On the other side, in Danyang Sect.
On this day, Duan Mubai woke up from a coma and slowly opened his eyes. Ruan Changchun, who was standing by, saw him and asked happily, "Big Brother? Are you awake?"
Duan Mubai calmed down, looked at him, opened his mouth, and called out in a weak and hoarse voice: "Junior Brother."
Ruan Changchun helped him sit up and poured him a glass of water: "Drink a glass of water to moisten your throat first!"
Feeling that he had no strength left in his body, he sat on the bed and spoke weakly. After a while, he remembered Shangguan Wanrong and asked hurriedly, "Junior brother, Junior sister..."
Ruan Changchun held his hand, then walked outside, activated the formation of the cave, and then walked in: "Big Brother, you don't know how big a thing has happened in Danyang Sect during the days you were unconscious."
He moved a chair and sat down beside the bed. He looked at him and paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to start. After a long while, he said, "Master is dead."
"W-what? Master is dead? How could it be? Who killed him?" He asked in shock. The master of a peak is dead? Wouldn't their Sanyang Peak be in chaos
Ruan Changchun recalled what happened that night, and a complicated look flashed across his eyes: "It was Fengjiu who killed him. She was the servant Fengjiu in our peak. She was a girl, the daughter of Junior Sister. She sneaked into our peak, probably for Junior Sister."
"Fengjiu? Is she a girl? Or the daughter of Junior Sister?" Hearing this, Duan Mubai still found it incredible: "Fengjiu is just a cultivator at the foundation building level, how could she possibly kill Master? Could they have made a mistake?"
"I saw it with my own eyes. Fengjiu is already a Nascent Soul cultivator." He sighed and said, "Junior Sister was captured by Master. When Fengjiu rescued her from Master's cave, she was already dying. Her body was covered with whip marks. Master, he, whipped Junior Sister with a whip soaked in liquid medicine. He..."
There were some things he couldn't say. He was the only one who knew about that scene. It was like a big secret hidden in his heart, which he had to bear alone. It was also this secret that overturned his original respect and admiration for his master.
How could someone like Master do such a thing
Duan Mubai was speechless for a long time, just sitting there quietly. After a long while, he said, "Because Master's life span is coming to an end, and because he wants to survive, he wants to use Junior Sister as a human furnace to refine elixirs that can extend his life. I have always wanted to stop him, but unfortunately..."
Unfortunately, he couldn't stop it.
"Moreover, Senior Brother, Fengjiu also killed the sect master's super beast, and several strong men in the sect were killed. That night, a fire burned all the peaks. Even the sect master is still seriously injured and has not recovered yet. Now the whole sect is in chaos."
Hearing this, Duan Mubai was shocked: "The super beast that killed the sect master? Even the sect master was seriously injured? How could this matter become so serious?"
Their Danyang Sect is the largest alchemy sect among the eight empires. Such an incident is no small matter. Not to mention the chaos in the sect, they may even be targeted and suppressed by other forces and sects at any time, which would make the situation even worse.
Moreover, after such a big incident, would the sect really just let it go? I'm afraid they won't let Feng Jiu off easily.
