Chapter 120 There are more experts?!
You found Zhao Jingci and gave him the Yin-Yang Reversal Talisman. The moment he saw the talisman, you could feel the temperature around him drop. He told you to wait for him there, and then disappeared.
[You know he went to find Zhao Wuyi. Moments later, the entire Zhao clan was shaken. You were terrified, wondering if they would tear the Zhao family apart.]
Just then, you saw Li Xuance. His gaze was filled with an indescribable meaning. For some reason, goosebumps rose all over your body.
Li Xuance walks towards you and tells you that choosing to believe in their side is the wisest choice, and guarantees your safety.
】
You sneered inwardly. If what they said were true, Ling'er wouldn't have died here.
[You're still completely clueless, not understanding what they're up to. Why don't you just ask Li Xuance directly what secrets you possess?]
However, the other party chose not to answer, which didn't surprise you. You simply chose to sit aside and wait for news.
The great battle you imagined didn't happen; the Zhao family was shaken for a moment, then returned to silence.
You were filled with regret, still hoping this talisman could break the deadlock. Not long after, Zhao Jingci returned, but his expression was unusually grim.
Seeing this, you had no choice but to turn back and return home.
Back inside, Qin Xiyue asked you how things went. You shrugged, indicating you hadn't received anything.
That night, Zhao Mengxi unexpectedly came to see you and said something shocking. She told you she could help you escape the Zhao family. When you asked who was behind her, she only told you it wasn't the two Purple Mansion Ancestors of the Zhao family.
You were startled, realizing this woman wasn't as simple as you'd imagined. You and Qin Xiyue exchanged a glance, and without a second thought, you refused. Who knew how many others were after your body?
Zhao Mengxi looked regretful and told you that you had missed your only chance to live, but you were completely indifferent to it.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. On November 30th, Qin Xiyue mysteriously tells you that she has prepared an escape plan during this month and gives you a jade talisman, which you can crush with a single thought in an emergency.
You felt a chill run down your spine, unable to help but admire Qin Xiyue's strength; even in such a perilous situation, she was able to devise an escape plan. At the same time, you became even more curious about the old man inside her ring.
At midnight, Zhao Wuyi suddenly appeared in your room, followed by Zhao Jingci. The two Purple Mansions exchanged a glance, both able to see the intense hostility in each other's eyes.
Just as the conflict was about to erupt, another figure appeared—it was Li Changqing, a member of the Imperial Purple Mansion who had previously supported True Person Minghao outside Xuan Ce City.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuyi could only sigh and turn to leave. You were led by the two to a mysterious cave. The cave was spacious, surrounded by an endless plain.
They told you that Ling'er's body contained a trace of gold.
As long as you cooperate actively, you can use the fortune that the Zhao family has nurtured in you for sixteen years to cooperate with the grand formation.
Then, by sacrificing the Zhao family's fortune, you will transfer your bloodline and destiny to Li Xuance. Afterward, your life will be guaranteed.
You don't know what the "golden nature" is, but the plot development will greatly disappoint you.
Just as you were about to crush the jade talisman Qin Xiyue had given you to escape, you felt the heavens and earth tremble. A chilling aura instantly spread out.
The two True Immortals of the Purple Mansion Realm changed their expressions drastically upon sensing this aura, and demanded to know who you were and where Zhao Lingji was hidden.
[You were shocked, not understanding why you had been suddenly exposed. The overwhelming pressure of the Purple Mansion cultivator descended upon you, instantly immobilizing you and even sluggish your thoughts. This was the first time you had been suppressed so closely by a Purple Mansion cultivator.]
The disguise of your fake human skin begins to crumble, revealing your true form. Zhao Jingci, seeing this, wants to slap you to death, but Li Changqing stops him.
The two faced off for a fleeting moment, then Li Changqing withdrew his oppressive aura.
The expected death did not come, and you breathed a sigh of relief. You truly hadn't expected Li Changqing to save you; you only thought it might be to repay a favor for thwarting the Youyue Kingdom's conspiracy.
You are led out of the cave, and you see that the sky as far as the eye can see is shrouded in endless, magnificent, and dazzling rays of light, dispelling the darkness and making it as bright as day.
Amidst the rosy glow, cranes cried out, golden lotuses bloomed, and mysterious Taoist sounds echoed faintly.
Li Changqing looked at Zhao Jingci, then at you, and asked what had happened. Just as you were about to lie, he said, "It's all meaningless now; we've failed."
You're completely confused, not understanding what he's talking about. Suddenly, Li Qingyi asks you if Zhao Ling'er is at the Zhengyang Immortal Sect.
So you decided—
First, let's tell the truth.
Second, continue to lie.
Li Qingyi: "???"
"Wait, there are more experts? Why was I exposed so quickly? And what's with this astonishing glow?"
Li Qingyi felt her brain go blank, and for a moment she couldn't react to what was happening.
How did he know that Ling'er was in the Zhengyang Immortal Sect?
For some reason, Li Qingyi felt a sense of unease.
"How many forces were involved in Ling'er's affair?"
Amidst her chaotic thoughts, Li Qingyi's gaze inevitably returned to the options.
Li Changqing's resolute tone at the end made Li Qingyi realize that concealing it might be pointless.
"I choose one."
You revealed the truth to Li Changqing: Ling'er had already been sent back to the Zhengyang Immortal Sect before you came to the Zhao family.
Upon hearing this, he first showed an expression of "I knew it," then grabbed you and distanced himself from Zhao Jingci.
Li Changqing questioned Zhao Jingci about why he betrayed the royal family. Zhao Jingci was momentarily bewildered.
During their conversation, you learn that Zhao Jingci had already placed a secret technique on Ling Ji, which could monitor his movements at all times.
On the day Ling'er was sent away from Xuan Ce City, the secret technique was broken, which startled Zhao Jingci so much that he rushed to Xuan Ce City.
After seeing your disguised spirit, I secretly checked you to make sure everything was alright, and felt it was a false alarm. I then followed you back to the Zhao family home.
"You suddenly asked Zhao Jingci, aren't you afraid that Ling'er has already been switched?" The other party was about to say something when he suddenly came to his senses.
He told Li Changqing that he had most likely been affected by the Golden Core True Monarch's spell that day, causing him to overlook this detail and fail to carefully review his memory.
Seeing that Li Changqing didn't believe him, Zhao Jingci immediately swore an oath to heaven, which dispelled Li Changqing's doubts, but both of their expressions inevitably turned ugly.
You were momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say or what had happened. You asked what the situation was, but neither of them explained.
The waiting process is always agonizing. For three days, the three of you watched the strange phenomenon of the sunset glow in the distance like puppets.
Suddenly, you hear a deep voice coming from a great distance: "Zhang Zhiqing of the Zhengyang Immortal Sect, who has cultivated for over 670 years and endured countless tribulations, has finally been witnessed by Heaven and Earth and has attained the supreme Golden Elixir Dao."
Having achieved great success, I dare not keep it to myself. Therefore, I hereby arrange a Daoist discourse and Dharma assembly at the Zhengyang Immortal Sect after March, to discuss the Dao and expound the Dharma with fellow Daoists, so that all under heaven may rejoice together.
Cultivators from all directions, whether from sects and families or independent practitioners, are welcome to attend the ceremony.
You don't understand why someone can attain the Golden Elixir Path.
In a previous simulation, you lived for over a hundred years and had never experienced anything of this magnitude. Your complexion became even more ashen than the other two Purple Mansion True Lords.
Suddenly, golden light paved the way, and the Daoist principles were naturally formed. A pale golden figure appeared before the three of you, stepping on the golden bridge paved with golden light.
Li Changqing and Zhao Jingci were on high alert, but the golden figure ignored the two Zifu who were on high alert and instead turned slightly towards your direction.
You can't see the person's face clearly. They haven't released any pressure, yet you feel like you can't breathe.
He bowed very politely to you, an insignificant Qi Refining stage cultivator.
"Without your unexpected help, young friend, I would have no hope of achieving the Golden Elixir in this lifetime, and the royal family would most likely have taken my place."
Unfortunately, my young friend is fraught with uncertainty, entangled in fate and shrouded in mystery. These traits are not beneficial to me. The great way seeks stability and dislikes change.
However, kindness must be repaid, and karma must be settled. To completely resolve this karmic debt, and also to express my gratitude to my young friend for his generous assistance—
"Then, young friend, may you ascend to eternal bliss here and return to the Great Dao."
[As soon as the words were spoken, you felt no pain and lost consciousness.]
[You're dead. Rewards are being calculated.]
Li Qingyi: "???"
