The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Life amidst the twilight clouds seems to have been split in two.

Choosing to become human meant forgetting hatred and betraying his mother, so his obsession has always been to become a true great demon.

After becoming a powerful demon, he killed all the humans and demons who had bullied him and his mother.

What happens after that?

His choice also meant loss—the loss of everything he currently possessed.

Lost in thought for a moment amidst the twilight clouds, he thought of places he had never considered before.

Ning Tinglan watched the whole thing and, worried that Mu Yunjian might anger Jiuying, quickly pulled him behind her.

Ning Tinglan then bowed with her hands clasped and apologized to Jiuying, saying, "Senior, I am truly sorry. My senior brother has always been eccentric, and I suppose he misspoke in a moment of excitement."

"We hope that you will forgive us and not hold it against us."

Jiuying wouldn't stoop to the level of arguing with a mere cub.

Don't let Mu Yunjian's age of over twenty fool you; in the demon race, he's practically a cub.

After all, it's normal for demon eggs to take decades or even centuries to hatch.

The more powerful a demon cultivator is, the harder it is for them to have offspring, and the longer it takes for their offspring to reach adulthood.

Nevertheless, Jiuying's nine enormous eyes scrutinized Muyunjian carefully again and again.

Ning Tinglan, standing in front of Mu Yunjian, naturally did not escape the disaster.

The chilling fear was so intense that even he, who was usually unsmiling, couldn't help but tremble.

Mu Yunjian reached out and put his hand on Ning Tinglan's shoulder, saying, "Move aside."

"I don't need your protection."

Jiuying said, "I have to admit that you do have the qualifications to join my Lingwei Sect."

His heavy body moved away again, and the Heavenly Cloud Path that Yun Yici had ascended appeared before the two of them once more.

Jiuying said, "You may go up."

He then said to Mu Yunjian, "Since you believe there is no problem with your mother's bloodline, then climb up and prove it."

"As long as you can get up there, I will willingly give you my life essence."

Provoked by him, Mu Yunjian, in a state of agitation, said without thinking, "Then you can just wait and watch me destroy your life essence after I climb up."

Jiuying said cunningly, "That's your business. I believe you're a clever demon cultivator."

Ning Tinglan didn't believe that Jiuying would be so kind, and tentatively asked, "Didn't you just say that only disciples of the Lingwei Sect can join the sect?"

Jiuying said, "That woman is the Sword Master of Huaichuan, so naturally she is a disciple of my Lingwei Sect."

"As for the two of you, your aptitude is decent. As long as you can climb up, you can join my Lingwei Sect."

Ning Tinglan wondered if she had misheard. The Lingwei Sect had long been destroyed, yet this gatekeeper beast was still thinking of recruiting disciples for the sect?

Before he could figure it out, Mu Yunjian had already started climbing.

Seeing that there was no news of Yun Yici who had gone inside, and that Mu Yunjian was still fooling around and climbing up, Ning Tinglan gritted her teeth and had no choice but to follow.

The Lingwei Sect no longer exists, so this shouldn't be considered betraying the sect and deceiving one's master, right?

Yun Yici was not in the news because she was still climbing, but she had left a step earlier than Ning Tinglan and the other two.

She discovered many sword spirits in the clouds, and after talking with them, she learned that they were all spirit swords used by the sword cultivators of the Lingwei Sect in their previous lives.

This plane belongs to the Lingwei Sect and is also a sword tomb, burying the swords of all the sword cultivators of the Lingwei Sect.

Of course, besides Huai Chuan, some others were still living elsewhere.

The whereabouts of Shen Huaichuan were causing a great deal of anxiety among the sword spirits.

They firmly regarded Shen Huaichuan as the hope for the revival of the Lingwei Sect.

But they waited and waited, for hundreds and thousands of years, and they never saw Shen Huaichuan return.

Yun Yici revealed that Shen Huaichuan was not dead because she wanted to see the sect leader as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the spirit swordsmen insisted that the rules could not be broken and that she had to climb up on her own.

The cloud ladder she is climbing is the only way down the mountain for Lingwei Sect cultivators, and also the only way to enter the sect.

In short, the current situation is that the Spirit Swords are treating her as a disciple that Shen Huaichuan took in from outside, who has never returned to the sect.

Therefore, this step of entering the sect needs to be completed.

Huai Chuan whispered to her, "I know you're a disciple of the Nanhua Sect, but as you know, the Lingwei Sect has long..."

"Please, just consider this a trip in place of my former sword master."

Yun Yici said, "Senior Shen taught me swordsmanship, so it is only right that I personally go up to pay my respects to the sect leader."

The matter of Shen Huaichuan became an unspoken secret between the two men and the sword when Yun Yici first used Huaichuan.

Huai Chuan has always maintained an attitude of neither asking nor mentioning it.

It wasn't that he didn't care about Shen Huaichuan, but he knew that given Shen Huaichuan's personality, if he could find him, he would definitely come back to him.

If Yun Yici didn't say it, it could only be at Shen Huaichuan's behest.

Looking up, she saw that the cloud ladder stretched as far as the eye could see, but the spirit swords around her kept circling.

The sword spirit, who had transformed into a little girl in a yellow dress, was also very lively. Once she confirmed her identity, she chattered excitedly around her, cheering her on.

The mature and steady sword spirits standing nearby, who wanted to inquire about the changes in the outside world, couldn't even get a word in edgewise.

It's not that Yun Yici is tired, but climbing this endless ladder of clouds can easily wear down one's will.

Moreover, once the outcome of the battle between Lu Yiguang and the others is decided outside, the secret realm will close, sending all the remaining members of the group out.

If she climbs until the secret realm closes, she'll be doomed before she even reaches the Lingwei Sect's gate.

Huai Chuan seemed to sense her thoughts and quickly reminded her, "Xiao Ci, don't think about it, the more you think about it, the longer it will go on."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sword spirit beside him said, "Huaichuan, you must not show favoritism."

The sword spirit next to the sword spirit chuckled and said, "This cloud ladder hasn't been climbed for a thousand years. This female cultivator has taken Huai Chuan in, so she's practically one of our sect's members. What's the big deal to remind her?"

A spiritual sword sped swiftly from below through the sea of ​​clouds.

A moment later, a sword spirit in the form of a disciple in blue appeared.

He excitedly announced to all the sword spirits, "Two more people have come up!"

"What? There are other people?"

The sword spirits stirred up a commotion.

"That's not right. Only Huai Chuan hasn't come back. Who else is there?"

"It's probably Jiuying who let them in."

"Their swords don't have sword spirits, so they can't see us."

This bustling activity is extremely attractive to them, who have been silent for thousands of years.

They all eagerly turned around, wanting to see what the newcomer looked like.

Yun Yici finally learned that the guardian beast was called Jiuying. Upon hearing that the spirit sword was eager to try, she quickly said, "Those must be my two senior brothers. Please, seniors, do not tease them."

These spirit swords, having nothing better to do, chatted with her along the way.

They have no ill intentions, but they will definitely play tricks on Ning Tinglan and Mu Yunjian, who cannot see them.

The spirit swordsmen were overjoyed upon hearing this and asked, "Your senior brother?"

This made them even more excited, and they all rushed down the ladder in a swarm.

Only the girl in the yellow dress remained with Yun Yici. She said, "Junior Sister, don't worry, they're just too lonely."
