Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

As darkness fell over the Xuanhuang Sect, Xue Lan's weapon-refining cave became increasingly dim.

Dao Xuanzi waved his hand, igniting a nearby smelting furnace. The flames from the furnace illuminated Xue Lan's face.

Xue Lan stood there, her mind racing, trying to figure out how she should communicate with her master.

Xue Tong looked at Xue Lan, who was clutching her chest, and Dao Xuanzi, who was carrying the immortal sword, facing off against each other, and said with a hint of regret, "So you were so angry before because you thought you had been possessed?"

Xue Lan: "It's probably true."

Xue Tong sighed deeply: "A family that's sometimes good and sometimes bad is the most helpless."

Xue Lan wholeheartedly agreed. The girl clutched her chest and recited the prepared statement she had rehearsed several times: "Senior Uncle, of course I am Xue Lan..."

Before she could finish speaking, the girl spat out a mouthful of blood in front of Dao Xuanzi and swayed unsteadily.

A celestial sword flew out from behind Dao Xuanzi and caught Xue Lan's arm.

Dao Xuanzi saw a sly smile on the girl's lips, making no attempt to hide it from him.

Xue Lan straightened up and continued speaking:

"Thank you for your mercy, Senior Uncle. Xue Lan has always been Xue Lan. It's just that now that the Demon Clan is attacking, I want to do my part. My pure heart has never changed."

After saying this, the immortal sword that had been supporting Xue Lan's arm suddenly withdrew and flew back to Dao Xuanzi's side.

Xue Lan fell to the ground with a "thud," but fortunately, she was prepared this time and didn't fall face down.

Xue Tong said quietly, "A family that's sometimes good, sometimes bad."

Xue Lan struggled to get up from the ground, unaware of what she had said that had displeased Dao Xuanzi.

From the day she entered the sect, Ling Yuanzi told her that the headmaster, Master Bo Daoxuanzi, was a fussy and troublesome person, and that Xue Lan should not provoke him.

Xue Lan always kept this advice in mind, and apart from Grandmaster Qingyin, he was the most respectful person in the sect to him.

Xue Lan was completely baffled and dared not utter a word.

Xue Tong added, "[Your current situation is like... like you've accumulated all the beatings you hadn't received before.]"

Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly. Xue Lan was awakened by Xue Tong's words. She belatedly realized that during this time, the elders of the sect had hinted more than once that they wanted to teach her a lesson.

Xue Lan: It's my own fault for not being discerning.

The girl stopped standing and knelt down decisively in front of Dao Xuanzi.

She knew that she had already overcome this tribulation of Lianchuan Linggen, so she simply confessed to everything she had done.

"Master Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't have blown up my own cave dwelling. I shouldn't have used heavenly lightning to forge weapons and quench pills with strange fire in the Myriad Crafts Workshop secret realm..."

"Buzz!"

A loud sword cry rang out, and Xue Lan subconsciously dodged to the side. When she turned her head, she found that there was already a sword mark where she had just been standing.

Dao Xuanzi spoke with a forced smile: "You know that too?"

Just as Xue Lan was about to reply, she saw Dao Xuanzi wave his sleeve, and the golden thing that he had pulled off Xue Lan earlier flew towards her again.

Xue Tong reminded her: "Your senior uncle has used a hidden weapon."

Xue Lan: I'm not blind!

Xue Lan's demonic soul was incredibly powerful, and that golden thing was aimed at her sea of ​​consciousness, its presence almost rivaling that of Xue Tong.

The girl sighed. As expected, her senior uncle still didn't believe she hadn't been possessed and was going to test her himself.

Xue Lan did not stop it, and was "caught off guard" when the golden thing hit her between the eyebrows.

Like a small golden snake, it entered Xue Lan's brow in an instant. The girl swayed backward and then lost consciousness and fainted.

A celestial sword flew out from behind Dao Xuanzi, caught Xue Lan, and gently placed the girl on the ground.

"Actually, you could have just let her fall. After all, they're both Golden Core cultivators. They wouldn't be afraid of hitting their heads."

A carefree voice came from outside. Dao Xuanzi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Kong Mingzi, the peak master of Qingyu Peak, dressed in green.

"Senior brother, you've emerged from seclusion." Dao Xuanzi bowed to Kong Mingzi.

Xue Lan, who was pretending to be unconscious, felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing Kong Mingzi's words. She knew that her Uncle Kong Mingzi disliked her.

But this dislike is so blatant.

Dao Xuanzi casually formed a hand seal, and a ball of snow-white magic light flew to Xue Lan's body and then merged into Xue Lan's heart.

The old man's voice was somewhat aged, and upon closer listening, one could detect a sense of helplessness.

"Competitive and eager to win."

A gentle voice came from behind: "Weren't you the same when you were young?"

Shen Suan Zhenren slowly walked through the barrier and entered. Behind him was Lian Chuan, who had his head hanging low.

Dao Xuanzi turned to look at Lian Chuan, his voice old and hoarse.

"Do you think your senior sister is easy to fool?"

Lian Chuan stared wide-eyed at Dao Xuanzi.

No... is his senior sister so easily fooled? What is his senior uncle talking about?

"With your level of ice spirit root, which was transformed later, you must already know that you are not human, right?"

Lian Chuan's thoughts raced, and he devised a plan in a few breaths. The young man bowed and said, "This disciple does know that I am not human, but I am definitely not a demon."

Dao Xuanzi looked at Lian Chuan and said, "Demon? If anyone dares to say you are a demon, your clansmen will probably trample that person's grave to the ground."

The old man's tone was somewhat melancholy.

"The glaciers of the Northern Region, the undying overlords."

Shen Suan Zhenren stepped forward and continued Dao Xuanzi's words: "The rumors from the Upper Realm have now spread to the Lower Realm. Si Ling said it before she died. That great man of the Wolf Clan is nearing the end of his life, and it is not safe for him to go back now."

Lian Chuan was stunned for a moment. He had originally thought that since Dao Xuanzi had already guessed his identity, the Xuanhuang Sect would expel him, this outcast, from the sect, but now…

Shen Suanzhen's words were meant to protect him.

“After all, he is a disciple brought back by Ling Huan.” Dao Xuanzi looked at Xue Lan, who was still unconscious, and said, “Let him stay in the sect for now.”

While saying this, Dao Xuanzi had already cursed Ling Yuanzi a hundred and eighty times in his heart.

They pick up kids all the time, and none of them are simple people.

The old man's tone was serious and heavy: "Lian Chuan, your identity is special. For some time to come, you will probably have to stay in the Xuanhuang Cave Heaven."

Lian Chuan quickly bowed to Dao Xuanzi: "Thank you, Master Master."

Kong Mingzi spoke up from the side, pointing at Xue Lan: "Where is she?"

Dao Xuanzi raised his hand and retrieved the golden object from Xue Lan's body, finding nothing unusual.

Seeing Dao Xuanzi's somewhat troubled expression, the handsome Kong Mingzi clapped his hands: "You have been too indulgent towards her before, even more so than her master."

Dao Xuanzi retorted somewhat unhappily, "How have I spoiled her? Didn't I teach her a lesson today?"

Kong Mingzi nodded: "Keep up the good work."

"I have a solution to her problem of constantly sending out weapon refiners."

Shen Suanzhen asked curiously, "What method?"

Kong Mingzi smiled and said, "The Junning tree halfway up Qingyu Peak has borne fruit. I've prepared a medicinal fragrance for it so that it will hurt its legs as soon as it stands up, making it suffer the pain of broken bones. That way, it won't keep thinking about running away."

Xue Tong burst out laughing.

Lying on the ground, Xue Lan's worldview was shattered, and she felt utterly hopeless.

If she is guilty, let her be killed by the demons, instead of lying on the ground listening to her senior master plotting against her.
