sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Young Sect Master has been too murderous these past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being trapped in this confined space and cultivating a calm heart is not necessarily a bad thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young girl from Lihe Sect is also severely injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuan is quite old, and it was not easy to have a child at his age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has been managing the Lihe Sect carefully and arduously for so many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why must the Young Master insist on completely annihilating them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A breeze rustled the leaves into whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The full might of the Thousand Mechanisms Mace was limited to targeting only the woman within the formation, unable to block the cold wind from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night wind gently moved her snow-white dress, exposing her straight, slender legs intermittently through the fabric, sketching out a remarkably aesthetic curve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly lowered her arms, gazing at the night sky with a calm voice, “Seven more days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had set a ten-day promise because she had the confidence that within these brief ten days, she could break the formation and emerge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lian, feeling helpless, put down the melon seeds in her hand and massaged her temples with a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although you, Young Master, mainly cultivate the path of slaughter, such deep-seated murderous intent is not favorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at Tianxi’s Thirteenth Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now plagued by negative energy, he is ultimately unable to break through to the next realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavier the murderous intent, the more severe the divine punishment and the Heavenly Tribulation will be when you are attempting to transcend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You continue like this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavenly Tribulation?” Su Jing’s delicate eyebrows twitched slightly, interrupting Ye Lian’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of eyes, gleaming with the cold light of stars, stared deeply back, “Do you think I’d be afraid of that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lian recalled something, her lips curving into a bitter smile, helpless, “I forgot, back when you were still young, you madly went up to Little Thunder Mountain alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no ranking in cultivation, you had already withstood that Heavenly Tribulation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in white didn’t speak much and quickly returned to silence, shifting her gaze from Ye Lian back to the vast night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Ye Lian wanted to keep her company with more conversation when a long, piercing sound rent the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lian’s gaze shifted, showing interest as she looked in the direction of the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw a Divine Beast come from the North, treading on clouds under the moon, pulling a golden Jade Chariot as if a swift breeze were spiraling in the night, and in a short span, it drew a very long trail of spiraling shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An immediate smile appeared on Ye Lian’s beautiful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Jade Chariot comes from Shifang City, heading for Lihe Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only someone of the esteemed rank of Miss Fang Da could have nine single-horned Divine Beasts pulling the chariot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jing closed her eyes, lost in thought and silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lian then continued with a smile, “I have heard that Fang Geyu from Shifang City is on very good terms with Li Jiujiu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her slightly closed eyes drew a very beautiful, elongated line from the corner to the end, as if the world’s finest painter had depicted them with ink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jing’s lips barely moved, “I said she won’t live past the tenth day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>can protect her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly opened her eyes and indifferently glanced at the ashes in the wind, “That jar of daughter red wine offered to Daze Palace must be burned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lian saw that even in such extreme rage, she still remembered the wine jar presented to the Queen of Daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile deepened, “Don’t worry, I have already tasked Jiachen to handle this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he looks as gentle as a young girl, when he gets serious, he can be frighteningly fierce.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the drifting clouds, in a secluded pavilion amidst the deep forest, Li Jiujiu lay on a couch, weak and drinking the bitter medicine spoon-fed by her father himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s often said that good medicine tastes bitter, but gulp after gulp, the remedy seemed barely effective, not even returning half a shade of color to her pale complexion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, the calamity caused in Xihai City is my doing alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Su Jing truly comes after seven days, your daughter will not burden the sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After swallowing the bitter medicine, Li Jiujiu’s gaunt face wore deep determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuan, putting down the empty bowl, uttered with a pained expression and a choked voice, “What nonsense are you speaking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are my daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your mother has gone, and now my only support is in you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I am incapable and couldn’t ensure a peaceful and joyful life, before disaster strikes, I will not let you face it alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu gave a bitter smile, “At this point, why needlessly add to the body count?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just, Father…” She suddenly reached out, grabbing at Li Xuan’s sleeve, holding it tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flush of embarrassment and hesitation colored her worn and pallid face as she bit her pale lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If one day, a young man comes up the mountain with my Autumnwater Sword, just tell him that I’ve married far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let him keep the Autumnwater Sword and not to…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not to wait for me anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuan trembled all over, his mustache uncontrollably shaking as he said with a grim face, “Jiujiu, you…you…you couldn’t have secretly pledged your love with that scoundrel Lu Chengfeng, could you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder ever since the incident at Demon Cave, even though Jiujiu was with him, she returned to the sect alone, and that disciple’s whereabouts were unknown!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiujiu’s Autumnwater Sword had also disappeared without a trace, whereas she had returned carrying that scoundrel’s Seven Stars Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now with this sudden horrifying sentence, Li Xuan was terrified out of his wits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu froze, not at all expecting her father to have such preposterous thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only had brotherly affection for her senior brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could there be any talk of the Swan Alliance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the stunned look on Li Jiujiu’s face, Li Xuan, misunderstanding, assumed it confirmed what he thought, his face turning red with restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How foolish, Jiujiu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You truly are the utmost fool!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I already told you before, your Senior Brother Lu has crooked thoughts and is not a good man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would you not heed your father’s earnest advice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu became anxious, “What are you saying, Father?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not Senior Brother Lu…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how could I ever like Senior Brother Lu?” she hesitated for a moment but eventually sighed lightly, “Father, Senior Brother Lu is dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say?” Li Xuan’s anger solidified on his face, clearly unable to process the news for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu thought to herself that Senior Brother’s death was caused by Baili An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though his body was discarded in the Endless Sea, the truth would eventually come to light, and she told of everything that had happened in the Demon Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She omitted Baili An’s name and status, referring to him only as a young man to avoid future trouble for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Senior Brother Lu’s death, she took all blame upon herself, explaining that Lu had accompanied her in search of the cave’s treasures and had succumbed to greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling desperate and seeing through his true intentions, her cultivation was no match for her Senior Brother’s, but was saved by a just young man who happened upon them and gave her the hard-won treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then developed feelings for him and thus gifted her Autumnwater Sword to the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lived for centuries, Li Xuan was exceedingly astute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her stammering and avoiding the main issue, it was clear she was hiding much of the truth, especially as he knew his daughter too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were merely budding affection, how could she have given her rite-of-passage gift to the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With thoughts swirling, Li Xuan sighed inwardly: Alas, a grown daughter can’t be kept at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she has her affections, who was he, as a father, to relentlessly pry the truth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was for the best that Lu Chengfeng was dead, to avoid him constantly thinking of ways to charm his daughter and harboring those improper designs.\u003C\u002Fp>",1398,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.479Z",1,"novelbin.me","217ea9e32d4194a9cd126a1701e15206d306480f0d789a12ff5c852cef32a94d","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-64","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-124",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
