36: In the future, my master's wife will protect you

Chapter 36: From now on, your Master’s Wife will protect you.

At this moment, Li Yunshu was more concerned about Di Bing.

“Where is my Master’s Wife?”

“Master is currently presiding over the Sect.”

Hearing that Di Bing had not come to Wumeng Mountain, Li Yunshu finally relaxed.

He didn’t ask any more questions, but directly put Liu Yiyi into the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit’s space.

Then, he took out the communication jade talisman Di Bing had given him.

“Master’s Wife, I met Senior Sister Liu on Wumeng Mountain.”

Soon, he received Di Bing’s reply.

“Perhaps it is fate; you may take her in.”

Looking at this message, Li Yunshu was a bit puzzled.

“Wumeng Mountain is a trap, why would Master’s Wife still let her come here?”

“If my Disciple doesn’t go to Wumeng Mountain, once Zhao Shijie becomes suspicious, how will he make his move?”

Seeing this message, Li Yunshu’s mind buzzed.

So, not only Liu Yiyi, but all the Disciples of Piao Miao Peak who met the conditions for this trial died on Wumeng Mountain.

“Why?”

“For this position of Sect Master, and to protect you.”

Li Yunshu stared intently at the message on the jade talisman, his breathing somewhat strained.

Deceiving the assassins who wanted to kill him, letting them die on Wumeng Mountain, he felt no burden in his heart.

But for his sake, Master’s Wife had even sacrificed her own Disciples.

At this moment, he didn’t know if Master’s Wife had planned this all along, or if she was just going with the flow.

Just as he was about to put away the communication jade talisman, another message arrived.

“I am the Sect Master now; from now on, your Master’s Wife will protect you.”

Li Yunshu smiled, he took a deep breath, and looked up through the trees at the dappled sky.

“Master, even after your Ascension, you didn’t forget to leave a backer for your Disciple.”

Just then, he saw a coconut tree not far away.

Looking further, there were also cocoa trees.

Good stuff.

Li Yunshu reached out and grabbed a long saber from the ground.

Then he tapped his foot and flew to the coconut tree.

As the saber light flashed, coconuts were collected into his storage ring one by one.

Of course, he didn’t let go of the cocoa trees either.

An hour later.

Li Yunshu looked at a cliff in front of him; he had finally arrived — Broken Soul Cliff.

This was the location marked on the map, where Sun Shichang’s Secret Realm was located.

He walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down.

Vines grew everywhere, showing no abnormalities.

Li Yunshu tapped his foot and leaped down.

As he descended through the air, his gaze swept over the cliff face, looking for the location of the Secret Realm.

Soon, he discovered an unusual spot.

At first glance, it looked no different from other rock walls, but upon closer inspection, one could see cracks.

Those were not cracks in the rock wall, but rather more like a shattered mirror.

Li Yunshu flew forward, tentatively touched the broken rock wall with his finger, and then his finger extended into the rock wall.

Illusion!

He didn’t know if the Blood Spirit Grand Formation had destroyed the illusion here, or if too much time had passed, causing a flaw in the illusion Formation.

In any case, he had found it.

Li Yunshu stepped in, and in an instant, it was as if he had passed through an invisible barrier.

Before him was a dimly lit cave, and the light from behind could only illuminate the entrance of the cave.

Further in, it was pitch black, and he didn’t know how deep the cave was.

Li Yunshu couldn’t help but think of his thoughtful Master’s Wife again, who seemed to have foreseen everything and prepared a Ever-bright Pearl for him.

He took out a jujube-red wooden box from his storage ring and gently opened it.

As the wooden box opened, a bright and soft light dispelled the surrounding gloom.

Upon entering this cave, he smelled a scent of blood, and the cave also exuded a cold feeling.

Under the illumination of the light, Li Yunshu, holding the Ever-bright Pearl in his hand, walked towards the depths of the cave.

After walking for a short while, he suddenly stopped, feeling something sticky under his feet.

Lowering the Ever-bright Pearl, Li Yunshu looked down carefully and found it was blood.

A long trail of blood extended from under his feet further into the cave.

Li Yunshu couldn’t help but slow his steps, holding his breath.

There were clearly demonic beasts in this cave, but they had been sacrificed by the Blood Spirit Grand Formation.

Judging by the bloodstains, it seemed to be a snake demon, and its size was not small; it probably had ten thousand years of Dao cultivation.

The Blood Spirit Grand Formation set up by the Heavenly Demon Sect had helped him solve many troubles.

Otherwise, if he had encountered this snake demon, it would have been a great battle.

He just didn’t know if this snake demon had condensed into a spirit body after its death.

Hiss!

No sooner had the thought arisen than a sense of danger suddenly emerged in his heart.

Raising the Ever-bright Pearl, he tapped his foot, and his figure rapidly retreated.

Under the illumination of the Ever-bright Pearl, he could clearly see a snake demon-shaped Vengeful Spirit in front of him.

Buzz!

Space vibrated, and a huge spatial rift appeared in front of Li Yunshu.

The snake demon was too fast and plunged into the spatial rift.

Li Yunshu didn’t hesitate; he held the Soul Banner in his hand and also entered the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit’s space.

Demons and humans are different; although both can condense into spirit bodies after death, becoming Yin spirits or Vengeful Spirits.

However, demons have demon cores; even after death, their spirit bodies can fuse with their own demon cores, greatly enhancing their strength.

That snake demon had ten thousand years of Dao cultivation in life, and with a ten-thousand-year demon core plus the spirit body of a Vengeful Spirit, he was worried that the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit would not be its match.

Hiss!

As soon as he entered this space, Li Yunshu saw the snake demon attacking the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit.

All the other Yin spirits he had taken into this space were hiding far away, afraid of being caught in the battle.

Li Yunshu dared not delay; his Divine Sense quickly surged into the Soul Banner.

As a black mist surged out, wrapping around the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit, her Aura soared.

The Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit flickered, grabbing the snake demon’s tail.

Bang!

As her arms swung, the snake demon was heavily smashed to the ground.

Bang, bang, bang... The Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit didn’t stop there, but continuously slammed it left and right until the snake demon’s spirit body became increasingly faint.

Pfft!

A slender jade hand pierced into the snake demon’s spirit body at its seven-inch mark, digging out the demon core.

With the extraction of the demon core, the snake demon, which was originally a Vengeful Spirit, immediately downgraded to a Yin spirit.

The Red-Clothed Yin spirit flicked her finger, and the demon core flew into Li Yunshu’s hand.

Li Yunshu took the demon core, wiped the blood from it, and examined it carefully.

A demon core from a ten-thousand-year-old snake demon, this trip was not in vain.

Among the Yin spirits, Liu Yiyi looked up at the man in mid-air.

Ever since she entered this space, she had discovered the existence of that powerful Vengeful Spirit; even in her lifetime, she would not have been its match.

What surprised her even more was that this Vengeful Spirit actually obeyed the man in front of her.

She had guessed that this man was not simple, but she had still underestimated him.

Thinking of this, she regretted it even more.

Her Master had once given her a chance, but she hadn’t cherished it.

Only when it was lost did she regret it deeply; there was no greater pain in the world than this.

Liu Yiyi opened her mouth, wanting to speak but hesitating.

But after collecting the demon core, Li Yunshu didn’t even glance at her, turning directly to leave.

Before long, Li Yunshu reached the deepest part of the cave.

Here, a quiet room seemed to have been carved out, with a stone table and stone stools, and a wooden box placed on the stone table.

Li Yunshu hesitated for a moment, finally deciding to let the White-robed Yin Spirit go forward and open the box.

As the box opened, he only approached after confirming there was no danger.

Inside the box, there was only a classical text and a porcelain bottle.

After Li Yunshu took out the classical text, he saw three characters written on the cover: “Sun’s Notes.”

Hiss!

Found it!

Li Yunshu took out a memory orb and handed it to the White-robed Yin Spirit beside him.

The notes were to be given to the Empress, but he certainly had to make a copy for himself.

The White-robed Yin Spirit held the memory orb in one hand to record, and slowly turned the pages of the notes with the other.

Beside him, Li Yunshu took out the porcelain bottle from the box, which had three characters written on it.

“Soul Rebirth Pill.”

Opening the porcelain bottle, he saw only one Medicinal Pill inside.

“What kind of Medicinal Pill is this?”

Beside him, the White-robed Yin Spirit said calmly.

“A spirit body that consumes this Pill can regenerate a Physical Body.”

Li Yunshu’s eyes widened, looking incredulously at the White-robed Yin Spirit beside him.

“How do you know?”
