"So, you climbed up here?"
The corners of He Sumi's lips twitched slightly. The moment Shen Sui saw her, he seemed to be liberated and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
Hearing He Sumi's question, Shen Xinglan nodded.
Shen Sui felt like she was dying of exhaustion. She heard He Sumi say, "Didn't you tell your junior sister that we have a teleportation array at the bottom of the peak that goes directly to the top?"
Shen Sui: “???”
Shen Xinglan smiled and said, "Isn't this to improve her physical fitness?"
Shen Sui felt like he was going completely crazy.
He Sumi rolled his eyes: "Only your junior sister, who has just entered the sect, would believe your nonsense."
Shen Xinglan felt Shen Sui's angry glare, but he pretended to ignore it and asked He Sumi, "I heard that you and Senior Brother Fang found a cave of Hundred Fruit Wine in the secret realm?"
He Sumi nodded: "Why, you want to make some? Don't you dislike drinking?"
"I suddenly wanted to try it. How much do you have?" Shen Xinglan asked.
He Sumi took out two pots from the mustard bracelet and handed them to Shen Xinglan: "It's not much, but I don't like drinking this stuff. Since you want it, take it."
"Brother Fang, how was your trip to the secret realm?" Shen Xinglan took it without hesitation, and then asked casually.
He Sumi waved his hand lazily: "Okay, I understand what you mean. Wait here, I'll go in and ask for you."
"Thank you very much." Shen Xinglan watched her figure disappear in front of the hall door.
Then Shen Xinglan handed the two pots of Hundred Fruit Wine to Shen Sui: "Here, keep them."
"Is Senior Sister He so easy to talk to?" Chen Sui put the two pots of Hundred Fruit Wine given to her by Shen Xinglan into the mustard bracelet and asked curiously. You know, when they met before, none of these direct disciples seemed easy to talk to.
Shen Xinglan shook her head. "She's very calculating. She's so nice to me, but it's only because she owes me a favor."
Shen Sui nodded, but didn't ask any further questions. After all, this involved privacy.
At this time, He Sumi came out of the hall carrying two pots of fruit wine: "Are you two going to the main hall later?"
"What are you going to the main hall for?" Chen Sui was very confused.
He Sumi was surprised. "You still don't know? It's about this year's competition. My master has already gone to the main hall for a meeting, and then the news came from the front, asking the disciples to go to the main hall."
"In that case," Shen Xinglan touched his chin, "I remember when Shen Sui and I were halfway up the mountain, something fell on my head."
Chen Sui's eyes widened, and she immediately began to dig out something from her sleeve. After searching for a long time, she finally pulled out a crumpled piece of paper: "Brother, didn't you say this thing is useless? You still let me use it as a cushion for my butt."
"I didn't pay much attention to it," Shen Xinglan said with a smile, "Senior Sister went into seclusion, so the news was passed to me. I forgot about it."
He Sumi: "......"
After coming down from Xuansheng Peak, Chen Sui and Shen Xinglan headed straight for the main hall. On the way, Shen Xinglan asked Chen Sui, "Can you go and secretly learn some of Master's formations? It's so troublesome to walk."
"Isn't it good to improve your physical fitness?" Shen Sui said in a muffled voice without turning his head.
Shen Xinglan: “…”
He actually used his words to interrupt him again. Even though I didn't tell you that you can use formations to climb Xuansheng Peak, I climbed with you! We should also have the friendship of senior and junior brothers and sisters climbing mountains together, okay?
Fortunately, Xuansheng Peak is not very far from the main hall. When Chen Sui and Shen Xinglan arrived, most of the direct disciples who were already in the main hall had already come. He Sumi said that she and Senior Brother Fang would come over after refining the magic weapons found in the secret realm. So, in addition to Xie Wanyu who was in seclusion and Xuansheng’s two direct disciples, there were still two who had not arrived.
Moreover, he didn't see his two uncles Xuan Guang and Xuan Chen either. It was strange to say, but Chen Sui had a very deep impression. When Xuan Guang came to call Xie Wanyu to start the Feixian Boat, Xuan Guang's expression seemed very gloomy.
But Xuan Dao asked them all to sit down.
"I believe everyone should know that this year's competition is different." Xuan Dao looked around at everyone in the main hall and said in a deep voice.
Everyone in the hall responded in unison.
"Three months from now, I and the two Peak Masters will personally lead you to the Kunlun Realm to participate in the Immortal Discussion Conference, which will be held again after hundreds of years among the Three Realms. This conference will be filled with experts, and there is a high possibility of life-and-death battles during the competition. Therefore, in the three months leading up to the Kunlun Realm, you must be fully prepared. Do you understand?"
The ten disciples said in unison: "Understood!"
"Xuansheng," Xuandao said, looking at Xuansheng standing beside him. "Next, tell them about the general situation of this Immortal Discussion Conference."
"Okay, senior brother." Xuansheng nodded.
He glanced around at his ten disciples, his eyes filled with a complex expression. "Before this, I have to tell you something very painful and heartbreaking."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the direct disciples became solemn. Chen Sui was so nervous that she felt her heart was in her throat. When she thought about the two direct disciples whom she had not seen from beginning to end, she already had a vague ominous guess in her heart.
"You were supposed to have two companions, direct disciples of your Uncle Xuanguang and Uncle Xuanchen. However, they encountered the Ghost Blood Vine in the secret realm and unfortunately perished while trying to protect the other disciples."
Xuansheng said solemnly, "Here, all of us shall observe a moment of silence for half an incense stick for the two disciples who have tragically passed away."
Shen Sui lowered her head and stared at the back of her hand on her knees. Her body was trembling slightly, and no one knew what was going on in her mind at this moment.
She recalled the scene when she killed Zhou Yixing. Although she knew that she was saving Zhou Yixing's soul, even in the cold lake water, she could still feel the almost boiling blood flowing out of Zhou Yixing's body when he lost his vitality.
And it was very strange. At the moment of killing Zhou Yixing, even though she tried hard to ignore that feeling, it still stubbornly took root in her mind. On the contrary, the more she ignored it, the clearer it became. She could even strangely call that feeling a feeling of relief.
It felt very slight.
Shen Xinglan beside him coughed lightly, and Chen Sui woke up as if from a dream, only to find that half an incense stick of time had already passed, and Xuansheng had already started talking about some precautions for the Immortal Discussion Conference.
"...The Immortal Discussion Conference will be broadcast live to the entire Three Realms via projection stone. The participants are all direct disciples from the Three Realms, a total of forty-three sects. As for the venue, it will be provided by the super sect Yanshen Sect of Kunlun Realm as usual.
"According to the information transmitted from there, the venue has now been divided into the outer field and the inner field. The outer field is an elimination match, which will randomly present a large-scale scene from the Kunlun Ruins Secret Realm. The outer field will be declared over only after the hundreds of participating disciples are eliminated and only a hundred remain..."
