Chapter 523 Opportunity (One quarter of the -word chapter)

Sheng Hongyi had expected the family's change of attitude, but she had never expected the behavior of her master Rong Xiang.

Because of this incident, she began to feel some resentment towards Rong Xiang.

She couldn't understand what the Sheng family was like, even though her master knew everything about them.

When his sister was removed from the family tree, Qi Lang disliked her, saying that as a direct disciple of the Jianying Sect, she did not bring honor to the master and Jianying Peak, and also brought shame to the master because of family affairs.

As the eldest brother and fellow Taoist, he has the responsibility to advise her.

As for the master, he was just perfunctory and didn't even say a word of comfort or concern.

This time, the Sheng family just saw that she had become Huashen's direct disciple from Huashen, so they shamelessly came to get close to her. So why couldn't she refuse?

This time, why didn’t Qi Lang say that this was her “family affair”?

What’s funny is, why did Master and Qi Lang appear again at this time?

He actually stood on the side of the Sheng family and advised her to compromise.

Is she a compromising person?
Naturally not.

That time, she knelt for a long time and couldn't get up. She couldn't contradict her master in person, but she could express her dissatisfaction through actions.

She still remembered that when she lowered her head, she accidentally caught a glimpse of her master's cold eyes out of the corner of her eye.

She couldn't help but shiver. When she recalled it now, she still felt very cold, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

After that, maybe she really angered Rong Xiang and Qi Lang, and she was imprisoned in Siguoya for the first time.

After being imprisoned for half a year, she gritted her teeth and held her breath, refusing to compromise.

Later, she was released.

It was Qi Lang who went to pick her up. Qi Lang only said that his master felt sorry for her suffering in Siguoya.

As naive as she was, she still believed it a little at that time.

After all, at that time, she had not yet fully realized the evil nature of human nature.

But I never thought that if I really wanted to hurt her, would I let her stay in Siguoya for half a year?
Besides, it is true that the sect has the Siguoya, but one will only be caught and put under Siguoya unless he commits a serious mistake that causes the sect to intervene.

How could an ordinary direct disciple be caught and asked to reflect on his mistakes? !

Lord of Heaven and Earth, personal teacher.

For a cultivator, a direct disciple who inherits his mantle is like his own child.

Even if the child made a mistake, it would be fine to just scare him or teach him a lesson behind closed doors. How could it be possible to bring it out into the open and make a big deal out of it, making the whole sect laugh at her?

Even if you really make a big mistake, it will be too late to find ways to cover it up.

Thinking of this, a shadow suddenly flashed through Sheng Hongyi's mind. The shadow was fleeting, and she naturally didn't catch anything.

But it made her stunned for a long time, and she inexplicably had a feeling in her heart that someone had treated her like this before.

Protect her, favor her, and believe in her unconditionally.

Sadly, not here.

After she came out of the rebirth phase, her life seemed to be the same as before.

Rong Xiang and Qi Lang did not mention the previous incident with the Sheng family again.

She never saw anyone from the Sheng family again, and had no desire to ask about them.

They should not appear in front of her and should not disturb each other.

However, as time went by, Sheng Hongyi gradually saw clearly that some things were different.

Although she is naive, she can't stop the rumors outside.

She is neither deaf nor blind. She hears a lot, and what she hears are things that are closely related to her. Anyone who is not stupid will pay attention and think about it.

It was rumored outside that Qi Lang boasted while drunk that Sheng Hongyi was just his cauldron, and if she had not had good aptitude, he would not have allowed her to be his Taoist partner.

Furnace?!
What a horrible word.

She couldn't help but mind.

After this reminder, she suddenly realized what was wrong with herself.

No wonder, after forming the elixir, her cultivation did not improve at all. She even clearly felt that her body was not as strong as before.

Sometimes, she would feel an inexplicable chill, or when practicing, she would feel a surge of blood or a feeling of lack of strength.

While absorbing vast amounts of spiritual energy, she continued to practice diligently as before. However, the spiritual energy that was absorbed into her body disappeared quickly and she could not retain it at all.

She had never been like this before.

Regarding cultivation, Qi Lang was eloquent and deceived her into saying that it was a different method of cultivation. This method focused more on forging the foundation of cultivation, unlike other methods that seek quick success and instant benefits. Just as water drips through a stone, and with a certain period of time, the level of cultivation will be significantly improved.

He also talked about Rong Xiang, saying that this technique was used by Rong Xiang after he formed the elixir.

Sheng Hongyi believed it easily because the dual cultivation method she and Qi Lang practiced was indeed taught by Rong Xiang.

As for other discomforts, they have become a little more frequent recently. Previously, they might only occur once every few months.

She thought she was just a little tired, or her method of cultivation was not right, so she did not take it seriously.

I really didn't expect that these are actually the states of Qi and blood emptiness.

On the other hand, Qi Lang's cultivation level continued to rise. In less than ten years, he had already surpassed the middle stage of the Golden Core.

She actually didn't understand emotions and was focused on cultivation.

She believed that before they became Taoist companions, she and Qi Lang were just ordinary senior and junior brothers and sisters, and nothing beyond the line had happened.

But the news that they were going to become a couple was widely spread outside, and no matter how hard she tried to explain, no one really believed her.

Later, she and Qi Lang achieved the state of Dan one after another. Her master mentioned it to her and invited her parents to be witnesses. Qi Lang then sincerely expressed that he would take care of her.

So she agreed without thinking.

At that time, in her opinion, there was no difference between having a Taoist companion and having a senior brother.

Anyway, she will stay in Jianying Peak for the rest of her life and practice here all her life. The same goes for the eldest senior brother. Aren’t they just practicing together?

Probably, that's how it was, one misstep led to eternal regret, and she fell completely into the trap.

After thinking it over again and again, she couldn't calm down for a long time.

So she began to investigate the matter secretly.

However, she had no one under her command, no family to rely on, and had been in Jianying Peak for many years without any friends. How could she conduct an investigation quietly?

She worked on and off, carefully and cautiously, and finally, after spending nearly twenty years, she finally found something.

It turned out that the Shuangxiu technique that she and Qi Lang practiced was essentially a method of replenishing yin with yang.

And since it was taught by Rong Xiang, it means that the master and disciple conspired to steal her cultivation and qualifications.

This kind of evil skill is certainly not possessed by the orthodox Taoist sect. It can be traced back to the Demon Realm.

The reason why she was able to find such useful information was that one person played a crucial role.

That person was Ji Mu from Xiushui Peak.

Since she couldn't find any useful clues, she finally had to resort to all means and seek help from underworld organizations.

She spent money to get a mission from Baimenhui.

So she met Ji Mu.

At first, she didn't know who he was.

All she knew was that this person was the one from Baimenhui who would take on her mission.

Later, by chance, she met him at Xuanchen Gate.

A person's aura will not change. No matter how much you try to conceal it, it will be in vain in front of Sheng Hongyi.

Sheng Hongyi recognized him.

Perhaps, her expression was too surprised and was discovered by Ji Mu.

Sheng Hongyi didn't know why Ji Mu gave up being the favored son of Xuanchen Sect and chose to be a "killer" or "bounty hunter" of the shady Baimen Society.

She thought it might have something to do with the rumors about Xiushui Peak.

However, she just thought about it in her mind.

She knew her limits and never broke them.

Although she had been worried since she knew Ji Mu's identity, fearing that he would kill her to silence her, she gritted her teeth and did not reveal any secrets to Ji Mu.

Even though she knew that Qi Lang particularly hated Ji Mu, and Jianying Peak was also hostile to Xiushui Peak.

But that's not her.

Although she has never had any experience outside and has been well protected since childhood, she has a simple sense of right and wrong.

There are things you should and shouldn’t do in everything.

Ji Mu had no grudge against her and even helped her, even though she paid for it.

However, there are too many unresolved tasks on the Baimen Society's list, and some things cannot be solved by simply paying for spirit stones.

In this situation, not only is she ungrateful, but she is also repaying kindness with enmity?
Perhaps it was because of her knowledge and interests, or perhaps it was her pity that aroused Ji Mu's sympathy.

After that, Ji Mu occasionally interacted with her and even took the initiative to help her.

For example, giving her guidance on her cultivation.

In his words, he couldn't bear to see her good talent go to waste.

Since she was from Xuanchen Sect, she was also his junior sister, so he could give her some pointers, which was just a piece of cake. For example, he helped her find the secret medicine.

This secret medicine can conceal the true condition of her body, making her body look increasingly weak and deficient.

However, Ji Muyou reminded her that all medicines are poisonous and should be used with caution.

Besides, her body was already depleted. If she didn't replenish her vitality as soon as possible, this medicine would be in vain.

Fortunately, fate did not make her too miserable after all.

When she was at the end of her rope, not only Ji Mu came along, but soon her sister also got in touch with her.

Concubine Sheng Yu was in the Demon City. She didn't talk much about her own affairs, but from just a few words, Sheng Hongyi knew that she seemed to have a child.

She contacted Sheng Hongyi privately, and after discovering her situation, she found many elixirs to make up for her loss.

As for Concubine Sheng Yu, she has already said that the only connection between her and Baixia City is Sheng Hongyi.

Sheng Hongyi also kept her sister's secret tightly.

For Sheng Hongyi, it doesn’t matter where her sister is. As long as she is alive, she is her only relative.

Concubine Sheng Yu did ask for Sheng Hongyi's opinion, and the implication was very clear: if Sheng Hongyi wanted to get rid of Qi Lang, she, Sheng Yufei, could do it for her.

But Sheng Hongyi did not choose this path in the end.

Her target is not just Qi Lang.

No one can replace her and understand her hatred.

She chose to do it herself.

In the following hundred years, her cultivation seemed to have made no progress at all.

Qi Lang's cultivation has gradually reached the late stage of Golden Core.

This is also the result of Sheng Hongyi's control.

Otherwise, Qi Lang would have been in the middle stage of the Golden Core stage less than ten years after they became Taoist companions. She might have been sucked dry by now, and Qi Lang would have been a Nascent Soul cultivator!

She knew very well that she was not fully grown and could not deal with two powerful enemies, Qi Lang and Rong Xiang.

When you are weak, all you can do is endure.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

Fortunately, Rong Xiang no longer often stays in Jianying Peak after he became a god.

Even after coming back, he often went into seclusion.

This gave Sheng Hongyi the opportunity to practice in private and strengthen himself.

As for Qi Lang, without Rong Xiang's protection, the smooth and unregulated life in recent years has made him even more arrogant and conceited.

He was addicted to a life of debauchery. In his eyes, Sheng Hongyi was just a useless thing that was tasteless to eat and not ready to be discarded. How could he care about her?
And this was exactly what Sheng Hongyi wanted.

Finally, their wolfish ambitions became increasingly exposed.

Perhaps because he realized that he could no longer get any benefit from her, Qi Lang treated her worse and worse, beating and scolding her at every turn. At the same time, he became more and more rampant, and had affairs with other women outside without any scruples.

The reason why Sheng Hongyi went to the Cliff of Repentance this time was nominally because she had discovered Qi Lang's romantic affair, but she knew in her heart that was not the case.

She had long stopped caring about Qi Lang, so how could she care about his romantic affairs?

She was just looking for an opportunity to find a secluded place and intensify her practice.

However, Sheng Hongyi felt that she was unique in Xuanchen Sect in that she could think over matters between fellow Taoists.

Sheng Hongyi narrowed her eyes.

For her, Siguoya is a good and safe place.

It was enough for her to stay here and quietly think about how to proceed on the road of revenge.

It took her more than a hundred years to wake up, so she is not unprepared. You have been unkind to me, so don't blame her for being unjust to them.

Sheng Hongyi almost forgot that she was a little troublemaker when she was a child. No one in the Sheng family or outside was her match.

How come, after all these years at Jianying Peak, she almost forgot the pleasure she once had? !
Thinking of this, she seemed to feel that the dark shadow that had been lingering in her heart for who knows how long was quickly dissipating.

She suddenly remembered that there were many fellow disciples in Xuanchen Sect who could "tame" spirit beasts.

A spiritual beast is a demon beast. The nobler its bloodline, the more difficult it is for humans to use it.

Therefore, it is necessary to tame it, lock it up, starve it, and occasionally give it some sweet treats to lure it, until its will and spirit are worn out, and then a new spirit of "obedience" is instilled into it...

She felt that Rong Xiang and Qi Lang were using this method to "tame" her.

Unfortunately, the disguise was not good enough, especially Qi Lang, who was too impatient.

Now, Sheng Hongyi knew that there was no need to endure any more, because she had a feeling that the opportunity seemed to have come.

A while ago, Rong Xiang came back from outside and went into seclusion.

It is common for him to go into seclusion.

However, something was wrong with this retreat.

Jianying Peak was under martial law, Qi Lang looked heavy-faced and in a very bad mood.

People outside say that Rong Xiang was seriously injured!
The strange thing is that these are just rumors, but the Xuanchen Sect has not made any move.

Normally, if a Divine Transformation cultivator was injured, it would be impossible for the sect to completely ignore the situation.

In the past, whenever there was any movement at Jianying Peak, such as Rong Xiang coming out of seclusion, the head disciple of Zhengyi Peak, Ling Yue, would at least come to visit and inquire in person.

But this time, everything changed.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

She recalled the time she ran into Ji Mu a few days ago, when Ji Mu hesitated to speak, and his last reminder:
Be careful!

I remembered what my senior sister said today, Rong Xiang was seriously injured...

She closed her eyes and quietly pondered over every clue.

She had a feeling this was her only chance.

Since it was her chance, she had to seize it.

Thanks to Qi Lang's impatience, in addition to the senior sister from Jianying Peak, the crazy playboys from other peaks in the sect who were chasing after him would also come to find her.

She probably knew that Qi Lang had deliberately instigated this so that those women could humiliate her and vent their dislike and hatred for her.

However, it made it easier for her to collect information invisibly.

The calmer she was, the clearer her consciousness became.

Those useful clues, bit by bit, were like shells, buried deep in the sand.

She picked them up slowly, trying to piece them together into their original appearance according to a certain pattern.

More than a hundred years ago, Rong Xiang had connections with the Demon Realm, otherwise he would not have been able to get those things from the Demon Realm.

Because of the evil skill of taking yin to replenish yang, Sheng Hongyi learned more about the Demon Realm.

She was born with extraordinary five senses, and she discovered that Rong Xiang was always tinged with the aura of the demonic realm.

This also includes Qi Lang. Compared to Rong Xiang's restrained appearance, Qi Lang's demonic aura is more obvious.

She knew that Qi Lang must have used a treasure to conceal his breath.

But, it's useless to her!

Since she met Ji Mu, she found opportunities to recognize her own qualifications with Ji Mu's help.

Unexpectedly, she actually had a similar spirit-friendly physique as Ji Mu.

Who is Ji Mu? He is a child of destiny. Even though he had exiled himself for a period of time, when he came back, he was still a leader among his peers.

But she was hidden and overwhelmed by the insatiable Rong Xiang and Qi Lang.

She remembered all these grudges.

Not a single one of it will be forgotten.

She knew that Rong Xiang was colluding with the Demon Realm, so how could Ji Mu not know it?

He is an upright person. He believes that Taoism and evil cannot coexist. Rong Xiang, as a person of high status in the sect, is involved in the evil way, which is a heinous crime.

In particular, in recent years, the demon clan has been in turmoil, creating evil techniques such as the technique of seizing spiritual roots to harm people, which has aroused the indignation of Taoists all over the world, and frictions have occurred between Taoists and demons several times.

Following this trend, perhaps the ultimate battle between Taoism and Demons that will sweep across the entire wasteland continent is not far away!
It would have been fine if Ji Mu didn’t return to the sect, but he did.

In this regard, it is impossible that the sect is unaware of Rong Xiang's situation.

However, why did the sect take so long to capture Rong Xiang and Qi Lang? Sheng Hongyi felt that they must be plotting something big.

Cast a long line and catch big fish.

There must be some big fish behind this.

What kind of big fish is it? It should be some powerful figure in the Demon Realm.

After thinking about it this way, Sheng Hongyi seemed to feel that the clues looked more and more pleasing to the eye and clearer.

Sheng Hongyi suddenly remembered Rong Xiang's sudden transformation into a god.

Although Rong Xiang had a high status in the sect before he became a spirit, that was mostly due to the fame of his master.

Jinxiao Yuanjun of Jianying Peak has not been in the sect for a long time. Rongxiang was born in a humble family and was almost raised by Jinxiao Yuanjun without any master to guide him. Therefore, his cultivation has been stuck at the Nascent Soul stage and has made no progress.

However, due to his reputation as Jinxiao Yuanjun, he has a unique and lofty status in the sect.

How come he suddenly became a god without any warning?!
There is a bug in the previous chapter. Rong Xiang Hua Shen should be after Sheng Hongyi has formed the elixir, not after building the foundation. The author has changed it. Hahahaha. This scene corresponds to the life that Sheng Lingbo recalled. This article is in the final stage~ It is expected to be completed in late November or early December. The author is working hard to fill in the gaps, and will also work hard to pay off the previous debts~
