Xia Yue's voice was slightly hoarse: "Yes. His eyes are already empty, what difference does it make whether my dance is good or not?"
As Li Shuang's words fell, her mission was declared complete.
But she didn't feel any joy at that moment.
"You two leave, I want to be alone for a while," Xia Yue said, and with a wave of her sleeve, Li Shuang and Cang Yin were instantly teleported out.
Then.
The door of Yanhua Pavilion was tightly locked, with no intention of opening again.
This mission...
It was over.
In the end, only Li Shuang completed it.
"Thank you," Cang Yin looked at Li Shuang with a complicated expression.
Li Shuang was a bit confused: "Thank me again?"
Cang Yin gave a bitter smile: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been trapped there."
Li Shuang honestly said: "Whether you were trapped there or not, I was going to do the mission anyway."
Cang Yin's face stiffened, and she couldn't help but say through gritted teeth: "Li Shuang! Is it that hard to accept my thanks? "
Li Shuang looked at Cang Yin blankly, then said, "Then... you're welcome?"
Cang Yin was a bit helpless and said, "I'm planning to go to the Scripture Pavilion to have a look, want to come along?"
"Sure." Li Shuang nodded, this was already her next objective.
Compared to completing the mission itself, Li Shuang was now also curious about what happened fifty thousand years ago.
If she communicated more with these spirits, perhaps she could piece together a complete narrative.
This Langya Palace mission was definitely related to the sect's ascension.
It would be difficult for others to get information from these incomplete spirits, but her biggest advantage was her Reincarnation Art, which allowed her to obtain more information than others.
Just like Xia Yue's mission earlier.
Even if others had discovered the mystery of the half jade pendant, they probably wouldn't have been able to talk to Yuran, let alone lure him to Yanhua Pavilion.
To complete this mission, one would need a secret art for handling spirits, just like her.
When Li Shuang and Cang Yin arrived at the Scripture Pavilion, there were many more people gathered here than there had been at the Yanhua Pavilion.
"Quick, it's my turn now."
A disciple rubbed his hands together and quickly entered the Scripture Pavilion.
Everyone else was actually waiting outside.
Li Shuang tried to move forward, but the people in front hurriedly stopped the two of them.
"Don't go in yet. We've tested this mission; only one person can complete it at a time. If two people enter simultaneously, both will instantly fail."
Cang Yin was a bit surprised: "Oh? So, it seems someone has succeeded in this mission?"
Seeing it was Cang Yin, the disciple cautiously said, "Huo Lie and Feng Yu, both of them have succeeded. And several others have also succeeded."
Cang Yin immediately raised an eyebrow.
It seemed that this mission was far less terrifying than the Yanhua Pavilion mission. Several people had already succeeded.
Cang Yin was no longer in a hurry, if Huo Lie and Feng Yu could succeed, she probably could too.
She walked up to Li Shuang and said, "Let's wait and see."
Li Shuang nodded noncommittally.
After a while, the disciple who had gone in earlier came out, crestfallen.
Evidently, his mission had failed.
The disciple was only disheartened for a moment, then he immediately scurried off to do the stair-cleaning mission.
He had already failed two out of three missions, leaving only this last one with a glimmer of hope to complete.
Li Shuang quietly listened to the discussions of the crowd.
"Another one failed!"
"This mission is too frustrating. It's said that Elder Chen actually has a very good temper; as long as you find him, he'll let you massage his back. But the key is that he could be anywhere on the eight floors of the Scripture Pavilion. If you can't find him within a hundred breaths, then you lose."
"Be content, at least this mission isn't life-threatening. You haven't been to Yanhua Pavilion, you don't know that the demoness there actually kills people if she feels like it."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I'll just wait here then."
For the Scripture Pavilion mission, each person had only a hundred breaths to try. Some succeeded, some failed.
The queue quickly shortened.
Finally, only Cang Yin and Li Shuang, who had arrived last, remained.
Cang Yin looked at Li Shuang: "You first?"
Li Shuang shook her head: "No matter, you first."
Cang Yin no longer hesitated, it was just a matter of a hundred breaths anyway.
She went directly into the Scripture Pavilion.
Before a hundred breaths were up, Cang Yin emerged, her entire demeanor noticeably relaxed. With three points in hand, she wouldn't be eliminated so quickly.
Finally, it was Li Shuang's turn. After Li Shuang entered the Scripture Pavilion, Cang Yin didn't leave; she waited silently at the entrance.
Upon entering the Scripture Pavilion, Li Shuang paused.
The whole world suddenly became pitch black in an instant; even with spiritual energy, she couldn't see anything.
Li Shuang, however, was unusually calm.
Some things...
Could be seen without eyes.
Under the guidance of the Reincarnation Art, Elder Chen, as the only spirit, was exceptionally conspicuous in Li Shuang's perception, like a firefly in the dark night.
Li Shuang confirmed the direction and decisively headed to the third floor.
As she walked, Elder Chen actually started moving, which exasperated Li Shuang, who could only keep adjusting her direction to follow him.
Finally.
It took Li Shuang fifty breaths to corner Elder Chen on the fifth floor.
The lights instantly brightened.
Li Shuang saw an old man with white hair, who looked at Li Shuang with a strange expression.
When testing others, his position, once set, would not move.
But this time, seeing Li Shuang walk straight towards him, he became competitive and moved several times, yet Li Shuang still easily cornered him.
Elder Chen sighed: "Come on."
Li Shuang stepped forward and gently massaged his back.
The mission was instantly declared complete.
However, there was still time, and Li Shuang didn't want to leave just yet.
She activated her Reincarnation Art and softly asked, "Elder Chen, will Langya Sect take us new disciples with them when they ascend as a whole?"
New disciples?
A trace of bewilderment flashed in Elder Chen's eyes.
How could there be new disciples when the whole sect ascended? He didn't remember at all.
But if there were no new disciples, who was this person in front of him?
Elder Chen seemed dazed for a while, his memories slowly integrating. He said with a smiling face, "All disciples within the Langya Sect can ascend. What, do you want to ascend too?"
Li Shuang nodded, "Of course. I heard that the high-ranking disciples of the sect are busy at the Ascension Array. I wonder if us new disciples can help in any way?"
Elder Chen said indifferently, "Those who can go to the Ascension Array are elite disciples with over a hundred points. You now... are not qualified enough."
Li Shuang's pupils constricted abruptly.
Over a hundred points! Only then can one go to the Ascension Array!
This time, she had obtained another piece of key information.
"Alright, time's up, you may leave."
Elder Chen waved his hand, and Li Shuang was immediately teleported out.
