Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 74 Why Do People Say Goodbye to Flowers?

Since Wuzhan was able to obtain the five-colored stone, Xiao Yuzhen believed that he had obtained the "Eternal Life Secret", not to mention that he said he would hand it over now. She knew that Wuzhan was a man of his words. If Qin Moyao was killed now, he would never hand it over even if he knew the "Eternal Life Secret".

Now that the truth was out, Ping Qingjue already hated Leng Muxue to no end. How could Xiao Yuzhen not be tempted to get the coveted "Eternal Life Secret"? She slowly withdrew her hand and giggled, "It seems that you can't bear to part with this little bitch who is entangled with you again!"

Wuzhan has seen through these people in front of him. In fact, his admiration for Ping Qingjue has long been greatly reduced. If he asks them to let Leng Muxue go, none of them will agree. The only possibility is to save Qin Moyao, who hates him.

Wuzhan said calmly: "You are wrong, we are not poisoned!"

Xiao Yuzhen knew that Xun Qingrou must have given them the spring poison, so she quickly tore off Qin Moyao's sleeves, wanting to make Leng Muxue feel heartbroken. When she saw the bright green toad blood on her jade arm, she was surprised and asked, "How is it possible? How did you get rid of the spring poison?"

Wuzhan said calmly, "The Holy Mother needs to ask Xun Qingrou. Of course we don't know." He couldn't say that this medicine was ineffective for them, because that would make Ping Qingjue more hurt. He couldn't say that it was because his blood could cure it. If he said that, his blood would be drained in the future. He added, "The Holy Mother can choose now, to release it or not?"

Xiao Yuzhen took out a small bottle from her sleeve, poured out a pill, pried open Qin Moyao's mouth with her hands, threw the pill into her mouth, and said coldly: "I will trust you again!"

Qinglian looked towards Wuzhan with his eyes full of gratitude, and said in an old voice: "You must be fellow Taoist Wuzhan, thank you!" He bowed with his bony body to express his gratitude.

Wuzhan had already stood up, bowed slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Senior, there is no need to do this!"

Qinglian sighed and said, "I already know the truth. I wanted to save you, but you saved me instead. I am ashamed!"

After Qin Moyao took the antidote, the severe pain in her body gradually eased. She supported herself to stand up, staggered towards Qinglian, tears in her eyes, and whispered, "Mom!"

Qinglian flew over to support her, injected his true energy into Qin Moyao's body, and whispered, "Get out of here quickly!"

Qin Moyao recovered quickly, grabbed Qinglian's hand and said, "Let's go together!"

Qinglian smiled kindly and said, "Silly child, they will not let me go. That little Taoist friend has done his best to save you. He treated you very well." Then he sighed, "It's a pity that he didn't live long. Everything is in vain!" He handed the lotus sword in his hand to Qin Moyao and whispered, "The skills you haven't practiced are all in that secret room. Emei is handed over to you. Take them down the mountain with the disciples of Mount Lu!"

Qin Moyao said: "I won't leave, let's fight them!"

Qinglian said: "I should have died under this cliff many years ago. I have lived for so many years and have my own daughter. I am very satisfied. Your father saved me, but he was not in his right mind. I blinded his eyes and he has not appeared for so many years. He should be dead!"

Qin Moyao said: "I don't care, if mom doesn't leave, I won't leave either!"

Qinglian said: "Can you resist the 'Drunken Sword God'? He won't let me go. Go quickly. Mother will be very happy if you can survive."

Ping Qingjue said, "My sincerity towards you has never changed over the years. Don't you really know? Is it really impossible for you to forgive me?"

Qinglian said: "Now that you see me, an old woman, do you still have sincerity? I have a daughter. Do you find it unacceptable? Do you think it's ridiculous for so many years? What do you like about me? Do you know?"

Ping Qingjue was stunned for a moment. Everything had happened so slowly and yet came so suddenly. The beauty had faded and he really didn't know what he wanted.

Xiao Yuzhen said angrily: "You are so shameless, what qualifications do you have to ask Qingjue!"

Qinglian ignored Xiao Yuzhen's words and chuckled to Ping Qingjue, "Now that I'm dead, you should no longer feel guilty!"

Ping Qingjue said coldly: "Is it Han Xiaoting who made you like this?"

Qinglian smiled and said, "You are not as good as him!" After that, she spit out a black bead, and her body suddenly changed. The wrinkles and spots on her face disappeared, becoming smooth and flawless. The white hair turned into black hair, and the hunched body became straight. Her eyes were as moving as Qin Moyao. Seeing her at this time, he knew why Ping Qingjue was so infatuated with her back then.

This black bead is the 'Cangyan Bead'. When held in the mouth, it can make one's face look older and the voice change. Qinglian relies on this black bead to change his appearance so that no one can recognize him. It can also prolong his life. But once it is spit out, he will be like this bead and turn into ashes.

Leng Muxue said to Qin Moyao softly: "Mom, I'm sorry, you can only rely on yourself from now on!" After that, red snowflakes began to float away from her body, and her figure gradually blurred.

Qin Moyao cried, "Mom, don't leave me!" She wanted to go forward and hug Leng Muxue, but her hug was empty, and the figure disappeared even faster, blown away by the wind.

Ping Qingjue let out a long roar and fell to his knees. He had finally forced to death the person who was supposed to die under the cliff. This was no longer self-blame or hatred, but a complete loss, with no memories left. Qin Moyao sobbed and sat on the ground. The master became her mother, and then disappeared together, leaving her alone. Everything had changed.

The Emei disciples on the mountainside finally fought their way out and rushed over. Some of them were seriously injured. They knelt on the ground with Qin Moyao, crying bitterly. They all saw their master disappear.

Yu Guizhou supported himself and came to Qin Moyao's side. He didn't know what words to use to comfort her, so he could only say: "Miss Qin, please follow us down the mountain!"

After a long time, Qin Moyao stood up, holding the lotus sword in her hand, staring with bloodshot eyes, pointing at Xiao Yuzhen, and shouted angrily: "One day, I will make sure you die without a burial place!" She should have gone up and fought desperately, but she knew that it was impossible for her to kill the two men in front of her now.

The fierce fight on the mountainside also stopped. Xiao Yuzhen did not stop Qin Moyao and the others from leaving. She laughed until tears came out. The person she hated was finally wiped out, and the person she loved deeply no longer felt guilty. The "Eternal Life Secret" was about to be obtained. Everything seemed to be developing in the direction of her dreams. She walked lightly in front of Wuzhan and said softly, "Boy, it's time to tell it!"

Wuzhan retracted his thoughts and whispered, "I have memorized it in my mind. It is a mental method. Do you want me to write it out?"

"No need, just tell it orally and I will remember it. Go ahead!" he said in a calm tone.

Wuzhan said: "I want to ask, how can the Holy Mother guarantee that she will not kill me to silence me after I tell the truth?"

Xiao Yuzhen smiled and said, "If I were to kill you, I would have allowed you to live until today. Besides, with your body, do I really need to kill you? Don't worry, I will never kill you!"

Wuzhan said: "I believe that the Virgin Mary is as good as her word. I also hope that the Virgin Mary will not tell others about my secret, so as to avoid bringing disaster upon me."

"As long as you don't tell anyone else, no one else will know. If you are afraid that others will harm you, you can go to my palace's Cangshan Mountain!"

Wuzhan smiled calmly and said, "I will have the chance to take back the five-colored stone in the future. I appreciate the good intentions of the Virgin Mary. Please listen carefully, Virgin Mary!"

When Xiao Yuzhen heard this, she felt guilty. If she hadn't wanted to find out Leng Muxue's whereabouts, she wouldn't have asked Wuzhan to hand over the five-colored stone.

Wuzhan whispered slowly: "The heart of heaven is boundless, all things can exist, the Tao is always nameless, with a name it knows its limit, heaven and earth are united, like sweet dew, with taste but turbid, turbid does not exist, the essence is vast, it receives orders from the heart, the heart is empty then clear, clear then inaction, inaction then happiness, worries will not be there, and life will be long."

These so-called "Secrets of Immortality" were all the result of Wuzhan's hard thinking in the past few days. If he wanted to escape Xiao Yuzhen's disaster, he needed to create a perfect secret that even a fairy-level master could believe in. This secret would have to be somewhat false. Sadly, after he comprehended these, he could not change his own lifespan.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuzhen stared into the distance and fell into deep thought. After a long time, her eyes gradually became brighter and she showed joy. She turned around and slowly walked towards Ping Qingjue, who was sitting on the ground in a daze with a head full of white hair.

Wuzhan took a deep breath, knowing that this hurdle was finally passed.

Xiao Yuzhen squatted down, held Ping Qingjue's hand, and said softly: "Qingjue, I know the Secret of Immortality!" Seeing that Ping Qingjue did not respond, she continued: "You should know now, she just wants to torture you and make you heartbroken. You don't have to blame yourself. I will accompany you until the end of time."

Ping Qingjue slowly broke free from the jade hand, glared at Xiao Yuzhen, and said fiercely: "This is the end of the world, and it's all thanks to you!" Suddenly he stood up coldly, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Han Xiaoting, I will kill you!" The voice echoed throughout the valley, shaking the leaves.

Afterwards, his figure flashed, and he rushed down the mountain with anger and frustration. The crowd on the mountainside quickly made way for him, fearing that he would take their lives in one blow in his rage.

Xiao Yuzhen hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Qingjue, where are you going?" She felt that if Qingjue left, she would lose everything. She gritted her teeth and flew after him. A moment later, the two disappeared into the jungle at the foot of the mountain.

Wuzhan felt something was not good. He originally wanted Xiao Yuzhen to take him to a safe place before leaving, but now that she left suddenly, how could these people let him go? It seemed that he would not be able to leave this cliff of love today.

Xiao Jinghong was the first to react and flew towards Wuzhan. Before he could rush out several feet, a sword light slashed towards him. Xiao Jinghong jumped up hurriedly to dodge. Turning around, he saw that it was Longquan rushing towards him with a sword. When he paused, Longquan had already got ahead of him. Xiao Jinghong was furious and flew out several "shadowless needles" at Longquan's back. Longquan said coldly, "A mere trick!" He turned his body upside down, waving the Changhong Sword and easily blocking the shadowless needles. He jumped up again and was already in front of Wuzhan.

Longquan held his sword horizontally and shouted at the crowd that was about to surround him: "Who of you dares to come forward!" The disciples of Songshan then also stood in front of Longquan to protect him.

Xiao Jinghong sneered, "Although your cultivation is high, can you defeat hundreds of us? If he doesn't give us a thorough explanation today, I will never let you take him down this cliff!"

Rushing towards the crowd, he echoed, "Yes, we must be given an explanation today!"
