Why are you crying when I've severed ties? The fake heiress is leading a new sect to new height

Chapter 73 Finding the Azure Phoenix Fairy (Revised Version)

"I'm looking clearly, I'm looking clearly with both eyes! But there's no reaction!"

When Lu Shiqing grabbed her so forcefully, Luo Chu's anger flared up.

He broke free from Lu Shiqing's grasp and shouted out the details of what had happened.

Lu Shiqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his expression grew increasingly grim. He could only see Luo Chu's lips moving, but he couldn't hear what he was saying. In the end, he felt his mind go completely blank.

"Why are you taking your anger out on me when the Gu you created has gone wrong?"

"Yes, it must be a problem with the Seven Emotions Gu I refined..." Lu Shiqing murmured, his eyes lifeless, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

But his hands, hidden under his sleeves, trembled uncontrollably.

"You can leave now, I'm going to continue refining Gu." Lu Shiqing said this and closed the door.

"Hey!" Luo Chu, who was locked out of the door, almost got his nose caught in it. "This is ridiculous!"

He flicked his sleeves and left.

Back in his cave, Lu Shiqing sat down, utterly exhausted.
On the ground, his once-sturdy back was now hunched over as if it had lost its support, and his face was full of despair.

The image of Shen Sangruo emerging from the confinement room that day flashed through my mind.

Looking back now, those distant and indifferent eyes make him feel as if his heart has been pierced by sharp ice.

Could it be that from that day on, she...

He was stunned, as if realizing something was amiss.

He remained in that position for an unknown period of time before standing up again and walking step by step toward the room where he was refining Gu worms.

"It's just a problem with the Gu worm's refining process; I can just refine it again... I must refine the true Seven Emotions Gu..."

But Lu Shiqing is one of the top Gu cultivators among the younger generation in the cultivation world. How could he possibly make a mistake again and again in his Gu refining technique, which he is most skilled at?
It’s just self-deception.

After spending two days at Ninghua Sect, Shen Sangruo set off on her journey to Fengyue Lingxu in search of Qingluan Fairy.

The road will pass through a meadow called Fairy Mist Plain, named for the thin mist that shrouds it at dawn and dusk, making it resemble a fairyland.

This place is blessed by nature, nourished by the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and moon. The vegetation growing on the Immortal Mist Plain is exceptionally lush, with a richer spiritual energy than other places.

Therefore, herdsmen or disciples of the Beast Taming Sect often bring their own cattle, sheep, or herbivorous spirit beasts to the Immortal Mist Plain.

It was the time when all the flowers were in full bloom. A gentle breeze rippled through the flowers, and the fragrance of various flowers filled the air.

After days of traveling, Shen Sangruo finally had a moment to relax. She slowed her pace and strolled through the grass, which was no taller than her knees, with a lighthearted expression.

Dressed in a red dress, she stood out against the lush green grass of Xianwu Plain, and even among the flowers, she was more radiant than them.

Aside from helping the herders subdue a lightning-type monster cow that had infiltrated a regular herd, which resulted in her hair being electrocuted, her journey through the Immortal Mist Plains was relatively smooth.

But what she didn't realize was that the cow whose hair she had burned off with fire in a fit of anger had been secretly following her until she got close to the Fengyue Lingxu before leaving with a regretful expression.

As soon as she stepped into the Wind and Moon Spirit Ruins, she felt strong gusts of wind rising from below, as if they were about to lift everything on the ground into the air.

This place connects to the Immortal Mist Plain, and the terrain is also flat. If Shen Sang looked into the distance, he could see the entire scene of the Wind and Moon Spirit Ruins.

It was empty.

There seemed to be no sign of human activity. She wasn't surprised; for the Immortal Lord Changli to say such a thing, the Azure Phoenix Fairy must be no ordinary person, and the scene before her couldn't be explained by ordinary rules.

She patiently walked deeper into the Fengyue Lingxu.

Sure enough, as soon as she stepped within a hundred meters, the wind around her suddenly intensified.

She was swept straight into the air, and she hurriedly activated the Fanning and Ignition Technique, which included a part on controlling wind power, and barely managed to stabilize herself in the wind.

The wind continued to intensify, transforming into powerful wind blades that swept over her, enveloping her completely.

The person behind it all seemed to only want to get rid of her on the spot and had no intention of showing themselves.

She could still manage at this moment, but if this continued, the increasingly fierce wind blades would eventually slice her into pieces.

Shen Sangruo's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately took out the Spirit Rhinoceros Pearl from her Qiankun Bag.

"This junior requests an audience with the Azure Phoenix Fairy!"

Whether it was the Spirit Pearl or her words that had an effect, a streak of cyan appeared in the air, and a slender, tall figure emerged gracefully on feathers after the light dissipated, exuding elegance and pride.

The Azure Phoenix Fairy was dressed in a light blue gauze feather robe, the trailing skirt of which gradually transformed into dark green feathers shimmering with golden light. Her delicate face showed little expression, as if she had no interest in anything in the world.

With the phoenix of Immortal Lord Changli preceding her, Shen Sangruo immediately understood that the Azure Phoenix Fairy's true form was an Azure Phoenix when she met her this time.

The Azure Phoenix Fairy's long, narrow eyes were slightly upturned, and she glanced at her with an unfriendly look.

She spoke slowly, her tone filled with detachment and indifference: "Who dares to trespass into my territory? Where did you get the Spirit Rhinoceros Pearl in your hand?"

The Azure Phoenix Fairy glanced at the Spirit Rhinoceros Pearl in her hand, and when she looked at her again, her eyes narrowed, filled with scrutiny.

Surrounded by the wind, Shen Sangruo used all her strength to resist the wind blades and tried her best to keep her voice steady, "This junior, Shen Sangruo, was guided by Immortal Lord Changli and came here with the Spirit Rhinoceros Pearl to find Fairy Qingluan."

Upon hearing a certain name, Qingluan Fairy's eyes flickered, and then a cryptic smile curved her beautiful lips.

"It turned out to be him."

She raised her hand to remove the wind blades, leaving only the wind field, allowing Shen Sangri to be lifted into the air by the wind force.

Shen Sangruo let out a slight breath. Qingluan Fairy didn't seem to be a good-tempered person. Fortunately, Changli Immortal Lord introduced her and gave her the Spirit Rhinoceros Pearl as a token. Qingluan Fairy wasn't an unreasonable person either.

It seems the two are old acquaintances with a fairly good relationship.

The Azure Phoenix Fairy scanned her with her divine sense, her tone indifferent, "It's his technique. So, you are indeed one of his disciples."

Seeing this, Shen Sangri felt reassured, and everything else would be much easier.

She could be said to have benefited from Immortal Lord Changli's connections, and thinking of how much he had helped her, she felt grateful to him.

She was about to follow up on what Fairy Qingluan had said and continue explaining her purpose.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Fairy Qingluan suddenly let out a cold laugh through her teeth, her voice rising several times in volume, and she shouted angrily:

"You stole my Spirit Pearl and dare to let someone brazenly barge into my territory with it? Does that bastard Changli really think I'm a pushover? Huh?"

Recalling what happened back then, Qingluan Fairy's voice changed, as if she was truly furious.

Shen Sanruo was already bewildered in the wind.

Shen Sangruo: ? ? ?

Wasn't this supposed to be a network of connections? How did it turn into enmity?
