Chapter 151: Divine Scourge
Because it was the end of the month, the bright moon over Baicheng was so broken that it was almost invisible, Bai Muxue carried a lantern and walked towards the Nine Swords Demon Tower, and the pig-headed master Chu Yunchuan under the tower was staring at the spire with a heavy heart, and did not speak for a long time.
When Bai Muxue walked three meters behind him, he still didn't look back, and he didn't have the slightest vigilance. Bai Muxue knew what he was staring at, except for the Holy Mother in the tower, there was no one else in the tower who could make him trance-like, but Bai Muxue had no intention of accommodating his emotions, between heaven and earth, feelings are not the only thing, there are more important things than feelings that need to go to the other side.
Bai Muxue walked up to him, and after a moment of silence, she said solemnly: "Master, I have something to discuss with you." ”
Chu Yunchuan turned his head to look at her, and after looking at her for a while, he replied absentmindedly: "Let's talk about it in a few days." ”
"It's the right thing. "Thinking back to the fall of the Shendu, in one day, thousands of years of foundation collapsed, that was a bloody lesson, and now, Baicheng has also been attacked repeatedly, if you don't take precautions, it is very likely to follow in the footsteps of the Shendu. Bai Muxue said worriedly: "You just came back, you may not know that Baicheng has not been very peaceful recently, I have an ominous premonition, I feel that the recklessness next door is no longer the recklessness of the past." ”
Chu Yunchuan looked at her suspiciously, looking forward to what was going on.
Bai Muxue continued: "In the past two years, there have often been demon armies harassing in the border city, and the frequency of harassment has become higher and higher, and it has formed a regular state. That kind of eyeing is no longer the instinctive greed of the little monsters and beasts in the past, but an organized cross-border invasion, I suspect that there may be new forces rising in the wilderness, should we send people into the wilderness to investigate?"
Chu Yunchuan fell into silence.
The wilderness is the world of demon beasts, and it is also the location of the Heavenly Demon Palace, and the demon race and the human race are born mortal enemies, and it is common to violate the realm. Fortunately, there is a Nine Swords Demon Tower in Baicheng, and the little demons and beasts are a little jealous, usually just wandering around the border;
However, the current immortal martial arts world is already in chaos, and Bai Muxue's worries are not unreasonable.
"The fall of the Divine Capital is indeed an opportunity for the Heavenly Demon Palace to rise......" Chu Yunchuan frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "There is a lot of trouble right now, so you don't need to send someone to risk going to the wilderness, you just need to let the wind out, and say that I am in Baicheng." ”
"Well, with you, they don't dare to mess around. Bai Muxue smiled with relief, she had always been worried that Chu Yunchuan would not live in Baicheng for a long time, and now she felt that she was a little worried. "By the way, master, about Shendu...... We...... When are you going to take revenge?"
"......!" Chu Yunchuan didn't seem to want to talk about "revenge" in front of the Nine Swords Demon Tower, he glanced up at the top of the tower, turned to his side and said, "It's cold in the middle of the night, go back to the White Palace." ”
Some important people in Baicheng seem to have made an appointment, except for Ye Qing, who is on duty with the troops, the four pavilion elders, Sang Yao, and the eight guards are all waiting in the White Palace, and everyone sees Chu Yunchuan entering the hall and nods their heads to say hello.
"Everyone has a tacit understanding, sit. Chu Yunchuan walked straight to the throne of the city lord, like a king in the world, high above. He glanced at everyone's faces one by one, as if he had seen through their hearts, and said, "Don't mention the harassment of the border city, I'm not in the mood to talk about this today...... Now, I just want to know the truth about the destruction of the gods, who initiated the crusade back then?"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, all of them look at each other, and they don't seem to be willing to stand up and speak.
Chu Yunchuan locked his gaze on the most honest Qingdan Pavilion elder.
When the elder of Qingdan Pavilion came into contact with his gaze, he shook his head helplessly, and stood up and said, "Back then, when the Demon Emperor Nangong came to Baicheng to visit Mu Xue's injury at night, he said that it was ...... It was the feather-clothed fairy who took the lead in proposing to crusade against the Divine Capital...... Qing Dan carefully paid attention to the change in Chu Yunchuan's expression, and seeing that his face was really much more solemn, he hurriedly added: "However, as far as I know, it was Situ Sheng and Nangong Ye who issued the Immortal Martial Alliance book. ”
These words satisfied Chu Yunchuan's wishes, but they pricked Bai Muxue with a needle.
Qingdan knew that this was the inevitable result, so he deliberately cast a helpless innocent look at Bai Muxue, and seemed to say silently: "Miss, mourn." ”
For Bai Muxue, she already knew that this day would come sooner or later, and it was one thing to mourn or not. Although he doesn't have too deep feelings with the demon emperor's grandfather, he is his grandfather after all, and his grandfather led people to destroy his own master, no matter which angle he looks at, don't want to have a good life in the middle.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Muxue reluctantly expressed her heart to Chu Yunchuan: "Master, no matter what decision you make, I will support you...... It's just that...... Can you not let me participate in the revenge war of the Heavenly Demon Palace, I ......"
"You think too much...... Chu Yunchuan stopped and motioned for her not to interject, and then asked everyone sharply: "Woe to the sky! As far as I know, on that day, my Senior Brother Jiechen and Senior Sister Pingqi both went out of the customs and exterminated the cultists with their own hands! The matter should have come to an end, why did it invite the disaster of extermination?"
The crowd lowered their heads again, and no one dared to continue.
Until Chu Yunchuan's questioning voice sounded again in the White Palace: "Are they all dumb?!" The four pavilion elders invariably moved their eyes to Sang Yao and Bai Muxue, the two of them were first-hand witnesses, and they knew best what was going on.
And Bai Muxue looked at Sang Yao with a pleading gaze.
Sang Yao shook his head helplessly, and stepped forward and said, "When the two Immortal Venerables of Jiechen and Pingji went to subdue Kongming, the Feather-clothed Fairy once ordered to stop the battle, saying that the two Immortal Venerables were not allowed to do it again until they returned. It's just that...... Wu Wei may have been stimulated in the first battle, and his demonic nature was great, and after he urged the Ten Thousand Beasts Ding, countless demon beasts flew out and swallowed people when they saw them. In that battle, the gods fought against the disciples of the major popes, and there was no time to flee for their lives...... Almost ...... dead" When it came to the last four words, Sang Yao's voice trembled, not daring to recall the tragic situation of the day.
Chu Yunchuan's face had never been so ugly as it was now, he clenched his teeth, subconsciously slapped his palm on the chair, and said in a deep voice: "According to what you said, the fairy in the feather coat stayed at the scene at that time, could it be that even she couldn't stop inaction?!"
"......" Sang Yao shook his head and said regretfully: "The feather coat fairy is no exception, he was seriously injured by Wuwei, if it wasn't for Situ Shengji rushing back, I'm afraid it would be difficult to escape." ”
Seeing Chu Yunchuan's puzzled expression, Bai Muxue boldly added: "Master, didn't you see it at the time, after that idiot urged the Ten Thousand Beasts Ding, it was really powerful, and the two Supreme Elders of Jiechen and Pingqi joined forces and failed to defeat him. After Pingji was killed, Juechen didn't last long, and he said before turning to ashes...... Say...... Say you're responsible for the trouble of the gods......"
"......!!!" Chu Yunchuan raised his head and closed his eyes, even though he took a deep breath, he still couldn't dissolve the anger in his heart, and the green tendons on his neck were swollen and bulged high. The handle of the chair was subconsciously pinched into ashes by him, and he was silent for a while, he came to his senses and asked Bai Muxue in a low voice: "Where is he now?"
Bai Muxue shook her head and said, "For ten years, there has been no news of him. ”
"You don't have to blame yourself too much for this matter...... "Qingdan Pavilion elder comforted Chu Yunchuan: "As a master, it is within your duty to teach him skills and pass on his holy weapons, as for what fate and effect it will be, it is beyond your control, there are still unforeseen circumstances in the sky, not to mention the ...... of sentient beings."
"......!" Chu Yunchuan stopped and motioned to Qingdan not to say any more. He seemed to be exhausted, slumped weakly in his chair, raised his head and was silent for a long time, and muttered, "Let's all go back and rest, I want to be alone and quiet." ”
This night, Chu Yunchuan was completely sleepless.
Although he couldn't see the tragic situation at that time, through everyone's descriptions, coupled with his own understanding of Wuwei and Ten Thousand Beasts, he could fully imagine the scene at that time.
Wuwei's life experience has always been unclear, and the bloodline breath in his body is also extraordinary, and that demonic aura will skyrocket with the improvement of cultivation, once it gets out of control, the consequences can be imagined;
In the early hours of the morning, Chu Yunchuan deliberately went to Wuwei's room to find a few things he had used, and through the residual breath on the objects, he used the Heaven and Earth Net Technique to search for Wuwei's whereabouts, but the result was in vain. This shows three possibilities: one is that Wu Wei is no longer in Tianshuxing, the second is that Wu Wei has died, and the third is that Wu Wei has enough ability to completely hide his own breath.
The first two are unlikely.
But the third possibility is precisely the result that Chu Yunchuan is most worried about. The depth of the hidden breath depends on his own cultivation strength, and Wuwei can avoid Chu Yunchuan's search, which is enough to show that his strength is enough to compete with Chu Yunchuan.
Chu Yunchuan didn't see Wuwei becoming stronger, to be exact, he hoped that his first disciple could become a supreme figure who was proud of all beings; at the moment, he was just a little worried, worried that Wuwei would fall into the demon abyss, and fall deeper and deeper, and he would not be able to turn back in the future.
