The Eight Trigrams

  Fed a small Lava Beast a Qi Nourishing Pill. Mo Tian Ge raised his head, seeing several escape lights flashing through the air.

  She thought for a moment, then released the small Flame Beast in a small valley and left the cave.

  After the mountain closure order, the entire protection formation of Taikang Mountain was opened, leaving only one or two places that could be entered and exited. The disciples who were ordered to exterminate the demons went in and out from those few places. However, except for the initial hundred or so disciples who left the mountain on orders, there were rarely any others entering or exiting. This Xu Guang, it seems, was here to transmit a message.

  For so many days, there had been no news, and thinking of Ye Jingwen, Mo Tian Ge pondered for a moment before heading to the Executive Hall.

  Before entering the main hall, two Qi-refining disciples guarding the entrance called out: "Uncle Mo."

  Moyan Song smiled and nodded. She was also a respected figure in others' eyes now. As she glanced at the Execution Hall, she asked: "Has there been any news about the demonic beast's chaos?"

  One of the Qi-refining disciples replied, "Is Master Uncle inquiring about news?"

  Mo Tian Ge nodded: "Not bad, I have old friends among the disciples of Lishan, I don't know what the current situation is like?"

  The two Qi-refining disciples exchanged a glance, and one of them said: "Uncle Master, we don't know much either, only that the situation isn't good. Please don't mention this, the other Qi-refining disciples still don't know."

  "Uh-huh, I know. The situation is bad, but are there any casualties?"

  "It seems so. Master Shu doesn't have to worry, you'll get news from Luo Shu soon."

  It seems these two disciples didn't dare reveal too much. Mo Tian Ge stopped asking questions: "Alright, thank you both."

  On the way back from the Executive Hall, not long after, Xuan Yin Zhen Ren sent a message, asking all disciples to go to his Dong Fu.

  Meng Tian hurriedly rushed over and saw that almost all of the disciples under Xuan Yin's door were already there, standing solemnly with anxious faces.

  She quietly walked up to Luo Fengxue's side, and Luo Fengxue shook her head at her, letting out a soft sigh.

  Mo Tian Ge saw her looking tired and worried, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

  Waiting for the disciples to arrive, Xuan Yin True Person opened his eyes and said with a serious expression: "You probably know that this time the situation of the demon beast's chaos is not good. I let you come here just to tell you about this matter." Sealing Snow.

  "Yes, Master."

  "You go talk to them."

  Luo Fengxue responded with a single word, her expression solemn as she turned around and said: "Fellow disciples, today the Execution Hall received news from Li Shan's disciple. Han Yu Shibo of Liu Yun Peak has fallen."

  As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's face showed a different color. The fall of a Jiedan cultivator represents what, they all knew in their hearts that this battle must be extremely intense, and the next step is to rescue, could it be Master this time...

  Luo Fengxue continued: "The first elder has decided to send out another batch of disciples for support, with a similar number as last time. Each peak will send one Jiedan cultivator, several elite disciples, and about ten ordinary disciples. Our Qingquan Peak has already decided that Shou Jing Shu Shu will go, but Shou Jing Shu Shu doesn't have any disciples, so the elite disciples who will be going to battle must be chosen from among us."

  The sky is singing a daze. The monks who went to war last time, in the Xuanqing Gate, were not too prominent but also had strong cultivation, it can be seen that the battle was not urgent, but Shoujing Shu Shu was the proud disciple of Jinghe Shizu, and his cultivation was among the top in the Xuanqing Gate. Now that the war has just started, he is about to be sent out, it seems that the situation is very bad.

  She could think of it. The other disciples had already thought of it, and the familiar people were discussing in a low voice at this time, either anxiously or worriedly.

  "Alright," Xuan Yin Zhen Ren spoke up, stopping his disciples' whispers, "Who among you wants to go?"

  Among the dozens of disciples present, no one responded. After a while, someone stepped forward and asked, "Master, isn't the current situation very critical?"

  Xuan Yin Zhen Ren nodded slightly: "There's no need to hide this from you, news has come that the first batch of disciples we sent out have already suffered casualties of over 30%. If you go now, it will be very dangerous." After saying this, his gaze swept across the crowd of disciples and he continued, "Among you, those who are in the initial stages of building their foundation don't need to go."

  Mo Tian Ge quickly scanned the surroundings, finding that everyone was stunned. The master had actually spoken bluntly that it was not necessary to go during the initial foundation building period, which showed just how great the danger was. These elite disciples, although their martial arts skills were above those of ordinary disciples, were even more afraid of death, making it too difficult for them to volunteer.

  After a long time, no one stood up. Xuan Yin Zhen Ren slightly furrowed his brow and said displeased: "No one is willing?"

  "Master." A clear female voice sounded, "I'm going."

  She raised her head to take a look, but was stunned. It turned out to be Second Master Sister Wei Jiasi! To be honest, she didn't have a very good impression of this Master Wei. Probably due to her exceptional talent, she had an arrogant attitude and rarely looked people straight in the eye. Especially since she keenly sensed that this Master Wei looked down on her.

  But she really didn't expect that Wei Shijie would have a bit of a strong temperament and be willing to take risks in obviously dangerous situations.

  Looking at Wei Jiasi, Xuan Yin Zhenren finally had a smile: "Jiasi, you're great. Who else wants to go?"

  Mo Tian Ge swept a glance over her, Wei Jia Si's expression remained calm, but there seemed to be a resolute meaning in her eyes - did she have some unavoidable reason?

  "Master, I... I'm willing too."

  "Me too."

  After a moment, two more disciples stood out. Xuan Yin Zhenren smiled with satisfaction: "Good, very good, you are willing to fight for the sect, I am delighted. Everyone else can disperse, you three stay."

  "Yes, Master."

  "Heavenly Song, let's go." After paying their respects, Luo Fengxue quietly grabbed Tian Ge's hand and pulled her out of the Dongfang manor together.

  After leaving Xuan Yin's residence, the two of them walked for a while before Mo Tian Ge asked: "Luo Shijie, is the situation really that critical?"

  Luofeng wiped away her tears, nodding: "If it wasn't dangerous, Master wouldn't have let Shoujing Shifu go. Sigh, I hope both Shoujing Shifu and Qingyuan Shifu can return safely... what are you thinking?"

  Mo Tian Ge thought for a moment before answering: "I was thinking of Wei Shifu."

  Luo Fengxue let out a "ha" and patted her shoulder: "You think Second Sister is willing to risk her life, that's quite impressive?"

  "It's not that... but it's indeed very rare." Many cultivators are self-centered, even if they come from famous and powerful sects that cultivate the mind and nature. Those who know the danger and still want to go are not many.

  Luofeng Xue smiled and leaned on her shoulder, saying seriously: "Don't be too easily moved, Second Sister Master took the initiative to go to war, it's not because...". She stopped halfway, looked around and saw no one, then continued in a low voice, "It's not because of Shoujing Shu Shu."

  "Huh?" Mo Tian Ge didn't understand.

  Luo Fengxue couldn't help but pat her head: "Fool! Just wait, there must be other female disciples on Qingyuan Peak who are willing to fight."

  "Huh?" Mo Tian Ge thought for a moment, seeming to understand a bit, "You're saying..."

  "Hmph," Lofeng Xue rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "In my opinion, it's them who aren't clear-headed! What kind of person is the Guardian of Silence? If one's cultivation can't keep up, what's the use of thinking about it? Our cultivators' lives far surpass those of ordinary people. If we don't have similar lifespans, how many years can we spend together? Alas..." By the end, she was sighing. Who says that cultivators and ordinary people are distant? Cultivators among themselves are also like this. Between the Foundation Establishment stage and the Core Formation stage, their lifespans differ by at least three hundred years. Even if they love each other dearly, in the end, they can't grow old together.

  Moye Tian Ge said with a strange tone, "There are so many Jie Dan cultivators, why do they only like Shou Jing Shu Shu? We're not ordinary women, can't we see beyond appearances?"

  Luo Fengxue patted her head again, but this time it was in praise: "That's right, that's why I said they're not clear-headed, taking the path of cultivation and yet still being like ordinary women! However, you can't say that Shou Jing Shifu is unlikable, she has good qualifications, high cultivation, is born beautiful, and is very young. Our sect's foundation-building brothers, none of them can compare to her."

  "Really?" asked Mo Tian Ge curiously, "I haven't seen Shou Jing Shifu yet, what's he like?"

  "......" Luo Fengxue wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it out loud, and instead said, "Looks just like Brother Qin."

  "Oh..."

  "Think about it, Shou Jing Shu Shu is already... hmm, around 140 years old this year. At this age, he's already in the middle stage of forming his elixir core. If he's lucky, it's not impossible for him to form his immortal fetus before he turns 200. Moreover, Shou Jing Shu Shu has a good temper, although he doesn't like to talk and is a cultivation fanatic, but precisely because of this, he's more likable. Women sometimes are the same as men, the colder and prouder the man is, the more they want to conquer him, right?"

  The nun looked up at the sky, thought for a moment, shook her head: "......I don't think so." In other words, this Guardian Nun was similar to Qin in appearance, but she told the truth, if it wasn't for the fact that they had been together for several months and she had developed a dependent mentality, she didn't find Qin particularly likable. Most monks were not ugly, many were handsome, and most were cultivation fanatics, nothing special about them.

  Luofeng Xue's face showed a defeated expression: "I admit defeat!"

  "I don't have that nerve, forget it." Mo Tian Ge smiled and asked again, "Luo Shi Jie, are you saying Wei Shi Jie likes Shou Jing Shi Shu?"

  "Heh heh, others may not know, but I do." Luo Fengxue said with a hint of disdain. "Occasionally, Shou Jing Shifu would come out to lecture, and Second Shifu would always go. And you also know that Shou Jing Shifu doesn't have any disciples, so us new students often get assigned tasks to go to Shou Jing Shifu's residence to handle some miscellaneous matters. Wei Shifu would always go... Once..."

  Luo Fengxue glanced around, not seeing anyone, before continuing in a hushed tone: "...As for this matter, I need to tell you something personal. We once had an uncle named Qingyuan Shifu, who was the second disciple of our master's ancestor, but he died unexpectedly. His descendant, one of our sisters, was then taken in by our master at Qingquan Peak. This happened over a hundred years ago, when Guardian Stance Shifu was also just brought to Taikang Mountain by our master. The two of them were close in age and were taught together by our master."

  "As for this senior sister, her innate talent was somewhat lacking, but it's still okay. With the master ancestor personally guiding her, how could she go wrong? So, just like Shou Jing Shu Shu, she also built a foundation after turning twenty. However, this senior sister probably had thoughts because she grew up with Shou Jing Shu Shu and was taught by the master ancestor herself, becoming arrogant and always viewing Shou Jing Shu Shu as something.

  Although it's not explicitly stated, Mo Tian Ge guessed the meaning, and Luo Feng Xue continued, 'Later on, when Shou Jing Shu Shu's cultivation surpassed this senior sister, the master ancestor gave him a separate Dong Fu. After that, he rarely interacted with this senior sister. You also know that Shou Jing Shu Shu is a cultivation maniac, only loving cultivation and nothing else. This senior sister's wishes were naturally unfulfilled, but her temper was bad, always making things difficult for the female disciples in Shu Shu's Dong Fu..."

  "So Wei Shijie was put in a difficult position?"

  "It's not," Lofengxue curled her lip, "At that time, Second Sister was only in the early stages of foundation building. This sister is in the middle stage of foundation building. I don't know what madness she had, but she actually beat Second Sister so badly that she suffered internal injuries and spat up blood. Because of this matter, Master Ancestor sent that sister to an outer branch. Now I don't know which branch she's at."

  This quarrelsome and jealous drama has left Mo Tian Ge speechless. The immortal family's mountain gate, a renowned and orthodox sect, actually has such gossip.

  "Don't tell anyone else about this, I'll tell you the details later when I have time. I'm exhausted, going to rest for a bit."
