Chapter 2 Chapter 2 This guy named Yundu has a terrible sense of aesthetics...
"My Lord, where are we going?" Nan Huang asked.
Wei Xin came to Yunlai Town, which was protected by the Qingguan Sect. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and guests came in droves. It was a prosperous and peaceful place. Naturally, it was also very close to the Qingguan Sect's mountain gate.
In front of him was the largest inn in the area. He looked up and said, "This is it."
Dong Ying immediately went in to take care of things, followed closely by Nan Huang, attracting the attention of countless people.
After entering the room, Wei Xin looked at her and said unhappily, "Take off all the pearls and jade from your head."
“It’s a rare occasion for me to go out with the Lord, so I dressed up specially. Doesn’t it look good?” Nan Huang asked, touching the red, green, gold and pink hairpins on her head.
"It's ugly." Dongying replied.
“I’m not wearing it for you to see, you’re blind.” Nan Huang scolded.
Wei Xin glanced at the sky outside the window, drove the two quarreling people out of the room, and after dark, he went to Qingguan Sect alone.
The Qingguan Sect was located on the top of a cliff. There were many checkpoints at the foot of the mountain, but to Wei Xin, they were all child's play.
He easily reached the main peak, followed the tracking talisman to find Xu Shun's residence, and hid outside the door.
Candles were flickering in the house. Yun Jin was applying medicine to Xu Shun and telling him to have a good rest.
While enjoying this moment of tenderness, Xu Shun promised to become stronger and never let his master fall into danger again.
Wei Xin sneered in his heart.
Yun Jin’s cultivation level is not low, and perhaps this is also the reason why the assassination attempt failed last time.
But Xu Shun’s current cultivation level is lower than Yun Jin’s, so he can always be killed, right?
After Yun Jin finished applying the medicine and left, he swept the candle on the table, flicked his finger, and the candle flew towards Xu Shun.
A soft light appeared around Xu Shun, and the flames gradually went out.
Wei Xin frowned.
"Who?!" Xu Shun noticed the movement and immediately chased after him with sword in hand.
Wei Xin randomly changed his face and fought with him, observing his movements, and found that he was indeed a water spirit root, no wonder he could withstand the attack of the candlelight.
"Who are you?!" Xu Shun had been fighting for a long time and was losing more and more. He was getting more and more exhausted, but he didn't recognize this strange face. The opponent seemed to be hiding his strength, not letting him figure out what his moves were.
Fighting would inevitably attract other people, so Wei Xin no longer wasted time. He reached into his chest, crushed the golden elixir in his body, and then disappeared into the night.
With his golden elixir destroyed and injured so severely, he would either die or be disabled.
Wei Xin spent his days leisurely in the inn. Apart from practicing, he just stayed in his room studying the book and rarely went out.
Nan Huang went out every day and came back to report to him the various news he had learned in the town.
"The leader of the Qingguan Sect will also ascend to heaven and transcend the tribulation in a few days."
"The third elder of the Qingguan Sect went on a long journey, but his disciples were very weak and were suppressed by the disciples of the other two elders."
"I heard that Fairy Yunjin of the Qingguan Sect is particularly beautiful. I think it's exaggerated. These people have never seen my beauty."
"That fairy Yun Jin also accepted a very talented disciple, but unfortunately his golden elixir was destroyed by someone, hehe."
Wei Xin finally responded, opened his eyes and sat up: "Have you seen that disciple?"
“No, I heard he’s very handsome, but certainly not as handsome as you, my lord!” Nan Huang said in a very servile manner.
"Nonsense." Wei Xin lay down again.
A few days later, Dongying got important news and came to report to him: "The leader of Qingguan Sect failed to survive the catastrophe and died."
"What?" Wei Xin was a little surprised. "This old guy is gone? Is the news accurate?"
"There is no mistake. Before he passed away, he passed on his remaining cultivation to his disciples. His body and soul were destroyed. The Qingguan Sect is preparing for his funeral!" Dong Ying's stern face gradually became excited when talking about this.
Hearing this, Nan Huang said thankfully, “Thanks to your great magical powers, even if you failed to overcome the tribulation, you are still unscathed! Unlike that old man, who was killed by a single strike of lightning.”
Wei Xin felt a little relieved. Just as he was lamenting the fickleness of fate, he paused and turned to look at Dong Ying: "Wait... to which disciple did he pass on his cultivation?"
"He seems to be a disciple of Fairy Yunjin, his name is Xu Shun."
"......"
Damn!
This can't kill?
Even though the golden elixir was destroyed, he still gained cultivation from the sect master. Begging is not that easy, right? !
Wei Xin didn't believe it, so he took advantage of the dark night and strong wind when the people of Qingguan Sect were busy with the funeral arrangements and sneaked in and set fire to Xu Shun's house.
Three days later, Dongying reported: "There was a fire inexplicably in the Qingguan Sect, which completely burned down a house. The person living in it happened to be Yunjin's disciple."
"Was he burned to death?" Wei Xin asked schadenfreude.
"No, his own golden elixir was destroyed, and he suddenly received the old sect master's internal force. His body couldn't bear it, so he was adjusting his internal force. This fire actually gave birth to his fire spiritual root. He is now a genius with two spiritual roots."
Wei Xin: “…”
Damn! Damn! Damn!
He once again launched a sneak attack, knocked out all the guards, and brazenly carried away Xu Shun, who was in meditation, and threw him into the forest of beasts.
A few days later——
"I don't know who offended Yun Jin, that disciple, and he was thrown into the forest of beasts, where he became a desperate mess. When he was rescued, he was covered in blood. It was a tragic case, hey." Dong Ying laughed as he spoke.
"Did he die this time?" Wei Xin asked impatiently.
"No, he turned misfortune into fortune and got a spiritual pet."
Wei Xin: How abominable, how abominable, how abominable!
Will those who cannot be killed eventually make Xu Shun stronger? !
Xu Shun in the book did not experience this series of circumstances, but after all this chaos, not only did Wei Xin not kill Xu Shun, but it gave him more opportunities.
Wei Xin completely verified the idea that Xu Shunyun and Jin could not be killed by him, but at the same time, it also proved another thing - the plot of the story can also be changed.
He read again the ending about himself in the book.
When he was about to die, everyone seemed to have forgotten about him and turned to discuss the disposal of the Red Blood Pearl. Everyone had their own plans and argued endlessly, and the alliance was almost stabbed in the back. In the end, it was the righteous and aloof heroine who decided to completely destroy the Red Blood Pearl to stop this farce.
The only person who can destroy the Red Blood Pearl is Xu Shun.
Wei Xin put down the book and used his strength to check the condition of the Red Blood Pearl.
After the thunderstorm, there were cracks, so the power was greatly reduced.
Having this red blood bead in his body was both a blessing and a curse; it gave him power, but also brought him countless hatred.
Some people fear the power of the Red Blood Pearl, and naturally there are others who covet it greedily.
How many people come to fight for the Red Blood Pearl under the pretext of justice and revenge?
As for whether or not to restore the Red Blood Pearl to its original appearance, he still needs to consider it further.
However......
He opened the book again and repeatedly stroked the few lines in the last chapter -
"The Demon Sect's vitality has been severely damaged, the Red Blood Pearl has been destroyed, and there will no longer be a person like Wei Xin in the world.
There was a pile of ashes on the ground, trampled by several people. Everyone returned to their respective seats, each doing their own job, and continued to guard the faith in their hearts.
The crowd dispersed, and Xu Shun inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure. It was Master Yundu who had not appeared for a long time.
He came quietly, picked up handfuls of ashes from the ground, put them into a glass bottle, and then left quietly.
Xu Shun didn't understand why he took the ashes away, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"Why don't you ask!" Wei Xin couldn't help but yelled at the book.
He also wanted to know what Yun Du wanted to do by taking his ashes away? !
He doesn't even know this guy named Yun Du!
The book describes the first disciple named Yundu as aloof, noble, and mysterious. He behaves in a low profile and stays in seclusion all year round. However, he has a very high prestige and is respectfully addressed as Master Yundu by outsiders.
Yun Du does not appear in many scenes in the book. He only appears when the hero and heroine are in trouble or injured, and then he goes into seclusion to practice.
Why did he take away the ashes of such a person who had nothing to do with him?
Could it be that they felt that this devil's death was not worth it and scattered his ashes on purpose?
It seems...it doesn't have to be so troublesome.
He looked at his two subordinates. Having stayed in Yunlai Town for nearly two months, they had heard a lot about the Qingguan Sect. He asked, "Do you know Yundu?"
Dongying: “He is very strong.”
Nan Huang: “He’s very handsome!”
Wei Xin wondered: "Have you seen them all?"
He had heard of this person, but they had never met before, so he didn't know him well.
Two people: "No, I've heard of it."
Wei Xin pointed at Dong Ying: "Be more specific, how strong is he?"
Dongying: "I'm not sure about that. I only know that the disciples of the Qingguan Sect admire him very much. He rarely shows up, so I'm afraid even they themselves don't know his strength."
Wei Xin hesitated for a moment, and seeing Nan Huang's impatient expression, he asked casually, "Then you tell me."
"I heard he's very handsome!"
"Um?"
“Of course he is not as handsome as you, my Lord.” Nan Huang immediately changed his words.
"Nonsense." Wei Xin lay down and ordered, "Go and check this man's background for me."
"yes!"
After the subordinates left, the room became clean again.
He started thinking about Xu Shunyun's affair again. He was very depressed about it and wanted to find someone to discuss it with.
So he took out the talisman and wrote: Do you have an immortal enemy?
The other party replied: Yes.
He asked: How did you solve it?
The other person: Be friends with him.
Wei Xin: Is it effective?
Other party: It’s unknown yet. I’m not sure whether I can be considered his friend.
Wei Xin touched his chin and thought it was worth a try.
Since there is currently no way to kill the two of them, then the next best thing is to avoid ending up in ruins.
As the Lord of Demons, these two would definitely not associate with him, but what if he turned over a new leaf, became a good person, and pretended to be friends with them?
Don't they, the upright people, always boast that they are willing to go through thick and thin for their friends?
What will they do with him then?
Wei Xin suddenly became very curious about the answer.
About an hour later, Dongying and Nanhuang came back one after another with the news they had gathered.
"This Yundu has never participated in any major battles, nor has he been involved in the affairs of the Qingguan Sect. He is elusive and most likely you can't find him. His presence is very low. I heard that several elders went to look for him together, but he dared not see them."
As soon as Dongying finished reporting, Nanhuang couldn't wait to show off his achievements: "My Lord, I got his portrait!"
The scroll was spread out, and the three of them stared at the person in the painting carefully. After a while, Wei Xin pointed at the painting expressionlessly and asked, "What is this painting?"
“This is a picture of a banquet held a thousand years before the founding of the Qingguan Sect. I stole it with great difficulty.” Nan Huang said proudly.
"Then tell me, where is Yundu?"
Nan Huang's finger swept across the crowded crowd, pointed at a group of people discussing in the upper right corner, and then tapped one of them: "It should be him."
Wei Xin narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure?"
“Or…it’s him?” Nan Huang pointed to the person next to him tremblingly.
There were at least several thousand people in the painting. Nan Huang had never seen Yun Du's true face, so naturally he couldn't know exactly who he was. He could only point out a few people based on his intuition: "These are the more handsome ones. He should be one of them, right?"
"Get out." Wei Xin said coldly.
The two of them went out trembling.
Wei Xin picked up the painting and was about to tear it into pieces, but suddenly he paused, flattened it out again, stared at the group of people on the upper right, and leaned closer to take a look.
Among them, an old man and a young man were handing over something, and what the young man took with both hands was a glass bottle.
He cut out the man's portrait, which was only about two inches long. The painting only showed a profile, and the facial features were sketched with just a few strokes, so it was impossible to identify the man's true face.
But that glass bottle is worth studying. Could it be that this will be his urn in the future?
Tsk, this bare broken bottle looks uglier and uglier the more I look at it.
This guy called Yundu has a terrible sense of aesthetics!
