Chapter 1069 Lifting the Siege
The sect leader of Tingyu Sect was extremely angry.
"You all need to use your brains and think this through. This is clearly a trap, a trap specifically designed to target Venerable Song, yet you foolishly choose to jump right in!"
She appeared to be scolding her own disciples, but she was actually scolding others as well.
Who doesn't know what the other is thinking?
Isn't it just a ploy to take advantage of the chaos and steal some of Song Wanning's supplies?
What a smug face! Does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he's a quasi-saint cultivator?
The sect leader was furious and glared fiercely at the quasi-saint cultivator.
This person was a rogue cultivator and had no idea of Song Wanning's current status and importance.
If Song Wanning gets into trouble, they'll all be finished. They're such clueless idiots.
"And you all, if anyone dares to lay a hand on Venerable Song, then you are making an enemy of our entire Listening Rain Sect. I will immediately summon the sect's patriarch, and none of you will be leaving!"
The sect leader stood firmly in front of Song Wanning, his eyes filled with threat.
She wasn't just talking nonsense; anyway, this place was very close to the sect, so they could wait for the patriarch to arrive.
"Sect Leader Li, aren't you being a bit too domineering? I think your protection is just a pretense; you actually want to deal with Song Wanning alone after we leave so you can take the treasure, right?"
The Quasi-Saint stared coldly at the Tingyu Sect Master, his eyes dark and gloomy. His words immediately rekindled the fighting spirit of the cultivators who had been hesitant to fight.
Don't judge me by your own standards; I'm not like you!
The sect leader saw through the Quasi-Saint's scheme at a glance and bluntly stated, "Don't you just want them to be your pawns, helping you besiege Song Wanning, so that all the benefits will end up in your pocket?"
"Do you really think they're so stupid that they'd be fooled by you?"
"I think you all should understand that even if you stay and target Song Wanning, you will not gain anything."
She glanced at the other cultivators and said, "If I were you, I would rather go elsewhere to look for opportunities than be used as a pawn here and die in vain!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the surrounding cultivators changed drastically, and the way they looked at the Quasi-Saint also changed.
Everyone actually knew the quasi-saint cultivator's intentions; he was just trying to take advantage of the chaos.
But now that Tingyu Sect is on Song Wanning's side, it's not so easy to catch this fish anymore.
The expressions of those around her changed rapidly. Song Wanning looked at everyone, then at the figure in front of her, and felt a warmth in her heart.
She remembered the sect leader's kindness; regardless of his motives, he chose to protect her.
She was very grateful for this kindness.
"Everyone, I really did not try to take your treasures. I have been breaking the illusion and have never seen any of you."
Whether people believe it or not, she has to explain something.
"However, I have seen the spirit of this tower. The spirit can speak human language and is an ancient spirit, extremely precious."
"It tried to devour me, but failed, so it came up with this underhanded trick to deal with me. Please don't be fooled!"
She sighed as she spoke.
"So many of us came in before, but now several are missing. They were devoured by the spirit of the artifact."
"Everyone, please be very careful!"
Song Wanning sneered inwardly. Did that artifact spirit really think it could control this group of people to kill her?
Now, those arrows will be shot back!
Just wait for these people to attack.
"What? A spirit artifact?"
"Devouring the soul?"
Upon hearing that the spirit of the artifact could devour the soul, everyone's expressions changed instantly.
If this is true, then they are in great danger, since illusions are everywhere and they could easily fall into one again.
When the Quasi-Saint saw that everyone believed him, his eyes darkened slightly.
What evidence do you have to prove that what you're saying is true?
He's waiting for everyone to join in; we can't just let it go like this.
Song Wanning glanced at him sideways and said, "What, are you really stupid, or a spy sent by the spirit of the artifact?"
"Oh, I see. You deliberately wanted us to fight, so that some of us would die and others would get injured, and the artifact spirit would come to absorb our souls, and then you would come to steal our supplies, right?" "You have such a vicious mind!"
As if she had discovered something extraordinary, she immediately drew her longsword and aimed it at the quasi-saint cultivator.
Upon hearing this, the other cultivators immediately distanced themselves from the Quasi-Saint cultivator, not daring to approach him at all.
People started looking at him with more suspicion and malice.
"You—you're spouting nonsense!"
The quasi-saint was furious because he didn't expect Song Wanning to be so cunning.
"I have no idea what a spirit weapon is!"
He also sensed Song Wanning's feeling of being wronged but unable to defend herself, because the eyes of the surrounding cultivators were full of doubt, and no one believed him.
The quasi-saint cultivator was extremely frustrated and found Song Wanning's appearance increasingly repulsive.
The sect leader of Tingyu Sect smiled slightly.
Song Wanning was no pushover either; she was quite quick-witted.
"Alright, alright, we're just wasting time here. Everyone, please give our Listening Rain Sect some face and disperse!"
Continuing this stalemate will only waste everyone's time.
"That's enough!"
"Let's give Tingyu Sect some face and let it go this time!"
"Right, right, let's go. I still need to see if there's any treasure up there."
Everyone knew that continuing would be pointless, so they dispersed.
But everyone's goal was the top floors of the tower, and they all went to great lengths to get there.
The quasi-saint cultivator glanced at Song Wanning with some reluctance. This woman must have many treasures on her, and it would be a real pity to give up on her like this.
He glanced at Song Wanning subtly, then smiled and said, "Then I'll be going now."
"Hopefully you won't be all alone, hehehe..."
He made a sinister threat, then turned and left.
Only the cultivators of the Listening Rain Sect remained, eagerly awaiting their sect leader's instructions.
"Alright, you guys should go too. Everyone be careful, that artifact spirit is definitely not someone to mess with!"
They certainly wouldn't be willing to give up this opportunity, so all we can do is remind them to be careful.
"Disciple retire!"
The disciples dispersed, all heading towards the top of the tower.
With the crisis averted, Song Wanning breathed a sigh of relief. If so many people had actually clashed with each other, it would have been very troublesome.
However, the spirit of the artifact must be dealt with!
A murderous glint flashed in Song Wanning's eyes as she smiled and thanked the sect leader, "Thank you for helping me out of this predicament, sect leader."
"Venerable Song, you are too kind. This is what I should do. Besides, there was indeed a trick involved, and I did not lie."
The sect leader waved his hand, still wearing a smiling expression.
"However, the spirit you mentioned might harm you again, so you need to be careful."
"I know, thank you for the reminder, Sect Master. You be careful too!"
The two exchanged a smile, then parted ways and continued on their way.
As for the competition for the next opportunity, neither of them mentioned it, leaving it all to their individual abilities.
