In the days following Jun Lin's departure, I devoted myself even more diligently to practicing the Immortal Secret Technique, working day and night without rest. Every moment was incredibly precious to me, as I understood the heavy responsibility I bore—not only to clear my name but also to protect the Immortal sect and The Right Path, ensuring that the schemes of You Ying and Mo Xiu would not succeed.
One day, while I was deeply engrossed in my training, a faint yet urgent knocking interrupted the tranquility of my room. "Come in," I said coldly without looking up. The door creaked open, and Xiao Xuan hurried in, her expression filled with panic and unease, as if she had seen something terrifying. "Fairy, outside... there's a mysterious person requesting an audience. He... he looks very unusual," Xiao Xuan stammered, her body trembling slightly.
I frowned slightly, a wave of confusion washing over me. Who could it be at this critical moment? Was it an assassin sent by You Ying? Or someone else entirely? I stood up, adjusted my clothing, and slowly walked out of the room. At the entrance stood a man in a black robe, his face obscured by the shadows of his garment. Though I could not see his features clearly, the aura he exuded felt strangely familiar.
"Who are you?" I asked warily, gathering my spiritual energy discreetly in case of an emergency. The man slowly raised his head, revealing a handsome yet somewhat pale face. His eyes were deep like a pool, seemingly hiding endless secrets. " Fairy Ling Yao, it's good to see you," he said with a slight smile that carried a hint of bitterness. "I am here to help you."
I scoffed softly, not believing his words. "Help me? Why should I trust you? In this Immortal sect, I no longer know whom to believe." The man sighed gently and replied, "Fairy, I understand your skepticism towards everyone right now. But please believe me; I mean you no harm. I know about You Ying's schemes and that you've been searching for evidence to expose him. I can provide you with some clues to help you defeat him once and for all."
His words stirred something within me, but I remained cautious. "Why do you want to help me? What is your motive?" The man paused for a moment before saying slowly, "Because I too have suffered at the hands of You Ying; he took away my most cherished possession. I have an irreconcilable enmity with him." I scrutinized him carefully, searching for any sign of deceit in his expression, but his gaze was sincere and resolute, causing me to waver slightly.
"What clues are you referring to?" I finally asked. The man produced a jade pendant that emitted a faint glow and handed it to me. "This pendant contains crucial evidence of You Ying's collusion with Mo Xiu. If you can unlock its secrets, it will expose him for who he truly is." I took the pendant and examined it closely. Strange runes were carved into its surface—ones I had never seen before—but I could sense the powerful energy contained within.
"Why give this to me? Why not expose him yourself?" I questioned. The man smiled wryly and replied, "Though I know the truth, I lack the strength to confront him directly. Moreover, he has vast influence within the Immortal sect and many spies; if I act recklessly, it would only alert him. Only you, Fairy Ling Yao, possess the ability and courage to stand against him."
I pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons. Although I still harbored doubts about this man, the pendant might be the key to revealing You Ying's conspiracy—I couldn't let this opportunity slip away easily. "Fine, I'll tentatively trust you. But if you dare deceive me, I will not let you go," I said coldly. The man nodded slightly. "Rest assured, Fairy; every word I've spoken is true." With that, he turned and vanished from my sight.
Returning to my room with the pendant in hand, I began studying it intently. I attempted to infuse my spiritual energy into the pendant in hopes of unlocking its secrets. As my energy flowed into it, the runes began to flicker increasingly bright until they formed an image. In this vision, You Ying was seen conversing with Mo Xiu in a dark cave; their faces twisted into sinister smiles as they plotted an astonishing conspiracy. Although the image was somewhat blurry, I could clearly make out their figures and expressions.
"You Ying, your end is near," I clenched my fists tightly as anger ignited within me like flames. With this evidence in hand, I believed that at the Grand Compendium of Immortal Arts assembly, it would surely lead to You Ying's complete disgrace and allow me to avenge all the humiliation I'd suffered.
However, just as I prepared to further investigate the pendant's secrets, a powerful surge of dark energy suddenly swept towards me from afar like a raging tide. My expression changed instantly as an ominous premonition surged within me. Could it be that You Ying had sensed something and sent someone to seize the pendant? Rising from my seat, I cautiously gazed out the window in preparation for the impending challenge ahead.
