Chapter 396 Success in seizing the body, curse words (please subscribe)
The signal for help came out from Shen Yunqiu Cave Mansion, and soon fell into the eyes of the Jindan in Jingshui Pavilion.
However, it was different from what Shen Yunqiu thought. At this time... not only did the officials of Jingshui Pavilion fail to rescue her immediately, but even the monks in the nearby cave also maintained a wait-and-see attitude.
The difference in popularity is evident.
“Master, Shen Yunqiu is our sect after all, and he is expected to be able to transform into an infant. Now we are standing still. If our ancestors find out, I’m afraid..."
Yuping Mountain, inside a cave.
A young female nun flew out of the meeting hall on the top of the mountain and walked in holding a token. She bowed to Ning Xuefeng who was sitting cross-legged in the cave and said.
"I'm afraid?" Upon hearing this, a trace of contempt flashed across Ning Xuefeng's eyes, and she sneered:
“Only Shen Yunqiu? Does he deserve the support of the ancestor?”
“In the heart of our ancestors, all those who have not attained the Nascent Soul are just like ants. Shen Yunqiu is nothing until she has attained the Nascent Soul! Normally, you and I would just let her do something, but now, why should we help her?”
"It's just..." The young female cultivator's face showed a bit of unbearable look, "It's just Shen Yunqiu... After all, it's my cultivator. It's not a good thing to treat it like nothing happened now."
She was worried that Ning Xuefeng would stand by and watch the attack on Shen Yunqiu today, which would make other colleagues feel uncomfortable.
After all, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
Taking a step back, no matter how good Shen Yunqiu is, he is still from the same school.
It’s okay if other people don’t help for their own selfish reasons. But Ning Xuefeng is the master of a pavilion after all. If she doesn't help, she will easily be criticized.
"Yuting, you regard Shen Yunqiu as a classmate, but she may not remember your kindness this time."
“She is too extreme.”
Ning Xuefeng shook her head and sighed softly.
As the head of the pavilion, she can tolerate Shen Yunqiu's hatred of Qin Yuling's lineage, because Qin Yuling's lineage has indeed wronged Shen Yunqiu before.
But she couldn't tolerate it. After Shen Yunqiu vetoed Kou Hongying's proposal, he used a false breakthrough to hinder Wei Yan's path in full view of the public.
After that time, the person who paid for Shen Yunqiu's willful behavior was no one else but Jingshui Pavilion.
Ning Xuefeng is not the Holy Mother, and she will not advise Shen Yunqiu not to anger innocent people, but as a high-ranking person, it is important to act in a measured manner.
If Shen Yunqiu does this again after being certified as Yuanying, even if she is dissatisfied, she will not comment too much... Because the ancestor of Yuanying has such willful power, even if he slaughters the entire Wei family, some people will applaud him.
But obviously, Shen Yunqiu is not.
After his willfulness, all the mess was left to the sect to deal with.
Of course, Ning Xuefeng had another reason that she didn't tell Hu Yuting, her apprentice, and that was - she predicted that Shen Yunqiu, who had an extreme personality, would already have a grudge against her as the master of the pavilion because of the last fake breakthrough.
From this point of view, it would be more in her interest as the Pavilion Master if Shen Yunqiu was killed in a surprise attack or lost the opportunity to prove the Nascent Soul.
—Ning Xuefeng is happy to see an additional Nascent Soul Ancestor in the sect as long as it does not affect her own fundamental interests. Because after the sect grows, it will also be of great benefit to her future path.
On the contrary, Ning Xuefeng would rather destroy a "Nascent Soul Seed" than harm her own interests.
“Master, how do you explain it to me, ancestor?”
Hu Yuting quickly asked. She did not want to see her master punished by the sect because of a temporary conflict of temperament.
“What is the crime of delaying the opportunity because of seclusion as a teacher?”
Ning Xuefeng smiled lightly and didn't care.
In addition to being the Pavilion Master of Jingshui Pavilion, she is also the Jindan Daxiu of Jingshui Pavilion. Shen Yunqiu was able to fake a breakthrough that day, why can't she fake a breakthrough today?
In addition, as long as she is a moment late in rescuing, Shen Yunqiu, who is in danger, will be in more danger.
Why wouldn’t she do it?
“Yes, Master.”
Hearing this, Hu Yuting had no doubts anymore. She bowed, said goodbye and left, preparing to return to the meeting hall to deal with other high-level officials from the same sect who came after hearing the news on behalf of Ning Xuefeng.
…
Yuping Mountain, the main meeting hall.
After Shen Yunqiu's signal for help was sent out, not long after, all the Jindan from Jingshui Pavilion gathered here.
“What did the Pavilion Master say?”
“Are you going to rescue Senior Sister Shen (Uncle Shen)?”
When the cultivators saw Hu Yuting flying over, they immediately stood up and came forward, gathered around and asked.
These words sound okay, and they seem to show enough concern for Shen Yunqiu. However, Hu Yuting, who has already been in Ning Xuefeng Cave Mansion, can easily tell that these fellow Jindans are just doing "routine business."
If these people were really worried about Shen Yunqiu's safety, they would have rescued him privately by now. Why stay in the meeting hall and wait for news.
"The master of the pavilion is in retreat. As a disciple, I can't forcefully wake her up, so I have to leave a talisman letter at the door..."
“I hope the master can see it soon.”
Hu Yuting looked guilty, as if she was blaming herself for her failure in doing things.
After finishing her words, Hu Yuting paid close attention to the reaction of fellow disciple Jin Dan who was present when he heard what she said.
She keenly observed that after hearing what she said, several people breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of gloating on their faces.
This is especially true for the two girls Qin Yuling and Kou Hongying who have a grudge against Shen Yunqiu. The secret joy on their faces can hardly be concealed.
As for the other monks, although the changes in expressions on their faces were not so drastic, their lack of expression at the moment was enough to prove everything.
“I can’t believe that Shen Yunqiu’s popularity is so bad? Decades ago, when he refuted Kou Hongying’s proposal, he still had the support of everyone.”
Hu Yuting thought secretly.
At this moment, the behavior of these classmates made her think of the words "adding insult to injury".
After all, except for Qin Yuling and Kou Hongying, who clearly had an enmity with Shen Yunqiu, the other disciples had always behaved in harmony with Shen Yunqiu on weekdays, and they did not seem to have any personal grudges at all.
Hu Yuting did not know that the attitude of these fellow disciples largely depended on the attitude of her master Ning Xuefeng. Ning Xuefeng is partial to Shen Yunqiu, and these fellow disciples will support Shen Yunqiu.
On the other hand, if Ning Xuefeng "does official business", these fellow disciples will stand clearly behind Ning Xuefeng.
Ning Xuefeng has greatly affected their attitude at high-level meetings.
This is the result of Ning Xuefeng’s prestige accumulated over three hundred years after she became the master of Jingshui Pavilion.
but-
Even so, some monks are still worried about the consequences of standing idly by this time.
After all, Shen Yunqiu is not an ordinary monk, but a major Jindan cultivator in the sect who is expected to transform into an infant.
“Shen Yunqiu is narrow-minded and was able to vent his anger on Wei Tu’s family more than 20 years ago. If we are doing this today, if she finds out... I’m afraid it won’t be good.”
"In my opinion, we should go outside the cave first and wait and see for a while. Then we will decide whether to advance or retreat..."
The cultivators were whispering.
Soon, some Jindan Zhenjun in the meeting hall made a decision and adopted a compromise strategy.
They bowed to Hu Yuting and flew to the vicinity of Shen Yunqiu Cave Mansion, intending to wait and see nearby before deciding whether to rescue her.
However, unfortunately—
Because these Jindan True Monarchs were delayed in the meeting hall for too long, their best opportunity to rescue Shen Yunqiu had been missed early.
Of course, these "neutral gold elixirs" cannot be blamed for this. After all, it was difficult for them to predict that when Shen Yunqiu sent out a signal for help, he had not just encountered a powerful enemy, but had already been fighting with it for a long time.
In fact, the souls of both sides are already engaged in a desperate fight within the sea of consciousness.
…
"Why?"
“No one has come yet?”
On the other side, inside Shen Yunqiudong Mansion.
Shen Yunqiu, who was fighting with Bai Zhi to seize the body, noticed that there was no movement outside the cave, a look of astonishment first flashed on her face, as if she couldn't believe it.
After a while, this look of surprise turned into a look of deep resentment.
Shen Yunqiu is not stupid. She knows that this is because her fellow disciples are unwilling to come to support her, rather than for any other reason.
However, she never expected that at this critical moment, there would be fellow monks who were obsessed with the previous petty grudges and completely forgot about the righteousness of the sect.
“It must be this **** Ning Xuefeng!”
Shen Yunqiu gritted his teeth.
Other than Ning Xuefeng having the power to order fellow monks not to support her, she could not think of any other reason.
She couldn’t imagine that it was her fault!
Because, everything today is owed to her by Jingshui Pavilion.
After all, if Jingshui Pavilion hadn't intervened, how could she have been alone for hundreds of years?
Alone!
“It’s so pitiful that no monk from Jingshui Pavilion has come to save you yet.”
“Shen Yunqiu, if you can do this as a human being, I’m afraid there will be no one like you in the world.”
In Shen Yunqiu's sea of consciousness, several solid black ghosts were surrounding the soul of a phoenix bird with bright golden light, constantly biting away at it. In the process of biting, a black ghost energy suddenly transformed into Bai Zhi's head, and the corner of its mouth smiled and kept taunting.
“Shut up!” Fengniao’s soul, Shen Yunqiu’s soul, shouted angrily: “You devil, what do you know? If you are like me, I’m afraid you are not as good as me!”
“Do you understand what Jingshui Pavilion did to me?”
"Yulang and I were very affectionate, but just because of Jingshui Pavilion's selfishness, we broke up abruptly. Afterwards, we notified Taixuanzong that Yulang would not come out to see me for a hundred years..."
“Shouldn’t I resent the sect?”
Shen Yunqiu laughed sarcastically several times, his body looked slightly crazy.
It didn’t notice—
At this moment, the blood light from the body-shaping spirit-returning formation has completely invaded her body, turning her from a cold and beautiful fairy into an old woman with chicken-skinned skin and white hair.
In other words, it was not that Shen Yunqiu was unsettled at the moment, but the restlessness caused by her true spirit being taken away step by step, making it difficult for her to feel at ease.
“No! I don’t want to die!”
After half a cup of tea, Shen Yunqiu saw that his phoenix soul shrank smaller and smaller, while the ghost energy transformed by Bai Zhi became stronger and stronger. Shen Yunqiu showed a look of horror and unwillingness on his face.
“Spare me. Spare me.”
Shen Yunqiu began to beg for mercy.
At this moment, she really felt what it meant to be in heaven and hell.
Half a day ago, she was a major repairer of Jingshui Pavilion's golden elixir, which was expected to transform into a baby, and was admired by thousands of people.
Even if Wei Tu, a third-level alchemist, was offended, she could only pinch her nose and admit it. She did not dare to come to trouble her at all and could only admit that she was unlucky.
But half a day later…
Not only will she no longer have the opportunity to obtain the Nascent Soul, but her physical body will also be taken away from her.
What’s even more tragic is that none of the fellow monks came to save her.
The previous admiration of thousands of people seemed...just a joke.
“Fellow disciples of Jingshui Pavilion, I curse you, you will never be able to escape from generation to generation. From now on, no one in the sect can break through Nascent Soul!”
Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Shen Yunqiu's eyes showed hatred. At the last moment of his life, he borrowed his magic power and shouted such a curse word outside the cave.
