I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 746

?746 14.22 Last Violet Star – At the dining hall part A disciple announcing the arrival of Yun Xiajie had been heard in the hall. It was loud enough for everyone inside to hear that someone else had arrived.

“Chun Hongyun-Jun has arrived!!!”

A graceful sound of normally paced footsteps was heard approaching the hall. Everyone’s attention had fallen to the door of the place waiting for the most distinguished guest to arrive. As expected the most eye-catching thing about this person is that pair of crimson eyes which used to be obsidian. No one knows why his eye color had changed.

A lot of cultivators had their own guesses but most of them believe that it was because of immense heartache after losing their destined Dao Companion before their oath of Dao companionship was officialized.

There is even a certain outrageous event that took place 5 years ago. During one of the banquets prepared by the Alliance Coalition, a certain drunk cultivator offended Chun Hongyun-Jun. This man’s end had never been forgotten by anyone in their cultivator society.

Rumors say that aside from that one person no one was allowed to call Chun Hongyun-Jun by his birth name. Even his biological brother, Yun Huaxia, is only capable of calling him by his courtesy name.

5 years ago...

At the golden pavilion of the Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect). At that time the usual conference for the allied great sects had just ended and everyone had the chance to enjoy the luxurious regale prepared by the wealthiest sect in the mortal realm which is the Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect).

.....

But during that time, a drunk cultivator that envied Chun Hongyun-Jun’s standing suddenly started babbling nonsense that he had regretted badly in his life.

The intimate way of calling Chun Hongyun-Jun’s birth name is something only the deceased Bai Wuan is allowed to do. Everyone in the hall can still remember that one incident that happened during one of the Discussion Conferences of the allied clans in which Chun Hongyun-Jun used to attend with his brother, Yun Huaxia.

One of the cultivators who hated and envied, the Eldest Senior Brother of the (White Frozen Water Sect) Bai Lengshui Sect, to the core got drunk during the banquet. They don’t know when the topic was moved to the deceased Bai Wuan. They only heard a short conversation.

The drunk Cultivator said with broken words: “Hic~ rumors say that~ the great Chun Hongyun-Jun got a close relationship with the Heixue Xuanzi-Jun (Bai Wuan’s infamous title: Black Snow Fairy)~~ How were you called by that damn Bai Wuan again? AH~ I’ve remembered! Xia! A’Xia... Hic! Dear A’Xia,~ Hahaha~”

Unknown to the drunk cultivator blabbering nonsense in the banquet, silence had longed ascended in the area. Everyone’s eyes kept wandering between the drunk man and Chun Hongyun-Jun whose face remained emotionless the whole time. A frightful silence engulfs the whole area only the current chief of the cultivation world, Jin Baihua [Jin Juhua Xianzi (Golden Chrysanthemum Fairy)] and Yun Huaxia [(Heavenly Cloud) Tiangshang Yun-Jun] dared to come over and mediate between Chun Hongyun-Jun and the drunk Sect leader of a small group of cultivators.

Jin Baihua smiled, “Okay! That’s enough. Chun Hongyun-Jun, please keep a deaf ear just this once.”

Yun Xiajie’s cold eyes landed on Jin Baihua making the latter’s smile twitch in instinctive fear. Even Yun Huaxia didn’t dare to stop his little brother, after all, what the man did is Yun Xiajie’s one and only landmine. The whole cultivation world knew that only one person is capable of calling Chun Hongyun-Jun’s birth name and that person is already dead. Seeing the coldness filling his brother’s eyes Yun Huaxia could only pull back his foolish young Sect leader, Jin Baihua away from the in rage Yun Xiajie’s sight.

But who would have expected that the drunk dead man speaks out of line once again?

“Hic! What is this? It’s not like I am wrong... Chun Hongyun-Jun only allows that damn demon to call his birth name. Dearie A’Xia~ Are you his fucking husband or something? Hahaha~”

Even Lu Yi who was watching the scene from a passer-by’s point of voice had seen Chun Hongyun-Jun holding his black sword paired with his cold expression and menacing aura everyone knew what he was about to do next. He would either kill the drunk man or do something else to him.

Without anyone daring to stop Chun Hongyun-Jun, everyone watched as Yun Xiajie pulled his black sword and cut off the drunk man’s tongue. When the cut tongue fell on the ground and a fountain of blood spurt out from the drunken man’s opened mouth and a silent scream and gory scene was witnessed resounding in the Golden Pavilion owned by the Jin Tiangui Sect.

“Your tongue hangs loosely. You don’t need it,” said Yun Xiajie coldly before walking out from the banqueting hall with a dark expression on his face.

After that one incident Yun Xiajie had never attended the Discussion Conference of the Alliance Sect coalition even once.

Because of that one night incident, the Cultivation circle learned that after the death of Heixue Xianzi and Chun Hongyun-Jun’s cultivation is the highest above everyone. He is the youngest Soul Transformation Cultivator in the peak realm. Because of that, a tacit rule within the Cultivation circle was known to anyone.

‘No one is to utter the Birth Name of Chun Hongyun-Jun!’

They were all fearful that they would just suddenly die under the blade of Chun Hongyun-Jun.

Chun Hongyun-Jun finally arrives at the hall where everyone had gathered. He bumps into his elder brother on the way and knew that the meeting was no longer urgent. An unknown cultivator had already saved Zhizun Daowang (Supreme Saber Monarch) [Lu Yi’s Daoist title] from death.

With his face devoid of emotions he stopped before the host of the house and cupped his hands.

“Greetings! Answering the letter of summons I, Chun Hongyun, had arrived,” said Yun Xiajie.

Lu Yi accepted his greeting and stood up to return the greetings. But he could hardly stand up on his own and needed someone to support him. This someone becomes Lu Er who was seated at the same table as he is.

Lu Er panicked and said, “Dage!? Please be careful.”

With the help of his younger brother, Lu Yi cupped his hands and officially greeted Yun Xiajie.

“Welcome to our humble sect, we would like to ask for Chun Hongyun-Jun’s help in eliminating the creatures in our Ancestral mound. We were told that those creatures had some connections with the Devil Race,” said Lu Yi.

Yun Xiajie asked, “How did you know that it was a creature connected to the Devil Race?”

“One of them morphed as an elder of our sect. He was captured by a kind Divine Doctor who had also helped cure my big brother. It was this bat-shaped monster that changed from its mortal form,” explained Lu Er.

Yun Xiajie looked at the huge bat monster frozen in a block of thick yet transparent ice.

“A bloodsucker imp. This kind of imp is indeed connected to the Devil race. Then Daoist Lu Wang must have been inflicted with death qi. The person who’s called a Divine Doctor must be extremely skilled to extract the death qi in your body.”

“I would like to check your current state.”

Lu Yi extended his muscled arm toward Yun Xiajie allowing him to check his pulse for him. It was also to check whether there is a remnant death qi in his body.

“Please go ahead.”

Yun Xiajie slightly nodded his head once before checking the pulse of Lu Yi as well as checking his overall state. After all, no one in the Mortal realm is capable of curing someone affected by the qi of the dead. After running his qi in Lu Yi’s body, he realized that there were no traces of death qi left behind in it. Only some remnants of ice elemental qi can be felt on Lu Yi’s skin.

Lu Er worriedly asked, “How is it, Chun Hongyun-Jun?”

“Except for some fatigue due to lack of life qi, he is completely healed,” replied Yun Xiajie as he pulled away the hand that checked Lu Yi’s pulse.

“I’ve felt traces of Ice elemental qi on you. Was Daoist Bai Ying the one who cured you?” Chun Hongyun-Jun asked Lu Yu.

Lu Er responded, “No, it wasn’t him. It was a rogue cultivator surnamed Hei.”

As he secretly observed Yun Xiajie’s reaction and saw that he had no interest in it as expected. Instead, this man was more interested in the situation in his Ancestral Graveyard.

Chun Hongyun-Jun asked, “I would like to know the location of the graveyard first. Would you tell me the coordinates?”

Both Lu Yi and Lu Er didn’t agree. The latter is worried as Yun Xiajie is his friend’s chosen Dao Companion while the former was in disagreement as he is his sworn brother, Yun Huaxia’s biological brother. He could never put his brother’s kin in danger regardless.

The Lu Brothers exclaimed, “No!”

“It is dangerous to go there alone! No one even knew what was inside the underground cemetery!” said Lu ER.

Lu Yi spoke, “You can’t go alone. At the very least bring the others with you. It is not your sole responsibility to fight a situation like this. Huaye would never allow you to go alone.”

Yun Xiajie spoke, “I will not personally go there but send someone to scout the area.”

“Zhi Yang.”

Once he called this name Zhi Yang appeared from his shadow and kneeled before him respectfully as always.

Zhi Yang said, “You call, my lord!”

“I would like you to investigate the exact number of enemies, their routes, and their race without letting them catch your presence. Are you able to do it?” asked Yun Xiajie.

Zhi Yue responded with confidence, “Please leave the rest to me. I already know the location. I shall take my leave now.”

“Go and be careful,” said Yun Xiajie.

Zhi Yue spoke, “Before I take my leave, I would like to inform the lord that my alter ego’s presence is within this Sect. If Yue’er is here means that Master is also here. Please look after him. He... He hasn’t been sleeping lately ever since he had descended. Please excuse me. I shall now leave.”

Only then did Zhi Yue once again disappear from the hall. Everyone in the room didn’t expect Chun Hongyun-Jun to have such a strong subordinate. Just the fact they couldn’t see through Zhi Yue’s cultivation is enough to show his strength.

After all, if one couldn’t see through someone’s cultivation meant that the latter is stronger than you are. Either that or the person possesses a treasure or capability to keep his cultivation hidden from the other’s eyes but this kind of treasure doesn’t exist in the mortal realm.

On the other hand, they also didn’t notice the split-second change of expression on Chun Hongyun-Jun’s apathetic face. Yun Xiajie tried to act as calmly as possible after hearing the words Zhi Yang had just reported to him. He then recalled that someone had cured Lu Yi of the death qi that invaded his body. No mortals had the means to do such a thing but if it was someone from the upper realm then that’s a different story. There are no mortals in the Heavenly Realm after all.

Lu Yi’s thoughts upon witnessing Zhi Yang’s sudden arrival and departure. He didn’t even know how he had done it. Much less to notice his presence in the room just now.

‘Who is this man called Zhi Yang? How can he be stronger than me and Huaye?’ Thoughts of Lu Yi.

Yun Xiajie asked after calming down. He tried to make his voice and tone as natural as before.

“Sect Master Lu Tian. You had just mentioned that a Divine Doctor who is also a rogue cultivator had helped you save Senior Brother Lu Wang. Is it possible for you to ask the person if he is willing to meet me?” said Yun Xiajie.

Hearing this question made Lu Er a bit uneasy but thinking of the ill fate between these two he couldn’t reject Chin Hongyun-Jun.

Lu Er spoke, “This... Please allow me to ask Brother Hei first. He doesn’t seem to want to be surrounded by a crowd. Would that be alright?”

“Yes. That’s okay. As long as I can meet him it should be enough,” said Yun Xiajie.
