Chapter 611: Chapter 271: Chaos Descends Upon the World

"What?!"

Ming Hu, a rough and bold person, disregarded the Zhenyang Sect disciples beside him and directly disclosed the news the Thunder Sword Sect disciples had gathered three days ago.

Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er’s eyes widened, and Mo Xiaolan was equally shocked.

Xia Qinglian’s killing of Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan was something she hadn’t even told Qin Gengyun, so Mo Xiaolan was naturally unaware of the inside story.

Upon hearing Ming Hu’s words, Mo Xiaolan suddenly felt an incredulous suspicion rise within her and instinctively turned to look at the room where Qiu Zhihe was.

Beside her, Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er exclaimed:

"Impossible!"

"You, you’re spreading lies! Junior Martial Uncle Wei and Junior Martial Uncle Shi are in seclusion trying to break through the Divinity Transformation Realm, how could they be dead?"

Ming Hu chuckled: "You are disciples of Zhenyang Sect, must know that Zhenyang Sect is filled with hypocritical and repugnant people... oh, excluding Junior Sister Su."

After clearing the name of Junior Sister Su, Ming Hu continued: "Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan were frightened out of their wits by Xia Qinglian on Celestial Ridge Mountain, they have no chance of progress in this lifetime, pretending to be breaking through the Divinity Transformation Realm just to deceive you newcomers."

Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er looked at each other, but remained skeptical: "You’re lying, it must be false!"

After the battle at Celestial Ridge Mountain, Zhenyang Sect’s Sect Leader Chen Qingmo was severely injured and went into seclusion, Ye Xiyue’s cultivation had plummeted.

Then Sang Yue and Zheng Shengmo fell one after another, leaving only four people, among whom Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan had the highest cultivation.

If they were really dead, Zhenyang Sect would indeed suffer a major loss of strength.

At that time, Thunder Sword Sect and Feiyun Sect would surely seize the opportunity to suppress Zhenyang Sect, and the throne of Leader of the Righteous Path would likely change hands soon.

Even worse, Zhenyang Sect might decline and fall, which wouldn’t be impossible.

The two girls turned pale, unwilling to believe Ming Hu’s words.

Ming Hu laughed heartily: "You sure are loyal to Zhenyang Sect. Let me tell you, this news was spread from towns under Zhenyang Sect’s jurisdiction; my master said there’s an eighty percent chance it’s true."

"If you don’t believe it, you can go back and ask Tantai Mingyue yourself."

Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er exchanged a glance, faces pale.

Mo Xiaolan remained silent; if this news was true, Zhenyang Sect would surely be thrown into chaos, and they might take the chance to investigate and find evidence that Sect Leader Chen Qingmo is the Spirit Corpse Mountain Master.

They could even uncover the entanglements between Cyan Lotus Sect and Zhenyang Sect from five hundred years ago.

Inside her body, the two legacy bones came from Sheng Tanglian, and the resemblance between her appearance and Sheng Tanglian’s statue was uncanny.

Mo Xiaolan also wanted to understand the reasons behind this.

Understand... what kind of person am I really?

Su Hongling’s eyes flashed fiercely: "What does father intend to do?"

Ming Hu chuckled: "Master said that Zhenyang Sect has been lording over us for too long; it’s time for a change."

Su Hongling sneered: "It’s long overdue."

Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er sat stunned, their faces vacant.

Hey, hey, we’re disciples of Zhenyang Sect here, is it really okay to discuss this in front of us?

Xu Caihe bit her lip, murmuring: "Could the world really be about to fall into chaos?"

...

At the peak of Danxia Peak, surrounded by celestial mist.

Su Xin walked into the fog, her steps staggering, unable to see the way forward.

After what seemed like an eternity, she finally saw a poised figure clad in white ahead, her heart leapt with joy as she rushed forward and knelt:

"Master, I finally found you!"

The figure in the mist lowered its head, its features somewhat blurred, speaking in a gentle voice:

"Xin’Er, you have suffered."

Tears filled Su Xin’s eyes: "Master, I have let you down, I am about to die, but I have one question to ask you."

The figure replied softly: "Go ahead."

Su Xin raised her head to look at the mist-shrouded face: "Master, is the Sect Leader truly the Spirit Corpse Mountain Master?"

The figure fell silent, and Su Xin’s voice trembled: "Master, what about you? Do you have something you’re hiding from me too?"

The figure remained silent, and Su Xin stood up, trying to get closer to see the face more clearly.

However, the figure kept retreating, and Su Xin chased desperately, finally catching up and grabbing its hand.

Suddenly, the mist dispersed, revealing the face.

Su Xin was stunned, her eyes widened.

"Sect Leader?!"

Before her was a face with sword-like eyebrows, elegant and handsome, but now it carried a sinister, cold smile, opening its mouth to spew rotting black mist.

"Ah!"

Su Xin abruptly opened her eyes, filled with terror.

"Awake, finally awake."

A clear and lively voice sounded in her ears, pulling Su Xin back to reality.

"Junior Sister He?"

She saw a smiling little face in front of her, it was Liu Su.

A familiar male voice sounded next: "Senior Sister Suxin, how do you feel now? Can you muster your spiritual power?"

Su Xin turned her head to see Qin Gengyun; she circulated her cultivation technique in surprise to find that her meridians, almost completely shattered by Ming Hu’s attack, had been restored, her spiritual power flowing freely.

"I’m not dead? My injuries... have healed?"

A cool voice spoke from another side: "We have been tending to your injuries for five days."

Su Xin was startled, turning to see Qiu Zhihe, she hastily said:

"Thank you all, Taoist Friends, for saving my life!"

But Qiu Zhihe remained expressionless, leaving Su Xin dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly coming to her senses.

Realizing she was naked, soaking in a tub of water, and Junior Brother He was right beside her!

However, Su Xin did not react like an ordinary woman with shame and panic; instead, she sank her body deeper into the water and looked squarely at Qin Gengyun:

"Taoist Friend Qin, for saving me, despite damage to your reputation, I am endlessly grateful."

Qin Gengyun was taken aback, then clasped his hands respectfully: "Thank you, Senior Sister Suxin, for understanding."

Five days ago, Su Xin was on the brink of death, Qin Gengyun didn’t hesitate to save her, not concerning himself about others’ opinions, even Qiu Zhihe, who was most jealous, did not stop Qin Gengyun from healing Su Xin.

Originally Qin Gengyun pondered how to explain to Su Xin after she woke, but he was surprised by Su Xin’s insightfulness.

Su Xin then addressed Qiu Zhihe: "Taoist Friend Qiu, for allowing your husband to save me this way, I will forever remember this kindness and favor. Upon returning to Zhenyang Sect, I will personally confirm with my master; if the Sect Leader is truly involved with Spirit Corpse Mountain, I promise to give you an answer!"

"But Zhenyang Sect’s disciples are innocent, I beg Taoist Friend Qiu not to implicate them."

Qiu Zhihe sneered: "How do you know Zhenyang Sect disciples are all innocent?"

Su Xin sternly replied: "Taoist Friend Qiu, you’ve been in Zhenyang Sect for two years, what you’ve seen and heard, are they truly all pretentious people and malicious deeds?"

Qiu Zhihe said nothing, and Su Xin continued: "Indeed, Zhenyang Sect falls short of its title as Leader of the Righteous Path, but the sect has tens of thousands of disciples, among them are many who sincerely seek the path, if Zhenyang Sect falls, what would become of them?"

Qiu Zhihe responded coldly: "The world is not only Zhenyang Sect, without Zhenyang, these disciples can join other sects."

Su Xin was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up, letting the water cascade from her body, solemnly bowing to Qiu Zhihe:

"If so, then I shall follow my heart, I will both investigate the wrongdoing within Zhenyang Sect and strive to maintain the stability of the sect. If I die by your hands in the future, I will have no complaints."
