What? Li Xiao Knows the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts?

"Help! Help! Yunxiao has gone mad! She's trying to kill this humble Taoist..."

Immortal Chang'er Dingguang tore his throat open and shouted.

Gradually, Immortals of the Jie Sect gathered around. Seeing Yunxiao wielding her sword against Dingguang Immortal, they were all utterly bewildered.

Yunxiao was Tongtian Cult Master's favored disciple, yet she had always been gentle, generous, and exceptionally kind to others. Why would she draw her sword against Dingguang Immortal for no reason?

The two chased and fled across Golden Ao Island.

Just then, a plump taoist emerged.

This plump taoist was none other than Daoist Duobao, the Jie Sect's foremost senior disciple.

"What are you doing?"

Daoist Duobao frowned and asked suspiciously.

When Immortal Chang'er Dingguang saw Daoist Duobao, he was instantly overjoyed. He hurriedly fled to Daoist Duobao's side, cupped his hands, and said, "First Senior Brother, save me! Yunxiao has gone mad. She attacked me with her sword for no reason at all. Please uphold justice for me, First Senior Brother!"

Just then, Yunxiao flew over with her sword in hand.

Daoist Duobao frowned deeply and flashed forward to block Yunxiao. "Junior Sister Yunxiao, stop! Why are you attacking a fellow disciple?"

"First Senior Brother, move aside! I must kill this thief today!"

Yunxiao looked at Daoist Duobao, her lovely face flushed red with urgency as she shouted.

Daoist Duobao was completely confused. He turned to Dingguang Immortal and said, "Junior brother Dingguang Immortal, how did you offend junior sister Yunxiao? Hurry and apologize to her. I’ll mediate and settle this matter..."

Immortal Chang'er Dingguang was nearly crying from anxiety. Trembling, he said, "First Senior Brother, I truly did not offend her! I was traveling outside and happened to see the Three Xiao sisters, so I went over to greet them. Who would have thought that Yunxiao would immediately draw her sword and attack me? If I had not run quickly, I fear I would not be seeing you today, First Senior Brother..."

"You... You did not offend Junior Sister Yunxiao, so why did she draw her sword against you?"

Daoist Duobao frowned, somewhat unwilling to believe Immortal Chang'er Dingguang's words.

After all, Yunxiao was famously good-tempered and well-liked throughout the Jie Sect. How could she possibly draw her sword against Dingguang Immortal without cause?

Dingguang Immortal must have offended Yunxiao and enraged her, prompting her to act like this.

Immortal Chang'er Dingguang looked as though he wanted to cry but had no tears. "First Senior Brother, believe me! I truly did not offend Yunxiao. She really has gone mad. The moment she saw me, she drew her sword..."

"This..."

Daoist Duobao was baffled as well.

After all, judging from Immortal Chang'er Dingguang's appearance, he did not seem to be lying.

At that moment, Qiongxiao and Bixiao also caught up.

"Elder Sister, are you all right?"

Bixiao asked with concern.

Yunxiao shook her head slightly. Cold light flickered in her beautiful eyes as she glared at Immortal Chang'er Dingguang through gritted teeth, clearly having no intention of letting him go.

Daoist Duobao looked at Qiongxiao and Bixiao and asked, "Junior Sisters Qiongxiao and Bixiao, Dingguang Immortal just said that when your eldest sister Yunxiao met him, she drew her sword and attacked him for no reason. Is that true?"

"This..."

Although Qiongxiao and Bixiao wanted to take their elder sister's side, the facts were as they were. The two nodded gently.

"Yunxiao, what exactly happened? Why did you want to draw your sword against Dingguang Immortal?"

Daoist Duobao was even more confused. Looking at Yunxiao, he asked in utter bewilderment.

"Enough! What kind of behavior is all this noisy bickering? Yunxiao, come to Biyou Palace!"

At that moment, Tongtian Cult Master's voice came from the direction of Biyou Palace.

Yunxiao gritted her teeth and glared at Immortal Chang'er Dingguang before finally putting away her immortal sword and heading toward Biyou Palace.

Upon entering Biyou Palace, Yunxiao cupped her hands to Tongtian Cult Master. "This disciple greets Master!"

Tongtian Cult Master looked at Yunxiao with equal confusion and asked, "Yunxiao, what exactly happened? Why are you determined to kill Dingguang Immortal?"

Just earlier, Tongtian Cult Master had used his Dharma Eye to observe the entire sequence of events. Yunxiao had indeed drawn her sword and attacked Dingguang Immortal for no apparent reason. It was truly far too strange.

Tongtian Cult Master knew Yunxiao very well. She was gentle and virtuous by nature, and ordinarily one of his most obedient disciples. Unless something major had happened, Yunxiao would never have done such a thing.

Yet even he, a Saint, could not calculate what exactly had occurred.

Yunxiao hesitated repeatedly and glanced back toward the outside of Biyou Palace.

Tongtian Cult Master swept his sleeve and laid down layer upon layer of restrictions. Looking at Yunxiao, he said, "Yunxiao, now you may speak. With these restrictions in place, even the Saints of All Heavens cannot hear our conversation!"

After hesitating for a moment, Yunxiao cupped her hands to Tongtian Cult Master and said, "Master, Immortal Chang'er Dingguang will betray our Jie Sect in the future. That is why this disciple wished to kill this thief!"

"Immortal Chang'er Dingguang will betray the sect? How... How did you learn this?"

Tongtian Cult Master raised his brows in shock and hurriedly asked.

This matter truly moved Tongtian Cult Master greatly!

After all, betraying the sect was no trivial matter!

What Tongtian Cult Master could not understand was how Yunxiao could be so certain that Immortal Chang'er Dingguang would betray the sect.

Even he, her Saintly master, could not discover this matter by peering into the River of Time.

Moreover, the great tribulation of heaven and earth was approaching, and the heavenly secrets were utterly obscured. How had Yunxiao learned of it?

Yunxiao took a deep breath, looked at Tongtian Cult Master, and cupped her hands. "Master, this disciple learned that Immortal Chang'er Dingguang would betray the sect from my fifth senior brother!"

"Li Xiao?"

Tongtian Cult Master raised his brows and cried out in surprise.

"Yes, Master!"

Yunxiao nodded.

Tongtian Cult Master rolled his eyes and curled his lips. "Yunxiao, if you had received this news from someone else, your master might have believed it. But your fifth senior brother Li Xiao is full of nonsense and speaks without thinking. How can you believe his words?"

Chapter 7: What? Li Xiao Knows the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts?

Clearly, in Tongtian Cult Master's eyes, Li Xiao was a classic "bad disciple."

After all, Li Xiao had previously promised Tongtian Cult Master that he would cultivate properly. Yet after returning, Li Xiao had simply collapsed into bed and slept soundly, standing Tongtian Cult Master up completely.

As a result, Tongtian Cult Master no longer believed anything Li Xiao said.

Yunxiao looked at Tongtian Cult Master and said anxiously, "Master, it was not something Senior Brother Li Xiao said..."

"It was not Li Xiao who said it? But did you not just say that Li Xiao told you? Why are you changing your words now?"

Tongtian Cult Master was somewhat bewildered as well. He looked at Yunxiao speechlessly and asked.

Yunxiao gave a bitter smile and looked at Tongtian Cult Master. "Master, what this disciple is about to say may be... may be too unbelievable. But everything this disciple says is true. Master, you must believe this disciple!"

Tongtian Cult Master nodded. "Yunxiao, speak!"

Yunxiao looked at Tongtian Cult Master, her lovely face twitching violently. "Master, actually... actually, this disciple can hear Senior Brother Li Xiao's inner thoughts!"

"Hear inner thoughts? This..."

Tongtian Cult Master's old face twitched violently. He rolled his eyes and looked at Yunxiao speechlessly. "Yunxiao, this hearing inner thoughts business, you..."

"Master, this disciple knows this matter is far too unbelievable, but it is all true. This disciple has proof!"

Yunxiao knew Tongtian Cult Master would not believe her and hurriedly said.

"Oh? You have proof?"

Tongtian Cult Master became interested as well. Raising his brows, he looked at Yunxiao in disbelief.

Eavesdropping on inner thoughts was far too mystical. Even though Tongtian Cult Master was a Saint, he could not know what someone was thinking. At most, he could peer into the River of Time and observe certain actions.

With a wave of her hand, Yunxiao produced the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation Plate. Looking at Tongtian Cult Master, she said, "Master, when you were expounding the Dao before, this disciple heard Senior Brother Li Xiao say that we three sisters would encounter a stroke of fortune and obtain three treasures. After leaving Golden Ao Island, this disciple tried to search for them, and sure enough, this disciple found the three treasures. This Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation Plate is one of them, while the other two are with my two younger sisters..."

"This... There truly is such a strange thing?"

Tongtian Cult Master cried out in surprise.

Yunxiao gave a bitter smile and looked at Tongtian Cult Master. "Every word this disciple has spoken is true!"

Even Tongtian Cult Master took a long while to recover from the shock of hearing this.

"Li Xiao can actually peer into another person's opportunities... Could it be that this humble Taoist's earlier calculation was correct? The future of my Jie Sect lies with Li Xiao?"

Divine light flickered in Tongtian Cult Master's eyes as he muttered.

When Li Xiao had first arrived in this world, Tongtian Cult Master had calculated that the future of the Jie Sect lay with Li Xiao. That was why Tongtian Cult Master had gone to find Li Xiao and exceptionally accepted him as a personal disciple.

But Li Xiao's subsequent performance had disappointed Tongtian Cult Master greatly. As time passed, Tongtian Cult Master gradually forgot about the matter!

He had believed that perhaps his original calculation had been wrong!

Who would have thought that Yunxiao's words today would leave Tongtian Cult Master deeply shaken?

Li Xiao could actually peer into the heavenly secrets, and with such clarity at that. It truly astonished him.

So his disciple had been hiding his abilities all along, possessing great wisdom beneath a foolish appearance!

"Rebellious disciple! He even deceived his master..."

The more Tongtian Cult Master thought about it, the angrier he became, and he cursed irritably.

After collecting himself for a while, Tongtian Cult Master looked at Yunxiao suspiciously. "But what does this have to do with you attacking Dingguang Immortal?"

Yunxiao's beautiful eyes shone with a strange light as she looked at Tongtian Cult Master. "Master, when this disciple visited Senior Brother Li Xiao before, Dingguang Immortal also went there. Senior Brother Li Xiao was extremely cold toward Dingguang Immortal at the time. Later, this disciple heard Senior Brother Li Xiao's inner thoughts. He said that Dingguang Immortal would betray our Jie Sect in the future, and wondered whether he should kill him. But Senior Brother Li Xiao feared punishment from you, Master, so he did not bother with Dingguang Immortal. Later, when this disciple was returning to Three Immortal Island, I encountered Dingguang Immortal. Thinking that this thief would betray our Jie Sect in the future, this disciple could not restrain herself and... and drew her sword against him. Please punish this disciple, Master!"

"This... Li Xiao's inner thoughts truly said this? Dingguang Immortal will betray our Jie Sect?"

Tongtian Cult Master was still somewhat dazed as he cried out in surprise.

Yunxiao nodded. "Yes, Master. This disciple heard it clearly. There can be no mistake!"

Tongtian Cult Master nodded, divine light flickering in his eyes. After a moment, he looked at Yunxiao and said, "Yunxiao, do not tell Li Xiao yet that you can eavesdrop on his inner thoughts. If you hear anything else, report to your master immediately!"

"Yes, Master!"

Yunxiao hurriedly cupped her hands.

After hesitating for a moment, Yunxiao looked at Tongtian Cult Master and said, "Master, there is one more matter. This disciple does not know whether I should mention it..."

Tongtian Cult Master looked at Yunxiao. "Go on!"
