Yinshan Record

Chapter 698 Unraveling the Mystery Revealed
Madam Xie is a modern woman...

Su Che repeated the name over and over, but had no recollection of it. The term seemed to have a special meaning within the demonic sect system, but Su Che had no knowledge of it.

White Deer Cave has some behind-the-scenes communication with the Demonic Sect. The Demonic Sect actually tracked Madam Xie all the way here. So, Madam Xie might be hiding nearby.

Su Che thought of this "old friend" and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

Madam Xie always liked to walk on the edge of a knife.

Why is Beiji Yuangong pursuing her?

Su Che now truly hopes that the senior Yin-Yang Dharma King is still by his side. With this senior guiding him, the current predicament can naturally be resolved.

However, there is an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with right now.

Su Che found a secluded spot, secretly activated his magic, and a ghostly light flashed behind his head. A pale, eerie spirit, accompanied by a gust of cold wind, floated in front of Su Che.

"The sinner Lian Chengbi pays his respects to the imperial carriage of Lord You."

This vengeful spirit was the very soul of the young master Lian, the one from Bailudong who had previously been killed by Su Che.

Under the circumstances, Su Che didn't have time to perform a full-fledged soul-stealing technique. Such an action was too evil, and it would not only be unpleasant for those around him, but also for his fellow disciples Li Shouchang and Jiang Shoucheng.

However, for the current Third Young Master Su, it is a piece of cake to snatch some remnant souls, mold them into a ghost, and then drag them out for questioning.

"I'm here to ask you, where are you from, and how long have you been a disciple of the White Deer Cave School?"

"The criminal is from Bingzhou in the Northern Dynasty. He was born in Pingcheng and has been a disciple of Bailudong School for more than two hundred years."

The lifespan of a cultivator who has attained the Rejuvenation Pill is three to five hundred years. For Lian Chengbi to achieve this in just over two hundred years is not considered slow even in the cultivation world.

"Do you know why the White Deer Cave collects fates?"

"Our sect collects destinies for the sake of all living beings."

That's nonsense.

Su Che glanced at the blank expression on the Yin spirit's face and couldn't help but sigh.

This is something hastily created; it not only lacks inspiration, but its own memory is also incomplete.

Of course, Su Che didn't think there was any real secret inside White Deer Cave that these disciples at the Core Formation level would know.

These people are good at running errands, but when it comes to having a comprehensive understanding of the situation, they fall far short.

"What kind of magic is the power within you that can isolate all supernatural abilities?"

"Reporting to Lord You, what the sinner possessed was not supernatural power, but rather the power cultivated according to the sect's rules after consuming elixirs. However, it could only be maintained for a brief moment and would consume a considerable amount of vital energy..."

Pill?

Is the White Deer Cave a place where people cultivate their destinies into monsters, then mix these monsters into elixirs for others to consume?

This seems to be different from the destiny I had imagined.

"Fate can be refined into elixirs? What kind of logic is that?"

Su Che casually mentioned it, and the spirit immediately replied.

"Destiny is not something ethereal or illusory; it is a product of the Xuandu Palace's original revision of the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind..."

These words suddenly exploded in Su Che's mind.

Not bad.

The concept of destiny, simply explained as a person's fate, is far too simplistic.

It can be separated, transformed into different properties, and even possess power, which is obviously completely different from my understanding of "fate" or "destiny".

What does it mean that it is merely a "product of revising the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind"?
"What did you say? What do you mean by revising the Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind elements...?"

Before Su Che could finish speaking, he saw Lian Chengbi's spirit suddenly turn into a wisp of yin energy and dissipate into the world, as if blown by some evil wind.

This……

Without a trace, it was gone just like that.

Su Che had some guesses in his mind, and turned his head to look at the sky above.

Even in that pitch-black expanse, a beautiful light still burst forth.

The dissipation of this evil spirit is definitely not a normal phenomenon.

Su Che himself followed the path of the Ghost Lord Youjun, and the Yin spirits were backed by his own magical power. If he didn't take action himself, they wouldn't easily dissipate on their own.

The annihilation of that evil spirit seemed to have no reason at all. However, Su Che could vaguely sense that the spirit's dissipation was a form of punishment transmitted by the laws of heaven and earth.

Revealing heavenly secrets means incurring karmic consequences.

But what exactly happened?

Su Che was completely baffled.

Following the traces left behind, Su Che reunited with Li Shouchang and Jiang Shoucheng.

"Junior Brother Su, have you gained anything?"

As soon as Jiang Shoucheng saw Su Che return, he immediately got straight to the point and asked.

“People from the Arctic Yuan Palace have infiltrated.”

Su Che then described the appearance of the people he had seen.

Jiang Shoucheng frowned upon hearing this.

"That Ye Hu is indeed quite famous in the north now, but he is only at the Core Formation stage and is not considered a rising star in the Demonic Sect. As for that dancer, she is probably Luo Yan'er, a disciple of Miao Gao Tian who has been making waves recently."

"This woman is skilled in seduction and has a lot of clever ideas. She is very famous in the north."

Li Shouchang smiled upon hearing this.

"Despite his clever schemes, he's still completely outmaneuvered by Junior Brother Su."

"We just need to know these things. Don't talk about them when we get back, so as not to cause any trouble for our junior brother."

Jiang Shouchang frowned deeply: "Junior Brother Su, you've already met them? Did they spot you?"

"I went over to say hello, and in just a few words, I heard quite a bit of news."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shoucheng offered some advice.

“Junior brother, what you’re doing is a bit too risky. Although there are earth immortals from Xuandu Palace guarding the heavens, the demonic people from the Demonic Sect may not be here in their true forms. If they have ill intentions, you could suffer the consequences.”

Su Che blushed upon hearing this. If it came to not using his true form, the Third Young Master Su was no less capable, as he also had an avatar sitting in the curtained tent of White Deer Cave.

"But have you two senior brothers ever heard of the name Moderna?"

"Modenga woman?"

Jiang Shoucheng shook his head upon hearing this.

"It sounds like the name of the Demonic Sect. The Heavenly Demon script used by the Demonic Sect contains laws and regulations. If you want to decipher it, besides going to the Demonic Sect, you might have to go to the monks in the west to decipher it."

Li Shouchang explained, "Junior brother, are you saying that the Beiji Yuan Palace came here to find this woman, Modengjia, and that entering the Blood River Realm is secondary?"

"I think they're trying to do two things at the same time: they want to find the Moderna woman, and they also want to find some benefits in the Blood River Realm."

Su Che said, "Why don't we ask around in the sect and check the records? If this woman, Modengjia, has a significant background, we'll surely be able to find her."

Li Shouchang nodded upon hearing this, saying, "Junior Brother is right. I will inform the sect immediately. How did you hear about the White Deer Cave?"

"I've already planted a seed, and I expect to reap the rewards soon."

Su Che then asked the two men, "I wonder how you two senior brothers think we should proceed next?"

“It is not advisable for our sect to make a big show of itself right now,” Li Shouchang sighed. “At first, it was just because we were afraid of being looked down upon if we were to lose our limelight. But now it seems that this situation is unpredictable. It would be better for us to stay in the background and be careful in our agreement.”

"How about we blend in with the group at Yuyang Mountain? What do you two senior brothers think?"

Su Che thought for a moment and said.

"Yuyang Mountain?"

“That’s right. Yuyang Mountain is a reputable sect, and their actions should not conflict with our sect. Miss Xue has even spoken to us, so we can use their name to enter the Blood River Realm together.”

"But didn't we have a plan with the East Sea Sword Palace and the Divine Firmament Sect..."

"It won't affect anything. I'll talk to them about it, but I'll change it from overt to covert. I think they'll agree."

"That's the only way."

Seeing that both Jiang Shoucheng and Li Shouchang had agreed, Su Che felt relieved.

"In that case, shall we head to the campsite on Yuyang Mountain first?"
