In front of the Kunlun Immortal Sect's mountain gate.
"Master...so Senior Han has already let go?"
"Sigh... He never let go, but fortunately, after half a lifetime of wandering, he still returns as a young man."
"What a pity... Senior Han's father was unable to witness his son's return."
"It doesn't matter anymore, girl, let's go home."
"Master, Master, why isn't it important?"
"Because the person is no longer here."
The little girl seemed to be deep in thought, and then, for some unknown reason, she fell silent. At that moment, something heavy seemed to have settled in her heart, something indescribable.
...
The master and disciple returned to the Heavenly Sword Sect. Xiao Yuhan asked Bai Yao to give the Azure Water Pearl to Nangong Ling'er, and then went to see the sect leader alone. In the sect leader's courtyard, the senior brother was huddled in his room dealing with sect documents. When he saw Xiao Yuhan return, he asked in surprise, "Junior brother, didn't you take your niece Bai Yao on a training trip? Why are you back so soon?"
Xiao Yuhan recounted the details of their trip to Kunlun to Ye Qingyun. Surprisingly, the sect leader was not as surprised as expected. He said softly, "Junior brother, I have heard about the demonic disciples. You can rest assured and take your niece Bai Yao on her training. The sect will be safe with me."
Xiao Yuhan sat down in the chair, hesitated for a moment, and then changed the subject, saying, "Senior Brother, can you sense the laws of Heaven?"
Ye Qingyun was taken aback. "After entering the Void Returning Realm, can't everyone sense it? Besides, Junior Brother, your Heavenly Punishment Thunder can only be unleashed by communicating with the laws of Heaven. Why are you asking me about something like this?"
Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment, seemingly realizing that he could indeed faintly sense it every time he used his ultimate lightning technique: "Senior brother, is it possible to change the laws of Heaven?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyun's expression turned solemn. "As far as I know, no, but it is rumored that one can glimpse the path of immortality after reaching the ninth level of the Mahayana stage. I suppose that level is possible, right?"
Xiao Yuhan fell silent. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and couldn't hold it in, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"System warning: Host, do not pry into the secrets of heaven."
The system's tone was icy this time, but a sinister smile appeared on Xiao Yuhan's lips. He knew he had guessed right this time; the system must be afraid. Even though entering the Mahayana realm to seek the path of immortality was such a distant thing, the system still wanted to suppress his possibility of exploring the Heavenly Dao.
Isn't this fear?
Xiao Yuhan said nothing and did not argue with the system again. However, he felt an unprecedented joy in his heart because he understood that the system was no longer an unapproachable entity that left him helpless. He also knew that one day he would be able to stand on an equal footing with the system and personally eliminate it.
At that moment, an even more dangerous thought arose in his mind.
However, he didn't show it, and even acted as if nothing had happened today. He stood up and looked at Ye Qingyun, who looked worried, and said, "Senior brother, I'm fine. I was probably injured when I was at Kunlun Immortal Sect."
Ye Qingyun thought for a moment, knowing that Xiao Yuhan knew what she was doing, so he didn't say anything more, but asked, "Are you going to take your junior sister Bai Yao on a training trip next? Where do you plan to go?"
Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment, "The Western Liang Demon-Suppressing Great Wall is the territory of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and also the most active place of the Demon Sect. It's a place where all sorts of people mingle, which is suitable for her to temper her character."
"Isn't this a bit too dangerous?" Ye Qingyun said.
"This trip was originally intended to investigate the Demonic Sect. If my junior sister hadn't been so eager for the Azure Water Pearl, I wouldn't have come back alone."
Ye Qingyun thought for a moment, "In that case, junior brother, please be careful!"
Xiao Yuhan nodded and prepared to leave, but after taking only a few steps, Ye Qingyun seemed to suddenly remember something. "Junior brother, wait a moment. There's something you need to keep an eye on for me."
"What is it?"
"Recently, a new immortal sect has been built in Xiliang, called the Heavenly Dao Sect. Go and investigate its true nature."
Xiao Yuhan was taken aback. "Senior brother, is this really necessary? It's just a small sect, why would it attract such attention from the leader of the number one immortal sect in the world?"
"It's not that I'm taking it seriously, just mentioning it briefly. They seem to have already taken shape. Go and investigate. If they are truly upright people, you can establish friendly relations. If they are some kind of evil sect, nip them in the bud as soon as possible." A ruthless glint flashed in Ye Qingyun's eyes.
Xiao Yuhan was somewhat surprised. Although she remembered her senior brother as a kind person, he was still the head of a sect and would not hesitate in the face of important matters.
Xiao Yuhan immediately agreed, "Senior brother, I understand!"
"By the way, there's one more thing. Recently, a sect called the Blood Lotus Sect has sprung up in Lingsu City. Have you heard of it, Junior Brother?"
Xiao Yuhan was taken aback, then quickly shook her head, "I don't know... It's been a long time since I've been to Lingsu City."
"Hey! Junior brother, don't you often take your junior sister Bai Yao to Lingsu City? Haven't you heard anything about this?"
To prevent his secret from being exposed, Xiao Yuhan quickly shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it. Why are you suddenly asking about this, Senior Brother? Is there something wrong with the Blood Lotus Sect?"
Ye Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of any wicked deeds, but recently many people in Lingsu City have been following this sect, saying that the sect leader, the Blood Lotus Great Dharma King, is a living immortal who saves people from suffering. Many people sing his praises. However, I have never met this sect leader and don't know who he is. I'm afraid that the Blood Lotus Sect is a cult that bewitches people."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan broke out in a cold sweat, her brows furrowing. She thought to herself, "Zhang Chengfeng must have used some tricks to develop the Snow Lotus Sect, right? What kind of Blood Lotus Grand Dharma King is that? How could he come up with such a childish title?"
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yuhan quickly shook his head, indicating that he really didn't know the situation. He then bowed and took his leave, fleeing in haste.
After leaving his senior brother's villa, Xiao Yuhan went to see his junior sister, Nangong Ling'er, and told her about Bai Yuanzhou. Unexpectedly, after listening, his junior sister's expression became extremely serious, and she immediately asked, "Senior brother, is what you said true?"
"Of course it's true, what's wrong? Is there anything strange about it?"
Nangong Ling'er took out the Azure Water Pearl and then said, "Is Bai Yuanzhou really dead?"
"I saw it with my own eyes."
The junior sister sighed and murmured, "What a pity. If he had actually succeeded, he might have been able to severely damage the demon disciples of the Heavenly Demon Abyss!"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yuhan asked, somewhat surprised.
Nangong Ling'er shook her head helplessly, seemingly genuinely regretting Bai Yuanzhou's death. "He was researching how to turn demon disciples back into normal people. Didn't Senior Brother consider this question: are all the demon disciples in Tianmo Valley enemies? What if some of them were acting against their will? From what we know now, although we don't know the true purpose of those demon disciples, we can basically define them as enemies. If Bai Yuanzhou can really complete his experiment, it might just be something that changes the world."
