Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Xue Yang fell to the ground, and Jiang Cheng did not look at him. Instead, he asked Xiao Xingchen, who still seemed to be in a trance, "Master Xiao Xingchen, Xue Yang has done many evil things, so I don't need to say more. How do you want to deal with him?"

Without waiting for Xiao Xingchen to speak, Miss Aqing suppressed her fear and once again tightened her grip on Xiao Xingchen's sleeves, saying in a trembling voice, "He killed someone, and he wants to kill me to silence me!"

Xue Yang raised his head and looked at Miss Aqing with a fierce smile, "I should have known that you are not blind at all!"

Miss A-Qing was so frightened that her whole body trembled. Xiao Xingchen finally came back to his senses. He asked Xue Yang in a trembling voice: "So, those so-called evil spirits I killed before were actually innocent people, right?"

Xue Yang saw Xiao Xingchen's pale face, even his lips were pale, and the fear of losing Xiao Xingchen in his heart faded a lot. He chuckled and said to Xiao Xingchen: "Yes, then you are as unclean as me."

Jiang Cheng already understood what was going on between Xiao Xingchen and Xue Yang, but he was so shocked that he couldn't think of any way to comfort Xiao Xingchen. Xiao Xingchen simply drew his sword and cut off Xue Yang's head, and then quickly drew his sword and committed suicide in everyone's shocked eyes. Jiang Cheng didn't even have time to react, and Xue Yang's head almost rolled under the table. When he looked up again, Xiao Xingchen had been hugged by Miss A Qing and fell to the ground.

Miss Aqing cried to Xiao Xingchen who was still alive, "It's not your fault, Taoist priest. You were deceived by Xue Yang. He deceived you!"

"Young Master, please save the Taoist priest!"

How could Jiang Cheng not want to save people? "Miss A-Qing, you should have heard the saying, there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. Taoist Xiao Xingchen is like this now."

Xiao Xingchen hadn't died completely yet, but his consciousness had already broken apart and began to dissipate. He really didn't want to leave any hope for himself.

Jiang Cheng also regretted exposing Xue Yang's identity so hastily. He never expected that Xue Yang would take advantage of Xiao Xingchen's eyesight problems to lure innocent people to pretend to be evil spirits, causing Xiao Xingchen to commit many murders.

Jiang Cheng gathered the last bit of Xiao Xingchen's consciousness in the Soul Locking Bag. If someone could help him do good deeds and cleanse his sins, he would have a chance to return to the human world one day. Jiang Cheng felt guilty towards him, so he decided to do it himself.

Seeing Miss Aqing crying uncontrollably, Jiang Cheng advised: "Miss Aqing, I have collected the last bit of Taoist Xiao Xingchen's spiritual consciousness. It is hard to say that I had no involvement in today's events, so I decided to take Taoist Xiao Xingchen's spiritual consciousness with me to travel around the world to slay demons and monsters, help the weak and fight against the strong. In the future, if I do good deeds, Taoist Xiao Xingchen will be able to return to the world of the living one day."

Miss Ajing cried even harder after hearing this. After a while, she asked anxiously as if grasping at a life-saving straw: "Sir, are you serious? Will the Taoist priest really be able to return to the world one day?"

Jiang Cheng shook her hand that was holding his arm and confirmed, "That day will come."

Miss Aqing turned around and cried to Xiao Xingchen and apologized: "Master, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked you to save Xue Yang. This way you wouldn't be so desperate..."

Jiang Cheng himself could endure a little hunger, but Miss Aqing was a pure mortal. Her hands and feet would become weak if she didn't eat for one or two meals. What's more, she had personally arranged Xiao Xingchen's funeral. Jiang Cheng cooperated with her and carefully found a Feng Shui good place to bury Xiao Xingchen. Miss Aqing turned around and fainted because she relaxed her breath.

While Jiang Cheng took Miss Aqing to the city to get a prescription, a group of young men who went out for night hunting came to Miss Aqing's residence. Leaders among them were Lan Jingyi and Lan Sizhui of the Lan family, as well as Jin Ling and Wei Wuxian who accidentally met these young men.

It was already late at night. Song Zichen, who was killed by Xiao Xingchen's sword designed by Xue Yang, had long been refined into a Yin corpse by Xue Yang. It was dark now, and it was the time when these Yin creatures were most active. Jiang Cheng took Miss Aqing to the city to avoid them. The young men who came out for night hunting ran into Song Zichen head-on.

As the fight went on, Wei Wuxian finally recognized that the powerful Yin corpse in front of him was an acquaintance. He quickly took a group of juniors to trap Song Zichen, and he also spent some of his essence, blood, and spiritual power to help Song Zichen regain consciousness.

Wei Wuxian bowed to Song Zichen and said, “Master Song, you are polite. But, Master, how did you become like this?”

Song Zichen still remembered Wei Wuxian, even though Wei Wuxian's appearance had changed a bit, but he didn't judge people by appearance alone. However, after hearing the rumors about Wei Wuxian over the years, he stopped addressing Wei Wuxian and said, "My lord, you are polite. I still have to look for Xiao Xingchen, so let's say goodbye now."

Song Zichen was worried about Xiao Xingchen's safety, and now he didn't care about his half-human appearance. Seeing that the young man behind Wei Wuxian had no intention of getting involved, he hurried towards the city. He had previously noticed that Xiao Xingchen was followed by a girl with poor eyesight, and he thought that someone in the city must recognize that girl.

A group of juniors waited for Song Zichen to leave, then pulled Wei Wuxian aside to ask about the story of Song Zichen and Xiao Xingchen. After all, the names of "Xiao Xingchen as the breeze and moon, and Song Zichen as proud as the snow and frost" have been widely spread over the years. However, they did not expect to see the true face of one of them now, and that the other person had been killed and turned into a Yin corpse puppet.

Wei Wuxian felt even more worried. After all, this method of corpse refining was obviously created by Xue Yang, and it could only be accomplished with the Yin Tiger Talisman or Yin Iron. He had not had time to ask Xue Yang about it just now, and now that Song Zichen had left, he could only keep this matter in mind for the time being.

Unexpectedly, after searching a few more courtyards, Jin Ling found a headless person in the place where Miss Aqing and her friends used to live. Wei Wuxian ran over and saw that the dead person was Xue Yang.

Several juniors came closer to take a look. The brave Lan Sizhui judged that the other party had died not long ago based on the degree of blood coagulation and color. Lan Jingyi, who was a step behind, also found that there should have been another person without cultivation in the room. Later, Ouyang Zizhen saw the half-fried dishes in the pot and then put aside, which meant that someone should have suddenly appeared here. After a fight, Xue Yang was killed and another person was injured, but then they all left.

Wei WuXian looked at another pool of blood but was not so optimistic: “There is quite a lot of blood here. What I mean is that this person was only a little later than Xue Yang.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Ling analyzed: "So, by that calculation, there are at least four people here. Xue Yang who died, a cultivator who disappeared behind him, a mortal who knows nothing, and the last one who was not injured and took away another cultivator and the mortal cultivator."

Lan Sizhui was a little worried after hearing this: "I don't know what kind of person the third monk is. Where did he go after taking a mortal and a monk who might have died?"

Wei WuXian chuckled and said, “Children, if you want to know what happened here, then be a good guardian for me.”

The group of children excitedly divided the work. Wei Wuxian watched them stop making noise, then took out the talisman he had drawn and absorbed Xue Yang's spiritual consciousness to check what had happened during the day.
