Chapter 272 Being Fooled
Wen Tingshan looked at the confused people, and then he thought for a moment instead of explaining anything. Suddenly he was inspired and said, “Su Li, maybe it’s not as serious as you think. The Spiritual Realm never pays attention to worldly affairs, including the survival or destruction of forces in the spiritual circle. Most of followers of Wen Tinghe may use some special ways to stay in the Spiritual Realm.
“What do you mean?”
Su Li asked, though there was some suspicion in her mind.
Wen Tingshan couldn’t help but stand up and say, “It’s not too late. Let’s go there at once and talk about the details on the way!”
“I’ll go too!”
Fang Yuan stood up, staring at Su Li firmly.
Su Li blinked her eyes, and an idea came to her. She did not refuse him, but nodded, “Okay, let’s start right now!”
The three people were all seniors. Originally, the most rapid way was using foundation, but Su Li needed to save it. So, they took a carriage.
Although Wen Tingshan didn’t know what Su Li meant, he accepted and explained the reasons on the way.
“Wen Tinghe is my younger brother. Although he is my close relative, he is indifferent and narrow-minded. Naturally, he can’t compare with me in martial arts. Besides him, the warriors all over the Wanjian Sect should respect me!”
The first sentence of Wen Tingshan made Fang Yuan shocked. Only Wen Tingshan achieved the longevity realm in the Linli Building. Although Fang Yuan knew Wen Tingshan was powerful, the fact that Wen Tingshan was the top senior in the Wanjian Sect was still beyond his expectation.
Su Li was poker-faced and nodded, “Keep saying.”
In previous life, Wen Tingshan was the top senior in the spiritual circle, so she was not surprised at all.
Wen Tingshan glanced at Su Li in surprise. Although he was curious, it was not the time to focus on the details. When he recalled what happened over the years, he looked slightly gloomy and kept saying.
“Although the token for the head of the sect was lost, I have enough strength. Nobody was against the proposition that I would be the next head of the Wanjian Sect. Maybe because my younger brother had perceived that I still loved him, he took advantage of it without hesitation and made a trick to hurt me badly.”
At the moment, Wen Tingshan smiled slightly, but looked gloomy, “At that night, he colluded with outsiders. More than forty seniors in the first hurdle of the longevity realm were gathered to kill me! If I hadn’t reached from the first hurdle of the longevity realm to the second hurdle at the key point, I couldn’t have escaped at all!”
Surrounded by forty seniors in the longevity realm!
What a horror scene!
It was known that there wasn’t any senior of the longevity realm in Dahan Country, even in the martial arts circle!
Fang Yuan felt shocked, and even Su Li got a subtle change on her face.
In previous life, what she saw and heard was too superficial. She knew the longevity realm only after she met the legendary lady. But she didn’t know the division of its hierarchy. Obviously, it was not a good opportunity for her to ask now.
“That night I escaped in a hurry. This situation had lasted for several years. The wound was never healed; instead, it was worse. For that, I could only use less than ten percent of my strength. The situation had lasted for a long time until I met you, Su Li. Although you do not master too much wood starburst, it’s enough to heal the senior of the longevity realm! With your healing supplemented by the elixirs for six months, my wound had already been healed, and my strength had slightly improved.”
Su Li slightly raised her eyebrows. Wood starburst was the starburst which was called by Qi Xianqing. Although they called it differently, it was the same thing. The power could only be mastered by the senior of the longevity realm.
“Wen Tinghe probably never knows that there is a warrior of the inborn realm who is also an expert in healing in the secular world.” Wen Tingshan sneered, “They were just six people who were in the first hurdle of the longevity realm chasing to kill me. With my present strength, killing them is a piece of cake!”
“You have been staying in the Linli Building all the time. Even if you attacked them, they shouldn’t know you, because you had hidden your identity. How could they escape to the Spiritual Realm?”
When Su Li heard the words, her guess became clear and she asked sharply.
Wen Tingshan shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Although the Wanjian Sect specializes in swordsmanship, it still has practitioners who practice the heterodoxy. Wen Tinghe has a subordinate of the longevity realm who specializes in calculation. They could follow me like a shadow by the man’s skill, and I couldn’t get rid of them.”
“So, the man perceived danger after your wound was healed. So they escaped to the Spiritual Realm.”
Su Li suddenly realized that all the things were due to the divination skill.
The divination skill was exclusive to practitioners of the longevity realm who practiced calculation. With the skill, they not only could know the fortune and miss the misfortune, but also could hunt someone by the hair with his smell. In terms of tracking, it had a larger scope than the poisonous insect skill.
The Personal Poisonous Insect of Fang Yuan and Poisonous Man Hunting Insect just had a tracking scope of ten thousand li. However, the tracking of the longevity realm could be one hundred thousand li even one million li. It could be enlarged with the increased cultivation of a practitioner.
“You have reached the second hurdle and recovered, so they knew their fates. They escaped to the Spiritual Realm just to deceive themselves.”
Su Li smiled. Nobody knew the Spiritual Realm better than her. Although they used the divination skill for calculation, they couldn’t get any secret. The practitioner who mastered the skill must regard the Spiritual Realm as their only chance to live. So, he hid there with other people. However, they didn’t know that men of the Spiritual Realm wouldn’t care about their lives.
“Uncle Shan, after the affairs of the Wanjian Sect are settled, I’m afraid that you need to go back to the spiritual circle.”
Su Li said calmly. Wen Tingshan slightly raised his eyebrows and smiled, “After I deal with the dispute of the Wanjian Sect, I will come to help you. It will not be so long.”
Based on his cultivation, as long as he took the token back to the sect, he could control most of men immediately. Then, after a month at most, he could integrate the Wanjian Sect.
“Well, congratulations in advance, Uncle Shan!”
“Ho-ho…”
Fang Yuan sat beside them. Watching them talking happily, he fell into silence. He couldn’t join them because he didn’t know about the longevity realm, divination skill and Spiritual Realm at all. Compared with Su Li, his knowledge was too limited.
For a time, he felt strong self-abasement suddenly. It had lasted for a long time and influenced him in a subtle way. At this moment, it became crazier.
In spite of the self-abasement, he would never submit himself to Su Li. He would narrow the gap in his own way!
After an hour, they stopped in front of a ruined temple.
Getting off from the carriage, Fang Yuan looked around and became confused. This place was very close to the city wall of Yunjing City. There were few such desolate places in Yunjing City. The temple… If he was right, the temple was used to worship the deity of the land, which had been abandoned for a long time.
Was the Spiritual Realm here?
Su Li went out of the carriage slowly and became serious. Although she was relaxed to tell something at the carriage just now, she didn’t dare to be careless. If Fang Yuan observed it more carefully, he could find that everything here, including the rock was fancy.
The place was extraordinary and seemed not to exist in the world. It was like a boat mooring at the wharf, which only had a little connection with the land. If the connection was broken, the boat would be floated away out of control on a fast river.
Su Li stood in silence for a moment, recalling the first time she saw that legendary woman in her previous life. But only for a moment, she came to her sense. She nodded to Wen Tingshan and said, “Let’s go.” This was seen by Fang Yuan in confusion.
Wen Tingshan’s eyes flashed. It seemed that he confirmed something. Then, without hesitation, he knelt before the deity of land. The distance was an extremely auspicious figure.
He slapped his chest and then got a drop of purplish red essence and blood. He shouted, “Spiritual essence and blood, give me the spirit!”
At that moment, the original calm nothingness was immediately replaced with a ripple as if he had dropped a stone in the lake. The light of purplish red essence and blood flashed, and the ripple became bigger and bigger. Finally, everything was destroyed. The nothingness was as weak as a piece of paper, and was torn apart badly!
There was another picture!
Fang Yuan stared at the surroundings. At this moment, the ruined temple was replaced by a delicate palace. There was nobody else but the three people.
Such a magical scene had completely subverted his worldview!
Su Li was calm. The Spiritual Realm needed essence and blood of the men from the spiritual circle to open it. Although she didn’t belong to the circle, she had seen this scene for many times.
When Wen Tingshan saw Su Li’s response, he frowned slightly because he didn’t know whether she was really calm or just pretending.
At this moment, a sweet voice came slowly, and the three people looked at her at the same time. As they expected, there was a woman in indigo clothes coming. She made a bow and smiled warmly,
“Head of the Wanjian Sect, I’m Qing He. Please forgive me for failing to welcome you!”
She seemed very polite, but Fang Yuan still felt that she was so indifferent that all the things happening in this world seemed to have no relations with her. She was more of an onlooker than a person who lived here.
“Thank you.”
Wen Tingshan replied, being neither humble nor pushy. In his impression, the Spiritual Realm was mysterious and powerful! He didn’t dare to give contemptuous remarks as Su Li did.
“You must have known why we come here. The affairs of the Wanjian Sect are none of your business.”
Qing He smiled and nodded, “You’re so funny. The Spiritual Realm is never involved in the affairs of the spiritual circle. It only records its rise and decline. The affairs of the Wanjian Sect are naturally none of our business. Head, help yourself.”
Hearing this, Wen Tingshan was a little angry but didn’t say anything. Then he had to search the men of the Wanjian Sect with Su Li and Fang Yuan in the vast Spiritual Realm. However, they saw nobody but Qing He.
Wen Tingshan became angrier because Qing He… was clearly fooling him!
