The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

Meanwhile, the atmosphere between the Lingxiao Sect and the Qingmu Sect was extremely tense. Disciples from the two sects stood on either side, their gazes meeting with sparks.

The Lingxiao Sect's senior disciple looked solemn as he gazed at the Qingmu Sect members. He said in a deep voice, "How should this dispute be resolved? I hope the Qingmu Sect can give a reasonable explanation."

The Young Master of the Qingmu Sect snorted coldly, "Right and wrong are determined by the hearts of the people. You Lingxiao Sect, please don't be so aggressive."

A young disciple from the Lingxiao Sect couldn't contain himself anymore. He stepped forward and shouted, "You, the Qingmu Sect, are seizing resources and making such unreasonable excuses. Do you really think we're afraid of you?"

A disciple from the Qingmu Sect also retorted, "Stop slandering us. This resource is originally ownerless. Whoever has the ability to obtain it will own it."

The two sides exchanged words, neither willing to give in, and the situation became increasingly tense. Just then, a strange sound suddenly rang out from the sky, and everyone looked up...

As the two sects argued endlessly, they suddenly heard footsteps approaching. These soft yet distinct footsteps stood out in the tense and noisy atmosphere.

Everyone from the Lingxiao Sect and the Qingmu Sect fell silent instantly, turning their heads in the direction of the footsteps, their gazes filled with wariness and confusion. The Lingxiao Sect leader frowned, secretly speculating about the identity and purpose of the newcomers. Li Fengjue, the young leader of the Qingmu Sect, also gripped his magical weapon tightly, ready for battle.

The footsteps were neither hurried nor slow, and each step seemed to step on the tip of everyone's heart, making people feel heavier. As the footsteps got closer, everyone's heartbeats accelerated, and the atmosphere became more solemn.

"Who is it? Showing up at this critical moment." An elder of Lingxiao Sect whispered, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

A disciple of the Qingmu Sect couldn't help but take a few steps forward, hoping to get a better look at the person. As everyone's gaze focused, a mysterious figure gradually emerged...

Luo Lingshan had been nervously watching the heated debate between the two sects from the crowd, her heart filled with worry. Suddenly, she saw someone familiar. A mixture of surprise and joy crossed her face, and she instinctively shouted, "Lord Regent, help!"

Her voice was sharp and urgent, instantly breaking the brief silence at the scene. Everyone's eyes turned from the direction of the footsteps to Luo Lingshan.

Luo Lingshan's eyes were fixed on the familiar figure, as if she had grasped at a life-saving straw. Her body was trembling slightly with excitement, and she completely ignored the surprised looks of the people around her.

The man she called the Regent paused slightly when he heard the shout, and his eyes quickly locked onto Luo Lingshan's location, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Xing Xuanli and Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) walked hand in hand slowly to the front of the crowd. A hint of confusion crossed Xing Xuanli's beautiful face as she softly asked, "What's going on?" Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet it carried a gentle power that was impossible to ignore.

Everyone's attention instantly shifted from Luo Lingshan to the suddenly appearing couple. Lingxiao Sect's Senior Brother, Bai Yize, looked at them with a flicker of surprise, but quickly regained his composure. Qingmu Sect's Young Master, Li Fengjue, frowned, secretly speculating about their intentions.

Xing Xuanli glanced at the crowd, seeing Luo Lingshan's expectant eyes. Then, she looked at the tense atmosphere between the two factions, and her doubts grew even more intense. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) held Xing Xuanli's hand tightly, giving her a silent sense of support and protection.

"Could you tell me why you are arguing here?" Xing Xuanli asked again, her eyes full of sincerity and concern.

Li Fengjue bowed to Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) and Xing Xuanli and said, "So it's the Regent and the Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Palace. My apologies. I didn't expect that the Regent and the Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Palace are so affectionate. It's really enviable." After saying that, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and it was unclear whether he was truly envious or had some other deeper meaning.

Xing Xuanli smiled slightly and responded politely, "Young Sect Master, you're welcome." Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) just nodded slightly, his expression still stern, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

Li Fengjue went on to say, "I had some disputes with the Lingxiao Sect today, which disturbed your pleasure. This is really not my intention." His tone seemed sincere, but there was a hint of toughness in it.

Xing Xuanli raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Since there is a dispute, I hope it can be resolved calmly and amicably, so as not to damage the harmony between the two factions."

Li Fengjue laughed dryly and said, "The Palace Master is absolutely right, but the right and wrong of this matter still need to be explained in detail."

The Lingxiao Sect erupted in fury upon hearing Li Fengjue's distorted claims. Senior Brother Bai Yize stepped forward, glaring, and shouted, "Li Fengjue, stop your lies! It was clearly your Qingmu Sect that acted unreasonably and seized our resources, and now you dare to distort the facts!"

The disciples of the Lingxiao Sect also echoed, "That's right, you Qingmu Sect have gone too far!" "Don't think that a few random words can cover up your evil deeds!"

For a moment, everyone in the Lingxiao Sect was filled with righteous indignation, and they were all rubbing their hands, as if they were ready to rush up and argue with the Qingmu Sect at any time.

Xing Xuanli listened to the conversation between the two sides and had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. She frowned slightly, and a glimmer of thought flashed in her clear eyes.

She opened her red lips slightly, and spoke in a soft yet clear voice, "Everyone, please be patient and listen to me. Since the dispute is over resources, why not calmly discuss a fair and reasonable distribution method? Why bother with such a big fight and damage the harmony between the two factions?"

Xing Xuanli paused, her eyes sweeping across the Lingxiao Sect, then towards the Qingmu Sect, and continued, "The Lingxiao Sect believes the Qingmu Sect is usurping resources, while the Qingmu Sect claims there's something else going on. How about we each send a representative to explain the whole story in detail? Together, we can determine right and wrong and find a proper solution.

After hearing what Xing Xuanli said, everyone fell into a brief silence, thinking about her proposal.

When Luo Lingshan heard what Xing Xuanli said, her eyebrows immediately raised and she shouted angrily: "Xing Xuanli, what's your business, you vixen! Stop pretending to be a good person here." Her eyes were full of jealousy and resentment, and her voice was sharp and piercing.

Xing Xuanli was slightly taken aback by this sudden insult, a flicker of disbelief crossing her face. But she quickly regained her composure, looking at Luo Lingshan calmly, and said, "Miss Luo, I'm just trying to resolve this dispute. Why would you be so hurtful?"

Luo Lingshan, however, refused to give in. With her hands on her hips, she continued to curse, "Hmph, you're the only one who knows how to pretend to be nice. Who knows what you're thinking? Don't think you can show off your power here just because you look like a fox."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han)'s face darkened when he saw Luo Lingshan being so rude. He was about to speak to defend Xing Xuanli, but was gently stopped by Xing Xuanli.

Xing Xuanli touched her face, a slightly mocking smile curling up at the corner of her mouth. She suddenly stepped forward, her figure as light as the wind. She leaned over slightly and whispered in Luo Lingshan's ear, "But what can I do? Who made (Nangong Han) like my seductive face? You've been trying to capture him for so long and still can't win him over, right, Captor?"

When Luo Lingshan heard this, her face turned pale and her body trembled involuntarily. She stared at Xing Xuanli with wide eyes in disbelief, her lips trembling as she tried to refute, but was speechless for a moment.

Xing Xuanli straightened up and looked down at Luo Lingshan, her eyes filled with the pride and disdain of a victor. Everyone around was stunned by this sudden scene, and the atmosphere became even more tense and strange.

Luo Lingshan screamed in her heart: "She knows, how does she know? This is impossible! I have been hiding it so well, how could she have discovered my secret? Did I reveal a flaw somewhere? No, I absolutely cannot let her ruin my plan!" Luo Lingshan's heart was filled with panic and anger, her thoughts were a mess, and her eyes revealed an unconcealable panic.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) asked softly, "Lier, what did you say to Miss Luo?" There was a hint of confusion and concern in his eyes.

Xing Xuanli said lightly: "It's nothing, I just want to warn Miss Luo not to seduce a married man." Her tone was calm, as if she was just stating a trivial matter.

Luo Lingshan shuddered at these words, her heart filled with bitterness. "Miss Luo, he calls her Miss Luo, why does he call me so distantly?" She kept asking herself in her heart, tears welling up in her eyes.

Once upon a time, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) was very caring towards her and addressed her affectionately. But now, everything has changed. He only has eyes for Xing Xuanli, and only calls her this cold and distant name.

Luo Lingshan bit her lips tightly, trying hard not to let the tears fall, and secretly swore in her heart: "I will not give up like this, I definitely won't!"

Suddenly, another person approached. Everyone's attention was drawn to this new movement. The newcomer, dressed in a black robe, stood tall and straight, with steady steps. He wore a silver mask, making his features unclear, but the aura emanating from him made it clear that he was no ordinary person.

As he approached, the atmosphere grew more tense. Xing Xuanli narrowed her eyes slightly, secretly on guard. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) also pulled Xing Xuanli behind him, protecting her in front of him.

Luo Lingshan's eyes flashed with anticipation, as if she had seen a savior. The people from the Lingxiao Sect and the Qingmu Sect also stared at this mysterious uninvited guest, speculating on his intentions.

Someone whispered quietly, "Is that someone from Shadow Killing Tower?" Their voices trembled with disbelief, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing. "How could they appear in this secret realm? This is unbelievable!"

The people nearby shuddered upon hearing these subtle yet terrified words, and quickly responded in a low voice, "Shh, keep your voice down, don't let them hear. The people from Shadow Killing Tower are always secretive and ruthless. There must be an unusual reason for them to be here."

"Could it be that they also have intentions towards the treasures in this secret realm?" The person who spoke earlier lowered his voice, frowned, and his eyes were full of worry.

"Who knows? The Shadow Killing Tower is mysterious and their thoughts are hard to fathom. I just hope they don't come into conflict with us, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Another person said worriedly, but he didn't dare to take his eyes off the black-robed figure.

For a moment, everyone around was in a state of tension and anxiety, and was full of fear and doubt about the appearance of the people from Yingsha Tower.

Under the tense gaze of the crowd, the mysterious figure at the head of the Shadow Killing Tower slowly nodded to Xing Xuanli. His masked face concealed no expression, but the slight nod seemed to convey a special kind of respect.

Xing Xuanli, upon seeing this, remained calm and composed, nodding her head lightly in response. Her gaze was clear and resolute, without the slightest hint of fear or flattery due to the other person's mysterious and powerful identity.

The people around were filled with surprise and speculation as they watched this scene. What kind of relationship did Xing Xuanli, the Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Palace, have with the Shadow Killing Tower? Why would the leader of the Shadow Killing Tower make such a gesture of kindness towards her?

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) stood beside Xing Xuanli, a hint of doubt in his eyes, but seeing Xing Xuanli so calm, he didn't ask any further questions. Luo Lingshan bit her lip and wondered: How many unknown secrets and powerful connections does Xing Xuanli have?

Suddenly, more people arrived. They were from the Weapon Refining Sect and the Hundred Flowers Palace. The Weapon Refining Sect disciples, each carrying a large refining chest, were young and energetic, their expressions serious and focused. Their leader was a resolute young man, his gaze radiating wisdom and composure.

The disciples of Baihua Palace were all young women, dressed in a variety of colorful palace attires, resembling the blossoms of spring. Leading the group was a beautiful woman, whose every gesture exuded elegance and nobility.

Their appearance made the already complicated situation even more chaotic. Everyone's eyes shuttled back and forth between the various forces, secretly speculating about their intentions and positions.

The leader of the Weapon Refining Sect cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone, may I, the Weapon Refining Sect, have a say in the disputes within this secret realm?"

The leading woman from the Baihua Palace also smiled and said in a clear voice, "With such a lively occasion, our Baihua Palace naturally cannot be absent."

For a moment, the atmosphere in this secret realm became increasingly tense, as if a bigger storm was about to come.

Everyone will gather under a towering tree in the secret realm. This tree soars into the sky, its thick trunk requiring dozens of people to hug, and its lush branches and leaves like a giant green umbrella, blocking out the sun.

People from all sides rushed in, the clatter of footsteps and conversation intertwined. The disciples of the Lingxiao Sect, dressed in uniform blue robes, stood in a neat formation. The members of the Qingmu Sect wore alert expressions, their gazes constantly scanning the surroundings. The members of the Shadow Killing Tower remained mysterious, standing silently to the side. The young disciples of the Refining Weapon Sect surveyed their surroundings curiously. The women of the Hundred Flowers Palace gathered together, chatting in low voices, occasionally letting out a silvery laugh.

When everyone arrived, the open space under the tree seemed a bit crowded. But at this moment, no one spoke. The atmosphere was solemn and depressing, and everyone was waiting for what would happen next.

The good brothers met again. When Gu Beichen saw Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), a brilliant smile instantly broke out on his face and he shouted happily: "Third brother, third sister-in-law!" His voice was crisp and loud, full of the joy and excitement of reunion, which stood out in this slightly tense atmosphere.

Gu Beichen couldn't wait to run towards Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) and Xing Xuanli, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Third brother, third sister-in-law, I finally found you. I'm so happy!" He spoke excitedly, panting, his words like a rapid-fire cannon.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) looked at Gu Beichen with a smile, his eyes full of kindness, and said, "I didn't expect that we would meet here." Xing Xuanli nodded slightly with a gentle smile on her face.

When the people around heard Gu Beichen's call, they all turned their eyes to them, curiously watching the intimate interaction between these people, and the originally solemn atmosphere eased a little.
