She is Jianxiu
Chapter 1426, Section 58: Exploring Hidden Love and Waiting for the Rabbit to Fall into the Trap
When Wang Yuexun encountered Zhao Chun, she was already heartbroken. Seeing that the person in front of her remained silent and only lowered his eyes to examine the object in her hand, her heart skipped a beat and she secretly cried out that something was wrong.
She didn't know the origin or details of this thing. When Wang Fengyan handed it to her, he was very secretive about it and didn't say a word more.
Judging from Zhao Chun's eyes now, she doesn't seem to be completely unaware of this cauldron.
Wang Yuexun secretly grumbled to herself, but then wondered if the item in her hand was a treasure that Elder Fengyan had stolen from the sect back then. As a direct disciple of the Void Realm, Zhao Chun had always held a superior position in the Zhaoyan Sect, so it was only natural that she would recognize it if it belonged to the sect.
While she was pondering this in secret, Zhao Chun had already taken two steps into the palace. She reached out and grasped at the air, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace that Wang Yuexun was holding immediately flew forward as if summoned, landing steadily in Zhao Chun's hand.
"Where did you get this?"
She didn't say much, but took the cauldron in her hand, glanced at it twice, and then put it into her sleeve. Then, with a flick of her finger, a wisp of true essence entered Wang Yuexun's celestial spirit, locking down all the acupoints and dantian foundation of her body.
Having lost her magic power, Wang Yuexun felt her breathing become sluggish. Faced with Zhao Chun's interrogation, she clenched her teeth and refused to speak.
Zhao Chun remained calm and composed, saying, "You think you can escape by using another clone after I destroy this body? With your limited cultivation, if I take your primordial spirit and have the sect members use soul-searching techniques, I can make you reveal the truth. Don't even think about hiding the whereabouts of Wang Fengyan."
Zhao Chun's tone remained calm, but Wang Yuexun felt a chill run down her spine. She closed her eyes briefly before saying, "I know you are about to achieve the Great Dao and are no longer the same person you were before. I never thought I could escape from your sword today. But Elder Fengyan... after all these years, the sect must know where we are. The fact that they have allowed us to survive until now means that even a powerful sect like Zhaoyan has things it cannot accomplish."
"If that's the case, why should I be afraid of you knowing Elder Fengyan's whereabouts?"
Seeing that she was going to continue to put on a brave face, Zhao Chun did not intend to continue on this matter, but whispered, "In that case, after you two escaped back then, you were indeed protected by Taiyuan. And at that time, Wang Fengyan, a cultivator at the Divine Realm, was able to escape the encirclement and suppression of the elders, which must have been done with the help of a rare artifact."
She chuckled softly, her gaze flashing like lightning as she looked at Wang Yuexun, and said, "She was able to escape the sect by borrowing the Heaven and Earth Furnace back then. Now that her true form is gone, she has entrusted this item to you. I'm afraid she can't even protect herself."
Wang Yuexun's shoulders trembled. She had been tricked into revealing the truth and could only glare at Zhao Chun with resentment.
The latter remained unmoved, shifting his gaze to survey the palace and temple. After a moment, he said, "Having come this far, you've probably already considered some things. Indeed, the Taiyuan Daoist sect has gone to great lengths, plotting to monopolize the East Sea, all for this one site. Now that you two are involved, you will perish either at the hands of Zhaoyan or at the hands of Taiyuan."
"As for me, I know more about the origin of this site than you do. Even without your help, I am confident that I can decipher its mysteries. It's just a matter of spending more time here."
"Why did Wang Fengyan bring you here? If you are willing to tell the truth, I will only sever your physical body and spare your soul. If you are not willing, I will do as I said before and ask the elders of the sect to come and search your soul."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuexun lowered her head helplessly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Is this true?"
Zhao Chun chuckled and said, "Given your current situation, is it worth me racking my brains to deceive you? If it weren't for our past camaraderie as fellow disciples, I would have taken your life long ago."
Wang Yuexun remained silent for a long time, then suddenly closed her eyes and sighed, "I will take your word for it, but after it's done, you must release my primordial spirit. Whether it's reincarnation or possession, it's all up to me."
Having said that, without waiting for Zhao Chun's agreement, he continued, "You guessed right. The Taiyuan Dao Sect does indeed want to get rid of Elder Fengyan and me. However, this plan didn't just start recently; it's been going on for a while. I'm just a nobody, and I don't know what Elder Fengyan said to that powerful figure Kuangming from Taiyuan. I only know that after that, we were taken to the East Sea by him, and our every word and action is being watched."
“A few months ago, I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I went to visit Elder Fengyan. Unexpectedly, she pulled me into her room and said that Taiyuan would kill her in half a year. She also gave me the Heaven and Earth Furnace that you mentioned and told me to come here according to the map she gave me. She said that there was another creation exactly the same as this Heaven and Earth Furnace under the old site. When that time comes, people from Taiyuan Sect will come to open the cauldron. She will try to create chaos so that the two of us can escape in the chaos.”
Within the ruins of Zhou Yuan Array Sect, there is also a Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Zhao Chun's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but ask, "Has Wang Fengyan told you about the origin of this site?"
Old site, old site, where there is old, there will be new. Wang Fengyan said this place is an old site. Could it be that Zhou Yuanzhen Sect has another mountain gate?
This made Wang Yuexun hesitate for a moment before saying, "No, Elder Fengyan cannot confirm the origin of this old site. However, judging from her dealings with that powerful Kuangming, this old site seems to have some connection with Taiyuan. But we have never heard of this sect having a history of relocating its mountain gate."
Zhao Chun then fell silent, pondering inwardly. Zhou Yuan, Tai Yuan…
So, there is indeed a Zhou clan among the six clans of Taiyuan, but judging from her fight with Zhou Qinhe, the disciples of this clan do not seem to be array cultivators, so she has never made that connection.
"Wang Fengyan is a cautious person. She must have made this guess in a place I don't know about, and I can believe her to some extent for now." Zhao Chun pondered to herself, and her doubts gradually subsided.
He then said to Wang Yuexun, "You should calculate how long it is until the day the cauldron is opened."
As the ruins of the Zhou Yuan Array Sect, this secluded area is so vast that even with Zhao Chun's best efforts, it would take three to five months to thoroughly search it. Not to mention, the Array Sect is rich in various forbidden arrays. Even with Zhao Chun here, he has to worry that his large-scale activities might suddenly trigger an array and attract the people of Taiyuan.
Therefore, we might as well wait until the day the cauldron is opened, hide in the furnace of heaven and earth, and wait for the right opportunity to act!
Wang Yuexun remained silent, but instead stretched out her hand to calculate for a moment, and then said, "Exactly two months from now, it will be the day when the people of Taiyuan come to open the cauldron."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chun understood the situation perfectly. He then waved his hand and tucked Wang Yuexun into his sleeve. He then smiled coldly, clearly seeing through the man's scheme.
Wang Yuexun's twin sister, Wang Fuxun, was instructed by Changwu Wangshi to plot against her, but ultimately died at her hands. The two were twins born of the same mother and shared a deep bond; Wang Yuexun likely harbored deep hatred for her true murderer. And how could a former genius disciple of Changwu Wangshi be someone who feared death? It's clear that all her current actions were merely a pretense, an attempt to lure her into Taiyuan's trap, a ploy to kill her.
Therefore, Wang Yuexun wished she could reveal more information so that she could keep Zhao Chun firmly in place and wait for the day of Qiding to expose her to the world.
Even if they perish together at that time, they will have finally avenged their great grudge.
However, Wang Yuexun was overthinking this. Zhao Chun had come here to investigate Taiyuan's plans. Even if she hadn't met her today, she would have found another way to explore this place. In this way, two months later, when the people of Taiyuan went here to activate the Heaven and Earth Furnace, she would still be able to learn the secrets of the Zhouyuan Array Sect.
The only difference is that knowing about this in advance will make it easier for Zhao Chun to make backup plans.
Upon learning this, Zhao Chun was surprised and couldn't help but feel grateful. She smiled contentedly, then found a place in the temple, sat cross-legged, and meditated, waiting for the day the cauldron would be opened.
On the East China Sea, on several huge islands that had been occupied by Taiyuan, a young Taoist priest frowned, looking troubled.
Those around him, seeing his condition, couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Huang, what's wrong? You look so pale."
Hearing these words of concern, the young man called Junior Brother Huang became even more distressed and sighed, "Senior Brother Ren, you don't know, I was instructed by our master to keep a close watch on the remnants of the Changwu Wang clan who escaped from Zhao Yan's hands years ago. But a few months ago, that little yellow-haired girl under Wang Fengyan's command escaped."
“I was afraid of being scolded by my master, so I sent three more disciples out to sea to kill her and get rid of her. But I didn’t expect that all three disciples died out there, while the fate of that yellow-haired girl is unknown.”
Zuo Hongcan was already somewhat displeased with the earlier delay in reporting Zhao Chun's departure to sea, and if he were to learn that Wang Yuexun had escaped, his crime would be much greater.
Junior Brother Huang was worried, but Senior Brother Ren waved his hand and said with a smile, "I thought it was something important, but it turns out it's just that an external disciple has run away. Junior Brother Huang, what does it matter if she's dead? Anyway, the most important thing now is to prepare for the Qiding. When Wang Fengyan dies, our master will have accomplished his mission. Why would he care about the life or death of an external disciple?"
"Sigh, that makes sense." Junior Brother Huang still frowned, and could only console himself with this thought.
Then, Senior Brother Ren turned his gaze to several figures standing outside the hall, pointed out one of them, and said, "Bai Yi, come forward."
A moment later, a slender woman entered. Senior Brother Ren pointed at her and said, "This disciple of mine is quite capable. Let her go out and look for that disciple. If she encounters him, kill him for you, Junior Brother." (End of Chapter)
