Chapter 27 Yuan Ce's Retribution is Coming

Sun Yun's unusual excitement immediately alerted Wen Yao, who felt that he must know something.

He immediately pressed, "A cave? What cave?"

"No, no, no, there's no hole, no, there's nothing there!"

No matter how Wen Yao questioned him, Sun Yun remained terrified. When pressed, he even burrowed under the covers, trembling all over.

Helpless, Wen Yao had no choice but to leave first.

Before leaving, he put down a bottle of calming pills. "Brother Sun, if you want to talk, come find me anytime. I will do my best to help you with any difficulties you may have."

The door closed, and Sun Yuncai cautiously poked his head out.

He was so afraid because he not only saw who had hurt Bai Xiaosheng, but also saw someone he shouldn't have seen.

It turned out that after Sun Yun escaped that day, he found that Bai Xiaosheng and Su Ying'er had not come out. Fearing that he would encounter danger and no one would protect him, he turned back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went down, I saw Su Ying'er seriously injuring Bai Xiaosheng, and there was an extremely strange person next to her.

The man wore a demon mask and a black robe, exuding a sinister and terrifying aura of death, which filled him with immense fear.

Not only that, he also heard Su Ying'er call that person "Lord".

He completely abandoned the idea of ​​telling anyone. If even a close disciple like Bai Xiaosheng couldn't escape death, how could an outer disciple like him possibly fight against them?

Moreover, Su Ying'er is the darling of the Lotus Sect. How could they believe his one-sided story if he just spoke without evidence?

So he's been pretending to be sick these past few days, and he doesn't dare go out at all, for fear of running into Su Ying'er and being silenced by her.

Even so, he was still so frightened that he couldn't sleep at night.

Sun Yun picked up the calming pill left by Wen Yao with trembling hands.

If he tells the truth, will Wen Yao believe him?

-

There is no distinction between day and night in the Chaos Realm, and seven days have passed without Ye Li noticing.

She cultivated tirelessly for seven days and finally broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

When I opened my eyes, I heard intermittent applause.

"Breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining in seven days, I didn't expect you to be such a genius."

genius?

These are the words Ye Li has heard since she was a child. She is not only a top-grade spiritual root, but also a top-grade spiritual root in both earth and fire.

Because she was a genius, Master Qingyu had extremely high standards for her.

Whenever she made a mistake, Master Qingyu would say in that condescending tone, "It's a waste to give someone like you such talent."

"Such a breakthrough speed is a disgrace to the Lotus Sect."

"You think you can be arrogant just because you've reached the late Nascent Soul stage? Anyone with your talent could reach that level."

"You're just lucky."

"..."

Ye Li was filled with trepidation and could only keep cultivating and moving forward.

This proves that she is really trying.

At this moment, when Ye Li heard Xie Sixing praise her as a genius, she felt no joy whatsoever. Instead, she asked him a question.

"Is soul cultivation related to my spiritual roots from my previous life?"

She didn't look at Xie Sixing when she asked the question; instead, she stared intently at the ground.

She wondered if she deserved the title of "genius" today, or if it was simply a matter of "good fortune."

Xie Sixing glanced at her meticulous sitting posture, as if he had guessed something, and smiled, "Didn't I already say that the moment you entered the Soul Cultivation stage, everything about your physical body would have nothing to do with you anymore?"

He said, half-seriously, "Ye Li, you are indeed a genius."

At that moment, the burden that had weighed on Ye Li's heart for decades finally came to an end.

The sudden feeling of relaxation made every pore on her body open up.

At the same time, an orange light flashed between her brows, a sign that she was about to enter the Foundation Establishment stage.

She immediately sat cross-legged. As long as she broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, she wouldn't die!

Ye Li was on high alert, but just as she was drawing spiritual energy into her body, the spiritual power dissipated again.

She opened her eyes, somewhat confused.

"You're in too much of a hurry."

Xie Sixing switched the leg that was crossed over. "Soul cultivation is all about doing whatever you want. The more serious you are, the harder it is to grasp its mysteries."

Having lived for over twenty years, Ye Li had never heard of this kind of cultivation method. All the major sects taught that cultivation required meticulousness and could not be neglected in the slightest.

Doing whatever you want? Is that reliable?

She was skeptical. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, I never lie."

Ye Li's face remained indifferent, clearly indicating her disbelief.

Xie Sixing, who always slouched without any backbone, could only sit up and try to appear more serious.

"Think about it, if a person dies and still can't do whatever they want, then what's the point of dying? Soul cultivation requires you to let go of all your obsessions. As long as you don't want anything, you will have everything."

Ye Li frowned. She felt that Xie Sixing was not lying, but she had followed the rules for more than 20 years and could not understand the realm Xie Sixing was talking about for the time being, so she could only remember it for now.

Just as she entered a meditative state again, talismans suddenly appeared on her body, and they were even more aggressive than before!

Xie Sixing watched the show with great interest, "It seems your Soul-Devouring Curse has flared up again. If you can't hold on, beg me, and I can help you."

Ye Li completely ignored him, making a hand seal with her left hand and forming a mudra with her right.

"The Supreme Star, ever adaptable. Its three souls are eternal, its spirit undiminished."

"break!"

With a shout, the Soul-Devouring Curse on her body disappeared.

After the brief surprise, Xie Sixing's gaze held a hint of appreciation. "You didn't fix your soul, but instead broke the curse directly."

Ye Li stopped, "Instead of being passive, it's better to confront it head-on."

Xie Sixing nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad."

Ye Li looked out the window. Seven days had passed. If she remembered correctly, today was Yuan Ce's birthday.

She had been eagerly anticipating this day. She had planned it all out; she would tell Yuan Ce on this day why she had always been so strict with him.

Actually, she didn't want to be so strict with him, but he was naturally rebellious, and she had to race against time.

Fortunately, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the rebellious bone within him will no longer affect him; instead, it will become a sword bone, aiding his cultivation.

She prepared a fine sword as a birthday gift for him.

But now...

Ye Li's eyes turned cold. There was no need to give away that sword anymore, because after today, Yuan Ce would become a cripple with no hope of cultivation.

How could she not be there at such a moment?

-

Lotus Gate

Su Ying'er sent invitations to both the inner and outer sects, and ten tables were set up with wine, fruits, and vegetables.

At the very center table, Yuan Ce, dressed in new clothes, looked smug and pleased with himself.

"Come on, everyone, raise your glasses! Today is my birthday, let's drink until we drop!"

After everyone sat down, some people looked around.

"Ye Li hasn't returned yet?"

"How dare she come back? I heard that she injured Senior Brother Bai and Junior Sister Ying'er and fled to escape punishment. I don't know which mountain valley she's hiding in now."

As Ye Li's name echoed in his ears, Yuan Ce slammed his hand on the table. "Today is my birthday, and no one is allowed to mention that old hag and spoil my fun! If she hadn't packed her bags and left, we wouldn't be so happy!"

He raised his glass to Su Ying'er, "Let's toast together to my junior sister who helped me prepare my birthday banquet, and to the Lotus Sect as it is now!"

"Junior Sister! Junior Sister!"

"Lotus Gate! Lotus Gate!"

"..."

Amidst the cheers, Ye Li watched Yuan Ce, whose face was beaming with joy, from afar.

At that moment, he certainly had no idea that his life was about to be turned upside down.
