After changing her master, she turned to the ruthless way, and the whole sect knelt down

Xie Liuyin couldn't help but doubt Xie Mingzhu's identity, but now she had no evidence and no way to pull Xie Mingzhu's soul out of her body to see the truth.

She could only keep Yunxuan by her side for the time being, waiting for her to be of use in the future.

Xie Liuyin naturally didn't tell anyone else about her thoughts. She just looked at Yunxuan and asked, "So what's your decision? Do you want to leave with me?"

Yunxuan was stunned for a moment by this sudden question.

She stammered, "I, I don't know if I can go out with you. I haven't tried it yet. I, I..."

She pursed her lips and was silent for a moment, then said to Xie Liuyin seriously, "I want to go out with you!"

After staying in the secret realm for so many years, Yunxuan still has some fear of the outside world.

But she could not forget who caused the misery in her life, nor could she forget who forced the people behind the scenes to give up their afterlife to protect her soul.

The man who harmed her is still high up in the fairyland, acting as a god, enjoying fine clothes and fine wine, and living a carefree life.

If she had to be trapped in the secret realm for the rest of her life, Yun Xuan would rather follow Xie Liuyin and take the risk, no matter what the cost!

"Do you have any way to attach yourself to something?" Xie Liuyin asked.

She also has a space treasure. Since the sword spirit can enter, maybe Yunxuan can also enter.

However, this is Xie Liuyin's backup plan to save her life, and she will not expose it easily. It all depends on whether Yunxuan has any other way.

Yun Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I can attach myself to the Soul Tree. This thing will keep me from being noticed by anyone, and perhaps it can lead me out of the secret realm smoothly."

Yunxuan was not sure if she would be scattered by the cyclone at the entrance to the secret realm if she just followed Xie Liuyin away.

But if there was a soul tree, maybe it would be safer.

Xie Liuyin had heard of soul wood. It was said that it was a good material for making puppets.

When Xie Liuyin thought of the puppet, he seemed to suddenly remember something and reached into his storage bag.

Earlier, when they were still in Qingxiao Sect, Xie Liuyin once again ran into Ah Liu replacing his worn-out leg.

At that time, Xie Liuyin was curious and asked Ah Liu to let her wooden leg show her.

When Ah Liu saw this, he took a piece from his broken leg and gave it to her.

Xie Liuyin felt embarrassed and promised Ah Liu that if she had the chance in the future, she would help Ah Liu find more of this kind of wood so that she could make a few more legs for her.

Thinking of this, Xie Liuyin had already taken out the piece of wood that looked like black jade from his storage bag.

This thing is really magical. When it was on Ah Liu's body, it was clearly flesh-colored like normal human skin, but after being broken off, it turned into an oily black color.

Since soul wood is a good material for making puppets, could it be that the wood used on Ah Liu is soul wood?

As soon as Yunxuan saw what was in Xie Liuyin's hand, she felt an inexplicable attraction, which made her want to drill into the wood.

"Look, is this the soul tree?" Xie Liuyin asked.

Yunxuan didn't recognize the Soul Tree at all; she'd only learned it from a book on ghost cultivation techniques. She'd been a ghost for so many years, and she'd never seen what a Soul Tree looked like.

Feeling the attraction of the wood, Yun Xuan swallowed and said, "I'm not sure if this is it. Why don't you let me crawl in and give it a try?"

Xie Liuyin nodded and placed the block of wood in front of her.

Seeing this, Yunxuan dove in. Soon, a voice came from the wooden block: "This is it, let's pack up and go."

Her tone was much more cheerful than before, and it seemed that she had no intention of coming out of the Soul Tree.

Xie Liuyin said helplessly, "Not to mention that it will take several months for me to finish my training, just think about this palace of yours. Are you just going to abandon it like this?"

Hearing this, Yunxuan could only reluctantly crawl out of the Soul Wood. It was obvious that she really liked this Soul Wood, and the regret on her face when she left didn't seem fake.

"Where are my other fellow disciples? How are they doing now?" Xie Liuyin asked again.

Yun Xuan closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment, then raised her brows slightly, as if she had seen something interesting. "That monk who came with you is quite interesting. He actually shaved his head and became a monk. He even stole the position of abbot from Jie Kong. That old man debated with him, but he just beat him up."

"There are also several female cultivators who performed well. Not long after they went to the North, they encountered foreigners who broke into the village and plundered. They actually killed several of them on the spot. Now they are all female generals."

Yunxuan picked out a few people who performed well and talked to Xie Liuyin about them, but she didn't think much of the rest of the people's behavior.

Especially those who were driven to the north and finally obeyed the farmer's orders and married the stupid son of that family.

Yunxuan took a look and found that they were all male cultivators. She didn't expect that they could not withstand the blow so easily.

At least she was able to fight her way back to the capital from the border, but these people just accepted their fate like that!

Even when the Queen Mother sent people to take them back, they refused and insisted on staying to take care of their husbands and raise their children.

Yunxuan couldn't bear to watch it. She wanted to pull those male cultivators out and ask them what was there to be attached to a husband who would beat people at the slightest provocation and a child who only knew how to order her mother around?

Is it really that difficult to choose between going back to be a princess or staying here to be a slave?!

The male cultivator who learned swordsmanship was better off. At least he knew to escape and didn't actually marry that fool.

But later on, he fell in love with a foreign general who plundered the border, and helped the foreigners to deal with Dazhao!

The most outrageous thing was that the male cultivator from the Hehuan Sect actually hooked Yuan Qing in the illusion, and finally gave his throne to Yuan Qing.

Yuan Qing was deeply moved and decided to take him back to the fairyland!

After reading this, Yunxuan didn’t know what to say for a moment.

She formed a seal with her hands and broke the illusion: "After they wake up, you can coax them to leave first. I will then take back the palace and go with you."

"Wait, is there really no opportunity hidden in this place?" Xie Liuyin was a little surprised.

She came here for the opportunity. If she didn't take anything out, wouldn't it be a waste of so much time?

Yun Xuan shook her head. "I really don't have anything good on hand. How about I copy a few copies of my ghost cultivation techniques and leave them for you?"

"That's not necessary. After we cultivators die, our souls will transform into spiritual energy along with the whole body's spiritual power and return to heaven and earth. There will be no soul left behind, so naturally there is no need for any ghost cultivation techniques." Xie Liuyin sighed.

It seems that next time she should just chase Xie Mingzhu to find the treasure, so as to avoid making a wasted trip.

Yun Xuan thought for a moment, then clapped her hands and said, "I've been in the secret realm for so many years, and I've discovered many places with hidden opportunities. How about I give you a treasure map?"

Xie Liuyin's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "First, tell me what treasures you know and their locations. I'll choose the rest and then give them to others."

As she spoke, she immediately took out a blank jade slip and quickly drew a simple map of the Juelan Secret Realm based on Yunxuan's description.

Listening to Yun Xuan telling him the location of the treasure word by word, Xie Liuyin had already thought about how many good things he would exchange the jade slip for from the sect master after returning to the sect.
