But if you win, you can cancel the engagement."
Zi Shuhe lowered her eyes slightly. She wanted to wait until the matter was resolved before telling Li Lingge.
But unexpectedly, Jingyue told it all directly.
"Why are you bringing this up?"
Li Lingge didn't expect that Zi Shuhe had such a story.
"But this agreement doesn't sound fair."
If he loses, Zi Shuhe will become a slave.
But if he wins, the engagement will just be cancelled and Ji Wuming won't have to pay any price.
"Where is there any fairness in this world?" Zi Shuhe showed a wry smile on his face. "The strong are respected. This is the greatest fairness."
Ji Wuming joined the Sword Sect and became the Sword Sect's Holy Son.
Faced with a hidden immortal sect like the Sword Sect, she was already satisfied to be able to obtain such conditions.
Li Lingge was silent. Strength is the greatest fairness. He had no way to refute this statement.
However, Jingyue took the initiative to bring up this matter not to embarrass Zishuhe.
"In ten days it will be the date agreed upon three hundred years ago. I heard that Ji Wuming has also broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm and has taken the ancient divine sword from the sword tomb."
She knew that the Moon Shadow Sect alone could not compete with the Sword Sect.
In the battle scheduled for ten days, Zi Shuhe will not have an easy time whether he wins or loses.
If you lose, Ji Wuming will plant a slave mark on you and you will become a complete slave.
If I win... do you really think that by defeating the Holy Son of the Sword Sect, I can safely cancel the engagement?
Ji Wuming is narrow-minded, and the Sword Sect will never let Zi Shuhe go easily.
Shangguan Yourong and Li Lingge, one holding a magic sword and the other able to set up an immortal-level spirit gathering formation, will definitely be recruited by the hidden immortal sect.
She had long noticed that Zi Shuhe and Li Lingge had a special relationship. If she wanted to protect this elder in her sect who had just broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, she could only rely on the hidden immortal sect.
Li Lingge was not stupid. He understood Jingyue's intention in just a few words.
He cannot choose the Sword Sect, a hidden immortal sect, so he has to choose a force that can fight against the Taoist Sect and the Sword Sect as his support.
"In that case, besides the Sword Sect, what other forces are there?"
"Wuxiang Sect."
Zi Shuhe slowly began to introduce.
"Their ancestor was once a capable general under the Wuxiang Divine Emperor, but was demoted for violating the forbidden reincarnation cycle.
The Wuxiang Sect is located in the Nine Netherworlds, the place where yin and yang meet, and it handles the unspeakable secrets of the divine realm."
Jingyue added, lightly tapping her chin with her index finger.
"There is also the Temple of the Gods, which serves the gods as their master. They are the gods' leaders in the various immortal realms."
Li Lingge fell into deep thought. The Wuxiang Sect and the Temple of Servant of Gods were both following the orders of the gods.
He killed the clone of the Giant Spirit God, but he didn't know if he would be walking into a trap if he relied on the Wuxiang Sect and the Temple of the Gods.
As if she saw his embarrassment, Shangguan Yourong gently held his hand.
"There is also the Yinlu, hidden deep in the Tianxu Star Sea of the Four Imperial Immortal Realms. The ancestor of the Yinlu can use the power of the stars to deduce the way of heaven and condense his natal star."
However, before Li Lingge could speak, Jingyue broke his illusion.
"A million years ago, a catastrophe disrupted the star orbits of the immortal world. In order to suppress the forbidden area of the "Fallen Star Demon Core", the Yinlu lineage vowed never to leave the star sea."
Li Lingge smiled, took a deep breath, and then spoke.
"In that case, let's spread the news in the Four Imperial Immortal Realms."
As soon as these words came out, the three women looked at him at the same time.
"What news?"
Clang!
Li Lingge drew out the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, and a glimmer of sword light flashed in his eyes.
"With the divine sword as bait and the immortal-level spirit gathering array as leverage, someone will naturally come looking for us."
Instead of looking for other forces that can compete with Taoism, it is better to let those forces come to us on their own initiative.
Even if we take a step back, with his current mental strength and Shangguan Yourong's formation, that Taoist Ancestor may not be his opponent.
…
At night.
Chu Feng stood outside the Hanlu Palace on the top of Qingzhu Peak, the night wind blowing up his dark sleeves.
“Master…”
His throat tightened, and the scene of Li Lingge brushing away the hair from his master's temples during the day came back to his mind.
Boom boom boom!
Chu Feng took a deep breath and knocked heavily on the agarwood door with his knuckles.
The moment the door opened, the Canaan fragrance emanating from the lotus-patterned copper censer wafted towards him, but it couldn't suppress the sourness surging in his chest.
"Feng'er?" Zi Shuhe wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, his face clearly showing some displeasure. "It's so late, what's the matter?"
Chu Feng felt a little disappointed when he saw that Zi Shuhe had no intention of letting him into the house.
"Master, that Li guy is a beast in human clothing. He must have ulterior motives in approaching you. You must not be deceived by him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lingge walked out from behind the screen.
"Are you talking about me?"
Seeing Li Lingge appear in Zishuhe's bedroom, Chu Feng felt that breathing became a little difficult.
"Why are you in my master's room?"
"Breaking into Master's bedroom in the middle of the night, the Moon Shadow Sect has good rules."
Li Lingge suddenly stepped forward and stood close to Zi Shuhe.
"The fairy and I were discussing each other's strengths and weaknesses, but how come you're saying it's like we have ulterior motives?"
The next moment, he actually hugged Zi Shuhe's slender waist in front of Chu Feng.
"Or...are you actually jealous?"
"Lingge, stop teasing him."
Zi Shuhe shook her head helplessly, pointed her slender fingertips at Li Lingge and patted his hand gently, but her cheeks were slightly flushed.
