Chapter 263 - Purple Fume Green River formation
After several breaths, Ziyue and Ruoxi were now in the s.p.a.cious room. The roof was adorned with three huge pearls, which lit the room up like the sun in the morning.
At the stone steps stood an otherworldly beauty, whose hair was flowy like the clouds. The corner of her eyes revealed her sophistication, one could tell she was not young anymore.
This did not hurt her charm but adorned her beauty with the sophistication of age. Even the stars in the sky or the landscape on earth were not worth mentioning in front of her. This was the chief of Taisu Sect – Fairy Tianmeng.
"We are here to greet you, Hall Master," Ziyue greeted politely. Even though it was not her first time seeing the Hall Master, but every time she did, she felt a bit nervous. The three immortal Zhenrens from the previous generation did not bother with most things in the palace. Fairy Tianmeng held great power, and she was also the top in mana in the palace. Not to mention for someone as insignificant as her, even the three chamber masters who were of the same rank as Fairy Tianmeng dared not to do anything out of the norm.
Fairy Tianmeng seemed to notice Ziyue"s slight nervousness. She did not say anything, but called out, "Xi Er, come over here." Her eyes fell on Ruoxi lovingly, as if she was looking at a precious item. Her voice was soft and melodious like that of an Oriole.
Ruoxi went forward obediently and she just let Fairy Tianmeng hold her hand. She had been in the palace for seven years, but she rarely heard of other places. Other than the three senior apprentice-sisters that had brought her back initially, she had not met anyone. Most people in the palace only heard that Fairy Tianmeng took in a student.
Fairy Tianmeng then spoke slowly, "It seems that we have long not shown our prowess until someone dared to sneak in. Bring this Purple Fume Green River Formation out and set it up outside the palace. I want to know who"s here."
As she finished, she threw out a scroll which was surrounded by purple fume. It was covering several green rivers, and it had deep Dao meaning.
It was the formation chart of the Purple Fume Green River Formation. After several hundred years of ceremonial cultivating, it was indeed powerful. Not even Ziyue knew of the mystery of the formation, the only known was that there was once a Buxu cultivator who offended the hall master fifty years ago, and he was then trapped in the scroll. After three days, all that remained was a skeleton.
Ziyue took the chart and was about to leave with her task.
Fairy Tianmeng said, "I will be retreating to understand some Xuan technique in the next few days. If you"re bored, you can let Ziyue and Liusu bring you to the palace."
Ruoxi nodded but she did not feel any happier, as it was just like the times when she was in her royal mansion when she was younger. She could only work in the compound of the mansion, and not allowed to leave. What was the fun of it?
She missed her uncle a lot.
Yang Miaoyun and Liusu were having fun on the white cloud, and after a while, Liusu said, "Let"s monitor the area for a while, and if we don"t find anything, how about if we go to the lake later?"
Yang Miaoyun thought of what happened just now, she hesitated, "Maybe not."
Liusu was surprised, "Are you saying I am dirty? You have to know I am much cleaner than you. In terms of cultivation, I have been through multiple cleanses. If you don"t believe it, why don"t you have a sniff?" After she said that, she put her fair and soft arm in front of Yang Miaoyun"s soft lips.
Yang Miaoyun knew how Liusu behaved, so she was not offended, and said, "What if the person who sneaked in peeks at us?"
Liusu smiled, "How do you know if it is for sure a man?"
Yang Miaoyun said, "If a man sneaks in and he sees it, then we are at a great loss."
"Why are you so nervous? Look at you, it seems like you"ve already suffered a loss."
Liusu bit Yang Miaoyun"s ear softly and blew air into her ear again.
Yang Miaoyun felt weak and all in a sudden Liusu grabbed Yang Miaoyun"s throat and sealed the important acupoints of Yang Miaoyun quickly with her fingers. She locked down her mana.
She said coldly, "If you don"t come out now, I will eliminate her."
Yang Miaoyun did not expect for Liusu to turn against her, "Senior Apprentice-Sister Liusu, what are you doing?"
Liusu sneered, "Our Taisu Sect does not have techniques that are extreme Yin and extremely cold. Do you think you can hide the Qi on you? Why are you trying to cover for him?"
Shen Lian sighed, he did not predict that the remaining Qi of Ice Light could not be eliminated completely.
He appeared from the sky and said, "This is had nothing to do with her. I threatened her."
Liusu said, "You"re indeed a handsome man. Princess Miaoyun, if he"s here for you, why are you hiding? It"s not like Taisu Sect restricts you from looking for a partner."
"It"s my first time meeting him. Senior Apprentice-Sister Liusu you"ve mistaken. He"s not a bad guy. Please leave now." Yang Miaoyun looked at Shen Lian with her begging eyes. She knew Shen Lian was powerful and Liusu was unlikely to be a compatible opponent. If they fought and disturbed others, not to say that Shen Lian would not be able to leave in one piece, Liusu would suffer too.
She hoped Shen Lian would leave immediately for the benefit of both. Even if there was punishment, it would not take her life.
Shen Lian said, "It was indeed her first time meeting me, but you"re not, Liusu!"
"When have I met you before? Don"t try to act like you did," Liusu responded.
"We are all cultivators so you shouldn"t have such bad memory. Have you forgotten that seven years ago you three took a little girl away?" Shen Lian looked calm but it seemed that there was something hidden underneath which would explode anytime. It gave out an immense pressure.
Liusu froze and recalled, "It is you. How dare you come here? Don"t forget your position."
"It seems like you all know my position?" Shen Lian spoke coldly.
Yang Miaoyun was confused, could it be that this person had some prestigious background? She felt that Senior Apprentice-Sister Liusu seemed to be uneasy.
Liusu said, "You should go. She"s doing well here and the Hall Master won"t let you take her. You should give up."
Shen Lian sighed, "It made me want to get her more. I didn"t expect for Taisu Dect to be using a little girl. What"s the reason?"
Zhang Ruoxu"s last words were that he did not need to worry about Ruoxi. If it was not because of that, he would not have restrained from looking for her for so many years. However, Liusu"s reaction was out of his expectation, and Zhang Ruoxu would not be fooling with him, there must be a reason.
Liusu said that Ruoxi was doing well, but that Shen Lian could not take her away. Taisu Sect would not be lacking in talent and given that they knew he was the chief of Qing Xuan but still said so. It was not as simple as that Ruoxi was being absorbed into Taisu Sect. It was even weirder that Yang Miaoyun who entered the sect late still knew nothing about Ruoxi.
Liusu now knew that this person was extremely smart, which was why he could become one of the most influential people in Yuan Continent. She telepathically informed others in the same sect.
