Yan Xiao quickly said, "I don't know what the situation is with others, but most of us official disciples are grateful for Senior Sister's kindness. For the past two decades, Senior Sister has managed Lingxu Peak top to bottom. From our daily necessities to our cultivation and enlightenment, Senior Sister's help has been there. Anyone with a modicum of gratitude wouldn't speak ill of Senior Sister."
Li Shuang was silent for a moment, then said, "I thought you would all resent me."
She still remembered that when she was still in the Sword Sect, the disciples of Lingxu Peak looked at her with a hint of hostility.
Yan Xiao scratched his head awkwardly, "We dare not disobey the Peak Master's will."
No matter what they thought in their hearts, as long as they were still on Lingxu Peak, they had to follow the will of True Immortal Lingxu.
Li Shuang raised an eyebrow, "Then this time, aren't you afraid that Ye Zhaozhao and the others will target you when they go back?"
Yan Xiao stood rooted to the spot, as if struck by lightning.
Given how petty those two were, he would most likely be targeted...
But.
What they were doing crossed Yan Xiao's bottom line. No matter what, he couldn't intentionally lure monsters to harm Senior Sister Li.
Li Shuang found it somewhat amusing, "Alright. You don't need to worry too much. The senior disciple of Lingxu Peak now is Sheng Yuan. Sheng Yuan... generally wouldn't deliberately target anyone. If anything happens, just go find him."
Li Shuang spoke calmly.
Sheng Yuan was someone she had personally mentored, and she still understood this junior brother to some extent.
"Senior Sister Li, you don't know. We haven't received our cultivation resources this month. Senior Brother sold all the resources, saying he wanted to help Ye Zhaozhao through her difficulties first..." Yan Xiao immediately started complaining when he heard this.
Li Shuang was stunned.
Taking other disciples' cultivation resources to make up for the deficit caused by Ye Zhaozhao.
Had this Sheng Yuan... gone mad?
For a moment, she was speechless.
Along the way, Yan Xiao complained frantically about the affairs of Lingxu Peak.
Li Shuang just listened calmly.
Those matters no longer concerned her.
Besides listening, she couldn't help in any way.
Yan Xiao also realized this. He quickly stopped and then softly said, "Senior Sister Li, after you left, Lingxu Peak is no longer the same as before."
Before Li Shuang left.
No one expected her to be so important.
It wasn't until she left.
The entire Lingxu Peak fell into complete chaos, and Li Shuang's importance became apparent.
Thinking about it carefully.
Li Shuang had indeed done too much.
Managing Lingxu Peak, teaching disciples, which Lingxu Peak disciple hadn't received her favor?
But now.
She was just driven away like that.
Those who had received her favor, when they were in the sect, didn't even have the courage to say a word to her.
Yan Xiao suddenly didn't know what to say, and the world fell into a sudden silence.
Li Shuang looked back at him and said calmly, "It's alright."
With the Taishang Forgetting Emotion Art running, she felt the deep guilt in Yan Xiao's heart.
But.
It's alright.
It really is alright.
These things couldn't leave the slightest trace in her heart.
Yan Xiao responded softly, but became even more dejected.
The outer region was vast. Li Shuang took Yan Xiao to explore, and both of them gained something.
On the way.
Li Shuang also rescued several sect disciples who were being chased by demonic beasts.
These disciples were not from the Sword Sect.
This made Li Shuang even more worried about Liu Juncheng's situation.
Second Senior Brother was now nowhere to be found.
But.
The outer region was simply too vast. It was incredibly difficult to meet a specific person.
The fact that these four from Lingxu Peak could gather together at the beginning and were all near her was like a fantasy.
Li Shuang couldn't figure out if this was a coincidence or something else.
Even if it was a coincidence, it seemed a bit outrageous.
But if it wasn't a coincidence, what was it?
Seven days later.
Li Shuang had already rescued four people.
Li Shuang looked at the four and said, "The four of you should try to stay together. Ordinary demonic beasts should no longer be a match for you."
"Senior Sister Li, are you going to the inner region?" Yan Xiao reacted instantly.
Li Shuang nodded, her expression indifferent.
She didn't explain much, turned around, and left.
Watching Li Shuang's back.
These four disciples couldn't help but feel emotional.
A disciple from Cangyuan Sect couldn't help but say, "Is this Li Shuang... really only at the Qi Condensation stage?"
Before, several of them were being chased by a demonic beast and were hesitating whether to use their tokens to leave.
Li Shuang, at the Qi Condensation stage, directly forced the demonic beast away with a single sword strike.
This strength...
It was a bit terrifying.
Thinking about it.
If she were also at the Foundation Establishment stage now...
Wouldn't she be invincible in this Langya Secret Realm?
"Of course. Our Senior Sister Li is naturally a peerless genius. She's not inferior to your Yan Fan at all," Yan Xiao said proudly.
The Cangyuan Sect disciple couldn't help but retort, "I admit she's a genius, but she's probably still a bit behind Senior Brother Yan Fan."
"That's not necessarily true!" Yan Xiao immediately retorted.
"I think if they had the same cultivation, Yan Fan might not necessarily win," a disciple from Jueyi Sect joined the discussion.
"It's hard to say, after all, they've never fought," a disciple from Qianji Sect also couldn't help but say.
Although Li Shuang was currently only at the Qi Condensation stage.
However.
The discussion about who was the first genius, her or Yan Fan, had already begun to resurface.
Li Shuang didn't know about this, and even if she did, she would just smile it off.
Although she was still worried about Liu Juncheng and the others, it was difficult to pinpoint locations in the secret realm.
She could only follow her original goal and head to the Ice Lake first.
The Ice Lake was located at the junction of the inner and core regions.
To reach this place, one almost had to cross the entire inner region. The inner region was not highly developed, had more treasures, but was also more dangerous.
Those demonic tribes would definitely focus their troublemaking on the inner and core regions.
Li Shuang was not afraid of those demonic tribes.
As long as their strength remained at the Foundation Establishment stage, no matter who it was, she was confident in fighting them.
Li Shuang no longer hesitated and rushed to the inner region at the fastest possible speed.
In a hidden cave.
Chang Le'an and Ye Zhaozhao had also barely managed to recover.
Chang Le'an looked at Ye Zhaozhao, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Ye Zhaozhao glanced at him, showing a look of lingering surprise, "Third Senior Brother, I used my only Tier 5 acceleration talisman to escape with us."
So it was a Tier 5 talisman.
Chang Le'an understood, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth, "Thanks to your foresight, Junior Sister! Otherwise, this time, we would really have been eliminated by Li Shuang."
Ye Zhaozhao sighed, "Senior Sister Li... alas, I really don't know why she would do such a thing."
Chang Le'an snorted, "Why else? Some people are just naturally malicious!"
Ye Zhaozhao's eyes flickered. In the map provided by the system, she had already seen Li Shuang's red dot moving rapidly towards the inner region.
She had to catch up as soon as possible!
This Chang Le'an was a burden. She couldn't take him to the inner region.
Ye Zhaozhao began to ponder how to shake off Chang Le'an and leave for a while.
