Chapter 60 – Huan Hua Palace Master

Ah, that’s right! After all, at the end of the day, a ated to help his disciple quench his fire¹ Even if he was the one who accidentally rubbed against it and stoked the fire, it’s all the sahe up abruptly, placed a paly Although it didn’t a else can be ignored! Ignored!

Exiting the stone sarcophagus and following Dreahe all the way to “The East End” After a while, the walls of the torew damp, the soles of his feet became slippery, and the qiu slowed down to avoid slipping

As they continued, weeds and wildflowers blooradually widened Trees of varied heights rose on both sides Not only was the ground slippery, but the gnarled and twisted old tree roots also threatened to trip the calls of birds could be heard A blue-and-black zenith suddenly rose up high above the white crystals, it reseht

Despite the illusion of being in a jungle, they have not left the Holy Mausoleum but only arrived at one of the special crypts within it

Each crypt in the Holy Mausoleuenerations for their own use Its designs were strange and varied Si only what they have, and decorate the rest of the house in accordance to their preferences Experts in the field of mechanisms unduly favor the Qimen Dunjia ancient divination tradition² Deuardian beasts Herbalists cultivate poisonous flowers and grasses

The owner of this tomb was obviously the last type The trees and flowers here seeqiu was determined not to touch the his hand against Luo Binghe’s waist, he took a cautious step forward

The grass and leaves rustled

Suddenly, a piercing sound accoht shattered the stillness of the air

Shen Qingqiu’s hand snapped down sharply, the Xiu Ya sword at his waist flew out and slamth from both sides did not relent

This obstacle had not been resolved before a second flash of white light struck This tihe’s throat The Xiu Ya sas blocking the first sword and couldn’t be recalled; neither could he throw Luo Binghe aside If he fell ast those treacherous flowers and plants, he would be done for!

He raised his are of the sith his bare hand

The blade cut deeply into his palm, but he could still hold it firmly, and it did not advance another half inch Blood did not drip—it poured out It spilled over Shen Qingqiu’s clothes and dyed the grass on the ground bright red

He finally realized how painful it rabbed at his blade

Shen Qingqiu’s eyes reddened He jerked his head and his pupils shrank

I never i-Jun spoke of was actually referring to these two people

Two people enarled old trees

To be precise, only one person stepped out; the other one was pushed on a wheelchair-like contraption

The one standing was a beautiful wo wheeled forrapped in a rough felt blanket from the neck down, but the exposed head was not unfa sword still strove to rip The force was strong, and the blade was close to slicing his pale except for the addition of a fake smile: “Lady Qiu, Old Palace Master, I trust you’ve been well”

Qiu Haitang’s eyes were filled with resentitatedly, and his voice was hoarse: “Peak Lord Shen, look at me Do I look well?”

The word “well”—it’s just used as a casual greeting and not h

Upon careful observation, he found that the use of the word “well” was indeed greatly ironic at this point In the past, the Old Palace Master was a pro their firstthe unrest at Jinlan City, his bearing and appearance were faultless But now, the previously led, his face was so lined that soil filled the creases, and the wrinkles piled up were denser than the aged trees behind him

The Old Palace Master said darkly: “You qiu thought, would you let us go if I say I don’t find it strange at all? What his mouth said: “I heard that the Old Palace Master had retired froo back to his native place and live in seclusion⁴ or was roa⁵ around without a care in the world”

The Old Palace Master sneered: “Retired or roa the world? Did you really believe that? In the entire Huan Hua Palace, the entire world, how many people actually believe it? If you want the truth, ask your good disciple”

He didn’t knoas going on, but they seeqiu did not bat an eyelid He shi+fted Luo Binghe to his back and shi+elded hi seethed with hatred: “Shen Jiu, I have said before that I would recognize you even if you have turned to ashes I have long known your act of self-destruction at Huayue City was fake Co suicide as a form of atonement? Hehe, you’re not that kind of person In the Deht of you You really were still alive!”

You recognized only qiu lamented helplessly

On the day he was captured by Sha Hualing at the Chi Yun cave, Shen Qingqiu rescued the various factions and she caught a glimpse of him It roused her doubts, and from thereon she beca Mountain sect and was subsequently snatched away by Luo Binghe, Qiu Haitang also crossed the border and followed the up a large number of Black Moon Rhinoceros Pythons to break the sacred enchantment He was bound to be overwhelmed and distracted, and so did not notice that someone had secretly snuck in

To summarise: A woman’s hatred cannot be underestimated It’s just that, for these two people to be allied, it had never occurred to Shen Qingqiu Nor does he knohen they had started conspiring together

Thinking of this, a thought occurred to Shen Qingqiu: “Back when Lady Qiu suddenly appeared in Jinlan City, was it thanks to the Old Palace Master?”

Since Zhuzhi-Lang has denied involvement in this, it stands to reason that others had a hand in it How else could Qiu Haitang, who had no standing to speak of, have obtained the chance to come forward and denounce him?

The Old Palace Master s

Fluffy white dandelion seeds swayed and drifted in the air before theqiu said: “I wonder if I have ever offended the Old Palace Master…”

The Old Palace Master: “Since it has come to this, there is no need to hide it fro lodged in his throat: “When Luo Binghe first caave hie hter It was clear he still had you on his mind Naturally, I wanted to knohat kind of excellent person Peak Lord Shen was Who would have guessed the type of history that would be revealed toWho you were apprenticed with, the things you did, how youMountain sect—it really was extraordinary Even if there had been no sowers on the scene, you would have been guaranteed a spot in the water dungeon Although it wasn’t part of the plan, it mattered not to me”
