A person from the Soul Suppressing Sect, and one at the peak of the original level, had infiltrated the sect's sword tomb. It was absolutely impossible that there was no conspiracy.
There was naturally no problem in bringing the yellow ape's corpse to question the Soul Suppressing Sect. The other party would definitely not be able to deny it. After all, this was the truth.
However, what Lin Ao was thinking about now was how Huang Yuan had died.
A Nascent Soul Realm old monster died silently. It was impossible for him to suddenly die, right?
"There's no hurry. It's more important to investigate this matter first.”
Lin Ao shook his head.
"Oh right, I remember that this place seems to be the place where Mu Lingshuang once cultivated, right?”
Lin Ao looked at the ground. There were some marks here.
" Yes, Sect Master, don't tell me you suspect that it's…"
Qing Yi was stunned and nodded.
"You're overthinking it. Mu Lingshuang's cultivation is only at the middle stage of the Aurous Core stage. No matter how strong she is, it's impossible for her to kill someone at the Nascent Soul stage.”
"Besides, she's been in the sect all this time.”
Lin Ao was just asking casually. He definitely did not suspect Mu Lingshuang.
"She has always wanted this sword, right?”
Lin Ao's gaze landed on the demonic sword beside the yellow ape's corpse. His divine sense repeatedly checked the demonic sword, but he found nothing.
However, this made Lin Ao even more confused.
He felt that this was not right. This sword was so ordinary, so why was Mu Lingshuang unwilling to give it up?
It had already been decades. Was it true persistence, a problem of foresight, or something else?
"Good heavens, these old monsters are indeed not easy to fool. They are very suspicious.”
Inside the demonic sword, Su Bai wasn't worried about anything. But seeing Lin Ao repeatedly checking his body and looking thoughtful, Su Bai knew that this guy was suspicious.
But so what? You won't find anything anyway.
At this moment, Lin Ao reached out to grab the demonic sword. He wanted to try and see if he could pull it out.
"Eh?"
Lin Ao exclaimed in surprise. He was actually unable to pull it out. It was a little strange. He was at the Soul Formation Realm.
Inside the demonic sword, Su Bai almost couldn't hold back. He wanted to use the same method as before to devour Lin Ao's primordial spirit. This was an old monster at the Soul Formation Stage. He would definitely gain a lot of demonic energy points by devouring his primordial spirit.
However, Su Bai held himself back and didn't act rashly. There were too many people here and it wasn't a good time to act.
"This is really strange."
He tried again, but he still could not remove the sword. Lin Ao gave up.
The doubt in his heart grew stronger.
After his fruitless search, Lin Ao once again set his eyes on the yellow ape's corpse. Then, he squatted down and prepared to take a closer look.
Soon, Lin Ao discovered the problem.
Demonic Qi!
On the yellow ape's corpse, he sensed a weak demonic aura. This was not the demonic aura that he had been contaminated with, but it was his own.
"You have demonic Qi on you."
Lin Ao said calmly.
"Ah? Demonic Qi? Could he be from the Demon Sect?"
"Or is the Soul Suppressing Sect colluding with the Devil Sect?”
Qing Yi said in shock.
After all, the yellow ape's cultivation base was not low. If such a person had demonic Qi, then the Soul Suppressing Sect might have a problem.
"Humph! No matter what, since he had demonic Qi on him, he must have come because of the mighty figure of the Devil's Doctrine sealed in the depths of the Sword Tomb.”
Lin Ao's face darkened again.
Puff!
At this moment, Lin Ao waved his hand, and a powerful force directly turned the yellow ape's corpse into ashes.
"Sect Master, you…"
Qing Yi asked doubtfully.
"There's no need to question him. Just pretend that he never came. As for how he died, we can't find out. However, we have to strengthen our defenses in the future.”
"The Blood Spirit Demon Sect must be unable to hold back and want to release it in advance.”
Lin Ao waved his hand, and a worried expression appeared on his face again.
This matter was already enough to give him a headache. He was too lazy to make enemies with the Soul Suppressing Sect.
Since the yellow ape had died without a sound, they could just pretend that it had never been here.
"Let's go back!"
Lin Ao said after standing there for a while.
"Xu Cheng, everything here is as usual.”
Lin Ao looked at Elder Xu and said.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Elder Xu nodded repeatedly.
Lin Ao and Qing Yi's figures disappeared very quickly. Elder Xu shook his head and was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, he just had to do his own thing. He was just an ordinary elder with only the cultivation of the Golden Core stage. He could not help much.
This time, the selection of swords continued. The disciples did not dare to ask what had happened before. After choosing their own swords, they quickly left.
……
"I won the first place in this competition. How about it?”
After some time, Mu Ling Shuang returned to the Sword Tomb. After the competition ended and she received her reward, she went straight to the Sword Tomb.
"It's within my expectations."
Su Bai had some understanding of Mu Lingshuang's strength. She had comprehended the complete sword intent, which was not something ordinary immortal cultivators could compare with. It was easy for her to fight someone of a higher level.
Mu Lingshuang was very happy to hear Su Bai's words.
"Mm, I won't talk to you anymore. I've gained some insights and will be able to break through to the late-stage Golden Core realm very soon!”
After she finished speaking, Mu Lingshuang sat down cross-legged beside the demonic sword and directly entered a state of cultivation.
Su Bai didn't tell Mu Lingshuang about what happened before, and the Taixuan Sword Sect didn't seem to mention it to her either.
A year later!
Weng!
A sharp aura burst out. Mu Lingshuang had broken through and entered the late-stage Golden Elixir realm. Her strength had increased greatly again.
However, Mu Lingshuang did not stop and continued to cultivate. It seemed that she had gained a lot of comprehension this time and might be able to break through to the peak of the Golden Elixir realm in one fell swoop!
Another year passed!
Three years!
Five years!
This was the longest time Mu Lingshuang had immersed herself in cultivation. The new disciples who came to look for the sword many times did not disturb her.
And now, sword cries could be heard around her from time to time. It seemed that she was continuing to break through, and it was getting stronger and stronger.
However, at this moment, a man came into the Sword Catacomb.
This was an elder of the Taixuan Sword Sect. His identity was the same as Mu Lingshuang's master, Qing Yi. However, this elder's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
When he saw Mu Lingshuang who was cultivating, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
