Chapter 535

"In short, just rest assured; with Shushan around, it's hard to even die."

Ei seemed to have heard some earth-shattering secret and looked at Lumine in surprise.

Although she didn't understand romantic love, but...

Just because one hasn't eaten pork doesn't mean one hasn't seen a pig run!

"In that case, Yae Miko is already with the Shushan Sect Master..."

Before the words were finished, the Primordial Jade Cutter was unsheathed in an instant, its sharp, peerless sword light pointing at Ei.

The restless sword intent was even more terrifying than Lumine's Art of God-Slaying Thunder.

Ei froze instantly.

She couldn't even block the Art of God-Slaying Thunder, let alone this strange weapon.

Lumine hurriedly pacified the Primordial Jade Cutter.

"She didn't mean it, she didn't know these things couldn't be said, don't be angry!"

The Primordial Jade Cutter flew a circle around Ei, seemingly warning her, and then returned to Lumine's waist.

Ei breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling a lingering fear:

"What is going on? This sword... how does it give me the feeling that it could kill me? And it's so spiritual."

"Isn't this Morax's Primordial Jade Cutter?"

Lumine spread her hands.

"It used to be, but later Headmaster Zhongli gave this sword to the Sect Master. After the Sect Master re-refined it, it is now a top-tier spiritual weapon."

"Cultivators' dharma treasures all have their own spirituality, and the top-tier spiritual weapon Primordial Jade Cutter is even more so."

"This is the Sect Master's personal sword; before I came out, the Sect Master lent it to me for self-defense."

"I originally thought that if I couldn't win, I would let the Primordial Jade Cutter help, who knew..."

Hearing this, the Shogun's face darkened.

So...

It was her fault for being too weak!

But thinking about it, it felt quite good.

If Lumine had really drawn the Primordial Jade Cutter, Makoto wouldn't have been saved just now.

Speaking of which...

Makoto and that Archon of Time seem to be very familiar; otherwise, why would Istaroth be willing to help?

But these questions could wait until Makoto wakes up.

"By the way, a reminder for you."

Lumine suddenly clapped her hands and said softly:

"Although Shushan doesn't manage the private affairs of its disciples, it is a cultivation sect after all, and there are many precepts."

"Especially regarding the Sect Master; all private matters of the Sect Master are not allowed to be spoken of casually; otherwise, the Law Enforcement Hall will punish you if they find out."

"The Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall is the Head of Dragon Head Peak, Zhongli, which is who you call Morax."

"You have also seen the first disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall; that is Senior Brother Xiao."

"So... be careful with your words and actions."

Ei felt a chill in her heart and nodded heavily.

"Of course, Shushan has many other rules, and the seven branches of Shushan also have their own precepts."

Lumine counted on her fingers:

"Different duties, different rules, but as long as you don't do anything out of line, there generally won't be any problems."

"Anyway, you aren't as unreliable as that guy Venti."

Seeing Ei looking puzzled, Lumine explained again:

"Venti is the Anemo Archon Barbatos; he is now the Head of Morning Sun Peak, but he is too rowdy on weekdays and is often punished by the Law Enforcement Hall."

"In short, you'll know once you go to Shushan."

Ei nodded in realization.

She had heard people say that the Anemo Archon had also joined Shushan, but she wasn't clear about the name Venti; now that she heard it, it sounded exceptionally familiar...

It seemed that a certain bard who almost tore down the gates of her Tenshukaku in Inazuma was named Venti, right?

Ei was a bit annoyed and planned to go to Shushan to settle the score with Venti.

To save Makoto, she could only go to Shushan.

To protect Inazuma, she could only go to Shushan.

Shushan was a place Ei had to join no matter what.

The situation in Inazuma was already quite dangerous; if she didn't find a way out soon, it would be completely dragged into the bottomless abyss.

"I still don't understand many things about Shushan. Lumine, if you are not in a hurry, can you stay for a while and tell me about it?"

"Here?"

Lumine looked at the surrounding environment in confusion.

Ei shook her head.

"After returning to Inazuma."

"Probably not."

Lumine said helplessly:

"After solving your matter, I have to return to Shushan for seclusion as soon as possible; otherwise, the exploration conference of the Nine Nether Secret Realm in a while will be very dangerous."

The Nine Nether Secret Realm, Ei had heard of it; Zhongli, Venti, and Alice, these three strongest experts of the current age, were almost beaten to death after entering the Nine Nether Secret Realm after cultivating.

Although Lumine looked strong, in the path of cultivation, there should still be a big gap between her and them.

Looking at it this way, Lumine couldn't be left behind.

"However, General Kujou and the others entrusted me to bring you out just so you could join Shushan and find a way out for Inazuma as soon as possible."

"Senior Sister Yae Miko is also waiting for you in Shushan."

"So, if there are no accidents, you still have to go to Shushan with me."

Lumine said another sentence, and suddenly, Ei became excited.

"Really?"

"Of course."

Lumine spread her hands.

"The crisis Inazuma is facing now is quite serious; if it weren't for General Kujou and the others feeling that if they dragged it on any longer, Inazuma would perish."

"They were planning to stabilize the situation in Inazuma first before letting me wake you up."

"So, you must go to Shushan as soon as possible."

Ei remembered Lumine telling her earlier that the spiritual energy recovery had completely swept through Inazuma.

Immediately, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Makoto still had hope; she couldn't let Makoto take over an Inazuma riddled with crises.

Thinking of this, Ei nodded heavily.

"I will solve Inazuma's problems as quickly as possible and go to Shushan with you!"

After saying this, Ei looked at the Shogun again.

"Shogun, you heard Lumine's words too; the current Inazuma has completely fallen into a vortex; if we don't change, we die."

"You have also seen the great power of cultivators; I really don't have the confidence to protect Inazuma under the spiritual energy recovery."

"So..."

The Shogun's face was calm, and she said softly:

"I said, as long as I witness that the power of cultivation is strong enough and worth changing eternity, I will not stop you."

"Although pursuing eternity is my will, maintaining Inazuma is my most fundamental belief."

"I will help you, be the sword in your hand, and help you welcome this transformation of cultivation."

"I also believe that cultivation can give Inazuma a better eternity."

Ei was overjoyed and said with emotion:

"Thank you, Shogun, but..."

"I have said it before, you are my friend, not my shadow."

The Shogun's eyes flickered, and she did not answer.
