Chapter 771 - 408: I Don’t Know_2
Lingxu didn’t blame him for interrupting, just furrowed his brows, clearly troubled by some matters, unable to confide in anyone, hence he said everything,
"He’s definitely not human, not a demon, not a ghost, not even an insect, just... I don’t know... I truly don’t know..."
Tie Dan didn’t understand,
"What do you mean by you don’t know? Aren’t you the world’s number one, who never miscalculates, the Mystic Sect Leader?"
Lingxu sighed,
"The unknown remains unknown, even Thunder Ancestor has many unresolved mysteries, let alone me?
Anyway, the first time I heard the name Nan Hua was when I learned the Nine Heavens Leisure Immortal Monarch’s Primordial Spirit emerged, traveling the void, and forming a Daoist companion.
Hmm, so I still have to mention Jiuxiao, Jiuxiao that guy...
Alas, though everyone says the Immortal Palace this isn’t good and that isn’t great, those commanded by the Immortal Palace across Twelve Countries, ordering Six Gates to capture, aren’t necessarily all bad people either.
For example, Jiuxiao was originally a rapist, a notorious bandit, a Demon King, a gluttonous wicked ghost, born untamable scum bastard, came out of the womb a scoundrel.
This fellow, relying on his Left Dao skills, unparalleled Lightness Skill, specialized in stealing Gate Valve Official’s daughters, clan aristocrat women, I heard he even captivated Ziwei Constellation.
In the end caused public outrage, cries for death, nowhere to run, fled to Rebel Army territory to hide.
So much so, the Immortal Soldiers hunting thieves during the siege of Xuan Nu Mountain Range were mostly there to catch him.
Later, he was castrated by Xuan Nu’s monkeys, only then did he reform, turned over a new leaf, joined Xuan Nu’s Rebel Army.
Though later, it was him who disguised as a eunuch to infiltrate the palace, delivering messages to Mystic Sect, ultimately stealing the Imperial Divine Weapon, assassinating the Immortal Emperor, achieving great merit.
But in the end, it’s hard to change the essence, blinded by lust, eventually Jiuxiao that scoundrel perceived transformation techniques from the Heavenly Book, created Xiaoyao Demon Path.
Not only that, after defeating the Immortal Palace, he also researched a heap of Outer Heaven Secret Techniques, Ancient Daoist Collections stolen from the harem, first studying the long-lost Taixu Divine Technique.
And independently deduced a heap of bizarre secret techniques like Divine Traveling Void, Body Swapping, to undergo Yin Yang Transformation, Divine Dao Exchange, Dual Cultivation with disciples.
Hey, if such talent and comprehension could be applied on the right path, it probably wouldn’t fall short of Thunder Ancestor.
Character and morals aside, with such vast Divine Skills, taking the fifth position among the Four Great Heavenly Kings, succeeding as Sect Leader, wouldn’t be an issue.
Ahem, digressing, in any case...
Regarding this Nan Hua, it’s rumored that he was a friend Jiuxiao met while using secret techniques, Primordial Spirit Emergence, frolicking in the mortal world.
Yet it’s unknown what evil techniques that person possessed, actually captivating the Nine Heavens Immortal Monarch, since then he secluded himself completely, disregarding Mystic Sect’s affairs, amusing himself with that person all day.
However, mundane matters were handled by our Four Towns, so it wasn’t much of a problem.
But ever since Thunder Ancestor’s Harmonization, Jiuxiao had no one to suppress him, gradually deviating, indulging in evil paths, engaging in insane activities, finally inciting a catastrophic disaster, ushering Nan Hua into prominence."
Tie Dan frowned, sharply catching on,
"Wait, so what does it mean ushering into prominence? Was he previously... not prominent??"
Lingxu fell silent, momentarily lost in thought, as if transported back to distant times,
"I don’t know, no one knows, because none of us have seen Nan Hua face to face, yet this person seems to truly exist.
It seems the entirety of the Leisure Sect, beneath Jiuxiao, speaks affirmatively, everyone had dealings with him.
Yet in our Hu Temple, no one really has met this person head-on.
Now thinking back, perhaps that guy was the dirty thing from the Void, it was Jiuxiao that damned bastard who released him.
However at that time, the Immortal Palace toppled the realm, chaos ensued, many extraordinary figures opportunistically emerged.
Then we were busy suppressing various demonic bugs, hunting down remnants of the Immortal Palace, eradicating various bizarre demons and monsters.
The peculiar occurrences behind us, we truly didn’t pay them any mind, who knew later..."
Lingxu paused for a moment, lifted his head, closed his eyes,
"Recalling now, I still remember, that night’s astral configuration was unusual.
The Eight Stars of Liang shone with unprecedented brightness, as if about to plummet from above.
It seemed... an unparalleled terrifying power was descending upon the mortal world...
West White Tiger, Bi-er Eight Stars, Chariot Gathering, presiding over border soldiers.
At that time, our four towns sensed impending calamity, disaster descending, great misfortune approaching.
Merely we all thought it was another Insect Queen emerging, or the Immortal Palace stirring trouble again, staging a comeback.
So each Hu Temple stationed guards, Mountain Men Hidden Immortals, followed Thunder Ancestor’s established protocol, hurriedly went to Sword Pavilion to fetch swords, prepared to gather military might, ready for battle.
Yet when we arrived, we discovered something amiss.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, Nine Branches of Leisure Sect, unbelievably were annihilated overnight."
Tie Dan stared at him.
Lingxu also opened his eyes, staring at Tie Dan.
Both stared into each other’s eyes in silence for a while, finally Tie Dan slowly spoke.
"What did you say.
The Leisure Lineage, wasn’t eradicated by you?
Was it Nan Hua?"
Lingxu remained silent for a while.
"I don’t know."
Tie Dan raised his eyebrow.
Lingxu sighed,
"I truly don’t know, upon arrival, I only personally witnessed, the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect all exploded.
Regardless of cultivation, irrespective of gender, exploded from internal organs below, just like... just like childbirth...
