"Great." She covered her face and said three words in her palms, but these were the only three words left.
After she calmed down a little, she stepped out of the spiritual spring, pinched her spell, and the wetness and embarrassment were swept away.
He bowed his thanks to Zhao Ning and Zhi Yue with great solemnity.
"Hey, no, no, no, no." Zhiyue went to help her, but was not helped, so she added, "Since you want to thank, then thank Zhao Ning, she is the one who brought you Feifeng Lingyan."
Tinglan's lips trembled, she glanced at Zhao Ning, her eyes flickered, and she kowtowed more solemnly.
"Thank you, Master Shen."
Zhao Ning didn't stop her.
After bowing, Zhiyue helped her up, but Tinglan still lowered her head and did not dare to look at Zhao Ning.
Then he whispered, "I'm sorry, Master Shen, it's not that I won't tell you everything, but there are also some... related... related to the foundation of the family."
"I know." Zhao Ning's voice was very indifferent, "So I'm not in a hurry to go, I will take you with me."
Ting Lan's eyes lit up, "Thank you... thank you, uncle."
Zhiyue was a little confused, "No matter what confusing words you say, I can't understand you. Where are you going?"
Zhao Ning did not respond, but said to Ting Lan, "Although you did not detoxify for two or three years, after all, nearly a year has passed. Go and pack up, and then you can leave."
Tinglan was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes slightly in Zhiyue's direction, and realized something, so he stopped asking any more questions, just said "yes", and walked away.
"Eh?" Zhiyue wanted to stop Tinglan.
But he didn't expect the sword edge to suddenly hit him three inches before his eyebrows.
The brilliance of Chayue Sword shone like moonlight, and Zhiyue stood stiffly on the spot.
"Zhao... Zhao Ning, what... is this?"
Zhao Ning looked at her with a calm expression and just asked.
"The person behind the scenes, is it you, Zhiyue?"
Chapter 258
Zhiyue looked at the sword edge fixed three inches in front of her eyebrows. It was undeniable that she was frightened at this moment.
But the three-inch distance is actually enough to give Jin Dan a chance to escape.
"Zhao Ning, what are you talking about? Who am I behind the scenes? If I were the one behind the scenes, how could I tell you all the news I learned from Xin Sui?"
"Besides, you don't know what kind of person I, Zhiyue, am. As long as you give me a few handsome Taoist companions, I will be so wandering that I can't find the north. How can I have the brains to think about how to do everything possible to bring trouble to Kyushu? "
She glanced at Zhao Ning, and then at the sword edge. Without casting any spells, she stretched out her hand directly, with the inevitable trembling of her fingertips, touching the Moon Sword, and then gently pushed the sword edge to the side. push.
Promoted.
"Huh..." Zhiyue let out a long sigh of relief, which showed that Zhao Ning had no obvious murderous intention.
At this time, Chayue Sword turned and returned to Zhao Ning's hand.
Zhiyue clutched her chest and complained, "Zhao Ning, no matter how close your sword is to me, I feel like you are going to end our friendship with me."
Zhao Ning did not answer her words, "I know the person behind this can't be you, but you also have problems, Zhiyue."
Zhiyue still had that casual look, pretending to be sad and accusing, "That's why you detained me by this spiritual spring just to keep an eye on me, in case I cause anything."
Indeed, when Ting Lan refines poison, it is enough to have a Nascent Soul realm, so there is no need to add a golden elixir.
But even if Zhiyue guessed it, she still stayed.
"The battle for Tianyang Immortal Sect's secret realm is full of weirdness." The glory on Zhao Ning's sword had not dissipated, and her cold eyes fell on Zhiyue, "I voluntarily go with you to Tianyang Immortal Sect to 'support the show', but Don’t you need to explain what happened during the battle for the secret realm?”
She turned sideways and faced Zhiyue, "Zhiyue, where did you go after entering the secret realm?"
Zhiyue's body froze, and she couldn't even finish her words for a moment, "I...I too...went to snatch the monster beast..."
Zhao Ning's expression did not change, and he continued to speak unhurriedly, "Then why did you not have any traces of monsters on your body after you came out, and you were not even contaminated by the violent secret realm aura."
As soon as these words came out, Zhiyue was completely speechless.
Her lips moved and her eyes evaded.
Zhao Ning's clear and affirmative voice was still in her ears, "The secret realm token was handed over to Yudie by Xiang Hongxuan. If it is true, Yudie protects Xiang Hongxuan out of emotion, and should do everything possible to prevent the secret realm from opening. Instead of openly opening the secret realm in the name of a dispute in the competition meeting. This acting is too poor."
Zhiyue bit her lip.
But Zhao Ning did not look at her, and her tone softened a little, "However, it is precisely because of poor acting that people can notice it easily. This shows that either the planner is stupid, or the planner did it deliberately just to make people notice. Zhi Yue, you are not the former."
Zhiyue suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhao Ning, with some tears shining in her eyes.
"Before coming here, Xiang Hongxuan told me that the changes in you and Qingyue Palace in the past few decades are extraordinary and can be explained rationally. I agree with this, but everyone in the world has a chance, and there are some things that cannot be understood by common sense. The representative must be wrong.”
Zhao Ning put away the Chayue Sword.
"But Zhiyue, if you put this series together, tell me honestly, have you plotted against me?"
Zhiyue only felt that her legs and feet were weak, and she slowly slid against the rock next to her.
She said, "Yes."
Zhiyue closed her eyes, "I deliberately led you to Yue Lingfei. What Yue Lingfei wants is not the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, he wants spiritual bones."
The spiritual bones are the bones of Master Yuanying. After being baptized by the heavenly tribulation, they have almost faded away from their mortal bones. They contain Master Yuanying's innate magical powers and are rare things that can be refined into top-quality spiritual treasures.
However, the bones of Master Yuanying will turn into ashes once Master Yuanying dies and must be refined while he is alive.
Zhao Ning stared at Zhiyue. For some reason, she didn't feel too much disappointment or anger at this moment.
The eyes were still so calm, as if waiting for Zhiyue's next words.
Sure enough, Zhiyue said, "Zhao Ning, I don't want to harm you. I know your strength. Although Yue Lingfei's cultivation is weird, he is strong and weak at times. He only fluctuates in the early stage of Nascent Soul. Sometimes his cultivation is not even strong. To the early stage of Nascent Soul.
You will definitely be able to kill him. Moreover, I know that Xiang Hongxuan is practicing his natal sword in this secret realm. Even if you don’t check it for a moment and fall into Yue Lingfei’s way, during the refining process, it will affect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the secret realm. You will definitely interrupt Xiang Hongxuan and force him to show up, so that you can get the chance. "
Zhao Ning was indifferent, and she asked Zhiyue, "It was you who spread the news that there is a magical treasure in the secret realm."
"Yes. This will attract more people to covet it, and this competition will definitely attract a lot of people."
Zhiyue said, "These people are among the top sect masters in Yangzhou. Once the secret realm is opened and they follow, Yue Lingfei will not take action immediately.
He will only take you to the so-called Tongtian Lingbao first. If he continues to try, he will directly wake up Xiang Hongxuan. In this way, Zhao Ning, you have not even encountered Yue Lingfei's conspiracy, and his plan has been interrupted. "
"Zhao Ning!" Zhiyue shouted, "I really didn't mean to plot against you. I never thought about harming you. If something really happens to you, I will destroy my lifelong cultivation and save you. .”
Zhao Ning closed her eyes slightly, not looking into Zhiyue's painful eyes.
The two of them were speechless for a moment. It was late at night, but the full moon in the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and the whines and calls of nocturnal animals could be heard from the mountains and forests.
After a while, Zhao Ning opened her eyes and asked, "Why did you listen to Yue Lingfei?"
Zhiyue bit her lip and collapsed completely on the ground. She lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time until a drop of tear fell on the ground.
She said, "Do you still remember that when we parted ways in Yanzhou Chihuang City, I suddenly received an urgent message from Qingyue Temple?"
"I know." Zhao Ning said, "It was later rumored that you went to the Heyi Sect to settle accounts, but you were detained in the Heyi Sect. Ten years ago, you suddenly formed a middle-grade golden elixir, killed many people in the Heyi Sect, and left directly. He defeated the Heyi Sect and established the Qingyue Palace."
"Yes, that's what the rumors say," Zhiyue said, "but no one knows the details."
"In those ten years, did you meet Yue Lingfei?"
"Yes, in those ten years, I was used as a plaything by the Heyi Sect. I suffered all the hardships, and my cultivation level dropped to the level of Qi Refining. Just before I saw it, I was about to be harvested. Yue Lingfei appeared, and he He told me a secret method of anti-supplementation, allowing me to suck up all those who wantonly toyed with me."
Zhiyue leaned against the rock and laughed.
"You don't know how exhilarating that period of time is. Everyone who wants to supplement me will notice the abnormality in their body when they are most proud and happy. Watching them turn from bliss to extreme sadness, but there is nothing they can do about it. , I can only watch myself being sucked dry, and finally turning into a mummy."
Zhiyue looked at Zhao Ning, there was no emotion in her eyes, and when she talked about what happened back then, it was like an outsider looking at everything.
She said, "I sucked up all the people from the Heyi Sect, and my cultivation level soared to Yuanying. I didn't even have to accept thunder punishment. I thought everything was over, but later I discovered that the secret method didn't It's not that simple.
It has a fatal weakness. Once it is not used for a period of time, it will devour me, my cultivation will drop, my blood will drain, my life span will pass, and in the end I will become like those mummies. "
Zhao Ning frowned slightly, and she suddenly remembered that when she came to Yangzhou to find Jiang Bo, she stopped by Qingyue Palace. At that time, Qingyue Palace was selecting a "beautiful couple".
"You have thought about it, those show lovers are actually preparing for this secret method." She seemed to be in a state of madness, "I...hahahaha...I am really a person who does all kinds of evil, and I have a relationship with those... What's the difference?"
"Zhiyue." Zhao Ning snorted, "I did think of it, but I also saw that on the spirit boat, the 'Xiu couple' who stayed back then are still there."
Zhiyue paused, and those feelings of self-loathing were slowly swallowed back.
"Yes, I can't do it. I really can't do it. I don't want to be one of those people from the Heyi Sect. So I went to find Yue Lingfei again. It was indeed his handiwork. The secret method only gave me half. He followed me He said that as long as I help him ascend to the position of leader of Tianyang Immortal Sect, he will give me another half."
"This damn guy! He must hold part of it in his hand to control me!" Zhiyue screamed.
Fortunately, when Ting Lan left, Zhao Ning set up a triple ban near the spiritual spring, otherwise her collapse and shouting would startle all the creatures in the forest.
She gasped quickly and gradually calmed down, "But I'm at the end of my rope. I don't want to become a person who knows it's irrational to take supplements, let alone a person who has fallen into a state of cultivation and turned into a mummy, so I agreed. The rest. Half of the secret method allows me to supplement others, but it will not cause fundamental harm to them. As long as the elixir, elixir, or even dual cultivation can make up for it."
"Decades have passed, and Yue Lingfei finally sat on the throne of the sect leader of the Tianyang Immortal Sect. I can't remember how many times he arranged to hook up with the sect leaders and elders of the big sects in Yangzhou.
I ridiculed him more than once. I'm afraid he is too soft to sit in this position. The position of the leader of the Yangzhou Tianyang Immortal Sect was not won with strength, but with disgusting conspiracy and the body of a woman. "
"Zhao Ning, guess what he told me." Zhao Ning didn't need to answer, she had already answered her question, he said, "He is doing as the Romans do, anyone in Yangzhou is good at double cultivation. Ha, hahaha Ha ha……"
Zhao Ning turned her face away. Zhiyue's experience made Zhao Ning even regretted why she asked.
Zhiyue's laughter continued, and she just sat slumped on the ground, leaning on the stone, looking up at the full moon in the night. Unexpectedly, the light of the full moon had parted the dark clouds and spread like a veil. down.
It wasn't until she had run out of energy from laughing that she slowly stopped talking.
"Zhao Ning, I'm sorry for you, I plotted against you. Not only did I plot against you, but I also plotted against Xiang Hongxuan and He Jie." Zhiyue paused, "When you came back, the sequelae of the secret technique began to take effect again. , it was He Jie who I seduced."
She covered her face, "I have worked very hard to suppress the sequelae, and my cultivation has even dropped back to the Golden Core, but there is no way, I have no way. It was me who deceived everyone, and almost put you and Xiang Hongxuan at risk. Death, He Jie's essence was damaged, and his foundation was affected. It's all my fault."
A sob slipped through her fingers.
But after a few breaths, she suddenly noticed a gust of wind gathering around her, and forcefully dragged her up.
Zhiyue pulled off her hand and looked around blankly. The surroundings were surrounded by clear light. She looked at Zhao Ning, "Zhao Ning, what are you doing?"
"Let's not mention your fault. First, bring back the anti-tonic secret method, and then go to Yue Lingfei to settle the score." Zhao Ning said lightly. She passed Zhiyue directly, and Zhiyue automatically followed Zhao Ning under the guidance of the clear light. , "Is this, Zhao Ning, really...really? But he is now the head of the Tianyang Immortal Sect."
Zhao Ning didn't respond to her words anymore. He walked to the exit of Lingquan, raised his hand and waved, and all the three restrictions he had set before dissipated.
He turned outside for a moment and appeared in the hut on the top of the mountain. Xiang Hongxuan and He Jie had not left in the hut. The two were discussing Taoism.
