"puff!"

Perhaps it was because of excessive sadness and anger, Shi Lingyun spat out a mouthful of blood, and there was a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes. Suddenly, her body tilted and she fell backwards.

Xu Yang raised his hand gently, and this light, soft and delicate body subconsciously fell into Xu Yang's arms.

"What's going on?

Your Excellency, is the Saint injured?"

Xu Yangxiu was so skilled that he could see her situation clearly just by relying on the fluctuations of the aura emanating from this girl.

"Has she been practicing some kind of heaven-defying technique recently?

This causes the Qi and blood in the body to become very weak!"

The elders and female monks of Ciyunzhai looked at each other, and finally sighed and decided not to hide anything too much.

“Your Excellency may not know that the Saint Junior Sister shoulders a heavy responsibility. Because she does not want to disappoint her master, she has used an almost lost ancient method to forcibly cultivate the Nine Apertures Exquisite State of Mind. She uses the essence and blood of her own veins as a guide to enhance her own understanding of the myriad ways of heaven and earth and forcibly break through this state of mind.

Once this method is practiced, it is a matter of life and death. Originally, Junior Sister was extremely talented and was born with seven orifices. She was a rare genius in the world, but the nine orifices are a heavenly realm. To achieve it requires a great opportunity and it cannot be achieved by one person alone. She paid everything to achieve this goal. Although the nine orifices are now achieved, the loss of her bloodline is difficult to reverse. "

After listening to the words of the great elder of Ciyunzhai, Xu Yang and the other two had more or less some understanding.

"Long Kun and Ling Yao, you two help everyone deal with the sect's affairs. I need to heal this young lady's wounds first. If I delay any further, I'm afraid her entire martial arts will be wasted."

Xu Yang's words were by no means alarmist. Shi Lingyun had chosen a shortcut to practicing Taoism, which was a way of abandoning the physical body and pursuing spiritual perfection. This was similar to the path chosen by Feng Xiu.

The difference is that Feng Xiu's method of cultivation seeks to strengthen the physical body, while this girl's method makes her body extremely fragile.

In the secret room of Ciyunzhai, there were only Xu Yang and Shi Lingyun at the moment. Xu Yang sat cross-legged behind Shi Lingyun. The phoenix god-level domain outside his body emitted a faint red light, keeping the intensity at an extremely weak state to prevent the overly violent force from hurting Shi Lingyun.

The mild effect of domain force can indeed help warm her meridians.

At the same time, Xu Yang gradually injected his purest original power into Shi Lingyun's body meridians, repairing the hidden defects in her body bit by bit. Her meridians, blood and flesh seemed to be undergoing a transformation and rebirth.

The whole process lasted for seven days and seven nights. Under the cover of this warm breath, Shi Lingyun gradually regained consciousness.

In such a large secret room, with a man and a woman alone together, the atmosphere was inevitably a little strange. More importantly, the two were not familiar with each other.

Xu Yang was fine. After all, he was a master-level figure who was used to seeing many scenes. He was very calm and remained unmoved even in the face of beauty. But Shi Lingyun was always in a state of acceptance. On the one hand, she was grateful for what Xu Yang had done for her. On the other hand, she also admired this man for his unparalleled grace.

"Thank you, Lord Xu Yang, for saving Ciyunzhai. Lingyun is grateful."

"You'd better not talk too much, your body's meridians are very weak right now.

Not to mention a master at the peak of the Tribulation Realm, even a top-level powerhouse who has just entered the Tribulation Realm can kill you easily.

With such a fragile body, you can't do anything in actual combat."

Master Lingyun understood what Xu Yang said.

But she still had her own difficulties in her heart.

"To be honest with you, the reason why I chose this quick path is because my Ciyunzhai lineage has obtained the unique enlightenment of the Heavenly Dao, and we need to send representative disciples to Yunmengze to inherit the unparalleled opportunity. This is the important reason why the Nine Apertures Linglong is about to emerge."

"oh?

Heaven's guidance?

You tell me what is going on here."

Xu Yang was stunned with some surprise. Although he didn't know much about the affairs of Yunmengze, the so-called guidance from heaven sounded unreliable. There was probably some unknown conspiracy hidden in it.

“That’s right.

Three years ago, my master, Master Ciyun, suddenly realized the true Ciyun Dharma overnight. She listened to the guidance of Heaven and learned that there was an opportunity to reverse the world in Yunmengze. If the disciples of Ciyunzhai could awaken the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart, they would have the opportunity to become gods.

Ling Yun is not talented, but because her talent is good among her peers, she is given the title of Saint and is also a candidate for the next leader.

After receiving this guidance, my master told me the news immediately. She asked herself whether she would have any further progress in this life and was afraid that she would remain in the initial stage of transcending tribulation for the rest of her life, with no chance of awakening the Nine Apertures state of mind. So she gave me the task of promoting Ciyunzhai.

It was also from Master that I learned that only by achieving the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart Realm can one enter Yunmengze."

Xu Yang naturally wouldn't believe this statement completely. Entering Yunmengze is by no means a difficult thing, but the significance of the Nine-Aperture Exquisite State of Mind is also very important. This girl's master might have come up with such an excuse to motivate Shi Lingyun.

After all, once the Nine Apertures are awakened, even if it serves as a foundation, it will give her more confidence to protect herself when she goes to Yunmengze in the future.

However, the girl was under tremendous psychological pressure and her eagerness for quick success led to hidden dangers.

"Forget it. We can discuss other matters after you come out of seclusion. Now all you need to do is to concentrate and repair your body."

…

When the two of them came out of retreat, Shi Lingyun had officially entered the initial stage of tribulation, becoming a top powerhouse at the same level as her fallen master.

And with Xu Yang's help, this girl's Nine Apertures State of Mind can now be fully applied in actual combat...

"Boss, you finally came out. The matter with Master Ciyun has been resolved. The guy covered in black clouds has not appeared again. What should we do next?"

"revenge!"

Without waiting for Xu Yang to speak, Shi Lingyun, who had recovered to his peak condition beside him, spoke with a stern expression.

“That’s right.

The hundreds of lives lost by Xiaoyao Dao Sect and the blood debt of the head nun of Ciyunzhai must all be further settled.”

Long Kun helplessly spread his hands: "Revenge is not difficult, but the difficult part is that we have no clue at all now, and we don't know the true identity of Hei Yun at all. How can we complete revenge?"

Xu Yang chuckled and glanced at Shi Lingyun beside him.

“Leave this to me.

Ciyunzhai has a secret magical power that has never been passed on to others. It can lock the approximate location of the target whose breath has remained thousands of miles away. Through this method, we can make that guy have nowhere to hide!"
