Chapter 579: Chapter 329: Sweet Sister? Real Sister?!
It is said that their bloody battle with the White Socks Sect resulted in heavy losses. However, for a time, Duan Yun couldn’t gather much information, so he thought of asking the two experts, Leng Yimeng and Leng Yixue.
The Qingqi Bureau of the court is one of the most well-informed forces.
Unexpectedly, this inquiry indeed revealed some situations to him.
"The Qingqi Bureau has always been monitoring the matters between the White Sock Divine Sect and the Jade Maiden Sword Sect. This was previously managed by Senior Sister Su Lizhi."
Upon hearing the name "Su Lizhi," Duan Yun’s mind automatically conjured up the information: "Su Lizhi, unmarried, C cup, local Goddess Catcher of Yu State."
Because he had closely observed her in Yu State, and also because they became acquainted through a water-saving mission.
"The Martial World rumors say both the White Sock Divine Sect and the Jade Maiden Sword Sect suffered losses, not minor ones, but that’s only half the truth. The White Sock Divine Sect left Qinghe City not because their forces dispersed, but because they chose to withdraw voluntarily," Leng Yixue explained.
"Chose to withdraw voluntarily?" Duan Yun asked in confusion.
"They planned to concentrate their forces to annihilate the Jade Maiden Sword Sect."
"Annihilate?"
Duan Yun’s expression became serious.
"The Jade Maiden Sword Sect has shallow roots, but due to the oppression they faced, they could continually absorb ordinary people as disciples along their journey, giving a sense of endless growth. This is why they could fight the White Sock Divine Sect for so long. However, midway through, they faced betrayal."
"Betrayal?"
This piqued Shen Ying’s interest, who was initially thinking of sparring.
Leng Yixue looked at Duan Yun and said: "You should know, the Jade Maiden Sword Sect wasn’t a single lineage. The one fighting the White Sock Divine Sect was the lineage that learned from your chivalrous deeds, with unified rules and actions. There’s another lineage that has been developing, with a creed of ’making the Martial World feel pain,’ engaging in both heroic and some cruel acts.
This betrayal came from the latter lineage. They considered themselves the true Jade Maiden Sword Sect and thus allied with the White Sock Divine Sect to eliminate the former group."
"And as the chivalrous Jade Maiden Sword Sect was ambushed at the time of their heroic deeds, they could only retreat, while the White Sock Divine Sect and the painful Jade Maiden Sword Sect lineage saw this as an opportunity for extermination and concentrated their forces for the assault."
Upon hearing this, Duan Yun asked, "What is the current situation of the chivalrous lineage?"
Leng Yixue looked troubled and said, "This case is being handled by Senior Sister, so I’m not particularly clear, but what I do know is that the situation isn’t good."
Originally, this lineage of the Jade Maiden Sword Sect and the White Sock Sect were already at a stalemate, and now they face betrayal and assault. The situation is naturally unfavorable.
There might really be a possibility of extinction.
"Where can they be found?" Duan Yun asked.
"The Heroic Spirit Jade Maiden Sword Sect is fighting and retreating, and they have since moved to the Qingzhou Snow Mountain. You need to find Senior Sister Su Lizhi. My sister and I currently have no cases, so we’ll take you," Leng Yimeng said.
"That’s great then; let’s set off immediately," Duan Yun said.
Young Hero Duan has always had a style of taking action decisively; even as the night approached, he insisted on departing.
He bore a grudge against the White Socks Sect, which deserved its demise, and as for this painful Jade Maiden Sword Sect lineage that has strayed down a crooked path, he naturally intended to thoroughly cleanse them.
A young hero must indeed always be on the move.
"We’re going too!"
Feng Ling’er and Shen Ying said upon witnessing this.
"No need. This matter started because of me; I’ll handle it myself. Qinghe City is unstable right now, and you two need to handle the situation here," Duan Yun said.
Leng Yimeng quickly agreed, "Right, sisters, rest assured. With my sister and me around, Duan Yun won’t have any problems."
Saying this, she put on a protective elder sister demeanor and left with Duan Yun.
As they left, they displayed an air of triumph, striding boldly away.
Veins bulged on Feng Ling’er’s forehead as she remarked, "Isn’t the Qingqi Bureau’s Goddess Catcher supposed to be a pure white lotus? Why does this one feel so off-putting?"
Shen Ying also furrowed her eyebrows tightly.
At this time, the Murong brothers watched Duan Yun and the Goddess Catcher departing and commented, "Look at those three, they really seem like a family."
Shen Ying raised her eyebrows in anger, clenched her fist, and asked, "What did you say?"
The Murong brothers excitedly said, "The Twelve Layers of Spring Rain have finally shown its effect! They look like siblings, true siblings!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Ling’er and Shen Ying relaxed their brows and said, "You’re right."
