Chapter 109 After Discussion
For over a thousand years since the disappearance of the Lingwei Sect, Shen Huaichuan never stopped searching for his fellow disciples from the Lingwei Sect.
He never imagined that the Lingwei Sect would retreat to the Rakshasa Illusion Sea.
As time passed, the Rakshasa Illusionary Sea suffered continuous decline, degenerating from a place of exploration for Nascent Soul cultivators to one that could only be entered by Core Formation cultivators, and then Golden Core cultivators...
Correspondingly, Shen Huaichuan's cultivation level continued to increase. He missed the opportunity to enter the Rakshasa Illusionary Sea at the first moment, and from then on, he could no longer enter the Rakshasa Illusionary Sea.
Therefore, he never considered the possibility of the Lingwei Sect being in the Rakshasa Illusion Sea.
Shen Huaichuan's throat tightened, his heart pounding as he awaited Yun Yici's reply.
Yun Yici said, "Yes, I saw Sect Leader Shen, Jiuying, and many swords in the Lingwei Seal of the Lingwei Sect."
As Yun Yici spoke, she recalled how Shen Huaichuan had helped her cultivate before, allowing them to share her perspective.
So she took the initiative to suggest sharing her memories with Shen Huaichuan.
However, this time the "little deaf and blind" card was completely useless; the memories she shared were blank.
Shen Huaichuan smiled wryly and said, "As you said, the sect leader is unparalleled in wisdom and strategy, and will certainly not leave any hidden dangers."
Shen Fengzhi did consider that Yun Yi might be forced to have her memories examined by people from other sects after she left.
Therefore, when Yun Yici and Lingwei Yin formed a hand seal, he cast a killing curse.
That killing curse is like a lock; it can only be unlocked by the owner's own will, otherwise the intruder will die.
This is why Yun Yici acted voluntarily at this moment, and therefore the action was not triggered.
Fortunately, Wen Fuyue and others were there to hold them back outside.
Otherwise, given the idea that some people would try to force their way into her consciousness to awaken her or take the opportunity to look through her memories, something bad would have happened long ago.
Yun Yici was unaware of the last thing Shen Fengzhi did for her.
She said to Shen Huaichuan, "Since we can't share memories, I'll tell you slowly."
The two sat facing each other at the table where they usually discussed philosophy, and Yun Yici recounted her experiences along the way to Shen Huaichuan in detail.
From meeting Jiuying to climbing the cloud ladder, to the guidance of Headmaster Shen, the help from her two senior brothers, and finally even the transmission of the Lingwei Seal to her.
Yun Yici said, "I received your guidance first and the favor of Sect Leader Shen later. I had no intention of embezzling the Lingwei Seal."
"Where are you now? If you wish to retrieve the Lingwei Seal, you may come to me at any time."
Shen Huaichuan's dim eyes turned towards Yun Yici.
After a moment's thought, he stood up and knelt down in front of Yun Yici, bowing deeply: "Disciple Shen Xiu greets Sect Leader."
Yun Yici was startled and quickly jumped up from behind the desk, running to Shen Huaichuan's side to help him up.
Shen Huaichuan insisted, "The proper etiquette cannot be disregarded. Since Sect Leader Shen has chosen you, I am still a disciple of the Lingwei Sect, and I am willing to respect you as the new Sect Leader."
Yun Yici choked up, her legs went weak, and she knelt down in front of Shen Huaichuan, kowtowing repeatedly: "You mustn't!!"
She knew her own limitations all too well. Shen Huaichuan was not kneeling before her, but before the Lingwei Sect, and before the will of Sect Leader Shen.
If she really thinks that this means Shen Huaichuan has submitted to her and can order him around at will, then she really thinks she has too long a life.
Yun Yici kowtowed two or three times without stopping, but this time when her forehead touched the ground, it wasn't the cold, hard snow, but a slightly cool palm...
etc??
Yun Yici remained kneeling for a moment, then quietly raised her head and saw Shen Huaichuan's hand, palm up, extended towards her, resting on the snow.
She turned her head slightly and happened to see the man's handsome and otherworldly profile. The few strands of hair hanging down softened his awe-inspiring and unapproachable immortal temperament.
Yun Yici's heart skipped a beat, and when she turned her head again, she met Shen Huaichuan's emotionless eyes.
Before she could say anything, Shen Huaichuan straightened up and pulled her up with him.
"From now on, you are not allowed to kneel in front of anyone."
Shen Huaichuan explained earnestly.
Yun Yici's mind went blank for a moment, and she asked in a daze, "What if I kneel before my master?"
Shen Huaichuan said, "Master is an exception; he can kneel."
Mentioning Wen Fuyue, Yun Yici finally remembered the important matter.
Yun Yici said, "I originally had something I wanted to discuss with you. Here's what happened."
"Before I came out, Sect Leader Shen entrusted me with the Lingwei Seal and also gave me a wooden plaque to open the outer pavilion, hoping that I would hand it over to benefit the world."
"However, I fell into a coma for several days due to the fusion with the Lingwei Seal, and now people from other sects are keeping an eye on me."
The system kept a close eye on the outside world and reported exactly how many times elders from other sects visited her in a single day.
Yun Yici had already foreseen that once she regained consciousness, she would be immediately questioned about the whole story of what happened in the secret realm.
She definitely wouldn't hand over the wooden sign under these circumstances.
Because if it were handed over, it would be seized by the Twelve Sects. Not only would the Lingwei Sect suffer huge losses, but it would also gain nothing.
Shen Huaichuan said, "Before you left, Sect Leader Shen made those remarks in front of the Twelve Sects to build momentum for you."
"Now that you have obtained the Lingwei Seal, the spiritual swords under your command are at your disposal. Why not continue to leverage their power?"
Shen Fengzhi could help her temporarily, but not forever.
Shen Huaichuan is the same.
However, he quickly came up with a feasible solution.
Shen Huaichuan said, "The sword master can choose to make the sword spirit reveal its physical form. As the master of Lingwei, you might as well have a few reliable sword spirits do this."
Yun Yici hesitated and said, "I promised Sect Leader Shen that I would choose masters for the spirit swords. If I release them into the open, there are many powerful sword cultivators and elders here..."
"What if they discover the spirit sword is unclaimed and capture them?"
That was truly losing both the wooden plaque and the sword.
Shen Huaichuan chuckled and said, "No, they'll come back even if they're captured."
"Moreover, their true forms are within the Lingwei Seal. You will temporarily assume the role of Sword Master and simply instruct the Sword Spirit to go out."
After saying that, Shen Huaichuan taught her the incantation to make the sword spirit manifest its physical form.
After listening, Yun Yici said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Shen."
Shen Huaichuan added, "With your current cultivation level, you can only control a maximum of two sword spirits; there's no need to aim for more."
Yun Yici said, "I understand. I will discuss it with Fuluan and the others."
We need to find two reliable Blade Spirits to handle this.
Once Yun Yici had made up her mind, she withdrew from Shen Huaichuan's dream back to the Lingwei Sect within her sea of consciousness.
She sought out Fu Luan and told her about her thoughts after discussing them with Shen Huaichuan.
Fu Luan recommended, "Sister Chao Feng's sword master is the head of the elders. She should be able to handle this matter. I'll go with her."
After Yun Yici agreed, Fu Luan went to find the spirit of the Phoenix Sword.
The phoenix resembles its master; the white-clad female cultivator, cold as ice, is stern and imposing without a hint of anger. Coupled with the sword spirit's own murderous aura, she is even more chilling.
After listening, Chaofeng did not refuse, but raised a question: "Although Fuluan and I can meet outsiders in person, we cannot talk to them directly."
