Chapter 130: Living Earth
Two days later, Su Tingyun is ready to set off for the Snow Peak.
As the Luminous Moon Sect is a major sect, there might be Upper Realm cultivators there, so Su Tingyun wouldn't dare let Big Bai out. When she arrives near the vicinity of the Luminous Moon Sect, she has Big Bai hide in her sea of consciousness, while she herself conceals her own presence and continues towards the Eternal Snow Peak.
However, as she flies through the air, Su Tingyun's divine sense notices that the Luminous Moon Sect is in chaos. Many cultivators are leaving the sect, carrying their swords as if they’re abandoning the sect.
Among the crowd descending the mountain, she spots someone familiar. It’s Yin Li, who has now reached the Foundation Establishment stage. She looks pretty, but she has an unhealthy complexion. Her hands tremble slightly as she carries her sword while descending the mountain.
A woman in a yellow robe quickly walks up from behind and gives Yin Li a hard nudge with her elbow, "Get out of the way, bad omen."
"Whichever sect I go falls into ill fortune. First, the Wuliang Sect fell, and now even the Luminous Moon Sect got so unlucky." The Luminous Moon Sect is originally the top sword cultivation sect in the realm. Who could have imagined that it would meet such a fate?
They'll never forget That Person and his sword.
That man who's as handsome as a deity, and his sword that was like a meandering dragon. Wherever he goes, hearts trembled. Even the venerable elder at the Tribulation Transcendent stage was not able withstand his sword for more than ten moves.
The elders and sect leader were all stripped of their cultivation. Moreover, the sect leader's daughter, Ruan Qingshuang, cruelly tortured the That Person's former subordinate. Not only did she destroy the subordinate's physical body, but she also trapped her primordial spirit in the Divine Refinement Banner, subjecting her to endless torment of refinement. When Ruan Qingshuang's deeds were exposed, That Person beheaded her with a single sword strike.
Ruan Qingshuang had completely fallen into the demonic path. But he, That Person who killed one who's on the Demonic Path, must have not even the slightest of ripples in his heart.
The disciples of the Luminous Moon Sect, who were once arrogant and complacent in their position, now finds their backing gone. Although the sect still exists, they can’t guarantee that the days ahead won’t be difficult. There are people coming to their door every few days to rob them, so it’s better to leave early.
Everyone feels resentful in their hearts. After all, becoming a disciple of the Luminous Moon Sect used to be the dream of many cultivators. They dare not blame That Person, nor do they even dare to mention his name. Now, the only target for their anger is Yin Li.
Yin Li was originally from the Wuliang Sect, which had also been annihilated.
And on that day, she had dared to call That Person her Master, but he completely ignored her. So now, everyone sees Yin Li as an eyesore— they not only mock and ridicule her, but there's even some who want to harm her.
Someone kicks Yin Li into the snow. Her clothes and hair are covered in the ice, and her face is dotted with snowflakes. Her features are red from the cold now, but she still insists, "I didn't lie. He really is my master."
She left the Qiankun Array Hall and came to the Luminous Moon Sect because her master was there. Several senior brothers also came with her at that time, but her master ignored them. Those other senior brothers weren’t able to handle the discrimination within the Luminous Moon Sect and eventually left. One of them was even labeled a traitor by the Sect because he didn't have enough spiritual stones to bribe himself out, and his meridians were crippled.
At that time, her Master didn't step forward to help that senior brother. Later on, Yin Li eventually came to the same decision, but as she also didn’t have enough spiritual stones to give, she wasn't able to leave. She can only survive while hemmed in on both sides, try to please the other senior brothers and sisters. But by then, she already knew that sweet-talking without strength or a powerful backer was useless.
She doesn’t know how Du Xizhi is doing now, but she hopes he’s doing better than her. Yin Li thinks absentmindedly.
"Hey, you're taking a beating, but you could still daydream!" Someone kicks out, but it doesn’t land. A gust of wind blows and the snow on the Kunlun Snow Mountain rolls down like sea waves.
"Avalanche!" There’s a formation on the Kunlun Snow Mountain that prevents everyone from flying too high. Moreover, the accumulated snow here gives off a bone-piercing chill: if one's cultivation is somewhat low, their spiritual energy barriers wouldn't be able to block the cold. At this moment, everyone flops around like dumplings and are and buried under the snow. Only Yin Li floats mid-air, as if the formation doesn’t exist.
After a moment, her body moves rapidly, and she instantly arrives at the foot of the snow mountain.
"Go to the Obliteration Sword Tower and find Du Xizhi." Su Tingyun thinks for a moment and places an array around Yin Li, "Wait here for me for a few days. Then, I'll come down the mountain and take you back."
Because she's only hearing the voice and not seeing the person, Yin Li is very nervous. "Senior, you are..."
"Granny."
"Huh?"
"Next to the lake on the Wuliang Mountain..." Before Su Tingyun could finish her sentence, she sees Yin Li burst into tears. This girl didn't cry when she was bullied earlier, but now her tears are flowing freely, "Granny, you're still alive."
"Yes, I still have important matters to attend to. Can you wait for me here?"
"Yes, yes." Yin Li nods repeatedly in assent.
After settling Yin Li, Su Tingyun continues to follow Little Bai’s guidance and soon arrives near a hidden snow peak.
"There is a natural formation here, so people can't find this place." The so-called natural formation refers to the arrays naturally formed by the odd peaks and mountains, in accordance with the laws of heaven and earth. It’s like being in a forest where there are no obvious formations, but once inside, one would keep having trouble finding the way out.
