Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

Chapter 84 The Three Persian Envoys

The years of training by the sea were peaceful and monotonous. Su Xin and Yin Li were immersed in honing their martial arts skills every day, completely unaware that a storm surrounding the "destruction of the Ming Cult" was already escalating in the martial arts world, and all the blame was being directed at Su Xin.

No one knew that the real culprit behind the catastrophe at Bright Peak of the Ming Cult was Cheng Kun, who had been hiding in the shadows and stirring up trouble all along.

He remained hidden behind the scenes, using his subordinates to incite war, and then detonated Bright Peak with a suicide attack, personally destroying the foundation of the Ming Cult in the Central Plains, but quietly erasing all traces and hiding himself completely in the shadows.

Few people in the martial arts world knew of Cheng Kun's evil deeds, and even fewer could connect this catastrophe with this reclusive villain.

Su Xin, on the other hand, became the most "suitable" scapegoat.

He was indeed present during the chaos at Bright Peak, and possessed superb martial arts skills, making him one of the few people who managed to escape unscathed from that catastrophe.

In addition, his cultivation of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand has always been regarded as a "heretical path" by the orthodox sects. His actions are both righteous and evil, so he was naturally pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

In addition, Yang Xiao and Su Xin already had a personal feud.

As the rumors spread, a consensus eventually formed in the martial arts world:

It was Su Xin's own efforts that destroyed the Ming Cult in the Central Plains.

The news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the Central Plains martial arts world, and even crossed the ocean to the ears of the Ming Cult's headquarters in Persia.

The Persian Ming Cult's main branch was furious upon learning of the destruction of its Central Plains branch.

However, their mission was not to avenge the Ming Cult in the Central Plains.

For the main branch of the religion in Persia, although the branch in the Central Plains belonged to the devil, they did not have deep feelings for them. What they really cared about was the dignity of the main branch.

The open annihilation of a branch sect is undoubtedly a blatant slap in the face to the Persian Ming Cult's main branch. If left unchecked, the Persian Ming Cult's reputation in the martial arts world will be completely ruined.

The purpose of the Persian Ming Cult sending its three envoys to the Central Plains is quite clear:

First, we need to investigate the true nature of Su Xin, the "culprit," and see how capable this man who could destroy the Ming Cult in the Central Plains really is, and whether he will become an obstacle for the Persian Ming Cult to establish itself in the Central Plains.

Secondly, to find the lost holy maiden of the Persian Ming Cult and complete the mission entrusted by the head of the cult;

Thirdly, and most importantly.

To re-establish a branch of the Ming Cult in the Central Plains, this new branch would be a puppet directly controlled by the Persian Ming Cult, completely seizing control of the Ming Cult's power in the Central Plains, making up for the losses from the branch's destruction, and reviving the Persian Ming Cult's deterrent power in the Central Plains.

It is no coincidence that the three envoys of Fengyun have now entered the Central Plains and are searching for Su Xin's whereabouts.

From beginning to end, they were specifically targeting Su Xin, both to probe his background and to use the pretext of "punishing the murderer" to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.

Dai Qisi found Xie Xun, but unexpectedly she was coerced by the Three Envoys of Wind and Cloud.

Xie Xun at this time was no longer the Golden Lion King who was blinded by hatred and acted crazy.

He lost his sight, but this also shed his former ferocity, and his mind became more peaceful. Although he still occasionally acted mad, he was no longer blinded by hatred.

When he heard the rumor that "Su Xin destroyed the Ming Cult", his first reaction was disbelief.

Although Xie Xun and Su Xin were not close, Xie Xun was aware of Su Xin's style of doing things.

Although Su Xin cultivated poison skills, he was by no means a bloodthirsty person, and he would not destroy a large sect for no reason.

Moreover, although he did not witness the details of the chaos at Bright Peak firsthand, he sensed something amiss from the scattered news reports. He felt that the matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and that there must be another hidden story behind Su Xin.

With his doubts growing deeper, Xie Xun could no longer contain himself and followed Su Xin's trail all the way to the seaside.

He came here with no ill intentions; he simply wanted to ask Su Xin in person what the truth was about the incident at Bright Peak.

As for Dai Qisi, it was mainly to make amends for her past mistakes.

Back then, she betrayed the Persian Ming Cult because of her love for Han Qianye, and became an outcast of the Ming Cult. Over the years, she has been burdened with the crime of "traitor" and has always felt guilty.

Upon learning of the destruction of the Ming Cult in the Central Plains and hearing that Su Xin might have visited the Ming Cult's secret passages, she felt a desire to atone for her sins.

If we could find the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth and bring it back to the Ming Cult in Persia, perhaps we could atone for our past mistakes and regain the forgiveness of the main sect.

At this moment, on the beach, Su Xin was sitting cross-legged in front of the wooden house, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing. A faint true energy surrounded his body as he circulated his internal energy to transform the poisonous force, while simultaneously trying to comprehend the breakthrough opportunity for the sixth level of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand.

However, they were directly disturbed by this group of people.

Before long, a speedboat sailed out from the distant sea, cutting through the waves and soon docking at the shore.

Several figures disembarked from the boat.

Su Xin's gaze slowly swept over the three envoys of the Wind and Cloud, his mind quickly considering their martial arts styles.

The martial arts of the three Persian envoys are extremely strange, following an unpredictable path. They are skilled in joint locks and their moves are sinister, somewhat similar to the Serpent Fist. One must be very careful as a slight mistake can lead to being caught off guard.

During the battle, the three envoys of the Wind and Cloud Sect recited scriptures from the Persian Ming Cult. The scriptures were obscure and difficult to understand, accompanied by a low, reciting voice.

It occasionally unleashes sinister winds and bone-piercing needles.

This technique not only involves physical attacks but also incorporates invisible mental interference, making it a truly bizarre and ruthless approach that is impossible to defend against.

The leader, Liu Yun, stepped forward, his gaze coldly fixed on Su Xin, and announced his identity in a deep voice: "I am Liu Yun, the Grand Master of the Ming Cult in Persia. The other two are Miao Feng and Hui Yue. We have come from Persia to the Central Plains on the orders of the Grand Master to investigate the case of the Ming Cult's destruction."

Su Xin slowly rose, his expression calm and his tone composed: "I am Su Xin. May I ask what business you Persian envoys have with me?"

"That fiend Su Xin dared to personally annihilate my Ming Cult branch and slaughter its members! His crimes are heinous!" Envoy Huiyue roared, his tone filled with disdain and anger. "Knowing the enormity of his sins, why don't you surrender and return with us to the Persian headquarters for trial!"

The Flowing Cloud Envoy then took out two Sacred Flame Tokens from his robes, held them high above his head, and showed them to Xie Xun. His tone was authoritative, and he shouted sternly, "Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun, seeing the Sacred Flame Tokens is like seeing the Cult Leader! As a former member of the Ming Cult, do you dare betray the Cult? Quickly kill this demon Su Xin with your own hands to prove your loyalty, and we will forgive your past transgressions!"

Clearly, they intended to use Xie Xun to eliminate Su Xin, thereby establishing their authority through murder and paving the way for the future establishment of a puppet Ming Cult in the Central Plains.

Xie Xun completely ignored Liu Yunshi's rebuke. Instead, he turned his head towards Su Xin. Although he was blind, he could still accurately pinpoint Su Xin's location. His tone was urgent and doubtful: "Su Xin, everyone in the martial world says you destroyed the Ming Cult, but the explosion at Bright Peak was incredibly powerful. It doesn't seem like something a martial artist could pull off. Is this really unrelated to you?"

Su Xin had no intention of taking the blame. Upon hearing Xie Xun's question, he immediately spoke, his tone calm yet clear: "The truth behind all this has to do with Cheng Kun." After saying these two words, Su Xin looked at Xie Xun with pity.

This person is taking the blame for Yang Dingtian's actions!

She was even more wronged than Dou E.
