Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 192 Ling Kongzi Returns Late at Night

Wuzhan saw Bai Haotian's teeth were clenched, and the sword light trembled slightly. He said calmly: "Big Brother, do you really think I am the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity?"

Bai Haotian said coldly: "This is exactly your insidiousness. You are hypocritically letting us go and making us grateful to you."

Wuzhan smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that the eldest brother is such a person who can't tell right from wrong. Think about it carefully. If I had conspired with him to kill Master, why would I be forced by him to hide under the cliff and hand over the evil-avoiding stone only when he wanted to kill you? Is it necessary for me to do this?"

Bai Haotian recalled the situation at that time. Wuzhan did not seem to be in collusion with Qingyang, but the whole world was spreading the news that Wuzhan broke the magic circle and prevented Duke Jing of Zhou from destroying the tyrannical Qin Dynasty. He was in cahoots with Xiandaoyuan, helping Zhou to commit atrocities and oppressing the people of the world. If they were not in collusion, how could they come together? "You can't judge a person's heart by his face. There is nothing a cruel person like you can't do!"

Wuzhan said: "Big Brother must have heard rumors from the outside world and suspected that I killed Master, so he came to seek revenge on me. However, rumors from the outside world may not be true. Many things have changed beyond recognition, or even made up. You need to judge with your heart. I did join the Xiandao Academy, but my purpose was to take back the Five-Colored Stone and fulfill Master's last wish. I gave away the Five-Colored Stone because I saved you. Did Big Brother forget?"

How could Bai Haotian forget that Wuzhan saved them again? He slowly retracted his sword and said, "If I find out that you lied to me, I will never forgive you!"

Wuzhan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Immortal Dao Academy is very powerful and has many experts. If they want to take back the Five Color Stone, I can only get close to them and deal with them if I become an official in the court. Qingyang killed my parents, brother, and master, so how can I let him go?"

Bai Haotian said: "I came to Xianyang to kill him, but all I heard along the way was about your evil deeds. I was confused for a moment and didn't know right from wrong. I almost killed you. Please forgive me, Junior Brother."

"Big brother, you don't have to blame yourself for not knowing the truth. I am very happy to see you, and I will tell you what my master told me before he died." Then he narrated Bai Haotian's life experience and how his family was mistakenly killed by Xuan Qing and others.

After hearing this, Bai Haotian remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that I was the descendant of that murderous devil. I guess the person who spread the false news must have hated Bai Qi so much that he invited the cultivators to kill my whole family. This may be retribution!"

Wuzhan knew that Bai Qi was a ruthless murderer in the hearts of the people all over the world. Although he was a famous general, he was notorious. Bai Haotian called him by his name, which showed how deep his hatred for Bai Qi was.

Wuzhan said: "Master has regretted his whole life. I hope that Senior Brother will forgive him for raising you!"

Bai Haotian sighed: "In fact, I have already figured it out. What can I do if I don't forgive him? He is already dead."

"Is Junior Sister okay now?"

"It's impossible for me to be with her."

"Doesn't the eldest brother have a little sister in his heart?"

"What can I do? Although I have forgiven Master, this is a revenge for the extermination of my entire family. If I stay with her, how can I be worthy of those who died?"

"Is Junior Sister guilty?"

"She is not guilty at all."

Wuzhan advised: "Since you have Junior Sister in your heart and she is innocent, why should you care about worldly views and go against your feelings? Although you cannot choose your life experience, you can choose your destiny."

Bai Haotian thought for a moment and changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this. Let me ask you, when are you going to kill Qingyang? I'll go with you."

Wuzhan said: "Now the Five-Colored Stone is in my hands. I think I will go to Changping in a few days. He will lead the way at that time. After I subdue the wronged souls there, Xiandao Academy will probably get rid of me. If the eldest brother wants to help me, he can secretly follow us and look for an opportunity to see if he can kill him first."

Bai Haotian said, "Okay, it's settled. I will temporarily stay at the Xiangtai Inn in the south of the city. Send someone to notify me before you leave."

Wuzhan smiled and said, "Since you are in Xianyang, do you still need to stay at an inn? Just stay at my place. It will be convenient for us to discuss things. And I need to give you Master's "Yunyun Health Preservation Secret"."

Bai Haotian said: "Master passed it to you, you can't give it to me!"

"Master, how could you not know Junior Sister's intention? I had intended to pass it on to you a long time ago, but the situation was urgent. I was afraid that Qingyang would get it, so I wrote it down and burned it. I will write it to Senior Brother now. You can practice with me in the next few days." As he said this, he went to the study, wrote the contents of "Yunyun Health Preservation Secret" on a piece of silk, and handed it to Bai Haotian who was still hesitating. Bai Haotian held the silk in his hand and said a little excitedly: "Master, do you really think so?"

Wuzhan smiled and said, "If the master didn't want to pass it on to you, he would have intervened long ago when he saw you and Junior Sister flirting. If you don't practice, this spell will be lost. Besides, it's difficult to kill Qingyang with your current level of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Bai Haotian had no choice but to accept the spell. He was moved. Wuzhan went out to wake up Suqi and others, and ordered them to prepare a room for Bai Haotian to stay in.

When Bai Haotian went to rest, it was already late at night. He had no sleep and just lay on the bed, staring at the silver-grey moonlight coming in from the window without blinking.

……

"Little Master, come out quickly!" A shout broke the silence of the cold night. Wuzhan suddenly sat up from the bed and rushed out of the house without even wearing shoes, because it was Lingkongzi's voice. He had been waiting for him to come back for a month and even began to be afraid.

Under the waning moon, Lingkong Ziping spread his wings and slowly landed in the courtyard, holding in his arms Wanjiao, the person Wuzhe cared about day and night.

"Wanjiao!" Wuzhan shouted and rushed to Lingkongzi. Wanjiao was wrapped in a snow leopard skin, her beautiful eyes were closed, and her beautiful face was frostbitten in many places, but she was smiling.

Wuzhan reached out his trembling hand to touch Wanjiao's bruised wrist. Fortunately, there was a weak pulse. He hurriedly said, "Hurry up and carry her into the house!" At this time, Jin Xingzi, Bai Haotian, Su Qi and others had been awakened and rushed over.

Ling Kongzi carried Wan Jiao into the barrier-free bedroom and put her on the bed. "When I found the little master's wife, she fainted as soon as she saw me. I rushed to her day and night for seven days and only fed her a little animal milk. Little master, please find a way to save the little master's wife."

Jin Xingzi said, "Nonsense, can't the young master think of a way to save the young master's wife?"

Wuzhan ordered everyone else to go out, leaving Suqi alone to serve. He took off her blood-stained clothes to check her injuries. Her delicate body was covered in sword wounds in many places, her ribs were broken, and her internal organs were seriously damaged. Wuzhan felt distressed, knowing that Wanjiao must have been in a life-and-death struggle to be like this. He hurriedly wrote down a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs for restoring vitality, healing injuries, and replenishing blood. He ordered Jinxingzi to get the medicine even if he had to overturn all the pharmacies in the city. He then went to the study to take out the remaining small piece of thousand-year-old snow ginseng and ordered Suyan to boil it.

After Wanjiao drank the ginseng soup, her breathing gradually stabilized. Wuzhe felt relieved. He then personally boiled some of the herbs that Jin Xingzi had brought, and ordered Suyun and Suqin to grind the rest into ointment to apply on Wanjiao's wound.

When Wuzhan handed the boiled medicine soup to Suqi, the golden sunlight had already shone into the house. Suqi fed the still unconscious Wanjiao one spoonful at a time. Although her body was exhausted, her heavy heart felt much lighter.

While the medicine was being boiled, Lingkongzi had already reported to Wuzhan. After handing the letter to his disciples in Mount Emei, he rushed to the uninhabited Kunlun Mountains, flying back and forth between the thousands of snow-capped peaks to search. It was freezing cold there, and the air was thin. For nearly twenty days, he couldn't find even a single person. He could only see wild beasts such as snow wolves and snow leopards. When he was about to give up, he found three people at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. Those three people were wearing fox fur coats and walking on the snow as if they were flat ground. It was obvious that they had good cultivation. They seemed to be tracking footprints on the snow, and they would disperse to search from time to time. Lingkongzi suspected that they were disciples of Kunlun Mountains, so he followed this group of people.

After following for several miles, the three men stopped in front of a snow cliff, drew their swords, dispersed, and cautiously approached the snow cliff. When they walked to the foot of the cliff, they used their swords to stab the snow slope below the cliff at regular intervals. Just when one of them was about to stab a concave snow slope, a figure leaped up from there and stretched out its sharp claws to grab that person.

Ling Kongzi was overjoyed when he saw that this person was none other than the young master's wife that his young master had asked him to find. He quickly spread his wings, flew up from a distance, and rushed forward to rescue her.

At that time, the man who stabbed Wanjiao turned the sword to block Wanjiao's claws. The sword flashed, and the long sword stabbed Wanjiao's chest. Wanjiao's body was on the side, and the man kicked Wanjiao in the lower abdomen. Wanjiao screamed in pain and flew several feet away. The other two people waved their long swords at the same time and killed her.

Wanjiao gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot, and rolled on the ground to avoid the attack, then turned around and ran away, but she was seriously injured and the three men were not simple in cultivation. Before she had run a few steps, the man who had come before her swung his sword and stabbed her in the back.

Wanjiao had no choice but to turn around to avoid the sword, and the other two swords also followed and chopped towards Wanjiao. At this time, Lingkongzi's Qi sword had already reached behind the two people. The two people heard the sound of breaking air and turned around to block.

"Bang! Bang!" The two men were caught off guard and tried to block the attack hastily. Their swords were knocked down by the Qi sword. Ling Kongzi took advantage of the three men's daze and flew over their heads. He picked up the fallen Wan Jiao and flew high.

When Wanjiao saw Lingkongzi, she fainted immediately. The three men ran on the snow, cursing, and chased them for more than a mile. Lingkongzi finally left them far behind. He carried Wanjiao and flew day and night to Xianyang. He only stopped to kill some wild animals to satisfy his hunger and take a rest when he was hungry.

……

Wuzhan looked at Wanjiao quietly, his heart broken. In order to save him, she ran around, went through life and death, and was seriously injured. Now in this world, she was the only one who did not give up and treated him the best. If he could survive, he would never let her down for her love for him. But, could he survive?
Another day passed, and Wanjiao still didn't wake up. Wuzhan stayed by Wanjiao's bedside the whole time, and gradually became worried. If she didn't wake up for a long time, even if she woke up, she might have lost her memory.
