"It's not my fault that I was born tone deaf." Song Qingshu's helpless expression revealed a hint of a smile. He thought of a story from his past life.
In his past life, Song Qingshu had a friend who met a drowning child when he was playing at West Lake in Hangzhou. He jumped into the lake without a care for his own safety, only to remember that he did not know how to swim … In the end, a lady who was passing by jumped in and saved him and the child. To thank the lady for saving his life, he treated the lady to a meal. After getting to know her, he begged her to teach him how to swim.
The lady was impressed by his willingness to risk his life to save the child, so she agreed. However, Song Qingshu's friend was so untalented that he could not learn no matter how hard he tried. In the end, it took him two months to barely learn how to swim. During this time, the lady taught him how to swim step by step. It was inevitable that they would have physical contact, and as they taught, they developed feelings for each other. Later, when Song Qingshu attended his wedding, the groom said the truth after drinking. It turned out that he had learned it in the first week, but he pretended that he did not learn it in order to stay with the lady. When Song Qingshu and the rest laughed at the bride, the bride smiled and said, "I knew he was pretending …"
"What a pair of cheating lovers." Song Qingshu could not help but curse as he recalled it. Looking at Dongfang Muxue's slender figure, he thought, "He's smart, but I'm not stupid …"
The two of them walked towards the Five Venoms Sect's main altar. Seeing that Dongfang Muxue did not ask for directions, Song Qingshu asked in confusion, "Sister, have you been to the Five Venoms Sect before?"
"I've been there before, that's why I'm on good terms with Indigo Phoenix." Dongfang Muxue recalled an old incident and still felt her face burning.
It turned out that when Dongfang Muxue visited the Five Venoms Sect as the sect leader, Indigo Phoenix fell in love with her devilishly handsome temperament. The Miao family's ladies had always been bold in their pursuit of love. One night, Indigo Phoenix took off all her clothes and ran to her room with only a thin blanket wrapped around her. She made Dongfang Muxue, who had always been cold and dignified, flustered. Indigo Phoenix inadvertently found out that the sect leader of the Sun Moon Sect was actually a lady, and her face turned pale with fright. According to Dongfang Muxue's usual style, she would definitely kill anyone who found out about this secret, even if the other party was a sect leader. However, when she saw the pitiful look on Indigo Phoenix's face, she thought that Indigo Phoenix had fallen in love with her. Her heart softened and she let her go. The Indigo Phoenix was so grateful that she treated Dongfang Muxue very affectionately. The two of them were like sisters in private. Then, the outside world started to spread rumors that the Indigo Phoenix had become the lover of the Dongfang Sect Leader …
As they entered the territory of the Five Poison Sect, Dongfang Muxue's face darkened when she saw the corpses of the Five Poison Sect disciples strewn all over the place. "Something happened to the Indigo Phoenix."
"It seems there are disciples from other sects as well." Song Qingshu observed his surroundings. The attire of the Five Venoms Sect members was very distinct and easy to recognize. The other people's attire was obviously the style of the Central Plains.
"Let's hurry to the main altar, I hope we can make it in time." Dongfang Muxue looked into the distance with an anxious expression.
"But your martial arts. Chapter 172: The Great Demon Among Demons
Martial … "Song Qingshu did not finish his sentence, but it was obvious what he wanted to say.
"I don't care about ordinary people." Dongfang Muxue grabbed Song Qingshu's shoulder and flew towards the main altar.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a forest. The forest was so dense that the sunlight could not pass through. The smog made the atmosphere very oppressive. Dongfang Muxue's voice rang in Song Qingshu's ears. "The Five Poison Sect is mysterious because most of the martial artists from the Central Plains who want to explore are blocked by the Heartless Ridge. Not only is the forest dense like a maze, but there are also poisonous insects and ferocious beasts everywhere. There is also a deadly miasma that can't be found anywhere. Ordinary people from the Jianghu will definitely die if they barge in."
"The forest is like a maze. Can't we just fly to the top of the tree and find the way out?" Song Qingshu was stunned. He could not help but think of the Taohua Island's Qimen Dun Jia. Could this thing be so magical?
"Have you forgotten about the miasma in the forest?" Dongfang Muxue explained, "All the arrays of the Qimen Dun Jia are surrounded by clouds and mist. If you fly to the top of the tree, you will only see a vast expanse of whiteness; you won't be able to see the way out."
"Let's just burn it," Song QingShu said gloomily.
"Putting aside the fact that the weather in Yunnan is so humid, you might not be able to ignite the trees in the forest. Even if you do," Dongfang Muxue said with a smile, "You will probably suffocate to death in such a large forest."
"It's not difficult to get out of the maze. If you run into a dead end, turn around and walk backward. If you run into a fork in the road, turn right or turn left, and you will be able to get out." In his previous life, Song Qingshu had played the Legend of Sword and Fairy, so he didn't think that arrays were scary. Instead, he was concerned about another problem. "If the Heartless Ridge is as powerful as you say, why did the enemies barge in so easily?"
"If I'm not wrong, it must be He Tieshou, the traitor of the Five Poison Cult, who led the outsiders in." Dongfang Muxue said in a low voice after they got out of the Heartless Ridge. The two of them quickened their pace and passed through the Sacred Beast Pool and the Ding Mountain Waterfall. The Zhu Rong Godly Temple, the headquarters of the Five Poison Cult, finally appeared not far away.
Inside the Zhu Rong Godly Temple, Indigo Phoenix and Qu Feiyan stood side by side. They looked at He Tieshou and the others who were approaching them with a serious expression. Indigo Phoenix scolded angrily, "He Tieshou, in order to seize the position of the Cult Master, you actually revealed the cult's secret to outsiders. Do you know that this is a great crime of having thousands of snakes devouring your heart?"
"Indigo Phoenix, you don't have to act like a Cult Master in front of me. The position of the Cult Master should have belonged to me. Back then, when I wasn't around, you seized the position of the Cult Master. That's also a crime of having thousands of snakes devouring your heart." He Tieshou stepped out from the crowd and smiled. She was in a good mood now that she had victory in her hands.
Indigo Phoenix sneered, "Two generations of Saintesses from the He Family were trapped by love. One of them lost the Five Poison Treasures for Long Tian, and the other one was even worse. For the sake of the Golden Snake Gentleman, Xia Xueyi, she turned the Five Poison Cult upside down. She was almost removed from the martial arts world … With that in mind, how would the people in the cult dare to let a woman from the He Family become the Cult Master? Looking at it now, your He family's women are all full of affection after all.
Seed, I heard that your lover, Yuan Chengzhi, was killed by the Cult Master Dongfang. You decided to betray the cult to avenge him, right? "
