Gentlemen, it's time to enter the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Chapter 83 How dare she speak like that?

The sword light of the Qinghe Sword Sect is always easy to recognize.

Even though Mo Suixin had never met Su Chunyi, she could still feel the awe-inspiring sword intent from that pure and flawless light.

Chen Ye was overjoyed, never expecting to meet Su Chunyi here.

Even from a great distance, Chen Ye waved vigorously to greet them.

Mo Suixin felt uneasy looking at Chen Ye's smiling face.

The sword light flew straight towards them like a shooting star chasing the moon, and in the blink of an eye, it had already landed in front of the two of them.

The light slowly faded and dissipated, and Su Chun appeared gracefully, like a fairy descending to earth.

Her pale yellow dress swayed gently in the wind, her long, black hair cascading down like a waterfall, and her clear eyes looked straight at Chen Ye, making no attempt to hide her joy.

Chen Ye quickly stepped forward and said to Su Chunyi, "Long time no see."

Su Chun smiled and said, "It hasn't been long, less than seven days."

Mo Suixin felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this. How could this girl speak so bluntly and boldly? By saying this, wasn't she openly telling Chen Ye that she was counting down the days until they parted?
Mo Suixin had never seen anything so direct before. Had their relationship reached this point?
Chen Ye, however, did not pay attention to this detail.

Su Chunyi's personality cannot be predicted by ordinary standards; she seems transparent, always expressing her thoughts without reservation. Having spent a lot of time with her, Chen Ye has grown accustomed to it. He himself has also been influenced, finding himself unable to keep any secrets when with Su Chunyi, his mind blank.

However, Chen Ye still knew basic etiquette. Realizing that Mo Suixin was still there, he quickly and enthusiastically introduced the two of them to each other.

Upon hearing Su Chunyi's name, Mo Suixin also put aside the complicated thoughts in her mind.

Regardless, Su Chunyi was the most outstanding disciple among the younger generation of the Qinghe Sword Sect, and also the number one in the Tongxuan Realm. Her master had repeatedly instructed her to cultivate a good relationship with Su Chunyi, and Mo Suixin dared not neglect this task.

After exchanging a few brief greetings, Mo Suixin politely inquired, "Senior Sister Su, is there some important matter you wish to attend to at the Incense Burning Sect?"

Su Chunyi replied, "I came here specifically to see him."

Chen Ye looked on in surprise and couldn't help but ask, "How did you know I was here?"

Su Chun smiled and explained, "Sir, have you forgotten my sword formation? We have already formed a bond, so it is not difficult for me to find your whereabouts. I sensed you were here as soon as I entered Hundred Seas Valley, so I came to meet you."

Mo Suixin felt an even stronger chill run down her spine; she really dared to say anything!

She simply couldn't understand how Su Chunyi dared to say such ambiguous things in front of outsiders. Didn't she feel embarrassed at all?

Looking at Su Chunyi's innocent smile, Mo Suixin thought to himself, "Master, I may have to disappoint you. Su Chunyi and I are completely different kinds of people. I'm afraid we can't be friends."

Su Chunyi was completely oblivious to Mo Suixin's embarrassment and said to Chen Ye, "Sir, I've come to deliver this magical treasure to you."

"magic weapon?"

Chen Ye remembered that he had previously given the Heavenly Book Secret Technique to the Qinghe Sword Sect, and the sect leader, in return, wanted to give him a magic weapon.

However, Chen Ye didn't take it to heart, because the suitability of a magic weapon is a matter of whether it is suitable for the user.

Chen Ye's cultivation level was too low; even if he were given a powerful magic weapon, he wouldn't be able to use it. He was more concerned about the progress of the Qinghe Sword Sect's research on secret techniques, so he asked, "Has the Qinghe Sword Sect researched a method to reunite the soul? Is that evil cursed spirit child still safe and sound?"

Su Chun nodded and said, "One of my senior uncles found a way to cure it based on this secret technique of the soul. When I left Qinghe, the evil cursed child had already been rescued. However, his soul was severely damaged. Even though he survived, he is now like a newborn baby, having completely lost all his memories."

Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said to Su Chunyi, "It's a good thing. After all, she suffered inhuman abuse before. It's good to forget about it."

The process of creating cursed spirit children is too cruel. Rather than keeping them as inner demons, it's better to forget them completely. At worst, you can just learn to speak and eat again.

Chen Ye was more concerned about this improved secret technique. If he could get his hands on it, perhaps Mo Ci's soul could be saved.

Thinking of this, Chen Ye suddenly remembered that he was supposed to go to the Qinghe Sword Sect's headquarters to look for the lost Ten Thousand Soul Banner, but Su Chunyi's interruption had almost made him forget.

If Mo Ci finds out, he'll probably yell "You wicked disciple, you've betrayed your master and ancestors!"

Before Chen Ye could even ask, Su Chunyi took out an item from his storage bag—his Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Chen Ye took the Myriad Soul Banner in shock and asked in surprise, "How did this magic weapon end up in your hands?"

Su Chunyi then told Chen Ye about the Ten Thousand Souls Banner traveling thousands of miles to Qinghe to deliver a message, which surprised, delighted, and moved Chen Ye.

Su Chunyi said that Yang Chongguang went to Qinghe to deliver the message, but Chen Ye knew that it must have been Mo Ci's idea.

When they parted, Chen Ye instructed all the spirits within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to obey Mo Ci's orders, so Yang Chongguang and the others wouldn't disobey. Since they went to Qinghe, it must have been Mo Ci's doing.

Chen Ye never expected that his master, who was so afraid of death and had possessed his body several times, would be willing to die for his own safety.

He's a demon! If he goes to Qinghe, he's bound to die.
Thinking of this, Chen Ye wanted to call out to Mo Ci immediately to confirm his safety. But at this moment, there were still outsiders present.

Su Chunyi knew of Mo Ci's existence, but Mo Suixin did not.

Chen Ye didn't want to tell more people about this secret, so he could only suppress his excitement and wait until he was alone to call for Mo Ci.

Mo Suixin watched this scene unfold before her. Su Chun had traveled a thousand miles to deliver a magical treasure, and Chen Ye was so excited that he couldn't speak, making her feel like an outsider.

The two of them were chatting quite congenially just now, but in the blink of an eye, things have turned out like this.

Seemingly still somewhat unwilling, Mo Suixin asked, "The soul-binding secret technique you mentioned, is it the one recorded in the Heavenly Book?"

Su Chun nodded. She was a party to the matter, as the Incense Burning Sect had once offered to exchange it for the Soul Cleansing Flower.

Upon hearing this, Mo Suixin said to Chen Ye, "Since the Qinghe Sword Sect has reciprocated with a magic weapon, our Fenxiang Sect shouldn't accept it for nothing. I will report to my sect and request that we also reciprocate with a magic weapon."

It's just a magic weapon. The Incense Burning Sect has the most magic weapons, which is much more powerful than the Qinghe Sword Sect, which only knows how to forge swords.

Chen Ye asked in confusion, "Miss Mo, didn't we agree that you would teach me divination and I would give the secret techniques to the Incense Burning Sect? You don't need to give me any more magic treasures."

Mo Suixin snorted and said, "That's because I'm going to teach you. Don't hold this favor against the Burning Incense Sect."

Chen Ye sensed that Mo Suixin's words had a hidden meaning; why was she suddenly comparing herself to others for no reason?

The three of them stood in front of the archway chatting idly. Chen Ye was still thinking about how to find an excuse to leave when suddenly a figure appeared at the foot of the mountain.

The two rogue cultivators helped each other up the stairs, calling out as they went, "Is anyone there? Please save my brother."

Chen Ye and the other two hurried over and saw that one of them had a dark complexion and was unconscious. He was being helped in.

Mo Suixin asked the other person, "What's wrong with him?"

The rogue cultivator recognized Mo Suixin as a disciple of the Incense Burning Sect and hurriedly pleaded for help, saying, "He was bitten by a snake. We were just passing by when a snake suddenly darted out from the roadside and bit him. I've tried all the antidotes, but none of them have worked. Please, sir, lend us your help. We will be eternally grateful."

"What kind of snake is it?" Mo Suixin asked.

"I can't see clearly, it's too fast. I can only vaguely see that it's dark red and about the thickness of two fingers."

Mo Suixin frowned and said, "If we don't know what kind of venomous snake it is, then we might not be able to treat it properly. Never mind, let's try this first."

Mo Suixin took out a bottle of antidote pills and fed them to the poisoned cultivator.

As soon as the pill was swallowed, the black aura on the man's face dissipated at a visible speed, and the man gradually woke up.

The other monk exclaimed excitedly, "It worked! Thank you for saving my life!"

Chen Ye also exclaimed that the pills from the Incense Burning Sect were truly excellent; he had been saved so quickly from the near-fatal poisoning.

However, Mo Suixin frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

The antidote she took out was of course top-grade, but the medicine shouldn't have taken effect so quickly. The pill had just been swallowed and the medicine hadn't been absorbed yet, so how could the snake venom be neutralized?
Mo Suixin asked the poisoned person, "How are you feeling?"

The man shook his hands and feet and said, "I'm fine now, thank you for the medicine, young lady."

"No discomfort?"

"The wound is still a bit painful."

The man raised his right foot, revealing two bloody holes in his calf; the venomous snake had even bitten through his boots.

However, after taking off the boots and examining the wound, it was found that the blood flowing from the wound was bright red, and there was no sign of any toxins remaining.

This person speaks clearly and logically, and doesn't seem to have any influence.

Although Mo Suixin was puzzled, she simply told them to be extra careful and to observe for a while longer.

As for the antidote pill, Mo Suixin didn't need the two to pay for it; she simply said a few polite words and sent them away.

Watching the two leave, Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh, "There are really a lot of snakes in Hundred Seas Valley. When I came to the Incense Burning Sect's base today, I also encountered several strange snakes. Their bodies were so hard that even sword energy couldn't cut through them. Luckily, my Black Whirlwind was alert enough, otherwise I would have been bitten by these strange snakes."

Su Chun asked curiously, "You couldn't even cut it open with the sword case I gave you? What kind of strange snake is it?"

Mo Suixin felt uncomfortable upon hearing this. How come all the magical treasures he possessed were gifts from you? I've never heard of the Qinghe Sword Sect being so generous.
However, Chen Ye's next sentence made Mo Suixin lose all interest in thinking about these things.

Chen Ye said, "That's a strange, bright red snake with bones growing out."
