Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Chapter 256 Your disciple is not going back!

Bingdeng Academy, in front of the library.

Ji Fangya, dressed in an indigo long robe, looked at Ling Yuanzi in front of him, his lips twitching incessantly.

Ling Yuanzi was bound like a dumpling by the Immortal Binding Rope. His previous ethereal and otherworldly demeanor in his blue Taoist robe was long gone, leaving only resentment towards the young woman in front of him.

It was as if it were a physical entity, reaching out from the old man's eyes to strangle Xue Lan.

Although there was a chill behind her, Xue Lan wore a gentle and polite smile, appearing to be in a very pleasant mood.

She was a completely different person from when we first met.

"Thank you for taking in my master for so many years. However, the sect leaders have ordered me to take my master back. I cannot stay any longer."

Ji Fangya glanced at Xue Lan, then at Ling Yuanzi, whose resentment was practically radiating to his head, and finally couldn't help but send him a telepathic message:

"Although your health has deteriorated over the years, you're only at the late Golden Core stage, you..."

You're way too weak!

Ling Yuanzi looked at Ji Fangya, his eyes filled with anger.

"What do you know? This child..."

This child has not only fallen into demonic possession, but has also somehow obtained that extremely strange magical seal. And there's also the Immortal-Binding Rope that her senior brother, the sect leader, gave her.

Even when fighting demons, they didn't make such thorough preparations, did they?

Ling Yuanzi wanted to say something to Ji Fangya, but before he could finish the thought, he noticed a cold gaze.

A girl dressed in a light blue ruqun stood behind him, her smile as sinister as Xue Lan's.

"It's best if real people don't speak!" Xue Tong said sweetly.

Ling Yuanzi dared not speak.

Ji Fangya sympathized with Ling Yuanzi, but that was all he felt was sympathy.

He had already figured it out: Ling Yuanzi's eldest disciple dared to treat him, his master, in such a way, most likely because those old guys in the Xuanhuang Sect had given him some instructions.

He couldn't afford to offend any of those people.

The old man smiled kindly and said, "This is a matter within the Xuanhuang Sect. My Bingdeng Academy will no longer get involved."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuanzi's eyes widened, as if he had been betrayed.

Ji Fangya avoided eye contact with him, whether out of guilt or some other reason, it was unclear.

Xue Lan has now transformed back into the shrewd and sophisticated eldest disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect's Jiyuan Peak. The woman smiled slightly at Ji Fangya, then pointed to the back mountain of Bingdeng Academy.

"As for the Apocalypse Pillar on the back mountain..."

Ji Fangya immediately said, "It doesn't matter. Bingdeng Academy has been guarding it for over eight hundred years, so it won't make a difference if it stays for another one or two hundred years. Young friend, go ahead with peace of mind."

LOL, you personally came to arrest people on Dao Xuanzi's orders, what kind of crazy thing would I be to bring up this?

Xue Lan nodded slightly, her expression turning serious.

Ji Fangya watched as Xue Lan, who had been all smiles, lost her smile and bowed to him with utmost solemnity.

"Bingdeng Academy has gathered the literary talents of the Yuan and Ming dynasties. The teachers imparted their knowledge of poetry and books even in the wind and snow. I admire them greatly."

"This time, I came to Bingdeng Academy to bring back my master. It was a selfish act of Xuanhuang Sect. Xue Lan will definitely return here in the future to settle the karma of Tianqi Pillar."

"May I be struck down by heaven and earth if I break this oath!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, a faint golden light appeared on her body.

The oath made by Heaven has taken effect.

Ji Fangya looked at the junior in front of him, his lips moved a few times, and finally he just sighed helplessly: "You child, why do you have to do this? This Heavenly Revelation Pillar is not a matter of cause and effect between Xuanhuang Sect and Xie Linghuan."

Xue Lan did not say much about this.

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Master Ji, Xue Lan knows that as a junior, it is somewhat presumptuous of me to say such a thing. But I still have to say it."

Ji Fangya nodded: "Please speak freely, young friend."

Xue Lan spoke, her voice like flowing water: "Master Ji, right now, the Yuanming realm is in the throes of humankind, and they are fighting fiercely against the demons in the desolate region. The demon race is also giving their all to help them hold their ground in the Sky Fish Tide Domain."

“Bingdeng Academy gathers scholars and students from the lower realms, and should also… step out of the library and head towards the green mountains.”

Xue Lan's words weren't exactly subtle, and Ji Fangya nodded slowly. He suddenly remembered the woman in green who had studied at Bingdeng Academy several years ago.

"You sensed the presence of an old friend, didn't you?" he couldn't help but ask.

Xue Lan nodded, then turned around and led Ling Yuanzi toward the mountain gate.

As Ji Fangya watched Xue Lan and the others walk away, a disciple's questioning voice came from beside him: "Dean, could this Miss Xue's old friend be... Miss Liu Shu?"

Ji Fangya did not respond, but turned and walked towards the library, muttering to himself:

"Stepping out of the study towards the green mountains..."

After leaving Bingdeng Academy, Xue Lan didn't want to waste any time and took Ling Yuanzi with her as they set off on Feiyun.

The old man Ling Yuanzi is still sulking with Xue Lan. Even though Xue Lan lifted his silencing spell, he still refuses to give her a kind look.

Xue Lan wasn't angry. She simply sat down next to Ling Yuanzi and patiently prepared to tell him about the changes in Yuanming's lower realm and sect over the years.

She didn't believe that Ling Yuanzi could maintain that expression forever.

"Master!"

Hearing Xue Lan's call, Ling Yuanzi slightly opened one eye: "I don't want to talk to you."

Xue Lan: ……

If you don't want to say it, then I will.

Ignoring the awkward atmosphere around her, the woman continued, "My master has been in seclusion and is unaware that I sent Lian Chuan back to the Upper Realm nine years ago."

Ling Yuanzi jumped up immediately.

"What did you say? Where did you send him?" The old man's expression was distorted, and he looked like a demon.

Xue Lan's voice was indifferent: "The Upper Realm, the Northern Region River. Master, don't tell me you don't know what it is?"

Xue Tong looked at Xue Lan, who was as calm as the wind, and then at Ling Yuanzi, who was about to explode.

As expected of Xue Lan, she broke down the guard of that aloof old man with just one sentence.

"I know, but he's a stupid dog who grew up in the lower realm, while the Northern Region of the Upper Realm..."

Ling Yuanzi couldn't continue speaking, her eyes filled with worried tears.

Xue Tong was amused by the comment about a silly dog ​​raised in the lower realm, and laughed non-stop.

Xue Lan's face was full of resentment, as if she herself had been scolded.

"So why did you bring me back a stupid dog back then? Just for fun?" Xue Lan asked sincerely.

Ling Yuanzi sighed: "It was just something someone else asked me to do."

"You offended Jiyue Mountain and brought Xiao Wu back, was it just for fun?" Ling Yuanzi retorted.

Xue Lan chuckled: "To be honest, Master, I've wanted to do that for a long time. Jiyuan Peak is desperately short of reliable disciples. And it's highly unlikely that we can raise any reliable disciples."

Ling Yuanzi rolled her eyes at her: "So you just picked up a ready-made one."

Xue Lan nodded.

"You can't blame me for what happened to Lian Chuan. When people from the Upper Realm came looking for me, I couldn't be the bad guy who blocked their path of cultivation, could I?"

Ling Yuanzi thought about it and agreed. The demon race in the upper realm has always been quite protective of its own, so Xue Lan had no choice in this situation.

Birds flew by constantly, and clouds and mist swirled around them. The flying cloud that Xue Lan and the others were riding on was like a shuttle flying swiftly forward.

In just three days, they arrived above Ruoshui City, near Xuanhuang Cave Heaven.

Ling Yuanzi saw Xue Lan and Xue Tong exchange a glance, and his eldest disciple picked up the young man beside him and stood up: "Master, your disciple will see you off here."

"Where are you going?" Ling Yuanzi suddenly became alert, his gaze towards Xue Lan seeming to burn a hole through the man.

Xue Lan chuckled: "Luoxia Mountain!"

"Aren't you going back?" Ling Yuanzi questioned.

Xue Lan thought to herself, "Why would I go back? Haven't I been scolded enough yet?"

"Your disciple will not be going back!"

After saying this, Xue Lan grabbed Lu Feng and jumped down from the cloud.

The wind whistled past his ears, and behind him, Ling Yuanzi roared in exasperation:

"Rebel!"

Ling Yuanzi was on the verge of fainting from anger while he was on the cloud, but his traitorous disciple was hard-hearted and refused to turn around.

At this moment, Xue Tong, who was standing behind him, slowly stepped forward:

"Master, Dao Xuanzi and Kong Mingzi are still waiting for you. Don't be late."

Ling Yuanzi: My life is over!
