There was a large rune array composed of tens of thousands of tadpole-shaped runes on the ground of the sacrificial altar. In the middle of the sacrificial altar, there was a huge cauldron. In the four corners of the sacrificial altar, there were four smaller cauldrons.
Many immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect looked a bit flurried. However, it was too late. In the blink of an eye, all of them had been fixed onto the bronze pillars. They couldn’t even move.
As the huge cauldron in the middle of the sacrificial altar and the smaller cauldrons in the four corners were lit, they gave out over 30 cm high green flame which looked like jack-o’-lanterns. As a result, the immortal generals’ pale looks turned green.
“What do you want? I’m the head of Yin-Yang Sect. Just do it to me. Let go all of them!”
After being fixed onto the copper pillar, Ying Canghai turned around as he exclaimed towards “General Manager Si”. Many immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect then fixated onto him with admiring looks as their eyes implied a piece of information——That’s our head!
“Shut up. It’s useless. None of the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect could escape, including you. All of you will become our puppets!” Zhang Tie said gloomily.
Although Zhang Tie didn’t know whether the old scores between Ying Canghai and Xue Yuxiu were true or not, Ying Canghai’s exclamation at this moment displayed more tricks than responsibilities. By saying that at this moment, Ying Canghai just wanted to show kindness to the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect and maintain his authority in front of them. If he had some methods to save Yin-Yang Sect, he didn’t have to wait until now. Zhang Tie was crystal clear about that as he let out a sigh inside. “The head of a sect has to be shrewd; but if he’s too shrewd, it’s never a good thing as he could barely have a deep sight. Given Ying Canghai’s deed, Zhang Tie realized that the catastrophe of Yin-Yang Sect is destined to happen.’
“Puppets? Can you make it a bit clear? Even if we’re going to die, we have to know the reason!” The beauty in red beside Su Haimei opened her mouth.
This beauty in red was Ying Feiqiong, a grand elder of Yin-Yang Sect, also the master of Ji Yuelan.
“Elder sister Ying, you’re poisoned by Golden-Soul Rune Virus. If you want to detoxify it, you have to accept the sacred sacrifice. After sacred sacrifice, you will not be able to control yourself…” A voice sounded in Ying Feiqiong’s ears from the gate. It was from Xue Yuxiu who looked a bit coquettish in brilliant black longuette.
In black longuette, Xue Yuxiu looked a bit resolute and beautiful as if she was offering a sacrifice.
With an icy look, Qian Changqing was with Xue Yuxiu, followed by two immortal generals in black robe. Zhou Baifei who was in the dungeon just now didn’t show up at this moment.
At the sight of Xue Yuxiu, all the other immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect were in an uproar. Qian Changqing appeared to be Xue Yuxiu’s subordinate as all the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect were gazing at Xue Yuxiu with different looks, some were shocked, some with red eyes, some clenching their teeth.
“Xue Yuxiu, traitor…” Ying Canghai swore at her loudly.
“Young sister Xue, why…” Ying Feiqing asked.
Letting out a sigh, Su Haimei gritted her teeth as she looked around. Closely after that, her face turned gloomy. As Zhang Tie didn’t contact her, she felt hopeless. However, she didn’t know that her despairing look was what Zhang Tie expected to see at this moment.
Xue Yuxiu ignored the responses of the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect. She just looked up arrogantly and mercilessly.
At this moment, Zhang Tie definitely didn’t hope to make any mistake. Given the shrewdness of Xue Yuxiu and Qian Changqing, if they caught sight of even a bit of hope on the face of Su Haimei, they would take precautions against her. By then, it would be more difficult for Zhang Tie to succeed. Especially Qian Changqing, Zhang Tie was not confident enough to kill this semi-sage level knight in a short period of time. As long as the battle between Zhang Tie and this person lasted too long or this person had countermeasures, it would be too bad for Zhang Tie.
Besides, Zhang Tie found that woman in blue whom Xue Yuxiu called younger sister Hua looked far more complex than that of Ying Canghai and Su Haimei. The woman wanted to open her mouth; however, she became hesitant as she looked ashamed, knotted and aggrieved. Closely after that, that woman turned around and took a look at some people on the bronze pillars——a son and two daughters of her and Ying Canghai. The family of five members was all immortal generals, also the No. 1 clan in Yin-Yang Sect.
“My respects to you, Grand Justice Qian and Elder Xue…” Watching Qian Changqing and Xue Yuxiu walking over here, “General Manager Si” hurriedly bowed to greet them with a brand smile, saying, “You’ve really come fast…”
“I appreciate your hard work, General Manager Si!” Qian Changqing looked around as he nodded satisfactorily, and said, “Have you prepared it well, General Manager Si?”
“Don’t worry, Grand Justice Qian, I’ve already prepared the Heavenly-Soul Incense!”
“Let’s start then!” After saying that, Qian Changqing turned around and took a look at Xue Yuxiu as his facial muscles slightly twitched, “Elder Xue, how do you think?”
“Let’s start then…”
“Fine!” Qian Changqing waved his hand while all the guards of Cyan Dragon Palace in the sacrificial altar exited. Two immortal generals in black robe on his side closed the gate as they safeguarded the gate like two door guards. Qian Changqing and Xue Yuxiu then walked onto the sacrificial altar together with Zhang Tie.
After entering the sacrificial altar, the two people didn’t talk to the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect anymore. Actually, they just ignored the responses of the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect. Nobody would talk with salty fish on the kneading board which was going to enter the pot.
“General Manager Si, please…” Qian Changqing made a hand gesture to ask Zhang Tie to start it.
Under the gaze of all the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect, Zhang Tie directly walked towards the huge cauldron that was giving out green flame in the center of the sacrificial altar. Then, he took a thumb-sized brilliant item out of a jade box and was going to put it into the green flame.
Right then, the beauty in blue skirt with a complex expression suddenly burst into tears. Watching Xue Yuxiu, she uttered, “Elder sister Xue, I know you hate me and Ying Canghai. It was Ying Canghai who leaked the whereabouts of Brother Luo to Force Emperor Immortal Palace. Ying Canghai was indeed the criminal who killed Brother Luo. It’s reasonable for you to take revenge on us. But why do you have the entire Yin-Yang Sect involved in this case? Even Brother Luo wanted to protect Yin-Yang Sect at the cost of his life. Among us, Brother Luo liked you the most. Even though immortal generals would die in the future. If you did so, how would you explain it to Brother Luo in the afterlife?”
“Nonsense! Hua Meijuan, shut up.” Ying Canghai roared as his face turned red at once, his voice much louder than before, as if he was going to charge at that beauty in blue; however, he couldn’t.
After hearing her voice, Zhang Tie stopped at once. Besides, all the other immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect became dumbfounded as they watched Hua Meijuan who suddenly exposed this news and Ying Canghai who lost his control at once.
Xue Yuxiu was also slightly moved; however, she still remained silent.
“Hahaha, interesting, interesting. I’ve not imagined that I could still watch such a good performance of Yin-Yang Sect at this moment…”Grand Justice Qian burst into laughter as he looked at the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect in a scornful manner.
“Grand Justice Qian…” Zhang Tie asked as took a look at Grand Justice Qian before glancing at the piece of Heavenly Soul Incense in his hand.
“General Manager Si, just wait for a second. We could barely see such good performance. Elder Xue must like to learn more about that…”
After hearing Qian Changqing’s words, Zhang Tie didn’t move anymore; instead, he just stood aside the bronze cauldron and watched the sudden internal strife of Yin-Yang Sect. At such a life-or-death moment, people would easily expose their good and evil sides.
“I didn’t talk nonsense. Ying Canghai, as we’ve been married for so many years, do you really think that I don’t know the evil things that you’ve done?” Hua Meijuan said as she watched Ying Canghai tearfully with hatred, love and mercy, “You always talked in your dreams. Sometimes, you said you were afraid of Brother Luo’s revenge in your dreams. I’ve heard them all. Do you think it’s necessary for you to continue your performance even now…”
Facing Hua Meijuan’s accusation, Ying Canghai’s face turned pale at once as his lips trembled. He couldn’t utter any voice.
Xue Yuxiu sneered miserably and distantly like broken ice as her voice sounded a bit cold, “At this moment, it’s useless for you to talk about this. Do you think I would let you go after hearing your words? Since Brother Luo died, Yin-Yang Sect had actually already perished in my heart. General Manager Si, let’s start…”
“Wait a moment!” Hua Meijuan watched Xue Yuxiu with tears as she said, “Elder sister Xue, no matter how you treat us, we will not complain about it. But do you really want to destroy the only descendant of Brother Luo in this world together with us?”
“What did you say, Hua Meijuan?” Xue Yuxiu finally changed her indifferent and calm look as she goggled at Hua Meijuan and quivered all over, clenching one fist, out of fury or shock, “You mean Brother Luo has a descendant in this world? Impossible! That’s definitely impossible…”
“Elder sister Xue, you’re not the only person who loves Brother Luo!” Hua Meijuan became composed as she said, “I know that Brother Luo loved you, not me, but I also deeply loved him. Elder sister Xue, you should remember the last experience that Brother Luo had in Dreamlike Valley before that task. I was on duty in Dreamlike Valley during that period. On that night, I found Brother Luo was mired in the dreamland of Dreamlike Valley. Therefore, I disguised as you and slept with him. As it was in the dreamland, Brother Luo didn’t recognize my real identity; instead, he mistook me as you. That night, I sensed that I got pregnant. I told brother Luo about that. Brother Luo asked me to give birth to the baby and name the baby Huaiyu. Elder sister Xue, do you know why brother Luo named it Huaiyu? Because he always took the one who slept with him that night as you. He wanted to remember you in his heart forever. Because we didn’t know whether the baby was male or female that night, we just gave it a name that was suitable for both male and female. Additionally, brother Luo wanted the baby of “you” and him to be the head of Yin-Yang Sect on behalf of him in the future…”
“Hua Meijuan, do you know what are you talking about…” Ying Canghai roared again as his eyes turned red. Green tendons bulging on his forehead, he growled like a wild beast getting injured; however, he was just fixed by the “animal clamp”.
In Ying Canghai’s roar, Xue Yuxiu and all the others of Yin-Yang Sect fixated onto the face of a male immortal general, the very person who called Jiang Ruoxin in the dungeon. At this moment, that person was also dumbfounded as he kept shaking his head and asking Hua Meijuan, “No, it’s not true. Mom, tell me it’s not true…”
“Huaiyu, it’s true. Your real name should be Luo Huaiyu; instead of Ying Huaiyu!” Hua Meijuan didn’t show any mercy to the responses of Ying Canghai and her son. She just revealed a dismal smile as she turned around and watched Xue Yuxiu, “I know I cannot match you. Previously I planned to scramble for brother Luo from you in this way. I planned to tell him about the truth after brother Luo finished his task and came back. After knowing that I got his baby, given his moral standing, he would definitely marry me. Unimaginably, it was Ying Canghai who came back. I know Ying Canghai always loved me; however, I’ve got the baby of brother Luo. The baby has to have a father when he came to the world; otherwise, he would be despised by the others. Therefore, I married Ying Canghai. Additionally, I wanted that kid to meet the will of brother Luo——become the head of Yin-Yang Sect…”
After hearing this story, even Zhang Tie was stunned. The old scores and love affairs in a sect was really amazing. Although people didn’t know how to recognize one’s real identity through judging his ears in Motian Realm, Zhang Tie could still make it. Only after taking a look at the young immortal general’s ears and Ying Canghai’s ears, Zhang Tie had confirmed that Ying Huaiyu didn’t have any kin with Ying Canghai.
Ying Canghai screwed brother Luo to death; however, he mistook brother Luo’s child as his own and brought him up. Even the child’s name was left by brother Luo. The karma was really hard to explain.
Over these years, Ying Canghai was always the most dignified person in Yin-Yang Sect. However, he became the most humble and poorest person in Yin-Yang sect at this moment.
Ji Yuelan, Jiang Ruoxin and their master Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong were all silent as they didn’t know what to say.
Ying Canghai’s roars and pants were reverberating around the sacrificial altar as if he was a wild beast.
Xue Yuxiu had already closed her eyes.
“Pah…pah…pah…” Grand Justice Qian clapped his hands as he said, “Splendid, splendid, it’s too splendid…” Grand Justice Qian watched Xue Yuxiu with a quirky look, asking, “Elder Xue…”
“Elder sister Xue…” Hua Meijuan screeched out of great grief.
“It’s too late to talk about that to me at this moment…” Xue Yuxiu opened her eyes calmly. After revealing a sneer, she told Zhang Tie, “General Manager Si, we’ve already wasted some time, let’s start…”
Zhang Tie didn’t speak as he directly put the Heavenly Soul Incense into the huge cauldron.
When Zhang Tie retreated to the outside of the sacrificial altar, a golden fog slowly rose out of the huge cauldron like fog…
