After a fierce battle with You Ying and Mo Xiu, I realized that facing their schemes alone would be futile. I decided to seek reliable allies to confront You Ying and Mo Xiu together.
My first thought was of several esteemed elders within Immortal sect, who held great prestige and profound cultivation. However, I also understood that You Ying had been operating within Immortal sect for many years, his influence deeply entrenched, and the elders might not easily believe my claims.
I meticulously organized the evidence I had gathered, including the images from the jade pendant, the conversations recorded on the sound transmission talismans, and the Black Bottle dropped by Mo Xiu. I presented them one by one before the elders. "Elders," I said earnestly, "You Ying is secretly colluding with Mo Xiu to seize power in Immortal sect, endangering both Immortal sect and The Right Path. Please believe me and lend your assistance."
The elders exchanged glances after hearing my statement, their expressions grave. One elder spoke slowly, "Ling Yao, what you are saying is of great importance. We need time to investigate and verify these claims. You Ying has always behaved well in Immortal sect and has earned the trust of many; we cannot condemn him based solely on your word."
A chill ran through me as I realized that things were not going to be easy. However, I did not give up. "Elders, time is of the essence. If we wait until the Grand Compendium of Immortal Arts, it will be too late. You Ying has already set many schemes in motion; once they are activated, Immortal sect will fall into irretrievable ruin."
Another elder pondered for a moment before responding, "Ling Yao, we understand your concerns. But we must adhere to the rules of Immortal sect and cannot act rashly. Here’s what we will do: we will discreetly send people to investigate You Ying's whereabouts while strengthening our defenses in Immortal sect. You should continue gathering evidence; once we have solid proof, we will take immediate action."
Although the elders did not immediately agree to fully support me, their willingness to investigate gave me a glimmer of hope. After bowing in gratitude to the elders, I left the elder hall.
On my way back, I encountered Jun Lin. Upon seeing me, a complex expression flashed across his face—guilt, worry, and an indescribable emotion. "Ling Yao," he said softly, "I heard you went to see the elders. Are you... okay?"
I shot him a cold glance and replied, "Jun Lin, my matters are none of your concern. Stay away from me; I don't want to be deceived by you again."
Pain flickered across Jun Lin's face. "Ling Yao, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you or sided with You Ying. I want to make amends; please give me a chance."
A flicker of emotion stirred within me at his words, but recalling his past actions hardened my heart again. "Jun Lin, your apology comes too late. Right now, all I want is for you not to disturb me again; I have important matters to attend to." With that, I turned away without looking back.
Back in my room, I continued to ponder my next steps. Besides the elders, who else could I turn to for help? Suddenly, a thought struck me—my master. Though he had been in seclusion for years, his cultivation was unfathomable and he had always cared deeply about matters concerning Immortal sect. If I could gain his support, our chances would increase significantly.
I decided to visit my master's secluded location to seek his help. Passing through layers of restrictions, I arrived at the entrance of my master's cave. The air was thick with spiritual energy there, and the surrounding flora thrived abundantly. Respectfully standing at the cave entrance, I called softly, "Master, your disciple Ling Yao seeks an audience."
After a moment's pause, my master's voice came from within: "Come in." Cautiously entering the cave, I saw my master sitting on a large stone with his eyes closed in meditation. He radiated a soft glow as if merging with heaven and earth.
"Ling Yao," he said slowly as he opened his eyes and fixed his gaze upon me.
I recounted You Ying's schemes in detail to my master—the evidence I had collected and my conversation with the elders. As he listened, his expression grew serious. "You Ying dares to be so audacious as to collude with Mo Xiu and endanger Immortal sect? Ling Yao, you did well; we must not allow his schemes to succeed."
My master rose and walked over to me, gently patting my shoulder. "Ling Yao, rest assured; your master will help you. I will emerge from seclusion now and stand with you against You Ying."
With my master's support behind me, confidence surged within me. I knew that together we could thwart You Ying's plots and protect both Immortal sect and The Right Path.
