Chapter 55 The true identity of the masked man is...
Diziju
After Wen Yao left, Ye Li got out of bed.
This is the residence of the registered disciples, located at the foot of the Tianmen Sect.
Looking up from here, the mountain peaks meet the white clouds, shrouded in mist.
Ye Li's eyes turned cold.
However, in this pristine place, a demon has been hiding all along!
That day, she used the Soul Offering Spell to perish together with the masked man. This move meant that no matter if he was a demon, a ghost, or a monster, he would have no chance of survival.
But he wasn't any of those; he was a Daoist cultivator!
Moreover, he is a Daoist cultivator from the Heavenly Gate Sect!
Ye Li could clearly see the technique he used to break the formation; it was the "Six Paths Purification Method," a technique that only the sect leader and elders of the Heavenly Gate Sect could practice.
That's why she was so shocked at the time.
She had always thought that the masked man was a descendant of the Wuqi Clan, as the Grand Elder had mentioned. But what if this person was a member of the Tianmen Sect, or even an elder or the head of a sect?
Even more so, it was a senior colleague she often saw...
Ye Li suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, as if a pair of eyes had been watching her from behind.
So he wore a mask and deliberately made his voice hoarse, not to play tricks, but because he was afraid she would recognize him!
No wonder Huang Guang, a Daoist cultivator, would be at his beck and call; he's a member of the Tianmen Sect!
Her body disappeared without a trace; he must have taken it with him, perhaps...
Ye Li's expression was solemn; her body was right here in the Tianmen Sect.
Hey! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and heat up some bathwater for me!
Receiving no response, Jiang Mengyao stormed over, and seeing Ye Li looking up, she scoffed.
"What, are you dreaming of entering the inner sect? Forget the inner sect, a piece of trash like you won't even make it into the outer sect. The outer sect assessment is the day after tomorrow, and if you're still at the bottom, you'll be kicked out!"
She dusted off her clothes. "But I'm different. I'm in the Qi Refining stage, so I'll definitely be selected for the outer sect. Oh no, I might even be selected for the inner sect."
"If you're willing to kneel down and beg me now, I might teach you a move or two. Otherwise, hmph, you can just wait to die!"
Just as Jiang Mengyao was waiting with her arms crossed for Jiang Li to kowtow and admit her mistake, the other woman only looked at her with extreme surprise, "You, a Qi Refining stage cultivator, are you going to teach me?"
Ye Li was exceptionally talented from a young age. The Qi Refining stage occupied a very small portion of her memories, and she seemed to have barely reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
She simply couldn't understand what the Qi Refining stage could teach her.
That suspicious look stung Jiang Mengyao. "What are you pretending for, you piece of trash who hasn't even succeeded in Qi Refining! You think you can get into the inner sect just by currying favor with Senior Brother Wen Yao? Don't dream! You can't even get into the outer sect, let alone the Lotus Sect!"
These words reminded Ye Li.
The disciples of the Tianmen Sect are clearly divided into ranks. At present, she is only a nominal disciple and cannot even go to the inner sect at will, let alone investigate who the Ghost-Faced Man is.
To gain entry into the inner circle, one must excel in the assessment.
"Hey! Didn't you hear me? I'm a Qi Refining stage cultivator!"
Ye Li snapped out of her daze and nodded perfunctorily, "Well, there's nothing shameful about being in the Qi Refining stage. Just work hard and break through as soon as possible."
Jiang Mengyao was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening and started cursing at Ye Li's back.
"You bastard! How dare you mock me! I'll eliminate you first in the assessment the day after tomorrow, to teach you a lesson for your arrogant words!"
-
Speaking of the assessment, Ye Li also found it challenging.
It's not that I'm afraid of failing, but that I'm afraid of winning too conspicuously.
After all, she is only a nominal disciple now. If she uses the spiritual power of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, wouldn't she expose herself?
So, under the moonlight, Ye Li found a secluded place to cultivate alone.
Let's see how to win in just the right way without revealing our true strength.
In the end, Ye Li chose to use swordsmanship.
Combat techniques easily reveal one's cultivation level, while sword techniques are much more discreet.
Those who cultivate immortality often use spiritual energy and incantations, supplemented by sword techniques.
Ye Li has always been serious, and whenever she practices, she practices to the extreme.
Even in terms of swordsmanship alone, she would not be at a disadvantage.
Under the moonlight, the woman wore a gray Taoist robe and held a long sword.
The swords moved like a swift storm, leaving no room for error.
The sword reflected the cold light of the moon, and a pair of eyes were as clear and cold as the moon.
When she sheathed her sword, Ye Li was slightly out of breath, clearly because Jiang Li's body was too weak to sustain the exertion for long.
"Senior Sister?!"
A trembling voice sounded from behind.
As soon as Ye Li turned around, she was hugged tightly by someone with immense strength, whose body was trembling with excitement.
"Senior sister, I knew you wouldn't abandon me. You're back, aren't you?"
"I'm sorry, senior sister. You've been so strict with me all these years, all for my sake. I was out of my mind."
"You can scold me, you can hit me, but don't abandon me, senior sister..."
Yuan Ce held Ye Li and cried like a child.
Since being sent to the outer sect by Master Qingyu, Yuan Ce no longer had the privileges he had before. He finally understood why Ye Li had hidden the fact that he was born with a rebellious bone.
He felt immense regret, regretting not listening to his senior sister and even more regretting his previous disrespect towards her.
He originally intended to wait for his senior sister to return so he could properly confess his sins, but a few days ago he heard a lot of rumors that his senior sister had gone astray and that she was dead.
He didn't believe that his senior sister could not have died.
Sure enough, he finally waited for his senior sister!
Yuan Ce had a lot to say to Ye Li, but she pushed him away and said coldly, "You've mistaken me for someone else."
How could that be? He's watched his senior sister practicing swordsmanship for ten years; he definitely wouldn't mistake her.
"Senior sister, are you unwilling to forgive me? I..."
He froze when he looked at the other person's face.
strangeness.
This person is not my senior sister.
Only their eyes are somewhat similar.
Yuan Ce didn't understand. He had seen it clearly just now, so how could he be wrong?
He frowned. "Who are you? Why do you know Senior Sister's swordsmanship?"
Ye Li countered, "What's wrong with me practicing the Tianmen Sect sword technique as a disciple of the Tianmen Sect?"
Yuan Ce remained silent, staring intently at Ye Li's face as if he wanted to bore a hole through it.
Ye Li didn't want to get entangled with him, so she turned and left.
To everyone's surprise, Yuan Ce persisted, demanding, "Who are you! What's your name!"
Ye Li knew Yuan Ce's unreasonable and argumentative nature; she knew he wouldn't have peace unless she dealt with him properly.
She stopped and said, "I am Jiang Li, an outer sect disciple. May I leave now?"
Yuan Ce looked her over suspiciously, then suddenly remembered something. "You're the disciple who escaped from the Misty Camphor Forest? Tell me! Have you seen my senior sister? How is she?"
Ye Li found these people ridiculous. They were indifferent to her when she was alive, ignored her when she asked for help, but now one by one they all care about her.
She glanced at Yuan Ce. "Judging from your expression, you're very worried about Ye Li?"
"Of course! My senior sister raised me, so of course I care about her!"
"Is that so?"
Ye Li's lips curled into a mocking smile. "But I remember you used to complain about Ye Li all the time, what did you call her again? Oh right, old hag."
"You often tell both inner and outer disciples how despicable Ye Li is, and now you say you care about her? Don't you find that laughable?"
"you!"
Yuan Ce was exposed and was furious. Just as he was about to lash out, his gaze suddenly fell on the sword in Ye Li's hand.
He snatched it away, exclaiming, "This is... Senior Sister's sword?"
Swords are said to recognize their masters, and Yuan Ce couldn't believe it. "You? You're my senior sister?!"
