Chapter 105 Confrontation I'm helping you, sister.
“Master…”
Mu Fuyun covered his chest and couldn't help muttering.
She thought that this piece of crystal would only allow Xie Hanyi to know at any time whether she was threatened and where she was, but she didn't expect that it would actually protect her in a critical moment.
For a moment, she felt her mind was in chaos and trance, as if she was isolated from everything around her.
It was Zhan Yao's voice transmission that brought her back to her senses.
"They went to the back hall."
She immediately understood that Zhan Yao was talking about Chen Tian and the others.
When the last thunderbolt came, Mu Fuyun felt the crystal piece on his chest tremble, as if curled up in pain, and then a numb pain spread from around his heart.
She covered her chest and pulled out the red rope tied to the crystal piece from under her Taoist robe, and it fell into her palm.
The original crystal clearness and attractive luster disappeared, as if covered by an invisible hand, or as if the surface was worn away by rough stones, making it dull.
The trace of spiritual consciousness inside was completely dissipated by the thunder.
Mu Fuyun was so weak that he collapsed on the trial platform, his eyes looking upwards at the rolling thick clouds in the sky that had not yet dissipated, and his heart suddenly felt empty.
At this moment, a low voice seemed to be heard all around, followed by bursts of noisy discussions and exclamations from different distances.
"Junior Sister Mu!" Yun Ni's resonant voice rang out in her ears at some point, bringing her back from her trance. "Your Qi Sea is depleted. Take this quickly!"
Having said that, without waiting for her to react, he stuffed two ordinary Guyuan Pills into her mouth.
Afraid that she had just experienced a thunder tribulation, her meridians were fragile, and she did not have enough spiritual power to protect her body, she did not dare to use high-level elixirs and only took ordinary Guyuan Dan.
"This is a healing talisman." Seeing her swallow the pill, Yun Ni slapped her and stuck a talisman paper that a junior sister had just taken from the medical practitioner behind her. "You have suddenly advanced. The master has just said that today's competition will be suspended here. Let's all rest for a day and continue tomorrow. I'm afraid we still need to discuss your situation."
She had experienced the tribulation of thunder and had obviously made continuous progress, stepping into the realm of spiritual transformation in one step.
"Junior Sister Mu, you are truly amazing!" Yun Ni helped her up, her eyebrows dancing with joy, her eyes shining. "Senior Sister, in my entire life, I have never seen anyone advance so quickly! I think you have truly inherited your master's legacy. You will be the next number one swordsman in the world!"
Mu Fuyun struggled to sit up and wanted to smile at her, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a wave of blood came out, dripping onto her lapel. Combined with the cuts made by sword force, gravel, etc., she looked miserable and tragic.
"Don't move, I'll give you some more spiritual power to help you come back to your senses," Yun Ni sat behind her and put his hand on her back, trying to restrain his excitement, but he couldn't help but continued to mutter with a smile on his face.
"You naturally can't participate in the Nascent Soul stage competition anymore. I think they'll probably let you continue to participate in the Spiritual Transformation stage competition like before."
The Spirit Transformation Stage is almost the limit of what most cultivators can achieve in their lifetime. Even for those "gifted" cultivators, it would take at least ten years, and at most several decades, to reach such a stage. For example, Chu Ye, who embarked on the immortal path at a young age, has been on this stage for more than twenty years.
"You advanced twice in front of so many sects. It's worthy of our Tian Yan's bragging for decades!"
Yun Ni has a cheerful personality and couldn't stop herself once she started talking. Liang Huailian, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Can you please be quiet for a while!" She was supported by a fellow disciple and struggled to get up from the ground. While swallowing blood, she shouted with all her might, "She doesn't mind the noise, but I do!"
Yun Ni was stunned and realized that she was indeed too excited, so she quickly shut up.
But the next moment, a trembling cry came from the horizon.
"My dear, Huailian, Baoer, please let daddy see your injuries!"
Liang Daoheng, surrounded by seven or eight Wuding Sect disciples, flew down from the stands on his sword. Behind them were the red-clothed disciples who had just cheered for Liang Huailian, and behind them were the Taixu Sect disciples who had been pushed to the edge.
The huge team gathered on the trial platform and surrounded Liang Huailian, leaving Yun Ni and others stunned.
Liang Huailian: "...It seems I shouldn't be awake."
After saying that, his eyes rolled back and he really fainted.
"Baoer!" Liang Daoheng exclaimed and threw himself forward. His slightly broad body looked like he could crush the tall and slender Liang Huailian to death.
"Master, it's important to take my junior sister back to heal her wounds." Zhan Yang calmly reached out to support him, as if he was already used to it, and instructed his fellow disciples around him to take the unconscious Liang Huailian away.
Before leaving, he did not forget to nod slightly in Yun Ni's direction to express his apology.
At this time, Mu Fuyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Ni retracted her hand, walked around to her, and helped her up: "Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look, or should I send you back to Lingshanze?"
Mu Fuyun shook his head, looked across the crowd, and met Zhan Yao who was standing by the bamboo forest.
"I'll be able to go back later on my own. Thank you, Senior Sister Yun. Please also thank Master Jiang for me. After the ceremony is over, I will go to Luoxia Peak to express my gratitude in person."
Seeing this, Yun Ni guessed that she and Zhan Yao had other things to do, so she didn't bother to care anymore. She nodded in agreement, gave a few more instructions, and then left with everyone.
Mu Fuyun was the only one left. He slowly walked down the trial platform and came in front of Zhan Yao.
"I'll take you there." Knowing that she was weak and could no longer fly the sword, Zhan Yao took her directly to the back hall after she said that.
…
At the same time, in the back hall, under the stare of several pairs of eyes, Chen Tian tried to put all the blame on Mu Fuyue.
Unlike Xu Lian and Zhou Su who were shocked when they first saw Mu Fuyue's appearance, Chu Ye and Song Xinghe had such complicated emotions in their hearts that they didn't know how to express themselves.
"...I, I was momentarily bewildered!" Chen Tian, a man who only bullies the weak and fears the strong, felt his legs weaken as he saw even the sect's senior brother was there. He was almost kneeling on the spot. "I was hiding here at the time, and I don't know why, but it was like I was bewitched. I just agreed... It was all her fault—Senior Sister Mu. She was the one who ordered me to do it!"
Song Xinghe stood there like a piece of wood, staring at the large gray square bricks on the ground with his head down, without saying a word.
Chu Ye's expression was stiff, but he still had some rationality in him.
"Yue'er, is what he said true?" He looked at Mu Fuyue and asked with difficulty.
Mu Fuyue opened her mouth, and her pretty face showed a weak and innocent expression the moment she saw Chen Tian.
Seeing Chu Ye asking the question, she was about to shake her head and deny it in her usual tone, but she caught a glimpse of the sarcasm and disgust in Xu Lian's slightly raised lips, and suddenly paused and changed her tone.
"Brother, do you see me this way too?"
In just a moment, her expression changed from gentle and innocent to sad and disappointed.
Chu Ye's lips moved slightly, and his originally cold and sharp eyes softened unconsciously.
"Yue'er, I..." His voice was even drier than before, "As long as you say 'no', when have I ever not believed you?"
Mu Fuyue shook her head sadly, looking very hurt. "No, it's different. I know that this time, even if I say it's not me, you won't believe it."
Chu Ye didn't say anything, but Xu Lian beside him couldn't help it anymore.
She usually hated people who acted pretentiously. She had disliked Mu Fuyu in the past, not only because she joined the Tianzi class midway through, but also because she couldn't stand her free and easy attitude. Now that she saw Mu Fuyue, she naturally couldn't stand it either.
Although she had been in Tianyan for quite some time and had heard of Mu Fuyue's reputation, she was in the outer sect at that time and had never really met her. She did not have such a deep-rooted good impression of her, and her impression was shattered when she accidentally overheard the conversation between her and Chen Tian.
"Who cares what he thinks about you? What we're talking about now is whether you did it or not. Why, I heard it with my own ears, and you still want to deny it? Do you want me to repeat what you two said that day?"
Several people turned their eyes to Mu Fuyue again.
Mu Fuyue's face froze. The rhythm she had just designed was disrupted, and she couldn't go back and start over.
She took a deep breath, lowered her head, and whispered, "I'm not denying it. It was indeed me. I asked Junior Brother Chen to remove the seal on my sister."
Song Xinghe turned around, with his back to her, lowered his head and said nothing.
Chu Ye closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and continued to ask: "What exactly is the seal on her body used for?"
"Please explain clearly. I heard it last time. As long as this seal is removed, Mu Fuyun's strength will be greatly reduced and he will make a fool of himself in public." Before she could speak, Xu Lian took the initiative.
At this time, Zhan Yao and Mu Fuyun also rushed to the back hall and happened to hear this sentence.
"Ayao!" Xu Lian turned her head and met Zhan Yao's gaze. She called out first and wanted to go forward and stand with her, but she stopped after taking just one step, too timid to move forward.
Zhan Yao glanced at her and ignored her as he had done in recent months, but he stopped only half a foot away from her.
"I also want to hear from my sister what the seal in my body is about."
Mu Fuyun walked into the room with a pale face. Several people inside immediately turned to look at her, their eyes showing different emotions.
But she didn't look at them at all, but just stared at Mu Fuyue.
Outside the door, the bright sunshine after the dark clouds shone on her back, making her feel dizzy.
Mu Fuyue's face was as dark as wax. He was silent for a moment, then slowly met her gaze, a fake smile rising at the corner of his lips.
"I'm helping you, sister."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhan Yao frowned and retorted directly, "Don't play tricks. I won't let you deceive me just because you are my senior sister."
Others did not believe her explanation either. However, after hearing Zhan Yao say this, they always felt that she had some hidden meaning, as if she was hinting at certain people.
Only Mu Fuyun felt that her words had another meaning.
Of course, she didn't believe that Mu Fuyue was really kind-hearted, but she felt that there must be a reason for her to say so.
"Speak clearly, how did you help me?"
Mu Fuyue smiled with a hint of regret: "Your bones are not complete. That seal only fills the gap temporarily, but it is not a long-term solution. One day, it will be unable to support the increasingly overflowing Qi and spiritual energy in your body and will collapse. By then, you will lose your life."
