Chapter 63 Immortal Lord 063%
.
Xie Qingxun went to Longya Mountain.
Late at night, the sky above Longya Mountain was thick with darkness, and a crescent moon hung in the sky. The faint moonlight was not bright enough and was slowly covered by dark clouds.
Xie Qingxun walked up the stairs step by step. As he took a step, the blood-red barrier spread silently, forming a semicircle that enveloped the entire Longya Mountain.
"Who dares to trespass into Longya Mountain!" Soon, someone discovered Xie Qingxun.
He was dressed in a brocade white robe, exuding a noble and elegant demeanor, his face unobstructed by a mask. Disciples who had seen Xie Qingxun recognized him and exclaimed in surprise, "Is it the Immortal Qingxi?"
"Hurry and tell the mountain master that Immortal Venerable Qingxi is here to visit."
The man turned around, and before he could leave, a very sharp and thin jade fan appeared and flew towards him.
Chi——
Blood splattered everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, the man's head fell from his body and rolled to the feet of his fellow disciples. Some cried out, while others retreated in fear, their eyes wide open as they questioned, "What does this mean, Immortal Venerable?"
Xie Qingxun did not answer. He just walked up the stairs leisurely, letting the jade bone fan circle around him a few times before flying towards the fleeing disciples again.
There are a total of 289 disciples in Longya Mountain. Including Sun Penghai and his wives, concubines, and daughters, there are a total of 296 people.
These two hundred and ninety-six people will die today.
When Xie Qingxun walked to the front hall of Longya Mountain, he saw a river of blood and body parts scattered all over the place outside the hall, with blood trickling down the steps.
Among so many people, no one was a match for Xie Qingxun. Only Sun Penghai, the master of Longya Mountain, could hold on and fight him for a few moves. He risked his life to scratch Xie Qingxun's arm, and Xie Qingxun broke his arm.
"Immortal Qingxi, what are you going to do!" With only one arm left, Sun Penghai retreated with his sword, his steps unsteady as he knelt on the ground.
The Jade Bone Fan was still fighting excitedly, and the disciples' screams were everywhere. Xie Qingxun slowly squatted down, shook his head, and seemed to mutter, "You really disappoint me..."
Sun Penghai gasped for breath as he watched Xie Qingxun approaching.
Xie Qingxun said slowly, "I thought that you, with so many Cuckoo Pearls, would be able to fight against me."
"Why, are you reluctant to use those gullwing pearls, or have you used them all up?"
Dark clouds completely obscured the moon, and Longya Mountain was even darker than before. During their close-up gaze, Sun Penghai sensed a difference in Xie Qingxun's eyes and exclaimed in shock, "How did you know..."
He paused as he saw Xie Qingxun's eyes grow increasingly pale, turning into a dazzling crimson gold. As if witnessing something terrifying, he trembled and retreated in panic, muttering to himself, "No, it's impossible..."
"This can't be true."
"You can't possibly know this. All the Phoenix Clan members are dead..."
Some of the deeply buried sins were revealed, and Sun Penghai asked fiercely: "Who are you?"
Chi——
No one answered his question. The sharp fan sword pierced through his body, splitting him in half. At some point, the wailing in Dragon Tooth Mountain died down. The place was completely silent, with only the snapping of the Jade Bone Fan remaining.
"How tragic." Xie Qingxun looked at the tragic scene in the mountains with cold eyes, stepped on the broken arm and turned to leave. He said words of regret, but with a smile on his lips, he gradually couldn't suppress his laughter.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood. Xie Qingxun stopped at the main hall of Longya Mountain and saw a dragon tooth glowing with light enshrined in the main hall, covered with a layer of transparent light shield.
As all the people in Longya Mountain died, the light shield cracked and disappeared, the dragon tooth shattered from a high place, and countless cuckoo beads broke through the barrier and overflowed from the dragon tooth, scattering around him.
The dark purple light was mournful and dim, like a pair of cuckoo's eyes.
They are crying.
Xie Qingxun's eyelashes trembled as he carefully counted the beads, realizing that the number of gullwing pearls far outnumbered the number of people who had died on Dragon Tooth Mountain. He gently touched one of the gullwing pearls, and the bloody scene of ten thousand years ago unfolded in his mind, his ears filled with the mournful cry of a phoenix.
How ridiculous.
Everyone thought that the treasure of Longya Mountain was the dragon tooth, but who would have thought that it was actually the cuckoo pearl transformed from the corpses of hundreds of cuckoos.
“…”
When Qu Yaoyao woke up again, it was already bright outside.
Opening her eyes, she saw a figure in yellow sitting not far away, contemplating a worn book intently. Noticing Qu Yaoyao had woken up, she looked up at her, a smile still lingering between her brows, her scarlet eyes a beautiful and captivating sight.
"Are you awake?" Huang Ying put the book away unnoticeably and walked towards her.
She sat down on the edge of the couch, and when she saw Qu Yaoyao trying to get up, she helped her up and said with satisfaction, "You can sit up now. It seems that Mo Xuanxiao's medical skills have improved again."
Qu Yaoyao glanced around the room.
After waking up, although her back still hurt, she had recovered her strength. She leaned on the edge of the couch and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Where is Xie Qingxun?"
The person she wants to see most now is actually him.
Huang Ying's eyes flickered, the smile on her face lingering as she said in an ambiguous tone, "Master..."
"He must have something important to do."
Qu Yaoyao felt a little disappointed. Although she wanted to see Xie Qingxun very much, she also knew that he was usually very busy and could not always be by her side. After adjusting her mood, she asked, "What book were you reading just now?"
Huang Ying narrowed her eyes, her smile fading slightly. She looked out the window and said leisurely, "How could I be reading a book?"
"You must be dazzled."
Qu Yaoyao frowned. She had been whipped a few times, not because her eyes were damaged, so how could she be dazzled? Just as she was about to make a few more excuses, a familiar voice came from outside the door. Di Shu pushed open the door and stopped at the entrance of the inner room. The white curtain was quickly opened by a hand.
"Miss!" Yunzhi ran in with red eyes.
She had longed to enter the Immortal Ruins to serve her mistress, but when her wish came true, she learned that she had been severely punished. In her haste, she didn't even bother to look at the ground, and threw herself down in front of the bed, saying, "I've missed you so much."
"I heard that you were injured. Is the injury serious? Does the wound still hurt? Let me take a look..."
Seeing the master and servant reunited, Huang Ying stood up with great tact, stretched, and came out of the inner room. Seeing Di Shu still standing at the inner room door, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Let's go."
Di Shu followed him out, leaving the two of them some time alone.
.
Yunzhi was brought into the Immortal Ruins by Xie Qingxun's order.
Qu Yaoyao had begged him many times before, but Xie Qingxun refused to let Yunzhi in for various reasons. Unexpectedly, when she was injured, Xie Qingxun took the initiative to send someone to her and asked her to take care of Qu Yaoyao personally.
With Yunzhi, Qu Yaoyao finally had someone to talk to, and her mood improved a lot. However, there was one bad thing: Xie Qingxun had rarely appeared recently. He seemed very busy, and his aura was getting colder and gloomier day by day, which made Qu Yaoyao feel uneasy.
On this day of the full moon, Xie Qingxun finally appeared in front of her again.
He held Qu Yaoyao in his arms, held her chin and kissed her wantonly, his movements were a little rough. Qu Yaoyao was a little hurt by him, and she grabbed his right arm to ask him to be gentler, but she felt his movements tremble.
"Are you injured?" Qu Yaoyao noticed something was wrong.
She tugged at Xie Qingxun's sleeve to check, but Xie Qingxun raised his hand to hold it down, "It's okay, just a minor injury."
Qu Yaoyao couldn't resist him. She puffed her cheeks and looked at him and asked, "How did you get hurt?"
In other words, who can hurt him, the Immortal Master Qingxi?
Xie Qingxun didn't answer. He raised his hand to lift the hair of the girl in his arms and casually changed the subject, "Does the wound still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt much anymore." Qu Yaoyao was successfully distracted by him, and wanted to take this opportunity to win Mo Xuanxiao's favor. "Mo Xuanxiao has been bringing me medicine every day these days. His medical skills are really amazing. I applied the medicine he sent me for a few days, and the wound scabsed over very quickly."
"Also, his recent competition..."
Xie Qingxun completely ignored her next words and interrupted her again, asking, "Qu Yushu learned that you were injured and missed you very much."
"Do you want to meet him?"
Qu Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, "Is it okay?"
Xie Qingxun gently wiped the corner of her lips and said, "Whether it is possible or not depends on your performance."
Qu Yaoyao understood his hidden meaning this time and immediately put her arms around his neck and kissed him. Xie Qingxun tilted his head and pressed her head back into the crook of his neck. A purple light flashed in his palm and quickly disappeared...
The next day, Yunzhi came with a smile to tell Qu Yaoyao that Qu Yushu had arrived.
Qu Yaoyao had been lying on the couch for several days, and as her wounds scabbed over, she was allowed to move around a little. Seeing the bright sunlight outside, she asked Qu Yushu to meet her at the lakeside pavilion and sent someone to prepare some fruits and snacks.
Qu Yushu has also signed up for this Fairy Sword Conference and has not lost a single game so far.
When he was led into the lake pavilion by Gu Tianci, Qu Yaoyao was lying on the railing feeding the fish. After not seeing her for many days, she looked thinner than before, but her eyes were as bright and innocent as before, and she seemed to be living well in Wangxu.
"Brother!" Seeing Qu Yushu, Qu Yaoyao's eyelashes curved and a smile appeared on her face. She raised her hand and waved to him.
The bracelet on her wrist jingled, and Qu Yushu saw the colorful stone bracelet on her left wrist at a glance, and his eyes dimmed a little.
"You actually wore it." He walked to Qu Yaoyao and smiled slightly, as if jokingly saying, "This bracelet doesn't seem to suit you very well."
"How could that be?" Qu Yaoyao touched her left wrist lovingly. "I really like this gift from my brother. It's so beautiful."
Qu Yushu's smile was a little forced and he didn't look very happy.
He asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"It's much better now."
Seeing that she could run and jump, Qu Yushu felt relieved and said, "Mother misses you very much. She wants you to come back to the sect more often when you are free."
Qu Yaoyao nodded perfunctorily. She and Qu Yingsi had no feelings for each other, and she was also deeply afraid of her mother, always feeling that there was something strange about her. Qu Yingsi seemed to know that Qu Yaoyao had verbally agreed but would not return, so she specifically asked Qu Yushu to bring her a letter.
"Mom said this is your little secret and it's not convenient for me to convey it."
Qu Yaoyao opened the letter, which was filled with three pages. The first page was mostly nonsense, and the second page focused on her and Xie Qingxun. In the end, Qu Yingsi was still concerned about whether the two of them had slept in the same room and whether Xie Qingxun had slept in front of her, and asked her to reply immediately.
"Are we going back now?" Qu Yaoyao frowned more and more as she looked at him.
Qu Yushu didn't care about the content of the letter at all. She just nodded and smiled helplessly, "Mother was afraid that you wouldn't reply after reading it, so she asked me to bring your reply back later."
"Okay then." Qu Yaoyao knew that Qu Yingsi was not nice to Qu Yushu and didn't want to make things difficult for him.
Asking Yunzhi to bring the brush, ink, paper and inkstone, Qu Yaoyao held the brush for a while but couldn't write anything. Qu Yushu propped up his chin with his hand and seemed to remind him casually: "Yaoyao, don't you miss your mother?"
Qu Yaoyao had a flash of inspiration and copied the letter Qu Yingsi wrote to her and wrote five lines in a row, all of which expressed her longing for Qu Yingsi.
Seeing Qu Yaoyao stop writing again, Qu Yushu suddenly said with concern: "Brother is not here. Yaoyao must listen to the Immortal Venerable in Wangxu. She must also take good care of herself and not get hurt all the time and make us worry."
So Qu Yaoyao successfully filled a page of paper.
There was no need for Qu Yushu to remind her afterwards. Qu Yaoyao replied with the information that Qu Yingsi wanted to know most. She said in the letter that they had slept together, but when it came to the question of whether Xie Qingxun slept with her or not, she paused and chose to lie, not wanting to reveal Xie Qingxun's private affairs.
After the reply was written, Qu Yushu personally collected it and put it back into his sleeve. The two chatted for a while, and Qu Yushu brought up the matter of the Ten-Step Vanilla Garden. He said thankfully, "It's a good thing you pushed the matter of the garden out early, otherwise you would have been implicated in this mess."
Qu Yaoyao was puzzled. "What do you mean, brother? Is there something wrong with the Ten-Step Herb Garden again?"
"Don't you know?" Qu Yushu was very surprised and explained, "Something big has happened in the Ten-Step Vanilla Garden these days, and it involves Longya Mountain."
Two days after Qu Yaoyao handed over the management rights of the Ten-Step Vanilla Garden, someone discovered that the entire Longya Mountain family had been wiped out.
Qu Yushu couldn't help but shake his head when talking about this. "Dragon Tooth Mountain never allows outsiders to enter, so few cultivators go there on weekdays. If the stench from the mountain hadn't spread and attracted a flock of blood crows, no one would have discovered it."
Qu Yaoyao had been recuperating in her palace these days, and no one had spoken to her about this. Hearing this now, she felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't help but wonder, "There are nearly three hundred people in Dragon Tooth Mountain. Who on earth had the formidable power to massacre an entire sect in one night?"
Qu Yushu looked at Qu Yaoyao and said, "The initial assessment is that it was done by the demons. There is no other clue."
"Is there not a single survivor?"
"No." Qu Yushu said, "When a cultivator broke in, there were corpses everywhere and the stench was overwhelming. Not a single body was intact, and some had been gnawed by blood crows, leaving them unrecognizable."
Qu Yaoyao hissed, unable to bear it any longer. "This is truly too cruel."
Just hearing Qu Yushu's description, she felt numb all over and nauseous. It was hard for her to imagine what a hellish scene Longya Mountain was like now.
She wanted to change the subject, "Brother, did your recent competition go well? I heard from Yunzhi that you are really good."
Qu Yushu changed the subject as she did, and said with a smile, "It was indeed going smoothly before, but I'm afraid it won't be smooth in the future."
"How do you say that?"
Qu Yaoyao thought he was troubled, but she didn't realize she had brought the conversation back to the Ten-Step Herb Garden. She sighed and said, "Another strange phenomenon occurred in the Ten-Step Herb Garden last night. A new purple spring appeared in each of the four gardens: the east, south, west, and north. Drinking it can purify the body's turbid qi and aid in cultivation."
The purple spring water was formed by the crushed cuckoo pearl. The pearl had already solidified once, and the cuckoo water could not solidify again. It could only wait for the water pool to dry up and disappear automatically.
Nowadays, no cultivators stay in the rooms in the Ten-Step Herb Garden. They all gather around the purple water to meditate and practice. Some of those who took the initiative to drink a lot of purple water have significantly improved their cultivation. Many people are jealous and fight with each other. Some cultivators are scrambling to move back into the garden.
"How could this happen..." Qu Yaoyao was stunned.
She originally thought that with her withdrawal from the management of the Ten-Step Herb Garden, the Ten-Step Herb Garden would return to normal.
"How can this be fair? How can the Fairy Sword Conference continue?"
Qu Yushu smiled bitterly, "What do you mean by fair? After all, only a few can use Purple Water to improve their cultivation, and it's not some kind of evil technique. The Immortal Sword Conference is all about strength. Those who can use it to improve their cultivation and win, while others also use it to improve their cultivation but lose, isn't that fair?"
"But……"
"There's nothing to worry about." Qu Yushu said, "The Immortal Sword Conference is only held once every sixty years. Many people want to use this opportunity to stand out and go to the secret realm to practice. Even if the main sect wants to suspend the competition, the other sects will not agree."
At this time, in Chengyu Hall.
Xie Qingxun was leaning on the golden chair and dozing off. He suddenly opened his eyes as if he sensed something.
"Found it..." His dark pupils were stained with red gold. Xie Qingxun followed the scent and sneaked into the Ten-Step Herb Garden. He entered a room in the North Garden and locked onto a cultivator wearing a light gold robe.
The door was tightly shut, and the man paced anxiously, listening to the commotion outside. As if making a decisive decision, he finally pulled a green bead from his body and shattered it into powder with a single blow, scattering it all over the room.
"This young master wants to make a wish."
The man closed his eyes and said, "I want those purple springs in the garden to disappear immediately!"
Swish——
A cyan light spread out of the house. The man was about to open the door and chase out when he heard someone anxiously ask, "Why did Ziquan suddenly disappear?"
"The one from Dongyuan is gone too..."
It actually worked!
His face lit up with joy, and he immediately pulled out another bead from his body. Thinking of his wish, he shattered it with his palm, "I want to win the championship of the Immortal Sword Conference, and make all those who take the Purple Spring lose to my sword. And..."
Before he finished making his wish, he suddenly heard someone chuckle.
The low, cold laughter was like a ghost. He looked around but didn't see anyone. He couldn't help but ask in fear, "Who is it?"
"Who is trying to scare me, young master? Get out now."
The green light in the room gathered and gradually condensed into the shape of a sword. The cold voice was very soft, "I am also here to make a wish."
"My wish is—"
"I want you to die without a complete body, and your entire family to be destroyed."
The author has something to say: Xiao Xie: If I don’t show you my skills, you will really think that I only know how to fall in love.
