Chapter 1366: Chapter 1366: Restrictions Lifted

Sword Qi dissipated, and the changes in heaven and earth triggered by Ye Qingci’s unreserved sword also began to slowly fade away.

Qiu Tianlin watched this scene with some emotion in his heart. Even without those concerns, going all out, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to deliver such a decisive and clean cut as Ye Qingci just did now.

Although Ye Qingci, this rising star, had only recently become an Earth Immortal, his full-power stance was clearly already on par with Qiu Tianlin himself, who was currently injured.

Qiu Tianlin dared not think about what kind of young man Long Xuan, who was even stronger than Ye Qingci, might be now.

The Soul of a True Dragon flew out from the earth’s veins, lifting the falling figure of Yu Yanshu from the sky and carrying her back to the estate.

Qiu Tianlin collected his thoughts and glanced at Yu Yanshu’s condition. The wounds seemed nothing unusual, but the fact that her consciousness had not shown any signs of awakening was somewhat strange to him.

At this moment, Ye Qingci, who had rushed over, had already arrived inside the estate and immediately stepped forward to inquire upon seeing Yu Yanshu.

"Lord Chou, Yu Yanshu, she..."

Qiu Tianlin shook his head: "I don’t know what’s happening exactly. She seems to have nothing unusual, but her consciousness just isn’t showing any intention of waking up."

Ye Qingci’s eyebrows tightened as she too stepped forward to examine Yu Yanshu’s condition.

Qiu Tianlin did not stop her; after all, before leaving, Su Chengyu had entrusted everything regarding her with him, and in the entire Capital City, the person who knew the most about her was Ye Qingci.

It could be said that Su Chengyu’s trust in Ye Qingci even surpassed that of himself, her nominal teacher.

Ye Qingci, who was at the same Earth Immortal Realm, also furrowed her brows after inspecting Yu Yanshu’s condition.

"Clearly there are no fatal injuries, but why is there no sign of her regaining consciousness? And this situation seems as if some sort of switch has been flipped, causing the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy to gather at an unusually fast rate."

Qiu Tianlin glanced at Yu Yanshu and explained, "It should not be sabotage, it’s just that the switch she set for herself has been tripped by someone else."

"Her own switch?"

Ye Qingci looked up and asked, not quite understanding.

Qiu Tianlin then explained, "This girl has exceptional talent, so exceptional that I’ve never seen anything like it before, but for some reason, she has always been restricting her own rate of advancement. Otherwise, she would not still be at the mid-stage of Tongxuan[1] by now but would have already reached the later stage of Tongxuan, or even achieved a Golden Core[2]."

Hearing this, Ye Qingci immediately thought of the incident in Liuli Country where Yu Yanshu suddenly encountered her Tongxuan Tribulation. On that occasion, Su Chengyu was ill-prepared, and Yu Yanshu’s Heavenly Tribulation was extremely rare, nearly costing both Yu Yanshu and Su Chengyu their lives. It seems that it was because of this that Yu Yanshu set a switch for herself.

"So the Demonic Path did nothing but turn on the switch inside her body?"

Ye Qingci asked, surprised, feeling that something was off.

Qiu Tianlin did not speak either; after all, just the fact that the Demonic Path set their sights on Yu Yanshu was sufficient to make one feel uneasy.

"Ye Family girl, how did you end up coming here all of a sudden?"

Qiu Tianlin’s sudden question made Ye Qingci look up. Regarding the current Heavenly Punishment Department Master, who could only appear in this world by relying on the Dragon Vein, Ye Qingci did not hold back and handed over the message Su Chengyu had given her directly to Qiu Tianlin.

After a quick glance, Qiu Tianlin’s gaze returned to Ye Qingci, his expression growing even graver.

Both Earth Immortals now shared the same conjecture.

---

[1] Tongxuan is a fictional cultivation stage in the story.

[2] Golden Core is a stage in traditional cultivation stories, symbolizing a significant advancement in a cultivator’s power.

The person that the Demonic Path is obsessively eager to force Su Chengyu to hand over is very likely Yu Yanshu, who was born with a prophecy.

"The Great Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth, the Sect Hierarch of the Demonic Path... Logically speaking, such a person, if not killed, should definitely be closely guarded..."

Qiu Tianlin spoke somewhat helplessly, but before he could finish, Ye Qingci interrupted him.

"This girl is very important to Su Chengyu. He will not allow anyone to do that."

Ye Qingci’s assertive statement immediately refuted Qiu Tianlin’s comment.

Qiu Tianlin, of course, understood this; he was the Heavenly Punishment Department Master. Although he once told Su Chengyu that what mattered most to the Heavenly Punishment Department was not to ignore sentiment, the Qiu Tianlin of the past was definitely a man who showed no mercy or sentiment.

But after many vicissitudes, Qiu Tianlin’s mind state had undergone a profound change. Most importantly, he understood that if he really handed Yu Yanshu over to Xia Country, given Su Chengyu’s temperament, it was likely that he would completely fall out with him.

After all... he is the grandson of Su Linyuan.

"Lord Chou?"

Ye Qingci looked up at The Honored One, who still nominally belonged to the Heavenly Punishment Department.

Although by position, the Heavenly Punishment Department does not deal directly with matters concerning the Demonic Path, these incidents occurring before Qiu Tianlin’s eyes are hard for him to completely ignore.

However, upon hearing this, Qiu Tianlin turned his head away: "Why are you looking at me? I’m now nothing more than a homeless soul, unable to even leave Mount Qilong. What do you expect me to do?"

With Qiu Tianlin’s words, Ye Qingci finally felt completely reassured. As the Heavenly Punishment Department Master, there were certain things Qiu Tianlin couldn’t say, but his words had already made Ye Qingci understand Qiu Tianlin’s stance.

"Then this girl will stay here for the time being, I’m grateful to Lord Chou for helping to look after her."

Qiu Tianlin nodded, not objecting; after all, this was something he had promised to Su Chengyu.

Ye Qingci gave one last look at Yu Yanshu then spoke: "According to this pace, she should directly enter the later stage from the middle stage within half a month, and might even trigger the Golden Core Tribulation. I’ll go back to prepare her for the tribulation, and I leave the setup of the Formation to Lord Chou."

Qiu Tianlin didn’t object, but glanced at Yu Yanshu and asked, "Will she wake up after half a month?"

Preparing for the Tribulation and the Formation, naturally, both could arrange these for Yu Yanshu, but the Tribulation ultimately required personal involvement, and the two couldn’t completely dispel the Heavenly Tribulation for Yu Yanshu.

Ye Qingci replied calmly, "Eight or nine out of ten she will. The Demonic Path clearly isn’t trying to harm the girl; but even if they haven’t directly harmed her, I don’t believe they only turned on Yu Yanshu’s self-imposed cultivation switch."

Qiu Tianlin instantly grasped Ye Qingci’s meaning and looked at Yu Yanshu with a wry smile.

"The Sect Hierarch of the Demonic Path, that kid really knows how to take in disciples."

Ye Qingci didn’t say more, instead he changed the subject: "I will inform Su Chengyu of this matter. I just hope that nothing else happens before he returns."

Qiu Tianlin nodded. He understood the importance of this girl to Su Chengyu, but the Demonic Path dared to let an Earth Immortal strength individual step foot into the Capital City to snatch someone even without certainty. What about after certainty?

Moreover, Qiu Tianlin knew that the truth cannot be forever concealed; the matter of Yu Yanshu being sought after by the Demonic Path would be revealed sooner or later.

Not just the Demonic Path, Xia Country would also eventually become aware of Yu Yanshu’s uniquely special identity.

"Then, it’ll be time to see how he decides."

Murmuring softly, Qiu Tianlin watched the north with a stern expression.
