murder
"Moon, I know you yearn for freedom. This matter is too abrupt for you, but simply running away won't solve the problem. The position of sect leader is not entirely a shackle; it may also be a starting point for you to get to know this martial world."
I know this matter shouldn't be rushed; don't worry, I've already advised the sect leader, and he promised to tell you what to do gradually. My senior sister does secretly hope you'll return, but if you still wish to leave, I will absolutely not stop you.
Ji Yinglei's words always managed to awaken Jiang Yingyue at just the right moment. Looking at the letter in her hand, she felt that her senior sister's words were all hoping that she would accept the result. But Jiang Yingyue only cared about one thing: that she should not have taken this position at all.
It seems that Ji Yinglei's letter won't work this time either. Jiang Yingyue silently apologized to her in her heart, because only by completely leaving would Jiang Yuan reconsider the choice of sect leader. She looked at the carrier pigeon waiting not far away: "Let's go, there's no reply."
Watching the pigeons take flight toward the mountain she remembered, Jiang Yingyue couldn't help but sigh. After only half a day's walk, Qiyun Mountain had become so small that it was hard to believe there were still so many people on it.
"boom!"
A piercing clap of thunder rang out, but the sky was clear and blue. Jiang Yingyue immediately looked up at the mountaintop, her heart leaping into her throat.
"The selection process must be restarting," Jiang Yingyue comforted herself. However, after a clap of thunder, all was quiet except for the startled birds. Just then, the letter in Jiang Yingyue's hand suddenly burst into flames and burned to ashes in an instant.
A very strong premonition was reminding her:
Hurry back!
......
This road is too far.
She hadn't felt this way when she left, but the journey back felt like it took days. Jiang Yingyue dared not stop; her heart was filled with fear. She desperately needed to go back, at least to see what had happened, at least to make sure nothing truly bad had occurred.
Qiyun Town, which I had only left not long ago, is now deathly silent. The merchants and children playing on the street are all staying indoors.
She looked at Qiyun Mountain, a mountain that was usually full of life, but now, just standing at its foot, she could feel a chilling atmosphere.
"Heroine!" A voice came from behind. It was a townsman, trembling and cowering behind a large tree, seemingly terrified. "Don't go up the mountain at this time, the Heavenly...the Heavenly Alliance...they..."
Jiang Yingyue's mind went blank for a moment, and her body acted before her brain could react. By the time she came to her senses, she was already inside the Bright Moon Sect.
Within the Sea of Corpses of the Bright Moon Sect.
A strong stench of blood filled the nostrils and throat; as far as the eye could see, there was only crimson. Countless disciples' corpses, their faces unrecognizable, lay silently piled on the ground, along with the entire vast sect, reduced to corpses.
Jiang Yingyue felt rooted to the spot. With each breath, her heart ached, and she continued forward, utterly lost and disoriented. Her mind was blank; faced with this scene, she couldn't even recall what this place had originally looked like.
The corpses stretched from the main gate all the way to the main hall. Standing outside the hall, Jiang Yingyue felt as if her heartbeat had stopped at that moment.
Sect Master Jiang Yuan, her own father, sat on his throne, his eyes gouged out and his heart ripped out. In his hand lay not a weapon, but a farewell letter left by Jiang Yingyue, in which she could still see her own seal, not yet completely stained red.
