Chapter 509 Confession
In the mountain occupied by the Head Branch of the Su Family, there were many pavilions. Throngs of disciples rambled there, and they were busy as usual.
Since Su Chenke became the sole power in the Su Family, the seven branches of Su Family had followed the arrangement of Su Li. New clan regulations formulated by Su Li revitalized the decadent family.
In the Su Chenke’s residence, which was located in the back mountain of the Su Family.
At this moment, Su Chenke was standing beside Su Li with his body bent. After Su Li waved her hand, he immediately retreated out the door to close the tactical matrix.
The light in the room dimmed a lot. Ling Qinglan and Yin Xue, who sat opposite Su Li, were relieved.
“As soon as I came back, I received urgent message from you. What’s going on?”
With calm eyes, Su Li tapped on the table with her nails unhurriedly.
Ling Qinglan glanced at his elder sister, let out a sigh of relief, and said, “You should have got the news from Tianyake Attic.”
“Yes.”
Su Li nodded and looked at the two with a faint smile, “The Tianyin Tribe has been destroyed, and no one will hunt down and kill you. Then you can stay in the Jiuzhou Region to serve me securely.”
Ling Qinglan fell silent when hearing the words. The previous guess flashed in his mind, but he didn’t know how to speak it out for a while.
Was Su Jiuzhou in front of him the successor of Su Li?
After he contacted with Su Dieyin deeply and felt her true Ao Sword Skills, he became more and more suspicious of his previous thought.
After all…except for recognizing him on that day, Su Jiuzhou did not show any other substantive abilities to prove that she was the successor of Su Li. Everything was just his own wishful thought, while Su Jiuzhou herself neither denied nor admitted. Her att.i.tude was strange.
Ling Qinglan didn’t say anything, but Yin Xue, who had been very upset beside him, couldn’t help saying with a sign first, “Su Jiuzhou, the annihilation of Tianyin Tribe is not a good thing for my brother and me.”
Su Li’s eyes flashed. She suppressed the soul wave in the evil ghost, and chuckled, “It seems that you hide something to me.”
Glancing at Ling Qinglan with no reaction, Yin Xue nodded and continued to say, “Yes. Speaking of it, it is related to your…Master Su. After the Reincarnation Mirror was broken, my brother and I were suspected of being taken away our souls and imprisoned for many years when we returned the Tribe.”
Yin Xue’s face turned pale slightly as if she recalled something unhappy. She clasped her arms with hands unconsciously, and said softly, “In the Tribe…there are ruthless people mostly. Once someone was not loyal to the Sect anymore, he would become the victim at the lowest level, even if he may be a talent like my brother…”
Yin Xue closed her eyes in pain to try her best not to remember the miserable situation on that day.
Su Li didn’t urge her, but waited quietly.
After a long time, Yin Xue continued, “A arcane skill was inherited in the holy sect of Tianyin, namely separating soul. Souls of my brother and I were in close contact with the daughter of luck in the Reincarnation Mirror, which contained a lot of coveted luck.
Soon after we came back from the Reincarnation Mirror, we suffered a plot by the sect, being imprisoned for hundreds of years and fed the soul-separating medicine. Finally, the Grand Elder in the sect pulled away our souls, only leaving consciousness. We were dying and abandoned in the wilderness…
Fortunately, my brother and I both practiced the secret method in the Reincarnation Mirror. We both walked in two dying people and fled back to the Jiuzhou Region with broken bodies. We could only stay in the Jiuzhou Region where covered abundant methods of holy sects, so as to avoid being divined the accurate direction by the Tribe, and continue to live. You know what happened later…”
Su Li smiled slightly, “Later, you returned to the Su Family, and Ling Qinglan turned into Uncle Guang to guard you and heal wounds secretly.”
Yin Xue nodded, “On the day when the Tribe was destroyed, my brother and I sensed that our souls had not disappeared, but were collected by someone. The connection between us and our souls was not completely broken. If that person used our souls to do something, we would be likely to…die sooner.”
Until Yin Xue finished speaking, Ling Qinglan still didn’t mean to speak.
Since his soul was separated from consciousness, he was doomed to die, only early or late. Even if he used the secret method to practice again, he still could not cut off the connection with the original soul. If the soul was destroyed, his consciousness would dissipate with it.
It should have taken the Great Holy Boy hundreds of years more to absorb his soul completely, and he could live for hundreds of years. But now his soul fell into the hands of others, and he might die anytime.
Su Li nodded, and then smiled, “So what? Qu Lu, what do you want to express by saying that?”
Yin Xue was stunned, and then turned to Ling Qinglan with uncertainty in her eyes.
Qu Lu was the name she used in the Reincarnation Mirror.
Seeing Yi Xue didn’t reply, Su Li turned her head and smiled, “Am I wrong? Qu Lu, I have known the ruthlessness of your Yin Family. Do you still want to continue use your surname Yin, or… the surname of the Ling Family? Frankly speaking, I don’t have a good impression on the Ling Family now.”
Yin Xue avoided Su Li’s eagle eyes and said in a low voice, “Does it make sense? My brother and I are dying people. Is there any difference if I changed my name?”
“Of course, yes.”
Su Li laughed and stretched out her hands. Then two clouds of souls s.h.i.+ning brightly rose up. If they were not controlled by Su Li, the two souls would be immersed in the heads of the two people for an instant.
“Oh!”
“Are these…?”
Yin Xue, no, Qu Lu stared at the two clouds of souls in front of her with her eyes wide open, and her lips were quivering uncontrollably, “This is my and Mo’s…”
Although Ling Qinglan was not as unbearable as Yin Xue, his eyes were also lit up with lights that never appeared before.
Who wanted to die if they could see the future and have chances to struggle?
“Why are they in your hands…”
Ling Qinglan finally asked. His voice was a little hoa.r.s.e because of suppressing his emotion.
Su Li put away the two clouds of souls, shook her head and chuckled, “I remember once I said that I hated the holy sect. The Tianyin Tribe… can only be regarded as interest.”
Upon hearing this, Ling Qinglan and Yin Xue were shocked immediately. They felt suffocated and could not say a word for a long time.
“You…”
Ling Qinglan opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to ask for a while. His heart was full of confusion and shock.
While Su Li stood up and left, leaving the two people frozen like sculptures.
“Take care of yourselves. I will change souls for you in a few days. As long as you join with me to destroy holy sects, is it very important that whether I’m the successor of that person…”
—
Wearing the costume of disciples of Neimen Branch of the Leiyuan Sect, Su Li walked on the stone mountain road. Ni Sect had already controlled five forces, which were as strong as any one of the top ten sects through combination.
“I haven’t seen Fan Zisang for a long time. I could take advantage of this opportunity to see him.”
Su Li narrowed her eyes. If Fan Zisang didn’t support her to enter the Suiling Mysterious Realm that year, she would spend more time practicing on the Chuangxing Path and delayed the revenge.
“Hearing from Hua Yan, Fan Zisang was a blockbuster after entering the sect. Now he is in the middle stage of Yuanying Realm, and ranks fifth among the inherited disciples. Once I sensed a familiar pneuma on him, and there must be someone helping him secretly.”
When she was thinking, Su Li felt someone pushed her back suddenly.
“Junior Sister Apprentice, what are you thinking here? If you don’t get a move on, you won’t be able to watch the fun!”
Su Li looked back, seeing a young man who looked rather simple and honest. Then she asked with interest, “What happened?”
The honest young man paused and changed his expression at once, “Oh! It’s too late!”
After saying this, he hurried up to go the mountain and left Su Li there.
Seeing this, Su Li raised her brows, and followed him unhurriedly. At the same time, the carrier rune in her hand lit up, and Yan Ziye’s voice came over.
“Master, Thunder Pool Major Compet.i.tion of the Leiyuan Sect kicks off today, which is also a way to verify the strength of the inherited disciples. However, two deputy lords are fighting for real power now. Probably, the Thunder Pool Major Compet.i.tion is not simple. Your senior fellow apprentice is also involved in it…”
The voice in the carrier rune trailed off. Su Li’s figure flashed and disappeared in place.
—
Leiyuan Sect, the Thunder Pool in the back mountain.
The Thunder Pond deserted in former days was extremely noisy and overcrowded now. Until the elders came out to maintain order, the crowd made room surrounding the Thunder Pond. Only six inherited disciples still stood by the Pool, and the atmosphere was strained.
With a cold and serious face, Fan Zisang clenched the sword in his hand. His heart sank when he saw the white-haired young man standing closest to the Thunder Pool.
“Boy, I have said long ago that you shouldn’t involve in this battle of the two deputy lords.”
A familiar voice of an old man came from the jade token. With sharp eyes, Fan Zisang took a deep breath, and responded with thought, “The pract.i.tioners always fight with fate. If I didn’t have the idea of fighting, what should be the purpose to practice? In addition, I have struggled to be an inherited disciple. Even if I did not choose, someone would force me to do it. This time…it’s just a bad luck.”
He closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened them again suddenly while clenching the sword in his hand tighter.
“Now, I only chose to fight! If I’m defeated, I will accept it.”
Hearing Fan Zisang’s words, Li Yin in the jade token didn’t say anything, but just sighed deeply.
Li Yin had made a decision in his heart that if the boy really became a victim in the fight, he would help the boy to escape even if he would exhaust his soul and fall into a stupor.
He had been with Fan Zisang for hundreds of years and had regarded Fan Zisang as his disciple long ago. A teacher for a day was a father for a lifetime. Fan Zisang used to buy panaceas for him to maintain his soul consumption. Now it was time for him to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
“It’s the time. Please get into the Thunder Pool! According to the agreement between the two parties, the one reaching the end will be eligible to enter Mount Fenglei!”
After the First Elder on the stone platform on the upper side of the Thunder Pool finished his words, he opened and closed his eyes, with a light flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes. Then he looked at the void behind the two sides, and then closed his eyes again.
The Lord of the sect was about to step down from the throne, so he didn’t want to involve in it. The two deputy lords fought hard, but no matter who won, it would not affect his power. Therefore, even if the both sides gave him something that moved his heart, he accepted it and remained neutral.
In the end, the little guy, who could help those behind him to win the right to enter the Mount Fenglei, would win.
Mount Fenglei was just a secluded place of Leiyuan Sect. It was not so important, but it really meant a lot.
Only the lords of sects in all ages could be qualified to enter Mount Fenglei to practice.
After the Thunder Pool Major Compet.i.tion, whoever entered Mount Fenglei would be the Lord of the sect!
