A cold wind blew, causing Mu Baizhi to shiver. Her expression was extremely complicated as her eyes kept wandering back and forth between Bai Zhen and Bai Biao seven or eight meters away.
Tonight.
The Qingcheng Monastery suffered a heavy blow. No one knew the whole story better than her. She was even more aware that the source of all this was actually her. The scenes of that year flashed before her eyes like a movie, making her feel distressed and difficult to breathe.
The array that shrouded the courtyard had just been broken by Tan Xiu, Bai Zhen, and Bai Biao. She was also aware of one thing — this day next year would be the anniversary of her death. Now, she only hoped that the mysterious young man could protect the rest of the Qingcheng Monastery.
Mu Baizhi walked a few steps forward and her eyes shifted to Tan Xiu. Under everyone's watchful eyes, she knelt on the ground and silently kowtowed to Tan Xiu three times. Then, she said, "Senior, they're right. Today's bad karma is all because of what happened that year. I'm willing to bear all the responsibility and use my life to make up for my father's mistake and resolve the enmity between them. "
Qingcheng Monastery's Abbot Lin Tong's body shook and disbelief filled his eyes. The other Qingcheng Monastery's experts around him were dumbfounded and looked at Mu Baizhi incredulously.
It turned out …
It turned out to be true? The one who framed the six brothers back then … was actually their Qingcheng Monastery's people?
Lin Tong strode to the front of Mu Baizhi and sternly shouted, "So to say, it was really your father who framed the six brothers back then? Was it really our Qingcheng Monastery's mistake that year? "
"Yes," said Mu Baizhi with a bitter smile.
Lin Tong panted heavily and angrily said, "Then why didn't you tell us the truth back then? Why did you just watch our Qingcheng Monastery's people chase and kill those six innocent people? "
"My father locked me up in advance when he made the mistake." Mu Baizhi shook her head. "It was only until he released me that I learned about them … Hall Master, I've been unmarried for so many years. Even when my father threatened me that he would die with everlasting regret if I didn't marry him, I didn't compromise. Don't tell me you still don't understand? The one I love is dead, and so is my heart. The only reason I'm still alive now is to apologize in front of the Three Pure Daoist Ancestors, to atone for my father's crime. "
At the top of the pavilion.
Tan Xiu had figured out the whole story. After shaking his head, he looked at Wang Xuezhong, the Deputy Abbey Dean of Qingcheng Monastery, and said indifferently, "Give me the Red Silk Flower first."
Wang Xuezhong quickly said, "Senior, the Red Silk Flower is not with me now. It's in my residence. Can you wait for a moment? I'll bring it to you with both hands as soon as I get it. "
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "Awu, you three go with him."
"Yes!"
Mo Awu and the other two nodded and followed behind Wang Xuezhong, who was riddled with wounds, as they quickly headed outside.
Tan Xiu looked at Bai Real and Bai Biao and asked indifferently, "How do you want to resolve this matter?"
Bai Zhen and Bai Biao glanced at each other. Then, Bai Zhen shouted, "Mu Baizhi must die. She should have been buried with my brother long ago. However, the one who issued the order to hunt us down and kill us was Lin Tong, the head of the Qingcheng Sect. He must die too. We brothers may not be good people, but we also know that every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. As long as the two of them commit suicide in front of us, the enmity between us and the Qingcheng Sect can be written off. "
"What if I don't agree?" asked Tan Xiu calmly.
With a resolute expression, Bai Real resolutely said, "If Senior doesn't agree, then we brothers can only fight to the death. Even if we die here today, we won't let down our four dead brothers."
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and slowly said, "I received money from others to eliminate the calamity. Since I can get the Red Silk Flower, then I must protect the people of the Qingcheng Sect. Now, I only need to ask you one thing, and you must answer it. "
"Please ask, Senior."
Bai Real seriously said.
"Was it you who sent someone to put the Drunken Dragon Powder in the lunch at the opening ceremony of the Golden Goblet Emperor Gauze Villa Complex?" asked Tan Xiu.
Bai Real's expression changed. He hesitated for a moment before replying in a deep voice, "That's right. We sent someone to do it."
"Why?" asked Tan Xiu. "Do you know how many people will be poisoned to death if so many people eat the food?"
"According to our investigation, the boss who developed the Golden Goblet Emperor Gauze Villa Complex, Wang Xuegang, is the younger brother of the Qingcheng Sect's Deputy Master, Wang Xuezhong. Since we want to take revenge, we naturally have to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. As for those who have been implicated by Wang Xuegang, we can't care about them anymore. "
"Good, good, good!" Tan Xiu angrily retorted. "You can't care about them anymore. The reason why you and your brothers were hunted down was because you were weak. But now, you sent someone to poison nearly a hundred people, and it's also because they are just ordinary people. In your eyes, whoever is powerful can control the life and death of others, right? Hmph … if that's the case, then I can't let you live today. "
Bai Real's expression changed. Never did he expect that Tan Xiu would get angry because of some ordinary people. After a moment of silence, he questioned, "Senior, we are all cultivators, and ordinary people are like ants in our eyes. You're not a citizen of the state, are you? Why do you care about the life and death of those ants? "
"We're all cultivators, yes," sneered Tan Xiu. "But you're also like ants in my eyes." "Also, you're wrong about one thing. I'm a citizen of the state, and I have the right to act first and report later."
As his voice faded away …
Tan Xiu instantly raised his arms. Lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere in the clouds in the sky as electric snakes slashed down toward Bai Real and Bai Biao.
"Outsiders can't bully this old man's disciple."
An old voice came rolling from a distance as a large black net floated over from afar and directly enveloped the courtyard. Lightning bolts struck the black net and sparks splashed everywhere before disappearing.
It followed closely behind.
A doddering old man in a dark green robe with his hair combed into a bun appeared in front of Tang Xiu while stepping on a flying sword. Billowing green smoke spread out from his body and instantly enveloped everyone in the scene.
"Myriad Jiao Dragon Poison."
A drop of transparent liquid silently stained Tan Xiu's skin the moment he held his breath to disperse the green smoke. The transparent liquid had a very strong penetrating power as it melted into Tan Xiu's clothes and skin. In just half a breath, it had already spread out inside Tan Xiu's body.
"This is …"
Tan Xiu's complexion changed. A cold and bone-chilling gelatinous substance continuously spread out inside his body. It was a piercing pain and had a corrosive effect, making Tan Xiu feel as though his body was frozen and his muscles were about to be corroded.
The senile old man laughed wildly and said, "This Myriad Jiao Dragon Poison is a Neidan of a Jiao Dragon that has been stored for thousands of years in the North Pole Spirit Spring's Frigid Spring. It took me two years to refine it. Cultivators below the Golden Core Stage will die if they get hit by it. Even if you break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, your strength will be greatly reduced, so you're dead for sure. "
A dark scepter appeared in the old man's hand out of thin air. With the rising flames in the sky, the surrounding green smoke was instantly ignited, turning the entire space into a sea of fire.
Tan Xiu's pupils contracted. Layers of flames wrapped around him, and the dark scepter instantly attacked him. Judging from the aura exuded by the old man, he was a Golden Core Stage powerhouse, at least at the middle stage of the Golden Core Stage.
So far.
He was the most terrifying powerhouse Tan Xiu had ever encountered.
"Get lost!"
The long sword was unleashed again, and layers of sword shadows instantly shrouded his body. When sparks splashed, the black scepter that the old man was about to hit Tan Xiu's head was instantly smashed, and the swift and fierce Sword Qi left a few bloody wounds on the old man's chest.
"What?"
The old man's complexion greatly changed. After moving a few positions, he quickly retreated backward.
Tan Xiu's body shook a few times, and his internal organs were almost frozen by the cold aura. What shocked him the most was that more than half of the gelatinous substance that entered his body quickly drilled into his Niwan Palace. After he successfully forced the old man back, a roar suddenly exploded in his head.
The brain was the Niwan, and the Niwan was the earth. There were two meridians that went down to the kidney essence. The essence was in the kidney, so it was called the essence, and flowed into the Niwan to form the brain. Then the transparent cold substance exploded, and in an instant, a monstrous heat wave was produced. The instantaneous alternation of cold and heat made Tan Xiu almost faint from the pain.
"Boom …"
At this moment, in the moment when Tan Xiu temporarily lost his perception of the outside world, a heavy hammer whizzed over and fiercely bombarded Tan Xiu's chest. In the midst of the blood spurting, Tan Xiu's body was bombarded like a cannonball. He flew backward for dozens of meters before heavily smashing into the antique building behind him.
"Run!"
The moment they saw that Tan Xiu was blasted away, more than a dozen high-level members of the Qingcheng Sect quickly fled in all directions. Originally, Tan Xiu wanted to help them, but at this moment, a more powerful enemy came, and it was the master of Bai Zhen and Bai Biao. Although they wanted to help Tan Xiu, they also had the self-awareness that helping Tan Xiu would not only be of no use, but they would also lose their lives in vain.
"Want to escape? Dream on! "
Although Bai Zhen and Bai Biao were seriously injured and their combat effectiveness was almost at the freezing point, they forcibly used a forbidden technique at this moment. In just a dozen breaths, most of their injuries were healed, and they could also use 50 to 60 percent of their strength. And this strength was enough to kill all the remnants of the Qingcheng Sect.
"Puff …"
A long sword shot from the left, and at the moment when Bai Biao was about to punch a Qingcheng Sect expert to death, the sword directly pierced his neck and instantly beheaded him.
"Bastard!"
Bai Zhen's eyes were wide open. He gave up chasing the enemy and madly rushed to Bai Biao, holding him in his arms with both hands. At this moment, two ghostly figures appeared in front of him in an instant.
"Joint attack …"
Sword shadows swept out like a blooming lotus. Bai Zhen hurriedly tried to block, but his arms were shattered by the sword shadows. In the next moment, a silhouette appeared behind him and punched him hard in the back.
"Puff …"
Bai Zhen spurted blood wildly, and his heart was broken.
