Chapter 401 Go out of isolation
“I can’t believe!”
Black Lotus recovered from embarra.s.sment and shouted, “Su Li, don’t lie to me. You have a body of evil ghost, but you aren’t afraid of Divine Thunder of the Five Elements. You even subdued one of Divine Thunder of the Five Elements. How miraculous… The twelfth-grade Black Lotus is the supreme Zhuji form of the Ghost Clan, and it’s very n.o.ble. If you only reached the eleventh-grade Black Lotus, I really doubt that those ordinary bodies of evil ghosts in the past dynasties are fake!”
Su Li heard him and smiled. Black Lotus used the word “ordinary” to describe other bodies of evil ghosts, but put her in a very special position. She remembered when he contacted her at the beginning, he was disgusted with her whose talent in the body of evil ghost had not been awakened.
“Who told you that I only reached the eleventh Black Lotus?”
Su Li smiled and sent a video to Black Lotus when they were talking.
Black Lotus paused for a while, then watched the video. He was suddenly shocked, “This is…”
In his mind, it was a very extraordinary vision.
The dark sky was dotted with blue stars. And sometimes the lightning flashed across. A black star was s.h.i.+ning, under which, the Black Jade Lotus slowly rotated. Eighteen lotus leaves were plump and warm.
“The starry sky anomaly? The eighteenth-grade Black Lotus!”
Black Lotus was shocked and stammered, “This… Since I became a spirit for more than 40,000 years, I have never seen the starry sky anomaly. Black Lotus unexpectedly has the eighteenth grade! No! Actually, I never heard it! If you got the sword-transforming method of Black Lotus, then forged eighteen swords, G.o.d…”
Su Li listened quietly. When she heard “Black Lotus Sword”, her eyes flashed slightly.
Black Lotus Ring… No matter what the real name of the most precious treasure of the Ghost Clan was, the Black Lotus stamp on it was enough to show… that the high status of the black lotus in the Ghost Clan.
But the Zhuji Black Lotus and the sword-transforming method of Black Lotus in her body of evil ghost all had relations.h.i.+ps with the Black Lotus.
“Is the body of evil ghost really a taboo in Ghost Clan?”
She spoke lightly. When Black Lotus heard this, he stopped talking.
After a while, Black Lotus said in a very different and complex tone with that he used usually, “Long time ago, it may not have been, but my memory doesn’t lie. Every generation of body of evil ghost is an enemy of the world, and they were all ended badly!”
“Ended badly?” Su Li repeated with her eyes flas.h.i.+ng. And no one knew what she was thinking.
Black Lotus sighed, and the adytum turned into silent.
In the hall of the Main Mount, Hua Yan was discussing something important with Yan Ziye and others. Suddenly, a figure flashed by the seat in the middle of the long table and a person appeared. Everyone was stunned.
The discussion stopped. When the First Elder who sat at the second seat on the right, saw the person’s face, he was startled.
Is… Isn’t she Su Yue, the disciple of Neimen Branch who practiced in flower pond last time?
Why was she here?
He had not quite recovered from the shock, then he heard Hua Yan, who was near him, asked with a smile, “What? You finally decided to show your real ident.i.ty?”
Su Li smiled, “I’m sure that all of you are not so stupid that you will put the Grand Elder of your own sect in danger. Am I right?”
“Certainly not!”
Yan Ziye refrained from excitement, spoke first. And then he looked at First Elder and Li Guang coldly. They all knew his meaning.
“What? The Grand Elder is Su Yue? The Grand Elder had been hiding herself on the Danxia Mount. No wonder w.a.n.g Yu who was revealed was killed by Grand Elder.”
The First Elder exclaimed in his heart, remembered what had happened to Su Yue and quickly deduced some information. He saluted hurriedly, “Grand Elder is powerful. It is our sect’s blessing. How will I do anything bad to the sect?”
Li Guang nodded. He had not seen Su Yue before, but he wasn’t surprised except had some curiosities about Su Li’s extremely young face.
And Yan Ziye, who knew more, was finally sure… that Su Li was really reborn!
“Dongfang Wuxue speculated correctly. After Su Li was reincarnate, she became much more powerful. I guess that her bone age is not over one hundred, but her power reaches the late Yuanying realm!”
Yan Ziye sighed and delighted. He could follow Su Li in this world, and he never dreamed of such a good thing happening to him until it actually happened.
“How’s the sect these days?”
Later, they calmed down. Su Li looked around those people, and asked softly.
Hua Yan looked at Yan Ziye, and smiled, “With the help of Elder Yan, the people from two sects have merged into one sect after one year. They have become one part of the Ni Sect, but…”
She frowned when she said that, “Meng Sect’s people are dishonest.”
“Right!”
Yan Ziye continued and said seriously, “After two sects have been merged, Meng Sect might be a little afraid. In the past six months, they never stopped probing, and the disciples always had conflicts. But… there has been no greater conflict.”
Su Li nodded gently, and her eyes brightened.
An elder was dead in one sect, and the seventh branch of the other sect was severely damaged. Obviously, Zihan Sect and Su Family could not be reconciled easily.
The hall was very quiet, with Su Li tapping gently on the desk with her knuckles, making rhythmic sounds.
After a while, Su Li looked up and said, “Discipline the disciples of our sect. Compared with the other two sects, our foundation is too poor to bear any trouble. As for Meng Sect, since they don’t want to make peace, I will go there.”
After hearing what Su Li said, in addition to Yan Ziye, all people were slightly surprised. Hua Yan could not help saying, “Ah… Grand Elder, the Meng Sect cannot be easy to deal with. Although there is no senior in the sect, they have the book tactical matrix which was difficult to deal with. Once you get into it, it’s hard to get out.”
“It doesn’t matter. I have my own plan.”
Su Li shook head and said nothing. Then she turned to Yan Ziye, “How about your collection?”
Yan Ziye scratched his head and said with a wry smile, “All the others have been found, but I haven’t got the news of Dixin Herb…”
Su Li chuckled, “Of course you can’t. This herb has always been monopolized.”
“Ah?”
Knowing this, Yan Ziye was surprised and delighted. After all, it was better than nothing.
After hearing Su Li’s words, Hua Yan changed her face slightly and hesitantly said, “Dixin herb is not…”
Su Li looked at her and said in a flat voice, “If my plan succeeds, Dixin herb will be nothing important at all.”
Hua Yan’s eyes slightly tremble, and she suddenly turned silent. Only she understood how big a storm that Su Li’s words would make.
“All right, I will deal with Meng Sect first.”
Su Li stood up and wanted to leave. Yan Ziye got up in a hurry and said, “I’ll go, too.”
“All of you practice. Later, you will have more opportunities.”
Su Li did not stay. Then she disappeared, and only her voice still reverberated.
…
On the Danxia Mount, Jin Ying still lived in the side hall, even though the Mount Head had been changed back to the people in Yuling Sect.
“Junior sister apprentice, you are here finally!”
Su Li stepped into the hall when Jing Ying was counting the spiritual stone tiresomely. When she heard the voice and turned to see, she immediately called out in surprise.
Su Li came to sit beside Jin Ying and put a jade slip in front of her.
“What is it?”
Jin Ying blinked curiously and Su Li smiled.
“It is the holy method you want.”
After half a day, Jin Ying finished the primary level of the holy method under the guidance of Su Li. Then she began to practice. Su Li walked out of the hall and looked at the towering book pavilion. Thinking of all things happened that year, she stepped out and disappeared.
At the top of the ancient white tower, a hunchback old man was holding a broken broom, slowly sweeping the ground. The bright suns.h.i.+ne outside the window made him warm.
Suddenly, the old man felt the sight, and a shadow appeared on the ground.
He looked up and saw the person. Figuring out who she was, he immediately smiled, “I am Hua Weiyun, glad to see you, Grand Elder.”
Su Li pursed her lips, looked at him for a moment, and saw something wrong.
His breath was almost integrated with the white tower, but it was only confined to the top layer. If let him go, he would die like a fish without water.
“I have heard some reasons from Hua Yan. For the sake that you protect Huajian Sect, I will help you.”
After a short silence, Su Li said aloud, “Bring me your practice method.”
Hearing this, the lifeless Hua Weiyun immediately became active. He engraved his practice method on a jade slip at once and handed it over to Su Li. He said, “I acquired this practice method from this wall. Unfortunately, after I got it successfully, the words on the wall all disappeared.”
Su Li took it and frowned.
Hua Weiyun was not as happy as he had been before, and though Hua Yan had said that the Grand Elder was very powerful, it seemed that she couldn’t help him now.
“It is a holy method, too. But it is incomplete.”
Su Li took a look and was surprised. She went to the smooth wall and touched it. She could feel the faint breath of time.
This was obviously an incomplete inheritance accidentally got by Hua Weiyun. Because it was incomplete, after practicing, Hua Weiyun had encountered a flaw. It caused him to be integrated with the top layer of the white tower, and could not be separated with it.
“Compared with the extreme tricks I have mastered, this method is moderate and peaceful, which is more suitable for the ordinary pract.i.tioner. So… I will spend some time to perfect this method for the inherited disciple of Ni Sect. Not bad…”
Su Li meditated for a moment, and made up her mind. She told Hua Weiyun to wait her, and then left directly.
Hua Weiyun saw Su Li leave, smiling sadly. He was afraid that his expectation this time would not be satisfied.
…
At the same time when Su Li set out to Meng Sect, the Meng Sect’s Hall was full of noise.
“Every word I say is true!”
Elder Qing glared and said loudly, “The Ni Sect’s leader isn’t Immortal Bingshu, but a more powerful mysterious woman. Even Su Family suffered losses, so why should we offend her? Why?”
