Chapter 124 Re-entering Past Life Memories to Find the Truth

But when Ye Li looked over, all she saw was a soft, warm light. Before she could even see who it was, her back bent involuntarily, and she bowed and made a gesture of greeting like everyone else, her lips moving.

"Greetings, Sect Master."

Only after realizing it did I realize that this was the oppressive aura of Sect Master Ouyang.

But this kind of pressure was completely different from the forceful coercion of Qingyu Zhenren to make people bow their heads and admit their mistakes. The feeling was very strange, like a kind of natural instinct of animals. She bowed sincerely and submitted willingly.

Yu Guangzhong, dressed in a long robe as white as snow, walked by, his sleeves fluttering gently as if carrying the mountain breeze and the dew from the clouds. He seemed to be enveloped in a soft and warm halo, which was not static but slowly flowing, like the Milky Way falling from the heavens or a spiritual spring winding around a jade mountain.

The abundant spiritual energy, when passing by, makes one's mind much clearer.

After Sect Master Ouyang took his seat, he slightly raised his hand, and Ye Li immediately felt a gentle spiritual energy lift her up.

A voice as ethereal as celestial music rang out, "Please, everyone, no need for formalities."

Gentle, and filled with boundless compassion.

Ye Li subconsciously looked up, wanting to see the Sect Master Ouyang who never showed his face, but as soon as her gaze touched the halo around him, she felt a throbbing pain in her forehead.

In the halo that resembled a barrier, one could vaguely see Sect Master Ouyang with his white hair and a duster hanging from his arm.

But as she tried to see his face clearly, the throbbing pain in her temples intensified, and she saw stars before her eyes, forcing her to lower her head again.

It is said that Sect Master Ouyang is already a half-immortal, and this is indeed the case.

After everyone had taken their seats again, Sect Master Ouyang slowly said, "I summoned you all here because of a letter from Qingyu. He said that there are remnants of the Qi Clan causing trouble in the Golden Sand Illusionary Realm. Therefore, I have gathered you all here to discuss how to deal with it."

Golden Sands Fantasy Realm...

Ye Li felt that the place name was very familiar, but her thoughts were quickly diverted by Elder Ge of the Shuiyun Sect who spoke.

"Wasn't the Wuqi Clan wiped out long ago? Even the seal on the Mist Camphor Forest is still intact."

Sect Master Ouyang's voice was gentle, "Elder Ge is right, but Qingyu found this there."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black plaque floated in the center of the hall.

This is……

"Shadow Order!"

The sect leader of Kongshan Sect pointed at the floating sign, his face filled with disbelief.

Ye Li's gaze paused for a moment.

When she entered Moon White Lake before, Xie Sixing gave her a card, saying it was to confirm her identity as a member of the Wuqi Clan, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

Judging from their tense demeanor, it was clearly not that simple.

Inside the hall, Elder Ge strode forward, "It really is the Shadow Token!"

Another elder from the Green Wood Sect, who was also unaware of the situation, hesitated and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Elder Ge said solemnly, “Legend has it that the Wuqi Clan used evil magic in an attempt to defy the Heavenly Dao and fake their deaths to survive. This Shadow Token is a crucial step. As long as they have this Shadow Token, they can avoid entering the Heavenly Dao's cycle of reincarnation and be resurrected no matter how many times they die.”

Elder Aoki also realized the seriousness of the problem, "Therefore, the appearance of the Shadow Order now means that someone... is reviving the Wuqi clan!"

"I'm afraid so."

Sect Master Ouyang's voice was filled with endless compassion, "Back then, we suffered countless deaths and injuries in order to suppress the Wuqi Clan. Fortunately, our Ancestral Master was there to suppress them. If they were to return now..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but judging from the silence in the hall, by then, the world would surely be in chaos, and people would be suffering everywhere.

The elder of Kongshan Sect immediately stood up and said loudly, "Sect Master, this disciple is willing to go!"

Immediately afterwards, the other sect leaders stood up and expressed their determination, while Ye Li, who was the only one sitting, stood out conspicuously.

In an instant, everyone in the hall turned to look at her.

"disciple……"

Just as Ye Li was about to agree to go as well, Ah Jin's reminder suddenly rang in her ears.

You need to make the right choice!

Perhaps it was because the gazes of the onlookers were so noticeable, but she suddenly felt that this decision was of paramount importance.

Was going to the Golden Sands Fantasy Realm the right choice?

She tried to see things from Li Yuehua's perspective: with demons running rampant, she, as a righteous person, had no reason not to go.

So she rose and bowed, saying, "This disciple requests permission to go."

Sect Master Ouyang was extremely pleased. "With everyone like you, evil will surely not prevail over good. However, the sect cannot be without people. Elder Ge and the First Elder will stay behind to guard Tianmen Sect, so I will trouble the others to make the trip."

"Yes, Sect Master."

"..."

Ye Li looked up again, but Sect Master Ouyang was no longer there. Only a few sect leaders who were about to head to the Golden Sand Illusionary Domain were gathered together to discuss the matter.

Looking at these faces that were so unfamiliar they were almost unrecognizable, Ye Li suddenly realized something.

She was familiar with Elder Ge and the First Elder who stayed behind at the sect, but she had never seen any of the people going to the Golden Sand Illusionary Realm, including herself, at the Heavenly Gate Sect.

A terrible idea slowly took shape.

If they go this time, they might not come back!

-

Back at the Lotus Gate, Ye Li was preoccupied with worries, feeling as if an invisible hand was driving everything.

From Li Yuehua to her.

What lies hidden behind this memory...?

Just as she was trying to make sense of it all, the shadow fell.

Ye Li looked up and saw Chu Wei, who was holding a storage pouch in his hand. "Master, we can go now."

No matter how many times she heard it, Ye Li felt it was strange when Chu Wei, as an elder, called her "Master".

She paused for a moment before asking, "Where to?"

"The other sect leaders have already set off for the Golden Sands Illusionary Realm. I've already put the magic weapon you need inside."

His familiar tone suggested that he often helped Li Yuehua with these matters.

Ye Li didn't answer, her gaze sweeping over Chu Wei's face.

If her past life was indeed Li Yuehua, then Chu Wei's desire to revive his master after her death makes some sense.

If you're going to bring her back to life, why torture and kill her so cruelly?

If she were to inquire with Chu Wei as Ye Li, he probably wouldn't say anything.

But things are different now. She is Chu Wei's master, and she can question him freely.

Ye Li coughed lightly, trying her best to maintain the air of a master, "Chu Wei, do you still remember how you entered the Lotus Sect?"

If another disciple had asked their master the same question, they would have been suspicious. However, thanks to Li Yuehua's easygoing nature, Chu Wei was never surprised by any question she asked.

He didn't even look up, but squatted down and helped Ye Li tie her storage pouch. "I lost both my parents when I was young. You took me in. You said this child has a strong constitution and can take a beating. If you encounter someone you can't beat, you can leave me to clean up the mess."

Only after saying the last word did Chu Wei look up at Ye Li, "You suddenly brought this up, are you trying to make me take the blame again? Did you eat another immortal fruit, or did you ruin another elder's immortal herb?"

This "again" is very spiritual.

It's clear that Chu Wei has gotten used to cleaning up Li Yuehua's messes.

Although their relationship wasn't like that of an ordinary master and disciple, there was nothing out of line between them.

Is Chu Wei really the masked man?

Before Ye Li could ask anything more, Chu Wei had already summoned his magical artifact.

It was a magical artifact that resembled a wooden bird. After Chu Wei went up to it, he looked at Ye Li.

"Master, it's time for us to go to the Golden Sands Illusionary Realm."

Ye Li thought to herself, "Then let's go up and talk about it."

But as soon as he stepped on it, he instantly fell into an unknown space.

"Chu Wei, you?!"
