Don't hurt yourself...

Was this what Di Mo Jiu had said …

Di Mo Jiu was concerned about her mother?

Jun Qiyan felt that something was very wrong with her. She felt that when she heard these words, she seemed to have smelled the spring breeze, and that countless flowers were blooming before her. However, it was obviously the end of autumn, so where did the fragrance and spring breeze come from …

"You just said …" "What?" Jun Qiyan's train of thought suddenly became somewhat sluggish. She felt that her mind had already become somewhat unable to keep up with the tempo.

Di Mo Jiu slowly approached Jun Qiyan, their faces were so close to each other that Jun Qiyan had even forgotten to breathe. She had never seen Di Mo Jiu at such a close distance before.

"Protect yourself well and don't let yourself be injured. If you are injured, your grandfather would already be this old. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to receive any sort of shock." Di Mo Jiu's voice was faint, seemingly carrying some sort of emotion, but if one listened carefully, there was nothing in it.

Upon hearing these words, a trace of disappointment flashed through Jun Qianyan's heart. She didn't know what to make of this disappointment, but she dismissed the distracting thoughts in her head. "Of course I'll protect myself well."

Di Mo Jiu lowered his eyes and looked at the foolish girl in front of him, a trace of obscure emotion flashed past his eyes.

Jun Qianyan rarely touched on matters of the heart, and her unfathomable emotions were forgotten in the blink of an eye. Since Di Mo Jiu did not stop her from seeking revenge against the Sword Spirit Sect, she had to plan things out now.

After returning to her own room, she thought about how she went to bomb the headquarters of the Sword Spirit Sect the other day. She guessed that the Sword Spirit Sect must have been prepared by now.

She summoned the Octadic Snake. "Master, what orders do you have?"

"You snakes should be the smartest. Come with me to the Sword Spirit Sect this time."

There was a line of black lines on the head of the Baji Snake. No matter what, he was still the king of snakes, yet his master had sent him to do this kind of unskilled work. However, he had long gotten used to Jun Qianyan's "bullying" and nodded his head in resignation.

No matter how overpowered he was, he was still the master he recognized with tears in his eyes.

Jun Qianyan didn't tell this matter to Jun Xuanfeng as she didn't want her grandfather to worry about her. She searched for an entire night before setting off with the Octadic Great Snake.

The headquarters of the Sword Spirit Sect wasn't too far from the capital. However, when he infiltrated the sect this time, the security inside had increased significantly. Jun Qiyan quietly sneaked into an empty room and released the Octadic Snake.

The huge snake flicked its tongue, and the tens of tiny snakes that had transformed into illusions swished away along the corner of the wall.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more and more small snakes returned.

"Master, we haven't found any traces of the Black Scale Bile, but something seems to be amiss in the area behind the mountain of the Sword Spirit Sect." The Octadic Snake had just transformed its own spirit energy into dozens of small snakes that roamed all over the Sword Spirit Sect, but it didn't find anything strange. However, it seemed to have suffered some kind of restriction when it went to the back mountain of the Sword Spirit Sect.

"Behind the mountain? The Sword Spirit Sect still has a back mountain? " Jun Qiyan did not recall seeing something like the back mountain of the Sword Spirit Sect when he went there that day.

"Yes, it's in the back of a building. It's as if someone placed a restriction on it."

"Maybe it's where the Black Scale Bile is. Let's go take a look."

Jun Qiyan walked along the wall and arrived at the pavilion with the help of the Octadic Snake. As soon as he arrived there, he realized that something was wrong. The atmosphere around the building was extremely strange, as if there was a turbulence in the air.

Black Scaled Gall was the tail scale of a thousand-year-old Black Tailed Carp. Even if it had its own spiritual energy, it still wouldn't have such a fluctuating aura.

"Master, there's no one in that building."

Jun Qiyan jumped into the room through a window, her feet touching the ground.

She took out a Luminous Pearl from her sleeve and examined her surroundings. She discovered that this seemed to be the sword spirit sect's ancestral hall. On it hung a portrait of the previous sect master and Great Elder.

The decorations of the pavilion were very simple. Three rows of memorial tablets were placed in the south, and the Soul Comforting Incense was burning in the incense burner.

Jun Qiyan looked at the name on it with disgust. This Sword Spirit Sect knew how to put on a decent appearance.

Every previous sect leader would have a praying mat under their portrait that they would need when they paid their respects. She swept her gaze across the faces of those hypocrites one by one, her expression filled with loathing.

When he saw the current Great Elder, Jun Qiyan's hand stopped moving, and he couldn't help but size up the man in the portrait a few times. He was about forty years old, and wore the sect uniform of an elder of the Sword Spirit Sect.

She seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

While Jun Qiyan was sizing up the area, the Octadic Snake wasn't idle either. He searched the pavilion inch by inch, "Master, there's a secret door."

The voice of the Baji Snake interrupted Jun Qiyan's train of thoughts. She remembered her mission this time and quickly walked in the direction of the Baji Snake. She couldn't help but glance back at the portrait hanging on the wall. Why did it look so familiar?

"These old fellows really know how to hide their traps. If it wasn't for the fact that I, the Occult Snake, was a wise man, I would've been fooled by them as well."

When Jun Qiyan arrived at this place, he discovered that the hidden door that the Octadic Snake had found was actually hidden under one of the tablets. Just as she was about to touch the tablet with her hand, her ears twitched as she and the Octopus Snake glanced at each other almost simultaneously.

Someone was coming!

Jun Qiyan didn't have time to think any further. He scanned his surroundings and jumped onto the roof beam.

Just as Jun Qiyan was about to hide himself, the door to the pavilion was pushed open and a man entered with a lantern in his hand.

By the light of the lanterns, Jun Qiyan was able to clearly see that face. Wasn't that the face of the current Sect Master that was hanging on the wall? Why had he come to the ancestral hall in the middle of the night?

Worship the ancestors? Pray for the dead?

Jun Qiyan held her breath as she watched the newcomers.

After entering the ancestral hall, the Sect Leader of the Sword Spirit Sect looked around and then walked to the spot where Jun Qiyan had been preparing to touch the tablet just now. He placed her palm on the tablet, turned it around to the left, and then turned it three times to the right.

An uncontrollable aura of chaos gushed out from the underground entrance and the head of the Sword Spirit Sect walked straight down the path.

After he had entered, the door was about to close by itself. Jun Feiyan didn't have the time to think as he quickly entered the passage as well.

She used her Spiritual Energy to conceal her aura and silently followed behind the Sect Leader of the Sword Spirit Sect without touching the ground.

As he followed behind the Sect Leader of the Sword Spirit Sect and saw all the hidden weapons along the way, Jun Qiyan was secretly glad that he didn't rush in just now. This made Jun Qiyan even more curious about what was hiding behind this secret passageway …
