Chapter 183 Zhu Jingyi's Unparalleled Attack! Helian Shiyue, seemingly resurrected!
Silence fell upon hearing this.
Both Hua Shisan and Zhu Jingyi looked at Lu Qinghan with astonishment.
They never expected that Lu Qinghan had summoned them for this very reason.
However, can such things be discussed openly?
But Lu Qinghan did just that.
This made it difficult for the two of them to discern what the other was thinking.
Does this mean they're not going to fight anymore?
Upon hearing this, the hot-tempered Zhu Jingyi immediately sneered:
"Hehe, Uncle Lu, this is the last time I'll call you Uncle Lu."
What trick are you planning to pull now?
Is the strategy of retreating to advance?
Or perhaps they wanted to lower our guard and assassinate Zhou Tianjian?
I don't believe you can't see what kind of person Xia Xiangtian is!
He's nothing but a hypocrite who's good at hiding his true nature, cruel and ruthless, but also adept at disguising himself!
If he were to succeed as sect leader under such circumstances, the Nine Hua Sword Sect would surely be destroyed!
Even so, you still want to elevate Xia Xiangtian to the position of sect leader.
I'm telling you, Lu Qinghan!
impossible!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Shisan quickly said, "Senior Sister, no, Uncle Lu is an elder, how can you..."
Zhu Jingyi wasn't that angry at first, but after hearing Hua Shisan's words, her anger flared up instantly.
He turned to Hua Shisan and yelled, "Hua Shisan! Do you even have a brain?!"
Don't you know how many times that old geezer Lu Qinghan has tricked you?
You can't do this, you can't do that.
I don't think you're any better!
If you knew it was wrong, why didn't you stop me when I was speaking?
Once I've said what's on my mind, you won't be able to go on anymore!
No wonder you have such great talent but can't cultivate as fast as I can!
With your indecisive personality, you'll never break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage in your entire life!
Zhu Jingyi unleashed her full power, launching indiscriminate attacks on the two of them, making her face turn red with anger.
Hua Shisan's face flashed with embarrassment, because Zhu Jingyi was right.
The reason I didn't stop him was because Zhu Jingyi had spoken his mind.
I originally thought the two of them were in cahoots and that my senior sister would give me face.
Who knew they would even insult themselves?
For a moment, the dignified third patriarch of the Nine Hua Sword Sect, the master of the Azure Sea-Stabilizing Sword, Azure True Monarch, was speechless.
He could only cough twice, look up at the starry sky, and try to appear calm.
Lu Qinghan looked at Zhu Jingyi, whose chest heaved with anger, and then at Hua Shisan, who was speechless after being scolded.
He couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
The cheerful voice echoed continuously atop Sword Mountain, lingering for a long time.
Zhu Jingyi frowned slightly and said, "What's so funny?"
Lu Qinghan stopped laughing, but couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and replied:
"Jingyi, now I understand why my junior sister liked you so much back then."
However, this time I'm telling the truth.
From now on, Xia Xiangtian will no longer compete with Zhou Tianjian for the position of sect leader; he only asks that you spare his life.
I only have this one apprentice left.
When he said the last sentence, Lu Qinghan's face darkened, his voice trembled, and regret showed in his eyes.
Then, surprisingly, he bowed slightly to Zhu Jingyi and Hua Shisan and performed a fist and palm salute.
Hua Shisan quickly dodged and stepped forward to try to straighten Lu Qinghan's body. He used all his strength, even breaking the ground of the pavilion under his feet, but it was still of no use.
"Uncle-Master Lu, what are you doing? This is against the rules!"
However, Zhu Jingyi merely glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Hmph, hypocrite!"
Lu Qinghan ignored Zhu Jingyi's words and slowly said, "I know that in recent years, in the struggle for power and profit, many people in the Jiuhua Sword Sect have died, and even the death of your master is related to me."
You're angry with me, and I have nothing to say.
But of my five disciples, only Xia Xiangtian remains. Therefore, I hope that you will ask Tianjian to spare his life in the future.
Upon hearing his master's name, Hua Shisan's gaze towards Lu Qinghan turned hostile, and he replied coldly:
"Uncle Lu is joking. Uncle Lu's cultivation is profound. With you protecting him, my senior sister and I can't touch him."
Moreover, we are currently facing the danger of our sect's annihilation. Isn't it too early to be thinking about these things now?
Seeing Hua Shisan's sudden change in attitude, Lu Qinghan gave a wry smile.
He sighed, "It's too late, because I... am about to die."
"What a joke, Lu Qinghan! You are 873 years old now, and you have at least 80 years left before your death. If you have some rare and precious materials that can extend your lifespan, we might not even outlive you! Saying that is just too ridiculous!" Zhu Jingyi didn't believe this at all.
"Hehe." Lu Qinghan shook his head and said:
"I'm not talking about the end of the road, but the Soul Devouring Cult. The leader of the Soul Devouring Cult is currently using the Blood Spirit Pearls he has collected over the years to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage."
"How do you know? Why would the Soul Devouring Cult tell you something like this!"
Seeing Zhu Jingyi's questioning expression, Lu Qinghan's face turned cold, his fingers clenched so tightly they turned white, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.
His eyes were icy cold as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly:
"Because the leader of the Soul Devouring Cult is He-lian-shi-yue!"
When he uttered that name, Lu Qinghan's face was filled with murderous intent!
"What! Helian Shiyue! Wasn't she dead eight hundred years ago?! How is this possible?!" Hua Shisan was shocked and involuntarily took a few steps back!
Helian Shiyue was born into the Helian family, which was one of the most powerful families within the Jiuhua Sword Sect at the time.
The clan has two half-step Nascent Soul experts!
At the same time, she was also the fiancée of Lu Qinghan, who was then the young sect leader.
However, all of this changed the day after Lu Qinghan and Helian Shiyue got married.
At that time, in order to help their ancestor break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the Helian family found a poison called the Nine Netherworld Poison of the Yellow Springs.
This poison is colorless and odorless, yet it can kill even Nascent Soul cultivators.
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have no chance of discovering it without careful investigation.
They wanted to poison Lu Qinghan's master and steal the Nascent Soul Pill!
Later, on the second day of the wedding, Helian Shiyue took the opportunity of toasting the elders to give Lu Qinghan's mid-stage Nascent Soul master this poison.
No one expected that the Helian family would launch an attack on such a joyous occasion!
However, to the Helian family's surprise, Lu Qinghan's master possessed a fourth-grade superior antidote pill. Although it could not completely neutralize the Yellow Spring Nine Nether Poison, it could suppress it for a few years.
The consequences for the Helian family were predictable.
A Nascent Soul cultivator's wrath can cause the deaths of millions!
The entire Helian family was executed.
Lu Qinghan also personally killed Helian Shiyue, because if he didn't kill him, he would not be able to succeed as sect leader.
Although he was killed, they were still husband and wife. With the consent of his master and the elders, Helian Shiyue's body was not burned, but buried at the foot of the mountain.
Lu Qinghan never imagined that the woman, whom his master, the elders, and he himself had all confirmed was dead, would reappear before him!
At this moment, is Helian Shiyue of the Soul Devouring Cult the same Helian Shiyue he knows?
If so, then it is a resurrection from the dead, an act defying the heavens!
If not, then he must be possessed by a demon, but in that case, how would he know about the things that happened eight hundred years ago!
Can the memories of the dead be captured?
How could such a method possibly exist in this world!
This left Lu Qinghan in a state of utter confusion, but it was undeniable that Helian Shiyue at this moment did indeed possess the strength to severely injure the Nine Hua Sword Sect!
