Chapter 58: An Unexpected Encounter With Eldest Senior Sister!
【“Only now did you realize it? Too late!”】
【You used the Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger to pin the Qingyun Sect Master in the air, then sent out streak after streak of Taixu Sword Aura, stabbing into his acupoints.】
【“So you like calling people over from the Central Continent, do you? Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to raise that External Incarnation?”】
【The Qingyun Sect Master, whose aura had already weakened, suddenly lifted his head and stared at you in shock after hearing those words.】
【“What? That person was your incarnation?”】
【“How is that possible? At the time you were only at Late Deity Transformation. How could you possibly have had an External Incarnation at Mid Deity Transformation?”】
【You merely let out a cold laugh and did not bother explaining much.】
【“The dead do not need to know that much!”】
【After dealing with the Qingyun Sect Master, you immediately began rushing toward the Sword Pavilion.】
【You had not returned to the Sword Pavilion for so many years, and you wanted to see how Ye Chuxue and the others were doing now.】
【Your plan was to return to the Sword Pavilion, then immediately set off for the Central Continent.】
【The death of the Qingyun Sect Master could not be hidden for long. It would soon be discovered, and when that happened, the Jun Family would still send people over.】
【Half a month later, you returned to the Sword Pavilion.】
【Standing on the mountain and looking at the ruins before you, you froze slightly.】
【Since you had not exposed yourself, by all logic Chu Wudi should only have come to Youzhou three years later.】
【Now that the Sword Pavilion had been destroyed, there was no need to think further. The Blood Stele in the Blood Demon Secret Realm had surely already been destroyed, and the bizarre insect sealed beneath it had broken free.】
【You desperately wanted to investigate and find out what had happened, but you knew you did not have much time.】
【After struggling for a long time, a wave of helplessness washed over you.】
【You had cultivated so desperately, yet in the end you still could not change anything. Feeling the nameless fire burning within your body, you flew toward the Yin-Yang Sect.】
【A month later, news spread within the Yin-Yang Sect that the Yin-Yang Sect Master had been killed.】
【This matter immediately threw the whole of Youzhou into turmoil.】
【The strongest Void Refinement expert in Youzhou had actually been killed by some mysterious person, causing everyone to recall the days more than ten years ago when that demonic fiend had run rampant.】
【For a time, rumors spread wildly throughout Youzhou, and the Feathered Ascension Sect Master urgently contacted members of the Hun Family.】
【At the same time, Qingzhou also discovered that the Qingyun Sect Master had died near the Heavenly Abyss.】
【Everyone in Qingzhou grew tense as well.】
【Within such a short time, the strongest figures in Qingzhou and Youzhou had died one after another. The whole matter was filled with an eerie strangeness.】
【The Myriad Demon Sect Master urgently contacted members of the Jun Family.】
【And you, the one responsible for all of this, were already on the road to the Central Continent.】
【At the time, your heart had been filled with baleful fury, and with no other choice, you had gone to the Yin-Yang Sect.】
【You had gone there to kill the Yin-Yang Sect Master who had hunted you down in the past, using that as a way to vent and calm the baleful aura within yourself, lest you lose control and fall into deviation.】
【Half a year later, you arrived in the Central Continent once more.】
【Only this time, because you had departed from Youzhou, you arrived in the Eastern Region of the Central Continent.】
【After arriving in the Eastern Region, you discovered that its situation was completely different from that of the Southern Region.】
【The top powers of the Eastern Region were the Four Great Families, followed by the Three Sects and Five Cults.】
【After making some inquiries, you learned that these Four Great Families were the Jun, Hun, Li, and Xiao families—four top-tier clans.】
【The moment you heard of the Jun and Hun families, your whole body shuddered.】
【You had thought that after escaping Qingzhou and Youzhou, you would never run into members of the Jun Family or the Hun Family again.】
【You had not expected that fate would be so narrow. The moment you arrived in the Central Continent, you encountered them again.】
【You suddenly thought of the five great continents of the Canglan Realm. Now that the Jun and Hun families controlled Qingzhou and Youzhou, then Xuanzhou and Huangzhou were very likely controlled by the other two families.】
【You entered the region controlled by the Jun Family and lay in wait at an inn.】
【After three months of observation, you discovered that every member of the Jun Family below Foundation Establishment carried an extremely dense strange aura on their bodies.】
【This phenomenon was highly abnormal, so you decided to capture a core disciple above Foundation Establishment and use Soul Searching Technique on him to see if you could learn anything.】
【Two months later, you finally caught a Jun Family core disciple who had gone out.】
【After capturing him, you used Soul Searching Technique on him and learned that his name was Jun Ziye.】
【From Jun Ziye’s memories, you discovered that when the upper echelon of the Jun Family’s disciples were still at Layer 1 of Qi Refining, they had already begun distributing spiritual medicines to all disciples every month.】
【And these spiritual medicines would continue to be distributed until they broke through to Foundation Establishment.】
【The Jun Family’s explanation was also very simple: this was a benefit granted by the Jun Family to every disciple so they could build a more solid foundation during the Qi Refining stage.】
【After seeing these memories, you could not help but sigh at how cautious these great families really were in handling things.】
【In your view, those spiritual medicines were not spiritual medicines at all. They could even be called poisons.】
【Although those medicines could bring them certain benefits, the strange aura attached to them was even denser.】
【That made you recall what had happened back in the Qingyun Sect, when you went to the Alchemy Hall and the Elder gave you spiritual medicine.】
【Back then, it was precisely after taking that spiritual medicine and breaking through to Foundation Establishment that the bizarre insect, which you had originally been able to suppress, suddenly became so powerful that you had no ability to resist, and in the end your Primordial Spirit was devoured.】
【After fully understanding the matter, you gave up on staying in the Eastern Region.】
【At first, you had wanted to see whether among these Four Great Families there might be humans like Zhou Lingxi, so that you could undermine those families from within.】
【In the nineteenth year, you arrived in the Southern Region of the Central Continent.】
【On the road from the Eastern Region to the Southern Region, you passed through the Desolate Deathlands.】
【As you passed by the Desolate Deathlands, looking at that stretch of black mist still made your heart palpitate with fear. The experience inside remained unforgettable to this day.】
【After arriving in the Southern Region, you headed directly toward the Great Zhou Dynasty.】
【At this point in time, Zhou Lingxi should already have been expelled from the imperial family.】
【Two months later, you arrived at the Imperial Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.】
【You walked toward the little courtyard from your memories. If you remembered correctly, it had been an abandoned little courtyard until you rented it in a previous simulation.】
【Soon, you found that small courtyard tucked away in a corner.】
【Looking at the gate before you, you could not help but frown.】
【The gate in front of you looked as good as new, not at all like a place that had been unoccupied for a long time.】
【Seeing this, you had no choice but to turn and leave.】
【Just as you turned to go, the wooden door behind you opened.】
【“Please come in, young master. I can tell that you are human.”】
【Hearing that familiar voice behind you, you turned around in astonishment and looked at the woman who had spoken.】
【You had not expected that the person living here would actually be Zhou Lingxi.】
【You remembered that when you first met Zhou Lingxi, she had been in a wandering state. How was she now living here?】
【And from what Zhou Lingxi had just said, you could tell that she already knew a great deal.】
【Filled with curiosity, you followed her into the little courtyard.】
【After entering the courtyard, you saw a woman sitting at a stone table. The woman’s face caused you to fall into a brief daze.】
【“Eldest Senior Sister?”】
