Zhu Jingyi's Indiscriminate Attack! Helian Shiyue, Suspected of Returning from the Dead!

Silence fell over the room after these words were spoken.

Both Hua Shisan and Zhu Jingyi looked at Lu Qinghan with astonishment.

They never expected that Lu Qinghan had summoned them for this very reason.

But can this kind of thing be discussed openly?

But Lu Qinghan did just that.

This made it difficult for the two of them to discern what the other was thinking.

Does this mean they're not going to fight anymore?

Upon hearing this, the hot-tempered Zhu Jingyi immediately sneered:

"Hehe, Uncle Lu, this is the last time I'll call you Uncle Lu."

What trick are you planning to pull now?

Trying to advance by retreating?

Or perhaps they wanted to lower our guard and assassinate Zhou Tianjian?

I don't believe you can't see what kind of person Xia Xiangtian is!

He's nothing but a hypocrite who's good at hiding his true nature, cruel and ruthless, but also adept at disguising himself!

If he were to succeed as Sect Leader under such circumstances, the Nine Splendor Sword Sect would surely be destroyed!

Even so, you still want to elevate Xia Xiangtian to the position of Sect Leader.

I'm telling you, Lu Qinghan!

Impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Shisan quickly said, "Senior Sister, no, Uncle Lu is an elder, how can you..."

Zhu Jingyi wasn't initially that angry, but after hearing Hua Shisan's words, her anger flared up instantly.

He turned to Hua Shisan and yelled, "Hua Shisan! Do you even have a brain?!"

Don't you know how many times that old geezer Lu Qinghan has tricked you?

You can't do this, you can't do that.

I don't think you're any better than me!

You knew it was wrong, so why didn't you stop me when I was speaking?

Once I've said what's on my mind, you won't be able to go again!

No wonder you're so talented but still can't cultivate as fast as me!

With your indecisive personality, you'll never break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

Zhu Jingyi unleashed her Fire Power, launching indiscriminate attacks on the two of them, making her face turn red with anger.

Hua Shisan's face flashed with embarrassment, because Zhu Jingyi was right.

I didn't stop him just now because Zhu Jingyi spoke his mind.

I originally thought they were in cahoots and that my Senior Sister would give me face.

Who knew they'd even insult themselves?

For a moment, the dignified third Ancestor of the Nine Splendor Sword Sect, the master of the Azure Nether Sea-Calming Sword, Qingming True Lord, was speechless.

He could only cough twice, look up at the starry sky, and try to appear calm.

Lu Qinghan looked at Zhu Jingyi, whose chest heaved with anger, and then at Hua Shisan, who was speechless after being scolded.

He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

The cheerful voice echoed continuously atop Sword Mountain, lingering for a long time.

Zhu Jingyi frowned slightly and said, "What's so funny?"

Lu Qinghan stopped laughing, but couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and replied:

"Jingyi, now I understand why my Junior Sister liked you so much back then."

However, this time I'm serious.

From this day forward, Xia Xiangtian will no longer compete with Zhou Tianjian for the position of Sect Leader; he only begs that you spare his life.

This is my only apprentice left.

When he said the last sentence, Lu Qinghan's face darkened, his voice trembled, and regret showed in his eyes.

Then, surprisingly, he bowed slightly to Zhu Jingyi and Hua Shisan, performing a fist-and-palm salute.

Hua Shisan quickly dodged and stepped forward to try to straighten Lu Qinghan's body. He used all his strength, even breaking the ground of the pavilion under his feet, but it was still no use.

"Uncle-Master Lu, what are you doing? This is against the rules!"

However, Zhu Jingyi merely glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Hmph, hypocrite!"

Lu Qinghan ignored Zhu Jingyi's words and slowly said, "I know that in the years of fighting for power and profit, many people in the Nine Splendor Sword Sect have died, and even the death of your master is related to me."

You're angry with me, and I have nothing to say.

But of my five disciples, only Xia Xiangtian remains, so I hope you can persuade Tian Jian to spare his life in the future."

Upon hearing his master's name, Hua Shisan's gaze towards Lu Qinghan turned hostile, and he replied coldly:

"Uncle Lu is joking. Uncle Lu's cultivation is profound. With you protecting him, my Senior Sister and I can't touch him."

Moreover, we are currently facing the danger of our sect's annihilation. Isn't it too early to consider these things now?

Seeing Hua Shisan's sudden change in attitude, Lu Qinghan gave a wry smile.

He sighed, "It's too late, because I... am about to die."

"What a joke, Lu Qinghan! You're 873 years old now, and you have at least 80 years left until your death. If you have some rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can extend your lifespan, we might not even outlive you! Saying that is just too ridiculous!" Zhu Jingyi didn't believe it at all.

"Hehe." Lu Qinghan shook his head and said:

"I'm not talking about the end of the road, but the Soul Devouring Cult. The Soul Devouring Cult leader is currently using the Blood Spirit Bead he's collected over the years to break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage."

"How do you know? Why would the Soul Devouring Cult tell you something like this!"

Seeing Zhu Jingyi's questioning expression, Lu Qinghan's face turned cold, his fingertips clenched until they turned white, and a terrifying aura burst forth from him.

His eyes were icy cold as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly:

"Because the leader of the Soul Devouring Cult is He-Lian-Shi-Yue!"

As he uttered that name, Lu Qinghan's face was filled with murderous intent!

"What! Helian Shiyue! Wasn't she dead eight hundred years ago?! How is this possible?!" Hua Shisan was shocked and involuntarily took a few steps back!

Helian Shiyue was born into the Helian Clan, which was one of the most powerful Lineage within the Nine Splendor Sword Sect at the time.

The clan has two Half-step Nascent Soul experts!

At the same time, she was also the fiancée of Lu Qinghan, who was then only the Young Sect Master.

However, all of this changed the day after Lu Qinghan and Helian Shiyue got married.

At that time, in order to help their Ancestor break through to the Nascent Soul, the Helian Clan found a poison called the Yellow Springs Nine Nether Poison.

This poison is colorless and odorless, yet it can kill even Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Even Nascent Soul Cultivator would have no chance of discovering it without careful investigation.

They wanted to poison Lu Qinghan's master and steal the Nascent Soul Pill!

Later, on the second day of the wedding, Helian Shiyue took the opportunity of toasting the elders to give Lu Qinghan's Nascent Soul Middle Stage master this poison.

No one expected that the Helian Clan would launch an attack on such a joyous occasion!

However, to the Helian Clan's surprise, Lu Qinghan's master possessed a Fourth-tier Upper-grade Poison Pills. Although it could not completely neutralize the Yellow Springs Nine Nether Poison, it could suppress it for a few years.

The consequences for the Helian Clan were predictable.

Nascent Soul's wrath can cause the deaths of millions!

The Helian Clan was executed.

Lu Qinghan also personally killed Helian Shiyue, because if he didn't kill him, he would not be able to succeed as Sect Leader.

Although he was killed, they were still husband and wife. With the consent of his master and the elders, Helian Shiyue's body was not burned, but buried at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Qinghan never imagined that the woman, whom his master, the Great Elder, and he himself had all confirmed was dead, would reappear before him!

At this moment, is Helian Shiyue of the Soul Devouring Cult the same Helian Shiyue he knows?

If so, that would be a resurrection from the dead, an act defying the will of Heaven!

If not, then he must be possessed by Evil Demon, but in that case, how would he know about things that happened eight hundred years ago!

Can the memories of the dead be captured?

How could such a method possibly exist in this world!

This left Lu Qinghan in a state of utter confusion, but it was undeniable that Helian Shiyue at this moment indeed possessed the strength to severely injure the Nine Splendor Sword Sect!
