Seeing that Zhao Binger wanted to tag along, Lu Xuan nodded. He couldn't wait to find Chen Xiaohan and Xia Chenxi and teach that Wang guy a lesson.
With Li Caidie leading the way, the three of them rushed to the Sword Cleansing Pool. Along the way, Lu Xuan also asked Zhao Binger why the Sword Cleansing Pool didn't allow female disciples to enter.
"The Sword Cleansing Pool, as the name suggests, is a place to cleanse swords. You should know that some weapons that have experienced battle will be tainted with a lot of violent aura, and even the enemy's resentment. Unless it's a special weapon, this kind of aura won't be of any benefit to the weapon itself. This is especially true for some low-level weapons. Over time, it will slowly corrode and even destroy them."
"Because of this, in order to protect these weapons, before they are collected, they need to be cleansed with some special medicine to wash away the various auras on them. However, the entire Sword Cleansing Pool is filled with resentment and violent auras. The souls of females lean towards Yin, and are not as strong as the souls of male disciples. Therefore, this kind of aura will have a certain impact on the souls of female disciples. It is said that in history, a female disciple went berserk because of sword cleansing. She became delirious and died in the end. After that, the sect issued a new rule that no female disciples are allowed to go to the Sword Cleansing Pool. "
After hearing Zhao Binger's words, Lu Xuan was even more furious. Only now did he understand the harm that the Sword Cleansing Pool did to Chen Xiaohan and Xia Chenxi. This was no longer just making things difficult for the two of them, it was simply a trap, a murder!
"Binger, what if I kill someone?" Lu Xuan asked in a low voice.
Zhao Binger's heart trembled slightly. She knew that Lu Xuan was really angry, but she had no intention of stopping him. If a man dared to kill for a woman, it meant that he truly loved her and was willing to take responsibility. Even if the woman Lu Xuan was doing right now was not her, Zhao Binger believed that if her position was swapped with Chen Xiaohan's, Lu Xuan would not change at all.
"Instigating the steward to violate the sect rules, he deserves to die." Zhao Binger's words settled the matter, and she wasn't biased at all. It was the Wang father and son who broke the sect's rules first. It was fine if they didn't find out. Perhaps someone above Manager Wang could suppress it. But since they ran into Lu Xuan's hands, they could only blame their bad luck. They could only blame Young Master Wang for messing with someone he shouldn't have!
Listening to Lu Xuan and Zhao Bing`er's conversation, Li Caidie could not help but shiver in her heart. In her eyes, the powerful Manager Wang was actually so weak in the eyes of Senior Lu and Senior Zhao? However, she quickly rejoiced. As long as she could curry favor with Senior Brother Lu, a casual word from him would be able to greatly change her status.
Along the way, a sealed pavilion appeared in front of the three of them. In order to prevent the negative energy within the Sword Cleansing Pool from spreading out and affecting the environment of the entire Mysterious Ice Pavilion, the pavilion where the Sword Cleansing Pool was placed had no windows. This caused the energy within to become increasingly dense, and they could only rely on some arrays to absorb and transform the energy.
"Stop right there! This is the Sword Cleansing Pool, you are not allowed to enter! "Just as the three of them were about to enter, two guards quickly stopped them.
Li Caidie quickly stood up and said, "We are Manager Wang's disciples, and we are here to cleanse our swords."
The two guards glanced at the token in her hand, then waved their hands disinterestedly and said, "Then hurry up and go in."
The Sword Cleansing Pool was not a good place. No one was willing to come here for no reason. Those who were sent here were basically those who had offended someone, so naturally, they would not have a good attitude.
However, when Lu Xuan and Zhao Bing`er passed by them, one of the guards could not help but mutter, "Why are there so many beautiful female disciples being sent here to cleanse their swords? What a waste, they don't know how to be gentle with the fairer sex."
Lu Xuan's heart moved. He knew that the guard was talking about Chen Xiaohan and Zhao Bing`er. He immediately stopped in his tracks, handed the guard a piece of upper-grade primordial stone, and said, "Big brother guard, do you know where the two beautiful women are?"
The guard looked at Lu Xuan vigilantly and found that Lu Xuan was dressed very elegantly. He did not look like an ordinary disciple at all. He could not help but secretly think, "Could it be that one of the elders or the nephew of a manager came here to pick up girls?" Wasn't that childe Wang who just went in like that?
He already had an idea in his heart, and coupled with the fact that he coveted the upper-grade primordial stone in Lu Xuan's hand, he immediately took it without hesitation and said, "The two of them are cleansing their swords on the second floor. Don't tell them that I told you."
He was worried that Lu Xuan and childe Wang would bump into each other and fight for Lu Xuan's affections. After that, childe Wang would cause trouble for him, so naturally, he did not want others to know.
"Don't worry," Lu Xuan replied casually, and then turned his head to Li Caidie and said, "Let's go to the second floor."
Li Caidie nodded. She had been to the Sword Cleansing Pool a few times. Although the sect rules forbade female disciples from coming here to cleanse their swords, anyone who offended someone, regardless of gender, would be sent here for education. With their background, they could not do anything to the people at the level of a manager.
As soon as he stepped into the Sword Cleansing Pool, Lu Xuan felt all sorts of negative emotions assaulting him, making him feel uncomfortable all over. As he circulated the Taiyi Return to Origin Technique, he instantly expelled all the negative emotions and returned to normal. This Sword Cleansing Pool was indeed not a good place. He did not know how Chen Xiaohan and Xia Chenxi managed to survive in this place. Thinking of this, Lu Xuan felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
Under Li Caidie's lead, Lu Xuan quickly made his way up the stairs to the second floor. There was a huge pool on the second floor, which was filled with a black potion that gave off an extremely strange smell. Countless weapons were scattered around the pool. They did not seem to be of a high level. Many of them were made of iron, and they could not even be considered as treasured weapons.
Many disciples were surrounding the Sword Cleansing Pool, using the black water in the pool to clean their weapons. However, they were all wearing special gloves, so they would not be hurt by the black water in the pool. After all, they were disciples of the Mysterious Ice Pavilion, and not criminals. It was just that this work was a little tiring, but for men, if they circulated their Yuan Power to resist, it would not be too much of a problem.
"They are really brave. It seems like there are quite a few female disciples here, and they are all pretty." Zhao Bing`er looked around and said.
Li Caidie finally could not help but complain, "Senior Zhao, you might not know, but for us ordinary disciples, the supervisor is an existence that can cover the sky with one hand. If you offend him, although he will not openly deal with you, he will not be able to do anything to you in the dark. For example, these sisters here must have been forced by the Wang father and son to do some things that they did not want to do, but they were not willing to lower their heads, so they were sent here."
Ever since she followed Lu Xuan, Zhao Bing`er was no longer as innocent as before. She naturally knew what Li Caidie was talking about. Since young, her starting point was very high, and she had always thought that the Mysterious Ice Pavilion was a pure land. She had never thought that under this pure land, there was actually such a dark side!
A mere supervisor was actually able to cover the sky with one hand in the area under his jurisdiction, and do as he pleased. He even used the power in his hands to force these young female disciples to sacrifice themselves. This was really unforgivable. Looking at their unscrupulous actions, who knew how many female disciples' chastity had been ruined by their hands.
Zhao Bing`er looked at the female disciples who lowered their heads and quietly cleaned the ice blades. She could not help but feel a trace of admiration in her heart. They dared to refuse, and even if they were being made difficult, they still guarded the pure land in the center. But at the same time, she also felt a trace of guilt, because they joined the Mysterious Ice Pavilion to pursue the path of martial arts and cultivate, not to come here and be framed by all kinds of unwritten rules.
"This kind of scum deserves to die." Zhao Bing`er said softly, "Looks like the Mysterious Ice Pavilion needs to be cleaned up."
"Senior Zhao, please stand up for us!" Li Caidie said with surprise. If it wasn't for the fact that she was not beautiful enough, she was afraid that she would have been killed. But some of her sisters were not so lucky.
Zhao Bing`er nodded and said, "Don't worry, this matter will definitely not end here. As a woman, I naturally have to seek justice."
While the two of them were talking, Lu Xuan was constantly searching for traces of Chen Xiaohan and Xia Chenxi. Fortunately, his eyesight was not bad. Even though the second level was huge and there were many people, he still found where the two of them were. Beside the two girls, there was a guy dressed in luxurious clothes who was nagging about something. Lu Xuan smiled coldly. This guy should be that annoying Young Master Wang.
"Xiaohan, Chenxi, as long as you come with me to find my father, aren't there so many easy jobs for you to choose from? You don't even need to do any work. That way, you can focus on cultivating every day. Why do you need to stay in this lifeless Sword Purification Pool? " Wang Yun said as he squatted by the side and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. He had only stayed in the Sword Purification Pool for less than 15 minutes, but he already felt that it was a little unbearable. He did not know how Chen Xiaohan and Xia Chenxi had been working here for a few days and how they were able to endure it.
Listening to Wang Yun's nagging, Xia Chenxi did not say anything. She continued to quietly wash her sword and maintained the circulation of the Yuan Power in her body. She did not let the negative aura invade her body and minimized the harm. She realized that this was actually a kind of cultivation, but the influence of the resentment on her soul made her somewhat helpless. She could only concentrate and keep her mind clear.
But Chen Xiaohan did not have so many concerns. She was the more straightforward one among Lu Xuan's women. Moreover, she had the soul forging technique to protect her soul, so she was not afraid of the negative aura and did not have to worry about talking to Wang Yun to distract her.
Chen Xiaohan said impatiently, "Wang, don't you find it annoying? You come every day and say the same thing every day. Do you really think that Chenxi and I are fools and don't know who brought us here?"
After saying that, Chen Xiaohan looked at Wang Yun with extreme disdain and said, "Why don't you go look in the mirror? With your excessive indulgence, you still dare to have ideas about me. You are really a toad lusting for swan meat! Also, you better block the news and don't let Lu Xuan know that Chenxi and I are here. Otherwise, not to mention you, even ten of your fathers would not be enough. "
