Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 95 Travels (9)

They were all low-level demons, but dealing with them did take quite a bit of effort.

Nie Xushuang was busy treating the wounded and didn't have time to pay attention to Luo Zaishui.

Luo Zai Shui silently withdrew from the crowd and wandered aimlessly along the street alone.

"Junior sister—"

Shi Ming somehow caught up with them. He hadn't had time to change his clothes, and his face was dirty and smelled of blood.

Luo Zai Shui forced a smile and asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong?"

Without saying a word, Shi Ming took her hand and led her to a deserted place.

"I'm sorry, junior sister, I didn't mean to keep this from you. Apart from the eldest disciple, none of the other disciples know about this."

Luo Zai Shui was somewhat indignant: "But I am the second disciple of Xianyun Peak! I have the same right to know these things as they do!"

"I know... Junior Sister..." Shi Ming hurriedly tried to explain, but he really couldn't explain the matter.

The two fell silent for a moment.

Luo Zai Shui was the first to break the silence: "What are Master and the others thinking?"

Shi Ming knew this couldn't be kept secret for long, so he sighed softly, "Go on, you all continue to guard Xianyun Peak until my master returns before making a decision. A sect cannot be without a sect leader."

"No!" Luo Zai Shui had never been angry with Shi Ming before; this was the first time. "Do you know what going there means? They'll torture you beyond recognition! Going there is just suicide!"

Shi Ming looked at her quietly: "I know, but even if something happens to me, Xianyun Peak still has you."

Only the elders of Xianyun Peak knew that the title of chief disciple of Xianyun Peak was nominal; anyone could be the chief disciple, but the sect leader could only be the most capable person.

If Shi Ming were to get into trouble, Luo Zai Shui would still be able to take care of things at Xianyun Peak.

"No, no..."

Luo Zai Shui felt like she was going crazy. She grabbed Shi Ming's hand and said, "Senior Brother, let's go and rescue Master and the others."

Even Luo Zai Shui knew that their rescue mission was a declaration of war against the Wen family, and this declaration officially signaled the breakdown of the relationship between the Wen family and Xianyun Peak. Would Xianyun Peak be isolated and helpless, or would others join them in rebellion?

All of this is an unknown, and no one dares to gamble on this unknown.

“Junior sister…” Shi Ming felt a strange emotion, perhaps it was heartache. “We are currently facing internal and external troubles, so we cannot take action against the Wen family yet.”

"But it's the Wen family colluding with the demons!"

Luo Zai Shui felt like she was going crazy. She suddenly felt like a mayfly, unable to shake the giant tree of the Wen family in the slightest.

Shi Ming paused for a moment: "But does anyone believe it?"

Luo Zai Shui was stunned. Shi Ming continued, "Without evidence, the Wen family can easily shift the blame to Linghai Sect, to Uncle Xie, and to the nearby sects and families. Then, if the world doesn't believe them, what will they do?"

A surge of grievances and indignation turned into tears that gushed forth.

Seeing Luo Zai Shui shed tears, Shi Ming immediately panicked and tried to wipe away the tears on her face, but his hands were dirty. He could only take out an embroidered handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wipe away her tears.

"Senior brother, do you believe me?"

"I believe."

Luo wiped the tears from her face, and Shi Ming consciously took a half step back, widening the distance between them.

The two sat under a withered tree. Luo Zai Shui, having composed herself, held a dry twig, lost in thought, while Shi Ming simply watched her quietly.

Since learning what had happened within the sect, an unprecedented sense of exhaustion enveloped Luo Zai Shui, making her feel almost suffocated.

Back then, Wu Si came here in the same way. How did she manage to walk such a difficult path?

Luo Zai Shui suddenly stood up, startling Shi Ming, who then also stood up.

"I'm going to talk to Wusi about something. Senior brother, you should go back first."

After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.

Shi Ming sighed helplessly, dusted himself off, and returned to his residence.

Luo Zai Shui found Su Wu Si first, and then dragged Li Yue over as well.

Seeing his beloved female supporting character standing next to his female lead, Li Yue felt inexplicably guilty.

"Why...why did you call me here?"

Li Yue clutched the hem of her clothes, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Luo Zai Shui cut to the chase: "How did she manage to organize all the major sects of the cultivation world to rebel against the Wen family?"

Su Wusi looked at Li Yue with some fear, wondering how she could tell outsiders about this.

Li Yue scratched his head: "Well... um... where there is oppression, there is resistance... when I was writing, they were already people who could command a lot of support, so when they took the lead in resisting, the people behind them naturally followed suit."

Su Wusi couldn't quite understand what this person was saying. She sneered, "What do you mean by 'one call and a hundred responses'? It's just that those old foxes saw there was something to gain. Only after Ye Xiao and I tore apart so many of the Wen family's henchmen did these people dare to stand up. It's utterly ridiculous."

Luo Zai Shui turned her gaze to her: "Tell me, how do you plan to tear the Wen family apart?"

Su Wusi looked at Li Yue suspiciously, but did not answer: "How did she know?"

Luo Zai Shui did not explain: "Just say it, she is not a threat."

Since her senior sister had spoken, Su Wusi naturally had to say: "But wherever I go, I encounter a lot of trouble. No matter how I investigate, the clues are all cut off. Later I found out that the Wen family was involved."

"Then how did you know?"

Luo continued to press for answers.

Su Wusi blinked, controlling her tears: "It was Fourth Senior Brother. He fell into demonic possession and learned from the demons that the Wen family and the demons had been colluding for a long time."

"And then? How did you gradually destroy the Wen family?"

Su Wusi paused for a moment, then sneered: "Back then, the Wen family kept suppressing the sects and aristocratic families, and the major sects and aristocratic families were almost falling apart. But the Wen family let the wolf into the house, so they can't blame me for using someone else to kill them."

Li Yue lowered her head guiltily, wishing she could bury herself in the ground.

"Demons?"

Su Wusi seemed to have torn off a mask, revealing another soul riddled with holes: "Of course not only, there are demons, ghosts, evil cultivators, monsters... Senior sister, I should really be glad you left this world early. Do you know what a terrible world that was?"

Luo Zai Shui frowned: "You never told me these things."

Su Wusi smiled and shook her head: "Senior sister, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't know when the Wen family got involved with these things, or when they would suddenly appear. By the time we find out, these things will already be dancing in front of us."

"Ye Xiao and I really had no choice. We had to be wary of the Wen family on one hand, and deal with these things on the other. Oh, right..." Su Wusi suddenly looked at Li Yue with a strange smile on his face. "You say you can command a hundred followers? That's ridiculous. Back then, only Ye Xiao was left who was on the same path as me."
