Chapter 1254: Chapter 1250: Return

Zhu Lingyun frowned, ”All disciples within the sect activate this treasure?”

”The power of this treasure is astonishing, one or a few people cannot wield it. The more people, the better.” Zheng Pingzhang said excitedly, ”The more people, the stronger the power.”

”Then include them in this as well?” Zhu Lingyun pointed to the valley.

Zheng Pingzhang helplessly said, ”Their mental method is different, they can’t help yet.”

”Then let them first modify their mental method. Once they can help, we will activate that treasure,” Zhu Lingyun said, ”strive to unleash the treasure’s power to its fullest, for a one-hit kill.”

”Divine Venerable, this...” Zheng Pingzhang hesitated, ”It’s too slow, isn’t it?”

”Good food is not afraid of being late.” Zhu Lingyun said, ”Chu Zhiyuan is so hard to kill, it’s best to ensure absolute success.”

”This...” Zheng Pingzhang smiled bitterly.

Ji Qingyun said solemnly, ”Since the Divine Venerable has instructed, we shall do as told!”

Zheng Pingzhang helplessly said, ”Alright, then postpone for a few days, first let these guys change their mental method.”

Ji Qingyun nodded.

Zhu Lingyun slowly said, ”As we part ways, I advise you all.”

Ji Qingyun hurriedly said, ”Is the Divine Venerable leaving now?”

Zhu Lingyun said, ”The hour has arrived, even if I want to stay, I cannot.”

”Is there no other way?” Ji Qingyun asked.

Zhu Lingyun shook his head, ”I can only blame my carelessness, and bad luck, it’s too late to say anything now.”

”It’s all my fault!” Ji Qingyun showed self-blame.

Zhu Lingyun waved his hand, and said indifferently, ”I advise you all, don’t rush to deal with this Chu Zhiyuan.”

Ji Qingyun pondered, and slowly said, ”Does the Divine Venerable mean... we can’t kill him?”

”Difficult.” Zhu Lingyun said, ”He’s not that easy to handle.”

Zheng Pingzhang asked, ”Has the Divine Venerable seen him?”

Zhu Lingyun snorted, ”If it were so easy to handle, I would have killed him already.”

Ji Qingyun’s expression slightly changed, suddenly becoming serious.

He instantly understood the meaning of Zhu Lingyun.

As Zhu Lingyun leaves, he retained his conscience and spoke the truth.

He had clearly attempted to deal with Chu Zhiyuan secretly, but failed, unable to kill Chu Zhiyuan.

This is a disgraceful matter for the Divine Venerable, which would normally remain secret.

Now returning to You Meng Heaven, worried that they do not know Chu Zhiyuan’s might, he revealed it.

Zheng Pingzhang widened his eyes, ”Divine Venerable, you couldn’t kill him?”

”Shut up!” Ji Qingyun snorted.

”Uh...” Zheng Pingzhang stopped abruptly, his eyes still wide open.

He suffered a strong impact, unable to accept the fact: Chu Zhiyuan actually defeated the Evil Venerable.

Ji Qingyun said, ”Don’t worry Divine Venerable, we’ll be cautious, and observe the methods of other sects.”

”Hmm, then I’m relieved.” Zhu Lingyun nodded, turned to glance at the valley, and said indifferently, ”I’m leaving.”

He said, and his figure drifted away, soon disappearing into the distance.

Zheng Pingzhang hurriedly asked, ”Divine Venerable has left?”

”Yes, left.” Ji Qingyun said indifferently.

”Really left?” Zheng Pingzhang still didn’t believe it.

Ji Qingyun irritably said, ”Would the Divine Venerable joke?”

Zheng Pingzhang sighed, ”Just didn’t expect the Divine Venerable to leave so quickly.”

”Ultimately, we must rely on ourselves, the Divine Venerable has done enough!” Ji Qingyun said.

Zheng Pingzhang nodded.

This is completely beyond his expectations, originally thought the Divine Venerable wouldn’t act so easily.

”Let’s go, tidy up and we’ll return to the Main Altar, have a good rest.”

”Yes.”

...

Chu Zhiyuan sat in the Sect Leader’s Hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect, sitting opposite Lu Wanshan.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, its clear light spilling over Heavenly Sword Peak.

The hall was brightly lit.

After finishing his secret revelations, Chu Zhiyuan picked up a tea cup and took a sip, sighing, ”Sect Leader, you were right, the Court indeed refused to pass the secret technique to me.”

Lu Wanshan frowned, trying hard to digest the news Chu Zhiyuan disclosed.

After a while, he slowly said, ”I’m most aware of the Court’s taboo against us... No wonder the Wanxiang Sect has been able to survive so long, they’re indeed cautious.”

There are secret paths and secret transmissions, a second main altar.

Even if exterminated, the transmission can remain intact.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Have Master Zhou and the others find these two places and deal with them, and also be cautious of their treasure.”

Lu Wanshan nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”How is Guanghan Palace doing?”

Lu Wanshan shook his head and sighed, ”The secret technique passed to you is already the strongest. There’s no stronger one left.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, ”Seems only the Court has the key.”

”The Court won’t budge, so there’s nothing we can do. Let them be.” Lu Wanshan said, ”Innocent people are dying, they’ve lost public support, can’t blame us.”

”...Yes.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

From the memories of several Undying Evil Venerables and Evil Venerable, he acquired the method of return.

But there’s a prerequisite: the original body must be in You Meng Heaven for the soul to return to You Meng Heaven.

Zhu Lingyun’s clone is not in You Meng Heaven, what is needed is not the method of return, but the method of projection.

You Meng Heaven can project to Biyuan Heaven; in fact, Biyuan Heaven can project to You Meng Heaven.

With the memories of several Evil Venerables and Undying Evil Venerables, he naturally has this projection method.

But he doesn’t want to use this trick to fight fire with fire.

Ultimately, it’s because of merit and reputation, the people’s trust and public support.

Using the method of fighting fire with fire cannot achieve these, it also loses its greatest significance.

Life and death depend on fate, he doesn’t want to meddle in others’ destiny, he never saw himself as a savior, just presenting a benevolent image.

His actions are always about reaching his goals while conveniently saving people, but never purely to save people.

...

Leaving the Sect Leader’s Hall, Chu Zhiyuan appeared in his small courtyard.

He looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

His small courtyard was elegantly arranged, crafted by Li Hongzhao, currently quiet, making him feel somewhat overly silent.

He felt a tinge of loneliness, then instantly disappeared.

The next moment, he appeared in Outer Heaven, at Xiao Ruoling’s small courtyard in the Profound Yin Palace.

Xiao Ruoling was sitting beside a stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea, looking serene.

Her white clothes resembled snow, her skin was like white jade.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan suddenly appear, she smiled sweetly and rose to greet him.

Chu Zhiyuan reached out to embrace her, smiling, ”Shall we leave now?”

Xiao Ruoling nodded gently.

”Then let’s go.” Chu Zhiyuan laughed, hugged her waist, and disappeared.

The next moment, they appeared in the back garden of Duke An Mansion.

In the back garden, under the moonlight, the lake water glistened, and the painting boat on the lake gently swayed.

Not far from the lakeside, in the center of a flower bed, within a small martial arts training ground, Xiao Ruoyu was practicing sword training.

His moon-white combat uniform clung to his handsome face, sword shadow continuous.

The sword light was clear, surging with an inexhaustible momentum, like the autumn sea, bright and heavy.

He was practicing the Jinghai Unlimited Scripture.

”Good swordsmanship.” Chu Zhiyuan clapped and laughed.

Xiao Ruoyu turned sharply and saw Xiao Ruoling with Chu Zhiyuan.

He sheathed his sword, ”Big sister, brother-in-law, it’s so late.”

”Hmph, can’t we come back even if it’s late?!”

Xiao Ruoling smacked his shoulder hard, making him grimace and rub the hit area vigorously.

”Ruoyu,” Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, ”You should go back and rest now.”

”Understood, understood.” Xiao Ruoyu laughed awkwardly and said, ”I’m going back now.”

He waved his hand and ran away swiftly.

Xiao Ruoling often returns, so Xiao Ruoyu feels she hasn’t really ascended.
