Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

In the early morning of Wengyuan Hall, the sun is shining brightly and the breeze is not dry!

Qin Wuchang settled Ling'er and didn't care about it anymore. He faced death calmly. But people, even cultivators, have a strong desire to survive. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will choose to resist when facing those attacking him!

"Devil's Soul-Smashing Palm"

Qin Wuchang mobilized the only true energy in his body and transformed it into countless palm powers to meet the three people from the Shadow Hall. The four powerful true energies collided and a shocking explosion occurred. In the morning light, there was no change in the Wengyuan Hall, but the city outside was reduced to ashes!

When the smoke and dust cleared, the three people from the Shadow Hall were surprised to see the Weng Yuan Hall, which was still made of bricks, tiles and red walls! Forgetting even their own injuries, the green-turbaned masked man and the brown-turbaned masked man lay on the ground, spitting blood, while the black-turbaned masked man stood in the void, looking at the blue-black light in the Weng Yuan Hall with blood on the corner of his mouth - Qin Wuchang's only spiritual consciousness, his body had turned into dust in the explosion.

A ray of divine consciousness turned into a voice and exclaimed:

"It's you! You're not dead? How did you become a lackey of the Shadow Hall?!"

The masked man with black scarf has taken off his black scarf, revealing his white face. His skinny face is dotted with a little white beard. The only distinctive feature is a dark birthmark on the right side of his face!

"I didn't expect Brother Qin to recognize me. Tell me, where is the Demon King's Sacred Bone?"

It is obvious that the Demon Emperor's holy bones are not on Qin Wuchang.

"A famous and upright sect has become a lackey of the Shadow Hall. In the past, they were also the pride of Manghuang!"

"Everyone has his own path to take. Some can choose, while others have no choice. Brother Qin, have a safe journey!"

The masked man with the black scarf took out another black scarf to cover his face, then flew forward to destroy Qin Wuchang's last consciousness!

"See you soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless smoke came out of a pipe in the Weng Yuan Hall, blocking the vision of the man in the black scarf and mask. A beam of blue-black light flew out of the Weng Yuan Hall. After shattering the smoke, the man in the black scarf and masked flew out, while the two people on the ground slowly got up and walked out of the Weng Yuan Hall.

In the morning light, Wengyuan Hall had returned to its peaceful and tranquil state, but the small city wall with its gray walls and stone gates had disappeared!

On the Hanging Mountain, there are two people on the floating stone, one is an armless old man, and the other is Ouyang Zhengxiong, the current head of the Ouyang family!

"Zhengxiong, do you want to betray your master and ancestors?"

The armless old man looked at Ouyang Zhengxiong who was about to kill him and shouted.

"Uncle, that's too harsh. I just gave you a ride. Compared to you, how can I be considered as dishonoring my teacher and ancestors?"

Ouyang Zhengxiong did not make a move because he was already sure of victory!

"Zhengxiong, this is Xuankong Mountain, Jianchi Valley! Not Ouyang Villa!"

The armless old man doesn't seem scared!

Ouyang Zhengxiong said calmly:

"So what if it's Hanging Mountain? The Sword Pond Valley is also the sword pond of the Ouyang family, not your Ouyang Qingcheng's sword pond!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I just want to tell my uncle that the Sword Pond is the foundation of the Ouyang family, not your private territory, Ouyang Qingcheng!"

The armless old man was shocked when he heard this and shouted loudly:

"Someone, capture Ouyang Zhengxiong!"

Except for the echo, nothing changed in the Sword Pond Valley. The armless old man shouted again:

"Where is Elder Jianchi? Capture Ouyang Zhengxiong!"

Jianchi Valley was still silent, and no one responded!

Ouyang Zhengxiong looked at the armless old man with contempt and said coldly:

"Uncle, why do you have to do this? Since I can sit on this floating stone with you on an equal footing, you should understand that the people of Xuankong Mountain have returned to the Ouyang family. Oh! No, I should say that they have always been members of the Ouyang family, but they no longer obey you alone!"

"Elder Jianchi, take the order, arrest Ouyang Zhengxiong!"

The armless old man was a little unwilling to give up, but at the same time he didn't believe that everyone had betrayed him!

Ouyang Zhengxiong sneered and shouted to the outside of the valley:

"Elder Jianchi, listen up and guard the area around Xuankong Mountain. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"

The surroundings responded in unison: "Yes!"

The armless old man looked at Ouyang Zhengxiong in front of him, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar, and at the same time he was shocked.

"Elder Jianchi obeyed his orders and has been guarding Xuankong Mountain for generations. How come he suddenly became Ouyang Zhengxiong's subordinate without even noticing it!"

Said softly:

"Zhengxiong, my uncle has really misjudged you over the years. For more than a decade, you have been showing weakness to the great families like Gongsun, but you have been obedient to me. Now it seems that you were just pretending. You look submissive, but you are actually very ambitious!"

The armless old man Ouyang Qingcheng had seen many storms and waves, and faced with the changes, he did not panic at all!

Ouyang Zhengxiong argued:

"Uncle, what you said is wrong. Zhengxiong is showing weakness. He has no ambition, only hatred in his heart!"

The armless old man sighed upon hearing this.

"Zhengxiong, is all this for Zhiqing?"

When Ouyang Zhengxiong heard the name, his face instantly became gloomy and terrifying, and he said sternly:

"Are you qualified to mention her? How dare you mention Zhiqing?"

The armless old man ignored Ouyang Zhengxiong's excitement and said calmly:

"Hey, you still can't forget her, but what's the point of doing this? She has been a mother for almost 20 years, and she is still your sister!"

"Uncle, you still want to lie to me at this time? Since I liked Zhiqing back then, I already knew that she was not my biological sister!"

Ouyang Zhengxiong regained his composure and became very confident!

This time it was the armless old man's turn to lose his composure, and he asked sternly:

"How do you know? This is impossible!"

Ouyang Zhengxiong ignored the excited armless old man and continued:

"Back then, Zhiqing could have married me, but you insisted on marrying her to the Ji family, and even kept saying that the Ji family owed our Ouyang family. That was clearly your fault!"

"Fool, how do you know the secret? Do you think your uncle doesn't know that you are interested in Zhiqing? Not to mention that she has no romantic feelings for you, even if she is attracted to you, I will not let her stay in the Ouyang family! She is an ominous person!"

The armless old man seems to have something to hide!

Ouyang Zhengxiong sneered upon hearing this:

"Just because she is a descendant of the Blood Shadow Clan?"

The armless old man was shocked when he heard this and asked in horror:

"How did you know?"

Ouyang Zhengxiong said coldly:

"Uncle, I have spent decades to find out everything, otherwise why would I touch you? I want to know now, were you deceived by the Ji family back then? Or are you in cahoots with the Ji family?"

The armless old man ignored Ouyang Zhengxiong's questioning and continued to ask:

"How did you know?"

"I've also been to the vast desert, and I saved a fish that had escaped the net that year!"

"When did you go?"

"Of course, when I felt I had the ability to come out alive, I went to the Vast Desert alone to find out the cause of my parents' death. I wanted to find out what happened back then and why you were the only one from the Ouyang family who came out!"

The armless old man actually asked a nonsense question.

"Did you find it?"

"God helps those who work hard. I saved a dying man and learned some things about the past!"

The armless old man laughed and said:

"Saved? Don't make yourself sound so noble. He must have been captured!"

"Even if they are caught, it would be more humane than exterminating your clan, right?"

Ouyang Zhengxiong did not deny it!

"Ah, how can I explain everything that happened back then? There are some things you won't understand!"

The armless old man let out a sigh!

"Bloodthirsty Demonic Skill!"

Upon hearing this, the armless old man's face changed drastically and he said in shock:

"You, what on earth did you do?"

Ouyang Zhengxiong ignored the panic of the armless old man and asked:

"Uncle, tell me, almost all the elites of the Ouyang family were killed back then, and you, the Jianchi Elder whose cultivation was not the highest, became the only survivor. Were you saved by the Ji family? Did the Ji family give you the information? Or did you conspire with the Ji family from the beginning?"

"It wasn't my fault back then, but it was also my fault. Afterwards, I realized that the Ji family had taken advantage of the Ouyang family. The Ji family told me the news about the Sea Crystal Pearl, and I told your great-grandfather at the time. Your great-grandfather wanted to create an imperial sword! And it was rumored that the Sea Crystal Pearl could be used to cultivate an imperial weapon, so the Ouyang family sent all their elite troops and the Ji family into the vast sea desert!

But who knew that there was actually a tribe in the vast sea desert, which is the Blood Shadow tribe you mentioned. The Ouyang family didn't know about it, but the people of the Ji family killed them as soon as they met, and shouted to hand over the Sea Crystal Pearl. At that time, your great-grandfather felt something was wrong and wanted to explain, but the Ji family and the Blood Shadow tribe were already blood-thirsty. In the end, the people of the Ouyang family were forced to join the battle. In the end, the two sides fought a decisive battle on the shore of Hailing Lake in the vast sea desert, but no one expected that the Ji family actually had hidden personnel and set up a killing array at Hailing Lake!

Except for me who was injured in the Ji family's guard team, the rest of the Blood Shadow Clan and the Ouyang Family were all killed in the formation!"

The armless old man recalled the tragic situation of that year and still sighed at this moment!

"I understood then that I was being plotted against by the Ji family, but what could I do? I endured the humiliation and returned with them without saying a word! And the Sea Crystal Pearl was also taken away by the Ji family!"

"What about Zhiqing?"

Ouyang Zhengxiong asked seriously.

"After the Ji family left, I sneaked into the vast desert again. I didn't expect to see Zhiqing. First, I couldn't bear to commit another murder. Second, I wanted to understand why the Ji family did this. Third, I thought she was the seed of revenge left by God for the Ouyang family!"

"It seems that they are really from the Ji family, but why are they here?"

Ouyang Zhengxiong talked to himself.

The armless old man thought for a moment and said:

"I don't know. After so many years, I still don't understand. If it's for the Sea Crystal Pearl, there's no need to exterminate the clan! And the people of the Ji family seem to be very afraid of those people, otherwise there wouldn't be so many Ji family masters coming!"

The armless old man said calmly:

"Zhengxiong, I am not afraid of death. After all, it is of course my fault, but you must not have any thoughts of revenge. The power of the Ji family is not something that my Ouyang family can shake! You have never seen it, so you don't know how powerful it is!"

"Hehe, the Ji family is tying themselves up in knots. Besides, how could the Ji family have only the Ouyang family as an enemy for so many years!"

Ouyang Zhengxiong looked at the armless old man who was determined to die and asked:

"Tell me, what tricks will the Ji family play this time?"

The armless old man thought for a moment and said:

"I can tell you, but you have to tell me, how do you know the bloodthirsty magic?"

Ouyang Zhengxiong looked at the armless old man strangely and said four words:

"Ouyang Zhengxiong!"
