Chapter 76 The Major Demon that Xiao Ning Sealed (1/2)
Two days passed quickly. Xiao Chen's injury was almost completely recovered. He went out of the room and found out that the Falling-jade Glow was built in a valley. The ground was flat, and there were houses, chickens, dogs, farmlands, and canals.
There were children, white-bearded old men, and countless men and women everywhere. This was a Utopia far away from the mundane life. These people looked like ordinary people, but they carried a faint demonic aura.
An hour later, Yi Tong took him to a bamboo forest. Deep in the forest, a zither sound rose. After walking for a moment, there was a quiet pool at the end of the forest. Beside the pool was a bamboo room, and two red lanterns were hung under the eaves. The plaque on the door had five nice-looking words in red: Still Waiting For The Parted.
The zither sound obviously came from the room.
”Lil Tong, is it Mr. Xiao?” The music suddenly stopped, and then a woman's voice rose.
”Yes.”
They entered the room and saw the room was furnished in a neat and elegant way. A jade zither was placed on a bamboo table, and in front of the table sat a fairy-looking woman in white. Without make-up, she still looked more beautiful than countless Immortals. Beside her was a 15 or 16 years old girl clad in teal.
Xiao Chen said with his hands clasped, ”I'm Xiao Chen. Sister had saved my life. My gratitude is beyond words.” He saw the woman was in her 20s. She was slightly older than him, so it was of good manner to call her sister.
The woman's name was Bai Susu, and she was the owner of this room. She looked at Xiao Chen as her eyes were full of unspeakable sadness as if the place between her eyebrows had infinite sorrow. She sighed softly and said, ”18 years passed so quickly. You've grown so quickly in the blink of an eye.”
”What?” Xiao Chen didn't understand what she said. The young girl in teal shouted, ”Yeah, yeah, yeah! It's him that bullied me in the tavern! The barbarian also did not help me! Sister, help me teach him a lesson!”
Of course, Xiao Chen recognized that the girl was the who had hurt people with a poisonous needle in the tavern. Bai Susu gently glared at the girl and said, ”Qing'er, watch your manner to the guest.” She then looked at Xiao Chen again, saying, ”Sorry, my sister is born with a naughty nature. Mr. Xiao, please don't mind her.”
Xiao Chen gave a bitter smile and said, ”No, no, no...” If he had known this young girl had a sister with horrible cultivation, he would never dare offend this girl.
They chatted for a while before Xiao Chen got up and clasped his hands, saying, ”Thank you, Sister Bai, for your help in these days. I won't bother you no more...”
”Are you leaving so soon?” Bai Susu raised her head, the sorrow between her eyebrows became deeper.
”I have family issues to attend to. I really dare not to delay.”
In fact, Xiao Chen really wanted to stay for more days. He had never seen this woman in front of him, but he felt close to her. Unfortunately, he had been tied up with issues recently. He had to deal with them as soon as possible.
”All right. There are many barriers on Falling-jade Peak. Lil Tong, see Mr. Xiao off.”
Two hours later, Yi Tong had sent the two people out of the woods. Xiao Chen clasped his hands and said, ”Brother Yi, see you.”
Yi Tong nodded with a smile. ”Well then, see you soon. I'll buy you a drink someday.”
”Good!” Xiao Chen smiled. Somehow, he also felt very close to this Yi Tong, even though they almost ended up fighting when they first met.
He and Li Muxue went to the town nearby and found a carriage. The most important thing right now was to go back to his home as soon as possible. He always felt more and more uneasy in his heart.
When Yi Tong returned to the Falling-jade Glow, he and Bai Susu stood on the top of the cliff. Yi Tong looked at the purple-gold gourd on his waist, asking, ”Is he really the one big brother risked his life to resurrect?”
”Yes. He is the one that your big brother would rather sacrifice his own life to resurrect.”
Bai Susu took a deep breath, and her eyes suddenly turned cold. ”Tomorrow, send men to the Skygale Sect and tell them by the name of Spirit Silence Room that if they dare to do anything to Xiao Chen, the Skygale Sect will be no more in this world!”
At the same time, two white-haired old men stood on the top of a high mountain in Cloud City, their clothes dancing with the wind. One of them looked at the direction of the Xiao Family. He was Gongye Zi.
Next to him, the old man in teal robe said, ”Gongye Zi, listen to me again. If you vent your anger on the mortals, things will be difficult if the Immortals' League heard it. Not to mention that this Xiao Family...”
Gongye Zi raised his head, his face full of murderous aura. ”That kid made me lose 30% of my Life Span for nothing. I will refine all his family into blood souls! If things do happen, I'll take the blame!”
...
The carriage arrived at the Cloud City at dusk. At this point, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if his heart had been hollowed out. He murmured, ”Mother...”
He pulled up the curtain and saw evil Qi was surging above the Xiao Family with dark clouds. It was a sunny day, so the black clouds must not be raining.
Thinking of this, his body turned cold as coldness rose from his heart. He then flew out of the carriage and sprinted to his home. Li Muxue saw this and quickly followed him.
But at the moment, on the high mountains of the Xiao Family, murderous sounds shook the sky. Countless guards of the Xiao Family lay on the mountain path, and blood flowed like a river in the Fly Cloud Court. Corpses and head scattered everywhere, and countless houses turned into ashes under the raining sword Qi.
Xiao Tianqi was covered in blood, and his face was overwhelmed with horror. He looked at the old man in red robe and said in tremor, ”Why... Why is this...”
The old man in red was Gongye Zi. He snorted coldly and said, ”Why? Because your man has offended the man he should not offend!” He then swung his sword to some women hid behind the tree. Blood splashed. Those women fell down heavily before they could even scream.
