Xue Junhan and the others were naturally very dissatisfied with this result. It was clearly Yue Ran Valley who was looking for death, so why should Zishu be sent to the Cliff of Contemplation?
The people of Yue Ran Valley were so angry at seeing their injured alchemist that they wanted to tear Zi Shu apart. In the end, to prevent Zi Shu from being harmed by Yue Ran Valley in Hao Qi Pavilion, Xue Junhan and the others agreed to let Zi Shu go to the Cliff of Repentance, and that was the end of the matter.
Naturally, both sides were dissatisfied with the outcome, especially Yueqing. After waking up, he learned that Zishu had injured so many of their men, yet he had only been put in solitary confinement. He couldn't accept it; he couldn't accept the reality that he had been defeated by Zishu, nor could he accept Zishu's lenient punishment.
Therefore, Yueqing launched her revenge, and her first target was Yingxun. If it weren't for Yingxun, they wouldn't have clashed with Zishu, wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses, lost face, or brought shame upon their sect.
Of course, Zishu and his gang will not let him go. From now on, they will kill Zishu no matter where he is.
Unfortunately, Yingxun left early and returned late every day, acting mysteriously. He sent people to follow him for several days, but they couldn't find any trace of Yingxun.
Finally, news came today that Yingxun was stuck on the road, but before he could get there, those good-for-nothings had already returned.
They were stopped by Su Ran from the Haoqi Pavilion. Yue Qing had heard of Su Ran's name, but she did not expect that Su Ran and her group would be so well-informed and arrive so quickly.
Yueqing didn't even consider that they were currently on the territory of the Haoqi Pavilion, not their Yueran Valley, yet they wanted to cause trouble for the Haoqi Pavilion disciples at will. It was truly laughable.
The group of alchemists, whose mission had failed, all hung their heads, being scolded mercilessly, but dared not refute.
"Senior brother, today was an accident. I don't believe that Su Ran can save him every time."
"Yes, Su Ran brought far too many people today, otherwise we would have made our move long ago."
"Yingxun, Yingxun, your luck is truly extraordinary. How come you always seem to encounter benefactors who come to your rescue? I refuse to believe you can stay this lucky forever." Yueqing smashed the teacup in her hand.
"Get out of here, all of you. You'd better behave yourselves these next few days. If we don't succeed today, we'll definitely alert them. Don't give them any leverage."
"Yes, senior brother, we understand."
Yueqing waved her hand, and the group of alchemists left with a sigh of relief. This made Yueqing's anger rise again. These fools were good for nothing and good for making things worse.
Yue Qing took out a bottle of pills from his spatial ring and swallowed them. His complexion improved somewhat afterward. Zi Shu's palm strike had injured his internal organs, preventing him from fighting for a month. This was the real reason for Yue Qing's anger.
As for Yingxun, they were lucky today. If Su Ran hadn't come, he would have kept them all in bed for the rest of the day, preventing them from causing trouble in Haoqi Pavilion.
Ye Xiruo and Zishu lived a very regular life. The hurricanes and blizzards outside the cave were not always there; they followed a certain pattern. They would blow about four times a day, each time lasting an hour and a half.
When the hurricane came, the two of them practiced their cultivation on the edge of the cave, experiencing both pain and joy. After the hurricane passed, Ye Xiruo was usually exhausted and needed to sit down and meditate to regulate her breathing.
Zishu will cultivate within the Spirit Gathering Array.
Once Ye Xiruo recovers, she will prepare a meal. Ye Xiruo's spatial ring is always full of all kinds of ingredients, as well as semi-finished dishes, finished dishes, and a large amount of spiritual wine. No matter when, she can always put on a large feast.
Zishu was quite satisfied with this and never again told Ye Xiruo to leave quickly.
The arduous daily training has not been without results. Ye Xiruo's physical body is now at least three times stronger than before, her mental strength has also increased significantly, and her true essence has become even more solidified under the cutting force of the hurricane.
Zishu noticed these changes and said, "Junior Sister, I think you'll have to stay with me down there for a while longer."
"I came down here just to see you."
Ye Xiruo cooked a pot of fresh fish soup and fish balls today, and also added some fish ball noodles. She sprinkled a lot of coriander leaves into the soup, which smelled exceptionally delicious.
"Even the celestial realm couldn't be more like this."
"I've heard that even a weed in the immortal realm is a spiritual herb."
"Probably, anyway, I'll go sooner or later. Aren't you worried about Xiu Qiyu while you're here with me?"
“What could possibly happen to Brother Xiu Qi at the Heavenly Sword Sect? Before he left, the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect repeatedly assured me that Brother Xiu Qi would be safe. The swordsman I have my eye on is Xiu Qi Yu. Even if Xiu Qi Yu dies, no one else has a chance. There’s no reason why they don’t understand what I mean.”
"Then you can stay here and cultivate in peace. We can talk about anything else after we get out."
"Senior Brother, when do you plan to finish your cultivation and go up to the Sword Mountain of the Heavenly Sword Sect? You haven't even seen it yet."
"We'll talk about it later. As for climbing Sword Mountain, with our physical condition, we'll probably only be able to stay at the foot of the mountain and watch others enjoy the view from the top."
That makes a lot of sense.
After receiving Ye Xiruo's message, Xiu Qiyu of the Heavenly Sword Sect did not change his expression at all; he remained as calm as ever.
Ye Liusha's injuries have almost fully recovered thanks to the nourishment of the spiritual water.
However, to avoid arousing suspicion from others, Ye Liusha stayed in the courtyard and did not go out.
However, Xiu Qiyu only knew that Ye Liusha's desire to see Master Ku Wu had not been extinguished. His current inaction did not mean that he had really given up, but rather that he was accumulating strength in preparation for the next challenge to the desolate peak.
"Why not wait a bit? You haven't been to Sword Mountain yet, and you haven't felt the sword intent of the Heavenly Sword either. Why not wait until you are stronger before going to the Desolate Peak?"
"For me, Huangfeng is a goal that I must achieve at this stage."
"What if you can't complete it? You'll die." Although Xiu Qiyu hadn't personally witnessed or experienced the terror of those six challenges, judging from the casualty rate, they were definitely among the highest in the entire Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Those who died were not geniuses."
"Xiao Yezi is trying to figure something out, so don't make any rash moves."
"I won't, I'm going into seclusion."
"Congratulations. I will prepare spiritual wine for you when you emerge from seclusion."
Ye Liusha announced that he was in seclusion, and he truly was. The rumors surrounding him gradually faded away. However, most people believed that Ye Liusha's injuries were too severe and that he was probably not far from death. Seclusion was a death trap; if he couldn't survive it, then death was the only outcome.
