C331 unable to obstruct the inner door
The water in the Seraphic Pond was shrouded by mist and steam.
In the center, in the center of the mist-shrouded lake, there was a small island that was faintly discernible.
This was the Heaven Lake Island, the Heaven Lake Peak's most important place, the place where the Heaven Lake Peak's Peak Master, Yuan Shan, cultivated in silence.
Along the way, she appeared to be in a hurry. In the blink of an eye, she flew over the surface of the Heaven Lake, heading towards the Tian Chi Island in the center.
The moment he crossed the surface of the Heaven Lake and stepped onto the shore of the Heaven Lake Island, an ordinary-looking woman walked towards him.
She recognized this woman, she was the Chen Yao who was in charge of Hundred Trials back then.
Chen Yao looked at Zhuang Liandie who had a worried expression, and a strange look flashed past her eyes.
"Junior Sister Zhuang, I heard that something happened to Wu Hao. What happened?" Chen Yao frowned slightly for a moment and asked softly.
"Senior sister Chen, my husband …" Zhuang Liandie briefly described what happened in Valley of Death, then asked her about the location of her Master Yuan Shan.
After Zhuang Liandie left, Chen Yao's expression became unsettled, and she muttered to herself: "Just who did he provoke, and why was she framed?"
Shaking her head, she anxiously caught up to Zhuang Liandie's leaving footsteps.
In a pink courtyard filled with peach blossoms, there was a steaming hot spring. The petals of a peach blossom floated in the hot spring, and in the petals, a middle-aged woman was immersed in the hot spring.
This woman was none other than the Peak Master of Heaven Lake Mountain, Yuan Shan.
"Disciple Zhuang Liandie greets Master!" Zhuang Liandie walked to the side of the hot spring, cupped her hands and bowed to the lady.
The woman didn't raise her head, but kept her head down instead. She gently caressed her skin, stirring up a few drops of flower petals.
"Say it, what do you want to talk to me about?" Her expression didn't change as she coolly spoke.
"Master, when my husband is in trouble, I beg of you to save him. This disciple will do everything in my life to repay you!"
"Your husband has already been brought into the Heaven Martial Inner Sect. I cannot save him!" The woman still did not raise her head as she replied indifferently. There was not a single trace of emotion in her voice.
Pow!
Zhuang Liandie suddenly knelt down towards her, her face revealing a pleading and sorrowful expression, and kowtowed three times to her.
"Master …"
I don't blame you, but you must know that Heaven Martial Outer Sect will never be able to dictate the inner sect's decisions. Your husband will be brought in to be interrogated. Yuan Shan interrupted her, stating an indisputable fact.
The Tianwu Inner Sect was a dragon's lagoon, a tiger's den. A mere Outer Sect was nothing.
After Zhuang Liandie finished listening, her face immediately became deathly pale.
"Master won't be able to save your husband. Leave, don't get yourself involved in this matter, don't ruin your own future!"
An hour later, Zhuang Liandie dejectedly left the Heavenly Lake Island and returned to the cultivation grounds where she was staying.
At this time, on Tian Chi Island, beside a hot spring, Chen Yao was helping Yuan Shan Shan change.
"Peak Master, is there really no way to save Junior Sister Die's husband?" Chen Yao asked him seemingly unintentionally.
"Ai!" Hearing this, Yuan Shan Shan sighed and replied faintly, "Nothing is absolute. It's just that I don't have absolute confidence that I can hurt my disciple's heart."
"Then Peak Master, your meaning is …"
"I am indeed unable to obstruct the decisions of the inner sect, especially the decisions of the higher-ups, but there is a possibility that one person from my Heaven Martial Outer Sect may be able to obstruct the decisions of the higher-ups, but the chances are not high. Furthermore, it seems somewhat impossible to get them to take action!"
"Who?" Hearing that, Chen Yao's entire body shook, and she subconsciously asked.
Yuan Shan suddenly raised her head, she gave her a profound look, but didn't say anything in a slow and leisurely manner, and replied: "Xinjin Peak Lord Wu Huan!"
