Chapter 219 - Resolving Confusion in the Back Mountain
Chapter 219: Resolving Confusion in the Back Mountain
“Alright, Master, then I’ll go back first.”
At this moment, Lin Qingzhu also heaved a sigh of relief. The pressure these few days was too great. She looked much more haggard.
Ye Qiu nodded and said, “Okay, go…”
After saying that, Ye Qiu also walked into the Jade Pure Hall. He was still the master of Violet Cloud Peak. How could he be absent from such a meeting?
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely oppressive. Ye Qiu was a little puzzled. He had already seen the situation outside just now. It didn’t seem to be that serious, right? Why were all of them so melancholic?
Meng Tianzheng slowly said, “Junior Brother Ye, you just came out of seclusion. There are some things you might not understand yet. You might have many doubts in your heart.” As he spoke, Meng Tianzheng looked at Qi Wuhui and said, “Junior Brother Qi, explain to Junior Brother Ye.”
Seeing that Meng Tianzheng had called out his name, Qi Wuhui also stood up and said, “Junior Brother Ye, do you know about the great battle of my Heaven Mending Sect a hundred years ago?”
“A hundred years ago?”
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment before his eyes instantly became serious. Yes, he had heard of it. He had heard about this from Daoist Xuantian. He did not know much about what had happened. This was because Daoist Xuantian had left behind a hidden wound in that huge battle. Thus, he did not break through to the King-Ranked realm and it finally became his regret. Therefore, he told Ye Qiu about this matter. Now that he heard Qi Wuhui mention it, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but become serious.
“What do you mean! Senior Brother, please say…” Ye Qiu said coldly.
Qi Wuhui looked at his serious expression and sighed. “Sigh… Back then, the female demon who almost killed our Heaven Mending Sect came back.”
“What?” As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qiu instantly stood up.
That female demon back then wasn’t dead? How was this possible? If he remembered correctly, they had risked the lives of hundreds of thousands of disciples and many elders of the Heaven Mending Sect in that battle. It took the lives of six of the seven peak masters, as well as Perfected Xuanyi’s final price of destroying his Regenerative Bone, to nail her to death under the Infinite Abyss. It was also because of this battle that Daoist Xuantian left behind hidden wounds and had no chance of becoming a King-Ranked expert in his life.
Now, Qi Wuhui actually told him that the female demon who should have died under the Infinite Abyss back then had actually returned?
“Senior Brother, you’re not joking, right? That female demon was grafted with Martial Uncle’s Regenerative Bone and it was destroyed by Martial Uncle. In the end, she was nailed to the Infinite Abyss by Martial Uncle with a blood sacrifice. How could she survive under the Infinite Abyss?”
Logically speaking, such a blow should have destroyed her soul. How could she still be alive?
Qi Wuhui said with a solemn expression, “I’m not joking. She’s really still alive. Moreover, not only is she alive and well, but she has also successfully broken through to the Martial Monarch realm and become the only Martial Monarch in the world.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present instantly sucked in a breath of cold air.
“Martial Monarch realm?”
Everyone was speechless. At first, they thought that Tianmeng only had the strength of a peak-level King-Ranked. They never thought that she would have the strength of a Martial Monarch. Because it had only been a hundred years since that battle, and her realm at that time was only half a step into the King-Ranked realm.
She relied on the power of the Heaven Swallowing Demon Technique to suppress everyone from the Heaven Mending Sect. Even Daoist Xuantian could not do anything to her. However, in these hundred years, no matter how powerful the Heaven Swallowing Demon Technique was, it was impossible for her to break through to the Martial Monarch realm.
Moreover, she was seriously injured at that time. Even if she was lucky enough to not die, she should have needed a long time to recuperate, right?
“It’s the Regenerative Bone!” When everyone was puzzled, Ye Qiu seemed to understand something and his eyes lit up.
“Regenerative Bone?” As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Meng Tianzheng immediately asked, “That’s not right, didn’t the Regenerative Bone explode?”
“That’s right. Back then, Martial Uncle Xuanyi had clearly destroyed the Regenerative Bone. Junior Brother Ye, are you mistaken?”
Everyone was puzzled and asked him.
Ye Qiu lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he said, “No, the Regenerative Bone is an immortal bone. It has the miraculous effect of nirvana. How can it be easily destroyed? Back then, the reason why Martial Uncle Xuanyi could destroy the Regenerative Bone was because her blood had yet to fuse with the bones.
“The Regenerative Bone is still connected to Martial Uncle’s blood, so he could destroy the Regenerative Bone. However, the piece that Martial Uncle destroyed was his own Regenerative Bone, and there might be another piece of Regenerative Bone bone in Tianmeng’s body.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instantly stood up.
“What? There’s another piece…”
“How is this possible…”
Everyone was shocked. No one could believe that there was a Regenerative Bone in Tianmeng’s body. If she already had it, why did she need Xuanyi’s Regenerative Bone? These two could not be stacked!
Seeing that they were so puzzled, Ye Qiu didn’t respond. After thinking for a while, he said, “I’m just guessing. Perhaps only Martial Uncle can answer the question.” After saying that, Ye Qiu looked at Meng Tianzheng and said, “Senior Brother Sect Master, this matter is very important and suspicious. I’ll personally go to the back mountain and understand the situation from Martial Uncle. There might be a turning point.”
Ye Qiu had no choice but to personally look for Xuanyi because of the threat of Tianmeng. Perhaps only he knew how to deal with Tianmeng. After all, they had known each other for so many years and knew each other very well. No one might know her weakness better than Xuanyi.
At this moment, it concerned the life and death of the Heaven Mending Sect. No matter how much Xuanyi did not want to face it, he had no choice.
Hearing Ye Qiu’s request, Meng Tianzheng shook his head and sighed. “Sigh… I’ve already gone to look for Martial Uncle. He refused to see me.”
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment. After a while, he revealed a faint smile. “Haha, don’t worry, Senior Brother. He will see me.”
He roughly guessed Xuanyi’s thoughts. Then, he bid farewell to everyone and flew towards the back mountain.
Everyone was very confused as to why Ye Qiu was so confident that Xuanyi would meet him.
“I can’t figure it out. Forget it, I’ll stop thinking about it. It’ll only hurt my head.” Yang Wudi said gloomily, then suggested, “I’m free anyway. Senior Brother Qi, are you interested in going down the mountain to kill? Let’s see who kills more ferocious beasts?”
“I’m not afraid of you. Let’s go.”
As soon as Yang Wudi spoke, Qi Wuhui was immediately unhappy. He had only been afraid of two people in his life. One was Meng Tianzheng, and the other was Ye Qiu. Other than these two people, he wasn’t afraid of anyone. He, Old Qi, is a Paragon now. How could he be bullied by him?
The two of them immediately went down the mountain and prepared to start a massacre.
On the other side, the two disciples guarding the Jade Pure Cave Abode suddenly saw a white figure descend from the sky and land in front of them. They were instantly shocked. They hurriedly stood up and berated, “Who are you? How dare you barge into the forbidden area of the back mountain.”
The light dissipated and Ye Qiu slowly walked over. The two disciples were shocked and hurriedly lowered their heads.
“Greetings, Martial Uncle Ye.”
“Martial Uncle, are you here to look for Grandmaster?” A disciple boldly asked. They were guarding the door here and knew very well.
Today, several people had come to look for Grandmaster, but Xuanyi did not see anyone. They guessed that Ye Qiu was probably here to look for Grandmaster.
Ye Qiu nodded lightly and said, “Yes, go in and inform him that Violet Cloud Peak’s Ye Qiu wants to see Martial Uncle.”
“Uh…” The two disciples lowered their heads and remained unmoved. They hesitated for a moment before saying, “Martial Uncle, Grandmaster has ordered that he won’t see anyone today. Why don’t…”
They did not dare to go in and report, afraid that Xuanyi would blame them. They were in a difficult position.
At this moment, a voice came from inside. “Let him in.”
It was Xuanyi’s voice. The two of them hurriedly opened the cave abode door and let Ye Qiu in.
Ye Qiu was also amused. It seemed like Xuanyi had guessed that he was coming and had been waiting for him. Although this Little Martial Uncle of the Heaven Mending Sect had not been in charge for many years, he was still thinking about the sect.
The reason why he didn’t come out was because he felt guilty. He felt that he owed those hundreds of thousands of lives and locked himself up. He spent his days comprehending the Dao of Reincarnation in order to ferry the vengeful souls who had died for him.
Ye Qiu slowly walked into the Jade Pure Cave Abode. This cave abode was very big, even bigger than the Violet Cloud Cave Abode.
Ye Qiu greeted an elder every few steps. He continued walking in. Soon, the scene in front of him opened up. He saw a white-haired old man sitting on the jade pool that was floating in midair.
That was Xuanyi. At this moment, his face was a little haggard and his gaze was absent-minded. Perhaps today’s incident reminded him of his encounter a hundred years ago.
“Disciple Ye Qiu greets Martial Uncle.” Ye Qiu slowly walked over and bowed respectfully.
Xuanyi turned around on the jade pool. He was secretly shocked and delighted when he felt Ye Qiu’s shocking King-Ranked aura. If he had to say who he owed the most, it would definitely be Daoist Xuantian.
Ever since he entered the Dao, Daoist Xuantian had escorted him and protected him. After he was seriously injured, Daoist Xuantian did not hesitate to destroy his future and save his life. In order to save him, he even gave up his great undertaking of becoming a King. Xuanyi would never forget such kindness in his life. Now that he saw that his disciple had made up for his regret, he was naturally very happy.
“Haha, good… very good. As expected of Senior Brother’s disciple, a King-Ranked powerhouse. Senior Brother’s dream for many years has finally been realized by you…” Xuanyi praised, and the regret in his heart was finally resolved.
Ye Qiu didn’t say anything and just listened quietly. He knew that Xuanyi wouldn’t hide anything when the Heaven Mending Sect was on the verge of death.
Xuanyi recalled his senior brother who had dominated an era a hundred years ago as he looked at the young man in white below. He sighed and said, “Sigh… It’s all bad karma. You came here to ask me about the secret of the Regenerative Bone, right?”
Ye Qiu nodded and didn’t reply. He wanted to understand the ins and outs of this matter, as well as what happened to them back then.
It was definitely not him gossiping. It was mainly to save the Heaven Mending Sect, right?
