Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1392 - 133: Qian Luoshui and Jiang Hongyi

As soon as she saw Qian Luoshui, Jiang Hongyi immediately asked, "Qian Luoshui, is that Zhou Yan really the core inheritance person cultivated by your Ancient Fu Xi Clan?"

"Hmm?"

Seeing Jiang Hongyi’s abrupt inquiry about Zhou Yan, Qian Luoshui’s previously calm mental state immediately wavered.

Though feeling somewhat annoyed by Jiang Hongyi’s attitude, she did not dwell on it and instead coldly replied, "Whether he is or isn’t, what does it have to do with you?"

"Hmm, then, does that mean, he is?"

Jiang Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief and probed further.

"Yes, but this child has a rather tumultuous fate..."

At this time, Fairy Jinxiu had also arrived at Qian Luoshui’s seclusion courtyard and sighed as she heard Jiang Hongyi’s question.

Fairy Jinxiu was unaware of the events after the Broken Heaven Secret Realm and assumed Zhou Yan had died the moment the Broken Heaven Secret Realm opened.

Qian Luoshui looked at her mother with a complicated expression but did not explain.

"It’s good that he is. It’s good that he is. By the way, I’ve come precisely for the matter of Zhou Yan. Because he saved our Ziwei Sect’s Junior Sister Lin Xuefei and suffered a near-death injury, my master sent him into the Ziwei Heavenly Mansion to recover in cultivation. However, there are some peculiar aspects about Zhou Yan, which makes us worried that someone might have deceitfully taken the Ancient Fu Xi Clan’s inheritance for some ulterior motive, so we came to confirm."

Jiang Hongyi quickly explained the situation.

She felt more at ease but was surprised to find that both Qian Luoshui and Fairy Jinxiu seemed to have quicker breaths.

"Impossible!"

The two women almost simultaneously blurted out.

"Hmm? Wh-what?"

Jiang Hongyi’s delightful mental state immediately shifted, and she realized that the originally straightforward matter had already become unusual as it was suspected by the sect’s protector, Jiang Xinli.

"This Zhou Yan is indeed a good child, but when he entered our Ancient Fu Xi Clan’s Broken Heaven Secret Realm, he was already... dead."

Fairy Jinxiu’s eyes showed a sorrowful and pained expression, and she spoke with a slight tremble.

Qian Luoshui opened her mouth but said nothing.

"No, the Eight Array Map, the Heaven Breaking Sword Formation, isn’t this all false? That Zhou Yan indeed used such means!"

"By the way, the appearance, character of Zhou Yan..."

Jiang Hongyi then described Zhou Yan’s appearance, character, and conduct in detail.

Due to previous forgetfulness, this time Jiang Hongyi wisely decided not to use the Time Trace Method, instead very calmly described everything.

In doing so, the memory became somewhat clearer, and the memory lapse situation did not reoccur.

"This this—"

Upon hearing Jiang Hongyi’s explanation, Fairy Jinxiu’s breathing became rapid.

Subsequently, Fairy Jinxiu looked thoughtfully towards Qian Luoshui, as if hoping for an answer from her.

Qian Luoshui nodded and said, "Mother, you are correct, Zhou Yan did not die outside the Broken Heaven Secret Realm but was... suppressed within the Three-legged Tripod on the Sky Breaking Altar."

Qian Luoshui’s statement left Jiang Hongyi and Fairy Jinxiu stunned.

"This this—"

Jiang Hongyi was also at a loss for words.

She couldn’t comprehend the situation; was Zhou Yan really treated this way by the Ancient Fu Xi Clan?

Could it be that Zhou Yan did something that incited the wrath of heaven and man? Otherwise, why would the typically cold but not brutal Qian Luoshui use such harsh means to suppress Zhou Yan into the Three-legged Tripod?

That suppression is something even kings cannot escape!

If this is true, then the Zhou Yan in the Ziwei Sect is undoubtedly fake.

"He knew we had no intention to marry him and even knew we were deceiving him, so he faked his death intentionally and then used the power of the Eight Diagrams Throne to mingle with me into the Broken Heaven Secret Realm.

Within the Secret Realm, I lost track of him and didn’t know he had entered.

Thus, I comprehended the Eight Array Map within the Broken Heaven Secret Realm, analyzed it, and memorized it.

Unexpectedly, he used the Eight Diagrams Power to conceal himself in the void, learning the Yin Yang Chaos Concealing Technique, secretly mastering these means.

As I was about to leave, on the Heavenly Road, he suddenly attacked, knocking me to the end of the Heavenly Road. I managed to escape danger, but was severely injured, so I pretended to fall off the Heavenly Road as well, secretly following with the same method.

Later, he learned the Heaven Breaking Sword Formation, and in the same way, I learned everything.

Then, just as he was about to leave, I appeared.

I sealed his soul body, forced out the Eternal Spirit, stripped away his intelligence, and then took him into the Sky Breaking Altar, sealing him within the Three-legged Tripod."

"After all, he was sent by Father King to be my husband; despite any right or wrong, I ultimately couldn’t kill him."

"So eternally sealing him is also a solution, to thus sever my emotional bindings and discard emotional entanglements in life."

Qian Luoshui gave Fairy Jinxiu a glance and said calmly.

Fairy Jinxiu, however, seemed to have discovered something, looked thoughtfully at Qian Luoshui, and did not speak.

But that gaze revealed much of what was seen through.

As Qian Luoshui’s mother, Fairy Jinxiu clearly knew that she was lying when recounting.

Yet the last scene of suppressing Zhou Yan was analyzed by Fairy Jinxiu to be true.

Therefore, Zhou Yan was truly suppressed.

Then, the Zhou Yan in the Ziwei Sect, who can break the Heaven Breaking Sword Formation, what kind of method is that?

Could it be that legendary Kingly method, the Three Pure Ones Technique?

And once Zhou Yan possesses the Three Pure Ones Technique, it’s akin to having three immortal spirits. Then, if one perished before entering the Broken Heaven Secret Realm, and another was suppressed, it’s perfectly normal for the third to escape and appear in the Ziwei Sect.

Otherwise, how could he have escaped the sealing anomaly of the Three-legged Tripod?

Fairy Jinxi thought of this, and so did Qian Luoshui. As a result, Qian Luoshui’s delicate body shook violently, a complex emotion flashed deep in her pupils.

Jiang Hongyi is no fool either, let alone the fact that the Three Pure Ones’ inheritance is the ultimate lost art of the Ziwei Heavenly Mansion.

But Zhou Yan’s entry into the Ziwei Sect seems... truly like a preordained arrangement.

So, Jiang Hongyi did not doubt how Zhou Yan escaped the sealing, but thought the same way.

"If that’s the case, then Zhou Yan... indeed qualifies to be sent here by my husband. Three immortal spirits, nearly immortal and indestructible, hard to kill in one blow. And as long as one survives and recovers the origin of the immortal spirit, the Three Pure Ones Technique can be immediately performed, and he will recover at once.

However, with one path suppressed, this Three Pure Ones Technique must truly be wasted."

Jiang Hongyi hesitated for a moment, then said rather sadly.

"No, there is a way to restore this ability—that is to kill his immortal spirit outside the world, then the suppressed immortal spirit will completely restore the ability of the Three Pure Ones, even if sealed, it can never escape the seal!"

Qian Luoshui said indifferently.

These words were cold and cruel, chilling to the core.

Jiang Hongyi looked at Qian Luoshui in surprise, seemingly frightened by Qian Luoshui’s ruthlessness.

"Qian Luoshui, you, how can you be so vicious, Zhou Yan is still the husband your Father King sent..."

"He is like a mental knot, preventing my thoughts from flowing freely. Only eternal suppression can make my thoughts flow freely, and ascend directly to the King realm in the future. Compared to cultivation, what use is emotion? It’s just a burden!"

Qian Luoshui said coldly. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Jiang Hongyi was also a cold person, but even she trembled due to Qian Luoshui’s words.

A mysterious chill swept through her body and mind.

"Will I also become such a heartless person in the future? Seeing how she disrespects Fairy Jinxi, her gentle and virtuous mother..."

"If this is the case, what’s the point even if one attains the King realm?"

Jiang Hongyi seemed to reflect on Qian Luoshui as a mirror and saw her future self.

Her mental state trembled, and she stopped thinking more to avoid a messy state of mind, which would severely impact the stability of her immortal spirit.

But instinctively, she retracted much of her cold aura, deliberately trying not to be so heartless.

Feeling this change, Qian Luoshui merely glanced coldly at Jiang Hongyi, as if she could see through all her thoughts.

"What realm are you at?"

Jiang Hongyi asked instinctively, pondering.

"Eternal Eight Rules, Ninth Layer Early Stage."

Qian Luoshui said indifferently.

This realm stands unrivaled in the world, without any peers among the younger generation.

Even the Sect Master of the Ziwei Sect doesn’t have such a cultivation.

The Eight Layer of the Eternal Eight Rules is already the extreme.

The Ninth Layer is near legendary.

And the Eternal Nine Rules are truly legendary, with possibly no more than a hundred existences on the entire Ziwei Emperor Star.

That is why, hearing of such a realm, Jiang Hongyi’s face showed utmost shock.

After a long while, the shock on her face turned into a bitter smile: "When you were at the First Layer of the Eternal Seven Rules, you and I were alike. Earlier, I was stronger than you. Now my progression in the Eternal Seven Rules is not much, but you have already left me so far behind.

Indeed, I don’t have your obsession, heartlessness, hence I’m truly not as good as you."

Jiang Hongyi sighed with a bitter smile.

Qian Luoshui didn’t care about such statements, nor did she feel any pride.

She coldly stated: "Regarding the matter of Zhou Yan, there are some things I need to deal with. This is an internal matter of the Ancient Fu Xi Clan, and it’s best you don’t interfere.

Of course, I understand your goodwill, and as for compensation, I will flatten the Cangshan Domain for you, restoring your peace."

Flatten a domain!

Such words are incredibly domineering.

Yet when Qian Luoshui said this indifferently, it didn’t make Jiang Hongyi think this was unrealistic.

Instead, Jiang Hongyi fully believed it to be true.

"No, there’s no need to be so extreme, after all, the peace of the immortal spirits has always existed, just... only by eliminating a few of the top beings can it create a deterrent effect."

Jiang Hongyi’s nature was inclined towards kindness, and she didn’t want to cause such slaughter.

After all, not all immortal spirits are guilty, and in the Cangshan Domain, it is merely a small number of them who have ulterior motives, while most are still good.

Such a wholesale slaughter, Jiang Hongyi couldn’t bear.
