Chapter 293: [Sisheng Peak] Emperor's Long Door Resentment

But in the middle of the night, Chu Wanning had yet to arrive.

At first, Taxian-Jun felt a sense of unease, then it turned gloomy, and then it became a worry.

As he paced back and forth, he couldn't help but to think, what was going on with Chu Wanning?

Whether it was to ask for the truth or to try to stop him, he should come to the Wushan Palace to find him after the Gate of Life and Death had been teared open. Based on his personality, even if he was missing an arm or a leg, he would still come and find trouble with him.

Why not?

Sick? — Impossible. That guy will come if he's sick.

He did not know? — Perhaps he did not know before, but when the world changed color after opening up the two realms, how could he not know?

Then…

Suddenly, he stopped. The black shadow looked extremely creepy and eerie under the weak light of the candle. It was extremely terrifying.

Was he dead?

Before he could think about this further, his fingernails had already sunk into his palms. Taxian-Jun clenched his teeth. The muscles all over his body were trembling.

With eight years of company at the Wushan Palace, two years of mutual dependence on the bones. He spent most of his life with Chu Wanning. Later on, when he returned to the world and saw that there was not even a trace of Chu Wanning's ashes left, he became even more frenzied.

He could accept the fact that Shi Mei had passed away. He could only do his best to revive him.

However, he could not accept Chu Wanning's death.

The night was even darker, and the only candle he had left was nearly burnt out. The lanterns and flowers were like pools of water, and his shizun had yet to come.

The fear in his heart grew deeper and deeper, like ink stains on a piece of paper that was constantly smeared with blood. He circled back and forth like a vulture, back and forth.

In the end, he sat on the soft couch like a cripple.

But at that moment, he heard a faint, inaudible sound from the roof.

In an instant, the light and heat seemed to have returned to his body. His eyes were shockingly bright, and they were also filled with hatred.

if you have him a mirror at this point he would realize his expression and musical performance were more or less the same as Chen A'Jiao, that sort of waiting for someone who wouldn't come, the fury of a woman scorned.26

He gnashed his teeth. Without waiting for the opponent to make a move first, he kicked open the door of the hall and swept up the roof amidst the torrential downpour.

"Chu Wanning!"

Crazy as a madman.

"He's dead. Why are you so depressed? After he dies, do you not even want to care about the world you think about?"

Before he could see what was happening, he had already hacked down with his saber. Three to four blows rang through the rain, the sound of metal weapons clashing against each other.

"Didn't you say to put the life of all living beings before yours?! It was only now when it's too late that you came to fight against this Venerable one. What Yuheng Elder and Beidou Immortal. You are just like the rest of us!"

The other party began to speak, his voice muffled by the torrential rain, "What nonsense…"

Taxian-Jun narrowed his eyes.

He immediately recognized that the voice was not Chu Wanning's, which made his anger clear. When the other party slashed at him again, his eyes turned cold, and his hand shot out like a blade.

He only heard a "Zheng" sound. From start to finish, the opponent's weapon had never shone with its godly brilliance. Under the brutal offensive, it broke into two pieces and clanged against the roof tiles.

"… Whose bastard is this?" After recognizing the wrong person, Taxian-Jun became even more furious, "You don't even have a decent weapon, and you still dare to assassinate this Venerable One."

With a wave of his hand, Bu'gui pointed at the top of that person's head. With a few cold words, he said, "Raise your face."

"…"

The man looked up slowly.

The sudden clap of thunder split the air, lighting up his pale face.

Taxian-Jun wrinkled his nose, his expression extremely dangerous. "It's you again?"

Xue Meng stood up, his hands trembling slightly. Taxian-Jun's gaze followed his gaze and saw the two pieces of Longcheng's broken blade shining brightly on the wet roof. He slowly came to an understanding.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man who was drenched through his eyelashes.

"Looks like I shouldn't say 'again'." Taxian-Jun said in a dense voice, "And it should be said that… It's you, my good brother."

Thunder rumbled, and the eardrums seemed as if they were about to be crushed.

Xue Meng closed his eyes.

"This is the first time you've exchanged blows with me. You are truly a young, naive man, much cuter than you ever were before."

"… Give me back…" Xue Meng's voice was choked with sobs the moment he opened his mouth to speak, but he still said, "Return my parents' lives."

"You have already told this to this Venerable One in your previous life."

He suddenly opened his eyes, furious and pained at the same time. "You have to pay back my brother's life!"

This time, Taxian-Jun didn't say anything. After a while, he laughed coldly, "It's good to be a Grandmaster. Just one or two of them and they're all thinking about him."

"…"

"But did he ever tell you that he was my reincarnation? He remembers all the sins and hatreds of his previous life." His eyes were cold and sharp. "He's a liar!"

Xue Meng and Taxian-Jun stood facing each other on the roof like two black horned beasts.

The more he spoke, the more indignant he became, so his expression became even more twisted, "That bastard lied to the peace and stability of the world, lied to his brothers and sisters, lied to his friends and family. He lied about Mo-zongshi's good reputation — he deserves to die. How is he different from this Venerable One?"

Xue Meng gritted his teeth and said, "You're not the same at all."

"Ha! Laughable!"

The rain flowed down through the cracks in the tiles and formed a torrent of water beneath their feet. "What's different? What's different? How clean do you think he is? Even if you soak in the rain for a hundred years, you still won't be able to wash off his filth!"

Xue Meng's long eyelashes were drenched by the rain. "He and you are two different people!"

"Fuck you and your mother." Taxian-Jun casually said in an incomparably vicious manner, "Just pretend to be blind."

Madam Wang had just passed away. Hearing these words, it was naturally extremely ear-piercing. Xue Meng angrily shouted as he ignited the flame in his palm, sending a magical curse flying towards the Emperor.

Ten years from now, Xue Meng would not even be a match for Taxian-Jun, let alone this little bastard in front of him.

The Spiritual Flames hadn't even touched his hair yet. Instead, he had raised his hand and grabbed Xue Meng's arm that hadn't been pulled back in time. His pair of black and purple eyes slowly looked down.

"The two people below the corner of the roof, immediately scram out for This Venerable one. If you do not move, this Venerable One will crush the young bird's claws."

The two brothers, Mei Hanxue, climbed up to the corner of the roof while one of them carried the guqin and the other held the sword.

Taxian-Jun did not seem surprised as he glanced at the two of them and sneered: "Your lives are truly interesting. No matter which mortal world, they would unconditionally stand together with Xue Meng."

The big brother didn't say anything, but his younger brother, Mei Hanxue, smiled. "What else? Does His Majesty think that everyone is like you, to repay kindness with hatred, be resentful and cold-blooded?"

These words somewhat touched Taxian-Jun's sore spot. Chu Wanning's face, Xue Zhengyong's face and Wang Chuqing's face flashed past him one by one.

To repay kindness with hatred… Cold-blooded love…

He was silent for a moment before he squeezed out a trace of cold ridicule from the heavy rain. "The two of you are really not afraid of death."

The veins on his arm bulged as he grabbed Xue Meng's hair and continued, "Xue Meng is at least a junior brother that Immortal Elder Beidou protected with all his might. You two have nothing to do with me, so I won't be afraid to chop you both into pieces."

At the mention of Chu Wanning, Xue Meng became even angrier. "You still have the face to talk about Shizun? You beast! Beast!"

"Why don't I dare to mention him?"

As he spoke, he lifted Xue Meng up with one hand and stared at Xue Meng's drenched face.

He suddenly thought of the scattered memories that belonged to Mo-zongshi. He thought of the moonlight on Flying Flower Island, the night rain in the Wuchang Town, and even the mist in the Miaoyin Springs… Suddenly, jealousy bloomed like wild grass.

He coldly said, "Tell me, why can't I mention him?"

"…"

"Who is he to me? Didn't your honest brother tell you?"

Xue Meng was stunned at first, then his eyes abruptly widened. "What… what nonsense are you talking about…"

"You've been feeling it, haven't you?" Taxian-Jun stared into his eyes, as if he was trying to force his prey into a corner. "From your interactions with them to from the idle chatter of the bystanders."

At first, Xue Meng was stiff, but soon after, he began to tremble violently.

His trembling caused Taxian-Jun to be extremely excited.

Yes, that's it. He had dirtied Chu Wanning and tainted Chu Wanning. Wasn't Mo-zongshi being cautious and respectful when he saw the ghost, afraid that his relationship with Chu Wanning would be made public?

He just couldn't let that hypocrite have his way.

"What? You still don't know?"

"No… No, no, no, don't say it."

"That means you know?"

Xue Meng was trembling and his scalp went numb. "Don't say it!"

Taxian-Jun began to laugh loudly, his gaze filled with savagery and madness. "It seems like you know what's at the back of your mind."

"Mo Ran —!"

"Chu Wanning belongs to this bed."

Suddenly, he became absent-minded, as if the sound of the torrential rain had died down.

Therefore, he began to peck at the young man's heart even more with baring his fangs and brandishing his claws. He said with a cold smile, "In this lifetime, and in the previous life, your Shizun had been lying on the bed and being done by me. The Wind Cliff Inn in the Wuchang Town, the Miaoyin Springs at the Sisheng Peak, and the rooms in the Taobao Villa.

Xue Meng's entire body had turned into ice, and his eyes were filled with black ash.

"Right." Suddenly recalling another detail that belonged to Mo-zongshi, his eyes flashed with a cold and venomous luster. His thin lips parted as he said, "The elder brother that you protected has done so in front of you."

"…"

"Before you went up Mount Jiao, you found him in Chu Wanning's room. At that time, you even reached out your hand and touched Chu Wanning's forehead, asking if he had a fever."

Xue Meng's face became paler and paler.

Taxian-Jun smiled, "Can you imagine why Chu Wanning's face was flushed and his eyes rippled?"

"Stop it!"

Angry shouts would naturally not be useful, but it would only make Taxian-Jun more cruel: "Because in the area between the curtain and you, under the bedding. That good brother of yours is playing with your Shizun right then."

Xue Meng's face was white, red, and blue. He turned his head back and forth several times, and he actually couldn't bear it any longer. He started vomiting in spasms, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

The human demon was extremely satisfied with his reaction. He laughed out loud as his eyes shone with a fervent light, "What, do you think your brother is different from this one? He did all this unruly stuff, but he just didn't tell you. How much do you think he —"

"Boom!" A loud explosive sound interrupted his words.

Taxian-Jun suddenly turned around, only to see that in the west, the Heaven-Piercing Tower was ablaze with countless monsters that turned into golden beams of light and flew into the sky, appearing amidst the torrential storm.

"… What's going on?"

Just as he said that, he heard the clanging of a zither in the distance, like the cries of phoenixes, the music of immortals, together with the zither music, caused all the monsters to transform into their human forms, as if they were moved by the zither music, and pounced towards a certain direction on the ground, the most valiant and fearless wood type monster.

In an instant, his pupils contracted as he muttered, "Jiuge…?"

He did not care about Xue Meng, and did not even have the leisure to look at Xue Meng again.

In front of Heaven-Piercing Tower, there was already a sea of fire. There were countless Zhenlong chess pieces with considerable cultivation that were currently fighting against a group of demons. As for the two halves of the battle, they were separated into two men who were also wearing snow-white robes.

One of them was Hua Binan, who was standing with his hands behind his back.

The other was a murderous look in Chu Wanning's eyes.

Seeing Yuheng flying in the middle of the sea of fire, Taxian-Jun relaxed his heart – Chu Wanning had finally arrived. And then he got angry — because even though Chu Wanning came, he didn't come to find him first. Instead, he went straight to Hua Binan.

It was all in vain for him to wait so long for him!

"What are you doing over there?" Hua Binan's spiritual energy was naturally weak. At this moment, he relied on those Zhenlong chess pieces to fight against Chu Wanning. He squinted his eyes at Taxian-Jun, clenched his teeth and said, "Why aren't you coming to help me?"

Taxian-Jun's head hurt, but he immediately agreed.

He jumped down from the sky and stood in front of Hua Binan. A ghostly light flashed in his hand and he held Bu'gui tightly in his palm.

"You go first. This place will be blocked by me."

Hua Binan was beaten into a sorry state by Chu Wanning, so he had no way to escape. Seeing that Taxian-Jun had made his move, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Be careful. Lock this man up after the fight. Don't let him spoil our business again."

With that, the shadow disappeared into the night.

Taxian-Jun turned his head, "Chu Wanning, I knew that you wouldn't just stand by and watch. However, I never would have thought that you would know how to find him first and make a move on him."

"…"

Chu Wanning's face was pale, and the emotions in his eyes could not be seen. No one could tell what he was thinking.

"Why didn't you come to this Venerable One first? Hmm?"

Chu Wanning did not reply. In reality, he and Taxian-Jun were more like corpses at that moment. It was as if the soul within the body of the Beidou Immortal had died. Only a layer of instinct was supporting him, making him do the last thing in the world.

Taxian-Jun jumped up and fought with Chu Wanning. He exchanged several moves and his hand movements were extremely fast. He squinted at him through the fire and rain. "Because you think you can't beat me?"

"…"

The saber light in his hand hacked down, colliding with the zither sound's spiritual energy. "Because you don't know how to face Xue Meng?"

"…"

The pain was made him more and more vicious. His blade technique was extremely fast and his momentum was shocking. Because he had absorbed Mo-zongshi's spirit core, it was even sharper than before. In an instant, he had already closed the distance between him and Chu Wanning.

"Is it because…"

Jealousy was seeping between the molars.

At this moment, the golden light met the jade light. The blade fell, Jiuge cried out, and with a flick of Chu Wanning's finger, an unbreakable protective barrier appeared.

In that instant, the spiritual flow hissed and gushed out, and his saber was pressed against his barrier.

They faced each other across the membrane where the flower petals flowed.

"Is it because…" Suddenly, the light in Taxian-Jun's hand weakened, and when it lit up again, it was no longer the wood element's jade-green, but rather the fire element's red.

It was Mo-zongshi's most commonly used spiritual current color.

Chu Wanning was stunned.

Fire and gold were still glued together, and the splashes of glory were like a torrential downpour. Behind the barrier, the handsome face of Taxian-Jun suddenly turned gentle.

"Or is it because, Shizun…" Under his thick eyelashes, his eyes were filled with deep emotion and sorrow. "Can't bear to see me die a second time?"

With a "Zheng" sound, the wrong string was strummed, and the light of Chu Wanning's enchantment suddenly weakened. At this moment, Bu'gui hacked down with all his might. In an instant, the golden light shattered into pieces, scattering out into the shadows of the haitang blossoms.

The powerful spiritual energy caused his entire body to fall to the ground. Seeing that he was about to fall into the muddy water, a hand wrapped around his waist. Chu Wanning knew that he had fallen into his trap, so he shouted in a low voice, "Mo Weiyu!"

Under the heavy rain, Taxian-Jun laughed out loud due to his crafty scheme. The corners of his mouth curled up as he was finally satisfied and cruel.

He could no longer maintain his gentleness. When he opened his mouth again, his face was already filled with fierce green teeth. "You're finally willing to talk to me."

"…"

Taxian-Jun grabbed him by the cheek, his nose was almost touching his nose, and his lips were touching his lips. He said in a gloomy voice, "If you don't say anything, I'm afraid I'll think you're mute."
