Chapter 14: The Soul Seals Plate (IX)

Before the elders realized it, Xie Changzhou and Sui Ning had already left with their flying swords.

Sui Ning looked at Xie Changzhou, who was calm and collected, and couldn’t help but ask him, “Jianzun, where are we going?”

Although she had a poor sense of direction, she keenly sensed that this seemed to be the way back to the Limitless Sword Sect. But wasn’t Xie Changzhou supposed to be looking for the spirit herb? Why go back to the sect?

Xie Changzhou’s face was clear, and his eyes were gentle and calm as he turned to Sui Ning and said, “We’re going back to the Limitless Sword Sect. Shen Jie’s use of demonic energy to transform an ancient immortal is not a small matter. It concerns the safety of all living beings, and we must discuss it with the elders in the sect.”

Sui Ning understood and looked at Xie Changzhou with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Indeed, he was the White Jade Sword Saint, always putting the safety of all living beings first.

However, it was almost the night of the full moon. Xie Changzhou’s spiritual energy would certainly be sluggish outside, so it would be safer to return to Wenjian Peak.

The Wenjian Peak was surrounded by wisps of white mist, and its tall and steep peak was like a fairy mountain.

It’s still the cutest little tiger, but it’s a pity that it came to find Sui Ning first instead of its owner. Sui Ning even said it had gained weight.

Ah Yan expressed that it would give Sui Ning the silent treatment for a day to show this woman the dignity of an ancient divine beast!

Xie Changzhou found it amusing, bent down to pick it up, and gently stroked Ah Yan in his arms. Then he handed it over to Sui Ning, who had been eagerly waiting on the side.

Ah Yan: [?]

Sui Ning smiled and took the sulking Ah Yan.

Xie Changzhou looked at Sui Ning and said in a clear voice, “Miss Ningning, I’ll leave you here. I have something to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”

Sui Ning nodded and pressed Ah Yan, who was struggling in her arms, while saying, “Jianzun, go take care of your business. I’ll take care of Ah Yan.”

Xie Changzhou nodded and said, “Okay.”

Ah Yan struggled hard to break free from Sui Ning’s embrace: [Master, take me away!]

Xie Changzhou didn’t even turn his head and left with a tall and straight back, leaving behind an image of ruthlessness, just like a cheap dad abandoning his child.

Ah Yan was heartbroken: [Master]

Damn, why is Sui Ning, a female cultivator in the Golden Core stage, so strong!

In the Mingjing Hall, Xie Changzhou sat on the high platform, with several elders of the Limitless Sword Sect sitting on both sides below.

Xie Changzhou’s face was solemn as he slowly spoke: “Miss Ningning and I went to the Xianyou Secret Realm to find the Soul Seal Plate, where we encountered the ancient immortal Lord Ling Lang and his wife Empress Chan Yu.”

As soon as he spoke, the chief of the Tingjian Peak, Lu Guan, sitting in the first seat below, was surprised and said, “Didn’t Lord Ling Lang and Empress Chan Yu already fall?”

Xie Changzhou nodded and looked at several elders sitting below with a serious expression in his azure eyes.

“This is what I want to discuss with you all,” he paused and continued in a cold tone, “the divine senses left by the Emperor Ling Lang has been corrupted, causing the spirit beasts in the entire secret realm to become corrupted and resulting in the deaths of many disciples.”

“And the one responsible for corrupting the Emperor is Shen Jie.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a low exclamation in the Mingjing Hall, and the elders were shocked.

“How could it be? What does Shen Jie want to do?”

“How could Shen Jie have the ability to corrupt an ancient immortal?”

The elders whispered to each other, and the elder Fu Ling, who had been sitting silently at the back, finally spoke up, “He wants to eliminate the outstanding disciples of the major sects and undermine the future main force of the cultivation world.”

Fu Ling looked up at Xie Changzhou on the high platform, his brows furrowed and his voice low. “What’s more serious is that if the ancient Emperor becomes corrupted, even the Sword Saint would find it difficult to completely suppress him when the Xian You Secret Realm is opened.”

The whole Mingjing Hall instantly fell silent.

When a cultivator becomes corrupt, their power can be several times stronger than usual, let alone that of an ancient Emperor who was once number one in the Upper Realm, the Emperor Ling Lang .

Ling Lang was born with a celestial body and had a cultivation of tens of thousands of years. He was the number one combat force in the Upper Realm. Even if it was just a strand of his divine sense, it would be comparable to the cultivation of a powerful cultivator who had crossed the tribulation after becoming corrupted.

When Xie Changzhou was exhausted from dealing with Ling Lang, Shen Jie could lead the demon world forward without any constraints.

After realizing this, Lu Guan, the master of the Tianjian Peak, directly smashed his teacup on the ground, making a crisp sound that stood out in the quiet hall.

His white beard fluttered as he angrily cursed, “Damn demon realm!”

Shen Jie has half-human blood but chooses to lead the demon realm to slaughter on a large scale, which is absolutely unforgivable!

Xie Changzhou’s clear voice sounded: “I still have to ask the elders to inform the heads of the major sects, and they must take action to investigate the sects and protect their disciples.”

“And, the Heroes Assemblage in the third month of the lunar year will be cancelled, and disciples of all sects do not need to come to participate in the assemblage.”

Several elders below quickly stood up and bowed with their hands together, “Yes, Sword Saint.”

After the elders left, Xie Changzhou stood with his hands behind his back in front of the hall, with a tall and straight posture like a pine tree.

With a wave of his sleeve, a water curtain appeared in the void, reflecting the scene of the Gu Su town at the foot of the mountain.

On the spacious streets, vendors were enthusiastically selling their goods, and the people passing by had rosy and peaceful faces. Children chased and ran with each other, and everything was calm and peaceful.

Gu Su was protected by the limitless Sword Sect and had never been invaded by demons. The people lived peacefully.

Xie Changzhou’s eyebrows were distant, and his crystal-colored eyes were full of compassion and warmth, looking softly at the water curtain.

This was the prosperous era that the master wanted.

He also remembered what his master often taught him.

The master said: “Zi Yue, there must always be someone on this high platform. In order for more people to reunite with their families, no matter what the cost, we must guard the people well.”

Later, his master did indeed fulfill his destiny and save the lives of the people in a whole city with his own life.

This was his master’s fate, and perhaps it would also become his own.

On Wenjian Peak,

Ah Yan was still angry about Sui Ning’s comment on its weight and turned around to face away from her. No matter how Sui Ning called it out to her, it ignored her.

Sui Ning: “…”

It really had a temper.

The system began to make snide comments: [You’re done for. Ah Yan is Xie Changshou’s spirit beast. If you offend it, it will tell on you, and Xie Changshou will manipulate your image and turn you into a wicked woman. Do you still want to pursue Xie Changshou?] 

Sui Ning: “Get lost.”

The system promptly went offline.

Seeing Ah Yan still curled up in the corner with its round buttocks facing her, Sui Ning felt a little helpless. She reached out and gently stroked Ah Yan’s smooth and soft fur.

She coaxed it with a good temper: “Ah, Yan, I’ll roast a rabbit for you to eat.”

Ah Yan’s little ears twitched.

Sui Ning continued her pursuit of victory, saying, “We’ll grill as many as you want, Ah Yan. We’ll brush them with sauce and marinate them, wrap them in my carefully prepared dipping sauce, and they’ll be full of delicious flavor when you bite into them.”

Ah Yan’s small butt shifted slightly, but it still didn’t turn its head.

Sui Ning: “…”

can’t even win this over?

It’s been seven days since they parted, and she has a newfound admiration for Ah Yan’s integrity.

Sui Ning hesitated for a moment, but finally convinced herself to make a decision: “Ah Yan, I’ll grill you another snake. You like snake meat, don’t you? Last time, it was my fault that I threw away the snake you worked so hard to catch. I’ll make it up to you this time.”

Ah Yan suddenly turned its head and bit onto Sui Ning’s clothes with its sharp teeth, making excited howling sounds.

It decided to love this woman once again!

When Xie Changzhou walked into Sui Ning’s small courtyard, there was no one there.

He was a little helpless. Sui Ning was probably taking Ah Yan up the mountain to catch rabbits again.

He wondered if there were enough rabbits on the mountain for the two of them to eat for a few days.

He shook his head and decided to go find her personally. There were some things he needed to say to her directly.

As Xie Changzhou walked up halfway to the back mountain, he heard the fearful yet excited voice of Sui Ning, mixed with the enthusiastic howl of Ah Yan.

He looked up and was immediately stunned.

Sui Ning was surrounded by some bound rabbits, with her sleeves rolled up to her arm, digging the soil with a pickaxe. Ah yan was standing beside her, staring at the soil hole, waiting vigilantly.

Suddenly, she shouted, “Ah Yan, I see it! Hurry up!”

Ah Yan quickly put his head into the hole and pulled out a black thing with his front paws.

Sui Ning quickly stood up and said, “Ah Yan, kill it quickly!”

Ah Yan held onto the thing tightly with his paws and bit its head off with his sharp teeth.

Sui Ning excitedly praised him: “Ah Yan is amazing!”

Ah Yan howled in response.

Xie Changzhou thought to himself, “Am I seeing things? That’s a snake. Although the animals in this back mountain are still wild and can be hunted for food, when did Sui Ning start digging snake holes like Ah Yan?”

“Are there not enough rabbits on this mountain?” he wondered to himself, contemplating whether to send someone down to Gu Su Town to buy more.

But with the speed at which Sui Ning and Ah Yan were catching rabbits, even if he were to buy two more litters, it might not be enough.

Sui Ning held a handful of rabbits in one hand and Batian in the other, while Ah Yan excitedly followed her, holding the snake he had just caught in his mouth.

As she turned around, she noticed Xie Changzhou not far away. His brow was furrowed, and she could sense some inner conflict in his otherwise handsome and refined features.

“Jianzun?” she called out to him softly, and Xie Changzhou quickly snapped out of his thoughts.

“Ah, Miss Sui Ning,” he replied.

Surprised by his presence, Sui Ning asked him, “What brings Jianzun here?”

Noticing Xie Changzhou’s gaze falling on the rabbits she was holding, Sui Ning hurriedly explained, “These rabbits are for Ah Yan’s barbecue. We’ll be more careful not to catch too many in the future.”

Feeling a bit guilty for catching rabbits and picking fruits on someone else’s mountain every day, Sui Ning worried that she might have destroyed the ecological diversity of the area and that Xie Changzhou might be angry.

Seeing that she had misunderstood something, Xie Changzhou was taken aback for a moment, but then a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he reassured her, “I’m not angry that Miss Sui Ning is catching rabbits. If Miss Sui Ning wants to catch any of the unenlightened spiritual beings on this mountain, she can.”

The nervous expression on Sui Ning’s face immediately relaxed, and her eyes curled as she smiled.

She knew it all along—there’s no way Xie Changzhou would be so petty.

Sui Ning looked at Xie Changzhou with a smile in her eyes and asked in a light and cheerful tone, “Did Jianzun come to me for something?”

Xie Changshou nodded slightly and said, “I came to discuss the matter of the Soul Seal Plate with Miss Sui Ning.”

“Did something happen to the Soul Seal Plate?” Sui Ning asked.
