Chapter 69 Immortal Lord 069%
.
In fact, this Shura was fed by Xie Qingxun using his own evil spirit.
Nowadays, the demon world is declining and there are no Shuras at all. In order to lure Qu Yingsi into the game, he deliberately fed Shura and exposed him in the Ten-Step Vanilla Garden, in order to frame these tragic cases of family annihilation on her head and capture her back to his territory.
The underground palace of Wangxu is cold and gloomy. After Qu Yaoyao escaped from here, Xie Qingxun reinforced it and also "carefully" prepared a cell for Qu Yingsi.
He went to such great lengths to capture Qu Yingsi not only to obtain the Phoenix Blood and Tears, but also because Qu Yingsi and Pei Ziyi were inextricably linked. He wanted to use Qu Yingsi to send Pei Ziyi to hell. His senior brother was becoming more and more of an eyesore.
However, what he didn't expect was that Qu Yingsi was far more loyal to Pei Ziyi than he thought. She was also obsessed with Phoenix Blood and Tears to the point of wanting her life. Even the various tortures Xie Qingxun inflicted on her in the underground palace could not pry open her mouth.
The once beautiful and elegant woman, now with disheveled hair and filthy clothes, spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered, "You are indeed involved with the Ancient Phoenix Clan."
"Were all those sects destroyed by you?"
Xie Qingxun wiped his blood-stained fingers with a handkerchief, raised his eyelids and said, "If I don't get the Phoenix Blood Tears, your Xingyang Sect will suffer the same fate."
"Alright." Qu Yingsi laughed heartily. "Kill me if you want. Even if you kill everyone in the Xingyang Sect, even if you wipe out the entire Wanmen Immortal Sect, I won't tell you where the Phoenix Blood Tears are."
Xie Qingxun's eyes darkened, he stopped and looked at her coldly.
Qu Ying was not afraid at all, and even provoked him, saying: "My daughter Yaoyao is also a member of the Xingyang Sect. If you want to kill her, Immortal Venerable, do not show mercy, and do not let her go."
Xie Qingxun narrowed his eyes, "Do you think I wouldn't dare?"
Qu Yingsi was still laughing, "Why not?"
"The Immortal Venerable is ruthless and murderous. He has already killed so many people, so why would he care about one more death? But you can try and see who is more important to me, Qu Yaoyao or Phoenix Blood and Tears!"
She would choose Phoenix Blood and Tears.
Anyone who possesses the Phoenix Blood and Tears will treat it as their life. Obviously, Qu Yingsi has been holding the Phoenix Blood and Tears for many years and has already gone mad and twisted.
Xie Qingxun's heart was chilled, his eyes tinged with emotion. He walked towards Qu Yingsi, grabbed her hair and pulled her towards him, saying sinisterly, "Are you asking for death in disguise?"
Qu Yingsi's facial features were distorted with pain.
Xie Qingxun remained unmoved, and even laughed abruptly: "There's no way I'll let you die. I've been a righteous Immortal Venerable for so long, I should find some fun to vent."
"Tell me, how should I torture you?"
Xie Qingxun's voice became gentle, as if he was really thinking seriously. After a moment, he raised his hand, and his slender fingers quickly grew sharp nails.
His nails were as sharp as knives, and they felt cold and slightly stinging when they touched Qu Yingsi's face. Under Qu Yingsi's increasingly terrified gaze, Xie Qingxun's fingers slowly slid down, leaving a long, hideous bloody streak on her face.
"ah--"
A woman's heart-wrenching screams were heard from the underground palace.
“…”
Qu Yaoyao was trapped in her room and still couldn't leave. It was two days later when she learned that Qu Yingsi had been captured by Xie Qingxun. And the person who told her was none other than Chong'an.
After being silent for several days, the pendant on Qu Yaoyao's neck lit up again. Chong'an finally appeared again, but his tone was weak, and his excessive gentleness sounded powerless, which made Qu Yaoyao very worried.
"How are you?"
Chong'an emerged from the pendant, still wearing a flamboyant and luxurious red robe. He shook his head slightly to comfort her, "As long as you can still see me, then nothing is wrong."
Qu Yaoyao noticed he was wearing a mask. The half-gold mask was intricately carved, with a half-exposed golden flower pattern on the edge. Qu Yaoyao took a closer look and couldn't help but ask, "Is that a lotus?"
Chong'an stroked his mask upon hearing this, the corners of his crimson lips unconsciously curled up, and he softly replied, "It's a small snow lotus."
"Is it me?" Qu Yaoyao joked.
Unexpectedly, Chong'an admitted frankly: "It's you."
Now Qu Yaoyao was at a loss for words. She was genuinely curious about Chong'an's appearance and wanted him to take off his mask. This wasn't the first time she'd mentioned it, but Chong'an remained adamant and refused to budge. To appease Qu Yaoyao's curiosity, he simply discredited himself, saying, "I'm too ugly. I'm afraid my true appearance would scare you."
"You're lying." Qu Yaoyao looked at the half of his face exposed outside the mask. "Do you think anyone would believe you if you said that?"
Even if he was really ugly, Qu Yaoyao would not despise him.
Chong'an looked at her, stroking the mask as if he had the urge to take it off, but Qu Yaoyao waited for a moment, only to see him give up.
"Wait a little longer." Chong'an said softly: "As long as our fate continues, you will naturally see my true face in the future."
And he added in his heart: Their fate is probably so shallow that they won’t be able to see the future.
Chong'an always had something for her to do every time he showed up, and this time was no exception. He came out this time to ask Qu Yaoyao to go to the underground palace to rescue Qu Yingsi, and follow her to successfully obtain the Phoenix Blood Tears.
"What are the Phoenix Blood and Tears?" Qu Yaoyao only knew about other phoenixes from books, and knew very little about the Golden-Feathered Divine Phoenix.
Chong'an didn't have time to explain so much to her now. He coughed lightly and said simply, "Just remember, the Phoenix Blood and Tears must not fall into Xie Qingxun's hands. If you are truly unable to stop it, then you must guard the Kunlun Stone and never give it to Xie Qingxun."
As if anticipating what would happen next, Chong'an walked up to Qu Yaoyao, put his hand on her face and said, "I'm afraid I can't stay with you for too long, Yaoyao, promise me—"
"No matter what happens next, you must not give him the Kunlun Stone."
"That's all I ask of you."
Qu Yaoyao began to feel anxious for no apparent reason.
She wanted to grab Chong'an's hand, but her fingertips touched his wrist but passed directly through his shadow. Qu Yaoyao nodded and said seriously: "I promise you."
"I'll agree to whatever you say."
"But you have to promise me that you can leave..." As if she felt that her request was too unreasonable, she bit her lip and changed her words with difficulty: "If you really want to leave, can you, can you tell me?"
Chong'an smiled and said, "Okay."
The underground palace is a forbidden area in Wangxu, and no one can enter without Xie Qingxun's permission. With Chong'an's help, Qu Yaoyao only needs a teleportation array to enter the underground palace. She quickly finds Qu Yingsi according to Chong'an's instructions, but is shocked by her appearance.
"Mother?" Qu Yaoyao walked towards her hesitantly.
Qu Yingsi, standing before him, was disheveled and filthy, a thick iron hook piercing her shoulder blade, her body covered in various wounds. She had been keeping her head down until she heard Qu Yaoyao calling her. Only then did she slowly raise her face. Beneath her beautiful, resentful, upward-turned eyes were spiderwebs of bloodstains, crisscrossing half her face.
"Take her away quickly." Chong'an waved his sleeves to break the chains on Qu Yingsi, and Qu Yingsi fell directly on Qu Yaoyao.
Although Chong'an asked Qu Yaoyao to come to the underground palace to rescue Qu Yingsi, he would not let Qu Yaoyao be implicated. Another teleportation array was set up, and Chong'an directly teleported the two back to the back mountain of Xingyang Sect, and asked Qu Yaoyao to send a message to Qu Yushu to go to the back mountain to meet them.
He didn't tell Qu Yaoyao that asking Qu Yushu to go and pick her up was actually a cover.
Chong'an took Qu Yaoyao out of the bedroom quietly, and would take her back quietly later. In order to prevent Xie Qingxun from suspecting Qu Yaoyao, Qu Yushu would be the best scapegoat. When the time comes, Qu Yaoyao would just insist that she knew nothing about it, and Xie Qingxun would have no way to deal with her.
Chong'an had planned everything, but he hadn't expected Huang Ying to be in the back mountain. She was sleeping in the dense branches. She noticed something unusual around her, quietly pushed aside the leaves, and just in time saw Qu Yingsi and Qu Yaoyao coming out of the teleportation array.
"This is interesting." Huang Ying narrowed her eyes and her gaze fell on Qu Yaoyao's blood drop pendant that was glowing red. The red-gold color in her eyes was rich.
She didn't help Qu Yaoyao hide the truth, but instead sent a message directly to Xie Qingxun, which briefly read: [Madam Yao took Qu Yingsi and fled back to the back mountain of Xingyang Sect.]
One sentence is enough.
"Mom, are you okay?" Qu Yaoyao supported Qu Yingsi all the way.
Qu Yingsi's breathing was rapid, and she struggled to move forward. Blood dripped from her body and finally she collapsed to her knees. Qu Yaoyao couldn't hold her back and followed her to her knees.
"Yaoyao." Qu Yingsi called her with difficulty, "Why did you save me?"
Qu Yaoyao opened her eyes wide and made an expression of incomprehension.
Because Chong'an had already made all the arrangements for her, she said sadly at this moment in order to gain Qu Yingsi's trust: "Mother, why would you ask this? You are the mother who gave birth to me and raised me. You were framed and captured by Xie Qingxun. How could I not save you?"
Qu Yingsi turned her head to look at her, "You knew that he framed me?"
Qu Yaoyao nodded and whispered in her ear, "My daughter has long noticed that something is wrong with Xie Qingxun. She once secretly followed him and found that all the immortal sects were destroyed by him."
"Mother, I'm so scared of him. I've been thinking about how to escape from Wangxu day and night, but he has me under house arrest. If I hadn't accidentally learned the art of teleportation, I'm afraid our Xingyang Sect would have been destroyed in his hands." Qu Yaoyao said this, tears about to come out.
Although Qu Yingsi still had some doubts about her words, she could only rely on her daughter at the moment. She gritted her teeth and said, "Good girl, help me get to Qiankun Cave."
Qiankun Cave is where Qu Yingsi practices all year round.
The Phoenix Blood and Tears were not kept on Qu Yingsi's body, but hidden in the Qiankun Palace, which was full of traps. Chong'an knew Qu Yingsi very well. A woman like her who loved beauty so much would definitely find a way to restore her appearance after escaping, and the Phoenix Blood and Tears happened to have the effect of preserving her youth.
This was not only Chong'an's idea, but also Xie Qingxun's idea. He deliberately destroyed Qu Yingsi's appearance, playing the trick of playing hard to get. Unfortunately, Chong'an was one step faster than him. This time, even if it cost him all his cultivation, he would destroy the Phoenix Blood and Tears.
"Yaoyao, go out and wait for me." After entering the Qiankun Palace, Qu Yingsi stopped her outside the cave.
She was still wary of her and didn't want her to discover the Phoenix Blood Tears. Qu Yaoyao glanced at Chong'an, who sneered, "Just listen to her. Once she takes out the Phoenix Blood Tears, it won't be too late for us to break in."
Qu Yaoyao nodded and said to Qu Yingsi obediently, "Okay."
The Qiankun Cave was a unique structure. Inside, a boundless void realm left behind by the Xingyang Clan's ancestors existed, and within it lay the Phoenix Blood and Tears. If Qu Yingsi hadn't personally retrieved it, others would never have found it even if they searched the cave their entire lives. As the cave door slowly closed, Qu Yingsi reached into the void realm.
"It's out." Outside the cave, Chong'an was waiting quietly.
As soon as he sensed the breath of the Phoenix's blood and tears, he immediately asked Qu Yaoyao to step back, gathered his spiritual power with his five fingers, and smashed it fiercely towards the cave door.
Bang--
The universe was broken, and a red-gold light spread out. As the sunlight poured in, it spread outside and slowly flew out.
"No!" Qu Yingsi screamed and quickly reached out to grab it.
Qu Yaoyao stood outside the cave, looking up at the beads flying into the air. The dazzling light hurt her eyes, and she couldn't help but put her hands up to block them.
The accident happened at this moment.
Chong'an looked at the Phoenix Blood Tear in mid-air, something materialized in his hand as he was about to smash it, when a pale hand suddenly appeared, seizing it and clutching it tightly in its palm. His white robe fluttered in the wind, and Xie Qingxun, looking at the bead in his hand, curled his lips slightly and said coldly, "It was easy to get."
"Yaoyao, you really helped me a lot."
Qu Yaoyao was stunned and had no idea how Xie Qingxun appeared.
Chong'an didn't expect Xie Qingxun to show up so soon, until Huang Ying jumped down from the tree, stretched and said, "It's not in vain that I have been squatting in this back mountain for so many days."
Qu Yaoyao couldn't believe it, "You knew I would go to save Qu Yingsi?"
"That's a huge misunderstanding." Huang Ying said with a smile, "Master rarely tells me about his affairs. I just saw Di Shu often wandering around the back mountain, so I wanted to sneak out and grab a mission to claim the credit. I didn't expect to run into you."
This time she made a great contribution.
"Ah—" A sharp cry interrupted the confrontation between the two people. Qu Yingsi rushed towards Xie Qingxun like a madman, "Give me back the Phoenix Blood and Tears!"
Qu Yushu received a message from Qu Yaoyao and had just walked to the back mountain when he heard a woman's miserable scream. When he approached the source of the sound, he saw that there was not only Qu Yaoyao there, but also Qu Yingsi who was fiercely trying to snatch the thing from Xie Qingxun's hand.
But how could she be a match for Xie Qingxun?
Qu Yushu stopped and stood in a secluded corner, looking at Qu Yingsi expressionlessly, with no intention of going out to help.
What Chong'an wanted was not the Phoenix Blood and Tears, but to destroy it. Seeing Qu Yingsi's desperate behavior, he wanted to take action but had some concerns. Not only because he could not defeat Xie Qingxun with his current cultivation level, but also because once he took action, Qu Yaoyao would be implicated.
But now, he has implicated her...
"I'm sorry." Chong'an walked to Qu Yaoyao, exhausted both physically and mentally.
In reality, he had lied to Qu Yaoyao. That night, he was severely injured by the Jade Bone Fan, and his condition hadn't improved. He had forced himself out of the pendant, hoping to seize the opportunity to destroy the Phoenix Blood Tears and clear the danger for Qu Yaoyao. However, the Phoenix Blood Tears had fallen into Xie Qingxun's hands, and not only had he failed to change anything, he had even brought disaster upon the girl he loved.
"There's nothing to be sorry about." Qu Yaoyao comforted him.
Even though she was very scared now, she still smiled at Chong'an, "The worst that can happen is that he will lock me up again. It doesn't matter to me."
Chong'an's figure began to become transparent, and his wide sleeves covered what he was holding in his hands. He tried hard to keep his body steady, thinking about how to help Qu Yaoyao out of trouble.
During this process, Xie Qingxun slapped Qu Yingsi hard, knocking her over and back with ruthless force. The pain was so severe that Qu Yingsi could no longer get up.
"Give it back to me..."
"Give it back to me!" She struggled to crawl forward.
As if the nutrients in her body were being lost, her black hair gradually turned gray, and her scarred skin shrank and wrinkled.
"Ah——" Qu Yingsi screamed in pain and her body became hunched over and turned into a thin old woman, which was what she was supposed to look like.
"I don't want to become like this, I don't want it!" Qu Yingsi was completely tense and pulled her hair madly.
Xie Qingxun watched all this coldly, and walked slowly towards her, gathering spiritual power in his palm again. Now that the Phoenix Blood and Tears had been found, there was no point in her keeping it.
Swish——
As he slapped down with his palm, a black shadow appeared and took the person away at an extremely fast speed.
The only one who could snatch people away from Xie Qingxun was Pei Ziyi.
"Master." Di Shu hurried forward, "Do you want to chase?"
"No need." Xie Qingxun casually withdrew his hand, "He used teleportation."
Qu Yingsi had become a useless chess piece, no longer needing his attention. What he should be most concerned about now was that person who should have been confined to his bedroom to reflect on his mistakes. His cold eyes fell on Qu Yaoyao and he asked, "Are you coming here on your own, or am I going to arrest you?"
