The cold jade sword in Yun Yan's hand became even colder after drinking blood. He took back the jade sword and looked at it carefully.
"It turns out that this spiritual weapon long sword must be controlled with the power of martial arts. Unfortunately, I know too little about swordsmanship and cannot exert the full power of this magical weapon."
However, Yun Yan looked at the unknown swordsman who had been killed by him, and he sighed helplessly.
"You made the first move, so I killed you. You can't blame me."
Just after Yun Yan finished saying this, a question suddenly came from the darkness.
"Are you doing this to feel at ease, or do you just want to make an excuse for yourself?"
Only then did Yun Yan become alert. It turned out that he had been here all along, but since he had witnessed all this, why didn't he take action just now.
So, Yun Yan pointed the tip of her sword towards the darkness in front of her right and asked.
"Why are you here?"
"Because the leader asked me to wait for you here."
As the familiar voice fell, a figure appeared in the darkness. He was Hu Ying.
Yun Yan was suddenly shocked.
"Maybe their plan was discovered by Jackal a long time ago, but before he met Du Mingyang, he didn't even know about the plan, so how did Jackal predict it?"
When Hu Ying saw that Yun Yan had maintained a defensive posture until now, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised him.
"Your sense of smell is very sensitive, yes, the jackal does want to kill you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yan replied in a cold tone.
"I'm not a fool, I already knew this."
Hu Ying immediately smiled.
"But he never expected that you actually wanted to kill him."
"Why can't I kill him if he can kill me?"
Hu Ying nodded in agreement.
"There is indeed no such reason, so if he really dies down there this time, it will be his fate."
Yun Yan heard some other meanings from Hu Ying's words, but he was not sure whether his guess was correct.
So, Yun Yan asked deliberately.
"Jackal once said that you are only responsible for delivering messages, so what's the use of him sending you to guard here?"
Hearing this, Hu Ying stretched out his index finger and shook it from side to side.
"You are wrong. I am responsible for delivering the message. The premise is that the jackal must be alive. If he is already dead, then I no longer need to keep this promise."
"Who are you promising to?"
"I'm against the master."
Hu Ying's expression was solemn, and it didn't look like he was lying, but Yun Yan still thought it was ridiculous.
"If you are really a person who values friendship, why would you just watch Jackal bully your master and destroy your ancestors, harm your fellow disciples, and even help him to do evil, and work together with him in embarrassment!"
Hearing Yun Yan's insults, Hu Ying's eyes flashed with sadness.
"These are probably what Ye Erniang told you."
"So what, is what she said wrong?"
Yun Yan was not trying to defend Ye Erniang, he just couldn't stand those guys with human faces and animal hearts, who always pretended to be sanctimonious in front of others.
However, Hu Ying was not angry because he knew the secret.
"Now Jackal may have a narrow escape from death, so I can tell you the secret about Ye Erniang."
Yun Yan asked with some confusion.
"Just because he narrowly escaped death does not mean that he is dead, but you choose to be indifferent, can I understand that you want to betray him?"
Hu Ying replied noncommittally.
"You can think so, but if he's not dead yet, then I can't do anything except deliver the message."
Hearing this, Yun Yan felt a little confused.
"You mean that if Jackal dies, you no longer have to keep the promise you made to your master, and if Jackal doesn't die, you won't plan to save him?"
"That makes sense, doesn't it? I
I believe even a jackal would think so. "
Hu Ying spoke confidently and without any hint of shame.
Yunyan sighed immediately.
"This is in line with your usual despicable behavior."
However, Hu Ying shook his head and explained.
"You only listened to what Er Niang said, so you think we are ruthless. But the actual situation is not what you imagined."
"Oh, are you trying to defend yourself?"
"No, I just want to tell this secret that has been hidden in my heart for a long time."
Yun Yan was not interested in the secrets that had happened in their sect at all. If it weren't for Ye Erniang's help, he wouldn't have bothered to listen to Hu Ying's nonsense.
So, Yun Yan said calmly.
"I hope you can make up a decent reason, otherwise, there is no difference between you and a jackal in my eyes."
"To make up such a fact, I'm afraid I can't even think of it."
Hu Ying replied with a smile.
"When I was brought to the heaven by my master, the two of them had not yet started, so logically I should be their senior brother.
But the master never accepted me as his disciple from beginning to end. The reason was that I was not good at killing, so the way of practice he taught me was how to survive.
Later, he chose Jackal from among the newly promoted predators and devoted all his energy to teach Jackal the way to practice. Jackal was indeed very impressive. He met his master's expectations in just a few decades. "
"What expectations?"
Yun Yan's intuition told him that there must be something fishy going on. Sure enough, Hu Ying's expression suddenly became a little strange.
He continued helplessly.
"I can accept the expectation of the master's inheritance, but somehow, just when the master was overjoyed and wanted to completely pass on his way of cultivation to the jackal, the jackal was inexplicably seriously injured during a hunting mission.
Since then, the master found that Jackal's foundation was damaged and could no longer inherit his practice, so he began to ignore Jackal and tried his best to find new disciples. "
Hearing this, Yun Yan had already guessed Ye Erniang's experience. It seemed that she should be the second apprentice selected, but Yun Yan didn't understand what the master and apprentice were doing.
"Is Jackal just jealous that Ye Erniang was chosen as the successor by your master, so he did this unscrupulous thing and deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors?"
Hu Ying sighed slightly.
"If it were that simple, then I wouldn't have to make up a lie to deceive you."
Only then did Yun Yan react, and he asked in surprise.
"Is there something wrong with your master?"
Hu Ying immediately nodded and replied.
"He has been practicing for nearly a thousand years, but he still cannot condense the heart of martial arts. When the end is approaching, he is unwilling to give up. He wants to continue his hard-won achievements in practice.
Therefore, he practiced an evil skill that could lodge in the soul sea of others. As the host's cultivation level became stronger and stronger, this skill gradually caused it to lose its nature, and was eventually killed by the host hidden in the soul sea. People are in complete control.
The master wanted to turn the jackal into his own substitute in this way, but his intention was accidentally discovered by the jackal, and the jackal was unable to resist at the time, so he could only endure the humiliation and destroy his own foundation. "
"So the jackal deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors for revenge?"
Although Yun Yan felt that this reason was far-fetched, based on his understanding of Jackal, he was a man who was determined to take revenge and was ruthless, so of course he would not care about his master's kindness to him.
However, Hu Ying shook his head helplessly and replied.
"If Er Niang hadn't appeared, Jackal might never have taken action against the master."
Hearing this, Yun Yan expressed doubts. He did not believe that Jackal would attack his master just to save Ye Erniang.
However, the fact was just as he thought, and Hu Ying continued with a solemn expression.
"Those ones
Nian Jackal was bedridden all day due to his serious injury, and his master refused to take care of him. As a result, no one in the entire sect dared to take care of Jackal.
But Er Niang is an exception. She has been different from the day she entered the hospital. When everyone was afraid of avoiding him, she dared to take care of Jackal.
Perhaps because the master's time was running out, he was eager to lodge in Er Niang's soul sea, so he did not blame Er Niang for this, but instead praised her for her pure heart. "
"So, the jackal did it?"
Yun Yan's guess was correct, Hu Ying replied.
"It was a quiet night, and the master had prepared everything. He lied to Er Niang that he wanted to help her break through the martial arts realm.
Er Niang was very happy at the time, so she obediently followed the master to the secret retreat. However, just when the master was about to invade his life soul into Er Niang's soul sea, the jackal appeared.
He couldn't just watch Er Niang become the master's substitute, but even though Jackal was very careful, he still underestimated the master's nearly a thousand years of cultivation.
At the same time as the jackal took action, the master stopped invading Er Niang's soul sea, but in a hurry, he was still seriously injured by the jackal.
Just in case, Jackal used all means, including hidden weapons hidden on his body and deadly poisons prepared in advance.
In the end, the master finally died in the hands of the jackal, but all this was seen by the newly awakened Erniang. "
"Therefore, Erniang Ye decided that it was the jackal who deceived the master and destroyed the ancestors, and killed your master.
But there is one thing I still can't figure out, that is, since Jackal was willing to take such a big risk to save Ye Erniang, it shows that he is very grateful for Ye Erniang's kindness to him, so why was he so ruthless to Ye Erniang later? "
Hearing Yun Yan's question, Hu Ying replied calmly.
"This has to talk about Er Niang's nature. She values friendship and is kind-hearted, but one thing is very troublesome, that is, once she decides on something, no one can change it, let alone what she saw with her own eyes.
Therefore, Er Niang tried to avenge her master through various means. In this way, she actually fought with the jackal for more than ten years.
It was precisely because Er Niang's constant provocations over the past ten years had finally wiped out Jackal's last shred of sanity, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore and took action against Er Niang. "
Yun Yan didn't know what Ye Erniang had done to Jackal in those ten years, but he didn't deny that human patience had limits, not to mention that Jackal was used to seeing blood and killing, so when When he is angered, he can do anything.
Hu Ying guessed Yun Yan's thoughts. He knew young people like Yun Yan very well.
"I know you will find this incredible, because you are as naive as the second mother back then.
But what I want to say is that the reason why Jackal attacked Er Niang was because she broke through Jackal's bottom line, which resulted in the destruction of her life and soul. "
Yun Yan asked with some confusion.
"What's the bottom line?"
Just listen to Hu Ying sigh and reply.
"The second mother should not touch Jackal's past, and she should not wantonly insult Jackal's dignity as a man."
