Book 3: Chapter 29: Even The Girl Is So Active, But You...
“Did you kill them all?”
Xue Ling appeared beside Bai Qiuran and asked lightly.
“Just two.”
Bai Qiuran took out the Soul-Capturing Stone given to him by Li Jinyao and showed the Soul-Absorbing Blade in front of Xue Ling.
“You have to find the rest, I guess all of them are still in that ancient city.”
“Ok.”
Xue Ling extended his hand.
“Give it to me.”
“Not so fast.”
But Bai Qiuran suddenly withdrew his hand. He looked at Xue Ling and asked:
“Can you tell me one thing first? These Land Immortals keep mentioning [Sacred Dynasty], what is it? You said you didn’t know before, but after this incident came out, I believed you have investigated it, right?”
“…I did investigate and knew a lot of things.”
After a moment of silence, Xue Ling said:
“But there are confidentiality regulations, thus I can’t tell you. Otherwise, not only my soul will be obliterated, even Ming Ying, my subordinates and friends will also be implicated.”
“Oh?”
Bai Qiuran asked:
“Is it related to the Immortal Realm?”
“I can’t say.”
Xue Ling turned his head.
“But if you really want to know, then go find it yourself. The secret you want to know lies in Wise Immortal Mansion… If you are lucky, you may even learn how to break through the Qi Refining stage.”
“Wise Immortal…Mansion?”
Bai Qiuran chewed these words.
“Where is that?”
Xue Ling pointed to the sky in the distance, and Bai Qiuran looked up and found that it was the towering mountain that hung down from the sky.
“That’s the entrance of Wise Immortal Mansion”
Xue Ling said:
“If you want to know the answer, go find it yourself.”
Bai Qiuran thought for a moment, and then threw the Soul-Capturing Stone and the Soul-Absorbing Blade to Xue Ling. The Soul Taker took it, then took out a paper lantern from the void, and flicked it. Two green lights were sucked out of the stone and the blade and were absorbed into the paper lantern.
“Wait a minute.”
Watching Xue Ling put away the lantern, Bai Qiuran said:
“Although you refused to say it, I guess that these Land Immortals should be the losing side in some kind of battle. What will happen to them after you are taken to the Underworld?”
“What should I do? Normally if a person didn’t make a big mistake, he will be sentenced to reincarnation, but these two guys, directly and indirectly, led to the death of tens of thousands of people, then…”
Xue Ling replied coldly:
“The only sentence that is waiting for them is to suffer in 18 Circles of Hell…Why do you ask? Do you want to plead for them?”
“Of course not.”
Bai Qiuran asked:
“I just want to know if they will go to Seamless Hell.”
Xue Ling thought about it.
“Although their crime is on the edge, so the sentencing is in a subtle position, I guess they will go to that in the end.”
“That’s good.”
Bai Qiuran was relieved.
“I don’t need you anymore, just go away.”
Xue Ling was also not annoyed. He turned and walked towards the direction of the ancient city. His figure gradually blurred and disappeared into the wind.
At the same time, Mystery Academy disciples who just entered the ancient city to search, and found two rows of black prisms from an underground mausoleum, suddenly felt a gust of wind passing by.
After became cultivators, they were no longer afraid of the cold and heat, but this gust of wind was so cold that even they felt a chill ran down the spine. The feeling was like falling into the ice cave, making their minds have a short numbness. After this gust of wind disappeared, the disciples of Mystery Academy recovered, but they were surprised to find that the prisms actually shattered into pieces and turned into piles of black fine sand.
The disciples quickly reported to Elder Xu of Mystery Academy, who led people her as fast as possible and looked at this scene in amazement.
“What happened?”
He asked.
“I don’t know, we just feel a cold wind blowing, and it turns to this.”
Several disciples replied, but they couldn’t explain why.
Elder Xu went down to check and found that there was no response in these fine sands, so he said angrily:
“These things must be the same as the cracked prism before, all of them are valuable research materials related to the secrets of Land Immortals. Now you tell me that they’re all gone?”
The disciples of the Mystery Academy who were responsible for guarding here bowed their heads and did not dare to say anything.
“Alright, Elder Xu, don’t be angry.”
At this time, Bai Qiuran walked in from outside the mausoleum. He glanced at the prism that shattered into fine sand on the ground, and then said to Elder Xu:
“I know who did it. Don’t blame these disciples.”
“Sword Patriarch?”
Elder Xu was stunned for a moment, and then depressed his temper, saying:
“Who did that?”
Bai Qiuran walked to Elder Xu and whispered to his ear. Elder Xu suddenly realized:
“It turned out to be…”
“Don’t say it out loud.”
Bai Qiuran said:
“There are still many things in this ancient city, enough for you to research for a long time.”
He turned and walked out, looking up at the mountain above him. After a while, Su Xiangxue came to his side and looked up at the sky with him, asking:
“Have all the souls of Land Immortal been arrested by the Soul Taker?”
“Well, I didn’t leave any, so he won’t have trouble.”
Bai Qiuran replied:
“Not only he has just been promoted, but he also found a partner. When he was alive, he was single. After he died, he finally found his soulmate. After all, we are old acquaintances who had known each other for so many years, not to mention that we can intercept this ancient city this time because of his help. I would feel quite too embarrassed if his joy turns into sadness because of me.”
“People can find their soulmate even after they die, when will you be able to find yours?”
Su Xiangxue said quietly.
Bai Qiuran sighed.
“Yeah, when?”
“The iron tree blossoms new buds, and the deadwood will still re-emerge every spring. No one is forever young, when will Qiuran get married?”
Su Xiangxue continued to mutter with a grudge.
“Are you here to make fun of me?”
Bai Qiuran asked with a stinky face.
Su Xiangxue really wanted to go back and say that “Actually I’m here to make love with you”, but after thinking it over carefully, she felt that it was too inelegant, afraid that Bai Qiu would not like it, so she changed her words:
“Seriously, have you ever thought about getting married?”
She looked up at Bai Qiuran and encouraged:
“Wealth, technique, partner, and land are four things that are indispensable for cultivators. This sentence is not empty talk. Maybe if you find a girl, you will have inspiration, and can you break through the Foundation Establishment stage?”
“This one……”
Bai Qiuran looked a little moved, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again.
“Forcing marriage is not something a righteous person should do, and I don’t have a suitable object in my heart. I’ll try again to see can I break through the Foundation Establishment stage by myself?”
Su Xiangxue rolled her eyes.
“With all my respect, you have tried for more than three thousand years.”
“It’s different this time.”
Bai Qiuran looked at the sky and pointed to the mountain peak and said:
“This time someone told me clearly that there might be a clue about how someone like me breaks through the Foundation Establishment stage. I think that at least I have to take a look.”
