Chapter 15: The Three Heroes of Golden Scale Become a Troublemaker in Just a Moment...
A man in a crimson robe with sleeves stood on the steps.
The long sword was leaning on the ground, and bright red blood slowly flowed down the slender sword body.
At his feet lay the corpses of more than a dozen disciples and servants.
——Ji Lingche and Liu Yetao saw this scene as soon as they passed by.
There was another person standing beside him, wearing a dark robe, leaning against the wall. Although his face was handsome, he had a bit of evil in him. His fox eyes were narrowed with sleepiness, revealing a shrewd look. He said with a teasing smile: "Brother Pei, look at you, you are too reckless——"
"It's not a big deal, there's no need to kill anyone. Besides, why bother getting yourself into trouble right under the nose of the Lord Chief?"
As he was speaking, he raised his fox eyes and glanced at Ji Lingche and Liu Yetao. He first looked Ji Lingche up and down, then shifted his gaze to Liu Yetao and imitated Liu Yetao's honey-dipped tone, saying sweetly, "Hey, little peach, you're here?"
Liu Yetao smiled and said, "Brother Linghu, Master Yin, what are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Pei turned around and glanced at Ji Lingche and the other man. This man's skin was as pale as paper, with dark circles under his eyes. He exuded an extremely tyrannical aura, as if he had been dead for eight hundred years and had just crawled out of a grave. He used to be a handsome man, but at this moment, he had no beauty at all.
Ji Lingche narrowed his eyes and looked at the man, thinking that he hadn't seen him for decades, and this man was even more violent. He was obviously a cultivator, but he was surrounded by evil spirits, even more terrifying than evil cultivators like poison cultivators and ghost cultivators.
Just after seeing his son beating someone in the street, he immediately encountered his father killing people with a sword. What a great Yunzhong Yin family!
Yin Pei stood on the steps, looking down at Liuye Tao condescendingly. After a long time, he snorted contemptuously from his nose, obviously looking down on this man.
Liuyetao's tone was sweet and harmless, but her words contained a hidden meaning: "Master Yin, I just heard from afar, it seems like you lost something, and it made you angry?"
Liu Yetao walked up the stairs step by step, laughing as she walked, "I think both Patriarch Yin and Brother Linghu know our First Master's temper very well. Brother Yin is confused, so why is Brother Linghu playing along with him?"
Yin Pei frowned and was about to say something when Linghu Yan held up his folding fan, blocking the way between them. He smiled and said, "We are close friends and relatives, we are all in the same boat. Why should we be so confrontational?"
Liu Yetao smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else. I'm just curious. The Immortal Alliance hasn't offered sacrifices for a long time. I wonder where the 'Xuan Nu' you two just mentioned came from?"
Yin Pei's voice was as if tempered by poison, hoarse and low, making people shudder: "I kidnapped you by force. Are you satisfied with what I said?"
Liu Yetao's tone was still gentle: "Why is Patriarch Yin angry with me? If this matter gets out and reaches the First Lord, will you say the same thing?"
Yin Pei sneered, looking at Liu Yetao and whispering word by word, "Say what I mean. He's just having a seizure and he's trying to take the shortcut and take our entire Immortal Alliance with him. I won't agree to that."
——Ji Lingche narrowed his eyes and looked at them coldly.
What the hell is this Xuannv? These parasites are actually doing this?
Seeing that the demons were showing signs of revival, these noble family leaders were afraid that it would damage their own vitality, so they wanted to offer sacrifices to the demon lord of the Abyss of Eternal Ashes, attempting to reconcile with the demons without any soldiers and to keep the peace.
And the sacrifice they were talking about was just a mortal without any magic!
Many years ago, when Ran Lou was not yet the demon lord, a very powerful young female family head managed to subdue the great demon that was wreaking havoc on the world.
The female cultivator vowed to eliminate this evil, so she burned him with the Ninefold True Fire for three whole months, letting him wail and scream until the wailing stopped and the flames went out.
But who knew that the big demon was just pretending to be dead, and did not make a sound even when it was burned by the fire and cut by the knife. In the end, he deceived the female cultivator and saved his life, and let him escape.
From then on, the monster's face was completely destroyed, his body was covered with festering wounds, and he could no longer maintain his human form. From then on, he was wrapped in black cloth, and only one eye was left to see.
But who would have thought that the demon escaped from death and somehow opened the demon's lair that had been sealed for hundreds of years.
The Abyss of Never Ashes was reopened, and demons poured out in an instant. The path of immortality was in danger, and the world was almost reduced to a graveyard.
This great demon transformed himself into a demon lord, who was extremely tyrannical. He used the same method against the demon and kidnapped the female head of the family. He tortured her several times, burned her alive, and even cast a curse in the name of the demon lord - cursing that no one in the female cultivator's family would be able to form a pill.
Who would have thought that the curse would actually come true, and that the female cultivator's family would actually decline rapidly, to the point where none of the younger generation could form an elixir!
However, the major families and sects were at odds with each other, and no one wanted to suffer losses in this battle between demons. They blamed each other, and finally put the blame on the cursed female cultivators, pouring all the dirty water on them!
The immortals said that the demon master was cunning and difficult to deal with. How could a female cultivator subdue him? He must have used dishonorable means!
This woman brought disaster upon herself, causing the world of cultivation to suffer such a disaster!
Overnight, the female head of the family went from being a hero to a scourge hated by everyone. In order to appease the anger of the demon lord, the Immortal Alliance threw the descendants of the female cultivator family into the Abyss of No Ashes as sacrifices.
Perhaps because they knew they were in the wrong, the Immortal Alliance called the women of this family "Xuannv". They seemed to be worshipping them respectfully, but in fact they were imprisoned in the Immortal Alliance. If there was any disturbance from the demons, they would throw a few of them down.
However, although this method was effective, it was not a long-term solution. Later, due to verbal and written criticism, this shameful method was abolished by the Immortal Alliance, the title of Xuannv was also abolished long ago, and the remaining bloodline fled everywhere, and its whereabouts are difficult to find.
Unexpectedly, Yin Pei had somehow found the descendant's hiding place and abducted him without the knowledge of the Immortal Alliance. He even wanted to secretly sacrifice him to appease the demon's wrath and save himself.
Liu Yetao's expression remained calm, and she smiled calmly, "My two brothers, kidnapping and raping a common woman is a cardinal sin of the Immortal Alliance, and now someone has escaped. Aren't you really afraid of the endless calamity that will follow?"
Linghu Yan lazily placed his arm on Liuyetao's shoulder, enjoying the fun. "Little Taozi, now that things have come to this, what do you think we should do?"
Liuyetao smiled, her tone was sweet enough to make people sick, but her words were chilling: "If the head of the Yin family insists on making a sacrifice, he will have to kill another person——"
Liu Yetao pointed at Ji Lingche fiercely and said with a sweet smile, "This little girl is the beloved disciple of the First Master..."
Ji Lingche secretly thought that something was wrong.
How could Yin Pei not understand the implication of his words? The little girl heard everything that had just happened clearly. If it was not dealt with, she turned around and said that not only would the sacrifice be impossible, but given Qu Wuji's temper, there would be endless troubles.
Ji Lingche didn't expect that Liu Yetao would suddenly add fuel to the fire. When Yin Pei heard this, the veins in his hand holding the sword actually bulged.
She laughed and said, "Uncle Liu, we were holding hands just now, why are you not with me now?"
You are such a good Liuyetao, you are killing someone with a borrowed knife. You are so evil, you really deserve to die.
These noble families fought each other secretly, always thinking about how to kill each other.
The crime of abducting a woman could be either light or heavy, but if Yin Pei killed Hua Wanwan with a sword, he would surely bring disaster upon himself.
Ji Lingche looked at him coldly and took a step back. The Yunzhong Yin family was a family of psychopaths. They might actually do something as stupid as killing the Immortal Venerable's first disciple.
Ji Lingche said, "Uncle Yin, don't let anyone provoke you!"
Yin Pei ignored him, suddenly raised his sword, and slashed at Ji Lingche fiercely.
As a result, the sword wind did not arrive, and the tip of the sword clanged to the ground!
Yin Pei suddenly burst into crazy laughter. He kicked Liu Yetao and said, "Damn it, do you really think I'm stupid?!"
"Don't you just want to instigate me to hurt his apprentice and offend him?"
Liu Yetao's figure was as fast as lightning. He leaped up and landed lightly at the bottom of the stairs. He tilted his head and said with a smile, "It turns out that Master Yin's mind is as clear as a mirror. Aren't you quite afraid of the First Master?"
Yin Pei narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Yetao, his eyes burning with anger that was almost overflowing.
Liu Yetao continued with a smile, "Our Lord the First hates sacrifices the most, so I just advised Brother Yin to let the girl go home as soon as possible and not to go against the Immortal Alliance, so as to avoid getting into trouble."
These two sentences were so brilliant that not only did they completely exonerate him of the act of instigating and fanning the flames, but he also stood on the side of the Immortal Alliance with great righteousness.
Yin Pei's sword began to hum, condensing the owner's anger, which would not stop until blood was drawn.
Linghu Yan was a man of deep thoughts, a man who knew how to protect himself. He clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I'll go ahead and look for the lost girl for you two. What happens next will be decided by the First Master."
That old fox was really cunning and slipped away very quickly. Ji Lingche wanted to say, "Take me with you, Master Linghu!", but before she could say anything, the man had disappeared.
Liu Yetao tilted her head, looking at Yin Pei's sword, as if to deliberately provoke him, and said with a smile: "By the way, Master Yin, your sister asked me to bring you a message."
Yin Pei laughed dryly, but there was no smile in his voice: "'Your sister'?!"
"Liuyetao, when did I ever have a sister?! Are you referring to the bastard born to that slave girl?"
The person referred to here is none other than Cha Yinsu, the chief governor of Taihua Yuxu and Zheng Hongqiao's master.
Although Yin Su came from a prominent family, she was born to a maid of the Yin family. She suffered humiliation when she was young, especially from her half-brother, who beat and scolded her. Later, she became a disciple of Taihua Yuxu. She was very talented and became the leader of the immortals. She gradually came to prominence and surpassed Yin Pei in every aspect!
Yin Pei had always looked down on her, and when he saw her gain power, he became even more jealous and resentful. Whenever he heard the name Yin Su mentioned, he would go crazy. He refused to admit that she was his sister and insulted her many times.
Liu Yetao asked, "Master Yin, won't you bring shame to your father by saying this?"
He provoked Yin Pei with several words, which completely angered him. He sneered, "Only a bastard like you would be willing to be Yin Su's dog!"
Before Yin Pei finished speaking, the red long sword suddenly slashed towards Liuye Tao -
Ji Lingche stood not far away and retreated repeatedly. The violent sword wind was still coming towards him, causing harm to innocent people. Ji Lingche thought to himself that he had been really unlucky recently and was extremely unlucky.
Suddenly, a burst of sharp spiritual power counteracted the violent sword wind. It seemed soft, but it actually destroyed Yin Pei's domineering sword light directly, and then most of it counterattacked and hit Yin Pei's chest directly!
Yin Pei took a few steps back and vomited blood.
When he looked up, he saw a man standing behind Hua Wanwan, with his hands behind his back and a cold expression.
But the man did not draw his sword, but just casually cast a spell.
Yin Pei suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
Ji Lingche suddenly felt a hard chest against her back. The person behind her gently embraced her and asked in a cold voice, "Are you okay?"
She turned around and saw a pair of cold eyes burning with subtle emotions.
......
Tan Xuening thought, why is life so difficult?!
Her concealment spell was shattered, and she fell heavily to the ground. She told herself to stay calm, stay calm...
My sister said that as long as you are alive, there is still a chance.
But her hands still trembled uncontrollably.
In front of me stood a man in a black robe.
The man snapped the folding fan in his hand shut and smiled cunningly, like a fox that had not yet been savagely controlled, staring at its prey.
The girl was dressed in coarse cloth, and her fingers had become rough from long-term laundry work and were accustomed to wind and rain. Although her face was pretty, it was covered with spots, making her no different from a country woman. However, her eyes were bright and inexplicably carried some of the legacy of her former immortal family.
"Who is it?" Fox Eyes suddenly asked.
"What...what?" Xue Ning was stunned.
"Who let you go?" Linghu Yan said patiently, "Who used the concealment technique to hide you?"
Xue Ning pursed her lips into a line and did not answer.
Linghu Yan took a few steps forward carelessly, but with a strong sense of oppression. Xue Ning felt her heart tremble with every step he took.
She kept shaking, but still said nothing.
His folding fan tapped the palm of his hand gently, making a rhythmic sound. He smiled and said, "Since you won't tell me, how about letting me guess?"
"I guess the one who saved you was a very beautiful female cultivator, but she was in very poor health and kept coughing. Is that right or wrong?"
Xue Ning was startled, her breathing quickening. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "That's not even remotely relevant!"
Fox Eyes squatted down with a smile, looked directly into the girl's eyes, and said slowly: "Little girl, you are a terrible liar."
Xue Ning suppressed her emotions: "What...are you going to do?!"
Suddenly, two talismans appeared in the air.
"Pick one." Fox Eyes said with a smile.
"One is shrinking the earth by a thousand miles, the other is being shattered to pieces."
"If you choose right, you'll escape to heaven. If you make a wrong choice, you'll die. Little girl, don't say I didn't give you a chance."
Xue Ning lay on the ground, looking at the two talismans in front of her. One was emitting a faint blue light, and the other was glowing red. She hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand towards the talisman with the blue light, then turned to the red one, and finally stopped when she just touched it.
She raised her head: "Why don't you take me back?"
Fox Eyes squatted down with a smile and looked directly into the girl's eyes: "The Abyss of Embers is not a good place. I helped you escape, you should thank me."
Xue Ning raised her eyes and looked directly at the man opposite her, saying word by word, "I won't choose either one."
"If I'm not mistaken, these two are killing curses, right?"
