Chapter 650: Chapter 310: Mom, I Want to Go Home!
Before coming to Qinghe City, Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe had already discussed it with Su Xin and Wei Wan using the Sound Transmission Talisman.
This time coming to Qinghe City, ostensibly to pay respects to Li Qinghe, is actually to open the coffin for an autopsy.
Li Qinghe clearly harbors a huge secret, no matter who is lying in the coffin now, they must open it to see. There is still the possibility of gaining clarity on this matter.
Thus, after the daytime commotion, the four people and a bird sneaked into the mourning hall at night.
They saw Cheng Qingyu walking in, and Qiu Zhihe promptly drew a Concealment Array to hide everyone’s aura.
Only after Cheng Qingyu left did everyone reveal themselves.
Qin Gengyun walked to Li Qinghe’s coffin and turned back to look at the four women. Su Xin’s face was somewhat pale, not out of fear, but more out of guilt.
After all, with her temperament, opening someone’s coffin still made her feel a bit uneasy.
Huang had already transformed back into human form, her face eager.
She is the Celestial Phoenix Maiden of this generation from Celestial Phoenix Mountain, bearing the blood of the Ancient Divine Phoenix. Now a black Divine Phoenix has appeared, this matter is definitely related to Celestial Phoenix Mountain, and she is naturally concerned.
Qiu Zhihe, however, remained calm, suddenly turned to the door and said:
"Come out."
A moment later, two timid silhouettes hesitated to come in.
"Junior Sister Xu, Junior Sister Zhou, why have you come?"
Qin Gengyun was somewhat surprised. Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er pouted:
"Would you believe us if we said we were just passing by?"
Qiu Zhihe said indifferently: "Since you’re here, join us."
"Junior Sister Ruo, how about we forget it?"
Zhou Ling’Er was almost crying, wishing she could slap herself twice.
The two were bored at night, went out for a walk, and accidentally discovered movement in the mourning hall, could not resist being curious, and came to take a look, only to be caught by Qiu Zhihe on the spot.
The hatred in their hearts, they swore not to be curious again, but why can’t they control themselves!
"Hmm?"
Qiu Zhihe calmly looked at the two, their bodies trembled, and they quickly said:
"Then let’s join, haha, sob sob sob!"
Everyone surrounded the coffin, Qin Gengyun grabbed the coffin lid, and under several apprehensive or concerned gazes, pushed open the lid, revealing its contents.
"This is..."
Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er almost exclaimed in shock, only for Qiu Zhihe to cover their mouths with her hand.
Su Xin and Wei Wan looked at each other, both showing surprised expressions.
"How is this possible?"
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden stared at the coffin, her face full of confusion.
In the coffin lay Li Qinghe, but her body was terribly decomposed, with some places already showing bare bones.
"Li Qinghe died six days ago. There’s an Ice Array set in the coffin that should have preserved the corpse from decaying. Why is Li Qinghe’s corpse decomposing so severely?"
Qin Gengyun was puzzled, and Qiu Zhihe suddenly said: "Maybe she didn’t die six days ago."
Wei Wan pondered: "Twenty years ago, Qinghe City encountered a beast tide, and Li Qinghe was severely injured, near death."
Su Xin continued: "Indeed, Li Qinghe actually died at that time!"
Qin Gengyun clapped his hand: "So, the black Divine Phoenix took over Li Qinghe’s body twenty years ago because you all discovered its identity, it abandoned this body? But this body died twenty years ago; why is the decomposition only at this level?"
Qiu Zhihe suddenly raised her hand, removing the Ice Array inside the coffin.
Without the preservation of cold air, Li Qinghe’s corpse rapidly decomposed, quickly turning into a pile of bones.
"Oh my god!"
Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er were so frightened that they sat on the ground, their legs going weak.
They still have no idea what’s happening, and they can’t understand what Senior Brother He and the others are saying, they just watched Li Qinghe, who seemed to have died recently, suddenly turn into bones.
This scene is too eerie and sends shivers down the spine.
The two young girls are about to cry.
Mom, I want to go home!
"Our guess was correct, this body already died years ago, without the support of the Divine Phoenix body, and without the cold air freezing, it immediately turned into bones."
"So, Li Qinghe indeed died twenty years ago, just as the black phoenix discovered and took over her body, assuming the identity of Li Family Patriarch."
"Now Senior Sister Su and Senior Sister Wei discovered it, so abandoned this body."
Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er sat on the ground shivering, staring blankly at Qin Gengyun and the others fervently discussing.
After a long time, they finally vaguely understood.
Li Qinghe had been dead for a long time, her body occupied by a Great Demonic Beast impersonating the Li Family Patriarch for many years.
This secret was exposed by Senior Sister Su and Senior Sister Wei, so the Great Demonic Beast abandoned Li Qinghe’s corpse and fled.
This also explains Li Qinghe’s sudden death, and the rapid decomposition into bones.
"Caihe, we’re so smart, we understood everything!"
The excitement of discovering secrets triumphed over fear, Zhou Ling’Er’s eyes were glowing. Xu Caihe, however, looked dazed, suddenly speaking:
"If the Li Family Patriarch died twenty years ago, then whose daughter is Senior Sister Cheng?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Gengyun and the others who were heatedly discussing all fell silent, looking at her.
Xu Caihe jumped in fright, waved her hands repeatedly: "I haven’t heard anything, haven’t seen anything, you all continue, don’t mind me."
Qin Gengyun suddenly realized: "Junior Sister Xu is correct, Cheng Qingyu is only twenty years old, if Li Qinghe died twenty years ago, then who is Cheng Qingyu’s biological mother?"
Qiu Zhihe pondered: "After the beast tide twenty years ago, Li Qinghe married Chen Qingmo, who posed as Cheng Family Patriarch, and then gave birth to Cheng Qingyu..."
She suddenly looked at the Celestial Phoenix Maiden: "Huang, if your Phoenix Race transforms into the Ancient Divine Phoenix, can it still interact with humans to produce offspring?
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s cheeks flushed, she glanced at Qin Gengyun, nervously replied:
"The Phoenix Race shares the same origin with Human Cultivators, only the cultivation method is different. If you insist on... that, we can still have offspring with humans, but I am young, please spare me!"
Qiu Zhihe sneered: "Even if you intend to be with my husband, I won’t consent."
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden was stunned, and immediately realized she misunderstood. Her cheeks flushed red, she simply transformed back into a Phoenix Bird Beast, using her large wings to cover her head, unwilling to face people again.
Qin Gengyun said: "If it’s as Huang said, then is Cheng Qingyu the daughter of Chen Qingmo and the black Divine Phoenix?"
"Ling’Er, what are Senior Brother He and they saying?"
"I-I don’t know either, why is even the Sect Leader involved? We might not live till tomorrow!"
Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er heard everyone’s words and were dumbfounded.
This matter involves the Sect Leader of Zhenyang Sect, this is serious!
"Impossible!"
Qin Gengyun had just finished speaking when a dignified yet hurried voice sounded.
Everyone turned, seeing Tantai Mingyue walking in wearing a plain long white dress, her gentle face showing shock, with a bit of coldness.
"Senior Brother Chen cannot possibly be involved with that black Phoenix!"
