The utility room at the foot of Yunlong Peak.
Luo Qingyun stood in front of the cupboard door, slowly arranging the food boxes and dishes.
This is the kitchen where meals are prepared specifically for the disciples who have not yet entered the sect. There are many servants here, and no one noticed her staying here for two days.
This place is extremely busy except for the three meals a day, but the rest of the time is relatively quiet. Luo Qingyun doesn't need to ask deliberately, she can hear what's going on inside from other people's conversations. It is a good place.
"I heard that the last person from the five major sects also left the mountain today."
"I heard that the five major sects came together this time, and it was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, the sect leader held on."
"I don't know why the Thousand Star Hall disciple wanted to stay a few more days. It kept me awake all night."
"I heard it has something to do with the genius within the sect."
"Is that Tang Yin really gone?"
"How could it be false? I saw her walk down the mountain with my own eyes."
“…”
Luo Qingyun paused in her tidying movements, but showed no sign of abnormality until night fell. She quietly walked up the mountain path until she reached the gate of Xiangsheng's courtyard, and listened attentively.
When I heard only the sound of even breathing from inside, I felt a little relieved and pushed the door open silently.
The lights in the yard were out and it was pitch black.
Luo Qingyun groped her way to the door of the room in the dark. As soon as she pushed it open, the lights inside suddenly lit up, illuminating two faces that couldn't be more familiar.
"Master Sister..."
Tang Yin's eyes were red, and her tone was bitter, "You are really too cruel."
Luo Qingyun paused for a moment, sighing helplessly, "You two actually teamed up to deceive me."
After a while, the three of them sat down around the round table.
At this point, Luo Qingyun was futile in avoiding the issue, so she simply confessed, "Yin'er, it's not that Senior Sister doesn't miss you, but Senior Sister also has her own unspeakable difficulties..."
"Is it because of the Demon Palace?"
Tang Yin rushed to say, "If it's because of this, Senior Sister, you don't have to worry."
Luo Qingyun was shocked, "You all know?"
Tang Yin was even more shocked than Luo Qingyun when she heard this. "Senior Sister, was your disappearance eleven years ago really because of the Demon Palace?"
Luo Qingyun looked at her and frowned slightly, "Has the Demon Palace appeared recently?"
"About the same."
Tang Yin took a deep breath and glanced at Xiang Sheng beside her.
Xiang Sheng knew what she was thinking and immediately said, "I'm grown up now, and I want to listen too. This matter also concerns the safety of our sect, so there's no harm in hearing more, Senior Sister Tang, don't you agree?"
Tang Yin opened her mouth, but found herself at a loss for words. Seeing that Luo Qingyun had no intention of stopping her, she sighed softly and said, "I just received the news today. Just the day before yesterday, a secret base of the Demon Palace near the Second Capital was taken out. All 3,528 people in the base were killed."
Luo Qingyun's pupils suddenly shrank, "Did the Lord take action?"
"no."
Tang Yin shook her head and smiled bitterly, "This matter is very strange, and we don't know who did it."
Having said that, Tang Yin simply told Luo Qingyun everything that happened on the day the five major sects came to visit.
After hearing this, Luo Qingyun was completely shocked.
She only hid for a few days, and the whole Dongzhou changed?
All this seems to be related to the Supreme of Wanjianmen?
"Big Brother also suspects that this matter is closely related to the Supreme Leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. However, according to Ying Changfeng, the Supreme Leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is old and frail. It is impossible for him to challenge the entire Demon Palace stronghold by himself."
Luo Qingyun nodded thoughtfully. "The Demon Palace has committed countless evil deeds, so it's no surprise that someone destroyed them. However, this incident is indeed a bit shocking. To be able to wipe out an entire city in an instant, the person who did it must have a cultivation level above the Out-of-Body Stage. Otherwise, no matter what, someone would have escaped by chance."
Luo Qingyun's analysis was very logical, while the person who had done this was sitting between the two of them, looking at each other with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
Listening to these two people talking about me, I felt really bad.
Fortunately, Luo Qingyun and Xiang Sheng were both lost in thought, and no one noticed that Xiang Sheng had a strange expression.
"Big Sister, please tell us about what happened back then."
Tang Yin finally couldn't hold back and started talking, "My senior brother and I both think you're afraid of bringing trouble to the sect, so you're not showing up. But it's really unacceptable to remain in hiding just for that reason."
Luo Qingyun's eyes struggled for a moment, and finally she sighed softly: "Indeed... there are other reasons."
Luo Qingyun seemed to be lost in memories, with deep pain in her eyes. "It wasn't the Demon Palace that caused my eternal damnation, but... my younger brother, Qingchen."
"What?!"
Tang Yin was shocked, "Brother Qingchen? How could it be..."
Her memory emerged of the young man who always liked to tease her. He had a somewhat erratic temperament, but a very kind heart, and never bullied her like other senior brothers and sisters.
How could such a warm-hearted senior brother attack his fellow disciple? And the target of his attack was not someone else, but his own sister.
"Back then, our five major sects worked together to explore the mysterious land. Although there were many demons causing trouble, we, the true disciples, joined forces and did not fall into the disadvantage."
Luo Qingyun pursed her lips tightly. "As we explored, we deduced the changes in the laws of the strange land until we came to... a door."
Xiang Sheng's eyes flickered slightly.
Another door.
The Demon Palace can use the Boundary-Breaking Stone to open a space channel anywhere, so why does it have to use a door as a medium?
She also remembered that in the Ghost Stream branch, she and Dong Jinghuan and others were trapped in an illusion, which was also separated by a door.
