Chapter 81 Entering the Ruins
Southern Spirit Sect.
Elder Fang and Elder Bai, who remained at the sect, discussed the matter together.
"This discovery of the ruins is a rare opportunity, but is it really okay to just let Lan Yue out like this?"
"After all, she possesses a celestial artifact and is accompanied by an ancient spiritual sword, making her stand out from the crowd. If other sects find out, there might be problems."
Elder Bai was very worried.
Most importantly, Lan Yue's thoughts will resonate within a certain range. Since the people from the Northern Ridge Holy Land have gone there, they will definitely hear what this guy is really thinking.
If Lan Yue reveals something truly terrible, he fears none of the little ones will be able to return.
Not only that, there's also Yunxi's background...
"Lan Yue possesses a celestial artifact, which is indeed amazing, but we can't keep her trapped in the Southern Spirit Sect forever, can we?" Elder Fang sighed as well.
As the one being watched, he naturally felt deeply about it, but he couldn't just be the bad guy and encourage the sect to lock Lan Yue up, could he?
"As her cultivation level increases, more and more people will inevitably be included in this group. Even if we try our best to hide, it will be useless unless we reduce her to a mortal and prevent her from making any further progress. In that case, what difference would there be between the Southern Spirit Sect and those evil demons?"
"Our cultivation sect acts with integrity and would never do such evil things." Elder Bai shook his head instantly.
"Then let her go out and train as usual. It was bound to happen sooner or later anyway," Elder Fang sighed.
However, Elder Fang soon smiled again: "It's time for her to suffer a beating from other sects."
Elder Bai on the other side: "..."
It seems Elder Fang still vividly remembers what happened before.
"By the way, didn't Elder Duanmu say that Elder Lu had returned? Where did Elder Lu go again?" Elder Bai asked curiously.
Could it be that he ran back to the Crimson Moon Sect and shamelessly became the Crimson Moon Sect Master's son-in-law?
Thinking of this, Elder Fang was even more at a loss for words. He stammered, "Maybe."
…
Jue Ling Island.
Surrounded in the very center, the elders who had been meditating stood up and led a group of people to the very edge of the island.
Beyond the island lies a vast expanse of azure sea. Some disciples, who had never seen the ocean before, gazed at the distant azure seagulls and exclaimed in amazement.
Even the disciples from the Northern Ridge Holy Land were very curious.
"Hey, do you all live on islands in the Southern Spirit Sect?" a disciple from the Northern Ridge Holy Land dressed in white asked quietly.
"How could that be? We live in the mountains, in the Nanling Mountains, which are a long time away from here."
Lan Yue kindly explained it to him.
"So it's just mountains." The disciples of the Northern Ridge Holy Land opposite were clearly disappointed.
"However, there are many streams in the mountains, and we often go to those streams to catch fish. Some of the fish in the secluded waters are very clever and easy to catch."
Lan Yue spoke quietly again.
"You can even catch fish inside the sect! Don't the senior brothers beat people up?" the little boy exclaimed incredulously.
"It's alright, our senior brothers and sisters and the elders are all very kind. They specially raised spirit fish for us to catch." Lan Yue smiled slyly.
The disciples of the Northern Ridge Holy Land on the opposite side were clearly attracted and awkwardly approached again.
"Can I go and catch it?"
"Sure, as long as you're willing to come to the Southern Spirit Sect, I'll treat you!" Lan Yue grinned.
Since it's not her fish, grab it hard!
"Xingzhou, what are you doing squeezing in here?" Elder Wan, who was opposite, suddenly turned around and said sternly, realizing something.
Yu Xue's adorable little radish head froze instantly and left without looking back.
As he left, he straightened his chest, held his head high with pride, and acted as if he didn't care about anything.
"Yunxi, do you know who this is?" Lanyue asked Yunxi quietly.
Yunxi looked at the little guy for quite a while before she could find information about him from the news she had already heard.
"He must be the prospective Holy Son of the Northern Ridge Holy Land? It is said that there is a place in the Northern Ridge Holy Land that is dedicated to cultivating future Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. Only the one who ultimately wins can become the leader of the Northern Ridge Holy Land."
Of course, the reason Yunxi could remember it so clearly was because Yun Chong, who was extremely jealous, kept nagging her before he left, afraid that she would be kidnapped by the people from the Northern Ridge Holy Land if she wasn't careful.
Yunxi can still recall what her father said.
"Xiao Xi, don't be fooled by the fact that the Northern Ridge Holy Land is the number one power in the Northern Region. This place is actually very cruel. On the surface, they only have one Holy Son, but in reality, they have already raised many children of similar age and bloodline before that. Only the one who wins in the end can graduate."
"They want you to go, but you must refuse. We won't fight so many people. Here, all the senior uncles of the Southern Spirit Sect will protect you. But if you encounter danger in the Northern Ridge Holy Land, even your father won't be able to save you…"
She said many similar things, and Yunxi felt like she had almost memorized them all.
"Then this group of people is…" Lan Yue didn't finish her sentence, but Yun Xi already understood what she meant.
"That should be true." Yunxi nodded.
After listening to their conversation, the little yellow fur ball on my shoulder opened its eyes, looking thoughtful.
While they were talking, the elders had already opened a passage in the seawater.
The azure seawater looked as if a hole had been drilled in, creating a long "tunnel".
"These are teleportation jade tokens. Be sure to bring them with you. If you encounter an insurmountable crisis, just crush the jade token. Don't be greedy!"
The second elder, who was in charge, gave each person a white jade tablet, on which their names were engraved.
"The ruins have emerged prematurely. Once the passage is opened, it will be out of control for a short period of time. You can only get out through the teleportation jade tablet. This is your only chance to get out. Do you understand?"
The Second Elder looked at the group of children in front of him and couldn't help but give them another word of advice.
"Alright, you can go now." He waved his hand gently, and the group was sent into the seawater channel.
Ripples spread out one after another, and the huge and deep passage slowly disappeared, with all the disciples vanishing without a trace.
"Where is Yun Li?" The Second Elder sent the others inside and suddenly realized that his disciple was gone.
Even the other elders were incredulous. They had just seen Yun Li standing behind them, how could he have disappeared in an instant?
"That little girl in the pink dress? Wasn't she sent into the ruins by you?" Elder Wan asked with a strange expression.
They seemed confused as to why these people, who had personally sent the person in, were now asking questions here.
"So I sent him in. It's strange that Yun Li never told me he was going into the ruins. Why did he suddenly change his mind?" The Second Elder didn't think much of it.
He and the other elders, including the Fifth Elder, had been guarding the ruins and clearing obstacles for the disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect, so they had no idea what was going on in the sect.
Only Elder Duanmu and a few other elders who came with the spirit boat seemed to realize something, and their expressions changed.
