The second senior sister of the Tianmen Sect, Ye Li, died.
On that very day, the entire sect ignored her pleas for help. They were celebrating the fact that the mortal girl Su Ying'er, wh...
Chapter 154 Blood Test Reveals Ye Li's Identity
Seeing Su Ying'er's helpless tears, Lu Ziting subconsciously raised his hand to wipe them away, but before he could touch her cheek, he thought of something and finally lowered his hand.
"I still need to recover, you should go."
After saying that, Lu Ziting turned his back to her and didn't look at her again.
Su Ying'er cried for a long time without seeing him change his mind, so she could only say in a wronged, tearful voice, "Ying'er knows that Senior Brother doesn't want to hear anything I say right now, so Ying'er will go out first. Senior Brother, you must take good care of your injuries and not hurt yourself for my sake. I will explain to Senior Brother when you are feeling better..."
Lu Ziting did not respond until he heard the door behind him close, at which point he slowly turned around.
He picked up the sword from the ground, his eyes reddening.
"Ah Li, I mistook a fish eye for a pearl. Come back. This time, I will definitely be devoted to you."
“Ah Li…”
At this moment, Lu Ziting seemed to finally feel the sadness of loss.
Clearly, Ah Li is such a good woman.
She is strong and independent, and never holds him back.
In every trial, they fought side by side.
Most importantly, she would never abandon him like Su Ying'er did.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
He took out the woman's items from his storage pouch.
Since Su Ying'er isn't as innocent as he imagined, could it be that he's the one behind all this?
Realizing that he might have been misunderstanding Ah Li all along, Lu Ziting's eyes gradually hardened.
When he gets back this time, he's determined to find out what kind of conspiracy is hidden here!

Ye Li returned to her room late at night after retrieving the animal fur. Mu Chen and Mu Xi, who shared the room with her, were already fast asleep.
After experiencing these past few days of thrills, lying in bed now, Ye Li felt as if she had been through another world.
She pondered carefully everything she had seen upon entering the mirage in the desert; they seemed unrelated, yet subtly connected.
The room she dreamed of countless times...
Zhao Yaoguang's last words...
But no matter where her thoughts wandered, they always returned to the words that Shaluoru had said to her before she died.
Xie Sixing has been using her all along...
Ye Li took out the Lover's Mirror from her bosom... no, it should be the Soul-Guiding Mirror.
Her fingertips glide across the mirror, reflecting her complex emotions.
Should she believe Xie Sixing or Shaluo Ru...?
Just as Ye Li was pondering, a knock sounded on the door.
"who?"
"It's me, Chu Wei."
Chu Wei? What is he doing here so late?
Ye Li put away the Soul-Guiding Mirror and stood at the door without opening it immediately. She asked in a probing tone, "Are you looking for Mu Chen and Mu Xi? They're already asleep."
"I'm looking for you."
-
Ye Li sat in Chu Wei's room, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
After Chu Wei called her over, he went out. She didn't know whether to stay or leave, so she could only bite the bullet and wait for him.
Judging from Chu Wei's reactions over the past two days, she felt that he knew something, but if he really did, why didn't he react at all?
Ye Li was completely baffled. Just as she was thinking about it, footsteps approached from afar.
Chu Wei returned, carrying something in his hands.
A few small dishes and a large jar of wine.
Remembering how she had tricked Chu Wei into revealing information while he was drunk, Ye Li felt inexplicably guilty and coughed lightly, "Is Sect Leader Chu hungry?"
Chu Wei answered irrelevantly, placing the wine cup in front of her and filling it to the brim. "This is Master's favorite apricot blossom wine. Every time we went down the mountain before, she would hug the wine jar and drink until she was completely drunk, and she would even force me to drink with her."
The aroma of wine filled the air. Ye Li didn't know why he brought this up, so she could only go along with him and say, "Your master is not particular about trivial matters, which is not like a cultivator."
"Um."
Chu Wei poured himself a drink, put down the wine jar, and smiled. "She often said, what's so great about becoming an immortal? Drinking this apricot blossom wine makes you happier than an immortal."
As he spoke, he raised his glass and drank another cup of wine.
In terms of both rank and status within the sect, Sect Master Chu was a senior. Ye Li felt embarrassed not to drink, so she took a symbolic sip.
Chu Wei didn't care and poured himself a drink. "She doesn't care about details in her actions, and that applies to her cultivation as well. She not only cultivates swordsmanship, but also array formations and weapon crafting, and she is extraordinary in every one of them."
Ye Li didn't know what to say, but fortunately Chu Wei didn't need her to play the straight man.
He drank another cup. "My master made a special array to gather spiritual energy to help her cultivate, and she also made a magic tool that can print talismans in batches to help her practice talismans. Among them, there is a jade seal that she made to destroy other people's arrays."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li, who had been drowsy, instantly perked up and had a vague premonition in her heart.
She looked up and, sure enough, Chu Wei was looking at her. He said slowly, "This kind of seal is called the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Seal."
Ye Li's heart tightened, but she didn't show it on her face. "So it was your magic artifact that saved me. I am extremely grateful."
"This Zhou Tian Xing Dou Seal was made based on Master's Star Shift Technique. Under heaven, only two people can use it, and one of them is me."
Chu Wei said, emphasizing each word, "The other one is my master."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li felt a deep sense of utter despair.
No wonder Chu Wei acted strangely after handing the jade seal to her. It turns out he wasn't worried that the seal wouldn't be able to break the formation, but rather he was seeing if she could control it.
He was testing her.
It must have been because she accidentally repaired the sword that day that Chu Wei began to suspect her.
However, before figuring out the existence of the Wuqi Clan puppets in the dangerous room and whether he was related to the Ghost Face, Ye Li did not want to expose herself easily, so she chose to play dumb.
"Is that so? Perhaps my master in heaven helped me out."
Chu Wei seemed to have anticipated her sophistry.
He didn't expose him, but instead took out the repaired sword from his storage pouch.
"This sword is called Joy, a top-grade spiritual sword. It is my master's sword, and only she can wield it."
Chu Wei pushed Ye Li towards him, "You give it a try."
Ye Li felt a chill run down her spine. "This is your master's sword. As an outer disciple, I dare not disrespect it."
She was determined not to move, but Chu Wei was not so easily fooled. He said in a deep voice, "If you don't try, I will report to the Grand Elder that you, as a disciple of the Tianmen Sect, are practicing unorthodox techniques that involve the separation of the soul from the body."
Ye Li felt a chill run down his spine; he had seen it after all.
Although Chu Wei did not hear anything about Xie Sixing, he did see her soul leave her body and kill Shaluoru.
If the entire Tianmen Sect were to find out about this, she would most likely be killed as an evil spirit.
Seeing that Ye Li remained motionless, Chu Wei suddenly grabbed her wrist. "Excuse me."
After saying that, he actually cut her finger.
"you!"
Realizing what he was about to do, Ye Li tried to pull her hand back, but it was too late.
A swordsman's spirit sword can recognize its master's aura, including blood.
When the master's blood falls on the sword, the blade will emit an unusual light, which is immediately apparent.
In the struggle, a drop of blood fell onto the sword.
Chu Wei and Ye Li both looked at Xi Le, especially Chu Wei, whose body tensed up and whose breathing became a little erratic.
