Chapter 141 Even the Ten Complete Great Tonic Pills Cannot Make Up for It
Tianyan Sect.
Xie Lingyu was currently cultivating.
The few years she wasted going to Yuzhou City had already caused her to fall behind in progress too much. At this moment, she could only seize every bit of time.
Speaking of which, things had been a bit off recently.
It seemed that her Master had not come to bother her for a long time.
In the past, every now and then, if not knocking on the door, she would be saying strange things outside. Xie Lingyu felt that if her Master had not changed her nature, then something was likely about to go wrong.
Taking the initiative to visit her Master felt somewhat like walking right into a trap. She would inevitably be asked about this and that.
For many matters, she herself actually did not know how to answer. She also did not know what to do.
How could she give the so-called explanation?
Although leaving it to time and destiny might not be correct, perhaps this was the best answer?
Xie Lingyu lowered her eyebrows, and the spirit sword at her side trembled slightly.
"Calm the heart..."
She murmured softly, not knowing if she was speaking to the sword or to herself. In any case, the sword instantly quieted down.
The sword had not been quiet for long when an urgent voice came from outside the door.
"Senior Martial Aunt Xie! Senior Martial Aunt Xie! Go quickly to Tianyan Peak!"
Xie Lingyu opened her eyes and stood up to walk out the door. The long sword at her side floated up automatically and tied itself to her waist.
She pushed open the door. Standing at the entrance was a young girl in a white shirt with small horns on her head.
This was the little flood dragon her Master had fished out from the Wanli River.
It was said to be fished out, but given her Master's temperament, the word "fished" was open to consideration. At the very least, it should be changed to the word "kidnapped".
This little flood dragon looked small, but in reality, her age was at least three times that of Xie Lingyu.
Her Master did not like the flood dragon's original name and forcibly changed it to Horn Girl.
The flood dragon would rather die than submit, saying that if she was given this name, it would be better to stew her into soup right there. Later, Xie Lingyu could not stand watching it and gave her a name, Qinghe.
Comparing these names, it went without saying which name one would be willing to say during a simple self-introduction.
Xie Lingyu looked at Qinghe and spoke in a calm tone, "Do not worry. What happened?"
Qinghe spoke in an anxious tone, "It is Grandma Bai! She is holding down the Sect Leader on Tianyan Peak and stuffing bottles of pills into the Sect Leader's mouth!"
"Grandma Bai? Are you not afraid that Master will come back and cut off the small horns on your head?"
Hearing this, Qinghe subconsciously covered her horns. Her small eyes darted around the surroundings before she spoke.
"Senior Martial Aunt Xie treats me very well and will not inform on me to Grandma Bai. I only say it in front of you."
Xie Lingyu was slightly speechless. Showing off her cleverness at a time like this. She sighed and spoke.
"Is she feeding him poison? Then you should go to Lingmiao Peak..."
"It is not poison!" Qinghe hurriedly interrupted. "It is the Ten Complete Great Tonic Pills that Grandma Bai brought back from outside!"
Ten Complete Great Tonic Pills?
What was all this? Feeding poison pills would be unjustifiable for her Master, but feeding Ten Complete Great Tonic Pills, what could go wrong?
However...
Xie Lingyu strangely gave birth to a hint of nostalgia. Why did this slightly bizarre matter seem a bit familiar?
"It is not poison. The sect rules also do not forbid feeding the Sect Leader great tonic pills, do they?"
"No, no! Those great tonic pills definitely have a problem! The Sect Leader is currently rolling around in Tianyan Sect!" Qinghe spoke with a sigh on her face. "The Sect Leader is begging Grandma Bai to spare his life, saying everything is negotiable."
"I heard that Grandma Bai is currently grinning hideously while still stuffing them in."
Xie Lingyu was stunned upon hearing this. Then, as if remembering something, she asked in confusion, "Did Master leave the sect recently?"
Qinghe thought carefully. "She did go out once, but I do not know where she went."
Before Qinghe could finish thinking, she saw Xie Lingyu transform into a rainbow light and head straight for Tianyan Peak.
Looking at Xie Lingyu's receding back, Qinghe hurriedly shouted, "Hey, hey! Senior Martial Aunt! Wait for me! I want to watch the excitement too."
Tianyan Peak.
Behind Bai Xuanling, the spirit sword transformed into thousands of light blades. A sword formation rose on all sides, surrounding Tianyan Peak so tightly that not a drop of water could leak through.
A terrifying pressure emitted endless coldness even from a distance.
Many elders from other peaks stood outside the sword formation, sizing up the main peak of Tianyan with amused gazes. From time to time, they could hear the Sect Leader's miserable howls coming from inside.
Xie Lingyu arrived in a hurry, flying in the air. After her gaze swept over the surrounding elders who were also watching the excitement, she quickly locked onto an old man with sage-like features.
Xie Lingyu cupped her hands and asked, "Peak Master Mo, why do you not break open Master's sword formation?!"
Peak Master Mo glanced at Xie Lingyu, then chuckled. "Little Lingyu? Your Master is apologizing to the Sect Leader and personally feeding him Ten Complete Great Tonic Pills. This is a good thing that unites the sect from top to bottom. Why should we break open the sword formation?"
Peak Master Mo's slightly righteous statement drew faint laughter from the surrounding Peak Masters.
Behind Xie Lingyu, Qinghe, who had arrived in a hurry, saw the situation clearly and hurriedly transmitted her voice:
"Senior Martial Aunt! When this Peak Master Mo developed the Nine Profound Recurve Great Formation two years ago, he blew up two side peaks. In a fit of anger, the Sect Leader stopped his spirit stone funding."
"He has publicly cursed the Sect Leader many times for having a block of wood for a head, saying that for such a person to lead the Tianyan Sect, the Ancestral Master must have been blind..."
Hearing this, Xie Lingyu directly cut off Qinghe's voice transmission. If she let Qinghe continue telling little stories, it would take at least half a quarter of an hour.
Xie Lingyu cupped her hands and said, "I wonder which Peak Master is willing to break open the sword formation? After all, this concerns the face of the Tianyan Sect."
After the scene fell slightly silent, the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall sighed and walked out.
"Little Lingyu, do you still not understand your Master? Before your Master came, she called everyone she could call to help, just to prevent anyone from ruining the good deed."
Xie Lingyu looked at the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall with surprise. "Are you also here to watch the excitement involving the Sect Leader?"
"Of course I am not. I naturally came to rescue the Sect Leader." The Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall stared and spoke seriously.
"It is just that currently, there are many Peak Masters helping her. I am waiting for the other Peak Masters to come to our aid. When we have more people, we will naturally rescue the Sect Leader from deep water and scorching fire."
The Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall's righteous speech drew another burst of laughter from the other Peak Masters.
Xie Lingyu was stunned. No, she had only been away from the sect for a few years.
How did the Sect Leader seem to have become the public enemy of the entire sect? Even the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, who used to be the most fair and just, had now become like this?
Peak Master Mo said with a kind face, "Little Lingyu, calculating the time, it should be about enough. Your Master will not go too far..."
Before he finished speaking. Inside Tianyan Peak.
The Sect Leader's miserable and shrill howl came out: "You might as well kill me!"
Peak Master Mo was stunned upon hearing this, and his gaze quickly met that of the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. Bai Xuanling... surely she was not playing for real?
Just as the two were preparing to take action together, the sword formation around Tianyan Peak quickly retracted.
A figure rushed out from the main peak, heading straight for Xie Lingyu.
The rainbow light arrived in the blink of an eye. The figure settled, and Bai Xuanling looked at Xie Lingyu with a face full of comfort.
She said happily, "My good disciple, why have you come?"
Xie Lingyu's gaze was confused. "Is the Sect Leader alright?!"
"What kind of talk is that? What can happen from eating Ten Complete Great Tonic Pills?" Bai Xuanling said loudly.
"The Sect Leader is too weak. Even after I personally fed him three bottles of top-grade Ten Complete Great Tonic Pills, I still could not replenish his Origin Qi."
"The Tianyan Sect Leader! Must! Properly! Exercise! Self! Control!"
