Gongye clan!
A top power in the imperial domain.
Before meeting Zhen Liuqing, Chen Xi had already learned from Empress Yu Che that the Gongye clan had a close relationship with the Taishang Religion, and many important figures in the clan held the position of elders in the Taishang Religion.
At that time, because he was entrusted by Empress Yu Che, Chen Xi went to the Manggu Ruins with the mentality of completing the task, in order to prevent Gongye Zhefu from snatching the ninth-grade emperor-level Dao Root.
So at that time, he didn't have much dislike for the Gongye family, but he definitely didn't have any good impressions anymore.
After meeting Zhen Liuqing, Chen Xi's attitude towards the Gongye clan changed and he began to hate her.
Especially after being constantly provoked by Gongye Zhefu, this feeling of disgust reached its extreme.
There is no need to go into details about what happened later, because Zhen Liuqing was almost killed by the black witch god Gu of Gongye clan.
But now, before Chen Xi could revive Zhen Liuqing, the bad news came that the Gongye clan had killed Master Dao Que. This made Chen Xi hate the Gongye clan to the core.
"Gongye's family... Gongye's family..."
At this moment, Chen Xi's eyes were cold and he repeated Gongye's name in his heart, making his whole body look intimidating.
"This revenge must be paid in blood!"
When making this decision, Chen Xi looked at Ye Yan, who was seriously injured and adjusting his breath, but Zhen Liuqing's quiet and delicate face appeared in his mind.
…
Seven days later.
Ye Yan woke up from meditation. The aura around her body had stabilized, and she was no longer weak and confused. There was also a gleaming luster on her charming and beautiful face.
"you're awake."
Chen Xi's voice came to his ears. Ye Yan looked up and saw Chen Xi looking at him from a distance.
This made her slightly surprised and inexplicably moved. She didn't expect that Chen Xi was always guarding her.
"Um."
Ye Yan nodded, and then laughed at himself, "Originally, I thought I was going to die this time. Who would have thought that God would open his eyes and allow me to survive."
"What happened?"
Chen Xi asked.
"What else could it be, being chased by the Gongye clan?"
Ye Yan shrugged, looking very relaxed.
"Why?"
Chen Xi asked.
Ye Yan was silent for a moment and then said, "Because of the jade slip left by Master Daoque, I originally didn't know the existence of this object. It wasn't until later that I discovered it from his corpse. However, Gongye clan also noticed this at that time. At one point, he suddenly started chasing me like a mad dog with all his strength."
After a pause, she smiled and said: "Fortunately, Dao Que's body was abandoned by the Gongye clan in the wilderness instead of being left in the Gongye clan. Otherwise, I am afraid that it would have been robbed long ago."
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and frowned: "Just because of a jade slip, they dare to hunt you down?"
Ye Yan was startled. She was also confused. She frowned and said, "I can't figure this out either. No one knows it now. I have severed ties with the Supreme Religion. And no matter what, I am a descendant of the Ye family after all." , Gongye clan dared to attack me, which is obviously abnormal."
Speaking of this, she and Chen Xi looked at each other and both realized that all of this might have appeared on the jade slip left by Master Dao Que!
Chen Xi even speculated that the reason why the Gongye clan captured Zhen Liuqing and her master Dao Que was probably because of this jade slip!
But... Why hadn't Gongye discovered such an important thing before
"I discovered this jade slip from the ashes of Master Dao Que when I was refining it."
Ye Yan seemed to see the confusion in Chen Xi's heart, and said with a hint of surprise, "It's a coincidence. These ashes are scattered, which is normal, but after they are collected and put into the urn, there seems to be a formation between the ashes. A unique connection was formed, fused together bit by bit, and finally condensed into that piece of jade slip."
When Chen Xi heard this, he was immediately surprised. No one would have guessed that Dao Que would actually integrate this object into his own corpse.
This also proves from the side that this jade slip is definitely extraordinary!
Chen Xi couldn't help but take out the jade slip and examine it again, but in the end he couldn't help but not read the contents.
This was left by Master Dao Que, and it should naturally belong to Zhen Liuqing.
Ye Yan had obviously not read the contents in the jade slip, and was quite curious at first, but when he saw Chen Xi put the jade slip away again, he immediately understood what the other person was thinking.
"I didn't expect you to be so considerate for your Taoist companion." Ye Yan said.
"What's the use of being thoughtful? Now I'm just worried that when she wakes up and learns about the death of her master, she won't be able to bear the blow."
Chen Xi sighed, looking at the Taichu Temple in the distance, and thought to himself, even if the empress helped Liu Qing suppress the power of the black witch god Gu in her body, if she could not find a solution, she might still be unable to wake up.
And this means that one day, he will definitely have a head-to-head confrontation with the entire Gongye clan, firstly to help Zhen Liuqing get revenge, and secondly to force her to hand over the secret method to solve the black witch god Gu!
"By the way, there's one more thing I have to tell you."
Ye Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "After the Gongye family and I completely broke up, the other party threatened you. If you don't take the initiative to hand over the soul of Gongye Zhefu, even if you have Shen Yanshan to protect you, you will still have to pay. A heavy price to pay.”
Hearing this, Chen Xi suddenly smiled, but his smile was without any emotion.
He turned his palm over, and a bright ball of light appeared. The surface was imprinted with densely packed strange restrictions. He could vaguely see a figure struggling in the ball of light, looking small and helpless.
Ye Yan's eyes narrowed and he recognized that figure as the soul of Gongye Zhefu.
Bang!
However, before she could react, the ball of light suddenly exploded, and even the ray of soul in it was pulverized and turned into a rain of light, completely eliminated.
"you… "
Ye Yan was shocked and a little confused.
"Since we can't reach an agreement, there's no point keeping him."
Chen Xi clapped his hands, as if he had done something ordinary.
But Ye Yan knew that all this meant that Gongye Zhefu, the unparalleled genius of the Gongye clan, had completely disappeared, with no possibility of resurrection.
Likewise, after this, it is destined that there will be no room for resolution of the hatred between Chen Xi and the Gongye clan!
"Then what are you going to do next?"
Ye Yan couldn't help but ask.
"wait."
Chen Xi looked at Taichu Temple in the distance and said calmly.
Seeing this, Ye Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that Chen Xi would become a beauty in anger and go to the Gongye clan to seek revenge.
"Chen Xi."
The golden-eyed macaque who had been waiting aside could not help but speak in a low voice at this moment, saying weakly, "Um... are you still talking about your past experiences today?"
It also seemed to know that Chen Xi was not in a good state of mind at this time, so his words were more of probing and questioning.
"speak."
Chen Xi smiled and said happily that he wanted revenge, but he should not rush it for a while, and it would not affect his current state of mind.
"Hey hey hey, okay!"
Xiaobao beamed with joy.
Next, Chen Xi continued as usual, reminiscing about the past and telling it to Xiao Bao. His words were as plain as water, but Xiao Bao was fascinated by what he heard.
Chen Xi did not hide anything, and Ye Yan also heard all this. At first, she thought Chen Xi was telling Xiaobao a story, and was very surprised that this person and monkey had such a childish side.
But then, unknowingly, she became fascinated, and finally understood that the story Chen Xi told was his past experience.
The experience was so full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and dangers, but it was also full of passion, vitality, and legendary color.
Ye Yan finally understood from the side that... this guy was such a person.
…
Time flies and flies by.
Before I knew it, another two years had passed.
In the past two years, apart from practicing, Chen Xi only chatted with Xiaobao and Ye Yan, and his life was as ordinary as water.
Several times, he also went to the "Evil Refining Garden", intending to see how Shao Haoyu and the others were doing during the period, but he did not go in. He could only hear curses coming from a distance. There were sounds, curses, screams, and some roars like ghosts and gods.
According to Xiaobao, the "evil refining area" was specially opened by the temple owner to sharpen Xiaobao's combat power. During this period, one thousand and eight kinds of evil spirits in the world were collected. Ordinary cultivators who entered it would probably die long ago. Lost.
Shao Haoyu's ability to survive to this day is obviously due to the two emperors around him, but it is obvious that the three of them also suffered a lot in the evil refining area.
Other than that, everything seemed very calm. There was still no movement in Taichu Temple, and senior brother Wu Xuechan still had not come. Even Lao Bai had been studying the "Holy Witch Born Bone", and even Chen Xi calling it was... He turned a deaf ear, looking absorbed and obsessed.
On this day, Chen Xi was meditating in the purple bamboo forest. After more than four years of silent cultivation, his cultivation in the early stage of Ancestral God has also improved greatly, and now there are faint signs of advancing to the middle stage of Ancestral God.
I believe it won’t take long to reach this step.
Xiaobao is playing chess with Ye Yan, using the power of the law of the great road he has mastered as the chess piece, the longitude and latitude of the heaven and earth as the chessboard, and the rule of "Tao derives all things, and creates and restrains each other" as the rule, fighting each other.
This is also a kind of training. It is a unique little secret method passed down by the previous Guanzhu in his spare time. However, at that time, Xiaobao and Huicong were playing chess.
But now, it's Xiaobao playing chess with Huicong's sister Ye Yan.
Without the distractions and intrigues from the outside world, everything seemed very leisurely, distant and peaceful.
But not long after, both Chen Xi who was meditating and Xiaobao and Ye Yan who were playing chess were all startled by a voice.
"Xiaobao, bring them in."
The gentle voice spread from Taichu Temple, and it came from the white spirit deer.
Success
Chen Xi's heart was shocked, and he immediately stood up without thinking about anything else.
Ye Yan was also stunned, but her expression was a little hesitant and uneasy, as if she didn't know how to face her sister whom she hadn't seen for many years.
"Oh, it seems that you are leaving... There will be no one to play with me in the future."
Xiaobao looked wilted and depressed, shaking his head and sighing.
But no matter how reluctant it was, it still sprang up and took Chen Xi and Ye Yan towards Taichu Watching, which was far away on the bluestone road.
