Revenge
Lian 'er, I'm back ~"
A clear male voice sounded outside the door, and the door was pulled open at the same time.
After killing the chicken as a warning to the monkeys, the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames returned to the Han Residence and immediately went to Red Lotus's house to look for her.
In the end, Six Paths of Heavenly Flames actually saw Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple, who was always cheerful, lying on the table with a worried expression.
Six Paths of Heavenly Flames couldn't help but frown. He hurriedly asked,""What's wrong, Lian 'er? Don't tell me you're still sulking because I didn't bring you out just now?”Thinking about it, it shouldn't be. Although this little girl was a little willful, she threw it away quickly after being angry. Something else probably happened.
Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple was stunned when she heard Six Paths of Heavenly Flames 'question. Then, she looked up at Six Paths of Heavenly Flames and said,"" Big Brother Tian Yan is back…" He had just noticed the Six Heavenly Flames coming over, and his tone was still listless.
In the memories of the Six Heavenly Flames, it was rare to see Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple like this. He sat down beside Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple and half-jokingly tried to get rid of Red Lotus 'unhappy expression. He smiled and said,""Our beautiful Lian 'er looks like a little old lady now. Come, quickly tell big brother what's wrong? Did your godmother teach you a lesson again? I'll bring you to settle the score with her!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Is Godmother that bad?" Unexpectedly, Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple shouted at the Six Heavenly Flames excitedly," I've never heard you say anything nice about Godmother. You keep saying all kinds of things about Godmother. If it wasn't for Godmother, would you have been able to live so peacefully until now? Can you have such peerless skills?! You're really heartless."
" Lian 'er…You…" Red Lotus's roar from Phoenix Temple had stunned Six Paths of Heavenly Flames. Although she had often defended Dugu Han in the past, she had never shouted at him like today. This was the truth. Although Dugu Han treated him coldly, he would think of him many times. It was indeed not easy to treat someone who wanted to kill him at any moment like Dugu Han.
When Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple asked about it, Six Paths of Heavenly Flames didn't hide the fact that he was taken in by Dugu Han. Even Qin Wu, who seemed to be more glorious than Six Paths of Heavenly Flames in the Han Residence, didn't hide anything. Therefore, Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple knew that Dugu Han had once destroyed the entire country and Qin Wu's family. Of course, as for Qin Wu, he was just making things up, and it was not something that Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple could know. After all, Qin Wu had kept this secret from the Six Heavenly Flames until now.
Only when asked why Dugu Han would take in someone who wanted to kill him would he try his best to avoid the question. He would always say,"" I did such a meaningless thing because of his talent in swordsmanship…" Such words were obviously an excuse in the eyes of a little girl like Red Lotus from Phoenix Temple who had not come into contact with the dark. It was fine for Qin Wu, but how could Dugu Han take a fancy to the Six Heavenly Flames, which could only reach the level of a Sword Master?
There was one time when Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple was not discouraged and kept pestering him. Dugu Han sighed. Although he was still expressionless, Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple remembered clearly that Dugu Han was helpless at that time. He was helpless not because of her questioning, but because of the question itself. What I owe him, the debt I owe…I'll never be able to repay it."
Red Lotus of Fenghuang Temple was still young at that time. She was only eight or nine years old. Now that she thought about it, she understood a lot. She naturally felt that her godmother was very pitiful.
Yes, Brother Qin Wu was also very pitiful. After all, her godmother had killed his entire family. Yes, Tianyan ge-ge was even more pitiful. His godmother had destroyed his entire country…She also admitted that her godmother was able to become the first Sword Demon in the world, so there must have been countless vengeful souls under her sword. However, wasn't her godmother pitiful? Was her godmother really cold-blooded and heartless?
Obviously not! Her godmother was a loyal person. Otherwise, why would she take Brother Tianyan and Brother Qin Wu in? Otherwise, why would he take her in? Her godmother was very pitiful, because in her eyes, Brother Tianyan and Brother Qin Wu could never feel it.
Godmother had put in so much effort, but this was not even as good as her! She felt that once she grew up, she definitely wouldn't be as heartless as her two brothers…
Red Lotus of Fenghuang Temple naturally did not deny the massacre that her godmother had caused. To the law, she was an unpardonable and heinous person. However, to her two brothers, what kind of deep hatred could not be resolved? Everything in the world would eventually turn to dust. After so many years of hard work, could it not resolve a little hatred?
Because of this, although she was on good terms with Tianyan gege, who treated her even better than his own little sister, she still felt a trace of dissatisfaction in her heart. It was dissatisfaction for her godmother. This thought had existed for a long time, but every time she saw the uncontrollable warmth in Tianyan gege's eyes, she wanted to say it but swallowed it back.
Today, the Six Heavenly Flames mentioned this again. Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple finally could not help but explode.
However, looking at Six Paths of Heavenly Flame's stunned and injured expression, she regretted speaking in such a harsh tone. This was Brother Tian Yan, who had always doted on her like a pearl in his palm. Hence, Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple changed her attitude and her tone became gentle,""Brother Tianyan, I was a little emotional just now. I'm sorry…but I'm telling the truth. Why can't you get along with Godmother? I've always thought that you're better than Brother Qin Wu, but I think you're far inferior to him in this matter."
Sure enough, Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple's " I've always thought you were better than Brother Qin Wu " was very useful to Six Paths of Heavenly Flames. However, the last sentence made him feel a little awkward.
He had once thought that no matter what kind of deep hatred he had, it would fade away with the passage of time. However, he now realized that he had not. Even after so many years, even if Dugu Han had treated him well, if there was a chance, he would definitely find Dugu Han to take revenge. He had remained silent for so many years, wasn't he waiting for an opportunity to defeat Dugu Han?
As for Qin Wu…the Six Paths Heavenly Flames thought that the friendship between Qin Wu and Dugu Han was just an act. They had to admit that Qin Wu had always been better than them, so it was normal for him to be better at stirring up people's hearts.
Just as he was about to speak, Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple threw herself into his arms, but he did not feel embarrassed. It was not that he enjoyed it, but he was used to it after so many years…Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple said pitifully in his arms,"" Big brother Tianyan, Godmother said that she sensed that she would be facing a great calamity in the next few years and that it would be very difficult for her to escape…She also said that she was worried about what would happen to me if I died. She said that she was most worried about my safety."
After hearing what Red Lotus of Fenghuang Temple said, the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames immediately felt relieved. No wonder Lian 'er was a little excited just now. However, after hearing the second half of the sentence, Six Paths of Heavenly Flames couldn't help but sneer. Worried about Lian 'er? He was probably worried that he wouldn't be able to create a second cold-blooded and heartless Sword Demon…
"Tianyan ge-ge, if someone came to kill Godmother, would you kill that person?”Red Lotus of Fenghuang Temple asked hopefully with her eyes wide open.
"Naturally!" Six Paths of Heavenly Flames looked at Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple and could not help but blurt out resolutely, but he did not say the second half of the sentence, Because…Dugu Han can only be killed by me and Qin Wu!
Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple didn't know that the Six Heavenly Flames hated Dugu Han to such an extent that they wanted to kill her godmother. Thus, he thought that the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames still had feelings for Dugu Han, and he felt at ease after receiving this assurance.
However, before he could say anything, a clear but resentful female voice appeared outside the door.
" Young Master Six Paths, Miss Phoenix Temple…"…It was the servant girl of the Han Residence. If one listened carefully, one would find that the voice actually carried a bit of sobbing.
"What is it?" Six Paths of Heavenly Flames asked gently. He was very polite to people other than Dugu Han, even a servant girl.
However, he never expected that the servant girl's next words would strike him like lightning.
" We've received news that Lord Steward Feng Sanniang passed away on Boundless Peak in the Snow Country yesterday…"
………………
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Holding the little hand of Red Lotus from Phoenix Temple, Six Paths of Heavenly Flames arrived at Dugu Han's office with unstable breathing.
Red Lotus of Fenghuang Temple was already tearing up. The eyes of the Heavenly Flames of the Six Paths were also red. Just as he was about to speak, a few drops of tears fell.
" Who…who did this?!" Six Paths of Heavenly Flames suppressed the trembling in his heart and the sadness that was no less than when his country was destroyed. He hated Dugu Han in his heart, but his relationship with Feng Sanniang had always been very good. Feng Sanniang had patiently taught him swordsmanship. Dugu Han treated him coldly, but Feng Sanniang often asked about his well-being, as if she was a family member.
All these years, Feng Sanniang's position in the heart of the Six Heavenly Flames was almost the same as Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple. Now that he knew that Feng Sanniang had fallen, how could he pretend that nothing had happened?
Dugu Han and Qin Wu were naturally already there. They had just received the news and called the Six Heavenly Flames and Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple over.
To be honest, their first reaction when they heard the news was " impossible."
It was just a mission to kill a Sword Saint in the Snow Country two days ago. How could Feng Sanniang die?
Feng Sanniang's swordsmanship was second only to Dugu Han and Qin Wu, the two Sword Devils. She was far superior to any other Sword Saint. Even when she fought with Qin Wu, she could maintain a dozen rounds without losing.
Old Sword Saint Oda Asamatsu, who had exchanged a few blows with Dugu Han, had already reached the peak of Sword Saint and was only one step away from becoming a Sword Demon. Even if she faced several Sword Saints at the same time, Feng Sanniang would not be in much danger. Even the First Elder of the Sword Valley, Feng Sanniang, could easily come and go without a trace.
In their minds, there were only three people who could kill Lady Feng Sanniang. They were Dugu Han, the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames, and Qin Wu. And these three people were the least likely to attack Feng Sanniang.
At this moment, Dugu Han was much calmer than Red Lotus and Six Paths of Heavenly Flames of Phoenix Temple, who had lost control of their emotions.
Maintaining his cold expression, Dugu Han said indifferently,""What's there to be sad about? Swordsmen were born in a suicidal situation. They were either killed by swords or killed by others. As one of the top swordsmen, Manager Feng naturally lost countless lives under his sword. It was normal for him to meet a stronger opponent and die because of karma.
Although she said that, Dugu Han wasn't really cold-blooded. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said that she was an imperfect Sword Demon. At this moment, her heart was also unusually uncomfortable. Feng Sanniang was also her master, and she was also the person who risked her life to protect her when her clan was exterminated.
Even Dugu Han couldn't believe it when he received the news. However, when she couldn't sense the aura that was deeply imprinted in Feng Sanniang's heart, she had no choice but to believe this news. With her understanding of swordsmanship and familiarity with Feng Sanniang, even Feng Sanniang, who was also a master of swordsmanship, was unable to cut off Dugu Han's senses. If he couldn't sense Feng Sanniang's aura, then there was only one possibility. Feng Sanniang wasn't here.
"Dugu Han! Are you still human?" Seeing Dugu Han's indifference, Six Paths of Heavenly Flames couldn't help but curse with tears in his eyes." As far as I know, Aunty Feng is your master, right? He is also the person you are most familiar with, right? Now that she has left, you can still say such words without batting an eyelid…Heh! I remember now, of course you're not human. You're the Sword Demon, how could you have feelings?”。
"…" Dugu Han didn't refute the accusation of the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames. After all, who could be sadder than her when Feng Sanniang passed away…
The only one who could sense Dugu Han's thoughts was Qin Wu.
" Tianyan, we should be discussing how to take back Manager Feng's body and avenge him. We shouldn't pursue our feelings," Qin Wu said.
Speaking of Qin Wu, he was even more powerful than Dugu Han. Dugu Han was expressionless, but Qin Wu had a bright smile on his face, as if he was very happy that Feng Sanniang was dead…
It was fine if he didn't notice Qin Wu's expression, but after hearing what Qin Wu said, the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames saw Qin Wu's expression and couldn't help but be stunned. Why could Qin Wu still smile like this in such an occasion…Dugu Han had said that Qin Wu was different from her and was a perfect swordsman, so did that mean…Qin Wu was truly heartless and without desire?
As he thought about this, the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames contacted Qin Wu. Qin Wu's expression became less and less, and in the end, he only smiled. At the same time, his swordsmanship was also slowly improving... He suddenly felt that his guess was very likely. However, he couldn't get angry at Qin Wu. He blamed this on Dugu Han. If Dugu Han hadn't been so eager for Qin Wu's swordsmanship, how could Qin Wu have lost his feelings?
"Qin Wu is right."Right now, we should go to the Snow Country's Boundless Peak to carry out a punitive expedition.
"Where is the Boundless Peak of the Snow Country?”The Six Paths Heavenly Flames rarely revealed killing intent, but at this moment, it was all there." I want that guy who killed Aunt Feng to suffer a fate worse than death, never to be reincarnated!”。
Unexpectedly, Dugu Han said,"There's no need. Qin Wu and I will go this time." You stay in the Han residence."
" Why?!" The Six Paths of Heavenly Flames was in a state of turmoil as he shouted at Dugu Han.
Glancing at the six heavenly flames, Dugu Han calmly said,""What are you going to do with your emotional state? Moreover, Qin Wu and I are enough for this matter. The Han Residence had always been under Manager Feng's watch, but now that Manager Feng is no longer around, as your sword arts instructor, it's only right for you to stay and watch."
Originally, Six Paths of Heavenly Flames wanted to seek justice for Feng Sanniang no matter what, but after hearing Dugu Han's words, he felt that it made sense.
Dugu Han was Feng Sanniang's personal disciple, so it was only right for him to avenge his master. As for Qin Wu…Although there was no reason for him to go, he had no objections because that person was Qin Wu.
Therefore, under such a strange mentality and persuasion, Six Paths of Heavenly Flames looked at Qin Wu with red eyes."Qin Wu, you must help Aunt Feng take revenge perfectly! Even my share!"
If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely not understand what was called the " perfect revenge ". Could revenge be perfect or imperfect? But since the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames said so, Qin Wu understood.
"Of course, I'll do it perfectly." Qin Wu smiled and nodded. Even if everything needs to be flawless, it's not perfect."
At this moment, Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple, who had been crying, finally spoke,"" Godmother, I want to avenge Aunt Feng too…"
"Nonsense!" (×2)
This time, it was Dugu Han and the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames who spoke up.
Dugu Han frowned." Someone who could kill General Manager Feng? Is he someone who would seek death with your meager strength?" Stay here obediently. If you want to repay Manager Feng, cultivate properly! Tian Yan, take Hong Lian and retreat."
For the sake of Phoenix Temple's Red Lotus, Six Paths of Heavenly Flames could only pull the crying Red Lotus out of the office. Before leaving, he did not forget to look deeply at Dugu Han and nodded at Qin Wu.
……………………
" Sigh…" After the Six Heavenly Flames dragged the noisy Red Lotus of Phoenix Temple away, Dugu Han let out a long sigh." Even Manager Feng was defeated. I can't believe so many sword arts geniuses have appeared in recent years."
Qin Wu nodded with a smile. It was hard to tell what he was feeling. He said,"Yes. More than ten years ago, three of those Sword Saints died at once. Other than you, the Sword Demon, there are only three Sword Saints left, including Manager Feng. However, he did not expect that in the past ten years, nine more Sword Saints would appear, making the world have twelve Sword Saints."Just this alone has surpassed the total number of Sword Saints in the past. If we count Red Lotus, you, and I who have become Sword Demons, we have more than fifteen Sword Saints. This is the peak era of swordsmen and warriors."
Dugu Han shook his head slightly."Although the Sword Dao is currently flourishing, it will probably decline and be replaced by new things in the near future.
Both he and Dugu Han understood the logic behind Qin Wu's reply. Qin Wu admired Dugu Han's ability to calculate so clearly.
"Qin Wu, let's go." Dugu Han suddenly put away his emotional state, and his eyes emitted extreme coldness."If General Manager Feng was killed by a few Sword Saints, then even if the era of Sword Dao is destroyed by me, I will avenge General Manager Feng!”。
Qin Wu smiled and didn't say anything. Even the Sword Demon didn't only have swords in his eyes. A swordsman who only saw the sword would definitely not be able to reach the highest realm.
Becoming a Sword Demon did not mean that one had reached the highest realm of the sword. He hadn't achieved it, but Dugu Han had…
Dugu Han was not born for the sword, because…the sword was born for Dugu Han.
Without even opening up the space, the two of them had already appeared in another place several million kilometers away from the Han Residence.
For those who could grasp the laws, the leap of laws was far higher than the realm of spatial teleportation…
.................................................................................
At the end of the chapter, the sage said: From now on, I am not born for the rotation of destiny, because the rotation of destiny has already been born for me. At this point, I no longer have the Heavenly Dao in my eyes.
