"What...what should we do?"
Ji Ziyue looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, her face pale.
She had filmed similar scenes, with dead people everywhere.
But that was just a play, not reality.
At this moment, smelling the strong stench of blood in the air, Ji Ziyue wondered if she was having a nightmare.
Zhao Churan could see Ji Ziyue's fear, so she reached out and patted Ji Ziyue's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's okay. These are all evil people. They deserve to die. If you can't even handle this, you'll have a lot of trouble in the future."
"But..."
"There are no 'buts,' you'll get used to it eventually," Tantai Jingxin said with a light laugh.
Not long after, the group set off again and returned to Kunlun Palace.
That night, Kunlun Palace was bustling with activity and laughter.
The atmosphere within the Immortal Sect, the Immortal Sword Palace, and the Pudu Sect was vastly different from that within the Kunlun Palace.
The sect leader of the Illusionary Immortal Sect is an old woman.
The old woman's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water: "This Ye Qiu killed so many of us in one go, this is an irreconcilable feud."
"Sect Master, I believe that while that brat is still in Qianzhou, we should immediately unite with other sects and families to surround and kill Kunlun Palace. After that, we can easily take those reincarnated bodies away."
Below, Elder Mengzhen offered a suggestion.
"Foolish." A woman in red beside the old woman said coldly, "Why bother besieging Kunlun Palace?"
Now, he has brought all the reincarnated bodies he has found to Kunlun Palace.
This saves us a lot of trouble. We just need to wait patiently until we're confident we can defeat Ye Qiu before taking direct action. The fact that those reincarnated beings are gathered together is actually a good thing; we shouldn't alert them.
“Cold-blooded is right,” the old woman said. “However, Meng Zhen, your suggestion also makes some sense, but not now.”
I have a premonition that the spiritual energy revival is about to begin in earnest. During this period, do not cause trouble, and recruit more disciples with potential.
Once spiritual energy recovers, the world will change, and our Illusionary Immortal Sect cannot afford to miss this opportunity.
"yes."
"Go ahead," the old woman waved her hand.
As Meng Zhen withdrew, the old woman said to Leng Xue, "Leng Xue, you should go to Kunlun Palace and pledge allegiance to Ye."
"master..."
Leng Xue immediately tensed up: "Master, I have no intention of betraying the Illusionary Immortal Sect, not even a little bit."
"Don't be afraid," the old woman said with a smile. "I just want you to pretend to surrender. You are also one of the nine reincarnations. If you surrender, they will accept you unconditionally and try to influence you, no matter what."
Your task is simple: if you can provoke Ye Qiu into killing you, all the better; if not, that's alright too. Just figure out Ye Qiu's true combat strength so we can plan our next move.”
"this..."
I'm hesitant and cold-blooded; I don't really want to go.
"Disciple, whether the Illusionary Immortal Sect can gain the attention of the Divine Court depends entirely on you. If you are truly unwilling to shoulder this great responsibility, then your master will not force you..."
"I do."
"Cold-blooded," he said immediately.
"Alright, alright, go ahead, your teacher will await your good news."
The old woman said gently.
"I will obey my master's orders."
After bowing deeply, Leng Xue turned and strode away.
As the cold-blooded figure disappeared, the old woman's smile gradually vanished, replaced by coldness.
"Little girl, if you succeed, you will be a great gift from me to the Divine Court. You must not disappoint me."
The old woman's eerie mutterings echoed throughout the hall.
...
Night fell in the blink of an eye.
Leng Xue arrived outside Kunlun Palace, covered in blood, carrying a severed head in his hand.
This head belongs to an elder of the Immortal Sword Palace.
This was a ruthless and meticulously planned tactic to prove her sincerity.
At the palace gate, two Kunlun Palace disciples were shocked to see a woman in red carrying a severed head.
"Who...who are you?"
One of the disciples hurriedly asked.
“Go and report to your palace master that I come from the Illusionary Immortal Sect to surrender. My name is Leng Xue.”
He said coldly and indifferently.
Illusionary Immortal Sect?
Upon hearing these three words, both disciples panicked.
Then, one of the female disciples hurriedly ran into the palace to report.
At this very moment, Tantai Jingxin is studying the structure of the character "Kun" with Ye Qiu.
Tantai Jingxin was genuinely startled when she suddenly heard her disciple report the cold-blooded defection of the Illusionary Immortal Sect.
Ye Qiu also stood up: "Your face looks off. Is this Leng Xue really that formidable?"
"She is the one I told you about, one of the nine reincarnations," Tantai Jingxin said.
"Then what are we waiting for? We need to go and see right away."
Ye Qiu stood up excitedly.
"Don't panic," Tantai Jingxin said. "I have a feeling that she might be a fake surrender sent by the Illusionary Immortal Sect. That old guy from the Illusionary Immortal Sect has a firm grasp on our thoughts. She knows very well that even if we know that Leng Xue is a fake surrender, she will still keep Leng Xue, just because Leng Xue is a reincarnation."
So what you mean is?
"What I mean is, you can leave her here, but when you leave, you have to take her with you. Otherwise, if she can't kill you, she might turn on others, which would be very dangerous. Do you understand what I mean? You can't have nine reincarnations without even one."
Tantai Jingxin said.
"Understood," Ye Qiu said. "I'll go out and meet her first. You don't need to come out."
“Alright, go ahead. My suggestion is that you take her and leave Qianzhou directly, and don’t come back for a while. Also, I’ll tell you about the other reincarnations,” Tantai Jingxin said.
"Okay, tell me quickly."
Ye Qiu became interested.
"Tsk, look at you, so shameless. You're on a mission to pick up girls, feeling pretty good, huh?" Tantai Jingxin said disdainfully. "Last time, someone even mistook Long Ling and Xia Li for reincarnations. Let's see how you get out of this mess."
"Ahem, let's get down to business."
Ye Qiu changed the subject.
Tantai Jingxin took a deep breath and calmed herself before speaking in her Taoist robe: "The remaining two are in Jiangnan and the capital. As I said, you've met all the reincarnation bodies except for Leng Xue."
"Su Ruoshui?" Ye Qiu asked.
“She counts as one,” Tantai Jingxin said. “The other one is Mu Qing.”
"who?"
Ye Qiu was surprised: "Mu Qing from Xingcheng Construction Company?"
"Yes, it's her." Tantai Jingxin nodded affirmatively.
“Something’s not right,” Ye Qiu said. “I met Mu Qing after you said that there was only one of the nine reincarnation bodies that I hadn’t seen. So, you lied. I had never seen Mu Qing before you said that.”
“You don’t know this, but you’ve met Mu Qing before. However, it was before you became a disciple of that person from Zulong Mountain. She went to Qianzhou with her family, and her father and your grandfather met and discussed a business deal. But it’s been so long that neither of you remembers it,” Tantai Jingxin said with a smile.
"Should I go to the capital first or to Jiangnan first?"
Ye Qiu hesitated.
"Let's go to Jiangnan first... The Su family must be in trouble. Go and resolve it, and you'll win the heart of a beauty."
