Chapter 834: Chapter 407: The True Empress!

Regarding the internal strife at Danxia Peak, Jiang Shouzhong had previously learned some general information from Duo Ying.

Twenty years ago, Duo Ying’s grand master uncle for some unknown reason had an extremely fierce conflict with the Sect Leader at the time, leading to irreconcilable tensions.

Ultimately, the grand master uncle left Danxia Peak in a fury.

No one expected that twenty years later, he would reappear, leading a mysterious force to launch an attack on Danxia Peak.

However, regarding the specific reason for the conflict back then, Duo Ying said she wasn’t clear.

At this moment, hearing Yang Keyi’s dying words, it seemed the trigger for everything was actually a "baby girl."

Jiang Shouzhong was filled with doubts.

"Jiang..."

Yang Keyi weakly raised his trembling finger, pointing to the small box in Jiang Shouzhong’s hand.

"Don’t worry, Senior, I will deliver it to Duo Ying."

Jiang Shouzhong said.

However, Yang Keyi slowly shook his head, his voice growing weaker and powerless:

"The second senior brother has been killed by the fifth junior sister Zhao Yuanhua, and now it’s difficult for Ying’er and Hou Qi alone to protect this thing. Rashly handing it over to them would bring disaster upon them.

Jiang, I implore you to temporarily keep this item. If the Sect Leader is still alive, I hope you can personally deliver this Divine Pill to him..."

Jiang Shouzhong slightly raised his brows and asked back, "Aren’t you afraid I might become greedy and keep the Divine Pill for myself?"

Yang Keyi’s mouth barely squeezed out a bitter smile, his eyes full of helplessness:

"At this point, I have no choice but to trust Ying’er and Hou Qi’s judgment. Since they believe you are someone worthy of befriending, in my view, you are someone worthy of entrusting trust."

Jiang Shouzhong said solemnly, "Rest assured, Senior. If there is a chance, I will personally bring the Divine Pill to your Sect Leader."

Yang Keyi gently nodded, his eyes vacantly staring at the gray sky, filled with confusion and sorrow, he mumbled softly:

"This Divine Pill was obtained from that baby girl. At that time, we inadvertently discovered the baby girl in the Cold Cave. The grand master brother believed this baby was a source of disaster and insisted on killing her. But the Sect Leader and I felt pity and really couldn’t bring ourselves to do it.

Finally, after the Sect Leader took the Divine Pill from the baby girl, he left her there, allowing heaven and earth to decide her life or death.

But now, looking back, perhaps the grand master brother’s words were not false, and we indeed shouldn’t have been so compassionate, leaving such a great danger.

Now the grand master brother is desperately trying to retrieve this Divine Pill, perhaps for..."

Yang Keyi’s voice gradually weakened until it fell silent.

Jiang Shouzhong looked up, only to find Yang Keyi’s eyes had lost their light, and the breath of life had quietly vanished at this moment.

Jiang Shouzhong sighed inwardly and stretched out his hand to gently close Yang Keyi’s eyes.

His gaze fell on the box in his hand, and driven by curiosity, he gently opened the lid.

Inside the box lay a red Spirit Pill.

The Spirit Pill was surrounded by a somewhat ominous dark aura, like a scent of blood.

Jiang Shouzhong examined it briefly without delving too deeply and then closed the box again. He found a relatively open area and carefully buried Yang Keyi’s body.

After everything was settled, he continued his journey with the group.

On the way, Jiang Shouzhong noticed that Taoist Wulang and Monk Bugui had become extremely reserved, completely lacking the relaxed demeanor from their prior casual conversation.

Jiang Shouzhong joked, "Have you two become mute? Why aren’t you talking?"

Their faces showed awkward smiles, they looked at each other, unsure of how to respond.

At this moment, Little Jiangyi was shaking her cute little head beside them, her face filled with smugness as she loudly said, "See, I told you my dad is amazing."

"Amazing, amazing."

Taoist Wulang and Monk Bugui nodded repeatedly, trying to break the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Little Jiangyi blinked her lively big eyes and said crisply:

"Then you two will be my dad’s subordinates, and let my dad teach you real skills, you have no objection, right?"

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Wulang and Monk Bugui both looked troubled, unsure how to respond.

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head helplessly and said with a smile:

"Little Yi is just joking, don’t take it seriously. There are always people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens, fortunes in the world change unpredictably, difficult to make conclusions. Maybe your cultivation might one day surpass mine."

"Brother Jiang is joking."

Monk Bugui barely managed a smile on his face, "Fortune is ultimately a matter of one’s own destiny."

Taoist Wulang quickly nodded in agreement, "Indeed, for someone as distinguished and majestic as Brother Jiang, fortune naturally favors you, we couldn’t compare."

Jiang Shouzhong smiled and said nothing more.

The group continued on their way in a somewhat awkward yet lighthearted atmosphere, entering Huye City.

The place was occupied by numerous soldiers, and occasionally injured soldiers could be seen carried on stretchers into the city, yet ordinary civilians were rarely seen on the streets.

Due to the marriage alliance between the fifth prince and the Tudan family, various Jianghu figures flocked here, with quite a few coming from afar from the Central Plains.

On the other side, Qu Hongling and Ran Qingchen were swept into the bottom of the pool.

Both felt as though they were falling into a bottomless abyss, their bodies completely out of control, only able to let the force pull them downward at an extremely fast speed.
