Spectating the Angsty Romance of the Master and Disciple from the Sect Next Door Chapter 79

In the footage, Tan Yanyi and Ling Qiu became more excited as they talked, pulling out all the talismans and medicinal pills they had brought from outside to use for retaliation, bolstering their crude plan. The scale of their scheme grew larger and larger, but they didn’t feel anything was amiss.
A fleeting uneasiness flashed in Qi Lingzi’s heart, but upon seeing the excited faces of her two junior sisters, that thought vanished, perfectly exemplifying pure favoritism.
An elder off-screen asked quietly, “Didn’t they consider anyone else besides the Immortal Venerable’s two disciples?”
At this, Li Jin’an also fell completely silent. She knew her own disciples were little fools, but she truly hadn’t thought they could be so audacious and reckless.
In order to retaliate against just two people, they forcibly dragged everyone down with them!
They simply made no distinction between friend and foe! Regardless of whether it was the Dao Sect or the Sword Sect, or any of the so-called Nine Great Immortal Sects, they swept them all up!
The thirty most outstanding disciples of these two sects in this generation were not assassinated by demons, did not perish by the mouths of demonic beasts, nor did they die from feuds and emotional strife. Instead, they were almost turned into genuine fools by their fellow disciples’ petty tricks…
Frankly, even the Demon Lord wouldn’t dare to dream such a beautiful dream. Once successful, the Dao Sect and Sword Sect would directly experience a severe talent gap in this generation.
If the Sword Sect Master were here now, he would surely comment, “Digging one’s own grave, wiping out one’s entire lineage, truly worthy of Jijin Peak’s direct lineage!”
Someone else added quietly, “A disciple inheriting their master’s legacy, that’s all.”
Back then, Li Jin’an, in order to defeat Xie Huaixue and resist others’ retaliation, often used nasty little tricks thought up on the spur of the moment. Dragging everyone else into trouble was nothing to her.
For several years, Chixin Sword Lord would wake up only to deal with the aftermath of messes caused by her young and reckless disciple. She really wanted to say, “If you cause trouble, just don’t expose your master!” But there was nothing she could do; the entire cultivation world knew Li Jin’an was her disciple.
Li Jin’an watched Elder Fang play the second memory stone, unusually calmly responding to others’ accusations.
The two elders who spoke just now indeed didn’t have disciples who went to this Solitary Mountain Secret Realm. It’s just that their grand-disciples were affected and still haven’t woken up.
The most important thing was that these two elders’ disciples had been messed with by Li Jin’an more than once, and now their grand-disciples had fallen into the same trap…
How could this not be considered a legacy?
What the second memory stone showed was very simple: it was all about the three from Jijin Peak diligently setting up formations, collecting hallucinogenic flowers on the spot to extract their fragrance. Occasionally, scenes of other disciples hunting demonic beasts and collecting spiritual plants flashed by, forming a stark contrast—everyone was working hard, but their efforts were vastly different.
The preparation work took twenty days, yet barely half a day had passed outside the secret realm.
Tan Yanyi and Ling Qiu discussed it and still felt that it would be safer to first render people unconscious and induce hallucinations, then use a lightning-summoning formation.
Obviously, their trip to Purple Leaf Town had given them enough inspiration, making them deeply realize the lethality of illusions on cultivators.
Fearing that the hallucinogenic flowers’ fragrance wouldn’t be effective enough, they split into three groups and began spreading the scent at various upwind locations throughout the Solitary Mountain Secret Realm. Not only that, they used all the hallucinogenic spiritual plants they could get their hands on. In the end, still feeling it wasn’t enough, they haphazardly scattered all sorts of spiritual plants and spiritual medicines…
It was already a complete mess, so they figured they might as well just go all in and drink it directly.
Li Jin’an blinked, indescribably raising an eyebrow, and sent a private spiritual message to Xie Huaixue.
“So, while Master and Martial Mistress were eating heartily outside, the disciples were diligently moving spiritual plants, each busy in their own way. Very good, very good.”
The pale fingertips in Li Jin’an’s palm suddenly curled up. She subtly squeezed the other’s fingertips, then with feigned composure, looked to the side. She found Xie Huaixue sitting upright and proper, her expression indifferent, her gaze floating lightly as it swept over Li Jin’an’s mischievous face without any particular meaning.
This one glance was worth a thousand words.
Li Jin’an quieted down. She glanced at her troublesome disciples in the air who had already run to the secret realm’s array core to set up the lightning-summoning formation, then closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
As luck would have it, the place chosen by the three from Jijin Peak was precisely the central array core of the Solitary Mountain Secret Realm.
A place others couldn’t find even after exhausting all their efforts, the three of them casually picked and found it effortlessly.
Time flew by. Li Jin’an could finally understand Chixin Sword Lord’s feelings when looking at her back then.
The bitter fruit one has sown, one must swallow with tears.
Since it had come to this point, she couldn’t just abandon it. Otherwise, wouldn’t all her past suffering have been for naught!
Li Jin’an stroked her chin with her free hand, watching her disciples actively doing bad things. She was wondering if these three little fools’ fortune had increased; otherwise, how could they pick the right spot on the first try?
Others might think this was a mere stroke of luck and laugh incredulously, then move on.
But Li Jin’an, who had shamelessly borrowed fortune from Lan Ci, obviously wouldn’t think so. She wildly speculated: Could it be that after Qi Lingzi defeated Lan Ci, a part of Lan Ci’s fortune was transferred to Qi Lingzi, and then these three little fools used it in such a way?
It was as if when those three scoundrels were blessed with fortune, opportunities didn’t even need to be bent down to pick up; they all fell right into their hands. Anyone would try to stuff resources into their hands. Even waiting for opportunities to fall into one’s lap wasn’t this easy.
But it was different for Qi Lingzi and her group; they used their fortune in this kind of place. No wonder the power was so great and the destructive force so strong, almost wiping out all the disciples of the two sects.
Although Qi Lingzi and her group didn’t know their fortune had become more potent, because of their strong desires, things would develop in the direction they expected. This was the magical aspect of fortune.
Li Jin’an felt that the Heavenly Dao was too rigid. Since that was the case, why couldn’t she engrave fortune-transferring formations without getting struck by divine lightning? Wasn’t it all about gaining fortune through one’s own efforts?
The Heavenly Dao truly didn’t know how to adapt!
While Li Jin’an was lost in thought, Elder Fang conscientiously pulled out the third, fourth, and fifth memory stones… comprehensively displaying the schemes of the three from Jijin Peak.
Finally, the fragrance of the hallucinogenic flowers filled the secret realm as the wind carried it, causing many to collapse. Some noticed something was wrong and sealed off their sense of smell, but they didn’t expect the fragrance to be all-pervasive, even able to drill into their Sea of Consciousness.
Those who fell victim were immersed in illusions, their faces flushed red, limbs flailing wildly in mid-air, muttering to themselves and gasping for breath, a thoroughly undignified sight.
The three from Jijin Peak, cunningly, had already prepared their defenses, wrapping themselves up tightly and hiding in a sealed cave, waiting for the lightning-summoning formation to activate.
Fortunately, Qi Lingzi was considered Jijin Peak’s last shred of conscience. She led her two junior sisters to quickly drive others away from where they were setting up formations. Even the disciples of Sword Lords Xiaoxiang and Junxing were mercilessly driven away.
They were betting that this place had many treasures, and Lan Ci and Ning Zhufeng would definitely come over.
“…”
The main hall was extremely quiet, a deathly silence.
Since the Dao Sect’s founding ancestor established the sect, the sect’s main hall had been built to be grand, magnificent, majestic, and solemn. Once opened, Peak Master-level elders would certainly appear to discuss important matters, accompanied by direct disciples. Sometimes the Sect Master and Young Sect Master would also attend. Thus, in the hearts of Dao Sect disciples, its status was no less than a sacred place, very lofty.
And now, the elders of both sects were gathered in the sect’s main hall watching… watching this kind of thing…
Although it wasn’t explicit art, this scene was obviously disgraceful to behold.
The dignified disciples of the Dao Sect and Sword Sect actually had such low vigilance, swept up by methods that were almost a joke, displaying such disgraceful behavior that if word got out, even demons wouldn’t believe it!
The two elders who had spoken earlier also fell silent, closing their eyes, utterly dispirited. Back then, their disciples had been tormented by Li Jin’an many times, but they had never made such a huge fool of themselves!
An elder muttered to himself, speaking everyone’s inner thoughts, “Grand Ancestor above, this is even worse than shouting and killing, or internal strife among fellow disciples.”
This isn’t how one loses face!
Jiang Fengmian’s face was full of horror. She abruptly glanced at Li Jin’an, then quickly averted her gaze before the other could look back. She made up her mind: if Li Jin’an insisted on foisting her disciples onto her, she would rather die than comply. She would rather give up Xuanyu Peak than be tormented like this, as she still cared very much about her reputation, both in life and after death.
Li Jin’an’s posture had become much more proper. She silently clicked her tongue, thinking, This is truly to remain silent for years, then astonish with a single action!
Xie Huaixue lowered her gaze, simply avoiding looking at the offensive footage in the air.
Seeing her like this, Li Jin’an felt a momentary guilt; after all, it was her own little fools who had caused this mess. She also felt that Xie Huaixue’s appearance was truly endearing and lovable. If they weren’t still outside, she would definitely kiss Xie Huaixue’s temples and hair.
Xie Huaixue noticed her fervent gaze and turned her head to look at her indifferently.
Li Jin’an primly cleared her throat a few times, breaking the silence in the hall.
At this moment, the memory stone’s footage had already played to the activation of the lightning-summoning formation at the array core. The formation, plastered with lightning storm talismans and fire ball talismans, had its power multiplied several times and struck directly at the array core. This alone would have been fine; after all, the secret realm’s eye wouldn’t be overly fragile.
The problem was…
Due to the air being filled with powders of various spiritual plants and medicines, mixed with unknown substances, the lightning and fire instantly expanded, striking the array core fiercely again. The array core cracked, and the hallucinogenic fragrance instantly filled the entire secret realm. Even some lucky individuals who weren’t knocked out were hit by the second wave of hallucinogenic scent. Only the three from Jijin Peak escaped unscathed.
At this point, it was what Elder Fang had initially mentioned—the Solitary Mountain Secret Realm was leaking everywhere, actively spitting out its disciples.
Elder Fang summarized expressionlessly, “Aside from the three disciples of Jijin Sword Sovereign from the Sword Sect, twenty-five disciples fell unconscious from inhaling too much hallucinogenic fragrance, and two disciples were injured by the lightning-summoning formation.”
