Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts, Yunxiao Draws Her Sword Against Dingguang Immortal at the Start
"Help! Help! Yunxiao's gone mad and wants to kill this poor Daoist..."
Chang'er Dingguang Immortal shouted at the top of his lungs.
Gradually, more Immortals from the Intercepting Sect gathered. Upon seeing Yunxiao attacking Dingguang Immortal with her sword, they were all bewildered.
Yunxiao was a favored disciple of the Tongtian Cult Master. She was known for her gentle and kind nature, and treated everyone with extreme friendliness. How could she suddenly draw her sword and attack Dingguang Immortal for no reason?
The two were chasing each other on Golden Ao Island.
Just then, a stout Daoist priest emerged.
This stout Daoist priest was none other than Duobao Daoist, the chief disciple of the Intercepting Sect.
"What are you doing?"
Duobao Daoist frowned, looking suspicious.
Seeing Duobao Daoist, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal was overjoyed. He quickly fled to Duobao Daoist's side, cupped his hands, and said, "First Senior Brother, save me! Yunxiao has lost her mind and is attacking me with her sword for no reason. I beg you to uphold justice for me!"
At that moment, Yunxiao flew over, sword in hand.
Duobao Daoist's brow furrowed deeply. He stepped forward to block Yunxiao and said urgently, "Junior Sister Yunxiao, stop! Why are fellow disciples fighting each other?"
"First Senior Brother, get out of the way! I will kill this scoundrel today!"
Yunxiao looked at Duobao Daoist, her pretty face flushing red, and shouted.
Duobao Daoist was completely confused. He turned to look at Dingguang Immortal and said, "Junior Brother Dingguang, how did you offend Junior Sister Yunxiao? Quickly apologize to her. I'll mediate and help you resolve this matter..."
Chang'er Dingguang Immortal was on the verge of tears. He trembled and said, "First Senior Brother, I truly did not offend her! I was traveling outside and saw the Three Xiao sisters. I went up to greet them, but unexpectedly, Yunxiao drew her sword and attacked me. If I hadn't run fast, I wouldn't be able to see you today..."
"This... you didn't offend Junior Sister Yunxiao, so why did Junior Sister Yunxiao draw her sword to attack you?"
Duobao Daoist frowned, not entirely believing Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.
After all, Yunxiao was famously good-tempered and well-liked within the Intercepting Sect. How could she draw her sword and attack Dingguang Immortal without reason?
It must be that Dingguang Immortal had offended Yunxiao and angered her, which led to her actions.
Chang'er Dingguang Immortal felt like crying without tears. He said urgently, "First Senior Brother, please believe me! I really didn't offend Yunxiao. She's truly lost her mind. She draws her sword at me whenever she sees me..."
"This..."
Duobao Daoist was also stunned.
After all, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal didn't seem to be lying.
Just then, Qiongxiao and Bixiao also caught up.
"Sister, are you alright?"
Bixiao asked with concern.
Yunxiao shook her head slightly. The cold glint in her beautiful eyes flickered uncertainly as she glared at Chang'er Dingguang Immortal through gritted teeth, clearly not intending to let him off the hook.
Duobao Daoist looked at Qiongxiao and Bixiao and asked, "Junior Sisters Qiongxiao and Bixiao, Dingguang Immortal just said that when your eldest sister Yunxiao saw him, she drew her sword and attacked him for no reason. Is this true?"
"This..."
Although Qiongxiao and Bixiao wanted to side with their eldest sister, the facts were as stated. The two sisters nodded slightly.
"Yunxiao, what exactly happened? Why did you try to kill Dingguang Immortal?"
Duobao Daoist was even more bewildered. He looked at Yunxiao and asked, completely confused.
"Enough! Such clamor, what kind of conduct is this? Yunxiao, come to Biyou Palace!"
Just then, the voice of the Tongtian Cult Master echoed from the direction of Biyou Palace.
Yunxiao glared at Chang'er Dingguang Immortal through gritted teeth, then sheathed her immortal sword and walked towards Biyou Palace.
Upon entering Biyou Palace, Yunxiao cupped her hands and bowed to the Tongtian Cult Master. "Disciple greets Teacher!"
The Tongtian Cult Master also looked at Yunxiao, completely bewildered, and asked, "Yunxiao, what exactly happened? You were determined to kill Dingguang Immortal?"
Earlier, the Tongtian Cult Master had used his dharma eye to observe the entire sequence of events. It was indeed Yunxiao who had drawn her sword and attacked Dingguang Immortal without reason. The matter was truly too strange.
The Tongtian Cult Master knew Yunxiao too well. Yunxiao was gentle and virtuous, and usually the most obedient disciple. Unless something major had happened, Yunxiao would never have acted like this.
However, even he, a Saint, could not figure out what that specific event was.
Yunxiao hesitated, looking back outside Biyou Palace.
The Tongtian Cult Master waved his large sleeve, setting up heavy restrictions. He looked at Yunxiao and said, "Yunxiao, now you can speak. With these restrictions in place, even Saints from all the heavens will not hear our conversation!"
Yunxiao hesitated for a moment, then cupped her hands and said to the Tongtian Cult Master, "Teacher, that Chang'er Dingguang Immortal will betray our Intercepting Sect in the future, which is why I wanted to kill this scoundrel!"
"Chang'er Dingguang Immortal is going to betray the sect? This... how did you know?"
The Tongtian Cult Master's eyebrows shot up as he heard this. He was inwardly shocked and asked urgently.
This matter was too astonishing for the Tongtian Cult Master to remain calm!
After all, betraying the sect was no small matter!
What the Tongtian Cult Master couldn't understand was how Yunxiao was so certain that Chang'er Dingguang Immortal would betray the sect?
Even he, as a Saintly master, could not ascertain this by peering into the river of time.
Moreover, with the great tribulation of heaven and earth approaching, the heavenly secrets were completely obscured. How did Yunxiao know about this?
Yunxiao took a deep breath, looked at the Tongtian Cult Master, and cupped his hands, saying, "Teacher, I learned from Fifth Senior Brother that Chang'er Dingguang Immortal was going to betray the sect!"
"Li Xiao?"
The Tongtian Cult Master raised an eyebrow and exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, Teacher!"
Yunxiao nodded.
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Cult Master rolled his eyes and pouted, "Yunxiao, if you had gotten this news from someone else, I might have believed it. Your Fifth Senior Brother Li Xiao is full of hot air and just says whatever comes to his mind. How can you believe anything he says?" Chapter 7 What? Li Xiao Knows the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts?
Clearly, in the eyes of the Tongtian Cult Master, Li Xiao was a typical "bad kid."
After all, Li Xiao had just promised the Tongtian Cult Master that he would cultivate diligently. But after returning, Li Xiao had gone straight to sleep, completely ditching the Tongtian Cult Master.
This led to the Tongtian Cult Master no longer believing anything Li Xiao said.
Yunxiao looked at the Tongtian Cult Master and said anxiously, "Teacher, it wasn't Senior Brother Li Xiao who said it..."
"It wasn't Li Xiao who said it? But you just said it was Li Xiao. Why the sudden change of words?"
The Tongtian Cult Master was also a bit bewildered, looking at Yunxiao speechlessly and asking.
Yunxiao gave a wry smile, looked at the Tongtian Cult Master, and said, "Teacher, what I'm about to say next is too... too unbelievable, but everything I say is true. You must believe me!"
The Tongtian Cult Master nodded and said, "Yunxiao, speak."
Yunxiao looked at the Tongtian Cult Master, her pretty face twitching violently. "Teacher, actually... actually, I can hear Senior Brother Li Xiao's inner thoughts!"
"Hear his inner thoughts? This..."
The Tongtian Cult Master's old face twitched violently, and he rolled his eyes, looking at Yunxiao speechlessly. "Yunxiao, hearing inner thoughts, this kind of thing, you..."
"Teacher, I know this is too unbelievable, but it's all true, and I have proof!"
Yunxiao knew the Tongtian Cult Master wouldn't believe her, so she said quickly.
"Oh? Proof?"
The Tongtian Cult Master's interest was piqued. He raised an eyebrow, looking at Yunxiao with disbelief.
Eavesdropping on inner thoughts was too mystical. Even as a Saint, the Tongtian Cult Master couldn't know what someone was thinking; he could only glimpse their actions through the river of time.
Yunxiao flipped her hand, revealing the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation Plate, and said to the Tongtian Cult Master, "Teacher, during your previous sermon, I heard Senior Brother Li Xiao say that we three sisters would have an opportunity and obtain three treasures. After I left Golden Ao Island, I tentatively searched for them, and indeed, I found three treasures. This Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation Plate is one of them. The other two are with my two sisters..."
"This... this is truly such a strange occurrence?"
The Tongtian Cult Master exclaimed.
Yunxiao gave a wry smile and looked at the Tongtian Cult Master. "Everything I've said is the absolute truth!"
Even the Tongtian Cult Master was stunned for a long time after hearing this.
"Li Xiao can actually glimpse people's destinies? This... was my previous deduction correct? The future of my Intercepting Sect lies with Li Xiao?"
The Tongtian Cult Master's eyes flickered with light as he muttered.
Earlier, when Li Xiao had first transmigrated, the Tongtian Cult Master had divined that the future of the Intercepting Sect lay with Li Xiao. That was why the Tongtian Cult Master had gone to find Li Xiao and unusually accepted him as a personal disciple.
However, Li Xiao's subsequent performance had greatly disappointed the Tongtian Cult Master. As time passed, the Tongtian Cult Master had forgotten about it!
He thought perhaps he had made a wrong deduction back then!
Who would have thought that what Yunxiao said today would shock the Tongtian Cult Master so much!
Li Xiao could actually glimpse the heavenly secrets, and with such clarity, it truly astonished him.
So, this disciple of his was truly hiding his abilities, appearing foolish but possessing great wisdom!
"Insolent disciple, to deceive even me..."
The more the Tongtian Cult Master thought about it, the angrier he became, cursing under his breath.
After calming down for a moment, the Tongtian Cult Master looked at Yunxiao and asked suspiciously, "But how is this related to you beheading Dingguang Immortal?"
Yunxiao's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at the Tongtian Cult Master. "Teacher, when I visited Senior Brother Li Xiao earlier, Dingguang Immortal was also there. Senior Brother Li Xiao's attitude towards Dingguang Immortal was extremely cold at the time. Later, I heard Senior Brother Li Xiao's inner thoughts. Senior Brother Li Xiao said that Dingguang Immortal would betray our Intercepting Sect in the future and asked if he should be killed. However, Senior Brother Li Xiao, fearing your punishment, Teacher, did not pay attention to Dingguang Immortal. Afterwards, when I returned to Three Immortal Island, I encountered Dingguang Immortal. Thinking that this villain would betray our Intercepting Sect in the future, I couldn't hold back and... and drew my sword to behead him. I ask for your punishment, Teacher!"
"This... what did Li Xiao's inner thoughts say? That Dingguang Immortal would betray our Intercepting Sect?"
The Tongtian Cult Master was still somewhat dazed and exclaimed.
Yunxiao nodded. "Yes, Teacher. I heard it clearly, and there is absolutely no mistake!"
The Tongtian Cult Master nodded, his eyes flashing with divine light. He then looked at Yunxiao and said, "Yunxiao, do not tell Li Xiao that you can eavesdrop on his inner thoughts for now. If you hear anything else, report it to me immediately!"
"Yes, Teacher!"
Yunxiao quickly cupped her hands.
After a moment of hesitation, Yunxiao looked at the Tongtian Cult Master and said, "Teacher, there is one more thing. I don't know if I should say it or not..."
The Tongtian Cult Master looked at Yunxiao and said, "Speak."
