Fengyunlu

Chapter 722 Collecting the Corpse

An old man with a slightly hunched figure and a shriveled face, wearing a long robe that had turned from gray to black, showed the traces of time. His hair was loose, fixed only by an old hairpin, and his eyes were smiling but alertly scanning the surroundings. His sparse goat beard was mixed with gray and yellow. He held a wine gourd in his left hand and played with an object similar to a jade token in his right hand, and walked slowly into the center of the venue. As soon as he landed, he stared at Fengchen and Baiyu who were in a coma, then looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on the Buddha.

“Excuse me, senior, who are you?” Upon seeing this, the Buddha put his hands together, bowed respectfully, and asked politely.

"Little monk, I have observed you for a long time, and you are the one I admire the most."

"I am a foolish monk and I cannot understand what you mean. I hope you can teach me."

"It is understandable that you dared to kill Bai Qianyi's granddaughter, but that little girl is not only a descendant of the Bai family, but also the daughter-in-law of the Feng family."

"Senior, who are you?"

The old man said nothing and casually threw the jade token in his hand to the Buddha. The latter took it and was a little confused when he first saw Feng Wanlin's name and birth date, but when he turned to the back, complex emotions revealed in his eyes.

"Senior, why are you here?"

"The devil's light was everywhere, it was hard not to see it. It happened that old Luo was unable to cope with the situation, so I had to rush here. Unfortunately, I was still a step late, and could only collect the body of this little Fengzi. Fortunately, he still has a son alive, which is an explanation." Although the old man's words were a little cold, his position was self-evident. He was on Bai Ximo's side at the moment.

"Don't worry. With all of us attacking him, even if he is very powerful, he will not be able to withstand our siege. When his strength is exhausted, he will eventually die."

"Forget it. I have no intention of killing anyone. Besides, Old Luo will arrive soon, and the elders of the Yin family will also be here."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into hesitation. The old Luotou mentioned by the old man was the Spring and Autumn Emperor Luo Hongchen, whose name was quite intimidating among the various sects. Although he was a great emperor, he did not behave like one. He often ignored the convention that those with high cultivation would not fight with the younger generation. He was alone and fearless, and was indeed a difficult person to mess with.

The scene changed again, this time showing the Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood, a sea filled with the breath of death, with howling winds and surging blood waves, as if it could even devour souls.

"Master, just now the old ghost sent someone to report that he had found the target and the item, but something unexpected had occurred. I'm afraid the two Saints will need to help."

In the Demon Palace of the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Demon Sect leader Xu Yi was standing sideways beside a blood pool in a secret room, silently watching the surging bloody evil spirit, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. Suddenly he noticed something unusual behind him, and squinted slightly, but did not turn around. After a moment, an ethereal voice came from the darkness, and at the same time, there seemed to be a flash of black light in the darkness.

"I understand. Go ahead." After hearing this, Xu Yi did not make any decision. He just gave a faint order and continued to stare at the blood pool, as if he was thinking deeply about something important.

"Please speak." Soon, Xu Yi came back to his senses and saw that the black shadow in the darkness had not dissipated. He knew that there must be an important matter to be decided.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the child who was rescued that year has entered the desert three days ago. Should we bring him back?" The black shadow was about to report the matter, but seeing Xu Yi was in deep thought, he did not dare to disturb him. It was not until Xu Yi asked that he replied.

"Oh? Bai Ximo is willing to let him go?" Xu Yi's eyes moved slightly, and he seemed quite interested.

After a moment's silence, Xu Yi seemed to have realized something and gave instructions: "Let's put the matter of the child aside for now and deal with the urgent matters first. We cannot afford to make mistakes at this critical moment. Also, tell Lao Gui to stay calm. I will personally participate in this operation."

"As ordered."

"Xu Yi..." Bai Ximo whispered softly. In her heart, the name of Demon Lord Xu Yi was no longer just a symbol of hatred. Her eyes seemed to contain unspeakable disgust, and at the same time, they were also filled with many doubts.

A hundred years ago, the Demon Lord Xu Yi suddenly appeared in people's vision like a bright new star. His origins remain a mystery, but there are rumors that he is the descendant of two supreme masters of the Han Clan. At that time, the real ruler of the Han Clan, the two saints in the cloud, personally found him and introduced him to someone unknown. Not long after, Xu Yi became the acting leader of the Han Clan and took power. Under his leadership, the Han Clan, which was once torn apart and on the verge of decline, regained its vitality in just twenty years.

There are so many experts in the poor family that those who follow the evil path all admire them, and those who follow the righteous path also flock to them. However, what really puzzled Bai Ximo, Lei Gong and others was what kind of benefits Xu Yi promised that made so many people willing to betray their master, give up the reputation of the righteous path, and join the poor family. Even if they risked being killed and attacked, they did not hesitate. Behind this, in addition to Xu Yi's promise, Bai Ximo believed that there must be a deeper reason, perhaps the so-called destiny, or perhaps a major secret related to the entire Xuanmen.

Bai Ximo's guess about this secret is that it may come from the poor family's kiln. However, the only outsider who has been lucky enough to enter the kiln and escape unscathed is Feng Wanlin. As for what secrets are hidden in the kiln, Bai Ximo has asked Feng Wanlin many times, but Feng Wanlin always kept silent on the grounds that the time is not right. Until the Feng family encountered a disaster later, Feng Wanlin never really revealed the secret.

Although Bai Ximo could not be sure of other people's thoughts, he absolutely believed in Feng Wanlin. In his opinion, there must be a shocking secret hidden in the bitter kiln. Even a figure like Feng Wanlin was like a god in Bai Ximo's eyes. For this so-called secret, Feng Wanlin was willing to give up his almost foreseeable brilliant achievements, not pursuing the supreme realm, but entrusting it to future generations. Bai Ximo pondered for three years, and in the end he could only shake his head and sigh, failing to truly understand Feng Wanlin's intentions.

However, the only possibility he could think of was that Feng Wanlin had seen through everything and knew everything. He knew that he could not figure out this secret, and only the innate spirit could solve it. This also confirmed Bai Ximo's guess that Feng Wanlin was determined to train his offspring at all costs. The origin of this innate spirit must have been the plan he made after contemplating it for a long time in the bitter kiln and finally making it out of helplessness.

Perhaps this was also a helpless act, but this incident just fulfilled the legend of Hanmen's Purple Mysterious Scripture. Perhaps Hanmen had spent so much effort to create this scripture, and it was also out of helplessness, so they asked Daojun Shenmu to create this scripture in preparation for future needs. However, Hanmen failed many times, and finally let Feng Wanlin, an outsider, complete this feat. In this way, Fengchen's future may be full of hardships, but all this may be intentional by Hanmen to train Fengchen. Perhaps behind Xuanmen is the real enemy of both good and evil. In this way, Xu Yi's inadvertent revelation of rushing to rescue three years ago may also be true.

But Bai Ximo didn't want to believe it. Not only him, but also the friends who had a close personal relationship with Feng Wanlin at the time didn't want to believe it. However, today, after the deduction of this illusion, Bai Ximo's state of mind was inadvertently affected, and many things that he was originally obsessed with seemed to have become more tolerant at this moment.

"Is this also part of fate?" Bai Ximo seemed to be asking himself. It was when he asked this question that the illusion in front of him began to become vivid, and those strange words reappeared. Bai Ximo watched intently, becoming more focused. He was not only worried about Fengchen's affairs, but also looking for a way out for himself.

In the water, the writing was as big as stars. Bai Ximo could barely interpret the meaning: Eight hundred years ago, the old master Yin Taixu united the Five Emperors to end the centuries-long struggle for the Great Dao. After this battle, the Xuanmen sect completely declined. But if there was no war, the world would collapse. This battle lasted for more than a hundred years. In the end, the royal family and the Five Emperors won with a slight advantage, and the Xuanmen sect in the world also declined.

Eight hundred years ago, during the Five Emperors era, my father was among them. However, my father and other soldiers who participated in the battle kept their mouths shut about how the decisive battle unfolded. Even the most experienced old master in the imperial garden claimed that the pain he suffered at the time made it impossible for him to recall the details clearly. All signs indicate that there must be an unknown secret behind the battle, and the depth of the involvement is unimaginable. Bai Ximo muttered to himself while examining the ancient book in front of him, and his tone seemed to be telling something to others.

However, this mysterious ancient cave did not give any response, as if time had stopped here. Bai Ximo seemed to be in the void at this moment, without any constraints, only the words in front of him were telling the traces of history: after that battle, Xuanmen fell into an unprecedented predicament. Seeing that the foundation left by their ancestors was about to decline, everyone could not bear to let the hard work of their ancestors go to waste, so they jointly established the Imperial Garden and the five major sects. They stored most of the skills in the Imperial Garden for the world's ambitious people to study.

Among them, the descendants of Baidi in the Cangyun Sect of the South Sea, the descendants of Qingdi in the Qingli Palace of the Canghai Sea, the descendants of Yandi in the Boyang Valley of the Wilderness, the descendants of Jingdi in the Fengyun Pass of the Northern Frontier, and the descendants of Xuandi in the Yaochi of the Western Kunlun Mountains were all unable to pass on their ancestors' skills to the world because of their ancestral bloodline. So, like the Emperor Garden, they offered up the spoils of war that were treasured in their sects. After that, they set the rules for the Great Emperor Competition. Anyone who could surpass the Hunyuan Realm or meet certain requirements would be eligible to be named a Great Emperor.

The emperors can comprehend the original scrolls of Tongtian talismans left behind or guarded by the major sects, and their sects can also enjoy the treatment of the emperor's sect. This arrangement is to restrain the Xuanmen on the one hand, and to motivate the Xuanmen on the other hand to prevent the tragedy of the Great Dao dispute from happening again. After five hundred years of recuperation, the Xuanmen finally recovered some vitality, and talents emerged in large numbers. Sects stood in a row, all following the orders of the Emperor's Garden. However, the remnants of the Hanmen who had caused the Great Dao dispute seemed to be showing signs of revival. At this time, the deadline for Grand Master Yin Taixu came, and he had no choice but to choose to die. The other five emperors of the Xuanmen also died one after another. Although the Xuanmen recovered a lot of vitality, the real top combat power was in a situation of lack of successors, and the Hanmen rose up as a result.

They began to wantonly seduce people all over the world and develop their own power. More than two hundred years later, the Blood Sea Demon Sect, the Nether Ghost Path, the Savage Temple and other forces appeared one after another and formed an alliance. In desperation, the world began a battle between good and evil that lasted for hundreds of years. At first, both sides won and lost, and the situation was deadlocked. But five hundred years ago, a genius named Liao Cangsheng appeared in the Imperial Garden. This man created three great powers by himself, which led to the defeat of the evil path, and only a few people escaped. Later, Liao Cangsheng was sent to guard Hanchuan. For some reason, he turned from good to evil and became the leader of the Demon Sect. He also incorporated the remaining forces of the Ghost Palace Temple and began his own development.

At first, the world didn't know about this. It wasn't until three hundred years ago when the Jianyin Sect, the leader of the Xuanmen righteous sect, was massacred that this incident was exposed to the world. Therefore, the Buddhist sect was selected as one of the five major sects and became one of the five emperors. The five emperors joined forces, and after losing three people, Liao Cangsheng was seriously injured and retreated. Later, there were rumors that Liao Cangsheng died of his injuries, because when the Demon Sect was torn apart, Liao Cangsheng did not come forward to restrain it. Even when Feng Wanlin and others entered the Demon Sect's main altar, Liao Cangsheng did not show up. It was not until more than ten years ago when Feng Wanlin had an accident in Fengsha Castle that the world knew that Liao Cangsheng might not be dead.

Two hundred years ago, Feng Wanlin, the head of the Feng family in the northern border, was born and was hailed as the person with the greatest hope of revealing the universe. At this time, the battle between good and evil has also entered its final period. The forces of the righteous are huge, and the remnants of the Demon Sect are struggling to hold on. In the end, the decisive battle took place at the former site of the Sword Hidden Sect in the Desert. In the fierce battle, the Demon Sect was defeated and the remaining forces fled back to the sea of ​​blood. After discussion, Feng Wanlin, who was in the limelight, Lei Gong, two people from the Cangyun Sect, two people from the Buddhist Sect, three people from Qingli, two people from Yaochi, and two people from Boyang, a total of thirteen people, each led ten people to fight into the sea of ​​blood and break through the Demon Sect's main altar.

However, they did not expect to fall into an illusion array and were divided into three groups. Among them, the two people from Boyang Valley, Bai Ximo and one person from Yaochi were on one group, the two people from Qingli, one person from Yaochi and Lei Gong were on one group, Feng Wanlin, Xu Yi, two people from Fozong, and Bai Xibo were on one group. Although they fought each other, no one could stop them. As the people from the Demon Sect fled to the Fairy Demon Island, they encountered an accident when they chased in. There was a large array of guards on the Fairy Demon Island, and the long-lost Yunzhong Ersheng and Siling Shengzun were personally guarding it.

Everyone was trapped, and later everyone finally got together, but found that only Feng Wanlin survived. After Lei Gong entered the illusion array, the man from Yaochi and a man from Qingli Palace died in the sea of ​​blood to save Lei Gong and his senior brother. Everyone from Boyang Valley survived, and after the seven people and more than 30 people joined together, they worked together to fight their way out of the siege. After that, the Demon Sect was destroyed, the evil ways were almost extinct, and the seven people who led it all became masters of the Xuanmen.

Fifteen years after everyone returned, something unexpected happened. Something unexpected happened to the Northern Frontier Demon Slaying Formation that was guarded by the Sword Hidden Sect. All the personnel sent by the Imperial Garden to guard the formation were killed, and the treasure of the Sword Hidden Sect, the relic of the ancestor Emperor Jing, that was guarding the formation, was also stolen...
