289: Senior sister, please wait.

Feiyu City.

A snow-white frost sword light pierced through the protective grand array barrier of the city. As the light dissipated, Yue Li appeared on the roof of Qing Feng Tower.

"Are you injured?"

True Person Qingzhu, Su Zhi, appeared beside her. He had sensed her with his Divine Sense before she had even entered the city's protective grand array.

Yue Li's Face was as pale as paper, and the aura on her body was chaotic. After escaping danger, her mind relaxed, making her look even more disheveled.

She took a Medicinal Pill for nourishing and healing, then focused her mind to regulate her breathing for a moment. Her complexion finally looked a bit better.

She nodded slightly at Su Zhi, "When I was returning, I was intercepted by several Golden Core True Persons. Among them was even... a Mid Golden Core Stage Cultivator!"

Hearing "Mid Golden Core Stage," the elegant and gentle-mannered Su Zhi's expression changed.

It was too dangerous! The border war was truly too dangerous! Today, they dared to intercept Yue Li, who was at the False Core Stage; tomorrow, wouldn't they dare to intercept him, who was at the Golden Core Stage?

'I am just a mediocre Golden Core, and my chances of a Breakthrough were already slim. Why bother with this!'

Su Zhi began to think in his mind if he could find a reason to have Shen Yunshu transfer her back to the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Yue Li knew Su Zhi's general thoughts and continued to speak: "Among those who attacked, at least two were Golden Core True Persons from the Beast Taming Sect. They could have easily killed me, yet they still let me escape."

"If I am not mistaken, the one truly wanting to kill me is at most an Early Golden Core Stage True Person!"

Yue Li's cold eyes gazed into the distance toward the border battlefield, "Intercepting me is not the Beast Taming Sect's goal; it is someone within the Sect!"

Yue Li had several suspects in her heart, but without evidence, she could not speak recklessly.

Everyone was a Golden Core True Person of the Heavenly Sword Sect; even her Revered Master, True Person Feiyu, could not act recklessly.

Su Zhi did not reply. He was clear about these things, but he did not want to participate at all. Shen Yunshu only sent him to sit in Feiyu City; he was powerless to do anything else.

"This matter I must discuss with Revered Master as soon as possible. I will have to trouble True Person Qingzhu to take care of Feiyu City for a while."

Yue Li could not care about healing her wounds and prepared to immediately head to Shen Yunshu to discuss countermeasures.

Su Zhi waved his hand. He was happy to do so; as long as he didn't have to go to the border battlefield to escort goods, it was fine.

Yue Li bowed to Su Zhi, then forced herself to fly on her sword, intending to find Shen Yunshu.

As the sword light passed through the city's protective grand array barrier, Yue Li suddenly stopped. After a moment of hesitation, she turned around and flew toward the summit of the Red Pine Sect.

True Person Qingzhu, Su Zhi, was unreliable. She intended to tell Xiao Changfeng about the situation and ask him to look after her people for the sake of her Revered Master.

However, when she arrived at the summit, she was told by the guards that Xiao Changfeng was in seclusion and not seeing guests.

Just as she was about to leave, she thought of Junior Brother Liu Xuan. This Junior Brother had immense influence within the Sect. Since she was already here, she could as well leave him a few words.

West Courtyard.

When Yue Li arrived, Liu Xuan was holding a two- or three-year-old daughter, teasing her. The child's happy laughter echoed throughout the entire courtyard.

Beside him were several beautiful wives, one of whom was also holding an infant in her arms.

Seeing this scene, Yue Li's brow furrowed slightly. A trace of displeasure rose in her heart, along with a trace of confusion.

At a time like this, Liu Xuan still had the mood to play? It was simply... stupid!

As far as she knew, not only were the goods of her Qing Feng Tower intercepted, but the goods of the Liu Family's Guanghui Tower had also been intercepted.

"Senior Sister Yue Li?"

Liu Xuan signaled for Zhang Kexin and several Junior Sisters and Concubines to step back, then asked nervously:

"Senior Sister, why are you injured?!?"

Yue Li's confusion deepened. Liu Xuan could actually see her injuries! She had clearly concealed them.

Time was pressing, and now was not the time to talk about this. She did not answer Liu Xuan's question but quickly explained her interception.

"Junior Brother Liu, the matter is urgent. I must personally go to Revered Master to discuss countermeasures. Feiyu City is left to you!"

After Yue Li finished speaking, she prepared to leave. She only came to inform Liu Xuan; there was no point in saying more.

"Senior Sister, stay your step!"

Yue Li, who was about to take off, turned back to look at Liu Xuan, her eyes filled with inquiry.

"That... Senior Sister, your meridians are damaged, and your injuries are serious. The most important thing right now is to properly heal your wounds; it is not suitable to travel."

Yue Li's injuries were even more serious than Liu Xuan described. Not only were her meridians and bones damaged, but even her False Core was dim. Liu Xuan's Eye of Delusion Breaking saw it clearly.

In this situation, if she did not heal properly, she might leave behind sequelae, or even damage her Origin and shorten her lifespan.

"My minor injuries are not important. This matter concerns Revered Master's great plan and must be handled as soon as possible!"

Yue Li could not care about her injuries now. She did not even have time to dwell on why Liu Xuan could see her injuries; all her thoughts were on how to help her Revered Master handle this matter.

"Senior Sister, stay your step!"

Liu Xuan called out to stop Yue Li again, who was about to fly away. Amidst her puzzled and impatient gaze, he asked again:

"The interception of goods on the border battlefield is at most a loss of some Spirit Stones. Why would Senior Sister disregard your own life for this?"

Yue Li's expression was complex, somewhat dazed, "This False Core of mine was given by Revered Master. For someone whose path of Dao is severed, for Revered Master's great plan, let alone minor injuries, I would do anything!"

"Forget it! Why am I telling you this? Don't waste any more time."

"I have a way to help you solve this!"

"What did you say?!?"

Yue Li, who had just flown into the air, returned to Liu Xuan's side, her expression serious, "This matter is of great importance; it is no time for you to joke!"

Liu Xuan rubbed his nose, "Senior Sister should know my character. I never joke about major matters."

Seeing that the seriousness on Yue Li's Face did not disappear, but rather grew more impatient, Liu Xuan said slowly:

"It has been half a month since the goods in Feiyu City were intercepted, yet our Revered Master has had no reaction. Judging from what you just said, there were at least two Mid Golden Core Stage enemies intercepting you. Even if you go back to discuss it with Revered Master now, can you really solve the problem?"

"With at least two Mid Golden Core Stage enemies, and who knows how many hidden means, ordinary Mid Golden Core Stage True Persons wouldn't dare take this task. Does our Revered Master have to come personally?"

The impatience on Yue Li's Face finally disappeared, but it was replaced by a deep worry.

The enemy was taking advantage of the fact that her Revered Master, Shen Yunshu, was tied up, which was why they dared to be so unscrupulous. If she went back to find her Revered Master now, it was indeed very likely that the problem could not be solved.

To solve this matter, at least several True Persons needed to be sent out, and they needed to communicate with the Beast Taming Sect's Golden Core True Persons. It was no small trouble.

"Since you know this, how dare you spout nonsense that you can help me solve this?" Yue Li's tone softened a lot. Regardless, her Junior Brother was indeed thinking for her.

"Senior Sister, I, Liu Xuan, have always kept my word. Since I dared to say that I can help you solve this, I definitely have full certainty."

Seeing Liu Xuan's confident manner, a glimmer of expectation appeared on Yue Li's Face. She had never been able to see through this Junior Brother; perhaps he really had a way.

Liu Xuan met Yue Li's expectant gaze, and also said with a hint of expectation: "I indeed have a way, but the price to pay is truly too great!"

"Senior Sister just said that you are willing to do anything for Revered Master's great plan..."

"I wonder if that is true?"
