Chen Yi blinked, subconsciously telling himself that it was about time to shut up.
But the gossipy soul hidden deep within him made him unable to resist asking, "Senior Ghost, what exactly is your grudge against the Qinghui faction?"
The ghost cast a deep gaze at Chen Yi. After a long while, he slowly spoke, saying, "This grudge is also related to your master, Xuanzhu. It's alright to tell you about it."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Do you know that my Hidden Moon Sect was not once a sect?"
Chen Yi shook his head.
"All you need to know is that the four major factions at present, Shuoyue, Qinghui, Suhua and Youxuan, were all once independent sects, but they all believed in the same lineage."
"Jueyin?"
"That's right! Later, due to the struggle for lineage, our four sects had no choice but to unite in order to prevent the Jueyin lineage from being weakened by other lineages, and that's how the current Yanyue Sect gradually formed."
The ghost's voice became incredibly ethereal and distant, as if it had returned to bygone days.
"But there are only a few Dao Fruit positions in the Jueyin Yin lineage to begin with, and the four major factions naturally have to fight each other openly and secretly for their own interests."
“Over a hundred years ago, your master, Xuanzhu, once held the position of Dao Fruit, but before he could comprehend the mysteries of the laws, he was overthrown by Qinghui’s people in conjunction with Shuoyue…”
After hearing this, Chen Yi immediately understood why Master Xuanzhu had said that he had once held a high position.
Although the Ghostly Immortal did not mention himself, he guessed that the Ghostly Immortal had also had a similar experience to the Profound Candle.
This explains why he targeted Qinghui so much, even implicating disciples like Li Yun.
Since everyone's goal is to protect Jueyin, his decision not to attack the younger generation demonstrates his strategic thinking.
If a true master were to implicate each other's disciples in a struggle for a position, then the Hidden Moon Sect would likely be doomed.
"Senior, did our Youxuan faction never retaliate?" Chen Yi asked curiously.
The ghost smiled and said, "Of course there are. My Youxuan faction and Suhua faction are quite good. Your senior sister Suxin is from Suhua's side. She joined Xuanzhu sect to demonstrate the relationship between the two sides."
"It's just that in recent years, our own juniors in Youxuan haven't been very capable, which has led to us being constantly suppressed. Even Suhua's side has gradually become somewhat distant from us."
After saying that, he gave Chen Yi a deep look and said, "You must perform well at the full moon celebration and not let us down."
Chen Yi secretly wondered: Could this full moon celebration also be related to the struggle for the throne?
"We won't interfere with your friendships with Qinghui, but you must be clear about your stance when it comes to matters of principle."
After saying this, the ghost let Chen Yi leave.
Back in the cave, Li Yun nestled together with the unconscious Song Xin, their hands rubbing together, beads of nervous sweat appearing on their skin.
He knew that even if Chen Yi pleaded on his behalf, it might not be effective.
I just didn't want to give up hope...
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart.
The moment he saw Chen Yi appear, he took a deep breath and said, "Junior Brother Chen, you're finally back."
Chen Yi glanced at the two of them, and recalling what the Ghostly Immortal had said, his expression became somewhat complicated.
"Feel sorry......"
Li Yun closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, she opened them and said, "It's okay."
He took out the token and transferred 1,000 contribution points to Chen Yi.
"Oh no! This won't do! This won't do... Hey! Senior Brother Li, I received it! Thank you!"
Chen Yi was polite for a second, then stopped refusing, since it was agreed upon beforehand.
To contribute and not earn anything is the act of a bastard!
However, after thinking for a moment, he still kindly said, "Senior Brother Li, I do know someone who is proficient in the path of soul cultivation. I wonder if he has any way to save Senior Sister Song Xin."
A ray of light pierced through the weariness and desolation in Li Yun's eyes once more. "Where?"
Chen Yi uttered three words: "Red Dragon Kingdom".
Li Yun was slightly taken aback: "Junior brother, are you from the Crimson Dragon Kingdom?"
Chen Yi seemed to sense something: "Senior brother, you too?"
Li Yun nodded.
"I was chosen by the Hidden Moon Cult eight years ago."
Chen Yi's expression showed understanding.
"Senior Brother Li, if you'd like to give it a try, I can make some recommendations."
The soul cultivator he mentioned was none other than Principal Ma Guangzhi of Xiande School.
It has now been more than twenty days since he left Xiande.
Judging by the days, it should be about time for the Immortal Trial to begin.
I wonder how Xiande fared in its reconstruction after that beast tide...
His memory was still stuck on the scene of the fake Core cultivator from the Thief Heaven Sect being arrested by the Golden Core True Person from the Crimson Dragon Kingdom.
He didn't know whether the Stone Demon Lord who brought the beast tide had been punished.
Of course, there are also my friends. How did they perform in their immortal examinations?
What will the future hold?
Chen Yi thought that if he could go back this time, he would know the answer.
Li Yun glanced at Song Xin and nodded directly: "Okay, I'll pay for the travel expenses. As long as the person you mentioned can cure her, I will reward you handsomely!"
Chen Yi was also moved by Li Yun at this moment.
He decided that from now on he would only scam college students—no, he meant only scam rich people...
A sincere person like Senior Brother Li also wants to help others as much as possible.
So the two of them took Song Xin to the sect's teleportation hall.
This main hall is equipped with numerous teleportation arrays, most of which lead to the countries under its jurisdiction.
There were also waiting rooms where you could see many fellow students sitting and waiting for the bus to depart.
"Where to?" a deacon asked.
“The Crimson Dragon Kingdom,” Li Yun replied.
The steward pointed to one of the waiting halls: "You're in luck. There's a bus there that's going to the Crimson Dragon Kingdom. A one-way ticket costs 20 contribution points, and a round-trip ticket costs 100 contribution points."
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment. Why was a one-way trip so cheap, but a round trip so expensive?
Without saying much, Li Yun paid for Song Xin's and Chen Yi's round-trip tickets.
They sat down in the waiting room, and Li Yuncai explained, "One-way teleportation is only activated when a certain number of people have gathered."
"When we return, we can't gather like we do now, so the return trip will be at a fixed time. Even if we don't have enough people, we will still start. To save costs, it will be much more expensive."
"If you only buy a one-way ticket and don't want to fly back for more than ten days, you'll have to buy a ticket in the Red Dragon Kingdom, which is even less cost-effective. So I've only been back twice in the past eight years."
Chen Yi was secretly astonished. No wonder Li Yun said he had only returned twice in the past eight years; it turned out that this teleportation array was so expensive.
He suddenly remembered the array plate that Su Xin used when she took him back.
It seems that Xuanzhu Zhenren would only allow his disciples to use it when they were on a mission.
In this situation, the only option is for a group of people to squeeze together and sit in the teleportation array.
"If I could master that teleportation array, I could travel back and forth at will," Chen Yi murmured to himself.
A moment later, the formation had gathered all the required number of people.
A total of eleven people set off for the Crimson Dragon Kingdom.
They nodded to each other, but most of them were only superficially enthusiastic; they weren't truly passionate.
As the saying goes, when you're traveling, the people you should be most wary of are those from your hometown...
The array flashed with light, the space distorted for a moment, and then the group of figures disappeared into the beam of light.
......
Red Dragon Kingdom.
Border teleportation array.
"Buzz!"
Eleven figures appeared.
The next instant, everyone felt as if they were being watched...
