Chapter 151 The Lord's Inclination Towards the Lower Realm
Although Xue Chongyu and Wu Jin had long anticipated that they would not be able to get news of Xue Lan so easily.
However, they did not expect that the young sect leader of the Longsword Sect would spout nonsense.
"Fellow Daoist Long, please don't lie to us. We two are indeed looking for Fellow Daoist Xue because we have important business to discuss." Xue Chongyu's voice carried a hint of coldness.
Long Siyin seemed intrigued, the girl still wearing that gentle smile: "I wonder what important matter it is? I'm also a little curious. Would Fellow Daoist Xue be so kind as to tell me?"
After thinking for a while, Xue Chongyu finally told Long Siyin about Xue Ziyan's descent to the mortal realm. However, the girl deliberately omitted the beginning and end of her story, obscuring the purpose of Xue Ziyan's descent.
After listening, Long Siyin asked with some doubt, "Then what does this matter have to do with that weapon refiner from the Xuanhuang Sect? Could it be that she killed your sister?"
Xue Chongyu naturally had this suspicion in her heart, but she dared not say it. She did not expect Long Siyin to be so unscrupulous and directly reveal the unspoken implication between the two parties.
Xue Chongyu had no choice but to deny it, saying, "I have never thought of that."
Long Siyin didn't believe her story. When she was young, she heard the elders in the sect say that the children of the great clans in the upper realm, whether human or demon, were all cunning and treacherous, and nine and a half out of ten of their words were lies.
Long Siyin softly said, "Oh!"
Then there is no more.
Wu Jin watched anxiously from the sidelines. This Miss Chongyu's conversational skills were terrible! She'd already sealed the deal with something so wrong. He straightened his sleeves and stepped forward, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Long Siyin raising her hand.
The girl's voice was clear and bright: "Don't speak! You're just as cunning as Xue Lan, I'm scared!"
Wu Jin opened his mouth halfway, but couldn't utter a single word. He felt utterly heartbroken.
Isn't it you mortals who speak without considering others' feelings? At least try to be a little more tactful!
Xue Chongyu felt somewhat embarrassed looking at him. The young girl knew that she couldn't get anything out of Long Siyin, so she bowed again.
"Since Fellow Daoist Long truly does not know Fellow Daoist Xue's whereabouts, then I, Xue, shall take my leave!"
Just as the two turned around, Long Siyin's voice came from behind: "She is in the mortal realm!"
"Xue Lan went to the mortal realm after the great battle at Luoxia Mountain, and it's been more than a month now!" Long Siyin held the Duying Sword in her hand, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"I told Fellow Daoist Xue what he wanted to know. I am also curious about the situation in the Upper Realm. I would appreciate it if Fellow Daoist Xue could enlighten me."
They provided fairly reliable information, though it didn't seem very useful, so Xue Chongyu felt embarrassed to leave. The girl turned around and looked at Long Siyin.
"What does Fellow Daoist Long wish to ask?"
"I want to know, how long do the people of the upper realm intend to let the demons run rampant?"
Xue Chongyu sighed: "I don't know about other aristocratic families and demon clans, but I'm afraid I don't have time to endure this with my wolf clan."
This sentence contains a great deal of information, but it is also something that everyone in both the upper and lower realms knows.
The wolf clan's chief ruler, who has held sway over the powerful figures of the upper realm for thousands of years, is nearing the end of his reign.
Wu Jin looked at Xue Chongyu with disbelief in his eyes. He hadn't expected Xue Chongyu to bring up this matter so subtly.
"Fellow Daoist Xue is truly genuine!" Long Siyin said sarcastically.
"It's alright. My elder brother said that even if she becomes a ghost or a skeleton, she is still incomparable to others."
These words were so domineering that they immediately piqued Long Siyin's interest in this wolf-like leader.
What kind of monster is this?
"If that time really comes, and there isn't an absolute fighting force protecting the rift between the upper and lower realms, the first thing the immortal sects in the lower realm will have to be wary of won't be the demon race," Xue Chongyu continued. Only then did Wu Jin realize that Xue Chongyu had been conveying an important signal to Long Siyin from the very beginning.
First, the wolf clan is about to take action against the demon clan.
Secondly, not everyone in the upper realm is a good person. If the lower realm is to fight against the demons, it's best to do so as soon as possible, otherwise they may be attacked from both sides later on.
After saying these words, Xue Chongyu rode away on a cloud, and Wu Jin followed.
Above the clouds, Wu Jin looked at the girl beside him: "Miss Chongyu, is this what your elder brother ordered?"
Xue Chongyu pretended to be naive: "No, it's just what I wanted to say."
Wu Jin looked at Xue Chongyu with a resentful gaze: "Do I look like that idiot Lin Xunfan to you?"
Xue Chongyu calmly replied, "They're evenly matched!"
The things she said to Long Siyin before were indeed at the behest of her elders; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to spread the news outside even if she had eight hundred lives.
Wu Jin was speechless at Xue Chongyu's words. After a moment of contemplation, the young man softly said, "The eldest prince prefers the lower realm!"
When Wu Jin said those words, he felt extremely excited. The wolf-kin chieftain, whose majesty was relied upon by the entire upper realm, was actually biased towards the lower realm.
This is really... interesting!
The girl beside him nodded slightly, and when she turned to look at him, a dark and ambiguous light flashed in her icy blue eyes.
Wu Jin knew something was wrong, but it was too late. The next second, an extremely sharp sword aura entered his sea of consciousness, and wherever it passed, it felt like touching ten thousand years of ice, causing excruciating pain.
This sensation lasted only a moment. A moment later, the intense pain in his sea of consciousness disappeared, and Wu Jin frantically went to check his sea of consciousness.
It was calm and without any ripples.
The young man's face was deathly pale, and his body trembled slightly as he looked at the girl in front of him.
Xue Chongyu's voice was soft and gentle: "Wu Jin, you don't actually think that my eldest son took a liking to you and that's why he let you go to the mortal realm, do you?"
Wu Jin's voice was no longer as flippant as before: "Xue Chongyu, you're plotting against me!"
The white-haired girl's clear, icy blue eyes said, "You're too confident in yourself, the so-called... Soul Art genius!"
"That sword energy just now came from my patriarch. You'd better not act rashly. You haven't cultivated your divine sense to this level; you wouldn't want it all to be shattered and reduced to ashes, would you?"
Wu Jin calmed his anger. He hadn't expected that the Wolf Lord would personally intervene for a junior like himself. A sword aura was sent directly into his sea of consciousness through the thin veil of Heavenly Dao.
What terrifying strength! That person must have already reached the state of perfect harmony between man and sword.
A small mirror appeared in Xue Chongyu's palm. The mirror was blurry at first, but it gradually became clear as time passed, revealing a white-haired woman sitting with her back to Wu Jin.
Wu Jin immediately guessed who this person was, and the young man quickly bowed: "Wu Jin greets Lord Changjun!"
The woman on the other side of the mirror held a wine jug in her hand and sat in the middle of a pool of water. Her voice was as cold and elegant as the moon in the sky.
"I heard that you were expelled from the Wu family because you practiced the forbidden Soul-Capturing Technique."
Wu Jin nodded slowly.
"it is good!"
The woman put down the wine pot and turned around. Wu Jin saw a pair of blood-red eyes: "Do you know about using the soul to fix the spirit?"
Wu Jin nodded. The young man looked behind the woman in the mirror. Opposite the woman was a huge headless wolf carcass.
"Then let's get started!"
