PS: Two updates today, still seeking recommendations!
Before fleeing the sect, Feng Muge had already become Feng Yunsheng. After much recollection, Yan Zhaoge finally remembered a vague piece of information.
The Great Sun Holy Sect was the first to discover the method to drive the Taiyin Crown and was also the first to begin collecting Taiyin Maidens. Initially, the Great Sun Holy Sect strictly kept the information confidential.
Other sects and holy places knew little about the specific details of the Taiyin Maidens cultivated by the Great Sun Holy Sect. Even after extensive gathering of information by places like Guangcheng Mountain, valuable intelligence was scarce, and one unconfirmed piece of information stood out.
The Taiyin Maiden of the Great Sun Holy Sect was a female disciple named Feng Muge. Unfortunately, apart from her name, there was no other valuable information, and her appearance and characteristics were completely unknown.
However, about two years ago, when the first Taiyin Trial was held, Meng Wan suddenly emerged. After that, the rumors about Feng Muge were considered a smokescreen by the Great Sun Holy Sect.
But now, looking at Feng Yunsheng in front of him, Yan Zhaoge couldn't help but make some associations. If she was a Taiyin Maiden who could help Guangcheng Mountain compete for the Taiyin Crown, she would naturally be of a different weight compared to other disciples who had left the Great Sun Holy Sect.
Rarity makes things precious. The Great Sun Holy Sect had Meng Wan, but Guangcheng Mountain still had no Taiyin Maiden.
"Before fleeing the sect, Feng Muge had already become Feng Yunsheng."
But upon hearing Feng Yunsheng's words and seeing her expression, Yan Zhaoge's heart sank slightly. The meaning behind her words clearly did not indicate a complete break with the past and a farewell to the Great Sun Holy Sect.
"Is there a problem with your Taiyin constitution?" Yan Zhaoge frowned and asked, "Did you lose your Taiyin constitution before fleeing the Great Sun Holy Sect?"
Upon careful thought, this was very likely. Otherwise, the Great Sun Holy Sect would not have allowed a Taiyin Maiden to wander outside. Even if they already had Meng Wan, they could not tolerate the possibility of Feng Yunsheng joining another sect.
Moreover, even with Meng Wan, the Great Sun Holy Sect would still have put effort into cultivating Feng Yunsheng. Not to mention her outstanding martial arts talent, which made her a potential Grandmaster, but even just having two Taiyin Maidens would make them happier, despite the greater resource consumption.
With the pressure from the Flame Demon World, the number of Taiyin Maidens was limited, and the Taiyin Trial did not restrict a holy place to only one participant.
For the Great Sun Holy Sect, Feng Yunsheng plus Meng Wan was a double insurance.
Feng Yunsheng regained her carefree demeanor and smiled, "If Feng Yunsheng were still Feng Muge, even if my grandmaster had passed away, Xiao Sheng wouldn't dare to act recklessly, and what happened afterward wouldn't have occurred."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Xiao Sheng, Chao Yuanlong, and the others were indeed looking for you. Did you enter the Dragon Suppressing Abyss before?"
Feng Yunsheng replied straightforwardly, "Yes, to hide my tracks and shake off pursuers, I entered the Dragon Suppressing Abyss for a while. Now, I am injured, partly due to the Dragon Suppressing Abyss."
"How did you lose your Taiyin constitution?"
"During an outing for training, I approached the outskirts of Hell and mistakenly entered a region of yin energy. The extreme yin energy damaged my own qi and constitution."
Although Yan Zhaoge's question hit her sore spot, Feng Yunsheng's expression did not change at all.
"At the time, I felt something was wrong. After returning to the mountain, I discovered that my Taiyin power was continuously declining and eventually gradually disappeared."
Feng Yunsheng sneered, her eyes filled with disgust, "It happened right after my grandmaster had just passed away, and I lost my Taiyin constitution."
"Xiao Sheng had ulterior motives and tried to take advantage of me, but I used the protective treasure left by my grandmaster to severely injure him."
"His grandfather was furious, twisted the facts, and accused me of seducing Xiao Sheng and then attacking him out of anger. He wanted to kill me to vent his rage."
"Fortunately, I received the news early, and my master secretly helped me, allowing me to escape from the sect."
Yan Zhaoge looked at Feng Yunsheng with interest and suddenly smiled, "Oh? Could it be that Xiao Sheng's words are the truth, and you are now just trying to deceive me with lies?"
Feng Yunsheng sneered, "Even if I were to pursue a man, I wouldn't choose him, Xiao Sheng. Huang Jie doesn't know him well, but isn't Senior Brother Tang much better than Xiao Sheng?"
Yan Zhaoge shrugged and smiled without a word.
If the truth was entirely on Xiao Sheng's side, the sect would have already sent experts to capture Feng Yunsheng, not just some young disciples close to Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Sheng's grandfather, though a Grand Elder of the Great Sun Holy Sect, was far from being all-powerful. With the death of Feng Yunsheng's grandmaster, there were still other Grand Elders in the Great Sun Holy Sect who could counterbalance him.
But to say that they would uphold justice for Feng Yunsheng was another matter. The conflict between Xiao Sheng and Feng Yunsheng lacked witnesses, and each had their own version of events.
Feng Yunsheng had not been defiled by Xiao Sheng, but Xiao Sheng had indeed been severely injured by her.
"I rebelled against the Great Sun Holy Sect and killed three of them. The Great Sun Holy Sect will not let this go," Feng Yunsheng said calmly. "Even within my own sect, they favor the Grand Elder's grandson over me, who has lost my Taiyin constitution."
"Your sect abandoning me is understandable. I only hope that Senior Brother Yan will not make things difficult for me and let me leave on my own."
"The pursuit by the Great Sun Holy Sect is terrifying, but at worst, it's just death. I might still be able to find a way to survive."
"Without my Taiyin constitution, I still have my blade. If there's hope, I will try; if there's no hope, I will try even harder."
Yan Zhaoge didn't speak, just carefully observing her.
Feng Yunsheng frowned slightly. She didn't see any evil intentions in Yan Zhaoge's gaze. But staying here for too long, other members of the Great Sun Holy Sect might find her.
But with Yan Zhaoge not speaking, she couldn't leave on her own.
Feng Yunsheng shook her head, bent down, and thoroughly searched the dead men's bags. Then, she swung her black long blade, using her meager internal energy to activate the weapon's power.
The spiritual energy of the treasure weapon transformed into a physical flame, which fell on the three corpses, immediately engulfing them in a fierce blaze.
Yan Zhaoge suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Feng Yunsheng wasn't shy but raised an eyebrow and looked at Yan Zhaoge without speaking.
Yan Zhaoge ignored her, pondered for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on his lips, "Feng Yunsheng, you might not be unable to become Feng Muge again."
Feng Yunsheng was taken aback, "The sect leader himself made the judgment, and all the top experts who were not in seclusion also..."
"They don't have the final say," Yan Zhaoge said casually.
Feng Yunsheng opened her mouth but couldn't find words to speak for a long time, looking at Yan Zhaoge.
After a while, the young woman smiled bitterly for the first time, "You are more confident than I am. Although I don't know where your confidence comes from, if I can recover my Taiyin constitution, I will be the beneficiary and should be happy."
"Senior Brother Yan, does this mean that Guangcheng Mountain can take me in? But I wonder how much authority you have in this matter?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled and was about to speak when his ears suddenly twitched.
Black-clad martial artists guarding the valley moved closer to Yan Zhaoge.
Someone was approaching the valley, and they were not friendly, with considerable cultivation!
Soon, a white-clad young man stepped into the valley, his face covered in a beard. It was none other than Xiao Sheng!
