Chapter 567 Yin Yang Lord
"Tianxin Taoist? Who is he?"

A neutral voice spread throughout the magnificent hall, which was surrounded by carved beams and painted walls, and was indescribably luxurious.
Inside the house, there were groups of beautiful women, each wearing light clothing, playing various musical instruments. The sounds of pipa, zither, and stringed instruments were loud but not chaotic, and instead had a kind of decadent feeling.

This is a building carved from gold and jade. Although it is only gold-plated and decorated with large pieces of jade, it is also the most luxurious in the world. The roof is covered with colorful glazed tiles, and hundreds of golden bells are hung under the eaves. When the wind blows, a series of bell sounds like groans are emitted.

The person who spoke was a young man in a robe with wide sleeves. He had an excellent appearance. If he were a woman, he would be heroic and valiant, and if he were a man, he would be more gentle. At this moment, he opened his heart and was surrounded by several women. He held up a bronze wine cup in his hand, and his eyes seemed to flash with a strange light.

A woman in red was kneeling at his feet. She was a well-known figure in the outside world, but at this moment she was trembling like a quail with her head lowered.

The man lowered his head and drank the wine in the cup, then threw the bronze cup away. The woman who was waiting for him held the cup in her arms to warm it.

"Hongyu, I'm not very satisfied with what you did this time." The man said leisurely, stretched out his hand and looked at his jade-like and green fingers towards the light in the room, with a smile on his face, but it made people more frightened.

"Hongyu knows she has failed in her duties, and I beg for punishment from the Lord."

"Forget it, tell me about Li Ming and Taoist Tianxin." The man waved his hand, and the beautiful attendants around him all retreated in an orderly manner.

Soon, only the man and Hong Niang were left in the huge hall. Hong Niang knelt on the ground, unable to get up, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Li Ming had previously foiled the Blood River Dao's plan and was already on the blacklist. It was my bad luck to run into him this time, but the Taoist Tianxin..."

Hongniang's body suddenly trembled. The man frowned slightly, then snorted coldly and said, "Forget it, I'll see for myself!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and used a claw to pull Hong Niangzi in front of him. Two rays of divine light, one black and one white, flowed in his eyes and then projected into Hong Niangzi's eyes.

Hongniang's muscles twitched suddenly, and her face showed pain. She tried to endure it, but she couldn't help making some moaning sounds, which was quite tempting.

The man's powerful mental strength and Hongniang's fully open mind quickly allowed the man to enter Hongniang's memory.

Thousands of pictures suddenly appeared before his eyes. There were some fragmentary memories that even Hongniang herself might not remember, but at this moment they were clearly visible in the man's eyes.

"Master, it's a girl." This was the voice of the midwife.

Then, in a different moment, a girl of seven or eight years old was trapped in an underground dark room. The man recognized that this was a place they had specially set up. Every year, countless boys, girls and children were captured here, and then after strict training, only one person could survive. It was no exaggeration to say that only one was picked out of a hundred.

But the man didn't care. He just walked forward and quickly skipped over Hongniang's memories of most of her life. Then he stopped in front of a picture of a man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

He chanted a long verse from Heaven, the profound truths within it causing him to sink into deep thought. Then, with a single blow, he slashed, crushing Gu Bahuang's army to pieces. Even Hong Niang herself was wounded, her spirit shattered by the blow. Seeing this, the man nodded, as if muttering to himself, "You do have some skills."

Then he took another step forward and saw an old Taoist with a strange face, tall but thin figure suddenly stretched out his hand, and contained the heaven and earth in one palm. It was as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. This move made Hong Niangzi's spirit, which had already been shaken by Li Mingtian's sword, even more unable to muster any strength to resist.

……

"Don't wake up yet!"

When Hongniang opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a man with a calm face and wide sleeves standing in front of her.

"My lord, I..." Lady Hong opened her mouth to speak.

The man waved his hand and said, "Hongyu, I already know everything. You go down and receive thirty soul-calling whips, then go into seclusion in the White Bone Cave for three months."

"My Lord." Lady Hong seemed to want to say something, but she just gritted her teeth and nodded, "Thank you for your mercy, my Lord. Hongyu is willing to accept the punishment."

This soul-calling whip is an extremely cruel form of punishment in his sect. An ordinary person will be killed with one whip. A strong and well-trained martial artist can only withstand ten whips. Thirty whips will seriously injure even the master Hong Niangzi.

This section is still a small matter. The key is the White Bone Cave. The White Bone Cave is in the Yinshan Mountains. There is a cold and evil wind in the cave that has not changed for thousands of years. It can cut bones and flesh. In the past, it was a place for disciples who practiced hard skills to temper themselves. Later, the cold wind in the White Bone Cave became stronger every year, and it became a place of punishment. In three months, plus the injury from the Soul-Calling Whip, although it was just a short line of words, it definitely took away half of Hongniang's life.

But she had absolutely no dissatisfaction at all. After all, this was unexpectedly kind to her master.

"Go ahead." The man waved his hand, and Hongniang got up and left. The hall became increasingly empty, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The man showed a playful smile, sat in the chair and thought for a moment, then muttered to himself.

"That kid surnamed Li caused their Blood River Sect to suffer a great loss. However, they are currently overwhelmed with various matters, with a major plan about to be launched and changes on all sides. He has the strength of a Grandmaster and cannot spare any manpower in a short period of time. Surprisingly, he has offended me. Haha, but the most crucial person is the old Taoist Tianxin. He has an extremely profound merit and a solid foundation. He follows the path of the True Teaching. Others may not be able to see that claw, but it can't escape my discerning eyes. He has already entered the realm of supernatural powers. Such a person must be guarded against. When did the True Teaching Sect produce such a master? Why did they steal the Six Desires Divine Sword from my sect? No, no, no, if they wanted to make things difficult for me, why would they do it with such fanfare? They also let Bahuang and Hongyu return alive, clearly intending to send a message to me. Could it be that someone secretly framed them? Or is it a deliberate trap?"

"Alright, you're already teasing me before you accomplish anything major. That's quite interesting. Do you really think I'm made of clay? You've even destroyed Bahuang's foundation. Even after my injuries heal, I won't have that courageous spirit to make progress anymore. I'm already half-useless! I want to see who broke the rules and did such a thing in secret!"

Although the man's face showed no joy or sadness, his tone was filled with anger. Two rays of light, one black and one white, flowed in his eyes, and his aura was vibrating. After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly stood up and walked out of the hall.
