Unexpectedly, Zhiwei’s face slightly tensed, "But... Moon Rhinoceros Lake District is just a front set up by the Emotion Crossing Sect. At this moment, Lingyin Mountain has already been besieged by the army of Emotion Crossing Sect! And the connection between the sect and Moon Rhinoceros Lake District has been cut off, Moon Rhinoceros Lake District has already lost all news from Lingyin Sect!"
"This..."
Chen Ye’s expression was one of shock.
He endured the headache with effort and immediately grabbed the Lingyin Sect Guardian Jade Pendant beside him, probing his Divine Sense into it.
It was like a stone sinking into the sea!
The subtle connection with the sect’s Grand Array had completely severed, the Jade Pendant turned silent and lifeless, as if it was just ordinary jade.
Chen Ye’s heart sank to the bottom.
This matter was a thousand times more severe than the annihilation of the He Family and Mei Suxin’s attack combined!
What kind of existence is Lingyin Sect?
A top sect in the Yan Kingdom, with a Golden Core True Man presiding, of unfathomable foundation.
To besiege it, and completely isolate internal and external communications, the power Emotion Crossing Sect mobilized this time must be to the extent of a full-scale mobilization!
"Perhaps... Emotion Crossing Sect is engaging in an all-out war. The plight of Moon Rhinoceros Lake District is just the tip of the iceberg," Chen Ye said gravely.
"Master, if Peach Mountain District is struck, then... what about Granny Sun and the others?" Zhiwei furrowed her brows slightly. This elderly woman had shown Zhiwei and Qing Jun much care back in the day, and she always remembered this favor, naturally worried about their safety now.
Chen Ye reassured her, "In Lisong Valley, there are several Foundation Establishment demon plants, along with the Wei Family’s former clan-protecting Grand Array. Ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators can’t get in easily. Moreover, Peach Mountain District is located in a remote area, deep in the rear of Lingyin Sect. At most, a few Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators would go there."
Yunxi and Peach Mountain Districts are near the Three Thousand Great Mountains, located in secluded areas, mostly inhabited by Loose Cultivators, and nearby are the Myriad Puppets and Spiritual Treasure schools.
To the Emotion Crossing Sect, these two districts pose no danger; perhaps after conquering Lingyin Sect, they would still need to win over these Loose Cultivators.
If they gain the land but lose the people, it’s not a favorable result for Emotion Crossing Sect.
...
After Chen Ye woke up and understood the situation, he sent out the two disciples reluctant to leave.
"Master, you’ve turned your back on us! We’ve taken care of you for so long, and now that you’re awake, you don’t even want to see us?" Qing Jun protested.
"Master, since you’ve just woken up, let me and Qing Jun take care of you." Zhiwei was worried.
In truth.
After waking up, Chen Ye found that most of his injuries had already healed.
But for the past few days, his two disciples had barely rested because of him.
By sending them away, it’s not that he wanted to rest, but rather to let his two disciples take a rest.
Yet, he couldn’t say it directly, otherwise the disciples would probably say they could handle it.
Chen Ye put on a stern face, "Master needs to recuperate and adjust well. Don’t you want Master to recover quickly?"
Upon hearing this,
the two disciples, despite having a thousand reasons, couldn’t continue staying.
"Hmm... in the past few days, the Heart Slaughter Sword has already devoured Mei Suxin’s Divine Soul..."
After reluctantly sending away the disciples, Chen Ye grabbed the Soul Nourishing Stone, pressing it tightly against his forehead, and began cultivating his Divine Soul.
The cooling and pure Soul Power flowed in, relaxing his tense nerves a bit.
Soon after,
he discovered that his Divine Soul was nearly forty percent more refined than before!
It was likely already higher than most Mid-Period Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
[Seven Luminaries Soul Nourishing Technique Perfection: 280/400]
As for proficiency, it directly increased by nearly a hundred!
You must know, the proficiency of the Seven Luminaries Soul Nourishing Technique progresses very slowly.
These hundred points of proficiency equate to his own practice for three months.
"It’s close to the Limit Break... I wonder what qualitative changes the Seven Luminaries Soul Nourishing Technique will have,"
Chen Ye secretly anticipated.
Perhaps after the Limit Break, the speed of cultivating other stars would increase further!
Currently, he had only mastered Saturn.
However, after receiving feedback from the Heart Slaughter Sword, he seemed on the verge of fully comprehending Taibai.
If he could successfully comprehend Taibai, later manipulating the Flying Sword would be as natural as a fish in water, with enhanced power.
The time spent on cultivating the Divine Soul passed swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, the Quiet Chamber had been tinged with golden edges by the dusk.
Chen Ye opened his eyes, taking a long breath, and his expression suddenly turned stern, "Who!?"
"Ha! In just half a year, you don’t even recognize your owner?"
Only to see a petite golden figure sitting on the windowsill.
She supported herself on the edge with her small hands, lightly jumping down, looking at him discontentedly.
Who else could it be but Bai Susu?
Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "So it’s Susu..."
Upon these words, Bai Susu immediately puffed up, glaring at him, "Don’t call me Susu, call me True Inheritor Bai! Or Master!"
Alright.
True Inheritor Bai it is.
Chen Ye pretended to be polite, cupping his hands, "Thank you, True Inheritor Bai, for the grace of saving me for three days."
His ceremonious manner, coupled with the smile fading from his face, now carried a touch of unfamiliarity.
Damn it!
Bai Susu ground her teeth secretly; it’s not like she wouldn’t let him call her Susu. If he continued to call her that, she couldn’t very well kill him... was there really a need for such formality?
Clearly, a few days ago, when she had him at her mercy in the Mao Family’s Yangquan, he didn’t have this attitude... his tail was practically straight back then.
The golden-haired girl’s little face flushed slightly as she coughed:
"It’s alright, those three days, I had a lot of fun too."
Chen Ye squinted, sensing something wasn’t right, "Fun??"
"Fun!"
Bai Susu, with her hands behind her back, let out a cold laugh,
"Indeed. Not a bad little dog; even with eyes closed, by the owner’s side, the tail would be straight."
It’s just that her blushing little face really didn’t convey any sense of chill to Chen Ye.
What had happened to this person?
Chen Ye furrowed his brow, "When I woke up, I found all my injuries healed; presumably, True Inheritor Bai used a lot of Treasures of Heaven and Earth. Please enlighten me on how to repay you, I will definitely make it up to you!"
As he spoke, Chen Ye covertly observed Bai Susu’s expression.
He always felt that during his three-day coma, Bai Susu did something unfriendly to him.
But who would have thought.
This Golden Furred Ball, with her ever-changing moods, seeing Chen Ye still so formal, and even cautiously eyeing her, instantly ignited her temper.
Where was the look of you pleading... begging her yesterday?
If it weren’t for seeing your tail wagging, you think this True Inheritor would have helped you?
Now you’re turning your back on people...
She suddenly turned around, her amber eyes reflecting cold light in the dim twilight, "Are you questioning me?"
In an instant, the icy Sword Intent locked on Chen Ye.
Bai Susu was actually at the Sixth-Layer of Foundation Establishment, just one step away from the Late Period!
Once she breaks through to the Late Period of Foundation Establishment, she would be a top powerhouse in both Yan and Qi regions.
Not to mention, Bai Susu is naturally overwhelmingly powerful!
Chen Ye’s face turned slightly pale, under this pressure, he held himself back from retreating:
"I dare not; the grace of True Inheritor Bai’s saving me for three days and nights, I am deeply grateful. It’s just that as for what the True Inheritor mentioned... I am, indeed, utterly clueless having been unconscious for three days. Certainly, the Treasures of Heaven and Earth the True Inheritor spent, I will definitely repay, please enlighten me."
"Repay?"
Bai Susu snorted, seeing Chen Ye’s face go pale but still with that distant manner, her coercive pressure grew even stronger.
She wanted to see this man’s waist bend before her!
"You think the Transformation Elixir of my Bai Family can be measured by Spirit Stones? The Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill of mine, can you afford it?"
Step by step she approached, her golden eyes glowing in the darkness, staring right into Chen Ye’s eyes:
"Moreover... this True Inheritor personally took action, spending three days and nights channeling the medicine power for you, suppressing the backlash of that broken sword, stabilizing your tail... In any case, how do you plan to repay this favor of mine?"
It’s no wonder.
Chen Ye felt as though he had suddenly understood everything, realizing that, upon awakening, not only had all internal injuries healed.
At the same time, after the Heart Slaughter Sword devoured Mei Suxin’s Divine Soul, his Divine Soul did not become feeble, instead, it grew stronger.
In merely three days, he had thoroughly digested all the benefits without leaving any side effects.
This was all because Bai Susu fed him top-level Treasures of Heaven and Earth.
But this Golden Furred Ball was truly unreasonable, obviously, it was her who didn’t want him to call her Susu.
"True Inheritor Bai..." Chen Ye just wanted to speak, intending to ease the atmosphere.
However, the domineering little ball wouldn’t even give him a chance to explain!
The golden-haired girl coldly said, "Shut up! Keep... keep your tail up! And wag it properly in front of this True Inheritor!"
