Three years later.
With the collapse of the withered mountain, the Far North no longer held the dangerous threat it once held. Aside from the Wind God Sea gale that blew every ten years, it wasn't considered one of the four most dangerous places. However, it left an indelible impression on all cultivators, and ordinary people still didn't dare enter.
Time flies, and the great battle in the far north is still vivid in people's minds, as if it happened just days ago. However, all the powerful people who experienced that incident are very secretive and never talk about it easily.
Xuan Lingzi disappeared, the Demon Lord fell, and the strength of the human race was greatly weakened.
Fortunately, the demon lord Xing Wei was still under the control of the human race, and was used as a hostage to fight against the demons. A long cold war began between the two races. Neither side was willing to take the initiative, because they had more important things to do at the moment and had to suspend the war.
In the Lingyun Palace of Taihua Mountain, Xuan Lingzi and Luo Jianqing's natal lamps were not extinguished!
The golden flame on Xuan Lingzi's natal lamp faltered, yet a faint flame still blazed. A deep crack ran from the wick to the base, nearly breaking the entire lamp. Yet, even so, the flame remained unextinguished, burning relentlessly day after day.
On the other hand, Luo Jianqing's natal lamp was much better.
Three years ago, when everyone arrived at Mount Taihua to investigate the natal lamps of Xuan Lingzi and Luo Jianqing, they discovered that the former's lamp was nearly extinguished, and the latter's was also on the verge of going out. However, three years later, Luo Jianqing's lamp had only grown brighter. While it wasn't as dazzling as it once was, it certainly wasn't likely to go out easily.
This means that Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi have not died, and are even surviving well in the ninth dangerous level of the Cliff of Broken Love!
Every year, both the human and demon tribes sent guards to the exit of the ninth level of peril, but they had never been seen leaving, and there was no movement from within. You know, the nine levels of the Cliff of Broken Love were increasingly dangerous as you went down, and even Elder Du Jue Tian didn't dare stay at the ninth level for long.
And the dangerous situation of the Cliff of Broken Love has another characteristic.
As long as you stay in the first eight levels of danger for a fixed period of time, you will be transferred out of the Cliff of Broken Love and need to enter again from the top of the cliff.
However, Luo Jianqing and the other two had already been in the ninth level of danger for three full years.
Elder Du Juetian speculated, "We've never entered the ninth level of danger. Perhaps there are other restrictions that allow cultivators to stay longer. But regardless, if they didn't die there, they would definitely come out. Xuan Lingzi's injuries are severe. Even if he hasn't died yet, he will die sooner or later."
The human race and the demon race have never had a common goal, but now, their primary goal is to kill Luo Jianqing.
Taihua Mountain is the leader of the righteous sect, and its leader, Venerable Hao Xingzi, represents the human race. His proposal has the support of various factions, including the Broken Soul Sect and the Bai Family. Venerable Yuqingzi and others have objected to this, especially Venerable Yuqingzi, who has the best relationship with Luo Jianqing among all her fellow disciples and naturally cannot let it go unchecked.
Venerable Yuqingzi kept pleading with Haoxingzi, saying, "If Jianqing is willing to betray the human race, then the demon race is even more likely to do so! Senior Brother, are you really willing to believe the demon race's words instead of your own nephew?"
However, Venerable Hao Xingzi shook his head slightly, his eyes deep: "The ban on Mount Taihua has been in place for 30,000 years. You don't need to say more."
“Senior Brother!”
Finally, in the second year, Venerable Hao Xingzi issued a ban and imprisoned Yu Qingzi in Qinglan Peak.
If Yu Qingzi was the most concerned among the peak masters of Mount Taihua, then her eldest disciple, Mu Tianxin, was even more furious. Upon learning of this, Mu Tianxin rushed out of the mountain gate and headed all the way to Cangshuang Peak, where she was eventually stopped by her third senior sister, Wei Qiongyin.
Mu Tianxin looked at Wei Qiongyin, who had a cold face, in disbelief and said, "Senior Sister, you actually stopped me? The head master made such a foolish decision, why didn't you object? Why don't you believe in my eldest brother!"
Beside Wei Qiongyin were Jie Zizhuo, Xiu Hen, and Huo Yuchong. They looked at Mu Tianxin, whose eyes were red with anxiety, and did not say a word.
After a long moment, Xie Zizhuo, dressed in black, closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were calm. Unlike his youthful impetuosity, Xie Zizhuo calmly said, "Junior Sister, it's time for you to grow up. Our power is not enough to sway the headmaster's decision. Even my master and the other uncles and seniors' attempts to persuade us were of no use. Senior Senior Yuqingzi was even grounded to the house."
Mu Tianxin knew all these things, but she clenched her fingers and said, "But...but we can't give up. That's our senior brother, the one we grew up with. How could he do those things? He would never hurt us."
Wei Qiongyin lowered her eyes and said, "Do you know that something happened on Cangshuang Peak this morning?"
Mu Tianxin was stunned: "What?"
Wei Qiongyin said calmly, "Second Senior Brother was stripped of his status as a direct disciple and demoted to an ordinary inner sect disciple. He knelt before the Sect Master's door for a full month. Today, due to his injuries, he passed out and was carried away by other disciples. The Sect Master, in a rage, revoked all his privileges and punished him to face the wall on the Cliff of Repentance for ten years."
Mu Tianxin was speechless.
Three years ago, during the war between the two clans, of the Seven Sons of Taihua, only Luo Jianqing and Zuo Yunmo went. The other five, believing they were not strong enough, devoted themselves to cultivation in seclusion. However, after the war, Luo Jianqing's whereabouts were unknown, and Zuo Yunmo was seriously injured.
While guarding the Suzaku position, Zuo Yunmo's natal sword was forcibly broken by the spiritual pressure of Elder Du Jue Tian, severely damaging his mind and almost losing half his life. Three years ago, Zuo Yunmo was carried back to Taihua Mountain. He finally woke up last year and has been bedridden for a long time since then.
