Chapter 657: The Birth of the Lord of Trouble (Part )
"What ghost?" The elders looked at each other and found that they all had the same puzzlement on their faces. Some of them reacted and pointed at the young man and cursed him.
"How dare you tease us?! Xuanmen is a place for spiritual practice, how could it be related to ghosts!"
The young man found the elders' arguments even more ridiculous. Instead, the old kid next to him began to hesitate.
“…Xiao Hei, we may have really misunderstood the elders. They may really have nothing to do with the disappearance of Huaiyu and Huaijin.”
The young man frowned, his breathing was unstable, and blood was still oozing from his lips. "But old man, didn't you say that ghosts like you who live in the Xuanmen territory are a great tonic for the Xuanmen people?"
"It is indeed a tonic, but this does not prove that it was the elders of Xuanmen who captured Huaiyu and Huaijin. In order to help you, the two of them had very little strength left..."
The old ghost became more and more certain, "It is very likely that it dissipated on its own."
"This is really my fault. I let you, Xiao Hei, act rashly..."
The young man wiped the blood from his lips expressionlessly, "It has nothing to do with you. No matter what your answer is, what happened today will happen."
"There has to be a resolution to the grudge, right?"
The old ghost shook his head in shame. The young man stopped trying to comfort him and said, "If the elders have anything to do with the ghosts today, I will use their power to avenge them. If not..."
The boy's eyes were firm and cold, "I am avenging myself!"
When the people present understood the meaning of the boy's words, their faces changed drastically.
"You are such a troublemaker! How dare you get involved with ghosts, especially in Xuanmen's territory? I think you really don't want to live anymore!"
"Besides, what grudge do you have? Who do you have a grudge against? Is it the fellow disciples who treat you as a brother, or the sect that has taught you since you were a child and has no complaints?!"
"Brothers?" The boy seemed to be extremely disgusted with these two words. "Are they the kind of brothers who would throw me into a cold pond in winter? Or are they the kind of brothers who would insert silver needles into my body through the acupuncture points? Or..."
With a "rustle", the young man suddenly tore off his upper body clothes. Under the gaze of the sect leader, the elders were too late to stop him.
"Siblings who will throw bad water on me?"
The boy revealed his skinny and scarred body. The most shocking things on his abnormally pale skin were the wounds on his shoulders and waist.
Because the wound was not treated quickly, it festered and festered, and now emits a disgusting stench.
Everyone was shocked, and the old ghost was also shocked, "It shouldn't be... The power that Huaiyu Huaijin gave you should be enough for you to repair your body... Besides, you got so much power from the black book..."
A mocking smile appeared on the young man's face. He looked up at the lofty leader. Her delicate face was hidden in the morning light and could not be seen clearly.
"I did it on purpose."
"I just want myself to remember the pain so that I won't forget the pain after the scar heals."
The scene suddenly became tense. Most of the Xuanmen disciples knew that the young man had a bad life in Xuanmen, but they never thought it would be so serious... They were indifferent bystanders, not participants in the crime, and therefore, they underestimated the suffering of the victims.
As for those who directly attacked the young man, they are now floating in the sky, spitting blood in bursts.
Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. The young man has not forgotten the principles that the compassionate master taught him when he first brought him to Xuanmen.
Thinking about it now, those days weren’t so bad. One could even say… good?
But it doesn't matter. All the beautiful memories have now been covered by hatred, just like him. He will only become a disaster step by step. Living...
Killed by her.
She was as hateful as those who hurt him, or even more hateful than them.
She was the author of all his misfortunes.
Although the power of the Black Book is strong, it is still no match for the leader of Xuanmen. In addition, the young man has only been practicing for a short time, so he returned to Xuanmen for revenge almost as soon as he got the power.
If the master had not come out this time, the young man would have been able to do as he wished and easily kill those disciples who attacked him and the elders who condoned those disciples.
pity……
She had never come out of seclusion before, but she came at such a timely moment. This made the boy hate her even more.
After all, she never showed up once when he was being tortured.
In fact, not only was the young man resentful and puzzled by the sudden arrival of the Sect Leader, but the elders of Xuanmen were also confused about the reason.
After seeing with their own eyes the leader locking the young man into a pitch-dark water dungeon, the elders felt relieved.
One elder could not hold back and cautiously probed, "...Why did the master come out of seclusion without any warning this time? Before you went into seclusion, you said that you would not come out before the fifteen-year period was up..."
Upon hearing this, the head of the sect just looked at the key to the water dungeon in his palm and started talking about something unrelated again. His cold voice was like the thin frost hanging on the branches in the chilly spring.
"Xuanmen has always taken the safety of the people of the world as its own responsibility. Our responsibility is to comprehend the secrets of heaven and protect the people of dawn."
The elders didn't understand why the leader suddenly mentioned this, but that didn't stop them from breaking out in cold sweats.
The leader is a rather elusive person, she has no weaknesses because she has no emotions or desires.
This resulted in the elders often feeling that talking with the Sect Leader was like wandering in a fog that they could never see clearly.
They will never be able to figure out the leader's thoughts as they can figure out other people's thoughts.
"No... yes, this is our responsibility."
"I have comprehended the mysteries of heaven and even known the destiny. Before me, no previous Xuanmen leader had ever achieved this."
"That's right! The master is truly a man of genius to be able to accomplish such a great feat!" The elders still didn't understand, but their instincts made them unable to help but praise him.
"We in the Xuan Sect are fortunate to be led by the Sect Master!"
"Observing the celestial phenomena and knowing the future, the foundation of Xuanmen has been passed down for thousands of years. Now with such a breakthrough, it will continue for thousands of generations. This is a blessing for all living beings!"
An elder immediately changed the subject, "So for the sake of the common people and the great cause of Xuanmen, you, the head, should 'deal with' the disaster star as soon as possible!"
The head of the sect suddenly raised his eyes and stared at the elder who said this.
"You don't understand me."
The elders were stunned. "Then... what do you mean, Master?"
"I was thinking..." The leader's gaze seemed to penetrate the heavy door of the water prison, passed through layer after layer of walls, and stared at the young man who was hanging in the dark water.
"Did I do something wrong?"
The air was choked and there was no sound from the dungeon door for a long time.
An elder laughed with a trembling voice: "Master... Why would the master think so?"
After this sentence, the surrounding voices began to sound again.
"Master, you may have accomplished something that no previous master has done. You deserve great credit! This is a great thing! How come... how come you feel that you have made a mistake?"
"Master, are you actually pitying that calamity star? Did that calamity star shake you?!"
The elders hurriedly explained, "Those disciples have already explained that they have no ill will towards him, they were just joking, and besides..."
"Why is it that in such a large sect with so many disciples, they only bully him? Is he not at fault at all?"
The head of the sect signaled the elders to shut up, "There is no need to discuss this matter any further, it is over."
"The leader is truly wise!" The elders were delighted, but before they could even begin to rejoice, the smiles on their faces froze.
The head of the sect, half of whose face was hidden in the shadow of the gate, looked calm, his lips moving, "Before imprisoning Sang Ning..."
"I have slain them."
