All the disciples of the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion, including the young kids who had just come out, fell silent. They stared blankly at the two blood-covered figures. Weren't those the Void Refining cultivators? How could they be defeated so easily?
Chen Ling stepped forward, and Liu Mengqing and the others obediently retreated behind her, their eyes sparkling, especially their gazes toward Lin Shuangluo and Ye Shubai.
Although they were injured, their injuries were not serious, and they were good-looking.
"You may leave. The feud between our two sects will be settled, but not now."
Ye Sisi released her pressure on the Tianli Sect disciples. Two Tianli Sect elders, who looked quite miserable, stood up unsteadily, and the other disciples also grimaced as they got up from the ground.
Actually, they only looked bad; their injuries weren't serious. They could be back to their old selves after a few months of recuperation. Otherwise, given Ye Shubai and Lin Shuangluo's methods of dealing with those Void Refinement stage demonic cultivators and demonic beasts, these two would probably be dead by now. After all, these two are cowards who don't even dare to go to the battlefield; how could they compare to them?
One of the Refinement Void Elders glanced at Chen Ling but said nothing. Discretion is the better part of valor; it would be foolish to fight a losing battle. At worst, they would simply refrain from provoking the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion for the time being.
After all the capable and mentally unstable guys are dead, they can come back. There's plenty of time; there's no rush.
Ye Sisi inexplicably understood the old man's gaze, and her eyes narrowed slightly. Before the old man could turn around, she turned to the head of Sect Leader Chen beside her and asked, "Sect Leader Chen, who is this?"
Although Chen Ling was somewhat puzzled, she still explained, "It's Elder Nie Tianqi of the Tianli Sect."
Nie Tianqi looked at Ye Sisi with a puzzled expression. Didn't they say we could leave? What's going on?
Ye Sisi's beautiful red lips curved slightly, her eyes crinkled into crescents, and she said cheerfully, "Elder Nie Tianqi, take care, see you next time."
Nie Tianqi felt completely bewildered. What was going on? He didn't understand at all. What goodbye? Never again, okay?
Since he couldn't understand it anyway, he simply ignored it. He figured he would get his revenge someday; a gentleman's revenge is never too late. The most important thing now was to get out of there as soon as possible.
Most people present did not understand what Ye Sisi meant, but Ye Shubai and Ouyang Yanyu understood immediately. In the next battle, this elder named Nie Tianqi would not be able to escape. Indeed, if he didn't even dare to go to the battlefield, what kind of immortality was he?
With the matter resolved, the members of the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion calmed down considerably. Ouyang Yanyu decided to break through at the Tribulation Peak of the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion, while Ye Sisi and the others naturally stayed behind to protect her before heading to the Heavenly Sword Abyss together.
Ouyang Yanyu's tribulation was within her tolerance range. It was dangerous, but the danger level was not very high. Considering her and Lin Shuangluo's tribulations, it seemed that the Heavenly Dao had encountered another problem. But it was good that there was a problem. She hoped that the Heavenly Dao would bring about its own demise and not have time to cause trouble.
Ye Sisi and the other two were already at the Refinement stage, so it was particularly easy for them to collect Heavenly Thunder Seeds around them. Several of the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion's Divine Souls also came to collect Heavenly Thunder Seeds. This stuff is the most useful for dealing with the Demon Clan.
The commotion at the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion naturally did not escape the notice of others, so Nie Tianqi and the others, who had just returned to the Heavenly Departure Sect, looked extremely grim.
Unsurprisingly, it was Ouyang Yanyu, that little girl from the lower realm, who was undergoing her tribulation this time.
So, what are the origins of these people, and how did the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion get involved with them? Including Ouyang Yanyu, that makes four Void Refinement cultivators. Moreover, the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion itself has an old, immortal Void Refinement cultivator, making a total of five. How can they possibly fight against the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion?
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gone to cause trouble. Given the personalities of those people from the Yin Sword Pavilion, things might have been peaceful. But what should I do now? Should I run away now?
Ye Sisi and the others naturally didn't know that Nie Tianqi and the others could be so cowardly. After Ouyang Yanyu stabilized her cultivation, the four of them bid farewell and left the Immortal Sound Sword Pavilion, preparing to return to the Heavenly Sword Abyss.
Walking along the road, Ye Sisi looked up at the sky. It was a clear blue sky with clouds drifting by. It was hard to imagine what the sky rift was like. It was clearly a world where one side seemed to be a peaceful and prosperous era, while the other side was full of corpses and slaughter.
Sometimes, in the heat of battle, people don't think about anything else. Yet, this peaceful and prosperous world can harbor filth and corruption. Why can people's hearts be so complicated?
The four returned to the Heavenly Sword Abyss and resumed their self-destructive cultivation, only this time with fewer people.
Some died in the land of demon slaying, some stayed in the sect, and some went elsewhere to train. It was as if a great battle had changed everything, yet it also seemed as if nothing had changed, as if the world was always meant to be this way.
Ye Sisi had no idea how long she had been in the Heavenly Sword Abyss—was it a year, two years, or another three years? Finally, on this day, she reached the bottom of the abyss.
For the first time, she stepped onto the damp ground at the bottom of the Heavenly Sword Abyss. Here, there was no omnipresent sword energy; it was as if she had reached the end.
She walked slowly on the barren ground. If she remembered correctly, Xiangyang should be here, but she couldn't see anyone.
The reason why people who have been down there before don't talk about what's happening down there is because there's nothing there at all; it's a deliberate scam.
Was Su Jiuli making them walk back and forth through the Heavenly Sword Abyss purely to subject them to a living hell? Something just doesn't feel right.
After walking back and forth, Ye Sisi still didn't see Xiang Yang or notice anything unusual. She couldn't help but twitch her lips.
I thought that after all the hard work over the years, braving wind and rain, and masochistically jumping down to the bottom of the abyss, I would finally get some special reward, like a treasure or some amazing sword technique, or at least some light orb like the one that boosts your cultivation when you clear the Seven Star Tower. But I got nothing at all, not even a blade of grass. It's really unbelievable.
So she's going to maintain this tradition, continue to trick people—no, continue to perpetuate this well-intentioned lie? Well, sharing happiness is better than keeping it to herself, right? How kind she is.
Just as she was lost in thought and preparing to head home, everything around her dissolved like an oil painting.
Lines of ancient golden characters slowly appeared before her eyes, as if someone were gently unfolding a scroll in front of her.
Once the painting was fully completed, Ye Sisi couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling.
Those who have followed this far are true fans. I said before that this book would be completed by the end of next month at the latest, and it is now slowly coming to an end. If I forget to fill in any plot holes, please remind me. Sometimes my brain is really not good enough, and I'm afraid I won't even remember some of the plot holes myself.
