The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Chapter 273 - Taixu, The Origin Of The Karmic Knot

A while later, at the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, Middle Peak Courtyard.

Lei Wanjun, wearing the robe of the Black Star Sect, landed outside the courtyard gate, looked at the Elders of the Sword Sect who greeted him, and cupped his hands in salute. After exchanging pleasantries, he walked along the courtyard led by two Sword Sect disciples, heading toward the main hall.

The golden parrot originally hovering in the sky, flew in through the open gate, landed on his shoulder, and pecked the side of his head with its beak.

A vein popped on Lei Wanjun's forehead, but knowing that this was that old woman Si Xuanji's favorite bird, he had to put up with it.

A year ago, Dragon House was infiltrated by demonic cultivators. Since he was in charge of the lands bordering the Western Region, it was only natural for him to be sent as punishment to the western frontier to breed the Flood Dragons who lived there.

In other words, he was a diligent little bee, going back and forth between the male and female dragons, fetching and delivering their essence. Moreover, the Flood Dragons had to be groomed to get into the proper state to collect sperm and fertilize.

After doing this for more than half a year, he thought he could finally finish his work and return to the Black Star Sect. However, Mrs. Si sent another letter and asked him to rush to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.

As for what to do in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, of course, it was not to congratulate Yun Tianchong.

Hundreds of years ago, at the Immortal Sects Conference, Yun Tianchong's son called Si Xuanji "little doxy" in front of thousands of Immortal cultivators.

This incident left a deep mark on the relationship between the Black Star and Moon Shadow Sword sects.

Although it was said in the four regions that Si Xuanji did not hold a grudge and did not take it seriously, most of the veteran Elders of the Black Star Sect knew very well that Si Xuanji was already in a menopause-like state at that time and had a very explosive temper. So explosive that she wanted to kill Yun Tianchong and his useless son with her own hands.

The person who persuaded Si Xuanji was Master Taixu, Si Xuanji's favorite disciple at the time.

She interceded for Yun Tianchong and knelt in front of Si Xuanji's door for a month, which made Si Xuanji feel helpless and sorry for her, so finally, she agreed to her request.

But after that, Yun Tianchong never came to the Black Star Sect again and never sent a letter to Master Taixu, as if he had forgotten her.

Taixu was lovesick. Hearing that Yun Tianchong went back to marry another cultivator after she begged mercy for him, she left the Black Star Sect resolutely and found a mountain to live in seclusion. She indulged in gambling and drinking all day long, which ruined her path to immortality.

Whenever Lei Wanjun thought about it, he felt a deep regret.

If Master Taixu had not been trapped by love back then...

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

Who would have thought that a gifted, intelligent, and articulate girl would turn out like that?

Anyway, this was a private matter between Taixu and Yun Tianchong, and it was not his turn to judge.

He came here for two purposes.

One was to convey Matriarch Si's words.

The second was to send Feng Yu Die, Pei Lianxue, and Ye Anping back safely.

It seemed that Si Xuanji divined in the stars and realized that something big was going to happen to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect. Worried that Feng Yu Die and the others wouldn't be able to handle it, she asked him to go there and help.

After walking through a hundred-foot corridor, the two disciples leading him stopped in front of a waterside pavilion. "Senior Lei, Patriarch Yu and the two Young Ladies are already waiting inside."

"Thank you."

Lei Wanjun nodded in response and pushed the door open.

Then, he froze.

There were three wheelchairs, one large and two small neatly lined up in front of the main seat.

This family was too neat and orderly.

Yun Tianchong cupped his hands and saluted with an embarrassed look on his face. "Elder Lei, you traveled a long distance, and we didn't greet you properly. Please forgive me for not being able to get up and salute."

"No problem."

Lei Wanjun glanced at Yun Xi, who was the most seriously injured, and said, "To make a long story short, I'm here to pick up three people and pass on an object and a few things sent by the Immortal Matriarch."

"The Matriarch..." When Yun Tianchong heard the name, he was obviously a little tense, then asked nervously, "Is she still brooding about what happened a hundred years ago? I am willing to come to apologize in person..."

With a dark face, Lei Wanjun took out a wooden box from the storage bag and handed it to him.

Yun Tianchong was a little confused looking at Lei Wanjun's face. He slowly opened the latch of the box and saw half of a jade pendant inside. After thinking for a while, he remembered. "I gave this to Taixu..."

"Taixu's lifespan had ended and she passed away three years ago."

"..."

"The item has now returned to its original owner." Lei Wanjun frowned slightly. "In this way, half of the karmic knot is settled."

Yun Tianchong heard the unspoken accusation against him, and he was silent for a while before asking, "So, the other half..."

"Taixu took in a little girl as her successor. She adopted and raised her as her biological daughter. She's grown up now."

"The Immortal Matriarch wishes for me to continue the teachings on behalf of Taixu?"

Rumble---

A thunderbolt flashed across the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, and the roar echoed across the entire country.

With a displeased look, Lei Wanjun frowned and interrupted. "I hope you can apologize to that child."

Yun Tianchong pursed his mouth, nodding. "Since it is the request of the Immortal Matriarch, I will naturally comply with it. May I ask where that disciple is?"

"She should be here, in your Sword Sect. Her name is Feng Yu Die. Her silver hair should be very conspicuous."

"Feng..."

Yun Tianchong remembered that when Jiujiu kicked him, it seemed that she also pronounced that name. He guessed that it was related to this matter and turned to look at Yun Yiyi. "Yiyi..."

"Father, Miss Feng left the Sword Sect a few days ago, and by this time, she must have already crossed the northwest boundary, returning to the Western Region."

Lei Wanjun raised his eyebrows. "They left?"

"Elder Lei, they have indeed left, leaving only a few letters of farewell."

"This is strange." Lei Wanjun raised an eyebrow. "The Immortal Matriarch observed the celestial map and the movement of stars and said that the relationship between Taixu and you might cause a great disaster, so she asked me to come over. How... Is this... a miscalculation? Has there been any change in the Sword Sect recently?"

"If there was a change..."

Yun Yiyi glanced at Yun Tianchong and said bluntly without hiding anything, "A few days ago, an Elder of the Sword Sect revived Yun Kunwu with a demonic body, causing chaos in the forbidden area. My third sister and I are now in wheelchairs because of this incident, but later, Yun Kunwu's soul was destroyed by Elder Tianxing's True Treasure. I've stored the recordings of this incident in the Sword Pavilion. Elder Lei, if you need it, you can go to the Sword Sect's Sword Pavilion to check it out."

Hearing this, Yun Tianchong widened his eyes. "Yiyi, what are you saying..."

Rumble---

A thunderbolt split the clear sky above the Sword Sect, and everything was instantly covered with black clouds. Lei Wanjun looked at Yun Tianchong with wide eyes, thinking he must have heard wrong. "Master Yun, after Yun Kunwu brutally killed the Young Master of the Bright Star Sect at the Immortal Sects Conference, you claimed that you would kill Yun Kunwu with your own hands. Can you tell me why Yun Kunwu was still alive until now?"

"This..." Yun Tianchong was speechless. Since the matter had been exposed, he quickly lowered his head. "I have originally imprisoned his soul in the forbidden area of the Sword Sect, thinking that after a hundred years, he could reflect upon his wrongdoings and make amends. Elder Lei, Kunwu, like my master, had the body of the sword heart, which can only be found once in thousands of years..."

"So you thought you could deceive all the Immortal Sects? Claiming to have personally destroyed his soul, but leaving that evil beast to live to this day?"

"..."

Yun Tianchong was embarrassed and looked reproachfully at Yun Yiyi as if asking: Yiyi, how could you say this in front of outsiders?

However, Yun Yiyi merely glanced at him before she bowed her head and replied, "Elder Lei, everything was my father's fault. The father's debt is repaid by his children. I will take my two younger sisters and personally go to the Bright Star Sect to kneel and apologize. Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely repay this debt and bring closure to this matter."

Lei Wanjun squinted his eyes slightly, staring at Yun Yiyi who was facing his terrifying gaze. Although he could see that this girl was quite scared now, her eyes were much more sincere than that of Yun Tianchong.

The dark clouds over the Moon Shadow Sword Sect gradually began to dissipate. Lei Wanjun shook his head and turned around. "Master Yun, take care of yourself."

The golden parrot standing on his shoulder also repeated his words. "Take care of yourself! Take care of yourself!"

Then, the man and the bird went out the door and left.

After Lei Wanjun left, Yun Tianchong looked at the half jade pendant in his hand. He was lost in thought for a long time before he raised his head and looked at Yun Yiyi. "Yiyi, how could you do such a thing just now..."

"Father." Yun Yiyi's eyes were cold as she said, "Look at your other side."

Yun Tianchong looked to his left and saw Yun Xi, wrapped in bandages, staring at him as if she wanted to kill him.

"Xi..."

Yun Xi interrupted him. "Damn you!"

"Dad, Xi, Jiujiu, and I almost died at the hands of your lousy son. Even Elder Tianxing spent a hundred years of real energy to solve this matter. You take care of yourself now."

"..."

"Someone, come and send Third Miss and me back home."

Two Sword Sect disciples walked in from outside the house, came behind Yun Yiyi and Yun Xi, and pushed them out of the house. Yun Tianchong was left sitting alone in a luxurious wheelchair inlaid with gold and jade, looking at the departing figures of his two daughters with a dull expression for a long time.

... ...

At night, Dr. Zhang from the Middle Peak came to see him. He took off Yun Tianchong's pants, checked it out, and inquired about it. After squeezing it, he shook his head. "Sigh -- Patriarch Yun, this is beyond my medical skills. I feel really helpless. The man's testicles are where the yang soul gathers and are also called secondary golden pill or silver pill. If the golden pill is completely broken, a cultivator will be almost powerless. The same is true if the silver pill is broken.

"... Is there no way at all?"

"There is a way, but..." Dr. Zhang stroked his beard and said, "I heard that the Bright Star Sect has a pill that can reshape the body without any side effects, but it is a unique secret recipe that will not be passed on to outsiders. You can ask the Patriarch of the Bright Star Sect if he is willing to help..."

"Bright Star Sect..." Yun Tianchong grimaced. How could he dare go to the Bright Star Sect to ask for medicine now? "Only the Bright Star Sect has it?"

Dr. Zhang shook his head with a sigh. "I heard that there is a unique spiritual herb from the Bright Star Sect in this pill. It only grows there. It can reshape and strengthen the body, and it's extremely rare. Moreover, I am one of the top ten immortal medics in the four regions. Since I can't do anything, I am afraid that no one else in the world can cure you. The Second Young Lady was really ruthless."

"..."

"Patriarch, my condolences."
