Chapter 29 Lies should not be allowed here.

Jiang Liuyan paused for a moment, frowning slightly: "Someone from Liuyun Sect? Outside the city?"

Yun Xiangwan nodded, spread his hands, and sneered, "Yes, they're waiting outside the city. They didn't intend to hide their identities and directly showed their disciple tokens, as if they were specifically letting us know."

Jiang Liuyan tapped the table lightly, but didn't answer immediately. After a moment of contemplation, she asked, "Did any of them tell me what their purpose was?"

"They said they wanted to help Wind Chaser City and see if there was anything they could do to help."

Jiang Liuyan raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered, "A weasel is paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. Do you really think no one knows what's going on?"

"Come with me and take a look." Jiang Liuyan stood up and said indifferently. She wanted to see what tricks these people were trying to play.

One day ago.

Zhao Qingxun was sitting in the yard, holding the storage ring he had once given to Ying Bu Ran, staring at it.

Now, apart from practicing, she probably just sits in the yard and stares blankly every day. Her former faith is now collapsing bit by bit, and she doesn't know what she should do.

Now, she no longer dreamed of Ying Bu Ran. After that long dream, she only occasionally saw the past when they were in love, and then she would see Ying Bu Ran's resentful eyes in the dungeon.

It seemed as if something was growing wildly in her heart, beginning to devour her sanity bit by bit.

Zhao Qingxun realized that she could no longer allow her inner demons and unknown things to grow wildly, but once she began to suppress them, she would no longer be able to see Ying Bu Ran.

And this ring... Zhao Qingxun looked at the ring and sighed again.

It had been bright for a moment before, but now there was no reaction at all. No matter what she did, it was all stagnant, as if the phenomenon she had seen before was just an illusion.

How is Ying Bu Ran doing now? What about the previous dream?

She was so vivid in the dream, as if a real Ying Bu Ran was standing in front of him.

Qi Yiwen once said that she would regret it.

Indeed, she regretted it.

Her life seemed to be a scam. The master she once respected the most only treated her as a tool from beginning to end, and her vow to fight for the world became a joke.

She should have noticed long ago that the tragic scenes in the shadows of the world, the inhumane elimination plan, and the so-called road to salvation paved with blood, these three roads finally converged at the end of lies.

Heavenly sacrifice, Heaven's wrath, from beginning to end, are just lies, lies that destroy the world for one's own selfish desires.

But she has been deceiving herself and turning a blind eye to these phenomena, naively believing that she can atone for her sins and alleviate the guilt in her heart.

You're just deceiving yourself.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhao Qingxun put the ring back on his hand. His expression turned cold again, and he looked towards the gate with a sharp gaze: "Who's outside?"

"It's me. Long time no see, Senior Sister Zhao."

Qiao Yu, a disciple of the new sect leader Qin Li. Zhao Qingxun's eyes darkened, it seemed that the visitor had bad intentions.

Qin Li was Luo Wangqing's partner. After Luo Wangqing's death, she dealt with the subsequent matters at an extremely fast speed and started to complete the things that Luo Wangqing had not finished without any difficulty.

For example, the ending of the Heavenly Sacrifice.

As Qin Li's favorite disciple, does Qiao Yu know the trick behind this?

Zhao Qingxun let Qiao Yu in and watched her every move calmly. After Qiao Yu sat down opposite her with a natural look on her face, she asked, "What are you doing here?"

Qiao Yu sighed pretentiously, propped up his chin with both hands, and said with a grin, "How cold, Senior Sister Zhao! Can't I come and see you if I have nothing to do?"

Zhao Qingxun's expression remained unchanged as he said coldly, "We are not that familiar with each other."

Qiao Yu curled his lips and raised his eyebrows to observe Zhao Qingxun's expression and eyes, his tone still nonchalant: "Oh, how boring. I do have something to ask you. The Sect Master has something to ask us two."

Did Qin Li come looking for her? Did he discover that she was investigating Tian Nu? Or did he want to continue his previous plan and use her as a pawn?

"I understand." Zhao Qingxun nodded, thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind, but none of them were expressed.

Qiao Yu is also a sharp person and he urges caution.

They soon arrived at the sect master's room. On the way, Qiao Yu tried to bring up the topic, but no matter what she said, Zhao Qingxun remained indifferent, as if he didn't hear it.

Seeing them coming, Qin Li put down the official documents and looked at them with a smile: "You are here? I am not looking for you for anything difficult, just for the matter of chasing Fengcheng."

"As you all know, Wind Chasing City is currently suffering from the wrath of heaven. We wanted to offer assistance, but they refused. Therefore, I need you to take Qiao Yu to check out the situation there."

A dark light flashed in Zhao Qingxun's eyes, but her face was flawless. Over the years, she had learned to hide and disguise herself. "If something happens, do you need my help?"

Zhao Qingxun asked tentatively, and as expected, Qin Li's expression froze for a moment as soon as he finished speaking.

Qin Li quickly returned to his previous self, smiling and saying softly, "No, unless they are willing to submit to the four major sects, don't take action. Everyone has their own destiny, so respect their own choices."

"Is there anything else you don't understand?" Qin Li looked at the two of them with a smile, but there was vigilance in his eyes.

Zhao Qingxun still had a blank expression on his face, as if he hadn't noticed the warning. He bowed and said, "No more, disciple, I understand."

I understand, but as for whether I will do it...

That's another matter.

But with Qin Li's superficial understanding of Zhao Qingxun, he obviously hadn't thought of this. He nodded with satisfaction: "I understand. Your master left too suddenly. I'm afraid there will be a lot of things that need your help from now on. The wrath of heaven has begun to appear again."

Zhao Qingxun nodded: "Disciple knows."

Qin Li glanced at Zhao Qingxun again, waved his hand and said, "Well, you can leave first. I still have something to say to Qiao Yu."

Zhao Qingxun didn't ask anything, but bowed and left. Before leaving, she saw Qiao Yu wink at her with an ambiguous smile.

After returning, Zhao Qingxun took out the Tianling Mirror and contacted Qi Yiwen and told her about this matter.

This message was sent using a special communication method between them, developed by Shen Cangwu, so there was no need to worry about being monitored.

"Heaven's wrath? Has it been six years since the last one?" Qi Yiwen wrote down this information on the other end. "It's much earlier than before, but I'm still unsure whether it's correct. After all, Wind Chasing City doesn't believe in heaven."

"I know, I guess it's fake. How's the situation with the Wanxiang Sect?"

Qi Yiwen: "My master has already gone there. The sect leader's closed disciple slipped away, saying that she wanted to prove her idea. I don't know what the result will be, but judging by the hexagram, I guess it is true."

Zhao Qingxun sneered and replied, "I understand." After briefly chatting about the follow-up plans, he turned off the call.

These people haven't told the truth yet.

"I don't know what happened to her..." When Zhao Qingxun put away the Tianling Mirror, he saw the ring on his hand again and sighed.

Ying Bu Ran should have survived, but her body was hidden by Qin Li. How did she survive?

Will I have the chance to see her again in the future?

Before Zhao Qingxun could continue thinking, there was a knock on the door. It was Qiao Yu. "Senior Sister Zhao? I'm here. How are you ready?"

Her intuition told her that Qiao Yu knew the trick, but it was still unclear whether she was Qin Li's person.

Be careful later and adapt to circumstances.

"Okay, let's go." Zhao Qingxun closed the door as soon as he left, not giving Qiao Yu a chance to observe secretly, and then he ran away. Qiao Yu saw this and had no choice but to follow.

After flying on their swords for a whole day, they finally arrived at the city gate. Wind Chasing City was now heavily guarded, and anyone who wanted to enter had to wait for the consent of the city's administrator.

Zhao Qingxun directly revealed his identity, and then stood at the city gate waiting as if nothing had happened.

"You've been looking at me all the way, what do you want to say?" Zhao Qingxun glanced at Qiao Yu with a somewhat unfriendly tone.

Qiao Yu still had a smile on his face and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, actually. I just saw that Senior Sister Zhao's ring looked very unique, so I was a little curious."

A hint of hostility flashed in Zhao Qingxun's eyes, and his words carried a warning: "It's just an ordinary storage ring."

Although it was a subtle change in expectations, Qiao Yu still caught it. He raised his eyebrows and asked with a hint of inquiry: "Really? But I think I heard..."

Before she finished her words, a sword beam cut a deep mark in the ground in front of her toes.

Zhao Qingxun sheathed his sword and said coldly, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. It won't benefit you or me."

"This is a warning. Don't try to pry into my past. I still say that we are not that familiar."

After a brief shock, Qiao Yu turned around and raised his eyebrows: "I mean, if we get familiar with each other in the future..."

Zhao Qingxun interrupted her directly: "There is no such if."

This was the scene Jiang Liuyan saw when she reached the door. She exchanged a glance with Yun Xiangwan and said calmly, "Did I interrupt your conversation?"

Zhao Qingxun simply ignored Qiao Yu and bowed, saying, "My Lord, no. May I ask what the current situation is like in the city? Is there anything we can help you with?"

Jiang Liuyan touched her chin, unsure of what Zhao Qingxun was up to. She wondered if it was her imagination, but she felt like Zhao Qingxun might be hoping she'd refuse.

Thinking about the previous investigation and what Shen Cangwu had just said, Jiang Liuyan hesitated a little, talked with Yun Xiangwan for a moment, and finally nodded.

Yun Xiangwan took a step forward, smiled, and leaned sideways, making a gesture of invitation: "If it's not too much trouble for you two, please move into the city. We really need help recently."

Zhao Qingxun felt lost for a moment, then nodded in response: "It's my responsibility."

Jiang Liuyan and Yun Xiangwan took them into the city and closed the door behind them without leaving a gap, as if to cut off their retreat.

Zhao Qingxun glanced back and clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves.

Just after entering the city, her ring reacted slightly.

You should not stay here.
