In that case, we'll have to search slowly. Once a magic weapon stops releasing its power, it's very difficult for cultivators to detect it immediately, because they are not living beings.
The Cloud Sect Ancestor scanned the area with his divine sense for a long time, but couldn't find even the slightest trace of the Blood Soul Blade.
It's troublesome. After all, the Wind-Weeping Rain Forest is so vast, and they didn't bring all the disciples of the Cloud Sect with them. They can't just do a thorough search on their own, so the Cloud Sect patriarch has to find some laborers.
"This is the only way. All cultivators in and around the Wind-Weeping Rain Forest, listen up! I am Jiang Yunhe, the Supreme Elder of the Cloud Sect. You must immediately enter the Wind-Weeping Rain Forest to search for the traces of the evil artifact. This evil artifact is a blood-red demonic blade. Any bladed weapon you find in the Wind-Weeping Rain Forest may be an evil artifact. I will reward the person who finds it with 30 million spirit stones. If a cultivator from your sect finds it, your sect will be rewarded with 50 million spirit stones. Do not be afraid. This evil artifact has no power left and will not harm you." The Cloud Sect Ancestor loudly transmitted his voice using his magic power.
When this news came out, everyone was excited, especially the independent cultivators. They weren't interested in the treasure itself, but the 30 million spirit stones were an irresistible temptation for them.
For an ordinary sect, fifty million spirit stones is a huge sum of money.
Therefore, a large number of independent cultivators flocked to the Wind-Weeping Rain Forest to conduct a thorough search for the Blood Soul Blade.
Not only that, the Cloud Sect Patriarch also ordered the people of the four lower-level sects to enter the rainforest to search. For the four lower-level sects, it was a direct order, without any benefit whatsoever.
The benefits between them need to be discussed privately, since they are in a subordinate relationship.
This left Yun Yun and the others somewhat helpless. They certainly couldn't openly defy the orders of the Yun Sect, so they still led their people into the rainforest.
As for Lin Aoxue, she has already returned to the camp.
However, as soon as he returned, he heard the voice transmission of the Cloud Sect Ancestor.
"The Blood Soul Blade escaped?" Lin Aoxue muttered in confusion.
After saying that, she immediately went to find Ye Liuyun, intending to tell him to leave.
Although she didn't want to return to the sect just like that, the Wind-Weeping Rain Forest was definitely not a place to stay for long. It was better to leave. Even if they didn't want to go back, they could go and explore other places.
"Liu Yun, Liu Yun, we should go. My master wants us to leave this place." Lin Aoxue called out a few times from the doorway.
But after calling out a few times without getting a response, she went straight in. Once inside, she found Ye Liuyun meditating, which puzzled Lin Aoxue.
"Hey? With things like this, how can you still be focused on cultivation?" Lin Aoxue walked over and called out again.
However, she soon noticed that something was wrong with Ye Liuyun, because she felt that Ye Liuyun seemed to be sleeping.
"Huh? Asleep? No way?" Lin Aoxue carefully checked Ye Liuyun's condition and, after confirming that Ye Liuyun was indeed asleep, nudged her.
"Wake up, Liuyun, wake up." Lin Aoxue pushed her a few more times.
Ye Liuyun, who was resting and recovering his energy, reluctantly opened his eyes after being disturbed by Lin Aoxue several times.
"Ah! You're back. I'm so tired. Let me sleep a little longer." Ye Liuyun looked at Lin Aoxue with a weary expression.
"Huh? What's wrong with you? Did you take the wrong medicine?" Lin Aoxue was confused.
"I'll explain when I've regained my energy. Please don't bother me now, I'm really too sleepy, please." After saying this, Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes and fell asleep again.
This left Lin Aoxue somewhat helpless. Although she didn't know what was going on with Ye Liuyun, judging from his appearance, it didn't seem like he was faking it, so there was nothing she could do.
And just then, Yun Yun sent another message, but this time it wasn't telling Lin Aoxue to go out immediately, but rather to not run around for the time being, and to wait until everything was resolved before returning to the sect with her.
Lin Aoxue could only inform Yan Yu and Chen Yao first, telling them not to act rashly and to wait until this incident was over before making any decisions.
Time passed slowly amidst this thorough search. The Cloud Sect Ancestor determined a general area, and as long as everyone searched this area, they would surely find traces of the evil artifact.
"Damn it, where is this evil artifact hidden?" A cultivator from the Tianfu Sect found an embroidered knife in the water. It was a human-grade magic weapon, but it was definitely not what they were looking for.
However, just in case, they put the thing away.
As they searched, they happened to arrive at the area where Ye Liuyun and his group were located. The guy leading this group looked somewhat familiar; it seemed to be the same person who had clashed with Ye Liuyun and his group at Wanbaolou last time.
Normally, ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to detect the formation here with Ye Liuyun and his group. The reason why the Yun Sect experts couldn't detect it was because this area was isolated by Lin Qingyou's power.
However, Ye Liuyun's formation here was unfortunately discovered by a disciple of the Tianfu Sect who was knowledgeable about formations.
"Eh? A battle flag? Everyone be careful, something's strange here." A young man from the Tianfu Sect, while searching for the demon sword, spotted a small flag that was cleverly hidden in a secluded area.
After he finished speaking, the people from the Tianfu Sect immediately stopped and waited for the disciple to pull out the array flag.
The flag he pulled down happened to be part of a concealment formation, a formation that concealed the treehouse above.
Lin Aoxue and the others were the first to realize that the formation had been broken.
"Oh no, the formation has been discovered." Lin Aoxue and the other two's expressions changed, and they quickly came out of the treehouse.
The disciples of the Tianfu Sect removed the array flags and then looked around.
"Senior Brother, look up!" The treehouse had been discovered after all.
The top disciple of the Tianfu Sect raised an eyebrow upon seeing this scene. It was quite interesting that someone had set up a camp here, and their methods were rather unusual.
"Who are you? How dare you tamper with the formation of my camp?" Lin Aoxue, along with Yan Yu and Chen Yao, descended from the sky and landed in front of the Tianfu Sect disciples.
The members of the Tianfu Sect immediately prepared for battle.
However, they breathed a sigh of relief when they discovered that three beautiful female nuns had landed.
"We apologize, ladies. We are disciples of the Tianfu Sect, ordered by the Yun Sect to search for traces of evil artifacts. We accidentally discovered the formation here and had no intention of disturbing you," the Tianfu Sect member said.
Lin Aoxue sized up the group of people and noticed that the leader looked familiar; she seemed to have seen him somewhere before.
"Tianfu Sect, oh, I remember now, that guy from Tianbao Tower last time." Lin Aoxue quickly remembered who this person was.
She already disliked this guy, and unexpectedly, they met again.
"I naturally heard Yun Zong's orders, but does that have any direct connection to your destruction of my formation?" Lin Aoxue asked coldly.
Lin Aoxue's assertive attitude immediately displeased the top disciple of the Tianfu Sect.
“Young lady, please speak more politely. The Yun Sect has asked us to search for traces of the evil artifact, and this place of yours is concealed by an array. Without breaking your array, how can we be sure that the evil artifact isn’t hidden here? Also, I’m currently searching for traces of the evil artifact, so please don’t disturb me. Otherwise, don’t blame the Tianfu Sect for being impolite.” The Tianfu Sect’s eldest disciple snorted coldly.
Lin Aoxue liked people like this top disciple of the Tianfu Sect because they made her itchy to do something. She held back last time, but this time, it was hard to say.
"Really? Interesting. You mean you want to check our camp again and see if the evil artifact is hidden on us, right?" Lin Aoxue asked back.
"Heh, so what if it is?" The eldest disciple of the Tianfu Sect sneered, arms crossed.
Chen Yao didn't want Lin Aoxue to have a relationship with them, so she took the initiative to step forward.
"You must be Senior Brother Mo from the Tianfu Sect. I am Chen Yao from the Yuming Sect. This is our temporary camp in the Wind-Weeping Rain Forest. Please don't make things difficult for us, Senior Brother Mo." Chen Yao took out her identity token and revealed her identity.
The eldest disciple of the Tianfu Sect glanced at the token in Chen Yao's hand and immediately recognized it as the token of a direct disciple of the Yuming Sect. He also recognized Chen Yao, as he hadn't paid close attention to the person standing behind Lin Aoxue earlier.
"Oh? It's Junior Sister Chen. I didn't expect Junior Sister Chen's camp to be here. That's a bit of a surprise. In that case, we'll skip the body search. However, we need to check your treehouse, since it's possible that the evil artifact could be hidden inside." The senior disciple of the Tianfu Sect softened his attitude slightly after seeing the token.
But he didn't intend to let it go.
Chapter 227 I Couldn't Hold Back Anymore (4000 words)
This guy is a troublemaker, as you can tell from his previous conflict with Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.
You can't say he likes to cause trouble, but he's very sensitive, and even the slightest unpleasant thing can be unbearable for him.
You could offend someone like that with just a glance or a single word.
Just like Ye Liuyun's previous life, there was a lame joke. What joke was it?
That's the famous "What's wrong with me glancing at you?"
This means that if you look at someone, that person might get angry, hit you, or curse at you because of that glance.
Human behavior does not follow a unified logic; each person develops their own unique logic as they grow up.
Of course, this is subjective logic, not objective logic. To truly judge whether something is right or wrong, we need to use objective logic.
Never judge other people's behavior based on your own thinking; two different subjective logics are almost impossible to coexist.
For example, Lin Aoxue thought that this senior disciple of the Tianfu Sect was a complete idiot.
However, the eldest disciple of the Tianfu Sect had his own logic: he was simply unhappy.
He liked it when people treated him politely, but unfortunately, Lin Aoxue didn't give him any face at all, especially when other fellow disciples were present. When she didn't give him face, he felt a kind of frantic, itchy, and unhappy feeling inside.
His behavior is not directed at any one person, but at everyone.
To put it bluntly, this guy has a mental block; he can't stand the slightest disrespect from others. This kind of person is actually quite common. Most of them have experienced some unpleasant things during their growth, which then created psychological trauma.
This reaction is also called a stress response, and it is triggered by certain things.
The top disciple of the Tianfu Sect was named Mo Wen. Before joining the Tianfu Sect, he was a wandering beggar.
If it weren't for an elder of the Tianfu Sect discovering his promising talent for cultivation and bringing him into the sect, he might still be begging somewhere.
He had a turbulent childhood, didn't know who his parents were, and was bullied everywhere in the world. It's normal for him to develop such a sensitive personality.
However, the reason this guy became the top disciple of the Tianfu Sect was not due to luck, but rather to his ruthlessness and fighting spirit.
Throughout the entire Tianfu Sect, all the disciples of this generation fear him, because those who offend him rarely have a good ending. Even if it's just a small matter, he will remember it for a lifetime.
"Senior Brother Mo, you?" Chen Yao was stunned, and he wanted to say something.
But Mo Wen raised his hand, signaling Chen Yao to stop.
"Junior Sister Chen, please don't say any more. Let's just leave it at that. I've already given you face," Mo Wen said calmly.
Chen Yao's expression changed. She hadn't expected that Mo Wen wouldn't even give her face and insisted on searching their camp.
Based on her understanding of Lin Aoxue's personality over this period of time, Chen Yao knew that Lin Aoxue would absolutely not allow it. Helpless, Chen Yao could only send a telepathic message to Lin Aoxue.
"Little sister, why don't you reveal your identity? As the young sect leader of the Cloud Mist Sect, I believe he will back down once you tell him your identity," Chen Yao suggested.
But who is Lin Aoxue? First of all, she has the ability to deal with these people, so why would she use her status to intimidate them? Using one's status to threaten others is the behavior of an incompetent person.
“No need. I can take care of these guys with ease. Besides, you might not know this, but I know this guy. I had a conflict with him when I was in Silent City, but I was disguised back then.”
“I wanted to teach this guy a lesson last time, but I was stopped by Cheng Nei and Liu Yun. But this time I won’t hold back. Don’t interfere. Liu Yun always says to be forgiving, but I think that depends on who you’re talking about. This guy just needs to be taught a lesson.” Lin Aoxue rejected Chen Yao’s suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yao hesitated for a moment, knowing that Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun were two people with completely opposite personalities.
Lin Aoxue never procrastinates; she does what she says she will do. Ye Liuyun, on the other hand, is very cautious and dislikes trouble.
However, Ye Liuyun wasn't afraid of trouble; she just felt that some things didn't need to be resolved through killing, so she would resolve them with gentler methods.
"Junior Sister Chen, I've already given you face by considering that we six major sects are on the same side. I hope you won't stop me from searching." After saying this, Mo Wen immediately ordered his subordinates to search.
But just as the disciples of the Tianfu Sect flew up, a flash of blue light appeared in Lin Aoxue's eyes, and clones formed from the power of wind flew out of her body and appeared in front of the Tianfu Sect disciples.
"Eh?" The disciples of Tianfu Sect changed their expressions when they saw Lin Aoxue's clone.
Unfortunately, these people were too weak, none of them even reached the Spirit Pattern Realm. Lin Aoxue's clone easily knocked them down from the sky, and she didn't hold back.
Several people fell into the mud, their mouths full of mud, and they couldn't get up no matter what they did. The other disciples of the Tianfu Sect quickly helped them up.
"You?" Mo Wen and the others' expressions changed upon seeing this scene.
With just this one move, they knew very well that the woman in front of them was not someone to be trifled with; she was very strong, possibly stronger than all of them present.
The disciples of Tianfu Sect involuntarily took a few steps back, maintaining a safe distance from Lin Aoxue.
"Senior Brother, this woman is no ordinary person. Judging from her methods, she should also be a cultivator from a sect. We might not be a match for her." The people around Mo Wen immediately cowered.
They know their own limitations very well.
Knowing full well that you're no match for a direct confrontation, yet still resorting to force, is simply foolish.
Mo Wen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He clenched his fists tightly. Even though he knew his opponent was very strong, he still did not intend to back down. At the same time, he glanced at the sky out of the corner of his eye.
When he saw that there seemed to be quite a few Dao Palace cultivators passing overhead, he loosened his fist again.
"Hehe, impressive. It seems you are a fellow Daoist. However, are you trying to oppose the Yun Sect? We are here on orders from the Yun Sect. Didn't you hear the orders from the Yun Sect's Supreme Elder? Are you trying to hide evil artifacts by violently obstructing our search?" Mo Wen questioned loudly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Dao Palace cultivators flying in the sky heard them and immediately locked onto the area.
While this guy might be considered brainless, he does have some sense; he deliberately tried to attract the attention of the Dao Palace cultivators above him.
In that case, Lin Aoxue can't just take action casually.
Lin Aoxue was also the first to notice that several Dao Palace cultivators were approaching. Her lips twitched; she couldn't take the blame for this.
"What's going on?" Sure enough, at that moment, several Dao Palace cultivators descended from the sky.
They mainly thought someone had found an evil artifact, so they came to check.
Lin Aoxue definitely couldn't defy Yunzong's search order in front of so many people; doing so would only allow this guy to smear her reputation.
---------------------------------
"Seniors, I am Mo Wen, the chief disciple of Tianfu Sect. Our Tianfu Sect was ordered to search for evil artifacts, and we accidentally discovered a hidden camp here, and then we happened to break through the protective formation here."
"Then these three fellow Daoists appeared and questioned us about why we broke the formation. We have already explained that it was to search for evil artifacts. However, this young lady not only refused to cooperate with us, but also attacked our Tianfu Sect disciples and obstructed our search. Please, seniors, judge this matter." Mo Wen immediately complained.
Lin Aoxue's lips twitched violently; she knew this guy was going to cause trouble.
But to be honest, this guy is currently on the right side, so she really can't refute him.
