Miao Yi had no intention of boarding the ship. Instead, he transmitted his voice coldly, "Did you deliberately release the demonic monk, Nan Bo?"
There were some things that he could endure, but there were also some things that made him very uncomfortable. In fact, it couldn't even be simply described as uncomfortable. Putting everything else aside, Ba Jie had almost died in the hands of the demonic monk. In order to save Ba Jie, Grandmaster Qi Jie had sacrificed himself. If he didn't enter hell, who would?!
Looking at it from another perspective, letting the demonic monk know that he had the Blood Lotus was akin to killing him!
Lord White smiled. He understood what Miao Yi was trying to say. 'Even I find it hard to believe you, let alone the other two.' He transmitted his voice back, "Yes, and no."
"What do you mean?" Miao Yi asked with a stern expression. This matter was stuck in his throat, and he had to get it out.
Lord White said, "There are some things I don't want to explain. So what if you know? So what if you don't know? It's all in the past! Since you're so upset about it, I can only tell you this. For generations, the eminent monks of Nanwu Clan have been working together to create a Boundless Buddhist Dharma, but no one has been able to cultivate it successfully. After investigating the reason, Nanwu Clan worked together to create a set of primers for cultivating the Boundless Buddhist Dharma, called the Great Insight Enlightenment Technique. When Nameless School was destroyed, Sect Master Tian Yi passed on the primer to a disciple at a critical moment. All the experts of Nameless School worked together to stop Nan Bo and protect that disciple. They wanted to preserve the lineage of Nameless School, so they urgently contacted my master, White Brow, to help them. This disciple's Dharma name is Wu Jie. After my master received Wu Jie, because Nan Bo was searching for him everywhere, he had no choice but to send Wu Jie to the small world. Wu Jie was afraid of Nan Bo, afraid that he would be found by Nan Bo one day, so he hid himself using the method of the Jie School, never mentioning the Namo School. This Great Insight Art is a little strange. Even Five Abstinences, who are quite proficient in the Nameless School's cultivation technique, found it hard to successfully cultivate it. Thus, he went looking for a successor, and that's how the Sixth Abstinence, Seventh Abstinence, and Eighth Abstinence came into being. "
Miao Yi asked, "If that's the case, there are still Six Jie and Seven Jie. Why did you send Eight Jie to face the demonic monk?"
Lord White said, "Six Jie and Seven Jie are rather stubborn. Do you think someone like Seven Jie would be able to kill Nan Bo? It was only when Ba Jie appeared, unaffected by the Gate of Jie that I saw the hope of completing the task entrusted to me by the Nanwu School. "
Miao Yi asked, "Why wait for Ba Jie? You should have the ability to destroy the demonic monk's divine soul."
Lord White shook his head slightly. "I don't have a good impression of the Nameless Sect. If it were possible, I wouldn't even need Nan Bo to do it. I would destroy the Nameless Sect myself. Therefore, the grudge between the Demon Monk Nan Bo and the Namo Clan, I am actually not willing to interfere. I hope that the Namo Clan can settle it themselves. "
Miao Yi was a little confused. "How am I supposed to believe such an explanation?"
Master White answered calmly, "The Nanwu Clan's Sect Leader, Tian Yi, had sex with a female disciple who practiced the Heavenly Demon Dance. Because of her selfishness, the female disciple secretly became pregnant with Tian Yi's flesh and blood and gave birth to an illegitimate child. Tian Yi was enraged when he found out about it. He felt that once the matter was exposed, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the Nanwu Clan, so he executed the female disciple. If White Brow hadn't arrived in time and accepted the illegitimate son as his disciple, the illegitimate son would have lost his life. "
Miao Yi was shocked. He stared at him and asked, "You are that illegitimate child?"
Lord White neither admitted nor denied it.
With this, Miao Yi finally understood why Lord White would lure Ba Jie to the place where the demon monk's divine soul was sealed. Knowing Ba Jie's personality, it would be strange if he didn't start a feud with the demon monk after going there. Furthermore, if he found the Nameless Sect's Boundless Buddhist Art, he would definitely let Ba Jie cultivate it. Lord White was forcing Ba Jie to represent the Nameless Sect and settle the matter with the demon monk.
However, Miao Yi didn't completely believe him. He asked, "You seem to know everything about me. Don't you know that the Blood Demon will expose the Blood Lotus if he goes there?"
Lord White replied, "At the time, Ba Jie and the Blood Demon were inseparable. I didn't care about it at all. Nan Bo couldn't escape. So what if he knew about the Blood Lotus? He's just a sealed divine soul. I have plenty of ways to destroy him. Even if I had to lure the Blue Buddha over, I would still be able to destroy him. "
Miao Yi said, "But after the Blue Buddha went there, he couldn't stop the demon monk from escaping. Instead, he put me in danger."
Initially, Lord White wanted to say, 'Didn't you already know the answer from Xiahou Ta?' However, he smiled and decided not to bring it up. Instead, he explained, "The Blue Buddha couldn't be restrained because I secretly taught Nan Bo how to escape. Otherwise, Nan Bo would have died for sure. Back then, the Blue Buddha had a falling out with me and took Ruo Shui as a hostage. I hurriedly made arrangements and left behind many backup plans. Nan Bo was one of them. If I really had no other choice, I would have no choice but to release Nan Bo and have him open the Demon Sealing Pagoda for me. "
Miao Yi coldly said, "In other words, you admit that you were the one who released the demon monk!"
Lord White replied, "The reason I released the demon monk was because someone had told you something they shouldn't have. This has already caused a rift between us. Your influence is already beyond my control, so I had no choice but to resort to this method. If you didn't destroy the Demon Sealing Pagoda, then I would have no choice but to let the demon monk do it. The Sorcerer transmitted a message to you, telling you to snatch the Demon Sealing Pagoda first. That was the final choice between us. Fortunately, you still made the choice I hoped to see. Otherwise, we would have fallen out! "
Miao Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't tell me that Ba Jie coming out to stop the demon monk was within your expectations as well."
Lord White shook his head and said, "Everything I did to the Nanwu Gate was only to fulfill Master's orders. Ba Jie was unreliable, and I never placed any hope on him. His achievements far exceeded my expectations. You don't have to worry about it. Since I dared to do this, I must have something to rely on. Even if Ba Jie didn't appear, and even if I couldn't get rid of Nan Bo, I can guarantee that Nan Bo wouldn't touch you. The reason is simple. I have something that Nan Bo wants. I naturally have a way to take Nan Bo away from this place and prevent him from ever coming back! Of course, there are many things that I can't control. Qi Jie's death was purely an accident. I can only express my regret for that. "
Miao Yi expressionlessly said, "That's just your side of the story. From the very beginning, you've been trying to control me and make me work for you!"
Lord White said, "If you insist on thinking that way, then there's nothing I can do about it. It's not a bad idea to make you work for me, but it would be too harsh of me to say that I controlled you. You know better than anyone that I never forced you to embark on this path. Back then, I asked you again and again, and you were the one who insisted on taking this path. If you refused, I wouldn't have forced you either. Everything was done of your own free will. You should be able to sense what happened after that. I never tried to control you. I only lent you a hand in secret when the time was right. For example, regarding the Yao cultivators trapped in the treasure vault, I clearly left some people to help you. However, you didn't use them, and I didn't interfere either. I basically let you do whatever you want. Now that things have come to this, you've already helped me. There's no need for me to say anything more about how much I've helped you, or how many times I've helped you survive. You have your own judgment of whether I'm right or wrong. There's no need for you to listen to my side of the story. "
Miao Yi said, "Your clone had the chance to reveal himself and explain everything to me. Do you still need to explain yourself after everything was said and done?"
Lord White said, "Your strength has already far surpassed my clone's. Exposing my clone in front of you would have cut off my escape route. Not to mention, I still left my clone a chance to meet you. When you obtained the Bewildering Mirage Heavenly Eyes, you must have comprehended some spatial arts. However, your cultivation talent is indeed mediocre. Even now, you haven't made any progress. "
Miao Yi asked suspiciously, "What does comprehending spatial arts have to do with meeting your clone?"
Lord White chuckled. "Since you're already dissatisfied, there's no need to mention some things anymore. I stayed behind to wait for you because I wanted to give you an explanation. As for whether you believe what I said earlier or not, it doesn't matter. Now that you've come this far, how much you've lost and how much you've gained is all your own business. I won't take responsibility for it. From now on, there's no harm in drawing a clear line between us. Remember that I gave you a greeting gift when we first met? That was originally a gift from Ruo Shui. I don't think there's a need for you to stay behind to reminisce about me. You should just return it to me. "
"What if I don't let you go?" Miao Yi's voice carried a hint of menace.
Lord White smiled faintly and said, "Green … Buddha, so many people couldn't stop me all those years ago. Whether you can stop me or not, I'm sure you know very well. There's still quite a gap between your cultivation and mine. I advise you not to cause trouble for yourself! I'll say it again. The universe is vast and boundless. I have my own place to go, and I have no interest in this world! "
Miao Yi met Lord White's gaze for a while, then slowly raised his hand to the base of his neck and grabbed the dark green bead. He pulled it off, then casually tossed it back to Lord White.
Lord White caught the bead and stared at it for a while. He then rubbed the bead between his fingers and shook his head ruefully.
Once he had the bead in his hand, he took out another jade archive and tossed it over to Miao Yi.
Miao Yi caught the jade archive and briefly examined it. In the end, he discovered that it was a record of Lord White's master. He didn't read it in detail, so he couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "What do you mean?"
A hint of melancholy surfaced in Lord White's eyes. "The Fire Asura is actually my Senior Brother. He's also my Master's son. He's older than I am, and he made his name much earlier than I did. Because of his cultivation talent, Master didn't pass down the entire Fiery Star Technique to him. Instead, he passed it down to me. My Senior Brother could only pass down the Fiery Star Technique to me. Because of this, he held a grudge against me. The things I gave you have a record of the enmity between us. After I left the mountain, I killed him in order to cleanse my sect. Now that I look at it, I'm actually no different from my Senior Brother. For the sake of my own selfishness, I didn't hesitate to cooperate with the enemy who killed my Master. I don't have the face to face Master anymore. From today onwards, I will expel myself from Master's tutelage. I'll hand over this lineage to you. Don't worry. I won't pass down the Fiery Star Technique to anyone else! " He then raised his head to look at the starry sky and lamented, "I'll say it again. May we never meet again!"
Miao Yi was silent for a moment, then asked, "I've long heard of the Yao Lord's great name. Why don't you come out and meet me?"
"I think it's better to let her have some peace." Lord White shook his head. He swept his fingers across the zither strings, then turned to the Sorcerer and nodded.
