Chapter 112: Taihang Sect
“So, you’re finally admitting that those adventurers have a grudge against you and the person they want to kill is you, yet you used us to deal with them, how despicable are you?!”
Bi Ling was furious. It was as she had guessed. This kid used her and her friends to fight with the adventurers while he sat by the side and reaped the rewards. If not for this kid, she and the rest of her group would not have been separated.
“This….”
Su Yi laughed awkwardly. But then his expression changed, and he looked at Bi Ling seriously before saying, “Actually, how could you blame me? I didn’t tell you to fight them. It was your friends who were so arrogant and offended me first. Later on, they even tried to kill me. So, everything that happened has nothing to do with me.”
“That’s just a fallacious argument!”
Bi Ling stared furiously at Su Yi, but she couldn’t find any words to retort with. It was true; it was because of her friends’ arrogance that they were used by him. But this was all part of the plot set up by that kid.
Su Yi learned from Bi Ling that after he had taken the interspatial bags from Zhouda and the others, they soon encountered the adventurers and fought their way out in a bloody escape.
Then, not long after, they met some strong cultivators from the adventurer party, and she was separated from the rest. Coincidentally, she then met Su Yi.
“Why did you guys come to the Forest of Demons anyway? There should be strong cultivators from your sect, right? So why did you guys need to fear those adventurers?” Su Yi asked Bi Ling.
“Our purpose for coming to the Forest of Demons this time was due to news of a Blood Spiritual Ginseng, so the High Elders from our sect brought us here to try our luck as well as train…”
Suddenly, Bi Ling reacted. The guy in front of her was trying to trick her into giving information. The High Elder has specifically reminded them not to say anything about this matter to anyone.
“Blood Spiritual Ginseng…”
Hearing Bi Ling’s words, Su Yi dug up all the information he had about this plant from his mind. That spiritual herb was the main ingredient for many yellow-grade elixirs.
It is said that directly consuming Blood Spiritual Ginseng can also raise one’s cultivation level and even have the effect of bringing one back from the verge of death.
Su Yi was truly astonished by the information he had just received. If the news was true, and he was able to obtain that Blood Spiritual Ginseng, he could help his grandfather recover completely and even raise his cultivation level slightly.
“Are you alright?”
Seeing Su Yi in a daze, Bi Ling asked, confused. Everything about the youth in front of her seemed strange.
“No, it’s nothing. I was wondering whether those adventurers will come looking for us.” Su Yi snapped out of his thoughts and acted as if there was nothing wrong.
“Wait for me to recover and meet up with the other people from the sect, then there would be no need to worry about those adventurers.”
Bi Ling looked at Su Yi and asked, “Which sect do you come from? Why did you also come to the Forest of Demons? Are you here to train yourself?”
“I belong to no organization. I am but a rogue cultivator,” Su Yi replied. These words were the truth.
Bi Ling continued staring at Su Yi, her expression clearly skeptical. She had witnessed his martial prowess and techniques—how could a youth like this not belong to any organization? It was so obvious he didn’t want to tell her the truth.
“Oh yes, umm….”
Bi Ling looked at Su Yi, trying to say something but hesitated.
“What is it?” Su Yi smiled widely and was very enthusiastic.
“Can you return the interspatial bag you took from me? My clothes are still inside.” Bi Ling said, biting down on her lips slightly. Her current clothes were stained with blood and she had no means to wash up, but at the very least she had to change her clothes. She could not stand herself being in these clothes.
And noticing the clothes that Su Yi was currently wearing, Bi Ling recognized those belonged to Zhouda and were from within his interspatial bag.
Each interspatial bag was protected by the owner’s own techniques and this guy could actually open Zhouda’s interspatial bag. Most likely, he would be able to open her interspatial bag as well.
Within her interspatial bag, aside from some elixirs, there were clothes and other items typically used by women. This guy had probably already searched through her bag.
Thinking about this, a blush crept onto Bi Ling’s face.
“The interspatial bag? No problem! Everything back then was just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding,” Su Yi smiled awkwardly. He took out an interspatial bag and handed it to Bi Ling. It was the bag he had taken from her back then. Receiving the bag, Bi Ling noticed Su Yi’s wide smile and felt that something wasn’t quite right. She opened the bag and, as expected, found that it had been opened. Only the elixirs were missing, while most of the other items remained untouched.
“Hehe, excuse me. I’ve already eaten all those elixirs. If there’s an opportunity next time, I’ll definitely return them to you,” Su Yi admitted.
At the moment, all the elixirs were stored in his mysterious space. Of course, he had no way of taking them out to return them.
“Are you an alchemist or a tool refiner?” Bi Ling asked, eyeing Su Yi. Since this guy could open her interspatial bag, was he an alchemist or perhaps a tool refiner?
“No, I’m neither. I opened this bag using a method I came up with,” Su Yi replied, shaking his head. He knew Bi Ling was referring to his mysterious space and his identity as a Soul Tamer, but he wouldn’t reveal that to her. He glanced back at Bi Ling and asked, “I still don’t know which sect you’re from.”
“Taihang Sect!”
Bi Ling hesitated for a moment and then said two words.
Su Yi was surprised. The weight of those two words was quite heavy.
Just as he had thought, Bi Ling had come from a large organization and not just any normal organization.
One Mountain, Two Religious Sects, Three Sects, and Four Schools. Sacred Mountain was one of these ten major powers.
The remaining two religious sects were the Gemini Religious Sect and the Endless Religious Sect.
The three sects are referred to as the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the Taihang Sect, and the Immortal Sword Sect.
The four schools were Godly Tiger School, Infinity School, School of the Grand Pure One, and the Demon Subjugating School.
Taihang Sect was one of the top ten major powers on the continent and its name was on the same stage as the Sacred Mountain.
“So, you are from the Taihang Sect, pardon me for my disrespect.” Su Yi’s face did not express anything he was thinking. There was only a smile. From his encounter and bad impression of Sacred Mountain, he had no interest in any of these major sects. Though he could not judge all of them just by seeing only one person, at least, he no longer admired them.
“You said that you were a rogue cultivator, with your talent, I feel that you have the qualifications to enter my sect. I can help you put in some good words, and there shouldn’t be any problem with you entering the sect. How’s that?” Bi Ling looked at Su Yi closely. She wanted to know where this guy came from. When he heard about Taihang Sect, he did not seem to have any reaction. How could this response possibly come from a rogue cultivator?
Bi Ling was clear about this guy’s talent. Being able to easily kill a Yuan Xuan Realm First Grade cultivator at Yuan Soul Realm Seventh Grade was already proof of his talent. If he really wanted to join the Taihang Sect, the High Elders in the sect would be delighted to take him in.
“Never mind, I am already used to being free.” Su Yi shook his head.
Thoughts went through Bi Ling’s head. So many people wanted to get into Taihang Sect but they could not.
That was Taihang Sect, one of the paradises and sacred land of all martial artists and cultivators.
Yet, this youth in front of her was not at all tempted by the invitation.
Unless the organization he had come from was just as good as the Taihang Sect.
The more she thought in this direction, the more Bi Ling felt it was possible. Or else, who else could be so indifferent to the Taihang Sect?
“Okay, please leave for a while. I need to change my clothes. Do not come in or I will not be polite.” Bi Ling told Su Yi.
