Chapter 34 Yunxia Sect
Walking out of the passageway, Shen Yao touched the smooth walls and, thinking of how the little stone man dug through the rock to escape, couldn't help but say, "Could this be a passage dug entirely from spirit source stones?"
Salty Fish said, "It shouldn't be, it's so small, and this passage is so big."
The passageway was indeed carved entirely from spirit source stones.
When Quanlingyuan Stone first arrived here, it was bullied by a mid-grade exotic beast from Zhoushan. Quanlingyuan Stone was very angry, and because of its anger, it swelled up to a very large size.
The angry Spirit Stone, while digging this tunnel, hammered and pounded against the rock wall because of its anger, making the tunnel very wide and the wall surface very smooth.
After the tunnel was dug, the Quanlingyuan Stone followed the rock wall and found a stone pit to settle in. Over time, it controlled the stone to absorb spiritual energy, and thus the Shiquan Stone Pit was formed.
When the Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast came here, Quan Lingyuan Stone hid in the stone wall and secretly observed it. He found that it was a Water Spirit Beast. Thinking that they were of the same origin, he assumed that it was just staying there and pretended not to see it.
A few days later, another Golden Spirit Source Beast arrived, accompanied by two female cultivators. The two female cultivators were very greedy and immediately began to break off its Perfect Stone. One of them even shouted and laughed loudly, making a very noisy and annoying noise.
Thinking that the Golden Spirit Source Beast was of the same origin, he figured the female cultivators who brought it along could be greedy, since they wouldn't take much anyway.
Unexpectedly, that noisy female cultivator actually wanted to move its entire nest away!
I want to move its nest as soon as I see it, but if I see it, what would happen? Wouldn't I have to move it too?
Quan Lingyuan Stone made a quick decision and ran away immediately, but little did he know that the noisy female cultivator had spotted it with just a casual glance!
After a chase, he still couldn't escape the female cultivator's clutches and was even forced into a contract. Now it's all over; there's no escaping anymore...
That Golden Spirit Source Beast is truly despicable! They're from the same source, yet it helped the female cultivator capture it…
The All-Spirit Source Stone was furious, and in its anger, it swelled into a huge mass within its space. When the Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast entered, it saw the All-Spirit Source Stone, which was even larger than itself, frantically pounding on the Ten Perfection Stone Wall...
The Cloud Cliff Blackhoof Beast was terrified. It lay down on the spot, buried its head in its chest, and trembled... The All-Spirit Source Stone was terrifying, Cloud Cliff was scared... Cloud Cliff was really scared...
When Shen Yao and Xianyu walked out of the passageway, it was already late at night, and the sky was completely dark.
Thinking that the cave was secluded, they decided to stay there for the night.
Finding a flat spot, Shen Yao touched her storage ring and then remembered that the bedding had been burned. She had no choice but to give up and sit back-to-back with Xianyu to rest and make do with sleeping.
……
Zhou County, Yunxia Sect.
Qu Shao, carrying Xue Wangu's corpse, knelt at the entrance of Yunxia Sect, crying out, "Disciple Qu Shao is bringing the young sect master's body back to the sect. Please, Envoy Humen, go and inform them immediately!"
"Tiger Gate Envoy" is a general term for the gatekeeper disciples.
When Humen opened the door, he saw his senior brother Qu Shao kneeling at the entrance, carrying a stiff corpse on his back.
The envoy from Humen was greatly alarmed and immediately summoned the disciples guarding the courtyard to inform them.
Xue Xiazi came out quickly and saw Qu Shao kneeling at the door, carrying a corpse dressed in white with gold thread on his back. The corpse was already stiff.
Xue Xiazi felt like the sky had fallen. Trembling, she pointed at Qu Shao and said in a trembling voice, "Put the body down so I can see it."
Qu Shao accepted the order, retrieved the spirit rope that had been tightly binding Xue Wangu's body, and laid the body flat on the ground.
Xue Xiazi led her disciples closer to take a look and saw that the corpse had a pale face, wide-open eyes, bulging eyeballs, and a two-finger-wide hole in the center of its forehead, clearly indicating that it had died from having its soul core pierced.
Xue Xiazi felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her mind went completely blank for a moment…
Xue Xiazi picked up her beloved son's body, disregarding her image as the head of a sect, and wailed in anguish: "My son... my son..."
As she cried, she suddenly remembered something. Seeing the disciples surrounding her, she wiped away her tears and cried out again, "Wangu! My son... You were my stepson, but you were closer than my own child... Who killed my stepson...?"
When the elders of the Yunxia Sect arrived after hearing the news, this was the scene they saw.
Qu Shao was still kneeling to one side when the Grand Elder asked him, "Who did this?"
Qu Shao kowtowed: "Reporting to the Grand Elder, when our six fellow disciples and I were returning to Zhou County from Xi Town with the Young Sect Master, we encountered two female cultivators. One of them used some unknown technique and shattered the Young Sect Master's soul core in one move..."
After hearing this, what else did the Grand Elder not understand?
The elders looked at each other in dismay. Xue Wangu was incorrigible and must still be lawless outside of Zhou County. He would dare to harass any powerful figure he encountered.
Now that he has reaped what he sowed, Xue Wangu is reaping what he sowed, and the elders do not want to waste the Yunxia Sect's resources for the sake of the sect leader's adopted son.
Not to mention that Xue Wangu usually acts absurdly and is really unfit to be the young sect leader of Yunxia Sect. I don't know how much bewitching potion Xue Xiazi took to insist on supporting such a stepson to the position.
The First Elder walked up to Xue Xiazi, who was holding Xue Wangu's body and wailing in grief, and comforted her, "Sect Master, let's collect the young sect master's body first."
Xue Wangu was truly heartbroken.
This was his only son, and for the sake of this son, he had maintained a facade of politeness with Ye Han and the Ye family for many years.
For the sake of this son, he was extremely careful in everything he did, fearing that his betrayal of Ye Han would be discovered.
For the sake of this son, he painstakingly managed to bring the Yunxia Sect under his control step by step.
For the sake of this son, he disguised himself as his nemesis Chuang Zong and personally killed his wife.
He then pretended to be utterly despondent and unwavering in his love, enduring humiliation for two years before daring to bring his beloved son back to the clan as his stepson...
But this son is such a disappointment!
He caused trouble all day long. Xue Wangu had to appease him countless times and poured countless resources into him, but in the end, this son still ruined himself.
Xue Wangu was both angry and resentful, both annoyed and furious.
The elder pleaded with her for a long time, but Xue Xiazi just kept holding the corpse and crying.
The elders were afraid that he would cry for seven days and seven nights like the former sect leader's wife did when she passed away.
He then forcefully pulled Xue Xiazi away and ordered his disciples to collect the young sect leader's body for burial.
They then forcefully sent Xue Xiazi back to the backyard for the time being.
It was now a quarter past midnight, and the backyard was brightly lit.
The elders escorted Xue Xiazi to the back hall. The sect leader's second wife rushed over in a panic. The elders told her the bad news, and the sect leader's second wife and Xue Xiazi embraced each other and wept bitterly.
The elders, not wanting to linger, could only offer a few words of comfort before departing one after another.
As soon as the elders left, Xue Xiazi slapped Li Xiaoyan across the face and kicked her in the chest, shouting angrily, "It's all your fault, you vixen, for raising my son like this, even costing him his life!"
Li Xiaoyan was heartbroken upon hearing the devastating news of her son's passing.
Suddenly, Xue Xiazi slapped him across the chest, kicking him in the chest. Shocked and terrified, he forgot to cry, crawling to his knees at Xue Xiazi's feet, clutching her legs, and pleading, "Xiazi, how could you do this to Hanhan…"
Xue Xiazi kicked her again: "After I avenge my son, I'll deal with you, you despicable slut!"
After saying that, Xue Xiazi left angrily, her expression twisted.
Reaching the door, feeling utterly unsettled by his anger, he turned and went inside, kicking his former beloved simpleton once more. Only then did he feel vented, and he hurried towards the front yard…
