Chapter 1504 A Turning Point
“What…”
Heavenly Hound, Yun Han, and others quickly retreated.
Dozens of meters away, they still felt the horror of Mengmeng’s move.
“This is her trump card? This is too incredible.”
Heavenly Hound was shocked.
Yun Han said secretly, “Zhang Yumeng indeed deserves to be called the top genius of the Sword Sect. Her trump card is ridiculously strong.”
When the Blood Shock Pluto Incantation appeared, Hun Shang was directly suppressed and had no room to resist.
He seemed to be in a daze, standing in the blood-red light.
His aura dropped sharply.
It seemed like it wouldn’t be long before he perished in the world.
But Hun Xuan was not in the Bounded Domain.
She stood outside the light layer and cried, “Don’t do this, Zhang Yumeng. Stop, don’t kill my brother.
“We are merely seeking revenge. We have never harmed anyone else.”
Yun Han closed his eyes.
In his opinion, Hun Shang and Hun Xuan indirectly made use of them and took advantage of the fact that Elder Blackeye was unprepared to attack him from behind. Killing an elder of the Sword Sect was beyond redemption, even if there was enmity between them.
Heavenly Hound regained his senses. He looked at Mengmeng, then looked at Hun Shang and Hun Xuan. He didn’t know what to say.
The others were also at a loss for what to do.
When Mengmeng heard what Hun Xuan said, her gaze softened a little.
She stopped controlling the Blood Shock Pluto Incantation and reduced the suppression, but it did not dissipate.
Swoos.h.!.+
Hun Shang lay limply on the ground, and then he glanced weakly at Mengmeng and said, “I never expected that you would be so powerful, but I have no regrets. Now that you’re an elder of the Sword Sect, you personally called Blackeye over, and I used you. Even if I die here, I’m willing. I’m asking for only one thing. Please let Hun Xuan go. This is not her fault. I planned all of this. I spent over 10 years of time preparing and exhausting all my spirit treasures in order to succeed. I beg all of you to let Hun Xuan go, and I’ll take all the blames on my own.”
“How will you take all the blames?” Mengmeng said angrily.
“Brother!”
Hun Xuan cried. She said in a panic, “Elder Zhang Yumeng, please don’t kill my brother. Don’t kill him. We’re just taking revenge. We have a blood feud. We used to live in a small town when my brother and I were still children. That’s Dyan Town on Torrential Star. We had parents and relatives. But the town was ma.s.sacred overnight. It was Blackeye who did it. He was very murderous. Later, for some reason, he let go of me and my brother. All our families are dead. We came to the Sword Sect just to take revenge. My brother didn’t do anything bad. I’m begging you, please let him go.”
After she said that, the scene quieted down.
Heavenly Hound, Yun Han, and the others also fell silent.
Mengmeng didn’t say anything.
Only Hun Xuan let out a soft sob.
Hun Shang, who was in the blood layer, was extremely weak.
Mengmeng said with some annoyance, “What proof do you have?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hand hard, and the Blood Shock Pluto Incantation around Hun Shang dissipated.
Hun Xuan was very clear about what it meant.
Mengmeng had already forgiven the siblings. He didn’t know if Heavenly Hound, Yun Han, and the others would still take action.
“These are the only photos I have.”
Hun Xuan gently took out a palm-sized alb.u.m, walked to Mengmeng, and handed it to her.
Mengmeng took it and looked at it.
The first photo was of what Hun Xuan and Hun Shang looked like when they were young.
The second photo was a photo of them and their parents.
The third and fourth photos were taken separately with their parents. Judging from the angle and their smiles, the people holding the cameras should be their father and mother. There were a lot of people in the fourth photo, more than 20 people, like a family picture. In the fifth photo, the beautiful town had turned into ruins.
“Well…” Yun Han sighed deeply. “I didn’t expect the story to be so complicated.”
Heavenly Hound and others gathered around to look at the photos.
Heavenly Hound suddenly sat on the ground and said, “Alas, I don’t care.”
“I can’t believe this.”
Mengmeng touched her forehead and felt troubled. It was the first time she had experienced such a thing.
Swoos.h.!.+
A ray of light suddenly appeared in her right hand, and a sixth-tier elixir flew toward Hun Shang.
Mengmeng said grumpily, “Take it, or there will be sequelae.”
“Thank you,” Hun Shang said in a dull voice. He took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
With tears in her eyes, Hun Xuan asked worriedly, “Mengmeng, you, you won’t kill us, will you?”
“With you acting like this, how could I kill you?”
Hun Shang cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Elder Zhang, for not killing us.”
“Stop talking. You’re so annoying.” Mengmeng glared at him.
She also sat on the stone, looked at Hun Xuan, and said in a softer tone, “Alright now. Don’t cry. I’m not an unreasonable person.”
“Revenge is a matter of course.” Heavenly Hound sighed and said, “If it were me, I would do the same. But Elder Blackeye was usually easygoing when he guided us. How could he… I don’t understand.”
“I don’t either. However, what I said is true. If that is not the case, why would we only target Blackeye?” Hun Xuan said.
“I don’t mean to question you.” Yun Han smiled bitterly and said, “But what should we do next? Elder Blackeye is dead, so we definitely can’t hide it from the sect. I suggest that Elder Zhang report it to the higher-ups truthfully. In this way, you may have to face the killing order of the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect is so powerful that it will be difficult for you to stay in the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven. Your second option is that you can s.h.i.+ft the blame by saying that the elder of the Heavenly Evil Sect killed Elder Blackeye. But in this way, we can’t get over it, and we are having mixed feelings now. Do you understand? I think you should have planned a way out after you succeed, right?”
“I never thought about it,” Hun Shang said in a low voice. “I didn’t know if I could succeed or not.”
“If it doesn’t work… I’ll introduce you to the Heavenly Evil Sect or the Authentic Martial Arts Sect.” Mengmeng said to Hun Xuan, “Some seniors in the Heavenly Evil Sect and the Authentic Martial Arts Sect are my acquaintances.”
Swoos.h.!.+
The eyes of the people around suddenly became strange.
“B-but Elder Zhang, aren’t you clearly telling us that you’re a spy?” Heavenly Hound asked in surprise.
“Bulls.h.i.+t! Spy my a.s.s.”
Mengmeng snorted and said, “I’m from Mount New Moon, which belongs to my dad. We have dozens of people training on the Vast Heaven Star. Except for the Crimson Sunglow Sect, our guys have joined the other three sects.”
“Ahem, don’t overthink it.” Yun Han looked at the several people whose faces had changed and said, “Elder Tian Chen personally asked Zhang Yumeng to be a protector. Don’t underestimate the strength and vision of the upper echelons of the sect.”
“Then we can rest a.s.sured.”
After thinking about it carefully, they breathed a sigh of relief.
“Alas!”
Mengmeng sighed softly.
If her father were here, what would he do?
“Forget it. I’ll ask First Elder Hanlong about this. If he wants to arrest you, I’ll write an introduction letter. You can leave with it and go to the other sects,” Mengmeng said.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you all,” Hun Xuan said gratefully.
Mengmeng took out the communication jade slip and contacted Elder Hanlong.
It was unknown what they talked about. Ten minutes later, Mengmeng’s expression suddenly became strange.
When the call ended, she paused and said, “Well, would you believe me if I say that you’ll only be put in detention for two months?”
“What?” Heavenly Hound was furious. “That’s impossible!”
“Detention? No way!” Yun Han was astonished as well.
After all, the one who had died was an elder. How could this be?
Hun Shang’s eyes were alert. He suspected that it was Elder Hanlong’s delaying tactic and that Elder Hanlong would catch him and execute him.
“Elder Hanlong doesn’t want me to tell you.”
Mengmeng hesitated for a moment and then made a decision. She said, “But I think you still have the right to know. Elder Blackeye was about to die, and his cultivation method had an irreversible impact. He only had a few years left. He, Elder Tian Chen, and Elder Hanlong have talked about you two.
“He discovered your ident.i.ties five years ago.
“But he didn’t prepare anything. Back then, because of the incomplete cultivation method, Elder Blackeye absorbed too much evil spirit and became demonized. He slaughtered ten cities. When he regained consciousness, it was too late.
“That’s why he decided to let you take revenge. He waited for a few years, but you hadn’t made a move. Before he came here, he said that if he died in your hands, it would be his fate. Elder Hanlong said that it represented the will of Elder Blackeye, and it was also a private dispute between you. It didn’t represent the sect. You can stay in the Sword Sect after being lightly punished.”
“Can we stay?” Hun Xuan’s eyes lit up, and then they became gloomy again.
In these years, Hun Xuan also liked the peak where she was. There were many people she knew. If she left, she would inevitably be at a loss.
Moreover, the world is so big that there is no suitable place for them to go on Vast Heaven Star.
Now that she had taken her revenge, she had mixed feelings.
Her and Hun Shang’s feelings were the most complicated.
But the others, including Mengmeng, breathed a sigh of relief.
This result relieved them of any psychological burden.
Hun Shang and Hun Xuan had taken revenge and would not receive any great punishment. They could stay in the sect. In other people’s opinions, this was the best outcome.
“We’ll stay in the sect.”
Hun Shang was silent for a moment before he finally spoke.
His expression was complicated as he sat on the spot and remained silent for a long time.
The group dispersed.
They went to other places and didn’t disturb the two siblings. They left them some s.p.a.ce alone to recall the past. When the sad page was flipped over, what followed seemed to be a clear sky after a rain.
“Alas, I really don’t enjoy being emotional.”
Mengmeng flew forward alone. Her mind was full of those dramatic things, but they happened right in front of her.
“I don’t know where Dad and Elder Yue are. Why haven’t they come back yet?”
Mengmeng looked into the depths of the secret realm.
They thought it would be a very easy secret realm.
However, Yue Wuwei and Zhang Han were also taking it seriously.
“It really is the Land of Extreme Yang.”
The two of them walked to the center.
They discovered a Bounded Domain. It was very strong as it blocked the elders from the Four Great Sects who came to investigate.
But it couldn’t stop Zhang Han and Yue Wuwei.
When the two of them entered the Bounded Domain, they saw a dazzling light, surrounded by many spiritual herbs.
“Sixth-tier treasures are everywhere, and seventh-tier ones are like weeds.”
Yue Wuwei’s beard trembled. “What grade is this Land of Extreme Yang? How could it be so mysterious?”
“We’re getting rich.”
Zhang Han suddenly sighed softly and said, “There are so many spiritual herbs. It seems that they used to be ordinary but have evolved into spiritual herbs of the Yang element.”
Plants with spirituality could evolve and turn into spiritual herbs in a special environment.
However, it was unusual for it to become a sixth-tier or seventh-tier one.
“Let’s reap the harvest,” Yue Wuwei said with a smile.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Two figures began to harvest spiritual herbs in the center.
Yue Wuwei said, “There are quite a few Yang Devils here.
“I’ll be in charge of suppressing them. Focus on your harvest.”
His power of the Tribulation Stage spread out, and no Yang Devil dared to approach within a five-kilometer radius.
