Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 111: Secret Plan

In the main hall.

Qin Muling stood in front of a clear crystal lotus flower, a pure and clear purple light radiated from his hands, permeating into the lotus flower and eventually converging with the dormant body of the Ice Kite Celestial Lord, silently merging with her.

Within the purple light, there were faint traces of chaotic spiritual light, dazzling and magnificent, carrying the endless creativity of creation. The profound and mysterious Dao rhyme lightly diffused, causing Mu Yinghua, who was observing from the side, to change her expression.

The blue crystal lotus flower contained abundant vitality, nourishing the body of the Ice Kite Celestial Lord all year round. She still maintained the appearance of a youthful and delicate young woman, with exquisite facial features, high bun, and smooth and delicate skin like a peerless jade, exuding an unparalleled beauty.

The purple light, infused with the creativity of creation, merged into her body and soul, slowly and firmly repairing the numerous hidden injuries left behind by her travels in the Extreme Void Starry Sky in her early years. The vitality that had already declined to the extreme began to show signs of recovery.

The white-robed woman, who was the projection of the Ice Kite Celestial Lord's Spirit Partitioning, stood beside her, carefully sensing the various changes happening to her body and soul, her eyes filled with incredulity.

The Ice Kite Celestial Lord's active years were tens of thousands of years ago. She had once served as the sect master for thousands of years, but later grew tired and voluntarily retired, traveling with her three to five close friends, exploring the many dangerous places in the Extreme Void Starry Sky and uncovering the secrets of the ancient saints' Cave Mansion.

Later, she had a conflict with a prominent figure from the ancient Qilin clan over an important opportunity. The other party disregarded martial ethics and secretly mobilized a large number of powerful individuals from the clan to ambush and besiege her. After a bitter battle, all of her close friends perished, and she was the only one who managed to escape, albeit with serious injuries. She had been sleeping in this secret realm ever since.

Because of this incident, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and the ancient Qilin clan had a serious falling out, and they were on the brink of all-out war. In the end, the higher-ups from both sides intervened to mediate and barely suppressed the conflict.

"Master, how did you discover this little guy back then?" she asked quietly with her divine sense.

Mu Yinghua hesitated for a moment, then informed her of the reason with her divine sense.

"So it was Genesis Star Palace? That makes sense. We also went there back then, but unfortunately, we only stayed in the peripheral area and didn't venture into the core area..." The Ice Kite Celestial Lord's eyes revealed a hint of melancholy, as if recalling some past events.

After just a moment, Qin Muling felt a sense of exhaustion, as if his oil had run dry. He had to stop using his abilities. This was not only due to the depletion of his spiritual power, but also the consumption at the level of his soul, which couldn't be easily replenished with ordinary elixirs.

Mu Yinghua looked at him in confusion. "Why did you stop so soon?"

"It's because my current cultivation level is not enough," Qin Muling felt his internal state and helplessly said, "This ability has many limitations for now. I can only use it once a day at most, otherwise it will harm my foundation."

"Well, it's hard on you!" The Ice Kite Celestial Lord sensed the state of her body and soul, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "About half of my old injuries have been healed. It seems that there will be about twenty more times before I can fully recover. You, little guy, are indeed extraordinary!"

The effect of the first healing would be stronger, and the Ice Kite Celestial Lord estimated that it might weaken in the following times. But in about a month at most, she should be able to freely go out and bid farewell to this forbidden place where she had been trapped for tens of thousands of years.

Mu Yinghua's expression brightened. "Only a month? It shows that Mu Ling's ability is indeed useful. Then what about the other elders..."

"No need for that," a sweet and elegant voice with a faint majesty sounded from the top nine clear lotus flowers, "Your personal disciple's cultivation level is still low. Even if he is completely drained, he won't be able to save many people. It's better to wait. When he reaches the Heart Demon Realm, or even better, the Destiny Realm in the future, it will be much easier to handle this matter."

"Yes, I will follow the instructions of the ancestors," Mu Yinghua respectfully replied. These top nine elders were the third-generation direct disciples of the founder of the sect. Their seniority was unimaginably high. It could be said that all the sleeping elders in this hall were their juniors, let alone her, the sect master who had passed down the teachings for countless generations.

"Well, it's settled then. Xiaobingyuan, your injuries are relatively minor, so he will be the one to heal you. After you leave, you will become his protector and help him grow as quickly as possible," the voice continued.

Bingyuan Tianjun agreed resolutely.

"I wanted to give you some benefits, but unfortunately, your cultivation level is too low. The things we have kept for you are useless to you now. They would only be a burden in your hands. It's better to remember this favor for now and fulfill it when your cultivation level improves in the future," the voice said to Qin Muling.

Qin Muling had no reason to refuse. From this moment on, he had gained the recognition of these elders. Not only could he walk freely within the sect, but no one would dare to question him even if he did something excessive.

After speaking for a while, Mu Yinghua led his direct disciples out of the main hall and returned to Imperial Dao Peak.

...

Deep within the Extreme Void Starry Sky, in the Palace of Calamitous Fate.

In the deep and ancient hall, spiritual mist rose and brilliant treasures shone. Dozens of figures sat quietly, enveloped in a majestic pressure.

The palace lord was not present this time. The bronze lotus throne on the high platform was empty, but Daochu Mei Qingfeng was there. Her seat was located in front of the lotus throne, slightly to the left.

"...Princess Saint, after days of effort, we have collected some information about Qin Muling," Elder Luo Yujue, who was in charge of intelligence affairs, presented a jade token. Mei Qingfeng waved her hand and carefully examined the jade token.

"It's still not complete, but it's more useful than before," Mei Qingfeng's slightly regretful voice sounded. The high-level protection of Qin Muling by the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had been effective. Even though the Palace of Calamitous Fate had used almost all of its intelligence resources, they still couldn't figure out the true background and origins of this personal disciple of the sect leader.

Due to the numerous protectors around him, the few advanced spies didn't dare to make any big moves. They could only capture some footage of Qin Muling's daily life from a distance using residual image spirit tokens, just to fulfill their duty.

Except for a few senior sisters like Xue Bingxuan, no one could get close to Qin Muling now. His daily needs were personally handled by the sect leader Mu Yinghua, and no one could find an opportunity to intervene.

Elder Yuanxuan Kong calmly said, "The inability to find any problems itself means there is a big problem. Even in other Supreme Dao lineages, even those monstrous-level geniuses don't receive such exaggerated protection. It shows that this junior indeed has extraordinary secrets."

The elders nodded in agreement. It was rare to come across something that even the intelligence network of the Palace of Calamitous Fate couldn't uncover in the entire Extreme Void Starry Sky. The Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was willing to invest such a large amount of resources in Qin Muling, which was not something an ordinary person could enjoy.

"In that case, perhaps we can consider sending a group of elder-level assassins to secretly abduct him. This way, we can uncover all the secrets he holds. What do you think?" Mei Qingfeng asked.

There was silence around.

After a few moments, Elder Menghuo pondered, "Is it necessary now? Although we are indeed interested in him, he is ultimately just a newly appointed personal disciple. Even if he has some different secrets, they cannot currently affect the power balance between Supreme Dao lineages. It's not worth giving him such attention."

Luo Yujue also agreed, "That's right. If Your Highness is still concerned, you can continue to keep the sect's intelligence network on high alert. Perhaps, after some time, his secrets will be revealed."

The longer the secrecy period and the higher the level, the more exaggerated the cost. The Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's approach, which spared no expense, was bound to be unsustainable. Therefore, Luo Yujue was not worried.

The other elders also voiced their agreement.

Mei Qingfeng fell silent for a while. Her intuition told her not to take this name lightly, so her proposal was not wrong. However, at the current stage, it was difficult to convince these highly influential elders with her prestige and qualifications alone.

Forget it, I'll directly discuss it with Master when he returns.

Continued in the evening.
