Long Fei beseeched Xie Sanniang, "Senior, this Kylin is deeply connected to a child I adopted. Could you possibly let have this skeleton?"
Xie Sanniang, with reddened eyes, said, "Before my husband died, he entrusted with two tasks. One was to retrieve the Shennong Cauldron from the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, and the other was to reclaim the Guardian Kirin.
I searched Wudang, Mount Mao, and Mount Shu, and got news from an elder involved in the matter that this cauldron is now in Kunlun’s hands. I can let you have the Kylin’s remains, but you must promise to go to Kunlun for and help retrieve this cauldron."
Wang Xiaoya felt a bit embarrassed, feeling indebted to Long Fei.
He saved their lives, yet her mother still asked more of him.
Long Fei looked at Wang Xiaoya and smiled softly, "Little Ya is my woman. I will do my best for her father’s sake, and for the Alchemy Cauldron Sect to clear their grievances. Senior, rest assured."
Wang Xiaoya felt a pang in her heart, moved to tears imdiately.
Xie Sanniang nodded, "Alright, we shall et in Kunlun."
She gestured to Qin Yao and Wang Xiaoya, indicating for the two to follow her away.
She led the way, with Wang Xiaoya following behind, went over to hold Long Fei’s hand, telling him, "I’m sorry, I can’t be with you right now. My mother is impulsive and might get into trouble if no one takes care of her. Once I help her resolve her obsession, I’ll return with you to Jade Island."
"I understand!"
Long Fei smiled, patting her head.
Lin Yingying also patted her shoulder, saying, "Stay safe, we’ll et in the Kunlun Mountains."
Wang Xiaoya nodded, waved, and bid farewell to the two.
After they left, Lin Yingying sighed, feeling sorry for Wang Xiaoya, saying, "Little Ya must have been unfortunate in her past life to have such a stubborn mother."
Long Fei said, "Xie Sanniang has had a difficult ti. When she was young, her husband and entire sect were annihilated. Her eccentric temper is understandable. Upon closer thought, she’s deeply devoted to her husband, which is quite admirable."
Lin Yingying nodded, "That’s true. If it were , I would also go to any lengths to avenge my enemies."
"Don’t curse like that; such a thing is impossible!"
Long Fei laughed and flicked her nose, then turned to tug at the chains, preparing to clean up the Kylin bones.
Lin Yingying asked, "The chain is sturdy; can you break it?"
She looked carefully and saw one end of the chain locked onto the Kylin’s leg bone.
Apparently, the later disciples of Mount Shu couldn’t cut this thing, so the bones remained here.
Long Fei explained, "Dealing with tal materials, the usual thod is to use tal to conquer tal. If the sword can’t cut through, then use fire to conquer tal. Normally, true gold fears no fire. Many tals can withstand the heat of flas. These two thods are external forces. I have an internal technique that can easily cut gold."
"What’s that?"
Lin Yingying raised her eyebrows in curiosity.
Long Fei smiled, "Swallow Gold Technique!"
Lin Yingying clicked her tongue, "Are you going to eat it? Are your teeth that strong?"
Long Fei rolled his eyes at her and placed his hand on the Cold Iron.
In his palm, a White Tiger Dharma Laksana appeared.
The Cold Iron emitted snapping sounds as if ice was cracking under heat, disintegrating into black mist which was absorbed into his palm.
Finally, with a bang, one chain broke.
Lin Yingying looked in amazent, stepping closer to see the chain half lted and devoured by Long Fei, her face filled with disbelief.
Long Fei pulled at the chain, "This Cold Iron is not ordinary; such chains are a pity. Refining them into a sword later might be of Immortal King level quality."
He wasted nothing, lting all these chains, and gathered them along with the Kylin skeleton into his Storage Ring.
Lin Yingying touched his hand, finding it sowhat dark and cold from absorbing the chill of the Cold Iron.
She worriedly asked Long Fei, "Is your hand alright?"
Long Fei chuckled, "Don’t worry, it’s fine."
Currently, the energy within him was like a small universe, with Yin and Yang changing and the five elents circulating.
No matter what gas, once inside his body, it could be decomposed and digested.
While they were talking inside, suddenly, a loud shout ca from outside, "Damn, we struck it rich! Master, we’re rich!"
Ma Tengfei drove the carriage over, having searched Mount Shu but found nothing valuable.
Upon entering this cave, seeing it filled with Spirit Stones and Magical Treasures, his eyes almost popped out.
After Long Fei and Lin Yingying went out, he was still so excited he stamred, "Mas-master, you’re amazing. The things here are worth thousands of tis what I’ve made over the years!"
Long Fei, witnessing his lack of composure, admonished, "A gentleman loves money, but takes it in the right way. We ca to Mount Shu to resolve causality; this is the will of the Heavenly Dao. If you seize the wealth here, you create your own causality, which will bring retribution in the future. Leave these things for Shen Feng’s siblings!"
"Causality?"
Ma Tengfei, hearing him speak so earnestly, quickly took out the two bottles of Pills he had just pocketed.
Long Fei was rely scaring him; causality exists, but as long as you don’t kill, it’s not that serious.
Mount Shu was destroyed, and Shen Feng couldn’t co to terms with it.
Long Fei had a relationship with them, and he couldn’t leave them with nothing.
He took Lin Yingying and Ma Tengfei to leave; as they were leaving, Shen Yan’er ca alone to see them off.
Shen Feng had a dark face and didn’t want to et them.
Long Fei passed the formation chanisms of the cave to Shen Yan’er, telling her if there was danger, she and her brother could co to Ningbi Cliff to hide.
Shen Yan’er didn’t understand, just nodded in thanks.
After they drove the carriage away, Shen Yan’er soon understood the aning of Long Fei’s words.
Below Mount Shu, a large group of cultivators had gathered.
A dark mass, stretching far and wide.
Voices echoed up from the foot of the mountain, "Mount Shu’s treacherous dogs, you’ve faced Heavenly Retribution now. Let’s rush up and seize back the people’s wealth they’ve plundered over the years."
"Brothers, charge!"
"Smash Mount Shu, share the treasures!"
"..."
During the battle earlier, all the craftsn on the mountain fled down, spreading the news below.
The cultivators, rchants, and farrs in the city all felt an opportunity was at hand upon hearing the news.
In a short ti, as many as a hundred thousand people gathered, heading up the mountain.
The surrounding sects, upon hearing the news, moved swiftly, even daring the journey there.
Shen Yan’er, in shock, hurried to call her brother up to Ningbi Cliff. It was obvious the two of them couldn’t hold off so many people.
Shen Feng, in his anger, carved a large date on Ningbi Cliff with his sword. This date later beca a day of sha for the new Mount Shu Sect.
But, these events unfolded hundreds of years later.
Whenever future disciples saw this cliff carving, they would grit their teeth in hatred toward Long Fei, the original instigator.
On the stone cliff was inscribed: On this day of sha, a hundred thousand Loose Cultivators first climbed Mount Shu, like locusts, scouring Mount Shu clean. Wherever they went, halls were dismantled, not a brick or tile left. Herbs were uprooted, digging three feet deep. For a whole month, the flow of refugees and Loose Cultivators never ceased. In the end, except for Ningbi Cliff, Mount Shu Sect completely turned into barren wilderness...
