Chapter 523 Fight for the Sect!

No one could give Su Li an answer to her question.

She didn’t obsess about it and continued to ask, “What is yin-gathering site for?”

With her head tilted, Hong Baizhu recalled and said while pointing outside the door, “I raised them, and protected… I ate their yinqi.”

Su Li nodded and said in a low voice, “So in that age, the Human Clan and you were interdependent and served as food for each other?”

“Age?”

With confusion in her eyes, Hong Baizhu couldn’t understand many words that Su Li mentioned. But she instinctively felt the mighty woman in front of her was very disgusted with “eating people”.

So, she continued, “Those…fragile people, as long as they were alive, they would have yinqi. I…didn’t eat them.”

Su Li smiled slightly. The little girl was surprised with Su Li’s gentle smile.

“I am not disgusted with eating people, as long as you don’t eat innocent people. The practitioners in the cultivation circle have many ways to die. I have not seen practitioners who shouldn’t die yet.”

Hong Baizhu froze for a moment, “Then…you…”

Su Li squinted her eyes and said in a soft voice.

“I should die, too. But I can’t reconcile myself to do that, so…I can’t die.”

The little girl didn’t understand it. She just kept quiet beside Su Li and struggled to prevent bloody tears from dirtying the ground.

Su Li took out palm-sized bloody flesh, and the little girl sniffed it. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked up at Su Li’s palm. Her eyes seemed to glow. Then she said instinctively, “It’s the bloody flesh of…Yinsi.”

“What is Yinsi?”

The little girl froze again with her small face wrinkled. She was confused and distressed, “Yinsi? What is Yinsi…”

She didn’t remember it, and only knew it was a good thing.

Su Li no longer forced her. The Cang Lei’s Cave was used for accommodating practitioners, and was unable to trap her. So, Su Li put her into the Black Lotus Ring and would deal with her later.

“To be honest, it is better to see with my own eyes.”

Su Li opened the door. The faint light in early morning shone in through the window with a little rare warmth.

“However, I can’t destroy the seal outside the deep mountain rashly. Otherwise, only the shock will destroy the entire Immortal Cultivation Sect.”

Su Li couldn’t come up with a good idea for a while.

“Junior Sister Apprentice?”

At this moment, Wen Hun called outside. Su Li immediately adjusted her expression and walked out of the door.

As usual, Su Li and Wen Hun sat on the steps of the hall at leisure.

Maybe because of devouring too many ghosts, the evil ghost perceived much more clearly than before. Su Li, who could not see anything before, could “see” the underground of the hall very deeply if she transferred consciousness to the evil ghost. The pitch-dark veins spread in a crisscross pattern like blood vessels. All the veins gathered in a huge shadow just below the hall. It seemed to be in a shape of a heart and beat slowly, in which the pure black yinqi flew very slowly. If Su LI didn’t sense it carefully, she might think it was dead.

“A living heart… Is it the thing that Immortal Cultivation Sect guards?”

Su Li wondered and turned her head to glance at the abstracted Wen Hun. She thought, “On the day that the blood snake made trouble, this silly boy’s first intention was to take me to flee into the hall. It means that the thing under the ground is antagonistic to the thing in the deep mountain. However, if it is not a last resort, the silly boy would not incline to provoke the existence underground.”

Thinking of this, Su Li settled to concentrate on remembering the indistinct seal, which separated the deep mountain and the Sect.

As long as she watched it for a few days, she would be familiar with the matrix. Although she could not break it, she was still able go into the deep mountain without disturbing the seal.

“A few days later, my power of soul will be accumulated to the limit, and my realm will make a breakthrough. Barring accidents, there will be thunder for testing. Then I need to find a secluded place to let out the boy Su Bai and make him have a hearty meal…”

Su Li kept quiet and did not ask questions. Wen Hun only thought that she finally began to believe his words, so he left her enough time and did not bother her.

They kept such quiet and harmonious atmosphere, and another seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

“In a week or so, Master will be back.”

Wen Hun sat beside the steps, with a gray spiritual sword on him. In the past few days, some little ghosts came to make trouble, but they were all beheaded by him cleanly.

However, he was afraid that he was like a neurotic in the eyes of the little junior sister apprentice since he hacked in the air.

Wen Hun sighed secretly, and turned his head to glance at Su Li, who would rather be in a daze than talking. He felt that he guessed right.

“Little…”

When Wen Hun was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something. So, he turned his head to look at the transparent seal wall in the deep mountain. He happened to see an elder in a brown robe, whom he was very familiar with. Then the elder flew and fell in front of him with a kind smile.

“Master!”

Wen Hun was overjoyed. He stood up quickly, and said excitedly, “You are finally back! The Sect…”

“Ho-ho…”

He Jiu came closer and patted on Wen Hun’s thin shoulder, “Well done. I have known everything happened in the Sect in these days. They were natural chaos, and it’s not your fault.”

Wen Hun felt relieved and nodded slightly. However, he felt it was strange later. Did the Master never believe in natural? The Master only believed in Immortal of Ghost.

However, Wen Hun didn’t think too much, and asked with a smile, “Don’t you say that you will leave for one month? Why do you come in advance?”

“The things have been done, so I come back early.”

He Jiu interrupted Wen Hun and waved his hand. Then he seemed to feel something and turned his eyes on Su Li who had been staring at him.

At this moment, He Jiu had the illusion of being seen through.

His face distorted for a moment, and then returned to normal. He asked in a solemn voice, “Wen Hun, why is the girl here?”

Then Wen Hun remembered that the Master had asked him to guard the hall by himself. But now, the Master happened to see them… He was panicky and stood in front of Su Li in a hurry, “Master, it’s my fault. I feel lonely and bored to guard the hall, so I ask junior sister apprentice to guard with me. Master, blame me please!”

He Jiu snorted with cold face, “Fine, you two come with me into the hall.”

He turned around and stepped on the steps. Wen Hun gave a bitter smile, and wanted to hold Su Li to follow him.

However, he held nothing.

“Wait a minute.”

There was a crisp voice. Wen Hun raised his head in astonishment. Su Li actually blocked He Jiu’s way.

When did the junior sister apprentice stand there?

He Jiu frowned and showed an angry expression, “Su Yue, do you know what you are doing?”

Wen Hun was a little confused, and more restless. He stepped forward and held Su Li’s arm, “Junior Sister Apprentice, what are you doing? Why do you block the Master’s way?”

Su Li smiled and motioned Wen Hun not to fluster. Then she turned her eyes and smiled faintly, “If you were really the Master, I would not get in your way as a disciple. But you are just a ghost… Do you deserve it?”

Wen Hun was shocking from head to toes and stared at He Jiu’s angry face in surprise and confusion. However, no matter how he looked at him, the man looked like the Master. If the man was a ghost, how could he, who was semi-human and semi-ghost, not tell that?

In addition…the junior sister apprentice didn’t practice Ghost Chapter, so she couldn’t see ghosts at all. Why…

“Ho-ho, I see.”

He Jiu was silent for a moment, and suddenly sneered, “I wondered why the Sect was in disarray since I just left for a month. It turns out that you, a sinister woman, play tricks secretly. The Ni Sect has a firm hand, almost making my Immortal Cultivation Sect fall apart.”

As he said, he looked at Wen Hun with a fluctuating expression, “My boy, come here. Do you still remember what I taught you? Don’t fluster no matter what happens. Is she important than our relationship?”

Wen Hun looked at Su Li, who seemed to be another person. He felt uncomfortable with his heart, but still struggled to ask, “Junior Sister Apprentice, is what Master said…true?”

Su Li’s eyes narrowed slightly, and her pupils turned into pure black like the evil ghost. In that moment, He Jiu in her eyes was a mass of rotten flesh. But the strange colorful light on its surface clouded Wen Hun’s eyes.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice…”

She suddenly spoke and looked at Wen Hun seriously, “Have I ever hurt you in the past half a month?”

Wen Hun froze and began to waver in his heart again.

Although he said that the Master cultivated him only because of his talent, he could never forget the Master’s kindness and rearing.

While the junior sister apprentice…brought him unutterable warmth and happiness in the past two months, and he felt he was still alive…like a living person for the first time.

“I…”

Wen Hun felt a lump raised in his throat. He…he didn’t want to give up either of them!

Su Li didn’t say another word. Then the black veins under her feet were constantly surging toward her, which was a hint of extremely danger.

Although she didn’t understand, if the rotten flesh in front of her went into the hall, something that she was unhappy with would happen. She still planned to control other twenty-five sects through Immortal Cultivation Sect, so it couldn’t be destroyed like that.

The ball of veins did not remind her at the beginning, but flowed to Wen Hun. However, his soul was shielded, and he could not perceive it. Therefore, the black veins stopped for a moment before turning to her.

She felt that the stop seemed as though it was anxious to find someone to try its luck in a desperate situation.

“That shadow has its own consciousness.”

When Su Li was still thinking, the rotten flesh couldn’t wait any longer, and said in a persuasive manner, “Boy, think about your duties. How can you continue to be my personal disciple if you are so indecisive? How can you…become the Lord of the Sect in the future?!”

As soon as he said this, Wen Hun suddenly stopped trembling. He raised his head, as if he returned to calm with the impetus of these words at this moment.

A smile registered on He Jiu’s face. However, seeing Wen Hun standing beside Su Li, he was frozen completely.

Wen Hun with a bloodless face showed a relieved smile.

“Damn ghost, how can you, a dumbass, understand the relationship between me and my Master?!”

He was warned by the old man on the first day that he became He Jiu’s personal disciple.

“You only have two hundred years. After two hundred years, you will enter the deep mountain and continue to fight for my Sect! So… if you want to be my personal disciple, you will never be the Lord of the Sect. Are you willing to do that?”

“I…I am willing to fight for the Sect!”
