Chapter 111 Lan Yue, who was fooled
[Lan Yue: Wait, at least let me finish eating this melon!]
Lan Yue was just about to indulge in some gossip when she found out about Elder Wan.
Who knew that the Second Elder and Fifth Elder were so anxious that they immediately dragged her back.
Lan Yue sat on the elder's longsword, enjoying the cool breeze, and soon left Jue Ling Island.
In contrast, the Fifth Elder explained it this way: "Lan Yue, the other sects have already seen that you have obtained the important ancient spiritual artifact. We have to run away quickly!"
"If you run too slowly, those people might ask to examine your magical artifact. Do you want someone else to get your hands on the magical artifact you worked so hard to obtain?"
"You can't even imagine how ruthless some people in the cultivation world are. Some people are so ruthless that they even kill their own blood relatives, let alone people like us who are completely unrelated to them."
"Do you want to be murdered and robbed?" The Fifth Elder asked sternly.
Lan Yue shook her head instinctively. Who wants to be murdered and robbed of their treasure?
"That's right, let's hurry back to the sect!" The Fifth Elder sped up again, disappearing in no time like a rocket.
"Fifth Elder, is that Elder Wan chasing after us?" Lan Yue looked back and suddenly saw a white figure.
"Lan Yue, you're absolutely mistaken. Elder Wan has many disciples of the Northern Ridge Holy Sons who need his care. How could he possibly come here?" the Fifth Elder said without hesitation.
"And if it really is Elder Wan, you'd better wait and see, he might be trying to kill you and steal your treasure!"
Hearing the Fifth Elder's words, Lan Yue shuddered.
Yes, why did Elder Wan from the Northern Ridge Holy Land chase after them? Perhaps he coveted the ancient magical artifacts they possessed and planned to kill and rob them!
Fortunately, the Fifth Elder helped her run away quickly, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!
As expected, the sect has thought of everything very thoroughly!
Not long after, she arrived at Lingyue Peak and met Yunxi, who was standing opposite her.
"I didn't expect to be back at the sect so soon." Lan Yue said in a daze.
She felt like she was in the ruins one second and had arrived at the sect the next.
"The elders are worried about our safety." Yunxi smiled helplessly.
…
On the other side, at the exit of the ruins.
With Lan Yue and Yun Xi and those guys being sent away, all the elders of the Southern Spirit Sect breathed a sigh of relief.
"Interesting, absolutely fascinating." The Crimson Moon Sect Master's eyes also lit up.
She felt there must be some gossip she hadn't heard about.
Otherwise, why weren't the elders of the Southern Spirit Sect so anxious when the daughter of the Northern Ridge Holy Land was mentioned?
What a pity, she should have gone to the Southern Spirit Sect to watch the drama unfold earlier!
The sect leader of Yaoguang, standing to the side, looked bewildered, still wondering what had happened.
"Come on, come on, let's go eat some melon seeds. You must hold it in and don't laugh out loud." The Crimson Moon Sect Master pulled the Yao Guang Sect Master along and led the group of disciples behind her away quickly.
Elder Wan had just run off to chase after the people, and now only the disciples of the Northern Ridge Holy Land and the remaining elder of the Northern Ridge Holy Land were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Xingzhou, did you hear that? The Holy Son's daughter has been found." Nangong Ye held a bone fan in his hand, revealing an enigmatic smile.
"If this is true, then the next Holy Maiden is a foregone conclusion."
"Isn't that great? The Holy Son won't have to travel all over the country searching for his daughter anymore." Baili Xingzhou's expression remained unchanged; in fact, he seemed somewhat relaxed.
"Are you really stupid, or are you just pretending?" Nangong Ye snorted coldly and strode away.
Baili Xingzhou ignored him and instead pondered the reactions of the people from the Southern Spirit Sect.
Why are the people of the Southern Spirit Sect so nervous about the Holy Son's daughter being found? Or is it that the Holy Son's daughter is actually in the Southern Spirit Sect, and among those people?
Several figures flashed through Baili Xingzhou's mind as he pondered something.
"Xingzhou, what should we do next?" another elder came over and asked.
He was actually just a guest elder of the Northern Ridge Holy Land, receiving a salary but not really managing affairs. Elder Wan had been handling things before, so he had no idea how to deal with this matter.
"Elder Sun, please take the others back and report this matter truthfully to the Holy Land. I'll go and find out what's going on, and also go see Elder Wan," Baili Xingzhou said softly.
"But it's not safe for you to go alone. What if something happens…" The guest elder was clearly hesitant.
Although he was only a guest elder, he was still under the jurisdiction of the court.
If someone of Baili Xingzhou's importance gets into trouble, the Holy Land will definitely not let him off the hook.
"It's alright. I actually have an elder guarding me, but none of you can tell. He will help me if I encounter any danger."
As Baili Xingzhou spoke, he quickly disappeared.
Elder Sun had no choice but to leave with the others.
…
Here, inside Lingyue Peak.
The elders had gathered together and were asking them what had happened inside the ruins.
They couldn't ask before, but now that they've returned to the Southern Spirit Sect, they're no longer afraid.
The other senior students recounted what had happened to them.
"I only made it to the fourth floor, and then I couldn't go any further. Those formations were too profound. Many formations were only half-formed, and even the strokes were different. There was no way to make sense of them."
Qingzhu sounded somewhat regretful.
She felt that many of those formations were ancient and lost, which would be very helpful for learning formations today.
However, she was powerless to do anything about it, because some of the formations were beyond her comprehension.
Lin Nian, on the other side, said embarrassedly, "At first, I entered a medicinal garden. This medicinal garden contained many precious ancient spiritual herbs. At the time, we all thought that this inheritance was testing our character."
"Who knew that in the end it was Junior Sister Yun who saw through the hidden information, weeded and removed pests from the medicinal herbs in the herb garden, and even helped us."
Everyone else recounted what they had encountered, and most of them had encountered ancient formations and ancient elixir formulas to varying degrees.
Some people were lucky enough to receive the reward of an ancient elixir, which made others very envious.
After these people finished sorting through everything, they looked in the direction where Lan Yue and the others were.
Lan Yue, Yun Xi, and the others quickly recounted their experiences selectively.
She and Yunxi were very tacit and did not reveal that the two seniors had given them the empowerment.
"The Central Holy Land," the Second Elder said with emotion.
"I never expected that part of our heritage is a remnant of the Central Holy Land. No wonder the people from the Northern Ridge Holy Land offered such important conditions to come here."
"The Northern Ridge Holy Land claims to be descendants of the Central Holy Land, but we never expected that such an important legacy would be passed down here." The Fifth Elder also smiled.
This is absolutely brilliant!
Before long, everyone else showed expressions of envy, but they also knew how difficult it was to pass on those inheritances.
The two junior sisters obtained this through their own abilities; it is the senior brothers and sisters who should feel ashamed.
"Did Senior Yanlong say when the ruins will reopen?" the Second Elder asked, leading a few children along the way.
"They didn't say, but it will take at least three or four years, as it still has injuries that haven't healed."
Lan Yue guessed.
"Lan Yue, Yun Xi, could you sell the inheritance you possess to the sect?" the Fifth Elder, who was following behind them, asked apologetically.
"Of course, it doesn't mean giving all your things to the sect, but rather having the sect make a copy so that more people can learn those inheritances."
"That's easy to say, but as you know, some formations are incomplete. I was only brought to the ninth floor by chance. I don't really know what formations are on the sixth floor and above."
Lan Yue was originally worried about how to restore the remaining formations.
Now we've got some hard labor to do!
"Rest assured, the restoration of these formations and pill formulas will certainly not be the responsibility of you children. We will gather the strength of the entire sect." The Second Elder said solemnly.
"If the Southern Spirit Sect cannot solve this, then we should invite array masters from the four regions to study these arrays together."
"Before a great calamity strikes, the entire human race should unite. I think the predecessors of the Central Holy Land thought the same way, which is why they created the nine-story array tower that gathers countless array diagrams."
"Okay, it's a deal!" Lan Yue was in a great mood; she no longer had to owe the system so many points!
Yunxi, who was standing next to her, also handed over the pill formulas that were only half complete.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"By the way, Second Elder, Fifth Elder, we've been training in the ruins for so long, shouldn't we take a break?"
Lan Yue originally intended to leave, but suddenly remembered this important matter and quickly asked.
If she has to train again after returning to the Southern Spirit Sect, wouldn't that be too miserable?
"You should all rest. Even if you want special training, we elders don't have time yet."
The Second Elder waved his hand.
"That's great!" Lan Yue exclaimed excitedly, clenching her fist.
[Lan Yue: I can finally enjoy the gossip without restraint!]
All the elders stopped in their tracks: "!!!!"
