Chapter 769: Revealing the Secrets (Part 1)
Dongfang Jian's eyes shone with determination as he spoke word by word, "If Liu Yifei can't do it, I will! If Liu Yifei can't say it, I will say it! I will be not only Liu Yifei's sharp sword but also his eyes, his mouth... I will make him unable to leave me!"
"Hmm, just do that," Dugu Xiu nodded, "A temporary bow is for a better rise later! Now you suck up to Liu Yifei, please him as much as you like, and when your position is stable and your strength has increased, it will be Liu Yifei's turn to suck up to you. Dongfang Jian, keep it up! Your future will definitely be brilliant!"
"Haha..." Dongfang Jian burst into laughter, "Today is truly a happy day!"
"Now you are firmly ahead of Gao Fei, he will never catch up to you in his lifetime," Dugu Xiu said with a smile.
"Gao Fei... when I think about it, it's been a long time since I last saw him; I don't know how he's doing now."
"He's probably still trying to save Shangguan Yunyue," remarked Dugu Xiu.
"Dream on. Shangguan Yunyue was captured by the Myriad Buddhas Sect; even if Gao Fei is formidable, there's no way he could rescue her from their hands."
"Let's not worry about him. Let him struggle how he wants. It would be for the best if he died at the Myriad Buddhas Sect." Dugu Xiu took Dongfang Jian's hand, "The weather is nice today; come out and play with me. It's been a long time since we've gone out."
"Sure!" Dongfang Jian readily agreed, "I'll do whatever you want today, anything you feel like doing! I won't say the word 'no'."
The two of them, hand in hand, left cheerfully.
From a neglected corner nearby, a woman emerged, clad in rough cotton clothes with tightly furrowed brows and a very pale face. If Dongfang Jian were here, he would instantly recognize the woman's identity—Bai Mudan, Dongfang Jian's former wife.
"Dongfang Jian! Dugu Xiu!" Bai Mudan clenched her fists tightly; her eyes ice cold, biting her lip, she said word by word, "You just wait! Sooner or later, I will kill you! Kill you both!!" There was a time when Bai Mudan was a lively and cheerful girl; her father was the lord of a city, and she came from a distinguished family, living carefree every day. Sadly, all that was ruined by Dongfang Jian. He used despicable means to get Bai Mudan, then fell in love with another and divorced her while she was pregnant. Later, she lost the baby, which was the doing of those Dugu Xiu hired... One could say that Bai Mudan's life was destroyed by Dongfang Jian!
She hated!
Hated Dongfang Jian!
Hated Dugu Xiu!
And hated the injustice of the heavens even more!
She wanted revenge! A mad revenge!
A long time passed before Bai Mudan managed to calm herself; taking a deep breath, she turned and walked away. The wind blew through her long hair, her figure looking somewhat desolate from the back. Hatred was now her reason for living; she continued to live for the sake of revenge.
...
The sun had set.
Darkness had fallen.
Gao Fei, He Hentian, and Duanmu Hong, who had been waiting all day, could finally take action.
The three emerged from the cave and transformed into three shooting stars flying towards the Myriad Buddhas Sect.
"Once I have consumed the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicine, I can suppress the death Qi inside my body, and then I won't need to fear the sunlight anymore, and I will be able to move around during the day," Duanmu Hong said.
"Senior, rest assured, you will definitely get your hands on the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicine," Gao Fei said earnestly.
"That's right, the Spiritual Medicine of the Myriad Buddhas Sect is prepared just for you, senior," He Hentian resumed his flattery, "In this world, only the senior is worthy of consuming the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicine, no one else is suitable."
The three chatted while hurrying on their way and soon arrived at the Myriad Buddhas Sect.
"Eh? There seem to be very few people today," He Hentian looked up and saw only a dozen monks guarding the mountain gate, none of them highly cultivated; people like the Ancestor Tianji and Old Monk Hui Ming did not show up.
"They're probably scared off by our taunts," Gao Fei sneered, "too afraid to come out."
"Hmph!" Duanmu Hong snorted coldly, "Do you think by hiding and not coming out that you'd be safe? Wait here, I'm going to take a look around." Soaring into the sky, Duanmu Hong broke through the mountain gate and stormed into the Myriad Buddhas Sect, striking down all the monks guarding the entrance, and then began wreaking havoc inside the monastery…
"Demoness! Stop!" A group of elderly monks ran over frantically from a distance, with the old monk Hui Ming leading them, "Stop right now!!!"
"Bang!"
Duanmu Hong shattered a piece of stone, then shook off the injured stone dust, "You've finally shown your faces."
"Demoness! What on earth do you want!!!" Old monk Hui Ming bellowed angrily.
"You very well know what I want," Duanmu Hong said indifferently, "Annoyed with me, are you? Hand over the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicine and release Shangguan Yunyue, then I'll leave and promise never to come back."
"Absolutely impossible!" Old monk Hui Ming flatly refused.
"Then prepare to die!" Duanmu Hong's figure flickered as she charged towards old monk Hui Ming and the others.
"Everyone, don't panic, form the array to deal with this demoness... Ouch... my face... ow... my arm..."
"Bang bang bang..."
"Thud thud thud!"
"Boom!!!"
Duanmu Hong unleashed her divine might, causing old monk Hui Ming and others to scream miserably. Just then, a terrifying aura emanated from afar. Duanmu Hong was well aware that Xiao Zhu Tianji had appeared! After delivering several fierce attacks that pushed back old monk Hui Ming and his group, she turned and left the Myriad Buddhas Sect.
Almost immediately after Duanmu Hong left the Myriad Buddhas Sect, Xiao Zhu Tianji arrived.
"Demoness! If you dare, don't run away!" Old monk Hui Ming cursed loudly, "Our Xiao Zhu is here, if you have the guts fight with our Xiao Zhu!"
"Yeah, demoness! If you dare, come back!" The other monks also shouted loudly.
No matter how loudly old monk Hui Ming and the others criticized, Duanmu Hong did not return, infuriating them to the point of howling in frustration. Such an aggravating thing!
"Alright, now that I've drawn out Xiao Zhu Tianji, you can make your move." Duanmu Hong waved her hand towards Gao Fei and He Hentian, "Success or failure hinges on this one action, don't let me down."
"Watch me." Gao Fei stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Liang Feiqing! Liang Feiqing! Liang Feiqing!!!"
The monks of the Myriad Buddhas Sect were confused. Who is Liang Feiqing? Do they have someone named Liang Feiqing in the Myriad Buddhas Sect?
"You all must be curious who Liang Feiqing is, right?" Gao Fei said with a chuckle, "That's your Xiao Zhu!"
"What? Xiao Zhu's name is Liang Feiqing?"
"Is that true?"
"How did they find out?"
The monks of the Myriad Buddhas Sect buzzed with discussion.
Even Xiao Zhu Tianji showed a puzzled expression. Ever since he joined the monastery, he had not used the name "Liang Feiqing". Ten thousand years had flown by, and even he had almost forgotten it... He was puzzled about how the other party knew it. If they knew his layman's name, could they also know what happened in the past? As he thought of this, Xiao Zhu Tianji's expression gradually darkened.
"But there's something even more explosive coming up," Gao Fei continued, "This so-called Xiao Zhu is a despicable man, a lowly and shameless villain!!! In pursuit of immortality, he abandoned his wife and child and then angered his parents to death. Truly heartless and ungrateful!"
"Gasps!"
As this statement came out, the entire Myriad Buddhas Sect burst into chaos. Old monk Hui Ming and the others accused Gao Fei of spouting nonsense, fabricating facts out of thin air, and making things up!
