Chapter 573: Chapter 572: Scandals in Shenghua Valley

Fortunately, no matter how long the river is, under Feng Ji’s inner strength, the small boat moves with ease.

Up ahead is the Shenghua Valley, familiar to both her and Lin Xiaosu.

The red flowers and green trees on both banks seem to arrive earlier than the outside world.

The peach blossom on Zunzhu Peak is especially enchanting.

The two leave the boat and ascend, reaching the tree after a few leaps.

As the fragrance of peach blossoms wafts into the nostrils, another mysterious flower scent drifts from the cave. The wind blows and the clothes flutter, as a woman stands gracefully at the cave’s entrance.

Hua Miaoyi.

Time flows like water, taking away youth and leaving behind frost on others, but on her, it only takes away dust, leaving spring forever.

“Lord Hua!” Lin Xiaosu bows.

Hua Miaoyi smiles gently: “Just standing in the place where the young master stood, I heard rumors from Jianghu. The young master defeated Chi Lian in one battle, stirring the tides of Kun Cang, a wave that will last for a century.”

“Actually, during this time, I’ve fought alongside my elder sister, not just killing Chi Lian,” Lin Xiaosu says.

Hua Miaoyi’s body trembles…

“In the Yin Yang Temple, Yang Jiu Lie didn’t go astray on his path due to divine retribution but because he chose the wrong side and suffered the consequences!” Lin Xiaosu adds.

Hua Miaoyi completely stops breathing.

It seems Feng Ji also stops breathing.

She knows that an important matter concerning Kun Cang is about to be revealed.

Hua Miaoyi takes a deep breath: “Tea has been prepared, young master, please enter the inner cave for a detailed discussion.”

The inner cave, with a pond dark as night, a tree beautiful as a painting, and a cliff boundless.

Feng Ji serves tea, and Lin Xiaosu accepts it.

Hua Miaoyi also lifts her cup of tea: “Young master, this time entering Kun Cang, are you targeting the Upper Three Sects?”

“The ecology of Kun Cang is established by the Upper Three Sects. If we want to redefine Kun Cang’s ecology, the Upper Three Sects must be broken!”

“What about Yin Jiuyou?” Hua Miaoyi softly mentions the name.

Lin Xiaosu says: “Yin Jiuyou, though appearing unkempt, has a mind full of schemes. If I could grasp him once, I can grasp him a second time.”

Hua Miaoyi says: “Is Luanyun Heavenly Master also a pawn similar to Yin Jiuyou?”

“A thousand people have a thousand faces; this person is not Yin Jiuyou, he needs observation.” Lin Xiaosu says: “However, currently, Luanyun Heaven has been knocked down from the Upper Three Sects, no need to consider.”

Hua Miaoyi takes a deep breath: “Currently, the only one that needs consideration is the Three Buddha Temple.”

“Indeed!”

“The Three Buddha Temple has already revealed its fangs, which are incompatible with the Buddhist ethos.”

“Oh?”

Hua Miaoyi says: “Since you’ve left Kun Cang, from the day the new structure of Kun Cang was born, the Three Buddha Temple has become less and less like a Buddhist sect. Seventy to eighty percent of the disciples who left Shenghua Valley have died at their hands, already reached two hundred and one, and the same goes for Li Palace and Chunshui Palace. I’ve discussed this many times with Chunshui and Lu Sanqian, vaguely guessing at the malicious intent of the Three Buddha Temple. They aim to weaken our sects’ strength in this manner, specifically targeting second and third-generation Heavenly Prides. If Feng Ji wasn’t necessary to capture, she’d be their top target for elimination.”

“Eradicating the roots?” Lin Xiaosu asks.

“Exactly! It is said that this method was suggested by an outsider named Hu Fu, who said, the younger generation is the hope for any sect’s long-term development. Cutting off the new generation is to cut off the root itself.”

Feng Ji continues: “I originally wanted to eliminate this Hu Fu, but my master was too compassionate, adamantly refusing.”

Hua Miaoyi says: “Actually, I am not compassionate; it’s just that this trend must not continue. If everyone imitates this method to cut off the other’s root, no one can escape the avalanche, and the entire cultivation ecology of Kun Cang will become unbearably harsh, which will lead to its eventual destruction.”

Feng Ji nods: “My master speaks wisely, I have also realized this.”

Lin Xiaosu slowly withdraws his gaze from afar: “The Three Buddha Temple committed such evil deeds, have you reasoned with Kong Wen?”

“Naturally! However, Kong Wen adamantly denies it; without irrefutable proof, there’s nothing I can do.”

Lin Xiaosu says: “How about this… Lord Hua, you take me to the place where your valiant disciples perished, let me see if it was really the work of the Three Buddha Temple.”

Hua Miaoyi and Feng Ji are both shocked.

“Jianghu murder, treacherous tides, even if there is evidence, it fades in a few days, with a whole year span, how to find clues?”

“Lord Hua must know, I am a Detective.” Lin Xiaosu says: “Finding murderers and evidence is my strongest field.”

Hua Miaoyi’s mind swirls with emotions…

His first entry into Kun Cang, breaking the Shenghua trapped array, his Array Path was terrifyingly strong, yet it wasn’t his field.

His second entry into Kun Cang, destroying Xiaoyao Palace and Cangmang Palace, establishing Kun Cang’s structure, his methods were terrifyingly strong, yet it also wasn’t his field.

His third entry into Kun Cang, tearing apart the Enlightenment Realm, his battle capabilities were terrifyingly strong, still not his field.

But today, he is revealing his truly strongest field: Detective!

Even though a whole year has passed.

Even though Jianghu murders have always been unpredictable.

Still, when he decides to investigate, Hua Miaoyi can only obey!

“Now?”

“Now!”

Hua Miaoyi reaches the cliff’s edge, extends her hand, and grabs Lin Xiaosu’s hand, the next moment, breaking through the air.

This is the Enlightenment Realm.

Lingkong Step Void, a thousand miles a day.

In Kun Cang, coming and going in an instant.

Feng Ji is in a daze…

She does not quite understand what he is doing.

He also mentioned that time is very precious, with March third, not more, not less, just one month away.

Is there time to investigate these old cases?

Though with the large number of Shenghua Valley disciples killed, she too wants to know who is responsible, priority matters, revenge for those brother and sister disciples isn’t the immediate focus, directly dealing with the Three Buddha Temple wouldn’t be much difference.

Suddenly, there’s a loud shout from outside the cave: “Senior Sister!”

It’s the voice of little junior sister Gu Yu.

Who is Gu Yu?

She is the first girl Lin Xiaosu met when he first entered Shenghua Valley. This girl, without a word, fought with him from the cliff to the pool and was dealt with by Lin Xiaosu, his little junior sister.

Feng Ji stepped out from the cave and saw the fiery little junior sister Gu Yu.

Gu Yu shouted, “Senior sister, I just saw Master flying with a man… Has old Lin pervert come?”

Oh my heavens…

This nickname originated from the last time Lin Xiaosu entered Kun Cang and wandered Jianghu with Feng Ji. That excursion visibly fattened Feng Ji.

Little junior sister Gu Yu circled around Feng Ji three times, touched her belly, and said: Senior sister, did some old pervert make you pregnant?

Then she started asking around about the person closest to her, and after inquiring, it turned out to be Lin Xiaosu.

Thus, the unknown “old pervert” was labeled with the surname Lin.

This is the origin of the term “old Lin pervert”…

In ordinary times, “old pervert” could be viewed as a joke by Feng Ji, but these three words, “old Lin pervert,” once caused quite a scandal in Shenghua Valley. How could Feng Ji consider it lightly?

Glared angrily!

“This time, there’s no way I’m mistaken, you’ve definitely plumped up again! My mother said it’s the inevitable result of a woman messing around with someone!” Gu Yu said, “Senior sister, do you still dare to deny that Lin pervert did this to you this time?”

With a wave of Feng Ji’s hand, peach blossoms from nearby branches wrapped around little junior sister Gu Yu, hanging her up on the spot.

Splat!

Splat! Splat!

Three crisp sounds, with peach blossoms splattering on Gu Yu’s butt, note, real peach blossoms.

Gu Yu shrieked, “The one who took your man was Master, not me. What’s the point of venting on me? If you have the skills, go duel with Master…”

Everyone at Zunzhu Peak was dumbfounded.

There are signs that Gu Yu might have created a new scandal…

This scandal must not be spoken of; everyone should pretend they didn’t hear it.

This includes the two elders halfway up Zunzhu Peak.

These two elders are the first and second under the Lord of Shenghua Valley, the Great Elder and the Second Elder.

The Second Elder’s gaze turned to Feng Ji above, his eyes a bit complicated: “Great Elder, what kind of ability is it to restore one’s Qi by killing?”

Although Gu Yu’s words were unreliable, her insight is sharp.

She revealed a truth.

That is, Feng Ji, after leaving the valley, really had become a bit fuller.

Gu Yu interpreted this in her simple yet sensational thinking: it’s the truth her mother spoke of: A woman gets nourished when she does that with a man.

Of course, the two elders wouldn’t be so idle.

They stand tall, see far, and know much.

They know the reason behind it.

The reason is Feng Ji’s peculiar law.

She was initially just bones, and the Lord used the profound Life Law to extend her life.

But for a long time, she was all skin and bones.

Why?

Because her recovery is very unique, it’s not through eating, but through killing.

The Great Elder still remembers what the lord once told him…

The lord said: Shenghua Valley should be grateful for Feng Ji’s goodwill.

Why say this?

Because during the hundred years Feng Ji was trapped in Shenghua Valley, she didn’t kill a single person from Shenghua Valley, which is why she was a skeleton for so long.

Until the blockade of Shenghua Valley was lifted.

She ventured into Jianghu and opened her gate of slaughter, and only then did she slowly recover to her current normal figure.

And this time, Feng Ji is visibly plumper compared to the last time.

What does this illustrate?

It illustrates that during her latest venture out of the valley, she killed again, and the person she killed had quite an impressive skill.

The higher the cultivation of the person killed, the more evident the recovery effect.

The Second Elder saw through this underlying logic, yet he didn’t know the principle.

He was definitely not an ignorant person; he had almost read all the books in the Cangshu pavilion of Shenghua Valley, and he was also a renowned old hand in Jianghu. However, he didn’t understand why this was.

The Great Elder said, “Reincarnation Law!”

“Reincarnation?” The Second Elder’s heart leapt.

“The Reincarnation Law, it’s the most mysterious among the Heavenly Tao Seven Techniques. No one can know its reasoning, yet, the Heavenly Dao balances, intercepting the Reincarnation Road of others to supplement one’s own may indeed be possible.”

The Second Elder was shocked inside…

Intercepting another’s reincarnation to supplement one’s own…

Could this really be feasible?

What kind of origin does this senior disciple of Shenghua Valley have?

Outside Shenghua Valley, white clouds floated by.

Above the white clouds, Hua Miaoyi appeared as if a fairy descended to the mortal world.

Beside her was Lin Xiaosu.

Why did Lin Xiaosu need Hua Miaoyi’s cooperation? Because the places in Kun Cang where Shenghua Valley disciples were killed were numerous.

High in the skies, Reverse Time, the efficiency was evidently higher.

This skill of Reverse Time was displayed.

Lin Xiaosu himself was delighted.
