Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Young Master, since you’ve brought a trendous amount of harm and loss to Holy Jail Sect and Hou Mansion, they wish to get rid of you as soon as possible. However, they do not wish to clash with Free Cloud Sect in Ying Prefecture. Hence, they paid a great price and brought us in to deal with you." Shi Mu Zhong said pitifully.
"Up till this point, you refuse to speak the truth?" Pei Zi Yun cleared his throat. He had the mories from the original owner and knew that Shi Mu Zhong clearly belonged under Xie Cheng Dong and Black Alter Sect. There was no way that he would fall under the command of Holy Jail Sect.
This man had already surrendered his life over to , and yet is still trying to incite more problems. At this point Pei Zi Yun’s hatred for him grew. He didn’t speak further. Instead he raised his hands and conjured the energy into his palm before slapping it down hard on the top of Shi Mu Zhong’s head.
Shi Mu Zhong gave a loud groan. His skull had clearly been broken into many pieces, and yet his brain was still intact. His entire body turned limp as he slumped down. Pei Zi Yun then pressed a finger to the top of his head.
This was a technique he had learnt from his senior grand uncle’s mories. It was a Yin Master level technique of interrogation. He would sever the spirit from the body and cause unparalleled pain to the victim. He pressed his finger down on Shi Mu Zhong with more force. Instantly, Shi Mu Zhong stood up like a puppet. His eyes had a look of deep fear, as blood dripped out from all his orifices.
"Young Master, please spare , let cross over to the other side and be reincarnated. I will tell you everything. Everything." Shi Mu Zhong had been placed under Pei Zi Yun’s extrely vicious technique, and he felt as though his spirit was about to be torn into a million pieces. He then started begging for rcy.
"How did you manage to find ?" Pei Zi Yun asked.
"Young Master Pei, my master rebelled against the will of the heaven and managed to change the ultimate destiny, and alter the grand sche of affairs. He managed to gain access to twenty years worth of heaven’s will. He then jumbled up the destinies of different people so as to plunder a desirable fortune and destiny for Young Master Xie. That’s how we managed to gain insights."
"However, recently there’s been several unprecedented and unexpected changes. When we investigated further, we discovered that Young Master Pei was behind it all. I was thus ordered to co…."
"No! No! Master! How could you’ve placed such a malicious restriction over my spirit." Shi Mu Zhong spoke out, his entire face fell as he groaned out loudly, clearly in intense fear.
Shi Mu Zhong seed to finally regain control over his own body and broke free from Pei Zi Yun’s spell. He then fell to his knees and opened his mouth as though to scream out in agony, and yet he could not scream out due to so blockage. Soon after, a stream of black blood was being emitted from his mouth and nose.
This black blood reeked of pungent death, almost as if Shi Mu Zhong himself had been dead for many days. Pei Zi Yun could not help but back away in repulsion.
"No!" Shi Mu Zhong started screaming out, clearly horrified. Black energy started streaming out from the pores of his body. At this point dark clouds lood overhead, causing everything before them to go dark. A whip of lightning cracked through the dark clouds, illuminating everything for a fraction of a second.
Shi Mu Zhong then fell face first onto the ground, covered in his own pool of black blood, and didn’t move any further.
"Utter destruction of the soul?" Pei Zi Yun stepped forward to look at Shi Mu Zhong and broke out in cold sweat. To be able to do sothing like this to soone else was not a particularly common ability. Shi Mu Zhong’s master must’ve been an extrely formidable person. He then thought to himself, 'To rebel against the will of heaven, and plunder destinies? Could there really be soone of such capabilities around? Was the original owner’s failures linked to this?'
'The waters here are getting deeper and deeper!'
Black Alter Sect, Monastery
"Boom!"
The roar of thunder echoed and reverberated throughout the entire sky. The blind Daoist’s face turned pale as he pushed open the window. A gust of wind carrying the sll of blood blew in, causing the blind Daoist to shudder in fear.
Although this person was blind, he appeared to be looking out. Half of the entire sky was obscured with dark, heavy clouds. Before he had ti to think of anything else, several bolts of forked lightning coursed through the sky and crashed heavily down. It seed almost as if the bolts of lightning was about to strike the blind Daoist. At this point a huge wave of black aura surrounded the entire monastery, and deflected the blows of lightning.
"Boom!" A statue which took the shape of the blind Daoist imdiately shattered. Cracks started to show up on the face of the blind Daoist as well, as he fell to the ground. A pungent sll started streaming out from his body, as black blood gushed out. The sll was exactly the sa as the stink emitted from Shi Mu Zhong’s body, as if they had been dead for a very long ti.
"Pow!" That was not all, the tal anchor which was the sacred symbol within the monastery seed to have been struck by the lightning as well as cracks started forming on the surface. It was almost as if all of heaven and earth was rocking.
"Dao Leader!" The little Daoist in the monastery ran into the room and shouted.
"Boom!" Pei Zi Yun listened to the incessant rumble of thunder and looked at Shi Mu Zhong’s lifeless body on the ground. He was still bleeding black, pungent blood. At this point, the Plum Blossom appeared into his vision and indicated that the mission of weeding out Xie Cheng Dong’s n in Ying Prefecture had been completed.
"Shi Mu Zhong, you’re finally dead." Pei Zi Yun looked at his body with disgust. Shi Mu Zhong didn’t expect to finally die at the hands of his own master.
'In conclusion, Xie Cheng Dong has soone behind him that could plunder the fortunes from heaven, and manipulate destinies. It’s no wonder Xie Cheng Dong could rise up to prominence and power in the previous life, and transform his mortal flesh into a saintly being. I have to get rid of soone like that.' Pei Zi Yun didn’t look too good.
'And what was that thunder all about? Could that be the backlash from heaven? It’s a pity I didn’t manage to find out where his master resided, if not, I can head down and kill him as well.' Pei Zi Yun thought to himself.
"Young chieftain, the evil doer Song Zhi is trying to escape." Pei Zi Yun’s thoughts were interrupted by He Qing Qing’s exclamation. When he turned around, he saw one arm Song Zhi struggling free of the shackles. His entire body was soaked with blood, and a trail of blood could be seen on the ground.
"Cough cough!" Shen Zhen, He Qing Qing and Ye Su’er just ca out, their faces were covered black with soot and had inhaled much smoke.
"Song Zhi, where do you think you’re trying to go?" Pei Zi Yun imdiately caught up with him.
Song Zhi turned around to see Pei Zi Yun standing over him. Song Zhi’s eyes were full of fear. How could Pei Zi Yun have accomplished sothing like this? To open the gates of heaven was one thing, to full assimilate and transform to a Yin Master required at least a month. How could Pei Zi Yun have reached such a level?
'He must’ve so latent treasure hidden. He has to own sothing extraordinary. I cannot accept it!' Song Zhi tried to escape, his body moved in a blur as he dashed forward. He was cursing himself deep down, 'Damn it, if only I found out about this earlier.'
"Where do you think you’re going!" When Pei Zi Yun spoke, it seed like as though he was whispering into Song Zhi’s ears, causing him to tremble violently in fear. He used his remaining left hand and slashed blindly behind him. However he was so weak that the slash for extrely feeble. Just as his hands stretched out, Pei Zi Yun deflected the sword and it flew high up into the air.
Song Zhi fell to the ground from the force used by Pei Zi Yun and the wound on the stump of his right shoulder split opened, as he spat out a large glob of blood. He struggled to his feet but failed, his eyes were transfixed on Pei Zi Yun.
Pei Zi Yun’s eyes bore a severe look of killing aura. At this point Song Zhi was kneeling on the ground. He scread loudly, "Zi Yun, Zi Yun, we’re fellow brothers. I was enchanted and placed under the spell of Shi Mu Zhong, please do not kill . Please spare ."
Pei Zi Yun glanced down at the blood stained man on his knees before him. His entire right hand had been severed from his shoulder and he was kowtowing pitifully before him, and made for a disgraceful sight.
Song Zhi was crying, and mucus and tears stread down his face. Pei Zi Yun suddenly recalled the mory from the original owner, an image of Song Zhi looking extrely vicious and rciless as he glanced down at the original owner with depraved eyes. Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly, "Even if I wish to spare you, there’s soone who wouldn’t spare you. For betraying that person, and harming him, ultimately causing his death. The debt shall be paid today."
Pei Zi Yun looked at him, and drew similarities to how the original owner had been tortured within the jail cell of Dark Altar Sect. Pei Zi Yun could feel the original owner speaking through his body, as he shouted vehently, "Song Zhi, you traitorous scum. You dare to betray Free Cloud Sect for your own selfish desires, and caused my downfall. This is the day I shall kill you."
Seeing that Pei Zi Yun’s sword was raised, ready to end his life, Song Zhi didn’t seem to understand what Pei Zi Yun had said. He then begged fearfully, "No, I’m the Sect Leader’s disciple, and a disciple of Free Cloud Sect, you can’t kill . How dare you attempt to kill ?"
"et your maker!" Pei Zi Yun then swung his sword down at Song Zhi’s head. Just as the sword was about to hit Song Zhi’s flesh, he heard soone shout out frantically, "Spare him."
It was the voice of the Sect Leader. When Song Zhi heard this voice, he heaved a deep sigh of relief. At that point in ti, Pei Zi Yun had a fraction of a second left to pull back and spare him, and yet he didn’t hesitate and allow to sword to decapitate the man kneeling before him. With a "pu", Song Zhi’s head flew up high into the air, his eyes had the sa look of disbelief. He could not believe that Pei Zi Yun truly dared to kill him. The head then landed onto the ground and rolled for so ti before reaching a stop. His mouth almost seed to be speaking, and yet he had no body to vocalize his words.
A gust of strong wind billowed upon the group of people present. Pei Zi Yun’s blade didn’t seem to be satisfied with the death of Song Zhi as it swung montarily, shaving the grass just above ground, causing soil and grass particles to fly all around.
The Sect Leader dashed over, and gazed upon Pei Zi Yun icily as he pointed, "You, how dare you…."
"So it’s the Sect Leader, I didn’t notice that you’ve co, please forgive for my wrong doing." Pei Zi Yun looked extrely remorseful and fearful, and yet deep down he was laughing frantically.
Pei Zi Yun then bowed deeply before speaking, "Song Zhi collaborated with outsiders and plotted to kill . His cri was worthy of the death sentence. Furthermore he even killed more than ten people working for my household, and planned to humiliate my woman. If it weren’t for the fact that I got here quickly and broke through his plans, I dare not think of what might have happened. Everyone here can vouch for everything I’ve just said."
"Since Song Zhi has already died to my sword, I urge the Sect Leader to pronounce him guilty in death." Pei Zi Yun didn't back down and spoke out loudly.
"If you killed him in self defense, I could accept. But Song Zhi was clearly helpless, down on his knees and had surrendered. You still killed him anyway. That in itself is a violation of Sect rules. You! You! You!" The Sect Leader’s face turned red, "You've already killed him, and refuse to let him go even in death, and insist that I pronounce him guilty?"
"Pei Zi Yun, the sect has its own way of discerning guilt and judgent. You must not speak to the Sect Leader and presu to tell him what to do." Elder Chen stepped forward and spoke.
Yu Yun Jun was still reeling in shock. She had always known that her disciple was an extrely proficient swordsman. However, to open the gates of heaven and beco a Yin Master under such extenuating circumstances was extraordinary and amazing. He’d even managed to kill Song Zhi in front of the Sect Leader. Song Zhi wasn’t just a nobody, he was a tenth level full circle foundation disciple, and was the senior brother to all the disciples of his generation.
Seeing the scene before him, she stepped forward and chided him as well, "Zi Yun, how could you speak to the Sect Leader this way. Apologize now. Song Zhi collaborated with outsides to harm his own sect’s fellow brother and even attacked him. Such a sin could not and would not be forgiven and forgotten. We have Paradise belonging to our sect. Don’t tell you don’t believe that the Patriarchs will just sit by idly? Song Zhi would still be in state of punishnt three hundred years after his death, he will not be able to escape."
"Sect Leader, I should not have undermined your authority." Pei Zi Yun heard Yu Yun Jun’s words and stepped forward to apologize.
The Sect Leader was trembling from head to toe, "Fine.. fine…"
"Su’er!" The Sect Leader of True Elent Sect showed up at this point. The minute Ye Su’er saw her master, she hurriedly ran into her embrace.
"Master, Song Zhi almost got what he wanted and tried to take advantage of . Thankfully Brother Pei defended and killed him." Ye Su’er started crying.
Hearing Ye Su’er words, the maiden of a Sect Leader’s face fell. Hearing her recount of the incident she seed extrely unhappy. "Li Han Zhi, is that how you teach and guide your disciples? My Sect is not one you can bully and trample over. You have to provide an explanation and account for sothing like this."
Elder Chen hurriedly intervened, "Everyone calm down, let’s not get agitated. We should investigate thoroughly everything that happened first. Since these people are already dead, and the underworld will not be dispatching the souls anywhere, this matter will be extrely simple. Once we use our Dao arts, the truth of the entire matter will co to light."
"And you, Pei Zi Yun. Since you’ve already broken through the gates of heaven, you should check everything out clearly as well. Only then can you understand whatever happened."
To achieve the status of Yin Master after two years was a remarkable feat that left Elder Chen deeply impressed, and yet had his own doubts as well. He wondered if Pei Zi Yun had received help from outsiders and got to such a stage.
The maiden nodded her head, "This matter concerns both our sect. We should bring the truth to light together."
Hearing this words, Pei Zi Yun knew that a plan had already been set into motion. At this point the guards of the village gathered hurriedly and strode over. Only after seeing a familiar face among the group of people did they stop outside.
Pei Zi Yun then told the village chief, "Soone had attacked us, but we’ve killed them off. Collect their corpses and pile them up together."
"Among so of the dead bodies are my servants and guards. Separate them from the perpetrators. Buy a coffin for every one of them, and pay thirty taels of silver to their family to compensate for their deaths."
"As for cleaning to blood stains, I shall leave it all up to you."
As he finished speaking, Pei Zi Yun bowed before speaking, "Elder Chen has a point. This disciple will cooperate to the best of his abilities."
