1535 Duan Mubai Awakens
On the other side, in Pill Sun Sect.On this day, Duan Mubai who had awakened from his coma had slowly opened his eyes. Ruan Changchun who had been keeping watch by his bedside asked in joy when he saw this: “Eldest Senior Brother? You’re awake?”
Duan Mubai adjusted his thoughts and looked at him. He opened his mouth and called out in a weak, coa.r.s.e voice: “Junior Brother.”
Ruan Changchun helped him sit up then poured him a cup of water: “Have some water first to soothe your throat!”
He could feel that he was unable to exert any strength as he leaned against the headboard and his speech was weak. After a while, he remembered Shangguan Wanrong’s situation and asked hurriedly: “Junior Brother, Junior Sister, she…”
Ruan Changchun held his hand, then walked outside and opened up the formations of the cave dwelling before he walked back inside: “Eldest Senior Brother, so many things have happened in Pill Sun Sect during these few days while you’ve been in a coma.”
He moved a chair over to the side of the bed and sat down. He looked at him and paused for a while before he spoke again, as if trying to figure out how to tell him what had happened: “Master is dead.”
“Wh, what? Master is dead? How did it happen? Who killed him?” He asked in shock. The Master of the Peak was dead? Then won’t Third Sun Peak be thrown into chaos?
As Ruan Changchun remembered the events that had happened that night, there was a trace of complexity in his eyes: “It was Feng Jiu who killed him. The errand boy in our Peak, Feng Jiu. She is a girl and she’s Junior Sister’s daughter. I a.s.sume she had a.s.similated into our Peak for Junior Sister.”
“Feng Jiu? He is a girl? And she’s Junior Sister’s daughter?” When he heard this, Duan Mubai was filled with disbelief: “Feng Jiu is a Foundation Formation cultivator, how can she kill Master? Is it a mistake?”
“I saw it with my own eyes. Feng Jiu is already a Nascent Soul cultivator.” He sighed and continued speaking: “Junior Sister was captured by Master. By the time Feng Jiu had rescued her from Master’s cave, she was already on the brink of death. Her body was full of welt marks. Master had whipped Junior Sister with a whip soaked in liquid medicine, he…”
There were some things he couldn’t bear to speak of. He was the only one who had witnessed that scene. It was like a big secret that was hidden in his heart and he had to bear it alone. It was also because of this secret that he had lost all the respect and admiration he had previously felt for his Master.
How could Master do such a thing?
Duan Mubai was speechless for a long time and he sat there in silence for a long time before saying: “Because Master’s longevity is near its end, hence, because he wanted to live on, he was going to use Junior Sister as a human furnace to refine a pill that would prolong his life. I tried to stop it, but unfortunately…”
Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to stop it.
“Furthermore, Eldest Senior Brother, Feng Jiu also killed the Sect Master’s Supreme Divine Beast. Several Strong Exponents in the Sect were also injured and some were killed. That night, a fire had raged all over the Peaks and even the Sect Master was gravely injured. The entire Sect is in chaos.”
Upon hearing this, Duan Mubai was shocked: “Killed the Sect Master’s Supreme Divine Beast? Even the Sect Master was gravely injured? How did the matter become so serious?”
Their Pill Sun Sect was the largest alchemy sect within the Eight Supreme Empires. This was not a trivial matter. Not to mention the entire Sect was in chaos, to make things worse, other forces could target their Sect and try to take over at any moment.
Moreover, would the Sect really let such a big matter go so lightly? He was afraid that they wouldn’t let Feng Jiu go so easily.
Ruan Changchun paused and then said: “You don’t know this Eldest Senior Brother, but at that point, h.e.l.l’s Palace’s h.e.l.l’s Lord had come as well. The Sect Master had opened the Sect’s Great Protection Formation and trapped Feng Jiu inside. Finally, it was because of h.e.l.l’s Lord…”
