Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 31: There Will Always Be a Time for Meeting

In the world of cultivation, one must be extremely cautious when dealing with disciples of the Demon Sect. This was an extremely valuable summary of Yun Yi's experience in his previous life.

For example, the stinky beggar who was born with a right-sided heart and used the Turtle Breathing Pill to pretend to be dead, the Suzaku who pretended to burn incense but was actually poisoning people, and the old tailor who hid a living person inside his puppet...

These demons were all from the Demon Sect, and each of them was extremely cunning, so after Yun Yi killed the man in black, the first thing he did was to check the body and grind the bones to ashes.

Xun Ziyu approved of Yun Yi's caution. In his opinion, the people from the Demon Sect killed Senior Brother Sang, which meant they had a blood feud with him. No matter how hard he tried to deal with them, it would not be excessive.

And this time, in order to kill the man in black, he put the mysterious withered finger into Senior Brother Sang's magic pen, causing the only relic to be destroyed.

The Demon Sect is so hateful!
Yun Yi was thinking about other things at this time. He discovered that the magic weapon and skills used by the black-clothed man should be from the demon sect "Ten Thousand Poisons Sect".

The question is, what is the purpose of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect destroying the earth veins? Is it related to the Futian Pavilion?

Earth veins are the foundation of the cultivation world, and destroying them is no easy task. The Myriad Poison Sect actually used a strange, withered finger to pollute the veins. This thankless task must be hiding a secret.

After finishing the work, Xun Ziyu poured some elixir to remove disease into the spring. Seeing that the spring water was becoming clearer and clearer, the two decided to leave.

Xun Ziyu said, "This time, I was able to repair the earth veins thanks to Brother Yun's help. I will definitely report this to the elders."

Yun Yi said, "Didn't you brothers and sisters save me once? Let's call it even."

"Brother Yun, you're joking. Judging from your cultivation level, even if Junior Sister and I didn't take action, you would have woken up in no time. But this time, you eliminated the people from the Demon Sect, which shows that Brother Yun has a chivalrous heart."

Obviously, after experiencing a life-and-death battle, Xun Ziyu has regarded Yun Yi as a fellow disciple in his own sect, and his attitude has become much closer.

When the two returned to Qingxi Village, they found that Qi Ling'er had already prepared the medicine soup and distributed a bowl to all the villagers.

When she saw her senior brother coming back, she asked excitedly, "How's it going? Have you found the source of the illness?"

Seeing that Zhang Bo was nearby, Xun Ziyu did not tell the whole truth. He only said that the spring had been polluted and had now been purified.

When Zhang Bo heard this, he wanted to kowtow and express his gratitude, but Qi Ling'er stopped him.

"Uncle Zhang, take good care of yourself. Next time we come, make sure to make braised carp for us!"

"Good good!"

The strange disease in Qingxi Village was finally solved. Xun Ziyu was eager to hand over the strange finger to the sect, so the three of them stopped patrolling and decided to return to Fuyao Sect as soon as possible.

……

At the same time, in the Demon Sect, the Sword Burial Valley.

These days, Song Xinci has been busy studying and has stayed in the Sutra Library all day and all night. The elders and disciples in the sect did not dare to ask why, but just thought that the Valley Master had encountered difficulties in his practice and needed to read to solve his doubts.

Song Xinci was indeed looking for records about the "Tongxin Gu", but naturally he couldn't tell anyone else about this, not even his grandfather Qiu Feng knew about it.

After some searching, she actually found some information.

The greatest effect of the Tongxin Gu is that those infected with it will live and die together, but apart from that, it has many other wonderful uses. For example, the cultivation speed of the two infected people will affect each other. If the two people have a telepathic connection, they can even convey their thoughts.

Song Xinci became increasingly bewildered by these observations. She hadn't noticed anything unusual since being poisoned, except for the inability to expel the insect hidden in her heart meridians. Her cultivation speed hadn't changed, and she still felt nothing connected to her mind.

Therefore, she became more and more suspicious about whether Yun Yi was poisoned. If he really deceived her, then this matter would be worth pondering.

As a mortal, it is impossible for him to know the effect of the Tongxin Gu, so how could he pretend to be poisoned and deceive himself?
The main reason why she was entangled with Yun Yi was because she had no clue about the matter of the nameless town.

All those who tried to assassinate her are dead, and the one with the highest cultivation level is King Ji Le Tian Wang, but she always feels that there is someone else behind the scenes.

One day, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she suddenly remembered the battle at the ruined temple. The statue inside the temple had been enlightened by Suzaku, and then a late-stage Divine Transformation Realm attack was launched. According to Suzaku, after she killed the smelly beggar, Yun Yi found a Divine Messenger Pen in the corpse, and she speculated that this pen could control the statue.

This made her even more confused. How could a mere scholar have such knowledge?
But putting aside Yun Yi's problem, Song Xinci was more concerned about the origin of the "magic pen" this time.

Although she is a member of the Demon Sect, she is also quite familiar with several major sects of the righteous path, and naturally knows that the Divine Messenger Pen is a treasure of the Fuyao Sect's Library.

The stinky beggar was able to use the Divine Messenger Pen and even created a statue to plot against him. Does this mean he's connected to the Fuyao Sect? Is it even possible that he's a hidden pawn planted by the Fuyao Sect within the Demon Sect?
Of course, it is also possible that the stinky beggar killed an unlucky disciple of the Fuyao Sect and took away his magic pen, which is also in line with the style of the Demon Sect.

After careful consideration, Song Xinci felt that it was necessary for him to go to Fuyao Sect. After all, the Divine Messenger Pen was the only clue left by the incident in the nameless town.

If she could figure out where the magic pen in the stinky beggar's hand came from, she could follow the clues and find clues about the person behind the stinky beggar.

She has always been decisive and efficient. After making the decision, she told her grandfather Qiu Feng about it.

After Qiu Feng's hard battle with the Great Ancestor of Bliss, he seemed to have suffered some minor injuries. Recently, he has been living deep in the valley, never leaving the house. He only smiles when he sees his beloved granddaughter.

Song Xinci said, "I'm going to leave the valley for a while."

Qiu Feng teased, "Why, you've been so quiet that you want to go find your little husband?"

"I need to go to Fuyao Sect, but this matter cannot be known to anyone else in the valley, including Xiu Niang, Nian Nujiao and the others."

"Do you think there's a spy in the valley?"

"Yes."

Qiu Feng smiled and said, "No problem. I'll just say you went to meet your lover secretly. I don't think they'll dare to ask any more questions."

Song Xinci couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Grandpa, can't you be more serious?"

"My darling granddaughter went out for a while, and when she came back she said she was married. Can't I complain a bit?"

"It's up to you. You have to be careful during this period."

Qiu Feng said, "You are the one who should be careful. The Demon Lord already knows about the destruction of the Paradise Clan, and it's said that the day he comes out of seclusion isn't far away."

"It seems like... there's no hatred or grudge between him and me, right?"

"But you are so outstanding. I am afraid that some trouble will come to you on its own."

"Heh, if even someone in the Hedao realm can't protect themselves, give me some more time and I'll use my Ascension realm cultivation to speak for myself."

Qiu Feng stroked his beard and said with satisfaction, "It's a good thing to be ambitious, but there's something you need to pay attention to when you go out this time."

Song Xinci asked, "What's the matter?"

"Recently, there have been many unusual movements in the earth veins of the cultivation world. Many disciples of the Demon Sect have also received commissions to destroy the earth veins, and the rewards are generous. I suspect that this matter was secretly planned by someone, and the purpose is unknown."

"Destroying the earth veins will affect the entire cultivation world. This will do no good but only harm. Who would be so cruel and crazy?"

"That's hard to say. The two secular dynasties have also reached a truce over the earth vein issue, which shows that the disturbance has far-reaching implications. So I want you to investigate whether anyone on the righteous side is also destroying the earth vein."

"It's very likely that with such a huge reward, there's no distinction between righteous and evil sects."

Qiu Feng changed the subject: "By the way, how do you plan to mess with the Fuyao Sect? Are you going to attack them directly?"

Song Xinci replied, "I plan to investigate secretly. As for my identity... I'll just find an opportunity to join the Fuyao Sect."
