Although Ye Sisi felt that freezing time directly was the safest and most convenient option, she decided to trust Su Jiuli because of her long-standing trust in him.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and a tremendous reversal caught the three senior and junior disciples completely off guard.
They spent ages preparing, hoping to sneak in unnoticed, but then their men just left on their own.
The search team was alright; they had been searching for three days without finding anyone, so it made sense for them to move to another location and continue searching.
But what kind of place is the Hall of Reception? It's a place that receives countless cultivators from lower planes.
There are countless small worlds like Cangjing. Although not all cultivators from small worlds will be guided here, at least half of the cultivators from lower planes will have this as their first stop.
If she were a demon, she would definitely send people to guard this place for a long time. All the cultivators coming up below would be at the Nascent Soul stage, and if she were to catch them off guard, she could kill them one by one.
There's no way they would send a team and then withdraw after only three days of garrisoning. How could someone with a screw loose give such an order?
No, no, this situation can only mean that something happened outside, that a fight must have broken out, and that people had to be transferred away.
Ye Sisi's eyes widened with joy at the thought of this possibility; it was truly a stroke of luck!
"Hiding the head, is there a fight outside?"
"Probably. The clone is still out there gathering intelligence. There's no movement here right now, but the demons are all heading towards Qinglan City and the Demon Spider Mountains."
Su Jiuli and Lin Shuangluo also felt lucky; if the demons were truly driven back, it would be easier for them to leave this place.
After another half day, there was no further movement in Xinghuo City.
Many demonic cultivators and demonic beasts fled in all directions, while many other cultivators pursued them.
The city, which had been quiet for most of the day, suddenly became noisy, with all sorts of booming sounds filling the air.
Ye Sisi and Lin Shuangluo were left in the space by Su Jiuli, while he went out to find a place to prepare to receive his junior brothers and sisters who could come up at any time.
This is the drawback of poor communication, and the two people usually don't come up one after the other, so there will definitely be a time difference in between.
I just hope that the people fighting won't come this way, so they can lie low and receive people in peace.
However, things didn't go as planned. Not long after Su Jiuli went out to wait, a reception formation appeared on the ground of the reception hall.
As luck would have it, a blood-soaked demonic cultivator happened to escape here, followed by a white-robed male cultivator with a gun.
Su Jiuli thought to herself that things were not good, and that she definitely couldn't hold out any longer.
The demonic cultivator and the male cultivator were also taken aback, clearly not expecting someone to come down from a lower plane at this time.
However, after a moment of stunned silence, the two resumed their battle.
The demonic cultivator was seriously injured and was being completely overwhelmed by the white-robed male cultivator.
If this continues, this demonic cultivator will soon be dead.
What really annoyed Su Jiuli was that the two of them ended up fighting right up to the edge of the guiding array.
Moreover, judging from the demonic cultivator's frenzied appearance, it was clear that he intended to self-destruct and take someone with him.
But damn it, what did his junior brothers and sisters do to deserve this undeserved disaster?
So he acted decisively, and before the demonic cultivator could react, he severed the cultivator's head with a single sword strike.
The man with the gun was taken aback. He hadn't expected there to be anyone else here. Just as he was about to question Su Jiuli about who she was and why she was here, the light of the guiding array dimmed, and a young man in blue appeared before him.
Su Jiuli pulled Ye Shubai back quickly, creating some distance between them, and said, "Fellow Daoist, I apologize for my earlier offense. I am Su Jiuli, and I meant no harm. I was just here to guide my junior brother."
Lu Xueyi frowned. "You were supposed to guide him, how did you know he would come up at this time?"
"And how can you prove that he is your junior brother?"
Ye Shubai, still feeling dizzy, finally came to his senses. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, it didn't stop him from answering Lu Xueyi's question: "No need to prove it, he was originally my senior brother, and we agreed to break through together."
Lu Xueyi...
Is this even possible? Are all cultivators in lower planes this powerful these days? They even have to break through to the Nascent Soul stage together. There were two like that before.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a dusty gray crystal and tossed it to Su Jiuli: "Enter your spiritual power into it to confirm that you haven't been implanted with a demonic seed, and then I'll let you leave."
Su Jiuli nodded and readily complied.
After all, the difference in strength is obvious. If the other party really wants to make a move, they don't need to waste words. They can distract themselves and attack from the other side. Even if it's one against two, the chances of winning are not high.
The dull gray crystal instantly turned into a translucent white.
Lu Xueyi nodded: "Alright, you can go now. Give me back the Spirit Purification Stone."
Su Jiuli tossed the Spirit Purification Stone back and clasped her hands in thanks.
Although this person looks a bit cold, he has a good temper; otherwise, he wouldn't have dragged his feet for so long.
If you encounter someone with a bad temper, they might be willing to kill someone just in case, especially during special times, when it's better to kill the wrong person than let one go free.
Su Jiuli and his companions were quite lucky to encounter a reasonable and good-tempered cultivator.
After accepting the Spirit Purification Stone, Lu Xueyi nodded slightly. She looked at the two young men with remarkable bearing and said, "Qinglan Domain is not safe right now. Since you just arrived, why don't you come back to the sect with me?"
Su Jiuli...
After all that, it turns out this person is just cold on the outside, but actually has a warm heart.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, but I need to wait for my junior sister, so I won't trouble you any further."
Lu Xueyi...
What the heck? After all that, it turns out it wasn't just two people who made the appointment, it was three! Could things get any crazier?
