Time seemed to have stopped. Di Xuanxun maintained this position for a long time without moving. The only thing that moved was the two drops of tears at the corner of her eyes.‘Tears that had lost their warmth rolled down her cheeks and landed on Di Xuanxun's palm before dispersing…Finally, she shifted her gaze and looked at the wetness spreading along the lines of her palm. She frowned slightly and her thoughts gradually returned. The misty look in her eyes was replaced by a sharp coldness.
After leaving the medicine room, Di Xuanxun sneaked to the exit of the passage. Through the hidden door, Di Xuanxun heard two people talking outside the door. One of the voices was very familiar. It was Xuan Jing. The other one was unknown, but he was definitely not a familiar face.
"Master, we can't touch Di Xuanxun. The people we sent are all dead.”When he thought of the broken corpses that had been found, the black-robed man's face was filled with indescribable fear. This was only a part of it. As for those who had not been discovered…Were they already sliced into pieces and turned into delicious food for wild beasts? Many experts had died under Di Xuanxun's command without even hurting her. How treacherous and powerful was that? Moreover, it was said that Di Xuanxun was extremely seductive and charming. Her appearance could be considered to be devastatingly beautiful. Could it be that Di Xuanxun was not a human, but a ghost or a demon?!
"Trash, what are you afraid of? He's also a human and will die!" Di Xuanjing scolded his subordinate in a low voice when he saw his subordinate's horrified expression. He was so upset that he could not calm down.
As long as Di Xuanxun was not eliminated, it would be difficult for him to win back the hearts of the people. Only by getting the approval of the Twelve Dark Soul Guards, the most elite assassin shadow of the Ghost Palace, could the position of the Palace Master of the Ghost Palace be secured. However, the 12 damned people were all waiting for Di Xuanxun to return. This was definitely the biggest obstacle for him to dominate the Ghost Palace and dominate the martial world! Instead of dealing with the twelve people who were skilled in martial arts, it was better to focus on killing Di Xuanxun once and for all!
Di Xuanxun's kung fu would have been hard to improve in the past seven years without experiencing bloodshed. But…but how could these people not be able to touch him at all? They were all trash! Did he have to do it himself?
"Master…this subordinate, this subordinate…suspects that he's not human. "Anyway, he won't come back. We might as well ignore him..." The man in black stammered.
"What do you know! Besides, how do you know he won't come back?”Even if Di Xuanxun had no desire for the position of Hall Master, he would not leave this hidden danger behind!
"He, he entered the palace and was conferred the title of Lord…The palace is filled with splendor and wealth, so he probably won't come back.”The Emperor was really capable of making a man an Imperial Consort. One could imagine how charming Di Xuanxun was. However, it was just a guess. He did not dare to approach Di Xuanxun. It was difficult to conceal his killing intent. If he went, he would definitely not return.
"How shameless. No wonder he went to a brothel to be an actor. He was born with a lewd appearance. He really didn't know why his foster father had adopted him back then!……It was indeed right to end up with Sun back then. Look at his despondent and lewd appearance now!……”Di Xuanjing scolded Di Xuanxun for being useless. To put it bluntly, he was jealous.
When the previous Ghost Palace Master had adopted Di Xuanxun, Di Xuanjing had been very reluctant. Di Xuanxun's appearance was indeed something that would make anyone feel ashamed. However, what was even more hateful was that Di Xuanxun was extremely talented. Di Xuanjing's martial arts that he had practiced for ten years could not compare to Di Xuanxun's martial arts that he had practiced for three years. Originally, Di Xuanjing was the rightful successor of the next Hall Master. However, ever since Di Xuanxun appeared, everyone's attention was focused on Di Xuanxun. They only had Di Xuanxun in their eyes…At the age of ten, Di Xuanxun had killed a martial arts expert who had dominated Jianghu for many years with one move. That ruthlessness, that ruthlessness, that precise judgment, and that steady aura made everyone see him as a god, as the future hope of the Ghost Palace.
"Master, is that falcon Di Xuanxun's lover?”The man in black asked in surprise. He had heard about what had happened seven years ago. Di Xuanxun had left the Ghost Palace because of the death of the falcon. Seven years ago, after Di Xuanxun's shadow committed suicide, Di Xuanxun's temperament changed drastically. She massacred the Ghost Palace overnight and then went to a brothel openly. Anyone would think that Di Xuanxun had gone mad. She had thrown away her future and everything for a shadow and had even become the most despised actress in the world.
" Yes, Di Xuanxun and Sun both deserve to die. I wanted to use this incident to make foster father and the people in the hall give up on him. Who knew that these old guys would still protect Di Xuanxun even though Sun died!”Di Xuanjing did not avoid the fact that he had a part in the matter back then. Although he had failed to achieve his goal back then, he had not expected Di Xuanxun to leave the Ghost Palace on her own because of the death of the falcon. This outcome was worth celebrating. This way, he would be able to take over the position of the Palace Master in the future, and his goal would be achieved!
It had been seven years. He had thought that everything would go according to his plan. However, his foster father had passed away a month ago. Although he did not leave any last words, the Elders and the Twelve Dark Soul Guards insisted that Di Xuanxun return to take over the throne. Even Di Xuanxue insisted on finding Di Xuanxun. Di Xuanxun…was really persistent!
Due to the unwillingness of the crowd, Di Xuanjing could not succeed the position of Hall Master at all. Di Xuanhao had actually interfered at this time. Di Xuanxue had no intention of taking that position, but Di Xuanhao was definitely taking advantage of the situation! Di Xuanjing was very clear about Di Xuanhao's ability. Without Di Xuanxun, Di Xuanjing would definitely be able to become the Hall Master. As for Di Xuanhao, Di Xuanjing did not care about him at all. Therefore, Di Xuanjing had been sending people to find an opportunity to assassinate Di Xuanxun these days. However, he had never succeeded.
" Master…Should we send more people? There aren't many people following us anymore…" The man in black wanted to say that if he continued to send more people, it would be his turn…He didn't want to push himself forward even though he knew that the result would be death.
"Do I have to do it myself…I raised you all for nothing!”
……
Di Xuanxun listened to their conversation from behind the secret door. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her skin, but she was unaware of it. Hatred and anger intertwined in his heart, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he would fulfill his wish today! It turned out that Di Xuanjing was also involved in Sun's death! If he did not want to make a move in any other place, but Di Xuanjing was alone in the Hall Master's sleeping chamber today, he would repay him for his 'care' all this while…For the sake of Sun and himself, he would settle all the old and new grudges today!
Di Xuanxun returned to the medicine room and found a bottle. Then, she went to the secret door and opened the mechanism.
The door of the secret passage opened and Di Xuanxun walked out.
When the two of them heard the voice, they looked at Di Xuanxun in surprise and horror. The reason Di Xuanjing and the black-clothed man chose to stay in the Hall Master's bedchamber was because it was very well hidden and soundproof, and outsiders did not dare to enter. Therefore, they had never expected Di Xuanxun to suddenly appear here. Moreover, there was a secret room here!
Di Xuanjing panicked as he looked at the figure approaching him. Did Di Xuanxun hear everything I said just now? Di Xuanxun hasn't changed at all in seven years! Although Di Xuanxun's expression was casual and relaxed, his eyes were as vicious and bloodthirsty as a hunter's. However, the more he acted like this, the more ruthless he became. His voice tightened, and Di Xuanjing said a few words with some difficulty,""Di…Xuan…Xun…How did you…How did you come in?”
"Only Godfather and I know about this secret passage. What right do you have to enter this room?! But this is good too…Heh, didn't you want to do it yourself? I'll give you this chance today. You've been taking care of me for the past few days. As for seven years ago…we'll have to settle our scores!”Di Xuanxun's words sounded relaxed, but they were like a heavy hammer smashing into the hearts of the two people opposite her.
When the man in black heard that it was Di Xuanxun, he widened his eyes in horror. She was really elusive. Her enchanting face and her calm and intimidating bearing were really like the legends…But, but…he didn't want to see Di Xuanxun!
"What do you want?" Di Xuanjing suppressed the fear in his heart and asked an idiotic question.
"Is this the quality of the next Ghost Palace Master…As an assassin, how should I answer your question?”Di Xuanjing had really not made any progress in the past seven years. With this kind of character, he was still delusional about the position that could not possibly belong to him…
…How sad, laughable, and lamentable!
"Kill him!" Di Xuanjing regretted asking this question. Yes, Di Xuanxun would not let him off. Realizing that either he or Di Xuanxun would die today, Di Xuanjing decided to take the initiative to attack first. Since it was impossible for the two of them to walk out of this room at the same time, they could only give it their all.
When the black-clothed man heard Di Xuanjing's roar, he knew very well that Di Xuanxun would not let the two of them off today. Therefore, he attacked Di Xuanxun mercilessly.
The two of them drew their swords and attacked the fleeting figure in order to stay alive. However, their kung fu was not on the same level as Di Xuanxun's. They dodged their fatal attacks again and again, but their bodies were already covered in blood from the violent aura of Di Xuanxun's long silk.
The longer they fought, the more disadvantaged the two were. Gradually, not to mention offense, even defense was lacking.
Seeing that the two of them were in a mess and that their stamina was not as good as before, Di Xuanxun's movements became even more ruthless and agile. She did not care about any tricks and only attacked the opponent's vital points accurately.
One end of the long silk wrapped around the man's neck like a living red flame dragon. Di Xuanxun pulled with her wrist, and the red silk wrapped around the man's throat with her Internal Strength, leaving a thin mark and breaking…The red silk was separated, and the man in black fell to the ground. His eyes widened in shock and unwillingness.
" It's your turn…His death is very easy…" Di Xuanxun's cold voice came out unhurriedly, but the threat and oppression in it was exceptionally clear. Her words were as ruthless and inviolable as Yama's.
At this moment, Di Xuanjing was still attacking Di Xuanxun. He knew that if he gave up on him, he would be worse off than death!
"I didn't expect you to be so persistent. Or should I say that you're too afraid of death?!”Di Xuanxun's red silk flew all over the sky and trapped Di Xuanjing within it. Then, she suddenly retracted it and jumped up to kick Di Xuanjing's chin.
Di Xuanjing's body flew up and landed on the Palace Master's throne. The huge impact caused Di Xuanjing to spurt out blood.
Di Xuanxun's face was cold. She walked closer to Di Xuanjing, pinched his dislocated chin, and helped him reattach it. At the same time, she took out the bottle and poured some unknown powder into his mouth.
" Uh…uh…uh…" Di Xuanjing raised his hand with difficulty and grabbed his throat. The burning sensation there made him feel like he was in purgatory. He wanted to shout, but he found that he had lost his ability to speak. Di Xuanjing's body trembled violently as he watched Di Xuanxun's next move in great fear.
"You want to ask yourself why you became mute? Don't worry, you won't be a mute after a while. Dead people don't need to speak!”Di Xuanxun grabbed Di Xuanjing's wrist that was placed around his neck and twisted it forcefully.
" Oh!" A sharp but vague miserable cry sounded. However, other than this sound, Di Xuanjing could not say a word.
After a few moves, Di Xuanjing's limbs were broken and he became a cripple.
"If you want to kill me, you can. But Sun…your sin is unforgivable, go and sacrifice yourself!”After saying that, Di Xuanxun closed her fingers. His fingertips were still red. Her eyes sharpened as she injected her internal energy into Di Xuanjing's chest. His heartbeat should have stopped! Di Xuanxun smiled coldly and pulled her hand away. Blood flowed down her wrist.
Di Xuanjing looked at the red blood spurting out of his chest and completely collapsed. After a moment, his head tilted and he lost the last trace of vitality.
" This is just the beginning…" Di Xuanxun casually pulled a corner of Di Xuanjing's clothes to wipe the blood off her hand. Then, she pressed the switch with her other hand and disappeared behind the secret door again.
" Sun, I'll definitely take revenge for you. I won't let any of those people off!" Zhao Feng said.”
Di Xuanxun narrowed her eyes slightly, and the hostility around her gradually calmed down. After leaving West Gem Mountain, Di Xuanxun felt a little tired. He did not want to live in those days of bloodshed, but he had no choice but to live in them…Was it fate? He did not linger any longer. His ghostly figure made use of the dark night to rush straight back to Kunyi Palace.
