Chapter 439 Unless you kill yourself
Yu Zhiyi rode her sword at breakneck speed.
The sudden appearance of Master Lingyun was like a giant sword. She dared not take any chances and left Wanyuan City after rescuing Lin Qingxi.
As for Lin Qingxi, in order to prevent the other party from being implicated, she hid him in a relatively safe place.
Although the maps she bought from Shoushi City did not clearly mark the location of Tianji Sect, she deduced its approximate location from the intersections of several maps, and finally determined its exact location through divination.
One hour.
If she has just one hour, she can reach the Heavenly Mystery Gate.
Wanyuan City was gradually left behind until it disappeared completely.
Seeing a mountain range appear ahead, and knowing that the Heavenly Mystery Sect was likely hidden among the mountains, Yu Zhiyi's eyes flickered, and she felt a rare sense of joy.
In the mortal world, she cultivated immortality. Although she was exceptionally powerful, seemingly able to crush countless ordinary people with a flick of her finger, even the emperor had to treat her as an equal due to her strength.
She didn't feel happy, and occasionally even felt lonely.
There are many experts in the hidden realm, but because of the Gao family and the Taixu Sect, she has no interest in making friends with like-minded people.
Only the Heavenly Mystery Sect gave her a sense of belonging.
Even though she had never met anyone from her sect, she felt a mysterious sense of familiarity with them.
Seeing an invisible protective barrier looming in and out of sight, Yu Zhiyi urged her spiritual power to increase her speed.
Suddenly, her smile froze on her face.
An invisible sense of crisis crept into Yu Zhiyi's heart. She couldn't say where this sense of crisis came from, but she had a premonition that she could only get rid of the crisis by entering the Heavenly Mystery Sect as soon as possible.
She urged the flying sword on even more desperately.
boom!
An invisible pressure poured down from the sky, enveloping Yu Zhiyi. In an instant, she lost control of the flying sword and fell from the sky.
Bang!
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Yu Zhiyi struggled to her feet.
Although a Golden Core Realm expert wouldn't face the predicament of dying from a fall, the fact that her spiritual energy was suppressed by the oppressive force and couldn't circulate smoothly, coupled with the fall from a height of 100 meters, still caused her considerable internal injuries.
She staggered forward two steps, and a pair of unfamiliar shoes came into view.
Yu Zhiyi's gaze sharpened slightly as she slowly raised her eyes, only to see a strange young man looking at her with a cold expression.
Yu Zhiyi suppressed the metallic taste in her throat and spoke in a hoarse voice, "I wonder where this junior has offended the senior?"
Lingyun Zhenren's cold eyes were like smoke and mist, making it impossible to clearly see his expression. Only his clear voice could be heard: "Yu Zhiyi of the Tianji Sect?"
In a flash, Yu Zhiyi thought of many things.
"It is indeed I, the junior. May I ask who you are, senior?"
Master Lingyun paused slightly as he looked at the disheveled woman before him.
picture.
They look so alike.
How old are you this year?
Yu Zhiyi was taken aback, and her expression suddenly turned displeased: "Senior, this question is far too abrupt."
Master Qingfeng pursed his lips and changed the subject: "Who is your master?"
Yu Zhiyi said in a deep voice, "Before answering your question, could you please enlighten me? Why did you attack me for no reason?"
She was absolutely certain that she had left no trace when she killed Qingfeng Zhenren.
Even if the Taixu Sect had some suspicions, they couldn't produce any evidence to prove that she had killed someone.
Although she didn't understand how the other party knew of her existence and was able to catch up so quickly, she was very clear that no matter what happened next, she couldn't lose her composure.
Lingyun Zhenren stared at her for a moment with his light-colored eyes, then parted his thin lips slightly: "Not long ago, an elder of my Taixu Sect died outside, and you are one of the suspects. Coincidentally, after that elder died, you and your family all disappeared without a trace, as if you had fled to avoid punishment."
Yu Zhiyi looked surprised: "The elder you mentioned, is it Master Qingfeng? He's dead?"
He added, “Senior must have misunderstood. My family did not disappear without reason. They wanted to cultivate immortality after witnessing my abilities. Our Tianji Sect enters the Dao with our lives, and we believe in cause and effect and that good deeds will be rewarded.”
"I suggested that they do more good deeds, and they simply followed my advice and went down the mountain to do good deeds."
Master Lingyun's cold gaze remained fixed on her face, unwavering for a moment.
Yu Zhiyi frowned: "Senior suspects I killed him?"
Master Lingyun said calmly, "You are the most suspicious person."
Yu Zhiyi took a deep breath: "I am very grateful for your high regard for me, that you actually thought that I, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage at the time, could kill Qingfeng Zhenren, who was at the Golden Core stage. Whether you want to interrogate me or convict me directly, please give me some time to explain the reasons to my sect."
Master Lingyun slightly turned his body to the side.
Although they didn't say anything, their attitude was very clear.
Yu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
She was genuinely afraid he wouldn't let her go.
This person's strength is unfathomable, even more dangerous than when she first encountered Master Qingfeng.
She was quite certain that if the other party used force, she would definitely not be a match for them.
This place may seem to be near Tianji Gate, but it is actually dozens of miles away.
Yu Zhiyi immediately took to the air on her sword and flew to the outside of the Tianji Sect's protective formation before stopping.
The Tianji Sect's mountain gate is very simple, without any fancy decorations, and every plant and tree is very rustic.
At first glance, it couldn't even compare to the arrogance of the Bai family in Wanyuan City.
It's hard to imagine that this sect was a super power on par with the four major forces a hundred years ago.
Before Yu Zhiyi could examine her closely, a distant voice rang out from the high steps: "Are you Yu Zhiyi, a lay disciple?"
Yu Zhiyi was taken aback, then bowed and replied, "Reporting to senior, I am Yu Zhiyi, an outer disciple accepted by True Person Hongchan. I have come to Tianji Sect for two reasons: first, to gild the ancestral master's body, and second, to ask for your help."
"Come on up."
The invisible barrier of the mountain-protecting formation slowly opened a door in the middle, leading directly to the steps leading up the mountain.
Yu Zhiyi gave a slight bow and stepped onto the stairs.
As soon as she stepped onto the first step, a look of doubt appeared in her eyes.
There's something wrong with these steps.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard a familiar voice coming from the mountain: "What do you want from her?"
Yu Zhiyi's expression changed.
It's Master!
Back then, her master descended from the heavens like an immortal and rescued her from the inner quarters of the Yu family mansion.
Her master not only taught her skills, but also many life lessons.
If it weren't for her master, she might have ended up as a pitiful woman confined to her inner chambers in her previous life.
Even if she were to live a second life, she believed that without the guidance and experience she had accumulated over the years, she would still not be able to live a good life.
Her master had given her a second chance at life.
While Yu Zhiyi was still in a daze, the voice from above said again, "Why should I commit suicide? What did I do wrong?"
"The annihilation of the demon race was not my idea alone, but the common aspiration of everyone in the Heavenly Mystery Sect. I admit that the decline of the Heavenly Mystery Sect is inseparable from the annihilation of the demon race, but it is absurd to put all the blame on me!"
"Don't touch her! I... I promise you."
