Chapter 99 Since you want to give me a father, I'll leave you a grandfather.
A calculated scheme.
A calculated scheme to force you to confess, with a knife to your throat.
If they don't admit it, Ji Linglong will be killed on the spot, and Zizhu Peak will be blamed for "defense oversight".
If they accept it, this hot potato will become a ticking time bomb, and any evil deeds committed by this witch in the future will be attributed to Purple Bamboo Peak.
What's even more troublesome is Tie Wuqing.
The thunder whip in the hands of the head of the Enforcement Hall crackled, and arcs of electricity exploded in the darkness, leaving pale gaps that reflected on his face, which was even blacker than the bottom of a pot.
He stared intently at Ji Linglong, like a butcher staring at meat waiting to be slaughtered on a chopping board.
Xiao Wufeng had a faint smile on his lips.
He is waiting.
Waiting for Yu Liang's struggles, fear, or his ugly display of impotent rage.
But what he saw was a nauseating, maniacal elation that suddenly bloomed on Yu Liang's face.
"Xiao Cui! So you're not dead!"
A mournful cry startled the crows in the woods.
Yu Liang rushed over as if he had seen his own mother, ignoring the charred remains and the stench of swill on Ji Linglong's body, and hugged her tightly, his snot and tears instantly flowing freely.
"You scared me to death! I thought you'd been carried off by wolves! If you died, who would wash the pig for me?!"
The wailing was heart-wrenching and deeply moving.
Taking advantage of the momentum, he casually wiped his snot-covered hand on Ji Linglong's body, then suddenly turned around and grabbed Xiao Wufeng's spotless brocade sleeve.
"Senior Brother Xiao! Thank you so much!"
Yu Liang shook Xiao Wufeng's arm excitedly.
The hands that had just touched pigs, rubbed the ground, and wiped their noses left five clear, greasy black handprints on the snow-white, high-class monk's robe.
Xiao Wufeng's smile froze.
"If it weren't for your formation, my directionally challenged daughter would probably have wandered off somewhere! These are my family! My half-siblings!"
Xiao Wufeng stared at the stain seeping from his cuff, his eyes twitching wildly.
My OCD flared up, and my stomach churned violently.
He almost wanted to chop off the dirty hand on the spot.
But he held back.
Because he wants to win.
"This is Xiao Cui, the new pig-washing maid I hired."
Yu Liang pulled out the crumpled document from his pocket and shook it loudly in front of Tie Wuqing.
"Look, it's written in black and white; she's here to work."
"As for the formation being broken—"
Yu Liang looked completely innocent, pointing to the flaw: "This is clearly old and dilapidated, chewed up by rats. Senior Brother Xiao, the quality of your work is worrying. Did you take a kickback?"
Tie Wuqing was so angry that his beard trembled: "Nonsense! A rat could bite through the Xuanjin array patterns?!"
"Elder Tie, please calm down."
Xiao Wufeng suppressed the urge to tear off his sleeve and smiled.
He took out a photographic stone from his sleeve.
Spiritual power activated.
The scene of Yu Liang recognizing Ji Linglong, and the written agreement, were clearly recorded.
"Since he is a servant of Zizhu Peak, then things will be easier."
Xiao Wufeng walked up to Yu Liang.
The two were so close that they could hear each other breathing.
Yu Liang lowered his voice, his eyes turning fierce: "Xiao Wufeng, aren't you afraid I'll reveal what happened in the cold pool that night—"
"You can give it a try."
Xiao Wufeng remained completely calm.
He even reached out to straighten Yu Liang's crooked collar, his movements as elegant as if he were treating an old friend.
"If you dare to reveal my private affairs, I will immediately request the Enforcement Hall to thoroughly investigate this woman's background on charges of 'lax discipline and allowing her servants to commit violence.'"
"You tell me, can a village girl who carries a poisoned broken shovel and harbors strange poison within her body really stand up to scrutiny?"
"When she dies, your Purple Bamboo Peak will be finished for harboring demonic cultivators."
Yu Liang looked at him coldly.
See the picture poorly.
Xiao Wufeng patted Yu Liang on the shoulder, his voice so soft that only the two of them could hear it.
"Yu Liang, you've lost this round."
Yu Liang remained silent.
He just stared intently at Ji Linglong on the ground, as if trying to find a flower in this piece of charcoal.
Iron Heartless lost his patience.
"This woman possesses pure demonic energy, far beyond what a mere servant could have accidentally stumbled into a formation. We must use a soul-searching technique to thoroughly investigate her origins!"
Soul Search.
Once unleashed, it can cause anything from insanity to complete annihilation.
This is an attempt to kill someone to silence them, and incidentally pin the blame on Zizhu Peak.
Yu Liang did not move.
He didn't even look at Tie Wuqing's right hand, which was crackling with lightning, but slowly raised his head and looked at the pitch-black night sky.
A subtle, almost manic smile curved his lips.
Xiao Wufeng, you played this game brilliantly.
Using the flaws in the formation as bait and the eruption of demonic energy as a signal, they lured the Enforcement Hall to trap them like turtles in a jar.
But despite all your careful planning, you overlooked one crucial point.
In pursuit of ultimate lethality, you set up this "Mother-Child Chain Killing Array" on the spiritual vein node behind Tianjian Peak.
That explosion just now was too loud, and the demonic energy was too pure.
Beneath the main peak of the Qingxuan Sect lies a terrifying being that even those at the Nascent Soul stage fear.
How can we allow others to set off firecrackers right next to our bed?
This terrifying fluctuation of demonic energy was enough to trigger the highest alert of the mountain-protecting formation. The old monster who truly controlled every blade of grass and tree in the Qingxuan Sect could not possibly pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Soul Search!"
Tie Wuqing roared, his withered hand carrying a suffocating pressure as he grabbed at the crown of the unconscious Ji Linglong.
The moment his fingertips touched Ji Linglong's hair.
Without warning, the spiritual energy of the entire Heavenly Sword Peak suddenly stagnated.
The wind stopped.
The originally rampant demonic energy, the lightning in Tie Wuqing's palm, and even Xiao Wufeng's confident smile were all forcibly frozen by some higher-dimensional force in that instant.
That was a "domain" from a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
"Nonsense."
Two words, falling lightly from the clouds, shattered Tie Wuqing's spiritual pressure like a heavy hammer.
Ripples spread across the void, and two figures emerged from thin air.
On the left, Tianjizi held a tortoise shell in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the remnants of the formation on the ground, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes at his disciple's overly aggressive methods.
On the right, Sect Leader Xuanweizi, his purple robes fluttering, stood with a somber expression.
He was in seclusion in the Taiqing Palace when he sensed the mountain-protecting array's core shaking violently, and an extremely pure, unfamiliar demonic energy erupted at Tianjian Peak. This forced him to personally appear and investigate.
"Greetings, Sect Leader! Greetings, Master!"
Xiao Wufeng and Tie Wuqing's expressions changed, and they both bowed.
Xiao Wufeng's hand, hidden in his sleeve, tightened slightly.
The sect leader arrived half an hour earlier than he expected, but this was not a big deal; on the contrary, it would confirm Yu Liang's guilt.
Yu Liang also cupped his hands in greeting, but beneath his lowered eyelids, his thieving eyes had already activated the "Perspective of Cause and Effect".
He's gambling.
Betting on that absurdly possible possibility.
In my vision, the world is reduced to a tangled mess of black and white lines.
Tie Wuqing's lines are black laws, while Xiao Wufeng's lines are gray schemes.
Only on the head of Ji Linglong, who was covered in the smell of swill and looked like a piece of charcoal, was an extremely thin, pale, yet glaringly red line that stubbornly snaked upwards.
It passed through the crowd, through spiritual pressure, and finally—
It was connected to Xuanweizi's heart.
That's the bond of blood—the cause and effect of blood ties!
Yu Liang's heart skipped a beat, followed by a surge of joy that almost made him burst out laughing.
He had seen the line the moment the woman entered Zizhu Peak during the day, and at the time he thought he was seeing things.
Only now, seeing the thread become increasingly solid after Xuanweizi appeared, did he become certain.
Good guy!
Since you're going to give away a father, I'll leave you a grandfather!
This isn't a hot potato; it's a get-out-of-jail-free card!
"What happened?"
Xuanweizi's gaze swept across the entire area, his imposing aura like that of a prison. "The mountain-protecting formation's alarm bells are ringing continuously. Anyone unaware of the situation would think the Demonic Sect is attacking the mountain. As the head of the Enforcement Hall and the chief of Tianjian Peak, what kind of decorum is this, causing such a commotion?"
"Reporting to the Sect Leader!"
Tie Wuqing stepped forward solemnly, pointing at Ji Linglong on the ground, "It's not that I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. This woman trespassed into the forbidden area at night, possesses demonic powers, and wielded a deadly weapon to destroy the great formation! The purity of her demonic energy is unparalleled in my life! I was just about to take her back for a soul search to thoroughly investigate the demonic forces behind her—"
"Soul search?"
Xuanweizi frowned slightly.
As the sect leader, he instinctively abhorred such uncontrollable variables.
His gaze followed Tie Wuqing's finger and casually swept over the unconscious "witch" on the ground.
Just one glance.
Xuanweizi's pupils suddenly contracted.
Although the girl looked like a crazy woman who had just crawled out of a coal mine, with swill and mud on her face.
But in the eyes of a powerful being who has reached the Nascent Soul stage, neither physical appearance nor facial features can be hidden.
The contours of his eyebrows and eyes, the tightly pursed, stubborn corners of his mouth, and the beauty mark hidden beneath the mud—
Like.
so similar.
Deep in my memory, those worldly experiences from my trials in the mortal realm, instantly overlapped with the person before me.
Especially that red line.
In Yu Liang's eyes, it was a line of cause and effect; in Xuan Weizi's spiritual perception, it was a throbbing and resonance originating from the depths of his bloodline.
That was his—seed?
Xuanweizi's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his fingertips trembling slightly. His usually calm Dao heart was stirred by a ripple of panic.
How did I end up here?
How could he have this kind of identity?
Demonic arts? Demonic cult?
"Sect Leader, Senior Brother?"
Seeing Xuanweizi in a daze, Tie Wuqing couldn't help but urge, "This woman is deeply demonic; delay will only lead to unforeseen consequences. Please allow me to search her soul immediately!"
As he spoke, lightning crackled in his palm again, and he was about to strike Ji Linglong on the head.
"stop!"
A heart-wrenching roar rang out even faster than Xuanweizi's.
Like a protective mother hen, Yu Liang suddenly pounced on Ji Linglong, using his back to block Tie Wuqing's thunderous palm.
"Let's see who dares to touch her!"
Yu Liang raised his head, his gaze passing over Tie Wuqing, and stared intently at Xuan Weizi in mid-air.
His eyes were full of emotion.
That was a complex look in his eyes that said, "I know your secret," "I'm keeping your secret," and "Hurry up and pay me to shut up."
"Sect Leader!"
Yu Liang shouted, his voice filled with grief and indignation.
"This is—this is a 'hidden gem' of our Qingxuan Sect that has been lost to the world!"
"Are you really going to watch Elder Tie beat this child senseless?!"
'
