Chapter 611 Wish
Jiang Liqian's face turned ugly. She turned around, grabbed Xu Youan's hand, and drew her Heavenly Sword, ready to forcefully break through the encirclement.
The talisman shone brightly, instantly transforming into a large golden net that descended from the sky, trapping them inside.
It's actually a celestial artifact, one of the most revered treasures of the Discipline Hall—the Golden Net!
Their already solemn expressions grew even more so. What was even more troublesome than the Luo Jin Divine Net was the Disciplinary Hall disciple who had already appeared before them on his sword.
Shi Tianjian was gripped so tightly in her hand that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Xu Youan glanced at his senior sister with concern, took a step forward, and was about to say something when Jiang Liqian quickly pulled him back.
Xu Youan staggered, staring in astonishment at her retreating figure.
Jiang Liqian did not turn around.
"Fellow disciples, if you've come to see us off, this is enough. There's no need to go any further. If not, please move on to another place. My junior brother and I still have a long way to go."
The leading disciple from the Discipline Hall stepped forward. Although his expression was serious, he was also filled with complex emotions in the face of the Tianqian Sect's recent legendary achievements. When he spoke, he offered more advice than words.
“Junior Sister Jiang, Junior Brother Xu, the truth of the matter has not yet been ascertained. Various sects have gathered outside the sect and are speaking with great certainty. We have no choice but to enforce the law impartially and temporarily detain Junior Brother. However, as soon as the truth comes to light, we will release Junior Brother immediately.”
"As the number one immortal sect, even if we wanted to, we cannot allow you to escape like this, adding insult to injury. Junior brother, junior sister, come back with us first. The sect leader and elders will not let our junior brother suffer in vain."
Jiang Liqian lowered her eyes, her hand holding the sword trembling slightly, and asked them in a low voice, "How are you going to clear Ayou's name? Are you going to lock him up in the water dungeon again? A few Soul-Seizing Nails almost killed him!"
"This..." The senior disciples in the discipline hall looked at each other in bewilderment.
It was Junior Sister Jiang who suggested imprisoning Junior Brother Xu in the water dungeon, and the sect leader personally ordered its approval; they had no choice...
"Fellow disciples, please make way." They couldn't waste any more time. If the Second Elder received the message and came to arrest them personally, they wouldn't be able to leave.
"Junior Sister Jiang!"
Jiang Li took a deep breath.
It seems that in this life, she will once again have to take action against her fellow disciples in her own sect.
Without saying another word, the Heavenly Sword was instantly drawn.
"Junior Sister Jiang, don't be so stubborn. You should know how serious a crime it is to resist the discipline of the Disciplinary Hall. Junior Brother Xu is already suspected of being guilty. Do you really want to confirm his crime?" A senior brother from the Disciplinary Hall hurriedly reminded her.
"It's not too late to repent and stop now!"
However, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back; once a decision is made, there's no going back halfway.
The Heavenly Sword drew a purple lightning bolt in the air, and all the senior brothers gasped in unison, their expressions changing drastically. A piercing metallic cutting sound rang out, and the Luo Jin Divine Net shattered instantly under the sword light.
He was only in his early twenties, and had just broken through to the Guixu realm, yet he could cut through immortal artifacts as easily as slicing cucumbers. What kind of divine weapon was this, and what kind of cultivation talent did he possess?
too strong!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest sword cultivator in the history of the Tianqian Sect!
If she were willing to devote herself to cultivation within the sect, she might become the first person to ascend to immortality even younger than Sect Leader Qingzhi.
"Fellow disciples, please forgive me!"
The Heavenly Sword was incredibly sharp, and its continuous thunderous power, carrying a chilling sword aura, pressed down on them like a tidal wave.
Upon seeing this, the senior disciples in the Discipline Hall immediately shouted, "Form the formation!"
The illusory image of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Immortal Locking Array appeared beneath their feet in the blink of an eye.
Just as the two sides were about to clash, a startled shout suddenly rang out from the horizon: "Stop—!"
The next second, a figure rushed into the middle of the "battlefield".
Jiang Liqian's pupils contracted slightly as she saw that it was Ji Huaiche blocking her sword. She reflexively withdrew her sword. The disciples of the Discipline Hall, not wanting to harm Ji Huaiche, quickly withdrew their formation.
The air currents collided violently and suddenly burst outwards, creating a strong wind, sand and stones flying everywhere, and petals of orchids were swept up into the sky by the wind, then fluttered down again.
"Junior Brother Ji, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind?"
"Senior Brother Ji, you..."
Ji Huaiche ignored Jiang Liqian for the moment and turned to the senior brothers in the Discipline Hall, saying, "The Second Elder sent me as an intermediary. I have some acquaintance with them, and we are all disciples of the same sect. Why should we turn against each other? You should go back and report first. I will take them back."
"This..." They hadn't received a message from the training center.
Ji Huaiche remained expressionless and said, "Senior brother, don't you believe me?"
The senior disciple from the Discipline Hall relaxed his furrowed brows, softened his imposing manner, and nodded, saying, "Alright, since it's the elder's order, we'll head back now. Junior Brother Ji, you must never rush in like that again. If we hadn't stopped in time, you could have been seriously injured!"
Ji Huaiche nodded repeatedly, assuring everyone that he would never act so frivolously and impulsively again. The people from the Discipline Hall didn't say anything more. He, Jiang Liqian, and Xu Youan nodded slightly in acknowledgment and then left.
Only after they had completely disappeared from sight did Ji Huaiche reveal the paper crane in his hand.
He glanced at Xu Youan beside Jiang Liqian and raised an eyebrow: "You know I'm around here?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liqian immediately turned her head to look at him.
Xu Youan said, "It was just a coincidence."
Ji Huaiche remained noncommittal: "Really?"
However, he had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. He looked at the two of them and sighed deeply.
"Let's go, go wherever you want. I'll pretend I never saw you this time."
Jiang Liqian was taken aback and asked, "But you said you were going to take us back. If we leave, how will you explain it?"
Ji Huaiche chuckled and flicked his sleeve: "Junior Sister Jiang, you're so powerful, wielding the Shitian Sword across the Central Plains. If I couldn't defeat you, would letting you escape be such a difficult thing?"
He waved his hand, his tall and upright figure standing beneath the orchid: "Let's go, let's go. If possible, let's hide for as long as possible. The cultivation world might..."
His voice stopped abruptly.
Amidst the shower of petals, Jiang Liqian could barely make out his features.
"Sister..."
Jiang Liqian turned around, her expression hardening: "Let's go."
The figures of the young boy and girl disappeared into the sea of flowers, quickly vanishing into the vast and endless clusters of orchids.
Ji Huaiche waited until there was no more sound around him before turning to look in the direction they had left. Something slowly welled up in his eyes, gradually obscuring the indifferent depths within them.
He looked up at the clouds and mist floating in the sky.
The voice was faint and almost inaudible.
"Sister, this fulfills one of your wishes, doesn't it...?"
"You don't owe Senior Brother Qingya anything anymore."
Human affairs are unpredictable, and everything is subject to change.
Those who died a hundred years ago could not have a happy ending; I only hope that those who come after will not have any regrets.
