887: Chapter 247_5 887: Chapter 247_5 “Yes, Disciple understands.”
After her master’s voice faded, Yan Yourong immediately turned to Duoduo and Zhu Peng and said, “You two must cultivate diligently in the mountains.
Remember, no matter what happens, you must not leave the mountain.
I have matters to attend to.”
After speaking, Yan Yourong quickly left; she did not seek out Nie Jie right away.
Now, having heard her master’s words, she no longer trusted Nie Jie.
After all, Nie Jie was also one of the high-ranking members.
The only people she now trusted were her junior brother and sisters and her master’s wife, Li Ke.
Soon, Yan Yourong relayed what Cao Zhen had told her to Xiang Ziyu, Little Beiyan Yisheng, and Li Ke.
Upon hearing this, Li Ke quickly judged and said, “We need to inform Nie Jie about this matter, quickly.”
Yan Yourong, upon hearing this, instantly showed a look of confusion and said, “Inform Nie Jie?
Although I am also willing to trust you, Vice Sect Master, at this time…”
“Don’t worry about him,” Li Ke quickly responded.
“I have known Nie Jie longer than any of you.
I am certain that he is trustworthy.
Moreover, in the absence of Cao Zhen and myself from the Hundred Peaks Sect for a long time, your master has entrusted the sect to Nie Jie.
If Nie Jie were truly problematic, then our Hundred Peaks Sect would indeed be finished.
Of course, we must be cautious at this moment.
However, there is only one person we need to be watchful of.”
Li Ke paused before continuing in a low voice, “That person is Liè Yàn.”
“Liè Yàn?” Yan Yourong asked again in surprise.
“Master’s wife, are you suggesting he is problematic?
But he has always been uncompetitive.
Even after Nie Jie became the Vice Sect Master, he didn’t even take on the role of Peak Master of the Flying Immortal Peak.
This time, when the master personally invited him to the ruins, he did not go.
How could he be problematic?”
“I am not suspecting him, nor am I saying he has issues.
What I mean is that he is the only one who deserves our attention,”
Li Ke explained, “After all, aside from us, the person with the highest cultivation base in our Hundred Peaks Sect is Liè Yàn.
Even if others are traitors, even if they suddenly become hostile, they will not bring about serious consequences.
But Liè Yàn is different.”
Yan Yourong immediately understood and said, “Disciple understands.
Then, Disciple will pay close attention to Liè Yàn.”
Having said that, Yan Yourong turned to Yi Sheng and said, “Junior sister, the pill that master asked you to refine, give it to your senior sister.”
Yi Sheng heard the words and took out a bottle of pills; within the pill bottle, there was only one pill.
At the side, Xiang Zi Yu saw this pill bottle and immediately realized and exclaimed, “This is the pill master talked about, the one that can help us break through to the Wind Fire Tribulation!”
The Wind Fire Tribulation, during the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, if one releases their combat power, it is very likely to draw the Heavenly Tribulation.
And then, it would be time for the tribulation.
But Yan Yourong, Xiang Zi Yu, and Bei Yan were all Ancient Immortal Bodies.
Yan Yourong nodded gently and said, “We are the Ancient Immortal Bodies, and even if we face the Wind Fire Tribulation, whether in this period or another, we may not be able to break through.
We may not face the advent of the Wind Fire Tribulation.
Now, our Hundred Peaks Sect is about to face the attack of the fourth prince.
The fourth prince’s goal is clear, he wants to destroy our Hundred Peaks Sect before the master arrives, depriving the master of his foundation, and then going after the master.
This assault of his will certainly be more ferocious than the last one by the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and the Great Lai Dynasty.
Therefore, we must enhance ourselves by all means possible.
If I breakthrough to the Wind Fire Tribulation, my combat power will certainly leap again.”
“However, sister, there are two other scenarios as well.
One is that we breakthrough to the Wind Fire Tribulation, and after the Heavenly Tribulation descends, we truly breakthrough and then fall into slumber.
By then, we will lose a combatant.
Or, we might die in the Wind Fire Tribulation during the tribulation.
The Wind Fire Tribulation requires preparation, various tribulation pills, various treasures.
But we have made no preparations in advance, so the Wind Fire Tribulation is very dangerous for us.
Therefore, let your junior brother take that pill.”
Xiang Ziyu reached out for the pill right away and said confidently, “Anyway, whether one succeeds without falling into slumber or does fall into slumber, the one undergoing the tribulation must experience the Wind Fire Tribulation.
And I, your junior brother, am the born protagonist.
I won’t die in the Wind Fire Tribulation.
So, let your junior brother take the pill.”
However, Yan Yourong held the pill and pulled it back, staring coldly at Xiang Ziyu and said, “What’s this?
You look down on me?
I am your senior sister, naturally, it is my turn to take this pill, not yours.”
Xiang Ziyu, however, did not directly snatch the pill from Yan Yourong’s hand, but continued to speak, “Senior sister, think of it as me wanting redemption.
After all, had it not been for my departure from the Hundred Peaks Sect, causing the master and the elder sister and the others to search for me, we would not have been attacked by the Sun Moon Demon Sect and the three Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty.
The elders of our Hundred Peaks Sect would not have died.
This time, consider it as your junior brother redeeming himself, and let me take it.”
Yan Yourong looked at her junior brother, who was completely different from usual, speaking with sincere earnestness, and hesitated for a moment.
Meanwhile, Little Bei, who had been quiet until now, suddenly spoke, “Senior sister, just give the pill to your junior brother.”
“You?”
For a moment, both Yan Yourong and Xiang Ziyu looked at Little Bei in surprise.
Feeling the gaze of his senior brother and sister, Little Bei looked at them sincerely and said, “Actually, I know that among the four of our master’s original disciples, I am the least diligent in cultivation.
Even the little junior sister, no, she’s no longer the little junior sister now but Yi Sheng, she has been much more diligent than me.”
