Chi Li probably did get lost, but it wasn't considered that. As far as the result is concerned, she still came to Xueyan Valley. It’s just that she appeared inside the Snow Inkstone Valley. And this was not decided by Xiao, it was her own choice. Chili doesn't need to walk through the spiritual veins, she can go anywhere through the mirror.
This place was not like the Snow Inkstone Sect, at least it was different from what she remembered. Even though she was still young when her grandfather was alive, the gentle atmosphere was still unforgettable and would not be the cold and cold look it has today. The rules of the Xue Yan Sect are not strict. Although only the disciples of the sect can enter and exit this place, everyone wears their clothes very casually. As long as they don't go out, it doesn't matter if they wear their own clothes in the valley - they are all our own people anyway. When her father took over, he made a little more demands, but she didn't know it because she had never paid attention to it.
But now... where did these people in strange clothes come from?
They don't look like disciples of our sect. Their footwork and breathing methods are different from those who practice Xue Yan Sword Technique. Although Chi Li didn't know, she could quickly observe it from Mu Wan. There are even evil spirits in many people.
Rather, are they really human?
The Snow Inkstone Sect has two proud techniques, which are well known to people in the world. One is the way to control a sword, and the other is the way to conquer demons. At first, he was a kind grandfather. He liked to deal with animals and little monsters the most. His sword skills became famous from his father. Everyone knew that he was very warlike. He also figured out the skills of the sword by himself. More and more people came here because of his fame. many.
There should be monsters in the valley, but they shouldn't have murderous intentions.
What's going on with this atmosphere today?
"I don't think Xue Yan Valley should be like this."
Standing under the tree, Chili lowered her head and spoke frankly. Akatsuki's appearance appeared in the mirror. He nodded and told her that Xueyangu had been strengthening its defenses a few months ago.
"Who are you guarding against? I don't understand. What happened?"
"It's not prevention," Xiao explained, "it's control."
"control?"
"The Death Shadow Pavilion is strengthening its penetration into Xue Yan Valley. Although it is not Gao Yuejun's intention, She Ji, her confidant, feels that it would be better to control this place. He has always wanted to have a ready-made force that belongs to humans. And seize real power from the shadows.”
"Why did he do this?" Chi Li looked at him, "Why the Snow Inkstone Sect?"
“Because of the right time and place, and because of the harmonious relationship.”
Chi Li hasn't fully understood the meaning of this sentence, but someone on patrol has already discovered them - or her. Those people recognized at a glance that she was not a disciple of our sect, and rushed forward with their swords involuntarily. Chi Li drew her sword to block the blow, then turned around and blocked Yun Waijing with her body. The three people who attacked probably didn't notice the mirror, and their main purpose was still to subdue her. She often fights with Xiao in Yunwai Realm, and it is not a difficult task to fend off a few small people.
Their offense has no skills, just simple slashing and grabbing. It was easy to deal with them, but this battle attracted more people's attention. She should have left here, but she didn't, and she didn't actually kill those people. The patrolling guards had their wrist bones shattered and were unable to hold a knife for a year or so.
Chi Li knew that the news of his existence would spread to the top and reach the ears of Wu Yuangui and She Ji. What would they think? The only one who can bypass all the guards and enter the Snow Inkstone Valley is the Six Paths of Impermanence, so the problem will inevitably be pushed to Shan Hai and the others. If you think about it carefully, the act of barging in directly might be very reckless, but she is not such an irrational person - she deliberately separated from Mo Liang and the others. In this way, no matter where there is a problem on one side, there is still room for the other side to struggle.
However, the interior of Xueyan Valley exceeded her expectations. Xiao had not warned her, but he did not think her plan was unreasonable, so he did not dissuade her. More people rushed over - none of them went to report the news, and they all had strong demonic aura. This demonic energy cannot be their shikigami, but themselves. So Chili concluded that they were just puppets who took orders from others and would not pose any real threat. So Chi Li began to consider that maybe there was no need to spare their lives.
She tilted the angle of the sword slightly so that the next time she swung the sword, she could easily slit the throats of the monsters. But she just thought this way. Before she could execute the move, a pale sword flashed suddenly, and the opponents in front of her stopped their movements one after another. A knife penetrated their waists, and white smoke spread out from the trajectory just now, like clouds falling from the sky. After overflowing, it quickly expanded and splashed, and quickly turned red, exploding in a Flat blood flowers.
They were all broken into two pieces and fell to the ground one after another, quickly turning into charcoal along with the strange white smoke. The sword technique is silent, but this strange effect is Gui Tan's own ability. Sure enough, after the body parts were scattered, Mo Liang's thin figure appeared in front of her.
"Where have you been?" he asked. "We are looking for you everywhere."
Chili looked around and saw that there were suddenly fewer enemies around. Not far away, Shan Hai and Dai Luan dealt with the last patrollers in this area. She sighed heavily, bent down, grabbed his shoulders and said:
"I intentionally didn't want to meet you and tried to find out something. I didn't expect you to come here so quickly."
"No, it's not us." Mo Liang shook his head and pointed at the girl behind him, "She brought us in."
Xi Yu stretched out his hand and greeted Mo Liang from behind.
Chi Li frowned and looked up and down suspiciously. Xi Yu didn't know what she was looking at, so he grinned at her and waved his hand as a greeting. Chi Li asked her: "Are you a disciple of our sect? If it is convenient, can you tell me what happened in the sect in the past two years?"
"Eh...but I've only started working for less than a year."
"What do you know, just say it."
"Isn't this...not good?" Xi Yu smiled with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Senior Sister Liangqiu hasn't said anything yet, so I can't reveal more. After all, I'm also a disciple of the sect, so it's inconvenient. It’s really hard to say…”
Chi Li glanced at Mu Wan. She opened her mouth to say something, but felt there was no need to say anything. So Shan Hai came forward to persuade her again, saying that as long as it was something that could be revealed, just say it, and the inconvenient part didn't matter. Xi Yu thought for a while and then relaxed. But what she can tell is mostly her own business.
She is not a local, but comes from far away. In such a small place, she learned some martial arts from her grandfather and became somewhat famous. Her parents were both businessmen and disdained martial arts, and just wanted to marry her off as soon as possible. She also has two younger brothers, some of whom are spoiled by their parents. Fortunately, grandpa treated everyone equally and always said to the two people, "You should stay out of Ayu's affairs. I have the final say."
Her parents didn't like her practicing martial arts and thought she would be "hit in their hands", but she didn't listen and focused on defending the local ring. As a result, she really made her name known, and her parents didn't dare to say anything more and stopped mentioning the matter of getting married. Until the grandfather who loved her most passed away at the beginning of this year, her parents began to talk about finding a matchmaker again, and she was angry and worried.
In the arena competition in that area, many outsiders came to challenge, but there were no rewards. Everyone came just to join in the fun, so they never saw any outstanding martial arts talents. Until one day, I passed by a young talented man and said that I was on my way. I had a few tricks with her just to be fresh. Probably she was in a bad mood, performed abnormally, and lost. The onlookers were booing and booing, saying that it would be better for her to get married. She was furious and pulled the man to try again. The young man looked her over, gave her some praise for her martial arts, and said that she would compete again tomorrow, and someone left a note for her.
The next day, Xi Yu and the young man were gone, and the onlookers were all gone. The Xi family members cursed but could do nothing. Later they found out that the man was the acting head of Xueyan Valley, and he was passing by here on his way back with his fellow disciples after finishing his work. As for the note he left, he naturally thought that she was qualified for further study and advised her to get started.
Although he was scolded by his family as a loser, it didn't matter to Xi Yu now. With a little help from the seniors of the Xue Yan Sect, her martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, and she no longer needed to be given up a few moves when fighting against her master.
Her master's name is Wu Yuangui.
She didn't know much about the Xue Yan Sect, and her master didn't tell her anything. Just getting along with Xie Huayao every day, over time, I learned about Liangqiu Muwan. Xie Huayao said that her master was looking for a mirror, and only Liang Qiu knew where it was. She was with a Taoist priest and a little girl. Her biological sister Xie Hualing brought the map to them, and they sent Liangqiu there.
"What the hell?!" Dai Luan yelled.
For Chi Li, I don’t know if it counts as preconceived, but at least she feels Shan Hai’s words are more credible. She looked at them again, and all of them had angry expressions on their faces, but no one argued with Xi Yu anymore. After all, strictly speaking, she is an irrelevant outsider.
"That's not what happened..." Mu Wan tried his best to suppress his anger, "Actually... forget it, it's useless to tell you this. Where is the person named Wu?"
"Why is it useless!" Xi Yu put his hands on his hips, "I am the most powerful disciple at the same time. No one can beat me. I mean, even senior brothers and sisters must be polite. You go out to find Yun Waijing, right? Isn’t that right? So now that you’re back, you’ve found it?”
"nothing dealing with you."
After hearing this, Xi Yu was not happy. She immediately stopped in front of everyone and started making trouble like a child:
"I don't care. Since you have returned to the valley, you must have found it. Show me first!"
Mu Wan felt a headache from the beginning. These conversations seemed almost familiar. You must know that the last time she came back, what she was most afraid of being asked about was the whereabouts of her master. It's just that this "mission" was completely unfounded, and I don't know where Wu Yuangui was so bold to talk nonsense and deceive such a child.
Wait a moment.
Does she really know nothing? Is it true that everyone is so strict in speaking? Didn't anyone who knew the truth tell her something?
Is Xie Huayao really okay?
Mu Wan looked at Xi Yu with more and more suspicion. She turned her head and found that Chi Li's gaze was even more aggressive.
