Chapter 221 Suyao
Chapter 221 Suyao
The woman was stunned when she heard Lin Shen's words, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "You... know me?"
Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru and others were stunned when they heard this.
Anu pointed at Su Yao and asked Lin Shen, "What? She is Su Yao, the last leader of the Qionghua Sect?"
When Su Yao heard the words "the last leader", a hint of displeasure immediately appeared on her face.
Zhao Linger also hurriedly pulled Anu. Anu glanced at Su Yao's expression and realized that he had said the wrong thing. He said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Su Yao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, saying, "Forget it, this is not your fault. It happened five hundred years ago. I haven't asked you yet, who are you?"
Lin Shen bowed and said, "I am Anos. They... are all my women."
Su Yao was stunned when she heard this and said, "Young man, you are so popular with the opposite sex. Four of them!"
Lin Shen looked away awkwardly, scratched his cheek with his index finger, and talked about other things.
Su Yao realized that she had said something wrong and said, "I'm sorry, please continue."
Lin Shen introduced Zhao Linger and the other three to Su Yao one by one. Whoever Lin Shen called nodded to Su Yao, and Su Yao also responded politely.
After the introduction, Lin Shen asked, "Master Su, why are you here? I remember your imprisonment should have ended."
Su Yao closed her eyes and pursed her lips. After a few seconds, she said, "It's all because of me being trapped by the karma of cultivating immortals that the entire sect is facing annihilation."
Lin Shen consoled him, "Master Su, we can't blame you for everything. After all, the entire sect is caught up in the frenzy of cultivating immortals."
Su Yao raised her hand, signaling Lin Shen to shut up, then she took a breath and said, "Anos, I know you are trying to comfort me, thank you for your kindness.
But I know very well that I cannot escape blame for this matter.
Also, please stop calling me Sect Leader Su and just call me Su Yao. After all, the Qionghua Sect is a thing of the past."
Lin Yueru asked, "Then Su Zhang..., Senior Su Yao, why are you here?"
Su Yao thought that after all, he had lived five hundred years longer than them, so he deserved the title of "senior", so she did not find fault.
He just said, “When Qionghua ascended to heaven, countless disciples died, such as Xuanji, and it also killed an upright and kind-hearted person like my nephew Huaishuo.
I'm here to pay my respects to them. By the way, do you know how Junior-Martial-Nephew Ziying is doing?"
Zhao Linger said, "Senior Su Yao, Murong Ziying has become a sword immortal. We once met him in the fairyland."
When Su Yao heard this, she burst into laughter, but after a while it turned into a bitter smile, and after a while, Su Yao's laughter stopped.
Su Yao muttered to herself, "I never expected this. We in the Qionghua Sect tried everything we could and tried every possible way, but no one succeeded in cultivating immortality. Only Junior Brother Ziying, who has already left the sect, succeeded.
Irony, so ironic. Hahahahaha..."
Su Yao smiled and tears appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Lin Shen said, "Senior Su Yao, you don't have to belittle yourself.
You were just blinded by desire, but at least you have come to your senses and turned back.
And I know that among your peers, your aptitude is not the highest, yet you have taken the position of headmaster, so it is normal for you to feel a lot of pressure."
Su Yao looked at Lin Shen with a strange look in her eyes and said, "You know me quite well. Indeed, I feel a lot of pressure every day.
But after being imprisoned, he felt free and at ease.
I can also reflect on my past mistakes there. By the way, how are Tianhe and Lingsha doing?"
Lin Shen said, "To be honest, it's not that good." After that, Lin Shen summoned the phantom of the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Su Yao said, "What happened to them? And the sword you summoned is not the same sword that fought with me just now."
Lin Shen pointed at the Sword of Slaying Demons and said, "This sword is called the Sword of Slaying Demons. I got it from the Ghost Sword Pond in the Ghost Realm.
The one guarding the Ghost Sword Pool is Han Lingsha.
Yun Tianhe has been living in seclusion in Qingluan Peak, and we just went there not long ago.
They both suffered from lovesickness for hundreds of years. By the way, Huaishuo and Xuanji are also in the Ghost Sword Pool now."
Upon hearing this, Su Yao sighed and shook her head, saying, "It's all our fault. We're trapped by our karma. I haven't even asked you why you came here."
Lin Shen said, "Senior Su Yao, this is a long story.
In recent times, all the sects of immortal cultivation have been attacked by a mysterious force.
Kunlun Mountain, Penglai, Luoluo Mountain, Shu Mountain, and Xianling Island were all attacked."
Su Yao said, "So what clues have you found?"
Lin Shen said, "I'm not very clear about the situation of other sects, but the two teams that attacked Shushan and Xianling Island both had the Qionghua Sect's logo on their clothes."
Su Yao was stunned when she heard this and almost shouted, "What! Besides the marks, did you find anything else?"
Zhao Linger said, "Both teams are colluding with demons, and the targets of their attacks this time are all immortal cultivation sects.
Senior Su Yao, do you know any inside information?"
Su Yao seemed to be lost in thought. Lin Shen said, "Senior Su Yao, if you have any concerns, please don't say them."
Su Yao smiled and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine, girls, it seems you have good taste.
Come on, let’s not go off topic. In fact, when Qionghua was punished by the Queen Mother of the West, not all disciples were thrown into the whirlpool of the East China Sea.
In addition, during their imprisonment in the East Sea, most of the disciples, with the exception of Xuan Xiao, repented, and some had their sentences reduced and were released early."
Lin Yueru said, "Could it be that among the disciples who were not imprisoned at the time or those who were released early, there are still evil intentions. Will they cause trouble again five hundred years later?"
Lin Shen tapped his temple lightly with his fingers and said, "There is a possibility."
Su Yao seemed to have thought of something and said, "I remember one thing. There was a fellow junior sister named Su Xiao who was also released early. But after she left, the Xihe Sword disappeared."
Lin Yueru asked, "Xihe Sword... What is the Xihe Sword?"
Lin Shen said, "It's one of the two swords forged by the Qionghua Sect for ascension. The other is the Wangshu Sword, which is now on Qingluan Peak. If Su Xiao stole it, it would be useless."
After all, the master of the Xihe Sword is Xuan Xiao. No one else can wield the sword except him. If someone else tries to wield it by force, it will backfire on them."
Su Yao said, "From the timeline, it's very likely that she was the one who did it.
However, if she wants to ascend with the two swords, it will probably be useless.
After all, Miss Lingsha has been dead for hundreds of years, and without a new host, it would be impossible to wield the sword."
Lin Shen said, "At least you helped us identify a suspect, didn't you? Thank you."
Su Yao turned around and said, "Forget it, I just want to be alone for a while, so please do as you please."
Lin Shen bowed to Su Yao and was about to leave when Su Yao stopped him. Su Yao said, "If...if you can see Tianhe, Lingsha, Ziying, Xuanji, and Huaishuo, please apologize to them for me, okay?"
Lin Shen said, "Why don't you go there yourself? I can use the Transcendence Technique to take you there, including the Immortal Realm and the Ghost Realm."
Su Yao shook her head and said, "I am a criminal and I have no face to see them."
Lin Shen said, "I promise you."
Su Yao turned her head to look at Lin Shen, said "thank you", and knelt down to repent.
Seeing Su Yao kneeling on the ground and repenting, Lin Shen couldn't help but sigh and left.
