Chapter 193 I'll kill him if he doesn't talk.
Time goes back to a month ago.
Yun Zhao disappeared, and Qi Yan fainted. Everyone was at a loss for what to do. When they put Qi Yan on the bed and Lu Mingdao took his pulse, they found that he was seriously injured.
"It was caused by lightning. Strange, Qi Yan wasn't struck by lightning, so how could he be injured like this?"
Lu Mingdao was very puzzled.
Yun Yi's expression changed drastically. He asked, "Mingdao, how serious are his injuries? How do they compare to Zhaozhao's?"
Lu Mingdao considered for a moment and said, "Judging from the power of the heavenly lightning that struck Zhaozhao, the injuries Qi Yan suffered are almost the same as those."
He suddenly stopped. Yes, why is this happening?
Yun Yi clenched his fist, looked at Qi Yan with his eyes closed, and suddenly sighed.
"Mingdao, you must cure him."
But that was a heavenly lightning bolt capable of shattering a soul. If Qi Yan hadn't possessed powerful demonic energy to protect him, he would probably have been obliterated long ago.
Lu Mingdao used all his might, but he could only maintain the status quo and prevent Qi Yan's condition from worsening.
After regaining consciousness, Master Guiyuan immediately informed the entire cultivation world about the Extinction Qi. He reorganized the Qingyun Sect and ordered everyone to search for Yun Zhao's whereabouts.
Upon learning that Bai Lingxiao was at the Qingyun Sect, Hu Guichen immediately came to demand his return. However, as soon as he stepped into the Qingyun Sect, he fell into a trap that Bai Lingxiao had prepared for him.
Leaving aside how Bai Lingxiao would avenge the massacre of his family, with Hu Guichen gone from the Heavenly Sword Sect, there were plenty of people vying for the position of sect leader, so for a time no one came looking for Bai Lingxiao to seek revenge.
Of course, it was also because Bai Lingxiao was under the protection of the Qingyun Sect that they dared not.
Yun Yi's return, along with the alliance between the demon realm, the monster realm, and the Qingyun Sect, instantly propelled the Qingyun Sect to become the number one sect in the cultivation world.
"Alas, am I, Jin, destined to never become the sect leader in this lifetime?"
Master Jin sat on a stone bench in his courtyard, sighing repeatedly.
With the support of the former sect leader and the demon realm, Master Guiyuan's position as sect leader will be more secure.
"Master, hurry up, it's time for Jin Feng to go out and find Junior Sister."
Outside the courtyard, his apprentice Qiu Jinpeng shouted at the top of his lungs.
Jin Fengzhu retorted irritably, "Coming, coming, what's the rush!"
Even so, he immediately got up and walked outside.
The demon realm, the monster realm, and the cultivation world are all searching for Yun Zhao, but the sect cannot be without someone. According to the order of succession, it is Jin Feng's turn this time.
As soon as he stepped outside, Qiu Jinpeng muttered to himself, cursing Song Zhiyuan to Peak Master Jin: "Master, that Song Zhiyuan is a real scoundrel. He actually colluded with the Qi of Extinction. Fortunately, the old sect master and the others were alert, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"By the way, where did Song Zhiyuan go? Should we look for him?"
"Who knows?" Peak Master Jin said lazily. "If they tell us to look, we'll look; if they don't, we won't. Let's not create trouble for ourselves."
Qiu Jinpeng scratched his head: "Master, aren't you always the most enthusiastic about this kind of thing? Why aren't you taking the initiative?"
Jin Fengzhu sneered. He used to be so enthusiastic about handling all the affairs of the sect that he wanted to become the sect leader, or at the very least, his disciple could become the sect leader.
But now, inspired by the old sect leader, that old fellow Fu Guiyuan has decided to postpone his retirement and serve as sect leader for another thousand years, so his plan has completely fallen through.
Looking at his foolish disciple beside him, Peak Master Jin sighed.
Well, being a peak master isn't so bad.
After Yun Zhao disappeared, Song Zhiyuan also disappeared. Yun Yi guessed that the two might be connected, so he asked everyone to look for Song Zhiyuan as well.
They found a basement in the courtyard where Song Zhiyuan lived, where a man who had been almost shaved down to his skeleton lay there, barely clinging to life, and next to him was a mentally challenged man.
It took Master Guiyuan a long time to recognize that the skeleton was Song Qinghua, and the one who was mentally challenged was Song Qingyang.
Only after Song Qingyang regained his senses did he tell Guiyuan Zhenren everything he had seen.
After Song Zhiyuan brought Bai Lingxiao back, the Qi of Extinction handed over Song Qinghua to him, along with Song Qingyang.
Song Zhiyuan ignored Song Qingyang and locked them both in a dark room, torturing only Song Qinghua.
Each cut, made with a dull knife, caused Song Qinghua unbearable suffering, yet he was kept alive by elixirs. Song Qinghua was torn between life and death.
Song Qingyang was so scared that he was dumbfounded.
Even when he was mentally impaired, he was still able to perceive everything in the outside world, so he heard a story from the past.
Song Zhiyuan's mother was actually a member of the Vine Demon Clan.
The vine spirits consume the blood of humans or beasts to increase their cultivation. After forming a mate, they will share their cultivation with their partner.
Song Qinghua's talent is not particularly outstanding. Although he has suppressed the exceptionally talented Song Qingyang, he is still far from becoming the head of the family.
He had been trying to improve his cultivation level, and during one of his demon-slaying missions, he met Song Zhiyuan's mother.
Song Qinghua hid the vine demon away, made her fall in love with him, and then arranged for her to be identified as a young lady of the Cao family and marry into the Song family.
He searched for powerful cultivators and demonic beasts for the vine demon, and in return, the vine demon shared the blood it drank with him, and the two cultivated together.
Later, the vine spirit became pregnant.
Perhaps because the couple had committed too many evils, as soon as Song Zhiyuan was born, Heaven sent down several bolts of lightning in an attempt to kill him.
Song Qinghua did not intend to keep this child who was not tolerated by Heaven, but the vine demon threatened him with his life and the shady things Song Qinghua had done, so Song Qinghua had no choice but to find a way to protect Song Zhiyuan.
After finding a solution, Song Qinghua, in order to prevent the vine demon from revealing what he had done, took the opportunity to make her mentally impaired, sent her to the vicinity of the Misty Wasteland, established a town called Anning, and trapped her there.
The Cao family also became the guardians of that place. After her father was killed by the vine demon who drained his blood, Cao Xiangxuan became the new guardian of the vine demon.
Fortunately, she managed to calm the vine demon down, who didn't treat her as food but rather as a child.
These were just things to listen to, but Yun Yi asked, "Do you know where Song Zhiyuan might be?"
Song Qingyang naturally had no idea.
At this moment, Song Zhiyuan, whom they were talking about, was tied to a pillar. He woke up in a daze and saw Qi Yan standing in front of him.
No, to be precise, it was Qi Yan's soul.
"Where did Zhaozhao go?"
Qi Yan saw that he was awake and immediately asked.
Just as Song Zhiyuan was about to speak, he realized that Qi Yan wasn't asking him, but rather a ball of white light.
The system looked miserable: "Don't ask, I don't know either, I really..."
Qi Yan grabbed Song Zhiyuan by the neck and asked again, "Where did Zhaozhao go?"
"If you don't talk, I'll strangle him. You care so much about Song Zhiyuan, if he dies, won't the world collapse?"
The entire system was stunned.
How could he possibly know!
Although the plan to eradicate the traces of the aura failed, Song Zhiyuan's aura remained connected to this world, and could only be released after his natural death.
The world collapses when there is an unnatural death.
Seeing that the system wouldn't speak, Qi Yan tightened his grip. The system, having no other option, finally said, "Stop, stop, stop! I'll tell you..."
