A layer of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the Fengyue Sect elder. "I will withdraw everyone right away!"
…
With the departure of Tianyan Sect and Xiang Sheng, the matter was settled, the Dongzhou Competition was over, and there was no need for the various sects to stay in Siji City, so they gradually dispersed.
Only the remaining disciples of the Chiyan Sect remained in the stone square, silently picking up the bodies of their fellow disciples.
Lin Beilan carefully collected the bodies of his master and the other two, stepped across the river of blood, and walked step by step to Dong Jinghuan, who had been silent for a long time.
Dong Jinghuan noticed something and turned to meet Lin Beilan's red eyes. His throat rolled and he uttered three words in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry."
"Brother Dong, you have done nothing wrong to me. Logically speaking, you did nothing wrong."
Lin Beilan's tone was calm, uncharacteristically cool. "Xiang Sheng said you had a plan long ago. Now, if we take one step out of Siji City, we will be hunted down by the Tianyan Cult. What are your plans?"
Dong Jinghuan stared at Lin Beilan in a daze, as if he was getting to know her all over again.
Lin Beilan frowned, "Dong Jinghuan."
Dong Jinghuan regained consciousness and said in a deep voice, "Give me the token."
Lin Beilan sneered, "Impossible!"
Dong Jinghuan listened but was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled: "That's what I want. Not only me, but also Ying Zhuo, Wei Zheng, or any of the disciples, if they ask you for the token, you must not give it to them."
Lin Beilan snorted coldly, "You don't need to remind me."
Dong Jinghuan hummed softly, remained silent for a moment, and then transmitted his message, "I have the Soul-Fixing Orb."
"Soul Path Treasure?!"
Lin Beilan's eyes widened slightly, and before he could say anything, he heard Dong Jinghuan continue in a voice transmission: "This was not the original plan. The Soul-Fixing Orb is obviously better.
Before coming here, I brought all the sect's cultivation resources with me. We will settle down in Siji City and practice in seclusion. You and I will take turns secretly using the Soul-Fixing Pearl. Within ten years, we will be able to form a fetus!"
Dong Jinghuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Then, it will be our time to break through and take revenge."
Lin Beilan was shocked, but couldn't help but frown, "What about Ying Zhuo and Wei Zheng..."
"How can you guarantee that they are not traitors?"
Dong Jinghuan's eyes were cold. "Even if you can promise, I won't lend the Soul-Fixing Orb to any of them. If you don't want to, let's forget about it."
Lin Beilan's expression changed for a while, and finally turned into a firm look, "I promise you!"
Three months later—
The territory of the Thousand Star Palace, Lingyu City.
A secular carriage passed through the city, leaving a shallow track on the ground.
Xiang Sheng was woken up by the hustle and bustle of the city. He propped himself up and sat up, then opened the car curtain to look at the bustling scene in the city.
Wang Tuo, who was driving, heard the noise and immediately laughed, "You're awake! You slept for quite a long time, a full eight hours."
Xiang Sheng pursed his lips, "Where are we?"
Wang Tuo immediately replied, "This is Lingyu City. Do you want to come down and rest? Your true essence is sealed by the Four Extremes. You are as fragile as an ordinary person. I'm afraid your body can't handle the bumpy ride."
"Lingyu City..."
Xiang Sheng's eyes flickered slightly, "No."
"Okay, then let's go to the next city and rest."
…
"Junior Sister Tang, what are you looking at? Why do you look like you're about to cry?"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door. Tang Yin was startled back to her senses, but she didn't have time to put away the file. She could only stand up and salute, "Senior Sister."
"No need to be so polite."
The woman raised her hand to help Tang Yin up, picked up the file and glanced at it, then said in sudden realization, "So it's about the Four Pole City incident. Tens of thousands of Blazing Flame Sect disciples were killed, and being expelled from the sect in one day is truly a cause for regret."
Tang Yin listened, pointed to a lifelike portrait on the file, and asked cautiously, "Senior Sister, who is this?"
The woman immediately laughed and said, "Junior sister, you have a very good eye. You can tell at a glance that the most powerful character here is the Lu family's demon girl!"
"The witch of the Lu family, her last name is Lu?"
Tang Yin asked hurriedly, still holding on to a last glimmer of hope in her heart. She remembered her master had said that her master's surname was Xiang.
The woman shook her head and said, "The name of the Lu family witch has only been revealed recently. To be precise, she is not from the Lu family, but her surname is Xiang, and her name is Xiang Sheng."
Tang Yin was shocked. It was really Master!
"The true champion of this East Continent Competition is the enchanting Lu. With her own strength, she surpasses all the sects in East Continent. Legend has it that she even possesses the greatest secret of the Four Extremes City: the Four Extremes Forbidden!"
The woman sighed repeatedly as she spoke, "It's a pity that such a stunning figure is envied by heaven and won't live long."
Tang Yin's eyes welled up with tears as she listened. "Is there no way to save her?"
The woman hugged Tang Yin and said, "Our Junior Sister Yin'er is really kind, but that evil woman of the Lu family has deep roots of evil. Her body is in a state of decay and cannot be restored. She has not yet reached the stage of soul and body separation. I am afraid... it will not work.
If they hadn't determined that she was doomed, how could Fengyue Sect let her go so easily and let her leave? "
Hearing this, Tang Yin could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
