Chapter 36 Big News
"Where is Xing Lou?"
"Elder Xing is in seclusion."
"Alright, what's his name again, Ning something?"
"Senior Brother Ning Shen?"
"Yes, yes, that's him. Tell him to come to Qiwu Peak. I need him to deal with someone."
I?
"you you you you you……"
Very good, you've successfully scared the gatekeeper of the punishment hall into unconsciousness.
Only a few senior elders know who lives on Qiwu Peak. Apart from them, it's just those people from the Punishment Hall who met Liu Jun back then. People below have heard a little bit of the news, and they even claim to be my people. It's easy to guess who they are.
Ning Shen met Qingjun Ancestor for the second time on Qiwu Peak. He was the only one who went up the peak, and it was said that she had specifically asked him to go.
He didn't dare to look around too much when he was in charge, and working in the Hall of Punishments didn't allow him to look around like a young boy.
But he could sense that Qiwu Peak must be excellent, a blessed land left behind by the Immortal Venerable Yanzhi after his ascension, no worse than any other place.
This place is perfect for her.
Ning Shen stepped into the front hall and saw this scene:
The woman in the main seat, adorned in shimmering fairy robes, had her stunning beauty spread out on the ground. Her face was cold, but her beauty was undeniable. She casually stroked the lazy black cat in her arms. A wooden hairpin held her long black hair in place, but some of it still drooped playfully over her shoulder.
The scene before her was like looking at a mural of a celestial being, but unfortunately, a sad-looking young man was kneeling in front of her.
The boy had no injuries, and his clothes were spotless.
The woman's expression was languid, her gaze not on the kneeling boy, nor on the raccoon in her arms, but seemingly lost in thought as she looked at the landscape painting hanging on the wall beside her.
They seem to be figures within a painting, yet their eyes are fixed on another painting within a painting.
She didn't punish the boy; Ning Shen even believed that the boy knelt down on his own.
Hearing the noise outside the door, Liu Xingxing turned around and said calmly, "They're here."
Ning Shen bowed deeply: "This junior greets Ancestor Qingjun."
"Yes, take him away."
Liu Xingxing's words were always tinged with indifference.
Ning Shen glanced at the kneeling boy on the ground: "May I ask, what crime has he committed?"
“No foolish demon in Xuanshan Sect would dare to sneak in, let alone my Qiwu Peak.”
Suddenly noticing the slight oddness in the young man's expression, Ning Shen understood: "This junior understands."
After saying that, he grabbed the boy and started to walk out.
"Liu Jun, what did I do wrong! Why did you abandon me?!"
The boy suddenly struggled.
Liu Xingxing raised an eyebrow: "Hmph, firstly, you called me by my name directly and spoke disrespectfully, that's one crime; secondly, what did you do wrong? You went astray, killed the spirit beasts on Qiwu Peak, and absorbed their spiritual power, that's another crime; thirdly, I never kept you, so how could I abandon you? You speak slanderously without thinking, that's a third crime. What else do you have to say?"
"You said you would teach us, but you only left behind a puppet. You've disappeared without a trace. When I went astray, you were nowhere to be seen. You didn't come out to stop me! What is this if not abandonment?!" The boy was on the verge of madness.
Ning Shen held the boy, who was still in the Qi Refining stage, down with all his might, but he almost lost his grip.
If Ning Shen hadn't been there, Liu Xingxing would have cursed him out loud. "Damn it, he's corrupt himself and yet he blames others for not teaching him properly. She'd asked the three puppeteers, and none of them said there was anything wrong with them. Besides, it's only been three months and he's already turned into this scoundrel. She didn't know whether to praise him or not."
and also……
He thought Liu Jun would be furious, just like Ning Shen was when he first met her, but the person at the head of the table smiled, a very faint smile, and he saw it.
"You're forcing me to take action."
This is not a question, but a statement.
"It's you! It's you! You abandoned us!!!"
The boy ignored him completely, kept repeating himself, and he wasn't saying "I," he was saying "we."
"Heh, when...when did I abandon 'you'?"
Liu Junmu looked up into his eyes, as if trying to pierce through them and strike his very soul.
"Qin Wen, no, you... are not called Qin Wen."
Her calm words were like a piercing sword, and Qin Wen finally stopped, staring at her in disbelief.
"How did you..."
"A mere remnant soul that has seized a body, having only eaten a few of my spirit beasts, does it really think it can turn the world upside down? You couldn't even break free from a mere Golden Core cultivator like him, truly, you're a piece of trash!"
"Killing you would dirty my hands."
Ning Shen was no less surprised than him, but he didn't show it.
"I only have one question: how did Qin Wen die?"
"Hahaha! What 'Qin Wen'? It's always just me! Only me!!! Hahahahahaha!"
Qin Wen has gone mad.
It wasn't that he was strong, but rather that he was so weak that it was impossible to even sense that he was the one whose body had been possessed. It was only natural that Liu Xingxing would call him "a real piece of trash." Otherwise, he would have been in a hurry to recover, and since Liu Jun's trips and seclusions were always measured in hundreds or thousands, he would never have expected that Liu Xingxing would return in just three months.
Otherwise, there would only be the four of them on Qiwu Peak, three of whom were Qi cultivators, and no outsiders had come in yet, so they could do whatever they wanted.
He didn't kill Miao Xiaohua when she saw him that day because his body was too weak. It took him so long to recover and even then, he had no access to anything good. As a menial disciple for three years, he had no chance to get his hands on anything of value.
He couldn't kill the good things on Qiwu Peak in a short time, and might even be killed in return. The spiritual plants were taken care of in shifts, so he knew exactly what was missing. He could only try to get some naturally bred small spiritual beasts.
Do you know how to deal with possession?
Liu Xingxing ignored him and instead asked Ning Shen.
"I know, Ancestor, don't worry."
"Well, let's go."
Liu Xingxing waved her hand, and Ning Shen grabbed the person and left.
Xiao Mo curled up and squinted again. Liu Xingxing picked it up, got up, went back to her room, put it back in its bed, and went out.
Seriously, they keep causing trouble every day. It's true that there's no one around the main character's stage who's easy to deal with. Even a mere Qi cultivator has been possessed by something evil.
Liu Xingxing walked over to where Qin Wen was dealing with the spirit beasts and used her mirror magic to watch the whole process. It was pitiful that those little spirit beasts, which were only a few days old, were eaten raw by Qin Wen in the most barbaric way.
"Damn it."
……
Two days later
A shocking piece of news suddenly broke out.
"What! Venerable Fuyue wants to take Lu Xihan as his last disciple?"
"Ah, why did Venerable Fuyue choose her of all people?"
"When did this happen?"
"what happens?"
"Just now!"
"Venerable Fuyue? Who is that?"
Undoubtedly, the person who asked this question received stares and greetings from all sides.
"You do not know?"
A square-faced young man dressed in a blue and white outer disciple's robe looked at the rather uninformed, oval-faced, and somewhat pretty junior sister with a surprised gaze.
"I don't know," the other person replied honestly.
"Are you new here?" Fang Ping asked.
"Yes, I'm from Liuxiangfeng," Liu Xingxing replied earnestly.
Liuxiangfeng sounds like a place that makes bombs, but it's actually a legitimate place for drawing talismans.
“No wonder, we rarely see people from Liuxiang Peak leave the peak. My name is Fang Ping…”
Fang Ping looked at the woman's clothes, which were purple and white, the standard attire for inner disciples, and felt a pang of sadness.
Fang Ping scratched his head awkwardly: "I'm a sword cultivator, and I haven't been chosen by any peak yet."
yeah?
Hey bro, you're not doing so well.
If an outer disciple is chosen by a peak, as long as they reach the Foundation Establishment stage and complete all the tasks assigned by the sect, they will eventually be promoted to an inner disciple. Outer disciples who are not chosen by the peak master are uniformly arranged to live on the main peak, and their cultivation grounds are mostly in their own rooms, unlike those who live on a mountain peak and can find a place with rich spiritual energy to cultivate anywhere on the mountain.
The inner sect is also divided into elite disciples and ordinary inner disciples, not to mention the disciples who are also elite disciples and are personally taught by their masters.
Some people who were not chosen by the peak master but reached the Foundation Establishment stage are still outer disciples. However, as long as they pass the outer sect competition and are selected for the inner sect competition and secure a place, they will most likely be promoted to inner sect. There is also the possibility of being selected by an elder in one step.
People like Lu Xihan, whose strength is already sufficient but who are at the center of the vortex, are always an exception.
And so, those who were short of her were given double the amount.
"What level is this Venerable Fuyue? No, what rank is he?" Liu Xingxing changed the subject.
“Venerable Fuyue is one of the five Mahayana stage Venerables in our Xuanshan Sect, and he is the one who is closest to that realm.”
"Which realm?"
Fang Ping lowered his voice: "Tsk, so it's the Tribulation Transcending stage!"
"Oh, so it's the Tribulation Transcending stage, why are you whispering about it?"
Fang Ping was somewhat incredulous: "Oh? Oh! This is a height that we might not be able to reach even after several lifetimes of effort. Junior sister, listen to me, you must have a sense of awe for the strong."
Liu Xingxing blinked seriously: "Look, do I still have a chance?"
"Pfft~ How fearless!"
Someone nearby spoke up.
