“Someone of Ling Family told me that personally.”
Su Li smiled mysteriously. Her expression was calm as usual, which made Bai Su be in a trance for a second.
He shook his head and said with a low voice, “It has been ten thousand years since Ling Qingshui has died. That man is a prodigy like you. He became an immortal at the age of eight thousand, and he was so fast that the natural law was suppressed before it could react. Then he dominated the circle. I am several thousand years older than him, and he still called me Eldest Brother.”
Speaking of this, Bai Su smiled and cherished the memory of them. Then he said in a low voice again, “One day, he suddenly found me and asked me to seal Tianxing Valley into the nothingness with Tianxing Secret Method. I didn’t know what he was going to do, but I believed his character, even if using such a forbidden skill would consume a lot of me.”
Su Li listened quietly, as if she could see the prodigy of the past sadly arranging the funerals for his relatives and friends.
“The disaster came suddenly!”
Bai Su’s eyes misted over and turned red slightly. “Ghost Clan was the first to be affected. The King of Ghosts was killed. Then Qingshui’s home was ruined by Destroy Thunder sent by the natural law!
Then I unexpectedly discovered that people’s memories of Qingshui was disappearing quickly, and then no one remembered him! No one remembered…why this circle was called Qingshui Circle!
The natural law was erasing memory, as if erasing its own shame. The amnesia spread extremely fast. Some old friends and I hid in the Reincarnation Mirror in order to elude the natural law. But we found that the Reincarnation Mirror’s memories had also been erased. So, we couldn’t get out of it and we were trapped there for tens of thousands of years!
After the Reincarnation Mirror was shattered, a few old men and I were able to get out it. But we faced the more desperate Qingshui Circle. Perhaps in the near future, even the name, Qingshui Circle, would be rewritten. Except for the early name of the Great Emperor Lihen, no one remembers him anymore.”
“Impasse…”
Su Li lost in thought. Ling Qingshui was already an immortal. Bai Mo was by no means an immortal according to the brief contact between her and him on that day. His power was at most at the peak of Dacheng Realm. So, he could not equal Ling Qingshui.
From the Practice Secrets of Lin Family written by Lin Chen, Su Li got a lot of common sense about immortals, including the description of the natural law in mother circle.
Lin Chen said that there were countless cultivation circles in the universe, and Qingshui Circle was just a drop in the ocean, a quite common small cultivation circle. Fortunately, the natural law was intact and the fire of cultivation could be passed down from generation to generation.
If someone broke through the shackles of the natural law and entered the immortal realm, this circle would be his mother circle and he would no longer be suppressed or controlled by this circle. If the natural law was enlightened, it would even be proud of him and give him a lot of help.
But what happened to Ling Qingshui?
He should be invincible in this circle. Why did he end up so miserably that even the natural law was ashamed of him?
She couldn’t figure it out…
Su Li rubbed her eyebrows, and temporarily stopped thinking, “So, you see the hope of overthrowing Bai Mo on me?”
Bai Su was silent for a while and then nodded.
“I’m dying. Maybe I won’t linger on that day when you defeat Bai Mo. But before then, I will spare no effort to help you. Tianxing Valley can even violate the teachings of the ancestors to join in your Ni Sect temporarily while I am still alive!”
As soon as he finished his words, the entire Tianxing Valley immediately shook slightly, as if an earthquake occurred.
Su Li stared at Bai Su, “Are you sure your dead ancestors will let you do this?”
“After I die, I will go and make amends to the ancestors!”
Bai Su gave resolute eyes, “Bai Mo erodes slowly, but penetrates very deeply. Over one third of the fifty-three holy sects which followed him have been completely controlled by him. Even if Qingshui Circle is at an ownerless state, I will never want to see the entire Qingshui Circle to be controlled by him.”
He looked angry, “Bai Mo…is definitely not the person of this circle! I can’t find out his method in the ancient books and records. I don’t know what means he used to bewitch the natural law, but as long as he is exposed, the natural law…will never forgive him!”
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes.
She was as same as Bai Mo. Once her identity of Prehistoric Ghost Clan was revealed, the natural law would never let her live.
“Old Ancestor Bai, I have one more question. If you can answer it, our cooperation will begin.”
Su Li stretched out her hands to pour a cup of tea for Bai Su and said softly, “The Lord of Shengtian Shrine also has the same surname, Ling. His son, Ling Li, a powerhouse, is the Lord of Evil. His daughter Ling Xian has joined Fate Palace. Does the Lord of Shengtian Shrine and Ling Qingshui share the same surname, Ling?”
“Impossible!”
Bai Su was angry and snorted, “To this end, I have divined once. The Lord of Shengtian Shrine never shows his face. I can’t discern who he really is, but he is definitely not from the Ling Family, and he may even deliberately change his surname to Ling. However, Shengtian Shrine…depends on the luck stolen from the Ling Family to develop until now!
I don’t know how that fake did it, but if this sly trick goes wrong, Shengtian Shrine will undergo reversed effect and it may be destructed!”
Su Li squinted and chuckled when she heard the words, “Old Ancestor Bai, I appreciate your help. Maybe next we can go to Shengtian Shrine to see a good show.”
Bai Su was dumbfounded and confused.
“I have stayed here long enough today. I have something important to do. It’s time to leave.”
Bai Su nodded and said, “Alright, I have the Tianxing Plate of Tianxing Valley through which we could transmit messages regardless of the distances. But only people in Tianxing Valley could use it. For the convenience of contact, I will let Xie Tianxing stay in Ni Sect all the time. What do you think?”
Su Li said, “But he is still the Young Owner…”
“It’s okay. It’s been many years. It’s time to let Tianwei identify himself.”
Bai Su made up his mind and his eyes brightened, “If I fail this time, I will
die for this righteous cause!”
Hearing these words, Su Li smiled slightly, “Now I will take my leave.”
After saying this, she floated into the air, embarked on the colorful path and quickly went away. Bai Su was surprised when seeing it.
“My curb has been seen through? Su Jiuzhou, at a young age, actually understands the curb?”
Bai Su was puzzled. Was she really less than a hundred years old?
She was more like a prodigy than Qingshui. Why didn’t the natural law kill her?!
…
But at this moment, in the main hall of Tianxing Valley, the calm-faced Owner of the Tianxing Valley was sitting in the upper hall, frowning and looking at the tall and straight figure in the hall.
“What…”
Xie Tianxing could not help being surprised when he saw his father’s expression… Ling Li actually broke away from Shengtian Shrine!
Big news!
Why was there no one who knew it after such a long time?!
“No wonder… No wonder Su Jiuzhou didn’t capture you. It turns out that you have broken away from Shengtian Shrine. So, she has no reason to capture you.”
Xie Tianxing suddenly realized.
“Tianxing, don’t talk nonsense!”
The Owner of Tianxing Valley scolded, and Xie Tianxing immediately shrank back and kept quiet.
The Owner of Tianxing Valley hesitated for a second and then said in a deep voice, “Ling Li, you don’t belong to any sect now. You are a casual practitioner. Even Shengtian Shrine will regard you as an enemy. According to common sense, we should lend you the Guiming Mirror. But…you are different. Everybody knows the Lord of Evil has killed too many innocent people. You are as guilty as hell. Even if you have turned over a new leaf… I need to ask the old ancestor.”
As the Owner of Tianxing Valley said, he closed his eyes slowly.
Ling Li was silent and raised his hands. His hands were clearly clean, but he saw blood on his hands.
The blood belonged to the innocent people and his clansmen… He was steeped in crime!
The Guiming Mirror was the unique treasure of fate circle of Tianxing Valley. As long as someone’s longing was strong enough, he could see the past and present of the person he missed. But…it only worked on the dead, and the soul must be complete to be reincarnated. If the soul was scattered or the person was still alive, the Guiming Mirror would not react at all.
Ling Li went here just for one purpose that if there was another life… he would like to see her again; if not, he would atone for his crime unencumbered.
Xie Tianxing couldn’t help but twitch his mouth when he saw that his father hadn’t opened his eyes. He thought the old ancestor must still be in a close conversation with Su Jiuzhou and had no time to answer his father.
Besides, the Guiming Mirror only needed the strong and pure thoughts. Ling Li was a cold-blooded killer. He only knew killing or not killing. He didn’t have other emotions. He probably wanted to kill someone with the help of the Guiming Mirror.
At this moment, the Owner of Tianxing Valley suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Ling Li quizzically, “Ling Li, the old ancestor invites you. Follow me.”
Ling Li couldn’t help but stare blankly, and then he nodded immediately.
Xie Tianxing was shocked, “Father, does the old ancestor really invite him over?”
The Owner of Tianxing Valley nodded, and then he remembered something and transmitted the sound, “By the way, pack your things up and go to Ni Sect.”
Xie Tianxing was dumbfounded, “I just come back. Why do you let me go there again?”
“The old ancestor meant that you will stay in Ni Sect permanently from now on and listen to Grand Elder Su. You must learn to control your temper there and don’t offend Grand Elder Su.”
Xie Tianxing was dumbfounded. He thought he was so unlucky.
…
After a while, Ling Li came to the cottage room. He saw the exquisite tea set, table and chairs at the entrance, and felt that they did not match the simple decorations in the cottage room.
“Take your seat.”
Bai Su said without raising his head. His thought was in a mess at the moment.
As soon as Su Jiuzhou left, the news of Ling Li’s departure from Shengtian Shrine came over him. Plus, the meaningful “good show” Su Jiuzhou mentioned before, he couldn’t help thinking too much.
For a long time, he had doubts about the origin of Shengtian Shrine. Since Ling Li came here with a request, he might gain something from Ling Li.
Ling Li was a little flattered, but he still walked over and sat down. Then he gave a palm and fist salute, “I am Ling Li. Nice to meet you, Old Ancestor Tianxing.”
Bai Su raised his head and looked closely at Ling Li. He only felt that Ling Li’s eyes were full of blood pneuma. Then he couldn’t help but tut, “As expected, the blood pneuma of Lord of Evil is skyrocketing!”
Seeing Bai Su’s face, Ling Li changed his look instantly and said in a low voice, “… It’s you.”
“Yes, it’s me.”
Revealing his white teeth, Bai Su sneered, “Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult, it was so cool to kill ten thousand of talents back then, right? I feel cool. The henchmen of Fate Palace should all die!”
