Lame Li, despite his strange identity, was indeed not as powerful as Hezi. If Hezi were Lame Li's master, Lingfeng could still barely believe it, but if Lame Li were Hezi's master, that would be truly astonishing.
Hezi exhaled heavily, his gaze gradually becoming hazy, but he still said, "Actually, my master is the creator of the Falling Leaves Technique. However, his physique does not allow him to cultivate both Celestial and Demonic powers, which led to his stagnation in cultivation. Two years later, when we met again, he imparted the essence of the Falling Leaves Technique to me and transferred all his cultivation to me before leaving this world!"
Everyone was taken aback, hardly believing their ears. They never expected that Lame Li, who had been engaged in academic education at the Demon Suppression Sect for many years, was actually the previous generation's Shixu, the creator of the Falling Leaves Technique.
Unfortunately, although Lame Li created the Falling Leaves Technique, due to his limited aptitude, he was unable to cultivate both Celestial and Demonic powers, resulting in his cultivation remaining at its original stage. Because of this, his lifespan also began to be restricted.
After leaving the Demon Suppression Sect, he encountered Hezi. Knowing that his time was short, he transformed his cultivation into that of a Demon Cultivator through the Falling Leaves Technique, imparting it all to Hezi without reservation.
In this light, it was not surprising that Hezi possessed such immense power.
Upon hearing that Lame Li had passed away, Lingfeng felt a deep sense of oppression in his heart. Perhaps it was due to the inherent goodness of human nature; Lingfeng had always been grateful to Lame Li, but now he would never have the chance to express his thanks in person.
Ultimately, Hezi also left this world peacefully, without any regrets, as if all his wishes in life had been fulfilled.
After burying Hezi, tranquility returned to the Demon Suppression Sect.
When Lingfeng arrived at the main hall, Qing had already regained consciousness and was sitting up by the bedside, her thoughts tangled.
"Master, how are you feeling?" Although unsure of Qing's current feelings, seeing her distressing arm made Lingfeng empathize deeply.
Qing smiled reassuringly and said wearily, "I'm fine. After some time of recuperation, I should be able to keep this arm!"
Now that Qing had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and reached the Out-of-Body Experience phase, although she could not immediately grow a new limb, with some time for healing and replenishing her Spiritual Energy, her arm would eventually return to its original state.
Lingfeng nodded reassuringly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Master, I will be leaving the Demon Suppression Sect soon to search for Monkey Head in the Mandala Demon Realm!"
Qing was silent for a while, thinking before responding, "The Mandala Demon Realm is too perilous; it is a gathering place for many Demon Cultivators. Even with Wan Shitong by your side, it may not guarantee your safety."
"That's not a problem. I am well-acquainted with the Spirit Sect, and infiltrating it will be quite easy. What I am worried about is the future development of the Demon Suppression Sect. You are currently gravely ill, and the Mandala Demon Realm will surely send assassins to the Demon Suppression Sect, which would be very detrimental to you!" Lingfeng said.
Qing smiled lightly, sighed, and looked out the window. "My life and death are not important. Besides, your Six Senior Brothers are here; they will naturally protect me, so you need not worry!"
Lingfeng hesitated but nodded. He knew the capabilities of the Cursed Assassin; even a master like Azure Vine would take some effort to defeat one, especially since Qing was currently injured.
If the Mandala Demon Realm were to send assassins for a sneak attack now, the Demon Suppression Sect would truly be in grave danger.
Nevertheless, Lingfeng still needed to return to the Spirit Sect. Gaining trust within the Spirit Sect and being able to infiltrate it were no easy feats. Moreover, Lingfeng had been away from the Demon Suppression Sect for quite some time; any further delay might raise suspicions.
After pondering for a moment, Lingfeng left the Main Hall and headed to Wood Peak.
Mu Qiu was organizing personnel. After the recent events, the Five Peaks Sect Leader no longer dared to be lax; they returned to their respective peaks to gather disciples and arrange for the protection of the Demon Suppression Sect.
"Lingfeng, what brings you here?" Mu Qiu asked curiously as she noticed Lingfeng's furrowed brow after finishing her arrangements.
"Senior Sister, I want Wan Shitong to stay at the Demon Suppression Sect!" Lingfeng replied.
Mu Qiu looked at Lingfeng in confusion and then asked, "But if he stays here, what will you do?"
Wan Shitong was highly skilled; if he remained at the Demon Suppression Sect, he could certainly intimidate those Demon Cultivators who intended to attack it, making it safer for everyone involved.
Mu Qiu pondered for a moment, glancing at Lingfeng with some difficulty, and said with a hint of complexity, "I also want to keep Universal Sage here, but he might not listen to me!"
"If we just let him stay here like this, he definitely won't agree. I thought of that too, but we can use a trick!" Lingfeng replied.
"A trick?" Mu Qiu was taken aback; she didn't know what kind of scheme could deceive Universal Sage. Little did she know that Universal Sage had already been tricked by Lingfeng many times.
"Senior Sister, let's use that wooden cage of yours. Tonight, I'll call him over here, and then you can take the opportunity to restrain him with the cage. I will also leave tonight!" Lingfeng suggested.
Mu Qiu stared blankly at Lingfeng, surprised by how relaxed his expression and attitude were, showing no signs of reluctance. In fact, she had no idea that Lingfeng was struggling to bear the pressure within.
After dinner, Lingfeng approached Universal Sage. After an intense battle that had left him shaken, Universal Sage had not fully adapted yet and was still caught up in feelings of excitement and triumph.
"Big Brother, Senior Sister Mu Qiu is looking for you about something!" Lingfeng said as he sat beside Universal Sage, casually resting his left arm on his shoulder.
Universal Sage glanced at Lingfeng, suddenly feeling a surge in status. With a proud yet somewhat pretentious tone, he said, "What could she possibly want? It's probably just because I stole the spotlight today; she's infatuated with me!"
Lingfeng suppressed a laugh and replied earnestly, "Exactly! You should have seen Senior Sister Mu Qiu's expression; it was truly beyond description!"
Universal Sage paused for a moment before eagerly leaning closer to Lingfeng, curious and anxious as he asked, "What was her expression?"
"Well..." Lingfeng raised an eyebrow, looked up thoughtfully, and said, "It seemed like admiration and infatuation; she even looked a bit beside herself!"
Universal Sage wore a satisfied grin, chuckling to himself while proudly declaring, "Of course! Have you seen who I am?"
"Then are you going or not?" Lingfeng seized the opportunity to ask.
"Let me think about it!" The Know-It-All put on a show, then lay back on the bed with a smug smile on his face.
Lingfeng knew that the Know-It-All had fallen for the trick, but out of respect for the man's pride, he needed to play along. At this moment, if Lingfeng used some reverse psychology, the Know-It-All would agree immediately.
Thinking of this, Lingfeng felt a bit disappointed and said, "If you don't go, I'll tell Senior Sister!" With that, Lingfeng pretended to get up.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't!" The Know-It-All quickly grabbed Lingfeng's arm and sat up. "When did I say I wouldn't go?" He then joked, "If I dared not to go, your Senior Sister would definitely take care of me!" With that, he dashed out the door towards Wood Peak.
Watching the Know-It-All's retreating figure, Lingfeng smiled lightly. He then picked up the Connecting Rod and walked towards Water Peak.
Night had fallen, and the entire Demon Suppression Sect fell into silence again, as if nothing had happened at all.
Arriving at Water Peak, Lingfeng headed straight for Enchanting's room. He pushed open the door and found Enchanting and Lili sitting on the bed holding hands. Lili's face was streaked with tears, and Enchanting looked worried.
"Oh, what's going on?" Lingfeng asked with a beaming smile as he entered the room.
Before Enchanting could speak, Lili quickly stood up and rushed to Lingfeng, asking directly, "Lingfeng, how is Monkey Head doing now?"
Since returning to the Demon Suppression Sect, Lingfeng had been busy with other matters and had subconsciously been avoiding Lili. He didn't know how to explain Monkey Head's situation to her, and his only option was to evade.
However, one could avoid the first day but not the fifteenth; Lili still asked this question.
Lingfeng helplessly glanced at Enchanting, but she also wore a worried expression and couldn't offer him any help.
"Actually..." Seeing Lili so anxious, Lingfeng gritted his teeth and slowly said, "Actually, Monkey Head is doing well now—better than both of us. You don't need to worry!"
Lili's eyes sparkled with a hint of light as she asked excitedly, "But why hasn't he come back?"
"Well, Monkey Head has his own matters to attend to, but you must believe that you will see each other again soon!" Lingfeng replied smoothly. He had no idea what would happen in the future; who could predict whether it would be fortune or misfortune for Monkey Head?
However, Lingfeng couldn't bear to see Lili, such a fragile and innocent girl, caught in the dual torment of longing and worry. He could only lie, trying his best to make his words sound reassuring so that Lili would feel at ease.
After hearing Lingfeng's words, Lili finally smiled, like a lily blooming amidst the storm, warm and endearing.
"Lili, are you feeling better now?" Enchanting noticed Lili's smile and felt relieved. She walked over to Lili's side and spoke softly.
Lili nodded eagerly, wanting to say something to Lingfeng but hesitating; however, her grateful expression was already evident.
"Lili, you should go back and rest well!" Although Lili had forgotten herself in her happiness, her worries had already left her exhausted. Enchanting gently took Lili's hand and said with concern.
Lili cheerfully agreed with a smile and then turned to leave Enchanting's room.
Once the door was closed, Lingfeng finally slumped into a chair, lowering his head with a sigh, completely different from his earlier demeanor.
"What's wrong? Why do you suddenly look so haggard?" Enchanting hurriedly poured a cup of tea and held it to Lingfeng's lips, feeding him a sip.
Lingfeng drank the tea and sighed lightly, grasping Enchanting's hand as he said, "I have to leave tonight!"
