Chapter 106 Leaving
The cracking of the Yin-Yang fish seal that opened the Rakshasa Illusionary Sea signifies that the Twelve Sects have completely lost control of the Rakshasa Illusionary Sea.
Shen Fengzhi demonstrated to everyone present through her actions that she was not consulting with them, but rather informing them unilaterally.
This arrogant behavior showed that they hardly took the Twelve Sects seriously.
However, no one present dared to question it.
Even without Shen Fengzhi's suppression, they wouldn't dare to provoke the Lingwei Sect Leader at this critical juncture.
To put it bluntly, the loss of the Rakshasa Illusionary Sea will be borne jointly by the twelve sects.
Even if they return to their sect to be punished, their own sect leader will at most reprimand them a few times; it's impossible for him to kill them.
If anyone dares to whisper in front of Shen Fengzhi now, he will really make an example of them.
Nobody wants to be the chicken that gets killed.
Wen Fuyue naturally dared not object to Shen Fengzhi's forceful act of taking back the Rakshasa Illusionary Sea.
He looked at the cracked yin-yang fish seal, his expression changed slightly, but he still knew Shen Feng: "Sect Leader Shen, the Rakshasa Illusion Sea has belonged to the Lingwei Sect for a thousand years, and my Nanhua Sect has no objection to this."
"However, we still have ten disciples in the secret realm. They are young and ignorant. I wonder if the sect leader could teleport all of our disciples out?"
The Buddhist monks at Chanyin Temple were the most panicked, as their disciples were still inside!
Shen Fengzhi pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright."
As soon as the woman's voice disappeared, the oppressive, suffocating pressure on everyone was completely withdrawn. However, the long-lost sense of relaxation did not truly allow everyone to relax.
—Who knows if this living father intends to continue living in seclusion in the Rakshasa Illusion Sea, or if he will suddenly appear!
As soon as the oppressive aura dissipated, everyone remained trembling and dared not raise their heads.
Wen Fuyue reminded her, "The water curtain has been turned off."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could express any further thoughts on the sudden situation, the world around them changed abruptly.
The yin-yang symbol, which had disappeared for several days, reappeared out of nowhere!
The next moment, disciples began to be thrown out one after another!
Everyone was on tenterhooks, knowing that Shen Fengzhi had already begun to drive people away.
Whenever the elders saw their disciples come out, they would rush to greet them and check if the disciples were injured.
The disciples, unaware of what was happening outside, were completely bewildered, thinking that the trial had ended.
Inside the Lingwei Seal, Shen Fengzhi turned off the water curtain and then turned to Yun Yici, saying, "We don't have much time left. Give me your wooden plaque."
Yun Yici handed her wooden plaque to Shen Fengzhi as instructed.
She wasn't stupid; she knew that Shen Fengzhi had deliberately said those things to protect her.
Shen Fengzhi's forceful appearance indicated that since the Lingwei Sect members were living in seclusion in the Rakshasa Illusion Sea, no one would suspect that she had taken away the Lingwei Seal, which represented the foundation of the Lingwei Sect.
Shen Fengzhi took the wooden plaque from Yun Yici, and with his fingertips like swords, he directly re-engraved the three characters "Lingwei Sect" on it.
She said, "I have copied all the classic texts of the Lingwei Sect's outer pavilion into this wooden plaque. It covers various existing cultivation schools. These texts were collected by my sect's disciples and may have been lost in the world today."
"This text will remain in the Lingwei Sect. You can take this wooden plaque with you when you leave the sect and use it to open the outer pavilion of the Lingwei Sect."
Yun Yici was extremely intelligent, but worried that she might have misunderstood Shen Fengzhi's meaning, so she asked again, "Does Sect Leader Shen mean that I should hand over this wooden plaque?"
Shen Fengzhi said with relief, "That's right. Although I am the head of the Lingwei Sect, I am also a human cultivator. These outer pavilion books are simply attributed to their origin."
"High moral character is a compliment from those in lower positions to those in higher positions. Morality cannot restrain those in higher positions, but a sect needs moral restraint."
"The way to govern subordinates requires a combination of kindness and severity. One should not pursue petty gains, nor be short-sighted, and one should be willing to give up what is necessary."
Shen Fengzhi understood the principle of giving a slap followed by a sweet treat.
She's already slapped him; now it's Yun Yici's turn to offer the sweet treat.
She deliberately appeared mainly to divert public attention from Yun Yici, whose cultivation level was still shallow.
Opening up the outer pavilion, however, was to pave the way for the future Lingwei Sect and Yun Yici.
If Yun Yici wants to rebuild the Lingwei Sect in the future, with the grace of the outer pavilion opening up, if others dare to object, Yun Yici will naturally occupy the moral high ground.
Shen Fengzhi didn't actually have high hopes for Shen Huaichuan.
Let's not even talk about when Shen Huaichuan will be able to get out of trouble.
Even if Shen Huaichuan were to emerge from the Xuanling Prison, his goal would undoubtedly be to ascend to immortality as soon as possible, and he would not possibly stay by Yun Yici's side.
Therefore, Shen Fengzhi could only do his best to pave the way for Yun Yici's future.
After Yun Yici accepted the wooden plaque, Shen Fengzhi looked at Ning Tinglan and the little fox beside her.
The little fox was given a mental suggestion and would not reveal what was happening.
When Ning Tinglan saw Shen Fengzhi looking over, she quickly said, "Sect Leader Shen has been kind to me, and Junior Sister Yun is my junior sister. I will never reveal any information about Lingwei Sect or you."
"If Sect Leader Shen is still worried, please place a mental restriction on me as well."
Having spent the past few days together, Shen Fengzhi had gained some understanding of Yun Yici and the other person, which was why he felt comfortable entrusting the Lingwei Seal to Yun Yici.
As for Ning Tinglan's character, she believed in him; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so open with him.
Shen Feng knew: "That won't be necessary. I know you have the intention."
"Let's go."
Shen Fengzhi had calculated the timing of sending Yun Yici and the other two out, placing them among the other disciples so as not to leave them behind and cause further speculation.
As soon as Shen Fengzhi finished speaking, the three of them felt their bodies being pulled outwards out of their control.
However, Yun Yici's speed was clearly a bit slower than the other two.
After Ning Tinglan and the others disappeared, Shen Fengzhi stood with his hands behind his back, his black hair moving without wind, and closed his eyes to activate the innate technique of Lingwei Seal.
Yun Yici watched as the entire Lingwei Sect, covering a vast area, suddenly rose from the ground in the clouds!
The three thousand spirit swords floating in the air were also lifted up by the entire sect, except for Shen Fengzhi and Jiuying, who remained standing in place.
However, the pavilion where they had been gazing into the distance was now empty and dark, making Shen Fengzhi's white clothes stand out in the darkness.
The beautiful cloudscape that Yun Yici witnessed during her stay of several days seemed to have become her fantasy.
The moment the entire sect floated into the air, Yun Yici looked up and saw the square seal covering the entire sect.
Then, the Lingwei Seal, which contained the Lingwei Sect, rapidly shrank to the size of a palm and flew to a place within Yun Yici's reach.
Yun Yici then saw the true form of the Lingwei Seal. Its body was transparent, with clouds and mist below it, and the Lingwei Sect was above the clouds and mist.
The spirit swords among them were as small as stars, and when they moved, they resembled twinkling stars, making them exceptionally beautiful.
Yun Yici uncontrollably reached out towards the Lingwei Seal, but suddenly felt a sharp pain when her fingertips touched it.
Then a drop of blood seeped into the Lingwei Seal, and the Lingwei Seal shone brightly, indicating that it had successfully re-acknowledged its master.
Before Yun Yici could make any further move, the Lingwei Seal had already been placed between her eyebrows and merged into her sea of consciousness.
Yun Yici felt a sharp pain in her sea of consciousness. Before falling into a coma, her last memory was of Shen Fengzhi smiling and waving goodbye to her in the darkness, and Jiu Ying standing beside Shen Fengzhi with her usual expressionless face.
*
Outside the secret realm, all the elders were watching intently as the disciples were thrown out of the secret realm's exit.
There were only ten disciples in the secret realm, but five of them came out in a row, and Yun Yici and the other two were still nowhere to be seen.
Of the five disciples who did not come out, four were from the Nanhua Sect, and the other was Lu Yiguang from the Wuji Dao Sect.
Although the other sect members had all arrived, they were afraid of missing something, so they dared not leave in advance.
Fortunately, three streaks of light flashed out in succession the next moment.
Upon seeing the familiar figure, Wen Fuyue quickly caught Ning Tinglan, who was at the front, and then quickly moved on to the next person after Ning Tinglan had regained her footing.
As soon as Mu Yunjian got his hands on Wen Fuyue, he realized something was wrong.
However, Ning Tinglan, who was standing next to him, saw "Mu Yunjian" come out and helped him up.
Wen Fuyue temporarily suppressed her doubts and caught the last Yun Yici in her arms.
However, Yun Yici and Ning Tinglan were in different states; Yun Yici was unconscious and collapsed directly into his arms.
All the elders who were waiting for Yun Yici to give an explanation were shocked.
Ning Tinglan panicked as well. He couldn't care less about controlling the little fox beside him and approached Wen Fuyue, saying, "Master, we came out with Junior Sister. What happened to her?"
Wen Fuyue first checked Yun Yici's pulse, then picked her up and carried her to the elders of the Medical Valley: "I would like to ask you fellow Daoists to help me see what is wrong with my disciple."
Without Wen Fuyue needing to say more, Yun Yici's safety was the biggest concern for everyone present.
After examining Yun Yici, the elders of the Medical Valley said, "It seems that her sea of consciousness could not withstand the infusion of power from a high-level cultivator whose cultivation level is higher than hers, resulting in a loss of consciousness."
These words immediately drew everyone's attention.
This means that Yun Yici has most likely indeed obtained the inheritance!
Amid the commotion, Xie Qianjue and Lu Yiguang, who were last remaining, were also thrown out.
After the disciples were cleared out, everyone saw that the entrance and exit of the Rakshasa Illusionary Sea had completely disappeared.
Along with it, the Yin-Yang Fish Seals that controlled the Rakshasa Illusionary Sea of the Twelve Sects were also reduced to dust, beyond repair.
Chu Chen said, "We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's go back to Yinxian City first."
As if they had found their leader, the group led their disciples, who were confused, bewildered, or afraid, back to the city.
However, unlike when they arrived, the Qi Sect generously lent out its spacious and precious specially made spirit boat for the Nanhua Sect to use.
This spirit boat is small in size, but faster than larger spirit boats, and the living quarters inside are extremely exquisite.
This preferential treatment mainly provided a place for Elder Yigu to treat Yun Yici, so no one objected.
Wen Fuyue and her three other disciples also boarded the spirit boat.
This year's Sword Trial Tournament can be described as the most disappointing one yet.
Speaking of which, since the Rakshasa Illusion was taken away, the points can't be calculated anymore.
Wen Fuyue led Ning Tinglan and the other two into an inner room, and after checking and confirming that there were no other hidden dangers, she asked Ning Tinglan, "What happened to you at the Lingwei Sect?"
Ning Tinglan lowered her eyes and said, "Master, I'm sorry, I can't say."
Wen Fuyue pressed further, "Then what's going on with your senior brother and junior sister?"
Wen Fuyue could tell at a glance that the well-behaved person next to Ning Tinglan was definitely not Mu Yunjian.
That's something that can be said.
Worried that someone might be overheard, Ning Tinglan reached out and took Wen Fuyue's hand, writing on it: "Mu, peace."
As he wrote, he said aloud, "Senior Brother Mu is too arrogant and has been placed under a restriction..."
Wen Fuyue was stunned for a moment. After careful observation, she confirmed that the one who was under the restriction was not Mu Yunjian himself, but this imposter.
He said, "Then you..."
Ning Tinglan shook his head, a bitter look on his face. He couldn't deceive Wen Fuyue, nor could he break his promise.
Furthermore, we cannot discuss now the matter of Shen Fengzhi modifying their cultivation techniques.
Wen Fuyue let out a long sigh and said, "Let's go see your junior sister."
Lin Qinyin and Yan Jing stayed by Yun Yici's side, while Chu Chen looked at the other disciples. Only then was Wen Fuyue able to pull a few disciples into the inner room to inquire about the inside story.
The spirit boat of the Weapon Sect flew at an extremely fast speed, arriving at Yinxian City in just a quarter of an hour.
Ji Hengyuan felt Shen Fengzhi's oppressive aura up close even in Yinxian City, and had already ordered the city's guards to be on guard.
Seeing the people from the twelve sects hurriedly returning to the city with their disciples, they quickly let them pass.
She wanted to ask what had happened, but no one was paying attention to her at the moment.
One of the elders from the Medicine Valley went back to settle their own disciples, while the rest of them all stayed by Yun Yici's side, busying themselves with various tasks.
As for the elders of other sects, after discussion, they decided that each sect would send one person to wait for news at the residence of the Nanhua Sect.
In no time, the gates and courtyards of the Nanhua Sect were bustling with visitors.
Wen Fuyue knew that everyone was there for Ning Tinglan and Mu Yunjian.
Yun Yici was unconscious, but Ning Tinglan and Mu Yunjian were not.
Wen Fuyue, accompanied by Ning Tinglan, stepped forward and said, "Please, fellow Daoists from all sects, do not make things difficult for us. It is not that we intentionally concealed anything, but rather that Sect Leader Shen placed mental restrictions on my two disciples."
Wen Fuyue was heartbroken and placed a hand on Muyunjian's shoulder, saying, "Once the mental restriction is triggered, the disciple will either become mentally impaired or die. I beg you fellow Daoists to spare my disciple's life."
The people waiting for news looked at each other in bewilderment.
Li Wanying said, "Mental restrictions also have limits. You can simply shake your head or nod your head."
"Is the Lingwei Sect Leader alive or...?"
Before she could finish speaking, the clear sky outside began to churn and darken again, seemingly indicating that the person they feared was about to make a comeback.
The elders from other sects quickly stopped Li Wanying, fearing that she might summon a living father.
"The person hasn't gone far yet. You don't want to live, but I do."
"We should inform the sect leader of the news of the reappearance of the Lingwei Sect as soon as possible."
"And then there's the matter of the Rakshasa Illusionary Sea."
Li Wanying's face turned pale with anger, but she dared not mention Shen Fengzhi again.
She said to Wen Fuyue, "Then we will wait for the Sword Master of Huaichuan to wake up."
“When Shen Huaichuan was young, he studied at the Lingwei Sect. Even if we don’t respect the monk, we should respect the Buddha. I think the sect leader of Lingwei Sect would not show such ruthlessness to Sword Master Huaichuan.”
Yun Yici was unconscious, but her consciousness remained clear, and she returned to the Lingwei Sect in a conscious state.
This time, however, the sect no longer has the gentle Sect Leader Shen and the ferocious Nine-Headed Serpent.
Fortunately, she had three thousand spirit swords to accompany her.
The Spiritual Seal is merging with her sea of consciousness, and her sea of consciousness will be expanded countless times thereafter.
From then on, her sea of consciousness became a space of its own, which she could freely enter and exit.
The system sighed, "This Lingwei Seal is a celestial artifact; its only flaw is that it lacks a spirit."
"What a pity, if I had a physical body, I would also like to live a life like an immortal here."
Of course, the system was just saying that; if it were an unknown creature that trespassed into the Lingwei Sect, it would probably be chopped into pieces by the three thousand enraged spirit swords.
