Chapter 139 The Elders Are Never Absent
Although the Qing Shi Sect was sealed off, only the sect buildings and the surrounding territory were sealed off.
If they want to carry out activities internally, there shouldn't be any major problems.
At this moment, the Qing Shi Sect is very busy. Some people, including the sect leader, are trying to awaken the disciples who have been parasitized.
However, how could those parasitized by the demons be awakened so easily? Some were even nearly bewitched by the demons and lost their lives on the spot.
For this reason, the elders guarding the Southern Spirit Sect deliberately kept a distance to prevent them from getting too close.
"You don't need to be afraid. The Southern Spirit Sect has already sealed the demons inside them using special methods. All you need to do is try to awaken these close relatives."
"This is one method. If those people cannot be awakened on the spot, they can only wait for us to come out and deal with the parasitic monsters earlier."
"However, by the time the research is fully completed, those monsters may have already become one with their bodies. Try your best."
The elder sighed.
"We are deeply grateful to the Southern Spirit Sect for their assistance." The woman in the light green dress beside her slightly curtsied.
"However, I have a question. If we are unable to awaken these people, will the people of our Qing Shi Sect also be unable to leave?"
The woman looked worried.
"My Daoist partner is still outside the sect, and I'm a little worried about his safety."
"Ling'er!" A coughing sound came from behind.
A tall man with a sickly appearance slowly walked over.
The other Qing Shi Sect disciples present bowed their heads upon seeing him, "Sect Master!"
"Ling'er, during this critical period for the Qing Shi Sect, that person hasn't returned yet. He may have already forgotten about you!"
"Never mention this person again! If you do, I will disown you as my daughter!"
The woman was pale and looked like she was about to collapse. In the end, she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Even the Nanling Sect disciples who came to help felt a little sorry for him.
During their time at the Qing Shi Sect, they gradually uncovered some information.
The sect leader of the Qing Shi Sect seems to have been injured in his early years, falling directly from the Nascent Soul stage to the Golden Core stage. No matter how much he cultivates now, he can only stay at the peak of the Golden Core stage.
He has a daughter, whom he dotes on.
As it turned out, the daughter fell for a swindler who stole the sect's treasures, and became deeply entangled in the relationship, still thinking about that man to this day.
The group exchanged glances, each seeing the gossip in the other's mind, thinking that if Lan Yue were here, she would definitely be able to get some fresh juicy gossip.
"That depends on Elder Duanmu's situation. He has already reported the matter to the sect, and the sect will send more people to resolve the issue."
The elder explained.
Although he felt pity for the woman in front of him, he also knew that he was on a mission and could not let anyone out.
So he still refused to drink any water and remained serious.
Just as these people were talking, two more people flew over from not far away. These two people were Lan Yue and the Sixth Elder.
However, they arrived concealed themselves and did not attract much attention; even the sect leader at the head of the group was unaware of their presence.
Instead, the woman who spat out a mouthful of blood glanced in their direction subtly.
The Sixth Elder naturally didn't notice the gazes of those people. After bringing Lan Yue here, he concealed himself.
Outside the gate, several disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect were talking. They were discussing the daughter of the Qing Shi Sect Master and the heartless man who had run off with the money.
"I never imagined that the daughter of the Qing Shi Sect Master would suffer so much. She's still thinking about that man even now," a senior brother remarked with emotion.
"If I were the daughter of the Qing Shi Sect Master, I would definitely grab a knife and chop that person down in one stroke. What kind of thing is that, managing to steal so many spirit stones!"
The senior female student looked resentful.
Lan Yue had met all of these senior brothers and sisters at the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
So when I saw them, I felt very close to them, and I even sat down next to them.
"Senior sister, are you talking about that person named Ling'er?" Lan Yue asked quietly.
Several senior students were engrossed in a discussion when suddenly an unfamiliar voice interrupted them, startling them so much that their hearts stopped beating.
When the senior brothers and sisters saw Lan Yue's figure, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little Lanyue, it's you! Your sudden appearance almost scared us to death. We thought you were a monster."
"Little Lanyue, this place is extremely dangerous. Why did the elders let you out?"
They all frowned.
Although they had been staying in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, they knew how closely the elders kept an eye on Lan Yue.
This was the first time the little guy came in to get the spirit sword, and a group of elders were all squatting silently beside him.
Now that this guy has come all the way to the dangerous Qing Shi Sect, how could the other elders not follow him?
These senior brothers and sisters seemed to realize something.
They looked up abruptly and saw two identical white clouds floating in the azure sky.
If it's just one white cloud, that's easy to explain, but two identical white clouds definitely indicate a problem.
Moreover, behind the boulder not far away, there seemed to be a familiar hem of clothing and a round gourd of wine hidden.
Upon seeing the gourd they used for making wine, they suddenly realized what it was.
No wonder they let Xiao Lanyue come here alone; they were all hiding in the shadows.
They always say that wherever Xiao Lanyue is, the elders will never be absent!
"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened to Ling'er?" Lan Yue blinked, her dark eyes full of curiosity.
After hearing the explanations from her senior brothers and sisters, Lan Yue cupped her face in her hands, feeling that something was amiss.
Over there, the woman in the light green dress was already swaying precariously.
The way people looked at her was one of pity.
"Father, I won't mention him anymore. I'm also very familiar with these junior brothers in front of me. Let me try to awaken them as well. It's very painful to see them like walking corpses."
She walked over slowly.
"That's right. Since you are my daughter, you should think about the future of the Qing Shi Sect." The Qing Shi Sect Master was very satisfied.
Outside the gates of the Qing Shi Sect, Lan Yue finally remembered something.
[Lan Yue: I was wondering why Ling'er sounded so familiar. Isn't she the second wife of that spy?]
[How come the stories these people are spreading, even the ones my senior brothers and sisters and elders have seen, are different from the versions I'm just following along?]
[I almost thought I'd stumbled upon some fresh gossip and could get something for free, but I got excited for nothing.]
Upon hearing this thought, all the members of the Azure Stone Sect froze.
