Chapter 137 - Unusual Skill
FenXiang Valley, Secret Chamber
The plain standing screen separated the space in the stone roorey quietly stood where he was, patiently waiting
After a long tied voice was heard from behind the screen, “I heard that junior brother you while investigating the nine-tailed celestial fox, your whereabouts were peculiar and at the last critical moment, you out of a sudden commanded the disciples to step down and return, is there such a thing?”
ShangGuan Ce’s lips revealed a hint of sneer, he hiuess from where Yun YiLan “heard” and fro Valley, other than himself, only Yun YiLan’s beloved disciple, Li Xun, was allowed to come in here and speak to him
Just that ShangGuan Ce did not dispute anything, only slowly said, “That’s right”
Yun YiLan re the senior brother ahten me?”
ShangGuan Ce facing the screen, slightly rose and said, “I don’t dare It was because Ithe nine-tailed celestial fox and because of that ordered the disciples to turn back immediately and also without delay return to the valley to report to senior brother”
Yun YiLan’s voice was clearly startled, said, “Who is that person that could actually made junior brother take him so seriously?”
ShangGuan Ce drawled out tords, “Evil shaman”
Behind the screen, it suddenly beca time there was not any sound
ShangGuan Ce patiently stood there, Yun YiLan’s reaction was already expected On that day when he saw the Evil shareat shock in his heart
After some time, behind the screen, Yun YiLan’s calm voice was heard, “They, eventually still could not resist”
ShangGuan Ce, from Yun YiLan’s voice, could not tell at all what this senior brother was thinking Was it anxiety, shock, he totally could not tell He stared at the screen, continued, “There is still one point…”
Yun YiLan with a “Mhm”, this time sounded quite surprised
ShangGuan Ce inhaled deeply, said, “In the Evil shaman’s hands, he had obtained the two items out of the five tribes sacred weapons: Black Staff and Jade Bone”
“What?” Yun YiLan finally could not maintain his coolness, exclaimed out behind the screen
A hint of sneer swept past ShangGuan Ce’s heart but the expression on his face never changed, said, “It must be the Evil Beast who had somehow found a Li tribe shaman master and imparted ‘Black Fire’ evil skill to hiht between Miao and Li tribes and from there, snatched the Black Staff with Jade Bone froreat shaman at Miao altar After that that Li tribe shaainst the Evil Beast but the Evil Beast was already well prepared, he allowed the evil shaman to use ‘Black Fire Essence Pearl’ to kill that person and took back the two sacred items”
Yun YiLan coldly snorted, said, “Such reckless guy still exist!” pausing for a while, his voice revealing a hint of harshness, said, “Those few sacred items were at stake, why didn’t you make a move?”
ShangGuan Ce with his indifferent expression, said, “By the time I arrived, the Black Staff Jade Bone were already in the evil shaon with him”
Yun YiLan becahed and said, “Heaven’s will, Heaven’s will ah! Our hundred years of planning, destroyed in one day!”
ShangGuan Ce remained silent

Qing Yun Hill, TongTian Peak
White clouds drifting, celestial air surrounding, this paradise-like world, cries of cranes, soft and clear, pleasing to the ear, reverberated in the horizon
The ‘Crystal Hall’ which was left in ruins after the battle ten years ago, right now had already been corand scale, surpassing its previous appearance Several huge red stone pillars supporting the bea under the sunlight, a scene of glory
In the centre of the roof, towering like spire, rings of green jade for to small, from the bottom to the top a total of thirty six levels, a yellow stone for and crystal clear
Eaves facing eight directions, lifting upwards, north, south, east, west engraved with golden dragons chasing pearls, northwest, northeast, southwest, southeast engraved with phoenixes flying and dancing, and in the dragons and phoenixes’ laze wind-bells, swaying with the winds, e the divinity atmosphere
In the cries of cranes and wind-bells chimes, Lu XueQi in white sloalked up the stone stairs in front of the Crystal Hall
Walking up the stairs, she occasionally passed by a few Qing Yun disciples ere sweeping, when they saw Lu XueQi, they nodded their heads in greetings, a lance, did not dare to take another look, their faces looking dohile blushi+ng and continued to work
Lu XueQi returned the greetings in kind, her face as usual expressionless, heading towards the lofty hall
Behind her, a loud sound of [hua la] was heard suddenly, a loud roar of waves broke the tranquility, Lu XueQi did not turn back, that was Qing Yun Sect spiritual beast guardian, water qilin, in the Jade Pool who had again climbed out of the water to snooze in the sun on the shore
Everything here, was that tranquil and harnation and thrown himself into a dirty bloody world?
Lu XueQi colance at that towering Crystal Hall and walked in
In the great hall, light shone in all directions froht and without any feeling of darkness Qing Yun Sect Head, the current world’s number one Good Faction, Reverend DaoXuan, with a sht, another person sat there, it was Lu XueQi’sYun Sect Small Bamboo Valley Head Shui Yue Master
Lu XueQi was surprised, upon her return from southern border, because it was Reverend DaoXuan who had sent her there so therefore she headed first to TongTian Peak to report to Reverend DaoXuan and then to see her teacher Shui Yue Master, she did not expect that her teacher would also be at TongTian Peak And in this Hall, other than Reverend DaoXuan and her teacher, there was no others, seemed like both of them waited especially for her return
When Reverend DaoXuan saw Lu XueQi walking in, he ah Shui Yue Master had always been detached but facing her favourite disciple, naturally it was different, fondness revealed in her eyes
Lu XueQi walked up, first bowed to Reverend DaoXuan, said, “Paying my respect to Reverend Sect Head”
And then turned to bow to Shui Yue Master but facing her hter relationshi+p, she was more casual and said, “Teacher, why are you also here?”
Reverend DaoXuan laughed and said, “I received news yesterday and knew you were returning today and so sent the news to your teacher At the same there are soht as well invite her over”
Lu XueQi acknowledged with a reply, Shui Yue Master sitting beside, watching her beautiful disciple, saw that on her snohite face, it was still expressionless but for some reason, her face indistinctly looked pale
Shui Yue Master’s heart was secretly shocked, her brows also frowned discreetly
Reverend DaoXuan did not have the years of familiarity with Lu XueQi as Shui Yue Master, and so did not detect anything unusual with her, smiled and continued, “XueQi, this trip to southern border, theValley valley master Yun elder, hoas it?”
Lu XueQi kept quiet for a moment then described what she had encountered in the southern border However, the final farewell scene in TianShui Stockade with Ghost Li, she omitted it
Reverend DaoXuan and Shui Yue Master did not speak, quietly listened to Lu XueQi’s encounters When they heard FenXiang Valley valley Guan Ce and Li Xun colanced at each other, their eyes had a strange expression but did not comment
Until the end, Lu XueQi expressionlessly told them about the Miao tribe Seven Miles Cave battle, Ghost Li’s appearance, the intense fights, Reverend DaoXuan’s face immediately turned cold and Shui Yue Master seemed to contemplate deeper, at the same time she knew her disciple’s heart and could not help but took a fewtheain when he was injured when she wielded ‘Celestial Sword Wield Thunder True Fore but a dark expression flashed by her eyes
ShuiYue Master gently heaved a sigh in her heart, closed her eyes
Reverend DaoXuan waited until Lu XueQi finished, retreated to where Shui Yue Master was standing, glanced at Shui Yue Master, coldly snorted and said, “Zhang Xiao Fan that evil creature, ten years ago I did not elier to invite calamity”
Shui Yue Master opened her eyes, intentionally or unintentionally she glanced at Lu XueQi, indifferently said, “This is all dictated by fate, it cannot be forced”
Lu XueQi’s face seerees
Reverend DaoXuan was quiet for a while, said, “From what XueQi described, these ten years, that person’s skills had ireatly”
Shui Yue Master slowly nodded, said, “Zhang Xiao Fan was able to use Sinister Orb in a blink of an eye to suck the blood out of several Li tribes warriors until their death, and after being injured by Li Xun he could still i Valley well-known pure Yang Jade Ruler also could not resist against it, this level of skills, is already not…” she looked at Lu XueQi, said, “already not below Qi’er and your branch’s Su YiCai’s level of skills already”
Lu XueQi was expressionless
Reverend DaoXuan instead shook his head slowly, Shui Yue Master was stunned, said, “What is it, senior brother thought I had judged wrongly?”
Reverend DaoXuan sighed, said, “That evil creature was first attacked by Li Xun and then again by Celestial Sword Wield Thunder True Formula, he did not lose his life there and then and instead could even fly up and hit back I guessed as resisting the Celestial Sword Wield Thunder True Formula’s power must be Tian Yin Temple’s true way, ‘Great Brah Way to break through the formation After he was near XueQi, XueQi said the ht fro brilliantly, itSinister Orb’s evil powers to stop XueQi Froe the three sects’ true ways, with his high level of skills, most likely he has already surpass our sect disciples”
He cast a sideway glance at Lu XueQi, said, “Just that most probably he was already spent, an arrow at the end of its flight so he was not able to further hurt XueQi, if not when XueQi’s Celestial Sword Wield Thunder True For defenceless and really in an ied Buddhisroups’ ie and unfathomable, in the future if you meet this person, you must be very careful”
Lu XueQi’s lips twitched, clutching the TianYa Sword and slightly releasing it, quietly said, “Yes”
Shui Yue Master saw her expression, sighed in her heart and then suddenly said, “Qi’er, you o back and have a rest first I still have matters to discuss with your sect head teacher uncle and will be going back later”
