Not climbing the Qingyun Ladder

Chapter 40
Murong Qi looked at Hua Xiangrong who was already standing on the ground, sheathing her sword and smiling slightly at her, and couldn't help but be startled.

The person opposite complained about repaying kindness with hatred, but in fact he didn't mean to complain at all. Instead, he seemed to be very happy for her.

"Congratulations, Miss Murong." Hua Xiangrong stepped forward and said to Murong Qi.

Murong Qi's sword is called "Zangfeng", which really sums up the supreme state of Lifeng swordsmanship.For sword cultivators who practice sharp swordsmanship, it is easy to take out the sheath, but difficult to put it in.

It seems to be a very simple and easy to understand truth to want to look back when there is no way out.But for the sword cultivators of this sect, they have always believed that they are stronger and sharper than anyone else. Taking the sword back means admitting defeat, which is absolutely unacceptable.

But "hiding the edge" is not really "hiding". Hiding the edge is to make the sword in your hand sharper when you take it out of the sheath next time.

A simple action, but it means a higher level of knowledge and understanding of this Tao.

"Thank you." Murong Qi said to Hua Xiangrong.

Then she paused and continued: "If you don't mind, I would like to call you Master."

Hua Xiangrong was really stunned. She didn't expect Murong Qi to say that, so she didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.

The people around him were also very shocked. It was better for them to believe that Murong Qi would call someone else a master than to believe that Murong Qi had accepted a disciple himself.

"Teacher, teach me and solve my doubts. You have solved my doubts. Of course you can be my master." Murong Qi said.

The truth is this, but this kind of thing is ridiculous no matter how you say it.In the eyes of onlookers, Hua Xiangrong was younger than Murong Qi.

"It's just a mutual discussion, Miss Murong said something serious." Hua Xiangrong said.

Without waiting for Murong Qi to say anything else, she immediately took Luo Jiuyu's hand and said, "Jiuyu said she still had one more important thing to do. Since the sword has been found, everyone, let's say goodbye."

Luo Jiuyu was being pulled away by her while muttering: "What's the big deal with me..."

Hua Xiangrong pinched her hand harder, and Luo Jiuyu immediately changed his mind: "Ah, by the way, Xiangrong is right, I have something urgent, so I won't bother you anymore."

The two of them just walked farther and farther away in front of everyone, every word you said to me.

"Where are you two girls going?" Li Lin asked behind them.

"Lizhou." Hua Xiangrong replied.

"Lizhou?" Murong Qi raised his eyebrows.What a coincidence. When she came back this time, she planned to go to Lizhou after a short stop in Li Mansion.

The people watching the excitement gradually dispersed, leaving only the Li family standing there.

"Sister, why did you come back suddenly before I had time to ask?" Li Lin asked Murong Qi.

Murong Qi went out for training and her whereabouts were uncertain, but she and Li Lin kept in touch in a special way.She came back so suddenly this time that even Li Lin didn't know.

"I have been traveling in Yuezhou, and I always felt that the place was a bit strange, so I wanted to go home and ask you to help analyze it." Murong Qi replied.

"What's weird?" Li Mu asked.

Murong Qi's expression remained unchanged, but what he said was surprising: "I suspect that there are demon cultivators in Yuezhou, and their cultivation level is not low."

"This is impossible." Li Huai retorted subconsciously.

"Yes, as we all know, after the massacre in Yuezhou, people from the Canglan Sect and the four major sects have completely cleaned up the demon cultivators in Yuezhou, leaving many disciples to monitor them day and night. There are even some with advanced cultivators. The elders are in charge.”

Changsun Xiao frowned. She knew that Murong Qi was not someone who liked to talk nonsense, but this was too unbelievable.

"Sister, why do you think there are high-level demon cultivators in Yuezhou?" Li Lin asked.

Murong Qi replied: "The technique I practice, the Three Yang Jue of Purifying Heaven, is extremely pure. It is naturally repelled by the demonic energy of demon cultivators. It will make you feel uncomfortable when it comes into contact. When I was in Yuezhou, I once I feel like I can’t breathe smoothly, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in my body is stagnant.”

"I originally thought that the true energy in my Qi sea was gone, but after careful inspection, I found that it was not the case. At that time, I realized that it might be demonic energy, so I went to Yuezhou to investigate."

When Murong Qi said this, he paused for a moment, his face turned a little pale, as if he was recalling something bad.She exhaled slowly before continuing.

"When my separated spiritual consciousness was searching for demonic energy in Yuezhou, I suddenly felt a powerful and somewhat crazy idea. It was so powerful that as soon as my spiritual consciousness came into contact with it, it immediately collapsed."

Murong Qi's pronunciation of the word "powerful" was very strong. Looking back on that incident now, I still have lingering fears.

Spiritual consciousness is the five senses and six senses that monks can separate from the soul and serve as an extension of themselves to detect things around them.Although the collapse of spiritual consciousness does not have a great impact on the monk's body, the soul will be damaged and needs to be well nourished.

Does your spiritual consciousness immediately collapse just by being in contact with an idea?Li Lin and Li Mu looked at each other with serious expressions. "Fortunately, that idea did not continue to follow my movements. I felt... it seemed to have fallen into a state of madness and confusion. It should be that my spiritual consciousness happened to hit the idea spread by a certain person." Murong Qi Said again.

"Do you think that person is a demon cultivator?" Changsun Xiao asked.

"Nine times out of ten. Although it collapsed as soon as it came into contact, I can still feel from the message sent back by my spiritual consciousness at that moment that the idea was full of evil thoughts. What's more, my Pure Heaven Three Yang Technique also produced A feeling of rejection." Murong Qi replied.

"Aqi, tell me, how strong do you think the owner of that idea is?" Li Huai rarely had a serious look on his face, and his voice became lower.

"Very strong. Stronger than you, my second uncle, and stronger than senior Dan Qiuzi. It seems... similar to Canglan Sect's Gu Sect Leader." Murong Qi compared that person with the strong men he had seen on his way to cultivation, and roughly concluded that reached this conclusion.

"With this level of demonic cultivation... Could it be that Ah Qi, you met a certain spirit envoy from the Yinglings?" Changsun Xiao said thoughtfully.

"Or, it may be their high priest." Li Huai continued.

There is another possibility, but no one said it, and everyone looked at each other.

The worst result was that Murong Qi felt the malicious, powerful and crazy thoughts coming from the Spirit Emperor who originally only existed in rumors.

Since no one has ever seen the Spiritual Emperor, most people in that organization tend to think that the Spiritual Emperor is the actual controller of the Yinglings, that is, a fictional person created by the high priest.This woman with the honorific title of "Emperor" is just a symbol or belief.

But Murong Qi's experience in Yuezhou may point to the fact that the Spiritual Emperor is real!
This is really a big deal.

"Do you want them to know about this?" Li Lin asked Sun Xiao and his wife.

The couple, who should have had no hesitation about this issue, now had a tacit understanding. They looked at each other and slowly shook their heads.

Before the events of the past few days, they might have had complete trust in the so-called alliance organization, but now, they had to put a question mark on it.

Previously, Li Mu and Wu Su were ambushed by suspected members of the Canglan Sect in Yunzhou, and later Murong Qi met the Demon Cultivator in Yuezhou, the leader of the cultivation sect.The waters of this cultivation sect are really quite deep.

For some reasons, there are several cultivation families in Kyushu, and their relationship with the cultivation sects is quite subtle.Qizhou Li's family happens to be one of them.

Li Lin and Li Mu naturally had nothing to say.Li Lin is a transparent person and very sensitive to many things.Li Mugang and Wu Su had just experienced the painful killings by members of the Canglan Sect, and had no good impressions of them at all.

As for Murong Qi, she has a good relationship with the daughter of the principal and deputy hall master of Qianfu Hall, and she also has a good relationship with Pei Jin.Qianfutang was one of the cultivation sects that stayed away from the Canglan Sect and that organization.Therefore, I have no opinion on this decision.

"Sister, do you have any other plans after returning to Qizhou this time?" Li Lin asked Murong Qi.

"I plan to rest for a day and then set off for Lizhou." Murong Qi replied.

"Are you going to Lizhou too?" Changsun Xiao asked in surprise.

"Yes. Pei Jin sent me a message saying that traces of the Moon Spirit Envoy appeared in Lizhou." Murong Qi replied.

"Moon Spirit Envoy?" When he heard this name, Li Lin, who had always had a calm face and a stable mood, couldn't help but clenched his fists, and his eyes clearly showed cold hatred.

Yue Lingshi is one of the four spirit messengers of Yinglingzhong and the murderer of Li He and Murong Ge.

The four spirit envoys of the Yingling Clan are named after Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon respectively. They were originally demon cultivators with illustrious reputations. After joining the Yingling Clan, they concealed their original names and were called spirit envoys.

"I must go." Murong Qi said.

She won't miss any opportunity to kill her enemies.

"Sister, you are no match for the Moon Spirit Envoy." After calming down, Li Lin's expression returned to its previous calmness.

"Don't worry, Pei Jin said that this time there are many monks in Lizhou who have advanced cultivation. They plan to surround and kill Yueling Envoy. The two masters of Qianfu Hall are also there." Murong Qi replied.

Li Huaigang was about to speak again, but suddenly he looked in the direction of Li Mansion with a feeling, his expression was incredulous mixed with ecstasy.

"This aura...is that my sister has left seclusion!" he said.

Upon hearing this title, Changsun Xiao and others were stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction of Li Mansion with the same shock.

A woman wearing mysterious clothes and a silver hairpin on her head slowly walked out of the door that suddenly appeared on the wall.

On this day, for the second time, all the sword cultivators in Qizhou felt their swords buzz briefly.In the sky over Qizhou, sword energy roared for hundreds of miles, indicating the return of Ren Xia Jian Li Ru and her Ze Ming, who once dominated the world of cultivation.
