C98 Cunninghamia Lanceolata Thunb (1/2)
The wind from the top of the cliff whistled past, blowing against one's face with the feeling of a knife slicing through it. Standing on the peak of the Mizar Peak and facing the hundred thousand zhang deep cliff, Yun Jiuchang's thoughts were in endless turmoil. In the end, he still could not save Painting Hall Spring. Could the unpolished jade that fell off the cliff with her really be made of Twilight Jade?
Yun Jiu Tang leaned over and looked at the bottomless cliff. What kind of world was it at the bottom? Was this really the legendary Heavenly Poison Array?
”Sigh, I didn't expect that after being trapped by love for the rest of my life, he still died because of love, what a pity! ”What a pity!” Murong Dawn shook his head as he said this in a regretful tone.
”Is there something wrong with being stuck in such a predicament? It's just that she's too stubborn and doesn't understand how to let go and release herself in time …” Gu Xueluo rather admired Painting Hall's infatuation, which was why she refuted Murong Ming.
Yun Jiu Tang was no longer in the mood to argue with them. He looked at Yin Bao Scroll's furious face and cupped his fists as he said, ”Elder, this is all because of my demon realm's fault. This junior also did not know that this Spring Painting Hall was ordered by someone else. As he spoke, he bowed deeply in apology, his attitude very humble and gentle.
”Is this still called not causing a disaster? If the falling snow was really made out of wood or jade, who can make up for the loss?” Yu Duanzhi had been supporting Yu Jiu, and seeing that this matter had been caused by the demon realm, he wanted to denounce Yun Jiu Tang.
As if he hadn't heard the crowd's discussion, Yin Baoyun walked forward to help Yun Jiuchang up, ”Young Master Yun, don't blame yourself too much. When Painting Hall's Chun sneaked in from the demon realm, you were not yet possessed. This has nothing to do with you …”
”Master, but he's the young master Gu Xing of the Devil Realm after all. How could he not know that the Devil Realm has been working so hard for so many years? He just wants to pretend to be a good person here!” He slowly helped his father sit on a rock to the side and saw that Yu Zhitong's pale face had turned slightly red.
Yin Bao rolled his eyes, ”Words, do you still think it's not messy enough? If Young Master Yun didn't discover the identity of Painting Hall's Chun, I don't know how long we would have been tricked.” What if he really had ill intentions and used the Great Sea to kill the beasts and repeatedly helped the Supreme Mystery City in the face of danger? ”Why don't you think about it carefully? Don't be fooled by your father's mistake!” Yin Baoyun's sharp gaze fell upon Yu Zhangxiu. His face suddenly turned deathly pale, and his entire body trembled in fear. Yu Duancai knew the filth between Yu Zhangxiu and Painting Hall Spring, so he was silent.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, he jumped out and said, ”Sigh, okay, let's stop arguing and avoid hurting our relationship.” He slowly paced back and forth, and the moustache on the corner of his mouth moved up and down, ”From what I see, if we really want to recover the damage, we should send a team of people down the cliff. We'll find that gem after three days and three nights of searching.” Looking at the silence on everyone's faces, he was filled with self-satisfaction at his own thoughts.
Yun Jiuchang pondered for a moment, ”How come I heard that the bottom of the mountain cliff is the Heaven Poison Formation? How can it be entered by a normal person? Elder, is that right? ” In the blink of an eye, Yun Jiu Tang looked at the scroll as though he was trying to verify the answer.
The Heavenly Poison Array!
Gu Xueluo, Murong Dawn, and Yu Duancang were all shocked. The place of death that was rumored to be the most dangerous and frightening in the six realms; those who mistakenly entered this place would never be able to survive. However, they had only heard of the rumours about the Heavenly Poison Array within Ming Xie's body. Thus, they cast their gazes towards the Yin Scroll.
The Yin Treasure Scroll slowly walked to the edge of the cliff and lowered its head to look at them. After a while, clouds and mist flew past his head, and the wind from the bottom of the cliff blew in, causing his purple robe to flutter in the wind, not moving at all. He was silent for a long while before he let out a long sigh and turned around to look at the crowd, ”That's right, the bottom of the curved cliff is where the Heavenly Poison Array is located at!”
”What?!” The moment those words came out, everyone was shocked.
”In the ancient era, during the great battle of the deer chasers, Feng Bo Feilian and Yu Xuan were killed by Ying Dragon at the bottom of the Central Melody Altar. After they died, the fiendish, evil, and violent aura gradually began to emanate from their bodies, slowly gathering together to form a huge ball of evil energy at the bottom of the valley. All of the animals that came in contact with it died. Later on, the huge ball of Tian Xie Qi continued to absorb the force from the Qing Qiu mountains, and it formed a constantly expanding net of Ming Xie. The Divine Spirit and Demon mortals would be scared out of their wits if they were to enter it, while mortals would perish if they were to enter it. Until now, the Heavenly Poison Array has spread throughout the entire valley. Who knows how many lives it has taken? There are countless treasures that fell into it, but no one dares to enter. ”
Yun Jiu Tang thought to himself, it seems like the rumors about the Heaven Poison Formation were all true. The reality was even scarier than the rumors. For hundreds of thousands of years, no one survived the formation.
Seeing the silent expression on everyone's faces, Yin Bao Scroll changed the topic, ”Of course, although this Heavenly Poison Array is extremely powerful, but it only works on the bodies of flesh and blood from the Six Realms. The sharp swords and treasures that were scattered around are completely undamaged. In the early years of my life, when I was still a child in Taixuan, a Nine Tailed Spirit Fox entered the Heavenly Poison Formation by accident. Due to the aura being emitted from its body, the killing intent within the formation was reduced to the same level as the killing intent. It actually took out a few treasures that were lost by the Six Realms long time ago, but not long after, the Nine Tailed Spirit Fox still died after its body was corroded by the killing intent. ”
”Based on what you've said, it seems like there have been countless treasures hidden in the array for thousands of years,” Murong Ming couldn't help but sigh with regret as he turned around to look at Yu Chang Xiu, who was sitting on the stone, ”Master Yu Tan, since you value such a rare treasure so much, why didn't you send a few peerless experts in, and also take out that unpolished jade?”
Yu Changxiu knew that Murong Dawn was making fun of him and knew that she was in the wrong, so she didn't refute.
The painting hall had already fallen off the cliff and the matter had come to an end. Everyone returned to the front hall of the central music hall. In Yun Jiu Tang's heart, he was still thinking about that unpolished jade and the Mysterious Great Vein Map, because the painting hall's spring was from the devil world and he felt somewhat guilty.
His voice was sonorous and forceful, ”Now that the matter of the Painting Hall Spring has passed, don't bring it up again in the future.” He was very clear on what Yu Chang Xiu had done, but at this moment, he didn't have a better option, he turned around to look at Yu Chang Xiu, ”Master Yu Tan, the Middle Melody Altar is the lifeblood of the Twelve Altar Altar in all four cities of Qing Qiu Mountain. As a Altar Master, you have to be clean with yourself. I don't want to see the matter of Painting Hall Spring ever happen again.” Everyone understood the meaning behind this sentence. This kind of relationship between male and female disciples really shouldn't occur.
Yun Jiu Tang could clearly see Yu Jiu Xiu standing up, trembling in pain. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile as he nodded repeatedly, his attitude humble and polite. Of course, this was all due to his own mistake. Most importantly, he was afraid that Yin Bao would strip him of his position as the Altar Lord out of rage. If that were to happen, he would have nothing left.
The purple robed man's body appeared even more lean and lean, ”The Middle Melody Altar is going to be very troublesome soon, and I'm afraid that something big will happen in the Qing Qiu Mountains. Master Yu, the Melody Altar is on you now, everything that happened in the past has already changed pages, you can't act rashly anymore, it's time to act.” Finished speaking, he slowly walked in front of Yu Changxiu and lightly patted him on the shoulder. He let out a long sigh and didn't say anything else.
Seeing this scene, Yun Jiu Tang was extremely moved. He was worthy of being called an Elder of the Supreme Mystery Capital, and was actually able to have such elegance and grandeur. He was able to accommodate Yu Chang Xiu who had made such a mistake and did not lower him to the position of Altar Lord because of Yu Chang Xiu's single mistake.
While he was deep in thought, Yin Yang treasure scroll had already walked in front of Yun Jiu Tang, ”This time thanks to Young Master Yun's help. If Young Master Yun hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid …”
Yun Jiu Tang was in the midst of blaming himself for not stopping the painting. ”Elder, please don't say that. Jiu Tang was only here a step earlier than you. If it wasn't for the fact that you hastily dealt with him, the elder would have settled this matter even more thoroughly.”
”Don't be modest, Young Master Yun. I'm not afraid of your jokes. We happened to pass by here and coincidentally met with the painting hall's spring. If it wasn't for your foresight, the consequences of the song would have been unimaginable! Honestly speaking, this old man really cannot thank you enough. Even though I lost the Mysterious Great Vein Map, it didn't end up in the hands of someone with ulterior motives. ”
