The Black Lotus Reborn: The Entire Sect Kneels and Begs for My Forgiveness

Under the sky, the night was dark and windless.

A figure appeared outside the Misty Valley; it was none other than the Azure Lotus Master who had come to rescue Lu Jinxin and Jun Ce.

"This is it."

Master Qinglian's clear, cold eyes gleamed in the night.

Several days ago, the Biluo Sect Master received news that Lihuo Manor was plotting to frame the Biluo Sect disciples during the battle at Wanglian Lake, resulting in heavy losses for the Biluo Sect disciples.

When Biluo Sect learned of this news, Master Qinglian was still in seclusion.

Since first achieving the state of oneness with heaven and man, Master Qinglian had several dreams of celestial secrets.

His first dream of heavenly secrets was that he himself would ascend to become an earth immortal decades later.

The second Heavenly Dream was that his second disciple, Jun Ce, ascended to become an Earth Immortal ten years later.

The third dream of the Heavenly Secret was originally thought to be about the successful ascension of his most fortunate disciple, Lu Jinxin... but it turned out not to be Lu Jinxin.

Just as Master Qinglian was racking his brains trying to figure it out, the sect leader suddenly sent a message, ordering him to go and retrieve the other Biluo Sect disciples.

Considering that his disciples were all outside, Master Qinglian made an exception and agreed this time.

Just as he was about to set off, he received a distress call from Lu Jinxin, and he had no choice but to go and rescue her.

Including the last time, this is the second time Lu Jinxin has asked for help in a short period of time. When Master Qinglian took Lu Jinxin as his disciple, it was because Lu Jinxin's birth chart was special and she had a rare destiny.

This kind of destiny can bring blessings to relatives and friends, and boost the overall fortune of Qinglian Peak.

However, it seems that Lu Jinxin's luck has not been very good lately.

He followed the trail and searched all the way until he finally found the Misty Valley.

"Jin Xin, what are you doing in a place like this?"

Master Qinglian frowned; this Misty Valley clearly wasn't a good place.

He entered the Misty Valley and quickly found Jun Ce and Lu Jinxin, who were trapped in the formation.

These past few days, Lu Jinxin and Jun Ce have been trapped in the Eight Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Formation, utterly helpless and desperate.

Several times, Jun Ce was injured while trying to save Lu Jin Xin.

Each time he was injured, Jun Ce became increasingly impatient with Lu Jin Xin. In the last few days, Jun Ce even felt that he was incredibly stupid to have followed Lu Jin Xin to such a godforsaken place.

Why hasn't Master arrived yet?

Lu Jinxin had lost count of how many times she had repeated this phrase.

Jun Ce sat to the side with a cold expression, his Taoist robe already tattered.

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be trapped here."

"Second Senior Brother, what do you mean by that? I should be the one saying that. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in a place like this."

Lu Jinxin was also full of resentment.

In the original story, it was Jun Ce who arrived at the Misty Valley and also found the Earth Immortal's Cave.

Who knows how the immortal's cave disappeared?

"Lu Jinxin, didn't you say you dreamed that there was an opportunity here?"

Jun Ce stared at Lu Jinxin with suspicion.

Lu Jin panicked. She stammered, unsure of what to say.

"Explain yourself clearly, what exactly did you dream about?"

Jun Ce's gaze was icy as he stared intently at Lu Jinxin.

Suddenly, the two felt the Eight Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Formation begin to shake, indicating that someone was trying to break the formation.

Both of them beamed with joy and said almost in unison,

"Master!"

Master has arrived.

"Jin Xin, Jun Ce, are you both alright?"

Sure enough, the voice of Master Qinglian came from outside the formation.

"Master, please save us!"

Upon hearing Qinglian Shangren's voice, Lu Jinxin was both excited and overjoyed. Her master truly loved her the most; her master had come to save her.

"This formation is rather tricky; I'm currently trying to figure it out."

Master Qinglian immediately realized that the formation was no ordinary formation; it was the Eight Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Formation that Elder Wang had used to trap Long Jiuqing in the Cold Abyss.

This formation is not easy to break.

Despite the various methods Master Qinglian used outside, he was unable to break the Eight Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Formation and rescue the two.

"This is the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Heaven Formation. Even with my power, I cannot break through this formation from the outside. You must find a way to break through from the inside."

Master Qinglian pondered for a moment.

"How could this be? Even you, Master, couldn't do anything about it?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Ce and Lu Jinxin's faces, which had been full of joy, turned ashen.

They didn't expect that even their master couldn't break the formation.

I wonder who could be so malicious as to set up such a formation here.

"Please be patient, allow me to think about it some more."

Master Qinglian recalled that the sect leader had mentioned that the method by which Long Jiuqing was able to break free from the Eight Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Formation was likely...

"My lady, Jin Xin, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Master, please tell me the good news first."

"The good news is that this is the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Heaven Formation, similar to the one that imprisoned Long Jiuqing back then. However, compared to the formation that imprisoned him, this formation is less powerful, suggesting that the person who set it up was not very strong."

Jun Ce and Lu Jinxin both breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that although their strength was inferior to Long Jiuqing's, they still had a chance to escape from the formation.

"Master, what's the bad news?"

"If you want to leave the formation, you will have to make a certain sacrifice. One of you must burn your spiritual root and use its power to break the formation."

Master Qinglian sighed.

Jun Ce and Lu Jinxin's expressions both changed.

Lu Jinxin glanced at Jun Ce beside her and whispered,

"Second Senior Brother, I have only one spiritual root. If I burn my spiritual root, it will be ruined."

The emperor remained silent.

He does have two spiritual roots, fire and wood, but if he were to burn one of them, his cultivation level would likely drop by half.

"Your Excellency, as the second senior brother..."

"Master, I understand."

The emperor agreed, but a strong sense of resentment arose in his heart.

He finally understood how Ye Yunong felt back then; his master was truly biased.

"Yun Nong, I was wrong before, I was so wrong,"

Jun Ce smiled bitterly to himself, saying nothing, but a shadow fell over his eyes. He gathered his inner energy, and the wood spirit root within him ignited...

Ye Yunong felt her eyelids twitching, as if something was happening.

She sighed and gazed at the vast expanse of night ahead.

"Where exactly did Long Jiuqing hide?"

After Ye Yunong and Bai Zhi parted ways, they did not chase after Meng Qingchen and the others.

She didn't think they could find Long Jiuqing at all.

Just as Ye Yunong had predicted, Meng Qingchen and the others also failed to find Long Jiuqing.

They hunted demons along the way, but the demons reacted strongly to the mention of Long Jiuqing. Some were terrified, while others would rather die than tell them. They worked for several days but still couldn't find out where Long Jiuqing was.

Compared to them, Ye Yunong's method of finding people was much simpler.

Instead of looking for Long Jiuqing, she directly captured a demon and found out the lair of the half-human demon beast.

Ye Yunong wore a veil, and the half-human demon beast detected her presence as soon as she appeared in its territory.

"Where did this ignorant cultivator come from, daring to trespass on my territory!"

As soon as the half-human beast opened its mouth, Ye Yunong's Langya sword was drawn from its sheath with a whoosh.

Upon seeing the sword, the arrogance of the half-human beast immediately diminished.

"Madam, it's you! You're here to see Lord Long, right? I'll take you there right away!"

A ferocious smile immediately appeared on the half-human demon beast's hideous face, and it practically tumbled and crawled to Ye Yunong's side.

Ye Yunong was taken aback.

She hadn't even asked yet, and the half-human monster was already being so proactive?

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

She was suspicious.

"Are you that obedient?"

"My lady, I'd like to ask you to put in a good word for me. I want to follow Lord Long, but he just won't agree."

I think if you plead for him, perhaps Lord Long will agree.

After all, you're his woman.

As the half-human demon beast spoke, it couldn't wait to take Ye Yunong to find Long Jiuqing.

Just as Ye Yunong and the half-human demon were on their way to find Long Jiuqing, they saw several furtive figures following behind them.

"Are you sure that person is the demon under Long Jiuqing's command?"

Meng Qingchen stared intently at the departing figures of Ye Yunong and the half-human beast, his expression grave. Gu Yue and Qin Nanhuai followed closely behind. Gu Yue nodded and said with certainty,

"No mistake, this is it."
