Chapter 459: Chapter 11: You Stole My Man (Part 11)

Li Shuning returned to the sect, yet the current cultivation world seemed somewhat unstable.

It was said that quite a number of cultivators in the cultivation world had inexplicably lost their lives.

Initially, Li Shuning paid no heed to this piece of news. However, upon realizing who the deceased were, she pieced things together and discovered that all those who died had participated in the exploration of the new secret realm back then.

Li Shuning then knew that Su Ying had returned.

Having trained outside almost enough, she returned to the sect.

Upon learning news of Yu Yuan, she chuckled.

Indeed, Su Ying had returned.

That day when she fell off the Soul Returning Cliff, she thought she was doomed, yet the system managed to devise a way, helping her through the toughest days.

The most difficult aspect of the Soul Returning Cliff was that gas which could terrify even Mahayana cultivators; it would corrode anything it came in contact with, rendering true yuan protection and magic treasures useless.

However, the shield provided by the system could transform that gas into spiritual energy, which she could use for cultivation, defying the natural order.

She cultivated for a hundred years at the bottom of the Soul Returning Cliff and finally became an Integration Cultivator. Only then did she dare to ascend from the cliff.

This was something Su Ying and the system had analyzed, as staying there for cultivation was ultimately not beneficial for Su Ying.

In every sect, Mahayana cultivators would rarely take action.

Because once Mahayana cultivators act, the nature’s spiritual energy would destabilize, potentially capturing the attention of the Heavenly Dao. At that point, those elders long in seclusion might directly breakthrough, or be underprepared, resulting in breakthrough failures, leading to indescribable losses for those sects.

During the Body Integration Realm, as long as Mahayana cultivators do not act, with the system at her side, who can capture her?

Moreover, the main beneficiary of the fall into the Soul Returning Cliff was the system.

All those harmful gases were absorbed by the system.

The system upgraded, cleared all its debts, and even accumulated considerable points.

Su Ying redeemed plenty of good items in the marketplace, including many life-saving artifacts.

All those who forced her to use the Teleportation Talisman deserved to die.

Additionally, Su Ying believed she had been framed.

That secret realm was definitely not her doing; it must have been taken by one of those who entered the secret realm.

With a blade honed sharp, Su Ying returned to the cultivation world.

After killing many people and still not finding the secret realm, she pondered for a moment and concluded that Li Shuning was most likely the one who took it at that time.

Thinking of Li Shuning, Su Ying gritted her teeth once more; she was determined to kill Li Shuning.

Unexpectedly, before finding Li Shuning, Su Ying encountered Yu Yuan.

Returning to the cultivation world, she had indeed heard quite a bit about Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan had many troubles; a little inquiry revealed all that Yu Yuan had been up to over the years.

Su Ying felt disdainful, as at this moment, she was already a Sixth Layer Integration Cultivator. Yu Yuan, with his single spirit root, was still just in the Divinity Transformation Stage, which was utterly disgraceful.

Unexpectedly, the two actually met.

Seeing Su Ying, Yu Yuan was also stunned.

Su Ying, with her clothes fluttering, clearly stood out, and from her attire, it was obvious she was doing well.

Overjoyed, Yu Yuan directly rushed towards Su Ying.

“Ying’er, you’re alright, that’s great! You have no idea how much I’ve worried about you all these years…”

Su Ying sneered, “Worried about me, or busy flirting with female cultivators?”

Yu Yuan’s face darkened, “Ying’er, I didn’t expect you to misunderstand me. When you disappeared that day, those people took their anger out on me. I was under surveillance for a long time. To survive and find you, I sought a backer. What could I do? With so many strong enemies, I had no choice.”

Yu Yuan wore a grievance-filled expression, exuding an air of despair.

“Never mind, no matter what, as long as you’re safe, I have no regrets. If you despise me as filthy, let there be a next life, and I’ll surely become a clean person.”

After speaking, Yu Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand, fiercely striking his own dantian.

Su Ying naturally noticed and immediately rushed over to save Yu Yuan.

The two of them embraced, crying bitterly.

As husband and wife, Yu Yuan understood Su Ying most, and before long, the two were entangled.

Who did Yu Yuan hate the most? Naturally, it was the Qing Gang Sect.

He poured all his grievances into Su Ying’s ears.

Su Ying listened, face full of anger.

Evidently, Yu Yuan had become a mere stepping stone in others’ cultivation journey.

How dare they treat her man like this?

Yet, with two Mahayana cultivators in the Qing Gang Sect, Su Ying did not dare to take unnecessary risks.

The days of being treated like a rat crossing the street by the cultivation world were still fresh in her memory.

To help Yu Yuan regain face, Su Ying, who originally wanted to kill Li Shuning most, now decided to temporarily avoid going to the Xuantian Sect.

She gave Yu Yuan some resources and took him near the Qing Gang Sect.

Whenever Qing Gang Sect cultivators came out, they would follow them secretly to assassinate them.

Over time, the Qing Gang Sect suffered quite a few casualties, prompting the sect leader to order all cultivators to return to the sect without venturing outside.

Until the murderer was found, the Qing Gang Sect dared not let their disciples out.

Those out for training were all future seeds of the Qing Gang Sect.

Nonetheless, the high rank cultivators of the Qing Gang Sect ventured out to investigate but found nothing.

Li Shuning naturally heard about the Qing Gang Sect’s situation.

She thought for a moment and concluded it was likely the work of Su Ying and Yu Yuan.

However, Li Shuning wouldn’t act upon it—saying she suspected Su Ying? Well, people needed to believe her first.

Qing Gang Sect disciples perpetually stuck in the sect was certainly not viable.

Without uncovering the murderer, Qing Gang Sect seemed at a loss; hence the disciples resumed their training outside.

But they moved in small groups nonetheless and were still low-rank cultivators.

Su Ying, however, had no interest in such cultivators.

She was waiting.

Once the low-rank cultivators were left unscathed, the Qing Gang Sect disciples ventured out in larger numbers.

Yet, nothing happened.

The Qing Gang Sect found it bizarre.

They had no idea that Su Ying was waiting to catch big fish.

Before long, some Divinity Transformation Cultivators and Refining Void Cultivators from the Qing Gang Sect also ventured out. After departing, they met their demise not long after.

At this point, the Qing Gang Sect realized—they were indeed waiting for high-ranked cultivators.

Damned, since becoming one of the Four Great Sects, the Qing Gang Sect had never encountered such an incident.

On this day, Su Ying once again hid in the shadows, waiting for Qing Gang Sect disciples to come out.

Soon, she spotted a team of Divinity Transformation Cultivators leaving.

Eight of them in total.

However, for Su Ying, the more the merrier; she could acquire plenty of resources, all of which could benefit Yu Yuan.

After all, for an Integration Cultivator, dealing with just eight Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators was a simple matter. But Su Ying didn’t act immediately; she was always cautious. She shadowed the cultivators, intending to strike after they were far enough from the Qing Gang Sect.
