Chapter 35: The Life of the Body

The fires in both the Medicine Room and the South Courtyard had started in an extraordinarily bizarre manner. This was obviously someone maliciously setting a fire, but none of the people in the neighborhood froze and saw any suspicious shadows. Even a man from the Xiao Sect who had been guarding the entrance of the Pharmacy had not seen anyone enter or leave the Pharmacy at all.

But fortunately, the fire was not too violent and was quickly brought under control. Xiao Yunhai quickly set up some arrangements before he anxiously called out to Xiao Gu and ran back to Xiao Yulong’s small courtyard.

Pushing open the door of the room, before Xiao Yunhai had the chance to open his mouth and shout Xiao Yulong’s name, his entire person was struck by heavenly thunder and stayed there.

Xiao Yulong was no longer on the bed and was lying crookedly on the ground like a dead dog. His entire body was covered in blood, with a blood black thick scar on each of his wrists and ankles, and both his hands and feet were all twisted. His entire face had been pasted with blood, with only two piles of bloody flesh remaining on both sides of his ears, his nose and upper lip had disappeared, he was spitting blood bubbles from his mouth, and red, white, and black liquids were flowing out of his two pitch black eye sockets……. His lower body was even more completely stained with bright red.

Xiao Gu’s whole body trembled, and his legs directly half-kneeled to the ground in soreness. He had been a doctor all his life, and had seen countless big and small injuries, but he had never seen such a cruel and bloody, tragic picture. And from Xiao Yulong’s skin color at this time, he could see that Xiao Yulong was not dead …… and the signs of life were not weak at all …… but such a tragic situation was more miserable than dying a hundred times a thousand times.

Xiao Yunhai s whole body trembled, his heart and guts wanted to be broken, and his face has been pale and bloodless. Seems to vaguely feel someone s approach, Xiao Yulong s body twitched a little, and the mouth that bubbled with blood spilled out a moan of despair that was as hard to hear as sandpaper rubbing ……

Xiao Yunhai’s body shook violently as he staggered forward and suddenly roared furiously as if he had gone mad: ”Who is it!!!! Who is it! Who is it!!!”

“Get the hell out of here! I’m going to lynch you by a thousand cuts! Ten thousand cuts of lynching! Sever your children and grandchildren!!!”

Xiao Yunhai’s roar contained endless resentment and insanity, as if he had suddenly gone mad, he felt that his chest cavity was almost about to explode, and the blood vessels in his entire body seemed to burst, looking at his own son who was sprawled on the ground, his entire body wasted, unlike a man, unlike a ghost, he hated the fact that he could not cry out loud and even more so that he could not really go crazy straightaway like this!

“Who is it! In the end who is it! Give me to roll out! Roll out …… ah ！！！！！”

In a mournful and incomparable roar, Xiao Yunhai violently rushed forward two steps, completely shattering the back window of the room. And at this time, he suddenly realized that there were two rows of blood red words …… written with his son Xiao Yulong’s blood on the wall at his hand.

“Xiao old dog! In order to congratulate your dog son for his immediate ascension to the Xiao Sect, I am offering a great gift, please accept it with a smile.”

“Uh ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!”

Xiao Yunhai fiercely punched the wall with the words written in blood and cracked it, he roared miserably and a blood arrow violently spewed out of his mouth before his eyes rolled over and he fell heavily on his back on the ground.

After brutalizing Xiao Yulong, Xiao Che returned to his room and put those clothes that Xiao Lingxi had made for him and all of his savings into the Heavenly Poison Pearl. His savings were not much, totaling 1,800 Huang Xuan Coins.

Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment and put the blanket that he and Xia Qingyue had covered together into the Heavenly Poison Bead as well.

“After living in a place for sixteen years ……, it shouldn’t come back again.”

Xiao Che looked at this place with some attachment for a while …… What he was attached to was certainly not this Xiao Sect, but the fact that this place had too many memories with him and Xiao Ling Shi. Before he was eleven years old, this was not only his room, but also Xiao Ling Shi’s room. At that time, they were together day and night, almost every moment ……

After staying for a long time, Xiao Che returned to his stealthy state and scaled the wall to enter the back mountain area.

There was still more than an hour before the Star Concealment Pill expired. The main reason he would use this Star Concealment Pill was because he wanted to meet Xiao Lie and Xiao Ling Shi to confirm their safety. A single Xiao Yulong was not worth wasting a Star Concealment Pill on. Although he had found two Star Concealment Grasses at once on the first day of his rebirth and return, he was quite certain that a heaven and earth oddity such as the Star Concealment Grass would not necessarily exceed ten plants in the entire Tianxuan Continent combined.

Abusing Xiao Yulong was merely in passing. For himself, more grandfather and little aunt suffered everything to get back a little interest …… just a little interest!

What he really wanted to kill was Xiao Manyun! However, even if he utilized the magical ability of the Star Concealment Pill, it was simply impossible for him to kill Xiao Manyun. Although he didn’t know Xiao Manyun’s Xuan power, even though he was a straw man, after all, he came from the Xiao Sect, and his Xuan power was bound to exceed Xiao Yulong’s by an unknown number of notches.

But now can not, there will be a day he will allow himself to be able to …… this debt, he vowed to ten million times to get back! He is not before that weak and inferior Xiao Che, his will component more, is that one person proud to the world group of heroes Yun Che! Forcing his master to die, he vowed to bury all the clans in the world with him! And to injure his closest relatives, he vowed to make the Xiao Sect and Xiao Crazy Cloud regret it for the rest of their lives!

The means by which he abused Xiao Yulong was incomparably cruel, enough to cause the vast majority of people who saw that scene to break out in a full-body sweat and have nightmares. But in his eyes, that could not be called cruel at all, this was the price that those who touched his reverse scales had to pay!

Xiao Sect was already in a mess at this point, with ear-piercing alarms going on for a long time. And this is exactly what Xiao Che wanted …… He abused Xiao Yulong and set fire to the interior of the Xiao Sect, and there is also a reason to force the Xiao Sect to send an order …… for the entire sect to convene, and the people who are guarding the back of the mountain must all go back as well.

As he expected, he didn’t go far, he saw four people from Xiao Sect coming face to face in a hurry, rushing past him like the wind, heading straight to the direction of Xiao Sect.

Xiao Che accelerated his pace and headed straight to the back mountain, Si Passage Gorge.

The Thoughtfulness Gorge was a place that Xiao Sect used to lock up the errant children within the sect. Inside, it was dark and damp, hot and dry in the summer, and cold in the winter, but the good thing was that the entrance was narrow and there would not be any Xuan Beasts that were too ferocious to intrude.

In Xiao Che’s memories, there were not many people who had been imprisoned in the Siyou Gorge, and the ones who had been there for the longest period of time had not exceeded two months. But the people in the Xiao Sect clearly knew that Xiao Ling Shi was being framed, and still wanted to keep them locked up for fifteen years ……

Fifteen years …… How many fifteen years can there be in a person s life? Xiao Lingshi is only fifteen years old this year, if she has been tightly closed inside, then the most beautiful moments of her life will be spent in the darkness, coldness and loneliness …… This is how cruel torture is.

Lifting the state of invisibility, Xiao Che looked at the entrance of the Thinking Gorge, and his hands clenched for a while …… How can he allow his grandfather and his little aunt to be confined in this place all the time …… But, right now, he has no ability to save them at all, and can only watch and endure, hating ……

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Che walked forward. Without hiding, his forward movement also naturally brought up the sound of footsteps. The sound of the footsteps caught Xiao Lie’s attention within the Thoughtful Gorge, and he alertly looked outside, and when his gaze touched Xiao Che, he was violently startled and lost his voice, “Che!!!”

“Ah!”

A young girl’s cry of alarm came, followed by a rush of footsteps. Xiao Ling Shi’s figure quickly appeared at Xiao Lie’s side, her face was slightly haggard and her hair was somewhat disheveled, when she saw Xiao Che, she covered her lips with her fingers and her entire body froze there, and in only an instant, a large amount of teardrops began to swirl in her eyes ……

“Xiao Che!” She let out a cry and violently rushed over, immediately pouncing on Xiao Che’s chest, hugging him tightly with her arms, and crying out with a “whimper”. She originally thought that she would be locked up for fifteen years, Xiao Che would be expelled from the Xiao Sect, and she would not be able to see him for at least fifteen years, but she did not expect that, just like a dream, he suddenly appeared in front of her eyes again.

Xiao Lie walked over, his face full of excitement: ”Che’er …… you …… how did you come? Is it the Xiao Sect that made you come back again?”

Xiao Che shook his head and lightly patted Xiao Ling Shi’s delicate soft back, “It’s me who secretly came back …… But Grandpa don’t worry, there’s a big event within the Xiao Sect right now, everyone has been summoned back, no one will find me.”

“…… “Xiao Lie nodded, what big thing happened within Xiao Sect, he didn’t even ask. Because he was now as if his heart was dead to the Xiao Sect, even if he was exterminated, he wouldn’t be too moved.

There were multiple caves, either deep or shallow, in the Thinking Gorge. The arrangements inside were all very simple, and the only thing that caught the eye were just those few cold stone tables.

Xiao Lingshi’s crying was simply heavenly, Xiao Che hadn’t stopped her from continuing to cry, letting her vent all her grievances, fears, worries, and uncertainties to her heart’s content, otherwise, after being here for a long time, she might become melancholic …… After all, she was still just a fifteen year old girl.

By the time Xiao Ling Shi stopped, she was crying so hard that she nearly fainted.

Xiao Che and Xiao Lie sat face to face in front of the stone table, Xiao Ling Shi relied on Xiao Che’s side, her hands clasped tightly around his arm, her head leaning on his shoulder, and regardless of the fact that Xiao Lie was right next to her, she was always unwilling to let go for fear that he would once again disappear from her world.

“After you guys were locked in, did they play any tricks?” Xiao Che asked worriedly.

Xiao Lie shook his head and smiled comfortingly, “Don’t worry. That Fairy Chu from the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace hinted that she would protect us before the Xiao Sect left, and with this deterrent in place, how would they dare to harm me and Shi’er. And after Xiao Zong’s people leave, they will be even more afraid to do so, after all, my reputation as the number one expert in Liuyun City is still there, hehe.”

“That’s good.” Xiao Che nodded his head, and in his heart, he stored a gratitude towards Xia Qingyue’s master.

“Xia Qingyue is a good wife, she didn’t tear up that marriage contract until the very end.” Xiao Lie said with some melancholy.

“…… “Xiao Che nodded his head silently.

The three of them fell silent for a moment. After this heavenly calamity today, their future fate would undoubtedly be turned upside down. There were a thousand words in their hearts, but they did not know where to start ……

“Grandpa, I want to know ……”

“You want to ask, who are your real parents? Right?” Xiao Lie’s face was calm as he directly followed his words.

“Well,” Xiao Che nodded his head and looked at Xiao Lie with a solid gaze, “I believe that I wasn’t picked up for no reason …… Grandpa, you must know something right?”

Xiao Ling Shi also raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Lie with a face full of surprise.

Xiao Lie silently looked at Xiao Che for a long time before he gently sighed and slowly closed his eyes.

“I originally thought that this secret would be in my heart for the rest of my life, there will never be another person who knows …… Now, the Xiao Sect can no longer accommodate you, and you, too, have grown up, it is good to know, recognizing the ancestor, this is also the children and grandchildren’s duty… …”

“Your real father, his surname cloud ……”
