Chapter 572 Doubts

When Fairy Ji Yao heard about her parents, she felt as if a huge rock had hit her heart, and an indescribable pain surged into her heart. Especially when she learned that her father was not with her mother at that decisive moment, her emotions suddenly became complicated. At first, she was glad that her father might not have been directly involved in the disaster, but then she became suspicious and had deep doubts about her father's whereabouts and motives. In the end, these emotions converged into a trembling question: "My father was not there at the time, so how is his cultivation now? Is he still alive?"

Mo Wenjian frowned upon hearing this, his eyes flashing with complex light, as if he was recalling the long-forgotten past. "Well, things in the world are unpredictable, who can tell?" He said slowly, "Maybe he has already transcended the world and ascended to heaven; maybe he met with an accident and was trapped in an unknown corner; or maybe the misfortune your mother encountered back then was inextricably linked to him. In short, I tried my best to find his whereabouts, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news. Instead, I placed all my hopes on you two sisters, and fortunately, with the blessing of God, I finally found you in Liangyi Gate."

At this point, Mo Wenjian's tone was mixed with a hint of helplessness and guilt. "At that time, I was seriously injured and it was difficult for me to use my cultivation, so I had to lure Bai Ximo into the situation. He was a kind and righteous man, and he happened to be nearby. Seeing this, he naturally would not stand idly by. He quickly took you two sisters away, and I was ready to show up to deal with the next crisis. However, just as I was about to take action, a mysterious person took action before me."

Fairy Ji Yao listened attentively, and clenched the red sword in her hand even tighter. She seemed to be able to feel the hatred and anger from ancient times surging in her chest. "Who is that mysterious person? Why did he attack us?" She asked anxiously.

Mo Wenjian shook his head, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. "That man was covered in black fog, like a ghost, isolating the inner and outer worlds. My divine sense could not penetrate the fog at all. I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I could only observe secretly. I saw that he was ruthless. In just a moment, he slaughtered everyone in Liangyi Sect, even the enemies who chased you before were not spared. After he looted all the money and property in the sect, he deliberately glanced at my location. At that moment, I suddenly realized that he had already noticed my existence."

"However, when I decided to show up and compete with him, he turned and left so fast that I could not catch up. His figure gradually disappeared in the distance in the night, leaving me standing there alone, feeling unwilling and guilty." Mo Wenjian's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to hit Fairy Ji Yao's heart like a hammer.

Fairy Ji Yao felt mixed emotions when she heard this. She gently stroked the red sword with shaking hands, her heart filled with endless resentment and grievance. However, she didn't know who to confide in for the pain and struggle of these years. The uncle she just learned was actually her enemy, her former close relatives were no longer alive, and the person who should have been her support had not been seen for many years. She wanted to find answers but was afraid to uncover more pain.

"The curse of the ancestors was too cruel. Just a touch killed my own sister and almost made me follow in her footsteps." Fairy Ji Yao whispered in a voice full of pain and helplessness, "I don't want anyone to be hurt again, especially now that Bai Yu's life is hanging by a thread, I dare not gamble."

However, at this moment, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning - her father might still be alive! This thought moistened her almost dry heart like a spring and rekindled her hope. She wanted to find and witness what the man who once controlled her destiny could bring her? More suffering or a little comfort?

So she mustered up the courage to ask Mo Wenjian again: "When I was a disciple of Yao Chi, were you involved? Was Long'er's death related to you? Was Xiaoyu's experience also caused by you? And should you be the one to pay for the Feng family's vengeance?"

Facing Fairy Ji Yao's series of questions, Mo Wenjian just shook his head and sighed, "Alas, I know everything that Xuan Gu Zi did in your sect. But at that time, I was trapped in a desperate place and couldn't get out, let alone arrive in time to prevent the tragedy from happening. When I got out of the predicament and returned, everything was already a foregone conclusion. Although I tried my best to find a way to remove the curse from your body, I failed in the end. In the end, I could only beat Xuan Gu Zi into a cripple and let her wish for life but not death as a punishment for her crimes."

At this point, Mo Wenjian's eyes flashed with cruelty. It was obvious that he still couldn't let go of the crime that Xuan Guzi had committed. "But even so, I think this punishment is still too light for her." He whispered, his tone full of indignation and unwillingness.

Fairy Ji Yao understood immediately after hearing this. It turned out that the reason why her master ended up like this was all because of Xuan Gu Zi's conspiracy and calculation. And she herself suffered a lot because of this unprovoked disaster. Now she finally understood everything and found her enemy - the mysterious person hiding in the darkness and the master who once betrayed her.

However, even so, she knew that the road ahead would be extremely difficult. But she was ready to face it bravely no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead until she found the answer that could truly solve all the doubts and hatred in her heart.

In the long and complicated grudges in the martial arts world, Luo Hongchen's words were like a sharp blade in the cold wind, piercing Fairy Ji Yao's heart. In her confused eyes, she seemed to be trying to piece together the fragments of the past, trying to find a clear thread from this chaos. Seeing this, Luo Hongchen slowed down his tone and continued: "The matter of Xuan Gu Zi is indeed a personal grudge between you and me, but it is particularly complicated when placed in the context of the turbulent situation three years ago. Boy Feng, an insignificant character in the martial arts world, was drawn into the vortex of fate because of that battle. Do you know that if it weren't for your sword three years ago, Boy Feng might have been able to deal with the formation for a longer time on his own."

Mo Wenjian heard this and shook his head gently, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "You may find it hard to believe, but this is the fact. That day, I did not come for personal revenge, but learned that Xu Yi was on his way to save people. However, when I arrived, Feng Wanlin and his wife had fought with Jiuyou to the last moment. That move of 'Netherworld Exchange' was a desperate blow that both sides tried their best. I was powerless to stop it and could only watch the tragedy happen. The death of Feng Wanlin and his wife was undoubtedly the biggest obstacle for Xu Yi. He, a figure who was also famous in the martial arts world, made a prompt decision and turned to look for the Shenmu Jue hidden by the Feng family."

“The Divine Wood Jue is not only a treasure, but also the key to unlocking the secrets of the Purple Profound Sutra. Without it, even if one possesses the classics of the Purple Profound Sutra, one cannot glimpse its true meaning. Feng Wanlin, the former hero, once traveled across the vast ocean at the risk of serious injury to retrieve this long-lost treasure from the cave of the divine beast. It was this Divine Wood Jue that allowed him to use the power of the Demon-Slaying Array to build meridians and continue the innate power that Feng had gained from the Nine Transformations of the Sacred Heart. However, the price of all this was Feng Wanlin’s own life.” Mo Wenjian’s words revealed a trace of regret that was difficult to conceal, and his admiration for Feng Wanlin was beyond words.

However, despite his regret, he frowned and continued, "Feng Wanlin is indeed admirable. He was able to see through many secrets in just half a year in the kiln, but I, who had not been out of the kiln for ten years, knew nothing about these. This may have something to do with the old woman. Her cultivation is unfathomable, and she may have the means to control everything, or she may have intended to let Feng Wanlin know some information. I wanted to fight her several times, but I was not sure, so I had to give up in the end. Now that I think about it, the formation was broken three years ago, maybe she was secretly controlling it, or maybe some mysterious person was pushing it behind the scenes."

Luo Hongchen's eyes moved when he heard this, and he was obviously very interested in what Mo Wenjian said. He knew the power of the hidden sword sect's unique skills. If he had not achieved a very high level of attainment, it would be impossible to leave such a profound sword meaning in the formation. However, Mo Wenjian in front of him claimed that he was not the one who broke the formation, which made him feel suspicious.

"Are you saying that the person who broke the formation back then was not you?" There was a hint of doubt in Luo Hongchen's voice.

Mo Wenjian nodded, a trace of self-blame flashed in his eyes: "It was indeed not me. When I arrived, the formation had been broken, and Feng Wanlin and his wife were fighting fiercely with Jiuyou. I wanted to help, but I saw a black shadow flash by, and Feng Wanlin also noticed something unusual. He tilted his head to look at me, and we looked at each other, and then I chased the black shadow. But the black shadow was extremely fast, and it lost its trace after entering the depths of the sea of ​​blood. When I returned, Xu Yi had already arrived with people, and Feng Wanlin and his wife..." At this point, Mo Wenjian's voice choked, and he was obviously heartbroken about the death of Feng Wanlin and his wife.

He took a deep breath and continued, "After the death of Feng Wanlin and his wife, the poor families launched a massive killing spree. I wanted to save the two children and the saint girl of the Bai family, but failed for various reasons. I secretly used the Tongtian Talisman, hoping to prolong the life of the saint girl of the Bai family. However, things are unpredictable, and Long'er's determination was beyond my expectations..." Having said that, Mo Wenjian sighed again, as if he felt deeply guilty for his own powerlessness.

In the Acacia Sword Formation, three figures looked at each other, each with complicated emotions in their hearts. Luo Hongchen repeatedly pondered whether Mo Wenjian's words were credible. After all, his current identity was special, and he suddenly appeared after not appearing for many years, and brought news of two enemies, which made people have to be on guard. At the same time, he was also thinking about the identity of the mysterious person and the poor old woman and the forces behind them. All of this made him feel unprecedented pressure and challenges.

On this long journey, everyone is fighting for their own beliefs and pursuits. Whether it is grudges, love and hatred, or life and death decisions, they will continue on this road of no return until they find their own answers and destinations.

In the vast world of cultivation, the conversation between Fairy Ji Yao and Mo Wenjian is like the brightest star in the night sky, leading people to think about the endless mysteries hidden behind it. Fairy Ji Yao, a peerless female cultivator, is thinking not only about the doubts in front of her, but also about the intricate chess game, which is like a huge scroll, slowly unfolding in front of everyone, but no one can see its full picture.

Although Mo Wenjian's words are bizarre, if you savor them carefully, they are like clearing away the clouds and seeing the blue sky, making many originally vague clues gradually clear. What is the purpose behind the secret layout and careful planning of those years? Is it the struggle for power, or the temptation of interests? Or is it a deeper conspiracy and calculation? All of this is like a ghost in the fog, making it hard to figure out.

Fairy Ji Yao could not help but feel a chill in her heart. She knew very well that the chess game was so big that it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It encompassed everything in the world, and even the entire Xuanmen. On this chessboard, everyone was a chess piece. No matter how high or low their cultivation was, no matter how noble or humble their status was, they could not escape the shackles of fate. And the person holding the chess piece was like a ghost hidden in the dark, making it impossible for people to see his true appearance.

She recalled the ups and downs of those years, and the heroes who sacrificed their lives because of this chess game. Zhu Chunhua, a powerful man who should have been at the peak of his powers, died unexpectedly after a fight; her mother, who hid everywhere to escape, but ultimately could not escape her fate; and her father, the man who mysteriously disappeared, he must know something, otherwise how could he leave so decisively?

However, in this seemingly hopeless chess game, there is a glimmer of hope. Fairy Ji Yao thought of the Great Emperor Cangyun Bai Qianyi, the legendary figure who had shocked the Xuanmen for hundreds of years. He had experienced countless disputes and battles, but he was always able to escape unscathed. Now, when the chess game is about to fall into a deadlock, perhaps only he can solve this mystery.

Fairy Ji Yao's hands stopped shaking, and her heart was filled with determination and hope. She decided to rush to Cangyun Sect after completing the great task of Leiming Mountain and explain everything to Bai Qianyi face to face. She believed that with Bai Qianyi's wisdom and strength, he would be able to see through the truth behind it. And she would also use Bai Qianyi's power to find the mysterious person hiding in the dark for herself, Cangyun, the way of Xuanmen, and the whole world.

However, Ling Xuan'er's words were like a bucket of cold water, waking up Fairy Ji Yao's enthusiasm. She reminded Fairy Ji Yao that the master who could break this game must have noticed the existence of this chess game. The reason why he did not take action may be because he had unspeakable difficulties; perhaps because he was waiting for an opportunity; or perhaps, he was waiting for someone who could truly understand this game to appear.
