Chapter 65 Immortal Lord 065%
Two people died in the vanilla garden this time.
They are Puyang Yuanzheng, the young master of Amaterasu Temple who lives in the North Garden, and Ge Yingxin, a female disciple of Lingxin Sect who lives in the South Garden.
Both of them died in the house, their bodies were horrible and torn into pieces. The difference was that they died at different times. Ge Yingxin was killed several hours after Puyang Yuanzheng's death. The same thing was that there were blood words left in their rooms.
The words engraved on Puyang Yuanzheng's stumped arm read: [Qingluan's blood debt will lead to the annihilation of the entire family.]
The words engraved on Ge Yingxin's face were: [Phoenix Corpse Flower, life for life.]
Given the previous lesson from Longya Mountain, and considering the inscriptions on the two bodies, the sect first contacted Amaterasu Temple and Lingxin Sect, but received no response. The Wanmen Xianzong, unable to reach both sects within a single day, had a bad feeling and asked the nearest small sect to inquire about the situation. The news they received was devastating, shocking the entire cultivation world.
——Amaterasu-ji Temple and the Reishin sect were destroyed.
When one of the teams of cultivators arrived at Amaterasu Temple, it was littered with corpses and broken bones, blood had stained the clean ground, and the piles of corpses had formed a mountain, which made people feel nauseous and unable to move forward.
The people of the Lingxin Sect died the most miserably.
This sect is mostly composed of women, who specialize in the art of transformation. Although there are only sixty-eight people in the sect, each of them has mastered the art of illusion to perfection and has a place in the world of immortal cultivation. They rarely make friends with outsiders and are very low-key.
It was this small, low-key sect, yet after their deaths, all the members were hanged from trees. They were the only one of the three sects to have their bodies intact, their flowing skirts oozing blood. Their skin was dry and their faces were devoid of any fear, each holding a small yellow flower in their mouths. Thin strings hung from their necks, slowly spinning them.
It is said that some timid cultivators vomited uncontrollably, became dazed, and trembled with fear after witnessing the brutal scenes of these two sects.
After this matter was reported back to the Wanmen Immortal Sect, Sect Leader Huang immediately invited all the immortal sects to gather at the main sect for a meeting. Xie Qingxun and Pei Ziyi were also invited.
"What on earth are those demons planning to do?" One irritable individual had been cursing since entering the arena. His eyes were red with rage at the tragic death of his fellow disciple. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I will tear those evil beasts into pieces."
Some cautious people also raised questions, "Who can prove that these things were done by the demon world? They have been like rats crossing the street for years. How could they have such terrifying power to wipe out a large sect overnight? Even if they had this ability, how could they do it so quietly without us noticing?"
This question successfully silenced everyone. Seeing that no one spoke again, Xie Qingxun rested his hand on his forehead and casually reminded them, "Have you all forgotten... those bloody words?"
——The sea of cuckoo corpses, blood debt must be paid with life.
——Qingluan’s blood debt will be wiped out with the whole family.
——The phoenix corpse flower, life in exchange for life.
These three lines of blood characters correspond to the ancient Phoenix clan's 鸑鷟, Qingluan, and Xuanwu respectively, and the fuse that caused these three bloody incidents was Honghu.
"This is clearly the Phoenix Clan's revenge against us!"
Suddenly, Xiao Gaoyuan, the head of Zhuzhen Tower, turned pale and shouted, "They've come back for revenge!"
Xie Qingxun's long eyelashes trembled, and he slowly fixed his gaze on him.
The others also turned their gazes to him. Qu Yingsi smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, what nonsense are you talking about? The ancient Phoenix Clan disappeared ten thousand years ago. If they were to reappear, given their temperament, they would surely unleash a bloodbath and devastate countless lives. Why bother with all this trouble?"
"Besides," Qu Yingsi raised her beautiful eyes and gently lifted a strand of her hair. "Everyone knows exactly how the Phoenix Clan was destroyed. It's clearly recorded in the ancient history books. How can we talk about revenge?"
"Yeah." Many people echoed, "Master Xiao, you must be so angry that you're confused."
Xiao Gaoyuan smiled awkwardly, his expression not improving despite everyone's persuasion. He stood up and said, "I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back first."
“…”
Wangxu, on the long corridor.
Qu Yaoyao had already listened to Mo Xuanxiao's account of the bloody incidents at Amaterasu Temple and Lingxin Sect. She tilted her head back until her neck was sore. Seeing that Mo Xuanxiao was still squatting on the ground, she asked him to stand up and step back. She then used her spiritual power to propel herself up and leap onto the corridor.
Because the movement was too large, the injury on her back was involved and she gasped in pain. Mo Xuanxiao supported her lightly and said, "Be careful."
Qu Yaoyao pulled him to sit on the long railing and touched the goose bumps on her body. She couldn't help but ask, "Who is so cruel that they could slaughter three major sects in a row?"
"Do you also think it was the work of the demon world?"
Mo Xuanxiao shook his head. "Although most people now say it was done by the demons, I don't think it's that simple. If it was really the demons who slaughtered the sect, why would they use the name of revenge for the Phoenix Clan and choose Longya Mountain, Amaterasu Temple, and Lingxin Sect?"
Qu Yaoyao thought his words made sense. "Could it be that the Phoenix Clan is really out for revenge?"
"How is that possible?" Mo Xuanxiao smiled and said, "If the Ancient Phoenix Clan really still exists, they shouldn't have come to trouble the Immortal Sect for revenge."
"What do you mean?"
Mo Xuanxiao glanced around and lowered his voice, "I've looked up ancient history, and the Phoenix Clan's demise was caused by just one person."
"Who is it?"
"——Crown Prince Difeng."
In ancient times, the Phoenix and Dragon tribes divided the world, and the two tribes kept each other in check and restraint, neither able to destroy the other. There were six Phoenix tribes in total, and the king had to be the Golden-Winged Divine Phoenix, who was superior to the other five tribes. The Emperor Phoenix Prince was naturally also a Golden-Winged Divine Phoenix.
It is said that the Golden-Winged Divine Phoenix was named the Phoenix and could live forever, and every time they were reborn, they would become gods or demons in one thought. Prince Emperor Phoenix was different from other Golden-Winged Divine Phoenixes, so he chose to become a demon after his rebirth. The demons were bloodthirsty, so he single-handedly destroyed the Phoenix clan and even fought his way to heaven.
Qu Yaoyao was stunned after hearing this. She didn't understand, "Why does one have to exterminate their own kind just because they've fallen into the devil?"
There's no reason for this.
Mo Xuanxiao also expressed his ignorance. "The reason why Prince Difeng exterminated the Phoenix Clan has always been a mystery. It's not recorded in the historical records, but it specifically notes that Difeng has a violent and cruel personality, probably because he was born bloodthirsty."
"Born bloodthirsty?" Qu Yaoyao frowned. Mo Xuanxiao's description of her made her fear the name deep down. She couldn't help but whisper, "Are there really people who are born evil?"
Mo Xuanxiao couldn't answer this question either.
But he didn't want to erase the little girl's innocence, so he added, "I've also read unofficial history. It says that Emperor Feng had a difficult life. He wandered for many years before being taken back by the Phoenix Clan. However, because he was ugly and weak, he was despised and bullied by his own people who admired strength. Even his father disliked him. This probably planted the seeds of his misfortune."
"However, most unofficial histories are fabricated and should not be trusted."
As for what the truth is, only the ancients who lived ten thousand years ago know it. In the entire world of cultivation, there are only one or two people who are ten thousand years old and still alive today, and they have all avoided the world.
A green leaf gently fell, and outside the corridor stood a towering ancient tree.
On the tree, the girl in the yellow skirt was dozing with her arms behind her head. Listening to the conversation between the two people under the tree, she slowly opened her eyes. The red-gold eyes were rich and brilliant in the sunlight, and it was impossible to see the bottom of her eyes.
"Wild history." Huang Ying uttered these two words softly, looking up at the sun with an expressionless face, and suddenly burst out laughing.
“It’s really interesting to make up.”
.
With worries growing heavier, Qu Yaoyao returned to her bedroom. Before she knew it, she had been wandering outside for nearly two hours.
When he opened the palace door, he found that Xie Qingxun was not in the bedroom. After asking Di Shu, he learned that he had gone to the Immortal Sect Conference organized by Sect Leader Huang with injuries, and had not returned for an hour.
"He was so badly injured, why didn't you stop him?"
Di Shu gave her a strange look. His master was seriously injured, but at least he could still disguise himself. He wasn't too sick to walk. Seeing Qu Yaoyao's anxiety, he spoke a few words to comfort her and reminded her, "Master's injury must not be known to outsiders, so he must go."
Qu Yaoyao said sullenly, "You always have all sorts of excuses."
After waiting in the room for a while, she saw that Xie Qingxun had not returned yet, so she couldn't bear it any longer and went out to look for him herself. Xie Qingxun pretended to be fine in front of Di Shu, but in front of Qu Yaoyao, he was so weak that he could hardly even lift his arms, like a fragile porcelain doll.
When she ran to the main sect to find Xie Qingxun, the Immortal Sect Conference had just ended. Xie Qingxun smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves and walked out slowly.
"Junior brother!" Pei Ziyi chased him in a few steps and was about to grab Xie Qingxun's arm, but he dodged quickly and retreated two steps away.
Seeing someone looking over here, Pei Ziyi, who was very concerned about his reputation, forced a smile and said, "Junior brother, what do you mean? Are you angry with me?"
He mentioned the matter of Qu Yaoyao being punished, and said hypocritically: "I also want to favor Madam Yao, but the pressure from Longya Mountain is too heavy. If we don't punish her severely, Sun Penghai will drag those small sects into hostility with our Immortal Sect."
Xie Qingxun watched him act out with cold eyes, curled his lips slightly and said, "So the entire Longya Mountain clan was wiped out."
Pei Ziyi's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean by that, Junior Brother?"
"It's nothing." Xie Qingxun gently pressed his forehead, his long eyelashes drooping, very gentle, "It's just a joke."
"The world of cultivation has been in turmoil lately. The demons have grown stronger and are wreaking havoc on the immortal sects. Who knows, one day, they might bring disaster upon Senior Brother." Xie Qingxun's eyes were dark, and he chatted with Pei Ziyi with a somewhat cold smile. "If Senior Brother were torn apart and died at the hands of the demons, half the sky of the world of cultivation would collapse."
It was rare for him to say so much in front of Pei Ziyi. He shook his head and sighed, "So, Senior Brother, please don't get into any trouble."
Is he cursing him, or is he hinting at something? !
Pei Ziyi's smile vanished completely, and he suddenly lashed out at Xie Qingxun with a concentrated attack technique. Qu Yaoyao arrived just in time to see the two men, one retreating, the other approaching, one attacking, the other defending. Worried that Xie Qingxun's wound would burst, revealing his true identity, she quickly summoned Lian Chao and threw it between them.
"What are you doing!" The golden light split the two men apart, and each of them took a few steps back.
Qu Yaoyao ran to Xie Qingxun's side and secretly supported him with her hands. Pei Ziyi saw that many cultivators had stopped around and said gently with a smile, "Madam Yao, don't worry. I'm just sparring with my junior brother."
Sharp-eyed, he noticed blood oozing from Xie Qingxun's arm. He was very surprised and asked, "When did you get injured, Junior Brother?"
He acted too realistically, as if he really didn't know that Xie Qingxun was injured. Xie Qingxun had previously said that he was injured by Pei Ziyi's men. If that were true, how could Pei Ziyi not know that Xie Qingxun was injured, and even go to the trouble of testing him under the pretext of sparring?
Qu Yaoyao bit her lip and finally guessed what Xie Qingxun asked her to guess. It turned out that what he told her was a lie.
But now was not the time to dwell on these matters. She was about to speak up to help Xie Qingxun out of his predicament, but Xie Qingxun spoke before her and said calmly, "It's just a small matter. Don't worry about it, Senior Brother."
It's just a small wound that can directly wet the sleeve and stain a large area on the clothes.
Pei Ziyi saw through it but didn't say anything, a vague guess forming in his mind. He watched Qu Yaoyao and Xie Qingxun walk away, snorting and sweeping his sleeves. Just then, a fragrance wafted over, and the gorgeously dressed Qu Yingsi walked up behind Pei Ziyi, staring at their backs as he did.
"It seems that Yaoyao and Qingxi Immortal Venerable get along very well." The woman's voice was soft. "I just received a letter from Yaoyao not long ago."
Blinking her eyes, she fixed her gaze on Pei Ziyi and asked softly, "I wonder if Yingsi has had the opportunity to spar with Immortal Zi Cang?"
Pei Ziyi straightened his shoulders and turned to look at the beautiful woman behind him. He quickly smiled and said, "I happen to be free. Why don't you come to my Zhenxu for a visit, Sect Leader Qu?"
"With great pleasure."
“…”
After returning from the main sect, Xie Qingxun's wounds needed to be re-applied with medicine. Pei Ziyi attacked without mercy, and even though Xie Qingxun could dodge, several wounds were still broken.
Qu Yaoyao kept a sullen expression as she tended to his wounds, suppressing her worries and playing dumb, pretending she hadn't noticed his supposed truth or lies. Since he wouldn't say anything, she didn't ask any more questions, only wanting to find a quiet corner to sort things out.
But Xie Qingxun insisted on pestering her at this time, holding her in his arms and rubbing her for a while. Qu Yaoyao was so aroused by him that her breathing became unstable. She glanced at the injuries on his body and said, "You are in such a state now, it is not suitable for you to do any strenuous activities, right?"
Xie Qingxun kissed her earlobe with his lips, and when he heard her question, he smiled and nodded.
Qu Yaoyao twisted in his arms, "So you are now..."
"I just want to kiss you, is that not okay?"
Qu Yaoyao was so exhausted that she bit his lips in anger, "Do you still have any humanity?"
Is it fun to bully her?
Due to his serious injuries, Xie Qingxun behaved himself a lot better and recuperated in his bedroom for two days. In order to avoid suspicion from outsiders, he had to go to Chengyu Palace to handle official business every day. Qu Yaoyao was worried and followed him every day, lying by his desk reading storybooks.
That day, Di Shu came in with a stack of documents, glanced at Qu Yaoyao, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Qu Yaoyao held her cheek with one hand, her body slightly bent, her head lowered, her eyes closed as if she had fallen into a deep sleep. Xie Qingxun glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Just say it."
Di Shu said, "Yesterday, Xiao Gaoyuan submitted his resignation letter to Sect Leader Huang and asked all disciples of Zhuzhen Tower to withdraw from the Immortal Sword Conference. He has already set off."
"Leaving now?" Xie Qingxun was not surprised after hearing this. He just twitched the corner of his lip and said, "It seems that the extermination of the previous factions scared him."
Why didn't others run away, but only he, Zhuzhenlou, escaped?
"With such little courage and insight, how can you accomplish anything great?"
"Then we..." Di Shu was always paying attention to Qu Yaoyao's situation and only said half of the sentence.
Xie Qingxun did not answer, but just gestured for him to leave first. Di Shu understood and left quietly.
As the door closed, the sleeping girl's head hit the table with a dull thud. Qu Yaoyao woke up with a start and sat up straight. She looked around and asked confusedly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Xie Qingxun stared at her with his dark eyes. Meeting Qu Yaoyao's hazy gaze, he said slowly, "Nothing, you can continue to sleep."
Qu Yaoyao lay down on the table, folded her arms and buried her head. Where Xie Qingxun couldn't see, she bit her lips tightly and her eyes were clear, as if she hadn't slept for a long time.
...She heard the conversation between Di Shu and Xie Qingxun just now. They mentioned Zhuzhen Tower.
Qu Yaoyao's thoughts were wandering, and she couldn't help but think of the conversation with Chong'an last night. The bloody murders in Shibu Vanilla Garden continued one after another, and she still couldn't understand why Chong'an asked her to take over.
"I just want you to see Xie Qingxun's true face."
Chong'an's words echoed in her ears again, and the man smiled coldly and said, "Since you won't listen to my repeated advice, I will let you see for yourself."
"The massacre at the Ten-Step Herb Garden is over, but the slaughter at the sect is not over yet."
Qu Yaoyao bit her lips harder and harder, and she wondered silently in her heart, would the next one be Zhuzhen Tower?
The author has something to say: Xiao Xie: I will show you a face-changing show online.
Yaoyao: I’ll be the audience.
I'll try to make the next chapter more exciting.
