Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 135 A Trip to Penglai (28)

The Ghost Clan's techniques are always unpredictable and unpredictable; one can easily fall victim to them if they are not careful. Luo Zai Shui was also on tenterhooks following behind Su Wu Si, but fortunately, they escaped unharmed.

Just as Luo Zai Shui breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Su Wu Si run straight to the breach in the barrier and confront the ghosts.

What kind of deal do you have with the Wen family?

Su Wusi coldly stared at the thing in front of him that was constantly emitting black smoke, and spoke in a cold tone.

The demons naturally wouldn't answer her; the moment they saw a living person, they attacked without hesitation.

Su Wusi deftly dodged the black smoke: "Who helped you come to the human realm, the Wen family?"

The person didn't answer, only continued to attack.

"Looks like it can't speak; its level is still too low."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Wusi suddenly changed his sword style. The originally slow sword momentum suddenly became fierce, as if a thousand swords were fired at once, directly piercing the ghost clan member into a sieve.

The sword technique with such a strong killing intent was neither from Xianyun Peak nor from the Wanjian Sect; it seemed to be something she had come up with on her own.

Although he was a bit ruthless, at least he could protect himself.

Luo Zai Shui was very pleased with this.

When Su Wusi encountered a broken section of the barrier, he didn't contact Chu Yeli immediately. Basically, if a ghost came and asked a question, he would kill it if there was no answer.

This cycle went on for who knows how long, until finally a talking one appeared.

"What is your relationship with the Wen family?"

Su Wusi's eyes showed signs of fatigue, but her movements remained steady.

"What kind of relationship? It's mutually beneficial, of course. Hehehe, you humans are quite interesting."

Having gotten the answer he wanted, the weariness in Su Wusi's eyes disappeared, replaced by cold indifference.

"No matter what your purpose is, before that, I will definitely kill the entire Wen family."

"Is that so?" the man said with a contemptuous tone. "I'd like to see what you're capable of."

The man transformed into black smoke and attacked her. Su Wusi casually made a fire spell, her fingertips tracing the sword's blade, unleashing a sword aura with blazing flames, slashing it all towards him.

"How is this possible..."

Before losing consciousness, the man looked at his body, which had been cut in half at the waist, with disbelief on his face.

Su Wusi kept a cold face and silently wiped his sword clean.

"Why not?"

She summoned Chu Yeli, who directed the other cultivators to suppress the ghosts that kept emerging, while simultaneously repairing the barrier.

The man couldn't help but sigh, "With a few repairs, it can last for a few more years."

Su Wusi was somewhat surprised: "It can only be used for a few years?"

Chu Yeli looked at her with a strange gaze: "Didn't your senior sister tell you that the spiritual power used in these kinds of large barriers is the purest spiritual power from ancient times? If this thing is damaged, even if it is repaired, it will not be as good as its original barrier. If it is repaired, it will be good if it can be used for a few years."

Su Wusi was stunned for a moment: "Then the barrier broke, where did all that ancient spiritual energy go?"

Who knows?

Something vaguely flashed through Su Wusi's mind, but she couldn't grasp it.

After repairing the barrier, Ji Tinghan stretched his shoulders and said, "We still need to find the array core. If we don't find the array core, repairing the barrier like this will be of no use."

"Where do we even begin to look?"

Su Wusi was somewhat annoyed, as it would probably take some time to resolve things here.

Chu Yeli didn't seem to care much: "It doesn't matter, we'll find it eventually, but we still need to hurry, there are still many ordinary people here."

"Senior Brother Chu, what about the other disciples of Linghai Sect?"

Su Wusi couldn't help but wonder why he was the only one here.

"He probably snuck out by himself again."

Ye Xiao, sword in hand, said casually.

"Running away without permission? How could you, the chief disciple, stoop to such a level?"

Su Wusi was puzzled.

"Alright, alright, didn't you sneak out too?" Chu Yeli didn't have time to argue with Ye Xiao, she was busy with what she was doing.

Ye Xiao stood quietly to the side, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, "The affairs of the human realm still need to be reported to the sect."

Chu Yeli snorted coldly: "Do you think they'll come to a solution just because you reported it? I don't know about the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but that old man from the Linghai Sect is determined to be a coward."

Ye Xiao frowned subconsciously: "He's still your master."

Chu Yeli rolled her eyes: "I don't have a master like him. If I had known, I would have joined Xianyun Peak. Even if I died, it wouldn't have been a waste of my courage. Why would I have to sneak around like this?"

"As long as you're alive, there's hope."

Su Wusi's words silenced Chu Yeli.

He said the wrong thing again today. Maybe it's because he met an old friend today and wanted to catch up.

Chu Yeli chuckled self-deprecatingly: "That's true. There's hope as long as you're alive. You're becoming more and more like your senior sister."

When others mentioned his senior sister, Su Wusi remained calm: "I was raised by my senior sister, so naturally I resemble her."

"Really?" Chu Yeli became somewhat interested. "Did she teach you talisman techniques and formations?"

Su Wusi nodded: "I've taught you some, but not much. I'm a sword cultivator."

"There's no rule that says sword cultivators can only practice swordsmanship. Come on, I'll teach you some things; you might need them in the future."

Ye Xiao held his sword, silently watching everything, when a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Now that you've learned formations and talisman techniques, would you like to learn some of my medical skills?"

Following behind Nie Xushuang was Xue Xin, who was equipped with a mechanical arm.

"Senior Sister Nie, Third Senior Brother!"

Su Wusi thought that Xue Xin would stay in Xianyun Peak for the rest of his life, but he never expected to see him again today.

Ye Xiao was somewhat surprised: "Why is Senior Sister Nie here too?"

Nie Xushuang's tone carried a hint of reproach: "You can come, but I can't?"

Xue Xin explained, "The sect leader is currently in seclusion and unable to come in person to reinforce the formation, so he sent me to deliver a few things that Senior Brother Chu might need."

Xue Xin's robotic arm was a bit clumsy, and it was difficult for him to turn things over. After searching around, he finally managed to pile some materials in front of Chu Yeli.

"Thank you, Uncle Xie..."

Looking at the things in front of him, Chu Yeli felt a strange mix of emotions welling up inside him. He had seen Luo Zaishui and Ji Tinghan use these things before. They should have belonged to the direct disciples, but they had been given to him, an outer disciple.

"The sect leader is doing well. Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Chu. In a few more days, Xianyun Peak will be able to receive guests."

Chu Yeli had a period of deep regret. If he had stood up for Ji Tinghan when he was framed that day, would that child have not gone astray? If he had arrived at Xianyun Peak a little faster that day, would the children in Shui have been saved?

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

After that, his cultivation stagnated for a time. One day, he had a sudden idea and left Linghai Sect. After wandering around, he ended up at the foot of Xianyun Peak.

The area is filled with various formations, and outsiders are no longer allowed to visit.

Chu Yeli suddenly felt rebellious and decided to go up Xianyun Peak to take a look, so he began to break the formation.

As a result, he was trapped on the outermost layer. He suddenly realized that he had overestimated himself. This was Xie Jing's formation, which a mere kid like him could break.

He simply lay down on the ground, cleared his mind, and quietly listened to the cicadas chirping.

He didn't know how long he had been in that formation, maybe a few days, maybe half a month. He couldn't break the formation, and he didn't want to leave. He didn't know where to go or what to do next.

Aren't you leaving yet?

Xie Jing seemed to have changed a lot. He was no longer as carefree as before, and a gloomy atmosphere surrounded him.

Chu Yeli sat up, looked at the person in front of him, and didn't know what to say.

"Let's go, Xianyun Peak will not be receiving guests for the next few days."

Xie Jing wanted to throw him out, but he held back because he was one of his disciple's few close friends.

"Uncle Xie, I would like to see Zai Shui."

Chu Yeli wanted to say goodbye to her in person.

Xie Jing said coldly, "The soul lamp has been extinguished; she is dead."

"Then I want to say goodbye to her at her grave."

"Her body was not recovered, and Xianyun Peak did not erect a monument for her."

"I..." Chu Yeli didn't know what else she wanted to say. She just stood up in a daze, bowed, and then turned and left.

Xie Jing's voice rang out from behind.

"You don't need to feel guilty about her death. It was her fate. Instead of dwelling on the past, look forward. She's waiting for you in the future you agreed on. Also, Xianyun Peak won't be receiving guests anytime soon. If you see her junior sister, please look after her. Thank you."

The promised future?

This person is really something. They made a promise together, but she did nothing and just watched from the sky.

Alright, we'll keep our appointment as soon as possible.
