Chapter 79: Yaoguang Sect Master Xie Lingyu

To tell the truth, Su Yuanshan truly did not know how to comfort this heartbroken woman!

So he could only tell her the truth as it was.

"Your disciple Ouyang Jianyi, he was killed by a demon beast; that demon beast is called Huo Jun and is extremely powerful!

He died while seeking rain for the common people; though he died, his honor remains. Although he was defeated, he is worthy of admiration. Until his death, he never forgot the Yaoguang Sword Sect, and even less did he forget all of you.

So he left this jade pendant to me; perhaps he hoped I would live on as him."

Xie Lingyu turned her face away and wept silently.

As a dignified Sect Master, she actually wept so sorrowfully in front of Su Yuanshan without any avoidance; perhaps it was out of trust.

Women!

This made Su Yuanshan feel some emotion, emotion at how fragile human life is.

Xie Lingyu was worthy of being a Sect Master; she quickly calmed her emotions and returned to normal.

She gave a slight sigh and said.

"Everything is fate, not a single bit is up to man!

This is a sentence my master often said to me while alive.

I did not quite understand it before, but after experiencing many things, I only now slowly understand!"

Su Yuanshan nodded slightly and said.

"It is good that you can let go. In fact, many people are not as good as you and have never been able to let go. If a person's obsession is too deep, it is of no benefit to cultivation."

With one sentence, a simple sentence from Su Yuanshan, the eyes of the Yaoguang Sword Sect Master Xie Lingyu shone with a strange brilliance!

For a moment, she actually attained enlightenment.

She was seen struggling to climb off the bed, then kneeling on the bed to bow deeply to Su Yuanshan, and then said gratefully.

"Among three people, there must be my teacher; hearing one word from you is better than reading for ten years! It is precisely because I was trapped by obsession that my cultivation could not progress. I could not figure it out before, but today, having been enlightened by you, sir, I am suddenly enlightened!

Thank you, sir!"

Su Yuanshan stiffly accepted her bow and said indifferently.

"Sect Master, there is no need for such formalities, and no need to thank me.

It is because your cultivation has reached a certain realm that you attained enlightenment as soon as I spoke. If your cultivation had not reached it, even if I said it a thousand or ten thousand times, although they are just a few simple words, you still would not have been able to comprehend them. Get up."

Xie Lingyu slowly stood up and said.

"Although the logic is so, I am still grateful to you, sir."

At this moment, the sounds of the little white fox came from outside the door, as if reminding him that it was time to leave.

Su Yuanshan stood up and said.

"Sect Master, take good care of yourself; I should be going."

Yaoguang Sword Sect Master Xie Lingyu seemed somewhat reluctant to part, nodding slightly as she said.

"If my guess is correct, sir is no ordinary person."

She stared blankly at Su Yuanshan, seemingly waiting for his answer.

However, Su Yuanshan said nothing at all and turned around to leave directly.

"Sir!" Xie Lingyu suddenly called out.

"I have a request!"

Su Yuanshan did not even turn his head and merely spat out one word.

"Speak!"

Xie Lingyu gave a slight sigh and said.

"I hope you, benefactor, will not reveal this matter to the other disciples, so as not to cause them sorrow and disappointment. I hope even more that you can live on as Jian Yi..."

However, in the blink of an eye, where was there any sign of Su Yuanshan? All that remained were the cicadas of late autumn and the lonely distant mountains...

Stepping outside the mountain gate, listening to the evening cicadas in the wind!

After using the Invisibility Technique and walking out of the Yaoguang Sword Sect, Su Yuanshan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the stone archway of the mountain gate.

Seeing no one around, the little white fox then spoke up.

"Prefect, where are we going? Do we still need to search for the traces of Huo Jun?"

Su Yuanshan shook his head and said.

"We have no clue about his whereabouts now, but since he is one of the Three Blood Slaves of Baiehou, he will certainly not be willing to lie dormant like this and will sooner or later stir up trouble again. It will not be too late to eliminate him then."

The little white fox nodded and said.

"What you say is very true, Prefect. As long as this Huo Jun is eliminated, Baiehou will only have one Blood Slave left. When we eliminate that Blood Slave then, Baiehou's immortal Dharma Body will be broken, and we will be able to completely eliminate this great scourge."

Su Yuanshan nodded slightly.

"This Baiehou is the source of all calamities; because of him, how many City Gods, Earth Gods, Yinchai, and puppets have died."

The little white fox gave an "um" and said.

"You are right. I have heard legends about him since I was small. I heard he once ate all the people in a village, and he could also devour spirits to improve himself, which is why he became stronger and stronger. Not to mention he provoked you before; he is simply guilty of heinous crimes, too numerous to record!"

Hearing this, Su Yuanshan could not help but smile slightly.

"You little fellow, you are quite good at using fancy words!"

The little white fox suddenly shook its ears and asked curiously.

"Prefect, what is 'using fancy words'?"

Su Yuanshan did not know how to explain it to it, so he said casually.

"You don't need to delve into this; you will naturally understand when you are supposed to. Just like how you used to hide by the window listening to those scholars read; listening and listening, you started saying them yourself! Right?

Let's go, let's go to the Market and see if we can sell this trash."

The trash he referred to was the corpse of that Cloud Scorpion and the corpse of another Demon Beast.

As for the Blood Pellets of the Cloud Scorpion and that other Demon Beast, they were good things that both mountain spirits, wild monsters, and cultivators would fight tooth and nail for, so naturally, he could not sell them easily.

Seventy miles away from the Yaoguang Sword Sect was a small Market, though it was not an ordinary Market, because the sellers and buyers inside were not ordinary people, but cultivators.

The Market was built on the summit of a large mountain, where the ground was level, as if someone had used great magical power to slice the mountain peak flat with a single sword strike.

Relying on the waist medallion of the Yaoguang Sword Sect that Ouyang Jianyi had given him, Su Yuanshan passed through without any obstruction.

After entering, Su Yuanshan discovered that although this Market was small, it had everything one would expect, including auction houses, shops, and street stalls.

Moreover, it had everything one could want; all kinds of items used by cultivators could be bought here, and although the quality was not very high, it was quite comprehensive.

Suddenly, a soft "Eh?" was heard, and someone asked.

"This fellow Daoist, how much for your white fox spirit beast?"

Su Yuanshan looked toward the sound and saw a middle-aged cultivator gazing at him with an eager face; clearly, he was very fond of Su Yuanshan's little white fox, and his eye for quality was quite sharp.

The middle-aged cultivator's tone was perhaps a bit loud, and his shout drew the attention of many onlookers.

They also seemed to have taken an interest in the little white fox and were whispering among themselves.

"Eh, is it really a spirit beast?"

"Look at the fur on its body, it's snow-white, and look at its eyes, its bone structure, its movements—and it's not just an ordinary spirit beast, it's quite rare!"

"That's right, this is the first time I've seen such a rare spirit beast! This young man is truly lucky!"

Seeing everyone whispering about him, Xiaobai was quite dissatisfied and even somewhat annoyed; he felt that as a dignified subordinate deity of the Chenghuangfu, being discussed like this by others was simply too demeaning.

This is not an insult to me, but a lack of respect for the Lord of the Chenghuangfu!
