Chapter 172 The Demonic Cult Witch 1
As soon as Yao Rong opened her eyes, she saw an ancient palace.
She sat at the top, and a tall man knelt on one knee below her, reporting to her: "Pavilion Master, Xuyang Sect will hold a sword-fighting conference in the near future. All martial arts sects will gather at Xuyang Sect. This is a great opportunity for us, Juexian Pavilion, to encircle and suppress the righteous."
Yao Rong had not yet accepted the memory, but based on these few words, she roughly guessed her current situation.
This is a martial arts world. The sect she is in is called Juexian Pavilion, and she is the Pavilion Master of Juexian Pavilion.
They plan to encircle and suppress the righteous. It seems that Juexian Pavilion is a demonic cult in the eyes of the world. After
waiting for a long time without a response from Yao Rong, the man bowed his head more respectfully: "I hope the Pavilion Master will make plans early."
Yao Rong said in a tone that others could not tell whether she was happy or angry: "You can leave first. I will take care of this matter myself."
When she was the only one left in the hall, Yao Rong waved her sleeves, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and received the memories and plot of the original body.
Yaojiabao is a second-rate sect in the martial arts world. The original body is the third daughter of Yaojiabao. She has shown amazing talent in martial arts since she was a child.
One day, the original body went down the mountain to play. When she had enough fun, it was already dark. She and her maid hurried back home, but what was waiting for them was a pile of corpses.
Finally, the original body found her dying sister in the pile of corpses.
With her last breath, her elder sister told her that the one who massacred the entire Yao family was none other than the Xuyang Sect, the first sect of the righteous path. Because her father had a personal relationship with the leader of the Demon Cult, the Xuyang Sect suspected that the Yao family was colluding with the Demon Cult, so they sent people to massacre the Yao family and took away a secret treasure that the Yao family had guarded for many years.
At this time, the people of the Xuyang Sect turned back and fought with the original body. At the
critical moment, the original body was saved by a young man.
The person who saved her was Su Xingze, the young master of Juexian Pavilion. He
was also known as the young master of the Demon Cult in the eyes of the world.
With nowhere to go, the original body followed Su Xingze back to Juexian Pavilion. A few years later, the original body accepted Su Xingze's feelings and married him. Later, the two had a daughter and named her Su Yingxi.
Su Yingxi was physically weak and did not like to learn martial arts, but was interested in learning medicine.
However, the original body was worried that Su Yingxi had no power to protect himself, so he kept forcing Su Yingxi to learn martial arts.
Once, when he got angry, he tore up all of Su Yingxi's medical books.
Su Yingxi was annoyed by her mother's tyranny, so she took her maids and guards to a nearby town to relax.
The area nearby was within the influence of Juexian Pavilion, and Su Yingxi brought enough people with him, so it should have been fine. But on that day, the righteous sects, led by the Xuyang Sect, besieged Juexian Pavilion. In
this battle, most of the disciples of Juexian Pavilion were killed or injured, and Su Xingze died tragically under the sword of the Xuyang Sect's leader in order to save the original body.
Su Xingze's father risked his life to defeat the righteous sect, and he also passed away on the same day.
The original body suppressed his grief and cleaned up the aftermath, but heard a bad news from his subordinates: they found the bodies of the maids and guards not far from the cliff, and also found Su Yingxi's jade pendant and clothing fragments on the edge of the cliff.
Since then, the original body has been trapped in the devil.
After she became the head of the Juexian Pavilion, she spent all her thoughts on cultivation, and her heart was always thinking about revenge. For this reason, she did not hesitate to absorb some vicious and evil people into the Juexian Pavilion, making the Juexian Pavilion a veritable demon sect.
On the other hand, Su Yingxi did not die.
Not long after she arrived in the town, she met people from the Xuyang Sect.
Su Yingxi was caught when she fled to the edge of the cliff.
The jade pendant and the pieces of clothing left on the edge of the cliff were all the work of the Xuyang Sect.
It is unknown what medicine the Xuyang Sect gave her. When she woke up, Su Yingxi had lost her memory.
The Xuyang Sect told her that her name was Axi, and she was an orphan. Both her parents died in the war. Fortunately, the Xuyang Sect kindly took her in, so she did not have nowhere to go.
Axi began to learn medicine from the doctors in the sect and became a little female doctor.
Once, Axi went out to collect herbs with a bamboo basket on her back and accidentally fell. When she limped back to the Xuyang Sect, she met Mu Wenxuan, the son of the leader, who was riding a horse.
With the help of Mu Wenxuan, Axi returned to the sect smoothly.
From then on, Mu Wenxuan often came to see Ah Xi and shared with her all kinds of interesting things in the martial arts world.
As the relationship between the two became better and better, Mu Wenxuan often showed a look of distress. When Ah Xi asked him about it, Mu Wenxuan sighed and said, "The Demon Cult has been making more and more noise recently."
After that, Mu Wenxuan explained to Ah Xi the evil deeds that the Demon Cult had done, and instilled in Ah Xi a lot of ideas that "Xuyang Sect disciples and the Demon Cult are irreconcilable."
The master who taught Ah Xi medicine said, "My left leg was disabled by the people of the Demon Cult."
The senior sister who was good friends with Ah Xi said, "My father died in the battle against the Demon Cult." The junior
brother who was saved by Ah Xi said, "Senior sister, if it wasn't the Demon Cult, how could so many people die in the martial arts world."
The young disciple who did odd jobs in the sect said, "Senior sister Ah Xi, you are so lucky to be accepted by the Xuyang Sect. Unlike me, I can only be an odd job driven by others after all my efforts."
Under the intentional or unintentional indoctrination and guidance of everyone, Ah Xi, as a disciple of the Xuyang Sect, hated the Demon Cult deeply.
At the same time, Ah Xi also fell in love with Mu Wenxuan.
When Ah Xi was sixteen years old, the Xuyang Sect held a sword-fighting conference and invited all the martial arts sects to participate.
The Demon Cult seized the opportunity and attacked the Xuyang Sect in one fell swoop.
Just when the righteous people were being beaten back by the original body, Mu Wenxuan appeared with Axi.
The original body recognized that it was his daughter at a glance, and slowed down his sword moves.
Axi looked at the original body and suddenly felt a severe headache, but under Mu Wenxuan's urging, he spoke words of disgust and hatred for the Demon Cult.
Especially the criticism of the leader of the Demon Cult.
The original body never thought that his daughter who had been lost for six years was actually taken away by the Xuyang Sect, and he never thought that his daughter would be
tamed and brainwashed by the Xuyang Sect. Yes, it was taming and brainwashing.
For these six years, Su Yingxi lived in a completely false world.
When the original body lost his mind, he was stabbed through the heart by a sword from his trusted subordinate.
From the beginning to the end, this was all the conspiracy of the Xuyang Sect. When the original body was aggressively recruiting subordinates, the Xuyang Sect planted a lot of people in it. Some of them climbed to high positions and became the original body's confidants.
As the original body became stronger and stronger, his confidants and the Xuyang Sect planned a sword-fighting meeting to wipe out the entire Demon Sect in one fell swoop.
Their plan was successful. Without the powerful original body blocking the way, the other members of the Demon Sect could not stop the siege of the righteous martial arts.
Looking at the original body lying in a pool of blood, Axi had a splitting headache. Real memories and false memories kept intertwining and flashing, and she finally remembered everything.
She was never Axi, the doctor of the Xuyang Sect.
She was Su Yingxi, the daughter of Su Xingze and Yao Rong of Juexian Pavilion.
But the memory returned too late, and everything was irreversible.
Su Yingxi hated herself for being an accomplice in killing her mother. She hated herself for not listening to her mother and learning martial arts well, so that she didn't even have the ability to take revenge. She hated Xuyang Sect, which planned everything.
The last memory was that Mu Wenxuan came to Su Yingxi with a sword.
"Axi, I have always liked you, but who told you that you are the daughter of the leader of the Demon Sect?"
"Instead of letting you live in pain in the future, why don't I help you get rid of it."
Su Yingxi cried and laughed, like a madman.
Mu Wenxuan liked her?
This is really, too ironic.
What did he like about her? Her background was fake, her name was fake, her relationships were specially arranged by the Xuyang Sect, the care she received was fake, and the six years she knew him were all lies. What he liked was a
fake person?
Su Yingxi lay in a pool of blood, pressing her tear-stained cheeks against her original blood-stained cheeks. Her plain skirt was stained blood red. She was like the last withered plum blossom blooming in the vast snow, and finally withered.
"Mother, this world is so scary..."
...
[Ding, the plot has been transmitted, mission: Save Su Yingxi and make her feel happy]
[The system detects that Su Yingxi's current environmental transformation value is 95, please act as soon as possible]
***
The sky outside the house is full of clouds.
Yao Rong, wearing a black uniform, came to the courtyard located in the northeast corner of Juexian Pavilion.
This is Su Yingxi's residence, and everything inside still maintains the layout before she disappeared.
Pushing open the door, Yao Rong sat quietly in the study full of medical books.
Whenever the original body was upset, he would come here to be in a daze, and Yao Rong also inherited this habit very well.
Su Yingxi's experience is very much like the ancient version of "The Truman Show", but it is far worse than the protagonist in the movie.
Ten to sixteen years old is the best stage for a person to shape his personality. But Su Yingxi's cognition in this stage is completely contradictory to her cognition in the previous ten years.
When she regained her memory in an instant, two completely opposite cognitions impacted her, and coupled with the fact that her original body died because of her, she completely collapsed.
If you want to reverse Su Yingxi's cognition, you must do it slowly.
But the most important thing right now is not Su Yingxi's side.
The Xuyang Sect wants to use Su Yingxi to deal with Yao Rong. As long as Yao Rong is okay, Su Yingxi's life safety will not be a problem for the time being.
For Yao Rong, the most urgent task is Suqing Juexian Pavilion.
Yao Rong took out a pen and paper from the side, ground the ink, and with the last ray of afterglow outside the window, Yao Rong picked up the pen and wrote the three words "Right Protector".
The Right Protector was the man who knelt in the temple and urged her to encircle and suppress the righteous when she first came to this world. He
was also the one who ambushed her and killed her.
There is no doubt that the Right Protector was the chess piece planted
by the Xuyang Sect in the Juexian Pavilion. However, there are still too few things that the Right Protector can do alone, so the Xuyang Sect must have more than one spies planted in the Juexian Pavilion.
If you want to get rid of these spies, you must get rid of them all at once, otherwise if you act in advance and make a surprise attack, it will be difficult to dig out all these spies.
Thinking of this, Yao Rong put down the pen in her hand and slowly crumpled the paper into a ball. When she released her palm, the paper had been shaken into powder by her internal force.
Yao Rong walked out of the courtyard and said to the two subordinates who were guarding outside the courtyard: "Please ask the left and right protectors to come here to see me as soon as possible."
One of the subordinates took the order and left. After
a while, the left protector, who was nearly fifty years old and had a piercing wound on his face, a thin body, came to Yao Rong.
The handsome right protector
came a step later. Yao Rong put his hands behind his back and said: "Two protectors, please accompany me for a walk."
All the lanterns outside the corridor were lit, reflecting the moonlight in the sky, illuminating the Juexian Pavilion very brightly.
Yao Rong walked slowly in front, with a thoughtful look on his face, and did not speak.
The right protector kept his thoughts to himself. He walked with Yao Rong for a while and couldn't help but asked anxiously, "Are you worried about what I said today?"
The left protector showed interest and asked what the right protector said today.
The right protector told the left protector everything, "According to the information I have investigated, all the famous sects in the martial arts world will send people to participate in the sword-fighting conference."
"Back then, these sects followed the orders of the Xuyang Sect and came together with the Xuyang Sect to attack the Juexian Pavilion. Now all the enemies are together, it's a great opportunity for us to take revenge."
The left protector is the confidant of the old pavilion master and an elder who has watched Su Xingze grow up since he was a child. His hatred for the Xuyang Sect is not much less than Yao Rong's. He was happy at first when he heard it.
But soon, the left protector calmed down.
He shook his head and said, "All the enemies gathered together, which also means that there are many masters in Xuyang Sect. If we attack Xuyang Sect now, aren't we going to die?"
The right protector laughed, "My opinion is exactly the opposite of the left protector."
"The left protector would think so, and those hypocritical gentlemen of the righteous path would definitely think so too."
"In fact, Xuyang Sect has many people and many eyes, and this is exactly when their defense and vigilance are the weakest. As long as we prepare some medicine in advance and put it in their wine, most of their manpower will be gone." "
In addition, the Pavilion Master has made great progress in his magical powers recently, and the head of Xuyang Sect is no longer the Pavilion Master's opponent. Can the left protector sit back and watch his enemies continue to hold high positions and enjoy the praise of the entire martial arts world?"
At the end, the Right Protector couldn't help but use some provocation.
He had been in Juexian Pavilion for six years and was very clear about the character of the Left Protector.
The Left Protector was loyal to Yao Rong and had great strength, but he was a hot-tempered person.
Hearing what the Right Protector said, the Left Protector really couldn't stand it and his tone became hesitant: "This..."
Yao Rong was secretly observing the Right Protector from the side.
The Right Protector entered Juexian Pavilion after Yao Rong became the Pavilion Master.
He was originally just an ordinary disciple, but because too many people died in Juexian Pavilion, the shortage of manpower was extremely serious. He soon stood out with his strength and brains, and climbed step by step to the position of Right Protector, becoming the third person in Juexian Pavilion.
Such a person is not lacking in scheming, means and strength.
But just like the Right Protector looked down on the Left Protector, Yao Rong also looked down on the Right Protector.
He was too hasty.
If the original body had not always been immersed in hatred and revenge had not been the only motivation for the original body to live, how could he be led by the nose by the Right Protector.
"Pavilion Master, what do you think?" The Left Protector hesitated for a moment and chose to look at Yao Rong.
Yao Rong looked up at the night sky and said calmly: "You two are the people I trust most in the pavilion, and there are some things I will not hide from you."
"I have been eager for success in the past few years, and some problems have occurred in my body. Now my strength has made a breakthrough, but it has also left some troubles."
The Right Protector was slightly startled by this unexpected situation.
The left guardian said anxiously, "Master, how do you feel now?"
Yao Rong waved his sleeves and said calmly, "Nothing serious. I asked you to come here tonight to tell you that I will go to the back mountain for retreat in a few days. During my retreat, all the affairs of the pavilion will be entrusted to you two."
The left and right guardians bowed and agreed.
Yao Rong used his light skill and his figure was astonished, completely disappearing from the sight of the left and right guardians.
Just looking at this light skill, no one would think that Yao Rong had a problem with his body.
The left guardian looked solemn and turned away.
The right guardian followed him, and after some preparation, he quietly asked, "I've never heard that the Pavilion Master has any health problems before..."
The left guardian denied, "The Pavilion Master is a martial arts master, and these minor problems can be solved by seclusion for a few days."
The right guardian's eyes flashed.
If it was just a seclusion for a few days, Yao Rong would not have specially entrusted the affairs of the Pavilion to them.
"What the Left Protector said makes sense. I just think it's a pity to miss such a good opportunity. The Xuyang Sect has been prosperous for long enough. It would be wonderful if we could bring them down to the bottom when they are at their most prosperous."
The Left Protector sighed, and his tone was not as tough as before: "You and I both think it's a pity to miss this opportunity, let alone the leader?"
The Left Protector was completely uninterested in talking, waved his hand and left. The
Right Protector stood there for a moment, walked to the backyard, and asked someone about Yao Rong's whereabouts today.
Knowing that Yao Rong went to Su Yingxi's yard not long after he left the hall, the Right Protector nodded.
He felt that he understood.
First of all, he could be ruled out from being exposed.
After all, Yao Rong's reliance and trust in him was obvious, and she even gave him the task of gathering intelligence.
Things should be like this:
the strength of the Demon Cult is respected, and as the leader of the pavilion, Yao Rong must subdue the people under her and must not show weakness. So after Yao Rong came out of retreat some time ago, she did have some problems with her body, and the problems were not small. She did not tell anyone and healed her injuries silently.
But this afternoon, he ran over and told her about the sword-discussing conference, urging Yao Rong to attack the Xuyang Sect.
The Xuyang Sect wiped out Yao Rong's family, killed Yao Rong's husband and father-in-law, and caused Yao Rong's daughter to "fall off a cliff". With Yao Rong's hatred for the Xuyang Sect, she must have wanted to attack the Xuyang Sect immediately.
But she couldn't do it.
After being provoked by him, she was unwilling to heal her wounds slowly.
So Yao Rong called him and the left protector and handed over the affairs of the pavilion to them.
What is certain is that there must be something seriously wrong with Yao Rong's body.
As for her lightness skill just now?
It's normal. She would not show a weak posture in front of them. She was able to reveal a few words to them because they were her confidants.
If Yao Rong really couldn't even perform lightness skill, the right protector would suspect that Yao Rong was setting a trap for him.
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, the right protector's brows did not relax, but wrinkled even tighter.
If Yao Rong did not kill the Xuyang Sect at the sword-fighting conference, wouldn't his plan with the leader of the Xuyang Sect be in vain? If he
missed such a good opportunity, how long would he have to wait for the next one?
He was already the third most important person in Juexian Pavilion. If he continued to be an undercover agent, he would never be the most important person in Juexian Pavilion.
With something on his mind, the Right Protector did not sleep all night.
At dawn the next day, under the cover of fog, the Right Protector knocked on the door of a disciple and handed a note to the disciple.
The disciple put away the letter, disguised himself, and quietly went to the servant's residence to find the servant who was responsible for buying food every day.
A quarter of an hour later, the servant pushed a cart down the mountain with a few empty bamboo baskets scattered in the cart.
When they reached a deserted place at the foot of the mountain, the handyman lifted the straw covering the bamboo basket, took out the pigeon hidden inside, threw it hard, and the pigeon flapped its wings and flew away. After
watching the pigeon fly away, the handyman covered the basket with straw again, pushed the cart and continued on his way. What
he didn't know was that a few meters away from him, Yao Rong was standing leisurely on the branch of a tree.
She held a longbow in her hand, without any movement, just quietly watching the pigeon fly away.
