Chapter 215: The Ten Thousand Souls Banner
He had never imagined that Lu Xueqi's current strength had become so terrifying that she was already capable of using the legendary technique of Spacetime Transportation.
He then glanced at Lu Xueqi's figure, which had already disappeared, quickly stepped forward, and strode into it.
The moment Xiao Yicai entered, a trace of disappointment flashed through his heart.
During the Seven Peaks Tournament, he had never met Lu Xueqi.
Previously, he had only heard that Xiaozhu Peak had such a gifted disciple as Lu Xueqi, but he knew nothing about her true circumstances.
At Flowing Wave Mountain, the moment he saw Lu Xueqi, he was instantly captivated by her peerless beauty and graceful bearing.
Lu Xueqi's terrifying strength and unrivaled beauty left an indelible impression upon his heart, causing Xiao Yicai to develop the desire to pursue her.
This time, when he learned that his master had assigned him to serve as Lu Xueqi's guide, he immediately understood his master's intentions.
His master clearly intended to bring him and Lu Xueqi together.
At this moment, Daoxuan indeed had such thoughts.
Lu Xueqi possessed unparalleled beauty and boundless strength. She was now the pillar supporting the Qingyun Sect.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yicai was the successor Daoxuan had personally chosen to inherit the position of the Qingyun Sect's next Sect Leader.
If Xiao Yicai and Lu Xueqi could become a couple, it would be an enormous blessing for the Qingyun Sect.
That was why he had entrusted Xiao Yicai with accompanying Lu Xueqi on this journey to eliminate the demons below the mountain—he hoped the two of them would have ample opportunity to interact and cultivate mutual affection along the way.
However, Lu Xueqi had directly used Spacetime Transportation, instantly ruining both Xiao Yicai's and Daoxuan's plans.
Although Xiao Yicai felt regretful, there was nothing he could do.
After Xiao Yicai stepped into the Spacetime Passage, the passage above the Jade Purity Hall instantly closed, as though it had never existed.
Meanwhile, above Heyang City, more than a hundred kilometers away from the Qingyun Sect, a deep, dark passage suddenly appeared.
Moments later, Lu Xueqi and Xiao Yicai quietly emerged.
Looking at the bustling city below, a trace of reminiscence flashed through Lu Xueqi's eyes.
The last time she had come to Heyang City, she had been accompanied by Lin Jingyu, Qi Hao, and Zhang Xiaofan.
Now, everything had changed.
Qi Hao had already been killed by her, while Zhang Xiaofan was still being punished at the back mountain of Dazhu Peak.
As for Lin Jingyu, she was uncertain of his current situation. She had only heard that he had entered closed-door cultivation and seemed to be preparing to break through into the Upper Purity Realm.
Furthermore, Sect Leader Daoxuan also intended for Lin Jingyu to succeed as the Peak Chief of Longshou Peak, though everything would have to wait until he successfully broke through to the Upper Purity Realm.
At present, all the disciples of the Qingyun Sect had already begun cultivating the revised version of the 《Tai Chi Profound Immortal Dao》 created by Lu Xueqi.
After this technique had been distributed, the majority of the Qingyun Sect's disciples had entered closed-door cultivation to switch over to the new cultivation method.
According to the many senior brothers who had already completed the transition, the new technique cultivated much faster, and the spiritual energy it produced was far more abundant.
After completing the transition, their strength had increased by more than double.
Upon hearing this news, the enthusiasm of the Qingyun Sect's disciples soared, and they all eagerly began switching to the new cultivation method.
Lu Xueqi also sensed that Xiao Yicai beside her had likewise switched to the 《Tai Chi Profound Immortal Dao》 she had distributed. Moreover, his cultivation had already broken through into the Upper Purity Realm, reaching the First Level of the Upper Purity Realm. His talent was indeed quite impressive.
Seeing Lu Xueqi gazing at Heyang City below, Xiao Yicai said, “Junior Sister Lu, we've arrived at Heyang City. Let's head down.”
Lu Xueqi nodded.
“Alright.”
Her figure flashed as she entered Heyang City.
After entering the city, she recalled the Shanhai Garden where she had stayed previously and said to Xiao Yicai, “Senior Brother Xiao, I came to Heyang City once before and stayed at Shanhai Garden. The environment and cuisine there were both excellent. How about we stay there again today?”
Upon hearing Lu Xueqi's words, Xiao Yicai's expression became somewhat strange before he shook his head.
“Junior Sister Lu, I'm afraid staying at Shanhai Garden is no longer possible.”
Hearing this, Lu Xueqi looked at him in confusion.
“Senior Brother Xiao, why do you say that?”
Xiao Yicai replied directly,
“I heard that after you all left Heyang City, Shanhai Garden was massacred by members of the Demonic Sect. The entire establishment collapsed, and many people died.
Now that place has been designated a forbidden area. No civilians dare rebuild there, so it has become nothing but ruins.”
Hearing this, Lu Xueqi immediately recalled how they had been ambushed by members of the Demonic Sect shortly after leaving Shanhai Garden during their previous visit.
Everything instantly became clear to her. It seemed that those members of the Demonic Sect had been responsible.
Her expression darkened slightly as she said, “Those Demonic Sect scoundrels truly deserve to be executed by everyone.”
Hearing Lu Xueqi's words, Xiao Yicai also nodded solemnly.
Although not everyone within the Demonic Sect was evil, the vast majority of them acted perversely and delighted in attacking ordinary civilians.
Otherwise, they would never have been branded with the title of the Demonic Sect.
By contrast, although righteous sects such as the Qingyun Sect also had many unsavory aspects, they at least maintained the appearance of righteousness.
They would not casually attack ordinary civilians, and for the sake of preserving their reputation, they were also obligated to protect them.
As a result, righteous sects such as the Qingyun Sect enjoyed a very high standing in the hearts of the common people.
Although Lu Xueqi felt somewhat regretful after learning that Shanhai Garden had been destroyed, she did not dwell on it any longer. (For an exhilarating reading experience, visit!)
The culprit who had destroyed Shanhai Garden had already been eliminated by her. In a sense, she had avenged Shanhai Garden.
Finally, after searching for a while, Lu Xueqi and Xiao Yicai found a fairly magnificent inn and checked in.
It was already late, and Lu Xueqi had no intention of immediately setting out to eliminate the Blood Demon.
Meanwhile, within a forest on the road leading to Heyang City, a young man dressed in black was holding a gigantic banner that emitted dense black aura. With an indifferent expression, he muttered,
“Soon... my Hundred Thousand Souls Banner will finally be complete.”
He then looked at the enormous black banner in his hand, excitement flashing through his eyes.
He had never expected that after he and his fellow disciples were struck by that strange storm, they would be swept directly into this continent.
Although this continent was quite vast, it was completely incomparable to the continent where they had originally lived.
However, this continent possessed one advantage that their previous continent did not.
There were no truly powerful cultivators here.
