Chapter 232 The Final Instruction
Chu Xianzhi was also overjoyed. He never imagined that his long-held wish would be fulfilled by this young girl, Murong Hanchan. "Your subordinate obeys!"
Xiang Kui secretly patted Chong Sheng, signaling him to make the decision, and Chong Sheng nodded in understanding. Xiang Kui then loudly proclaimed, "I'm going to get that old man Zhu Zongshen right now!"
"No need to worry! We've already got them under control!" As soon as Ying Qing finished speaking, Lü Zhong and Zhang Qi arrived, bound Zhu Zongshen, Zhu Ziyou, and the others, looking disheveled.
Seeing this, Zhu Zixing thought to himself: This must all be within my little sister's expectations. That's why she offered to submit to Shanshui City to save our lives! Little sister, your intentions are truly beyond my reach…
Zhu Ziyue coldly said to Lü Zhong, "Now that my Zhu Family Village has submitted to Shanshui City, it is not up to your Yongle Gang to decide how to deal with it."
Lu Zhong snorted coldly, "So what if it's Shanshui City? Even the city lord Xue Huai Ren has to obey the leader's orders!" After saying that, he cupped his hands to show Murong Hanchan.
Xue Qingrou quickly interjected to defuse the awkward situation, saying, "What Chief Lü said is right. My brother Xue Huai Ren is indeed to obey the orders of Leader Murong! But just now, Leader Murong entrusted my brother with an important task, appointing him as the leader of the group."
Hearing this, Lü Zhong looked at Murong Hanchan, hoping to find the answer in her eyes. Murong Hanchan said crisply, "Chief Lü, I hope you will trust City Lord Xue as much as I trust you. The future of the people of Baiyun City is entrusted to you!"
“This…” Lu Zhong hesitated for a moment, then bowed respectfully and said, “I will obey the leader’s command!”
He immediately gave Ying Qing a look, but Ying Qing pretended not to see it and turned his head to the side. Helpless, Lü Zhong looked at Zhang Qi again. Zhang Qi was silent for a moment, then coldly said to his subordinate, "Release the people."
"We can't let him go!" Xiang Kui stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Zongshen. "Old man! I'll have to make do with you for now. We'll have Lord Xue untie you when we get to Shanshui City!" With a wave of his hand, two burly men took Zhu Zongshen away.
Xiang Kui then said to Zhu Zixing, "Eighth Young Master Zhu! You don't need me to do anything, do you??"
Zhu Zixing glanced at his brothers and was then taken away by Xiang Kui's men.
Seeing that her loved ones were safe and sound, Zhu Ziyue said to Shao Ji Qianxue, "Three days from now, I will go to Qianfeng Yunhai on time to help break the seal. Please, senior!" After saying that, she disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few butterflies lingering around her.
Shao Ji Qianxue slowly walked to Xue Qingrou's side. "Miss Xue, the situation in this world is now settled! With the Tianji Palace guarding the ancient city, it has been peaceful for hundreds of years and should be safe. Shuangjin City has been entrusted to this Right Envoy of Chu by Miss Murong and should now submit to your brother Xue Huai Ren!"
She took two steps back and forth, "The game is settled, but one move is still missing! In order to fulfill the dream of this carefree young hero, I have taken the stand for the people of Longyang City and have already pledged allegiance to your brother Xue Huai Ren, hoping that he will treat all the people equally!" After saying that, she waved her hand and a seal of the city lord appeared out of thin air.
"Please!" Shao Ji Qianxue presented the seal to Xue Qingrou.
Xue Qingrou slowly accepted it in disbelief, momentarily at a loss for words.
Murong Hanchan stepped forward and said, "Sister Xue, I'll leave the rest to you. Bring the army back. Your brother knows what to do, so please trust him!"
"Okay!" Xue Qingrou nodded quickly. Murong Hanchan's gentle demeanor at this moment reminded her of the Murong Hanchan of the past.
"Take care, Master!"... "Little girl, until we meet again!" The group bid farewell to Murong Hanchan and left.
"Buzz buzz buzz..." As the Jade Goddess Cult's horn sounded, the army marched off in a mighty procession, leaving only Xiaoyao Lang and a few others behind.
Ling Qichen glared hatefully at Xiaoyao Lang, wrapped the handful of mud and sand mixed with Ling Beixiao's blood and shreds in her arms, and coldly shouted at Xiaoyao Lang, "Xiaoyao Lang, the hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable! Once the seal is broken, I will definitely take your life!" After saying that, she turned and left.
Ling Xueyan cursed inwardly: "That damned Shangguan Qinghuan! He was so cold-blooded as to attack me, almost costing me my life. Now that I'm alive, I must cooperate with my brother in cultivation. As for my father's revenge… Xiaoyao Lang, you wait for me!"
Xiaoyao Lang had been keeping a close eye on Yi Qingxue. When he saw her call him "Young Master Xiaoyao" just now, he couldn't help but wonder to himself: Has she really lost her memory...?
Seeing that things had been handled properly, Shao Ji Qianxue said to Yu Linglong and the others, "The path of the Great Dao leads to success, and all things go smoothly! I'll see you in three days, please!" After saying that, she turned to leave.
"Please wait!" Seeing that she was ignoring him, Xiaoyao Lang could not suppress his doubts and finally called out.
"Huh?!" Shao Ji Qianxue turned around. "Young Master Xiaoyao, is there something you need?!"
Xiaoyao Lang gave Murong Hanchan and Yu Linglong a look, then went to Shaoji Qianxue. "You... are you actually Qingxue or...?"
Seeing his expression, Yi Qingxue immediately said, "So what if it's Shaoji Qianxue? So what if it's your Qingxue sister?"
Xiaoyao Lang looked at her with deep affection, "I just want to know why your temperament has changed so much? You don't even recognize Murong Hanchan?"
Yi Qingxue smiled coldly, "How could I possibly know her? You two are deeply in love with each other, so what am I to you?!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao Lang was at a loss for words and stood frozen in place. But then Yi Qingxue's lips parted again, "Yi Qingxue and I owe each other nothing in this life, nor do I, Shaoji Qianxue! But I hope you will bury those past events and never mention them again, lest you hurt Yi Qingxue's heart. Farewell."
As her petite figure receded into the distance, Yi Qingxue's melodious voice echoed on the wind: "Words are finished, I turn and walk away, the gentle breeze bids farewell to the old year. Let bygones be bygones! I fear that my heart will be stirred again, my youthful face remains unchanged, my feelings are still there, I promised you my destiny in the mountain cave of my childhood! Love and hate continue, it is hard to turn back."
"I never imagined she was Shao Ji Qianxue, hiding her true identity so well!" Murong Hanchan said as she approached Xiaoyao Lang.
Xiaoyao Lang shook his head. "Impossible! Qingxue and I grew up together since childhood. If she had been hiding her identity all along, why wouldn't she reveal it when facing a life-or-death situation? And her father's death, if she had her current cultivation level, she couldn't possibly have been indifferent to it."
Murong Hanchan remained silent, while Yu Linglong said, "This is easy to explain! Shaoji Qianxue cultivates Yin-Yang techniques. Among the Yin-Yang Lily Techniques is a supreme secret method called Spirit Splitting! It allows one to transfer their own spiritual consciousness and cultivation body to other objects."
"Why would she do this? Isn't separating one's cultivation from one's physical body too risky?" Murong Hanchan asked in confusion.
Yu Linglong immediately replied, "The reason must lie in the seal of this realm. It is said that she became a saint and ascended to immortality eight hundred years ago. Her physical body and soul have separated, and once they cross the boundary, they will be sucked into the seal barrier and it will be difficult to escape."
"So that's how it is! So in order to avoid this calamity, she did not hesitate to separate her physical body from her soul, and her spiritual essence kept reincarnating into other bodies! Until the time was right, the three essences were united, and the complete Shao Ji Qianxue reappeared in the world! What a wonderful method!" Murong Hanchan exclaimed.
