66: A woman's intuition

“In short, it’s impossible! I still don’t believe it! How could that trash Shen Lian possibly do such a thing!”

Nangong Li simply couldn't connect everything that was happening in Heavenly Feather Sect right now with Shen Lian.

How could she not know what kind of person Shen Lian was?

He was just a piece of trash who achieved nothing and passively accepted everything.

Even when he still had his cultivation, he was easily played by the seven of them.

Now that his cultivation had been crippled for a hundred years, even if he gained some Opportunity and recovered partially, could that change his trash-like nature?

Furthermore, killing one's Revered Master and annihilating the sect is intolerable by the entire Righteous Path. Would someone as respectful of his Revered Master and Dao as Shen Lian do such a thing?

There must be a mistake.

The more she thought about it, the more absurd the matter seemed, so she looked at Liu Yixue and asked, “Second Senior Sister, what do you think?”

Liu Yixue didn't speak, but the expression on her face gave a clear answer.

She also didn't believe Shen Lian did it.

If Shen Lian truly had such a nature, why would he let the seven of them humiliate him like a dog?

Lian Zhen: “If you want to know if it’s true, wouldn't it be clear if you ask Su Yuheng? She is currently healing her injuries in Medicine King Glazed Valley. Why not go and ask her in person?”

Upon hearing this, the two women felt that it made some sense.

Nangong Li said: “But the cross-border Barrier between the Spirit Realm and the Eastern Region requires a Peak Hunyuan Cultivator to enter. With our current cultivation, I’m afraid we won’t be able to pass.”

Lian Zhen: “You don't need to worry about that. I possess the Heavenly Mystery Mirror, which allows me to travel to any domain at any time without restriction.”

Nangong Li: “That’s wonderful! We shouldn’t delay. Let’s quickly head to the Road of No Return. Once we see Third Senior Sister, we must find out exactly what happened.”

Liu Yixue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke to Lian Zhen: “Fellow Daoist Lian Zhen, your Tianji Pavilion can deduce the Destiny of everyone in the world, with the past and future under your control.

Why can’t you deduce whether this incident was caused by Shen Lian, so the world can have a clear answer?”

Before Lian Zhen could speak, Nangong Li immediately interrupted: “Second Senior Sister, you don’t actually believe that trash Shen Lian did all this, do you?”

Liu Yixue: “I’m just suspicious, Fifth Junior Sister, don’t think too much of it.”

Lian Zhen shook his head: “It is strange, indeed. Tianji Pavilion can deduce the Destiny of everyone on the entire continent, even those Limit Breaking Cultivators at the very top.

We can usually deduce a thing or two, but this time, Ye Fan, who should have had flourishing Luck, had his Destiny dim two months ago. My Revered Master immediately dispatched two Junior Brothers to investigate the reason.

But soon after, the Soul Lamps of those two Junior Brothers suddenly went out. To this day, we still don't know who did it. After I learned about Shen Lian’s situation,

I tried to deduce his fate, but unfortunately, I couldn't detect anything about his Destiny. Perhaps it is because my Dao attainment is too shallow.”

Liu Yixue nodded: “So, Shen Lian’s Destiny is outside of Tianji Pavilion’s deduction, is that right?”

Lian Zhen: “The fate of almost everyone on the Primordial Continent cannot escape the Heavenly Mystery Deduction. It is merely that my own knowledge is shallow,

and I cannot peer into the deeper Heavenly Mystery. I ask Fellow Daoist Liu not to doubt the capabilities of Tianji Pavilion.”

“I understand.”

Hearing this, Liu Yixue bowed to Lian Zhen and turned to leave.

“Second Senior Sister, where are you going?”

Nangong Li quickly called out to her.

“Aren't you coming with me to the Spirit Realm to find Third Senior Sister?”

Liu Yixue stopped and coldly replied: “Fifth Junior Sister, I advise you to return to Chess Sword Pavilion immediately and stop going to the Spirit Realm.”

“Why?” Nangong Li was confused.

Liu Yixue frowned slightly: “I have a very bad feeling. Shen Lian might no longer be the Shen Lian we knew. We must take precautions.”

Nangong Li shook her head: “Second Senior Sister, are you afraid? Or are you feeling pity for that trash?”

“Nangong Li, I don’t have time to joke around with you right now.”

“Second Senior Sister, you are now the Sect Master of Ice and Snow Sect and the fiancée of Yuntian City’s Young Lord. Even if Shen Lian is different from before, do you still need to fear him?”

Liu Yixue remained silent, only glancing sideways at Nangong Li.

“Take care of yourself.”

With that, Liu Yixue was enveloped in a flash of spiritual light, transforming into scattered ice crystals, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

“Hmph, that deadpan face, after all these years, is still so unpleasant.”

Nangong Li intensely disliked Liu Yixue's cold and arrogant attitude.

In fact, the seven Senior and Junior Sisters were only united when targeting Shen Lian; their private relationship was a mess, basically the definition of 'plastic sisters'.

Upon learning of the upheaval at Heavenly Feather Sect, Nangong Li was shocked, but a hint of secret joy flashed in her heart.

Old Ancestor Tianyu was dead. That self-righteous old hag would never again put on a lecturing facade in front of her.

Moreover, learning that the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce had dissolved and Su Yuheng was injured also brought Nangong Li a wave of satisfaction.

Her reason for going to the Spirit Realm this time was partly to inquire about Shen Lian, but mostly to see the disgraced state of her Third Senior Sister.

“Fellow Daoist Lian Zhen, let’s hurry and set off. I must investigate the entire sequence of events thoroughly.”

“Mm.”

Lian Zhen responded, and together with Nangong Li, he turned into a beam of light and vanished above the ruins of Heavenly Feather Sect... In an unnamed Immortal Cave in the rear mountains of Chess Sword Pavilion.

Shen Lian closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, absorbing the Spiritual Qi of the place, his body shimmering with Vast Radiance.

About an hour later, Shen Lian finished his practice and stood up.

After stabilizing his cultivation these past few days, his Tribulation Crossing Realm Sixth Level Foundation was completely solid, and his cultivation had even advanced a small step further.

Shen Lian surveyed his surroundings, opened his Folding Fan, and slowly walked out of the Immortal Cave: “Now, it’s time to search for the whereabouts of the crouching dragon marrow, hmm?”

Mid-sentence, a soft sound drew his gaze to a Medicinal Field on the opposite side of the mountain.

“This kind of place actually has the aura of the heaven and earth root!”

A flash of excitement crossed Shen Lian’s face, and he immediately transformed into a Black and White Two Forms Totem, speeding toward the Medicinal Field.

Inside the Medicinal Field, Du Bingyan was completely unaware of the terrifying aura approaching, still focused on tending to the Spirit Medicine.

The Pill Furnace Disciples were coming tomorrow to collect the Spiritual Plants, and she had to ensure the Spirit Medicine was flawless.

Otherwise, the punishment according to the Chess Sword Pavilion Sect Rules would be quite strict.

“Senior Sister Du, I brought you water.”

Just then, Su Mengyao entered the Medicinal Field carrying water buckets.

“Put it there.”

Du Bingyan replied without turning her head.

Su Mengyao didn't disturb Du Bingyan. She carried the buckets to the water vat, poured the Spiritual Spring Water into it, and then sat by the thatched hut, watching Du Bingyan busy herself in the Medicinal Field.

The environment here was pleasant, free of scheming and conspiracy, allowing Su Mengyao's heart to feel very peaceful.

“Su Mengyao, you bitch, get out here right now!”

However, a loud shout shattered the tranquil atmosphere.

Su Mengyao sighed and turned her head to look.

Outside the Medicinal Field, Han Feng, Lin Yue, and Lu Qingyi were glaring at her with furious eyes.

Behind them was a group of watching Outer Sect Disciples.

“Seriously, is this ever going to end? Even in this state, they still won't let me go?”

Su Mengyao shook her head helplessly and got up to walk toward them.

On a distant Peak, Chen Wuji looked toward the Medicinal Field, revealing a mouthful of yellowed teeth.

“Hehehe, it seems this girl has offended quite a few people. Once you suffer injustice,

I will step in and rescue you. Let’s see what you can say then. I am truly too clever.”

Just as Chen Wuji was fantasizing about how to trick Su Mengyao into Cultivating the Styx Sword Art, an arrogant voice suddenly sounded behind him.

“trash, step aside, don’t block my Dao!”

Chen Wuji was startled and quickly turned his head, coming face-to-face with Shen Lian’s cold and aloof expression.
