There was only one person in the world who would address the Saint Teacher as Saint Father.
That was Rong Huizhi, who was chosen more than twenty years ago to bewitch the former Emperor and disrupt the capital of the Great Yin Dynasty!
No wonder the people like Hun Yuan could easily dissolve the gu that was placed on the soldiers and citizens of the capital. They even knew that the Drunken Gu Ring could turn Yun Xi from the host of the Mind-Reading Gu into the master of the Mind-Reading Gu.
But...wasn't she dead?
Zong Zheng Feng Yi was shocked. He waved his strange blade and forced Lan Chu back, then snatched the Saint Teacher to his side and shouted:
"Stop pretending to be a ghost! You definitely can't be Aunt Huizhi! She is already dead!"
"Who exactly are you!?"
Lan Chu didn't answer his question immediately. Instead, she looked him up and down several times, which made Zong Zheng Feng Yi feel uncomfortable.
Just as he was about to ask again, Lan Chu suddenly sneered:
"What a fool."
"What? You're protecting the Saint Teacher so much. Are you still waiting for his wounds to heal on their own and lead you out of this encirclement?"
Zong Zheng Feng Yi was shocked. He thought: How did she know this?
He only discovered this secret by accident. Only the Saint Teacher and himself knew about it in this world.
Who exactly was this person!? How did she even know about this!
The Saint Teacher's eyes twitched. He had a bad premonition.
As expected, he heard Lan Chu giggling:
"Oh right, I forgot that you don't know. After all, the Rejuvenation Gu has to use the heart and blood of one's own blood kin as a guide to be able to create the effect of growing back flesh and returning to a youthful appearance. Your body is the guide for his next Rejuvenation Gu. For such a secret, he of course won't tell you."
"What!?"
Zong Zheng Feng Yi didn't expect that the Rejuvenation Gu was refined in such a way. His hand that was holding the blade trembled and he subconsciously looked at the Saint Teacher behind him.
However, at the moment he met his gaze, he suddenly seemed to realize something. He turned his head sharply towards Lan Chu and angrily roared through gritted teeth:
"You're not going to try to sow discord between Grandfather and me!"
"Grandfather is the most capable Saint Teacher in the history of our Ying Country. The color of his eyes has already said everything. He has the ability to refine the Rejuvenation Gu that can heal wounds and grow back flesh on white bones from normal materials. This is also reasonable!"
"As for you, you have an unknown identity and are spouting nonsense. You just want me and Grandfather to have a rift, so that you can defeat us one by one! Humph—Don't even think about it!"
He turned the strange blade and was about to split Lan Chu in half.
Ling Yan flew over in a "whoosh" and blocked his blade with a "clang!" Then, she fought with him.
Lan Chu took a few steps back. The disdain in her eyes was even more obvious:
"Sure enough, a fool is a fool. Even after I've said so clearly, you can still find an excuse for yourself."
Although she was speaking to Zong Zheng Feng Yi, her dark eyes stared at the Saint Teacher without blinking:
"The greener the Saint Teacher's eyes are, it doesn't represent the purer his blood or the deeper his cultivation. Since ancient times, the greener the Saint Teacher's eyes are, it represents the more Rejuvenation Gu he has planted! In other words, it also means that he has killed more of his own blood kin!"
"Don't you realize that as his appearance becomes younger and younger, those siblings from your mother's side who have a little bit of blood relations will die for all sorts of strange reasons every few years? They've become fewer and fewer!?"
"Him!"
Suddenly, she raised her finger and pointed at the Saint Teacher. There was a huge amount of hatred on Lan Chu's ferocious face:
"He's not your grandfather! He's an old monster who has already lived for almost three hundred years. He's more than qualified to be your great-great-great grandfather!"
After she said this, everyone was shocked.
Without any prior agreement, they all turned their heads to look at the Saint Teacher beside them. His face was becoming increasingly unsightly. He had already pulled out his dagger and covered his heart as he secretly urged the Rejuvenation Gu to heal his wound.
Everyone thought: No wonder the Saint Teacher's martial arts are so good and it's so difficult to kill him. So he has already lived for so long!
Zong Zheng Feng Yi was even more shocked. He was distracted and Ling Yan took the opportunity to "swish" and cut open his chest. He took a few steps back.
Seeing that Lan Chu was so reasonable and logical, although he was reluctant to believe it, when he thought of the Saint Teacher's increasingly rare descendants in recent years, Zong Zheng Feng Yi could not help but have doubts. He asked:
"Grand, Grandfather? Is what she said true?"
The Saint Teacher's face was dark and terrifying. He was shocked to discover that his Rejuvenation Gu had lost its effects for some unknown reason. He had already urged it for so long, but there was not even a hint of his wound healing.
How could this be? What exactly did this crazy woman do to him!?
Under the illumination of the night pearls and candle flames in the secret passage, his green eyes were becoming increasingly terrifying. The Saint Teacher did not answer Zong Zheng Feng Yi. Suddenly, he widened his eyes and looked at Lan Chu. There was rare shock on his face:
"It, it's you! You're Lan Chu! That slut Huizhi's cousin!"
"Aiya~Saint Father remembers."
Lan Chu's smile became even more brilliant, but in the Saint Teacher's eyes, it was like a demon from hell:
"It's me."
"How is it? Have you discovered that your wound can't heal? Are you very regretful that you thought I could not stir up any trouble and did not dig out my heart? You did not kill me with a fatal strike despite the obstruction of Grand Master Qing Yi and my elder sister?"
"Heheh heh heh heh..."
Lan Chu gently touched her chest and laughed insanely:
"You see, so don't look down on anyone. When doing things...don't leave any room for mercy. Otherwise, your plan for the poison plague fourteen years ago would have succeeded. I would not have secretly followed Grand Master Qing Yi to learn, discovered your greatest secret and found a way to deal with your Rejuvenation Gu!"
"It's just a pity..."
Suddenly, her expression became dejected. Lan Chu's eyes were filled with sorrow:
"I exchanged Grand Master Qing Yi's life for this method. He was so good, he was better to me than my father. But you! You killed him! You killed my elder sister who treated me like her own sister! You also killed Grand Master Qing Yi who I regarded as my own father!"
"I saw with my own eyes...his blood seeped into that Bone Bead Bracelet and dyed it bright red..."
Suddenly, her eyes became fierce. Lan Chu "swish" and pulled out another short blade from her sleeve and attacked the Saint Teacher directly:
"You deserve to die! Today, I will make you pay with your life for them!"
Yi Yuan, who had recovered a little of his energy, followed closely behind and together with Lan Chu, they attacked the Saint Teacher who was already distracted and had a wound on his heart. They did not give him much room to defend himself.
Zong Zheng Feng Yi did not help anymore.
Ling Yan blocked him. He could not help for the time being.
The outcome was quickly decided.
Like a tall building with its foundation destroyed, the Saint Teacher was injured continuously. Yi Yuan took the opportunity and stabbed his abdomen with his sword. Lan Chu did not stop for a moment. Her short blade flashed across the Saint Teacher's neck like a meteor and brought out a spurt of blood.
Zong Zheng Feng Yi could not help but move. He was immediately stopped by Ling Yan.
The situation was clear. It was useless to struggle.
Lan Chu walked expressionlessly to the fallen Saint Teacher and snatched the long sword from Yi Yuan's hands. She "whoosh" and cut off the Saint Teacher's head.
The fresh and firm skin immediately became dry and thin. The Saint Teacher's entire body and head became like a mummy almost in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was shocked, but they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
However, they heard Yun Xi shouting in panic from behind:
"A Yuan! Hurry!"
