"You should remember the Plum Meeting that year."
Guo Nanshan continued while looking at You Siluo, "We young disciples sat by the Star Lake and talked around the bonfire the whole night."
Thinking of that night filled with the fragrance of wine and ideals, You Siluo let out a smile; but the smile faded away when she remembered that Cultivationist Lo Huainan was already dead.
The Cultivation tournament of that year's Plum Meeting was very competitive, and the winner wasn't determined until the end.
The young disciples of the Aoyama Sect, Zhongzhou School, Shui Yue Nunnery, Ōzawa and other sects were resting by the lake.
It was unclear who roasted a lamb and took out a jar of wine.
The jar was a magic treasure, so the wine in the jar couldn't be finished no matter how hard they tried.
Perhaps it was because they were tired, or perhaps it was because they had formed friendships during the fights, but they had intentionally forgotten the differences and hostility between their sects.
They started eating the meat and drinking the wine. They didn't use Zhen Yuan, so they soon got drunk and told each other some sincere words.
From that night on, these young disciples had a common ideal: to lead the Cultivation circle and even the human race to strive for a better future.
For this ideal, they cultivated diligently and looked for more companions. Now, the number of them had increased.
You Siluo remarked sentimentally, "I didn't expect you people to do so many things while I was behind closed doors."
Guo Nanshan said, "The real threat to the human race is the Snowy Kingdom. Even if the Master Broadsword King predicted that nothing would happen in one hundred years, what about one hundred years later?"
If they were regular people, they wouldn't have to think about what would happen to the world one hundred years later, even if there was a great flood.
But the Cultivation practitioners couldn't, because they would live in this world for a longer period of time, and they were young, enthusiastic and idealistic Cultivation practitioners.
You Siluo said, "Cultivationist Bai Zao said back then that the human race had to solve the internal problems if they wanted to defeat the external threats."
"That's right. The deviant sects are on the decline, and the only problem for the human race is Bulao Lin."
Guo Nanshan said, "Decades ago, the Emperor intended to invade the Cold Mountain, and the Imperial court had a lot of disputes. Duke Dingguo, who supported the Cold Mountain the most, was killed by an assassin of Bulao Lin on the street of Zhaoge City. This was merely a small part of the history of the past decades."
You Siluo said, "It's very difficult to eliminate Bulao Lin completely. Otherwise, the commanders would have done it long ago."
Guo Nanshan said, "That's right. Bulao Lin isn't a sect, so it's hard to find their headquarters. Old Lin might not even have a headquarters, because assassin organizations don't need it. If we want to completely eliminate Bulao Lin, we need to completely control the members inside, and then eliminate them all with a thunderous strike. Otherwise, the cultivation world will definitely be in chaos. "
Bulao Lin was very mysterious.
Everyone knew that Bulao Lin must have hidden a lot of people in each sect, such as Wei Chenzi, the Nascent Soul elder of Zhongzhou School who died a few years ago.
The problem was that no one knew who those people were.
After a moment of silence, You Siluo said, "Then, we need a spy …"
Guo Nanshan looked into his eyes and said, "That's right. We chose Liu Shisui."
You Siluo asked, "The problem is, how did you send him to Bulao Lin?"
"We had some clues, and we had some suspects." Jian Ruyun stepped forward and began to narrate the details of the story. "Back when we were purging the demons at the Muddy River, we found a problem. The Devil Pill in the Ghost Eye Carp's body was attached with a magic method to conceal the energy, which was indeed a strong temptation for young Cultivation practitioners. After some discussion, we decided on this plan that night and let Liu Shisui take the Devil Pill."
You Siluo asked with a slight frown, "Who made this plan?"
Sitting in a dark corner, Ma Hua raised his hand. Seeing the cold expression on his Second Brother's face, he felt a bit uneasy. He explained hastily, "Cultivationist Tong Yan made twenty-seven plans in advance. The situation at the time was just right. Besides, it was Young Brother Liu's request. We didn't force him to do it."
Guo Nanshan nodded and continued, "What happened later was in line with our expectation. Young Brother Liu's meridians were broken and he was expelled from the mountain gate. Less than a year later, he was taken away by someone sent by Bulao Lin. Everything was going smoothly until that incident happened. I believe that he would get access to the core list in twenty years."
You Siluo asked with furrowed brows, "Why did that incident happen later?"
"We also don't understand why Young Brother Liu would choose to join the Old Ones and commit such an evil deed that is hated by both humans and gods."
After a moment of silence, Guo Nanshan said, "It was my fault. I'll kill him myself."
…
…
Somewhere in the depths of the Cloud Platform, a cliff faced the sea, so no one could see it.
Standing on the cliff, Liu Shisui looked at the sea under the starlight with a calm expression.
The first time he heard the name Bulao Lin was at the Stream of Sword Washing.
At that time, he had just entered the inner sect, and Jing Jiu had to sleep in the South Pine Pavilion for another year.
Big Brother Gu thought highly of him and told him many things about the cultivation world and the sufferings that the human race had suffered in history.
Many of the dark scenes were related to Bulao Lin.
The officials of the Imperial Court were murdered for power, the righteous cultivators were brutally murdered for revenge, and the innocent businessmen died for money.
In the process, more and more ordinary people died miserably.
Bulao Lin might have colluded with the Underworld Demons.
Such an existence shouldn't exist.
But since it existed, it should be erased.
This was something that everyone who loved life and this world should do.
Liangwang Peak chose him to go to Bulao Lin because he had a high talent for cultivation and was a new disciple. Like a blank piece of paper, it was easy for him to gain their trust.
Liu Shisui was nervous and proud, but mostly because of his sense of responsibility.
After swallowing the Devil Pill at the bottom of the Muddy River, he started to have a fever, which aroused many suspicions.
From that day on, he suffered many blows. He was abandoned by his master Bai Rujing, suspected by his peers, blamed, and punished by Shangde Peak.
During those three years, he lived like a ghost in Tianguang Peak, but he didn't suffer because his mind was peaceful.
He only felt sorry for Jing Jiu.
On the day of the sword trial in Aoyama, Jing Jiu severely injured Ma Hua and Big Brother Gu Han, and even broke Big Brother Nanshan's sword. It was obvious that Jing Jiu did it for him.
Every time he thought of this matter, he would feel sad and happy at the same time. It was still the same even now.
The sound of waves came from the silvery sea.
The smile on Liu Shisui's face faded away.
He had been prepared to spend a few decades to gain the trust of others.
The death of Lo Huainan had accelerated the process.
His status in Bulao Lin had improved very quickly, and the information he had access to was of a higher level.
Now he had to make a choice.
Should he wait a few more years and get more information, like the evidence of Bulao Lin's collusion with the Underworld, or should he leave before he was suspected?
He made up his mind that night. He chose the former, because there were still many important things he hadn't figured out yet.
Did the Godly Swordsman of West Ocean know anything about Bulao Lin? Who was Xiwang Sun?
It was rumored that Xiwang Sun and the Godly Swordsman of West Ocean were brothers. Xiwang Sun occasionally said that his status and power in the Western Sea Sword School seemed to prove this.
The problem was that Xiwang Sun had suddenly appeared more than ten years ago, and he hadn't been at the Western Sea Sword School the whole time.
The Dace Devils in the Muddy River were Xiwang Sun's scheme, and there were many similar schemes. How could he control so many demons?
It was rumored that these formidable demons were sent to Chaotian by the Underworld through the Huge Whirlpool.
Did Xiwang Sun have something to do with the Underworld?
Why did he trust Jing Jiu so much?
Looking at the ocean under the starlight, Liu Shisui felt cold all over his body.
Over the years, he had always felt that someone was watching him in Silence, watching every step he took.
