Chapter 404
Elder Xu was hovering in the sky above Taiyi City, roughly sweeping the area with his spiritual sense. In his opinion, the villain who slandered his daughter must still be hiding in Taiyi City. He wanted to see who was so bold as to bully his daughter.
Anyone who could hang someone at the city gate silently without attracting anyone's attention must have a cultivation level above the Nascent Soul stage, so he specifically searches for Nascent Soul cultivators.
He did not hide anything at all, so he soon alarmed all the monks in the city, and they all cried out in surprise.
"Isn't that Elder Xu from Taiyi Sect? Is he here for Fairy Xu?"
"I have already guessed that Elder Xu will not let it go." Moreover, he is so domineering and arrogant, just like the Xu Zhaoyue in the past. One can imagine where Xu Zhaoyue's temper came from. She learned it from her biological father. However, these words can only be thought in her heart. Now Elder Xu is in mid-air. If he hears them, he will probably be crushed to death immediately.
Some Nascent Soul cultivators flew out from their residences because Elder Xu's spiritual sense had stayed on them for quite some time and they had to come out. However, they felt that Elder Xu was too rude. They were all Nascent Soul cultivators, and even if Elder Xu had a higher level of cultivation, he should not be so rude to them.
"Elder Xu, I wonder why Elder Xu came to Taiyi City?"
One by one, the Nascent Soul cultivators flew into the air to greet Elder Xu, but Elder Xu still had a gloomy face and did not respond. It was not until the last Nascent Soul cultivator appeared that he asked gloomily, "Did anyone notice anything unusual last night? Have any new Nascent Soul cultivators come to Taiyi City recently?"
They looked at each other and shook their heads. One person spoke on behalf of everyone: "No, if Elder Xu was talking about the incident at the city gate, we only knew about it after the news spread. I'm afraid some fellow Taoists don't know the whole story yet."
Yes, it has only been a short time since the incident happened. Some cultivators who were staying in the training room were alarmed and ran out. They were completely confused. It was only after hearing a few messages from other fellow Taoists that they realized what had happened.
"New Yuanying Daoists? Have you found any new Yuanying Daoists coming to Taiyi City?"
Everyone looked at each other, not noticing this, and someone asked, "Didn't Elder Xu find it just now?"
These Nascent Soul cultivators who stayed in Taiyi City actually had pretty good relations with Taiyi Sect, and they had been there for quite some time, so they knew each other well. Elder Xu knew that it was impossible to pin this matter on them, and it would only make him attract enemies, but who was it?
Elder Xu suppressed his anger and could only clasp his fists and said, "I am sorry for offending you just now. I hope you can help me be careful. I only have one daughter, Zhaoyue, and I will never tolerate anyone slandering her and ruining her reputation."
Some people sneered in their hearts, how could his daughter have a good reputation? And wasn't it Elder Xu who let her grow up?
But he replied, "Of course, I will help Elder Xu keep an eye out, and I will inform Elder Xu in time if I find anything."
Then these people dispersed, but did not go back. Instead, they watched what Elder Xu would do next and whether the cultivator hiding behind him would show up to confront Elder Xu.
Elder Xu took a deep breath and shouted to the whole city, "Come out! Xu is here. Do you dare to confront him face to face? You cowardly bastard, come out and confront him face to face if you have the guts!"
The sound reached the ears of everyone in the city, including ordinary people. Some ordinary people could not bear the bleeding from all seven orifices, but they could only endure it. What else could they do? After all, the other party was the elder of the high and mighty Taiyi Sect.
Elder Xu's actions were completely within the expectations of Yuan Jing and Ning Yan, otherwise in the plot Elder Xu would not have always been at odds with the male protagonist Zuo Wenlu because of his daughter. However, how could he be a match for Zuo Wenlu, who was the male protagonist, and finally became a cannon fodder under Zuo Wenlu.
The two men did not move at all, nor did they rush out to confront Elder Xu as he wished, because Yuan Jing did not want to know the attitudes of Elder Xu and Xu Zhaoyue. Xu Zhaoyue was already on Yuan Jing's death list, and if Elder Xu insisted on protecting him, he was also their enemy. Yuan Jing cared more about Zuo Wenlu's attitude, so he and Ning Yan were still waiting for Zuo Wenlu's reaction.
If the two of them didn't come out themselves, even if Elder Xu scanned them repeatedly with his spiritual sense, he would not be able to recognize them and would just think they were two Jindan cultivators.
After calling for a long time but no one showed up, Elder Xu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Damn this cowardly little thief.
In a rage, he could only call out the person in charge of Taiyi City and ask him to lead the city guards to search every house carefully and arrest all the suspicious people.
What could the city guards do? They had no choice but to do as he said. As a result, people in Taiyi City were in a panic. After Elder Xu left, they all activated the formation and stayed at home to curse the Xu family, saying that they only knew how to bully others by taking advantage of their power. In their opinion, Elder Xu's move made them believe even more that it was his precious daughter who killed the person.
She pursues a man to the point of wiping out his entire family. How great! Is there any man who dares to marry such a heartless woman?
On the other side, Zuo Wenlu returned to his own mountain and activated the formation. Xu Zhaoyue, who had chased after him, could not get in and shouted in vain outside, but Zuo Wenlu did not respond.
Zuo Wenlu couldn't keep his mind calm. He couldn't calm down and judge the whole thing. After decades, the Zuo family was in front of him again. His former wife and children were the ones he tried his best to avoid, which made him feel unhappy.
After decades, he could not even remember what his wife looked like, let alone his son's name. He did not have deep feelings for his wife, children and tribe members, otherwise, when he met his master and learned that he had the qualifications to practice, he would not have left with his master so easily, leaving his wife, children and tribe members thinking that he had died outside.
But thanks to the improvement of his memory after practicing Taoism, he tried hard to recall the names of his tribesmen, his wife and children.
Zuo Yuanjing, his son's name is Zuo Yuanjing. If there hadn't been that fire, he might have been a grandfather by now. He and he were not from the same world after all, so what if he remembered it? But now these people are dead.
If it was really done by Sister Xu, what should he do? Can he seek revenge from Sister Xu for the sake of his family, wife and children?
But over the years, compared to his wife and children from the tribe whom he hadn't seen for decades, the mark left by Junior Sister Xu in his heart was even deeper.
Junior Sister Xu loves me deeply, would such a Junior Sister Xu harm my entire family?
But there was a voice in his heart telling him that it was not impossible, because Junior Sister Xu had acted so arrogantly back then.
Maybe he should find out who came to avenge the Zuo family. Maybe he has other intentions?
Zuo Wenlu, who remembered his son's name, did not connect the head of Jingyan Sect, Yuan Jing, with Zuo Yuanjing, because in his opinion, the boy was just a mortal who became a stranger to him when he embarked on the path of cultivation. He had his own way to go. Zuo Yuanjing would have settled down in the mortal world and had many descendants. How could he have any connection with the head of Jingyan Sect?
Besides, weren’t they all buried in the sea of fire?
Zuo Wenlu became a little agitated because of this incident, so he simply went into the training room, closed his eyes, and calmed himself down. As a result, no one paid any attention to Xu Zhaoyue outside.
It has been a long time since Senior Brother Zuo came out. Xu Zhaoyue was really scared. She was afraid that Senior Brother Zuo would treat her like he did in his previous life. Why couldn't Qi Yunyun, that woman, threaten her? Why would this matter be exposed? If she had known this day earlier, she should have killed Chen Anchen and the others earlier.
It was all Chen Anchen’s fault for exposing her. Xu Zhaoyue wished she could whip Chen Anchen’s corpse again.
Helplessly, she could only turn back and send someone to keep an eye on Brother Zuo and wait for him to come out so that she could rush over immediately.
As soon as she left, the disciples who had been paying attention to the movements here began to talk about it.
"I didn't expect that Senior Sister Xu still wouldn't give up. Judging from Senior Uncle Zuo's attitude, all of his clansmen really died at the hands of Senior Sister Xu, right? But why?"
Yes, this is what many disciples want. Why do we need to do this? After a hundred years, those who were close to Zuo Wenlu must have entered reincarnation, and it will no longer have any impact on Zuo Wenlu, so why kill them?
Look, now the retribution has come. Do you really think that it won’t be exposed one day?
"What do you think Uncle Zuo will do? Will he avenge his people?"
"Don't forget that Elder Xu is here. Will Elder Xu watch Uncle Zuo deal with Senior Sister Xu? Besides, I don't think Uncle Zuo can do anything to Senior Sister Xu."
The two of them were so close before, but now they turned around and used swords against each other? Because of this incident, Zuo Wenlu's halo dimmed a lot in the eyes of the disciples.
Zuo Wenlu sat there in silence for a whole day and night, and when he came out he was much calmer. He had originally thought about forming a contract with Xu Zhaoyue, but now he knew that it was impossible for him to be with Xu Zhaoyue anymore, unless the annihilation of the Zuo family had nothing to do with Xu Zhaoyue. Even if his feelings for the Zuo family were weak, there was still a causal relationship, and it would be of no benefit to him to continue to be entangled with Xu Zhaoyue.
The next day, Zuo Wenlu packed up and left his cave, heading towards Taiyi City. He needed to meet the person who had exposed the matter.
As soon as Xu Zhaoyue got the news, he rushed over and caught up with Zuo Wenlu.
Zuo Wenlu was much calmer at this moment. Seeing her speak out, he asked, "Does the death of the 86 members of the Zuo family have anything to do with you?"
A hint of guilt flashed across Xu Zhaoyue's eyes, but he firmly denied it: "No, really not, it was Chen Anchen and others who did it." Yes, that's right, he just said it casually, and the people who carried it out were Chen Anchen and others.
Zuo Wenlu saw this guilty conscience and felt bitter in his heart. Why? He really wanted to ask Xu Zhaoyue why she did this. When he finally started to try to put Xu Zhaoyue in his heart, he actually let him know about this.
He looked away and said, "I am going to Taiyi City now to meet the cultivator who exposed this matter. Junior Sister Xu, are you willing to go with me?"
Xu Zhaoyue agreed immediately because she knew that her father was in Taiyi City. With her father around, why would she need to be afraid of the saboteur behind the scenes?
As soon as they left, Peng Siye received news from the mortal world.
