Chapter 354: I Am a Sword Cultivator, Buddha Saves All Beings
As Si Tu Jian Nan introduced them, the people of the Shao Clan went from looking annoyed, to calmer, and finally to completely shocked.

The Five Elements Dao Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Clarity Sound Temple together made up almost half of the Seven Supreme Sects.

The Shao Clan could not afford to offend even one of them, let alone all three.

The stern faced Shao Yi Man forced the corners of her mouth up, holding a stiff but still polite smile.

The two Shao Clan brothers who had spoken rudely a moment ago avoided eye contact and gave awkward laughs.

Long Fei Fei felt incredibly pleased.

She was just about to show off a bit, but when she turned and saw Yu Zhao’s calm face, a strong feeling of loss suddenly rose in her heart for some reason.

It was like Yu Zhao had done nothing at all, yet just a few words from her could make the people across from them accept everything willingly.

But she herself was someone whom everyone in the Cultivation World shouted at to kill and avoided as much as they could.

They seemed to stand very close, but it also felt like they came from two different worlds. Even if their paths crossed for a short time, in the end they would still return to their own tracks.

Long Fei Fei did not know how to describe how she felt, so she bit her lip and stayed silent.

As the most sociable member of the Si Tu Clan, Si Tu Yu took over from Si Tu Jian Nan and spoke with the Shao Clan, and from them she learned why they had come to the Desert of Lost Souls.

It turned out that half a year ago, a five person team of Shao Clan younger disciples had gone out for training. They had planned to cross the Desert of Lost Souls and return to the Shao Clan, but they disappeared halfway through.

Everyone in that team was an elite younger disciple whom the Shao Clan valued greatly. So the Shao Clan had sent the Three Heroes of the Shao Clan, along with a few clansmen, to the Desert of Lost Souls to search for the missing clansmen.

They had originally arrived at the Desert of Lost Souls seven days later than Yu Zhao’s group. But Yu Zhao and the others had been delayed for a while in the wrong place, so the two sides happened to reach the Triangular Pyramid in the middle of the Desert of Lost Souls at the same time.

Shao Yi Man asked: “Did you meet any of our Shao Clan younger disciples on the way?”

Si Tu Yu shook her head.

Shao Yi Man let out a disappointed sigh.

In fact, they had not held out much hope even before they left, but if they did not come in person, they just could not feel at ease.

Si Tu Yu understood how they felt very well.

If something happened to the younger disciples of the Si Tu Clan, they would make the same choice.

Shao Yi Man focused her gaze on the Triangular Pyramid.

This was their last hope.

Shao Yi Man thought for a moment, then invited Yu Zhao and the others: “Since both of us want to go in, why do we not go together? We can look after each other.”

Shao Yi Man had already examined this Triangular Pyramid in advance.

Its shape looked simple on the surface, but the overlapping stones were laid out in a very orderly way. More importantly, Shao Yi Man had found that her Divine Sense could not pass through it, so she could not see the structure inside at all.

A place full of unknowns always made people feel afraid.

If she could bring along the people of the Si Tu Clan and the three sect disciples, the danger would surely drop by a lot.

Si Tu Yu did not answer right away, but looked at Yu Zhao.

This instinctive reaction secretly shocked Shao Yi Man.

Yu Zhao’s prestige was actually higher than Si Tu Jian Nan’s. She was the real core of the whole group.

Yu Zhao had already planned to go in and take a look, so of course she did not refuse.

She said: “I suggest that I, Ji Han Zhou, Bu Yan, Long Fei Fei, and Senior Situ go in together, while Fellow Daoist Si Tu and the others wait outside.”

Before they understood what was inside, Yu Zhao did not agree with letting everyone go in.

Si Tu Yu frowned slightly.

[Ji Han Zhou and Bu Yan can both go, so why can’t I?]

Ji Han Zhou hugged his sword scabbard and said proudly: “I am a sword cultivator.”

Everyone knew that among all cultivators, sword cultivators were always ranked near the top in fighting power.

Bu Yan smiled slightly and said: “Buddha saves all beings.”

Si Tu Yu instantly remembered the scene from not long ago, when Bu Yan had raised his Wooden Fish Mallet and chased after the exotic beasts living in the desert to send them on their way.

She sucked in a breath.

Si Tu Yu silently turned her gaze away.

[Compared to these two, I really am a bit lacking.]

Although her uncle could protect her, the situation inside was still unclear. She did not want to distract her uncle and drag the team down.

She said: “Alright, I will wait for you outside.”

After hearing Yu Zhao’s plan, the people of the Shao Clan discussed it and also decided to leave their Golden Core Stage clansmen outside, and only let the Three Siblings of the Shao family go in.

Long Fei Fei secretly listened to the Shao Clan’s discussion. A sharp light flashed in her eyes, and she was already planning how to teach them a lesson once they entered the Triangular Pyramid, when Yu Zhao’s cold warning sounded next to her ear.

Yu Zhao said: “Behave yourself inside. Do not cause trouble.”

Long Fei Fei looked at Yu Zhao in shock.

[Is she a worm in my stomach? How can she even guess what I am thinking?]

After they finished discussing, Si Tu Yu and the others stayed where they were, while the eight people led by Yu Zhao walked toward the Triangular Pyramid.

Shao Yi Chuan, the most hot tempered of the Three Siblings of the Shao family, walked a full circle around the Triangular Pyramid and then could not wait to ask: “Strange, why does it not have an entrance?”

Shao Yi Man comforted him: “There has to be an entrance. Just be patient and keep looking.”

Shao Yi Shan nodded in agreement, his gaze never leaving the Triangular Pyramid.

Yu Zhao and the others all turned their eyes to Long Fei Fei.

Long Fei Fei rubbed her arms and asked: “Why are you all looking at me?”

Ji Han Zhou said: “Did you not say your eyes are like a ruler? Now is the perfect time to use your eyes to measure where the entrance is.”

Yu Zhao and the others all agreed.

With Long Fei Fei here, they could save a lot of effort.

The three Shao siblings stared at Long Fei Fei with bright eyes.

Right, how could they have forgotten Long Fei Fei!

They had personally experienced just how strong Long Fei Fei’s skills at sneaking and lockpicking were.

Even the secret Shao Family Treasury that even the Shao family members did not know about had been broken into by Long Fei Fei, and the scariest part was that she had not alarmed anyone at all.

Seeing that Long Fei Fei looked a bit unwilling, Yu Zhao changed her tone and said: “If anyone among us can find the entrance, it has to be you.”

Bu Yan immediately chimed in: “Exactly, exactly.”

Of course it was Bu Yan, whose grasp of the situation was amazing. He instantly cooperated with Yu Zhao and praised Long Fei Fei even more.

As expected, Long Fei Fei’s heart blossomed with joy. She said: “You really do have good eyes. Move aside and let this young miss handle it personally!”

Yu Zhao and the others kindly made way for her. Long Fei Fei went forward, forming hand seals again and again with her right hand while muttering under her breath.

Yu Zhao noticed that when Long Fei Fei formed the hand seals, her eyes also seemed to change in some mysterious way. A flash of golden light flickered across them and then vanished.

After a while, Long Fei Fei stopped making hand seals, pointed to a stone brick on the right, and said: “The entrance is over there.”

Shao Yi Chuan was the closest to that stone. He strode forward, and in less than a breath he reached the spot Long Fei Fei had pointed at.

But he stared at that stone for a long time and still did not see anything strange. Then he turned to glare at Long Fei Fei and said angrily: “Are you making fun of me? This is clearly not an entrance!”

Shao Yi Man and Shao Yi Ming also had doubtful looks in their eyes.

Long Fei Fei snorted in disdain and said: “If you could see it, the ancestral treasure of your Shao Clan would not have been stolen by me!”

She tore open the Shao Clan’s old wound without any mercy. Shao Yi Chuan almost exploded with rage, and in the end it was only because Si Tu Jian Nan stepped out to smooth things over that the fight waiting to break out was calmed down.

Long Fei Fei said: “Let this young miss broaden your horizons. Move aside!”
