Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 768 - 5: Teaching You an Incantation

Chapter 768 -5: Teaching You an Incantation

Emei Golden Summit, Tianji Square.

An Zhisu, wearing light clothes, carried the weight of her shackles, bound to the Dragon-Imprisoning Pillar, silent and non-verbal.

“Jiao Xiao, do you realize your mistake?” Long Eyebrow Immortal asked coldly.

“Jiao Xiao does not.” An Zhisu answered indifferently.

“In the past, you and I, your mentor, had an agreement, if Qing Heng True Person abandoned you, you would sever these sentimental ties,” Long Eyebrow Immortal said angrily, “Now because he has doubts about you, he is questioned and is in a state of fearful unrest but has not come to me to plea for you. Instead, he chose to flee Shushan in panic.”

“When he encountered fellow sect disciples and was questioned, he even suspiciously attacked and killed them. It’s clear that in Qing Heng True Person’s heart, neither the sect nor you, his senior sister, are as important as his own life!”

“Why do you still hold on to such an unfaithful man?”

At this point, Long Eyebrow Immortal was so angry he nearly pulled out his beard.

That Qing Heng… had indeed disappointed him.

Abandoning his senior sister, betraying Shushan, and killing fellow sect members, any one of these acts was an unforgivable capital offense.

But what made him even more furious was that An Zhisu refused to accept reality, insisting there must be something unusual and demanding that Long Eyebrow Immortal must bring Qing Heng for questioning.

He has already fled Shushan, where should I look for him to come and be questioned? You still hope that he will come to save you, how foolish!

“You are a Second Grade Golden Core! Without these sentimental entanglements, your future path would undoubtedly be boundless,” Long Eyebrow Immortal continued to persuade, “Although your father had a talent for swordsmanship, he was not well-known. Once he became my disciple, in an instant, he soared like a dragon in the sky, and every sect’s miraculous pills and elixirs, swordsmanship manuals, were at his disposal for the taking!”

“As long as you sever ties with that traitor and once again call me great-teacher, you will be the direct disciple of an immortal, isn’t that much better than holding on to an unfaithful and heartless thief?”

An Zhisu’s lips moved slightly, and she closed her eyes:

“Thank you for your generous affection, Immortal, but…”

“If I could easily let go of this emotional bond, then I… would no longer be myself.”

“Silly girl!” Long Eyebrow Immortal was already quick-tempered, hearing her stubborn words, he was nearly driven mad with rage and wished he could immediately find Qing Heng and chop him into mincemeat.

A grand Second Grade Golden Core Sword Immortal, with limitless prospects ahead, due to a woman’s sentimental attachment to an unworthy man is now refusing to accept the reality of him betraying the sect – this Sentiment Inquiry Path… truly brings disaster!

Elsewhere, at Shushan Qingluo Peak, in a hidden chamber within the mountain.

Using an Illusion Technique to sneak in, Ling Yunpo came before the stone wall where Su Jian was in seclusion, knelt heavily on the meditation cushion, and bowed deeply:

“Master! Senior Sister has been captured, and your disciple has been framed and entrapped; now the Qingluo Peak’s lineage is in immediate danger. I earnestly implore Master to leave seclusion!”

All around, it was silent.

Ling Yunpo knelt and bowed again, pretending to be in tears:

“Senior Sister did not kill fellow sect members with intent, yet she is irregularly imprisoned by the Criminal Law Hall, indeed, using her practice of the Sentiment Inquiry Path as a reason, they want to forcibly make her change sects!”

“Your disciple has been wrongfully accused by a traitor from the Hell Path and had to bear the name of a deserter. With the traitor being of high rank and power, your disciple has nowhere to turn. If Master cannot leave seclusion to save us, your disciple and Senior Sister will go to Netherworld together, dead without a place to bury.”

There was still no response from the surroundings.

How could one, through thick stone walls, awaken someone in the depths of seclusion?

Ling Yunpo did not know what to do, only placing his last hope on Su Jian.

Since Su Jian still had not awakened, that last glimmer of hope was also extinguished, leaving only one path ahead.

Ling Yunpo sat in front of the stone wall for a long while, stood up in silence.

“I’m going to rescue Senior Sister,” he left a message, “Master, take good care of yourself inside…”

After speaking, he took long strides and left.

Upon leaving the hidden chamber of Qingluo Peak, Ling Yunpo controlled his sword to rise, flying towards the direction of the Emei Golden Summit.

He channeled all his True Yuan into it, flying faster and faster, eventually achieving Man-Sword Unity, shooting towards Tianji Square like a meteor.

Arriving above Emei, he saw An Zhisu bound to the Dragon-Imprisoning Pillar, with Long Eyebrow Immortal beside her, coldly scolding as though he was humbling her.

Numerous Peak Masters and elders stood along the outer ring of Tianji Square, each with a solemn expression, silent, merely exchanging glances.

Everyone felt that, given An Zhisu’s rank as a Second Grade Golden Core, Long Eyebrow Immortal would certainly be reluctant to kill her. But now, as she stubbornly refused to open up under the public eye, completely disregarding the Immortal’s reputation, if she were to truly provoke Long Eyebrow Immortal beyond patience, she would surely have no good outcome.

Ling Yunpo, not knowing all these details, became furious on seeing his Senior Sister publicly shackled.

What wrong had she done to be treated with such humiliation? This Shushan… he could not stay for another moment!

Just as he was about to swoop down to rescue his Senior Sister, he suddenly felt his whole body stiffen, and his Dantian’s True Yuan came completely out of control.

Ming Hua Elder appeared behind him, smiling as he said to Long Eyebrow Immortal:

“Immortal, this traitor has been captured without a fight!”

As he spoke, he tapped several of Ling Yunpo’s vital points, sealing off his meridians with a Secret Technique.

Ling Yunpo did not struggle (after all, he couldn’t win in a fight, especially with so many Nascent Soul Elders present), but just glared angrily at Long Eyebrow Immortal.

“Perfect timing!” Long Eyebrow Immortal reached out his hand and grabbed Ling Yunpo, demanding, “Scoundrel! How did you murder your fellow disciples and betray the Sect? Confess everything here and now!”

“I have not killed my fellow disciples, nor have I betrayed the Sect!” Ling Yunpo shouted back with furious eyes.

“Then how did Sima Changyan die?” Long Eyebrow Immortal sneered.

“It was Elder Ming Hua who killed him!” Ling Yunpo shouted again.

“Absurd,” Elder Ming Hua said disdainfully, “I wasn’t even at the scene, and I have witnesses. Moreover, Elder Leng Quan personally witnessed you committing the act. The evidence is ironclad. Do you still want to quibble?”

“Elder Leng Quan is in cahoots with you!” Ling Yunpo shouted defiantly, his expression resolute and unyielding, “You are all spies from the Hell Path!”

Accusing two Shushan elders of being spies was an extremely serious allegation, serious enough that even the Jade Capital Sect Leader at the side couldn’t hold back and said,

“Qing Heng, if you have evidence, bring it out now. The Immortal will surely give you justice.”

Evidence, what evidence do I have? Ling Yunpo smiled wryly and said,

“Since I accuse Elder Leng Quan of being a spy, how can his witness testimony be counted? If the Immortal is truly fair and just, he should imprison both elders and myself for a thorough investigation, not capture me here while allowing those two to roam free outside!”

Long Eyebrow Immortal was immediately furious and shouted,

“How can a mere Golden Core True Person make accusations and expect two Nascent Soul Elders to be imprisoned for investigation?”

Ling Yunpo did not answer, but instead turned to look at An Zhisu.

He saw An Zhisu struggling fiercely, repeatedly signaling him with her eyes to “run.”

Ling Yunpo suddenly understood everything.

The one Shushan truly wanted to kill was not Senior Sister An bound to the Dragon-Imprisoning Pillar, but himself.

Killing a Third Grade Golden Core True Person to replace him with a Second Grade Golden Core True Person without emotional weaknesses might seem like a worthwhile trade to Long Eyebrow Immortal, seeing the Sentiment Inquiry Path as a ferocious flood and beast.

“What do you think, Sword Master?” the Green Duckweed Sword asked in his Sea of Consciousness, its tone somewhat schadenfreude, “Regretting it now? I told you not to foolishly rush back here!”

Ling Yunpo was silent for a moment, then replied,

“Why should I regret? Now that I know Senior Sister An will be safe, I can rest assured and let Ah Jing teleport away.”

“You’re content to just leave Shushan like this?” the Kunlun Mirror also spoke up.

“What can I do if I’m not content?” Ling Yunpo asked coldly in return, “Am I supposed to slaughter this damned Shushan?”

“What if I teach you an incantation?” the Green Duckweed Sword said nonchalantly, “Just recite that incantation, and you can slaughter everyone in Shushan. Would you recite it?”

Seeing Senior Sister An’s miserable state on the Dragon-Imprisoning Pillar, Ling Yunpo was already filled with bitter sorrow and tears of blood, almost gritting his teeth in hatred as he said,

“Recite it! I’ll recite it a thousand times daily until Emei collapses!”

“Think it through,” the Green Duckweed Sword suddenly sighed, saying, “Once you recite the incantation, there’s no turning back.”

“Just hurry up and teach it to me!”

“Listen carefully…” The Green Duckweed Sword cleared its ‘throat’ and said, “Silence envelopes the eight desolations, brightly shining in splendor.”

Feeling the cold murderous intent of Long Eyebrow Immortal so close at hand, Ling Yunpo recited in his heart,

“Silence envelopes the eight desolations, brightly shining in splendor.”

Green Duckweed Sword continued to recite,

“When Qi meets fate, grievous worries abound.”

Seeing Senior Sister An strenuously struggling on the Dragon-Imprisoning Pillar, her beautiful face filled with panic, her fair wrists already chafed and bloody from the iron chains, Ling Yunpo gnashed his teeth in loathing and recited with hate,

“When Qi meets fate, grievous worries abound.”

Green Duckweed Sword hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said,

“Three paths of trial correspond, sinking into endless calamities.”

The Jade Capital Sect Leader seemed to be unable to bear watching any longer, and he left in a huff with a sweep of his sleeve. Only the surrounding Peak Masters and Elders remained, casting cold gazes down upon the Plaza of Heaven’s Extent, looking at Ling Yunpo as if they were looking at a dead man.

Recalling all of Shushan’s past tragic treatments, Ling Yunpo no longer had any hesitation and said coldly,

“Three paths of trial correspond, sinking into endless calamities.”

“Now the last sentence, don’t get it wrong,” the Green Duckweed Sword said teasingly.

Dragging out its voice deliberately, the Green Duckweed Sword said slowly,

“…In the Moon Mansion, Su Yao shines, as Tai Yin Suming quietly chants.”
