Chapter 270 Change (2/2)
In fact, she had started working on her Dead or Alive point and tried to obtain mana. She began to dabble in the proper state of cultivation.
The inn was nowhere near the standard of Shen Lian's ”An Inn”. However, it had wide windows that allowed plenty of light in. Moreover, Shen Lian was able to observe the streets from his windows. The street was flanked with rows of plane tree on both sides. The streets were clean and neat, and it could be considered as one of the main attraction in the small town.
The night was dark, and Shen Lian was teaching Ruoxi another incantation on the cultivation of Qi. It was the Shenzu Scripture that he used to cultivate. Seeing how Ruoxi's meridians were all unblocked, it would not be difficult for her to cultivate it.
She was breathing in and out evenly at a long tempo. The Qi of heaven and earth shrouded around her, and she was covered in thin layer of mist as though she was a little fairy.
The night breeze blew in, and the Plane trees swayed in the wind. As though they were making their little nocturne under the moonlight, it was both quiet and peaceful. Shen Lian was thinking hard under the moonlight.
He cocked his head and looked out. A hint of pleasant scent crept in along with the night breeze, and Shen Lian stared beyond the Plane trees leaves and the river-like moonlight.
The person who came walked without making so much as a sound. However, the tempo that interfered with the Qi of heaven and earth surfaced in Shen Lian's heart. It was not filled with killing vibes at all. It was as though a lotus flower was dancing against the wind. Within moments, Zhao Xiaoyu appeared on the streets.
In a flash, she went the rooftop opposite. Under the moonlight, she was as beautiful and moving as a fairy was.
Her gentle smile was captivating.
Shen Lian shifted slightly and went over to the rooftop opposite. The area was quiet, and there were only the both of them and the full moon hanging high up in the sky. The moonlight streamed down gentle the way mercury would.
”How did you find me?” Shen Lian frowned.
He had hidden his whereabouts, and not even an immortal Zhenren could track him down. How did Zhao Xiaoyu manage this feat?
”Don't forget, there are a lot of ways to search for someone besides utilizing my supernatural powers. The Nine Lotus Order is more influential than you think in the mortal world. Moreover, you didn't even bother camouflaging when you are in the mortal world, of course, my believers would be able to recognize you,” Zhao Xiaoyu spoke as she laughed.
Shen Lian thought this would be his mistake. He had been away from the mortal world for too long and had ended up missing some of the details. The power of mortals had an important role to play in crucial moments like this.
However, now that he was aware of this loophole, it would not take much to patch it back up.
Despite that Taiwu Sect being the holy land of the north, its influence would not reach all of the mortals. On the other hand, Nine Lotus Order was able to extend their claws to the roots and made the people as their eyes and ears. In fact, some deities who attained the Shen celestial path were able to know everything there was in the world through their believers.
”I have overlooked this,” Shen Lian replied.
”Dear Chief Shen, you are quite the character aren't you? To think that you have entered Taisu Sect as though it was a deserted land and even abducted Fairy Tianmeng's closest direct disciple! With your desperate sword aura and your dauntless bravery, not even the combined power of the Three Elders of Taisu could make you stay. You have made quite a name for yourself,” Zhao Xiaoyu spoke.
”Please don't tell me that you believed these rumors. The Three Elders of Taisu have been immortal Zhenrens for the longest time and are honored as land immortals. Do you honestly think that I can come out alive if they have joined forces? I'm not Lu Jiuyuan,” Shen Lian smiled.
”I'm just joking. Even knowing that you were going to rescue your niece from Taisu Sect around this time and the description from my sources matches you, I still couldn't believe that you are the person they described. However, I did not make this rumor up. It is just that no one knows that the person was, in fact, you, Shen Lian. Most have guessed that this was a revenge of a supreme master celestial of sword on Taisu Sect,” Zhao Xiaoyu replied. Seeing how the person described by the rumors was Shen Lian indeed, even if the Three Elders of Taisu did not join forces, she was curious as to how Shen Lian managed to make his way out from Taisu Sect and rescued his niece.
