Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 236 Yanlin Valley

Lin Xue said, "Everyone respects Lei Fa, so we won't hold it against you, but don't be too arrogant."

“Since you are interested in joining the Seven Emotions Sect, you should learn to give your two senior brothers some face. If they are really angry, with your level of cultivation, no matter how skilled you are in thunder magic, they can easily kill you.”

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "I'm afraid not, and how do you know my cultivation level?"

Lin Xue almost laughed out of anger, and said, "Because we all have basic common sense."

"Your age can't be hidden; you're at most in your twenties, not even thirty. At that age, even if you had eighty-one spiritual roots, it would be impossible to cultivate to the Golden Core stage."

"Moreover, a genius with eighty-one spiritual roots would never be left behind by a celestial sect. In fact, most celestial sects wouldn't even accept you. You would have already been accepted into the Hongfa Daochang sect."

"If the Dharma propagation center truly had such a genius, it would be impossible to hide it; it would have been famous throughout the world long ago."

Zhou Qing thought to himself, "I've forgotten about this connection. In this world, one can indeed roughly estimate a person's cultivation level based on the number of spiritual roots."

Such calculations can only overestimate people, not underestimate them.

Therefore, Lin Xue and others were certain that Zhou Qing's cultivation level could not be very high.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."

Lin Xue said, "Since you have thunder magic, even if you join the Seven Emotions Sect, you will be looked up to. As long as the people in the sect find out your background and confirm that there are no problems, they will definitely treat you with courtesy. Even the sect leader may take you as a disciple again."

"Before that, do not cause trouble, and do not have any conflicts with your two senior brothers."

Zhou Qing said, "I will abide by it."

Lin Xue nodded in satisfaction.

The next day, all the members of the Seven Emotions Sect arrived and gathered in the small, dilapidated temple.

Led by the three disciples of the sect leader, a total of twelve Golden Core cultivators, along with several Foundation Establishment disciples under their command, all quietly headed towards Yanlin Valley.

They were not moving fast, nor did they make any special effort to conceal their whereabouts, seemingly intentionally letting Yanlin Valley discover them.

They didn't arrive at the outside of Yanlin Valley until noon.

Yanlin Valley is famous for its endless rows of swallow-returning trees that are invisible to the naked eye.

When everyone arrived, Yanlin Valley was already covered by the sect's protective formation.

The array, emitting a faint golden light, resembled a large bowl that had been turned upside down from the sky.

The group stood in front of the formation.

Lin Xue asked, "Senior brothers, have you made all the arrangements?"

Wei Wushang smiled and said, "Junior sister, don't worry, just wait and see."

After waiting for a while, the protective formation suddenly collapsed, and a roar came from the depths of Yanlin Valley. Then, a figure quickly swept through the air and crashed into the Seven Emotions Sect members.

Behind this figure were several other figures, seemingly chasing after him.

In a short while, the figure in the lead arrived in front of the group.

This was an old Taoist priest dressed in extravagant and ornate clothing, with slicked-back hair and a meticulously groomed beard.

The old Taoist priest cupped his hands to Wei Wushang and Hu Tingyuan and said with a smile, "I have not failed in my mission."

Lin Xue looked at the old Taoist priest with some surprise in her eyes and said, "You two senior brothers actually managed to turn Yan Dongyang against you. No wonder you are so fearless."

Yan Dongyang is the head of the Transmission Hall of Yanlin Valley and one of its three Golden Core cultivators. His status in the sect is second only to the sect leader.

No one would have imagined that someone of such status could betray their own sect, closing the sect's protective formation and letting demons in when the demonic forces invaded.

Wei Wushang was very proud of his move.

He had to make numerous inquiries before he discovered the suspicion between Yan Dongyang and Yan Xuyang, the head of Yanlin Valley. These two were disciples of the same generation and had been rivals since entering the sect. Initially, they competed for the position of senior disciple, then for a higher position within the sect, and finally for the affections of the same woman, and even for the highest position in Yanlin Valley.

Yan Dongyang has won more often than he has lost in competitions, which has become a mental obsession for him.

If he can accept his failure and wholeheartedly assist his senior brother, then Yanlin Valley will be very fortunate.

But he allowed his inner demons to run rampant, always thinking about how to avenge the grudges he had accumulated over the years.

Wei Wushang sensed this obsession.

Those who follow the Seven Emotions Sect are most adept at guiding people's obsessions and maturing their inner demons.

As expected, Yan Dongyang was eventually turned by Wei Wushang and became a thorn in the side of the Seven Emotions Sect in Yanlin Valley.

At the crucial moment, they closed the formation, letting the Seven Emotions Sect members in.

Wei Wushang smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Elder Dongyang. Elder Dongyang deserves the most credit for this matter. When we return, the sect leader will definitely thank you personally."

Yan Dongyang said, "I don't care about any merit. As long as that person can taste the bitterness I have suffered over the years, I will be willing."

As the two were talking, the people chasing them came closer.

Leading them were two Golden Core cultivators, Yan Xuyang and Yan Xiaorong.

Yan Xuyang looked unwell, clearly indicating that Yan Dongyang had not only shut down the formation but had also unexpectedly severely injured him.

Behind the two Golden Core cultivators were fifty or sixty Foundation Establishment disciples from Yanlin Valley. Disciples below Foundation Establishment were of no use at this time, so Yan Xuyang ordered them to flee in all directions.

After the formation failed, he realized that today was the end of Yanlin Valley. If those disciples could escape, it would be a way to preserve some of Yanlin Valley's heritage.

Those at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages will not be spared by the demonic cultivators.

They had no choice but to fight to the death to buy some time for their fleeing disciples.

Yan Xuyang glared at his junior brother and said sternly, "Yanlin Valley has treated you well, teaching you cultivation and protecting your growth. How can you bear to lead the demonic path to destroy it!"

Yan Dongyang sneered, "This is all your own fault."

"Over the years, you have received a lot of attention. Everyone in the sect says that you are a genius and will lead the sect to new heights in the future. All the elders love you and the old sect leader also has high hopes for you."

Even my junior sister is in love with you.

Has anyone seen me?

"This damned sect has never given me any hope, so why should I cherish it? I might as well burn it down."

Yan Dongyang trembled with anger.

Yan Xiaorong coldly replied, "The elders of the previous generation of the sect were right about you; you are indeed unfit for important tasks."

"Their only mistake was not drowning you in a cesspool on your very first day."

Yan Dongyang was furious and said, "You bitch, I'll kill you first!"

"Pfft!"

A soft chuckle came from the side.

Yan Dongyang looked over angrily and saw a young man next to the Seventh Sister of the Seven Emotions Sect. He said sternly, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhou Qing said, "That old lady's comment was funny. What, am I not allowed to laugh?"

Yan Dongyang said, "Seventh Miss, your people have treated me so badly. I demand an explanation from you."

Lin Xue glared at Zhou Qing and said, "Business is important, why bother arguing with him?"
