Chapter 384 Kill Me Until I Die
"The headmaster and the elders actually agreed to this...?"
"Didn't Elder Dan Xunzi say that this isn't a compromise or concession, nor is it about forgetting hatred. It's for the sake of the human race, and it's the righteous cause of our Dan Sect."
"But he agreed so readily that the head teacher didn't even say a word the entire time."
Behind the Tianji Hall of Danzong, in the Nine-Curved Corridor of Changfenglin.
A group of Dan Sect disciples who had returned from the master's bedroom were gathered here, discussing the fact that the master had simply taken over the matters entrusted by the five major immortal sects.
Their confusion was not because the master actually agreed, but because the master agreed so readily.
To be honest, they thought that Danzong would make those disciples of Xianzong kneel in front of the martyrdom monument and confess their sins before they would consider agreeing to the matter of the holy land of the sages.
In fact, the reason why the five major immortal sects sent such a large number of disciples must have been that they had the idea of pacifying the anger of the Dan Sect, but they never expected that the sect leader did not put forward any conditions.
Even the head master did not speak during the entire meeting in the bedroom. All decisions were read out by Elder Dan Xunzi.
All these things caused the disciples in the corridor to discuss endlessly.
At the same time, Ji You, who had left the master's bedroom, was sitting in a tea pavilion on the north mountain of Danzong, looking at the lush green forest.
This was the hill where he fought with Chen Ke, the elder of the Chen family, more than a year ago. There was still a huge ravine on the outward slope caused by the sword energy. It was only reinforced with ropes but not filled.
In fact, he was somewhat surprised by Danzong's positive feedback.
Because he was also prepared for the possibility that Danzong would require the disciples of the five major immortal sects to apologize, but the disciples of the five major immortal sects would refuse, thus causing a small-scale conflict.
Unexpectedly, everything went so smoothly, and a meeting in the bedroom lasting only half an hour decided everything.
However, although it was unexpected, he did not think that Danzong did anything wrong.
Because the five major immortal sects are unlikely to continue to make concessions, and the Dan Sect still has no ability to protect itself, and there is also a need to worry about whether the immortal sects will turn against it after the holy land of the sages is repaired.
But even if we don't put forward any more conditions, it wouldn't be excessive to leave everyone hanging for a few days.
He received a response the next day, which was something he had never expected.
Dan Yangzi once said that the Dan Sect was a sect that would remember pain, and such a reaction was clearly inconsistent with their temperament.
Just as Ji You was thinking, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the mountain road below.
Ji You turned his head and saw who it was, then he stood up and helped himself to the table.
"The matter of the Holy Land of the Sages has caused me to discuss it with the elders of the sect for many days. I didn't visit you the first time. Please forgive me."
"Master, you are too kind. After the five major immortal sects besieged Danshan, Danzong was willing to reopen the mountain gate, which was already a great honor for Ji You."
Ji You responded, and then saw Yuan Li walking up the mountain and coming to the tea pavilion.
The Danzong medicine pool has the effect of slowing down the aging of the human body, so Yuan Li does not look old from his body shape, but if you look at his expression, you can see the vicissitudes of time.
According to rumors, the leader of the Dan Sect worked hard for the Dan Sect all his life, and only had Yuan Caiwei and Yuan Chen very late in life.
Perhaps it was because of this that the generation gap between Yuan Li and Yuan Chen was so deep that his brother-in-law always wanted to run down the mountain and was full of rejection of the life arranged by his father.
Yuan Li sat down in the tea pavilion at this time. After thinking for a while, he said, "Elder Yang received Master Ji yesterday and then returned to the palace to report to me. It is said that Master Ji played a great role in rescuing the human race from the disaster. He can even be considered a benefactor of the Immortal Sect."
"Forget about the title of Immortal Sect's benefactor. It's a bit uncomfortable."
"It seems that the young master does have some complaints about the Immortal Sect."
Ji You didn't know Yuan Li's purpose for coming, but he sensed he was eager to talk, so he poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him. "Excessive combat power will make the world extremely unbalanced, making it difficult to develop. The sages of thousands of years ago existed to help humanity survive, but the Immortal Sect is something that shouldn't have existed."
After hearing this, Yuan Li couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever heard of the Chu family?"
"Chu family?"
"The old story about the Chu family's Seven-Aperture Exquisite Body attracting the covetousness of the Immortal Sect."
Ji You then realized what he was talking about, and nodded: "I've heard of it. I even heard a piece of unofficial history that said that the ancestor of the Chu family who was dissected as a test subject was dissected alive."
Yuan Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he even knew about live autopsy.
You have to know that that was a long, long time ago, and no one knows how many generations have passed since then.
Moreover, Youzhou is under the control of Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion. Few people dare to mention this matter. Even the Chu family's family history does not dare to write about this matter too clearly. Only those who have experienced that incident and have close ties with the Chu family will know the truth.
However, when he learned that Ji You knew that the Chu family's ancestor had been dissected alive, he became even more curious about Ji You's sword move.
"Since you knew this, did you hesitate when you drew your sword at the Heavenly Dao Altar?"
"Why hesitate?"
"Because the Chu family also seeks revenge and to wash away hundreds of years of humiliation."
"That's not revenge."
"?"
Ji You picked up the teacup and said, "If the Chu family's actions can be considered revenge, then they have avenged themselves, but who should the people they killed turn to for revenge?"
Yuan Li was silent for a long time after hearing this: "Young Master, when will you stop the cycle of revenge?"
"No, I'm one of those who will avenge a grudge, but the revenge I believe in should be honorable and not involve piling up the lives of unrelated people or doing things that would make a dragon a dragon in the name of slaying a dragon."
"What would Master Ji do if he were in the Chu family's situation?"
Ji You looked up at Yuan Li and said, "If you can't kill the master, kill his direct disciple. If you can't kill the direct disciple, kill the elders. If you can't kill the elders, kill their descendants."
Yuan Li pinched the teacup: "But the holy weapon suppressed Qingyun, and this kind of revenge will eventually lead to death."
"Then my revenge is to kill me until I die."
After hearing what Ji You said, Yuan Li's eyes trembled for a moment, and then he fell into astonishment and silence.
In fact, since last night, he has been wondering whether the Chu family's revenge can be considered as revenge.
This matter was very important to him, because if it was considered revenge, he would feel that the sin of killing on his part would not be so heavy.
But it was not until this moment that he realized that what the Chu family did was not revenge.
Because revenge should only have two results: he dies, or you die, and there should not be anyone taking his place, and there should not be countless innocent souls sacrificed for this.
Then, the head of the Dan Sect began to understand his father.
My father secretly helped the Chu family to establish its own family because the weak should pity the equally weak, and should not wantonly deprive the lives of the weaker in the name of revenge.
"Regarding the human race's disaster, Sect Leader Yuan seems to be more in favor of the Chu family?"
"It's because the Dan Sect also experienced a dark turmoil back then, so when I think of the Chu family's past, I feel a sense of empathy and sadness."
Yuan Li felt that Ji You seemed to have noticed something, so after explaining, he changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Ji, did you have a good rest in Danshan yesterday?"
Cough, cough, Ji You choked on his tea.
He didn't expect Yuan Li's tone to change so quickly, nor did he expect him to ask this.
This is actually a very common greeting that often appears in conversations between hosts and guests. It can also be regarded as a signal to end the previous topic and does not have much practical meaning.
But the problem was that Ji You had stayed in someone else's daughter's bedroom yesterday, and had been so vicious that the girl had cried all night. It was too scary to be asked this question suddenly, and he felt unable to answer.
Yuan Li also thought of his disciples' report yesterday that Ji You did not rest in the backyard of Yuheng Palace. His eyes twitched slightly and his face turned a little dark.
But he quickly calmed down and said to Ji You, "I think Master Ji will never let Caiwei fall into danger in the future."
"Of course not."
"Then please bless Yuanchen for Caiwei's sake."
"Yuan Chen has called me brother-in-law for five years, and I will definitely not let anything happen to him."
Ji You nodded in agreement, but his brows couldn't help but frown slightly. He felt that Yuan Li's words seemed to have a hint of entrusting his son to someone else, but he couldn't tell whether it was his illusion.
In fact, what Yuan Li was worried about was still being involved in the thousand-year-old family joining forces to do evil.
Because he still didn't know who kidnapped his daughter and led his son down the mountain, and he didn't know where the person who came to Danzong with Chu Xiong was now.
There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world, and there are people who know about this matter who are still hiding in the world. It is natural for him to worry about being exposed. The meaning of entrusting the orphan to someone else just now comes from this.
In fact, as early as when Ji You killed the five Wujiang on Dan Mountain, Yuan Li knew that his daughter and son had someone to rely on. What's more, he forcibly tore open the Tiandao Sacrifice and killed Chu Xian, the previous saint of Xuanyuan, in the midst of murderous energy.
After drinking the tea, Yuan Li stood up from the tea pavilion.
Opening the holy land of the ancient sages is not something that can be accomplished by one person alone, and repairing the cracked holy land is even more difficult.
So he had to mobilize troops and set off as soon as possible to put an end to the evil that had been caused by the thousand-year-old family joining forces.
After watching Yuan Li and Ji You go away, he poured the tea into the ditch, then put away the tea set and went down the mountain.
In addition to asking Danzong to repair the holy land of the sages, he had another purpose in going to Danshan, which was to use Danzong's medicine pool to break through.
As his physical realm continued to improve, the amount of spiritual energy he needed became greater and greater, and ordinary places could no longer satisfy him.
The last time he broke through Ji Village, he consumed a large amount of spirit stones and almost failed due to lack of follow-up. Of course, he would not miss the opportunity to use the medicine pool.
Ji You walked along the road to the back mountain and came to the medicine pool behind the small building in the bamboo forest. He faintly heard a faint sound of water.
As he pushed open the bamboo door, the sound of splashing water stopped instantly.
In the misty pool, Yuan Caiwei was sitting in the medicine pool with her snow-white skin. Her delicate skin was steamed white and rosy by the heat. When she saw Ji You, her cheeks turned red and her eyes suddenly became soft.
She got up early in the morning, but did not dare to move until noon, so she hurried to take a bath.
After being shy for a long time, she couldn't help but move her body slightly from the middle of the medicine pool to the west side, leaving an empty space.
“…”
"Palace Master, the Dan Sect has sent a message."
"So soon?"
On the afternoon of the Grain Rain season, in Shengjing Fairy Garden, Zuo Qiuyang was sitting on the viewing tower watching his disciples discuss Taoism when he received a letter from the Office of Administration.
At the same time, other disciples of the Immortal Sect also hurried up the corridor and handed out the message sent by their own disciples.
The letter said that Danzong had agreed to restore the holy land of the sages and had already set out from Liangzhou, which surprised those who read the letter.
You know, it takes at least two days and nights to travel from Shengjing to Danzong, and that's when the carriages are equipped with magical instruments. If Danzong puts forward more conditions or deliberately leaves everyone out, the negotiations will take at least half a month to produce results. Who would have thought that the response would be so quick.
The news that Danzong had opened its mountain gate spread quickly and immediately caused a lot of discussion.
Many people do not know the inside story, but they still wonder why Danzong was asked to open the mountain gate when the mountain was closed.
You should know that when they announced the closure of the sect, countless noble families rushed there, fearing that there would be no more elixirs available. But in the end, not even half a disciple of the Dan Sect was seen.
But soon, their doubts were answered.
Because only one day later, a disciple returned to Shengjing by riding the wind.
With the return of these people, the events that happened to the five major immortal sects on their journey to Danshan gradually spread.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect encountered different treatment when they went up the mountain, and the disciples of the Dan Sect looked at them with vigilance and hatred, which made many disciples of the Immortal Sect and the aristocratic families furious.
But when someone talked about the martyrdom monument on Danshan Mountain, the majestic statue that forever guarded the mountain, and the five deceased elders of the Immortal Sect, everyone fell into silence in astonishment.
Just like the people who went up the mountain at the beginning, they also remembered that spring day when the five major immortal sects searched the whole city for people related to Ji You.
They also thought of the time when everyone was sneering at Ji You for finally offending the Immortal Sect because of his arrogant nature, but he appeared openly at the Immortal Touring Meeting.
They didn't know the inside story at first, and only now knew that Ji You had killed five people alone and forced the five major immortal sects to retreat from Danshan.
However, soon, the Wendao Sect, Shanhai Pavilion and the Chen Immortal Clan secretly ordered that no further discussion was allowed.
They naturally knew that sending disciples up the mountain would definitely lead to hostility from the Dan Sect, and even the news that they surrounded the mountain and forced the Dan Sect to borrow the alchemist might leak out.
But they didn't expect that Danzong would actually erect a martyrdom monument and even erect a statue for Ji You.
This incident was detrimental to the reputation of the Immortal Sect, so they naturally could not allow the situation to escalate. Therefore, they could only rely on their power to suppress the discussion.
But just as those who went to Danshan discussed on the mountain, Yongzhen Mountain was not only suppressed on the mountain, but also in everyone's hearts.
Especially Shang Xiyao, Huo Xingzhong, Chen Luo and other direct disciples, who later appeared at the discussion meeting, all had very complicated expressions.
They are all the next generation leaders of their own immortal sects, so naturally they are qualified to have statues erected.
But they knew that erecting a statue at the gate of their own mountain was nothing to brag about. What they could brag about was erecting a statue in someone else's temple that was recognized by the entire sect.
The three major immortal sects suppressed the discussions in the city and prevented the incident from escalating, but they found that even their own disciples began to seem mentally unstable.
Regarding this, the high-ranking officials of the Immortal Sects were also extremely silent.
Being the Son of God, they are destined to be respected, but in fact, the reason why their status is noble is more due to the bonus of their bloodline.
Because they were born well and have good talents, they will become the most distinguished figures in Qingyun in the future. This seemed to be no problem at all in the past.
But when a person comes from a humble background, but has the same moonlight as these saints, their reputation is greatly reduced in comparison.
"Why are there several fewer streets in Shengjing and several more buildings?"
"After the demons from Linxian Realm attacked Tianshuyuan, they destroyed several streets. Most of the buildings here were built later."
The Holy Land of the Sages is located in the southeast of Shengjing. You can choose to pass through Shengjing, but you can also choose not to take this route.
Yuan Li was concerned about the situation in the holy land of the sages, so he headed directly to the north of Zhongzhou.
The Yuan siblings who followed Ji You changed their route to the west and headed to Shengjing before heading to the holy land of the sages. The main reason was that Yuan Caiwei felt that she had not seen the little master Jian for a long time and wanted to see her sisters.
At noon, as the carriage coming from the south stopped in front of Wuliu Trading Company, the curtain was gently lifted, Yuan Caiwei and Yuan Chen got off the carriage, waited for Ji You to enter, and then slowly followed.
Yan Shuyi was drinking tea in the courtyard at this time. When he saw Yuan Caiwei entering with Ji You, his beautiful phoenix eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
The last time they met was in the New Year two years ago. They shared a bed because of the elixir, and they haven't seen each other since the two flowers bloomed.
Because they had seen each other's snow-white skin and watery eyes constantly crying, the meeting between the two seemed a little unnatural.
"Sister Jianzhu, how are you?"
"It's been a long time since we last met. I hope you're all well, Sister Caiwei."
After Yan Shuyi finished speaking, he quietly looked at Yuan Caiwei's flat belly, then felt a little relieved. He turned to look at Ji You, with a hint of fierce sword-like aura in his eyes.
"It's so scary for the two sisters to meet." Yuan Chen touched his cold arm when he saw this.
Ji You was very sensitive to his brother-in-law's trembling, and he focused on the scene where the two sisters' cheeks were slightly red when they looked at each other.
Scary? Not really. Don't be fooled by their serious and mysterious appearance. In fact, each of them is worse than the other in bed.
"How long does Sister Caiwei plan to stay in Shengjing?"
"I made a detour to Shengjing specifically to see Sister Jianzhu. I'll be going to look for my father in a few days. Where's Sister Jianzhu?"
Yuan Caiwei answered obediently and asked politely.
Yan Shuyi handed her the poured tea and said, "The discussion will soon be over. I won't stay long. I need to return to the sect with my disciples."
"Has the news about Shengjing been reported back to Lingzhou?" Ji You couldn't help but look at his own arrogant ghost after hearing the answer.
"I reported it a few days ago. There's a lot of discussion going on in Spirit Sword Mountain right now, and it seems to be getting more intense. While I don't need to explain my personal affairs to the disciples, I can't let it get out of hand."
The young master looked at his little disciple from the Tianshu Academy and couldn't help but silently call him a bastard.
The so-called "Shenyang affair" refers to the relationship between the two of them. After the news of this matter was passed back to Lingjian Mountain, it quickly broke the illusion that Lingjian Mountain would marry into the Wending Sect, and set off a wave of public opinion.
After all, thanks to his father's painstaking efforts, everyone at Xuanjian Peak has always been close to the Wending Sect.
Now that the wind direction has changed drastically, if she doesn't return to the mountain for a long time, those disciples who have been close to the Wending Sect for a long time will probably have different thoughts.
Ji You had discussed this matter with Yan Shuyi before going to Danzong, and proposed to go back to the mountain with Yan Shuyi at that time. As a result, the arrogant ghost responded that the disciples of Xiaoxiaotian Academy were just wishful thinking.
In fact, Yan Shu also wanted to take her back to the mountain, just like she couldn't help but want to show off after everyone knew that she had a husband.
But the relatives of Xuanjian Peak are different from the onlookers. This matter concerns their interests, so their attitudes will definitely be completely different.
This choice was made by her, and she has never been the type to hide behind a man when encountering problems.
While speaking, Yuan Caiwei suddenly glanced at the flashing jade pendant on her waist.
This jade token is with my father. It seems that my father and the elders have arrived safely at the holy land of the sages.
"The aura has already overflowed outside the forest. It seems that there are indeed many cracks. No wonder the five major immortal sects are so nervous..."
"Go in and take a look at the situation first."
In the northwest of Zhongzhou, on the outskirts of the holy land of the sages, the disciples of the Dan Sect got off the carriages and began to enter the dense forest, stepping on the piled up dead leaves, making rustling sounds.
After two hours, they finally arrived at the valley with countless ravines, and for the first time saw the void cracks that filled the entire mountain.
Looking up, they found it hard to imagine what kind of force could penetrate them from the inside out.
Yuan Li stared at the hilltop for a long time, then turned to look at Dan Yangzi: "Tell the disciples to first find out the number of cracks and sort them by size."
"yes."
In the dark forests of Zhongzhou, the disciples of Danzong quickly dispersed and began to travel through mountains and rivers to investigate.
After half a day's work, they had recorded all the space cracks in a book and numbered them.
After everyone discussed it, Yuan Li ordered to concentrate their efforts and planned to repair them one by one from small to large.
As countless rays of light surged from the mountain peak, a figure emerged from the darkness. After observing the forest for a long time, he calculated the speed of repairs and then quietly left in the shadows...
