Source of "It Turns Out I Was Really the Protagonist":
Changsheng Daoist was startled by Li Sisui's glare and subconsciously shrank back. However, being in the slow sword domain, even he could not move an inch. Although he had heard of Li Sisui's strength before, he realized how terrifying the latter was now when he faced him in person. He was far from being the last master uncle in the sect!
But Changsheng Daoren was, after all, the head of a sect, and he still had some composure. In the blink of an eye, he regained his usual calm and composure. However, the moment Changsheng Daoren met his gaze, Li Sisui still sensitively caught a glimpse of fear in his eyes. Although it was fleeting, he was certain that he was not mistaken.
Especially since Changsheng Daoren did not deny it immediately after Jue Mingzi finished speaking, this already spoke volumes. Li Sisui felt a sinking feeling in his heart. After letting out a long sigh, he withdrew all of his transparent short sword and slow sword domain. Although he himself did not believe it, as far as the current situation was concerned, there must be some hidden secrets behind this that he did not know!
After Li Sisui withdrew his Slow Sword Domain, the master and disciple felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They felt the surrounding space flow smoothly like silk, and instinctively dodged backward until they were a safe enough distance from Li Sisui before stopping. Jue Mingzi, looking ashamed, knelt down at the feet of the Longevity Daoist with a thud.
"Master, this disciple deserves to die for failing to keep my mouth shut. Please punish me!"
The Immortal Daoist, with an indifferent expression, slowly waved his hand, his eyes fixed on Li Sisui, and said:
"It's alright. Few people can withstand such a test in the face of life and death. I don't blame you. This day was bound to come eventually; it was just a matter of time..."
Li Sisui remained silent, his mind filled with memories from the past thousand years. No matter how his fellow disciples mocked and ridiculed him, or outwardly complied but inwardly defied him, the Immortal of Longevity had always cared for him. Not to mention the various ways he took care of and accommodated him on a daily basis, the Immortal of Longevity pills he received once a year had never been interrupted!
Whenever he thought of the kind smile of the Immortal Daoist, he would feel a warmth in his heart. Li Sisui could not believe that the kind-faced sect leader in his memory had two faces. It was one thing if he did, but why did he have to see them?
Originally, it was just a surprise scare, but unexpectedly, Jue Mingzi was so weak that the truth was revealed. In the world of cultivation, the strong are indeed respected, and there are not so many twists and turns. Li Sisui also experienced the benefits of being powerful for the first time. When you can control the life and death of others, no one will be willing to risk their own life to tell a lie...
"Grandmaster Uncle, I won't say much more. Here is something for you to look at. After you see it, you should understand the whole story..."
As he spoke, the Immortal of Longevity took out a brocade pouch wrapped in gold thread from his sleeve. A look of struggle flashed across his face. He then threw it directly to Li Sisui. The latter looked puzzled, but still subconsciously caught it. It was silky smooth to the touch and of superior quality. Then, under the Immortal of Longevity's intense gaze, Li Sisui slowly opened the brocade pouch.
Inside the brocade pouch was only a roll of plain brocade, its texture light and delicate. When unfolded, it was covered with several lines of writing. Li Sisui only glanced at it briefly before his eyes widened in shock, as if countless thunderclaps had exploded in his ears, leaving him standing there dumbfounded!
"This, this, absolutely impossible!"
"Impossible! It must be a smokescreen you're using to get away with this!"
Li Sisui's eyes glazed over as he muttered to himself. Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and his Slow Sword Domain surged forth, enveloping the Changsheng Master and his disciples. Before they could react, the transparent short sword was silently unleashed, heading straight for the Changsheng Daoist's face. The transparent short sword was menacing and filled with murderous intent, aiming to kill the Changsheng Daoist directly!
Although Jue Mingzi looked desperate, he was trapped in Li Sisui's slow sword domain and couldn't move an inch, let alone do anything else. However, even without the slow sword domain, after experiencing Li Sisui's strength, Jue Mingzi probably wouldn't have the courage to stop him. But watching his master die in front of him was an indescribable torment for him!
On the contrary, the Immortal Daoist remained calm and indifferent, as if the whole matter had nothing to do with him. He had an detached expression and let the transparent short sword fly towards his head without blinking. He still stared straight at Li Sisui, who had a ferocious look in his eyes not far away. However, a rare and firm look unexpectedly appeared in his turbid and gray eyes!
Although the air seemed to stagnate within the slow sword domain, the transparent short sword maintained its normal speed without wavering. In fact, it appeared much faster within the slow sword domain, arriving before the Immortal Daoist in just a few breaths. The next second, the Immortal Daoist's head would be pierced by the transparent short sword, just like a smashed watermelon...
“Tell me, this brocade pouch is a forgery, and all the contents on it are fabricated by you!”
The transparent short sword was aimed directly at the Changsheng Daoist's brow, stopping less than a millimeter away. Li Sisui's exasperated voice rang out, as if he were an ant on a hot pan, extremely agitated!
The Immortal Daoist remained unmoved, not even lifting an eyelid, as if the transparent short sword between his brows didn't exist, and calmly said:
"I had no choice in this matter, and this is all I could do. As long as my grandmaster doesn't blame me, I will die without regret!"
"Master... Master, please don't be stubborn. I've already confessed. Just tell the truth. I admit I had ulterior motives for what I did, but it was indeed you who gave the order. He really would kill me. Master, please think it over!"
Jue Mingzi's lips trembled, and his tone was humble. He hadn't lied about anything he said before. It was originally Changsheng Daoren's order, and with his own little selfishness, it was a perfect match. Although he didn't know what was written in the brocade pouch, the fact that he was two-faced was already undeniable. What else could he say?
If it were their previous grandmaster, it wouldn't have mattered if they had openly admitted it, since their former grandmaster was really weak and could be ignored. But the current situation is different. Their current grandmaster holds the power of life and death over them. At this critical moment, survival is the priority. What else is there to worry about?
After hearing what Jue Mingzi said, Li Sisui's face darkened further, and he said coldly:
"I'm asking you one last time, yes or no!"
The Immortal Daoist slowly shook his head, his lips tightly pressed together, not intending to utter another word in defense. Jue Mingzi, though anxious and burning with worry, was powerless to help. He could only sigh deeply and close his eyes in anguish, unable to bear witnessing what was about to happen...
Whew~
The slow sword domain vanished instantly, and the transparent short sword disappeared without a trace. The main hall of Luoyun Sect returned to its usual state, with only Li Sisui's heavy breathing echoing incessantly. Upon seeing this, Changsheng Daoist's expression turned solemn, and he remained silent in contemplation. Juemingzi felt the surrounding space loosen and opened his eyes in disbelief, looking at his grandmaster uncle sitting on the ground, breathing heavily, with a face full of doubt.
Li Sisui gripped the brocade tightly in his hand, his fingers turning white, and he breathed heavily. He didn't have the courage to look at it again. He had only glanced at it a few times before he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, especially the signature on the brocade, which was none other than Senior Brother Lingyun!
