Li Bai immediately smiled.
"If fate allows, we will meet again. I think we will definitely meet again," Li Bai said casually.
And so, the two left Li Bai's residence with heavy hearts.
After leaving Li Bai's simple house, the two of them sighed at the same time.
"Ah! Li Bai, he really is just like the character described in the history books, a very easygoing person. However, the tragic ending of his previous life has been compensated for in this life. With the cultivation of the Transformation Realm, it seems that he has been in this world for hundreds or even thousands of years." Ye Liuyun said softly.
Lin Aoxue was stunned for a moment.
"No way? You're saying Mr. Li is a cultivator in the Transformation Realm? Senior Lin said that?" Lin Aoxue was very surprised.
"Yes, the jade pendant he gave us contains a sword intent. This is a powerful weapon. You are also a sword cultivator, so you should understand how precious this thing is," Ye Liuyun said as they walked.
"Sword intent? This? Mr. Li has actually comprehended sword intent. He truly deserves the title of Sword Immortal. Comprehending sword intent is one of the ideals of us sword cultivators." Lin Aoxue exclaimed in amazement.
The two left and returned to their lodgings.
However, at the same time, the officialdom of Jianglin City was in chaos tonight. The main cause of this chaos was the royal decree from Lin Aoxue. Wu Yingwen and others were searching everywhere for Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun had already returned to Yuelai Inn, but as soon as they arrived, they ran into Yunxin and the others who had just returned.
They returned after the two left, only to find that the two had not yet returned to the inn.
"Oh, you two are finally back! I never expected it. Junior Sister Ye, your literary talent is truly exceptional!" Song Shuwen and the others immediately surrounded them, praising them.
These guys were all over there at the time, but they all pretended not to know him. However, they saw Ye Liuyun's performance clearly and were amazed by his extraordinary abilities.
Ye Liuyun blushed and felt embarrassed. If Li Bai hadn't appeared, she might have been quite pleased with herself, but now that the main character had appeared in this world so ridiculously, it was a completely different feeling.
"Ahem, well, everyone, my sisters and I are a bit tired from shopping, so we'll head back to rest first." Ye Liuyun didn't want to get entangled with everyone any further on this issue.
"Hey? Don't go, Junior Sister Ye! We're so bored in Jianglin City, we need to find some fun. How about we have a poetry and lyrics competition in the inn to pass the time?" Song Shuwen quickly called out.
However, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue went directly into the room and closed the door.
"Huh? Why did you leave so soon? I'm still thinking about those poems." Song Shuwen said helplessly.
Let's take another look at Ye Liuyun,
"Ah... This is so embarrassing! Why did this happen? Li Bai has been reborn into this world, and I just happened to use her poem to decorate my cup," Ye Liuyun said excitedly.
"Ahem, what nonsense! Be more elegant. Don't you think it's strange to use a woman's identity to say you're pretentious?" Lin Aoxue immediately tapped Ye Liuyun on the head, reminding him.
Ye Liuyun immediately realized what was happening. Her face flushed slightly, but the shyness quickly disappeared.
"Oh well, I was really excited, but it's a pity we couldn't sit down and have a proper chat. We only exchanged a few words before parting ways." Ye Liuyun said with a hint of disappointment.
Although they were from the same world, they were still relatively unfamiliar with each other, so it wasn't easy for them to chat for too long.
"There were still some gains. We need to inform the sect about the Blood Demon Sect's gathering on the night of the full moon and let the sect make a decision," Lin Aoxue said.
After saying that, she immediately prepared to send a message to the sect.
"Don't rush, let's confirm the location of the Blood Demon Sect's headquarters first," Ye Liuyun interrupted Lin Aoxue.
When Lin Aoxue heard Ye Liuyun say this, she thought it made sense and there was no rush. After all, there was still a week until the full moon this month. Besides, if they weren't fully prepared, it didn't necessarily have to be this month.
"Alright, let's use the Divine Travel Pill to search," Lin Aoxue gestured.
Li Yun nodded, then took out the Divine Travel Pill and handed it to Lin Aoxue, who was definitely more meticulous and perceptive in terms of investigation than she was.
After taking the Divine Travel Pill, Lin Aoxue's consciousness immediately flew out of his body and arrived in the sky above Jianglin City. He felt that since it was the headquarters of the Blood Demon Sect in the Yun Sect territory, it must be quite large.
There didn't seem to be such a large-scale building on the surface, so it could only be in the underground palace. So she went straight underground to search for traces.
Sure enough, after darting around underground for a while, Lin Aoxue suddenly felt her consciousness hit an invisible wall and bounce back.
"Huh? What kind of power is this that can block my will?" Lin Aoxue was stunned.
Since her thoughts couldn't penetrate this area, Lin Aoxue could only fly out of the ground to see which region she was in.
When she came up, her expression immediately froze upon seeing the area. This was the northern part of the city, the most difficult area to search. It was inhabited by the powerful and wealthy of Jiangzhou Prefecture, and most of them were worldly officials.
"Damn it, they really know how to pick a place." Lin Aoxue flew over again, preparing to enter the North City to find the entrance to the underground. However, as soon as she approached the North City area, she encountered an invisible wall and could not break through it at all.
"This? An array?" Lin Aoxue was taken aback.
"Who is this master?" Just as Lin Aoxue was stunned, a majestic voice came to her ears.
Lin Aoxue's expression changed, and she immediately withdrew her thoughts, which instantly returned to her body.
It must have been detected by the Nascent Soul cultivator stationed in Jianglin City just now.
(After reading "The Longest Day in Chang'an," I felt that Li Bai's death was somewhat tragic, so I suddenly had the idea to write Li Bai into my novel. I hope you all won't mind?)
Chapter 247 A Bold Idea (5000 words)
Lin Qingyou once said that cultivators in the Transformation Realm can sense the existence of intentions, and it is indeed true.
Fortunately, Lin Aoxue reacted quickly enough, returning to her body at top speed the moment the other party noticed.
Otherwise, if they catch you, you'll be in big trouble.
Upon returning to her physical body, Lin Aoxue immediately opened her eyes, her expression extremely unpleasant.
"Huh? You're back so soon? It's not time yet. Did you find any clues?" Ye Liuyun asked as soon as Lin Qingyou woke up.
Lin Aoxue's expression was very solemn.
“The location has been found, but that place is probably difficult to reach. It’s underground and protected by a very special formation that even a thought cannot penetrate,” Lin Aoxue replied.
Ye Liuyun was stunned, so he immediately asked Lin Qingyou.
"Master, even you can't sense the location of the Blood Demon Sect's headquarters?"
Lin Qingyou shook her head.
“I actually discovered a special place in Jianglin City a long time ago. There is a formation there that specifically blocks divine sense and will. My soul power is really too weak. If I force my way in, it will consume too much soul power,” Lin Qingyou replied.
Indeed, we cannot waste Lin Qingyou's strength on such a small matter, so they need to resolve this issue themselves.
"Then, in which area is it located?" Ye Liuyun asked again.
“North City,” Lin Aoxue replied.
Upon seeing this location, Ye Liuyun's heart skipped a beat. This was the most troublesome place, as it was filled with the residences of officials from Jiangzhou Prefecture.
“There’s a very powerful cultivator over there. I was almost discovered by him just now. He must be a cultivator from the imperial court stationed here. So this is probably not something we can handle. I’ll report this to the sect right away,” Lin Aoxue said.
After saying that, Lin Aoxue started contacting Yun Yun, and this time Ye Liuyun did not stop her.
After receiving Lin Aoxue's message, everyone at the Yunxia Sect fell silent. If that were true, then this matter was beyond their ability to participate in.
Yun Yun specifically consulted with Yun Che about it.
"Junior brother, what do you think of this matter?" Yun Yun had already informed Yun Che of the message Lin Aoxue had sent back.
After learning about this, Yun Che was unable to offer any good advice for the time being.
“There’s definitely nothing our four sects can do about this anymore. If the Blood Demon Sect’s headquarters is in the northern part of Jianglin City, where the secular government is located, then the Blood Demon Sect must be connected to the person in charge of the imperial court,” Yun Che replied calmly.
The Blood Demon Sect's headquarters is located below the North City, and that powerful expert at the Transformation Realm is stationed in the North City. Therefore, it is impossible to say that there is no connection between the two.
"Do you think Yun Zong knows about this?" Yun Yun asked again.
Yun Yun really couldn't say for sure about this. The Blood Demon Sect's headquarters within Yun Zong's territory was right under Yun Zong's nose. It would be hard to convince anyone that Yun Zong was completely unaware of it.
"I think we should report this matter first and see what the upper sect thinks," Yun Che suggested.
Why would they find it difficult? That's because the imperial court generally doesn't get involved in the struggles of the cultivation world. Even if the Blood Demon Sect is an evil organization, the imperial court won't interfere until they cause harm to the mortal world.
The night passed quickly, and last night was definitely the most fun they had ever had since they came into this world.
Lin Aoxue received a message from Yun Yun early in the morning, basically telling them not to act rashly and to wait for orders.
"Ah! Isn't this just a complete waste of time? Let's ignore them and go see if my sister and the others have left Jianglin City yet," Ye Liuyun said.
Ye Liuyun's eldest sister is in Jianglin City, and Lin Aoxue's second sister is also in Jianglin City. They need to go and confirm this.
Then the two disguised themselves as men again, left the Yuelai Inn, and came to the street.
During the day, the number of women on the streets decreased several times over; only a few women were busy at work.
About ten minutes later, the two arrived at the gate of a mansion in the western part of the city. This was Ye Ninglu's husband's family home, but upon arrival, they found that the mansion was deserted.
The two then went to Lin Aoxue's second sister's house, only to find it deserted.
"Ah! It seems they really have all left, but we don't know where they went." Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun said with a sigh of relief but also with some melancholy.
"Alright, stop thinking about it. It's good that they're gone. At least it means they're safe, which puts our minds at ease in the cultivation world. Now we can only hope that our fellow villagers are alright." Lin Aoxue shook her head.
However, just as the two were preparing to go back, Lin Aoxue suddenly received a message from Yunxin.
"This? Something's happened." Lin Aoxue's expression changed after reading the message.
The two then immediately ran towards a certain area of Jianglin City.
At this moment, a large crowd had gathered at a canal wharf in Jianglin City. Four corpses lay on the bank, their deaths gruesome. Government officials were examining the bodies, while Yunxin and the others watched from a distance.
The onlookers were buzzing with discussion.
"What happened? The death is so gruesome. It doesn't seem like it was caused by human intervention." Some ordinary people felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the corpse.
These corpses had all been drained of blood, so they looked like mummies.
Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun arrived quickly and had already seen the corpses with their divine sense.
"This? This death scene, was it done by the Blood Demon Sect?" Ye Liuyun felt that the deaths of these people looked very familiar.
Lin Aoxue's expression grew increasingly cold and stern. These people were disciples of the Zixia Sect. They had gone out last night and had not returned. Not long ago, someone found several corpses on the canal, so they rushed over immediately. In the end, it was confirmed that these people were the four Zixia Sect members who had not returned last night.
The four major sects had an agreement that disciples must never stay out all night. If a disciple did not return by the appointed time, it meant something had happened.
The people from the Zixia Sect contacted the other three families immediately, so they all rushed here.
"Damn it, the Blood Demon Sect is too audacious, daring to secretly attack the disciples of our four families." The leaders of the four lower-level sects stood together with extremely gloomy faces, especially a Dao Palace cultivator from the Purple Cloud Sect. If this were not Jianglin City, he probably would have lost his temper.
"Calm down. The Blood Demon Sect is doing this on purpose, deliberately forcing us to take action. In the end, our four families will have to bear the responsibility for disrupting the order of the secular world," Yun Xin said calmly.
Indeed, although everyone was very angry, they understood this principle, and it was at this moment that they decided to calm down.
Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun also found Yunxin and the others, so they went over to them.
"The Blood Demon Sect has made a move?" Lin Aoxue asked as soon as she arrived.
The people from the other three sects immediately greeted Lin Aoxue with smiles as soon as they saw her.
"Fairy Lin, you've come too." These people all used respectful language.
Lin Aoxue's achievements were enough to earn their respect; none of the others present possessed the ability to fight against a second-level Dao Palace cultivator while only at the Spirit Pattern Realm.
"Well, what should we do with the bodies of these junior brothers and sisters? Should we let the government take them away?" Lin Aoxue asked, looking at the corpses.
With the enemy in the open and us in the dark, we really can't delay any longer. This is also the Blood Demon Sect's warning to them.
“That definitely won’t work. We’ll wait until tonight and then go to the government office to steal the body,” the Zixia Sect’s Dao Palace steward quickly said.
However, Ye Liuyun put forward a hypothesis.
"Hey, but the Blood Demon Sect killed someone and instead of destroying the evidence, they dumped the body in a conspicuous place like the canal. Don't you think they have a purpose?" Ye Liuyun reminded him.
Ye Liuyun's reminder was very important, immediately plunging everyone into deep thought, because something was indeed amiss.
“This young lady’s words have reminded us that if they threw the body into the canal and let the officials see it, they must have predicted that we would go to the government to take the body away. If they have colluded with the government and ambushed us there in advance, you might be arrested by the government as criminals. And we are bound by the rules and cannot lay a hand on ordinary people. Wouldn’t that be like walking into a trap?” said the Dao Palace expert from the Yanxia Sect.
This possibility is indeed very high. They are really too constrained in Jianglin City. This is a typical case of having power but not being able to use it. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, they will probably have to put the matter aside for now with the corpses of their fellow disciples.
——————————————————————————————————————————
"Damn it, this is so frustrating! The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. If they want to deal with us in secret, then we are completely helpless!" The Dao Palace expert from the Zixia Sect was very annoyed.
Soon, the bodies were taken away by the authorities. Since a murder had occurred, the authorities would definitely investigate, and they would certainly investigate the Zixia Sect as well.
They quickly returned to their respective camps and began discussing how to guard against assassinations by the Blood Demon Cult.
Inside the Yuelai Inn, at Yunxin's residence, a group of disciples from the Yunxia Sect sat discussing matters.
"The Blood Demon Cult has started making its move. We can't just sit here and wait to die. Let's not go out for the next few days," Yun Xin suggested.
The Blood Demon Cult is an evil cult; they don't care about the stability of the secular world.
"I've thought of another question. How did the Blood Demon Sect manage to kill these people without alerting the cultivators stationed in Jianglin City? I just took a look from afar, and these corpses didn't seem to have any superficial injuries, meaning they didn't put up much resistance," Ye Liuyun reminded him.
Every time Ye Liuyun reminded someone, he pointed out a key point.
