"Junior brother, how should we explain the matter of the Weapon Art to my the Final Master?" Lu Xueqi asked Ling Yi from her Flying Sword. Their original purpose in coming out for training was to find a reasonable reason for the appearance of the Weapon Art.
As a result of all this fuss, the actual issue was overlooked.
"To be honest, it won't be long before the truth about the Weapon Art is exposed."
"Why?" Lu Xueqi asked, puzzled.
"The Seven Peaks Martial Tournament soon. I suspect that Cangsong will likely find a reason to launch an attack, and it's even possible that the war between good and evil will begin from there."
The possibility that Cangsong launched his attack prematurely is too high. Tian Buyi and others were able to notice his unusual behavior, so how could Cangsong himself not know?
If he had already anticipated being exposed, he would definitely have launched an attack beforehand.
Although Tian Buyi and his group were well-prepared, Cangsong and the Ghost King were no pushovers either, and with so many schemes involved, the outcome was hard to predict.
In the original novel, the Qingyun Sect suffered heavy losses and was severely Genki in the first war between the righteous and the demonic forces.
Many elders perished, and Daoxuan was severely injured.
It was precisely because of Daoxuan's serious injury that the backlash from the Zhu Xian Sword was foreshadowed.
"What are you planning to do?" Lu Xueqi asked.
"We'll see then; I guess we'll have to beat him up first."
Lu Xueqi rolled her eyes. She figured only this person in front of her would dare to say such a thing, and only he could actually do it.
Over the past month, Lu Xueqi has gained a completely new understanding of Ling Yi's strength.
In four words, it is unfathomable; in two words, it is invincible.
Since Ling Yi said so, Lu Xueqi stopped thinking about it.
The two passed through the protective array of the Qingyun Sect and flew into the Qingyun Sect in front of countless people.
Upon reaching Big Bamboo Peak, they parted ways.
This scene was witnessed clearly by everyone on Big Bamboo Peak, and after Ling Yi landed, they all looked at Ling Yi with strange eyes.
"Junior Brother Ling Yi, you didn't go out on a training trip with Senior Sister Lu, did you?" Song Daren asked Eight Trigrams.
"What, is that not allowed?" Ling Yi said with a smile.
"This isn't a question of whether it's possible or not; it's that you're in deep trouble. Countless disciples covet Senior Sister Lu, and now that you've gained the upper hand, she'll likely become the target of everyone's ire."
"Moreover, Master Shuiyue is a formidable opponent."
"Where's Xiaofan?" Ling Yi asked, changing the subject.
" Xiaofan Brother Xiao Fan, Junior Brother Du Bishu, and Ling'er Sister Ling'er have also gone down the mountain for training."
"Oh? Xiaofan has reached the Object Manipulation Realm?"
"Yes, you don't know, Xiaofan Brother Xiao Fan has Divine Speed progress in the past month. He reached the Object Manipulation Realm not long after you left."
The plot has been moved forward significantly. Originally, Zhang Xiaofan only left the mountain after the Seven Peaks Martial Tournament.
"Did Ling'er Sister Ling'er also go down the mountain?" Ling Yi asked with a somewhat strange expression.
"To be precise, Ling'er Sister Ling'er ran away from home."
This pace... could it be that Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Ling'er will form a new couple?
It's said that Zhang Xiaofan had a crush on Tian Ling'er from the beginning, so it would be a good thing if they could become a couple.
"What else has happened this past month?" Ling Yi asked again.
" Xiao Yicai, the Eldest Senior Brother of Tongtian Peak, was Sneak Attack and nearly seriously injured. The attacker was dressed in black, possessed extremely high cultivation, and his origins are unknown."
"When Senior Brother Qi Hao from Dragon Head Peak went out for training, he was besieged by the Demonic Sect. Fortunately, he was rescued by a grandmother and grandson, otherwise he would probably have died on the spot."
"According to Senior Brother Qi Hao, the grandfather and grandson were not highly skilled, but they could wield a hundred swords, and their techniques were extremely unique."
Could it be Zhou Yixian and his grandson? It's not impossible. Ling Yi taught them the Weapon Art, and the method of controlling a hundred swords should be the Weapon Art. Those aren't real Flying Sword, but weapons formed from the Art of Weapon Art.
"But for some reason, after Senior Brother Qi Hao returned, he was placed in Lockdown by Uncle Cangsong and has not emerged since."
Lockdown? Why solitary Lockdown? Did Qi Hao discover Cangsong's secret?
Is there anything else?
"And another thing? And you're in trouble! Greetings, the Final Master! Greetings, Mistress!" Song Daren bowed to Ling Yi's back.
Ling Yi turned around and saw Tian Buyi staring at him with a dark expression.
"Good lad, you've really grown some guts, daring to sneak down the mountain!"
"Ahem, the Final Master, I've gained a lot from this trip down the mountain, and I've even made a breakthrough in my Weapon Art!"
Ling Yi immediately shifted the topic to the Weapon Art. He knew that Tian Buyi must have learned about the power of the Weapon Art during this time, and his curiosity about Weapon Art far outweighed everything else.
Sure enough, Tian Buyi's expression changed as soon as Ling Yi said that.
His already dark face became extremely solemn.
"Come with me!"
The three returned to their residence, Su Ru asked first, "What's going on between you and Lu Xueqi from Small Bamboo Peak?"
Seeing Ling Yi's awkward smile, Su Ru asked again, "You and your Senior Sister Lu went down the mountain for training, wasn't that a promise?"
"Nothing can be hidden from Master's wife."
"You even handed over the Weapon Art to that girl?"
"Yes!"
"Foolish! Weapon Art are of utmost importance. How dare you spread them out without authorization?" Tian Buyi frowned and rebuked.
" The Final Master, if I don't want to learn this Weapon Formula, others can't learn it even if they want to. Besides, Senior Sister Lu isn't an outsider."
Tian Buyi agreed with this point. After Su Ru obtained the Weapon Formula, he also tried to practice it himself, but what seemed simple to Su Ru was something he just couldn't do no matter what.
"I'm afraid Master Shuiyue won't approve of your relationship with Lu Xueqi. She already harbors many grudges against our Big Bamboo Peak, and now her precious disciple has been stolen away by a disciple of our Big Bamboo Peak. Tsk tsk, with Master Shuiyue's temper, you're going to have a hard time."
"Master's wife, why is Master Shuiyue dissatisfied with Big Bamboo Peak?"
Su Ru smiled awkwardly and said, "Those were all foolish things I did when I was young."
Tian Buyi, on the other hand, had an arrogant expression on his face, as if he had done something extraordinary.
Ling Yi couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
Su Ru and Master Shuiyue are true sisters from the same sect, and their relationship should be extremely good.
If there's any rift between sisters, it's most likely due to emotional conflicts.
For example, two people both fall in love with the same person.
Of course, this person couldn't be Tian Buyi.
Master Shuiyue liked Wan Jianyi, so could it be that Su Ru also liked Wan Jianyi back then?
This is highly likely. After all, Wan Jianyi back then was a peerless hero, outstanding and Xiaosa, and was probably the object of every girl's secret crush in the Qingyun Sect at that time.
The reason Tian Buyi looked so arrogant was probably because he was smug about finally winning the heart of his beloved.
"It's alright, I believe Master Shuiyue is quite easy to talk to, besides, I'm so outstanding."
"Pfft, who praises themselves like that?" Su Ru laughed.
"Did you encounter any danger during this training?" Su Ru asked again.
"Hmph, what danger could he possibly be in? With his strange Qi Sea and now the addition of the Weapon Art, I'm afraid even I might not be a match for this brat," Tian Buyi sneered.
"You brat, you gave the Weapon Art to your master's wife but not to your master. Do you have a problem with your master?"
Ling Yi chuckled, "How could I dare!"
With that, Ling Yi divided the Weapon Art inheritance into two parts and sent them into the Sea of Consciousness of Tian Buyi and Su Ru respectively.
This scene shocked both Tian Buyi and Su Ru, just like You Ji had been back then.
The Sea of Consciousness is the most important source of a cultivator's soul. Unless there is a huge difference in cultivation level, it would be impossible for someone like Ling Yi to easily break through the other's Primordial Spirit and imprint memories.
"Master's wife, some of these are new techniques that I've learned recently."
"Your cultivation level..."
" The Final Master, Mistress, Ling Yi will always be a disciple of Big Bamboo Peak, please rest assured."
Su Ru nodded and said, "I have never doubted that. It's good. The Qingyun Sect is going through a turbulent time right now. With your cultivation level, you will surely be able to turn the tide at a critical moment."
"Is it serious?" Ling Yi asked.
" The Ghost King Sect now very active in the Mount Liubo. I wonder what they're plotting. Cangsong's actions are becoming increasingly blatant and obsessive."
Su Ru did not hide anything from Ling Yi about these matters.
"Despite our numerous arrangements, the younger generation of the Qingyun Sect has not yet matured and lacks experience, making them unsuitable for important tasks. If a major upheaval occurs, the consequences could be unimaginable," Tian Buyi said solemnly.
"Now that we have this Weapon Art, we have some confidence. However, should we inform our senior brother, the Weapon Art?" Tian Buyi asked.
After pondering for a moment, Su Ru said, "It's best to keep it a secret!"
Clearly, Su Ru did not fully trust Daoxuan.
"I'm afraid my senior brother, the sect leader, will be dissatisfied then."
Ling Yi interjected, " The Final Master, strength is the fundamental factor that determines everything."
Tian Buyi nodded; he naturally understood this principle as well.
" The Seven Peaks Martial Tournament is in six months. What are your thoughts?" Su Ru asked again.
"I will definitely participate. I'm worried that if Xiaofan's Great Brahman Prajna is exposed, Uncle Cangsong might use it as an excuse to cause trouble. Rather than that, I'd rather expose my Weapon Art first. If he dares to cause trouble, then I, his junior brother, will teach him a lesson first."
"Hmph, how arrogant! Today, I'll test your mettle."
" The Final Master, isn't this inappropriate?"
"Enough talk, come with me!"
While Ling Yi was fighting Tian Buyi, on Small Bamboo Peak, Lu Xueqi had been battling Master Shuiyue for quite some time.
Lu Xueqi didn't have Ling Yi's amplification aura, and the power of her Weapon Art wasn't increased a hundredfold. Even so, she still managed to fight Master Shuiyue to a standstill.
The endless stream of techniques Weapon Art kept Shuiyue constantly at a disadvantage. In particular, this Clone Technique was simply unreasonable. Five or six Clone used the Divine Sword Lightning Control True Formula together, which even Master Shuiyue dared not withstand head-on.
"Alright, let's stop!" Master Shuiyue finally had no choice but to withdraw her magical Magic Power.
"Was this Weapon Art truly created by that brat Ling Yi himself?"
"Yes!"
Are you his match now?
Lu Xueqi shook her head.
"Hmph, go into seclusion and cultivate diligently. If your cultivation reaches the Upper Purity Realm, I will not be your match today."
"The Seven Peaks Martial Tournament in six months. During this time, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
