Li Chen said he didn't go in, so Yaoxian Valley didn't suspect him. Later, he revealed that he was a sixth-grade alchemist, and Yaoxian Valley became suspicious. However, someone saw him cultivating in the cave, and the people outside the gate did not see him return. So they completely missed the correct answer.
...
Then comes the sect competition. In order to showcase the sect's strength to the whole continent, Taiyi Sect often invites various sects to watch the competition. If anyone is itching to show off their skills, they can also have a friendly sparring session with the sect's disciples after the competition.
Generally speaking, one shouldn't use magical artifacts, as it depends on one's own strength. However, Li Chen was unruly and relied on a high-quality sword, the protection of the Dark Light Shield, and illusionary harassment to win.
Such a victory was naturally unacceptable, so after defeating Xiao Lingchuan, he reached out to help him up, but his spiritual consciousness condensed into a thorn and stabbed him.
This was a spiritual skill he obtained from a ruin, the place where an evil cultivator fell. Naturally, this skill was extremely malevolent. If one were to be touched even slightly, one's spiritual consciousness would weaken; if one were to be stabbed directly, one's soul might be scattered.
Xiao Lingchuan sensed danger and tried to dodge, but his natal sword simultaneously unleashed a burst of sword energy to protect its master.
Outsiders were unaware of the undercurrents of conflict; they only saw Xiao Lingchuan launch a surprise attack after his defeat.
Li Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, feigning shock, but inwardly he thought viciously: Xiao Lingchuan, you're finished.
Everyone was shocked by Xiao Lingchuan's "shamelessness," so Li Chen's reliance on external means to win was no big deal.
After the sect competition ended, Xiao Lingchuan was once again imprisoned on the Cliff of Repentance, and Li Chen replaced him as the senior disciple of the Taiyi Sect, enjoying immense prestige.
Venerable Yuqing was facing a breakthrough and had been in seclusion for many years, with the Grand Elder managing affairs of Yunxiao Peak. The Grand Elder had a fight with the Sect Master, and the Peak Master of Liangyi Peak joined in the argument. In the end, they managed to bring Xiao Lingchuan out and put him under solitary confinement, which was actually just sending him into seclusion.
After a year of seclusion, the Grand Elder could not find any evidence to clear Xiao Lingchuan's name. The Shadow Pearl on the dueling platform that day did not record what Li Chen did at all; it only saw Xiao Lingchuan's natal spirit sword suddenly erupt with sword energy and injure people.
A year later, Venerable Yuqing emerged from seclusion and deduced the secrets of heaven. He discovered that the heavenly way of this place seemed to be obscured by something, and the operation of all things was in great trouble. At this time, Li Chen happened to come looking for Xiao Lingchuan.
He didn't have a chance to say what exactly he was going to do, because at first glance, Venerable Yuqing saw the strangeness in him and wanted to capture him to find out what was going on. However, Li Chen received a reminder from the system and made his move first.
The protective sword energy of the Spirit Sword Venerable is domineering and powerful, and not easy to break, but Yu Zhen knows that Yu Qing has a fatal weakness, which is that his spiritual consciousness is fragile.
However, the protective sword energy cannot prevent sneak attacks from spiritual senses.
It wasn't that he was weak, but rather that he was fragile, because his spiritual consciousness had been shattered before. If it weren't for the intervention of the previous Valley Master of Medicine Immortal Valley, he would probably have perished long ago.
Li Chen, who had plundered millions of people and had repeatedly encountered opportunities, possessed a powerful spiritual sense. He directly shattered Yu Qing's spiritual sense once again, causing him to fall into a coma and his protective sword energy to break down on its own.
He then imitated Yunxiao Peak's sword techniques and wounded him. However, the Spirit Venerable Realm cultivator had extremely strong recovery abilities and healed quickly. But the sword techniques on his clothes could not be faked.
Then came the counterfeiting of the Trace Pearl.
The Shadow Bead can only record real images, but this one seems to have been tampered with and can be directly faked.
He had made himself look terrible again and was about to tear open the teleportation talisman to leave when he remembered that the Taiyi Mirror seemed to have been borrowed by Venerable Yuqing to comprehend the secrets of heaven.
So he searched again, found the Taiyi Mirror, and put it away before fleeing towards Canghan Peak, shouting, "Sect Master, save me! Master, save me!"
Li Chen handed over the Shadow Pearl. He was a bit clever; he didn't include the Taiyi Mirror in it, since he had been discovered and escaped beforehand.
Afterwards, Li Chen went to Biyun Peak to heal his injuries. After recovering, he learned that Xiao Lingchuan had escaped and volunteered to pursue and capture him and retrieve the Taiyi Mirror.
