Lady Su's Revenge

Chapter 365 - Green Water and Cloudy Mountain

Chapter 365 Green Water and Cloudy Mountain

After the situation calmed down, the high platforms of the three sects returned to their calmness. Eight practitioners joined the competition on the five remaining high platforms, and the game became fierce again.

However, for those who had just seen the big show, the next fight became somehow tasteless. Many of them even left, and they had no interest in waiting for the result.

Su Li sat quietly on the high platform, paying her attention to Qi Chen’s platform.

Although She Yuan was powerful, his battle strength was at the same level as Qi Chen’s. No one could do anything to the other without using his ultimate skills.

In the end, She Yuan could only helplessly choose another high platform to occupy.

And just now, Yue Lin, who had recovered from her injuries, could control one of the high platforms occupied by the casual practitioners. The casual practitioner who originally occupied that one hurled all kinds of abuse, but there was nothing he could do about it. He jumped off the platform after a meaningless attempt.

As time passed by, night fell.

It was not midnight yet, but there would be no change of the people on the high platforms, for the living except those on the high platforms had already left the tactical matrix.

“The tryout has come to an end in advance!”

The tall elder appeared again with his voice thundering across the square. He glanced at the twenty high platforms with a short stop at Su Li’s, and then he distributed twenty jade tokens pending in front of the faces of the twenty people, saying faintly,

“Refine this token!”

Everybody began to refine the token as instructed. Su Li put her spiritual power into her token and sensed the connection between her and the jade token soon. And she found out the different use of the token, either.

It was the entry treasure to the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits and could be used as a monitor by the twenty-five sects to prevent the casual practitioners from getting the precious magic treasure.

Undoubtedly, the latter use should not be sensed or displayed; otherwise, no casual practitioners would come to the Secret Realm.

Seeing everyone had refined their tokens, the tall elder nodded with satisfaction. He cast a palm-sized spiritual boat, which expanded to the size of an attic in the air. Some of the practitioners below were astonished to see that.

“This is a middle-grade flying magic treasure. I have seen this only once. Normally, only those big sects could afford it!”

“Who on earth is this elder?”

“Definitely not from the three sects!”

“...”

The tall elder turned a deaf ear to the discussions below and said, “All of you, follow me to the entrance of the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits right now!”

Several casual practitioners were excited to take the spiritual boat for the first time, and they got on without hesitation, while those inherited disciples from the three sects remained modest though they were also curious.

“Hem, inexperienced bumpkins!”

Yue Lin snorted and looked back at Su Li, who didn’t move at all. She flew up to the boat as the first inherited disciple in disregard of the embarrassment of the other inherited disciples.

“Master, be careful!”

Lv You transmitted the sound. Su Li glimpsed casually at the green-robed elder in the crowd and nodded subtly. Then she jumped onto the deck of the spiritual boat.

Seeing everyone already went aboard the boat, the tall elder drove the boat and left without glancing at Wang Yu and others.

“The elder from the twenty-five sects is arrogant as usual...”

Elder Qing signed with feelings, and Wang Yu admired that slightly. They could never break through to Yuanying Realm with their whole life when they stayed in a small sect. One could achieve further in the path of cultivation only in a prominent sect.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu sighed helplessly in her heart.

She once had a chance to join Zihan Sect because of Yue Lin. However, she was beclouded by her greed and not satisfied with the reward she received. In the end, Yue Lin’s grandfather felt offended and forcibly planted Yue Lin into her sect, so, she did not get any compensation at all.

She regretted it when thinking of this.

However, there was no coming back.

...

The spiritual boat was flying rapidly in the high sky.

On the deck of the spiritual boat, every one of the twenty young practitioners, who were qualified to enter the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits, except those inherited disciples, had occupied a different place, not disturbing the others.

It was different for the five disciples from Huajian Sect.

In the corner of the deck, Yue Lin was surrounded by three inherited disciples from Fujian Mount and Qinghua Mount. They giggled from time to time, as if they were going for a trip instead of taking a risk in the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits.

“Junior Sister Apprentice Lin, rest assured! We will keep you safe in the Secret Realm!”

“Correct, as your senior fellow apprentices, we would not allow anyone to hurt you!”

Yue Lin had restored her natural beauty after cleaning herself up. Every twinkle and smile of her were full of charm and lure, which unhinged the other three around her.

Yue Lin said in a crisp, soft voice, “Thank you for your care. I’ve thought disciples of Huajian Sect are all indifferent, but you are so enthusiastic, which touch me deeply.”

Her look was top among the female disciples of Huajian Sect, and now when she behaved in a spoiled manner, the other three were immediately mesmerized.

Yue Lin looked full of tenderness, but she was cold and without any emotion in her heart.

She was not fully recovered, so she needed a few guards. These inherited disciples of Huajian Sect were easy to get fooled.

Then, her gaze landed on Su Li, who was not far away and closed her eyes for meditating. Yue Lin’s eyes were cold and nasty as if she was looking at a dead person.

“Even if the poison didn’t kill you, you are definitely unable to escape from Zihan Sect!”

Her hatred was transferred to Su Li at that moment. And she didn’t care about Fan Zisang, who had been a thorn in her side.

Distant from Yue Lin and the other three, Fan Zisang was leaning on a spiritual boat’s railing. He was worried about seeing this scene.

“This woman stood up against a disaster for me... I have to remind her!”

Seeing Su Li looked so indifferent with her eyes closed, Fan Zisang still made up his mind to stand up, walked to Su Li, and sat beside her. He hesitated for a moment and transmitted the sound, “Fellow Practitioner...”

Su Li opened her eyes by hearing this and turned her eyes to Fan Zisang emotionlessly, which gave him the creeps.

“Yes?”

A voice, which was as cold as spring water, made Fan Zisang nervous. But he took a breath and continued transmitting the sound, “Be careful of Yue Lin’s revenge in the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits! Yue Lin’s grandfather is an elder of Zihan Sect. If she sends a message to Zihan Sect, they may take action against you in the Secret Realm! Moreover, the other three men from my sect seem to be bewitched. I am afraid...”

“I see.”

Su Li interrupted Fan Zisang coldly and left for another place to sit.

Fan Zisang was stunned and then shook his head helplessly with a wry smile in his heart. Her reaction... She must’ve regarded him as a lecher, who had hit on her. She possibly didn’t care about what he said just before.

“It is a pity that I can’t even keep myself safe, and I even don’t know if she can escape from Yue Lin’s revenge...”

After sitting down again, Su Li didn’t take a look at Fan Zisang but frowned. She planned to attract Yue Lin’s attention to herself so that Fan Zisang would be temporarily out of danger. She hadn’t expected that Fan Zisang would come to remind her.

When she noticed that Yue Lin looked at Fan Zisang full of hatred, she realized that her effort was wasted.

“Well, it’s okay. I’d better find Fan Zisang as soon as possible after entering the Secret Realm. The Poisonous Spirit Devouring Insect inside him has to be dealt with after all.”

Without being entangled in the issue, Su Li became silent again after she glimpsed at Fan Zisang, who didn’t dare come over again.

After a half-day, a mellow and full mount, piled up with green stones, came into view. It looked like a green cloud falling on the ground.

“It’s the Green Water and Cloudy Mountain. We are at the entrance of the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits!”

Somebody recognized the landform and exclaimed. Then lots of people looked outside, too.

The spiritual boat descended quickly, and the Green Water and Cloudy Mountain was magnified. After flying over a green belt, they entered the Green Water and Cloudy Mountain.

Whoosh!

After the spiritual boat flitted over a mountain, a giant pit with a plain bottom surface came into view. The pit was surrounded by stones, which formed a perfect circle.

The bottom of the pit was brightly lit as if it was daytime. One could vaguely see the crowd on the giant platform from the spiritual boat, while there was an arch, which was tens of meters high, standing in the center of the platform. Inside of the arch, ripples were emanating and reflecting an image different from the outside world.

Several casual practitioners, who had never been here, were amazed to see such a spectacular sight.

“Nature is so wondrous that such a natural spectacle can occur!”

“Just seeing the entrance to the Secret Realm makes the trip worthwhile!”

“...”

Su Li held on the railing of the spiritual boat with her eyes flickering with a faint fluctuation.

It was similar to the scene when she had opened the Reincarnation Mirror before. The only difference was those below now were just juniors of Zhuji Realm, while the top talents of the entire Jiuzhou Region gathered back then!

She closed her eyes slowly and took a deep breath. Her suddenly opened eyes flickered with a frightening harsh flash.

“In this life... I will not make any mistakes! Whoever owed me back then... I will pay them back for their debts! Now... I’ll begin from the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits!”

Rumbled!!

The spiritual boat landed at the edge of the ring-shaped rocks, and the tall elder stood straight, looking at the scene beneath the stones. A trace of inscrutable nostalgia flashing across his face as he indifferently said,

“After falling through the tactical matrix onto the platform below, you just need to wait for the opening of the Secret Realm at ease. Only practitioners with bone age less than eight hundred years can get through the tactical matrix, of which I don’t need to remind you, and you should also know this. Now go down, all of you.”

As soon as the tall elder finished his words, some couldn’t wait to get through the tactical matrix. Su Li was the last one, and she began to go through the tactical matrix after Fan Zisang jumped down.

At this moment, the tall elder shot a jade token to her suddenly, “If you can come out of the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits alive, you can join Leiyu Sect with this token and become a disciple of Neimen Branch. There is no future... as a casual practitioner!”

Said the tall elder. He left and didn’t even wait for an answer from Su Li.

“Leiyu Sect, the thirteenth one among the twenty-five sects...”

Su Li smiled and took a look at the jade token. With a little strength from her tiptoes, she fell like a feather.

After she left, the tall elder reappeared after a flash. He frowned,

“This girl doesn’t seem to care about the chance when she heard the name of Leiyu Sect? Or is she too unexperienced to know our sect?”

After a while of thinking, he shook his head and finally left.

It was unknown whether this girl could come out alive, so, it was pointless to think about it now.
