"Although we were master and disciple in name only, Yu Qiuming never taught me anything, and I never considered him my master. It was only because he had implanted the world's most bizarre Gu, the 'Blood Tide Heart-Eating Gu', in my body that I was forced to obey his orders and travel between the various righteous sects as an undercover agent..."
Chapter 87: Letter from Qingxuan Sect, and Coming Out of Seclusion with Ji Tingxue (Two in One)
As a multifaceted undercover agent of "Blood Kite Selection", Jiang Rao has outstanding professional capabilities.
Especially when it comes to telling stories to people.
now.
She recounted her past experiences in detail. Except for replacing "Blood Kite" with "Yu Qiuming", the rest of the information was basically true.
When she was talking about the excited emotions, Jiang Rao even unbuttoned her clothes, revealing the scars on her body, some new and some old.
"These scars were given to me by that devil. He even intended to do something even worse to Rao'er, but he gave up because Rao'er fought back desperately... If it weren't for the existence of the 'Heart-Eating Gu', Rao'er would have wanted to kill him long ago and rid the world of this evil!"
As the only two female peak masters among the nine peak masters of Tianyuan Sword Sect, Yan Shu has always been soft-hearted. At this moment, she had already burst into tears after hearing this. She couldn't help but hug Jiang Rao in her arms and choked up, "Child, you have suffered so much..."
"I, your teacher, have heard a little about Yu Qiuming. He has committed numerous evil deeds over the past few decades. Even many powerful righteous men have been unable to eliminate him, let alone a weak and helpless child like you... Even if the 'undercover' story is true, these things are definitely not your fault!
"When we return to the mountain gate, I will take you to the headmaster and ask him to exorcise the poisonous insect from your body. Then I will tear that demon into pieces and enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!"
"Master..."
Jiang Rao's throat also trembled a few times and she choked with sobs.
After the master and disciple hugged each other and cried for a while, Yan Shu gradually regained her senses and noticed several suspicious points.
"Rao'er, I don't doubt the truth of what you said, but... if you went to see that devil, why did he let you go back? And what about the people from the Blood Source Sect?"
Jiang Rao was well prepared for these two questions:
"That night, Yu Qiuming appeared and fought with Shao An of the Blood Origin Sect. Although he repelled the latter, he was also injured. Rao'er had previously luckily obtained a rare item called 'Purifying Divine Smoke' from a secret realm, which could temporarily put the 'Heart-Eating Gu' to sleep. She also had several 'Divine Movement Talismans' with her, so she was able to escape unscathed from him."
As Jiang Rao spoke, he took out the remaining "Purifying Divine Smoke" from his storage bag, and added the two "Divine Travel Talismans" given by Bai Yuan.
Yan Shu took a quick look and was already about 70% convinced.
Then Jiang Rao continued, "As for the Blood Origin Sect..."
"It has something to do with my biological parents."
"Master, you may not know this, but my father's name is Jiang Taixu, and he is the former head of the Jiang family in the west of Zhongzhou."
"Jiang Taixu?!"
Yan Shu's eyelids twitched.
This name is not ordinary.
It’s not just because the Jiang family is one of the eight ancient cultivation clans.
Furthermore, this Jiang Taixu had a slight friendship with the previous head of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, Xuanweizi, and had personally visited Tianyuan Mountain forty years ago. However, at that time, Yan Shu was just an ordinary inner sect disciple, not qualified to participate in such a meeting, so she only watched from afar.
After that, time passed and Xuanweizi traveled around after he stepped down as the head of the sect and disappeared for many years. The Jiang family was also brutally exterminated twenty years ago and was eliminated from the cultivation world overnight.
After this incident, many forces, including the Tianyuan Sword Sect, sent personnel to Xizhou to investigate the whole process of the Jiang family's extermination. However, because of the Jiang family, most of the relevant clues were cleared up, and the clues obtained were very limited, making it an unsolved case in the cultivation world.
now……
The disciple he accidentally saved several years ago turned out to be a member of the Jiang family who had been left behind?!
The Blood Origin Sect's attack on her... doesn't that mean that the one who destroyed the Jiang family back then was most likely a member of the Blood Origin Sect?!
This news surprised Yan Shu very much, and she immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
"This matter is of great importance. Rao'er, please stop talking for now. We must set off immediately to return to Tianyuan Mountain!"
"In my current state, if I were to encounter the Blood Origin Sect's assassins again, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to protect you. Let's go first!"
"Yes."
Jiang Rao nodded obediently.
At that moment, Yan Shu took out a secret flying boat from her storage ring, motioned for Jiang Rao to come up, and then formed hand seals. She saw ripples in the air around the flying boat, which was a sign that the space was about to be torn apart.
This is clearly a flying boat capable of space jumps! Even within a behemoth like the Tianyuan Sword Sect, only a select few are qualified to own and use this secret treasure!
next moment.
With a "whoosh", the flying boat disappeared from its original place.
When he reappeared, he was already within a hundred miles of Tianyuan Mountain! The main peak that reached the sky was already in sight!
From the cultivator's perspective, they could see a lotus-like protective formation swirling around Tianyuan Mountain, sheltering all nine peaks. Even from this location, they were already within the protective formation's area of effect. If anyone from the demonic sect appeared here, they would be immediately identified and annihilated.
Even if the opponent is powerful and can break in without fear of the formation, the elders and disciples of Tianyuan Sword Sect will immediately appear to eliminate the demons and defend the way.
Although there was an accident two years ago that caused some damage to the mountain protection formation, but...
"We are safe here."
Yan Shu glanced at Jiang Rao beside her, suppressed the thought of the accident in her heart, and then raised her chin: "Let's go, Rao'er, I'll take you to see the head teacher."
……
Current Fluctuation Value: 9300
Hidden Moon Mountain.
The lord's bedroom.
Bai Yuan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the words emerging in the void, feeling a little confused.
Thanks to Jiang Rao's two outbursts and Ye Shuang'er's steady performance, her volatility value had reached an unprecedented 9,000 points. It was expected that after a few more days of accumulation, it would successfully break through 10000 points. However, Bai Yuan was a little confused about how to spend these volatility points.
If you really accumulate 10000 points, you can redeem it for a super-large lucky bag. And the things in the super-large lucky bag should theoretically be much better than those in the large lucky bag.
only……
The uncertainty is a bit large.
Because Bai Yuan only has one chance, if she is unlucky - or if the little waste performs steadily and gives herself "beautiful black stockings that can withstand attacks from the Spirit Transformation Realm"... then she might as well get ten big lucky bags.
(Little waste, what's inside the super-sized lucky bag? Can you tell me?)
[This... type is not much different from the Big Lucky Bag, but the overall quality is higher. In theory, most of the items are able to have an effect on the Divine Transformation Realm. However, the specific list of prizes cannot be disclosed by this system, and can only be experienced by the host personally.]
(Doesn’t that mean I haven’t said anything…)
Bai Yuan sighed. "I remember you said before that you could add a 'medium lucky bag' between the small lucky bag and the large lucky bag. So, could you give me a 'large medium lucky bag', which costs 5000 points to redeem? Let me try it first?"
[Theoretically, it is possible, but if you use 5000 points to draw, the quality of the prize will be reduced accordingly.]
"...Forget it then."
Bai Yuan considered it over and over again, and finally decided to try his luck.
After all, she really needs one or two things that can be effective against the Spirit Transformation Realm, even if it is just simple protective gear.
Because of Jiang Rao's incident, she had already offended both the Qingxuan Sect and the Xueyuan Sect, especially the latter. If they were determined to attack her, it would be difficult for her to escape with the methods she currently possessed. Even if she could escape, she wouldn't have the energy to protect Ye Shuang'er.
As for the Hidden Moon Sect...
You can only give up directly.
"Unfortunately, Ye Shuang'er is the only one who can provide stable fluctuation value right now. Jiang Rao has returned to Tianyuan Sword Sect this time, so I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other often in the short term. The best I can do is to get some benefits through letters or something like that... It would be great if I could find another girl of destiny to share the benefits with."
Bai Yuan was thinking this in his mind.
In theory, Ji Tingxue could be considered half a "daughter of destiny," after all, she was the reincarnation of the Ji family's saint from a thousand years ago. However, like Jiang Rao, she couldn't be in close contact with him often.
In addition...
Yan Shu counts as one quarter.
The light point displayed by this person in the [Liuguang Mirror] is much brighter than that of ordinary people. I guess it's because she is Jiang Rao's master, so she has some "Destiny" on her. If we can capture her, it should also provide a lot of fluctuation value.
Bai Yuan was thinking.
Then she heard a crisp sound of footsteps coming from outside. When they reached the door of the bedroom, they knocked. Then the other person peeked inside, then came over skipping and approaching her affectionately: "Master!"
"It's Shuang'er."
Bai Yuan smiled gently and touched Ye Shuang'er's head: "Is there something wrong?"
"some."
Ye Shuang'er nodded as she enjoyed the pat on the head, "I've already sent a message to Qingxuan Sect as you and Second Senior Sister said. They just responded and said they're open to talks. But they need to decide the time and place."
"?"
Bai Yuan smiled. "They're quite bold... Send a message back and say it's OK, but the negotiation location needs to be within a thousand miles of Hidden Moon Mountain, because I'm too lazy to travel far. As for the time, there aren't many days left this month, so let's set it at the beginning of next month."
There must be a reason why Bai Yuan said this.
Firstly, it had only been three or four days since the battle in Qixia Town, and my [Sword Cultivation Technique] had only been stacked two and a half times. If I were to fight with someone, I probably wouldn't be able to exert much power, so I had to wait a few days and stack it to at least five times, so that I could feel more confident when I went out.
Secondly, Bai Yuan planned to take advantage of these few days to get the last few hundred points of fluctuation value from Ye Shuang'er and draw the super-large lucky bag he had been longing for.
The result of the lottery for this super-large lucky bag determines, to a certain extent, what kind of attitude she will use to communicate with Qingxuanmen.
If the prize is average, you have to be a little more cautious.
If you're lucky enough to draw a big one...
Then you can be a little more arrogant.
Of course, it also depends on who comes over at that time.
"By the way..."
Bai Yuan pondered for a moment, "I wonder how Ji Tingxue is doing lately? Counting the days, it's been almost a month since I came out of the 'Yuankong Secret Realm'."
……
Near Cangmang Mountain.
In a secret space independent of the real world.
There are numerous fairy towers, pavilions, and waterside terraces. Although it is late summer and approaching autumn outside, here, a soft and smooth rain of apricot blossoms falls. Silver carp formed by spiritual energy shuttle through the winding corridors, and the gaps between the carved beams and painted pillars reflect stardust-like spots of light.
A magnificent scene surrounded by auspicious clouds.
now.
Located in a hall in the center of the secret space.
A burly man from the Ji clan, dressed in brown, knelt on one knee and bowed to the person in front of him: "Master, all the herbs on Miss Tingxue's list have been prepared."
"……Um."
The man called the head of the family stood with his hands behind his back in front of an ink painting of mountains and rivers, as if he was admiring the painting.
As the leader of the Ji family, the oldest and strongest of the eight ancient cultivation clans, Ji Taimei is 340 years old this year. He has a profound cultivation level and is rumored to have reached the Return to Void Realm. He is a figure that the entire cultivation world dares not underestimate.
Compared with his respected status and cultivation, his appearance is extremely handsome and androgynous, like a young man in his twenties, and his real age cannot be seen at all.
now.
The Ji clan member asked again: "Master, are we really going to give these precious medicinal herbs to the 'Blood Kite Demon Lord' of the Hidden Moon Sect?
"I've heard that Blood Kite is notorious in the outside world, having killed countless people and even practiced the evil art of refining the souls of living people! Our Ji family has been passed down for thousands of years, and we've never been involved in such a thing... If we break the rules this time, wouldn't that be breaking our Ji family's promise to 'not get involved in outside conflicts' and giving them a handle?"
"……Ah."
Ji Taimei smiled and said, "My Ji family has been able to remain neutral for a thousand years because of our own strength, not rumors from the outside world. If simply fulfilling an agreement and sending some medicinal herbs is considered participating in the struggle between good and evil, then this promise would have been broken hundreds of years ago."
"Besides, in this cultivation world, there are always fabricated stories and groundless speculations. Tingxue is a descendant of my Ji family. Since she promised that Blood Kite that she would give her the herbs, we must fulfill our promise. As for other rumors, we don't need to pay attention to them."
"But……"
The tribesman wanted to say something more.
Ji Taimei raised her hand slightly and said lightly, "If you are really worried, then act secretly and return after delivering the herbs. I believe that the Blood Kite Demon Lord will not publicize this matter.
"After a few days, when something new and significant happens in the cultivation world, those people outside will naturally forget about the Ji family's affairs."
"……OK then."
The Ji clan member nodded in agreement, and then left with a murderous aura.
Until then.
Behind the screen.
Another woman with a noble lady's bun and wearing a scarlet long skirt walked out leisurely. When she turned out, the hairpin in her hair did not shake at all. Her fair face and skin, set off by the scarlet skirt, looked like red plum blossoms reflected in the snow.
