Chapter 297 Retreat
"Why are you here?" Ning Ruoxi asked Yun Qianhan.
Yun Qianhan looked at Ning Ruoxi and asked, "Are you okay?"
"fine."
"I have something to tell you!" Yun Qianhan was mysterious and Ning Ruoxi didn't know what he was up to.
"Master Luo is dead!"
Ning Ruoxi was a little surprised, "Master Luo died? When did it happen?"
Yun Qianhan explained, "This time, the Immortal God Temple sent out all its disciples to hunt down the demons. Fang Qiansui, a disciple from the Fourth Temple, was assassinated by Luo Changzhu."
"The Lord of the Fourth Hall was extremely furious. Fang Qiansui was the only seed disciple of the Fourth Hall. Now the Fourth Hall was left without a single seed disciple. The Lord of the Fourth Hall immediately took action to suppress and kill Lord Luo."
"How did the Fourth Hall Master know that it was Luo Changzhu who killed Fang Qiansui?"
"Because Master Luo was careless when he acted, he was seen by other disciples. He failed to completely silence the witness, and the matter was then reported to the Fourth Hall Master."
Fang Qiansui had been in contact with Ning Ruoxi a long time ago. Because he became the only seed disciple of the Fourth Hall and was vigorously cultivated by the Lord of the Fourth Hall, Fang Qiansui gradually cut off contact with Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi didn't feel anything about Fang Qiansui's death. She probably thought that if she died, Fang Qiansui wouldn't say anything.
It’s good that Master Luo is dead. At least Ning Ruoxi won’t have to worry about being plotted against behind her back anymore.
After seeing Yun Qianhan off, Ning Ruoxi could finally have a good rest, but she was a little confused.
The Demon-Suppressing Pass in the Fairyland has been secured again, which means that the disciples of the Fairy Temple can no longer go out at will.
I don’t know when I can leave the Immortal Temple next time. If Huang Tian notices Ning Ruoxi during this period, Ning Ruoxi will definitely be exposed.
Ning Ruoxi made up her mind. She found Fu Liyang and said, "Palace Master, I want to go into seclusion for a while and abandon the Buddhist and sword arts."
Fu Liyang frowned, "You are only in the middle stage of the Immortal Venerable Realm. If you abandon the Buddhist Dao and the Dao of Swords in advance, your cultivation level may fall below the Immortal Venerable Realm."
"Palace Master, my foundation is very solid. I am confident that I can maintain my cultivation in the Immortal Venerable Realm. For me, there is no difference between giving up early and practicing to the peak of the Immortal Venerable Realm and then giving up."
"Well then! Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any further. I will personally arrange for someone to install a magic circle in your cave for you to practice. If you need anything, just let me know."
"Thank you, Palace Master."
Ning Ruoxi understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Now that Fu Liyang was paying more and more attention to her, it would be difficult for her to get rid of Fu Liyang unless her strength surpassed Fu Liyang.
But now Fu Liyang is Ning Ruoxi's only protective umbrella in the Temple of Immortals.
The people arranged by Fu Liyang worked very efficiently, and the training formation in Ning Ruoxi's cave was quickly installed. The concentration of Tao power and immortal energy was already enough to rival the training formation in Xianmiao Mountain.
However, the training formation in Ning Ruoxi’s cave can only last for ten years before it falls apart.
Before Ning Ruoxi went into seclusion, she sent Ji Junrui and Yao Baitao away so that no one would disturb her. She didn't really want to go into seclusion, but to hide her incompetence.
…….
Ning Ruoxi was in seclusion, but the people outside were not idle either.
Ji Junrui and Yao Baitao came together again, and they formed an alliance without any prior agreement.
"Senior Sister Yao, judging from the current situation, Junior Sister Ning is very favored by the Palace Master!"
"Even the cultivation formations in the cave were arranged by the Palace Master himself."
Yao Baitao naturally understood what Ji Junrui meant. "Yes! Junior Sister Ning is favored, so the two of us can no longer hope to become the Palace Master. There is no need to compete to the death."
"Junior Brother Ji asked me to come here, so let's be clear! There's no need to be so secretive."
Ji Junrui smiled and said, "What else can I think about?"
"I asked Senior Sister Yao to come here just to make peace with her so that we can work together to get the blood back from her in the future."
"Oh? Are you so sure that Junior Sister Ning will return the essence and blood to us?" Yao Baitao asked Ji Junrui.
Ji Junrui's mouth twitched unconsciously, "What else can we do if we don't believe it? We can only believe it."
"Junior Sister Ning doesn't take us seriously at all. She is so favored, and we are not an obstacle for her to become the hall master. I think if we do a good job for her, she will return the essence and blood to us."
Yao Baitao nodded, "You are right, but do you really have no interest in the position of Palace Master?"
"Haha, so what if I have the intention? I can only be powerless..."
"Have you heard? The last seed disciple of the Fourth Hall died. There are no seed disciples in the Fourth Hall now."
"I heard about it, but what does it have to do with us?"
"Have you ever thought about joining the Fourth Temple? Then maybe we can have a chance to become temple masters."
"Join the Fourth Palace?" Ji Junrui looked at Yao Baitao in confusion, "Wouldn't that be a betrayal of the Seventh Palace?"
"How can there be any talk of betrayal or not? Aren't they all disciples of the Immortal God Temple?"
"But will the Palace Master agree to let us join the Fourth Palace? Will the Palace Master of the Fourth Palace want us?"
Yao Baitao chuckled, "As long as Junior Sister Ning goes to talk to the Palace Master, it will be easy. The Fourth Palace has no seed disciples right now, so the Palace Master of the Fourth Palace must be in urgent need of seed disciples who are delivered to his doorstep!"
Ji Junrui was a little moved by what Yao Baitao said, "Will Junior Sister Ning help us talk to the Palace Master?"
"Leave this to me! I'll talk to Junior Sister Ning when she comes out of seclusion."
"I don't know how long it will take for Junior Sister Ning to come out of seclusion."
Yao Baitao continued, "It should take a long time! After all, she has to give up her sword skills. During this period, we can get more useful information for her, so that we have a reason to ask her for help."
"OK."
Because of the demons' invasion of the fairy world, the Fairy Temple has not recruited disciples for a long time, and it is unknown when it will resume the assessment of recruiting disciples.
Gui Zhixuan, the Lord of the Fourth Hall, was extremely anxious. This was not good news for him.
He really wanted to go out and look for disciples, but the Temple of Immortals had rules. Only disciples who passed the assessment of the Temple of Immortals could join the Temple and even become seed disciples.
Gui Zhixuan could not disobey the rules. In the Temple of Immortals and Gods, the most important thing was the rules.
At the moment, Gui Zhixuan could only gather all the disciples of the Fourth Hall together, hoping to cultivate some talented people among them and let them pass the assessment of seed disciples and become seed disciples.
But after the assessment, Gui Zhixuan was really disappointed. These people's talents were really limited, and they had almost no chance of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm.
"Palace Master, Yao Baitao, the seed disciple of the Seventh Palace, wants to see you!" A disciple came to Gui Zhixuan's door to report.
"The Seventh Palace's Seed Disciple? Let her in!"
