Li Qingyue picked up the jade talisman that fell to the ground again, and then injected violent energy into it again, trying to activate it.
This time, the jade talisman seemed to have malfunctioned. There was no white light at all, and it turned directly into a dead fish, motionless.
Li Qingyue suddenly sweated on his forehead, swallowed nervously, and poured more violent energy into it.
The result is still the same...
Li Xuanqing looked on with a pale face and clenched her teeth, as if she had a deep hatred for the jade talisman.
She said nothing, just stared at the jade talisman. If she could untie the jade talisman with her eyes, she might succeed.
Unfortunately, the jade talisman of the Soul-Destroying Gate does not yet have the function of unlocking pupils.
I tried this several times without success, not even a faint white light.
The more Li Xuanqing watched, the more annoyed she became, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentment towards the ancestors of the Soul-Destroying Sect who had hidden the treasure.
"Okay, if not, forget it!" She took a deep breath and waved to her daughter to ask her to stop.
Li Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, stopped activating it, and stood there quietly, with a frustrated look on his face, not daring to say a word.
Although she knew that this was not her personal problem, Li Qingyue still felt very guilty. She could not help her mother and it was of no use at all.
Li Xuanqing saw her daughter's appearance, walked over and touched her head gently, sighing: "Forget it... there will always be a way! We can't solve it this time, let's come back next time!"
"Well..." Li Qingyue nodded obediently.
After saying this, the two of them stared blankly in the stone room for a while, then finally shook their heads and left.
Back on the ground, it was almost evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the summit of Mie Ling Peak, dyeing the sky and the earth golden.
When Li Xuanqing saw this scene, she couldn't help feeling emotional and let out a long sigh.
"Alas! Will the Soul-Destroying Sect be like the afterglow of the setting sun, with only the last brilliance left?"
"No!"
Li Qingyue immediately took her mother's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, mother, we will be fine in the Soul-Destroying Sect..."
"Okay, I hope you're right!" Li Xuanqing sighed, then said with a wry smile.
As the head of the Sect, she can see more clearly than her daughter that the Soul-Destroying Sect today is no longer the Soul-Slaying Sect it used to be.
Several catastrophes had already turned him into a dying patient.
Almost all the former elite disciples have been killed and injured, leaving only the five people who followed her before. Apart from this, the rest of the disciples have no strength at all. Their cultivation is only at the foundation building level, and they can only be regarded as
I have just started, and I am still far from being able to support the Soul-Destroying Sect.
The current Soul-Destroying Sect is almost entirely supported by her alone.
Fortunately, during her previous confrontation with Master Xuan Le, she was able to see the strength of her daughter Li Qingyue, which made her very happy.
After teaching my daughter for six full years, I can finally share the pressure with her.
If it weren't for her daughter, Li Xuanqing didn't know if she could have endured it.
"I hope my daughter can grow up faster." She sighed deeply in her heart.
At the same time, in Huayin City thousands of miles away.
Li Muhong sat quietly on the grass in the garden, regardless of the mud on the ground, just sitting quietly, as if she had taken root.
He had been sitting there for nearly a day, not eating or drinking, motionless.
Although he didn't eat, drink, or rest, his mental state was very good. There was no trace of pain on his face, but he had a sense of ecstasy and comfort.
From the look of him, he seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit.
Outside the garden, there was a large group of people surrounding them, including guards from the City Lord's Mansion and disciples from the Moon Martial Arts School.
They peeked in furtively, as if they were looking for something, but they couldn't see Li Muhong.
They have been watching here for a long time. At least nearly five hours have passed since the maid from the city lord's palace ran out to report the news.
For five hours, the city lord didn't make any movement, he didn't come out to walk around, he didn't come out to eat or drink, he didn't even go to the toilet.
If the maid hadn't come out from time to time to report that the Lord of the City was still inside, they would have thought that the Lord of the City had been kidnapped by someone.
"What are you doing, Lord City Lord?" A man wearing guard armor asked in a low voice to the maid who just ran out to report the news.
"How did I know..." The maid pouted, seemingly dissatisfied.
Although she is only a maid, she has a very high status in the city lord's palace. She is the city lord's personal attendant. In the eyes of everyone, she is almost like a concubine.
However, only the maid herself knows whether she is a concubine or not...
"Then... why is the city lord like this? Have you noticed anything wrong in the past few days?" the guard asked again.
This question seemed to hit the key point. The maid frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly opened her mouth slightly: "Ah, I remembered! The Lord of the City seemed to have received several letters in the past few days, which were sent from the capital!
"
"Letter? Don't you, Lord City Lord, receive summons every day? Is there anything strange about this?" The guard frowned, with a puzzled look on his face.
As the lord of Huayin City, Li Muhong has to deal with a lot of official business every day, and the letters she usually receives can almost fit into a large frame.
If it is an important letter, he will read and review it himself; if it is an ordinary, less important letter, he will sometimes give it to his subordinates to read.
Although the young man who asked the question was wearing bodyguard armor, he held a high position and was Li Muhong's right-hand man.
Sometimes, he can also see some less important letters and help deal with them.
"It's not the kind you said..." The maid glared at the young guard, then shook her head and said: "I have read more of the letters you mentioned than you. If there is any problem in it, don't I know about it?
"
"What kind of letter is that?" The young guard seemed a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't refute it.
As a personal maid, the other party has indeed spent more time with the Lord of the City than him, and naturally has a lot of letters to read.
What the other party said is true.
"It's a letter from the capital, what kind of letter do you think it is? Moreover, the shopkeeper of Baixiao Tower sent it personally and handed it directly into the hands of the city lord. I didn't even have a chance to take a look at it!" At this point, the maid seemed to be confused.
She was a little angry, feeling that the city lord didn't treat her as one of his own.
If it were one of our own, why would it still be like this?
The maid's words made the young guard fall into deep thought, but he soon understood it, and immediately opened his mouth slightly and said: "Could it be sent by the Lord's senior brother? It shouldn't be!"
The letter from the capital was so strict that it must have been sent by the Moon Martial Arts School.
However, even if it is a letter from the city lord's senior brother, it is usually about business matters, so there is no need to hide it in such a way.
