83: Seeing Bai Lang again

Chapter 83: Bai Lang, Again and Again

Sword Sect.

Clang—

A melodious bell rang out, and Li Yunshu looked towards the entrance of the valley.

More than a dozen Elders were hovering above the valley entrance, scanning the crowd in the plaza.

By using Lin Fei's identity, he had successfully entered the Sword Sect.

Today was the day for the Inner Sect Disciples of the Sword Sect to enter the Holy Land for trial, and that valley was the entrance to the Holy Land.

To avoid revealing his true identity, he had announced that he was going into seclusion for Cultivation ever since returning to the Sword Sect, only emerging today.

With Thousand Faces, no one had discovered anything unusual about him.

In the air, the leading Elder waved his hand, and Talismans appeared in the sky.

Then, Talismans fell into the hands of the Disciples in the plaza.

Li Yunshu looked at the three Talismans in his hand; he hadn't seen these Talismans before.

His peripheral vision swept around, seeing that others put two of the Talismans away, keeping the remaining one in their hands.

Seeing this, Li Yunshu could only follow suit.

Du Shiyu was beside him, and he couldn't reveal his true identity at this moment.

"Senior Brother Lin, what's wrong?"

Beside him, Du Shiyu noticed he was lost in thought, and her hands immediately linked with his, her soft voice filled with concern.

Li Yunshu really wanted to ask what kind of Talismans these were.

"Nothing, I'm thinking about how to find the secret of Ascension."

Du Shiyu spoke carelessly.

"So many Disciples have gone in over the years and haven't found that thing. Senior Brother Lin, you shouldn't bother thinking about it."

At this moment, the Elder who had just distributed the Talismans spoke loudly.

"What I just gave you are Grade 4 Devil-Repelling Talismans. When worn, they form a barrier that can block Devilish Qi.

After entering the Holy Land, if you are contaminated with too much Devilish Qi, you will only become a demonic corpse."

Hearing this, Li Yunshu finally understood the purpose of the Talismans in his hand.

Devilish Qi!

So, there was Devilish Qi present in the Sword Sect Holy Land.

He suddenly remembered the book "Eternal Night Calamity" given by the Empress, which was a method of Devilish and Dual Cultivation.

During this time, he had already learned how to circulate Devilish Qi within his body.

Therefore, these three Talismans were optional for him.

It was a pity; if ordinary Grade 4 Talismans were taken outside, they could sell for a good number of Spirit Stones.

However, these Devil-Repelling Talismans were probably only useful in the Sword Sect Holy Land; they were useless elsewhere.

After all, it was the first time he had heard of a place with Devilish Qi in this world; even the Heavenly Demon Sect hadn't been rumored to have Devilish Qi.

Ever since he learned that the Empress was from the Demon Realm, he had paid more attention to information about the Demon Realm.

Once Devilish Qi entered the body, it was easy to become a demonic corpse.

The Sword Sect Holy Land was once a place invaded by the Demon Realm, so naturally, a lot of Devilish Qi remained unscattered.

Upon hearing that they might die in the Holy Land, the Disciples discussed animatedly, some considering backing out.

Although there were many residual treasures in the Holy Land, after so many years, they had mostly been plundered.

And as for the secret of Ascension, there had been no clues for so many years, so they no longer held much hope for it.

Beside him.

Du Shiyu flipped her palm in front of Li Yunshu, and five Devil-Repelling Talismans appeared in her hand.

"Senior Brother Lin, don't worry. I asked Master to give me three extra Devil-Repelling Talismans."

Li Yunshu nodded.

"Don't worry, I won't need that many."

Looking at Li Yunshu, whose gaze remained fixed on the valley entrance, Du Shiyu's brows furrowed slightly.

Previously, this Senior Brother Lin's thoughts could be said to have been entirely on her.

He was never stingy when spending Spirit Stones for her, but ever since leaving Jiangdu County, Senior Brother Lin had been a little strange, as if he had lost his former enthusiasm for her.

Could it be that he was annoyed that she had strung him along for too long?

She couldn't help but fall into thought, wondering what method she could use to win back Senior Brother Lin's heart.

She couldn't easily let go of such a generous Senior Brother.

If he really couldn't be won back... Du Shiyu turned her head slightly, her gaze falling on a plump back figure to her left front.

Although Senior Brother Zhang was a bit ugly, his grandfather was an Alchemist, and he also had quite a few Spirit Stones.

Li Yunshu had no idea of Du Shiyu's little thoughts; his attention was entirely on the entrance of that valley.

"Silence!"

The Elder's voice, mixed with spiritual power, swept across the entire plaza, and the crowd immediately quieted down.

"Whoever can completely open the Holy Land entrance will be directly promoted to an Inner Sect Elder of the Sect, and will also be rewarded with a Divine Pill."

Li Yunshu raised an eyebrow; the Sword Sect was quite generous in its efforts to find the opportunity for Ascension.

The treatment of an Inner Sect Elder, with a monthly salary of many Spirit Stones, was equivalent to a lifelong iron rice bowl in the Sword Sect.

And after taking the Divine Pill, it could greatly increase the success rate of a Nascent Soul Breakthrough to Soul Transformation.

The Elder flipped his palm, and a Formation Plate appeared in his hand.

With a single toss, the Formation Plate flew into mid-air and rapidly expanded, reaching ten zhang in size.

From the Formation Plate, a beam of white light shot out, illuminating the array wall at the valley entrance.

The array wall rippled like water.

"The Holy Land has been opened. Remember, the Holy Land will open again at this time one month later. If you cannot return on time, you will be trapped inside."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately affixed a Devil-Repelling Talisman to their body and flew into the array wall.

The others were not to be outdone and also entered the Holy Land.

Most people only affixed one Devil-Repelling Talisman, but Li Yunshu noticed someone not far away who directly affixed three.

Moreover, all three were affixed inside his robes.

Looking at that person's back, he found it somewhat familiar.

Just as he was about to look more closely, that person had already entered the Holy Land.

Seeing this, he immediately chased after him.

"Senior Brother Lin."

Du Shiyu stamped her foot, a little annoyed that he didn't wait for her.

Inside the Holy Land, Li Yunshu finally saw that person's face clearly, but it wasn't the person he had thought of.

This person's back was very similar to Bai Lang, even the subconscious small movements when flying were identical, but the face was not Bai Lang's.

That's right, Bai Lang was from the Heavenly Demon Sect; how could he be in the Sword Sect?

Wait a minute!

He came in for the opportunity of Ascension, so wouldn't the Heavenly Demon Sect send people in?

Thinking of this, Li Yunshu called out.

"Bai Lang."

As soon as the words fell, that person immediately turned around and looked in his direction.

Bai Lang subconsciously turned his head when he heard someone call his name.

But as soon as he turned around, he realized something was wrong.

He had already used a disguise technique; ordinary people couldn't see through it.

So, that shout just now was just a test for him.

Unfortunately, it was too late to realize this.

He simply looked in the direction of the voice, but there were too many Disciples entering the Holy Land, so he couldn't determine who had called him.

Li Yunshu's mouth twitched; it really was Bai Lang.

How was it that he kept running into him no matter where he went?
