Hell Emperor

Chapter 238 Shen Qingge - Memories

While everyone was talking and laughing, Xie Xinyu's heart suddenly trembled.

She looked around, but found nothing, and was confused.

Li Fei'e noticed her strangeness, put her hands on her waist, and asked in a tender voice: "Sister Xinyu, what's wrong? You look a little uneasy. Have you not adapted to the new power after your cultivation?"

Xie Xinyu frowned slightly, and the confusion between her eyebrows did not diminish: "It's not the case, but as my realm improves, my perception has become more acute. The feeling that I ignored not long ago is now showing strangeness..."

After a pause, Xie Xinyu said puzzledly: "That feeling is like being watched in the dark, which makes me shudder, as if being stared at by a ferocious beast, and I will be in danger at any time..."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xia Wei's face condensed. She let go of her perception and explored for a while, but there was no strange breath, as if everything was just Xie Xinyu's illusion.

Xia Wei frowned and asked in confusion: "I didn't find any enemies around, Sister Xinyu, could it be that you sensed it wrong?"

"No? Maybe it's just my illusion..." Xie Xinyu didn't know what was going on. The feeling was erratic. If it weren't for her current state, with the help of Snow Lotus Stewed Tofu, her realm had risen to the middle stage of the third level, she wouldn't be able to feel that breath, "But that feeling still makes me uneasy."

After listening to Xie Xinyu's words, Li Fei'e also restrained the smile on his face and said seriously: "The feeling of danger is not groundless. Since you have sensed the danger, you should be more vigilant during this period. No matter where you go, you must be with your family."

Xia Wei patted her chest and said: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I won't let anyone hurt you. I will protect you!"

Even the confused Nan Linghe had a look of fear in his eyes. He also showed some concern: "Sister Xinyu, otherwise, you'd better hide in the Qionglou painting. As long as you don't come out, you won't encounter any danger."

Faced with everyone's sincere concern, Xie Xinyu also felt a warm feeling. She just said that she seemed to be targeted by someone, and her family members were so anxious that they thought of various ways to protect her, which also made her heart full of gratitude:

"No need, I have refined a fourth-level Bai Wuchang puppet in my soul-calling flag, and now my cultivation has reached the middle stage of the third level, and ordinary enemies can't do anything to me. Speaking of which, I really want to know who dares to attack me under the protection of all the family members."

The Bai Wuchang puppet mentioned by Xie Xinyu is Xie Bian, the head of the family who once betrayed her. With the help of everyone, Xie Bian was captured alive and handed over to her for refining, and eventually became a puppet without any mind.

Puppets at the fourth level are extremely rare in the mortal world, enough to deal with most enemies and effectively protect Xie Xinyu's safety.

After some preparation, everyone took Xue Ling and headed down the mountain to meet up with Shen Qingge and others who stayed there.

On the way, the various scenes after the avalanche also attracted everyone's attention.

The originally majestic and tall snow mountain is now quite tragic. The collapsed rocks and broken trees are scattered all over the place, completely blocking the road, and the scene is miserable everywhere.

Back to the old site of Hanqiao Village, it has been completely swallowed up by the heavy snow, leaving only a piece of ruins, and many low houses are buried deep in the snow, without any life.

Several people let go of their perception, but did not sense the breath of any living creatures under the snow.

Li Fei'e scratched his head and sighed: "The villagers here would never have thought that the village that was still fine in the morning would become like this now. Not only are there not many people left, but even the village is gone... It really suffered an unprovoked disaster."

Xia Wei looked around and slowly said: "This is what they deserve! Who let them indulge in evil?"

Li Fei'e looked at her with helpless eyes: "Even if you uphold justice, but all lives are gone, only a mess is left, what's the point?"

Xia Wei said angrily: "Of course it is meaningful! Our actions of upholding justice are the most meaningful. My master, he asked me to seek justice for people, he asked me to fight for justice, I will never let him down..."

Seeing that Xia Wei was going to speak at length again, no one could shake her ideas, Li Fei'e was simply scared, and said weakly: "Okay, okay, I understand what you mean. Really... I don't know who else in the world can convince you except Brother Jie."

After the realm was upgraded, Li Fei'e's temperament was completely renewed, and even his steps became lighter.

When Xia Wei walked on the snow, her slender legs would still sink into the snow until her knees, but Li Fei'e would not. Her footsteps landed on the soft snow, only pressing down a shallow layer of snow, less than a knuckle deep, which made her standing on the snow look a head taller than Xia Wei.

Despite this, Li Fei'e was still suppressed by Xia Wei in terms of momentum, and there was no way to convince her at all.

Even Nan Linghe noticed the strangeness of Li Fei'e standing on the soft snow, and there was a bit of curiosity in her bright eyes: "Sister Fei'e, how did you do it?"

Following Nan Linghe's line of sight, Li Fei'e also lowered her head and looked at her feet: "What are you talking about? This is the effect of Liufeng Huixuebu. Humph, this is a profound skill of Xuannv Sect. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"Advanced skills? I don't know if I can learn them..." Nan Linghe pouted. In terms of skills, she didn't have any extraordinary talent. She couldn't compare with Xia Wei, so she had to ask Xia Wei cast an envious look, "If I let sister Xia Wei come to learn, I guess I'll be able to do it in a while, right?"

At this time, Xia Wei seemed to have remembered something, and looked at the snow spirit who came with her: "You are a snow banshee, you should be very good at controlling wind and snow, right? Can you please disperse the snow here, and remove the buried snow from the snow spirit?" Looking for the remaining belongings in the wreckage of the house?”

"sure."

Xue Ling nodded, and as she thought, gusts of cold wind blew from all around, lifting the icy blue hair on the back of her head.

Under the blowing of the cold wind, a scene that surprised everyone soon happened. They saw that the strong wind passed by and all the snow melted. The ruins of the village, which had just been buried under the heavy snow, now appeared completely in front of everyone.

"That's great..." Seeing this, even Li Feimo couldn't help but wave his arms and look happy.

Everyone took action one after another, searching for property that could be taken away. Zhao Ping's spacious mansion, in particular, became the primary target of the search, and soon a sack full of gold, silver and jewelry was found.

After picking up their belongings, everyone continued to set off. Not long after, they arrived at the foot of Baitou Mountain and saw Shen Qingge and his party waiting here, as well as dozens of remaining people from Hanqiao Village.

Seeing that Li Feimo and his party returned safely, Shen Qingge also breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry in his eyes gradually disappeared.

However, when she saw Xue Ling mixed in the team, her expression suddenly changed. A bit of cold light burst out in her cold eyes, and she shouted to everyone: "Be careful, she is a monster, and she is also at the level of a fairy. The big demon..."

At the end, even Shen Qingge couldn't help but gasp. Her realm was only at the early stage of the fifth level, and she was no match for the demon fairy.

Seeing this, Li Feimo quickly stepped forward and explained: "Master, don't worry, she doesn't mean any harm. Her name is Xueling, and she is the wife of the Paektu Mountain God..."

Soon, Li Feimo told Shen Qingge the cause and effect of Xue Ling's body, but Shen Qingge's eyes still maintained a coldness:

"The monster's words are not trustworthy! You don't know how cunning the monster is. He must be lying to you... Wait, moth, your breath..."

Halfway through the words, Shen Qingge also noticed something strange about Li Feimo, and his eyes suddenly froze: "I haven't seen you for a while, and you have broken through to the early stage of the fourth level? This is impossible... What did that monster do to you? ?”

Li Feimo stuck out his tongue in embarrassment: "This is not done by monsters. Speaking of which, the reason why my cultivation level has improved by leaps and bounds is thanks to Sister He..."

With that said, Li Feimo told the whole story about Nan Linghe stewing soup with snow lotus.

When Xue Ling took out the precious Tianshan Snow Lotus, Shen Qingge couldn't help but look sideways. Snow lotus only grows on the top of the snow mountain, and its value is far higher than ordinary treasures. If ordinary people don't have the opportunity, they may not be able to obtain it.

After learning that the extremely precious snow lotus was actually used by Nan Linghe to stew soup, Shen Qingge's eyes twitched. He could no longer maintain the coldness of the past. Where could the extraordinary efficacy of the snow lotus be used like this? It's simply a waste of resources.

What's even more terrible is that after other people found out about this, instead of stopping Nan Linghe, they supported her behavior, which made Shen Qingge clasp his forehead and sigh, wondering what they were thinking.

"You, you..." Seeing everyone looking happy, Shen Qingge didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Li Feimo quickly took out a bowl of still warm soup, handed it to Shen Qingge, and said with a chuckle: "Master, we left this specially for you. The efficacy of snow lotus is extraordinary, Xia Wei Just by drinking this soup, her cultivation level immediately rose to the late fifth level. You should try it too!"

Shen Qingge did not take the soup at all, but turned his head sideways with a solemn expression: "That snow lotus was brought by monsters, I won't drink it."

Li Feimo was stunned. After he came to his senses, he repeatedly advised: "Master, what happened to the monster? Xue Ling didn't do anything evil. Besides, she brought this to thank us..."

Before Li Fei Mo finished speaking, Shen Qingge interrupted him directly: "Mo'er, do you still remember the rules of the Xuannv Sect?"

Hearing this, Li Feimo trembled and said unnaturally: "Of course I remember..."

Shen Qingge stared at her and said with hatred: "As a descendant of Xuannv, you not only allow your companions to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but now you are also hanging out with monsters. How can I face the ancestors of Xuannv sect? How can I be worthy of Empress Jiutian Xuannv?”

Li Feimo lowered his head, curled his lips, and muttered in a low voice: "What are you sorry for? You don't have any objections to Xuan Nu's reincarnation. What do we have to worry about?"

"You...you..." Shen Qingge choked. She glared at Li Feimo and then at Xia Wei, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Shen Qingge sighed heavily: "That's all, now you have your own ideas, I can't control you anymore... In terms of contradicting Master, you are very similar to me before."

Li Feimo was surprised. Shen Qingge was always meticulous in his work and never went beyond the rules. He didn't look like someone who would contradict his master? I couldn't help but be a little curious: "Master, you don't look like someone who would contradict Master? I seem to have never heard you mention the past events between you and Master."

Hearing Li Fei'e's question, Shen Qingge's cold eyes also showed some reminiscence. After a long silence, she finally spoke: "My master is best at swordsmanship, not flying swords, but extremely sharp swordsmanship. When a sword falls, it is as bright as the stars in the sky."

Xia Wei listened quietly. Whenever Shen Qingge mentioned her master, she would always show a complicated look. Obviously, something unknown happened between them.

"Since I was a child, I was raised by my master. I don't even know the names of my biological parents. My master is like my mother to me. All the skills I have are taught by her." Shen Qingge recalled.

Xia Wei seemed to remember something: "Are you talking about Master Ren, who was mentioned by King Tang?"

Xia Wei still remembered that when King Tang mentioned Master Ren, Shen Qingge's face flashed a bit unnatural.

Shen Qingge sighed: "Yes... My master's name is Ren Changhong, and she is the 168th generation descendant of the Xuannv Sect. She was once my dearest person, but in the end, she died in my hands."

After these words came out, everyone was silent, and Li Fei'e couldn't help but put his hand over his mouth, with a bit of disbelief in his pupils. He couldn't believe it at all: "No, this is impossible, how could the master do such a thing?"

Xia Wei, on the other hand, still maintained her calm: "There must be some hidden story in this. I believe that Master Shen would never kill innocent people."

Seeing that everyone looked at him with doubtful eyes, Shen Qingge's face darkened. It was rare that he couldn't maintain that independent calmness. Instead, he could only sigh deeply and asked Li Fei E: "Do you remember the Xuannv Sutra I taught you?"

Li Fei'e nodded, and suddenly his face turned pale: "Could it be..."

"The Xuannv Sutra is a method that allows people to seal their hearts and cut off their desires, and transcend the mundane world. This method is difficult and obscure, and was created by the goddess Xuannv. Even if it is an outstanding genius, it will take hundreds of years to get the essence of it."

After a pause, Shen Qingge said: "In order to practice the Xuannv Sutra, the masters have tried every possible way. According to legend, as long as you kill the person you love with your own hands and fully understand the pain of losing your love, you can quickly master the Xuannv Sutra. My master believes in this method. She poured all her love into me, watched me grow up little by little, and accepted me as the successor of Xuannv, just to kill me with her own hands one day."

"Ah?" Everyone exclaimed.

At this point, Shen Qingge closed his eyes, unwilling to recall the past, his entire arm trembling faintly: "In that life-and-death battle between master and disciple, I was the winner after all, and I am still standing here, while my master was killed by my own hands."
