Chapter 473: 473: Renxue

It was easy for these two elders to know who had killed Young Miss Pei Suya. Aside from them, there is only Qin Yaoyun who could have done so. The Qin Family is well known for their techniques to attack one’s soul. It was a move that is not only invisible but also lethal especially for those who are weaker than its caster.

Seeing the death of her granddaughter, the Holy Witch isn’t angry that her granddaughter was killed, instead she laments about losing such a good pawn for her use. There are lots of ways to control such a greedy person now another bitch has killed what is her. As for the Divine Farmer, he didn’t care much. The so-called grandchildren of theirs were all artificially made using his dao companion’s witchcraft. In his eyes, they aren’t living beings by toys created using their blood as a medium.

"I can’t believe that Pei’er was killed just like that! I haven’t squeezed enough of her use yet! Old man, don’t stop me anymore. That little bitch, I’m going to end her!" said the Holy Witch.

Sigh~

The Divine Farmer gave up and let his partner do as he wished, "You can do as you wish."

"That’s good. I’ll have her hunted by the whole village," said the Holy Witch.

She used a spell to create a silhouette of her figure in the sky above the village. It didn’t take while for the people of the village to recognize her. Those who live in the Herb Village all saluted before her presence.

"We greet the Holy Witch Senior!"

"My granddaughter, Pei Suya, was killed. The killer is none other than Princes Qin Yaoyun of the Qin Kingdom. Find her. Dead or alive, bring her to me! I shall give the one who brought her over a reward. The reward is.... Heavenly Peach that extends one’s life." The Holy Witch announced.

The whole village learned about it and the hunt for Princess Yaoyun had begun that day. As for Prince Qin Yaosu, he was killed by the two elders after seeing him loiter around their place. Then they glanced at their grandson and felt even gloomier.

The Holy Witch muttered in a bad mood, "How come every single one of them is more useless than the other. Hmp!

In the end, the grandson they were looking after before was also killed by the cruel Holy Witch on the spot. The Divine Farmer was used to it and no longer commented about his dao companion’s actions.

The Divine Farmer asked, "Do you want to create another set of descendants?"

"No. This is time, I have no tim to play house. I need to find that Flower Spirit which can morph. Once I regain my youth only then will we make a child of our own," The Holy Witch said.

The Divine Farmer responded, "Let’s do as you wish."

Meanwhile at the Heavenly City.

Inside the Heavenly Sword Sect

As per request of Tan Bingyu, Peak Master Guan and Sect Master Wan had guided her to the location where Guan Meiren was slumbering. Before she completely succumbs to deep sleep, Guan Meiren can still stay awake for a few times. It is just that after she was injured, the time she spends awake lessened until in the end she fell into a deep sleep and no longer woke up.

A lot of people from the sect told Peak Master Guan to give up on Meiren. However, Guan Yueyi losing Tan Bingyu didn’t wish to lose another disciple of hers. For the sect not to give up on Meiren, Guan Yueyi had entitled her as her successor. This is the successor position that Tan Bingyu held before she was abandoned by the sect.

Tan Bingyu looked around and saw that her master and uncle had brought her over behind the Three Swords Peak and entered a cave-like entrance which led underground where Guan Meiren is said to be sleeping. This was the first time Tan Bingyu had seen this place. It might be an area that was created only after she and her clan were exiled to the Mortal Realm.

A stone stairway leading underground appeared before them as they entered the cave entrance. With Peak Master Guan leading the way, countless night pearls were used as a source of light underground.

Peak Master Guan said, "Be careful. It’s a bit slippery on the way down."

With the Peak Master leading the way, they had finally reached the end of the stairs and an array that keeps the temperature lower was placed in the room. Tan Bingyu’s eyes instantly wander at the ice coffin in the middle of the room and in the coffin is the sleeping figure of her Shimei, Guan Meiren.

Peak Master Guan explained, "I do not believe that your junior sister is dead. To keep her body from rotting all I can do is enclose her in an ice coffin made of 500 years old Ice stone."

"The last time she woke up was five years ago. At that time, all she is worried about is whether you, her senior sister, is still alive. She was sorry for being weak. For failing her promise to you to protect the sect while you are away. All this time until the end... She wanted to see you," Sect Master Wan said.

Tan Bingyu, seeing the peaceful sleeping figure of her junior sister, couldn’t control her legs and kneel beside the ice coffin for a closer look. She wanted to touch Guan Meiren whose eyes were closed inside the ice coffin but in the end her fingers halted at the last moment. Her heart which was calm and composed now trembles from unimaginable pain. Her face was devoid of emotions and her eyes were glassy as if it was made of glass. Countless memories of the past resurfaced in her mind.

"Shijie. Shijie. I finally broke through! Can you teach me that sword technique which allows one to fly?"

"I am too weak. Shijie, maybe I don’t have the talent like you have."

"Shijie, thank you for the defensive artifact. I think this artifact had some formation in it. Maybe I can integrate my sword technique here."

"Shijie, I promise you. Until you return, I will protect the Master and the Three Swords Peak."

Tan Bingyu had cried many times before. However, those tears are simply normal ones. Now despite the unimaginable pain in her heart, her eyes were devoid of tears. An unimaginable power of ice spreads from her instantly covering the whole mountain with frost. Sect Master Wan had protected Peak Master Guan when he saw that state of Tan Bingyu. I was completely different from her rage from before. This time her aura is screaming in great pain and sadness.

Just at Peak Master Guan and Sect Master Wan thought that Tan Bingyu would create another world of ice, the frost stopped only within the room they were in. What comes after is a silhouette of a white bird crying out to the heavens. This is the phoenix manifestation hidden from Tan Bingyu’s bloodline from Xue Clan. The Ice Phoenix from the Immortal Realm.

CAWS~

This manifestation was seen by everyone in the Heavenly City and even those nearby felt the awakening of the Ice Phoenix. Tan Bingyu being the source of this event was staring at the sleeping lady in the ice coffin. The others might not know. The reason Yue Xuexia protected the Heavenly City in the end wasn’t only because of Tan Bingyu’s connection to the Heavenly Sword Sect or his bloodline connection with that one from the Heavenly Medicine Sect, it was because of this lady hidden under the Three Swords Peak. The lady named Guan Meiren was someone who Tan Bingyu had chosen as her Dao Companion. But before they could complete the oath it was broken by fate as even a tear of the ice phoenix cannot bring back the person whose soul had left back to life.

However, as if knowing that Tan Bingyu would return, this young lady called Meiren left a wisp of soul. Even though there aren’t any similar figures of her, or her voice was left behind. A message was left behind, but what surprised everyone was that instead of a woman’s voice, a man’s voice was left behind.

{Shijie, Meiren is a liar. This is not a real body and I am not a woman. I don’t know what happened. One day, I lost consciousness in my real body and woke up in this soulless body. I had lived my life bedridden all my life. That’s why when I woke up in this body, I was happy even if I had to live as a female. You saved me, when I didn’t want to die. To keep my promise to you and to protect our master as well as our junior sisters and junior brothers, I didn’t hesitate to sacrifice this body to protect them.}

{When you return you will definitely be angry and I didn’t want to see you cry. Only you are capable of activating this wisp of the soul of mind. The reason for that is because we come from the same origin.}

{I don’t know where I will be the next time I wake up. I may return to my original body or maybe be reincarnated. However, the next time we meet it will be with my real body. Next time, I will not leave ahead of you. Bing’er, in our next life I will be the one to protect you.}

{Please remember my name is Renxue.}
