Chapter 1361: Chapter 1224: Continuous Trouble Chapter 1361: Chapter 1224: Continuous Trouble After resting for two days, Ye Qingzi found the spiritual aura of Immortal Mountain to be exceptionally rich. Even if a “Soul Pet” of ordinary talent stayed here for a long ti, its strength would not be weak.
Yu Suo also liked this place very much. The main reason was that she could absorb the benevolent aura here.
A sacred and solemn place represents goodness, and Yu Suo planned to stay here for one or two years to cultivate and improve her stage, which was why she intended to completely remove the Old Sect Master’s spell in another one or two years.
About two days had passed when Little Chan hurried over to ask Ye Qingzi to co imdiately.
When Ye Qingzi and Yu Suo arrived at the Soul Nurturing Hall, Xiao Xue’ang was already standing there. Just like the first ti Ye Qingzi saw him, he was expressionless but carried a trace of lancholy.
Ye Qingzi felt it odd. Logically, with the Old Man’s condition improving, Xiao shouldn’t look like this.
Besides Xiao Xue’ang, there stood three Golden Guards beside the Old Man’s bed, each wearing golden armor, their expressions solemn and cold. When Ye Qingzi walked in, they all fixed their icy gaze on her.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Qingzi asked.
“The situation has worsened,” Xiao Xue’ang said, frowning.
Ye Qingzi was stunned for a mont, then quickly walked to the Old Man’s side, intending to probe with “Soul Sense.”
However, the six Golden Guards simultaneously imposed their “Soul Power” on Ye Qingzi, preventing her “Soul Probe.”
Ye Qingzi withdrew her “Soul Sense,” looking at Xiao Xue’ang, Lu Yuqin, and Han Sect Leader with a puzzled gaze.
Xiao Xue’ang waved his hand to signal the Golden Guards to step back, and still courteously said, “Miss Ye, please have a look first.”
Ye Qingzi sensed sothing was off but still used her “Soul Sense” to probe.
As soon as she probed into the Old Man’s spirit, Ye Qingzi furrowed her brows, sweeping her gaze over everyone present.
“After , who else has treated the Old Man?” Ye Qingzi asked.
Xiao Xue’ang shook his head, so did Lu Yuqin, and Han Sect Leader hesitated but eventually shook his head too.
“The Old Man’s condition has deteriorated…” Han Sect Leader inford Ye Qingzi.
Feeling the suspicious gazes of those around, Ye Qingzi felt uncomfortable and spoke up, “Soone definitely cast so spell on the Old Man after , otherwise, this situation would not have occurred.”
“But no one has treated the Old Sect Master after you,” Han Sect Leader said, sowhat guiltily but righteous.
Han Sect Leader had his reasons for saying this.
That day, when Lu Fengnan was casting a spell on the Old Man, Han Sect Leader, who was guarding outside, felt sothing was amiss. He secretly broke the “Barrier” to catch a glimpse of Lu Fengnan’s spellcasting.
When Han Sect Leader discovered that Lu Fengnan was casting a spell akin to a poison curse, he was scared and imdiately moved to capture him.
Lu Fengnan knew this lie had to be upheld with the cooperation of Han Sect Leader, so he bluntly revealed his actions.
Now caught in a difficult position, Lu Fengnan pulled Han Sect Leader down with him, telling Han Sect Leader that the spell had been cast, and that if anything happened to the Old Man, Han Sect Leader would also be implicated.
Moreover, Lu Fengnan was very aware that if the Old Sect Master survived, Han Sect Leader could not rise to power.
“Han Sect Leader, I accidentally learned from so people that the Old Sect Master fell into an ambush by the Dark Sect, and you were greatly involved…”
This statent by Lu Fengnan still echoed in Han Sect Leader’s ears, forced to choose between disgrace and self-preservation, Han Sect Leader made his decision.
…
Ye Qingzi was very certain that soone had tampered here, likely soone within the Divine Sect with the power to cover up the secretive poisoning.
Ye Qingzi knew her mind was sharp. She realized that pursuing whether soone had used a skill on the Old Man after her was pointless here on soone else’s territory, where she couldn’t uncover it.
“So Xuan Techniques can extract another’s spirit, causing a temporary improvent in vitality. However, this state only lasts for a week, after which the lantern burns out…” The leading man among the Golden Guards said doubtfully.
“Yeah, Lu Fengnan also ntioned such Xuan Techniques,” Han Sect Leader tily added.
Ye Qingzi’s expression darkened.
It was clear they were trying to fra her. Ye Qingzi was now almost certain who was behind these conspiracies and tricks.
Ye Qingzi ignored these two, turning her gaze to Judge Xiao, and said:
“Judge Xiao, the old man only has about a week left to live.”
Xiao Xue’ang nodded expressionlessly.
“If I intended to harm the Elder, frankly speaking, whether I save him or not, it’s unlikely he would survive. There’s no need for to co here,” Ye Qingzi said disdainfully, responding to those who doubted her.
“Perhaps, you are trying to infiltrate our Divine Sect to gain so people’s trust…” the leader of the Golden Guards said.
Ye Qingzi glanced at the man, almost certain that there was sothing off about this guard.
She didn’t respond to him, but instead looked at Xiao Xue’ang and asked, “What about you? Do you agree with what they’re saying?”
Xiao Xue’ang shook his head, “I believe Miss Ye.”
Ye Qingzi nodded. If Xiao Xue’ang and the others shared the sa view, Ye Qingzi would not concern herself with the matter anymore. The life and death of the Elder had nothing to do with her, why should she still subject herself to their sches?
“I will continue to treat the Elder. I hope you understand that this is the second ti I am saving the Elder’s life, as the second curse, if I’m not wrong, cos from the hand of a proficient Xuan Master. Please, Judge Xiao, arrange for so dependable people to guard the Elder,” Ye Qingzi said with a hint of cold anger.
Since Judge Xiao chose to trust Ye Qingzi, he naturally agreed to let her provide treatnt and ordered everyone to leave the area.
Ye Qingzi and Yu Suo stayed in the room, with Ye Qingzi still feeling a bit angry.
Having just arrived at this Divine Sect, she was already being frad by insidious scoundrels. The feeling of being doubted and suspected was indeed very uncomfortable.
“Hmph, soone actually dared to plot against !” Yu Suo spoke first, her words icy cold.
“It must have been that Chief Disciple, Lu Fengnan. That guy clearly doesn’t have a broad mind,” Ye Qingzi said.
“The second spell he cast, I can’t break it, can you?” Yu Suo asked.
“I can’t break it completely either, right now I can only delay the onset of the poison curse. I probably need to reach the Middle Thought Soul Ruler stage before I can possibly remove it,” Ye Qingzi replied.
“Then let’s delay it for a year. Lu Fengnan is not a fool; he knows how to collude with so people in advance and shape opinions. If I’m not wrong, next he will constantly cause trouble for you to cover up his evil deed, and he might even link you with the people from the Dark Sect. By framing you as a spy intentionally placed in the Divine Sect by the Dark Sect, it would make sense why you would want to save the Elder,” Yu Suo explained.
Ye Qingzi rubbed her temples, wondering why she had to deal with this troubleso situation right upon arriving. If she knew this would happen, she would’ve stayed in Wanxiang City to cultivate.
“Good, you also need to enhance your strength. After reaching Middle Thought Soul Ruler, you can clarify this matter. Focus on your cultivation and be wary of Lu Fengnan finding various ways to target you,” Yu Suo advised.
“What, you’re not going to help deal with this Lu Fengnan?” Ye Qingzi asked, puzzled.
“This Lu Fengnan is the Xuan Sect Chief Disciple, his status isn’t much lower than Judge Xiao. Chu Mu, that bastard, has imprisoned for so many years, disrupting my previously arranged plans in Cloud Realm, He Territory, and Great Boundary Zone, leaving with almost nothing. Naturally, I can’t confront him now. I need to slowly build my own forces. Confronting such people too early would bring nurous obstacles. However, don’t worry, once I have gathered enough strength, I can easily crush him!” Yu Suo declared.
Ye Qingzi gave a wry smile. She couldn’t entirely break the second curse, and estimated that she needed to stay in this Divine Sect until it was resolved to ensure the Sect Master’s life.
After all, in order to cover up his misdeeds, Lu Fengnan would definitely try every possible ans to fra her, and only if the Sect Master’s life was secured, could Ye Qingzi remain impervious to any poison.
Ye Qingzi had expended more “Soul Power” this ti, and had to admit that Lu Fengnan’s Xuan Technique was superior to hers, and by quite a margin. Resolving that poison curse was quite challenging with her current strength.
After two hours of healing treatnt, the Elder’s condition gradually returned to what it was before Ye Qingzi’s intervention, with his life potentially prolonging for another one or two months.
“Hmph, there’s no improvent, is there?” The leader of the Golden Guards snorted coldly.
“A week’s life and a month and a half’s life, isn’t that an improvent?” Ye Qingzi disliked the skeptical look in the eyes of the Golden Guard.
Seeing the situation slightly more optimistic than before, Xiao Xue’ang felt sowhat relieved.
Honestly, Xiao Xue’ang was more inclined to believe that soone had tampered with the situation.
He approached Ye Qingzi, and using a ntal sound, he said, “Miss Ye, we’ll have to ask you to stay a bit longer at our Divine Sect. Regardless of whether the Elder can be cured or not, we will treat Miss Ye as a distinguished guest.”
Xiao Xue’ang spoke in a way that was soothing, and Ye Qingzi did not say anything further.
“In three days, I will perform the third healing session, then the Elder’s life will be extended to three months. A permanent cure requires continuous treatnt,” Ye Qingzi told Xiao Xue’ang.
“Yeah, thank you,” Xiao Xue’ang nodded, then turned to Little Chan and said, “Take Miss Ye back to rest, then go to the pavilion to fetch so Xuan Objects to help Miss Ye recover.”
