Chapter 24 Past Events (Part One)

  Xueji regained control of her true energy and a figure landed beside her, a man shrouded in a layer of bloody light. Without turning her head, Xueji said, "Congratulations, Zhao Dazhu, on successfully refining the Blood Cloud Poison."

  "What about the Blood Jade?" Zhao Tangzhu asked coldly.

  "It has been taken away by Simen." Xueji also ignored this Zhao Tangzhu.

  "What about Yun Qingmen's little Daoist?"

  "Do I need to say more?" Xueji waved her hand and the chain flew back from the Temple of Earth, binding itself around her arm.

  Zhao Tangzhu said, "Xi Men Commander is cunning and unparalleled, and he also has the Seven Broken Flags in his hands. It's not easy to deal with him. Since we are surrounded by righteous people here, let's first return to report to the Sect Leader and then make a decision."

  "Yes!" Although they weren't from the same faction, Yuki was only a guardian of one hall, while the other person was the master of their own hall, so naturally they had to be more polite in their speech.

  Is it Lin Fan's karma for telling lies that led to Xueji defending him? Of course not, what kind of person is Xueji? A demonic sect's guardian who can kill people with impunity and not bat an eye. It's just that if it were Xi Men Shuai who took the Blood Moon Stone, she might be able to forgive him. But if it was Lin Fan who defeated her and took the Blood Moon Stone, then... Besides, Lin Fan has already run far enough, the Orthodox Sect is gathering at Jiulang Mountain, and she doesn't want to overstay her welcome and risk being surrounded by enemies again. Tonight, she's already been besieged once by the Orthodox Sect and knows what it means to be outnumbered.

  ……

  Seven Broken Flags, the Subduing Circle of Heaven and Earth were Ximen Commander's two greatest treasures. The ancient sword was only kept because it was the first sword his master had forged for him, so he had a sentimental attachment to it. Ximen Commander had always been in Western Continent, which was the territory of the Demonic Sect. He had never met any decent opponents and had become complacent. Only now did he realize that the Demonic Sect had spared him because they remembered his master was the former Demon King, although they had put out a warrant for his arrest, they had never sent anyone capable to capture him.

  Today, he had to use the Seven Broken Flags against an unknown figure from the Blood Shadow Sect, which made his master's death a reality, leaving him somewhat disheartened. He was a few steps away from reclaiming the Heart of the Blood Moon Stone, and quietly flew over the Jiulang Mountains, no longer provoking or going near the Lianhua Mountain, entering the Zhongzhou territory, heading west towards Xizhou.

  Lin Fan returned to Lianhua Mountain and asked: "Where is Master Gu Yan?"

  The white-clothed monk sitting in meditation replied: "I don't know, he said he'd be back soon."

  "Oh!" Lin Fan also sat down to eat, today at the market bought a lot of good things.

  At a distance of ten miles from Lianhua Mountain, under the mountain stream, an ancient rock stood in front of a man. The man asked: "Make your move!"

  "You are unkind to Yun Qing Men, I cannot be unjust to you." Gu Yan replied with a straight chest.

  The man nodded: "Yun Qingmen is still okay, at least he didn't let his son rebel against him."

  "What brings you here?"

  "I've come for the item, Bloodstone." The man said: "It's on your companion, go get it from him and bring it to me."

  "Why?" Gu Yan asked: "Why should I listen to you?"

  The man replied: "Otherwise I will go get it myself."

  "Alright, I'll help you get it, but you have to answer me, why did you betray Yun Qing Men and become the leader of Xue Ying Jiao?"

  The man was naturally the father of Gu Yan, and the master of the Blood Shadow Sect said: "There is no answer, you go get it or I go get it, choose for yourself. You should know that these people from Jiulang Mountain are not even worth my attention."

  "Wait."

  ……

  At dawn, Lin Fan shouted: "Where is the Blood Jade?"

  "Huh?" The other three immediately opened their eyes, and Ye Wushuang asked: "Did the Blood Nightstone get lost? I told you to hand over the Blood Nightstone to Master Gu Yan for safekeeping, but you didn't listen..."

  Lin Fan's eyes widened: "Bai Muc?"

  Bai Mu shook his head: "No one broke into Jiulang Mountain Range, did you drop it before you came back?"

  "Ah!" Lin Fan slapped his thigh, regretfully saying: "I've been had! Two nights ago, an animal stole my talisman paper and brush... That damned Xi Men Shuai has succeeded again." The same trick was used twice, this... Lin Fan wasn't angry about losing the Blood Moon Stone, because he didn't know its value anyway. What Lin Fan regretted was that he had been played by Xi Men Shuai, and it was with such an ordinary method that succeeded.

  Gu Yan said: "Just lose it then, no need for evil people to worry about it."

  Lin Fan said: "It's precisely because there are evil people who covet it that I think it should be a good treasure... Never mind, never mind, it's not my thing, it's not up to me, this is fate."

  After finishing, he rushed to Bai Mu's side and watched as Bai Mu divined. Ye Wushuang rolled his eyes in disdain. Just now, he said it was a blessing, but now it's not? Bai Mu nodded and said: "How can one know whether the loss of a horse is not a blessing?"

  Ye Wushuang chimed in: "It seems that Gu Yan's words were right, losing the Blood Moon Stone is actually a good thing."

  The old rock **corner of mouth**, as if wanting to smile.

  Lin Fan asked: "Why don't you just throw away your magic scroll?"

  "My law scroll won't get lost, unlike some people who had their yellow paper and brush stolen the day before yesterday, and then had their treasure stolen yesterday. Who knows what will be stolen tomorrow?" Ye Wushuang revealed a sharp tiger-toothed smile: "You guys think they'll even steal a person?"

  Lin Fan knocked Ye Wushuang's head, Ye Wushuang got angry. Lin Fan smiled: "Got knocked on the head yesterday, got knocked on the head today, don't know if I'll get knocked on the head tomorrow."

  Ye Wushuang stretched out her claws and pounced on Lin Fan, who dodged and weaved. The two of them tussled about like children at play. Normally, Gu Yan would cough once and say "Restrain yourselves." This meant that as disciples of the Yun Qing Men, they should not lose their composure in public. But today, Gu Yan's mind was elsewhere, and he didn't bother to maintain the sect's dignity.

  "Huh?" Bai Mu exclaimed in surprise.

  "What?" Ye Wushuang and Lin Fan stopped their horseplay and asked together.

  Bai Mudao said: "I calculated a divination for Ximen Commander, saying: Not in this mountain range, the clouds are deep and unknown. It seems to say that Ximen Commander has left the Jiulang Mountain Range."

  Lin Fan was furious: "Indeed, it's this despicable and shameless scoundrel."

  "Never mind, never mind." Gu Yan consoled and asked: "The treasure of the evil demon, let them fight for it themselves. Bai Mu, 300 years ago, in the great war of the evil path, the documents recorded that the living were scorched, why did you say that?"

  Bai Mu Bo read extensively, without leaving his door he knew the world of a thousand years. He said: "Apart from the twelve continents in the world, there are many other places. It is rumored that far, far to the west of the great sea, there are still living beings. But why are they called the Twelve Continents? Because within the Twelve Continents, the population is dense. The desolate lands occupied by the evil sects also have people living there, but relatively few, and no continent cities."

  "The heretic sect invaded Western Continent, and the first to bear the brunt was the Hundred Ghosts Gate. They slaughtered all living beings, creating a large number of white bone flags, trapping the spirits and souls within, and refining them into evil door treasures. The capture and killing of ordinary people were insignificant to the white bone flags, but capturing and killing cultivators, Buddhists, and spiritual beasts greatly increased their power. At that time, the demonic sect was ambushed and lost its footing, only able to defend itself. Western Continent's six counties were completely slaughtered at that time. There was also the Evil Cultivation Gate, which plundered boys and girls to refine elixirs and increase their powers. The Blood Shadow Sect was even more arrogant, directly invading Central Continent, slaughtering eight counties in one night, and creating the evil door treasure, the Supreme Nine Blood Formation Array, which has now become the Blood Shadow Sect's protective artifact. At that time, Yun Qing Gate received the report and immediately dispatched a large number of high-ranking experts to clash with the main force of the Blood Shadow Sect in Central Continent."
