Chapter 603: Chapter 263: Tao Heart Shattered
The crowd was taken aback. Qiu Zhihe instinctively wanted to raise her hand to cover Qin Gengyunâs eyes, but she collided with the hands of Liu Su and Mo Xiaolan.
The three women exchanged glances, and Mo Xiaolanâs cheeks flushed. She was the first to lower her hand.
Liu Su stuck out her tongue and quickly lowered her hand as well.
Qiu Zhihe looked up, only to find Qin Gengyun staring intently at Wei Wan, who had already taken off her clothes. Her gaze turned cold, and just as she was about to speak, Liu Su exclaimed:
"Oh my god!"
Qiu Zhihe turned her head and was also stunned.
Wei Wanâs appearance was gentle and beautiful, and her body curves were extremely attractive. However, what covered this water-like beautiful silhouette were numerous twisted scars.
These scars looked like long centipedes crawling on the supple body, turning the once fair skin into something ugly and terrifying.
The dreadful scars were so dense that they covered up all the beautiful scenery.
Looking around, nothing could be seen except for the densely packed ugly scars.
Such a body, even if completely bare, could arouse no oneâs desire.
"Junior Sister Wei..."
Su Xin stood frozen.
Wei Wan pointed at the scars on her body and said calmly:
"When I was living in the valley, if I couldnât meet his standards, he would use the God-piercing Whip to hit me."
"When I served Mo Sha as a maid, if Mo Sha was in a bad mood, he would also use the God-piercing Whip on me."
"Later, Mo Sha felt this punishment was insufficient, so he smeared Corpse-controlling Powder from Spirit Corpse Mountain on the God-piercing Whip, ensuring the whip marks would never heal."
"These scars have absorbed a lot of Corpse-controlling Powder; Senior Sister can get an Alchemist to test it, and it will be evident."
"My body... is the evidence."
Corpse-controlling Powder is Spirit Corpse Mountainâs secret formula for controlling Spirit Corpses, something only Spirit Corpse Mountain possesses.
With Wei Wanâs cultivation, only this Corpse-controlling Powder could prevent her scars from healing.
Su Xinâs face turned pale as she stepped forward, picked up the clothes on the ground, and draped them over Wei Wan.
"Thereâs no need. I believe you stayed at Spirit Corpse Mountain before, but that matter... I donât believe it!"
The matter Su Xin referred to was the identity of Wei Wanâs adoptive father, who, according to Wei Wan, was both the Mountain Master of Spirit Corpse Mountain and of the Zhenyang Sect...
But if it were true, the Zhenyang Sect would be finished!
Wei Wan suddenly laughed: "Senior Sister, why deceive yourself? You actually believe it in your heart, donât you?"
"No!!"
Su Xin shouted: "Impossible! You must have mistaken him! Iâll return to the Zhenyang Sect right away, asking Master, she wonât deceive me!"
The usually graceful and elegant beauty now appeared somewhat hysterical.
Liu Su was startled: "It seems like sheâs about to fall into a demonic path!"
Qiu Zhihe floated forward, pressing her palm against Su Xinâs forehead, and turned back to call: "Susu."
Liu Su understood, and a light blue eyeball appeared atop her head, emitting a beam of light that stabilized the spiritual power within Su Xin that was about to lose control.
After a moment, Su Xin finally calmed down with difficulty. Qiu Zhihe released her, and Su Xin, gasping for breath and blushing, said to Qiu Zhihe and Liu Su:
"Thank you, both... fellow cultivators."
Earlier, she had lost control of her Tao Heart and was almost possessed by the devil, her years of cultivation nearly ruined.
Qiu Zhihe said calmly: "For a beast like that, itâs not worth it."
Su Xin abruptly raised her head: "Itâs not him!"
Then she looked at Wei Wan: "Junior Sister Wei, with nothing but words, how do you prove itâs him?"
Wei Wan gave a bitter smile: "For me, none of this matters anymore. The things I needed to do are done, if you want to kill me, do it now."
The last sentence was directed at Qin Gengyun and the others.
Su Xin was taken aback and instinctively stepped in front of Wei Wan: "You want to kill Junior Sister Wei?! No, I will take her back to the Zhenyang Sect and confront... that person face to face!"
Qiu Zhihe snorted coldly: "Maybe you wonât even get that chance, and youâll all be silenced beforehand."
Having said this, she turned and headed towards Wind Bell Village. Su Xin watched her back, stunned and speechless for a moment, while Wei Wan remained as calm as death, as if life and death were no longer important to her.
Qin Gengyun glanced at her, sighed softly, and said: "Letâs return to Wind Bell Village for now."
When they got back to Wind Bell Village, the villagers, seeing their return, all knelt down, pleading for mercy:
"Spare us, Immortal Masters!"
Qin Gengyun said to Wei Wan: "This is the place where you were born. How these people are dealt with is up to you."
Upon hearing Qin Gengyunâs words, Liu Dashu suddenly raised his head, looking at Wei Wan with a face filled with terror and realization:
"Could it be... Youâre the daughter of Liu Li and Zhang CuiâEr?!"
Several other elders about the same age as Liu Dashu also raised their heads, looking at Wei Wan in shock, murmuring:
"She resembles Zhang CuiâEr from back then!"
"So, it is Zhang CuiâErâs daughter who has returned!"
"Returned to seek vengeance against us..."
These few collapsed to the ground, their faces ashen. Liu Dashu crawled to Wei Wan, repeatedly pleading:
"You are Yuanyuan, right? Your parents werenât killed by me; it was them, they killed them, I did nothing!"
Liu Dashu pointed at the elderly men beside him, shouting loudly.
Those men looked at him in shock: "Village chief, you were the one who said we absolutely couldnât let Liu Li and Zhang CuiâEr leave the village; we were just following orders!"
Wei Wan did not look at them at all, only raised her head to look at the sky, her gaze empty.
"Liu Yuanyuan, Ling, Wei Wan... What is my name, who am I?"
Blood trickled from the corner of Wei Wanâs mouth as her body fell limply.
Su Xin quickly supported her: "Junior Sister Wei, Junior Sister Wei!"
Xu Caihe and Zhou LingâEr also rushed over: "Whatâs wrong with Senior Sister Wei?"
Su Xinâs eyes were slightly red, and she said to both of them: "You two take Junior Sister Wei to rest for a while."
Xu Caihe and Zhou LingâEr exchanged glances, ultimately asking no more questions, and hurriedly helped Wei Wan into one of the houses.
With Wei Wan unconscious, these villagers still needed to be dealt with. Qiu Zhihe looked at the pleading people with disdain and said coldly:
"Kill them all."
Su Xin was startled, quickly intervening: "They are ordinary people, we are cultivators, how can we so easily bully the weak?"
Qiu Zhihe said indifferently: "They tried to kill us; naturally they must bear the price of being killed."
Su Xin said: "But we are renowned and righteous sects, how can we disregard human life like this?"
Qiu Zhiheâs tone was mocking: "When the renowned and righteous sects attacked Cyan Lotus Sect, the countless ordinary people in the villages at the foot of Cyan Lotus Mountain were all slaughtered. Wasnât that disregarding of human life?"
"This..."
Su Xin was momentarily speechless.
Qiu Zhihe suddenly raised her hand, and Liu Dashuâs head was severed neatly at the neck, flying into the air alongside the spraying blood, his expression stunned.
"Ah!!"
"Spare us, Fairy, spare us!"
The other villagers were terrified, their faces pale, all kneeling and begging for mercy.
Su Xin looked at Qiu Zhihe in disbelief: "You, you..."
Qiu Zhihe glanced at her disdainfully: "Do you want me to help you avenge your junior sister as well? Handle the rest yourself."
Then she said to Qin Gengyun: "Letâs go to Liu Dashuâs cellar."
Qin Gengyun nodded, and Liu Su, Mo Xiaolan, and the Phoenix followed along.
Only Su Xin was left, facing these desperately pleading villagers, momentarily lost.
