expression changed drastically. He shook off the thing in his hand. A long and thin snake was thrown out a long way, and then it whinnied to bite towards Wen Hun resentfully.Crack!The gray gleam of a sword passed from the snake’s head to the t
“Although I join the Sect for a short time, fortunately, Master always takes me with him. He doesn’t tell me many things, but I can guess something with what I saw and heard in the Sect.”After speaking out “Immortal of Ghost”, Wen Hun seemed to free from the shackles in his heart. On the way back to residents, he told Su Li all he speculated.“Immortal Cultivation Tactics of the Sect includes two chapters. One is Human Chapter and the other is Ghost Chapter. A long time ago, the Sect was divided into two factions of human and ghost. Master didn’t tell a lie in the square half a month ago. The inherited Immortal Cultivation Tactics indeed lost, and only the first three realms remained. But the lost part is just the Human Chapter. The Ghost Chapter is intact!”Upon hearing this, Su Li stretched out her hand and lit up a touch of spiritual light in the void.Wen Hun was a little uncomfortable when he sensed the spiritual light, thoug
“I...I...”The oil lamp kept struggling to escape from Su Li. However, he not only didn’t free itself, but also sensed that Su Li grabbed him more tightly. The poor oil lamp couldn’t bear the load and made a painful voice.The gray-clothed old servant was panicky. If the oil lamp was broken, he would also die. His life was at stake, so he cast the rule of the book pavilion to the winds immediately.“Spare me! Please! I remember! The information is not exchanged between the second floor and the first floor. You can go to the second floor, in which many ferocious ghosts in red exist. They all have lived for many years!”Upon hearing this, Su Li let go of the oil lamp and threw it into the Cang Lei’s Cave.“If you tell a lie, I will crush you to make medicine.”The gray-clothed old servant looked at the Cave and listened to Su Li. He finally known what a powerful person he encountered. So, he could just sigh
“Dead?”The young but experienced Wen Hun was totally shocked and goggled at it. Perhaps the respect of stone lions gave him great courage. Finally, he asked what he always wanted to know, “You ghosts will also die?”“Ghosts are not included in the Five Elements and won’t be reincarnated, though, they will die. Just like us, weak ghosts, if we are not protected by strong backers, we will be swallowed by more powerful ghosts soon after we have consciousness.”Wen Hun was surprised, and he continued to ask, “What kind of ghosts can be considered as backers?”“They must be red-clothed seniors!”“But you just said that the red-clothed seniors were all dead.”“It should be a ghost who was stronger than the red-clothed seniors. And even those seniors can only be reduced to its food...”As saying, the stone lion glanced at Su Li secretly. Since Su Li had no reaction, he sighed with relief.
No one could give Su Li an answer to her question.She didn’t obsess about it and continued to ask, “What is yin-gathering site for?”With her head tilted, Hong Baizhu recalled and said while pointing outside the door, “I raised them, and protected... I ate their yinqi.”Su Li nodded and said in a low voice, “So in that age, the Human Clan and you were interdependent and served as food for each other?”“Age?”With confusion in her eyes, Hong Baizhu couldn’t understand many words that Su Li mentioned. But she instinctively felt the mighty woman in front of her was very disgusted with “eating people”.So, she continued, “Those...fragile people, as long as they were alive, they would have yinqi. I...didn’t eat them.”Su Li smiled slightly. The little girl was surprised with Su Li’s gentle smile.“I am not disgusted with eating people, as long as you don’t eat innocent people. The pra
Wen Hun stood beside Su Li, and the gray sword appeared in his hand somehow. He stared at “He Jiu” coldly.“He Jiu” was shocked, like a robot getting stuck suddenly. Then his eyes were like marbles rolled at random, and the whole face began to shiver. Pieces of human skin were shaken off like scraps. Then layers of rotten flesh inside revealed.“Retch...”Wen Hun saw such a disgusting ghost for the first time. He couldn’t help retching, and almost vomited the breakfast.But at this moment, the clear voice of the junior sister apprentice reached his ear, “Senior Fellow Apprentice, step back.”As soon as he took a step back subconsciously, a sickle full of spikes skimmed over his nose. He was startled to break out in a cold sweat.If he didn’t step back, half of face would be cut off definitely.But when he was still in a state of shock, the rotten flesh suddenly swelled to split the clothes and
