Chapter 599: Interests and Feelings
Far away in the Beiming Sword Sect in the North Sea.
There were two figures standing outside the cave of True Lord Zi Yan.
There were two of them, one male and one female, both of whom were at the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. They were the two newly promoted Spirit Transformation True Lords of the Beiming Sword Sect.
The female cultivator's name is Li Qingyun. She is a legitimate disciple of the Beiming Sword Sect and one of the first two people to obtain the Xuanyin Soul-Forging Wine and try to break through the bottleneck of the God Transformation Stage.
However, in the end, only Li Qingyun succeeded in advancing, while the other person unfortunately failed to break through and died.
The person standing opposite Li Qingyun was named Peng Qian, also from the Beiming Sword Sect.
However, this person has another identity, that is, the leader of the Shadow Sect, one of the six sects in the North Sea.
Last time, with the order from True Lord Zi Yan, the Liufen Sect returned to the Beiming Sword Sect.
As a person at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he also obtained the Xuanyin Soul-Forging Wine and had the good fortune to go to the Yin Yang Cave to comprehend the way of the harmony of Yin and Yang.
Eventually he stood out and successfully advanced to the level of a god.
But at this moment, the two of them were standing opposite each other, and the atmosphere around them was quite tense.
"Senior Sister Li, you have been blocking me for many days.
The news from Tianlan Sect said that Senior Brother Zi Yan had ascended to heaven, so the relics left in this cave belonged to Beiming Sword Sect.
The demons are about to descend upon this world, and all resources must be used on our disciples.
"Now Senior Sister Li, you are still reluctant to open the cave, could it be that you want to keep it all to yourself?"
“Bah, you also know that Senior Brother Zi Yan has ascended.
Don't think I don't know what you are planning. This cave is jointly owned by my senior brother and his Taoist partner. How will your disciples and followers view you for taking it by force?
When he goes to the spiritual world one day, how will he face his senior brother?
Anyway, if you want me to open the cave, don’t dream about it.”
The meaning of Li Qingyun's words was already obvious.
She believed that the reason why Peng Qian refused to let Nie Ying in was because of the cave where Zi Yan and Nie Ying lived.
“Senior Sister Li is wrong. It is true that Fellow Daoist Nie is Senior Brother Zi Yan’s Taoist partner, but he is only staying in this cave temporarily.
Since my senior brother is not here, the final destination will naturally belong to the sect.
It's not that I'm heartless, but it's really not appropriate for Brother Nie to continue staying in our sect."
"No matter how you flatter me, you can never take over this cave."
Having said all this, Li Qingyun still refused to agree, and Peng Qian's face also turned gloomy.
"Senior Sister Li, you value friendship and loyalty, so you can sacrifice the interests of my Beiming Sword Sect?
Now that we have come to this, let’s speak frankly.
Is Nie Ying a member of the Beiming Sword Sect or the Shimo Sect?
I don’t understand her identity, and now that the Demon Sect has been destroyed, how can I let her come back?
If she wants to rebuild the Demon Sect at that time, where will the resources come from?
Senior Sister Li, you think I am greedy for the things in the cave, but I am actually protecting the Beiming Sword Sect."
Peng Qian is different from Li Qingyun. He was born in the Beiming Liufen Sect. Even if they are of the same lineage, there is still a layer of relationship between them.
However, after returning, he also acknowledged his identity as a member of the Beiming Sword Sect, but he was no longer so close to Nie Ying.
In Peng Qian's opinion, when True Lord Zi Yan was still alive, Nie Ying was the link between the Beiming Sword Sect and the Shimo Sect.
But Zi Yan has ascended, so what is the difference between Nie Ying's existence and the in-laws of the secular dynasty?
He was just afraid that Nie Ying would transfer the interests of the Beiming Sword Sect to the Shimo Sect.
And now, by coincidence, the Demon Sect has been destroyed by the Six Desires True Lord, so he cannot let Nie Ying come back.
Transferring benefits can only be regarded as sucking blood from someone.
But if Nie Ying wanted to re-establish the Demon Sect, he would probably have to skin and tear the Beiming Sword Sect apart to pave the way for it.
As for promises, Peng Qian didn't believe them at all. He only believed what he saw with his own eyes, and any possible signs must be nipped in the bud.
Nie Ying was at the peak of the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and had stayed in the Beiming Sword Sect for many years. He understood the sect's arrangements in all aspects better than even Li Qingyun and Peng Qian.
If he were to break through and advance to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, we would be truly unstoppable.
In response to Peng Qian's questioning, Li Qingyun remained silent.
She grew up under Zi Yan's watchful eye, and thought she knew Nie Ying fairly well.
Although he came from the demonic sect of the Shimo Sect, he was not someone who would do such a thing. He had even been in the Beiming Sword Sect for so long that he had some feelings for it.
The disciples in the sect also witnessed it.
But if it rises to the level of sect’s interests, then as Peng Qian said, we have to be on guard.
After all, human hearts are unpredictable, and they cannot guarantee that is Nie Ying's true side.
Even if it is, human hearts are fickle. With her Taoist partner ascending to heaven and her mentor passing away, and without constraints, no one knows whether Nie Ying's mind will change.
However, Peng Qian’s real purpose was not the cave itself, but to use it to stop Nie Ying from returning to the Beiming Sword Sect.
After a moment of silence, Li Qingyun finally spoke.
"I admit that you are right. From the perspective of the sect's interests, we should do this.
But you have considered all this, but you have missed one thing.”
"I'm missing something."
Peng Qian immediately asked.
He could sense that Li Qingyun had wavered, and as long as the missing problem she mentioned could be resolved, this matter would be accomplished.
"The only thing you forgot to consider was Nie Ying herself."
Li Qingyun explained with a sigh.
“Although we are cultivators, we are still human beings after all, and we still have seven emotions and six desires.
As for Nie Ying, it is true that she is the True Lord Huashen, but she is also a woman.
As a woman, she lost the two most important men in her life at the same time in a short period of time.
How desperate she must have been."
After all, in Li Qingyun's opinion, let alone whether they could survive the great calamity of the demon clan this time, even if they survived this calamity, it would be extremely difficult for Nie Ying to ascend to the spiritual world and reunite with True Lord Zi Yan.
"My Bei Ming Sword Sect and this cave are her last thoughts besides revenge.
Now you not only have to drive her away from Beiming Sword Sect, but also empty this cave to put an end to this thought.
You are pushing her to the edge.”
Li Qingyun did not finish the rest of the words.
In the future, if Zi Yan and others who ascended to the spiritual world really asked the ancestor to come down to the mortal world, Nie Ying would suffer a disaster because of them.
How could True Lord Zi Yan, who knew the truth, let them go? By then, there would probably be trouble within the family.
However, Peng Qian just sneered and seemed a little disdainful of it.
“I thought you were worried about something, Senior Sister Li.
If that day ever comes, you can just blame it on me.
I will take full responsibility when the time comes, and you will not be implicated in any way."
But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly interrupted.
"You are nothing.
You will take the responsibility? Can you afford it?
Let me help you see clearly today how much you really are worth. "
