Fate of the Immortals and Demons

Weiyangzi had no choice but to persuade earnestly:

"But the Fairy Caidie from the Immortal Realm also said that it's impossible for Wei Heizi to easily swear an oath with his Dao Heart over such a small matter. Actually, this is understandable! Everyone knows that Fairy Caidie is very protective of Wei Heizi."

Wei Yunzi stroked his long beard and said comfortingly:

"Brother Weiyaozi, you should also know that Fairy Caidie is from the fairyland, so she didn't see Shouzezi's death at all and didn't take it to heart. Can you really force Fairy Caidie to compromise?"

Wei Yaozi naturally also heard the hidden meaning and implications of the words.

But just because of this, should I give up and avenge my most beloved disciple, Sun Shouzezi?

Wei Yaozi was naturally extremely unwilling to accept this. Even if the Fairy Caidie was really the Xuannv who came from the nine heavens, could she be so disregarding of life, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and shielding a murderer who took human lives without mercy?

Seeing that Wei Yaozi still refused to give up, Wei Xiaozi sighed with grief and indignation:

"Junior Brother Wei Yaozi, I know you had deep feelings for Ze'er. It was my fault for not taking good care of him that Ze'er died. If you really want to avenge Ze'er and relieve the hatred in your heart, then let me bear the responsibility!"

As soon as Wei Xiaozi said this, everyone in the room was shocked, even a fool could hear it.

Wei Xiaozi wants to take the place of the real murderer and pay for Shouzezi's life in order to resolve the hatred in Wei Yaozi's heart.

"Brother Wei Xiaozi, please don't do anything stupid!"

She Guzi's face immediately turned pale, and she turned to Wei Yaozi, who was also shocked, and said:

"Brother Wei Yaozi, do you know why Taoist Xuan Zhen of the Xuantian Sect and Fairy Su Yao of the Yaochi Sect chose to stay at our Shushan Sword Sect? Their purpose is self-evident: it's for the Colorful Butterfly Fairy. If you truly force the Colorful Butterfly Fairy away, not only will you be unable to do anything to Wei Heizi, but you will also allow the Colorful Butterfly Fairy to go to these two sects. Whether this is good or bad for you, and for our Shushan Sword Sect, I don't need to tell you, you should know it best."

"Ugh……"

After all, Wei Yaozi has lived for a long time. After being enlightened by She Gu Zi, he suddenly understood and knew the pros and cons of this matter. Not to mention whether he could do anything to Wei Heizi in the hands of the Colorful Butterfly Fairy?

Just to say that Fairy Caidie really left the Shushan Sword Sect because of me and took Wei Heizi to another sect, not only would I have no hope of revenge, but I would have created a potential enemy for the Shushan Sword Sect.

At least, Fairy Caidie is still in the Shushan Sword Sect, which is also a great support and barrier for the Shushan Sword Sect, so there is no need to worry about being coveted by external enemies.

This is like the most essential difference between having a sword in your hand and not having a sword in your hand.

Wei Yangzi saw that Wei Yaozi's hatred towards Wei Heizi had gradually faded and he had regained his sanity, so he took the opportunity to say:

"Junior Brother Wei Yaozi, didn't you notice the obvious difference in Yao Chi Sect's Su Yao's behavior before and after? Why did she only recognize Wei Heizi afterward? She was so determined to kill him. Her main intention was obviously to force out Junior Brother Wei Heizi and the people who were backing him. Just as Su Yao wished, she successfully forced Fairy Caidie to reveal herself. So, Senior Brother, please don't be deceived by Su Yao, lest you be used by those with ulterior motives."

"Yaozi will remember the teachings of the headmaster."

Although Wei Yaozi knew that this seemed to be an excuse for Wei Heizi, he had to take it seriously.

If this Fairy Su Yao really has other intentions, I can't let my hatred cloud my mind and make things difficult for others.

Seeing that Wei Yaozi finally came to his senses and was no longer blinded by hatred, Wei Yangzi and the others naturally felt relieved.

Just as too much talk leads to mistakes, it can also backfire.

After a few polite greetings and words of comfort, as it was already late at night and they did not want to disturb Wei Yaozi who was recovering from his injuries, Wei Yangzi and the others said goodbye and left.

"Wei Heizi, even if I really can't kill you openly to avenge Ze'er, I will definitely not let you go. Fairy Caidie, since you really want to protect me like this, even though I can't do anything to you, I won't let it go. I will find someone to seek justice for me."

Although Weiyaozi knew that this was not possible, he could not let go of the thought of Shouzezi being brutally murdered, killed by an arrow through the heart. How could he let go of the hatred so easily because of a few words?

However, after being persuaded and enlightened by Wei Yangzi and others, Wei Yaozi, for the sake of the overall situation, naturally would not openly become an enemy of Wei Heizi and seek revenge on him directly.

But secretly, he will definitely find ways and make small moves, just like how Mikuko killed Morizeko.

He did not act blatantly, but instead exonerated himself and found a very reasonable alibi.

Although this alibi was full of doubts, at least on the surface it covered up the suspicion that Wei Heizi was the murderer.

It is precisely because of this clumsy cover-up, like a cat covering its shit, that the two sides avoid an open falling out, and there is still room for maneuvering and easing of tensions.

The next morning, Fairy Su Yao went to visit Wei Yaozi in person under the pretext of visiting and expressing condolences.

After a night of rest and recuperation, Wei Yaozi realized that he was a cultivator after all, and his body was different from that of ordinary people.

Although still ill, he was able to get out of bed and walk. After changing his clothes with the help of a boy, he met with the visiting Fairy Su Yao in the main hall.

After some pleasantries, Fairy Su Yao got back to the point and stated her purpose:

"Fellow Daoist Wei Yaozi, since I, Su Yao, dare to swear on my Daoist heart that Wei Heizi is the murderer of Ling Xuan's disciple, it is naturally not a lie. That day at the Wolf Mountain Monster Stronghold, not only I, but also Daoist Wei Xiaozi and Daoist Xuan Zhen knew that there was a person hiding in this monster stronghold. Based on this, there is no doubt that it was Wei Heizi."

In fact, just from the fact that Heizi never dared to swear with his heart of Taoism, it is enough to infer that he must be guilty.

Of course, Wei Yaozi must have known what happened in the Wolf Mountain Monster Stronghold after personally going there to investigate, otherwise he would never have suspected Wei Heizi.

Now, after hearing Fairy Su Yao's words so confidently, he naturally had no more doubts, but he still asked:

"I just don't know why Fairy Su Yao denied it at first when I asked her, but only after the incident did she become so certain that Wei Heizi was the murderer?"

"It's only because this shameless, ugly pervert dared to use his X-ray vision in public that this Fairy Lady can confirm it so accurately."

Faced with Wei Yaozi's question, Fairy Su Yao had no choice but to grit her teeth and tell the reason.

"So, could it be that Wei Heizi is so audacious that he dared to peek at Fairy Su Yao's body in public through his X-ray vision? He even used vulgar language like 'close it tightly'. No wonder Fairy Su Yao suddenly became furious and wanted to grind Wei Heizi into ashes."

Wei Yaozi only thought about it in his heart and would definitely not say it out loud. And his old eyes unconsciously glanced at the tightly clamped legs of Su Yao, who was sitting below.

However, don't forget that Fairy Su Yao has a telepathic eye. At such a close distance, how could she not see through Wei Yaozi's thoughts? Fortunately, Wei Yaozi was the only one present in the main hall and knew everything.

Otherwise, Fairy Su Yao would definitely not have said this so clearly. However, it can be seen from this that Fairy Su Yao really has a murderous intention towards Wei Heizi and will not stop until he is dead.

However, although Fairy Su Yao noticed Wei Yaozi's unintentional little action, she could only feel embarrassed and annoyed. For the sake of the overall situation, she did not get angry.

Wei Yaozi fell into deep thought for a moment, tapping the sandalwood armchair he was leaning on with his fingers, and then he spoke slowly:

"If that's true, then Wei Heizi has become the common enemy of this old man and Fairy Su Yao. I wonder if Fairy Su Yao has any good plan to deal with him and avenge our previous humiliation."

Fairy Su Yao pondered for a moment before saying:

"There is a way, though. That is to use your sect's treasure hunt trial in the secret realm of Tongxian Pagoda as a pretext to wait for an opportunity to kill this person. In this way, life and death are determined by fate. Even if it is really the Colorful Butterfly Fairy from the fairyland, she will definitely have no choice but to give up."

"Trial? That's certainly a good idea. However, unlocking the secret realm of the Tongxian Pagoda to search for treasure is no simple matter. It seems I have no choice but to ask my uncle Ning Ranzi to help me with justice. And Ning Chenzi, Wei Heizi's master, has not come forward to explain the situation since I reported it to him. He must be trying to cover up for me."

Thinking of this, Weiyaozi had already made up his mind and said to Suyao Fairy:

"Since Fairy Su Yao has already thought of eliminating this person through trials, she must have found a perfect candidate for the job."

Fairy Suyao nodded and said:

"Of course. So, for this trial, I need Fellow Daoist Weiyaozi to strongly persuade Fellow Daoist Weiyangzi to open the door and sincerely invite the disciples of this small world to participate. Then we can secretly recruit people to ensure that there is no risk and eliminate this person."

"Fairy Su Yao is right. Since this person dared to use a demon beast to create an alibi for himself, why not invite the four great demon cities and their outstanding demon geniuses to participate? This would be a grand event and would also sow more uncertainty about Wei Heizi's death."

Wei Yaozi was clearly determined to avenge his grievances, and in order to successfully unlock the secret treasures of the Tongxian Pagoda, he even bypassed Ning Chenzi and personally invited Ning Ranzi to come out of seclusion.

What could be more covert and logical than hiring a killer in a secret realm? Even if the matter was traced back, it would only be Wei Heizi's own short life that would be blamed. If he were in the outside world, with the protection of the Colorful Butterfly Fairy, it would be extremely difficult to kill him.

"That's how it should be."

Fairy Su Yao nodded in agreement, and then discussed in detail the specific implementation guidelines, just to be more sure of getting rid of Wei Heizi. Fairy Su Yao also mentioned the two sisters Xuan Ji and Xuan Yao in particular.
