My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

The Shiren Sect is about to open the Lanxi Secret Realm. All the juniors in the sect are in the secret realm. The elders who are in seclusion will not be mentioned for the time being. The elders who are not in seclusion need to start preparing the list of those who will go down the mountain for training every year.

The direct disciples and inner disciples left in groups. If any evil forces want to attack the Shiren Sect, the Shiren Sect will probably be unable to defend against it.

While waiting for Le Shu to arrive, Qi Huixian personally checked on Luo Hanying's condition.

Just like when they first met, Qi Huixian only knew that the flow of spiritual energy around Luo Hanying was a bit off, but she couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong.

Le Shu was suddenly disconnected from Luo Hanying's soul and suffered a backlash, with several cracks appearing in her sea of ​​consciousness, but she had no time to pay attention to it.

She was filled with panic, fearing that her plot would be discovered.

However, after carefully reviewing her actions, Le Shu felt that there was nothing wrong with her. Although Luo Hanying was a useless pawn, it shouldn't affect her.

"Elder Yue, is it possible to infiltrate the Shiren Sect?" the disciple on the other end of the line immediately asked.

Le Shu took a deep breath, hating those people rushing her. She spoke coldly, "No, I know that lord is anxious, but I am having a hard time here. I just wasted a carefully nurtured chess piece."

I'm not sure if I've been exposed, so I need to be extra careful lately. Let's wait until things calm down here, maybe five days later. I'll contact you again in five days.

"Junior Sister Yue? Can you hear me? I am Xu Fengyu from the Discipline Hall. There is a case that requires you to be a witness. Do you have time?"

The echoes from the barrier made Yue Shu's breathing erratic. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind as she tried to comfort herself, telling herself that if the Shi Ren Sect knew she was a spy, they would probably have broken the barrier to capture her long ago. Why would they have come to ask for help?

Le Shu immediately put on a smile, opened the barrier, and inquired about the whole story.

When Le Shu saw the two people standing outside the door, she had a bad feeling—

If it's just a simple matter of being a witness and being taken to the disciplinary hall for a few questions, why would it require two direct disciples to pick someone up?

This lineup seemed more like they were afraid she would flee to escape punishment, and she subconsciously considered the possibility of escaping unscathed from the Shiren Sect.

As Le Shu listened to Xu Fengyu explain what had happened that day, the two of them neither embellished nor tried to cover it up. Their open and honest attitude actually made Le Shu feel more at ease.

Le Shu comforted herself, knowing she was now under someone else's roof and couldn't do anything openly except accept the arrangements of the Shi Ren Sect. Cooperating with them to avoid making things worse and protecting herself was the most important thing.

Ruan Chayan stared at Luo Hanying, who was lying behind the screen, anxiously rubbing the patterns on her clothes.

Several people have examined her and all said they can't see anything wrong with her. If a perfectly healthy person really has no problems, how could she be unconscious?

Qi Huixian sat at the head of the table, surrounded by discussions about the incident. As soon as he saw Le Shu enter the hall, he didn't mince words and immediately flew down, forming hand seals and chanting incantations.

Le Shu scanned the area with her divine sense and discovered so many people, both openly and secretly. She immediately realized that she had probably been exposed.

Without hesitation, she wiped away the blue floral ornament between her eyebrows, and suddenly unleashed the pressure of a Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. The disciples and elders with lower cultivation levels were shaken to their core. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she fled outwards, and the Sky-Splitting Talisman in her hand began to burn.

Qi Huixian's eyes held a hint of surprise, but it was hidden behind the mist and no one could see it.

Qi Huixian flashed forward a hundred steps, reached out and grabbed the vertical harp in the air, and plucked it in her arms. With a flick of her fingertips, several sound waves shattered the talisman paper and simultaneously trapped Yue Shu's movements.

Qi Huixian looked at Le Shu, who was lying on the ground unable to move, and immediately released Tian Jiangyu, making a hand seal and striking Le Shu on the back of the head.

The rain, its surface shimmering with light, hovered in place, awaiting its master's return.

In Qi Huixian's sea of ​​consciousness, Le Shu's recent memories appeared, going back and forth until she suddenly touched a figure hidden behind a white robe. Le Shu struggled painfully, and the images began to shatter.

Ruan Chayan followed the sect leader and elders out, only to witness the bloody scene of Le Shu's head exploding.

Even though the spiritual energy shield erected in front of her blocked the blood splattering towards her, Ruan Chayan remained frozen in place.

A person of flesh and blood is nothing more than dust that can be blown away with a breath here...

Qi Huixian stood up and said, "Let me handle this. Sect Leader Li, please come in with me. I will tell you what I saw."

Sensing Qi Huixian's solemn mood, Li Shuhe asked, "Should we also invite Sect Leader Hua?"

"No need, I will convey the message to you when the time comes." Qi Huixian refused outright. Hua Shiqing has many more things to deal with now, and there is no need for him to do everything personally.

Ruan Chayan accompanied Luo Hanying throughout the entire process without understanding what was going on. When she returned to the Discipline Hall, she saw Luo Hanying had woken up and excitedly went forward to check on her condition.

Luo Hanying didn't look very well. She had no idea what had happened. It felt like she had just been sitting in her cave, communicating with Ruan Chayan in her mind's eye, and now she was in the Discipline Hall in the blink of an eye.

She sat down with Ruan Chayan, who was all smiles, while she rubbed her temples in bewilderment. Qi Huixian, who was at the head of the table, tossed out a jade bottle, which was lifted by spiritual power and stopped in front of Luo Hanying.

Qi Huixian said, "You have also suffered an undeserved calamity. Take the pills first to stabilize your consciousness, and then slowly recuperate in the future."

"Summon Elder Huang and Elder Chen from Xinglin Peak to see me. I need to inform them of their methods for dealing with the Gu worms and to have every cultivator in the entire sect examined."

Everyone seemed to have a lot of questions, but Li Shuhe remained calm and waited for Qi Huixian to organize her thoughts.

Luo Hanying obediently accepted the pill, stood up, bowed, and thanked him. While sitting back down to eat the pill, she listened to Qi Huixian explain the ins and outs of the matter like a storyteller.

Le Shu is a cultivator from the Canghai Realm, an elder of a major sect there. She probably came to the Canglan Realm when the boundary river was about to become impassable.

Over the years, she had been under the orders of her sect leader to dismantle various small sects in the Canglan Realm, and then use cauldrons similar to those in the Yaoxiang Secret Realm to sacrifice cultivators.

The purpose of the cultivators who offered sacrifices at the alchemical cauldron is not very clear. It seems that they were obtaining the spiritual energy needed to sustain the cultivators' survival by taking advantage of the dissipation of spiritual energy in the Canghai Realm.

In Le Shu's memory, the pitch-black alchemy cauldron was everywhere. Every cultivator who was ordered to come to the Canglan Realm would have this strange and evil artifact in their hands.

However, before Le Shu came to the Canglan Realm on the orders of the sect leader, she inadvertently discovered that their sect leader seemed to follow only one white-robed man.

Based on fragments of her memories, it can be inferred that there are quite a few sects like this in the Canghai Realm, who fanatically worship the white-robed man as an immortal from the upper realm.
