After confirming Ling Yun's identity, Master Xuanzhi was extremely excited. He didn't even hesitate to reveal his Xiantian Realm aura in front of Ling Yun. His monk robe fluttered even though there was no wind. It was obvious that the Xiantian True Qi in his body was surging.
He didn't even shift his gaze. He raised his hand gently and patted Murong Feixue's shoulder, sending her a telepathic message to tell her that everything was fine.
Ling Yun could feel that Master Xuanzhi didn't have any intention of attacking him even though he was excited. There wasn't even a trace of killing intent.
"Miss Murong, I would like to have a word with Ling Yun. Can you wait here for a moment?"
Master Xuanzhi's voice trembled as he looked at Murong Feixue.
Murong Feixue couldn't make up her mind and turned to look at Ling Yun. "Big Sister Murong, wait here for me." Ling Yun stood up and said to Murong Feixue.
Ling Yun and Master Xuanzhi walked out of the meditation room under Murong Feixue's shocked and confused gaze. They soon arrived at an extremely quiet meditation room. Master Xuanzhi closed the door carefully after Ling Yun entered.
"From the looks of it, Master Xuanzhi was one of the people who knew about what happened eighteen years ago?" Ling Yun asked telepathically.
Surprisingly, Master Xuan Zhi shook his head and said, "I wasn't in the Lingjue Temple back then …"
"Oh? In that case, how did Master Xuan Zhi know so much about me? "
The corners of Master Xuanzhi's mouth twitched. He took a deep breath and said, "Little friend Ling Yun, all of this was told to me personally by my senior brother, Xuanming."
After Master Xuanzhi finished speaking, he no longer hid his strength. It was obvious that he had seen through Ling Yun's martial arts. His figure flashed and his robes fluttered as he appeared in front of Ling Yun.
Of course, Ling Yun wasn't surprised. He said sincerely, "Master, please tell me what happened that year."
This matter was related to Ling Yun's birth mother and the Ling Family. He naturally had to get to the bottom of it.
Master Xuanzhi didn't need to hide anything from Ling Yun anymore. "I didn't expect you to have such shocking cultivation. I'll tell you everything I know then." Master Xuanzhi nodded and said to Ling Yun.
With that, Master Xuanzhi used telepathy to speak to Ling Yun.
Actually, what happened wasn't complicated. On a stormy night 18 years ago, Grandmaster Xuan Ming was meditating in his room when he suddenly heard the sounds of an intense battle outside Lingjue Temple.
At that time, Master Xuan Ming was already at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Five. He could feel that the people fighting outside the Lingjue Temple were all at a very high level. Thus, he flew out of the meditation room and headed straight for the place of the intense battle. He wanted to see what was happening.
Then, he saw two experts fighting fiercely on a steep cliff outside the Lingjue Temple. The force of their fists and palms could actually send sand and stones flying.
The two experts were both masked and dressed in black. Judging from their figures, they were a man and a woman. The man was tall and skinny, and his arms were unusually long. The woman had a slim figure, and her qinggong was exceptionally high. As she flew, her figure was extremely graceful.
However, the woman's martial arts were clearly inferior to the masked man. She was already seriously injured and in a dangerous situation.
Master Xuanming was at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Five. His experience was extraordinary. He immediately determined that these two were experts from the Devil Sect when he saw their True Qi and their moves.
However, what Grandmaster Xuan Ming didn't know was that such an expert from the Devil Sect was rarely seen. Why was he risking his life on this stormy night outside the Ling Jue Temple?
Very quickly, Grandmaster Xuan Ming heard the conversation between the two of them and understood what was going on. It was actually because of a child.
The man chased the woman to the outside of the Lingjue Temple, but he didn't know where the woman hid the child. Knowing that he was tricked, he appeared in anger and wanted to interrogate the woman.
"Sikong Tu, that kid's meridians have been secretly destroyed by you guys. He won't even live past the age of 20. Why do you still want to kill him?! Do you know that he's the biological son of my young mistress? "
Sikong Tu laughed coldly. "It's precisely because he's your young mistress's son that I'm here to kill him. Otherwise, why would I have to do it myself?"
"The Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect is really wishful thinking. She wants you to send this bastard out without a word and let him grow up in this world. She must be dreaming!"
The woman from the Devil Sect trembled. "Aren't you afraid that I'll go back and report to my young mistress? She'll turn you into ashes if she finds out!"
At this time, Sikong Tu laughed maniacally. "Your young mistress? Turn me into ashes? Today, one by one, I guarantee that you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow! "
"Old bald donkey, stop hiding and come out! I'll send you on your way! "Sikong Tu had already discovered Master Xuanming's whereabouts.
Master Xuanming knew that he was no match for Sikong Tu, but he could only show himself and fight Sikong Tu with the woman.
However, the difference in their realms was too great. Master Xuanming was at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Five, but he wasn't even a match for the injured woman. The two of them fought with all their might, but they still weren't Sikong Tu's match.
Within a few moves, Master Xuanming had been hit by Sikong Tu's palm three times. His body was already severely injured, and the injured woman vomited blood again.
However, the woman was extremely smart. During the intense fight, she secretly told Master Xuanming where the child was hidden. She told him not to worry about her and to rescue the child.
Without a doubt, that child was the current Lingyun.
In order to cover Master Xuanming's escape, the woman fought Sikong Tu with all her might. She only attacked and didn't defend, giving Master Xuanming a chance to escape.
Even though Master Xuanming couldn't bear to see the woman killed by Sikong Tu, he knew that if he stayed, the two of them would be killed by Sikong Tu in no time. He wouldn't even be able to take three moves from Sikong Tu. With no other choice, Master Xuanming decided to find Lingyun and rescue him first.
Master Xuanming saw an opening and flew out of the battle. He endured his injuries and escaped. He could vaguely hear the woman's sorrowful cry. "Sikong Tu, it's not as easy to kill me, Green Bird. Since you want to kill my young mistress's child, I'll take you down with me!"
Then, Master Xuanming heard an earth-shattering explosion followed by Sikong Tu's scream. Master Xuanming looked up to the sky and sighed. He knew that Green Bird was dead for sure.
The sound of fighting could no longer be heard. Only the sound of the rain was left. Master Xuanming didn't dare to look back. With such a heavy rain, Ling Yun would be soaked to death. Moreover, he was already seriously injured. The demonic aura had entered his body. He knew that he didn't have much time left. Hence, he had to find Ling Yun as soon as possible.
Master Xuanming endured the pain and ran. Soon, he arrived at the location that Green Bird mentioned. However, what made him dumbfounded was that there was a woman there. She had a beautiful figure and face. Her face was pale, and she was soaked. She was holding a baby in her arms.
The baby was in her arms. He didn't cry or make a fuss. He seemed very obedient and quiet. Beside Qin Qiuyue was a long wooden box.
Seeing this, Master Xuanming asked Qin Qiuyue and found out that this woman was Qin Qiuyue. Hence, he begged Qin Qiuyue to take care of Ling Yun. Qin Qiuyue had just given birth to Ning Lingyu. She hadn't finished her confinement period yet. Due to her mother's nature and the fact that Ling Yun was too pitiful, she agreed without hesitation.
Master Xuanming knew that it was dangerous. He was afraid that more people from the Devil Sect would come after them. He didn't want Qin Qiuyue to get involved with the people from the Devil Sect. Hence, he advised Qin Qiuyue to leave the mountain as soon as possible.
Qin Qiuyue didn't even need his advice. She was worried about Ning Lingyu who was seriously ill at home. Hence, she quickly carried Lingyun and the wooden box that he always carried with him down the mountain.
Master Xuanming knew that Qin Qiuyue was only half a step into the Xiantian Realm. Although he was already seriously injured, he was still worried that Qin Qiuyue would encounter trouble. Hence, he escorted Qin Qiuyue all the way to Qingshui City before leaving.
After returning, Master Xuanming went to the place where the three of them fought. All he saw was a heavy downpour. Even the bloodstains on the rocks had been washed away. There was no trace of Si Kongtu and Qing Niao.
At this moment, Grandmaster Xuan Ming was already on the verge of collapsing. His physical strength had long been depleted, so he could only return to his room. That night, he wrote a letter and ordered someone to pass it to his junior brother, Xuan Zhi, telling him to rush over.
When Master Xuanzhi arrived, Xuan Ming couldn't hold on any longer. With his last breath, he told Master Xuanzhi everything that had happened and passed away.
"Come to think of it, that Lady Qing Niao should be someone close to your biological mother. As for that person called Si Kongtu, he should be an expert from the Devil Sect. I went to the bottom of the cliff to look for their corpses, but I didn't find anything. I don't even know if they're dead or alive.
"Senior said that your Yang Heel Meridian was destroyed, and it would be difficult for you to live past the age of twenty. However, I didn't expect that you would have such a miraculous encounter. Not only did your body recover, but you also learned a lot of skills. Even I can't see through your cultivation!"
Master Xuanzhi finished in one breath. Ling Yun clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his teeth were clenched tightly.
After a while, Ling Yun placed a palm in front of his chest and bowed slightly to Master Xuanzhi. "Thank you, Master, for telling me."
At this point, Ling Yun had a clear understanding of everything that happened that night when Qin Qiuyue picked him up.
The Ling Family was so pitiful. His biological mother, the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect, must have had a hard time too. Qing Niao risked her life to protect him, and his mother didn't even know if he was alive or dead. One could imagine how she must have felt for the past eighteen years!
"Si Kongtu, you better not let me know that you're still alive. Otherwise, I'll turn your bones into ashes with my own hands!"
Murderous intent surged in Ling Yun's eyes.
Then, he let out a long breath and stared at Master Xuanzhi. "I wonder which room Master Xuanming stayed in? I want to go and take a look …"
