She fixed her gaze on Song Yan and said, “You cannot open your eyes.”
Song Yan had known since returning from the Sea of Suffering that it would be impossible to conceal the truth, because the Hui Dragon’s corpse showed traces of refinement, and the thousand Ancient Bronze Coffins around had already been thoroughly refined by him.
Everything was fine in the other realms, except his.
Unless the Pill Elder and others were completely senile, they could surely guess what had happened.
He didn’t plan to hide it, but just… earlier, when both the Pill Elder and Senior Sister appeared, he already vaguely guessed Senior Sister’s current predicament.
Earlier, he deliberately mentioned “punishment,” hoping that the Pill Elder would send Senior Sister away, while also indicating that Senior Sister was unaware of his actions.
He truly did not wish for certain things to be known by Senior Sister.
The Pill Elder naturally hoped he would cooperate, so he suggested Ning Yunmiao go to face the Abyss.
However, Ning Yunmiao saw through it.
The Pill Elder said, “Speak.”
Song Yan said, “The only thing that can suppress a Forbidden Talisman is another Forbidden Talisman, but I was not certain of this, so I did not mention it to anyone beforehand. Now, it has succeeded. I used the ’Dragon Burial Law’ to suppress the Wa Text Curse…”
The Pill Elder squinted slightly, then turned his head to instruct a cultivator beside him.
The cultivator immediately landed, his Divine Soul exited his body and flew into the Sea of Suffering.
A moment later, a glimmer of surprise appeared in the Pill Elder’s eyes; he was evidently listening to the cultivator’s report.
Meanwhile, Ning Yunmiao and Song Yan exchanged complex glances.
Because both remembered Ning Yunmiao’s previous words on the Nine Cranes Void Ship: “If one day I discover you’ve secretly cultivated such evil sect methods, no matter where you flee, I will personally intervene and kill you!” To which Song Yan had replied, “Senior Brother, I will never touch such things.”
Now, the vow has been broken.
After a long time, the Pill Elder, having completed his information gathering and roughly deduced the truth, waved his hand and said, “Alright, Yunmiao Daoist Friend, you also know the situation now. Song Yan was forced into this.
His current situation is extremely complex. I must take him to see the Palace Master, and then the Palace Master will ascertain his threat level. As for you, having violated the sect rules and deliberately concealed the truth, go to the Southern Star Abyss.”
Ning Yunmiao bowed to Pill Elder, then fixed her gaze on Song Yan again and said, “There is no good or evil in the technique, only in people. Senior Sister does not blame you for cultivating evil techniques to survive. If I can see you again in a hundred years, I hope to see a righteous Sword Cultivator.”
Song Yan, with a complex heart, bowed to her and said, “I will certainly not disappoint Senior Sister.”
Ning Yunmiao suddenly pulled out a yellow-brown aged gourd from her breast and said, “I wasn’t able to teach you the ’Red Dust Technique,’ so I am giving you this little item for protection. This gourd is called the Red Dust Sword Gourd; it contains a Secret Realm, can carry mountains, can hold the Vast Sea, and when actively used, can reveal a small fraction of my power and unleash it entirely, equating to one of my attacks.”
With a push of her palm, the gourd flew toward Song Yan.
Song Yan caught it, and Ning Yunmiao continued, “My Sword Domain power is called the Seven Emotions Sword Mist. Once used, it envelops the surroundings and causes those in the mist to have their emotions materialized into weapons, which then attack them.”
Song Yan took the gourd, took a deep breath, and said, “Senior Brother understands.”
Ning Yunmiao gave him a deep look, then turned and flew far away, breaking through the realm.
Song Yan watched her leave.
…
Soon after, Song Yan suddenly felt the space around him being sealed, and a strong burning sensation rushed over him.
Looking up, he saw the Pill Elder overlooking him from above.
The Pill Elder unexpectedly attacked him without any warning after Ning Yunmiao left!
Song Yan hurriedly summoned all his strength to resist; the Pill Elder’s power pressed down with precision, leaving him unable to survive without giving his all.
However, just as the pressure reached its peak, it suddenly dissipated.
Pill Elder stood with hands behind his back, coldly smiling at him and said, “This gourd matches well with your Mo Luo.”
Song Yan: …
He already understood the reason for the Pill Elder’s sudden attack.
It was to test his Divine Thought Power.
The Pill Elder coldly said, “I was wondering earlier how your realm was just born, yet the Celestial Demon Palace could find your realm’s anchor point and invade in full force.
Now it seems, Yunmiao Daoist Friend said your physical body was destroyed resisting the first wave of the Wa Text Curse. It appears the destruction isn’t complete.”
Song Yan: …
The Pill Elder continued, “You’ve utterly disappointed me!
To survive, you resorted to any means possible.
You set one of the battles in your own realm just to conveniently control the situation and acquire what you wanted.
Earlier, Yunmiao Daoist Friend said your realm was damaged, and you would feel hurt, hehe… now it seems like a colossal joke.”
Song Yan softly said, “Is it wrong to want to live? If it were Elder you…”
The Pill Elder snorted coldly, interrupting him directly, “I would sacrifice myself for righteousness, not act like you, evil demon style, greedy for life and fearing death!”
Song Yan took a deep breath and said, “Has Pill Elder ever climbed step by difficult step from the bottom of the world?”
“Never,” Pill Elder replied blandly, then said, “Everyone has their fate; the process isn’t that important. I only focus on the outcome and judge a person’s character based on that.”
Without waiting for Song Yan to respond, he continued sternly, “Do not say more! The Palace Master actually attaches great importance to this battle; he is overseeing the Sword Palace and is watching every move here. Open your soul and spirit, let the Palace Master inspect you, then await your fate!”
Song Yan silently glanced at the brown gourd, put it away, then sighed softly and opened his arms.
