"She...she knows mystical arts? This...this is impossible!" Fang Yuzhen's eyes widened suddenly, her face full of disbelief: "How could an ordinary little girl know mystical arts?"
“All those in the world who know mystical arts are from the Taiyi Sect.” Fang Yuzhen said with unease, “We heard from the disciples of the Taiyi Sect who came to preside over the Daoist Grand Competition that even the outer disciples in their Taiyi Sect do not know mystical arts. Only by mastering mystical arts can one become an inner disciple.”
Mystical arts also have different levels. Once you master the simplest one and step into the threshold, everything will fall into place naturally.
Knowing esoteric arts is extremely important in the Taiyi Sect.
Only disciples who have mastered mystical arts can enter the inner sect and learn more advanced techniques; otherwise, they can only remain outer sect disciples for life, responsible for miscellaneous tasks within the sect.
“My little apprentice Tao Zhixuan told me that this girl surnamed Ye used to be just an ordinary person. One night, she woke up and suddenly knew mystical arts. She told the people around her that she had a miraculous encounter, received guidance from an immortal, mastered some mystical arts of the Taiyi Sect, and embarked on the path of cultivation.” Feng Daozhi told Fang Yuzhen what he knew.
Ever since his little apprentice Tao Zhixuan fought against the golden eagle with Ye Xianya in Zizhu Village, the little apprentice has been very interested in the girl and secretly investigated her past.
“For an ordinary person to suddenly embark on the path of cultivation, they must have great fortune and accumulated a lot of good deeds in their past life. Otherwise… how could she possibly know mystical arts? And how could she possibly subdue that golden eagle spirit beast?”
Feng Daozhi paused slightly as he spoke: "Yuzhen, although you are not young, you have never experienced any setbacks since childhood. You do things very simply and never think too much. As your senior uncle, I have to remind you a few more words. This girl is not simple. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person like her have reached such a height today? How could her widowed mother have become the Crown Princess?"
Fang Yuzhen didn't say anything upon hearing this, but her expression was rather unpleasant.
“A person who is blessed by the heavens and has great fortune has a limitless future. Anyone who opposes her will probably only face death.” Feng Daozhi watched Fang Yuzhen grow up and of course did not want her to go to her death.
"Besides, she knows mystical arts. No matter how she learned them, she will become a disciple of the Taiyi Sect sooner or later. Perhaps... when Yu Yanzhong arrives, he will inform the sect about this and bring Ye Xianya back to the Taiyi Sect."
Feng Daozhi said earnestly, "Uncle knows that you have lost your only daughter and are heartbroken. But the dead cannot be brought back to life, and the living must continue to live. Listen to your uncle's advice and give up revenge. You are a cultivator, healthy and much younger and more powerful than ordinary people. At worst, you can have another daughter."
Fang Yuzhen's lips twitched upon hearing this.
Was Feng Daozhi trying to persuade her?
This is a complete joke on her!
"Those who cultivate the Tao should try to be more open-minded and not be too hard on themselves."
Feng Daozhi told Fang Yuzhen the news he had heard a few days ago: "I heard that Xie Peng's son from Yunxiao Palace also died at the hands of Ye Xianya. Xie Peng was quite strong, and your daughter and your closed-door disciple are also among the best female cultivators. The two of them joined forces but were no match for this little girl. Think about the reasons yourself and don't throw your lives away in vain."
As it turns out, the girl, though young, possessed formidable strength.
In a one-on-one fight, of course they couldn't beat these seniors, but the girl also had a spirit beast to help her.
Fang Yuzhen remained silent upon hearing this.
She understood all of these concepts about sealing off the road.
But she was just not willing to give up.
If she cannot avenge her daughter, then she has failed as a mother.
Feng Daozhi could tell from Fang Yuzhen's expression that his words had been in vain.
This woman still wanted to take revenge.
If that's the case, then let it be.
Feng Daozhi began to regret his actions.
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have lent Fang Yuzhen that magical artifact from his sect to help her find the murderer.
Their Xuantian Temple possesses a magical mirror called the "Xuantian Mirror." This mirror is extremely mysterious; if enough energy is input into it, one can gain access to all that one desires to know, especially one's innermost desires.
Sometimes, the deeper your obsession, the more likely you are to see the outcome.
Fang Yuzhen saw Ye Xianya inside this magical artifact and confirmed that she was the murderer who killed her daughter.
Nowadays, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce, making cultivation difficult for those in the Taoist sects. It is even more difficult for them to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It was only after he helped Fang Yuzhen that the magic weapon was activated.
Otherwise, Fang Yuzhen alone would not have been able to activate the magic weapon and see that result.
After parting ways outside the city, Fang Yuzhen returned to Biyun Temple and immediately ordered her disciples to use every means to find out Ye Xianya's whereabouts.
By evening that day, Fang Yuzhen learned that Ye Xianya would take that spirit beast to Zizhu Mountain to cultivate every day, and she immediately made a plan.
She set off in the middle of the night with her two personal disciples to ambush at the foot of Zizhu Mountain.
...
Ye Xianya had originally planned to ambush Fang Yuzhen early in the morning, but after she got up and did some calculations, she immediately changed her mind.
“Zhengzheng, Fang Yuzhen and her personal disciples went to Zizhu Mountain to ambush us last night. When we arrive, we should pretend we didn’t see them, and then strike first to catch them off guard.”
"Okay." Zhengzheng nodded quickly after hearing Ye Xianya's words. "Don't worry, sister, I'll listen to you. But... what if Qi Chengshuo falls for it? We agreed yesterday that he would ride there on horseback today. Could he have already arrived?"
"I just sent him a message, telling him to come later. Let's find a place to meet up first," Ye Xianya said softly.
The communication talisman she crafted used only ordinary materials. Although it took her a lot of effort, it was only effective within a hundred miles, unlike the Taiyi Sect's thousand-mile communication talisman.
In the Taiyi Sect, there are disciples specifically responsible for alchemy and weapon crafting.
Items like the Qiankun Bag and the Thousand-Mile Communication Talisman were all crafted by the people in the Refining Hall.
Ye Xianya was quite a polymath in her previous life, having learned many things, but compared to her cultivation speed, she was inferior in other aspects.
Due to limited materials, she can only refine communication talismans that can travel hundreds of miles.
But that's enough for them for now.
After receiving Ye Xianya's message, Qi Chengshuo stopped his horse and, after replying, hurriedly headed to the place they had agreed upon.
Before dawn, Ye Xianya met up with Qi Chengshuo, accompanied by Zhengzheng.
After a brief discussion, they went to the place where the master and his two disciples were hiding.
“I’ve calculated it carefully. When Fang Yuzhen was young, she killed her senior sister with her own hands in order to get the man she wanted and snatched him away. So... she also has blood on her hands. In addition, her soul is tainted with a lot of evil energy, which shows that she has killed quite a few people, including many innocent people.”
