Refusing to ascend at the beginning

Chapter 228 Gathering Spirits into Sand
In the days after the attack on the Qing Chi Sword Sect, the world of cultivation seemed calm on the outside, but the undercurrent underneath was extremely turbulent.

It is said that there is no airtight wall in the world, let alone a super-level immortal sect as big as the Qing Chi Sword Sect. How could there not be hidden stakes buried by other sects?

Despite Lu Sen's clear and strict orders, when the news about the Qing Chi Sword Sect being attacked by Xianhen was spread one by one by these secret piles, it caused a huge storm to the top leaders of the major sects!

After being surprised, some people who couldn't deal with the Qing Chi Sword Sect quietly spread the word out of the cultivation world, especially the Wuyan Immortal Sect. How could they not seize this opportunity to damage their opponent's reputation?
The only thing that made the Wuyan Immortal Sect feel regretful was that the Immortal Hen people only rescued two people and destroyed some buildings. Apart from trampling on the Qingji Sword Sect's face, it had no actual impact.Secretly sighing that the people of Xianhen did not take away a few more peak masters, allowing their strength to decline.

With the help of Wuyan Immortal Sect, this wind directly spread throughout the entire cultivation world.

Most of the sects were shocked and asked Qing Chi Sword Sect about this matter.

The replies they received were all - It's not necessary, the Qing Chi Sword Sect is doing well.

When the inquirer wanted to visit their sect, he was directly rejected.

At this point, everyone naturally knows that this matter is not groundless.

Since the Qing Xiao Sword Sect denied it, no one was stupid enough to get into trouble with them, but that didn't stop everyone from teasing them secretly.

After teasing them, they felt even more terrified.

Because this is the first time that the cultivation world has seen Xianhen show his true strength. He never expected that Xianhen could be so powerful!

Five in the ninth realm and four in the eighth realm. Even the high-ranking Immortal Sect cannot match their strength!

It can even rival the Super Grade Immortal Sect!
Moreover, this is just the tip of the iceberg that they have revealed to the public. It is still unknown how big this iceberg is and how many practitioners there are underneath.

In this turmoil, the most eye-catching thing, the most shocking thing that left people speechless, was the Silk-Tangled Heavenly Demon who suddenly entered the Ascension Realm during this battle.

Including the Wuyan Immortal Sect and other super-level Immortal Sects, they all fell silent after learning the ins and outs.

What surprised everyone was not that she ascended on the spot. After all, although ascending was rare, it was by no means uncommon.

But she actually gave up on ascension!

And successfully closed the door to ascension!

These are unprecedented things.

Everyone is asking what happened, and from a few words, there are two figures that are repeatedly mentioned in it, and that is the so-called traitor of the Demon Sect of the Qingchi Sword Sect - Su Regret, who has long been famous , and another Jiujing Juepin who suddenly appeared.

Some people are even speculating whether the actual identity of the Silk-Tangled Devil is also Mei Yangshu's disciple.

Otherwise, at the end of this storm, why were the three of them surrounded in the isolation formation at the same time, and even the leader of Xianhen was excluded.

The relationship between these three people is anything but ordinary.

If it is true, then the disciples of Mei Yangshu's lineage are really amazing!

However, the Silk-Tangled Devil would rather fall into deep sleep than give up on ascension, which became the most puzzling thing in this incident and triggered heated discussions one after another.

The world of practice was very lively, and Qing Chi Sword Sect remained silent as always.If anyone asks, he will never admit it.

Within the sect, Lu Sen was furious and immediately ordered Mingjing Peak to investigate the hidden stake.

After following the clues, some hidden piles were pulled out, which was considered an unexpected gain.

Pei Wenshu's mood is both heavy and relaxed these days.

As a disciple, he naturally cares about the sect. The sect's reputation has been deteriorating in the practice world in recent years. Every time he thinks about this, his heart feels a little heavy.

But Liu Yidao didn't care so much, not to mention how refreshed he was!

Not only did Su Han successfully escape from Wuchu Peak, but even the arrogant Zhou Quanwu seemed to be in bad luck because of his involvement in this matter. The angry peak master sent someone to "take" him back to the Great Zhou Dynasty for investigation that day. .

Not only that, he also saw that those senior brothers and sisters who had a good relationship with Zhou Quanwu, who had received small favors from Zhou Quanwu, turned their backs on each other as soon as Zhou Quanwu left, and directly drew a clear line, for fear of being implicated. Secretly blaming Zhou Quan for bringing the silk-tang demon into the sect, causing this turmoil.

He also heard that some elders even suggested that regardless of whether Zhou Quanwu was proven innocent by this investigation, he should be deprived of his place in the Immortal Sect's grand gathering and given to others, which aroused the response of many people.

Some people mentioned that they were squeezed out of the sect by Zhou Quanwu, and they all shook their heads and secretly sighed that it was a pity.

If I had known this, I shouldn't have given the spot to Zhou Quanwu!
When someone asked who the quota should be given to, Pei Wenshu's name was slowly mentioned, and Liu Yidao clapped his hands happily.

After leaving the Lushan Mountains, Xu Lele removed all disguises, restored his original appearance and aura, and soon returned to Yuanyang Immortal Sect quietly without coming out immediately.

But when the sect leader urgently summoned him a few days later, saying that something big had happened to the Qing Chi Sword Sect, he came out of his cave as if nothing had happened, without arousing anyone's suspicion.

But this time after returning to the sect, his heart was shrouded in a lingering haze.

In the main hall where the sect leader was, he listened to the sect master telling everyone about the attack on the Qing Chi Sword Sect. After expressing his surprise appropriately, he just frowned and looked at the sect leader.

In his eyes, the sect leader was always so gentle and very tolerant of him. No matter how he behaved, he would let him go and even often support him.

There was no way he could connect the accomplice behind the demonic tide who sent the sect's disciples to the battlefield and then took the practitioners' golden elixirs and presented them to the black stone platform with the sect master in front of him.

The leader of the Yuanyang Immortal Sect was discussing the matter of the silk-tangled devil with everyone. After noticing Xu Lele's eyes, he asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

Xu Lele almost couldn't hold it back and wanted to directly question the black stone platform, but remembering his senior brother's instructions, he swallowed the words before he spoke.

He just shook his head and said he was just confused about the matter of the Silk-Tangled Devil.

Then he stopped listening and turned around silently to leave.

Xu Lele left this depressing hall, found Chen Chuyao and conveyed the news that Su Han was out of danger. Looking at the smiling disciple, he reluctantly smiled, and then went to the clouds.

He stared down at the forbidden area behind the sect that was sealed by many restrictions, and stood silently.

I felt a trace of sadness in my heart for no reason.

……

……

Three days after the incident with the Qing Chi Sword Sect.

Middle Earth, Great Zhou Dynasty, Imperial City.

A group of people led by Elder Mingjingfeng, led by Zhou Quanwu, landed directly in the imperial city.

The emperor was surprised. After all, in the past, when envoys from Qing Chi Sword Sect came, they would at least inform them in advance so that they could be prepared.

But this time it came very suddenly, and they didn't know about it until they landed in front of the temple.

While they were still surprised, Elder Mingjingfeng issued various instructions to the emperor unceremoniously, asking him to cooperate with him.

The emperor was naturally satisfied with everything, and then called Zhou Quanwu aside, frowning and asking him what happened.

Zhou Quanwu lowered his head and briefly explained what happened in the sect and how the silk-tangled demon disguised himself as his maid and was able to sneak into the sect.

The furious emperor slapped Zhou Quanwu on the face, knocking him staggering - the emperor was certainly not an ordinary person. It can be said that in order to prolong life, even if they did not have the talent to practice, they would take a lot of fairy grass. To forcefully embark on the path of cultivation, but the cultivation level is generally not high.

The clear slaps made the elders and disciples of Mingjing Peak couldn't help but turn around and look.

Zhou Quanwu lowered his head and didn't say a word. If it weren't for the five bright red fingerprints on his face, others wouldn't even know what happened.

"Trash!" The emperor glared at him, "I sent you to the Qing Chi Sword Sect, and this is how you repay me? You actually brought back such a big disaster!"

The emperor then turned to the elder Mingjingfeng and said: "I will do my best to investigate this matter thoroughly to see what the origin of the maid is. Anyone who is involved with her will be punished..."

He originally wanted to kill the nine clans, but suddenly he thought of the struggle between the princes. If a prince was finally found, wouldn't it affect the entire royal family?

He immediately changed his words and said, "I'll hunt them down and kill them all! Even if it turns out that it's someone from the royal family who is secretly causing trouble, no matter whether their intentions are bad for the Qing Chi Sword Sect or not, we'll just kill them all!"

The emperor was a little worried in his heart. If the Qing Chi Sword Sect was angry with the Zhou Dynasty, half of their positions would have to be replaced by someone else!

Elder Mingjingfeng nodded coldly.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see Zhou Quanwu silent. He was so angry that he shouted: "Get out! Go to your mother and reflect!"

Zhou Quanwu bowed respectfully and then resigned, silently exiting the hall. The fists in his sleeves were clenched so tightly that they almost turned white.

The next three days will be three days of bloodshed in the Great Zhou Imperial City.

The emperor at that time attached great importance to the attitude of the Qing Chi Sword Sect, and personally sat in and tried the case. Starting from the eunuchs around Zhou Quanwu and going all the way back, he found out and killed every person who dealt with it, whether innocent or not.

After killing batch after batch of people, at the end of the investigation, it turned out that they had returned to the royal family.

The person involved is the fifteenth prince.

The fifteenth prince had always been at odds with Zhou Quanwu. Before the latter went to the Qing Chi Sword Sect, there had been many overt and covert fights.

According to what he said, he was also deceived by outsiders and wanted to place a spy next to his imperial brother to get information, so he conveniently placed the spy named Chen Xiaoyue recommended by that person.

When I asked him again who that person was, he said a name, but the person had disappeared long ago, and I don’t know where he went.

The clues ended when they reached him.

After continuing to investigate to no avail, the emperor waved his hand, hardened his heart, and killed the fifteenth prince directly!

When the latter was kneeling in the prison and was secretly beheaded, he was still crying and crying that he really didn't know that Chen Xiaoyue was a person with an immortal mark.

However, no amount of excuses are of any use.

After the head of the culprit fell to the ground, the elders of Mingjing Peak were actually not very satisfied, after all, no one with a fairy mark was found.After investigating along the way, he basically figured out that the Zhou royal family was just being used as pawns, so he let them go.

Before leaving, the elder originally wanted to take Zhou Quanwu back to the sect, but the latter temporarily refused, saying that since he was back, he would stay for a while before going back on his own.

The elder ignored him and immediately set off to return to his clan.

Zhou Quanwu looked at the backs of several people leaving, his eyes suddenly became extremely sinister.

He slowly clenched his fists, and with such extreme force, his nails actually pierced the palms of his hands!

Blood flowed from between his fingers and dripped to the ground, but he didn't notice it.

The pain in his heart was far stronger than the pain in his palms!

The servants he stayed in the sect had already sent a message through Tianji Pavilion, describing the behavior of his fellow disciples since he left the sect, and the fact that the elders were discussing depriving him of his place in the Immortal Sect's grand gathering.

The originally good situation within the sect was ruined due to the incident involving the Silk-Tangled Heavenly Demon!

Even if it turns out that the matter has nothing to do with him, who will care?In the eyes of the sect's disciples, he is the culprit who brought the Silk-Tangled Heavenly Demon into the sect!
He looked at the sky and his teeth were about to break.

After a moment, he suddenly turned around, quickly entered his bedroom, and took out a foot-long slender brocade box from the hidden compartment of the bookcase.

After opening it, there was a row of blood alchemy inside!

These blood elixirs are different from the ones he secretly took when he was in Qing Chi Sword Sect. They are unimproved and their blood energy is relatively mottled.

but.

He needs to become stronger!
Get stronger by any means!
Only the strong will not make irresponsible remarks!

Zhou Quanwu picked up two of them without hesitation, stuffed them into his mouth and bit them into pieces. A stream of scarlet blood steamed out, surrounding him.

In the blood energy, his eyes were red, and he didn't know whether it was the influence of the blood alchemy or the influence of the depressed energy in his heart...

……

……

Time flies.

Lushan Mountains, under the cliff of "Bird Huitou".

The commotion outside has nothing to do with this place. Except for the occasional birds that fly here and hit the wall, and then turn back and emit crisp bird songs, it seems that only the wind comes here.

Under the cliff, in the deep cave, Cheng Yingyue's room.

Su Han stayed beside the beautiful figure on the stone bed, quietly practicing with his eyes closed.

Junior Sister's slight heartbeat only occurred once every six hours, letting him know that he had been here for more than half a month.

During this period of time, he had rid his body of the coldness in the depths of the Wuchufeng Sword Prison, and returned to the normal rhythm of practice.

During the six months he spent in the sword prison, all his aura and soul power were used to resist the intrusion of cold air, leaving no room for practice.

His practice has been stagnant for a long time since he was promoted to the fourth realm in Tianxia Wuhe Mountain and went to the Qing Chi Sword Sect to participate in the Millennium Festival.

Now he is still only at the early stage of cultivation in the Four Realms.

And at the Immortal Sect Grand Meeting seven years later, he wanted to be promoted to the fifth realm and give up his spot in the fourth realm to He Fang.

As for He Fang, he has no plans to contact the other party for the time being.

He had just escaped from the Qing Chi Sword Sect. Lu Sen's anger could be imagined. Their eyes would be fixed on He Fang, who was building a three-person sect's mountain gate somewhere.

If he showed up so soon, he might be left waiting.

At present, everything is being done with caution.

He closed his eyes, and his thoughts were in the cave inside his body, doing something he was already very familiar with.

Seven days ago, he began to guide the spiritual energy, gather it in the center of the cave, and continue to solidify it.

The spiritual energy was solidified without interruption, and slowly, an extremely tiny, dark purple particle that was as solid as sand appeared in the cave.

After the dark purple particles appeared, Su Han's aura changed completely, becoming much stronger than before!
This is the most important practice in the Four Realms - Gathering Spirits into Sand!
