Xu Qing shivered. How could this strange monk be Huang Xianxian’s child?
Back then, in order to kill Huang Xianxian, he and his senior brother did not hesitate to subdue her with the soul flag. The village back then was also burned down by the heavenly fire. The thick ashes that piled up after the fire could reach one’s feet.
However, looking at Wu Ju’s cold eyes, Xu Qing knew that he was telling the truth. Xu Qing lowered his eyes. “Are you here to take revenge? You’re so powerful. Why didn’t you make a move earlier?”
Wu Ju smiled. “As a matter of fact, I did.”
Xu Qing was stunned. He looked up at Wu Ju and saw the killing intent in his eyes. He recalled the many times he and Xu Ran had narrowly escaped death.
Wu Ju said softly, “One year, you and Xu Ran were trapped in the snow and almost died. One year, you and Xu Ran were trapped in the stagnant pool and almost died. Another year, you and Xu Ran were trapped in the snow, but you still managed to escape narrowly. It happened too many times.”
Xu Qing’s memory was triggered. He looked at Wu Ju and felt terrified. He did not dare to look at him. This was too terrifying. He gulped, and his dry throat hurt.
He had never thought that his life and death encounters in the past were all man-made.
Wu Ju said it very calmly, as if it was something someone else had done.
Xu Qing felt the bone-chilling hatred emanating from Wu Ju.
“If you don’t die, I won’t be able to vent my anger.”
Many times, when he saw his enemy escaping death time and time again, he was furious.
Xu Qing was already in despair. His life was already in the hands of others.
Xu Qing recalled how tragic Huang Xianxian’s death was. He lowered his head. “I’ve already fallen into your hands. If you want to kill me, do it.”
In the past, he was able to escape death narrowly all thanks to Xu Ran’s Dharma artifact. He did not have a very powerful Dharma artifact. Now that he was injured like this, how could he have the ability to fight back?
Wu Ju sneered. “Of course I want to kill you, but not now. You two are always in pairs, so you naturally have to die in pairs.”
Xu Qing said with difficulty, “Are you going to take me to look for my senior brother? He’s hiding. I’m afraid it’s not easy to find him. I’m afraid I won’t be able to last until you find him.”
Wu Ju looked at Xu Qing. “You won’t die yet.”
Wu Ju reached out and pointed at Xu Qing’s forehead.
Xu Qing felt a sharp pain as blood surged in his body, but he couldn’t move.
He was afraid of the monk in front of him, but he relied on him to live.
A force was injected into his body. Xu Qing felt that his dying body was gradually reviving. He desperately wanted to absorb more power and looked at Wu Ju greedily.
Wu Ju’s expression was cold as he retracted his finger. After turning around, he said coldly, “Get up and follow me.”
Xu Qing wanted to say that he could not stand up, but when he moved, he realized that his stiff body was supported by a force. He looked at Wu Ju’s back and had the thought of escaping. However, as soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he felt as if thousands of steel needles were stabbing him. It was so painful that he immediately knelt down.
Wu Ju did not even lookback. He only let out a mocking laugh.
After a while, Xu Qing calmed down and followed Wu Ju.
Wu Ju’s hatred for him and his senior brother had been accumulating for many years. The time he had been waiting for had come. Before Xu Qing died, he would meet his senior brother again. Xu Qing knew that Xu Ran wanted to become an immortal.
However, Xu Ran would not succeed. Being able to see Xu Ran fail to ascend to immortality, Xu Qing could rest in peace.
On the second of February, people worshiped and prayed, but from all directions, countless black things flew over. When they got closer, people saw that they were black locusts, each the size of a thumb.
Waves of deathly aura swarmed over.
Liu Sanniang stood up and left the courtyard. She looked at the sky and frowned.
Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan also sensed the aura.
“Venerable, this…”
As living beings in the world, they all felt a strong sense of uneasiness. It was the sixth sense of danger.
The stronger one’s spiritual sense was, the more they could sense the danger.
Some people instantly burst into tears. Their hearts felt like they were being crushed by a heavy rock, suffocating and despairing.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu, go back to the capital.”
Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan looked at each other and saw the worry in each other’s eyes.
Liu Yuanyuan nodded slightly. “Okay.”
Hu Yu wanted to kick up a fuss to stay, but she looked at Liu Sanniang and could not bring herself to say it. She lowered her head. “Okay.”
Hu Yu felt terrible. She reached out and grabbed Liu Sanniang’s sleeve. “Venerable, can we meet again?”
For some reason, Hu Yu felt especially uncomfortable. She had the feeling that she would never meet Liu Sanniang again.
Liu Sanniang looked into Hu Yu’s eyes and smiled faintly. “Go back and wait for me. I’ll be back.”
Hu Yu nodded with tears in her eyes and whimpered, “Ok.”
Lin Jie stood beside Liu Sanniang with a calm expression. Unknowingly, he had grown much taller, almost as tall as Liu Sanniang.
Hu Yu cried, her tears rolling down her face. “Jie, you must protect Venerable well and take good care of yourself. I-I’ll go back and wait for you.”
Lin Jie nodded.
Hu Yu was reluctant to leave, but she still wiped her tears and left with Liu Yuanyuan. The two of them turned into two streaks of light and disappeared into the distant sky.
After Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan left,
Liu Sanniang said to Chu Yan, “What do you want to eat tonight?”
Chu Yan squeezed Liu Sanniang’s palm. “Anything is fine.”
Liu Sanniang smiled. “Then I’ll make some fish. We’ll set off tomorrow.”
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang with an extremely gentle gaze and replied softly, “Yes.”
Lin Jie remained silent and helped add firewood and start the fire. At night, it was very quiet. Lin Jie got out of bed, opened the door, and went out..
