Chapter 25: Subconsciously gaining favor



What should we do if Senior Sister An really killed Master Miaodan?

The answer is no.

For cultivators, although there are no worldly laws to constrain them, ordinary moral codes are still in effect, the most basic of which is "a life for a life."

In order to cross the bottom line of life for life, they must find a way to deal with the victim's family. Neither intimidation nor inducement can be done by Qingluo Peak today.

Therefore, if Senior Sister An really killed Master Miaodan, then she would have no choice but to accept the punishment. At most, Ling Yunpo would be forced to flee Shushan and live in exile... Most of the people who betrayed the sect did so because they violated the sect's rules and committed serious crimes.

It would be better to think about how to stop Senior Sister An. After all, the news we received from Kunlun was "suspected murder of a fellow disciple" rather than conclusive evidence, which means there is still room for maneuver.

In the past, Ling Yunpo was quite confident in Senior Sister An's sense of propriety. After all, she had fought privately with her fellow disciples so many times, but she had never really failed once, which meant that she had never lost her calm and rationality...

Forget it. She is suspected of murdering a fellow disciple. I don’t have any confidence in Senior Sister An at all.

Soon, Master Yujing came out from the back hall and gave the six people a serious lecture, telling them how difficult it was for Shushan to secure six places this time, and told them to try their best and not bring shame to the sect.

Ling Yunpo listened silently at the side, thinking that Master, you may not know that six people from Shushan were sent out, but only three got in. Three people from Kunlun were sent out, and only three got in.

Whether this can be considered a loss or not is another matter, but the sect certainly has lost a lot of face.

After the departure speech, everyone went out to meet the monks from Kunlun and Penglai who had rushed over, then boarded the treasure ship thrown out by the head of Yujing and began to fly towards Xihua Peak.

Ling Yunpo folded his arms and leaned against the side of the boat. He did not look at Qiu Changtian in the past or Luo Yan in the future. He just pondered silently.

Still the same question: fighting is not allowed in the secret realm, so how did the victim die? Is the murderer Sister An?

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt as if the air conditioner was turned on around me, and it suddenly became cold.

When Ling Yunpo came back to his senses, he saw An Zhisu and Xu Yinglian fighting with each other with their eyes again, making the smell of gunpowder at the scene extremely strong, so that the other cultivators retreated one after another.

"Senior Sister!" He hurried over to grab An Zhisu's arm and urged her to calm down. "Don't get into a conflict with the people from Kunlun. It will be embarrassing if the head of Yujing comes to see you!"

"But she started it first!" An Zhisu was still unconvinced and said stubbornly.

Ling Yun was in a headache. Are you a child? Why are you fighting here?

He was about to continue persuading her when Shi Liuli came over and said with a smile:

"Master Jiangxiao, why are you and Master Qiongying staring at each other? Are you practicing some unique technique?"

This sounded like sarcasm, but her expression was extremely normal, without any sarcasm, so An Zhisu felt a little embarrassed, and finally looked away and said:

"Nothing, just some minor issues."

Well done, Miss Shi!

Ling Yunpo gave her a look of gratitude, and Shi Liuli didn't say anything, just smiled and turned back to Luo Yan.

I will not go into details about the following process. In short, everyone arrived at Xihua Peak, and then Shi Liuli and Jian Buyan worked together to divine and found clues. Luo Yan discovered traces of the altar and opened the light path, and then the demon monks who were ambushing on the side rushed in.

Ling Yunpo said nothing, grabbed An Zhisu and rushed onto the light path first.

The others finally reacted upon seeing this and rushed over.

The higher up the Tongtianguang Road went, the steeper and harder it became to walk. An Zhisu was a little overwhelmed by the slope, so he could only force himself to stabilize his body, holding Lingyunpo with his arms from behind, and shouted:

"Junior brother! Hold on first!"

Ling Yunpo knew that even if you didn't climb up, the light path would keep moving upwards, so it was safe after all. He subconsciously said:

"Sister, I will release the Qingping Sword in a moment. You grab its hilt, and then I will use all my strength to shoot the flying sword upwards. How high I can take you depends entirely on luck!"

"What?" An Zhisu was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and shouted excitedly, "How can this be possible!"

It has always been the senior sister who protects the junior brother, so how can it be reasonable for the junior brother to sacrifice for the senior sister?

She quickly countered:

"Your method is good, but you chose the wrong person. I am a second-grade golden elixir, and my true energy is much stronger than yours. Why don't I use the Feiyan Sword to send you up, and the chances of winning will be greater."

Ling Yunpo then acted resolute and said angrily:

"No! How can I leave my sister behind and go alone?"

"Then I can't sacrifice my junior brother!" An Zhisu's eyes were slightly red.

So this is not the end, right? Ling Yunpo sneered inwardly, and suddenly thought of something, and said strangely:

"Senior Sister, if you hold the Qingping Sword and I hold the Feiyan Sword, and we each drive our own natal swords to fly upwards, can we break through the sword control restriction here?"

An Zhisu was also stunned when he heard this.

The so-called flight restriction does not allow cultivators to fly by any means. For example, if someone tries to fly with a sword, if they are discovered by the restriction, they will be smashed down, a typical example is Sister Xu.

But what if I hold someone else's flying sword? This flying sword is not under my control, so strictly speaking it is not me who is flying, but I am being carried by something else...

Before the two of them could think for long, the light path finally tilted to be completely vertical, leaving them with no place to stabilize themselves.

An Zhisu subconsciously shot out the Feiyan Sword and shouted:

"Brother, hold on!"

Ling Yunpo also shot out the Qingping Sword. The two of them each grabbed the other's sword handle with one hand, and used the other hand to make fierce sword gestures, trying to control the sword to rush upwards.

As a result, the gravity here seemed to be abnormal. Although he used all his strength to propel the flying sword, his body still fell down uncontrollably - but the speed of falling was a little slower, just like a parachute.

Finally landing on the ground, Ling Yunpo looked around and realized that he was already inside the Golden Palace Secret Realm.

"Is this the Golden Palace?" An Zhisu asked in surprise, looking at the pavilions and towers in the distance.

"That's what I think." Ling Yunpo drew out the Qingping Sword and said calmly, "Senior Sister, please be careful. I will protect you."

An Zhisu smiled brightly, and then he also called the Feiyan Sword to his side and said:

"It's good to go together."

The two of them moved forward cautiously as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

After turning about two corners, several maids suddenly appeared from the front and said with a smile:

"So it's here! Two sword immortals, please follow us to see the True Lord."
