I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 104 Sisterly Love
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei's pupils shrank, and the little color on her face quickly faded. She suppressed her tangled thoughts and defended herself:
"Seventy years ago? I wasn't even born then, how could I know these things?"

Su Yue'e took a step forward, her eyes like a knife, staring directly at Madam Wei, as if to pierce her soul:
"Don't deny it! That was before you used the devil's way to reincarnate. Think about it carefully..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wei's already pale face gradually became even gloomier:

"Su Yue'e, who are you? Why do you know about me?"

Su Yue'e gritted her teeth and said bitterly:
"I know a lot more... Seventy years ago, you were still a demon cultivator. In order to advance to the third level of 'demon', you used evil spirits to possess more than thirty children in Niujia Village in one breath, causing them all to die in agony. Do you remember this?

"No, a demon like you wouldn't care about a few dozen lives. You might have forgotten about it already.

"But I remember, because among those thirty or so children, there was my son..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked the bright ruby ​​pendant on her chest. Under the halo of light, the figure of a little boy of five or six years old was vaguely visible. He had double buns on his hair and looked pretty and cute. He was standing next to her.

"Dad, where is this? Who is she?"

Su Yue'e looked at the little boy lovingly, and suddenly pointed at Madam Wei:
"Who is she? She is the demon who killed our family of three and dozens of lives in Niujia Village!"

The little boy said in a confused manner:
"Then she is a bad person..."

Su Yue'e nodded:
"Yes, she is the biggest villain. Xiaojie, go get some sleep first. I will talk to you after dad avenges us."

As she spoke, she waved her hand and put the little boy's figure back into the pendant, as if she didn't want her child to see the bloody scene that was about to happen.

When Mrs. Wei saw the little boy, her expression changed again and she said incredulously:
"You are Niu Junjie's father? You actually survived until now and turned into a woman? What on earth did you do?"

Su Yue'e's eyes were filled with anger, and she said without concealing her aura:

"Do you want to know? Then I'll tell you everything and let you die knowing full well.

“I was originally from Bianliang City, but later I went to Longhu Mountain to learn martial arts, so my family moved to Niujia Village.

“Although Tianshi Dao does not prohibit marriage, the life of a Taoist is hard. I can only go home three times a year. I have a beautiful wife and good land, but I cannot enjoy them.

“Just when I was about to achieve the Golden Elixir and be able to go down the mountain to reunite with my family, I suddenly heard that there were traces of the demonic Dao in Niujia Village.

"I had a bad feeling at the time, and when I returned to Niujia Village with my fellow apprentices to slay the demons, I found that the place had become a living hell. One child after another was possessed by evil spirits and tortured, and one family after another was destroyed. The whole village was wailing.

"Because there were so many deaths at that time, the village couldn't even find enough coffins for burials, so they could only pile up the dead bodies in the houses to rot and stink..."

Under the dim candlelight, Su Yue'e's lips trembled as she slowly recounted the horrific events of the past.

Her voice was low and hoarse, as if every word carried a heavy burden.

It seemed that just recalling those terrible moments was enough to overwhelm her and she had to keep fighting against invisible demons.

She continued:
“…When I rushed home, my wife had lost her mind due to the evil spirit’s contamination and committed suicide. Xiaojie had also been drained of his vitality by the evil spirit and could not be saved.

“I wanted revenge like crazy, but I was too weak. Although I joined forces with my fellow disciples to kill your main body, your clone escaped.

"At that time, I was completely hopeless and wanted to follow my family. But the heavens did not abandon me. I received guidance from the Lord of the Netherworld, who taught me the method of capturing souls, which allowed me to capture Xiaojie's soul from his rotten body and then seal it in a secret treasure for preservation.

“But his soul has merged with your evil spirit. If you want to purify Xiaojie’s soul and reshape his body, you must find your clone and use your spirit body as a guide to eliminate the evil spirit.

“In order to kill your clone for revenge and to give Xiaojie a complete body, I betrayed Longhu Mountain and sacrificed all my flesh, blood and golden elixir to the Lord of the Netherworld. I turned to the way of the Pluto again and condensed this half-human, half-ghost body. I wandered along the way, learning to seduce men little by little, and absorbing their yang energy to prolong the lives of myself and Xiaojie.

“I have been searching for your clone for seventy years, and only got a clue in the past year. I know that you not only relied on your clone to revive, but also successfully switched to practicing witchcraft. You even transformed yourself into the divine messenger of the Wu Shi Sect in Bianliang City, and your status is very high.

"So in order to take revenge, I had no choice but to marry Yun Zhaozhong of the Changle Gang, so that I could lurk by your side and become your good sisters who could talk about anything.

"Do you know how much I hate it when I call you 'sister' every day and pretend to be nice to you without letting anyone see the flaws?
“How many times have I been tempted to fight you, but I know I am no match for you. For Xiaojie, I must endure the humiliation and wait for the opportunity for revenge.

“I know that you have two paths at the same time, and sooner or later the disadvantages will show up.

“It was not until recently that two more children were harmed by evil spirits and nearly lost their lives that I was certain that you had finally reached a period of weakness. Not only could you no longer control the evil spirits in your body, but your abilities in all aspects also declined significantly.

"Even if this was the case, I might not be able to kill you, but now God is helping me and you are still injured. Today I will take your life to commemorate my deceased wife and the dozens of lives lost in Niujia Village!"

After listening to Su Yue'e's words, Madam Wei's gloomy face gradually calmed down and she said slowly:

"You can see through my identity, know my weaknesses, and find Wuyou Cave while I'm injured. Who is helping you?"

Su Yue'e snorted coldly:

"You will never know. For the past seventy years, I have been preparing for this moment every day. I have thought about any of your responses countless times in my mind. Don't try to play tricks on me, and don't try to trick me. If you have anything to ask, when you go to hell, go ask the 'Lord of the Abyss' of your demon world, or the 'Faceless Immortal' you are serving now..."

Madam Wei raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said contemptuously:
"It's true that I'm in a weak period, but do you think you're qualified to kill me?"

As she spoke, she gently stroked the emerald ring on her finger, and puffs of black smoke suddenly came out. In each puff of smoke, there was a skull with high cheekbones and eyes emitting red flames. The face was hideous and hateful, with a terrifying evil aura.

Su Yue'e was not in a hurry. She grasped the index finger of her left hand with her right hand, and then pulled it hard, forcibly breaking her finger off.

The white bones and the blood are so numerous that it makes people shudder at the sight of them.

Immediately afterwards, the half finger in her hand emitted golden light, expanded in the wind, and quickly revealed its true appearance.

It was a bright yellow golden tablet with intricate and strange patterns on it, as if it was a ferocious beast from ancient times whose face could not be seen clearly, and it was filled with a chaotic and frenzied aura.

Seeing the golden tablet in Su Yue'e's hand, Madam Wei's expression finally changed...

……

Li Qingyun took Xu Liang and continued to search for a way out of Wuyou Cave according to the divination. As they walked, he suddenly said to Xu Liang with a little doubt:

"Third brother, there are some things in today's case that I have not figured out. I would like to hear your opinion." Xu Liang glanced at him and said:

"Okay, tell me."

Li Qingyun said:
“First, from what we know about Qiu Wang, he is a man who plans before he acts, and he is used to hiding behind the scenes and manipulating everything. How could he suddenly come alone and rashly attack us?
"Secondly, even if he wanted to eliminate us, how did he know the time and place of our meeting with the Wu Shi Sect's envoy and lie in ambush nearby?"

The whole thing went unexpectedly smoothly today, which made the always cautious Li Qingyun suspect that there was a conspiracy behind it.

If it weren't for the fact that the "Soul Devouring" magical power actually devoured nearly a thousand points of blood and energy, he would even suspect that Qiu Wang had just faked his death to deceive all of them and had other plans of his own.

Xu Liang thought for a moment and said:
"What a coincidence! People in Shanxi are also thinking about these issues, so we guessed the same thing.

"In my opinion, these two things are not difficult to explain. First, Qiu Wang encountered us suddenly. He did not have time to make more detailed preparations, but he did not want to miss the opportunity to capture the elite of Kaifeng Prefecture, so he set up an ambush.

“He was not acting recklessly, but was prepared to retreat safely even if he failed, thanks to his familiarity with the terrain of Wuyou Cave.

“In fact, his plan was flawless. If you hadn’t unexpectedly gotten rid of the illusion in advance, and if you hadn’t been able to injure him with Marshal Mu’s flying knife, and if you hadn’t possessed the magical secret technique of tracking with blood, Yunrui, Huo Shuai, and I alone would actually be unable to do anything to him.

"As for the second point, it is easier to explain. There has always been a rift between the Divine Descent Sect and the Hermit Sect in their Wu Shi Sect. It is not surprising at all that Qiu Wang is always monitoring the movements of the Wu Shi Sect's Divine Envoy.

"Only in this way could he discover our meeting with the envoy of God in the first place. He also heard that we would team up to deal with him, so he was desperate and set up an ambush in a hurry, hoping to strike first."

Li Qingyun nodded. Xu Liang's explanation was similar to what he thought, but he always had a feeling that this matter was not over yet.

Even though it was just a vague feeling, as a deity with the power of divination, he would naturally not ignore his own sudden thoughts, which often contained important revelations.

Xu Liang saw his worry and said with a smile:

"Qingyun, in our line of work, we can't demand perfection in everything. No matter what, Qiu Wang has been executed, and with one gain and one loss, there is one less evil demon, and the people will be safer. You should be happy."

Li Qingyun nodded and understood the meaning of Xu Liang's words.

Kaifeng Prefecture has limited staff, and the energy of those on duty is also limited. Faced with so many cases every day, even if they do not rest for twelve hours, it is impossible to restore every detail exactly.

After all, the job of the Kaifeng Prefecture's officials is not to play reasoning games, but to protect the safety of the people. As long as the evildoers are brought to justice and the world is at peace, there is no need to waste a lot of time digging out all the secrets hidden in the truth of the matter bit by bit.

What's more, this may cause them to see and hear dangerous things that they shouldn't see or hear.

For example, secrets involving gods.

……

When the two of them took Lu Zhen back to the scene of the previous battle with Qiu Wang, Fan Zidu shook his head and sighed:
"The aura here is chaotic, and there is a lingering aura of a higher level. I can't communicate with the spirit."

Bai Yunrui frowned and said:

"What should we do? We haven't found the location of those divine descent ceremonies yet."

Xu Liang also asked:
"Old Four, is there no other way?"

Lu Zhen couldn't help but smile and joked:
“Third brother, there is obviously a residual breath of gods here, which is mixed with Qiu Wang’s spirit. I may be able to clear away the chaos and find Qiu Wang’s spirit in the spirit world, but I can’t avoid facing a part of the true spirit of the Faceless Immortal. Then I may have to trouble you to help me collect the body.”

Xu Liang punched him lightly on the chest and scolded him with a smile:
"When did you learn so many strange words? In this case, we can only wait until tomorrow to ask for help from the angel of God."

Li Qingyun thought for a while and said:

"Why don't we go now? I know that the divine messenger is a sorcerer who has studied spirits. Maybe she has other ways to collect Qiu Wang's spirit. Besides, we originally promised to give Qiu Wang's spirit to her. If she can't collect it, then it's naturally not our fault."

Xu Liang nodded:
"That makes sense. Let's go now."

Led by Li Qingyun, the few people went around and around and finally returned to the cave where Mrs. Wei was.

But as soon as they came in, they were shocked.

It was completely empty and clean, as if no one had ever been here.

The original magic circle, shrine, puppets and statues had all disappeared, as if they had been carefully cleaned without even a trace of dust.

"This... Qingyun, we must have gone into the wrong cave."

Bai Yunrui asked in disbelief.

Li Qingyun shook his head. He possessed the power of divination. Everything he had done could be reproduced in meditation with the help of extrasensory perception. There was no possibility of taking the wrong path.

Xu Liang frowned:

"Could it be that the envoy of God felt that his position had been exposed, so he took advantage of this moment to change his hiding place?"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Qingyun:
"Qingyun, do you have any way to contact that divine messenger?"

Li Qingyun took out the sachet given by Mrs. Wei from his arms, wrote the three words "Liao Qingqing" on the piece of paper according to the law, and then began to meditate.

But this time when he fell asleep, he had no reaction and soon woke up from his trance.

Seeing him open his eyes, Xu Liang hurriedly asked:

"How about it?"

Li Qingyun shook his head:
"I haven't been in touch with her. Maybe it's really like she said. She was seriously injured and couldn't send me a message in her dreams."
