Chapter 630: Chapter 290: True Yang Sect and Cyan Lotus Sect

Xiyue Peak.

Liu Su’s small courtyard.

"Xiaowu, I’ll cultivate a bit longer. You should go to sleep first. We have to train with the master tomorrow."

Liu Su sat cross-legged on the bed, speaking to Yun Wu.

Yun Wu, disguised as an ordinary maid, stood at the window, staring blankly at the full moon in the night sky.

"Susu, if you have an enemy, no, more like half an enemy, she’s not that bad and actually quite pitiful, do you think I should take revenge on her?"

Liu Su snorted, "It’s not that complicated, aren’t you talking about Wei Wan?"

Yun Wu turned around, surprised, "Susu, how did you guess?"

Liu Su raised her hand and lightly tapped Yun Wu on the head from afar with spiritual power:

"It’s written all over your face. Do I still need to guess?"

Yun Wu lowered her head, troubled, and said, "Then Susu, what should I do?"

She had learned from Liu Su about Wei Wan’s tragic past, which greatly diminished her hatred for Wei Wan.

After all, the Guardian Array of Cloud Bamboo Mountain wasn’t opened by Wei Wan, and her hands were unstained by the blood of any Cloud Bamboo people.

Even Yun Wu’s father wasn’t killed by her.

With that in mind, Wei Wan and she didn’t have any direct deep-seated hatred.

Yun Wu gave herself many reasons and finally came to a conclusion: I don’t have to kill her.

She inexplicably felt a sigh of relief in her heart.

But also felt uneasy, fearing she would let down the Cloud Bamboo Mountain people, let down her father.

Incredibly conflicted in her heart.

Liu Su rolled her eyes at her, "That’s why you’re still a child. You haven’t hated Wei Wan for a long time. Why make things difficult for yourself?"

"But..."

Yun Wu’s voice suddenly stopped as she stared blankly at the window.

Liu Su also sensed something and swiftly moved to the window: "Wei Wan, what are you doing here so late?"

A gentle figure like flowing water stood in the courtyard, saying to Yun Wu, "Xiaowu, I... have something to say to you."

Yun Wu was somewhat at a loss, Liu Su from behind said, "Go ahead, don’t worry, I’m here."

Yun Wu mumbled an "oh," and with her head down, walked in front of Wei Wan, feeling somewhat nervous for some reason.

She then felt embarrassed for feeling this way in front of her enemy and immediately raised her head, snapping:

"What do you want to say? Hurry up and say it!"

Wei Wan looked at her with gentle eyes, as if looking at her own sister, softly saying:

"I’m leaving the mountain. I might be gone for a long time. You have no cultivation, and staying in the Zhenyang Sect would be dangerous. Would you... like to come with me?"

Yun Wu was startled, then shook her head, "I’m not going. I have to avenge my father and the people."

Wei Wan said, "I am your enemy. If you want revenge, you can do whatever you want to me, Xiaowu. Come with me."

Yun Wu shook her head again, "You’re not my enemy."

"Xiaowu..."

Wei Wan stared at her blankly, and Yun Wu waved her little fist at her: "Aren’t you leaving? I’ll hit you, you know!"

"Alright." Wei Wan nodded, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman from her bosom, and handed it to Yun Wu:

"Be careful. If anything happens, send me a message."

"Hmph, if anything happens, I’d ask Susu and the others, not you!"

Yun Wu snorted, but still took the Sound Transmission Talisman.

"I’m leaving."

Wei Wan turned to leave.

"Hey!"

Yun Wu called out, and Wei Wan turned around, only to see the little girl baring her teeth:

"Don’t you dare die out there. I still have to avenge you!"

Wei Wan’s face showed a tender smile, "Alright."

...

"Wife, who do you think this Colorful Bone belonged to?"

"It was probably a Great Elder of the True Yang Sect or the Cyan Lotus Sect from five hundred years ago."

"Could it be that... Xia Jinglian?"

Qin Gengyun suddenly thought of something and said to Qiu Zhihe:

"Probably after Zhenyang killed his wife five hundred years ago, he seized the moment when the Cyan Lotus Sect was leaderless, leading the True Yang Sect to launch a surprise attack on the Cyan Lotus Sect. He must have used some methods to make the world believe that the Cyan Lotus Sect was secretly committing evil, leading to their expulsion from Eastern Cultivation."

"During this, Xia Jinglian might have perished, her remains turning into a Colorful Bone, acquired by Zhenyang, who couldn’t fully destroy it, so he hid it away."

"After Zhenyang’s ascension, he naturally didn’t take care of worldly matters, so the Colorful Bone was hidden in the Sect Leader’s Immortal Mansion all this time."

"The two subsequent Sect Leaders, Li Tian and Chen Qingmo, might have known about this or not, but regardless, their best choice was to hide the Colorful Bone and not let the truth of the past be revealed to the world!"

After Qin Gengyun finished speaking, he saw Qiu Zhihe looking at him intently. Qin Gengyun was surprised:

"Wife, did I say something wrong?"

"Husband, you’re becoming more mature."

Qiu Zhihe suddenly smiled reassuringly, as if looking at a child she had painstakingly raised finally growing into a reliable man.

Qin Gengyun lightly tapped her on the head, and under her surprised gaze, put his hands on his hips:

"I treat you as my wife, but you want to be my mother?"

Qiu Zhihe glared at him, "Husband, you’re getting more insolent!"

Qin Gengyun raised his hand playfully, "Did wife forget my means?"

Qiu Zhihe remembered how Qin Gengyun had punished her that night in Wind Bell Village, her face immediately blushed, glaring coquettishly at Qin Gengyun, then spoke seriously:

"Husband’s guess about the past should be almost spot on."

"Oh?"

Qiu Zhihe looked at Qin Gengyun and said calmly, "In the Cyan Lotus Sect, there is also a record of what happened five hundred years ago. Under Sheng Tanglian, there were four Great Elders: Suqin, Nantian, Xiaolian, and Chunxue."

"Yi Suqin, Mo Nantian, Xia Jinglian, Chun Hongxue, among whom Yi Suqin was the head of the four Great Elders, her cultivation second only to Sheng Tanglian."

Qin Gengyun recalled, "I remember seeing in the Cyan Lotus Sect’s relic the image of Sheng Tanglian’s Colorful Bone. When Zhenyang killed his wife, he mentioned that Suqin, Hongxue, and Jinglian all looked down on him."

"Yes, it seems none of the Great Elders liked Zhenyang back then, possibly one of the reasons that drove him to the murder."

Qiu Zhihe continued, "After Sheng Tanglian’s death, the True Yang Sect indeed attacked the Cyan Lotus Sect. Though there aren’t many descriptions of that battle in the records, likely because those who knew didn’t survive."

"All we know is that during that battle, Yi Suqin disappeared, and Xia Jinglian alone held off the True Yang Sect, eventually falling in battle."

"Chun Hongxue and Mo Nantian led the survivors of the Cyan Lotus Sect out of Eastern Cultivation, fleeing to the desolate and bitter land of the South Demon."

"At its peak, the Cyan Lotus Sect had over ten thousand disciples, but by the time they reached the South Demon land, only a few hundred remained."

Qiu Zhihe’s voice grew lower, and Qin Gengyun was also silent.

Just a few sentences were enough to convey the intense tragedy of that battle five hundred years ago.

Qin Gengyun clenched his fist, "Wife, I am determined to ascend the Immortal Flying Pavilion, use the Holy Nether Water, repair the Colorful Bone, and reveal the truth of that year to clear the Cyan Lotus Sect’s name!"

Qiu Zhihe suddenly looked outside the door, "Someone’s coming."
