My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 297 - 165: Breaking Into Lingxi Hall

Ever since Wen Guiyun took Gu Qingqing and the others to Yuqiu Pass, all the disciples of Lingxi Sacred Land who were outside were summoned back to the Floating Island. Their curriculum increased significantly, and the daily training intensified. All disciples in Lingxi Sacred Land were immersed in tense cultivation.

In such circumstances, Lingxi Sacred Land was unprecedentedly quiet. Everyone was absorbed in cultivation. If they wanted real combat experience, they would team up and seek out members of the Demon Path nearby to eliminate them. Although the time was short, the effect was significant, and many disciples had their cultivation improved to some extent.

That night, with the moon casting its glow upon the earth, the entire Lingxi Sacred Land was very quiet. Most places were dark, with only a few rooms lit.

A figure appeared within the Lingxi Sacred Land. She seemed very familiar with the layout of the Lingxi Sacred Land, swiftly passing through where the disciples resided and heading towards the Lingxi Hall. Along the way, she deftly avoided all the guards and arrived outside the Lingxi Hall.

The Lingxi Hall, as the central building of the Lingxi Sacred Land, was typically only opened for major events or significant occasions. Most of the time, it remained closed, and only a few disciples, aside from individual Direct Disciples, could enter.

Two disciples stood guard outside the Lingxi Hall, both from the Punishment Hall and with cultivation at the ninth rank, considered masters even outside.

"Do you smell a faint fragrance?" The disciple on the left twitched his nose and asked his companion.

"What fragrance?" His companion was taken aback, then also sniffed, eyes lighting up, "There is a fragrance, and it smells particularly good."

However, the left disciple frowned, "Where does the fragrance come from at such a late night?"

Though he was puzzled, he didn’t give it much thought, as it was almost unheard of for someone to break into the Lingxi Sacred Land and approach the Lingxi Hall intentionally.

"Don’t say it, this fragrance, although pleasant, feels a bit overwhelming. I feel slightly dizzy." The right disciple rubbed his temples, shook his head, seeing double, and couldn’t help but complain.

The left disciple wasn’t in much better shape. He shook his head, suddenly widened his eyes, intending to tell his companion that something was wrong, but his vision went black, and he passed out instantly.

"Thud! Thud!"

The two fell straight to the ground in front of the Lingxi Hall, losing consciousness entirely.

A shadow emerged from the nearby darkness, gazed at the two on the ground with a hint of disdain in their eyes, then reached out to push open the door of the Lingxi Hall.

Inside the main hall, oil lamps lit up the face of the person who entered. If Gu Qingqing and the others were there, they would surely recognize her as Lin Xian’er, who had been expelled from the sect.

She only opened the hall door ajar, slipped inside, and then closed the door again.

Lin Xian’er had visited the Lingxi Hall once or twice before, but each time, those Hall Masters and the Saint Master were present, so she did not dare to observe the hall freely. Now, glancing around, she noticed how spacious the hall was.

Mural paintings adorned the walls, depicting the history of Lingxi Sacred Land. The eight pillars inside the hall were made of rare artifact refining materials, featuring large, lifelike engravings.

Scanning around, she found nothing particularly special about the hall and couldn’t help but frown. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Her visit here was on Gong He’s orders. Gong He claimed there was a seal inside the Lingxi Hall. If she could find a way to break it, the Demon Path would win, and those who once humiliated her would kneel at her feet, begging for forgiveness!

She had never forgotten the humiliations from people in Lingxi Sacred Land, and now, with a chance for revenge, she couldn’t let it go. Thus, she accepted this task from Gong He.

Of course, she also wanted to prove herself to Gong He, hoping to help him while showcasing her ability, making him feel that she was someone who could stand alongside him!

Lingxi Sacred Land was a place where she had lived for many years, and she was very familiar with everything here. Avoiding the guards and arrays was easy for her. The sedative used to knock out the two guards at the door was given to her by Gong He, effective against anyone below the Half-step Immortal Rank.

Yet, inside the main hall, she saw no seal, nor any hidden areas, which puzzled her greatly.

Gong He certainly wouldn’t deceive her, especially since, even with her familiarity with Lingxi Sacred Land, entering the Lingxi Hall wasn’t easy, meaning there must be a secret chamber or hidden place inside.

With this in mind, she began tapping around the hall, trying to find something suspicious.

After tapping for a long time and finding nothing, her hands hurt from the effort. Lin Xian’er, not known for her patience, grew frustrated and slapped a nearby pillar. Suddenly, she felt part of the pillar sink in, and before she could react, the wall she was facing rippled like water, revealing a door.

She looked at the pillar, then at her hand, unable to believe her luck in accidentally finding the mechanism.

Very pleased, she hesitated for a moment, then walked straight towards the door.

Just as she was about to enter, the main hall door suddenly opened, and Ye Shenglan, Zhao Tonghai, and Lan Chi rushed in. Seeing the transformed Lin Xian’er, the three were somewhat astonished.

"Xian’er, why are you here?" Ye Shenglan couldn’t help but step forward and ask.

Although Lin Xian’er was expelled from Lingxi Sacred Land, and their falling out had been unpleasant at the time, Lin Xian’er was someone she had watched grow up and was important to her. When Lin Xian’er was driven out by Si Lin, she had even gone out to find her, hoping to secretly help her, but couldn’t, fearing Lin Xian’er might be in trouble.

Yet she hadn’t expected to see Lin Xian’er again inside the Lingxi Hall, and her appearance no longer resembled someone from the Righteous Path!

Lin Xian’er was startled by the actions of Ye Shenglan and the others. She glanced at Ye Shenglan but didn’t answer her question. Instead, she turned around and dashed towards the door.

"Trying to go in, don’t even think about it?" Lan Chi’s eyes flashed with a hint of cold light, and a sword flew out from his body, blocking Lin Xian’er’s path.
