Chapter 10: Sect Competition (Part 4) The era of the Wu Clan has passed...
The Nightmare Mother's body fell to the ground, but it did not dissipate like other nightmare beasts. The purple-blue outer shell seemed to fade away, gradually revealing its true appearance.
She was a pale-skinned woman wearing clothes embroidered with intricate black patterns. Chi Wanyin went forward and confirmed that she was completely dead.
Song Qingtang looked at the people on the ground with a gloomy expression, "This is the Wu clan."
When she had previously inquired about the whereabouts of the Wu Clan, she had naturally read books and portraits about them. The legendary Wu Clan was powerful and mysterious, but to avoid the world, they had already lived in seclusion.
Chi Wanyin was puzzled, "Is the Nightmare Mother who hatched the Nightmare Beasts transformed from the corpse of a witch?"
The witch clan is an extremely powerful being. If they were to fight against a human, they could almost defeat ten of them. However, the witch clan is not omnipotent and can be killed.
The body of the witch woman soon disappeared. Chi Wanyin knew that this was because it was an illusion. In reality, the witches would not die so easily.
Song Qingtang looked at the place where the Wu clan had just lain. Her face couldn't tell what she was thinking. After a moment, she took Chi Wanyin's hand and said, "The Nightmare Mother is dead. The illusion will naturally be broken. Let's go."
Chi Wanyin nodded obediently. After all, she did not listen to Song Qingtang's advice and almost died at the hands of the Nightmare Mother.
Song Qingtang held her hand. There was still some time before the illusion collapsed. The two came out of the dark room. The music and singing were still going on in Mingyue Tower. Song Qingtang tapped his toes and easily took Chi Wanyin to the roof of Mingyue Tower.
"Sorry, senior sister." Chi Wanyin whispered as she was led by her.
Song Qingtang shook his head and said seriously, "Junior sister shouldn't apologize to me. I just hope that in the future, you can be more considerate of yourself."
Chi Wanyin was slightly startled when she heard this, "Yes, Senior Sister, I understand."
Then, a brilliant firework exploded before their eyes, followed by a large shower of fireworks rising into the sky, illuminating their faces. Naturally, Yan Tianzong couldn't see such a scene. Song Qingtang looked at his junior sister's profile and said, "Let's finish watching this fireworks display before the illusion disappears."
When the bright lights in the sky disappeared, the illusion created by the mirage also collapsed.
Chi Wanyin is no longer "Ye Zhaotang" and Song Qingtang is no longer "Ye Yihe".
The first person to appear before the two was naturally Liu Qianhe, who had been waiting for a long time. Liu Qianhe looked them up and down, "How are you? Are you injured?"
As long as the two nodded, Chi Wanyin had no doubt that Liu Qianhe would immediately drag her and her senior sister to the medicine house to heal their injuries.
Chi Wanyin smiled and said, "No, but thank you very much, Senior Sister Liu."
When Liu Qianhe saw the little junior sister with a sweet smile on her face, she felt that she was extremely cute. She also saw Song Qingtang standing beside her with an indifferent expression as if he was distracted.
Liu Qianhe waved in front of her, but heard Song Qingtang say: "Send Junior Sister back first, I have something to report to Master."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qianhe immediately curled his lips and said, "Alright, got it. I'll take Junior Sister Wanyin to Chuyun Peak for some fun. You go and do your own thing."
Song Qingtang left in such a hurry on his sword that Liu Qianhe felt puzzled. However, she knew that they had known each other for many years. If it was not an extremely urgent matter, Song Qingtang would not hide it from her and would just wait for her to come back.
Liu Qianhe thought as she summoned the Cloud Shuttle. Her magical golden needle wasn't suitable for carrying people, but luckily she still had the Cloud Shuttle. Liu Qianhe stood on it and said, "Junior Sister Wanyin, do you want to go to Chuyun Peak with me?"
Chi Wanyin also summoned the peach wood sword. The last time she went to Chuyun Peak was when she had something to do with Liu Qianhe. She also wanted to see the source of most of the herbs in the Yantian Sect.
"Of course I am willing, but I would also like to ask Senior Sister Liu for a few spiritual herbs." Chi Wanyin nodded while standing on the peach wood sword.
Liu Qianhe smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? Okay, let's go."
Both of them headed towards Chuyun Peak, but Liu Qianhe was very surprised that Chi Wanyin was only in the foundation-building stage, but she was very skilled in the sword-wielding technique.
On second thought, maybe Master Huaiyu accepted her as his disciple because he saw her talent.
When the two of them set foot on Chuyun Peak, they could see large tracts of spiritual fields and medical practitioners and alchemists busy in them, but Chi Wanyin also saw a familiar figure.
She walked to a nearby spiritual field, and Xu Yunting, who was busy there, naturally noticed her. Xu Yunting wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You're back?" His face was full of joy.
Chi Wanyin naturally told her about the sect competition, but Xu Yunting had not yet established his foundation, so he naturally could not enter the mirage realm of the competition. However, since he met Chi Wanyin, with her guidance, Xu Yunting's cultivation speed was not so slow.
Before Chi Wanyin could reply, she heard Liu Qianhe say, "So you two are old acquaintances. Junior Sister Xu has been helping out at the Spiritual Field recently and has been very diligent."
Xu Yunting was a thin-skinned man, and his face flushed red when she praised him. "Senior Sister Liu, you're too kind. I'm just helping with some chores. Besides, I have spirit stones to earn, so it's not a loss."
Chi Wanyin naturally knew that Xu Yunting had been devoted to cultivation just like herself in her previous life. She had also advised him to go out for a walk, and now it seemed that he must have listened to her words.
"Okay, let's stop standing here and talking. Let's go to my yard and reminisce about the past." Liu Qianhe said.
The courtyard where Liu Qianhe lives is planted with spiritual plants and herbs that are more precious than those outside. After all, she is also the first disciple of Elder Ye of Chuyun Peak. Elder Ye has a close relationship with Master Huaiyu, so naturally the relationship between their disciples will not be bad.
Xu Yunting had naturally never seen so many precious spiritual plants, so he had to take a few more glances. On the contrary, Chi Wanyin did not look away. She had already seen Ruomu, so no matter how precious these spiritual plants were, they were useless to her.
The three of them sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, sipping tea. Liu Qianhe smiled brightly, "Junior Sister Wanyin, aren't you looking for some spiritual herbs? Is there anything in my courtyard that you'd like to see?"
Chi Wanyin casually asked for a few things. The effects of these things were either to cleanse the bones and marrow or to improve cultivation. Liu Qianhe knew that these spiritual herbs were probably not asked for her own sake.
However, Liu Qianhe still gave it. After thinking about it, he decided to leave some space for the two young men to talk, so Liu Qianhe found an excuse to go out and see the spiritual field. Only Chi Wanyin and Xu Yunting were left in the yard.
Chi Wanyin wasn't a talkative person. She placed all the spiritual herbs Liu Qianhe had given her on the table before she slowly said, "Use these spiritual herbs. They can cleanse your bones and marrow and improve your cultivation."
Xu Yunting knew that Chi Wanyin had noticed that she was a little disappointed that she couldn't participate in the sect competition, so she comforted her in this way.
"Thank you." Xu Yunting's eyes were slightly red. Since she joined the Yantian Sect, the sect's rules were very strict. Although she had not encountered any difficulties, the world of cultivation still believed that the strong were respected. Only Chi Wanyin was willing to make friends with her.
Chi Wanyin said calmly, "Why bother thanking me? It would be better to cultivate and establish your foundation as soon as possible."
Xu Yunting didn't cry after all. "Wanyin, before you, only my sister treated me well."
However, since she left home and came to Yantian Sect, her memory of her sister has become increasingly vague.
Chi Wanyin didn't think much of it, but Liu Qianhe had already returned from visiting the spiritual fields. Seeing Xu Yunting's eyes reddened, he didn't seem to be suspicious. He just said to Chi Wanyin, "Junior Sister Wanyin, Master just sent me a message saying he wants to see you."
Ye Tinghe, the elder of Chuyun Peak, is almost the disciple of Yantian Sect's medical practitioners. However, Chi Wanyin had only seen him on the day of his apprenticeship in her previous life.
If Liu Qianhe, who was chasing her, had not been the disciple of this elder, she would almost have forgotten everything about this elder.
"You stay here first." Chi Wanyin said this to Xu Yunting. Xu Yunting nodded, and then Chi Wanyin followed Liu Qianhe out of the courtyard.
Elder Ye's residence was not far from Liu Qianhe's courtyard. The two of them arrived at the door very quickly without flying swords. As soon as they entered, the fragrance of lotus hit their noses. Under the arch bridge, there were patches of lotus flowers, and white jade-like lotus flowers were hidden among them.
Ye Tinghe was standing on the arch bridge with his hands behind his back, as if enjoying the scenery.
"Master, disciple has brought the person here." Liu Qianhe replied softly. In front of this elder, she no longer had a playful look on her face, but instead had a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Elder Ye looked up and said with a faint smile, "You go out first. Junior-nephew Wan Yin and I have something to talk about alone."
Liu Qianhe naturally followed his master's orders and left. Only Chi Wanyin and Ye Tinghe were left here. The wind carried the lotus fragrance. Ye Tinghe's eyes were fixed on the flowers again. "Nephew, I believe you have already understood it in the illusion."
Chi Wanyin was a little nervous. After all, she sensed that Ye Tinghe's strength was not as harmless as she appeared to be. Otherwise, how could she have taken the position of an elder of one of the peaks of Yantian Sect?
"Elder Ye, I don't understand." Chi Wanyin lowered his eyes and said slowly.
"You've seen the Nightmare Beast." Ye Tinghe said with conviction, "Most people don't care about this kind of monster, but after all, I have half witch blood in me, so I feel a little uneasy about it."
Chi Wanyin was startled, but she continued slowly, "This half of my bloodline is a blessing and a curse for me."
However, Ye Tinghe stopped talking halfway and just looked at Chi Wanyin. "No matter what, the era of the Wu Clan is over. So, I would like you to go to the Wu Clan's secluded place and investigate who used the Wu Clan's corpses to refine the Nightmare Beast. Then I will personally deal with them."
Chi Wanyin thought back to her previous life. At that time, she did not get a very good ranking in the sect competition because of her recklessness. The Nightmare Mother must have been killed by Song Qingtang alone, so naturally she had no way of knowing the secret. Later, Song Qingtang, who returned from the witch clan's secluded place, made great progress in his cultivation. Naturally, she was very jealous at that time.
Now the story seems to be changing quietly, as if there is an invisible force behind the scenes that lets her know these secrets, but why is this?
Chi Wanyin didn't understand, but going to the Wu Clan's territory was what she wanted to do, so she nodded and agreed, "I will go, please rest assured, Elder Ye."
After finishing the business, Ye Tinghe returned to her usual self, a carefree smile on her lips. Her arm, as soft as a lotus root, handed over an object. It was a piece of exquisite jade, carved into the shape of some kind of fruit. "Take it. This thing will be useful."
