Hearing this, Lei Xinghe said helplessly:
"There is nothing we can do about it. Only deacon elders and those above are qualified to read the files of the teleportation array."
Ji Miaofu pondered for a moment, then spoke again, taking the initiative to move the focus of the discussion away from this topic that was destined to be inconclusive:
"We don't need to worry too much about this matter for the time being... Let's talk about the situation at hand first."
"From the news I have received in the past few days, I can judge that the situation is developing in our favor as we had previously speculated."
"This is all thanks to this little thing."
Having said this, the Taoist nun paused for a moment, waved her hand gently, and took out a transparent crystal with a cloud-like substance inside from the storage jade bracelet.
She raised her hand and placed the crystal in front of her eyes, with a hint of distress between her eyebrows.
"For such a small picture stone, the profiteer actually wanted ten spirit stones. Senior sister, I suffered a lot of bleeding this time."
Upon hearing this, Lei Xinghe put his eyes on the crystal in the Taoist nun's hand.
He asked curiously:
"Senior sister, is this the image stone?"
The Taoist nun nodded when she heard the strong man's question.
She moved her fingers lightly, injecting spiritual power into the crystal, and then released her hand.
The crystal that lost its support did not fall, but floated steadily in mid-air.
Inside it, little bits of light began to condense.
This light became more and more intense, and after reaching a limit, it suddenly dispersed like an explosion, and a human figure appeared in the empty space between Ji Miaofu and Lei Xinghe.
This figure, dressed in green clothes, has a beautiful face and a cold temperament.
It was Sikong Yueling.
Lei Xinghe was stunned when he saw this figure.
He subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to touch it and see if this figure was real.
The result... is naturally negative.
His hand went straight through the figure's body.
At this time, the strong man suddenly came back to his senses.
He took his hand back, looked at his palm, then at the figure, and said in wonder:
"Senior sister, the image imprinted in the image stone is too real. If she hadn't been invisible, I would have thought it was her standing in front of us."
Ji Miaofu smiled when he heard the strong man's words and responded:
"If this were not the case, the value would not be so expensive. Moreover, the function of this shadow stone is not only to show human figures, it can also imprint sounds."
After saying this, the Taoist nun raised her hand, passed her fingers through the figure, and directly touched the crystal at its core, injecting a small amount of spiritual power again.
The figure has changed.
I saw the girl in green who was standing quietly on the ground making slight movements.
With a faint smile on her face, her red lips opened and closed gently, and a sound actually came out from inside:
"Junior brothers and sisters of Lingxin Valley, I am Sikong Yueling. I want to compete for the title of Lord of Lingxin Valley this time. I hope that all junior brothers and sisters can support me..."
When Lei Xinghe heard this voice, he was stunned for a long time. Then he slowly came back to his senses and sighed:
"Senior sister, this image stone is so powerful, it can even imitate the sound exactly the same!"
After Ji Miaofu heard the strong man's sigh, he chuckled and responded:
"The most powerful thing is not the Image Stone, but your senior sister and me."
When Lei Xinghe heard this, his expression was a little confused at first. After a few breaths, he suddenly thought of something and showed a look of enlightenment.
"I almost forgot, senior sister, you are proficient in music. You can imitate the timbre and tone of anyone who speaks to you almost perfectly."
The Taoist nun smiled slightly and responded:
"That's right. If someone else gets the photo stone and wants to imitate another person, the thing they get will only be crudely made, similar in appearance but not in spirit."
"Only you, senior sister, and I have the ability to imprint a person's essence and spirit into it almost perfectly."
"Only with the influence of this kind of quality can we successfully deceive those male disciples."
When the strong man heard this, he couldn't help but say:
"Senior sister, this is amazing!"
When Ji Miaofu heard his junior brother's praise, he just shook his head slightly.
"It's just some heresy..."
She lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and continued:
"I used this carefully crafted image stone as the mother stone, and then bought ten more, imprinting the forged influence into it, and distributed them to a few trusted confidants."
"These people, in the past few days, have secretly spread the news I forged throughout the entire Spiritual Heart Valley."
“The subsequent response has been very good.”
"Most of the male disciples have become agitated because of this news. They are all gearing up and want to use their votes to exchange for a picture stone with Sikong Yueling's image imprinted on it."
"At the same time, it also succeeded in making most of the female disciples feel dissatisfied with Sikong Yueling because of this matter."
Having said this, the Taoist nun's eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy, and she continued:
"Actually... what I'm most worried about is that when this matter first started to spread, Sikong Yueling knew about it and came out in time to clarify it and suppress the news."
"I didn't expect that during these most critical days, she would actually run outside of Lingxin Valley."
"Although she is back now, by this time, those male disciples have become convinced of the matter, and it is too late for her to come out and clarify."
"Unless she can provide evidence that others have forged news, it will only make those male disciples think that she is playing tricks on them, thereby offending those male disciples who were originally prepared to support her."
When Ji Miaofu said this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, with a very confident expression.
"However, since I have been prepared for it, how can I let her find the evidence?"
"No matter what Sikong Yueling did outside the valley, it is impossible for her to be able to stir up trouble in the face of this game I carefully designed..."
Lei Xinghe stood aside and scratched his head.
He looked at the confident smile on his senior sister's face, and couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes.
…
In Lingxin Valley, on Yunfeng Island.
Han Yun sat on his knees in the secret room blankly, with a haggard face and a dazed expression.
His face was as pale as a piece of rice paper, and there were extremely thick black circles around his dull eyes.
Since sending Ye Song away last time, he has been studying the problem of retreating instead of progressing in his cultivation.
However, several days passed and he still couldn't find any clue.
He tried all kinds of methods, and even invited all the alchemy monks from the Baicao Hall to diagnose and treat him. He ate all kinds of weird elixirs, but the situation did not improve at all.
As soon as he enters the cultivation state, his cultivation level will still decline inexplicably.
Not only that, Han Yun also discovered that in the past few days, the chance of him going crazy was much higher than usual.
In the past, even if he practiced continuously for a whole year, he might not encounter it even once.
But now, in just a few days, he has fallen into a state of obsession three times.
