Chapter 79 (1/2)

“What?! You said the people of the Spirit Silence Room…”

Perfected Immortal Daofeng whispered something to Tiangu Zi. Tiangu Zi’s face changed dramatically and turned pale and terrible. He then took out his Immortal’s Sword which sheared through his left arm. Blood splashed around as he completely cut off his arm.

The Xiao family disciples were frightened and wondering what he was doing now.

Tiangu Zi said in tremor, “I’ve committed a heinous crime today. I cut off my arm to offer my apology!” He then was about to turn around when he heard a cold voice. “Humph! Are you going to leave just like this?”

All of a sudden, a black air appeared between Xiao Chen’s eyebrows, and his eyes gradually became dark purple. Perfected Immortal Daofeng noticed the tide was turning and suddenly thrust his sword to Tiangu Zi’s heart.

“This man deserved to die! Now, one life for another!” After saying so, he slapped on Tiangu Zi’s head and destroyed his body and soul instantly.

“This man is dead. I’m leaving now.” He then rode on the Immortal’s Sword and left. For a moment, none of the Xiao family disciples knew what had happened.

Xiao Chen looked blankly at the person in his arm, shouting, “Muxue! Muxue!” However, her body was turning cold.

Xiao Chen immediately pushed some True Energy into her body, but it felt empty. She was really dead…

“Ahhhh!” With an earth-shattering long howl, a cold wind blew in the Fly Cloud Court. Then, gradually, snowflakes danced in the air. One piece after another, they were white and flawless.

“Muxue! Muxue! Wake up! Wake up now! It’s snowing! It’s snowing…” Xiao Chen smiled while crying. However he sobbed, the person in his arms could never see the falling snows.

He finally understood now. Whoever he was holding in his arms, Li Muxue, or Flower Yet-ending’s reincarnation—

The affection had been deep into the bones.

The big snow continued for a day and night, and Cloud City became all white. People said that this was a snow of good fortune and a good sign. Families hung up the big red lanterns, celebrating with joy. Firecrackers and gongs rang out together, adults made meals in the kitchens, children made snowmen in the snow and had snowball fights…

In the Fly Cloud Court, Xiao Chen still held Li Muxue in his arms and kept pushing True Energy into her body to keep her body temperature warm. However, he was covered with layers of snow. He never moved an inch, and nobody could talk him out of this.

All of a sudden, two rows of sword radiance from the skyline, one teal, and one purple, fell into the Fly Cloud Court. Elder Zi Mo and Qing Feng came on the news.

Qing Feng quickly grabbed Li Muxue’s wrist and sent some True Qi into her body. After a short while, he shook his head.

Zi Mo frowned upon seeing this. He sighed and said, “Little junior sister! Little junior sister! I can’t even protect your only disciple. I’m of no use in this world! I’d rather die!” It sounded sad.

Qing Feng sighed and looked at Xiao Chen, saying, “You get up first.”

Xiao Chen looked blank. “Seniors, can you save her?”

“Her soul has dispersed. How can we save her?”

“Her soul has dispersed… No, it’s impossible…” Xiao Chen kept shaking his head. Suddenly, he blacked out.

When he was in a coma, he seemed to have heard someone calling his name softly in his ear. That person seemed to be Flower Yet-ending or Li Muxue. When he opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, he could not touch her at all. He then madly ran after her, but the distance between them could never be shortened.

He finally woke up from the nightmare with sweat all over his body. The snow outside had stopped. Looking at the snow on the branches, Xiao Chen’s memory gradually became clear.

Until now, he finally understood why he couldn’t remember the figure in the glimpse in his mind. The figure was a woman in a devils’ sect thousands of years ago called Flower Yet-ending.

Because at that time, Ling Yin cheated him and made him take a Love-killer Pill which was refined by Nirvana Flower. No matter Immortals or demons, whoever took the Love-killer Pill would forget the person in his deepest memory.

The story began a long time ago. At that time, he was just a Mystic Cyan Sect disciple who only wanted to eliminate the devils and protect the Daoist. He was young and arrogant. One day, he sneaked down the mountain with four senior brothers to hunt down some remnants of the devil’s practice, but he did not know that he was in the trap of his enemy.

It was a great blow to him at that time. His best friends, the other four senior brothers, were all died in the battle. At the last moment, he crushed the jade note that Ling Yin gave him. Lin Ying arrived in time and saved his life.

Since then, he depressed. Ling Yin could not bear seeing him like this, so she let him go out of the sect to travel and train, and to release the sorrow in him. That decision contributed to this unblessed relationship. He made acquaintance with the daughter of the sect leader of a Devils’ sect, Flower Yet-ending.

After Xiao Chen went down the mountain, he played around. Every time he arrived at a beautiful place, he played zither or eliminated villains for local people. One month later, he had already felt a lot better and planned to go back to the Mystic Cyan Mountain. However, he passed by a place called Beautiful Immortal Mountains on his way back. He found this place beautiful, and there were more than a hundred kinds of birds. He was so happy and forgot to go back. He then found a bamboo woods and continuously played zither for three days and nights.

The spring water in the bamboo forest passed by and rattled. In the last day, Xiao Chen sat beside the spring and played zither. The resounding music made hundreds of birds dance and sing, depicting a picture of a hundred birds singing to a phoenix.

“Swoosh!” A pebble suddenly flew from behind him. The pebble came so fast that it knocked off the bird standing on his shoulder with a bang. Xiao Chen suddenly turned his head and said, “Who!”

It was a girl about 15 or 16 years old. She wore a beautiful white dress and was too far for Xiao Chen to see clearly. “This person threw a stone from 300 meters away, and she even precisely hit the target. Moreover, I haven’t noticed her. Her cultivation is definitely not below mine. But she seems to be a bit ruthless.”

The girl slowly approached him with light steps when Xiao Chen saw her face clearly. It was unmatched and moving like an Immortal in heaven. Xiao Chen felt ashamed under her beauty. But she kept looking at the sky and did not look at him, which made him feel even more ashamed. He said, “The bird did not offend you. Why did you kill it?”

The girl suddenly turned her head, and a pair of eyes which were as clear as water fell on his face. She had a vague smile and said, “I’ve been listening to someone playing zither for three days and nights here, but these birds kept chirping incessantly. Does it matter that I hit them?”

Xiao Chen said unhappily, “Everything had a life. Chirping is the nature of birds. You can’t change that. So, why do you have to hurt them?”
