Chapter 287: Chapter 287: The Scapegoated Blood Transforming Demon Emperor_1
Shen Yi walked forward.
Beside the slender Mysterious Sword lay a Jade Slip.
He reached out, took it in his palm, closed his eyes, and infused it with his spiritual sense.
A mont later, a line of text appeared on the surface.
[Divinity Transformation (Rare). Shenxiao True Thunder Sword Technique: Not yet initiated]
Shen Yi opened his eyes and handed the Jade Slip to A’Qing.
“…”
A’Qing, curious, infused her spiritual sense, and her face changed color again and again, as if holding a red-hot branding iron, she instinctively threw the Jade Slip into the air.
Xu Wanyun had already been thinking about backing off after hearing that the sword ca from Wutong Mountain.
Now, catching the Jade Slip, her expression slightly darkened, “What does this an?”
A’Qing’s face was bitter, and she trembled, “Nie Jun…”
She had unwittingly viewed a precious Cultivation Technique from Wutong Mountain, and now she wondered if it was still possible to apologize sufficiently.
“Xuanjian True Person died at the Zheng Family?”
Xu Wanyun’s eyes widened as she looked at the Mysterious Sword, “That’s not right, this sword is both thinner and narrower than what’s described in the books, it looks more like it was prepared for a lady.”
“A lady… perhaps his disciple?”
A’Qing responded tentatively, normally Wutong Mountain doesn’t take disciples, but exceptions exist, such as when one of the twelve True Persons ets a junior they admire, they can record the na personally.
Recorded na disciples do not belong to Wutong Mountain and can only call themselves a student of a certain True Person, and they certainly can’t go around wielding a Cultivation Technique from Wutong Mountain.
Probably only Nie Jun would directly entrust such a precious technique to his disciple; after all, unless one were insane, who would dare to rob his disciple’s property?
“Have the Zheng Family eaten too much?”
Xu Wanyun swallowed her saliva; for cultivators, killing was not a big deal.
But there should be a reason, right?
To kill for treasures? If this Cultivation Technique was given to you, whether you can practice it or not is one thing, and even if you could, who would dare to use it?
Once word got out, even Mysterious Light Cave would be implicated.
“…”
Shen Yi glanced at the Mysterious Sword, suppressing the urge to put it in his Storage Bag.
The Golden Body had not returned yet; there was no need to stir up alarm.
He thought of the Gathering Spirit Furnace he had picked up from Zheng Zisheng’s body.
He also rembered when he was in Great Qian, how Nie Jun had pursued the Blood Transforming Demon Emperor because his disciple had died.
Could it be that the Demon Emperor had been wrongfully accused?
Even Nie Jun probably never considered that the perpetrator who dared to move against his disciple wasn’t a well-known entity but the inconspicuous Zheng Family under the command of Mysterious Light Cave.
His disciple had died here.
And then the bla was pinned on the Blood Transforming Demon Emperor, forcing the old bull to neglect his wife and children at ho, and providing himself with a chance to breathe.
However, it also led to its downfall.
As a result, the Thousand Demon Cave was enraged and about to seek revenge.
Shen Yi still had one question left.
A person who was favored by Nie Jun and even inherited the Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivation Technique must at least touch the threshold of Divinity Transformation.
Given the Zheng Family’s currently revealed foundation, how did they silently kill the other party?
To be able to shift the bla onto the Thousand Demon Cave, it indicated the disciple couldn’t even send out a ssage.
Shen Yi looked around.
He discovered that only those two items were stored in the room.
He withdrew his gaze, “Let’s go back first.”
“Okay.” Even A’Qing, still sowhat confused, realized the severity of the situation.
She quickly ford a spell, activating the Formation again.
Under Shen Yi’s lead, the three of them put everything back in its place and quickly left the Bamboo Tower, returning to the courtyard.
“This is untenable, let’s go!”
Xu Wanyun hadn’t had the chance to breathe a sigh of relief when she decisively made that judgnt.
The Zheng Family was not as simple as others seed to think.
A’Qing didn’t speak, just quietly stayed by the side.
She had seen the Gathering Spirit Furnace; it indicated that Zheng Zisheng knew about this and had chosen to cover up and share the spoils.
Moreover, with their power, being just a younger generation of Mysterious Light Cave, they couldn’t possibly perform a Year Wood transplant.
This affair was very likely to involve other Divinity Transformation True n from Mysterious Light Cave.
“Take note of the Formation diagram for .”
Shen Yi nodded toward A’Qing.
“You’re not leaving?”
Before A’Qing could speak, Xu Wanyun’s face already registered surprise.
One should not delve too deeply into casual acquaintances.
But considering that the other party had taken care of A’Qing for so ti, Xu Wanyun hesitated before continuing, “Although I too wish that soone could cause the Mysterious Light Cave to suffer a setback, this ti it’s too dangerous. Cultivation is not an overnight affair; if we miss this opportunity, as long as fate wills it, it’s not impossible to encounter another chance.”
Cultivation is a matter of fate.
As for heavenly and earthly treasures, who can say for sure? Perhaps stepping out of the Zheng family’s door, one might turn around and receive other news.
“…”
Shen Yi glanced at her.
To beco a standout in the Divinity Transformation Realm, plus considering the tight schedule,
placing hopes in the elusive concept of fate, was nothing short of self-deception.
Only by seizing every opportunity,
can one possess the chance to maintain their foundation.
“Please.”
He stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and then turned to walk into the room.
A’Qing realized apparently no one cared about her own opinion, “I certainly won’t leave.”
“Hah.”
Xu Wanyun swept her a cursory glance, putting on a smile in tis of levity was all well and good, but at tis like these, it was best to rein in such a willful temper.
“Go copy your Formation charts.”
Having said this, she walked to Shen Yi’s door, “I won’t stray far. If you decide to leave… or if sothing happens, I will be outside to back you up.”
The Xu family mbers were not rash but they also knew how to reciprocate kindness.
“Thank you.”
The young man’s reply ca from inside the room.
…
After lingering for six or seven days,
and feeling it was about ti.
“I didn’t co out with you to be under house arrest here!”
“You stay here by yourself then!”
Xu Wanyun’s face was full of indignation as she tugged A’Qing onto the wooden boat and soared into the sky.
This commotion caught the attention of quite a few people.
Soon, a Zheng family elder landed in the courtyard, curiously asking, “Daoist Shen, what’s the matter?”
“…”
Shen Yi didn’t reply, rely smiling.
“I understand, I understand,” replied the man with a smile, “The honored lady doesn’t know the dangers out here. Her actions are quite normal. Daoist Shen, rest assured, I will help you persuade her.”
As the two conversed,
three streaks of light shot up into the sky, blocking the way of the wooden boat.
“My lady, please calm down, let’s talk it over,” they said.
“What if I don’t want to talk nicely?”
Xu Wanyun’s face showed her annoyance vividly, and with a clang, she had already drawn her long sword from her waist, “My spouse and I’s affair, is it your place to intervene? Move aside!”
The three exchanged glances, their expressions tranquil, “We have no intention of ddling, but we simply do not wish to see the two of you develop any discord because of our Zheng family. If you must leave, we will not stop you, we only hope that my lady can calm down.”
As their words finished,
Xu Wanyun was already steering the boat directly ahead.
Just as she was manipulating her spell,
A’Qing suddenly looked askance, puzzled.
She saw her aunt’s movent freeze for a mont.
As if suddenly enlightened, she let out a sigh, “Hmph!”
She put away the boat, taking A’Qing with her down to the ground.
The onlookers gave a faint smile, “It’s good my lady has co to an understanding.”
Only A’Qing felt a chill envelop her entire being in an instant.
Her aunt’s deanor showed no abnormalities, and her reactions did not reveal any issues.
If she and Shen Yi were truly husband and wife, then it would be just like a wife acting impulsively in a mont of anger.
The problem was… their marriage was a sham.
