694: Revised: Chapter 49 Tomb-sweeping Day
Round Turtle Mountain was not like Qingfu Mountain, lacking the protection of Tiger Creek Cave Heaven.
As night fell, the entire mountain beca quiet and dark.
The Cave Heaven Spiritual Treasure of Baihua Valley took root and grew into a giant vine that stretched towards the sky, with each disciple having their own private residence.
Yuan Yi was originally ditating quietly by herself, intending to pass this silent night, but at midnight, a gentle knock sounded at the door of her abode.
“Senior Sister Yuan?”
The voice of the knocker was light and clear.
Yuan Yi opened the door with so confusion, and outside stood a beautiful woman dressed in white, carrying a box of pastries.
“Senior Sister Yuan, I couldn’t sleep.”
The beautiful woman smiled and said, “Visiting at midnight, am I disturbing you?”
After the chaos in Qing State, Baihua Valley suffered severe damage, and its presence seed to be declining.
They quickly began recruiting disciples.
Normally, this Qing State Holy Land, which had accumulated deep foundations and reputation over the years, was a place everyone yearned to join, and once it opened its doors, it would quickly be full of disciples.
However, coinciding with the special period when Da Sui Sword Palace was also recruiting disciples, many young talents from Qing State chose to try their luck in Central State, not to ntion the wandering cultivators from other places.
It wasn’t until after the Northern Hunt ended that Baihua Valley finally filled its ranks with disciples, among them the beautiful woman in front of Yuan Yi, whom she rembered vividly as the last to join the sect, Junior Sister Xiao Qi.
“No need to be polite, Junior Sister Xiao.”
Yuan Yi said warmly, but did not take the pastries: “What’s the matter?”
She had a good impression of this Junior Sister Xiao.
Perhaps it was because Junior Sister Xiao reminded her of herself in the past…
just joined the sect, the youngest and least experienced, and the clumsiest in cultivation.
Those who hadn’t found their way wouldn’t stand out in anything, whether it was breathing techniques or sword intent and moves; Junior Sister Xiao’s performance was very average and unremarkable, blending into the crowd.
“It’s my first ti participating in a sect activity.”
Xiao Qi smiled wryly and said sincerely, “When I signed up, I heard the senior sisters say that the Southern Border Demon Cleansing isn’t very dangerous…
as long as one listens to the master’s instructions, and is careful when attacking Pure White Mountain, not straying from the group, one can survive.”
“…”
Yuan Yi’s expression beca complicated.
Back when she participated in the battle at Beihai Tomb, she had heard similar words.
In the eyes of the mortals, the cultivators in the cultivation world are all Immortal Masters.
But that is not the case.
This world is wrapped in delicate lies, and many cultivators are not as grand as mortals imagine.
Among them many…
are fools.
After barely coming back alive from Beihai Tomb, Yuan Yi realized the cruelty of the cultivation world.
Think about it, how could it be easy to attack the Paperman Sect?
The evil cultivators of the Three Great Sects are all ruthless, with no bottom line, yet these people collectively were toyed with by the Paperman Sect, completely unable to resist.
The prowess of a figure like Lu Yuzhen is sothing no small-ti cultivators in the world can imagine!
What the Various Holy Lands are about to face may be the most powerful force of evil cultivators in the South Border in nearly a hundred years!
However, Xiao Qi did get one point right.
“Listening to the master’s instructions, you can make it through.”
Yuan Yi spoke softly, “The delay in the main assault these past days is because the guiding envoys of the South Border Three Great Sects cannot be trusted.
Do not leave Zhanjiao Mountain…
do not worry, we will all make it through just fine.”
Xiao Qi paused.
“Senior Sister Yuan…”
She took a deep breath and said seriously, “I heard you learned a few sword forms from the Chen Mansion…
can you teach ?”
Yuan Yi never refused requests for sword move lessons.
In her struggle to catch up with Mr.
Xiao Xie, she had been cultivating strenuously, and apart from comprehending sword moves and forms, she would seek out people to spar with whenever she could.
Yuan Yi’s dedication to studying Sword Dao had reached a point where most of the Baihua Valley disciples would avoid her when they saw her…
even Senior Sister Lu Yuan, who usually loved sparring the most, didn’t wish to duel with her because her fighting style was too fierce.
Once she lost, she would quickly adjust and seek a rematch, like an unshakable adhesive.
No one wanted to be stuck with Yuan Yi.
Since no one in the valley was willing to spar with her, Yuan Yi could only bury herself in solitary study.
Tonight, a rare seeker of guidance appeared.
Yuan Yi was more than happy.
“I can, but…”
She glanced around and said with a wry smile, “This place is not very suitable.”
The Vine Realm was too narrow.
After all, it was a cave mansion opened up by a Spiritual Treasure, providing each disciple with a place to stay, which was already quite difficult.
The space here could only accommodate one person to sit and ditate quietly.
To demonstrate sword moves was really insufficient.
Xiao Qi blinked and said, “Shall we go to the foot of the mountain?”
…
…
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Two flashes of sword light swept across the area at the foot of Round Turtle Mountain.
The army sent south by the Da Chu Dynasty this ti was composed of elites, but these elite forces had to be scattered among the seven Zhanjiao Mountains…
seemingly responding to each other, but in fact, so were quite far apart.
The southwestern front of Round Turtle Mountain was the most remote station, and it was fully a hundred and eighty li away from the nearest Zhanjiao Mountain, Fuqing Mountain.
If sothing unexpected happened, it would be impossible to rush to the rescue in ti.
Only when they reached Pure White Mountain would the seven Zhanjiao Mountains truly converge.
Therefore, patrolling Zhanjiao Mountain was extrely important.
Baihua Valley and the Jiang Family each sent disciples to form pairs and patrol the mountain gate.
There was another reason for such strict patrols: Xie Zhen’s action of slaying Daoist Qian Yuan.
While the other Zhanjiao Mountains might not care, Ye Qinglian and Jiang Que clearly rembered…
the commotion during the dayti made them realize that the guiding envoys of the Hehuan Sect could no longer be trusted.
