Chapter 111 Xuanyuan Family
"What... is going on?"
One hundred years is not a very long time in the world of cultivation. Some cultivators go into seclusion for more than one hundred years.
Is it possible that the flow rates on both sides are different?
I counted on my fingers and found that there was none.
The speed of time flow on both sides is the same, without any error.
The divine sense swept through the entire city, and there was no one alive, and the demonic aura was strong.
"...Why are the demons so bold?"
Liu Hong was a little confused, and I roughly understood his doubts.
In the past, the battles were fought between righteous cultivators and evil cultivators. When had the demons ever been involved in the wars? It was difficult for the demons to practice cultivation, and they didn’t even have a cultivator who could transcend the tribulation. How could they dare to massacre the city like this? And... why didn’t any cultivator stop them?
Also, we have been out for at least a quarter of an hour, and Ling Ye has not contacted us yet.
I summoned a communication talisman and made a few finger gestures. Now that I have reached the level of Void Realm cultivation, the communication talisman turned into a stream of light and flew towards Ling Ye's position. Then, after a few breaths, I realized that the communication talisman was blocked by something.
Barrier?
Could it be that Ling Ye is in seclusion?
——What kind of situation would make him shut himself up in seclusion at this time?
Liu Hong did not respond to Wang Yu's message.
We looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
"I'm going back to Chongguang Sect, what about you?" I asked Liu Hong.
He put Xiaobai from his shoulder into my arms, "I'm going back to the Demon Realm, brother, please take care of Xiaobai for me." He touched Xiaobai's bird head, and Xiaobai tilted his head, as if he didn't understand what was going on.
"If there's anything, I'll tell you." Then he paused, "You can also come to me if you don't have anything..."
He spoke the last sentence very quietly, and I looked at him.
Well, sorry it's rare to see you.
"That's who didn't contact me for the past three years."
he:……
"Why are you still bringing up old issues?"
His face flushed for a moment, and soon we both nodded and flew off in different directions.
——We can’t contact the cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage that we are familiar with.
Something big must have happened in the world of cultivation.
Those in the Dongxu stage can basically walk sideways in the world of cultivation. Although the Soul-Shaping Pill was not found in the Fangtian Secret Realm, there are several kinds of herbs that may be of use.
But if Liu Yuan doesn't want to be contacted, it would be impossible to find him.
I held Xiaobai in my arms and flew back to Chongguang Sect quickly, but I didn't expect to find that the sect protection formation was opened as soon as I arrived at the sect gate. I frowned and cast a spell on the sect protection formation. Soon, a peak master appeared with a group of disciples.
“…Junior Brother Liu Luan?!”
The leading peak master looked at me in surprise and doubt.
"Uncle Master." I saluted him, "Why is the sect protection formation activated—"
And why is he looking at me so strangely?
"Didn't you... go back to the Xuanyuan family?" he said, "and said you'd have nothing to do with my Chongguang Sect from now on?"
I:……
This is such a shame. How could the Xuanyuan family put such a accusation on me???
"Uncle Master, I said it myself?" I took a deep breath. "My Master also believed it?"
He shook his head, "Big Brother didn't believe it, and... he even injured the Xuanyuan family's messenger who was delivering the letter."
That’s great, luckily it’s my master, he fights well.
"A hundred years ago, I was hunted by the Xuanyuan family and had no choice but to enter a secret realm. I was imprisoned there for a hundred years, and now I am free—so what happened to my master? I can't contact him."
The peak master on the opposite side was horrified.
Sometimes I wonder, as the number one sect in the world, aren't some of the disciples of Chongguang Sect a little too naive?!
Believe what the Xuanyuan family says, and believe what I just said.
Are people with simple minds suitable for cultivating immortals?
"Forget it, come with me to see the head brother first. He knows more..." He looked at me carefully, "It's only been a hundred years since we last met. Even I can't fathom your cultivation level."
He waved his hand to open the formation and let me in. "The situation is complicated now. It is also a good thing for our Chongguang Sect that my nephew has returned."
Very good. What he said made me even more curious about what happened.
Soon, we arrived at the main hall. Probably because they had sent a message in advance, the headmaster and some peak masters were already waiting for me in the main hall. There were also some unfamiliar faces that I didn’t recognize, but I didn’t see Ling Ye.
It turns out that he is in seclusion.
"...Liu Luan, Junior Brother just told me about your situation. Please tell me in detail what happened a hundred years ago."
The Sect Leader still looked at me with suspicion, and I could understand that. I don't know how many accusations the Xuanyuan family had put on me during the hundred years I was away.
So I started by telling the story of how I got the Fang Tian secret order from the Aristocratic Family Gathering Auction, and talked about how Liu Hong and I overcame the tribulation, and then they came to the Xuanyuan family to hunt us down, and I had no choice but to enter the secret realm to hide in advance.
Then came the next hundred years.
——He also knew about Liu Hong’s affairs, so there was nothing to hide. It’s just that I didn’t tell him about Xuanyuan Zhong.
There are still too many people here. The Xuanyuan family is hunting us down for the Xuanyuan Bell, which shows that this thing is very important.
The Sect Master listened to me and pondered for a moment. "When you first crushed the white jade tablet, Ling Ye went there, but he didn't see you. I didn't know why until the Xuanyuan family's envoy arrived."
"The Xuanyuan family said that you and Liu Hong are the legitimate sons of the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Yi's biological children. You were stolen by the demon tribe in your early years, but now you have been found, so you have to go home and be raised in secret."
I:……
So Ling Ye knew that I crushed the white jade token at that time, but I don’t know what means the Xuanyuan family used to stop him?
"Demon tribe?"
"Yes, about five years later, the Xuanyuan family said that after you and Liu Hong learned of what happened, you personally went deep into the demon tribe to capture the demon who stole you two. You two disappeared in the demon tribe, and the Xuanyuan family took the opportunity to declare war on the demon tribe and force them to hand you two over. And in the past hundred years, you two have not appeared again, so we all believed the Xuanyuan family's words."
...Isn't this just another case of the blame being thrown at me?
But when I think of the scene that Liu Hong and I saw when we came out, it was more like the demons overwhelmingly slaughtering the human race rather than the Xuanyuan family trying to wipe out the demon race.
"...If that's the case, why did my master start his death retreat?"
Whatever I could think of, the Sect Leader could naturally guess after knowing where Liu Hong and I were going, so I asked what I wanted to know most.
"Because the demon race got a treasure from nowhere."
The headmaster sighed and waved his hand in the air. A water mirror appeared, reflecting a huge balance.
"The demon race has placed the entire race's destiny on one side and sworn an oath: as long as no one ascends from this world, this object will remain useful, thereby restraining the human race," he said. "If this balance is broken, both the demon race and the human race will be destroyed."
...Isn't this just using Ka Tiandao's BUG to strengthen itself?
Of course, Heaven hopes that someone can ascend, but the spiritual energy today is not as good as it was a thousand years ago, making ascension difficult. Therefore, Heaven will give some preferential treatment to some races that are difficult to practice - but the demon race took this preferential treatment and did other things.
After all, no one has been able to ascend in the past thousand years. If no one can ascend in the next thousand years, the demon race can rely on this magic weapon to stand above the human race.
I looked at the balanced scale and asked, "What does it mean to be balanced?"
"The demon race doesn't have cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing stage, so human cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing stage are forbidden to attack the demon race. If they do, they will die." He said slowly, "If one human kills one demon, then based on the number of people and their cultivation level, one demon can kill five humans."
"If a Mahayana cultivator kills a Mahayana demon cultivator, he will suffer five times the backlash. However, if a Mahayana demon cultivator kills a Mahayana cultivator, he will only bear one-fifth of the karmic consequences."
These words gave me chills.
——That’s why those demon cultivators massacred the city so unscrupulously.
Because the human cultivators didn't dare to take action at all.
That’s five times the cause and effect. If you get involved, you’ll either die or your cultivation will never improve.
And according to the Xuanyuan family's rhetoric, this cause and effect was forced upon Liu Hong and me. Even though I had the client's father to cheat for me and not be involved in the cause and effect, Liu Hong would.
Even if not all of them, most of the people who died in vain think so, and the resentment will be placed on the two of us.
"Then my Master..."
The headmaster sighed, "Ling Ye wants to ascend."
"He doesn't believe the Xuanyuan family's claims. He only knows you're in danger. Since he can't attack the demon clan, he's determined to break through as soon as possible—" The Sect Leader looked at me. "Now, no one in the entire cultivation world has ascended in a thousand years. So if he can successfully ascend and open the Heavenly Gate before the demon clan, then the demon clan's plan will be in vain."
"That magic weapon is useless."
"Nowadays, almost all the human cultivators who are transcending tribulation are in seclusion—" The head of the sect glanced at me and said, "Aluan, you are fine. If your master knew, he would be very relieved."
I don't know what to say.
So the fuse of everything was still the Xuanyuan family.
"Master, can you trust me?"
The headmaster looked at me and rubbed my head. "You are the eldest brother of Chongguang Sect. Your master believes in you, so I naturally believe in you too—"
"And now your cultivation level is almost as high as mine. The Xuanyuan family doesn't have that ability."
Then I watched him pull out a storage bag from his sleeve. "This is what your master asked me to give you before he went into seclusion. I don't know what's inside, but since he did this, it means he knew you would come back."
I took the storage bag, and inside was a sword, which was made of a material very similar to the gun I got in the Fangtian Secret Realm, thousand-year-old black ice.
——Did he turn his bed into a sword for me?
I cried my heart out, really.
But now I can't see him anymore, and I roughly understand the situation. As long as he is not in any danger, I will feel relieved.
I took the sword out of my storage bag. The moment I grasped the hilt, the chill from it seeped into my body, and I felt it pierce my palm.
[Ding ding ding—Congratulations to the host for receiving the gift item "Ice Sword·Xuan"
This item is a special item that can be taken out of this world.】
ah?
Wait a moment? ? ?
——This is the first time I’ve encountered this.
[This is the first time I've encountered this... but it's not considered illegal, so it's legal!]
[Maybe it's the client's... green channel?]
That makes sense.
I can't get in touch with the Heavenly Dao in the Fangtian Secret Realm, but Ling Ye and the Heavenly Dao might really be connected.
I shook the Xuanbing Sword in my hand and felt that I could kill ten people now.
——I can’t touch the demon clan, but I can still settle accounts with the Xuanyuan family.
"Are you going to Xuanyuan's house?"
The master asked me.
I nodded without disguising.
Settling the accounts is one thing, but there is still a task that remains unfinished.
——And these blames must be put back on them, right?
He reached out and took out a sect leader's token and placed it in my hand. "If anything happens, just crush it. We dare not act rashly against the demon clan, but we are not afraid of the Xuanyuan family - Chongguang Sect."
His expression was kind. "You are my senior brother in the Chongguang Sect. If I am fortunate enough to ascend to heaven or my lifespan ends, you will be the next leader."
No, no, no, Master, please don’t say these words as if you are setting a flag.
I took over the command of the leader.
Bowed deeply to him.
I am really lucky to always meet people who trust me so much.
——————————
Zhongzhou - Xuanyuan Clan - Dihong Villa
The Xuanyuan family’s ancestral home is hard to find. Perhaps because they are afraid of being hunted for revenge, many of the main branches of the families are hidden and unknown to others, so I need someone to lead the way for me.
Liu Hong and I were only separated for an hour, and now we are reunited here.
His situation in the Demon Realm was similar to mine, except that the Xuanyuan family's statements to that side were different from their statements to the Chongguang Sect. The demon cultivators didn't believe what the Xuanyuan family said, so the messenger died.
However, they believed that Liu Hong was captured by the demon clan, so the demon cultivators also caused trouble for many demon cultivators. Because of the balance, there were heavy casualties.
——Apart from anything else, the demon cultivators really protect their own shortcomings.
Wang Yu died after killing two Mahayana cultivators who were demon cultivators. Before he died, he cursed the righteous cultivators as a group of cowards.
Therefore, the demon clan remained quiet for a while after losing two Mahayana cultivators.
…
Very sad.
Although he is not a good person, at least he puts the cultivation of Liu Hong first.
So Liu Hong seemed to hate the Xuanyuan family very much.
I squeezed his hand and found that he had to bear much more than me.
So I attacked directly towards Dihong Villa. The magic circle above blocked my sword light, but the violent vibration was enough for the people inside to notice that something was wrong.
I struck again with my sword. Now I was in the late stage of Dongxu. The Xuanbing Sword Ling Ye gave me was only a step away from being a divine weapon. Liu Hong also took action. His sword was the real divine weapon of the Demon Lord.
The magic circle shattered in just a few breaths.
Just when we were about to continue chopping, more than a dozen people appeared and surrounded us.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Xuanyuan family?"
I looked at the person who came and forced a smile.
"Who are they? The two young masters of your Xuanyuan family."
The Xuanbing Sword pointed directly at the leader, who looked a little frightened. I recognized him. A hundred years ago, he was the one who led a group of people to capture Liu Hong and me.
Obviously, he recognized the two of us and was about to attack, but my sword was faster. An icicle mixed with sword energy pierced straight into his sea of consciousness and then shattered it.
I watched him collapse lifelessly onto the ground and turned to look at the others.
"Why? You don't know us, do you?"
…
It seems that I really don’t know him. The only one I know has been killed by me.
The remaining group is in the Nascent Soul stage and the Out-of-Body stage.
"Go call your family head," I pointed at one of them. "After all, I heard that our old father has been looking for us for the past hundred years. Now that we have escaped and come to find him, he won't come to see us. Isn't this inappropriate?"
[It's a bit weird, and makes people feel very happy.]
"My brother and I miss him terribly... One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... nine. Nine of you, find the fastest one to bring him back. If he doesn't come out within two quarters of an hour, I'll kill one of you if I take even a quarter longer."
Liu Hong's sword emitted wisps of black air. He looked expressionlessly at the Xuanyuan family members across from him, "Eight people can add two hours. Based on the speed of ordinary cultivators, two hours should be enough to bring him here, right?"
At this moment, he was like a ghost. His agile body tapped the neck of every monk, leaving a blood mark. Some young monks were so scared that they could hardly stand.
Well, it turns out that threatening people requires professionalism.
I just killed someone in front of them but the effect was not as good as Liu Hong.
As soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, the man in the Out-of-Body Stage shot out quickly. At the same time, Villar had disappeared and followed behind him.
Asking him to find Xuanyuan Yi was just an excuse; the real purpose was to use him to find the Xuanyuan family's ancestral home.
——The Xuanyuan family might be in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Liu Hong and I can only fight against the Mahayana at most now, but we can’t defeat the Tribulation Crossing Stage. So as long as we know where the Xuanyuan family is, revenge will come sooner or later.
After all, Ling Ye was in seclusion, but Liu Yuan was not.
But she is unwilling to come to see us now, so she must be hindered by something.
——I remembered what the sect leader just told me, that Ling Ye was stopped by the Xuanyuan family. Could it be that Liu Yuan was stopped by the same thing?
A Niang would definitely not believe what the Xuanyuan family said, so maybe she is near the Xuanyuan family.
Now, as long as we can make the people of Xuanyuan family believe that we two are just looking for revenge and not for anything else, they may even think that we two really want to join Xuanyuan family.
After all, these aristocratic families wouldn't think that what they said was an attempt to label us, but would be ecstatic to give us both such an identity.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as our mother is here, the three of us can overthrow the Xuanyuan family.
——Honestly speaking, I think the reason why the Xuanyuan family hasn’t been overthrown by the Xuanyuan family yet is because Liu Yuan is still not sure about our safety.
But this time when Villar went there, Liu Yuan could recognize him at a glance.
I touched the hairpin in my bag, and there were still two flowers on it that had not bloomed. She said that she would come to see me once every time a flower bloomed, but now she owes me four times.
A quarter of an hour passed and nothing happened. Liu Hong turned his sword and the monks in front of him trembled.
I was touching Xiaobai, and Xiaobai shook his feathers.
Just before the next quarter of an hour was about to end, Liu Hong raised his sword and swept it towards the people in front of him, "Who should start with?"
No one spoke, but their eyes were full of panic.
I raised my eyebrows and pointed my hand in the space. They were instantly unable to move - they wanted to run, but running in front of me was underestimating us.
Liu Hong had already stretched out his hand and shot a red light at the first one who wanted to run away.
It was exactly a quarter of an hour now—
Then the red light was knocked out.
We both looked at the source of the other golden light at the same time, and a powerful pressure came towards us. Three of them were in the Mahayana stage.
Xuanyuan Yi was standing not far away, followed by two old men in white robes, and behind them were a group of cultivators in the fusion stage and the distraction stage.
It seems that they came well prepared and in a hurry.
The moment he stood still, all the people behind Xuanyuan Yi except the two Mahayana cultivators dispersed. They were scattered over a hundred meters away, and then an invisible restriction rose.
In the magic circle.
Is this going to trap both of us?
But... I glanced behind them calmly, and the green light disappeared in a flash.
The hairpin in the bag was also slightly hot.
"My son... I hope you are okay."
Xuanyuan Yi spoke.
"Master Xuanyuan, you're too serious. I wonder when we brothers became your sons?" I sneered. Liu Hong rolled his eyes. "A hundred years ago, you showed no mercy to us and wanted to kill us two brothers—"
Xuanyuan Yi's expression remained unchanged. "At that time, my subordinates pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed. I just wanted to ask you two to recuperate for a while, but I never thought it would be like this..."
He put on a sad face and said, "After you disappeared, I also sent people to search for you. It wasn't my intention. We are father and son. Do we really have to become so estranged because of a misunderstanding?"
【Wow, host, learn this kind of acting. 】
No no no, what's the point of me learning this?!
"Well, Master Xuanyuan, let me test you."
Liu Hong spoke, holding his sword horizontally in front of him. "Because of your words, my adoptive father went to the demon tribe alone and died. How many demons did he kill?"
Xuanyuan Yi stopped talking. It was obvious that after Liu Hong said this, he knew that he had nothing more to say.
——Liu Hong and I are well aware of the accusations he has put on us for the past hundred years, and because of him, Liu Hong lost his teacher. Even though Liu Hong didn't like Wang Yu very much after he recovered his memory, he still remembered the kindness Wang Yu had shown him.
So if Wang Yu dies, he will avenge him.
The demon clan wanted to kill him, but the culprit was still the man in front of him.
"Are you still going to do something as heinous as patricide?"
"My brother is the light of righteousness, the eldest senior brother of the Chongguang Sect. He has to consider cause and effect, but I am a demon cultivator." He narrowed his eyes. "Let me continue to test you. Do you think we demon cultivators have the concept of cause and effect?"
Okay, brother, stop testing me. Your daddy style is already stronger than that of your biological dad across the street.
This is a magical attack, right?
There was no room for me to interrupt.
——But if you talk like that, you’ll easily be taught a lesson by Liu Yuan!
Liu Yuan, I hate guys who have a daddy vibe the most.
Then, before Xuanyuan Yi could say anything, I heard three crisp slaps.
Xuanyuan Yi and the two Mahayana cultivators behind him flew more than ten meters away.
"Hey, Dabao and Erbao are my children, how can it be your turn to claim them as your father? And you want to kill your father? Are you worthy? I have been keeping you in jail for a hundred years, and now I can finally beat you up, old man."
It’s still the familiar recipe, and the familiar taste.
A beautiful woman with white hair and colorful clothes appeared in front of us, and Verard stood on her shoulder and rubbed it.
——No, Villar, what's wrong with you? !
[We are brothers, your mother is my mother, is that okay?]
Then she instantly moved in front of Xuanyuan Yi, picked him up, and looked him up and down. "Didn't you tell me why you brought Dabao and Erbao home in the first place?"
"If you don't say it, I'll say it for you—"
She smiled slightly, "After all, I haven't stayed in your Xuanyuan family for a hundred years in vain."
Then she looked at the two of us and said, "First of all, this old man really wants to kill you—because of the Xuanyuan Bell in your bodies."
When I heard that, I became energized.
My mission is accomplished right now!
She has to be my biological mother.
