Lai Wu was caught off guard and retreated sharply, leaving a trail of blood on the snow. Lai Wu covered his wound with his hands and stared at Linghu Yuan with a knife-like gaze, "Why are you doing this?"
Linghu Yuan responded coldly, "You have done a good thing and you still pretend to be innocent?"
Faced with the sudden change, Murong Yue and Bingqing were stunned and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"You want to devour the "Four Soul Sutra" for yourself, I have not wronged you, right?"
"You're such a mouthful!" Lai Wu scolded angrily.
"People say that Miao Gong Lai Wu has a photographic memory. You deliberately delayed the time, but in fact you have memorized the entire scripture by heart."
This time Lai Wu did not deny it, "I have read the scriptures. They were obtained through bloodshed. I have the right to read them."
"But you tore off the most critical part. Now you are the only one who has the full text of the "Four Soul Sutra", and all you have given us is a fragmented copy."
Bingqing heard this and hurriedly opened the brocade box and turned to the end of the scripture. Sure enough, several pages of silk had been cut out.
"But when I looked at it, the last few pages were gone."
"It's nonsense. The following pages are the ancestor's annotations to the "Four Soul Sutra". It is said to contain the spiritual power of the transcendent soul and is the most essential part. You must be aware of this, so you take it as your own. "
Laiwu suddenly looked relieved, "Everyone, didn't you notice? This is obviously a counter-intentional plan by the witch to lure us into killing each other."
The more he asked with his eyes, the more silent he became. Bingqing said, "I think Brother Linghu's words are more credible."
Lai Wu sighed: "I want to see Brother Yu and ask him to make a clear decision on this matter."
Linghu Yuan laughed and said, "Don't you understand? This is all arranged by Brother Yu in advance. He is afraid that you, an outsider, will have other ideas, so I should be on guard at all times!"
Murong Yue also sorted out his thoughts and showed his weapon, "Lai Wu, hand over those pages of scripture. The matter can still be discussed. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Lai Wu was so angry that he looked up to the sky and smiled, "This is the so-called uprightness of a well-known family. They want to incriminate others, they are despicable and shameless!"
The louder he yelled, "Lai Wu, don't engage in unnecessary fights. You are injured and you are no match for the three of us."
Lai Wu sneered: "Come on, kill me and you will get the answer you want."
He flew away, and the three of them chased after him. When they reached the cave behind, Lai Wu ducked in, and there was a burst of laughter: "Murong Linghu, you despicable villain, if I don't die, I will make you pay a heavy price..."
Linghu Yuan gritted his teeth helplessly and said: "The "Four Soul Sutra" must not appear in the world and cause disputes in the world. It would rather be destroyed!"
He threw a few "explosive pills" casually, and there were explosions one after another, smoke and dust filled the air, and the cave collapsed...
The three of them returned to the other courtyard, and Linghu Yuan burst into tears, "Brother Lai went deep into the tiger's den alone to obtain the "Four Soul Sutra". Unexpectedly, he was plotted by the dragon girl, fell into the trap, and unfortunately died."
He burst into tears, and the performance was real. He was heartbroken and asked: "Where is he buried? I want to pay homage to Brother Lai."
"When we rushed to rescue him, Brother Lai had already died of his injuries. The machine exploded and the cave collapsed, leaving no trace of his body."
I was so distraught that I had no choice but to do anything.
"Let's leave quickly. The dragon girl is hiding her whereabouts and may cause trouble. I suggest using the 'Sirian Wolf Formation' to seal the valley to avoid future troubles."
"But the formation has to be sealed from the inside, and we can't escape at all."
Linghu Yuan turned his fingertips and took out a few pills, "Here are three transformation pills, which can transform into human form. We will teach them our skills and let them complete the seal from the formation..."
After a long journey back to Songyue Villa, Murong Yuo was seriously injured. The owner of the house used many treatments to stabilize his condition.
Although they won the battle at Tianjian Peak in the end, they suffered heavy losses. The head of the family specially compiled a book to explain the situation to the relevant sects and express his condolences.
For half a month, the haze has not dissipated, and Bingqing's heart is filled with depression. She has set up a memorial tablet for Lei Yi and visited him every day, with tears streaming down her clothes. Yue felt tenderness in his heart and gently stroked her shoulder, "You are pregnant. Don't be nervous, as it will affect the fetus."
Bingqing put his hand on his lower abdomen and said gloomily: "Whether the 'Snowy Human Demon' will really be reincarnated as our child, I'm so worried!"
Murong Yue consoled him: "That's Dragon Girl trying to make things up, don't take it seriously!"
Bingqing changed the topic, "I often wonder, is it too much for us to treat Brother Lai like that?"
Yue Ye sighed: "I was too reckless and made a hasty decision. I regretted it, but it was too late!"
"Husband, how is the "Four Soul Sutra" handled?"
"Brother Yu personally copied a copy of the scripture and handed it over to the Linghu family. The original is hidden in Xuanji Pavilion and will become a dust-shrouded secret..."
While they were talking, a disciple rushed to report, "Second Young Master, it's not good. The heads of several sects came to the family leader to ask for an explanation. There was a huge quarrel."
When Yue hurried there, the main hall was very busy. Nangong, Shangguan, Tianshi, Laoshan and other leaders gathered together and took turns attacking the head of the family. The scene was quite chaotic.
"In the battle at Tianjian Peak, although the 'Snowy Human Demon' was killed, my disciples were killed in the valley with no bones left. Patriarch, you should give me an explanation!" Zhang Zixun, the second master of Tianshi's faction, launched an attack.
The head of the family smiled bitterly, "Conquering demons and slaying demons is about seeking victory in danger, casualties are inevitable, and I am very sad!"
Yu Longzi of the Laoshan sect sneered: "The master of the house said it lightly. Of the nine people who participated in the battle, three of you, Murong, all returned with perfect weapons, while the disciples of my sect became cannon fodder. How can this convince everyone?"
The owner of the house was speechless and unable to answer.
At this time, there was a cough outside the door, interrupting everyone, "What Brother Taoist said is wrong. There should be ten people participating in the battle. Doesn't my Lei family disciple Lei Yi not count?" Lei Lei, the head of the Lei family in Yuzhou, strode in.
The head of the family hurriedly handed over his hand, "What Mr. Lei said is absolutely true. In times of crisis, Lei Yi made a surprising move to ensure victory in slaying the devil."
Lei Lei sat down swaggeringly, "Just admit it, and we can talk about it later!"
At this time, a sneer came from the corner, "You are all from a big sect with overwhelming momentum. Don't you have the right to speak for my small sect?"
When everyone looked at him, Lai Di stood up and said, "My brother Lai Wu, a hundred-year-old wizard, died like this in the valley. My Yushan sect is in pain to the bone. Shouldn't I give you an explanation?"
Everyone was talking to each other, and the family master had no time to respond.
The head of the Shangguan family coughed, and everyone fell silent, "I, Shangguan, Nangong, and Master Murong came from the same sect, so we shouldn't have raised an army to investigate. However, in the battle of Tianjian Peak, the elites of each faction were lost and left empty-handed. Senior brother, should you listen to what appeals each faction has? How to compensate?”
After saying this, the main hall was quiet for a moment, but Lei Lei burst into action, "What are you hiding? As for compensation, if you give me the 'Dragon Tooth Flash' to Lao Lei, it might comfort my injured heart a little."
When Murong Yue heard that the old man actually wanted his beloved, he was about to get angry on the spot, but the head of the family stopped him, "Master Lei's request is not excessive, I agree."
Lai Di took over the topic: "I heard that the Murong family collected many magic secret books, and I just want to borrow one or two to copy them, which may be of benefit to our Yushan sect."
Other sects put forward requests one after another, which were nothing more than magic secrets, weapons and magic weapons, and the head of the family agreed to them one by one.
At the end, the head of the Shangguan family stood up and spoke, "We are from the same sect, so naturally we will not ask for anything from Senior Brother Murong. I came here this time to urge Senior Brother that someone must be responsible for this failure."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's emotions were ignited, "We can't let things go so hastily! You Murong is the big brother. If such a big thing happens, someone has to take responsibility."
The crowd was furious and the head of the family was overwhelmed. A young man next to him saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Seniors, you are all distinguished guests of the villa. The banquet has been prepared. Please take a seat in the elegant hall first. The master of the house will give a satisfactory answer later."
With one sentence, the siege was resolved, and everyone greeted each other with smiles and dispersed.
Yue turned around and went to the west courtyard. In the small pavilion, Yuo looked up at the distant mountains and was meditating. "In the blink of an eye, the ice and snow melted, and everything revived. Looking back on the past is like a nightmare."
The more he heard his sadness, he persuaded him: "Brother's injury will definitely get better."
Yu smiled calmly and said, "The fragments of the divine sword are still traveling towards the heart. Brother's time is running out. The heavy responsibility of revitalizing the family must be shouldered by my brother."
"Brother, why did you say this? There must be a way to cure your injury!"
At this time, in the study room of the main hall, the head of the family was discussing with the young man just now. This was his close disciple Yan Ji, the leader among his peers.
"Master, following your instructions, I secretly investigated the battle at Tianjian Peak. Many doubts point to the second lady."
The head of the house remained calm and asked him to continue.
"The two young masters have the same caliber. In the last battle, the second lady pretended to be a dragon girl, which made the 'Snow Land Human Demon' feel confused and killed him with one blow. But the second lady had already pretended to be a dragon girl in the previous battle, so she repeated the trick , how could the human demon be fooled? Also, what kind of person is this human demon? Even if you believe in the identity of the dragon girl, how easy is it to kill her with one blow? "
"I guess the second lady must have special information to make the demon believe in her. Also, the second lady must have special abilities to be able to hit her with one blow."
"Then what's your conclusion?"
Yan Ji changed the subject, "When the Second Young Master brought his wife back to the villa for the first time, I accidentally discovered that there were deep tooth marks on his forearm. Based on the above doubts, the disciple boldly speculated that the Second Young Master is most likely to be a blood descendant."
The head of the family frowned when he heard this.
"There are three methods of blood inheritance. The first method is called 'Blood Madness', which uses blood to reverse flow to greatly improve the skill, similar to our sect's 'Blood Explosion'; the second method is called 'Blood Language', which uses licking the opponent's blood to obtain fragments of their past. The second method is called 'Blood Language'. The madam probably used this method to obtain the memory of the dragon girl, which convinced the human demon; the third method is called "Blood Intent", which also licks the opponent's blood and can control their thoughts at close range. If the second madam uses this method to deal with the human demon, It makes sense to hit the target with one hit.”
"Master, if the second lady is really a descendant of the blood family, I can make her appear with a little trick..."
Yan Ji observed the words and expressions and saw that the master of the house had deep eyes and was deep in thought.
"Master, you asked me to pay attention to the whereabouts of the Second Madam. I discovered that she secretly goes to the Nanshan Waterfall at the beginning of every month and finds a letter among the rocks... She may have other plans for marrying into the Murong family..."
The head of the family sighed softly: "We will discuss this matter later, and resolve the urgent needs first..."
In the evening, Murong Yue came out of the master's room, his footsteps unusually heavy. He went straight to Xuanji Pavilion without stopping. A middle-aged man held a fly whisk and waved it freely among the bookshelves.
"Uncle Jue, Yu comes to say goodbye to you. I will leave tomorrow and never come back. There should be no trace of Murong Yu in this Xuanji Pavilion."
Qi Jue didn't even look back. The matter had nothing to do with him and he continued to do what he was doing.
Yue didn't mind, obviously he was used to Jue's condition.
He went down to the deep level and found the jade tablet that belonged to him. With a wry smile on his lips, the jade tablet turned into powder at his fingertips.
When leaving, Qi Jue suddenly stopped him: "It seems that Murong Song has made a decision. Even though you have been abandoned, there is no need to be sad. Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, reincarnation is the way of heaven, and fate is determined by fate."
He changed the subject: "My Murong family's handed down artifact 'Heavenly Furnace' has actually become a demon long ago. It has such powerful magic power that the dragon has never seen its tail. His true body smelts weapons, so he has considerable experience in the art of refining."
Qi Jue's eyes burned brightly, "He has written an article called "The Melting Heaven Sutra", which is being stored in my place and will be passed on to you. If you practice hard on your mind, you may be able to melt the fragments of the divine sword and achieve the state of unity between man and sword..."
