Chapter 360: Incarnating as Yuwen Tuo
After the news of Juxian Manor being wiped out spread throughout the Jianghu, it caused an immense uproar.
Over a hundred people vanished into thin air just like that; it was truly too suspicious.
As the local constable, although the people of Juxian Manor were from the greenwood, Qin Shubao still did his utmost to find the true culprit.
After all, Qin Shubao also greatly admired Dan Xiongxin's attitude of valuing righteousness above all else.
Qin Shubao was also very furious, because the murderer was truly too ruthless.
Over a hundred lives, simply vanishing into thin air; it seemed they were more likely to be dead than alive.
This murderer who wiped out the family was truly devoid of conscience and unforgivable.
It was just that Qin Shubao did not know the true culprit who caused the destruction of Juxian Manor was the very benefactor he respected immensely.
Those who did not know the story behind the Juxian Manor massacre were still completely confused, while many who saw Juxian Manor at a glance realized that a great power had taken action.
Aside from those in the cultivation world, who else could possibly destroy Juxian Manor into such a state in a single moment?
Those who understood naturally would not speak much; if they provoked the existence in the shadows and ended up with the same fate as Juxian Manor, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Therefore, they all chose to keep their mouths shut about this matter, letting this massacre become an unsolved case.
After Duan Fengyun left Juxian Manor, he headed straight for Taba; anyway, after Jianchi and the others secured the Nuwa Stone, they would return to Taba to retrieve the Shennong Cauldron, so he would go ahead to lead the way for them.
Duan Fengyun arrived outside Taba and saw the Ice Valley not far away, and Duan Fengyun smiled.
This Taba Khan Emperor was truly ruthless; in order to prevent the Shennong Cauldron from being discovered, he had sealed it directly within this Ice Valley.
Duan Fengyun leaped into the Ice Valley; he had already seen the Kunlun Mirror on the spot, and the Nuwa Stone was not convenient to see.
Now he wanted to witness another of the Five Divine Artifacts, the Shennong Cauldron.
Flying down into the Ice Valley, Duan Fengyun saw the Shennong Cauldron at a glance.
Even beneath this Ice Valley, the Shennong Cauldron still did not have a trace of frost, standing there solemnly and majestically.
Duan Fengyun walked up and touched the Shennong Cauldron, and immediately the Shennong Cauldron seemed to be activated, shaking incessantly in place.
And following that, the figure of a burly man appeared before Duan Fengyun's eyes.
The man looked at Duan Fengyun suspiciously and said:
"Who are you, and how did you come to my Taba? Are you also harboring ulterior motives for our Taba's Shennong Cauldron?"
Duan Fengyun laughed:
"You must be the previous generation's Taba Khan Emperor. My name is Qin Shuang, and I am the Earth Emperor of this generation.
I have come to Taba today to find the Shennong Cauldron; I want to collect the Five Divine Artifacts to reseal the Demon Realm into the Scar of the Sky."
Anyway, this Khan Emperor did not know about the Earth Emperor, so Duan Fengyun directly gave himself the title of Earth Emperor so that the Taba Khan Emperor would not suspect him.
Upon hearing that Duan Fengyun was the Earth Emperor, the Khan Emperor's eyes widened.
He naturally knew the legend of the Earth Emperor; this was the savior of the Human Realm.
It was just that the Taba Khan Emperor still had a trace of doubt about Duan Fengyun saying he was the Earth Emperor.
The Taba Khan Emperor spoke:
"What evidence do you have to prove that you are the Earth Emperor?"
Duan Fengyun shook his head and said:
"The Earth Emperor is an ethereal concept; I have nothing to prove it. However, please believe in my identity, Khan Emperor; I have come this time to save Taba."
Upon hearing that Duan Fengyun had come to save Taba, the Taba Khan Emperor was agitated and said:
"You have come to save Taba? That is wonderful.
If you truly are the Earth Emperor, then Taba is truly saved."
Duan Fengyun saw that the Taba Khan Emperor seemed to know about Taba's crisis, so Duan Fengyun asked:
"Looking at you, Khan Emperor, you seem to know about Taba's current crisis.
But you have long since passed away, so how do you know?"
The Taba Khan Emperor recalled with a look of reminiscence:
"Back then, in order to seize the Shennong Cauldron, Yuwen Tuo came to Taba wielding the Xuanyuan Sword to fight me.
The duel between the two great divine artifacts caused me to be backlashed by the Shennong Cauldron, and I died shortly after.
And my eldest daughter was also wounded by the Sword Qi of the Xuanyuan Sword; it was precisely at this time that the rabbit demon found an opportunity to exploit.
Although I have died here, with the help of the Shennong Cauldron, I still know what is happening inside Taba.
When I saw my second daughter Taba Yu'er and Zhang Lie being deceived by that rabbit demon, I wanted to tell them the truth, but I had no way to notify them.
Mr. Qin, since you have come to save Taba, I hope you can tell my daughter and Zhang Lie the truth on my behalf, so they will not be deceived by that rabbit demon again."
Duan Fengyun nodded and said:
"Rest assured, Khan Emperor; since I have come to Taba, I will certainly eliminate that rabbit demon.
However, Khan Emperor, you must keep my identity a secret; do not mention it to your daughter, Zhang Lie, and the others.
If the Demon Realm discovers my identity as the Earth Emperor, I will inevitably fall into the endless pursuit of the Demon Realm, so please, you must keep it a secret for me."
Duan Fengyun had to make it clear to the Taba Khan Emperor first, so that when Taba Yu'er and the others found the Shennong Cauldron later, the truth would not be revealed.
Therefore, he informed the Taba Khan Emperor from the start not to speak of it.
The Taba Khan Emperor nodded solemnly after hearing this and said:
"You may rest assured; I will not mention your identity to anyone."
Duan Fengyun smiled and said:
"That will do.
Khan Emperor, if you have no other matters, I will go to Taba to understand the situation first; I want to see the situation before thinking of a way to eliminate that rabbit demon."
The Taba Khan Emperor nodded and said with a look of gratitude:
"I am very grateful for all of this."
"You are the great benefactor of my Taba!"
After Duan Fengyun gave a slight smile to the Taba Khan Emperor, he soared into the sky and left this Ice Valley.
And after Duan Fengyun left, the figure of the Taba Khan Emperor also vanished once again.
After flying away from the Ice Valley, Duan Fengyun arrived at Taba.
Looking at it from within Taba, who would know that the current Empress is a rabbit demon?
Watching the Empress sitting inside the Han Imperial Palace, Duan Fengyun smiled.
This mess should be left for Taba Yu'er and Zhang Lie to deal with.
It is difficult for an honest official to settle family affairs, and he did not want to get involved in someone else's domestic matters.
After wandering around Taba for a circle, Duan Fengyun flew away.
Now that things had reached this point, and with the clear realization that his personal strength was sufficient, he prepared to go find Yang Su to have some fun.
But before that, Duan Fengyun prepared to play a little joke on Yang Su first.
Duan Fengyun first drew the appearance of the Xuanyuan Sword on paper, then he went to a weapon shop and had the Boss of the weapon shop forge a Xuanyuan Sword modeled after it.
Originally, the shopkeeper claimed it would take two days, but he could not withstand Duan Fengyun's monetary offensive, and the fake Xuanyuan Sword was forged in just one morning.
Looking at the Xuanyuan Sword that was lacking in color, Duan Fengyun raised his hand to wipe it, using a glamour spell to transform it into an antique-looking golden sword.
And Duan Fengyun also imitated Yuwen Tuo's Golden Armor, outfitting himself with an identical set of Golden Armor.
At the same time, Duan Fengyun also styled his hair into the same small braids as Yuwen Tuo.
Duan Fengyun put on the Golden Armor, wore the Golden Mask, and with a physique identical to Yuwen Tuo's plus that deliberately feigned "keep strangers away" demeanor, who would believe he was not Yuwen Tuo?
Duan Fengyun toyed with the fake Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and said with a wicked smile:
"Yang Su, oh Yang Su.
Haven't you always wanted the Xuanyuan Sword?
Today, I will bring you a fake Xuanyuan Sword to satisfy your craving.
I wonder if you will be able to see through this fake Yuwen Tuo of mine, hahahaha."
The preparations were mostly complete, and it was time for him to go give Yang Su a surprise.
He directly used his Divine Fire Clone to arrive at the Situ Gong Mansion thousands of miles away.
Seeing Yuwen Tuo, who had not appeared for a long time, the guard greeted him enthusiastically.
"General Yuwen!
Long time no see, where have you been handling important matters!"
He walked into the Situ Gong Mansion with a cold and aloof expression, ignoring the guard.
The guard was not angry either; he had long been accustomed to such behavior from Yuwen Tuo. If Yuwen Tuo had actually spoken to him, that would have been the most abnormal thing.
And when Duan Fengyun saw the guard directly mistake him for Yuwen Tuo, he laughed heartily inside.
"It seems this fake Yuwen Tuo of mine is quite convincing. Let's see if that old thief Yang Su can discover me later."
Duan Fengyun walked into the main hall with a murderous aura. Yang Su, who was currently reading a military manual, saw Yuwen Tuo return and put down the manual in confusion.
Yang Su looked at Duan Fengyun with a puzzled expression, because he already knew about Yuwen Tuo transforming into Jianchi to retrieve the Nuwa Stone.
But why had he suddenly changed back into Yuwen Tuo and returned to the Situ Gong Mansion so brazenly? Could something have happened?
Yang Su asked suspiciously:
"Tuo'er, shouldn't you be properly acting as your hero Jianchi in Yuehe City right now, and taking the opportunity to retrieve the Nuwa Stone?
Why have you suddenly returned? Did something happen?"
Hearing Yang Su's words, Duan Fengyun thought to himself:
"As expected, Yang Su knew about Yuwen Tuo's Incarnation as Jianchi from the very beginning.
Ning Ke and the others thought their plan was flawless, but they didn't expect that in front of Yang Su, they were just a bunch of clowns.
It's just that Yang Su wanted to use them to obtain the Nuwa Stone, which is why he turned a blind eye."
Duan Fengyun did not speak, only continuing to look at Yang Su with a cold expression.
Yang Su was also long accustomed to this demeanor of Yuwen Tuo's.
