Chapter 525: Heavenly Demon Sect, the Finale and the Beginning of the Chapter
The night was cloudless, the stars were bright and the moon was shining.
On the top floor of the Star Pavilion in Donghuang Immortal City, on the open-air altar, Si Xuanji was wearing an exaggerated immortal dress that was several times longer than her height. She sat on a soft couch with her legs stretched out and looked up blankly at the starry sky.
Thousands of stars were all captured by those yin and yang eyes of different colors at this moment.
Since the war between the Immortal Family and the Demon Cultivator started, she had been looking at the star chessboard. How many heroes of the Immortal Family were falling, and how many demons had been turned into powder, all of which were reflected in her eyes with this sky-screen chessboard.
There were also several descendants of the Immortal family who were originally unknown to anyone, but who had made great achievements in the Eastern Domain.
The masters of the Beast Controlling Sect, Baiming Sect, and Huyue Sect also sent countless jade slips and praised those few people in an attempt to make Si Xuanji pay attention to those few people.
After all, she was the head of Xuanxing Sect.
Among the Immortal Sect masters in the Western Domain, who wouldn’t want to send their disciples to her and ask her to accept a disciple or give them an opportunity?
However, the people they recommended might be considered outstanding among the cultivators of their generation, but none of them caught her eye.
Si Xuanji could be picky.
Mr. Qi was more accurate in judging people. The young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect who was recommended to her was so good…
If you advance, you can destroy demons and break the sky, if you retreat, you can sleep for three months without rest…
Si Xuanji pursed her cat-like lips and turned to look at the dark star that was currently surrounded by the two stars “Heavenly Dao” and “Heavenly Demon”, with a little longing revealed in her yin and yang eyes.
In the past, a month was nothing more than a blink of an eye to her, but now that she had a Daoist companion, the days without her Daoist companion were like years.
Si Xuanji rubbed her belly and felt that she had overestimated her patience.
It was also her first time to have a Taoist companion and she had little experience.
I thought that Ye kid had fed her before and she could be hungry for a year and a half. However, within just a few months, her stomach started growling again.
I really want to be with Ye Anping…
“Sigh…”
Si Xuanji lowered her head and looked at Xiao Yunluo, who was rubbing her feet. Seeing that she was also distracted, she immediately shook her head slightly and turned to look behind her.
Pei Lianxue’s face was full of reluctance at the moment, and she squeezed her shoulders with all her strength as if she wanted to cause her pain.
Seeing her extremely awkward expression, Si Xuanji pursed her lips and asked:
“You are so unwilling to rub my shoulders and hit my back?”
Pei Lianxue curled her lips and complained:
“Well, reluctantly. I want to go find my senior brother…”
“I can understand that you want to find your senior brother, but why did you bring Yunluo and her, and only seven of you rushed into the Xuanming Sect to cause chaos?”
“…Well, I didn’t mess around. I chopped down the head of the Xuanming Sect… Ouch!”
Si Xuanji twisted her eyebrows and slapped her brain. She probably felt that Pei Lianxue’s forehead was hard, so she hit it so hard that a puff of smoke erupted.
Although Si Xuanji also knew that Pei Lianxue was quite strong, it was unlikely that the head of the Xuanming Sect would give her a hard time, but after all, it was a demon sect.
Pei Lianxue’s move to lead Xiao Yunluo into the Xuanming Sect was still a bit risky.
After all, the fact that Pei Lianxue and the others succeeded was partly due to luck.
If Zhou Minghe did not underestimate the enemy at the beginning, Pei Lianxue and the others would probably be trapped in the Xuanming Sect without help. Not to mention dying in the Xuanming Sect, they would at least be seriously injured.
Ye Anping entrusted Pei Lianxue to her care. If Pei Lianxue accidentally bumped into an accident, she would not be able to explain to Ye Anping later.
In Ye Anping’s mind, this stinky girl was of first-class importance, even more important than her.
Come to think of it, she was a little jealous.
However, she was not a small-minded person.
Si Xuanji was very open-minded, but she had no intention of competing with a bunch of little girls…
“You can’t see your senior brother any day sooner or later, why are you so anxious?”
Pei Lianxue rubbed her eyebrows and said:
“But Second Idiot followed him. If Second Idiot has evil intentions toward Senior Brother, wouldn’t Senior Brother suffer a lot?”
“Then I also have evil intentions towards your senior brother.”
Pei Lianxue frowned and glared at Si Xuanji, clenching her fists: “Then I will beat you in the future.”
“Don’t you want to beat me now?”
“I can’t beat you now… I’ll beat you when I can.”
Boom–
“Ouch!”
Si Xuanji slapped her brains out again, then gently grabbed her cheek and pulled:
“Then I will wait for that day.”
“Woo…”
Pei Lianxue suddenly puffed up her cheeks in frustration, like a little girl who lived in Hexi and Hedong for thirty years, with burning eyes and determination.
Xiao Yunluo, who was rubbing her master’s feet, listened silently to their conversation and couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.
Although at first glance, Si Xuanji didn’t seem to care, she was really worried that Lianxue had really pissed off her master, and then who knows how her master would respond…
Xiao Yunluo helped Si Xuanji rub her left foot and right foot, rubbing it back and forth for a while.
Suddenly, a burst of starlight appeared beside the three of them out of thin air. Qiu Shuirou escaped, walked to the soft couch with a frown on her face, nodded, and said:
“Young master, I just received the news. Chen Mingfeng, the leader of the Beiming Sect in the Southern Domain, and the five thousand Beiming Sect disciples he took with him, died in the Tianlan Valley north of the Blood River.”
Hearing this, Si Xuanji’s yin and yang eyes narrowed slightly, and she immediately looked up at the stars in the night sky.
The Beiming Sect was not a small sect in the Southern Domain. In terms of the number of disciples, it was much larger than the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, and it also occupied a lot of resources. Its sect leader Chen Mingfeng was still a cultivator in the middle stage of god transformation stage.
Xiao Yunluo was a little surprised for a moment and asked hurriedly:
“Aunt Qiu, which Demon Sect disciple did they meet?”
“I heard that they encountered a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect. The specific situation is unknown, but there are rumors that the person the demon cultivator challenged was just a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. He only took more than 500 people and killed all the Beiming Sect in Tianlan Valley.”
Si Xuanji’s expression was very calm. She only glanced at the starry field and caught a blood-red dim star point.
She had met the master of the Beiming Sect several times hundreds of years ago. Although he was not particularly outstanding, he was an old swordsman who survived the last battle between immortals and demons.
As the saying goes: Since ancient times, heroes have emerged in wartime, and a new generation replaces the old.
In the Immortal Family, many outstanding juniors had emerged in the past few months, and the same goes for Demon Cultivators.
That blood-red dim destiny star was probably also a genius among the demon cultivators.
Si Xuanji’s eyes narrowed slightly. She was a chess player. This demonic cultivator sacrificed a powerful chess piece, so she should have matched her moves. She just didn’t know that Pei Lianxue behind her and the person with the blood-red fate star Who wants to be more powerful?
After watching the stars for a moment, Si Xuanji touched her chin and asked, watching the trajectory of Ye Anping’s reverse star heading straight toward the person with the blood-red star.
“Girl Pei, don’t you want to find your senior brother?”
“Uh-huh!!”
“Yunluo, you and Pei girl will take the Heavenly Cloud Peak disciples to Yueluo Gorge.”
“Ah… Yes.”
Xiao Yunluo was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and gave the order. She breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she no longer had to press the master’s feet. Her hands were almost sore from the pressure.
Pei Lianxue also quickly moved off the soft couch, bowed her hands, and then put the Snow Spirit Sword next to her on her back.
“Girl Pei, be careful.”
“…Good!!!”
Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo nodded, and then walked quickly toward the star observation platform, and headed toward Donghuang City with their swords.
After the two of them left, Qiu Shuirou stepped forward and asked:
“Little Master, why don’t you let Elder Lei accompany you? After all, it’s Young Master Xiao and Miss Pei. If anything happens, but…”
“Just think of it as training. They should be able to meet Ye Anping and the others, so it will be fine.”
Si Xuanji narrowed her eyes and smiled, then relaxed and pondered for a while. She jumped off the soft couch and walked to a nearby sand table. She found that the sand table was so high that she couldn’t even see her feet. She immediately frowned and scolded her:
“Who made this sand table?”
“Uh… It was done by Elder Lei.”
“Oh…”
Si Xuanji curled her lips and floated directly above the sand table. She glanced at the exquisite mountains and rivers of the Eastern Domain above and said:
“It’s almost time me to leave. Let Mr. Qi and Big Fox come over… I have something to say to them…”
“Yes…”
…
——
At the same time, at the side peak of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Under the strong wind of black clouds, a tall mahogany building was brightly lit.
The Great Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, He Buqun, was currently propped up in front of a sand table, listening to the disciples sent out as scouts in the sect to report on the war in the Eastern Domain.
After the Immortal Family entered the territory of the Eastern Domain, within a few months, the Demon Sects outside the Blood River in the Eastern Domain were defeated by the Immortal Family one by one and retreated steadily.
The Ghost Spirit Sect faced the Empress of Han Tian Kingdom head-on. However, after losing Donghuang and the Seven Ghost Tombs were injured, despite defending for two months, they were still forced out by the Royal Guards led by the Empress. As for Gu, he don’t know where he was hiding now.
As for the Hehuan Sect and the Gu Poison Sect, because the two void realm cultivators died in the hands of the Daoist Zu, the sects were already in chaos. The immortal families from the Southern and Western Domains had stepped on the two sects, and now they all fled and took refuge with the Heavenly Demon Sect.
The difference in combat power was one of the reasons why the demonic cultivators retreated.
But the difference in combat power alone could not explain why it took the immortal family only a few months to cross the river of blood.
You know, the last time the Immortal Family and the Demonic Cultivators went to war, it took the Immortal Family nearly 150 years to reach the Blood River. After crossing the river, the Heavenly Demon Sect seized the opportunity to counterattack, and then gave up and withdrew from the East Domain.
But, how many months?
He Buqun suspected that there was a big mole inside the demon cultivator, and he had been tipping off the immortal family.
But who is this mole?
I am puzzled…
Who is so capable that he can tell the Immortal Family all the movements of the demon cultivators at all times?
Even he, the great elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, may not be able to have such detailed information…
What made him even more puzzled was that all the spies originally sent by the Demon Cultivator to the Immortal Family were exterminated by the Immortal Family more than a month ago, and not a single one was left…
Tread——
There was a sound of rapid footsteps.
A servant of the He family hurried in from outside the pavilion and shouted with joy:
“Master, the eldest lady is back!!”
He Buqun twisted his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly:
“Who?”
When the servant saw this look, he turned pale with fright. He quickly nodded and changed his words, saying:
“Young Master…”
Swish——
Before he could finish speaking, a streak of blood directly swept across his neck, and the servant fell to the ground with his head on the ground.
He Buqun frowned and ordered the book boys waiting on both sides:
“Drag him to the alchemy room to refine the blood elixir!! This is an example of what happens to someone who makes a slip of the tongue.”
“”Yes…””
The two book boys ran out while trembling, one holding their heads and the other carrying their bodies.
And when they ran out, a slender woman with a height of seven feet stepped across the threshold of the pavilion and looked at the dismembered servant. His sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes remained motionless and extremely sharp.
This person was He Buqun’s eldest “son”, He Qingjiao, who was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Because only men could practice the He family’s secret method, He Buqun actually wanted to use it to refine elixirs when she was born, but her aptitude was too good.
Compared with He Buqun’s other two sons, He Jiming and He Jifeng could be said to be one in the sky and two in the earth.
Therefore, He Buqun had no choice but to keep her, but gave her a man’s name so that she could identify herself as a man outside.
He Qingjiao walked into the room, threw the head in her hand onto He Buqun’s desk with a look of disdain, and said:
“Father, my son is back.”
“Hmm…” He Buqun lowered his head and looked at the head. Seeing that it was the leader of the Beiming Sect, he immediately raised his hand to stroke his beard, nodded with satisfaction, and said, “At the late stage of Nascent Soul, you can easily kill an Avatar… Qingjiao, you are much better than your two useless brothers.”
“Ha…Thank you for the compliment, Father. If there is nothing else, my son will go back to his room to gather his energy.”
“Wait a minute.”
As soon as He Qingjiao turned around, he stopped again, feeling bored, and walked back:
“But is there any news about Junior Sister Gu?”
“…Junior Sister Gu? You still call her Junior Sister? She is a traitor to the sect and is no longer your Junior Sister.”
He Qingjiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
“Father, I have said this many times. I know Junior Sister Gu’s temperament and I don’t believe she will betray us for the immortals.”
“But Ji Ming died in her hands, and that was your third brother.”
“My third brother likes to provoke her on weekdays. He should be killed. If just because of killing him, Junior Sister Gu will be accused of being an immortal spy. Father, please forgive my son for not accepting this.”
“…”
“What’s more… I went to see He Ji Ming’s body. He died of gu poison. It was not like Junior Sister Gu’s handiwork. If Junior Sister Gu had done it, he should have been chopped into pieces of flesh, instead of his upper body exploding, leaving the lower body in a dead state.”
He Qingjiao looked at He Buqun with sharp eyes, as if questioning him.
Seeing her look, He Buqun was silent for a while, and simply stopped hiding it and said bluntly:
“Qingjiao, I will confess to you as a father. It is true that Gu Mingxin did not have the power to become an immortal. I was the one who placed the crime of being an immortal on her, but He Ji Ming was indeed killed by her…”
He Qingjiao seemed to have known it for a long time, and waited for his father to say it. His face was not moved at all, and he just asked:
“Why?”
“If she is in the Heavenly Demon Sect, then you will never be accepted as a direct disciple by the Lord Hell.”
“Ha… It’s unnecessary.”
He Qingjiao raised his head and looked at his father:
“I only recognize her as the only one in the Heavenly Demon Sect. I originally planned to wait for her to form a nascent soul before fighting her. As the ancestor’s direct disciple, I will kill her during the sword duel.”
“Qingjiao, I know your temperament. If you really can’t find an opponent, why not go and fight with someone from the Immortal Family?”
“Ha… the Immortal Family?” He Qingjiao sneered, looked at the head on the table, and said, “This leader of the Beiming Sect, in the early stage of god transformation stage, only lasted one hundred and twenty moves in front of me before he was defeated by me and I cut off the divine thoughts…”
“Qingjiao, don’t be too crazy.”
He Qingjiao spread his hands and said, “I’m just stating the facts.”
“Then why don’t you just go to Xuanxing Sect and kill that old woman Danyue?”
“When I transform into a god in a few years, I might as well give it a try.”
“Snort…”
He Buqun snorted coldly, feeling that this girl didn’t know the heights of the world, but she didn’t say much, she just took out a scroll from the side and threw it into her hand:
“No, go and bring back the heads of these two girls.”
He Qingjiao unfolded the scroll and saw two somewhat abstract figures painted on the scroll. One was ordinary, while the other seemed to have a pair of dragon horns. He asked curiously:
“Who?”
“The one with horns is the young master of Xuanxing Sect, and the other one without horns is called ‘Liang Xiaoxue’. A few days ago, the two of them took four or five disciples of Xuanxing Sect and killed all the elders of the Xuanming Sect. It’s clean. According to the news, the spiritual sword in Liang Xiaoxue’s hand is the natal spiritual sword of Immortal Yunjian back then… She is also the successor of Yun Tianmi’s mantle.”
“Master Yunjian? Isn’t he the eunuched master of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect? I heard before that he destroyed Tianbei City alone, and I wanted to have a fight with him…”
“Ha… if you are arrogant, you will suffer big losses sooner or later.”
“Ha…” He Qingjiao twitched the corner of his mouth and said, “But it sounds like he has some background, so I don’t know if he is really powerful or just blowing a lot.”
After bowing to He Buqun, He Qingjiao put the scroll back into his storage bag, turned around, and exited the pavilion.
He Buqun seemed to have remembered something and added:
“Qing Jiao!! Go to the Heavenly Demon Palace and tell the ancestor that you beheaded Chen Mingfeng.”
“…”
However, there was no response.
He Buqun smacked his tongue slightly and sighed, but said nothing more and continued to think about the battle situation.
…
