Chapter 542 Abandoning Ruthlessness (12)

"The best sunbathing spot on Yanxiu Peak is reserved for you." Song Xianning patted the spot next to her. "I'll go to Guanchen Peak to see you every day in the future. Please don't find me annoying."

"That's more like it." He Li lay down beside her, "Where is your master?"

"Brother Yu Gan came looking for us early this morning, in a hurry. It must be that something went wrong with the strange beasts suppressed at the foot of the Seventy-Two Peaks. The other uncles should have gone there as well."

He Li's eyes flashed with helplessness when he heard this, "When will you be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"I always feel like there's a hurdle I can't get over." Song Xianning sighed helplessly.

"Don't think too much. If you keep thinking about this and that and your mind is restless, how can you achieve a breakthrough?"

Song Xianning turned her head and looked at He Li's face, "Okay..."

"You didn't come to water the peach trees on the peak, and I didn't come either. So in the end, only an old man like me can water them."

"I'll water it tomorrow." It's not a good idea to hide like this all the time.

"That's right."

The next day, Song Xianning went to Guanchen Peak and was relieved when she didn't see Mo Jinwu.

She walked briskly to He Li to say hello, then went to water the peach tree and used her spiritual power to make it grow faster.

After so many years of planting, the peach tree has only grown to her waist.

After basking in the sun with He Li for a while and listening to him talk about martial arts for a while, Song Xianning prepared to leave.

Mo Jinwu landed on the top of the mountain and glanced at her.

Their eyes met, and he looked at her with that emotionless gaze. Song Xianning remembered the day when he looked at her madly with a cold face. She couldn't help but turn her face away and quickly flew out of Guanchen Peak on her sword.

After that, every time Song Xianning went to Guanchen Peak the next day, she could see Mo Jinwu, but she never dared to look at him.

Yun Fei hadn't returned for half a year. Song Xianning felt something weighing on her heart, and was extremely uneasy. She couldn't help but ask He Li, "Master, what exactly is being suppressed at the foot of the peak? It's been so long, Master and the others, and they haven't returned yet."

He Li sighed while holding his teacup. "This is a ninth-level peak beast with a foul aura left over from a hundred thousand years ago. The previous sect masters and supreme elders all perished while suppressing this beast."

"Now that the seal is loose, Yun Fei and the others will probably have to spend some time to repair it."

Song Xianning became even more worried after hearing this, "Master, can I go and take a look?"

"You can't go. If you go, the evil and foul energy will spray out and kill you. If it weren't so dangerous, your master and the elders of the sect back then wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to suppress it instead of killing it."

Half a month later, unusual movements were reported from the foot of the Seventy-two Peaks, causing the entire Lingxu Sect to shake. Song Xianning, who was practicing on Yanxiu Peak, opened her eyes and hurried down from Yanxiu Peak.

All the disciples of Lingxu Sect came out, and the air was filled with a heart-pounding smell, and a burnt and smelly smell floated in the air.

He Li coughed while asking his disciples to go downstairs to look for people. When Song Xianning arrived, she could only see the backs of Mo Jinwu and Wei Xuanchi disappearing into the big pit in the middle of the seventy-two peaks.

She flew to He Li's side, "Master, what's wrong?"

"The ferocious beast is dead, the formation is broken, and I'm afraid your master and the others are also..." He Li's voice was filled with sadness.

Song Xianning stood there in a daze, and after coming to her senses, she quickly flew towards the big pit.

When they arrived at the bottom of the pit, there was burnt ashes all around. Soon, Song Xianning found Yu Gan being carried by Cang Ji. Yu Gan's other disciples had sad faces and called out "Master" with red eyes.

A little further on was the Supreme Elder Hengyi, staring blankly with his incomplete body held by Hong Liao.

Song Xianning blinked and tears rolled down her cheeks.

She continued running forward and finally saw Yun Fei who was found by Wei Xuanchi and Mo Jinwu.

Yun Fei's eyes were still open, and her fingers were trembling slightly.

"Master!" Song Xianning knelt beside her and took her from Wei Xuanchi, her hands shaking.

Yun Fei's chest was red and her spiritual power was constantly dissipating.

Song Xianning took out various pills from her spirit ring and accidentally dropped a few while pouring them out. "Master, you take the pills, yes, take the pills..."

Yun Fei, whose face was aging rapidly, looked at her and shook his head with difficulty.

"I gave it to my uncle, but it's useless." Wei Xuanchi whispered beside him.

Song Xianning paused, hugged Yun Fei's shoulders, tears streaming down her face, "Master, don't go..."

Yun Fei held her hand and said with a slow smile, "We have solved the long-standing hidden danger in the sect. We have no regrets."

"Yan Yan, practice hard and revitalize the sect."

After their death, He Li also passed away soon, and the Lingxu Sect was left with no one in the upper echelons.

Song Xianning nodded with tears in her eyes, "Okay, Master, I will practice well. You just hold on, and I'll find another way, okay?"

Yun Feixiao looked at her, and then he died with his eyes open.

"Master! Master...don't!" Realizing that she had no breath, Song Xianning hurriedly hugged her tightly and shook her shoulders in disbelief.

He Li, who was bending over to explore Yun Fei's spiritual veins, straightened up with his hands trembling slightly and coughed even more violently.

"Master." Wei Xuanchi supported him.

"Take your uncles and aunts upstairs." He Li's voice sounded a little older.

"yes."

A day later, five new spirit tablets were erected in the ancestral temple of Lingxu Sect, and all the disciples of the sect knelt down and paid homage to them.

Song Xianning knelt in front of the ancestral hall, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Suddenly, she lost her master.

When her legs became numb and she lost feeling after kneeling, Song Xianning stood up and staggered for a moment, but quickly regained her balance.

A cold spiritual energy returned along the way before touching her.

When she saw Mo Jinwu standing next to her, Song Xianning nodded at him and returned to Yan Xiufeng.

Three days later, He Li presided over the succession ceremony of the sect leader, and Cang Ji became the new leader of Lingxu Sect.

Song Xianning went up to Guanchen Peak to see He Li every day. She saw that he walked so stiffly that she turned her head away and couldn't bear to look at him anymore.

Pushing back the tears in her eyes, Song Xianning pretended to be calm and asked, "Uncle Master, do you want to drink some wine? I'll go steal the wine that my master has hidden away."

"Go quickly! You've been thinking about that drink for a long time!" He Li waved at her.

Mo Jinwu glanced over and said nothing more.

Song Xianning went back and brought the wine she had brought from the Song family. There was one bottle left, and Yun Fei had already drunk the other bottle.

She uncorked the wine and handed the bottle to He Li, "Drink it."

He Li took the bottle and poured out three bowls of wine. He took a sip from the bottle himself and looked at Wei Xuanchi who had just arrived at Guanchen Peak. He sighed, "It's delicious! Don't be sad. I have to save some dignity for myself."

Song Xianning picked up one of the bowls and took a big sip.

The wine was spicy and choking when it entered her throat. Song Xianning asked with tears in her eyes, "Master, how can this wine be so good?"

Beside him, He Li was quietly holding the bottle of wine. The sunlight fell on him, revealing the clear smile on the corner of his mouth.

Mo Jinwu, who was sitting on the side watching them, walked forward and drank one of the remaining bowls, and ripples appeared in his usually calm black eyes.

Song Xianning put down the bowl and said with red eyes: "Mo Jinwu, my uncle has left. I will not come to Guanchen Peak in the future."

How...how come all the elders are gone?

It was obvious that before Master left that day, she smiled and told her to wait for her to come back.

Wei Xuanchi staggered over and knelt beside He Li. He held Cang Ji's old hand with trembling hands, his eyes red and he said nothing.
