Chapter 321 Yun Ling Awakens
...
Inside a secluded courtyard, Shi Tianxin listened to his subordinates' report and walked back into the house with a solemn expression.
Ouyang Jue, who was discussing matters with Xin Hun Yin, saw his appearance and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Upon hearing his question, Shi Tianxin looked at Xiao Huan, who was possessed, with a very troubled expression, and recounted the information she had just received in detail.
Ouyang Jue's expression changed upon hearing this, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Tsk, so he's the missing fourth young master of the Xiao family. This is going to be troublesome..."
Seeing the two of them looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Xin Hun Yin was surprised, but he could only pretend to be nonchalant and sneered dismissively, "Heh, just kill him and be done with it, no one will know. Is it really necessary to be so scared?"
Ouyang Jue concealed the disgust in his eyes and said patiently, "I advise you not to act rashly! You are all alone with no ties, while we have families to support. With the Xiao family's capabilities, they will find out about us sooner or later."
"Moreover, the Xiao family has powerful figures who have established influence in the Upper Realm. If we were to form a life-or-death feud with them, it would likely cause trouble for Qilin Valley."
Her soul was naturally perceptive, and given her current predicament of being dependent on others, she could only compromise for the time being. "Fine, I won't kill you, but crippling you is acceptable, right?"
“You—!” Ouyang Jue sighed, “Do as you please, just don’t take his life.”
After spending time with her and getting to know her better, he had come to understand this ruthless woman better and was too lazy to waste any more words on her.
Xinhun chuckled softly, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "Preparations are almost complete; it's time for us to get started."
“Alright.” Ouyang Jue nodded, looking at Shi Tianxin beside him, “Then I’ll trouble you to arrange the manpower.”
A confident smile appeared on Shi Tianxin's gloomy face. "Alright, I can't wait."
...
A few days later, news of Xiao Huan's true identity reached Peach Blossom Valley, leaving everyone astonished.
These past few days, Peach Blossom Valley has been in seclusion, completely ignoring what's happening outside. If the Xiao family hadn't come today, they wouldn't have known about this at all.
Ming Cang instructed them to stay and cultivate within the sect, and then he led the Grand Elder and Nan Muyin out.
It took Yu Qianling a long time to come to his senses. He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement and said, "Hey, I didn't expect this kid to be so good at hiding things. He hasn't revealed a single thing all these years."
"Yeah, he fooled me too!"
Cen Feng brandished the puppet fragment in his hand, looking indignant. "Watch me beat him to a pulp! Wait a minute... what if his soul gets cornered and he kills him?!"
“No.” Ye Luo said with certainty, his expression unchanged as he continued to work on the medicinal herbs. He continued, “She was injured and needed to recuperate, so it shouldn’t be so quick to find a suitable body. Besides, no one’s body is more suitable than Xiao Huan’s. In times of crisis, he can make us hesitate to act against him, so she won’t give him up easily.”
"However, even if she has recovered, she wouldn't dare to kill him casually now. Even if she wanted to, her allies wouldn't allow it."
"Allies?" Yu Qianling looked at him for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You mean the stray dogs of Ten Thousand Sins City, or those people from the Glazed Pavilion?"
“Most likely, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. It’s not hard to guess that she would go to them.” Ye Luo nodded and handed her the prepared medicine. “This is your medicine. Drink it and then cultivate.”
Yu Qianling looked at the bowl of medicine in his hand, which was already the third bowl, and said worriedly, "Junior Brother, why don't you take a break? I'm afraid you won't be able to take it if you keep bleeding like this."
Cen Feng: "Yeah, why don't you take a few days off?"
"Why are you all worrying so much? I know what I'm doing." Ye Luo chuckled and explained, "The blood you drank was diluted; it's not as serious as you think."
Yu Xian'er fiddled with the medicinal herbs in her hands and said seriously, "Even so, you should still get plenty of rest. Leave the rest to me."
Ye Luo glanced helplessly at everyone, put down the bottles and jars in her hands, and said, "Alright, alright, I'll go back to my cave to rest first."
Yu Qianling said, "Let's go quickly."
Ye Luo smiled at Yu Qianling, then turned and walked towards the stone path outside the sect. But before she had gone far, a soft voice suddenly called out, "Ye Luo!"
"Um?"
Ye Luo immediately recognized it as Fu Yun's voice. Hearing his voice tremble slightly, her heart tightened: "Senior, what's wrong? Has Yun Ling been in trouble?"
"No! It's because Master has woken up!"
"Really?!" Ye Luo flashed into the stone wall and saw that the small secret realm was just as usual.
The man who had been sleeping suddenly awoke and was now lying on the woven tree bed, smiling at him. "Zhu Yue, I never thought I'd see you again."
Looking at his face, which remained unchanged, Ye Luo's eyes unconsciously stung. "Anything is possible."
Yun Ling smiled and couldn't help but sigh, "After sleeping for a thousand years, everything that happened yesterday seems like it was just yesterday..."
"It's good that you're awake." Ye Luo walked towards him, sat down beside him, and reached out to examine his spiritual veins. "Tsk, it seems you still need to rest."
Yun Ling chuckled lightly, "No rush."
Ye Luo said, "Thank you."
"Um?"
“My daughter Xixi, and Jiuyouque, they are both doing well now…”
Yun Ling waved her hand, "You are my dear friend, there is no need for thanks between us."
With many questions swirling in her mind, Ye Luo sorted out her thoughts and asked, "What exactly happened after I perished a thousand years ago?"
Upon hearing Ye Luo's question, Yun Ling's smile vanished, and she said, "Back then... I was besieged by people from Tantai Immortal Mountain, which is why I was so badly injured."
"Immortal Mountain Tantai?" Ye Luo frowned slightly, guessing that it must be because of the death of the Holy Maiden of Immortal Mountain. "At that time, was there no time to explain?"
Yun Ling shook her head and smiled bitterly, "What's there to explain? Jun Yi went mad immediately after you died. He was like a demon who would kill gods and demons alike. What's there to explain to them?"
"The people of Tantai Immortal Mountain have always been arrogant, and naturally they couldn't swallow this insult, so the two sides started fighting..."
"Originally, Jun Yi had captured the woman, but due to this unexpected intervention, she managed to escape. Enraged, Jun Yi defied divine punishment and killed all the people from Tantai Immortal Mountain who came to question him."
Yun Ling got up and leaned against Fu Yun, seemingly lost in distant memories. After a long while, she sighed and said, "That great battle shattered mountains and rivers, darkened the sky and extinguished the sun and moon... and caused immense suffering to the people."
Ye Luo suddenly realized the reason for the great war a thousand years ago, and never expected that it was related to her.
He then asked, "What happened to Junyi afterward?"
He seemed to have completely forgotten about both the events involving Zhu Yue and Xi Xi.
Yun Ling said, "At that time, Jun Yi lost his mind and accidentally injured several elders of the Heavenly Sect. He had no choice but to call people from the Upper Realm. It took a lot of effort to subdue him and then forcibly take him away, which stopped the great battle."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Luo said, "It should be someone from the Dragon Lord Palace..."
Junyi is a modified alpha. Although he can't achieve enlightenment like a normal alpha, he still has the characteristic of a susceptible period.
Over the years, he neither took the pills left by Qi Jun nor received any omega pheromones to soothe him...
Thinking about it this way, perhaps that was a manifestation of mental instability.
So... his memory was damaged at that time?
