Chapter 293

"I wonder if the Qinglong Society's secret can truly be kept safe?"

"Never mind! Let us wait until they arrive before speaking further!"

At that same moment,

After hearing Su Hang and Wang Wang Yuyan's words, Li Li Qiushui's face turned pale with shock, and a look of terror soon appeared upon her features.

What surprised her was that her beloved Master, the renowned Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi of the Wu Lin Jianghu, was actually still alive.

What terrified her was that the entire Wu Gong of the Xiaoyao Sect actually originated from the Changchun Valley!

That was an extremely Xie Sect place!

Now that things had come to this, all the strangeness was no longer mysterious!

"But... Mr. Su... this Palace Lady still does not understand..."

Having spoken thus, Li Li Qiushui calmed her emotions slightly and continued:

"Why did Master leave without a word back then, only to eventually become a monk at Shaolin?"

"I beg you, Mr., to explain the reason clearly!"

Regardless, the fact that Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi was not dead was the greatest good news!

As long as Master still lived, even the Tianshan Child Mother would have to submit completely!

At this moment, Li Li Qiushui had already made up her mind: after the fortune-telling was done, she must, no matter what, invite Mr. Su to go with her to Shaolin!

After all, it was Mr. Su who said these words; without him leading the way, Li Li Qiushui alone would absolutely be unable to find her Master.

After all, Li Li Qiushui knew better than anyone what Wu Gong her Master possessed!

If he did not wish to be seen, then throughout the entire world, throughout the entire Wu Lin Jianghu, truly no one could do anything to him!

Su Hang lifted the teacup before him, took a light sip of tea, and said:

"This matter is actually quite simple to explain."

"Back then, Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi stole someone's treasure, causing the Changchun Valley to be utterly destroyed."

"Without that Fountain of Eternal Youth, the ancestors in the valley instantly revealed their true forms, could not hold on, and in the end, fewer than one in ten survived."

"Therefore, the Changchun Valley was not a human paradise, and the immortals within the Changchun Valley were not truly immortals."

"In the end, they were merely a group of demons who used the name of cultivating immortality to bring harm to the world."

"Although without the stone stele and without the Fountain of Eternal Youth, the vast majority of demons could not survive, there were always exceptions."

"Those old immortals who had cultivated for several hundred or even a thousand years managed to survive by sheer luck."

"How could they simply let go of the hatred caused by Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi stealing their treasure?"

"Therefore, after that, the immortals in the Changchun Valley began searching everywhere for Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi."

"But I suppose you know that your Master, Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi, always kept his whereabouts hidden; even his direct disciples might not have known."

"At the same time, to avoid drawing attention, the Men Sect of the Xiaoyao Sect generally operated only within caves, having no contact with the outside world whatsoever."

"With this arrangement, even if the immortals in the Changchun Valley possessed abilities beyond measure, they could do nothing to Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi."

"In Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi's view, as long as he did not expose his whereabouts, even if those old fellows came out personally, they could do nothing to him!"

Li Li Qiushui suddenly understood.

"No wonder..."

"From childhood to adulthood, Master never allowed us three senior and junior sisters and brothers to go outside, and we were not even allowed to reveal to anyone that we were disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect!"

"Indeed, even the three words 'Xiaoyao Sect' were absolutely forbidden to be spoken!"

"Otherwise, the light punishment would be expulsion from the Men Sect, while the heavy punishment would be having our Wu Gong crippled by Master!"

"Now that I hear Mr.'s explanation, it turns out it was because of the Changchun Valley!"

Having spoken thus, Li Li Qiushui immediately became serious,

"I suppose those demons in the Changchun Valley back then were extremely powerful, to the extent that even my Master feared them so!"

Su Hang nodded and continued:

"That is natural."

"Although your Master, Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi, possessed formidable Wu Gong and was one of the few Di Shen Xian Jing experts in the Great Song Empire!"

"Yet compared to those demons in the Changchun Valley, he was still far inferior..."

"If he encountered those demons, your Master, Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi, would have no choice but to flee for his life!"

"After all, they were old fellows who had cultivated for over a thousand years!"

"If nothing unexpected had occurred, according to Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi's plan, he could have waited until you had fully grown before retiring from the world."

"But just at that moment, without any unexpected events, an unexpected event occurred."

"Just when the Xiaoyao Sect thought nothing would happen, he still sensed the aura of the Changchun Valley approaching!"

"That aura was the scent of the Fountain of Eternal Youth from back then... carrying a thick, cloying smell of blood; a layer of blood mist filled the air, and even the clear breeze became sweet."

"At that time, Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi knew that a great enemy was near, and thus he left in haste, unable to bid you farewell."

"He knew clearly in his heart that facing those few experts from the Changchun Valley, he had almost no chance of victory."

"After some deliberation, Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi decided to Dunrukong Sect."

"After all, the Fomen sacred lands are places where demons do not enter. As long as he could remain within the Fomen, he would not fear his old enemies from back then coming to Zhaoshang Sect."

"Thus, with such thoughts in mind, your Master entered Shaolin and swept the floors in the Cangjingge."

"This sweeping lasted for forty years."

"During these forty years, although Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi grew old, his mind became ever more clear and pure!"

"He was originally a Daoist, well-versed in all the Daoist scriptures of the world; now, within the Cangjingge, he had read through all the Fomen sutras. With this, Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi cultivated both Buddhism and Daoism, and his realm was incomparable to before!"

"The Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi of yesterday, the Floor-Sweeping Monk of today—your Master is not only not dead, but his cultivation has surpassed that of the past!"

"Therefore, as long as you can find your Master and invite him to act..."

"If that's the case, then no matter how deep the grudge between your Western Xia and Lingjiu Palace, it won't be hard to resolve."

After Su Hang finished speaking, a few more seconds passed, and everyone present, including Li Li Qiushui, was stunned and unable to come back to their senses for a long while.

Everyone simply could not believe that the Eternal Spring Valley of the legendary Ren Jian Xian Jing was actually such a sinister and evil place!

With that, even without Su Hang saying more, everyone could understand why those old immortals could live for thousands of years, and why those old immortals could remain forever young.

Hearing this, Wan Wan beside them exclaimed in surprise:

"It's fake, all of this is fake!"

"Those undying immortals are clearly demons, and that Undying Spring is nothing but human blood!"

Seeing that even Wan Wan had spoken, Shi Shi Feixuan, as her sworn rival, naturally refused to fall behind.

She stepped forward, puffed out her chest, and said:

"Also! That so-called stone stele, apart from the Gong Fa inscribed upon it, should have another function — and that is to condense and refine that human blood..."

"And since the stone stele was stolen, even though the Gong Fa remains, without the stele to condense the human blood, those predecessors naturally cannot achieve immortality!"

"It can be said that Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi did a great service for the Wu Lin!!!"

"Otherwise, for those predecessors to remain immortal and ageless, they would need so much human blood — who knows how many common folk would have been harmed!"

With Shi Shi Feixuan's words, everyone suddenly understood, and at once felt a heartfelt admiration for Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi.

"The only regret is that even an unrivaled master like Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi could not completely purge the evil nature within this Heaven and Earth Undying Eternal Spring."

"Those that need to suck blood will, in the end, still need to suck blood!"

"What are we to do about this?"

Wang Wang Yuyan also said with a face full of horror:

"I just don't know what realm those demons' Wu Gong has actually reached!"

"To think even an unrivaled master like Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi would avoid them!"

"You must understand, Senior Senior Xiaoyaozi was one of the rare Land Immortals of the Great Song Jianghu..."

In Wang Wang Yuyan's view, a Land Immortal was already the strongest fighting force there was.

What kind of world lay beyond a Land Immortal, she had never considered, nor dared to consider.

Clearly, the demons within Eternal Spring Valley, like Su Hang, had already far exceeded the bounds of Wang Wang Yuyan's comprehension.

Hearing Wang Wang Yuyan's words, Hearing Hearing Lianxing also nodded gently and said:

"Indeed....."

"Who would have thought there was still such a group of demons with peerless Wu Gong in this world!"

"Now that Eternal Spring Valley is destroyed, this band of demons will sooner or later bring disaster to the mortal world — better to wipe them out!"

Having said this, Hearing Hearing Lianxing once again gazed at Su Hang with a face full of affection,
