Chapter 1416: Chapter 527: Elixir Calamity Scheme (Part 2)
"Injustice? What injustice?"
Qing Yangyu asked.
Zhou Xuan pointed at Mr. Yan behind Zhao Wuya and said, "Green Sheep Palace Master, do you know why I want to kill Mr. Yan?"
"It’s not important. Such a maggot, Master Zhou wants to kill, then kill—although he is a member of the Heavenly Fire Clan, the Heavenly Fire Clan has many people, not short of one or two."
"Green Sheep Palace Master, Mr. Yan is here to steal the elixir; he wants to rob me of this ’Insect Ancestor Pill’."
"Ssss."
Qing Yangyu stared at the elixir in his hand for a moment, and when he looked up again, his gaze at Mr. Yan showed more disgust, saying coldly,
"That Mr. Nayan is truly despicable; if this elixir falls into his hands, I’m afraid he’ll go to Bai Yujing to boast for rewards, completely disregarding me as the Palace Master."
"Master Zhou, you did well to kill Mr. Yan. My only dissatisfaction is—why were you so merciful to leave him a whole corpse? Such a heinous person should be chopped up and fed to the dogs."
"Pah." Qing Yangyu spat in Mr. Yan’s direction to show his disdain.
Zhou Xuan then said, "If I didn’t leave a whole corpse, it might not serve as a warning."
"Warning, who do you want to warn?"
"Who else?" Zhou Xuan began his brainwashing mode.
Instead of stating the answer himself, he guided Qing Yangyu to guess, saying, "Green Sheep Palace Master, that Mr. Nayan resides far in the Heavenly Dome. How did he learn about my intention to refine an extremely high-grade elixir?"
"This..." Qing Yangyu pondered: "Perhaps he accidentally overheard some news?"
"I am afraid it’s not that simple." Zhou Xuan took out the pocket watch, pointed at the numbers on the dial, and said,
"My elixir takes two turns of the clock to be ready, but Mr. Yan came to steal it at ten o’clock at night, with only two hours in between.
If he accidentally got wind of some information, how would he know such precise timing of the elixir’s readiness?"
"Master Zhou speaks reasonably. To grasp the precise timing of the elixir’s readiness, I fear some people, through their magic artifact’s prediction, might have tipped off Mr. Yan."
"What magic artifact can predict that?" Zhou Xuan asked knowingly.
Qing Yangyu’s face turned grim, saying, "What else but the copper mirror from the cocoon room of the Zoroastrianism? This Zoroastrianism is truly no good, always opposing Master Zhou."
"That Zoroastrianism again; I’ve really dug up their eight generations of ancestors." Zhou Xuan immediately burst into an act, feigning unity with Qing Yangyu against a common enemy.
"Rest assured, Master Zhou, I’ll ease your mind. I’ll advocate your grievance, and if I don’t cut down a few of their managers, they won’t know who’s backing Master Zhou."
Qing Yangyu waved his hand broadly.
Zhou Xuan said, "Green Sheep Palace Master, I do have a plan that doesn’t require major weapons, yet ensures killing and soul-crushing."
"I’ve always known Master Zhou has many ways. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m genuinely interested in hearing about this soul-crushing method."
Qing Yangyu immediately perked up his ears.
Zhou Xuan said, "The Heavenly Dome has Divine Silk, right."
"Naturally."
"My method is to use Divine Silk from the Heavenly Dome to suspend Mr. Yan’s body, and then parade it through the fire pits of various spaces in Jing Country,
firstly, to let those Zoroastrianism people see the consequence of robbing my elixir,
secondly, using Divine Silk from the Heavenly Dome to suspend Mr. Yan, doesn’t it imply that in the Heavenly Dome, I, Zhou Xuan also have allies, making Zoroastrianism tremble with fear?
They’d lose face yet dare not speak up, silently suffering within themselves. Isn’t this soul-crushing?"
"Ssss... It must be said, this method is good. It will remind all Zoroastrians to remember, without me bearing the sin of killing their managers."
Qing Yangyu truly believes Zhou Xuan has the method to both intimidate and avoid the killing charge while duly venting the anger.
This method is indeed excellent.
"In that case, Master Zhou, I shall first return to the Heavenly Dome."
An insect-wing flapping sound came from within Qing Yangyu, and the sky immediately dropped down eight strands of Divine Silk, suspending Mr. Yan’s corpse behind Zhao Wuya.
"Green Sheep Palace Master, don’t rush to take him away. Let me add an inscription."
Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"Add an inscription?"
"Without an inscription, who knows this Mr. Yan was killed by me? Infamy is also fame, let me spread my renown."
"Indeed, indeed." Qing Yangyu agreed with Zhou Xuan’s suggestion.
Zhou Xuan immediately summoned Bone Teeth and inscribed a small poem on Mr. Yan’s maggot corpse—’I came to inquire with nothing else to say, clouds in the blue sky, water in the bottle.’
Upon seeing this poem, Qing Yangyu praised repeatedly: "Within this poem, upon careful pondering, there’s even some Zen philosophy, Master Zhou’s brushwork is truly admirable."
Whether Zen philosophy is there or not is insignificant; Zhou Xuan’s inscription was intended for those ’hidden spectators’ to see clearly—this maggot was the Qingping Daoist of the past.
The poem includes ’Qing,’ ’Ping,’ which ordinary people might not relate to, but if the Heavenly God Level who massacred the disciples of Hidden Dragon Mountain back then sees these words, plus the maggot corpse,
he will undoubtedly realize—the avenger from Dragon Seeking Hall has emerged.
Zhou Xuan then used Bone Teeth to write his inscription—’Killer, Zhou Xuan of Dragon Seeking Sensing Sect, Mingjiang Prefecture.’
"Green Sheep Palace Master, I have inscribed. The remaining..."
"This Palace Master will definitely..." Qing Yangyu was about to make a promise,
Zhou Xuan waved his hand: "You must handle it properly."
"..." Qing Yangyu.
Qing Yangyu was initially solemn, but after hearing Zhou Xuan’s rather colloquial statement, his tense spirit relaxed and he unexpectedly laughed out loud.
