The Best Way Was to Maintain the Lie
"They're finally out."
Seeing the disciples emerge, the elder of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Before this, people from the Eastern Region came out one after another.
The disciples of their Cloud Heaven Holy Land were placed last.
This is somewhat unpleasant.
At that moment, the elders responsible for maintaining order at the entrance immediately stopped.
Buzz!
The light at the entrance dimmed instantly, becoming somewhat illusory.
The elders immediately stepped forward and asked directly:
"How is the Jiuxiao Man doing?"
Upon hearing this, one of the disciples spoke up:
"Senior Brother Qin hasn't been woken up yet."
The elder's expression darkened slightly, and he immediately leaned forward to stand beside Qin Jiuxiao, placing his palm on Qin Jiuxiao's shoulder.
A moment later, the elder's face turned cold:
"Psychic attack, soul damaged."
At that moment, he took a deep breath and said:
"Return to the Holy Land immediately."
If the wounds of the soul are not healed in time, they may affect one's future spiritual path.
The elders of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land acted extremely quickly.
A few breaths later, the flying boat headed off into the distance.
"This is the Cloud Heaven Holy Land."
Some powerful figures in the Eastern Region couldn't help but shake their heads:
"The Mystic One Sect has helped them so much, and they don't even offer a token of appreciation."
Many people agree with this statement.
The elders of the Mystic One Sect arrived at the exit and activated their power to maintain it.
"You take your disciples back first; we will wait here for the Ancestor to come out."
The elder spoke, and then all the Mystic One Sect disciples were taken back.
On the flying boat of the Five Symbols Sect.
Are there any elders or disciples who haven't come out?
After Cang Wenyu inquired, all parties began to verify the information.
Soon, an elder said:
"The disciples and elders have all come out."
"Good."
Cang Wenyu nodded in satisfaction:
"Return to the sect."
With the Heavenly Azure Ruins closing soon, there's no point in staying any longer.
The Heavenly Azure Ruins are open for one month at a time.
The fact that it ended so early was truly unexpected by all parties.
However, after seeing the change in the light at the exit, the disciples from all sides felt somewhat relieved.
Judging from this, if they don't get out, they're probably really going to be trapped inside and die.
"It's just a pity. I had already found a place that might have good stuff, but I didn't expect this to happen so suddenly."
"Yes, if it hadn't closed so early, I definitely would have gotten much more than this."
"This matter is probably entirely the fault of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land. If they hadn't taken away the Saint's inheritance, this ruin probably wouldn't have been shut down so suddenly."
"I wonder what valuable things the Saint left behind in their legacy."
Although they were relieved, the disciples from all sides still shared the same sense of resentment.
The Cloud Heaven Holy Land got all the benefits, while they were left to suffer huge losses.
To say I wasn't annoyed would be a lie.
On the flying boat.
Qin Jiuxiao's eyelids twitched slightly.
The elder, who was watching closely, quickly spoke up to greet them:
"Jiuxiao, how is it?"
Qin Jiuxiao's body stiffened abruptly, and he almost fell off the bed.
Then, as if realizing something, he opened his eyes with some difficulty.
"How much time has passed? Am I out of the ruins now?"
"Yes."
An elder replied:
"You're safe now. We're heading back to the Holy Land to heal your wounds."
Qin Jiuxiao's expression changed slightly.
Are we going back already?
Does that mean the lineage of Saint is completely hopeless?!
"Jiuxiao, is there anything else?"
Upon seeing this, the elder immediately inquired.
Qin Jiuxiao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Then he asked:
"What happened after I was attacked and knocked unconscious?"
The elder nodded and then briefly recounted what he had learned.
"The Sword King of the Mystic One Sect?"
"Ruins collapsed, entrance closed?"
After listening, Qin Jiuxiao's brows furrowed like a twisted rope:
"Does that mean we can never get in again?"
"Yes," the elder nodded with a smile.
"However, now that you have received the inheritance, there is no need for you to go in again."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiuxiao's expression stiffened slightly.
What a load of rubbish!
It's all fake; aside from its strong effects, it offers absolutely no benefits.
At this moment, an elder asked:
"What are the legacies of the Heavenly Azure Saint the Jiuxiao Heavens?"
In that instant, Qin Jiuxiao's thoughts raced.
He is well aware of his current situation.
Everyone else thought they had received the legacy of Saint.
But only he knew that there was nothing at all.
However, you could choose to tell the elders the truth.
But that would be very disadvantageous to myself.
The Holy Land went to such great lengths, even lending us Sacred Artifact.
In the end, they got nothing.
What will the elders think? What will the Holy Lord and the others think?
Competing for the position of Holy Son will be extremely difficult.
In that case, the best course of action is to maintain the lie.
Since the entrance to the ruins is now closed, it's impossible to enter again.
At that moment, Qin Jiuxiao smiled and said:
"Reporting to the Elder, the Heavenly Azure Saint's legacy contains a great deal of information, but unfortunately, we were attacked shortly after receiving it, and we haven't had time to study it in detail."
After a pause, Qin Jiuxiao seemed to remember something and changed the subject:
"At that assessment site, I used the Soul-Severing Needle Disk to collect a wisp of the Heavenly Azure Saint's remnant soul, which may be of some use to the Holy Land."
As he spoke, Qin Jiuxiao was about to take out the Soul-Severing Needle Disk.
However, his expression suddenly froze the next moment.
The storage ring is still the same storage ring.
But at this moment, the vast space inside was completely empty!
How is that possible?!
Let me take another look.
It is indeed empty!
Qin Jiuxiao's expression immediately changed drastically.
He had stored so many things in this storage ring, yet he hadn't left anything for himself.
Moreover, the Soul-Severing Needle Disk has also disappeared without a trace!
As for other things, they're gone if they're lost.
But this is Sacred Artifact!
Sacred Artifact!!!
It ended up in my own hands!
In an instant, Qin Jiuxiao felt a chill run down his spine.
We're going back to that holy place.
It's a complete and utter disaster!
"Jiuxiao, has something gone wrong with the Soul-Severing Needle Disk?"
The elder beside him suddenly became serious.
Judging from Qin Jiuxiao's current change in expression, even a fool could see it.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became extremely heavy.
This is no small matter.
This time, Qin Jiuxiao took a long time to finally speak.
He nodded, his expression revealing anger:
"It wasn't just the Sacred Artifact; everything in my storage ring, including the inheritance from the Saint I received, was taken away."
As he spoke, Qin Jiuxiao took off the storage ring from his hand.
The elders all went to investigate.
When they sensed that the storage ring was completely empty, all the elders' faces darkened.
Not only were the Sacred Artifact lost, but the legacy of the Saint was also taken away.
Who could it be?
This is what all the elders want to know most right now.
At this moment, Qin Jiuxiao took a deep breath, looked at the elder beside him, and asked:
"The elder just said that the Sword King of the Mystic One Sect dealt with those who attacked me?"
The elder nodded. "That's what I said."
"Did they witness the entire process?" Qin Jiuxiao asked again.
The elder shook his head:
"According to them, when the Sword King made his move, all perception and observation were cut off, and they had no way of knowing exactly what happened."
As he spoke, the gazes of the Elder Zhou narrowed slightly.
A guess was about to emerge in their minds.
