By then, the Tianyan Sect would definitely be boycotted by the four major sects. If Lu Yushan had any brains, he would not do that.
In other words, as long as Dong Jinghuan breaks through, the Tianyan Sect will no longer be able to restrict him, and the Chiyan Sect's fire will be able to gain a foothold in Dongzhou.
Dong Jinghuan saw this point early on. With the Soul-Fixing Pearl by his side, it wouldn't take many years for him to break through the elixir and become an infant. His plans were well-coordinated and meticulous, which was a great idea.
This person is as good as Xiang Sheng. Perhaps we can try to bring him into the same profession...
A thought flashed through his mind. Jiang Yi saw Du Yuan still kneeling on the ground, looking dazed. He narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Dong Jinghuan must have received a pardon from the Heavenly Dao. He doesn't need to abide by his oath, but you still have to keep your promise. Don't spread rumors outside, or you'll provoke a heavenly calamity."
"Heaven's pardon?"
Du Yuan suddenly realized, but then asked in confusion, "How come such a thing exists in the world? How come Tianqing Pavilion has never mentioned it?"
"If Tianqing Pavilion announces this, who will buy the Heavenly Dao Scroll?"
Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, "The tide in Ghost Gorge is about to recede. Just go back and prepare, and don't let your imagination run wild."
Du Yuan calmed down and stood up, bowed respectfully and said, "I will obey my brother's order!"
Just as Du Yuan confessed what happened in person, a communication talisman passed through the Tianyan Sect's blockade, flew into Siji City, and landed accurately in Dong Jinghuan's hands.
"The secret talisman of Tianqing Pavilion?"
Lin Beilan saw the origin of the communication talisman and said coldly, "Tianqing Pavilion never does unprofitable business. What do they want to do?"
Dong Jinghuan scanned the contents of the communication talisman with his spiritual sense and sneered, "The tide in Ghost Stream receded a hundred years early, just in the past two days. No wonder the Tianyan Sect's blockade is tighter than usual. It turns out they're afraid I'll go to Ghost Stream and get the treasure, and then turn my life around."
"What does Tianqing Pavilion mean?"
Lin Beilan's brows knitted together. "They want you to go to Ghost Gorge. I feel like they have bad intentions."
Dong Jinghuan smiled and said, "This is not a bad thing. At least it means that no one in the outside world knows that we have the Soul-Fixing Orb."
"That's true."
Lin Beilan's brows relaxed slightly, and he tossed the communication talisman aside. "Since you're not going, don't worry about what's happening outside. I'll go call Ying Zhuo and the others to come and practice together."
In recent years, with the help of the Soul-Fixing Pearl, the two of them have made progress in their cultivation far beyond that of others, which has caused a lot of dissatisfaction.
After repeated discussions, the two came up with a compromise. Dong Jinghuan remained in charge, and other disciples were allowed to get some rain and dew outside the door. In this way, the voices of dissatisfaction were indeed dissipated, and the news of the Soul-Fixing Pearl was not leaked. The two felt a little relieved.
Seeing Lin Beilan getting up and about to leave, Dong Jinghuan looked at the communication talisman, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he called out to her, "Wait."
Lin Beilan turned back in confusion, and Dong Jinghuan pursed his lips slightly, "Has she... sent any message?"
Lin Beilan was stunned for a moment, and his memory was immediately stretched far away, as if he had returned to five years ago in an instant.
The tragedies that happened on Stone Square are still vivid in my mind as if they happened just yesterday.
Lin Beilan closed his eyes, shook off the sea of blood and corpses before him, shook his head slightly, and turned away.
Dong Jinghuan looked at her back as she left, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no word came out.
In the past few years, when he was not practicing, he would always think of the beautiful figure who turned the tide in the Stone Square five years ago.
If she hadn't taken action, he would most likely be the only one standing here today.
If he hadn't stood by and watched...
He gently covered his heart.
Over the years, his heart has been heavy, weighed down not only by blood feud but also by too much guilt.
If she were still alive, would the guilt in my heart perhaps be less?
"Junior brother, Senior Sister is calling us to practice, come out quickly."
Ying Zhuo's voice was heard outside the door.
Wei Zheng agreed quickly. When he heard the footsteps outside fading away, he slowly took out the green jade talisman from his arms. A line of text appeared on it - How is Dong Jinghuan doing these days? Tell me in detail.
“Master…”
Wei Zheng sat stiffly for a moment, expressionlessly recording what he had recently seen and heard. "The Tianqing Pavilion sent a letter informing us of the situation at Guijian. Dong Jinghuan and Lin Beilan are concentrating on their cultivation and are not planning to go."
He paused after engraving this point, then continued, "Dong Jinghuan holds a supreme treasure for cultivation, which is suspected to be the Soul-Fixing Pearl. His cultivation progress is extremely fast. Within fifty years, he will surely be able to break through the pill and become an infant!"
When he carved the last character, Lin Beilan's smiling face suddenly flashed before his eyes. He pulled with his fingertips, dragging out a long stroke of the character "婴".
“Senior Sister…”
Wei Zheng showed signs of struggling, but finally gritted his teeth and erased the second half. Then he waved his sleeves, and the words on the jade talisman flashed with golden light and disappeared into nothingness.
