Chapter 39: The Iron Rod of Destruction
It was impossible for Wen Ren'e to leave Xuanyuan Sect without saying anything. According to everyone's duties, when the master was not in the sect, the new deputy master Yin Hanjiang, who had been in office for only 30 years, should act on behalf of the sect's affairs.
Wen Ren'e planned to leave Yin Hanjiang in Xuanyuan Sect and go to Taiyin Mountain Ziling Pavilion alone. The complicated affairs of Xuanyuan Sect were not important. It didn't matter if his subordinates rebelled after he left. Anyway, they would surrender when he came back. Yin Hanjiang was too close to Wen Ren'e, and he was at the peak of the realm of emptiness. He had no defense against Wen Ren'e. If Wen Ren'e said "I need blood soul to absorb", Yin Hanjiang would be willing to offer his blood soul.
It was too dangerous to set off with him. If he was alone, it would be easier to restrain himself.
So before leaving, Wen Ren'e called Yin Hanjiang and said frankly that he was going to Taiyin Mountain.
Yin Hanjiang didn't realize that Wen Ren'e was going to get rid of him this time. He followed the master silently, ready to set off with Wen Ren'e.
Seeing him like this, Wen Ren'e stopped, weighed his words, and slowly said: "Master Yin, the affairs of the sect after I leave Xuanyuan Sect and the investigation of the traitor..."
Just here, Yin Hanjiang's expression changed from calm to blank. He looked at Wen Ren'e quietly, as if he had no idea, just waiting for the order of the master.
As long as Wen Ren'e gave the order, Yin Hanjiang would be able to execute it perfectly, even if he didn't want to.
Wen Ren'e didn't continue to speak, Yin Hanjiang still kept listening, waiting for the master to announce the final result.
"...The agent can be handed over to Shu Hufa, she is already very skilled, and several altar masters have been deceived by her. They must be on guard against each other and will not easily break the balance. There is no rush for the traitor. After all, there are no clues now. Maybe after you and I leave Xuanyuan Sect, Cen Zhengqi will reveal his feet." Wen Ren'e met Yin Hanjiang's expression and finally said so.
After saying this, Yin Hanjiang's face became more lively. He bowed
his head deeply and said, "I obey your command." Wen Ren'e frowned. It's not like he hasn't been separated from Yin Hanjiang before. The Demon Lord has always been his own man. He goes wherever he wants to go without reporting to Yin Hanjiang, and Yin Hanjiang never asks. However, after getting "Sad Love", he was worried that Yin Hanjiang would go crazy, so he rarely separated from him. Now he wanted to walk away but felt more restrained.
This is not right.
He originally hoped that Yin Hanjiang's emotions would be calmed down, so that he would not do something that Wen Ren'e would not like after his death, so he would pay attention to it. But now, he has become more worried.
In the past, when Wen Ren'e wanted to go somewhere, he never observed and cared whether Yin Hanjiang looked so lonely, and he never softened his heart.
"Yin Hanjiang," Wen Ren'e called him by name, "I am not your god, but just one of the countless cultivators on the road to heaven like you."
"I know." Yin Hanjiang said with his head still lowered.
"It's one thing to yearn for it, but you have to walk your own path, do you understand?" Wen Ren'e approached him, stretched out his hand to hold the back of Yin Hanjiang's neck, and pressed his thumb behind his ear. The strength of his palm forced Yin Hanjiang to look up.
Being too close to each other made a blush appear on both of their faces. Wen Ren'e only felt a sweetness in his chest. Yin Hanjiang's unique true essence breath that belonged to sword cultivators rushed towards him. For blood cultivators, it was the best true essence. Wen Ren'e, who had not been able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for thirty years, felt dizzy. The strength of the palm on Yin Hanjiang's neck became heavier, and the spiritual formula of blood transformation was repeatedly replayed in his mind. As long as the strength of the palm was released, Yin Hanjiang could be turned into blood under his palm, and the true essence and soul would belong to Wen Ren'e.
Wen Ren'e blushed because of his blood, but Yin Hanjiang also blushed for some reason. He resisted for a few times and escaped from Wen Ren'e's palm, and said with a cupped hand: "I know that I will be promoted to the Mahayana stage as soon as possible to share the worries of the Lord."
Yin Hanjiang's retreat made Wen Ren'e regain a trace of consciousness. He suppressed the blood that was constantly churning in his body, turned around and said: "Send a message to Shu Hufa and order her to temporarily take over the position of the sect leader."
After sending the message, Wen Ren'e did not look back, but turned into a light and left directly. Yin Hanjiang hurriedly sacrificed the Broken Army Sword to follow.
He bit his lip. What did the Lord mean by this? Has he discovered his feelings? Did his expression reveal any flaws in the conversation just now?
Yin Hanjiang repeatedly told himself in his heart that he must be cautious and cautious when getting along with the Lord in the future. As the deputy sect leader, it is natural for him to stay in Xuanyuan Sect to preside over the overall situation. He must not be disappointed because he cannot follow the Lord. Even if he is really sad in his heart, he must not show it on the surface.
The two people with their own thoughts came to Taiyin Mountain. Wen Ren'e landed outside the Ziling Pavilion's formation, avoiding the patrolling disciples. He took out a book to observe the development of the plot. He wanted to use this to decide whether to force his way into the Ziling Pavilion or order the Ziling Pavilion to open the door to welcome him.
Baili Qingmiao and his four companions had arrived at Taiyin Mountain three days ago. Baili Qingmiao turned around in front of the Wuchen Bell, a magical instrument used by the Ziling Pavilion to worship the mountain, wondering whether he should ring the bell.
According to Elder Qingrong, the Ziling Pavilion told He Wenchao and other disciples that there was only one lock core grass in the Ziling Pavilion, and it was difficult to hand it over to the Shangqing Sect. Unless they can find a way to grow another lock core grass seedling, and the lock core grass seedling must have a wildfire in Taiyin Mountain to grow, and the foundation of the Ziling Pavilion cannot be destroyed by the wildfire. It is too difficult to be careful while inciting the wildfire.
He Wenchao and others have been staying at Ziling Pavilion for some time, trying to find a solution around the tiankeng where a wildfire broke out three thousand years ago. Half a month has passed, but there has been no progress.
The purpose of Elder Qingrong's letter was not to ask Baili Qingmiao to complete this difficult task, but to hope that she could persuade Qingxue Zhenren and Hefa Sanren to take action. Qingxue Zhenren is a guest elder of Shangqing Sect, and she should have helped, but Qingxue's temper, it is said that the Nanguo family is still hunting her down. Shangqing Sect knows that Qingxue treats Baili Qingmiao very well, and hopes that Baili Qingmiao can persuade her.
In recent years, Hefa Sanren's reputation has spread throughout the cultivation world. The Zhongli family regrets it. Shangqing Sect also knows that Hefa Sanren and Baili Qingmiao were infected with the same heart Gu by chance, and Baili Qingmiao can persuade him.
With the help of Zhongli Qian, I believe that the conditions of Ziling Pavilion can be met.
As for Su Huai, he was just a Jindan-stage disciple, and no one expected him to play any role. Baili Qingmiao took him with him just to let the disciples travel thousands of miles and gain more experience.
But this gloomy Su Huai was the most arrogant among the four. Su Huai originally planned to plot against Baili Qingmiao to avenge the exorcism of the ghost. If there had not been a dead fetus born that year, which allowed him to borrow the corpse to revive, Su Huai would have been really scared. There was definitely a blood feud between Baili Qingmiao and him.
When he knew that Baili Qingmiao came to the town again and planned to accept him as a disciple, Su Huai immediately agreed and made up his mind to be a well-behaved and obedient disciple. He wanted to praise Baili Qingmiao, a righteous man, and let this silly woman think from the bottom of her heart that he was her most intimate and excellent disciple. In this way, when he plotted against Baili Qingmiao in the future, her distorted expression of shock and sadness must be very beautiful.
With this thought in mind, after Su Huai performed the apprenticeship ceremony, he felt a gaze and a creepy feeling.
He looked in the direction of the gaze and saw that his nominal master was licking his lips at him, which frightened Su Huai so much that he shuddered.
That night when Baili Qingmiao was meditating, Su Huai was taken to the thatched cottage by True Man Qingxue. Su Huai was simply unable to resist the power of a wandering immortal. The formation casually set up by True Man Qingxue prevented Su Huai from escaping, and even his cries for help could not be heard.
"Help!" The eighteen-year-old boy knocked desperately on the door, but the tall woman behind him grabbed him mercilessly.
"Don't move, let me take a good look at you." True Man Qingxue's eyes glowed, and he pressed Su Huai to the ground, put his palm to his heart, and said with shining eyes, "There is actually a heartbeat, it's a living ghost cultivator!"
"You know I'm a ghost cultivator?" Su Huai said in surprise.
He thought he had disguised himself well and had deceived Baili Qingmiao and others, but he didn't expect that Master Qingxue could see through his identity at a glance.
"How did you manage to cultivate the hungry ghost path while having a physical body?" Qingxue frowned and stared at Su Huai's heart, "Will it still be alive if it is dug out?" "
I don't know!" Su Huai collapsed under Qingxue's hungry wolf-like gaze, "When my soul was about to disintegrate, I felt the birth of a dead fetus. This child was born with dystocia. The soul that wanted to reincarnate into this body left, but the baby still had a trace of life. I possessed it and became what I am now, neither a living person nor a ghost cultivator."
The reason why Su Huai was able to enter the Qi Refining Stage without a teacher was because he often caught evil spirits near the town to eat. Originally, only ghost cultivators could absorb evil spirits. Su Huai had a special physique and could absorb the souls of evil spirits with the body of a living person and transform them into his own true essence.
After listening to his explanation, Qingxue thought deeply for a long time and said, "It seems that the problem lies in your body. I swallow your soul and then take your body. I guess I can restore my ghost cultivation body!"
This guy who looks like a Taoist master thought about it all night and only came up with such a bad idea! Is her brain a decoration?
Su Huai tried his best to escape. He was weak, pitiful and helpless. Just when he was held down by Master Qingxue to absorb his soul, Baili Qingmiao's voice came from outside the hut: "Master Qingxue, disciples, where are you? It's already dawn, we should set off."
"I guess it should be in the hut." The gentle voice of the blindfolded man came, "Master Qingxue is helping Miss Baili train new disciples."
"Really? I'll go and see." Baili Qingmiao smiled and pushed open the door.
The moment she opened the door, Qingxue let go of Su Huai and untied the formation in the room, allowing Baili Qingmiao to see the two of them smoothly.
"Master!" For the first time, Su Huai felt that Baili Qingmiao was actually a righteous cultivator with a beautiful heart. He rushed over and hugged her waist, secretly vowing that he would be good to Baili Qingmiao in the future, and would always stay with his master, and would never be alone with Qingxue Zhenren.
"Senior Qingxue must think that Su Huai is a naughty child, and secretly taught him to listen to the master, right? Hmm?" Zhong Liqian finally uttered the word "hmm" with a nasal sound, which shocked Qingxue and Su Huai.
Qingxue's skill is higher than Zhong Liqian's, but every time she sees his blindfold, she feels scared. Unlike Wen Ren'e's straightforward and violent way of dealing with things, Zhong Liqian is gentle, will not put pressure on anyone, and it is very comfortable to get along with him. But his insightful look always makes people feel afraid.
After this incident, Su Huai threw away the hatred of being beaten to the point of almost losing his soul, and sincerely recognized Baili Qingmiao as his master, and has always taken care of his master sincerely.
Seeing Baili Qingmiao pacing back and forth in front of the Wuchen Bell, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Master, are you afraid of being close to people?"
Baili Qingmiao was hit on the heart, blushed and said, "It's not that I will really fall in love with my senior brother again. My senior brother and Senior Sister Liu are a loving couple in Shangqing Sect, and I won't interfere. I'm just worried that I haven't seen them for 30 years, and I'm upset, which will affect Brother Zhongli."
Su Huai was afraid of Qingxue. Later, Zhongli Qianxiu became a son of silence, and his battle of wits and courage with Qingxue turned into a group for warmth. The relationship between the two eased, and Su Huai also knew that True Man Qingxue was a ghost cultivator and the master of the Nether Fire Altar of Xuanyuan Sect.
The Nether Fire Altar of Xuanyuan Sect! This is a large organization that these little ghost cultivators dare not even think about. From then on, Su Huai began to learn from True Man Qingxue, and his style of doing things gradually took on the color of Qiu Congxue.
"Master, don't worry. If you are confused, we will knock you out and drag you away. It will never affect Senior Zhongli." Su Huai said straightforwardly, and helped Baili Qingmiao ring the Mist Morning Bell.
Baili Qingmiao: "..."
Is it a generational relationship? Her apprentice is becoming more and more like Master Qingxue.
The Mist Morning Bell rang, and Baili Qingmiao presented a visiting card that could only be made with the secret mental method of the Shangqing Sect to show her identity. The disciples of Ziling Pavilion led four people in to see He Wenchao, but no one in charge of Ziling Pavilion was present.
He Wenchao came with Liu Xinye, and there were several disciples of the head sect who had a good relationship with him. He was stunned when he saw his junior sister whom he had not seen for thirty years. He looked at her from a distance and could not look away. He did not even feel Liu Xinye pinching his arm.
Baili Qingmiao was the same. Over the years, she has experienced two heavenly tribulations in the Spiritualization Stage and the Combination Stage. After each heavenly tribulation, she wanted to put down her stubbornness and go to find her senior brother, even if she could only see him from a distance.
If Zhong Liqian had not always felt Baili Qingmiao's feelings, brainwashed her in time, and had the powerful Qingxue guarding her, Baili Qingmiao would have secretly run back.
This time, seeing He Wenchao again, Zhong Liqian felt his heart pounding. Even if he couldn't see anything, he could feel how gentle and handsome the silhouette in the distance was.
The feelings that had been pent up for thirty years were too strong, and Zhong Liqian couldn't control Baili Qingmiao for a while.
Fortunately, Baili Qingmiao just moved forward half a step, and she felt a chill on her back. A cold wind blew, and she turned her head to avoid it. When she turned around, she saw Su Huai holding his life-long magic weapon, the Destroying Love Stick, and swung it over. The Destroying Love
Stick is forty meters long, as thick as Baili Qingmiao's waist. When it was refined, Zhong Liqian and Qiu Congxue helped, and it can be large or small, long or short.
Su Huai directly turned the Destroying Love Stick to its maximum size, and Baili Qingmiao avoided it in time, but He Wenchao, who was still looking at Baili Qingmiao in a daze thirty-nine meters away, was hit on the head. A golden magic weapon as thick as a man's waist smashed on his head. Even if He Wenchao was already a master of the Void Realm, it would not be easy!
Su Huai missed Baili Qingmiao with his attack. He shook the Destruction Stick in his hand and turned it into two thin sticks to smash Baili Qingmiao's crown. Baili Qingmiao had regained his composure with the help of Zhong Liqian. He quickly reached out to take his disciple's weapon and said, "Disciple, stop fighting. I'm fine."
Zhong Liqian then smiled and said, "Su Huai's life magic weapon is thanks to True Man Qingxue. It absorbed the resentment of thousands of evil spirits before they were reincarnated and integrated into the Love-Destroying Stick. These evil ghosts are all female ghosts who were abandoned or killed by men. Although the Love-Destroying Stick is only a quasi-immortal weapon, it has special power."
"When a woman is hit by the Love-Destroying Stick, her love will turn into hatred. The more she loves that person, the more she wants to kill that person. If a man is hit, Yin Qi will enter his body and he will lose certain abilities." Zhong Liqian didn't know how to explain the special effect, so Qiu Congxue proudly helped him to explain. This was the masterpiece of her and her disciple.
He Wenchao was hit on the head, but another part of his body was extremely painful. He couldn't check the wound in front of several junior brothers, so he could only bite his teeth and ask: "Junior sister, who is that guy behind you? Why did he hit you?"
The author has something to say:
Su Huai: I was forced to use such a weapon, do you believe it?
