"Cheng Lingshuang!")i Lingqi Ba-a Siqishi (five) has already
"Alright, Third Junior Sister, Fifth Junior Sister. Master is coming to kill us now. Are we still going to fight among ourselves?"
Su Mei interrupted.
"But I'm still a little curious. Junior Sister, you actually accepted a Rakshasa as your disciple... And could he have become a sword god? He actually uses a candle as a weapon."
"And if I'm not mistaken, this candle is a gift from me to Senior Sister, right?"
Chapter 29 The Mystery of the Burning Manor
Can you recognize what a candle looks like?
Aren't candles just sticks?
"Oh, yes, I picked it up from somewhere on the way up here because I was really concerned about something."
Despite his thoughts, Kainuo nodded.
"Because I'm quite curious. After all, Master told me what you guys wanted to do. And then I saw the Taixu Sword Sect's disciples setting up the sect, so I was a little curious about what they were planning to do."
"Then……"
As he spoke, Kainuo used both hands to break the candle, revealing the black gunpowder inside.
"Gunpowder?! Su Mei, what on earth do you want to do?"
Lin Chaoyu glanced at the candle in Kainuo's hand, surprise and anger flashed across his face one after another, and he looked at Su Mei hatefully.
"You've offended me repeatedly, but I haven't taken the initiative to cause trouble for you. I'll give you my Taixu Sword Sect if you want it, but is this the solution you're talking about? Do you really want to destroy my Taixu Sword Sect?!"
"That's right. With this kind of gunpowder, it can probably only destroy the Taixu Sword Sect. It poses no threat to the immortals at all."
Kainuo continued to add fuel to the fire.
Su Mei narrowed her eyes, looked at Kainuo again, sighed slightly, then turned to look at Lin Chaoyu.
"So, Senior Sister, it's not appropriate to tell you now."
"This situation is different from the one we used to secretly attack Master on Mount Taixu. We're all scattered across the land, and reuniting again is bound to attract attention. And although Master hasn't been seen in years, many of those who saw him back then are still alive, and there are still many records describing his appearance."
"Then if the world knew that the immortal had returned to the world, but disappeared again after meeting with her disciples, how would we explain it to them? Besides, who would believe that Master had ascended to heaven?"
"This time is different from when we attacked Master in Taixu Mountain. Many people's attention will be focused on this. Even if Master returns weakened, we can't kill him without making a sound. So, we can only create more chaos to attract attention."
Lin Chaoyu frowned, "But even so..."
"Even so, why did they have to destroy the Taixu Sword Party?"
Su Meiyiqi stayed in Yiyi.
"Sister, Senior Sister, apart from your Taixu Sword Sect, is there any other place that is so prosperous that if it is destroyed, it will not only attract attention but also prevent me from being implicated afterwards? Destroying the Taixu Sword Sect is just a gesture for the two of us, but if we destroy other places..."
"Of course, if you're reluctant, I'll have the decorations removed. Of course, if we kill Master again, you'd better be prepared to be scorned."
"I don't care. It doesn't matter to me if Wushuangmen is gone. But you, Senior Sister..."
"Okay, no need to say more, I understand."
Lin Chaoyu said in a deep voice.
"What a shame. I'll just keep this from you, Senior Sister, for now. When we face Master, Senior Sister, whose Sword Heart is not at the highest level, you will inevitably be distracted by the Taixu Sword Sect, which will reduce our chances of survival."
As she spoke, Su Mei looked at Kainuo with some resentment.
"If it succeeds, it will naturally be a good thing. At most, a few poor Taixu disciples who secretly came to the mountaintop to see the immortal and were unable to escape the sea of fire will die."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if we fail. Once the Taixu Sword Sect is destroyed, we'll have a natural burial ground. Senior Sister, your disciples can also quickly escape due to the sudden explosion, thus avoiding the possibility of being killed and burned by the master."
Lin Chaoyu subconsciously looked at Li Suchang.
Upon hearing this, Li Sushang's hand holding the Xuanyuan Sword trembled slightly.
"Killing people and burning mountains is not Master's style."
Cheng Lingshuang suddenly spoke.
Su Mei smiled and said, "Oh, that's not Master's style, but Junior Sister, this is the truth. Sister Su Yi..."
"Old Six told me that he could only find out that Master had appeared near Yixin Villa. Yixin Villa was destroyed, and no one saw it. It was definitely Master who did it."
Cheng Lingshuang interrupted Su Mei.
Hearing this, Kainuo looked towards his master.
Any normal person would think that this was the revenge of an immortal. Could there be some hidden secret?
"Master has taught us over the years, and you must be familiar with her style. Aside from the time when the Rakshasa Nation attacked Shenzhou, Master has only killed those who have been possessed by demons. No matter who has offended Master, she has never taken action."
Having said that, Cheng Lingshuang looked at Lin Chaoyu.
"Senior Sister, you have been going down the mountain with Master for many years, so you should know this best."
Lin Chaoyu nodded subconsciously.
I do have a say. Having traveled with the immortal to eliminate demons for many years, the immortal has never harmed anyone other than those possessed by demons. On the contrary, she has taken in many children whose parents she killed as her apprentices.
Such a person, if he does not have any mental illness, is someone who does not care about worldly matters and lives only to eliminate demons.
And since he was able to do his best to raise the seven disciples, it was obviously not the former.
"Then what happened to Yixin Villa? Could it be that Sister Suyi committed suicide and burned the villa down?"
Su Mei asked back.
"Besides, no one has ever experienced resurrection from the dead. How can you be sure that the reborn Master will be the same as before?"
"You said that Master only wanted to kill those who were possessed by demons, but is that true? How many people, without any cultivation experience, were innocently possessed by demons? How many people, still rational, were killed by Master? Is it true that those who were possessed by demons must be killed? In the final analysis, Master..."
Hearing this, Kainuo couldn't help but interrupt, "No, then can you give me an example of someone who didn't go crazy after being possessed by a demon? Forget about that purple-haired Jiang Wanru, she was only able to survive because of the immortal's Taixu sword energy, right? Strictly speaking, it's even impossible for her to be possessed by a demon at all."
"And you're pitying the possessed here. Have you found an antidote or something? You can't do anything, what are you talking about?"
After years of training in the Fate of Destiny, Keno was fully aware of what it meant to be eroded by Honkai energy. Because of this, all Fate of Destiny Valkyries were required to undergo the extremely damaging stigmata, leading to a slow and catastrophic death.
Countless Valkyries have sacrificed their lives to fight the Honkai, yet Honkai events continue to occur frequently around the world. Countless people have been torn apart by the Honkai, leaving them homeless and homeless.
Now there is an invincible immortal who is fighting demons everywhere in the land of China, and you, a disciple who killed your master, are here to be pitifully corrupted?
Of course, being infected by the Honkai is a complete tragedy, and while it's certainly pitiful, researchers will desperately develop anti-Honkai drugs, but they will also show no mercy to those affected. After all, if too many people die from Honkai infection in a place, it could lead to an outbreak of Honkai.
At the same time, Cheng Lingshuang also spoke.
"I don't know what exactly happened in Yixin Villa. But if Master really didn't burn Yixin Villa and didn't kill Su Yi, then Master wouldn't have taken action immediately after arriving at Tianqiong Peak. It won't be too late to ask Master then."
After saying that, Cheng Lingshuang looked at Lin Chaoyu.
"Sister, the three of us have been traveling all this way and are exhausted. If possible, please arrange a guest room for us so we can rest for a while."
"When the master comes, just call us over."
Chapter 30: First Encounter with the Immortal
Another five days passed.
Kainuo ate the food delivered to the guest room by the Taixu Sword Sect disciples and thought about what to do next.
If he followed his original plan, he would naturally find a way to reward Li Suchang and kill the other seven disciples at the same time, so as to compensate the immortal a little.
Although it might seem like a bit of a charlatan, this was indeed Kainuo's plan at the time. However, after arriving at the Taixu Sword Sect, what he saw and heard gave him some other ideas.
For example, Cheng Lingshuang's claim that Yixin Villa was not burned down by the master, and that Su Yi was not killed by the master, if this were true, then Kainuo's conflicting stance between immortals and acquaintances would instantly disappear.
If this is true, then Cheng Lingshuang can be saved without killing the immortal, and according to Li Sushang's character, he would not kill the Chiyuan Immortal who is not the direct murderer.
Everyone has a bright future.
Although, putting himself in their shoes, Kainuo felt that it was unlikely that the immortal hadn't killed someone for revenge. But since Cheng Lingshuang had said so with such confidence, there was still a glimmer of hope.
Besides that, there was Su Mei's claim that she had placed gunpowder in the Taixu Sword Sect to conceal her activities. Although her explanation made sense, Kainuo still felt that something was fishy going on.
So Kainuo has not been idle these days. He took the opportunity to wander around Taixu Sword Sect and used the power of the Ruler of Reason to replace all the gunpowder. By then, no matter what Su Mei's purpose is, it won't matter.
If it was really to conceal his tracks, Kainuo could have simply set the fire himself. He would have just slipped away after the job was done, and it wouldn't have mattered to him what the Shenzhou people thought of him.
...But I may not be able to eat such delicious food in the future.
During the few days that Keno stayed here, he never had the same meal twice, and all of them were delicious.
With a sigh, Keno took the last bite of rice, straightened his clothes, and pushed the door open to go out.
Passing through the bustling and noisy residence of the important disciples, Kainuo headed straight towards the gate of Taixu Sword Sect.
The Taixu Sword Sect, or more precisely, Su Mei, had already spread the news of the immortal's arrival, and nearby towns naturally kept an eye out for the immortal's presence. While not as soon as five hundred years later, the immortal's appearance was still known to the public through word of mouth.
She has long light grey hair, a calm face and an ethereal air.
Although the description was vague, it was surprisingly recognizable. Almost as soon as Kainuo and the others entered the Taixu Sword Sect, news of the immortal's presence reached the sect from nearby towns.
For this reason, the Taixu Sword Sect had been bustling with activity for the past five days, with everyone discussing what to do after the Immortal's arrival. While the specifics of the discussions varied slightly, the fact that the Immortal was about to arrive was a sure thing.
The latest news claims that the immortal has arrived near Tianqiong Peak and may arrive at Taixu Sword Sect at any time in the next few days. Kainuo wants to see if he can meet the immortal before the Taixu disciples, so that he can prepare early.
"Good afternoon, uncle."
The Taixu disciples who were older than Kainuo who passed by nodded and greeted Kainuo one by one when they saw him, and Kainuo also nodded in response.
The fact that he was Cheng Lingshuang's disciple had been known to everyone in Taixu Sword Sect for a few days. His status as a direct disciple made him an elder to many people, and they had to say hello whenever they went out.
In the same situation as him was Li Suchang, who always followed him out. It was precisely because of this that the girl, who did not like red tape and inexplicable generational changes, chose to stay in the guest room and not go out.
Thanks to this, otherwise if Li Suchang had followed him out, he really wouldn't have been able to stop the immortal.
"Uncle Master, you are out again, preparing to meet the Immortal."
When they reached the gate, the woman who had welcomed Kainuo and his companions into the Taixu Sword Sect was waiting there to watch over the door.
Women still take on the job of gatekeepers.
"Yes. And if Master Lin hadn't strictly forbidden it, many disciples of the Taixu Sword Sect would have been waiting at the gate to welcome the immortal as before."
Kaino shrugged.
It is not difficult to understand people's admiration for immortals. The legendary immortal, who is immortal and invincible, is about to come near them. Who wouldn't want to see it with their own eyes?
Of course, we don’t know whether the purpose of watching is because the immortal is invincible or because the immortal is immortal.
However, their behavior of blocking the gate every day did cause Kainuo a lot of trouble, so he suggested to Lin Chaoyu that the disciples in the sect be prohibited from approaching the gate.
Outstanding effect.
Don’t be fooled by the group of people who kept calling Keno “Uncle Master” on the way here. They might be cursing him in their hearts.
"To be honest, I never thought that I would actually see the immortal again one day."
The woman next to him continued to chat.
"Again?"
"Yes, I met the immortal once when I was young."
As if she had touched some mechanism, the woman suddenly started talking nonstop.
"Of course, even though I say that, I'm only one year younger. I don't have any memories of ever seeing an immortal. My family told me all that."
Kaino listened silently.
"When I was a kid, our neighborhood was suddenly attacked by a demonic beast. My parents told me they'd never seen a creature so large and terrifying. The giant white beast razed the village with a single wave of its hand, killing countless people. Even the army was helpless."
"It was the arrival of the immortals that ultimately dealt with the giant white beast. My parents said that if the immortals hadn't arrived, our entire family would have died there."
"Originally, I wanted to go to Taixu Mountain to learn martial arts or meet an immortal when I grew up, but who would have thought that the immortal would ascend to heaven so quickly. Since I couldn't meet the immortal, I came to the Taixu Sword Sect to learn martial arts. I'm so lucky to have encountered an immortal descending to earth."
"So you really, really want to see the immortal?"
Kaino asked.
"Of course, it was a life-saving grace! And if the immortal hadn't asked the officers and soldiers to help, even if the white beast died, we would still be homeless."
"Is that so? I'm sorry."
After Kainuo finished speaking, he gently touched the back of the woman's neck before she could react, and the woman immediately fell to the ground.
At the end of the sight, a young-looking woman with simple clothes and long light gray hair was walking slowly towards Tianqiong Peak step by step.
The woman's appearance was indeed outstanding, but what was even more outstanding was her temperament. Although it was his first time meeting her, Kainuo felt as if he had seen an elder he hadn't seen in a long time, and a feeling of respect arose spontaneously.
It's obvious at a glance...
