Chapter 312: Master of Tianji Pavilion (61)
Although He Nianguan didn't know what exactly happened when he defected, he still couldn't tolerate anyone saying that his parents were despicable people in front of him.
"It's not your turn to comment on my parents."
Hearing He Nianguan's words, the eyes of Zhaoyang Sword Master beside him flickered. In such a serious occasion, he unexpectedly thought of Venerable Chao Ran.
Back then, his master took him to the demon world, but he tried every possible means but failed to see the excitement. Today, it seems that he can know the whole picture. If his master was present, he would definitely be very excited.
However, as soon as this thought arose, it was suppressed by Zhaoyang Sword Master.
The master hasn't appeared for a long time. If the life lamp in the Sword Sect had not been broken, Master Zhaoyang Sword would almost suspect that Master Chao Ran was killed by someone in the dark because he saw something exciting that he shouldn't have seen.
However, in the entire world of cultivation, there should be no one who could murder his master without anyone noticing.
Zhaoyang Jianzun's thoughts had just begun to unwind when he heard Wentianshi speak.
The tone is joking.
"If I hadn't guided them both, do you think you would have had the chance to be born? So, you should be grateful to me."
He Nianguan pursed his lips tightly, his eyes cold.
"Bad talk."
Seeing that He Nianguan didn't believe it, the red light of the Heavenly Questioning Stone jumped: "Hehe, the Holy Maiden of the Green Water Sect was carrying a dead fetus in her belly. If it wasn't for..."
However, the words stopped abruptly just as they began.
The jumping light of the Heavenly Questioning Stone stopped instantly. It belatedly discovered something strange and angrily said, "You are trying to trick me!"
The red light suddenly jumped up a little, enough to reveal its anger.
He Nianguan clenched his hands hanging at his side, and after Wen Tianshi's tone changed a little after he said that his parents' blood flowed in his body, all his subsequent seemingly angry words were tests.
He Nian hoped to glimpse a glimpse of the truth of that year from the overly exposed state of the Questioning Heaven Stone.
However, before He Nianguan could figure out all the details, Wentianshi had already sensed his intention.
He Nianguan pinched his knuckles until they turned white. He glanced at Yan Qing, who had been silent beside him, and couldn't tell what his mood was at the moment.
Yan Qing sighed softly in her heart, and she gathered the Wentian Stone into her palm. The flickering red light was also pressed back into the body of the Wentian Stone.
She originally didn't want to get involved in the matter directly, which was why she let He Nianguan interrogate Tianshi himself.
But now, He Nianguan obviously couldn't get the truth out of Wentianshi. Yan Qing frowned slightly. Some things were better to be resolved quickly.
Yan Qing did not rush to speak. A stream of spiritual power rose from her palm and turned into a cage, wrapping up the entire Asking Heavenly Stone and seeping into the Asking Heavenly Stone bit by bit.
The suppressed red light on the surface of the Wentian Stone reappeared, trying to fight against Yan Qing's spiritual power. However, the stalemate lasted only a second before the light dissipated.
The spiritual wisdom of the Heavenly Questioning Stone screamed: "After the Nine-Day Thunder Tribulation, how could your strength not be damaged?!"
Yan Qing's eyelashes trembled, his face was still pale, but the spiritual power in his hands increased a little bit.
Suppressed by Yan Qing's spiritual power, Wentianshi had a premonition that if this person increased his spiritual power by even a little bit, his spiritual intelligence, which had been born with great difficulty, would be wiped out.
Its tone was much weaker than before: "I can tell you anything you want to know, but I have one condition."
This person had the power to wipe it out, but he didn't do so. Instead, he used this form of oppression. It was obvious that he had an ulterior motive.
Combined with the question asked by the young man just now, Wentianshi had already guessed what they wanted to ask, and it only asked this question to be completely sure. What was really important was the next sentence it said.
The Heavenly Questioning Stone paused for a moment, and after seeing that Yan Qing's spiritual energy transmission speed had slowed down a bit, it continued: "I want you to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to ensure that my spiritual wisdom will not be extinguished."
Anyone who dares to violate the oath sworn by Heaven will be punished by Heaven.
Yan Qing smiled and said, "What qualifications do you have to make conditions with me now?"
However, despite saying so, Yan Qing still swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao, promising to ask the Heavenly Stone to protect its spiritual intelligence.
He Nianguan looked at Xiang Yanqing and saw a hint of self-blame in his eyes.
The master was very powerful and had never been held hostage by anyone, but now, for his sake, he was forced to swear an oath to the heavens.
What's more, the Wentian Stone will be used to repair the cracks sooner or later. Now that the master has promised to keep the Wentian Stone's intelligence immortal, how will the cracks be repaired later?
After all, he was the one who dragged down the Master.
He Nianguan opened his mouth and wanted to tell Yan Qing that he didn't want to know the truth anymore. But before he could finish his words, Song Nanfeng, who had been serving as a background figure, suddenly spoke. His voice was so soft that only He Nianguan could hear it.
"Now that His Majesty has made the oath to the Heavenly Dao, why do you have to pretend to be so? If you want to stop His Majesty, you can just speak up earlier."
Hearing this, He Nianguan's eyes turned red, and he closed his eyes to suppress the redness.
He Nianguan wanted to stop it before, but his master was too aggressive and before he could react, he made a Heavenly Oath with Wentianshi.
But what Song Nanfeng said was indeed correct, it was indeed too late now...
Just when He Nianguan was deeply remorseful, Yan Qing had already asked Wentianshi about the truth about the simultaneous defection of the Holy Maiden of the Bishui Sect and the High Priest of the Demon Realm.
After seeing Yan Qing swear an oath to the Heaven, Wen Tianshi stopped hiding anything and told him everything he knew and participated in.
It turned out that when the Wentian Stone had just gained intelligence, it was discovered by He Xu, the high priest who had not yet defected to the demon world.
But before He Xu could tell the Demon King about this matter, he was stunned by another piece of news.
Xu Lan, the saintess of Bishui Sect, shares his thoughts. In order to be with him, she is willing to accept the punishment of Bishui Sect, abandon all her cultivation, and leave Bishui Sect.
When He Xu learned the news, Xu Lan had already received the punishment from the Bishui Sect.
After all, the Bishui Sect showed some mercy and did not kill her. Her cultivation was only half wasted, and there is still a possibility that she can recuperate and return to the path of Taoism, but she is no longer the Saint of the Bishui Sect.
If that were the case, Xu Lan's departure would not be considered as defection, and it would be even more impossible for the Bi Shui Sect to send disciples to hunt down Xu Lan.
The only unexpected event that led to all these changes was that Xu Lan was actually pregnant. It was difficult for a human-demon union to give birth to a child. Although the Bishui Sect showed some mercy, it was a huge blow to her foundation. The baby in her belly was born prematurely.
He Xu's original form was a python, and what Xu Lan gave birth to was an egg, an egg without any breath of life, which had already died in Xu Lan's belly.
Laying this egg also consumed most of Xu Lan's energy, and she no longer had the chance to practice cultivation.
