352: Chapter 81 Farewell_2
Without evidence, it cannot be taken as truth.
She silently clenched the bamboo slip, not probing with Divine Thought imdiately, but asked in a hoarse voice, “Since you have done such a thing, why bother telling ?”
Is this to deepen the hatred?
Or is it to deliberately provoke a war between the Sword Palace and the Taoist sect?
“Xie Xuanyi has killed, but never dared to deny it.”
Xie Xuanyi’s expression was as usual, “Fang Hang wanted to kill , but unfortunately, he was no match and thus was killed by .
The rules of the cultivation world have always been like this, if soone seeks to kill , then it is only fair that I kill them in return.”
Shang Yi had intended to argue on Fang Hang’s behalf.
She and this Tai Shang House disciple had entered their master’s instruction together since they were young, cultivated and practiced swordsmanship, and could be considered childhood sweethearts.
Fang Hang had always been praised by the elders in their sect.
Kind-hearted, impartial, disciplined, possessing the backbone of the Taoist sect.
Logically speaking.
In a contest between the two sides, she should not hesitate to stand by Fang Hang’s side…
yet the events in the Dragon Array and the recent “slap in the face” made her realize sothing.
Perhaps, she had never truly understood Fang Hang.
The sect had repeatedly warned and ordered that during this Northern Hunt, they were not to et with Yan Xie, yet Fang Hang insisted on going.
If Fang Hang were truly disciplined, why would he act like this?
“So…”
Shang Yi sighed softly, unable to help but ask, “In the Dragon Array, was Xie Sheng’s death also unrelated to Master Xie?”
“The word ‘karma’, even if one retreats ten thousand feet, will still be stained.”
Xie Xuanyi chuckled lightly, “Xie Sheng died before my eyes – how could it have nothing to do with ?
It’s just that he wasn’t killed by ; instead, he attempted suicide and tried to throw the dirty water on Da Sui Sword Palace.”
These words.
If said earlier, Shang Yi would never have believed.
But now, she was sowhat shaken.
“Xie Sheng’s suicide was not yet complete, his ssage was transmitted first.”
Xie Xuanyi spoke indifferently, “In the end, it was the Dragon Girl of the Demon Race who couldn’t stand by, she took action and killed Xie Sheng and took away the Red Dragon.
This footage is within the bamboo slip; you can take it back to the Taoist sect and deliver it into the hands of your master Shu Ning for judgnt.
If you truly consider Xie Sheng one of your Taoist sect, you can seek revenge from ‘Ao Ying’ in the Demon Country.”
“???”
Ao Ying, who was watching the drama from miles away, was stunned at this mont.
She angrily transmitted her voice, “Xie Xuanyi, aren’t you going too far?”
Because she’s in the Demon Country, is she the one to be scapegoated?
What if Great True Master Chong Kan really does decide to cross north in his true form, how could she withstand it?
Shang Yi pursed her lips.
She probed the bamboo slip with Divine Thought and saw the “partial truth” within the Dragon Array.
Of course, Xie Xuanyi wouldn’t release the complete footage.
However.
He deliberately left a trick, revealing a brief glimpse of the scene as the black-robed figure of Chong Kan erged after Xie Sheng’s death.
Shang Yi was very astute.
The last scene in the bamboo slip was fleeting, yet she saw the familiar silhouette of an “elder.”
“This is…”
Shang Yi’s pupils constricted.
Although it was only for a brief mont.
She still realized that it was the remnant shadow of the Divine Thought of the Taoist Great Perfected “Chong Kan”!
She looked incredulously at Xie Zhen.
Wait…
Why would the Divine Thought of Great True Master Chong Kan be within Xie Sheng’s body?
Why would it erge from the Grotto Heaven after the death of Prince Jiangning?
For a mont.
Cold sweat broke out on her back and soaked through her white robe.
Over the past ten years.
The great fa of Prince Jiangning overshadowed many, including Da Chu.
The Red Dragon Fortune, the child of destiny, the future pillar of the Jiangning Xie Family…
Shang Yi had heard countless such praises.
But at the mont she saw the Divine Thought of “Chong Kan”, she felt a chill rising from her Heart Lake; it turned out that all these years of fa and praise were simply transactions, a business.
Pitiful and ridiculous.
Herself, a Direct Disciple of the Yuqing Pavilion Master…
Yet unaware!
The Jiangning Xie Family had such deep connections with the Taoist sect!
At this mont, she finally understood why in the Dragon Array, Xie Zhen, despite being misunderstood by her, never argued in front of everyone.
The matter was of such importance.
Should Xie Xuanyi reveal “Chong Kan”, how would this affair end?
Now Shang Yi only felt it was absurd.
Let alone Fang Hang.
Perhaps she doesn’t even truly understand the “Taoist sect” that raised her for decades!
“Master Xie Zhen, this matter is considered a huge favor owed to you by Shang Yi, owed by the Yuqing Pavilion.”
Shang Yi took a deep breath, her hands forming a fist in salute, her voice solemn as she transmitted her ssage, “If I can successfully escape this predicant, I will report the content of this bamboo slip to my sect in full.”
“Miss Shang, after reading this bamboo slip, destroy it,” Xie Xuanyi said calmly.
Xie Xuanyi’s voice was level as he continued, “Such an item, for you, is only a catastrophe waiting to happen.
I suggest you return to the Taoist sect and keep this matter to yourself.
If you truly cannot put it to rest, then confide only in your master.
If she does not believe you, then pretend nothing ever happened.”
“…”
Shang Yi gazed aningfully at the young man in black.
She nodded slowly and without another word, mounted her sword and left.
…
…
The yellow sand was flying.
Xie Xuanyi used his Qi Control to arrive where Ao Ying was.
As expected, the demoness had an air of resentnt at the mont, her stunning face shrouded by a faint layer of anger.
Even though a soul oath had been sworn,
they were not master and servant.
Ao Ying was straightforward and did not hesitate to mock, “Master Xie, you have such great abilities…
Is this your thod?
Are you not afraid that next month I might die at the hands of Master Chong Kan?”
“Chong Kan’s speed is not that fast,” Xie Xuanyi said unperturbed.
Xie Xuanyi said with equanimity, “Crossing to the north is no simple task.
Such high-level Great Perfected, if they were to cross in their physical form, would risk a fatal disaster upon being discovered by any of the Great Venerates.”
During the Battle of Poisoned Wine, his master, Zhao Chunyang, crossed north to slay demons, and in the pursuit of a Great Venerate, incidentally killed many demon cultivators.
But this was Zhao Chunyang!
How many formidable figures in this world dare to cross in their true form to the north?
If besieged by the demon races’ Great Venerates and trapped in layers of Lifebound Cave Heavens, no one in this world could say for certain that they could definitely escape!
As for Chong Kan, this Taoist second-in-command, naturally could not compare to Master Pure Yang.
“What kind of talk is this?”
Ao Ying clenched her teeth with indignation, “He finds crossing to the north difficult, so you gave
up instead?”
“The death of Xie Sheng must fall on soone’s head.
By taking this disaster for , you are also amassing virtue for yourself,” Xie Xuanyi said with a light chuckle.
He could imagine the troubles that would await him upon returning to Da Chu.
Many had perished in this Northern Hunt.
The death of Fang Hang, whether or not there was evidence, Tai Shang House would hold him accountable.
This trouble, Xie Xuanyi was unconcerned about.
In contrast, the death of Xie Sheng was more worriso.
However, with Shang Yi and the recently delivered bamboo slip, Xie Xuanyi was quite confident he could disentangle himself from this difficulty.
“Pah.”
Ao Ying did not appreciate his efforts and angrily retorted, “I accumulate virtue for you, but who accumulates virtue for ?”
Master Chong Kan, after all, had a volatile temper.
She did not understand what the Red Dragon Fortune truly ant for Chong Kan…
If this Great Perfected really were to cross to the north in the flesh.
How would she escape?
“After returning to the Demon Country, find a serene and unpolluted place,” Xie Xuanyi said, placing a fist to his lips and coughing lightly before speaking earnestly, “Having reached Perfect Cave Heaven, your Dragon Blood complented, and with the Red Dragon Fortune consud, concentrating on the Tao Rules, you’ll need at most three to five months.
If all goes well, even to breakthrough to Demon Venerable might only take a year.”
A year.
For a cultivator, this was a short ti.
Daoist Chi Hun had been stuck at the step of Perfect Cave Heaven for a full ten years.
“This year, I’ll keep a close watch over the Taoist sect for you.” Xie Xuanyi promised,
“If Master Chong Kan truly leaves Da Chu early, I’ll notify you imdiately with the ‘Lotus Token.’ Rest assured, I have informants within the sect who can keep
updated on Chong Kan’s movents.”
“What’s the use of that?”
Ao Ying was taken aback and asked, “If he cos, do you have a way to help
escape?”
“Naturally…
there’s no way,” Xie Xuanyi said gloomily.
“The Divine Skills of the Yangshen Realm are beyond the reach of a re Cave Heaven Realm cultivator.
If within a year, he heads north, even if you exhaust every trick, there’s no chance of survival.”
Xie Xuanyi said darkly, “Miss Ao, the scenic spot you picked out earlier can serve as an excellent tomb for a long rest.”
“Very well…,” Ao Ying said, forcing a smile, “So the great Xie Xuanyi does tell such cold jokes.”
Xie Xuanyi rarely smiled.
“Relax.
Just joking with you.”
Ao Ying beca serious and said earnestly, “Actually, I am not afraid of Chong Kan crossing north.
If within a year, he really heads north in the flesh, I also have a way to survive this disaster…
but you must promise , if he truly leaves the sect, you must let
know.
Do you really know soone inside the sect?
Can that person be trusted?”
“Reliable,” Xie Xuanyi affird.
Then Xie Xuanyi fell silent.
Speaking of the sect, he now thought not just of one person.
Apart from Tang Fengshu,
There was now one more person.
Deng Baiyi.
