Lady Su's Revenge

Chapter 597 The Situation

After Tantai Yu appeared, everything made sense. At the moment he promised Su Li to merge Ghost Valley into Ni Sect, the entire mountain base was renewed overnight. All the disciples felt this change when they sat in meditation in the early morning.

“What’s the matter? The speed of my cultivation progress is unreasonable!”

“My practice has accelerated. Hey, when did the nimbus in our sect become so strong?”

“Hurry up and see the medicine field!”

“What happened there?”

Some people came over, shouted and panted. Everyone’s look changed slightly, and they stopped what they were doing and rushed over. When they arrived at the medicine field and saw the luxuriant green mountain, they were all petrified with surprise.

“The medicine mountain…came to life!”

“Is it because of the female practitioner who came yesterday?”

“Amazing!”

“I know that Ghost Valley will not continue to decline!”

There was joy among the disciples and the elders as well, except for Elder Su who insulted to Su Li.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Nangong, doesn’t Senior Su mind what happened yesterday?”

Elder Su asked with an embarrassed expression, and Nangong waved his hand, “I have already asked...Senior Su. Because of the junior grandmaster’s showing up, Senior Su doesn’t care it. You must learn to moderate your temper in case you will be killed by a powerhouse who has a fiery temper some day!”

Elder Su was delighted. When she heard these words, her face became a little pale and she nodded repeatedly.

Outside the bamboo building.

Tantai Yu looked reluctant, “Why are you leaving so soon?”

Su Li smiled, “Senior Fellow Apprentice, you know the situation of me. If I am idle, it would be good for the enemy.”

“You always like to burden yourself with everything.”

Tantai Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, “I will watch you go.”

“Thank you, Senior Fellow Apprentice.”

Su Li chuckled. Then she flicked her sleeves and floated in the air. Tantai Yu immediately tapped the ground with his tiptoe and quickly followed her.

Seeing the elation of the disciples, Tantai Yu was astonished. “Is the pneuma fortune carried by the first of Tianjiao List really so powerful?”

“This is the rule of this circle.”

Su Li smiled and explained, “After Ziye and others went back, I heard the good news that the realms of all the practitioners in my sect, from the disciples to the elders, went up a great notch and their power soared as well. What happened in your sect have nothing on that of mine.”

“It’s no wonder that Shengtian Shrine can be the very top of all the holy sects.”

Tantai Yu sighed and suddenly thought of something. He wished to speak but stopped on a second thought.

Su Li smiled, “Senior Fellow Apprentice, there are still some doubts and suspicions. But it’s not the time to figure them out.”

Tantai Yu was startled, and then he smiled, “Okay, I won’t ask.”

Su Li nodded and looked a little serious, “Although no one know Ghost Valley quietly merges into Ni Sect, maybe Fate Palace could divine that. We have to guard against it.”

Tantai Yu said with a solemn expression, “It’s true that Fate Ancestor’s methods are omnipotent. However, I still have the treasure left by the old man of Tianxing. Although there are some cracks on it, it is not destroyed after its last use.”

“Oh?”

Su Li raised her eyebrows, “Can I have a look?”

“Yeah, sure!”

Tantai Yu handed an ordinary white round jade pendant to Su Li.

Su Li observed it intently, and then she was shocked.

This jade pendant was actually...a curb!

If she hadn’t happened to be practicing the method of curb given to her by Ye Che, she would not have been able to tell that it was clearly the curb condensed to its limit rather than a jade pendant.

Turning the intangible thing into tangible. This realm seemed to be “the peerless top of the curb” that Ye Che had said!

“Who is the old man of Tianxing?”

Su Li suddenly raised her head with a more serious expression.

It was the first time that Tantai Yu had seen his junior sister apprentice wore such a face like this. He was nervous and said in a deep voice, “He is the ancestor of Tianxing Valley, but I don’t know where Tianxing Valley is.”

“I know.”

Su Li’s eyes narrowed. It seemed that she should visit the Head of the Tianyake Attic, Xie Wei, after the situation was stabilized.

After that, Su Li used the curb jade pendant to draw a large tactical matrix for Ghost Valley, which enclosed the entire medicine mountain. This matrix didn’t have protective function. It was only for covering up the nature’s mystery.

It took two days for Su Li to set up the tactical matrix. After that, Su Li left hurriedly.

The good show of Jiuzhou Region would be on stage.

Su Li’s eyes brightened and her speed skyrocketed. With a long rainbow behind her in the sky, she flew towards the distance.

...

One day later, there were lights and festoons in the pavilions and palaces of Ni Sect, and there was no sign of tension at all.

In the main hall of the sect, Hua Yan had a solemn face, frowning and pacing around.

Not long after, Ling Qinglan walked in from outside.

Hua Yan looked at him and asked, “Haven’t Grand Elder come back yet?”

Ling Qinglan shook his head and said calmly, “She must be busy with something else, but it doesn’t matter. Those people have already arrived. Even if the troops of Shengtian Shrine come here now, we wouldn’t be afraid of them.”

“Naturally, we are not afraid!”

Hua Yan said with calm eyes and a firm voice, “Grand Elder has long expected that after the Tianjiao Battle, the top holy sects will refuse to suffer the insults in silence, and they will surely gather many other holy sects to come here and attack us. However, due to the wise decisions of Grand Elder, we won’t fail. In addition...”

Hua Yan smiled, “Even Ni Sect becomes famous in Tianjiao Battle, it is still a flash in the pan in the people’s eyes. They may think Ni Sect will be ruined under Fate Palace’s attack. Only after winning this battle, Ni Sect’s repute would be highly improved, and we could have the real capital to contend with Fate Ancestor!”

“The momentum is indispensable!”

Yan Ziye walked from the outside with a smile, “These words are what Honored Master has said. Don’t worry. Honored Master will come back soon. At that time...everyone will be surprised.”

He glanced at Ling Qinglan with a brighter smile.

“Ziye, you are back?”

Hua Yan was surprised, “Didn’t you go to Jiguang Sect?”

“I’ve already invited some people here!”

Yan Ziye smiled, “Xuan Jingzhou’s family and Wen Tingshan have been arranged to live in the guest palace. When they saw me, they followed me without saying anything. It is so easy.”

Hua Yan nodded slightly, “The rest depends on how much Wuxue can do.”

After the Tianjiao Battle, sometime the news that Ni Sect offended Fate Palace and many other holy sects began to be spread to every corner of Qingshui Circle through the channels of Tianyake Attic.

Originally, Shengtian Shrine was still negotiating with the other holy sects about the geographical division of Jiuzhou Region after they eliminated Ni Sect. When the Great Lord of Shengtian Palace who sat in the center heard this news, he frowned for a second and then quickly unfolded his brows.

“The rumors spread so quickly. There must be someone who promotes it.”

Tu Zhi of Shenbei Holy Sect frowned and said in a low voice, “After all, it’s a scandal to eliminate the sect and then occupy its region.”

“Ha-ha. Senior Fellow Apprentice Tu, you are wrong.”

The old man with white eyebrows sitting in the position of Xiuluo Holy Sect shook his head, “Ni Sect has offended us first, and it destroyed our sect’s future. It is a great sin of them. It would be justifiable even if we flatten Ni Sect.”

“That’s right!”

The middle-aged man in the gray robe in the seat of Han Sect nodded and said in a deep voice, “They dared to kill two holy boys of my sect. It will not soothe my hatred towards Ni Sect even if I shatter every person in Ni Sect!”

The others sitting around heard those words and stood up to comfort him. But no one knew what they were thinking actually.

“How many holy sects are here?”

The Great Lord of Shengtian Palace raised his head slightly, and then a half of his solemn face appeared from the shadow. An attendant immediately answered in a low voice,

“Except for Fenglei Holy Sect, Shengxue Sect and the neutral sects headed by the Tianhe Sect, all the holy sects have arrived, totaling fifty sects.”

“Fifty?”

The old man with white eyebrows from Xiuluo Holy Sect frowned, “Why are there three missing?”

For a long time, the fifty-three holy sects which followed the Fate Palace had never reduced.

When the attendant heard the words, he immediately explained, “After Tianyin Tribe was expelled, Shenglan Sect failed to be on the list due to the accident in Tianjiao Battle, so its grade slid. And everyone including the elders of Fenguang Hall, which we originally wanted to support, did not come back to their sect....”

“Who replaced it?”

The middle-aged man in the gray robe from Han Sect asked.

The attendant broke out into a cold sweat and glanced at the Great Lord of Shengtian Palace. After receiving his approval, the attendant said in a low voice, “It’s Jiguang Sect. Xuan Jingzhou has always hated the Shengtian Palace very much. I’m afraid...”

Hearing this, the brows of the lords of many sects frowned.

“As timid as a hare!”

The Great Lord of Shengtian Palace stood up, “Since there are a great number of rumors in the outside world, we don’t have to talk about it. We should destroy Ni Sect first and then Jiguang Sect. Jiuli Region will be included into the division. What do you think of this?”

Two big regions!

The eyes of the lords of many holy sects brightened. And then they all nodded.

A cold light flashed through the eyes of the Great Lord of Shengtian Palace. This time... both Ankui Valley and Huangxing Hall assumed an ambiguous attitude and did not want to make a move. Moreover, Su Jiuzhou continued to imprison the holy boy of Shengtian Shrine but let go of the holy girls and holy boys of the other three sects. She must have something to hide!

...

At this moment, Yin and Yang Region.

Through Dongfang Wuxue’s efforts, the news was spread throughout the Qingshui Circle. Although the information in Yin and Yang Region was blocked, there was still some source of the news. In addition, Jiang Run had returned. Soon the whole story was quickly restored.

In the study, Fang Yuan frowned and sat silently on the side.

Su Qingtan was shocked.

“Su Qingshui’s original name is Su Jiuzhou? Is she the lord of Ni Sect? The people Ni Sect assembled are the former subordinates of Linli Building. Yan Ziye, Ling Qinglan and Su Jiuzhou occupy the top three of Tianjiao List? Run, is it real?”

Jiang Run glanced at the Master Ling Mo, who was standing by his sword. Then he nodded earnestly and said firmly, “It’s definitely real!”

“Something big happened.”

Su Qingtan stared at the information that had just been sent on the desktop. It was the first time that he had showed an irresolute expression.

Fifty-two sects united with Shengtian Shrine. Even the newly-known Ni Sect occupied the Jiuzhou Region, the odds would be against Ni Sect.

Help?

Or not help?

Even if he decided to help them, it seemed that it was late for him to take an action.

“Ling Mo, what do you think?”

Hearing Su Qingtan calling him, Ling Mo opened his eyes and turned to look at Fang Yuan, “You have been in contact with Su Jiuzhou for the longest time. How do you feel about her shocking move?”

Fang Yuan shook his head and kept silent for a long time. Then he said,

“I can’t see through her.”

Ling Mo pretended to be normal, “I will be on the alert, but make no move now. Give me a few more minutes to think about it.”

Fang Yuan watched Ling Mo suddenly leave. Then his eyes flickered.

Where was Ling Mo going at this time?
