The mountain range was sliced apart by my sword, and the remaining power even broke the defense of my eighteen forms of the Coiling Dragon Saber Technique.

Although the mountain peak formed by the vitality diagram was inferior to a real mountain, it was still very similar. Furthermore, there were a lot of them. To think that they would be destroyed by a single sword strike. This was truly out of my expectations.

That Nie Kuang can also be considered a man. Seeing that I have survived his attack, he immediately admitted defeat and left. I wonder how someone like him can owe a favor to a despicable person like Yin Tianhen.

After returning to the Thousand Illusionary Sect, only Yue Qingsi and Ouyang Yuan were waiting for me. Yue Qingsi's eyes were filled with joy as she threw herself at me, almost crying out loud. It looked like I was extremely worried, but before she could say anything, a green woman ran over and whispered into her ear.

Yin Tianheng's face was ashen. He gnashed his teeth in anger as his entire body trembled. However, I guess half of his anger came from me and it was because of Nie Kuang. Nie Kuang was invited over by him and he thought that victory was already in his grasp. However, right now, not only did he waste a precious favor, he even ended up in failure. This indeed made him quite angry. Now that the conclusion had been reached, there was no need for him to stay any longer. Ouyang Yuan left without a word.

"Congratulations on your victory. This old one knows that this person is not an ordinary person."

"Many thanks to Elder Ouyang. However, although I have won this time, it goes against Elder Yuan's wishes. I wonder how Elder Yuan will treat me?"

"Hahahaha, I am truly worried. Although Junior Sister Yuan's temper is quite explosive, she is still a reasonable person. This is a fair duel after all. Even if she was unwilling, she wouldn't complain to me."

"En, this is for the best!"

Yuan Ziyu is Yue Qingsi's master, if she really wants to harm me, with her kindness towards me, it would be difficult for me to make a move against her. I just hope that she knows her own limitations and can behave herself.

"That's right, even though I have won this time, it can be considered that I was extremely lucky. It is not only because that person was lenient, but also because without Elder Luo's life force diagram, it would be difficult for me to return safely."

"Oh?" With a slightly surprised tone, Ouyang Yuan asked, "How many of Sister Luo's life force diagrams have you obtained?"

"It's only one, and it's already wasted."

"Ai!" Ouyang Yuan let out a long sigh. "If I had one, I would have studied it thoroughly. Back then, I had indeed seen Sister Luo use it before, and it was really amazing. I've tried several times but to no avail. I never thought that Jushi would have already acquired two."

Hearing this, my heart suddenly skipped a beat and I asked: "Elder Ouyang, was it your master who personally took Elder Luo as his disciple at that time?"

"Yes, back then I had been following Master for quite some time. Later, Master set a pass and those who could pass it were accepted as disciples. Junior Sister Yuan and Junior Sister Luo passed the trial one after another and naturally followed Master."

"Oh!" Then, are they brought here to be apprentices? "

With art?" Ouyang Yuan hesitated for a moment before she replied, "Sister Yuan did indeed have the skills to become a disciple, but she was just a mere Psionic Pellet Realm cultivator. Sister Luo was indeed just a child from a poor family. She was only 12 or 13 years old when she joined us.

Hearing this, I felt that it was even weirder and could not help but to ask curiously: "Then who taught Elder Luo this life force diagram?"

"No, Sister Luo's life force diagram was not taught by someone else, but something she figured out herself. Amongst the three of us, Junior Sister Luo is the most talented, and her perception is also the highest. Master has repeatedly revealed that he intends to let her inherit her legacy. "

There wasn't the slightest bit of jealousy in Ouyang Yuan's tone, and he was actually appreciating it even more. It was as if he were an elder treating an outstanding junior. This kind of attitude really puzzled me.

"Elder Ouyang, could it be that you don't have a trace of jealousy? "You are the head disciple of your master, and the head elder of the Thousand Illusionary Sect."

"Kekeke, so what if it's the Great Elder? As long as Master is satisfied, it will also be beneficial to the Thousand Illusionary Sect. Let alone Great Elder, even if this old one has to take my life, I won't hesitate to do so! "

"I admire Elder Ouyang's Loyalty Token. I really want to see what kind of person your master is to be able to obtain such respect from Elder Ouyang."

"I don't mind staying for a few more days. Perhaps I might actually be able to meet Master."

"No!" I shook my head. "I still have some matters to attend to. I will be leaving tomorrow morning."

"So fast?"

"Not fast, I've already delayed it for a few days. There are some things that should be done earlier, so I'm a bit more confident."

"This is definitely a big matter! This old one naturally will not obstruct you, so I wish you success! "

"Thank you!"

"Alright, I've already arrived at your residence. It looks like Junior Sister Luo would like to say goodbye to me, so I'll be leaving first."

"Take care, please!"

"Please!"

As soon as he entered, the faint aroma of tea filled the entire bamboo house. As expected, Luo Qing'er was waiting for him. When I asked Ouyang Yuan about Luo Qing'er, I wanted to confirm her identity. Although I didn't get the answer I wanted from him, it was more than enough.

My guess is that Luo Qing'er isn't as simple as she looks.

"Qing'er congratulates you on returning with such a great victory."

"Hehe, Elder Luo is too polite. If it wasn't for that life vitality diagram of Elder Luo, the White Fox Servant would have died in vain."

Hehehehe, Jushi is truly humorous. Qing'er doesn't believe that without that life force diagram, Jushi really wouldn't be able to block that move.

They were all waiting for the result in the Thousand Illusion School. However, based on Luo Qing'er's tone, she actually knows about the process of our battle, and it seems that she also knows about Nie Kuang's Moon Splitting Fist. It seems that she has already wanted to reveal something to me.

"Elder Luo is really secretive!"

"Qing'er doesn't understand what I mean!"

"Elder Luo, what have you come here to say?"

"Qing'er wanted to congratulate the Justices! Oh, if I, Qing'er, like it, am willing to offer you another life force diagram. "

He doesn't accept anything without success. The first life force diagram wants a favor from me, but if the second one wants a favor from me and it seems a bit forced, and I don't have anything on me that she can scheme against, then what is the reason for this?

"I …" I was about to say no, but then I thought about it. Since I couldn't see through Luo Qing'er, why not accept the painting and see what she was up to?

Luo Qing'er smiled and placed the second life force diagram in front of me. I waved my hand to accept it and said with a smile, "Elder Luo, what is the meaning of this second one?"

"I only asked after receiving it, does it seem a little excessive?"

"No, no, no. If Elder Luo is unwilling to say, then I will naturally not force you."

"Qing'er appreciates the character of this scholar. This second life force diagram is actually not that interesting. Perhaps one day, I will understand what Qing'er means today."

As expected, Luo Qing'er's painting isn't as simple as it seems. The meaning of the second painting must be something. However, if she isn't willing to tell me, then I will naturally be unable to find out within a short period of time.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Luo Qing'er left. I turned around and sat cross-legged on the bed as I thought back to what happened today.

What happened today seemed extremely simple. It was Yin Tianhen who invited Nie Kuang to battle me and Luo Qing'er to give him the painting as a congratulatory gift. But when he thought about it carefully, it was not like that at all.

Firstly, in my battle with Nie Kuang, he didn't use his full strength. Moreover, he said that he owed Yin Tianhen a favor.

Secondly, Yue Qingsi hurriedly left after whispering a few words to the green-clothed woman. Why did she leave without saying a word? Could something have happened to Yuan Ziyu?

Third, Luo Qing'er's painting gift this time is a bit strange. It seems like she wanted to explain something to me, but didn't expect me to know right away. It's as though she's guarding against someone. Qian Hezi of the Thousand Illusionary Sect?

These were all riddles. It looked like every sect was a pool of turbid water. It was impossible to know if there were any fish dragons inside or not without draining the water.

Deep in the night, Yue Qingsi came with a message. Qian Hezi came out of seclusion, and after injuring Yuan Ziyu with one palm, he sent out an order for me to see me. I frowned and immediately followed her to Yuan Ziyu's room.

Halfway there, Zhan Tian and the other three came to find me. Little Yu and Little Charmer perhaps had also heard the news and realized the seriousness of the situation. They followed closely behind me without saying a word. Naturally, I let Little Yu act as my eyes.

Arriving at Yuan Ziyu's residence, Yue Qing's eyes once again began to tear up. She tightly held the unconscious Yuan Ziyu's hand, her heart filled with anxiety.

Honestly speaking, Yuan Ziyu's face was currently pale. Even if she was unconscious, she was still tightly curled up inside her blanket. She no longer had her previous domineering attitude. Instead, she had a delicate look that made people feel tender affection for her. Actually, Yue Qingsi was very similar to her. They were both strong people on the outside and weak in the heart, and they both hid their weaknesses through their cold appearance and fiery temper.

"Why did Qian Hezi attack her?"

"I don't know either. When I first received this news, I was a little skeptical. However, when I saw that my master's face was pale and covered in blood, I was really afraid that she would leave me. I was really scared …"

I could understand the fear in her heart. The current Yuan Ziyu had made her think of her own younger sister, as well as her own pain. She didn't want the hidden pain to appear again, after all, she no longer had the strength and courage to bear it again.

"Didn't Qianhe want to see me? "Rest assured, I will ask for the reason. I will help you seek justice!"

I turned around and headed for the Snow Cloud Palace with a trace of hostility.
