A highly respected monk at the Buddhist temple told her that throwing the body into the four corners of the world and burying the bones under a locust tree was a way to curse the person to be forever banished from the three realms, unable to reincarnate, and to have their soul scattered.
She didn't know if it was true, or if there really were three realms and reincarnation in the world.
But for that sliver of possibility, that sliver of hope, she was willing to believe.
To break the curse, she tied a red string to her hand bones and offered prayers for ten thousand days.
"So many years have passed, so long that I can hardly remember them."
"Although I can't remember the details, I do remember every inch of the fracture, every crack, and the line of information I found out: dismembered into eight pieces and dumped across the world."
"Practice makes perfect. This is such a familiar way of dying. Is this you?"
Are you still alive?
"It's good that you're alive..."
Cheng Xianyi's fingers were stained with bright red blood.
She closed her eyes, and an unstoppable aura rose around her. Her lips curled up slightly, like a lost traveler in a vast white fog who had found her goal.
She placed A-Cai's severed arm back into the wooden box, closed the lid, opened her eyes, and a dark light flashed across her pupils: "Since you're still alive, let me personally put an end to this."
"Ziyan, from this moment on, order all members of Cheng Gui Pavilion to temporarily retreat to the city and await further instructions."
Ziyan: "???"
"Master, you...you're not going to do anything about it?" Ziyan opened her eyes slightly in surprise: "The imposters are riding on your heads, and they even tried to pin the blame on Cheng Gui Pavilion."
"Shouldn't we fight back?"
"Just do it! Kill those imposters!"
Ziyan couldn't understand why her master, who cared most about Young Master Zhou's opinion, would suddenly order everyone to hold back.
Should we just let the other party sow discord and let Young Master Zhou hold a grudge against Cheng Gui Pavilion?
Ziyan couldn't understand why Cheng Xianyi would do this. Was there something more important than Young Master Zhou's opinion on Cheng Gui Pavilion?
some.
That's called hatred!
Hatred that spans several lifetimes!
Cheng Xianyi used a silk scarf to wipe the blood off her fingertips.
His voice carried an ethereal quality that was hard to fathom: "It's not that we don't care, but if the other side shoots an arrow, no matter how we catch it, it will still graze our skin."
"The best approach is to cleverly avoid the situation, not respond, and not show yourself."
"Cheng Gui Ge has developed too quickly and lacks sufficient foundation. I'm afraid it's no match for them."
Zi Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously retorted, "How could that be? Is there any power in Yan Kingdom that is more powerful than Cheng Gui Pavilion...? No way, moreover, Young Master Zhou also has a weapon in his hand, what do we have to fear?"
Cheng Xianyi turned her head and uttered a question that stunned Ziyan: "What about outside of Yan Kingdom?"
"The world is vast, and there is no shortage of ambitious people. This weapon has the power to destroy the world and the potential to unify the Central Plains. The moment it becomes known to all, who wouldn't want to get a share of the pie?"
“Ah Cheng won’t be easily swayed by them.”
"He is better than you think, I believe in him."
"Moreover, as long as I am the master of Cheng Gui Pavilion, there will never be a day when we fight each other! This scheme to sow discord was doomed to fail from the very beginning."
The hidden force has existed for at least five hundred years, from the 13th year of the Ning Dynasty to the present.
The power that could stand in the Central Plains for nearly five hundred years was immense and terrifying. Dynasties and emperors changed one after another, but the opponent's position remained unshakable!
Cheng Xianyi searched secretly for so many years, but couldn't find a single clue.
However, less than a month after the weapon appeared, that seemingly insurmountable force suddenly sprang into action and launched a full-scale attack!
