Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 379 Tai Xuan Continent

Zhou Qing stared at the Milky Way for a while, and suddenly noticed a slightly yellowish stardust dancing within it. He stared at it for a long time.

He then noticed that the stardust seemed to be drawn towards him by his attention, getting closer and closer.

He gradually began to sense some sounds from the stardust.

……

Lingquan Mountain, Tiandao Sect.

It was already past midnight, but the lights were still on in the study of the Heavenly Blade Sect Master.

Beneath the window where the light shone, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen was peering over the windowsill, eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

The girl's name is Tan Qian, and she is the daughter of Tan Yuan, the leader of the Tian Dao Sect.

The Heavenly Blade Sect enjoys a high reputation within hundreds of miles of Lingquan Mountain. Its sect leader, Tan Yuan, is a renowned figure in the immortal sects, and his four senior disciples are also highly respected talents in the martial arts world.

Such a powerful sect of immortals is now on high alert, shrouded in a somber atmosphere.

Tan Qian was too young to be involved in these conflicts between immortal sects. The Heavenly Blade Sect, from the sect leader down, deliberately kept it from her, but she still learned about the situation through various channels.

She knew that the senior brother of the Heavenly Blade Sect, whom no one was allowed to talk about, had returned.

Tan Qian had never met this senior brother.

She wasn't even born when her father expelled her from the sect, but she still managed to glean some information from the elders who had served the sect for generations.

She heard that the senior disciple's name was Hu Dalin, and that he was the most talented disciple in the history of the Heavenly Blade Sect.

He was adopted by his father at a young age and raised as his own son, receiving all the sect's secret techniques without reservation.

Unfortunately, he was of bad character. In his twenties, he seduced the wife of a senior disciple in the sect. When the senior disciple found out, he killed her.

Left with no other choice, his father had to strip him of his cultivation and expel him from the sect.

According to the sect rules, such a dissolute disciple cannot be simply expelled from the sect.

However, his father ultimately considered their relationship and did not kill him. Moreover, when he crippled his cultivation, he only damaged the sect's artifacts and did not completely destroy his foundation.

Who knew that a moment of weakness would bring such a terrible disaster upon himself?

After descending the mountain, that wicked disciple, by a stroke of luck, healed his injuries and had a miraculous encounter, cultivating astonishing supernatural powers. He also gathered a large group of equally depraved villains and established the infamous Demonic Sect on Wuzi Mountain. For decades, the sect has dominated the world, striking fear into the hearts of all other factions.

Now, that wicked disciple suddenly remembered the humiliation of being expelled from the sect and decided to take revenge. He first issued a challenge, agreeing to come to their door on the fifteenth of July.

In order to deal with the challenge from his wicked disciple, Father sent out invitations to all the major sects in the world for help.

The four senior brothers who went to deliver the invitation today have finally returned and are now discussing things in Father's study. I wonder what the situation is.

Tan Qian was worried about the sect, so he came to eavesdrop.

In the study, the voices of the group were very low. Tan Qian could not hear what her father and senior brothers were saying, but she could hear a few helpless sighs, which made her heart sink.

Before long, Second Senior Brother Yang Wenchang suddenly said in a stern voice: "Those famous sects are afraid of the dog thief's power and dare not come to help. But they don't realize that if our Heavenly Blade Sect is destroyed by that dog thief, the righteous path will have lost a pillar. How far away will they be?"

"They're all short-sighted fools!"

The eldest brother, Hu Wending, spoke in a gentle voice, saying, "We can't rely on others anymore; we can only rely on ourselves. Although that scoundrel is powerful, we have been diligently cultivating over the years, and we may not be much worse than him. Moreover, we have our master here to oversee us, so we may not necessarily lose to him."

A moment of silence fell over the study. Tan Yuan's slightly weary voice rang out, saying, "That wicked disciple has had many extraordinary encounters over the years, and his cultivation has reached an unbelievable level. We shouldn't be too optimistic; we should make plans as soon as possible."

"He's here for me, so he might not make things too difficult for you. In the next two days, pack your things and leave the Heavenly Blade Sect. From now on, live in anonymity and live out your lives in peace."

The four disciples were shocked and said, "Master, how can you say such discouraging things? Even if he can't defeat us, we will die with you. How can we abandon you?"

Tan Yuan said, "This is my own karma, and it has nothing to do with you. If you are truly filial, then fulfill my last wish."

"There is only one thing I can't let go of, and that is your junior sister. Take her with you and protect her well in the future. That will be your way of showing filial piety to me."

Hearing their master speak so sadly, tears welled up in the eyes of all four disciples.

A series of footsteps could be heard fading away outside the door.

The five people knew that this was the sound of Tan Qian leaving.

With their cultivation levels, Tan Qian's presence outside naturally couldn't be hidden from them. The reason they didn't drive her away was that they wanted her to hear some news so she could be prepared.

Senior Brother Hu Wending sighed, "Junior Sister is the most stubborn. How could she possibly abandon Master and escape alone?"

Tan Yuan said, "I will make her fall into a deep sleep, and you can take her down the mountain. You will then take good care of her."

The four disciples said, "Master, rest assured, as long as we are here, we will never let our junior sister suffer any injustice."

……

Tan Qian left her father's study and ran wildly towards the back mountain, clenching her teeth and trying to suppress the tears in her eyes.

But when she reached the back mountain, the place where she usually spent her time alone and lost in thought, she could no longer suppress her sorrow, and tears streamed down her face.

She was standing on the cliff edge, looking at the familiar flowers and plants around her. Ever since her mother died, whenever she missed her mother or had some girlish thoughts, she would come here to stay for a while.

Every flower and plant here is like her friend.

Sadly, in just two days, she will be saying goodbye to these good friends forever, along with the entire Yuquan Mountain, the place where she was born and raised.

That despicable guy grew up here too, how could he be so heartless as to destroy everything here?
Damn that guy!
Dog... scoundrel!
Tan Qian suddenly felt a surge of resentment as she cursed in her mind a swear word she had never thought of before.

She thought to herself, "I don't want to leave here."

If that scoundrel wants to kill her, let him kill her. It's better to die beside her father than to live alone.

Tan Qian sat on the edge of the cliff, looked up at the stars in the sky, and thought, what a beautiful sight, but it's a pity that I won't be able to see it again.

"What is this place?"

A voice suddenly rang out beside her, making the hairs on her body stand on end.

Tan Qian jumped up alertly and looked around, but did not see anyone.

Is it an illusion?
Tan Qian tentatively asked, "Is anyone home?"

"Someone."

The voice sounded again.

Tan Qian was prepared this time, but she still couldn't find where the voice came from. It seemed to be everywhere, or perhaps it was coming from the bottom of her heart.
