Chapter 250: Shi Hao, Qingfeng, Shi Qi, and the Poisonous Lady's Scheme! (Part 2)
"
"Shi Village is indeed concealed."
"However, I have a way to find it."
He indeed could find it. With the willow branch given by the Willow Deity, he could locate it even if the Willow Deity had concealed the entire Shi Village.
"At Grandpa's place, I learned some things."
"I also learned about your existence and Qingfeng's, so I rushed over here."
"I didn't expect to encounter them just as they were about to strike."
Shi Hao said with a hint of fear, "Fortunately, I arrived in time, or else..."
After leaving the Moon Embrace Sect, he traveled and trained, eventually returning to the Northeast Domain and Shi Village, and then coming here.
Fortunately, he arrived in time.
"Alas."
Uncle Fu sighed, "Young Master, since you already know, I won't say more."
"Only..."
"You shouldn't have exposed yourself."
He smiled bitterly, "Actually, the best way would be for them to kill both of us, and for you to conceal and gather strength."
"Only then could we be safe and worry-free."
"Yes, Young Master," Qingfeng also sighed, "Now that you've been exposed, The danger is real."
"..."
Shi Hao shook his head, his expression resolute and determined.
"To exchange temporary peace for the deaths of those I care about?"
"I won't do it!"
"I just want to protect those around me, I want everyone I care about to live long and well!"
"Young Master."
Uncle Fu and Qingfeng were moved.
But then, Uncle Fu sighed, "But..."
"They are the Immortal Ancient Clan, you..."
Shi Hao laughed.
He was very relaxed.
Even he didn't know why he was so confident, saying, "How about theImmortal Ancient Clan?"
"One day, I will make them an ancient clan, an imperial clan!"
These words were too arrogant.
At first, they sounded absurd.
But he was indeed that confident.
Even though he was just a few-year-old child, a young lad, he was resolute and determined.
"I believe too."
Uncle Fu finally laughed.
Then he said, "Young Master, now that you've saved us, quickly leave."
"Do you want to stay and buy time for me?"
Shi Hao frowned, "I know what you're worried about, but don't worry. Nothing will happen. I'll take you both away."
"As for those people..."
"I will settle with them!"
Without waiting for Uncle Fu and Qingfeng to agree, he forcibly took them away. They were very helpless but dared not and could not resist.
Unable to argue, they could only comply.
But they had made up their minds. If there was danger, they would die protecting Shi Hao, dying before him.
On the way.
Facing the unfamiliar scenery, they were confused.
Uncle Fu asked in surprise, "Young Master, where are we going?"
"Back to Shi Village?"
"Or to find Elder Grandfather?"
"Grandpa?"
Shi Hao pondered, then smiled freely, "Grandpa is so powerful, I don't need to worry about him."
"As for Shi Village, it's currently hidden, so it's not suitable."
"I'll take you to the Southwestern Domain!"
"Southwestern Domain?"
"Yes, to my sect."
"To there..."
"They won't be able to find you, ensuring your safety, so I can act freely."
Mentioning the sect, the seemingly carefree little stone finally showed a kind expression, "My Master, Senior Brother, and Senior Sister are all good people."
"At that time, I'll ask Master to take Qingfeng in as a disciple."
"Let you tread the path of immortality."
"After a period, we two brothers will stand side by side and slay all our enemies!"
At this moment, he was full of youthful ambition.
Qingfeng, upon hearing this, felt a surge of yearning in his heart.
His fate...
It was bitter!
Abandoned by his parents from a young age, he didn't even know who they were.
Raised by an old couple in the village, they both died in a great upheaval.
After that, he could only live by begging, suffering from hunger and cold, living day to day.
Later, he met Shi Hao's father. Although he had lived a life of fine food and fine clothing, he was actually a substitute for Shi Hao, attracting attention and possibly facing danger at any moment.
Previously, he had almost died a miserable death.
Although Qingfeng was very carefree and didn't care much, he was still a young lad, with the youthful ambition and imagination of youth.
Shi Hao arrived.
And he had planned a beautiful future for him.
But...
Could he really achieve it?
Stand side by side with Brother Shi Hao and slay all enemies?
Just by relying on...
His crippled self?
After a brief fantasy, what remained was only self-pity.
...
The Shi Clan.
Shi Qi had returned.
During this time, Shi Qi's name had become renowned in the Northeast Domain, shining like the midday sun!
At the Seventh Stage, he forcefully pushed back many strong enemies, even slaying several Eighth Stage perfected cultivators without a hair's breadth of injury. His twin eyes, powerful enough to shock ancient and modern times, and his eye technique was even more astonishing.
Even more...
He had the Sovereign Bone, harboring the Sovereign Technique.
The combination of the two was even more powerful, stunning the world.
Many people even compared him to the Sacred Sons of the Holylands and the First Sequence, and most believed that Shi Qi surpassed even the Sacred Sons!
He was truly the Young Sovereign, and even more, a 'Double Sovereign!'
The Invincible Path of the twin eyes had never known defeat.
Add the Sovereign Bone, how much more formidable would he be?
However, many wise people had already seen through it—this was the Shi Clan building momentum for Shi Qi!
But even they dared not look down on him in the slightest.
Because if the Shi Clan dares to push Shi Qi to the forefront and build momentum for him, it represents that he has 'succeeded'.
At the very least, he can achieve peerless strength within his current realm!
It's not just about his current minor realm, but dominance in a higher realm! Otherwise, the Shi Clan wouldn't be creating such a scene for him.
After all, if they are proven wrong, it won't just be the Shi Clan's reputation at stake, but it will also disgrace the undefeated legacy of the Two-Eyed One.
And this... also demonstrates Shi Qi's current fearsome capabilities.
Even many of the older generation's powerful beings, when mentioning Shi Qi, can't help but praise him, and none dare to have even a hint of belittling in their hearts.
However...
No one knows that within the Shi Clan tonight, there is extreme unrest.
In a secret chamber.
Bang!
Clatter...
"What did you say?!"
A beautiful lady, enraged, sweeps her hand, sending everything on the table flying, including a high-quality jade-carved teacup that shatters into pieces.
"That little bastard is still alive?!"
"Yes."
The person who came to report kneels on one knee, his expression grim, "Elder Seventeen sent a message before his death. That child is still alive, and the second ancestor's body was just a decoy."
"That child has returned."
"Not only did he survive, but he also embarked on an unprecedented cultivation path, and he strongly killed them all without injury!"
"And..."
"He has cultivated the Invincible Kirin Technique."
"He even casually took out a Ninth Rank Revitalizing Pill to save an old servant's life, probably..."
"There's more to it."
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
After hearing this, the lady's expression turned extremely ugly, filled with rage: "Such a thing, how dare they!"
"Why is he still alive?"
"Why is he still alive?"
"He should be dead!"
"He should've died long ago!"
After a burst of anger, she took a deep breath, her eyes gradually turning cold: "You may leave now, and don't mention this to anyone."
"Yes, madam."
He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.
But this lady couldn't calm down for a long time.
She paced back and forth in the secret chamber, for a long, long time.
"He must die!"
"My son is a born Supreme, destined to become a Saint and Ancestor, surpassing all predecessors, becoming the invincible one with no equals before or after him."
"There must be no stains on his path."
"..."
"Hmph."
She clenched her teeth, "Second Elder, Third Elder, come see me at once."
A moment later.
Two figures appeared like ghosts.
"Miss."
The two respectfully bowed.
The lady's face turned grim: "That little bastard is still alive!"
"Investigate!"
"Investigate for me, find out where he is, find out what background he has, and then, kill him!"
"Destroy him, along with his background."
"Qi'er must not have any stains!"
"You can start with the Kirin Technique and the Ninth Rank Revitalizing Pill. That little bastard knows the Kirin Technique and has such high-quality pills, so it shouldn't be too hard to find him."
The two elders, upon hearing this, also felt a sense of urgency and quickly replied, "Yes, Miss."
"We'll take care of it immediately."
"But what about the Shi Clan..."
"My son is the Young Supreme!" The lady lowered her head, her face hidden: "Once the matter is settled, what can the Shi Clan do to us?"
"Moreover, the Shi Clan doesn't just have the Great Demon God's lineage. Even that lineage, what are they compared to?"
"Go all out, don't hold back!"
She spoke with absolute determination.
But no one saw her face twitching uncontrollably.
She couldn't help but recall that night...
When Shi Hao's parents returned and learned of Shi Hao's tragic condition, they caused a huge disturbance in the Shi Clan.
That battle...
Shi Hao's father, Shi Ziling, fought with deep resentment, and it was then that the Shi Clan realized that Shi Ziling, whom they had always thought they had highly regarded, was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
It wasn't an overestimation!
But... they had greatly underestimated him.
That night, multiple elders and executives became victims of his spear.
It was also that night that she was pierced through the shoulder by his spear, suffering severe injuries.
If it weren't for her prior preparations and an elder speaking up for her, forcing Shi Ziling to retreat, she might have... already died.
Recalling this now, even though her wound had long healed, it still ached faintly.
But...
You think this will scare me? For my son, I can sacrifice everything.
She smiled.
In her smile, there was madness.
The Shi Clan was extremely powerful.
Moreover, Shi Qi's maternal clan also had a formidable background.
Under the forceful command of Shi Qi's mother, it didn't even take until dawn for the Third Elder to deliver the intelligence to her hands.
She held the intelligence, carefully reading every word.
At the same time, the Third Elder spoke in a deep voice, "We'll start with the Kirin Technique."
"However, the opponent didn't use the complete Kirin Technique but the Kirin Scattering Hands, so the scope will be slightly larger."
"Currently known, there are over a hundred factions in the eight domains and one state that practice the Kirin Scattering Hands, with most of them concentrated in the Central State, belonging to the 'Qi Family' lineage."
"There are also more than ten families scattered throughout the eight domains."
"Our Northeast Domain also has one, and we've already sent people to closely monitor them."
"But with this clue, it's difficult to determine which faction it is in a short time."
"However, with the addition of the Ninth Rank Revitalizing Pill, it becomes much easier."
He slowly exhaled.
"Speak!"
The lady put down the intelligence, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"The Southwestern Domain, Moon Embrace Sect."
"Moon Embrace Sect?"
The lady was surprised: "I remember, did my son go there?"
"Yes, he did."
"This Moon Embrace Sect seems to be quite mysterious."
"Ten thousand years ago, in an extremely short time, they soared to the sky and became extremely prosperous."
"But then, they suddenly 'fell from grace', and in recent years, they almost became extinct. However, since the current Sect Master, Lin Fan, took over, the Moon Embrace Sect has soared once again."
(End of Chapter)"In less than a decade, the Moon Embrace Sect has grown strong enough to challenge top-tier powers. If they were to go all out, there are many within the top-tier sects that would not be their match."
"..."
"I don't want to hear this."
The lady waved her hand, "Get to the point!"
"Yes."
The Third Elder bowed and continued, "The Phoenix Technique, created by the founding ancestor of the Moon Embrace Sect, has an unknown origin. It is known that the Phoenix Technique was once the sect's invincible art, a cornerstone of its teachings."
"Later, the Moon Embrace Sect encountered a calamity. Its affiliated families, the Xi Men and Zhou families, rebelled, causing heavy losses to the sect. The Phoenix Technique also changed hands, falling into the Xi Men family's possession for over ten thousand years."
"But a few years ago, the Xi Men family was destroyed, and the Phoenix Technique...for some unknown reason, after many twists and turns, it returned to the Moon Embrace Sect, and it was the complete Phoenix Technique, including the Phoenix Techniques."
"It's been witnessed more than once that disciples of the Moon Embrace Sect have used the Phoenix Technique, and the practitioners are not limited to one."
"Oh?"
The lady's eyebrows flickered, "Continue!"
"Not only that, the Moon Embrace Sect's sect leader, Lin Fan's personally-taught top disciple, Xiao Ling'er, is also a Grand Daoist Alchemist!"
"The latest news is that this Grand Daoist Alchemist is the former master of the Phoenixfire Pill Tower and the heir to the Alchemy Emperor!"
"In other words..."
The lady took over the conversation, "Simultaneously possessing the Phoenix Technique, and using a Ninth Rank Revitalizing Pill to save an old servant..."
"Eight or nine out of ten times, this is likely the Moon Embrace Sect?"
"It's not eight or nine out of ten."
"It's a fifty percent chance," the Third Elder shook his head.
"Fifty percent?"
The lady frowned.
Fifty percent?
She even wanted to say: You're not going to say it's either yes or no, are you?
It really was 'fifty percent'.
"There's one more person."
"The Xi Men family, due to the Grand Daoist Alchemist Lu Ming, was destroyed. Logically, the Phoenix Technique should have fallen into his hands first."
"As a Grand Daoist Alchemist, he naturally wouldn't lack for pills."
"If that child is related to him, it can also satisfy the conditions and clues we know."
"..."
The lady lightly tapped the table with her fingers in a rhythmic manner, then said, "Let's discuss this Lu Ming in detail!"
"Yes!"
"..."
After a thorough discussion.
The lady fell into a brief silence.
"The Moon Embrace Sect."
"Bright Moon Sect's Lu Ming."
"A former enemy? With almost no chance of reconciliation?"
"What do you think of this?"
The Third Elder pondered, "They're both difficult to deal with."
"The latest news is that the Phoenixfire Pill Tower has changed hands, and the Alchemy Emperor has returned!"
"The reason for their success is the assistance of the Moon Embrace Sect."
"In other words, the Moon Embrace Sect has the support of the Pill Tower, and they're far away in the Southwestern Domain..."
After an analysis.
The lady's head ached.
Obviously, neither the Moon Embrace Sect nor the Bright Moon Sect would be easy to deal with.
She wanted to 'protect the Dao' for her son and completely erase the 'stain', but it wasn't going to be easy.
A direct confrontation wouldn't be worth it.
Moreover, it was still uncertain whether it was related to the Bright Moon Sect or the Moon Embrace Sect.
If they went through all the trouble and paid a huge price to destroy the Moon Embrace Sect, only to find out they were from the Bright Moon Sect...wouldn't that be a joke? It would be a loss for her grandmother's family.
But that little brat couldn't be ignored.
What should she do?
Could she think of a perfect solution to deal with them all?
Wait!
Suddenly, she had an idea.
"I've got it!"
"They have enmity!"
"And conveniently, our suspect is them."
"In that case, why should we wage war?"
"They have hatred, and Bright Moon Sect would certainly not want to see the Moon Embrace Sect rise so rapidly. The reason they haven't started a war is probably just waiting for an opportunity."
"But, we only need to provoke a war between them, let them fight..."
"With their enmity, once the war starts, it won't stop."
"They will fight to the death, until one sect is annihilated!"
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
"With the current strength of the Moon Embrace Sect, even Bright Moon Sect would likely find it challenging. Even if they win, the price they pay won't be small."
"In that case..."
"If that brat joins the Moon Embrace Sect, we naturally don't need to take action."
"But if he joins Bright Moon Sect, after a major war, they will also suffer losses. If we take action or think of other methods, it will be much easier."
"Brilliant!"
"Third Elder."
"Come closer and listen!"
The lady whispered excitedly, "I have a plan."
After listening, the Third Elder exclaimed, "Brilliant plan!"
"Miss, you are truly brilliant."
"If it's such a brilliant plan, why not execute it quickly?"
The lady laughed.
"Yes, Miss."
The Third Elder hurriedly left, but after stepping out of the secret chamber, he couldn't control himself, and his whole body broke out in goosebumps.
"The most poisonous is a woman's heart."
"It's truly..."
He felt a mix of fear and relief. It was fortunate that this 'poisonous lady' was on their side; otherwise, he would have been in deep trouble.
