Lady Su’s Revenge

“I promise you.”

Fang Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, finally said, “We come from various holy sects, and the records of Tianjiao Battle are similar. Since you want to know the whole thing, we will tell you all.”

It seemed…that this woman was not from holy sects.

Ling Mo came up with that in a moment, and then relaxed.

Since she was not from holy sects, she was unlikely their enemy. Besides… which enemy would let such an excellent practitioner be a spy? If she were the lord of one of holy sects, the people like her should hide instantly. How could she let her expose in advance?

“That’s so good.”

Su Li squinted and chuckled.

After the banquet, following the manservant, Su Li checked in at Qingshui Court, a quality residence under the Linli Building’s industry.

The name of the court had just been changed. It was originally unoccupied. Real estate in Juecheng City was rare, but it was not rare in Linli Building.

Su Li followed the manservant to walk around the yard. The yard was not big, but it had all needed equipment and facilities, and also was cleaned meticulously. The low-grade spiritual wood floor was so bright that it was like a mirror.

Walking into the middle of the hall, Su Li was slightly satisfied with the elegant layout. She sat down on the soft bed and said softly, “You can leave now.”

“Okay.”

The manservant hurriedly bowed and left. Only Su Li was left in the house. With a wave of her hand, eight jade slips of different sizes appeared in the air.

These were the jade slips of Tianjiao Battle given by Fang Yuan and the others.

What was the difference between the Tianjiao Battle recorded by various holy sects?

She believed that no one had tried to gather the records of many holy sects together before. This was the unique advantage of Linli Building.

Taking a jade slip at hand, Su Li put her divine awareness in it.

After a while, the jade slips burned into ashes one after another, Su Li slowly closed her eyes, and then a lot of information was integrated in her head.

Not long after, Su Li opened her eyes suddenly with a mysterious look.

There were indeed differences in the records of holy sects. Fang Yuan was born in the top holy sect, and his information should be the most complete, but in the details, there would also be differences from other holy sects.

However, no matter how different they were, the same person was mentioned in them.

Great Emperor Lihen.

Su Li eyes narrowed her eyes slightly. It was not the first time that she had heard that, but she only knew about this great emperor’s name before. It turned out that Qingshui Circle changed its calendar because he was born when anomalies were happening, and he was…the first great emperor since the ages!

“Great Emperor Lihen had two treasures, the Lihen Sword and the Lihen Tablet, both of which were cherished by him. After he died, these two treasures were not left, but disappeared. Why?”

Su Li glanced over the message left by Fang Yuan in her mind.

The most indispensable thing in this cultivation circle was mystery.

“The history of the Tianjiao List is longer than that of the Great Emperor Lihen. Even Black Lotus does not know who left the Tianjiao List, but this person caught the luck of natural law. It was assigned to talents based on the ranking of the Tianjiao List to avoid dying young… It sounds like during the All Spirits Calendar, a treasure was left by a powerful sect to train its disciples, which was able to snatch luck from natural law…”

The chuckle echoed in the room.

“Interesting.”

Time passed unconsciously, and more than a month passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past month, Su Li spent most of her time wandering around in Linli Building, and helped out when she encountered injustices. So, she won the favor of many disciples in Linli Building. Ling Mo and the others also got closer to her.

“Qingshui, time is almost up.”

On this day, Ling Mo found Su Li with a serious tone, “We need to save time for meeting with the members outside.”

Su Li nodded lightly. She glanced at the clothes of Linli Building she was wearing, and said, “I’ll change my clothes. During this time, you summon the disciples to go.”

Ling Mo responded with a flash of worry in his eyes.

Shengxian Mountain was a place where all the holy sects of the entire Qingshui Circle gathered. If Qingshui’s identity were exposed, the consequences would…be unthinkable.

Then Su Li returned to the residence. When she just put on the original Heavy Soul Robe and veil, Su Buwang broke in.

“Sister!”

Su Li gently looked at him and said with a teasing tone, “Our Young Lord is here. It’s my honor to meet you.”

“Oh, Sister! Now you are still joking.”

Su Buwang’s face turned red faintly, “Are you leaving now? To Shengxian Mountain?”

Su Li nodded slightly, “It’s less than half a month since the Tianjiao Battle started. It’s time to go.”

“Sister…”

Su Buwang looked worried. Even though his sister’s cultivation base was extremely high, there…were numerous strong practitioners, and they were all enemies to Linli Building. She couldn’t deal with so many people. This was…extremely dangerous!

“Relax, stupid boy.”

Su Li approached him and lowered her head to straighten Su Buwang’s untidy collar. “I definitely know what kind of place Shengxian Mountain is. Since it is covered by natural law, the divination skill won’t work. As long as I hide my power, nothing can hurt me. You don’t have to worry.”

Su Buwang replied sullenly, and hesitated for a moment. Then he took off the Yang jade-bone mask from his arm and placed it in Su Li’s palm.

“Sister, this thing can blend into your face to change your appearance. No matter how advanced pupil skills they have, you won’t be exposed. Only you take this can I rest assured.”

Su Li was taken aback and looked at the familiar but unfamiliar Yang jade-bone mask in her hand. She was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed with faint light in her eyes.

“Okay, I’ll take it.”

Fang Yuan sat beside a table in the front hall of Linli building. Ling Mo stood in front of the elite disciples wearing various kinds of casual practitioner robes. Each of the twelve disciples had their own unique and strong pneuma.

“You are all the best that I have carefully selected! It must be an inevitably hard to fight in Shengxian Mountain this time, but you must go all out!”

Ling Mo’s words filled the room.

The young practitioner with a dark complexion and a handsome face at the forefront stood tall and confident, and said loudly, “We’ll…live up to Lord Zui!”

“We’ll live up to Lord Zui!”

“We’ll live up to Lord Zui!”

Everybody shouted together. Ling Mo nodded in relief. The elites he had cultivated so hard finally had their uses.

“Lord Zui, I am puzzled about something. I don’t know if I should ask or not.”

The young practitioner suddenly said with a tone neither humble nor overbearing, “The Tianjiao Battle is a grand event in Qingshui Circle once in a thousand years. We should definitely treat it seriously. But why don’t you let Lord Fang Cun, who is extremely powerful and destroyed the Blood World, take up the battle, instead of Lord Qingshui, who joined recently?”

“How dare you say that!”

Ling Mo frowned.

Jiang Run immediately took a step back and bowed his fist in salute, “Sorry for my presumptuousness and impertinence. I’m worried about Linli Building. Lord Qingshui is indeed a good person. Since she joined Linli Building, she has solved a lot of troubles for our disciples. We all admire her. But she has a gentle and kind temperament. If she fights with the practitioners of holy sects, it will be really…not suitable.”

Fang Yuan stopped drinking. Witnessing such a scene, he looked weird.

Was Qingshui…gentle and kind?

He admitted that Qingshui was kind-hearted to some degree, but how could she…be gentle?

Whether it was to destroy the Blood World or kill the ghosts in extreme desert of Yang, the methods were not gentle at all.

Ling Mo was even more speechless. The matter of destroying the Blood World was only known to a few people. He personally ordered the blockade of that. The Tianjiao List mattered. Naturally, the less people knew about Qingshui’s strength, the better it would be. But…these twelve fools dared to rebel?!

“How can you refute something decided by the top?!”

Ling Mo waved his sleeve, turned away, and said coldly, “If it were not for the time limit, you would be punished in the crack of Yang already.”

Hearing the word “crack of Yang”, Jiang Run’s neck shrank, but he still couldn’t reconcile to it.

“Practitioner Zui, don’t embarrass the young man. He is also concerned about Linli Building.”

Su Li took light steps, followed by Su Buwang, who looked reluctant.

When Jiang Run saw her, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his look, and everyone hurriedly saluted, “Nice to see Lord Qingshui and Young Lord.”

“Let’s dispense with formalities!”

Seeing that Su Li was not angry, Jiang Run sighed in relief, but the disappointment in his heart became heavier.

Lord Qingshui was so…gentle.

Su Li’s eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze swept across twelve young figures. Her lips moved slightly, and she transmitted the sound in silence, “They are all good disciples. If I take them to Shengxian Mountain, there will be a slim chance of surviving. Are you willing to watch them die?”

Ling Mo’s complexion was slightly dark, and he replied, “The rising road of Linli Building is bound to be paved with blood, and nobody can escape! But you… Do what your strength allows, and you must come back alive. Where there is life, there is hope.”

Regardless of the kindness that she destroyed the Blood World before, Qingshui was now the strongest person, a trump card in Linli building. They couldn’t afford to lose her.

“You can rest assured. I have my own measures.”

Su Li smiled slightly and walked in front of Fang Yuan. She picked up a glass of wine that was already full on the other side and sipped it. Then she smiled at Fang Yuan and said, “I won’t drink before leaving. When I come back, I will invite you to drink.”

Fang Yuan was stunned, and the seriousness in his eyes faded immediately. Rarely, he said seriously, “See you here!”

Su Li’ s eyes flashed. Then she clinked glasses with Fang Yuan.

“See…you.”

After a while, Ling Mo led Su Li and the others into the ground of the Linli Building’s headquarters. After walking to the end, they saw a huge and complicated teleporting matrix.

Su Li said, “The ancient teleporting matrix.”

“You are really something.”

Ling Mo nodded, “Whether it is the extreme desert of Yang or the extreme swamp of Ying outside the Yin and Yang Region, the environment is too harsh. Only by using this teleporting matrix can I communicate with the outside world. However, it will cost astronomical celestial stone every time when it is used to teleport the practitioners. If not necessary, it should not be turned on.”

While speaking, Ling Mo had already walked to the front of the matrix. He put the last celestial stone in the groove, and with a roar, the entire teleporting matrix suddenly lit up.

Su Li’s expression was indifferent, and she stepped into it without saying a word.

Jiang Run swallowed his saliva and followed behind. Just like the other eleven people, he couldn’t hide his growing anticipation.

“Qingshui, the place behind this teleporting matrix is still a sect of Sword School. Someone will contact you there to arrange the next itinerary!”

“A sect of Sword School?”

Su Li nodded slightly, “I understand.”

Swish!

The light of the teleporting matrix was released, and it was turned on completely. After the light dissipated, there was no one in the matrix.

Under the dim light of spiritual stone lamp, half of Ling Mo’s face was partly hidden and partly visible.

“…I hope you are not my enemy.”
