Chapter 107 Return(1/2)
Li Muchan looked at everyone with a smile, Cheng Lian glanced at everyone, and all eight people came out without any damage.
It was a great luck not to lose anyone's hands, she smiled.
"Senior Sister Cheng, have you gained anything?" a girl in green asked.
Li Muchan smiled. The girl in green looked delicate and timid, like a weak willow supporting the wind. She seemed vulnerable, but she was a powerful person. She was Jiang Xiyue, the chief disciple of the Tianji Sect.
Cheng Lian smiled and nodded: "Junior sister Jiang, we are lucky this time."
"Oh, what did you get?" Jiang Xiyue's bright eyes lit up and she smiled: "We didn't get anything this time. It kept raining and we couldn't walk a few steps!"
Cheng Lian smiled and pointed at Li Muchan's waist: "Did you see it?"
"Sword?!" Jiang Xiyue's bright eyes fell on Li Muchan's waist.
Li Muchan chuckled, unsheathed his sword, and suddenly a snowy light flashed, and everyone exclaimed. The coldness could be felt from such a distance. It was definitely not an ordinary sword.
Cheng Lian smiled and said: "This is the sword we got!...Junior Sister Jiang, you got nothing?"
Jiang Xiyue shook his head and sighed. Their Tianji Sect had always had bad luck. It was said that they were disliked by the gods for leaking the secrets.
Cheng Lian turned to look at the other seven people. They also shook their heads. Due to the sudden heavy rain, they could not go too far, so they did not encounter the treasure.
Cheng Lian smiled and said: "We originally felt that we were at a huge loss because we only got a sword, but now it seems that we have gotten the most."
"Isn't that right!" Jiang Xiyue said enviously: "It's raining so heavily, how dare you, Senior Sister Cheng, to rush?"
"Don't mention it!" Cheng Lian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We were almost killed by lightning!"
"Hmm -?" Jiang Xiyue and the others looked over curiously.
Cheng Lian said: "Fortunately, it was just a little aftermath, and it didn't hit us. Maybe it's because we have enough virtue, so we were lucky enough to avoid it!"
She pointed at Li Muchan's face: "Brother-in-law's face has not recovered yet."
Only then did they realize that Li Muchan's face was darkened, but because everyone was in such a sorry state, they didn't pay much attention to it. Now when Cheng Lian pointed it out, they noticed something strange.
Li Muchan returned the sword to its sheath and smiled sheepishly: "Every gain must come with a loss. Maybe I got this sword and made God jealous!"
"Giggle..." Jiang Xiyue pursed her lips and smiled.
She saw that Li Muchan, such a mature and steady person, now had a dark face, feeling embarrassed and helpless, and found it funny.
Cheng Lian said: "Anyway, we are lucky this time. Didn't everyone rush in the rain?"
Jiang Xiyue said: "Senior Sister Cheng, we finally went in once. How could we stop? But the rain was too heavy and we couldn't walk fast despite the rain. We probably couldn't even get one step ahead of the previous time. How could we get good things?!...
…Senior Brother He’s Qinggong must be extremely good!”
"Well, that's true. My brother-in-law's Qing Gong is extremely high." Cheng Lian nodded softly: "I can get the sword this time. It is indeed thanks to his Qing Gong, so this sword can be regarded as his."
"Senior Sister Cheng is so heroic!" Jiang Xiyue pursed her lips and smiled.
————
The Wan Sheng Sect has rules. Except for the secret book, all the treasures obtained from Fuyun Mountain belong to each person. However, they usually work in pairs. If they get something, they have to share it equally. Cheng Lian gave him the sword directly.
It was indeed generous. One look at it and they knew that this sword was not an ordinary thing. It was better than any sword they had ever seen. But they gave it to them as soon as they said it. How generous!
Cheng Lian said: "This time it is all my brother-in-law's fault. I was just watching the fun. The sword should belong to my brother-in-law."
"Sister, you're so polite." Li Muchan smiled and shook his head.
Jiang Xiyue glanced at the two of them and said angrily: "Okay, Senior Sister Cheng, Senior Sister He. We will ignore your showing off. Let's go!"
As she said this, she turned around and left, moving like a weak willow in the wind. She disappeared softly, and everyone clasped their fists and left in disappointment.
The opportunity that comes once in five years was disrupted by a heavy rain. It was really God's unkindness. They were so angry that they couldn't unleash their anger. Moreover, seeing Li Muchan's harvest, they were even more envious.
But the great misfortune was that the Hidden Sect only got the sword and not the secret book, which was fine. Once it got the secret book, it would be a big trouble.
A secret book in Fuyun Mountain can often change the status of a sect. Now that the Hidden Sect has Li Muchan, its strength has greatly increased. If you get another secret book, it will be even more powerful and it will really rise in the future!
The relationship between the nine sects is very complicated. They are not united. One sect disappears and the other rises. Except for the rebellion of the Divine Sword Sect, among the other eight sects, the Hidden Sect is the weakest because of its thin population.
But now it seems that the Yin Sect has increased its potential and has a chance to turn around, which has aroused their vigilance. If the Yin Sect becomes stronger, they may be able to squeeze in.
The Wansheng Sect has limited resources and competes with each other. Opportunities like this are for the disciples to fight for. Without the Yin Sect, there will be one more opportunity.
As for the strength of the Wan Sheng Sect, they have never doubted that even without the Yin Sect, it is still the best in the world and unmatched.
Watching them disappear one by one, Cheng Lian put away his smile and let out a long sigh of relief.
Li Muchan looked at her and Cheng Lian said, "Brother-in-law, do you blame me for lying?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."
"Exactly!" Cheng Lian breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "Our Yin Sect has always been the weakest. If we suddenly get something good, we are afraid that someone will miss it and do something that shouldn't be done."
"Senior Sister, you think far ahead." Li Muchan nodded: "I would be the same way. Let's go back quickly. Master and the others must be waiting impatiently!"
Cheng Lian pursed his lips and smiled, squinting at him: "Young junior sister will also be impatient, right?"
Li Muchan touched his nose and laughed twice without retorting.
"Okay, let's go back!" Cheng Lian snorted.
————
When the two returned to the Yin Sect, sure enough, the three women were all at the martial arts training ground, bathing in the afterglow of the sunset somewhat absentmindedly, moving their hands slowly.
Seeing the two people appear, the three women immediately stopped and turned to look over. Six eyes stared straight at them. Li Muchan smiled at Yi Xiaoru and then smiled at Zhu Chuyun.
Yi Xiaoru couldn't control herself, and shot like an arrow from the string. When she saw Li Muchan's face, she was startled: "Brother, your face...?"
Cheng Lian smiled and said: "Brother-in-law was struck by lightning!"
"Ah——?!" Yi Xiaoru was shocked, and Zhu Chuyun also stared at Li Muchan with his bright eyes widened in surprise: "Have you really been struck by lightning?"
Li Muchan touched the bridge of his nose, looking embarrassed. Cheng Lian pursed his lips and nodded with a smile, giving Li Muchan a sideways glance.
"Alas..." Zhu Chuyun sighed. He shook his head and said, "What a bad thing this has done, and it has made the world angry and resentful!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Best wishes, senior sister!"
Zhu Chuyun chuckled and said, "You are with Senior Sister Cheng, right? Then why does Lei insist on hitting you instead of Senior Sister Cheng?"
Li Muchan laughed and said, "Maybe it's because my cultivation level is higher and it makes God jealous!"
Yi Xiaoru looked a little pale, Zhu Chuyun and Gao Jingxuan shook their heads and laughed. Li Muchan looked very interesting now.
Yi Xiaoru's heart skipped a beat when she thought of Li Muchan being struck by lightning, thinking that he almost died. Her heart palpitated and she couldn't bear it.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Lian regretted mentioning it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little junior sister, my brother-in-law is okay, he's not injured."
Yi Xiaoru stared at Li Muchan. Li Muchan said with a smile: "I got a blessing in disguise this time. My cultivation has increased a lot. It can be considered a blessing from God!"
Cheng Lian wanted to turn Yi Xiaoru's attention away and said with a smile: "I was walking with my brother-in-law, but he suddenly pushed me, and thunder struck me. My brother-in-law's keen sense is really amazing!"
Gao Jingxuan said: "God knows it, this is due to cultivation to a certain level. You are still far away!... Come on, Xiaoru, he is safe and sound, don't scare yourself!"
"Master, it's too dangerous!" Yi Xiaoru's face was pale and her voice was trembling.
Li Muchan smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "I'm lucky, I won't die that easily!"
"Stop talking about death!" Yi Xiaoru said hurriedly.
Li Muchan smiled and nodded, patting the scabbard on his waist: "Look at this!"
He drew his sword out of its sheath, and suddenly a cold light flashed, and they could all feel the coldness entering their skin. The sword's light seemed to be real.
"What a sword!" the three girls praised.
————
Li Muchan handed the sword to Gao Jingxuan: "Master, can you tell the origin of this sword?"
Gao Jingxuan took the hilt of the sword. He slowly turned it over and looked at it carefully. His fingers gently brushed the sword body, and when he saw the two big characters looming inside, he muttered: "Yingxue..."
She looked at it for a while, then raised her head and shook her head: "I've never heard of it... but the cold energy from this sword is exuding, and it seems to have a calming effect."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "That's true!"
He glanced at Cheng Lian and the girls and said, "Why don't you all practice with it? It will be helpful."
Gao Jingxuan waved his hand and said: "You got this, you better keep it. The mental method we practice is different from the rest of the sect, so you don't have to worry about going crazy!"
"Hmm -?" Li Muchan looked over.
Because he wanted to avoid suspicion, he never explored their inner thoughts. He only felt that being feminine and domineering was indeed a rare and exquisite way of thinking. He also knew the route of their inner thoughts, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Cheng Lian said: "Master, let me tell you."
Gao Jingxuan nodded: "Dao'er is no longer an outsider. It doesn't matter if he knows. Just don't leak it."
Li Muchan said hurriedly: "Forget it then. I know that the mental skills in the sect are advancing very quickly, but it is a pity that there is a danger of going crazy."
Cheng Lian said: "What we practice is not the original mental method, but the Weak Water Technique that master got from Fuyun Mountain. It is very mysterious and has no shortcomings."
Gao Jingxuan sighed, shook his head and said: "There is no danger of going crazy. Unfortunately, it is not that fast. It is difficult to practice and slow to progress. It will only get faster later."
There was a bitter look on her face, and there was no look of joy.
Li Muchan nodded slowly: "That's it!"
