So, to be precise, their Old Ancestor had not gone into the depths of the starry sky of her own accord at all.
He Xixiang had sent her flying there with a single elbow strike.
And now, this Old Ancestor had quite a grievance.
Because whoever had attacked Lü Qingyi back then had nothing to do with their Taiyin Sacred Land.
Yet the attacker had used Taiyin energy.
"Over the years, have the Taiyin Sacred Land and the Divine Firmament Sword Sect been at daggers drawn?"
The Taiyin Saintess shook her head.
"Not really. Although relations were poor, they never reached the point of a life-or-death feud."
But the Taiyin Saintess still found it somewhat hard to believe.
"You're saying that by the time Lü Qingyi was about to break through, you already had a Quasi-Emperor's physique?"
The Taiyin Old Ancestor nodded.
"That's right, but I really wasn't the one who attacked her. She sent me flying with a single slap of her sword. How could I possibly have struck her down?"
The Taiyin Saintess said, "Perhaps you did that on purpose to lull Lü Qingyi into a false sense of security, then deal her a fatal blow at the critical moment!"
The Taiyin Old Ancestor was beside herself with anger. "How can you assume such dark things about people?"
The Taiyin Saintess chuckled.
"As if there haven't been enough dark deeds. These days, apart from the Divine Firmament Sword Sect, everywhere under heaven is a cesspool. Trusting anyone could cost you your life."
The Taiyin Old Ancestor was at a loss, too.
"Well, it wasn't me."
Meanwhile, Ying Huaixu found Lü Qingyi increasingly formidable.
You mean Lü Qingyi was already crippled back then, yet she dragged her broken body back to the peak?
How much perseverance would that take!
