Chapter 138 The reason is that he's too bad.
There is a lot of information on the gossip platform, but if you want to locate specific content, you still need to find specific people.
For example, if she wants to get scoops on the gossip about the senior brothers and sisters in front of her, she can click on the prompts next to their heads through the system panel.
If someone has a big secret, then the melon next to their head will be so big that it's impossible to ignore.
The fact that there were only a few small melons next to the senior brothers and sisters indicates that the matter was not very important, and that the points gained from eating melons would not be much.
If she wants to know what's going on with the Azure Stone Sect, she'll have to search for the people she's met.
She can't simply observe the gossip from afar when it comes to people she's never even met.
[Lan Yue: System, don't you think this function has some limitations? If I hear some shocking news from the Demon Realm or the Immortal Realm and want to sneak a peek, am I not allowed to?]
I didn't think much of it when I was just observing the drama in the sect, but now that I owe the system such a large number of points, I suddenly feel uneasy.
The gossip in the sect is always the same, over and over again. If she wants to gain points by gossiping, does she have to dig up the dark history of the Fifth Elder and Elder Duanmu?
Although the two elders were unaware of all this, she still felt embarrassed.
It makes her seem like a complete pervert, always fixated on other people's dark past.
[System: Don't worry, the reason you face so many restrictions when enjoying this gossip is because you're still too inexperienced; you're just a beginner gossip enthusiast.]
Lan Yue, who was just complaining, was now thinking: "???"
[System: Have you forgotten the tag after your name? You're just a novice bystander!]
Not to mention Lan Yue, even the group of people next to her looked over in shock, their gazes were rather subtle and went unnoticed.
Especially the elders who were hiding in the shadows, who were concealed above the clouds, almost fell off when they heard the system's explanation.
They had all witnessed the power of Lan Yue's gossip-loving ways during this period.
Once you catch someone, you can dig up their dark history in no time, and it's continuous.
Take, for example, the Fifth Elder and the White-Browed Elder; these two elders were exposed in a truly horrific way.
Elder Bai Mei has not even been able to return to the Nanling Sect to this day.
Moreover, because Lan Yue had been observing the situation closely, she even uncovered many of the Demon Clan's conspiracies.
For example, there's the situation at the Qing Shi Sect, and the demonic arts that the demons want to infiltrate the cultivation world.
Needless to say, the others were also involved, because Lan Yue was very shrewd and even left behind a demon beforehand so that these people from the cultivation world could study the demonic tools used to conceal the demon's aura.
In the end, Lan Yue, who had been following all the gossip, turned out to be just a novice gossip-watcher?
If this guy were to level up to intermediate-level spectator, and then advanced-level spectator, wouldn't he be able to handle anything in the world with ease?
Omniscient and omnipotent, nothing that happens within the Three Realms can escape Lan Yue's eyes?
Upon realizing this, all the elders gasped in shock.
They were extremely grateful at that moment, grateful that Xiao Lanyue had been brought to the Southern Spirit Sect by Guangji, and grateful that the immortal artifact was also willing to choose the cultivation world.
If the demon race obtains such a powerful immortal artifact, their cultivation world will be completely doomed!
The elders above the clouds exchanged glances, and they all saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
It seems that the protection for Xiao Lanyue needs to be raised to another level.
Not only the elders and senior brothers and sisters, but Lan Yue was also very shocked.
What? She's still just a newbie?
Does that mean that if she upgrades from a novice gossip observer to a more seasoned one, she can get access to even more juicy gossip?
[System: You can level up by accumulating enough points to become a mid-level or high-level spectator. However, you currently owe nearly 20,000 points, so you are unaware of this.]
[No, you now owe 27,000 points. Congratulations on achieving the "the more you owe, the more you gain" achievement.]
Before leaving, Lan Yue borrowed two thousand points from the system on credit to prepare for any unforeseen events.
After all, the Azure Stone Sect is a crucial point in the plot, and her senior brothers and sisters might all be involved.
How could Lan Yue possibly allow those demons to cause trouble?
So when Lan Yue heard the system's reminder, she felt a little embarrassed.
The points came like a gust of wind; she couldn't resist!
[Lan Yue: Ahem, System, let's not talk about that now. The most important thing is the Azure Stone Sect. I need to investigate it thoroughly.]
Before indulging in the melon seeds, Lan Yue distributed the tasks of setting up the formation.
Ever since she pleaded with Elder Duanmu, she has been setting up the core array plate of the formation.
She obtained this formation from the memories of the master of the nine-story tower, and what's amazing is that she didn't need to learn it over and over again to know it by heart, as if she had already set it up time and time again.
So the initiation technique in ancient times was really powerful!
Unfortunately, due to the use of this empowerment technique, neither the master of the nine-story array tower nor the alchemist was able to survive.
Now that she's here, she tells Elder Duanmu about all the arrangements and asks him to lead people to complete them, while she stays behind to browse the gossip system.
Lan Yue thought about it carefully. She had indeed been following the gossip from the Qing Shi Sect before. But who was the person following the gossip back then?
The title at the time was something like "Cultivation Spy Game"?
She remembered—it was that undercover elder from the Southern Spirit Sect!
Lan Yue immediately started looking up all the gossip she had heard before, and after scrolling through a long list, she finally found the story of Elder Xing Hao from back then.
[Lan Yue: Although Elder Xing Hao has been involved with three different sects, he also served in the Qing Shi Sect. He should be able to provide some information, right?]
As soon as Lan Yue voiced her thoughts, the other elders seemed to be deep in thought.
"Elder Xing seems to still be imprisoned in the back mountain of the Southern Spirit Sect. He probably won't have a chance to see the Demon Clan, and I'm afraid Lan Yue won't be able to find any information about him." The Sixth Elder shook his head slightly.
The other elders also frowned slightly. It seemed that they still had to bring Lan Yue into the Qing Shi Sect so that she could meet those people and perhaps obtain some clues.
Just as Lan Yue was about to watch the drama unfold, the Sixth Elder grabbed her and quickly flew her into the sealing formation.
After they entered the sealing formation, it was as if they were passing through a transparent green light shield, with light shining faintly in the air.
This should be the outermost edge of the formation.
"Is this a demon-sealing formation?" Lan Yue felt a little unfamiliar with it, but after carefully recalling her memories of learning it, she finally remembered that this was a demon-sealing formation passed down from ancient times.
However, she possessed the memories of the master of the nine-story tower and had a more complex array in her mind, so she naturally found the current array unfamiliar.
"Little Lanyue, you're quite impressive. You recognized the name of the formation so quickly." The Sixth Elder laughed heartily.
"This is an array set up by Elder Duanmu. It can stop demons below the level of Demon General. Only with this array did he dare to temporarily leave the territory of the Qing Shi Sect."
Lan Yue nodded. The array in her mind was even more complex, seemingly capable of stopping even the demon generals of the Demon Realm.
When we get back, we must draw this formation for Elder Duanmu and have him draw it a hundred times!
No, a hundred times won't do, I have to draw it a thousand times!
She finally found a legitimate opportunity for revenge!
Outside the demon-sealing formation, Elder Duanmu sneezed. He had a feeling that someone was eyeing him and plotting to kill him.
