NovelEnglishChapter 649: Cause and Effect
They could all tell that Ling Chuxi’s cultivation did not actually increase, yet she was able to send Ye Qianhe, who was of a similar cultivation level, flying again and again so easily and so simply with a few extremely casual slaps that seemed to contain an amazing artistic conception of martial arts.
Besides the legendary Core of Martial Path, they truly could not think of any other possibilities that would enable this.
Ling Chuxi nodded in confirmation.

I thought that this occurrence was only a myth and never thought that you would have truly make this myth a reality. Today if it were not for you coming over, our old bones would have really been buried there in that valley,” lamented Xie Wuji in a tone that was not too greatly surprised. Heavenly Gloom Absolute Meridians were amazing and legendary meridians formed by the gathering of the heaven and earth’s spirit. Even if Ling Chuxi was enlightened with a Core of Martial Path while her cultivation was still in the realm of True Essence, it was not so shocking due to her having these legendary meridians.
However, he did not know how much Ling Chuxi had to suffer to develop this Core of Martial Path. Her life was even almost left within the array barrier.
“Chuxi, this time you saved our lives. We will remember your grace,” said Mister Cao succintly. However, given their identities as guardians, it was not hard to imagine how great of a weight his words held.
“If it were not for the aid of you seniors, I also would have been unable to be promoted to the realm of True Essence. This could also be considered a cycle of cause and effect,” said Ling Chuxi without any intention of being arrogant, endearing herself to the guardians.
“Why are you all still here anyway, my fellow seniors?” Although Xie Wuji addressed himself casually using the honorific one would use for an older brother, Ling Chuxi felt uncomfortable addressing him as such and even just thinking about it made her feel awkward.
“Sigh, it’s hard to explain! Back then, we had gone our separate ways to check on the array cores, yet we did not find anything out of the ordinary and we all felt that something was odd. Then, once we sensed the movement of the array barrier and noticed where the oddity stemmed from, we immediately rushed over. However, we never thought that halfway there, we would be ambushed by Wu Feng Hall, the Qiu family and Ye Qianhe’s troupe.
“Those bunch of b*stards not only poisoned us along the way, but they even used the huge city bows. As we were only concerned about rushing to the array barrier as fast as possible, we noticed that in our moment of lack, we have already come into contact with quite a bit of poisonous powder, so our cultivation was greatly depleted. It was at this moment that Chu Fengyun and the rest arrived. Ultimately, we were not their match and could only fight them off enough to retreat without even having the chance to force out the poison.
“Sigh. The few of us can also be considered to have gained fame during a young age, so we have always walked about as we wanted in this world. We never thought that at our old age, we would be rushed about like dogs, with a lifetime of fame threatened to be ruined,” Xie Wuji said emotionally.

“All right, all right. You still haven’t forgotten how to blow your own horn even at a time like this. Talking about gaining fame at a young age and walking about in the world as you like, it’s so shameful. Stop talking about such things already please,” Lin Cangbo said discourteously.
“We were only bothered about escaping with our lives intact, and in our haste didn’t consider that they would have long since set up a trap somewhere and ensnare us in step by step. You can also imagine what happened after. Chu Fengyun is a wildly ambitious man to actually drag us out here to die like this,” said Xie Wuji, his old face turning red with rage as he continued speaking.
“What happened to Chu Fengyun after?” Ling Chuxi asked curiously. If Chu Fengyun was still here, given the state of Xie Wuji and the rest of the guardians, they would have been unable to withstand his attacks for more than a couple of days. Why would it have fallen to Ye Qianhe to take action against them?
“In the beginning, the poisoning and the injuries caused by battling under the effects of the poisoning weren’t so serious, so Chu Fengyun exchanged blows with us a couple of times. However, once we fought back to death and still weren’t able to gain the least bit of advantage, he left these other people to deal with us instead and left,” explained Xie Wuji, able to guess at Ling Chuxi’s line of thoughts.
‘He just left?’ Ling Chuxi pondered to herself in her mind as her eyebrows knitted tightly together.
