Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 228 Punishment
Yun Yi noticed that Zhuque was secretly glaring at him, so he raised his eyebrows at her.

It wasn't that he had to hide the plan, it was just that Zhuque was only in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm at the time, and Yun Yi was afraid that she would know too much and thus attract murderous intent.

After Song Xinci and Pei Jianjia exchanged some greetings, they seemed to become more familiar with each other. Perhaps because they were both extraordinary women, they had a greater sense of mutual appreciation.

Pei Jianjia has completely digested Qianji's memory and naturally knows the distribution of power in the current Demon Sect.

After the fall of the Hehuan Sect, the Ji Le Sect took over the sect, and a hundred years later, the entire sect was wiped out by Song Xinci. Therefore, Pei Jianjia liked the little girl in the moon-white fishtail skirt even more, thinking that she had helped him vent his anger.

Back then, the Hehuan Sect was under attack from both sides, not only being besieged by the righteous sect, but also stabbed in the back by the demon sect. Perhaps the Jile Sect was one of the vested interests back then, otherwise why would they occupy this place?

Pei Jianjia wanted to revisit the old place, so she stayed here for a while. While strolling around, she told Song Xinci about the old stories of the Hehuan Sect and the many secrets hidden in this place.

Obviously, this was an intentional reminder to the other party to help Song Xinci expand the influence of the Burial Sword Valley to this place.

This move was exactly what Yun Yi wanted. According to his plan, the Burial Sword Valley would not only completely swallow up the Paradise Gate, which was also the former site of the Hehuan Sect.

At the same time, a stronghold must be set up in Tiancanmen, and these two places together with the Zangjian Valley itself can be connected to form the shape of Guitian.

Once the three mountain protection formations echo each other and rely on each other, ordinary Hedao realm cultivators will never be able to easily attack, and can even delay for a while against Feisheng realm cultivators.

In Yun Yi's impression, in the world of cultivation, only the Zhengqi Sect has a defensive formation of such a scale, thanks to the fact that it occupies an entire continent.

In this way, even if Yi Tianxing breaks through and comes out of seclusion, he will have to think twice before deciding whether to break off relations with the Sword Burial Valley, which has already occupied three-fifths of the Demon Sect.

Pei Jianjia's worries faded a little, and she suddenly thought of something, "Oh, right, there's something in Qianji's memory that Young Master Yun might be interested in."

Yun Yi quickly stepped forward and said, "Senior, please speak."

"The Tiancan Sect secretly colluded with the Great Yan Dynasty and came up with a plan called 'Crucifixion'. They sent several prisoners to Great Xia, most of whom were at the Return to Void Realm."

Crucifixion was a common form of torture in secular dynasties, which involved cutting off the criminal's limbs.

Yun Yi thought carefully and realized that the Great Yan Dynasty had come with ill intentions. This action was most likely aimed at the Great Xia Emperor. Furthermore, for the Great Yan Dynasty, a few Return to the Void Realm cultivators were already a complete waste of their wealth. It seemed that they were determined to succeed or die.

Now, many forces in Daxia are entangled. If the little emperor dies, Prince Duan Su Cen will ascend the throne and become emperor in no time.

Yun Yi also suddenly remembered the woman named Lu Ziwei, the female teacher of Tianshu Academy and the imperial teacher of the Great Yan Dynasty. In their previous life, the two had fought several times, both suffering heavy losses.

The "crucification" plan is most likely related to her. It seems that the two of them cannot escape the fate of fighting in the air this time.

Yun Yi asked, "Senior, can you tell me the details of the plan?"

Pei Jianjia shook her head and said, "Qianji only knows that once the prisoner sent by the Great Yan Dynasty arrives in Great Xia, he will find a way to confirm his identity."

Song Xinci asked, "The secular emperor possesses dragon energy. If ordinary cultivators offend him, they will easily suffer heavenly punishment. Do they really intend to take this risk and assassinate the emperor?"

It's an unwritten rule in the human world that those on the mountain don't mind what's happening below. This is especially true for cultivators who have reached the Hedao realm. If they rashly interfere in the affairs of secular dynasties, becoming entangled in too many life and death issues, it will only bring about the premature arrival of the thunder tribulation.

This is no different from seeking death.

Yun Yi: "It's not necessary to kill the little emperor. As long as the dynasty's luck is reduced, the Great Yan will surely rise. When the two great dynasties of the secular world merge into one, the Tiancan Sect can be said to have the entire human world as its foundation, and its prosperity will rise with it."

Song Xinci: "But now the Tiancan Sect has been destroyed."

Yun Yi: "If the Tiancan Sect is destroyed, but the Great Yan Dynasty still takes action, then there is only one possibility." Song Xinci: "The Tiancan Sect is not the real backer. There is someone else who planned this, and it is very likely..."

Futian Pavilion.

The two looked at each other and both thought that this "crucification" should be an action led by Futian Pavilion.

Futian Pavilion used the sects on the mountain and the secular dynasties at the foot of the mountain as chessboards, constantly placing pieces and laying out the game, and it seemed that a major trend was about to take shape.

The righteous Fuyao Sect and Fusheng Temple had been severely damaged by it and remained closed to the world to this day. If the two secular dynasties were to unite and fall under its control, who knows what kind of devastation would ensue.

Song Xinci had already noticed that Yun Yi and Futian Pavilion seemed to have an old grudge, so she asked, "Are you planning to intervene in this matter?"

Yun Yi said, "We really need to go and take a look. If Futian Pavilion gains power, then the Burial Sword Valley will not be able to remain unscathed."

After considering it, Song Xinci said, "Then go ahead and do it. Don't worry about the Demon Sect. I will connect the three sects' mountain protection formation as soon as possible."

"If my guess is correct, Bai Wuque is a patient and restrained person. He will not rashly seek revenge, but will hide in Futian Pavilion."

"Don't worry, as long as he dares to come, I will kill him."

In front of Pei Jianjia, Yun Yi handed the small Qiankun bag he had looted from Jiletian, along with the Xiangsi Yin, to Song Xinci and said, "Senior, I'm sorry."

Pei Jianjia laughed and said, "Master Yun is truly impeccable."

Song Xinci kept the jade pendant which was extremely important to Pei Jianjia. Although she had already reached the Hedao realm, she would not take it lightly.

After all, she was the one who was able to achieve enlightenment and face the heavenly tribulation. No one could see what she was thinking.

It's always better to be cautious.

The "crucification" happened suddenly, and Yun Yi had no time to make other arrangements. After saying goodbye to everyone, he flew away on his sword.

Song Xinci watched his figure gradually walk away, with a slightly melancholy look on his face.

Pei Jianjia asked, "Is he the one who was once infected with the same Heart Gu as you?"

"Ah."

"It's interesting."

"Senior, what do you mean?"

"He's only at the Return to Void Realm, yet he has a wife at the Hedao Realm. Now, he's even daring enough to plot his way to the Ascension Realm, hoping to use me to intimidate a fellow Ascension Realm cultivator. If one day he were to achieve Hedao and ascend, I wonder what earth-shattering deeds he would do."

Zhuque suddenly interrupted at this time: "But I think Yun Yi is actually a leisurely person, but there is a force that always pushes him to do something."

Song Xinci didn't say it, but she actually agreed with this statement. She and Yun Yi had spent three years in the world of the painting, and they truly enjoyed those ordinary days. It was not a pretense.

But what exactly is the power that Zhuque mentioned? Is it Futian Pavilion? Is it the Way of Heaven?

What exactly did the immortal Wang Shenlai seek in his life? Why did he choose Yun Yi as his disciple?
Song Xinci thought to herself, I have to go higher and farther to keep you safe.
