This was a gift from my senior brother, and it saved my life. Naturally, Ye Xiruo wouldn't let it go to waste. A wisp of Azure Lotus Heaven wrapped in the blue beast fire was continuously fed into the fire essence. The dim fire essence gradually became brighter. Ye Xiruo continued to send flames into it until the fire essence absorbed three wisps of Azure Lotus Heaven, and then she stopped. She would continue to send flames tomorrow. Presumably, if she continued like this for several days, the fire essence would definitely recover.
Putting away the Fire Essence, Ye Xiruo took out a high-grade spirit stone and began cultivating. The spiritual energy here was already abundant, making cultivation very smooth, and Ye Xiruo quickly entered a meditative state. Ultimately, this dangerous situation stemmed from her extremely low strength. If she had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, she wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament so easily. If it weren't for her brother Xiu Qi's rescue, she would probably have already suffered a shattered sea of consciousness and become a cripple.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to seize the time to cultivate and improve one's strength as soon as possible.
In the past few days, Mount Sainte has changed from its usual relaxed and leisurely atmosphere to one of tension and solemnity.
Elder Lian Si's lineage was almost completely wiped out, and Elder Lian Si herself was crippled and hung in the training ground.
Her disciples were all taken away by the Punishment Hall for interrogation. Those closely related to Elder Lian Si were given special attention; if they were found to have aided and abetted her, their cultivation techniques were revoked, and they were punished the same as Elder Lian Si. Those who were completely unaware of the situation were reassigned to other branches.
In just three short days, Elder Lian Si's lineage became history, and that lineage will forever remain history.
Su Shaxuan, dressed in plain clothes and holding a sword, stood in the square with an indifferent expression: "I know you are all very curious about why Elder Lian Si met such an end in Luodai."
"Elder Lian Si attempted to harm the Young Palace Master, and this time she even caused him to be seriously injured, almost affecting his foundation. That's the first thing. For so many years, Elder Lian Si has been secretly contacting the outside world and sending messages, trying to open the gates of my Saintess Peak. The third thing is that Elder Lian Si secretly sold the sacred artifact of my Saintess Peak—the Snow Crystal, which seriously threatened the safety of my Saintess Peak. Fortunately, it was discovered early this time, otherwise what awaited us would have been the extermination of our entire sect."
The elders who knew the truth were all in their caves, lamenting the sect's decline and the emergence of such a scoundrel. Meanwhile, the disciples around the plaza looked bewildered and sorrowful. Their beloved Saintess Peak, where they had grown up, was being deliberately destroyed, leaving them homeless and even facing tragic deaths.
These disciples, who hadn't experienced much in life, immediately had tears in their eyes.
"Why?"
"Why? Hasn't Mount Saint treated you well? Why did you betray Mount Saint?"
Elder Lian Si had now transformed into an old woman, her white hair flying wildly in the air, and her aged face, unrecognizable from her original appearance, was covered in blood.
"Cough cough, Holy Maiden, you will die a horrible death."
"Insolence!" Su Shaxuan slashed down with her sword, but Lu Du controlled it well, only making her feel pain, not killing her immediately.
"The victor is king, the loser is a bandit. Now that things have come to this, what else can I say? Why don't you accuse me of assassinating the Holy Maiden? Hahahaha."
Su Shaxuan's expression was rather unpleasant; she had never imagined that such a person existed on Saintess Peak, which she considered a pure land.
"Master, please admit your mistake! We beg you." The disciples who had been assigned to other branches knelt down, looking at Lian Si with pained expressions: "Master, please don't make the same mistake again."
“What did I do wrong? I deliberately tried to kill the young master. If I really wanted to kill her, she would still be alive and well, while I would be like this?” Lian Si laughed maniacally.
"Master, you've gone mad! You pushed the young master into the icy river, and the young master himself has confirmed it. Why did you do that?"
"Get out of here, all of you! Stop pretending! Holy Maiden, come out and see me! You despicable scoundrel! That so-called young palace master is just a pawn in your game. You don't want to attack me directly, so you're using that little brat to cause trouble? I said, why are you so kind as to give us a third of Xue Linglong? Xue Linglong and that little brat are all bait, bait!" Elder Lian Si spat out a mouthful of blood, her cloudy eyes filled with resentment and venom. She hated the Holy Maiden, hated Holy Maiden Peak, and wanted to destroy this place, this place full of hypocrisy.
"Shut up! You're slandering the Holy Maiden. Do you know what your crime is?"
Su Shaxuan's face was icy cold as he thrust his sword directly into Lian Si's shoulder.
"Holy Maiden, why don't you dare see me? You're the one who killed him. All these years later, don't you feel any remorse?"
"shut up."
"Stop, Xuanxuan, she's trying to provoke you into killing her." Elder Lianchi directly blocked Su Shaxuan's longsword.
“Lian Si, we both know exactly what happened back then. We both regret it, but that is not a reason for you to betray the Holy Maiden and betray Holy Maiden Peak.”
"He's dead, am I wrong to avenge him?" Unfortunately, she was about to die and still couldn't avenge him.
"He did it willingly. Have you considered whether he would forgive you in the afterlife?"
Su Shaxuan dispersed all the disciples who were watching: "This matter ends here. You should all focus on your cultivation."
"yes."
"What are you doing here, you bitch? Are you here to laugh at me?"
"Why did you do this?" Elder Lianchi channeled a wisp of true energy into Lian Si, but Qu'er didn't expect Lian Si to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"My tendons and veins are severed, even a god couldn't save me. Are you satisfied now?"
"You know in your heart how the Holy Maiden has treated you all these years. Your biggest mistake was messing with Ye Xiruo. Even the Holy Maiden can't save you now."
"I have no regrets, not even in death."
Unbeknownst to them, the saintess had somehow appeared in the square.
"Greetings, Holy Maiden."
"Get up, all of you! Put her down."
Elder Lian Si tidied her hair and sneered, "What are you doing here? Have you come to laugh at me?"
"I brought your favorite pear blossom wine."
The Holy Maiden didn't mind Lian Si's attitude and sat down directly, taking out two bottles of pear blossom wine: "Although I promised him I would take good care of you, I think I might have made a mistake. You are determined to die, so I will grant your wish."
Elder Lian Si took the pear blossom wine and took a big gulp. Tears almost streamed down her face. It tasted exactly the same. But sadly, the person who had once accompanied her to see the pear blossoms was long gone, gone.
Lianchi and Sushaxuan quietly withdrew, leaving the space to the Holy Maiden and Liansi.
"It's a pity that Ye Xi was so lucky to be saved by you."
