Chapter 41 part 2
Now, the one sitting in the main seat wasn’t high-tiered deity Donghua. He was just a Cangjia disciple who hasn’t officially become the supremo yet. Zhuge Xu didn’t have any scruples when he spoke. After he finished, he wanted to laugh out loud a few times. To his surprise, the air in his throat had been blocked and blocked that laughter.
“Supremo Zhuge, don’t blame Qing Lian for disrespecting elder, for not having etiquettes and speak up against elder! Supremo being a head of a sect, while being a guest at Cangjia, you ridicule and are sarcastic. Although, we have to treat the guest with respect and treat Liyang well, but if supremo Zhuge continues to insult, then, don’t blame Cangjia for being disrespectful. I would like to ask supremo to go down Cangjia Mountain quickly with your disciples!” Once Qing Lian’s bottom line was touched, her whole personality would change like a lotus that broke out through the mud; cold and though.
Her words set the score for Cangjia’s disciples. Listening to it carefully, some people even applauded secretly.
Zhuge Xu naturally wasn’t a person who could tolerate being taught a lesson by a younger generation. However, even if he wanted to refute, he was helpless because he was frozen from his throat to his tongue and completely unable to move them. He looked at Feng Shu and saw that he (FS) swept over him (ZX) as if nothing was going on. Then, he lowered his eyes and thought in his heart: This Feng Shu was actually so powerful. Without a word or movement, he (FS) was able to make him unable to speak. If he (FS) used a bit more force when casting the spell, wouldn’t he be able to suffocate the lifeblood out his throat and take his life in the blink of an eye?
Thinking like this, Zhuge Xu was startled and no longer resisted. He lowered his head to cover his red face. The disciples of Liyang knew that their supremo was in the wrong, they also lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Hongluan said slowly, “It may not be a woman, and not even a …”
“You mean…,” Yu Liuli asked puzzled.
Perhaps, due to seeing Zhuge Xu being defeated, Cang Hai’s expression was a lot better at the moment. When he spoke, it was full of energy like his usual self, “The disciple who received the war challenge said that the senders were a man and a woman. The woman was dressed in white and the man in purple. Their appearances were impressive, but it couldn’t be seen from which realm they were, and we also don’t know if the two are “Jing Yan” or that they had just been sent to bring the war challenge.”
Hongluan said, “That is right. Some disciples of Donghua also said they had seen such two people when they (disciples of Donghua) entered the demon realm by mistake. It seemed that their cultivation isn’t shallow. Their actions when cutting demons were extremely neat. It seemed that it was just in between the talking and laughter of the two.”
“So, that “Jing Yan” truly want the internal core of the leaders of the five realms?” Yu Liuli didn’t conceal her surprise. “Before, the heart of the emperor of the mortal realm had been gauged out. Now, they went to the demon realm. Could it be that their next target is the demon king?”
“Very possible.” Hongluan and Cang Hai said at the same time.
Cloud Hall quieted down. Everyone seemed to be in deep thoughts. Hongluan and Yu Liuli swept over Feng Shu from time to time. Seeing that he didn’t intend to say anything at all, they also couldn’t ask. After all, he had just resurrected. And, Zhuge Xu was restrained by the spell and couldn’t speak. Also, he was worried about being found out and lose face. So, it was rare for him to be silent.
“Junior uncle Cang Hai, why don’t we first look at the movement of the demon realm? Once the identity and motives of the two are determined, we can discuss the countermeasures?” Qing Lian asked Cang Hai.
Cang Hai pondered for a moment. He turned and looked at Feng Shu, “Feng Shu, what do you think?”
Only now did Feng Shu’s eyelashes move a bit. His eyes opened slightly, and he made a “mm” sound.
Cang Hai didn’t get angry. He faced Hongluan and Yu Liuli and said, “What about supremo Yu and miss Hongluan?”
“This matter can’t be urged. Wait and see first is also a good strategy,” Yu Liuli replied.
Hongluan stood up and cupped her hands, “Hongluan also has no objections. That being the case, there are still many miscellaneous things to deal with at Donghua Mountain. Hongluan and the ten stars of Hongluan will take our leave first.”
Yu Liuli followed suit.
The sects took the same actions without prior consultation. They all ignored Zhuge Xu. No one asked for his opinion and no one said their goodbyes to him. When the disciples of Donghua and Juyu Mountain were almost withdrawn, Zhuge Xu thought about his own disciples behind him. He flung his sleeves and left.
In any case, he couldn’t let Feng Shu dissolve the spell in front of his disciples!
As soon as these people left, Qing Kui who had been standing still for a long time finally couldn’t bear it anymore and quickly left the hall. Qing Lian and Qing Nian also hurriedly followed.
“Senior brother Qing Kui! Why are you in such a hurry?” Qing Lian yelled after him.
Qing Kui said anxiously, “Didn’t you hear them say just now that Jing Yan went to the demon realm to get Qing Feng’s internal core? I have personally killed her once. I can’t watch her die once more.”
While Qing Kui spoke, he wanted to get on his sword. Qing Lian quickly shouted, “Wait, wait! Senior brother Qing Kui, don’t be impulsive!”
Qing Kui frowned, turned his head and said, “Qing Lian, could it be that you have forgotten? Qing Feng was once our little junior sister and was with us every day on Tianmai Peak for three hundred years. Even if she had become a demon and caused a big trouble at Cangjia Mountain last time, but she didn’t take the life of any disciple.”
“Senior brother Qing Kui, listen to me first.” Only now did Qing Lian caught up with him and grabbed his arm. She said, “Didn’t you feel that what had happened these days were very strange?”
They…had obviously died once!
The gloomy and cold wind of that night seemed to be still blowing in her heart and seemed to have never had dispersed. That night, Cangjia Mountain was covered in corpses. Blood flowed like a river and tears stained the hills. Such an -all dark and without daylight- night was carved in the bones and engraved in the heart. No one could forget.
However, after that night, everything seemed to be just a dream.
Cangjia Mountain was still green and sunny. The disciples still practiced cultivation as usual. They still laughed as if nothing had happened. Even eldest senior brother returned inexplicably.
“Even master couldn’t tell the reason. What use does it have to be entangled in these?” Qing Kui said impatiently, “Anyway, Cangjia Mountain is still here. Master and junior uncles are still here. The disciples are still here. Eldest senior brother had also returned. Only…”
Qing Kui suddenly choked and didn’t continue speaking.
Qing Lian was said. Yes, everyone came back to life. Only Ling Xi…
“If you want to understand these, go ask master or eldest senior brother. I will go to the demon realm first!”
Qing Kui threw off Qing Lian’s hand and left on the sword.
Qing Lian hesitated a moment and then followed him on a sword.
Qing Kui looked back and asked, “What are you following me for? Go back and take care of eldest senior brother!”
Qing Lian only said, “Qing Feng is also our little junior sister!”
As for eldest senior brother…
Eldest senior brother is very well now. After being resurrected, master talked a whole night with him and then retreated behind the scenes. He gave him (FS) the supremo’s purse of tail feathers and let him be in charge of the affairs of the sect. He (FS) doesn’t need her to take care of him and also doesn’t need her company.
Many years ago, she longed for his affection. Occasionally meeting one gaze of him was already enough to make her heart beat uncontrollably. Seeing him treat Ling Xi well, her heart felt very uncomfortable. She hated out of jealousy and felt repulsion. When his soul was dispersed and scattered, she hated Ling Xi to the core and hated that she (QL) couldn’t grind her (LX) bones and then scatter the powder.
However, after all these years, after experiencing so many things, those feelings had gradually faded away.
Perhaps, people’s feelings were like this. Because it was unattainable, one would pursue it vigorously step by step. Because being too high to reach, one would yearn for it. Because not getting it after seeking it, it would make it precious. She thought that it was love. Only after time had passed did she discover that she and he didn’t have memories together and there was no bond between him and her. The things that she chased after, yearned for and thought that it was love had always been her own wishful thinking that sketched flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected the lake.
