The Nine Heavens Rainbow Wind Clan
In high spirits, Hu Liena covered her Wumei, alluring red lips with her hand and said with a radiant smile, "My teacher told me that, according to the information she gathered, the last place your parents were seen was the ruins of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Wind Clan. Do you know where the Nine Heavens Rainbow Wind Clan ruins are?"
As Yu Tianshuang strolled through the streets of Spirit City with Hu Liena, who was inexplicably in high spirits, he heard the information she shared. This made Yu Tianshuang feel as if something was connecting to the story.
According to Bibi Dong's intelligence, after the former Pope Qian Xunji injured, he ordered the capture of Lingling's mother from the Undying Sect to treat him. However, an accident occurred en route, resulting in Lingling's mother's death. This was the trigger. After all, the Lower Three Sects were closely allied, and having already offended the Undying Sect, it was better to offend them all. Yet, for some unknown reason, he then targeted the Nine Heavens Rainbow Wind Clan to seize their secret techniques. This is highly illogical, as it couldn't possibly be to prevent retaliation from the Lower Three Sects. The Spirit Hall's power was so terrifying that it wouldn't even consider the Lower Three Sects a threat.
The key question now is: why did the previous Pope, Qian Xunji, insist on seizing the secret techniques of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Wind Clan? My parents went to their aid, which is why they are now missing and their fate is unknown.
All these clues now point to a crucial point: why does Qian Xunji need the secret techniques of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Wind Clan? And it's true that my parents, according to Hu Liena, last appeared at the ruins of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Wind Clan. So what is their current situation? Are they alive or dead? Why haven't we heard from them for so many years?
Hu Liena looked at Yu Tianshuang, who was deep in thought beside her. His angular face was so captivating because of his serious thinking, which made Hu Liena's pretty face blush slightly. She didn't say anything, but only stole a glance from time to time.
"Did your teacher tell you why the previous Pope needed the secret techniques of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Wind Clan?"
Knowing that this information was crucial to unraveling the mystery, he was still somewhat shaken when he recalled Bibi Dong's outburst of anger when he first asked her the question. However, he figured that Bibi Dong could have Hu Liena come and tell him again, she probably wouldn't be so flustered.
"Huh? What? I don't know. The teacher asked me to tell you. There's no information about this. But I think if you want to know, you should ask him yourself."
Thinking about what her teacher had told her before she left, and realizing she really didn't have any information about it, Hu Liena could only say helplessly.
Should I ask myself? I already asked myself, sigh.
"Okay, fine. Since you don't know, then forget it. What else is it? Tell me quickly. I haven't joined the Spirit Hall yet, and walking with you, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, on the street will inevitably attract gossip."
Looking at Yu Tianshuang's oblivious and impatient manner beside her, Hu Liena felt a surge of anger, but then she remembered how he had walked quickly to her side with a slightly flushed face, and her mood suddenly improved.
"I know what happened between your Skywater Academy Team and Shrek Academy in the Heaven Dou Division. This has resulted in you only having four people participating in the finals. So, think about what I'm about to say."
Hu Liena suddenly brought up the grudges between them and Shrek Academy again, which made Yu Tianshuang's mind replay the image of Senior Sister Bing'er and the others lying weak and powerless in their hospital beds. The bloodshot in his eyes quietly crept up again.
The perceptive Hu Liena noticed his unusual behavior. For some reason, she felt a strange sense of worry and heartache. Stealing a glance out of the corner of her eye, she saw that one of his once deep blue eyes was now bloodshot. This made Hu Liena feel a pang of heartache and regret. Although it was their first meeting, she was certain that he was indeed as the intelligence described—cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and extremely loyal. Why had she brought this up? She had truly made herself look foolish.
"Oh, please don't be like this. Listen to me first. I didn't mean to bring this up, but what I'm about to say is unavoidable in this matter. Please calm down first."
Yu Tianshuang himself knew that his condition was getting worse and worse. According to what he had learned in his previous life, he had developed a demon in his heart. Coincidentally, the fourth stage of cultivation was the Heart Movement Heart Stirring Stage. During this period, demons would arise and all love, hate and grudges would be amplified. If one could get through it, one would Core Formation Stage stage. If one could not, one would be tormented by demons for life. At best, one would be stuck in the Heart Movement Heart Stirring Stage forever and unable to progress. At worst, one's cultivation would regress, and one would die and one's Dao would be extinguished.
Although the laws of this world severely suppress the power of the cultivation system, everything in the world exists in a balance. While the power is suppressed by the laws of the world, many of the negative effects are not so fatal, so it can be considered both a blessing and a curse.
Silently circulating the Ice Heaven Sword Scripture to alleviate the negative effects of her inner demons, the bloodshot in her eyes faded in no time. Yu Tianshuang let out a long sigh and said, "You said the last place my parents appeared was the ruins of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Wind Clan. But my maternal grandfather went there after recovering from his injuries when he returned from Spirit City, and there was no trace of him, only the ruins Destruction by your Spirit Hall."
Hearing this, Hu Liena said somewhat angrily, "What do you mean by 'your Spirit Hall'? It'll soon be our Spirit Hall! You need to change your mindset. Besides, the Spirit Hall back then wasn't like it is now. My teacher's Elder Hall and Worship Hall were mutually restraining each other. Under the previous Pope's rule, the Spirit Hall was a unified entity, but that was all his doing. What does it have to do with me, my teacher, or the current Spirit Hall? You can't generalize."
Although Hu Liena's words were somewhat annoyed, this woman, who was charming to the core, made people feel comfortable even when she was angry. This made Yu Tianshuang want to continue to provoke her.
But he quickly suppressed the thought. Just then, on a street corner not far away, several kittens were huddled together in the shadows.
Just as Yu Tianshuang was about to speak, she noticed the alluring woman beside her walking quickly over and skillfully taking out some food from a bag at her waist.
Yu Tianshuang watched as Hu Liena, who hadn't even reached the kittens huddled together yet, was excitedly surrounded by the kittens who had smelled her scent. Suddenly, she felt a Sisi sense of unease, as well as a feeling that it was only natural.
Seeing how familiarly the kittens circled around her, it was clear this wasn't her first time feeding them. He'd followed her the whole way; was she doing this on purpose? Was she trying to make him think she was incredibly kind, and then deliberately coming a few days early to feed the kittens so he wouldn't suspect anything?
To be honest, Hu Liena was the most feminine person he had ever met, apart from the aloof Pope Bibi Dong. In terms of looks and temperament alone, Senior Sister Bing'er and the others were comparable to her, but Hu Liena possessed a captivating charm that she exuded at all times, something they lacked. So why did she specifically come to him to tell him about her parents, and what was her purpose in acting like this now?
