After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 357

It turns out that Xue Heng's return this time was not really to rejoin the tribe, but to "take" something!

She actually submitted to a powerful force and became their honored guest, all while using the name of their Bu Shen clan. The other party was very interested in their Bu Shen clan, so Xue Heng wanted to come back and try to steal some things from the clan to take with her, so as to gain merit.

This incident deeply saddened Ling Qing, because the Bu Shen Clan had always been united and loving, with an unbreakable bond between them. Even when they were constantly being hunted down and fleeing for their lives, their unity had never crumbled or wavered from within.

He wasn't one to keep quiet, and after learning the truth, he spoke directly with Xue Heng. Xue Heng hadn't expected to be exposed so quickly, and she cried and begged, saying that she had been forced into it.

"I don't want to live a life of constant wandering anymore. I want stability. I can't go back!" she said.

“You want to leave? Sure, but hand over all your skills before you go,” Ling Qing said at the time.

The divination skills of the Divination Clan are not something they are born with. You could say they are born with this "skill," but they need to learn it to master it fluently and use it freely.

If someone skilled in divination were to commit evil deeds, the consequences would be enormous. Ling Qing was a very perceptive person; he sensed that Xue Heng was heading down a dangerous path—

Having just left the tribe, how dare he return to steal from his ancestors? Can such a person restrain himself and refrain from doing evil after betraying his tribe?
Moreover, Xue Heng's talent is quite strong, second only to him. Such a person can be truly powerful when she wants to cause trouble, and her destructive power can be very great.

The Bu Shen clan has always been considerate of its members, and Ling Qing cannot bring herself to kill Xue Heng for this matter.

However, allowing her to leave with her skills would also have endless consequences.

Therefore, after weighing the options, he decided that as long as Xue Heng was willing to destroy her spiritual sea and lose the channel for divination and communication, then she could leave, and he was willing to give her freedom.

What she said wasn't wrong. These years of fleeing have been exhausting. If she wants to live a peaceful life like an ordinary person, living in seclusion, then he respects that.

He was even willing to give Xue Heng some valuable items so that she could live on her own.

After hearing what he said, Xue Heng burst into tears and begged him to change his mind, but Ling Qing insisted.

In the end, Xue Heng accepted this method. She destroyed her spiritual sea and left with the items given to her by Ling Qing. She never returned.

Seven years have passed since then, and this is the first time Ling Qing has heard about her in seven years.

He didn't expect that Xue Heng, who had clearly calculated the connection between the Immortal Sect and the Divination Clan, would still scheme against the Immortal Sect and not care about the lives of those two thousand disciples at all.

This is revenge, revenge against him, revenge against the Divination Clan!

The people of the Immortal Sect sighed after hearing his account of the whole story.

But then a problem arises.

"Didn't you say she destroyed her spiritual sea? Then why can she still perform divination? Did she lie to you back then?" Du Yue asked curiously.

“She did destroy her spiritual sea, she didn’t lie to me about that, but she must have found some kind of elixir during those seven years she disappeared,” Ling Qing explained. “However, I suspect that her spiritual sea has not fully recovered, at most only half of it.”

Ling Qing guessed that Xue Heng's divination skills were limited in both frequency and accuracy, which meant that while she could perform divinations, her predictions weren't always thorough...

For example, regarding the secret realm, if she still had her original level of skill, even if she had calculated that the Immortal Sect would go to the secret realm, she would have immediately calculated that doing so was destined to fail and might even cost her herself.

But she didn't. She only calculated half of it before impatiently telling the sect leader of Wuya Sect, showing her eagerness. What kind of person would be so eager?
Capable people are always unhurried, confident, and elegant, and they don't worry about being noticed by others.

Only a half-full bottle of water will shake itself to prove that it contains water.

That's right, she only recovered about 30-40% thanks to the medicine; holding a divination takes a lot of effort.

[This kind of incomplete divination is not considered qualified by the Divination Clan and should not be discussed publicly.]

[But she couldn't stay silent. To gain the status and identity she desired, she didn't hesitate to become Meng Ying's woman, only to discover that she possessed an exceptional constitution for becoming a furnace for cultivation!]

If she doesn't prove her usefulness to Meng Ying soon, she'll really be killed by the temptation. At this point, she has to hurry and tell everyone.

[Tsk tsk, but little did she know that this remark not only failed to eliminate the Immortal Sect and the Divination Clan, but also exposed her.]

Immortal Sect members: ...

It turned out to be the case.

However, it's quite pitiful that Xue Heng is actually a furnace physique.

Is this what they mean by "every pitiful person has something hateful about them"?
You tell me about her. Her talent was already exceptional even within the Divination Clan. If she had stayed quietly in the clan, she would have only needed to endure for another seven years to see the light at the end of the tunnel and witness the salvation of the Divination Clan.

Seven years is just a blink of an eye for the Divination Clan. They are born with a longer lifespan than ordinary cultivators. With just a little more patience, Xue Heng can end her days of fleeing and enjoy a peaceful life.

But she insisted on running away, even at the cost of betraying her clan and hurting the clan leader's feelings.

Now look what's happened! He escaped only to become someone's furnace. What a waste of his time!
To be honest, Xue Heng was quite unlucky, but no one present sympathized with her.

Because what she did was really hard to sympathize with. If it weren't for Mo Jiuwei from the Xianlai Sect, the two thousand people who entered the secret realm this time might have really died at the hands of the Wuya Sect.

If this comes true, then the sins she has committed will be enormous!

Ling Qing was puzzled, wondering why the people from the Immortal Sect had suddenly adopted such complicated expressions.

What just happened?
"Ahem, Jiuwei, do you think it's better for Chief Lingqing to handle this matter properly, or should we lend a hand?" Liu Feng noticed the change in Lingqing's expression and realized something, so he hurriedly asked Mo Jiuwei.

This is essentially asking: Can Ling Qing handle Xue Heng? Do we need to help her?
“I’ll go with you,” Mo Jiuwei said. “It’s perfect timing. I need to buy some things at the black market over there, so we can go together on the way.”

[Ling Qing is stronger than Xue Heng, and she was already on guard against her, so I can handle her.]

But I have to go to Radiant Heart City. Its black market is the strongest on the entire continent; I'm sure I can find what I want there.

But I can't go alone... Perfect, I'll take my seven maids with me, I'm going to travel and enjoy the scenery!

Mo Jiuwei felt a little bit of anticipation when she thought of her maid.

The senior brothers and sisters have just returned from the secret realm. They have all gained a lot and need some time to sort it out and digest it.

I don't need them to follow me, but I do need someone to take care of me, and that's what the maids are good for.
