There are no less than a thousand sects in Zhufeng Country, but the reason why the five major sects can call the wind and rain and make a loud noise is that each sect has a Yuanying elder in charge. Yuanying elders don't have to endure hardships and can go into seclusion if they want to, or come out to interfere in the affairs of the sect if they want to. There is only one thing: when the sect encounters a disaster, Yuanying elders must not stand idly by and must do their best to save it.

Usually, they are just a scarecrow's job, just sitting quietly and scaring people.

Elder Yunxi is the scarecrow of Qingxu Sword Sect.

Li Qingyun from Wangyue Peak is Elder Yunxi's beloved disciple, and said respectfully: "Master has been practicing in seclusion for more than a hundred years. I miss him very much. Today, when I leave seclusion, I will prepare some wine to celebrate with Master."

Elder Yunxi twirled his white beard: "What are you celebrating? I was practicing well in seclusion, but just now the mountain suddenly shook, and there were shouts of killing. I thought something happened to the Sword Sect, so I opened the cave. As soon as I kicked the door, I saw a foundation-building disciple and several Qi-training disciples performing spells at the entrance of my cave. They were the ones who caused the disturbance. As soon as they saw me appearing, they all cried and said that the disciples were killing each other at Yurong Peak and begged me to come and see. Two of them cried too much and I caught and locked them up

.

Needless to say, it was obvious that they had done this.

Elder Yunxi said to Wen Jing, "Practice the Five Elements Sword Technique for me once."

Wen Jing did not dare to disobey. He bowed and said, "I have only learned the first level of the Five Elements Sword Technique, 'Rebirth from the Ashes of Fire.'"

Elder Yunxi's face changed slightly, "Yes."

Wen Jing concentrated his mind and breathed in, and the true energy immediately flowed into the Suxin Sword. For a moment, the flames flowed and clanged non-stop. He flew up, turned over and swung the long sword, and the sword light drew a circle of light of more than ten feet in the air, and the flames immediately spread and burned wildly!

Elder Yunxi's eyes showed a little excitement, and he immediately shouted: "Stop!"

The fire spread around and then receded. This time, everyone was prepared, but the peak masters with lower cultivation were still unable to avoid it, and several large blisters appeared, burning their heads. Looking around, the ground, walls, and even the bronze statue of Qingxuzi had some black marks from burning.

Elder Yunxi looked at Wen Jing seriously and said with forbearance: "Why do you have this "Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Technique"?"

He has not come out of retreat for hundreds of years, and he doesn't care about worldly affairs. He doesn't even know about the tragic case of the Hengyang Palace. Wen Jing was determined to get the old man, and before anyone else could say anything, he answered, "Elder, this is the Hengyang Palace's top secret inheritance for thousands of years. It is only passed down to descendants, not to outsiders. I was able to learn it by accident!"

Elder Yunxi's face darkened slightly, "Hengyang Palace is just a small sect with a few hundred people. How could there be..." His face changed again, "The ancestor of Hengyang Palace is..."

Jun Yanzhi said, "I am the only bloodline of Hengyang Palace, and my surname is Changsun."

Elder Yunxi asked anxiously, "Changsun Liupin?"

"The elder is right. Senior Brother Jun's ancestor is the head of Hongxiu Peak, Changsun Liupin, who left the Sword Sect more than 3,000 years ago with two sets of ancient scrolls!" Wen Jing did not allow anyone to speak and shouted immediately.

Everyone was somewhat moved. The Sword Sect was torn apart back then. It was such a tragic history. Unfortunately, it was a long time ago, and they just listened to it as a story. How could they have thought that there was such an origin?

Elder Yunxi's fingers, which were holding the Immortal Execution Tower, turned pale. He looked up at Jun Yanzhi and said, "You said you were the only bloodline of Hengyang Palace. What's the matter?"

Zhao Ningtian of Hongxiu Peak said, "My elder, Jun Yanzhi was born with a demon..."

Wen Jing couldn't let him interrupt him, so he interrupted him immediately and said, "My elder, eighteen years ago, someone wanted to steal the Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Technique and killed him. Senior Brother Jun has a family of more than 400 people, and they still pinned this incident on him."

Lu Changqing couldn't help but get angry: "The peak masters and elders are talking, you can't interrupt!"

Wen Jing sneered: "If you have the guts, kill me. Don't you think you are guilty of being a thief? I think you had a part in what happened back then!"

Lu Changqing's seven orifices smoked, and the light blue long sword suddenly flew into the air, and a water-colored sword light came towards him! He said angrily: "What are you talking about? What does the Hengyang Palace have to do with me?"

Jun Yanzhi protected Wen Jing behind him and said: "Elder, you don't know that Junior Brother Jing only accepted the first half of the "Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Technique". A few days ago, in order to lure out the people who framed me, I used the remaining half of the sword technique to set a trap. Now, those who have the "Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Technique" are controlled by a ban when stealing the sword technique, and now they should be unable to circulate the spiritual energy around their bodies."

Wen Jing thought to himself, Jun Yanzhi must have a back-up plan for what he does!

He has an elegant appearance and a pleasant voice. No matter how you listen to him, he is a man of high moral character, without the slightest trace of falsehood. It is difficult for the people present to have any ill feelings, and they all calmed down.

Wen Jing looked at him, lowered his head and touched his left face, feeling a little uncomfortable for some reason.

If Jun Yanzhi was like this, if everything was clarified, there would be countless people queuing to talk to him. I'm afraid they would look down on me... If they don't like him, then they don't like him.

Elder Yunxi's eyes swept over the crowd: "He can't circulate the spiritual energy around his body. You'll know after a try."

As he spoke, a green light suddenly rose up, winding past the crowd, causing a breeze. Suddenly, a figure was dragged from behind the peak masters by the green light and fell to the open ground in full view of everyone. Lu Changqing immediately cast his eyes on Xi Fang, who was as steady as a mountain: "Master, he can't circulate the spiritual energy around his body?"

The man brushed off the dust on his body, stood up expressionlessly, but his eyes were lowered, and he didn't say a word.

Wen Jing whispered, "It is Zhu Jin..."

Shao Jun frowned and said, "He has been in poor health recently, we all know that."

Jun Yanzhi smiled faintly, "Brother Zhu, don't you want to explain why this happened?"

Elder Yunxi looked at Zhu Jin with a sharp gaze.

Zhu Jin was still as respectful and serious as usual. She didn't look prepared, but she didn't look panicked at all. "Sometime ago, I went wrong in my cultivation. The spiritual energy in my body couldn't flow. The sect master, Lu Fengzhu, Shao Fengzhu, Li Fengzhu and others all know about it."

Li Qingyun said, "Something went wrong in my cultivation. The spiritual energy can't flow temporarily, but it's not a big deal."

Jun Yanzhi smiled faintly, and suddenly a stream of spiritual energy came out of his hand and penetrated directly into Zhu Jin's chest.

"Ah——!"

Just after he screamed, a surge of spiritual energy rushed out of Zhu Jin's body, but he quickly contained it. He pursed his lips tightly and couldn't speak, but there was a trace of panic in his eyes. His body has fully recovered, so how could there be any sign of spiritual energy not being able to circulate?

Wen Jing whispered: "Brother Zhu, the problem you encountered in your cultivation is easy to cure. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought that it was Brother Jun who lifted the restrictions on you."

Lu Zhangqing and others were filled with anger: "Zhu Jin, what's going on?"

Li Qingyun hated being played by men the most in her life. She had just spoken for him like a fool, so she became furious. She flew over and pinched his neck in her hands, squeezing tighter and tighter: "Zhu Jin, what's your intention in lying to us?" Zhu

Jin: "..."

He didn't explain a word, but refused to admit defeat. The veins on his face bulged, and his face turned purple from being pinched by the spiritual energy ring in Li Qingyun's hand. His eyes gradually rolled up, and even his breathing was a little difficult.

Elder Yunxi glanced at Xi Fang coldly: "Your own disciple is going to die, but you are so calm."

Wen Jing was furious and whispered to Jun Yanzhi: "What should we do now?"

Jun Yanzhi whispered: "Don't worry... Li Qingyun will not kill Zhu Jin."

Li Qingyun glanced at Jun Yanzhi coldly, cursed in his heart, and his movements really slowed down. She just wanted to make Zhu Jin suffer a little, and didn't really want to kill him. This man was related to the "Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Technique", so she naturally didn't dare to break his neck.

Her body shook, and she stood a dozen steps away, watching coldly.

Zhu Jin was like a fish thrown ashore, half-kneeling on the ground and taking a deep breath.

Now everyone knows that things are not as simple as imagined, but there are so many things to sort out, and no one dares to act rashly.

Elder Yunxi stroked his beard gently: "Zhu Jin, if you don't explain this matter clearly, you will probably have to spend the rest of your life in the dungeon."

"...I know."

Wen Jing said coldly: "The case in Hengyang Palace eighteen years ago has nothing to do with you. Your cultivation is just the middle stage of foundation building, how could you possibly kill the Jindan demon cultivator who killed Master Lu? You can't tell right from wrong, and you ruined your life for a piece of blind loyalty. Isn't it a pity?"

He said this to Zhu Jin, but he was facing Xi Fang, and sure enough, he saw his calm eyes move slightly.

Wen Jing added: "When Grandmaster Lu was young, he once said that everyone has their own opinions on right and wrong. People have different standpoints, and the distinction between good and evil in their hearts is also very different. Whenever I think of this sentence, I feel a chill in my heart."

He looked at Xi Fang: "Master Xi, I can't help but wonder, if Grandmaster Lu were still alive, would he agree with what you did?"

Xi Fang said slowly: "Don't involve him."

Jun Yanzhi smiled: "When we destroyed Hengyang Palace, we failed to "I got the "Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Technique". I wanted to eliminate the demon cultivators, but I ended up practicing the devil. I have been manipulating things in secret for so many years, but I have not been able to get back the inheritance, to revive the Sword Sect, to frame Duan Xuan, and even to control me. Instead, I ended up with a dishonorable result. My life has been a complete failure from beginning to end. If Grandmaster Lu knew about this, I don't know what he would think."

A flame rose in Xi Fang's eyes.

Jun Yan said: "Master Xi, you have been lonely in your life and it is difficult to find a confidant. I will tell you today that I understand your thoughts. Those who do great things should use any means to achieve their goals. There is only success or failure, and there is no right or wrong. If you succeed, you will be remembered forever; if you fail, you will be a handful of yellow earth. Since you have already built a tomb for yourself, you must have let go of everything."

He pointed at Zhu Jin who was standing aside: "Now that the matter has been exposed, the Immortal Tower is not in your hands, and there is no possibility of turning defeat into victory in the future, why don't you pity this disciple who is loyal to you?"

Zhu Jin gritted his teeth.

Wen Jing half-closed his eyes, suddenly drew out his long sword and swung it fiercely at Zhu Jin!

The flames spurted out for several feet and were about to fall on Zhu Jin. A sword light blocked in front of him, removing most of the flames. Xi Fang put away his sword, turned to Wen Jing and said, "Don't hurt him."

Wen Jing: "..."

Jun Yanzhi fell silent again, and slowly passed a few words to Xi Fang.

No one could hear these words, but Xi Fang slowly showed an expression that was hard to describe, as if he was relieved, sad, and even a little yearning.

Elder Yunxi had already understood most of it at this time, and his emotions were surging in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He was silent for a long time before he said, "Xi Fang, you are limited by your qualifications and it is difficult for you to be born as a primordial baby in this life. When I chose you to be the head of the Sword Sect, I knew your personality well enough. How did you know the inheritance of the Hengyang Palace?"

Everyone waited like stone, no one dared to make any sound.

The morning mist drifted among the crowd and slowly dissipated.

It seemed like several hours had passed before Xi Fang finally spoke slowly: "That was discovered by Junior Brother Lu and I when we were young."

"How did you discover it?"

"..."

Elder Yunxi asked again: "Was it your plan to wipe out the Hengyang Palace?"

Xi Fang's mind seemed to be no longer on the crowd. He slowly turned around and did not answer. He looked at the towering mountains, the hall and the bronze statue for a long time, and his back was shaking slightly.

Finally, he slowly said: "The events of the past and recent years are recorded in my room. Elder, you can look through them slowly. There is no point for me to stay any longer, so I'd better go find Junior Brother Lu first."

His voice was no longer as calm as usual, and it seemed sad and happy, as if he had finally put everything behind him.

At the end, a sword gleam suddenly swung out, heading for the Immortal-Extermination Tower in Elder Yunxi's arms!

Lu Changqing shouted, "Master!"

The clanging sound in the valley resounded for a long time. When everyone came to their senses, the black tower landed quietly on the bluestone ground, but Xi Fang had disappeared.

Wen

Jing was the first to come to his senses: "Brother, save Master!"

He Ling said to Zhu Jin: "Where is our Master imprisoned?"

Zhu Jin was staring at the Immortal-Extermination Tower in a daze. After Wen Jing shouted a few times, he said in a trance: "...In the dungeon."

As expected, they were going to catch them all in one fell swoop!

Wen Jing, Jun Yanzhi and He Ling did not delay any longer and rushed to the foot of the mountain.

The dungeon of the Qingxu Sword Sect was built at the bottom of Yurong Peak. It was protected by formations and barriers. It was cold and dark all year round without sunlight, which was the most unfavorable for the cultivation of Taoists. Wen Jing had the formation entry technique taught by Elder Yunxi, and hurriedly led them in. As soon as they came out of the formation, they heard the roar of the man

in the formation. The voice was hoarse and sour, with a choked cry, and it seemed that he was in great pain. The dungeon was very noisy, and the pain of the man could be felt along the narrow stone wall, which made people's hair stand on end and shudder.

Wen Jing whispered: "What did Xi Fang do to Master?"

Jun Yanzhi: "I don't know."

He moved forward in the dungeon anxiously. After passing the narrow corridor, his vision suddenly opened up.

This is the most secure and solid dungeon of the Qingxu Sword Sect, where only the most evil, highly skilled, and seriously infringing disciples are imprisoned. A row of black iron divides this place into three rooms. The deafening roar comes from the room at the end. It is even more terrifying to hear from a close distance.

Wen Jing hurried to the front of the room: "Master!"

There are books scattered on the ground, and the handwriting is very beautiful. They don't look like books or secret manuals, but rather like someone's notes. In the dark at the end of the dungeon, there is a thing with disheveled hair, and it is hard to tell what it is.

The thing makes a hoarse cry, holding a few books in its hands, and seems to be crying and laughing, without a moment of peace.

Wen Jing said anxiously, "Is he crazy?"

Jun Yanzhi said indifferently, "It's hard to control his inner demons. I guess Xi Fang cast some magic on him, or gave him some stimulation, so he became like this."

He Ling said, "Knock him out and rescue him."

The three of them didn't say anything more. They each did their job. In less than a moment, they carried the unconscious Duan Xuan out and He Ling carried him on his back. He looked at the mess on the ground and said, "You guys clean up here, I'll carry him back to recuperate first."

"Yes." Wen Jing agreed quickly.

Jun Yanzhi picked up a book and read it silently.

As soon as He Ling left, Wen Jing slowly picked up the scattered books and whispered strangely: "Senior brother, these things seem to be records written by one person, look..."

"March 29: The wound is gradually expanding. You must not take any pills or perform any repair techniques. Grind the white sedge into juice and apply it on it to stop the bleeding. I hope I can hold on until Xiaoxuan comes out." Wen Jing was a little embarrassed, "...Xiaoxuan?"

Jun Yanzhi was still looking down.

Wen Jing turned a few more pages: "April 5: Bleeding more and more, I found that Jinming grass and Baiying grass have better effects. Today I finally made the wedding dress. I tried it on and it fits well. It's a pity that I can't let Xiaoxuan see it. Forget it, I can't force it."

Turned a few more pages: "April 12: I went to see Xiaoxuan today. He was in the process of forming a pill. I was afraid that he would die if he failed to form a pill, so I didn't dare to disturb him. It seems that I won't see him again."

In the following records, the injuries became more and more serious, the skin gradually decayed, turned black and rotted, and even the skin and flesh fell off piece by piece. This blood cultivation technique is really amazing. Taking pills and healing injuries can only aggravate the injuries. It is insidious and cruel. Wen Jing said softly, "Brother, these are all records of Grandmaster Lu."

"Hmm..."

"What are you reading?"

Jun Yanzhi handed him the book in his hand, "Read it yourself."

Wen Jing took it and sat on the ground. He and Jun Yanzhi each held a book and flipped through it. The only sound in the dungeon was the pages slowly turning. After an unknown amount of time, Wen Jing said softly, "Brother, have you finished reading?"

"Hmm." Jun Yanzhi stood up and slowly put away the scattered books.

Wen Jing lowered his head and picked up the book, sighing softly: "I can't believe that such a thing happened between Master and Grandmaster..."

"Yeah." Jun Yanzhi added lightly, "If I were him, I would probably want to die too."

Wen Jing said casually: "Master's madness only killed him, but if you go crazy, a group of people will be buried with you... You'd better not go crazy."

Jun Yanzhi's body stiffened, and he said softly: "I'll try."

"Master is such a cold and old-fashioned person, he actually did something like kissing in the middle of the night. Grandmaster Lu must have been at a loss at the time. Just like the way you were before, if you kissed me secretly, I would definitely not believe it."

Jun Yanzhi bit his lip.

"I think Grandmaster Lu rejected Master back then because he was in a state of confusion and couldn't make up his mind, not because he really didn't like you."

"...Is that so? I think he refused completely. Otherwise, Master wouldn't have gone down the mountain in despair and disappeared for several months."

Wen Jing felt that Jun Yanzhi's words were a bit resentful, but he didn't want to delve into it, so he continued: "Master went down the mountain for several months, and Grandmaster Lu was worried for several months. He couldn't sleep or eat well. Isn't he suffering too? After waiting for him to come back with great difficulty, Master actually wanted to sever the master-disciple relationship with him and even wanted to practice magic. It's really pitiful."

Jun Yanzhi said: "...I still think that "Master is more pitiful."

Wen Jing whispered, "Didn't Grandmaster Lu... that... talk all night to keep him? I admire Master's words, 'My disciple's cultivation has reached a bottleneck. If he doesn't practice dual cultivation, he will practice magic cultivation.' He can even say such a thing. It's really..."

Jun Yanzhi glanced at him and said, "This is what Master regrets the most."

Wen Jing sighed softly, "In fact, Master didn't force Grandmaster. Master was willing. Who would do that to keep a disciple? Master himself can't let it go..."

"If he hadn't developed feelings for the master, he wouldn't have gone down the mountain in despair, and wouldn't have attracted the evil cultivators. If he hadn't returned to the mountain to force the master, and followed Fu Xiu to the evil cultivators without saying a word, the master wouldn't have died. This matter is indeed his fault." That's right

... Do you need to make it clear in person to sever the relationship? Duan Xuan was just using the matter of the evil cultivators to force the master to agree to him... At least that's what he thought in his subconscious.

Wen Jing nodded and said, "The most hateful one is Fu Xiu."

Jun Yanzhi said, "Fu Xiu finally found someone who can practice divine cultivation. He was overjoyed and even told several of his close confidants. After he knew that the master was playing tricks on him, how could he not be angry and want revenge? There are many reasons for this bloody case, but the master is the one who is most at fault."

"That's not the case. The master doesn't know how rare his talent is, and Fu Xiu has always been arrogant and has never tried to please him. Later, the master promised that he would get married after he formed the Dan, and the master wanted to retreat immediately to form the Dan. It's really..."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Qianmo's anxious voice came from the entrance of the dungeon: "Are Junior Brothers Jun and Jing here? Come out quickly, something big has happened!"

Jun Yanzhi and Wen Jing were both stunned.

Chapter 82 The narrow corridor was a little crowded, Wen Jing pushed Jun Yanzhi backwards without hesitation and passed through first. He turned around calmly, but narrowly missed a protruding corner, and Jun Yanzhi immediately protected his head with his hand. ... The

narrow corridor was a little crowded, Wen Jing pushed Jun Yanzhi backwards without hesitation and passed through first. He turned around calmly, but narrowly missed a protruding corner, and Jun Yanzhi immediately protected his head with his hand.

Jun Yanzhi said softly, "Be careful... don't hurt the stones."

Wen Jing clearly felt that Jun Yanzhi was flirting with him, but he didn't know how to react. He cleared his throat and said, "Those stones are not as delicate as you, nor as crybaby as you."

Jun Yanzhi's face changed and he lowered his head: "I just cried a lot in those three years..." As he spoke, his voice became a little sour again.

Wen Jing knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he immediately regretted it. He said with a bitter face: "It's all my fault, Senior Brother Jun..." Don't cry anymore, or I'll cry too.

Jun Yanzhi walked forward in the aisle, leaning against him and whispering: "Junior Brother, I often think about this these days, maybe this is what I owe you in my previous life. I received your kindness in my previous life, but I couldn't repay you. These three years of tears are to repay you..."

The veins on Wen Jing's temples throbbed slightly, and he wanted to smear rat shit on his face. Where did he get this idea from? Did he really think he was Lin Daiyu? Others repay debts with tears, and he also repays debts with tears. Didn't she just call him "Fairy Brother" when they first met, and it became a prophecy?

Liu Qianmo said anxiously outside: "What are you two doing? Are you done?"

"Alright, alright! We're about to get out!" Wen Jing said softly with a bitter face, "Brother, you can be whatever you want in front of me, but you should still be the elegant and graceful person you always are in front of others, okay?"

Jun Yanzhi looked down at him, and suddenly lowered his head, pressing him against the stone wall for a kiss.

It was so narrow here, and the two hadn't had close contact for a long time. Wen Jing suddenly felt a surge of heat in his lower body, burning his whole body like a flame, and it was hard to bear. He couldn't help but blush, and even the roots of his hair were hot, and he pushed Jun Yanzhi hard.

"...What?"

Jun Yanzhi bit his lip, but in an instant he returned to his usual cool and elegant demeanor, even his eyes were clear and upright: "Senior Brother is waiting outside, let's go out."

"Well..."

Wen Jing lowered his head and led the way.

There was a favorable location and people, but not a good time. If Liu Qianmo hadn't been outside, he and Jun Yanzhi would have stayed here...

The two walked out of the dungeon one after the other. Jun Yanzhi was as quiet as before, and Wen Jing stood five steps away from him, lowering his head and seemed a little aggrieved and uncomfortable.

Liu Qianmo was preoccupied with something and did not notice the two people's strange behavior. He said anxiously, "Five or six hundred disciples of Qingxu Sword Sect suddenly had small wounds on their bodies and were bleeding profusely. Elder Yunxi was a little anxious and asked me to call you over to see if there was any solution."

Wen Jing was stunned: "Didn't Xi Fang die?"

Liu Qianmo said anxiously, "Xi Fang is dead, Zhu Jin was captured, but five or six hundred people in my Sword Sect are still in trouble. I don't know what's going on, you guys go and take a look!"

Jun Yanzhi said, "Put the white ying grass, Grind Jinming grass and Huixian grass into juice and apply it on the wound. Do not take elixirs or perform magic. Junior Brother Jing and I will go to Elder Yunxi to discuss with him first. "

Liu Qianmo agreed and flew up immediately: "I will go and prepare first. Elder Yunxi is at the residence of the head of Yurong Peak!"

Wen Jing pulled Jun Yanzhi and said: "Let's go!"

Jun Yanzhi lowered his eyes and thought all the way, and did not say much. Wen Jing did not want to disturb him, and wondered in his heart: Xi Fang was dead, Zhu Jin was arrested, who else could be behind this? They only cared about Xi Fang, and did not realize that there was another person hiding in the dark. The scary thing is that this person has a blood-recruiting flag in his hand!

He couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Jun, who do you think this person is? What is his intention?"

Jun Yanzhi said softly, "Do you know? I saw my mother and sister being killed. I killed the two people who killed them in Hengtian Gate."

Wen Jing held his hand tightly, "Well, it's good that they are dead."

Jun Yanzhi's eyes turned slightly cold, "But I have never found the person who killed my father. Among the demon cultivators I interrogated, two said that they saw with their own eyes that my father was killed by Duan Xuan."

Wen Jing called out softly, "Back then, someone disguised himself as the master and went to destroy Hengyang Palace with the demon cultivators. Could this person be Xi Fang?"

"Xi Fang is used to secretly controlling and strategizing, and doesn't like to have his hands stained with blood. He may not want to pretend to be the master and fight in person. I thought it was a bit strange, but I didn't think much about it..."

If this person pretended to be the master, wouldn't he be the enemy who killed Jun Yanzhi's father? Who is he?

The two stopped talking, each thinking, and rushed to Xi Fang's residence in Yurong Peak.

This is where the head of Qingxu lives. The architectural style is more exquisite and the momentum is magnificent. Two thousand-year-old trees are located on the left and right sides, with branches and leaves covering the sky.

Before Wen Jing and Jun Yanzhi could speak, an old voice said, "Come in."

As soon as they entered the door, they saw a clear spring that took up most of the yard. The water was so clear that they could see the bottom. There were clumps of spiritual herbs in the yard, and the fragrance filled the air. Yun Xichang sat on a stone chair in the yard, reading a book.

Wen Jing said: "Elder Yunxi, disciples are waiting for instructions."

Elder Yunxi clasped the book and said, "Do you have any way to crack this technique of summoning the blood flag? The "Baicao Thousand Soul Technique" has the ability to eliminate the effect of demonic cultivation, but I don't know if it can be solved?"

Jun Yanzhi said: "Disciple has already Let the senior brother prepare the medicine to stop the bleeding. It won't be a big deal for the time being. I'll give it a try later."

Wen Jing said, "Does the elder know about the blood flag?"

Elder Yunxi twirled his beard, threw the book in his hand to Wen Jing, and sighed softly: "That public case back then was really deadly. Few people. I have been in seclusion for many years, and I didn’t even know that something like this happened. "

Jun Yanzhi said: "Since the elder has read what Xi Fang recorded, I wonder if he ever mentioned who pretended to be the master and bloodbathed the Hengyang Palace?

Elder Yunxi twirled his beard: "There are at least a thousand books and records in his secret room. All the major and minor events of the Sword Sect over the past hundred years have been recorded. I looked through them for a long time and only saw the death of Lu Zhen. " "

Wen Jing roughly flipped through the book in his hand and saw that most of them were about the daily events of the Sword Sect. He opened his mouth and hesitated to speak.

Elder Yunxi sighed, "You don't have to read it, I'll tell you. Lu Zhen has loved studying the history of the sect since he was young, and he has a deep understanding of the various sects in Zhufeng Kingdom. Xi Fang grew up with him when he was young, and they are of similar age, so their relationship is deeper than that of other brothers. In the history books, Changsun Liupin accepted an apprentice and taught him everything he had learned. The apprentice was grateful, and since he was an orphan, he took his master's surname Changsun. After Changsun Liupin went to the upper spiritual world, the apprentice disappeared under an assumed name."

"Well. And then?"

"This disciple has an ugly scar on his left cheek. It was nothing serious at first, but Lu Zhen accidentally read a sentence in the history of Hengyang Palace, which implicitly mentioned that the ancestor of Hengyang Palace had a scar on his left cheek. If Lu Zhen had not read all kinds of miscellaneous books, he would not have discovered this. He thought this was interesting, so he told Xi Fang and talked about Hengyang Palace's "Shangyun Zhen Jue". Although It is just a mental method, but it is similar to the "Lonely Immortal Sword Method" that Changsun Liupin practiced. The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Xi Fang originally wanted to restore the heyday of the Sword Sect, so he naturally developed a strong interest in Hengyang Palace. He wanted to follow the clues and find out whether Hengyang Palace is the descendant of Changsun Liupin's apprentice. "

Jun Yanzhi listened quietly.

"Not long after, he was chosen by me to inherit the position of the headmaster. He was full of energy and had a lot of things on his mind, so he temporarily forgot about this matter. Lu Zhen had originally been a peaceful and reclusive person, and gradually he and Xi Fang had some problems getting along, so they naturally became estranged, and he just quietly accepted disciples and taught them carefully at Huishi Peak. At this time, he accepted a twelve-year-old disciple, Duan Xuan."

Wen Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Duan Xuan is a rare talent, silent and hardworking. Lu Zhen likes him and treats him well. In fact, he is good to all his disciples, but Duan Xuan has been an orphan since he was a child, and no one has ever treated him like a master. Over time, he has developed some inexplicable thoughts."

Elder Yunxi sighed and said, "This matter is actually my fault. I can see some clues about Duan Xuan's feelings for your Master Lu since he was a child. Once I ran into Lu Zhen and Duan Xuan picking spiritual herbs. The mountain was covered with dew and there was some drizzle. Duan Xuan walked behind him holding an umbrella, which was over Lu Zhen's head, but he himself was soaked. Later I joked to Duan Xuan, saying that you are so good to your master, why don't you marry him in the future? I just made a joke, but he blushed and left in anger. "

Wen Jing secretly gave Jun Yanzhi a miserable expression.

Elder Yunxi sighed again: "Xi Fang felt uncomfortable watching Duan Xuan and Lu Zhen getting closer and closer. But as the head of the sect, he had great responsibilities, and Duan Xuan was a rare talent. He could not let his personal feelings affect his judgment, so he became more distant from Lu Zhen. The status of the Sword Sect among the five major sects was getting lower and lower, and Xi Fang was anxious, so he thought about merging with Hengyang Palace."

Jun Yanzhi said: "How to merge?" "

Xi Fang investigated the history of Hengyang Palace and found that in addition to the "Shangyun Zhen Jue", the shadow of the Sword Sect can also be seen in several other sets of sword techniques and mental skills, and he became more and more determined. He began to approach your father, appealing to his emotions and reasoning, trying to persuade him to return to the Sword Sect."

"My father will definitely not agree."

"Your father naturally refused to admit that Hengyang Palace originated from Qingxu Sword Sect. He actually knew nothing about it at the time. When Xi Fang told you about the inheritance of the two ancient scrolls, your father looked strange, and Xi Fang understood it more clearly. The original name of "Hundred Herbs and Thousand Souls Technique" was "Earth Extension Heart Technique", and the original name of "Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Technique" was "Suxin Sword Technique". Although Hengyang Palace changed the name of the inheritance, the content remained unchanged. When your father found out that Hengyang Palace actually originated from Qingxu Sword Sect, he was also confused, so he said that the merger was impossible and avoided him from then on."

Jun Yanzhi said: "Xi Fang naturally did not stop."

"Xi Fang was sure that the two ancient scrolls were still there, so how could he give up just like that? He was actually quite sincere at the time, waiting in front of Hengyang Palace in disguise many times, promising him the position of the master of the two peaks, and that the disciples who followed him could enjoy the resources of the Sword Sect to their heart's content. Your father was a bit old-fashioned by nature, and he had the ancestral teachings to follow, so he was adamant and refused to agree, and the two sides were deadlocked."

"Hmm..."

Elder Yunxi sighed, "I didn't expect that Lu Zhen would be harmed by the evil cultivator at this time."

He paused, and then continued, "The "Earth Extension Heart Method" and "Sou Xin Sword Method" taken away by Changsun Liupin are very old and a shame for the Sword Sect. Not many people know much about them, and not even many people know their names. If Xi Fang had not been the head of the sect, he would not have known the effects of the "Earth Extension Heart Method" and "Sou Xin Sword Method". Xi Fang was upset and angry because he was rejected by your father many times. He could only talk to Lu Zhen about this matter, so he came to find him tonight."

"Then what?"

"Lu Zhen's body had already begun to decay, but he kept stroking his wedding dress every day, not eating or sleeping. Xi Fang was shocked when he saw him, and when he pressed him, Lu Zhen kept silent, saying that he had accidentally provoked a demon cultivator, which led to his revenge. Xi Fang was extremely anxious, knowing that only the "Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Technique" of Hengyang Palace could save him, so he shamelessly came to your door again and asked your father to find someone to practice the "Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Technique."

Jun Yanzhi's face turned slightly green: "Unfortunately, when I was six years old, the "Hundred Herbs Thousand Souls Technique" had already chosen me."

"Not bad." Elder Yunxi sighed, "your father considered it again and again, and still rejected him. You have to wait until you are at least fifteen years old to start practicing the "Hundred Herbs and Thousand Souls Technique", otherwise it is very easy to backfire and cause sudden death. You were only ten years old at that time, and Lu Zhen only had less than a month left to live. If you were forced to practice, you would only die. Lu Zhen is just an outsider, how could your father be willing to sacrifice his son's life for him?"

Jun Yanzhi's eyelashes trembled slightly: "I understand."

"Xi Fang waited for Lu Zhen in front of Hengyang Palace for several days and nights, but it was of no avail. Later, he couldn't wait any longer and returned to Jianzong to visit Lu Zhen, only to find that his body had decayed beyond recognition and he was dead. The medicine boxes in the room were all empty. It seemed that he couldn't bear the pain and forced himself to take a large amount of medicine and died. Lu Zhen left many records for Duan Xuan, mostly about his daily life, but Xi Fang guessed what happened from the intermittent and obscure descriptions. "

Wen Jing also sighed, "I didn't expect it to be like this..."

"You can guess what happened next. Xi Fang was so sad that he couldn't control himself. He threw all his resentment on the Hengyang Palace who refused to give in and the evil cultivators who were causing so much harm, and vowed to get rid of him.
