A life of clearness

Chapter 244 Whose order?

Princess Ji might not know the white-robed male cultivator, but Rong Qing and Hong Fei knew him.

Especially Hong Fei, looking at the two figures walking away from the mountain gate, he murmured in disbelief: "Xuan Gu..."

The leader of one of the peaks of Liuguang Sword Sect, and also Hong Fei's Taoist partner.

Someone of this status came to open the mountain gate restriction for Concubine Ji...

"Whose order could it be?"

Shock and anger only lasted for a moment. Rong Qing thought quickly.

The possibility that Xuan Gu owed a favor to Concubine Ji was too low. And Xuan Gu would not ignore the rules of the Sword Sect just because he owed a favor. And Concubine Ji was even less likely to use her beauty to seduce Xuan Gu to open the ban.

Then there is only one possibility left.

That means Xuan Gu was following the orders of a high-ranking official.

Who could it be? ! !
……

Excluding Rong Qing, there are only four core members of the Sword Sect left.

Ji Ming, Chu Yuan, Chong Yu, Chong Ji.

At this moment, Princess Ji...saw everything.

The main peak has a simple structure. The dark black building is magnificent. Going up the stairs that seem to have no end, you will see palaces scattered among the snow, exuding the breath of timeless times.

Anyone who saw such a huge mountain would think it had existed for tens of thousands of years. But in fact, it was once destroyed by the Sword Master Ji Ming because he was not satisfied.

At the top of the main peak, the temple was not very large, but it was very delicate and beautiful. The fish-scale tiles reflected the rays of light pouring down from the center of the sky, creating a dazzling halo. The wooden signs on the eaves were blown up, and occasionally there was a crisp clapping sound.

The palace door was wide open, revealing the entire scene inside.

In the center and deepest part, a man with a face and strength that looked down upon the world sat on a black throne. His long snow-white hair flowed at his feet, and his clear golden eyes were as ruthless as the way of heaven.

Next to the throne, a handsome young man was standing with his hands hanging down. A bright red teardrop mole at the end of his eye added a touch of romantic beauty to him.

On both sides of the throne sat two flawless, cold and indifferent sword cultivators, who looked exactly alike. They sat opposite each other as if looking in a mirror.

Being stared at by these four people, Princess Ji's eyes were not filled with greed for the rare beauty in the world, but her pupils shrank, as if she had seen the most terrifying existence in the world.

Like a mortal, she was sweating profusely. Concubine Ji couldn't even utter a single word of the speech she had prepared along the way. What filled her mind was overwhelming fear.

Even though they just looked at her indifferently, the feeling of being stared at by a fierce creature aroused her instinctive fear and pain.

All those admirations for the Sword Master Ji Ming could go to hell. Princess Ji's face turned pale as paper. Under the invisible huge pressure, she could no longer hold on and knelt in front of the palace with her knees bent.

Xuan Gu also stopped outside the hall and bowed to the sword masters inside the hall.

The order he received was only to bring Concubine Ji here. As for the rest? It had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't control it.

In the Sword Sect... It's ridiculous that even the Sword Sect disciples don't know much about the Sword Master's lineage. The core and center of a sect can actually remain a mystery within the sect. Everyone finds it incredible.

But in fact, the Sword Sect is such a place. Even if the Sword Masters don't care about worldly affairs, the strict and numerous rules within the Sword Sect allow the sect to operate normally. Even if there are problems, there is the power of the Chongyu Sword Master to correct them.

Thus, the Liuguang Sword Sect continued to exist for thousands of years in this seemingly irrational and reasonable way.

...Who gave the order is obviously not that important.

Rong Qing suddenly realized that she was facing another situation beyond her expectations: Concubine Ji had entered the range of Liuguang Sword Sect. Perhaps she was under the protection of a certain sword master.

She glanced sideways at Hong Fei who was standing beside her. Just as she was about to say something, she saw that Hong Fei had already nodded in tacit understanding.

Hundreds of years in the Arctic snow mountains had cultivated a tacit understanding between Hong Fei and Rong Qing. When Rong Qing looked over, Hong Fei understood the meaning of her eyes.

Although Concubine Ji had passed the mountain gate and entered the Sword Sect, she still had time to stop them. And the best person to stop them was Hong Fei.

After all, Hong Fei is Xuan Gu's Taoist partner, and he always has the right to say a few words to his own Taoist partner, so as to buy some time.

But... "No." Rong Qing shook her head.

If Hong Fei goes to stop Xuan Gu, what about Zhong Xiu?
Follow Hong Fei... Princess Ji knew that Zhong Xiu was Rong Qing's weakness when she was fighting with Rong Qing at the beginning. At that time, at such a close distance, Princess Ji's chance of a successful surprise attack increased several times.

If Rong Qing stayed here... under the thunder, Rong Qing could not take care of herself, so how could she take care of Zhong Xiu?

Moreover, if Xuan Gu ignored Hong Fei, Hong Fei would have no other way to stop Xuan Gu or Concubine Ji.

Regardless of which sword master gave the order, Rong Qing was forced into an unfavorable situation.

"Take Ah Xiu away from here. I will first..." pass the thunder tribulation...

Rong Qing was halfway through her words when her eyes suddenly widened.

Depend on.

Almost forgot.

She had already arrived at the Sword Sect's mountain gate, so why should she go through the trouble of resisting the thunder outside the gate?

"I am so stupid..." Rong Qing whispered to herself.

Liuguang Sword Sect is recognized as the best place to pass the tribulation in this world. Chongyu and Chongji also passed their nine transformations of divine thunder tribulation in the Sword Sect. With the Sword Sect's mountain protection formation blocking it, why would Rong Qing have to be chased and struck by the tribulation thunder so aggrievedly? !

Originally, he had to summon the divine thunder tribulation outside the Sword Sect, but later, in order to avoid Zhong Xiu from appearing in the Sword Sect, he decided to deal with Concubine Ji in front of the mountain gate.

And now, since Concubine Ji has entered the Liuguang Sword Sect, Rong Qing can go in as well. She doesn't need anyone to open the door for her when she returns to her own sect.

Moreover, without the interference of the thunder, killing Concubine Ji was even faster! !

"Senior Sister?" Hong Fei noticed that Rong Qing suddenly became agitated and asked in confusion.

The blood-red lightning that spread in the pit devoured all the excess thunder power in just a few breaths. The aura of the Great Destruction Thunder, which had devoured the Tribulation Thunder many times, had increased several times compared to before. In dealing with the Tribulation Thunder, the Great Destruction Thunder really had an advantage. As long as the Great Destruction Thunder could not be destroyed instantly, it could only feed back to make it more powerful.

The great destructive thunder was like a blood-red lake in the pit, but now it all converged and, with a roar, fell into Rong Qing's left eye.

Rong Qing stood up from the bottom of the pit and landed in front of Hong Fei. His left eye was bloody and his gaze was filled with incomparable pressure, forcing Hong Fei, who was half a step away from becoming a god, to take a step back with trembling heart.

"Hong Fei," she said with a slight curve in her lips, "You protect Ah Xiu and stay outside the mountain gate."

The look in his eyes is so dazzling that one dares not look directly at him.

"And I... will go in and chop off Concubine Ji's head."
