Chapter 790: The Art of Framing
Qing Lingyan and Aunt Yi were standing outside the Golden Pill Sect, their faces pale. There were still traces of blood on their lips, as they had fled desperately using every last bit of strength they had. They knew that once the array broke, the Golden Pill Sect’s people would immediately appear. If they did not escape quickly, what awaited them was surely their demise. In their current situation, even the juniors like Su Yanhua and the other disciples could easily kill them. Hence, the second they woke up, they escaped the Golden Pill Sect as fast as they could.
They were now far away from the territory of the Golden Pill Sect, and seeing that no one was coming after them, the two of them stopped to catch their breath.
“Do you have any idea what you were doing just now? You almost got us killed!” Qing Lingyan shouted at Aunt Yi, only now regaining her sense from the terror earlier.
“If I hadn’t done that, could you have killed her?” Aunt Yi retorted angrily.
“But you didn’t kill her, did you? In fact, you almost got us killed!” Qing Lingyan spat.
“Who’d have known that despicable person was so resilient? Even all that was not enough to kill her,” Aunt Yi snarled through gritted teeth.
“Do you have other ways?” Although Qing Lingyan was secretly fuming, she did not want to offend Aunt Yi, so she softened her tone.
“All of the ancient demon emperor’s blood has been used. The array can no longer be set up.” Aunt Yi sighed wearily.
“Does your Blood Beast Sect have any sacred objects?” Qing Lingyan suddenly asked.
“Why are you asking?” Aunt Yi looked at Qing Lingyan guardedly. She had changed since her early days, and was now paranoid and vicious. However, she had lived for a long time, so her scheming mind already knew why Qing Lingyan was asking.
“Tell me… If that sacred item was found in Ling Chuxi’s possession, what would your Blood Beast Sect do?” Seeing Aunt Yi’s expression, Qing Lingyan silently laughed. She had guessed right—the Blood Beast Sect indeed had a sacred object. Otherwise, Aunt Yi would not look so cautious.
Aunt Yi fell silent. She naturally understood that Qing Lingyan wanted to steal the sacred object of the sect and frame Ling Chuxi for it. However, as someone from the Blood Beast Sect, stealing the sect’s sacred object was betraying her master and shaming the sect. If it were not for Qing Lingyan bringing it up, she did not even dare think of such a thing.
“We’re only borrowing it for a while. After it’s done, it will be returned to your Blood Beast Sect,” Qing Lingyan cajoled enticingly.
Aunt Yi was obviously conflicted. After half a day of thinking, her desire for vengeance won out, and she reluctantly agreed.
The two of them quickly left their original spot, starting a journey of vengeance once again.
…
A few days later, Ling Chuxi was back to normal.
Although she was not injured, she had overused her True Qi, and if not for the Golden Pill Sect, she would have needed much longer to recover, and perhaps her cultivation would have been affected. Fortunately, the Sacred Realm of Sects had abundant spiritual qi, and in order to grow herbs, the Golden Pill Sect had chosen a place where spiritual qi gathered to set up their sect. Along with Su Yizhi’s customized refined pills, not only was Ling Chuxi able to recover her True Qi faster than before, but there were no adverse effects on her body either. Of course, the fact that it was her also played a role. If it were someone else, it would be hard to say what would have happened.
The Celestial Sect’s Ink Jade Crystals had yet to be sent over, but Duan Xiaomo’s situation had already stabilized. Hence, Ling Chuxi was not worried and started to cultivate diligently. Only after this battle did she realize how terrifying the consumption of True Qi when using a Cang Yuan Sword Style was. If one even wanted to comprehend the mysteries of the sword style, without the necessary True Qi, one could not display the true might of Cang Yuan Seven Swords.
