Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 57: I don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is

The Cliff of Suicide is the end of the mountain range. The north side is as if cut by an axe. The cliff is thousands of feet high, and there is a bottomless chasm below. If you fall off the cliff, there is no possibility of survival.

Xiao Yuzhen stood on the cliff, facing north, overlooking the cliff below, with his clothes fluttering in the wind, like a rebellious figure, thinking about the past and feeling melancholy. After his disciples with Wuzhan and Qin Moyao passed by behind him, he turned around, leaped to the front of the team, and led his disciples down the cliff.

They had not walked far when they saw nearly a hundred people in front of them wearing clothes of various colors, divided into six or seven groups, forming a swallow-wing formation, blocking the way. They were obviously the people who were looking for Wuzhan as Xun Qingrou mentioned. Among them were Xiao Jinghong and Chang Buyu, whom Wuzhan had met.

Most of these people came to the Shiwandashan Mountains to look for the seal. I don't know where they got the news from, but Wuzhan had unlocked the seal and it fell into Xiao Yuzhen's hands, so they were waiting here.

Chang Buyu glanced at Xiao Yuzhen and Wuzhan behind him, and suddenly discovered that Qin Moyao, the woman he loved, was also among them. Her acupoints were sealed, and she could not move. She looked depressed. For a moment, he could not understand why Xiao Yuzhen did this, so he just watched closely.

Xiao Jinghong had seen Xiao Yuzhen before, so he stepped forward, bowed, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many years. You are even more graceful than before. Even the gods would be jealous of you!"

Xiao Yuzhen giggled and said, "You are waiting for me here just to compliment me like these?"

Xiao Jinghong glanced at Wuzhan behind Xiao Yuzhen and said with a kind smile, "I dare not hide it. I heard that little brother Wuzhan is still alive and is now in the hands of the Holy Mother. There is something unclear, so I want to ask him here. I hope the Holy Mother will be lenient and allow me to ask further questions!"

Xiao Yuzhen said: "Oh, is there something shameful? If you want to ask, then ask in front of everyone, no need to say anything further!"

Xiao Jinghong also knew that Xiao Yuzhen would never give him this opportunity, so he smiled and said, "That's not the case. When I was in Changyang Mountain, I got a golden elixir, but it was later taken away by Lu Wu. At that time, I was also taken away by Lu Wu, and I don't know whether he is dead or alive. Now that I am alive, I think you must know where Lu Wu went and the whereabouts of the golden elixir."

Many people had only heard that Wuzhan had unlocked the seal, but were not very clear about the specific circumstances. After hearing Xiao Jinghong's question, they realized that there was a golden elixir there. They all looked at Wuzhan, waiting for his answer.

Wuzhan had expected them to ask this question, and said calmly: "Luwu was crushed under the collapsed Changyang Mountain, and the golden elixir is in its belly. If you don't believe it, you can move those rocks away and you will find it."

After Changyang Mountain collapsed, some people here also went there. If Lu Wu was crushed underneath, they would not be able to find Lu Wu's body even if they dug for more than ten years. Wuzhan said so, and there was no evidence. Chang Buyu stepped forward and asked: "Why was it crushed to death? Why did Changyang Mountain collapse? And how did you escape?"

Wuzhan said slowly: "After it took me into the deep pool, I fell into a coma. When I woke up, I found that I was back to the seal. By then, you had all left. It placed the three magic stones together with the other two magic stones in the five holes of the seal. When the five magic stones disappeared inside, the seal was unlocked. When the seal was opened, Lu Wu jumped down, and Changyang Mountain began to collapse." He coughed lightly and continued: "The situation was dangerous, and rocks kept falling down. When I unlocked the seal, I saw eight huge chains and a huge shield below, so I hurriedly looked for a cave to escape. When I escaped from the cave, the entire cave collapsed, and there was a ruin outside. Lu Wu must have been pressed under the mountain. This is what I saw."

After Wuzhan finished speaking, everyone began to speculate, but few people believed Wuzhan's words. Xiao Jinghong asked, "Why did Lu Wu take you away alone? After we left, why did he bring you out again to unlock the seal?"

Wuzhan said calmly: "I know the words on the giant axe. It is the music score written by Xingtian. I was reading that music score at that time. After Luwu heard it, he took me away. Maybe that's the reason."

Chang Buyu stepped forward and scolded: "What you said is baseless and fabricated. Don't try to deceive us. Tell us the truth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound and a black light shot towards Chang Bu Yu. He didn't expect that someone would suddenly attack him while he was speaking. He was horrified. The dart wrapped in black air had already flashed in front of him. If he was hit, there would definitely be a hole in his chest. But the dart was too fast and he was not prepared. It was too late to dodge.

Just when the dart was about to hit Chang Bu Yu again, Chang Bu Yu's body was gently pushed away a little, and a long sword pierced out from his side. With a "clang" sound, the dart hit the tip of the sword, and the long sword bent and bounced the dart to the ground.

The one who made the move was an old man in a blue Taoist robe behind Chang Buyu. He had a Taoist hat, a ruddy face, three strands of green beard, and a slightly fat body. He drew his sword almost instantly and intercepted the dart. It was obvious that his cultivation level was comparable to Xiao Yuzhen's. He was Chang Buyu's master, Longquan Zhenren. Longquan Zhenren was a prodigy in the world of cultivation. He achieved the perfection of Taoism at the age of 35 and reached the state of out-of-body experience. He took over the position of the head of Songshan at the age of 40. More than ten years ago, at the "Daoism Conference" at Tiandu Peak in Huangshan, he broke through the sea of ​​clouds with a "Long Rainbow Penetrating the Sun", which made him famous. Songshan also stood out among many sects and became one of the seven famous sects.

Chang Bu Yu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and his legs went weak. If his master had not intervened in time to block the sudden dart, he would have died without a doubt. After a moment of panic, he said to his master in gratitude, "Thank you, Master, for saving me!" He retreated behind his master and glared at Xiao Yuzhen.

Longquan Zhenren retracted his sword and smiled, "The Holy Mother is indeed worthy of her reputation. She never hesitates to kill people. I have learned her lesson today. However, I just wanted to find out the truth, but the Holy Mother suddenly killed me. This is really disrespectful to me, Songshan!"

Xiao Yuzhen was in Miaojiang, dominating the area. Although she had heard of Songshan Longquan, in her eyes, those famous and upright sects were all people with a righteous appearance, and she had never been afraid of them. After hearing what Longquan said, she giggled and said, "You blocked my way today, which means you didn't take me seriously. Is it useful for you to say this nonsense to me?"

As everyone listened to the two men talking, they felt the air gradually getting cooler, and vaguely sensed that two powerful forces were gathering. They dared not make a sound, and were ready to step aside at any time to prevent the two immortal-level masters from fighting and hurting innocent people.

Longquan smiled and said, "We are here only to find out the whereabouts of the golden elixir for our inferior disciple. We have no ill intentions. The Holy Mother is worrying too much!"

Xiao Yuzhen's face was cold, and she said in a deep voice: "I never worry too much. This kid is my person now. Whether he is willing to tell me or not is all because of our Cangshan's favor. Don't even mention that you are asking him about the whereabouts of the golden elixir. Even if the golden elixir is in his possession, it is also my golden elixir. Do you still want to take it away?" These words were spoken in an overbearing and domineering manner.

Wuzhan was standing behind Xiao Yuzhen, feeling the cold wind blowing on his face and his clothes fluttering. He could feel the lofty aura emanating from Xiao Yuzhen and was secretly impressed by her cultivation level and even more so her rebellious character.

Longquan had heard of Xiao Yuzhen's name a long time ago. She was cruel, ruthless, and arbitrary. If Wuzhan had not fallen into her hands, how could he dare to intercept him here so easily? After cultivating to the level of a casual immortal, if he cannot ascend to become an immortal, his life of cultivation would be in vain. According to Chang Buyu's urgent letter, which described the situation at that time, Wuzhan was strangely taken away by Lu Wu, and then Changyang Mountain collapsed. It was he who broke the seal, and there was no doubt what he saw and what he got inside. This is what everyone wants to know, and they even imagine it. These people who come here are just like him, they all want to pry open Wuzhan's mouth and snatch what he may get.

Seeing Xiao Yuzhen, it seemed that she was seriously injured, and her true energy was a little unstable. If he fought with her at this moment, although the chances of winning were high, it would not be easy. If things went wrong, both sides would be injured. At that time, it would be difficult to fight with other sects. He should have let those sects take action first, and he would wait for the opportunity to seize Wuzhan. However, he did not expect Xiao Yuzhen to be so arrogant and ruthless to Chang Buyu without saying a word. What she said also made him lose face and leave no room for him. If he endured it, Songshan would not be able to raise his head in the future. Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said to Wuzhan, "My disciple was the first to find the golden elixir. If it is on you, please return it to my disciple."

Wuzhan said calmly: "It's not on me."

Longquan said: "Don't be afraid, little Taoist friend. There are so many of us here today. As long as you tell the truth, we will definitely stand up for you." The implication is that as long as you say that you are being held hostage by Xiao Yuzhen, we will attack you together.

Wuzhan said: "I have told the truth. Apart from this, I know nothing else." This was already a cold refusal.

When Xiao Yuzhen heard Wuzhan say this, she sneered, "You have all heard it, and I have finished asking questions. I don't have time to waste with you here. Get out of the way. I want to go back to Cangshan!"

How could these people bear to let them go? They all stood still, but they didn't dare to take the lead. They looked around and hesitated. Chang Buyu took the opportunity to shout, "How dare you kidnap an Emei disciple? Release her quickly, otherwise don't even think about getting through us."

Although most people noticed that there was a beautiful girl tied up among the Cangshan disciples, they did not know her origins. Only after Chang Buyu asked did they know that she was an Emei disciple. They thought to themselves: "Why did Xiao Yuzhen capture her? Could it be related to unlocking the seal?" If so, then they would have an excuse to "rescue her".

Xiao Yuzhen laughed contemptuously and said, "I can capture whoever I want, no matter which sect she belongs to. If you want to let her go, come and capture her yourself. Oh, I almost forgot, there are a lot of people here. By the way, you can spread my words. Qin Moyao, a disciple of Mount Emei, is in my hands. If Leng Muxue does not show up in Cangshan within three days, I will make her daughter lose her reputation and become a cripple."

The Qi in Longquan's body surged, like a towering mountain rising suddenly, majestic and imposing, his Taoist robe fluttering, the grass where he was, branches and leaves were blown to the ground, rustling, forming a whirlpool with a diameter of three meters. The disciples behind him were swept by the Qi and retreated backwards. He slowly drew out the long sword in his hand and said coldly: "If I don't curb your arrogance, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"
