Chapter 1275 The Mermaid: Her Beauty Shine Like the Tide (1)

The night breeze, carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees, brushed past her ears. Li Guang stopped on a wide open hillside and turned to look at Su Muyan, who was following closely behind.

The bloodstains on his sky-blue robes were not yet dry, and his face was still somewhat pale, but the clarity in his eyes was undeniable.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait." Su Muyan stopped three zhang away, cupped his hands in greeting, and his movements carried the gentleness unique to a scion of a noble family. "This time, I was able to break the blood sacrifice formation entirely thanks to your help. If you hadn't attracted Ye Luo's attention and destroyed the runes, I would never have had the chance to destroy the altar."

Li Guang said calmly, "It's just a matter of each taking what they need. I don't want to be a sacrifice either."

Su Muyan smiled, the moonlight falling on his eyelashes and casting a faint shadow: "Fellow Daoist is joking. With your abilities, even without me, you should be able to escape. However..." He changed the subject, his gaze sincere, "May I ask your name, Fellow Daoist? I just observed your exquisite array formation and your unique water control technique. May I ask which school you studied under?"

Li Guang raised an eyebrow.

When cultivators meet, it's common for them to inquire about each other's sects and backgrounds, especially since she just revealed so many of her trump cards, which inevitably arouses curiosity.

“Chunxing, I belong to no sect or faction,” she replied casually. “I’m used to being alone.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Muyan's eyes, and then he said, "So it is Fellow Daoist Chunxing. Muyan understands your thoughts, but the path of cultivation is rugged, and it is inevitable to encounter danger when traveling alone. Although my Qingxuan Sect is not a top sect, it has strict rules and a wealth of scriptures, especially in the field of runes and formations, where we have considerable expertise."

He paused, then spoke with a sincere invitation, “If you don’t mind, would you be willing to return to Qingxuan Sect with me? My master is Sect Master Bai Wu, who has always cherished talent and would certainly be willing to accept you as his disciple.”

She had heard of Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty.

The cultivation world is divided into the Western Ember Domain, the Central Evolution Domain, and the Eastern Sea Domain. Among the three states of the Western Ember Domain—Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Lizhou—the Qingxuan Sect is considered one of the top sects in Lizhou. However, her situation is special; she still has a grudge to avenge.

Lan Yuan is the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect. She has a grudge against Lan Yuan, so she will take revenge on the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Qingxuan Sect is currently unable to resist the Tianjian Sect. When faced with a choice, she will inevitably be one of those abandoned.

Moreover, she observed that the Western Ash Region was not peaceful either. According to her inherited memories, the boundary marker was located in Qingzhou. However, upon arriving there, she realized that she was actually in Lizhou.

Just a century ago, turmoil broke out in Qingzhou and Lizhou, reshuffling power and even redividing territory.

During this time, she also inquired about some information. Various forces were constantly making small moves, and the Western Regions were not peaceful. If she really entered the Qingxuan Sect, she would inevitably be caught up in various conflicts.

She shook her head.

"Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Su." She turned around, the moonlight shining on her plain face, carrying a touch of aloof coolness. "I am a loner, and I'm afraid I can't stand the rules of the sect. It's good to be alone."

Seeing the rejection in her eyes, Su Muyan knew that further persuasion would be futile, so he said no more. He simply took out a jade slip and handed it to her: "This is my communication jade slip. If you encounter any difficulties in Lizhou in the future, or if you have come to a change of heart, you can contact me and I will come to you."

Li Guang took the jade slip, its surface smooth and warm to the touch, covered with intricate runes. She ran her fingertips over the jade slip and nodded, "Alright, goodbye."

Before she finished speaking, her figure swayed, and faint ripples appeared around her. The next second, she transformed into a light blue streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Su Muyan watched her figure disappear into the night, a faint smile slowly curving his lips.

This fellow Daoist Chunxing is more interesting than he imagined.

Her cultivation level is hidden, but what about her appearance? Is that also hidden? And her name—is she really called Chunxing?

And unlike others, he didn't rush to offer his communication jade slip; that's quite unique!

He withdrew his gaze, raised his hand, and crushed a golden talisman—it was the Qingxuan Sect's secret technique, the "Thousand-Mile Communication Talisman," which only core disciples could use.

The talisman transformed into a golden beam that shot straight into the sky, exploding into a golden lotus flower in mid-air.

Before half a cup of tea could be brewed, a white figure arrived riding on sword light and landed in front of Su Muyan.
