Chapter 68.1
Chapter 68 – Sect Master Yun (1)
Zhuo Zhengfan and Yun Xie both glanced at each other before Zhuo Zhengfan whispered, “They have all been drugged with something similar to a muscle relaxant . I brought the antidote; let’s split up?”
Yun Xie paused . “Don’t rush, Zhengfan, wait for me for a while . ”
“Okay, but time is running out, so hurry up . ”
Yun Xie smiled and said slowly, “Relax, we are not in a hurry . ”
He walked to the iron door of the first cell, reached out and twisted the lock, simply and roughly breaking into the prison . He pushed open the door and entered silently like running water . “Sect Master Wu, how are you?”
The person who was silenced by him raised his head in a little panic . The candle light shone on his fat round face . It was Wu Tianqi, the master of Yingan Sect in Yuele City . His daughter Wu Hui was also by his side, and when she saw Yun Xie, she exclaimed, “Brother Yun, is it you? Did you come to save us?”
Yun Xie sat down on a chair next to her, but when he saw that she seemed to want to leap onto him, he immediately followed with, “Yes, I had killed and fought my way from the outside into here to rescue you . If you take a look, you can still see the blood and brains and whatnot splashed on me . Oh, it’s really hard work . ”
Wu Hui stopped immediately and no longer had any intention to leap over .
Yun Xie raised his lips and pointed casually to lift Wu Tianqi’s ban .
Zhuo Zhengfan didn’t know what Yun Xie was going to do . He sneaked into the dungeon fearfully . He couldn’t act with swagger like this master here . He took out a paper bag from his arms and put it on the table . “Sect Master Yun and I’m here to take you out . Here is the antidote for the muscle relaxant . After you take it, your spiritual energy will slowly recover, and then you must leave with us quickly!”
Zhuo Zhengfan didn’t expect that after he finished saying this, the father and daughter duo merely looked at each other, and no one moved . Instead, Yun Xie slowly meandered over . With a squeeze of the bag, he said, “Zhengfan, remember what I said? Now you know, right? Sometimes, even if you are kind, people won’t believe you . ”
Zhuo Zhengfan said anxiously, “How come it is so difficult, then what should I do…”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Yun Xie suddenly get up and take long strides to stand right before Wu Tianqi . His hand darted out like lightning to squeeze the other’s cheeks, forcing his mouth open before he poured all the powder in . Then, he picked up a broken porcelain bowl from the table and subserviently offered him two sips of water .
Zhuo Zhengfan : “…”
As soon as Yun Xie let go, Wu Tianqi coughed loudly, almost choking to death . However, miraculously, he felt that the stagnation of the meridians in his body had reduced a lot .
Yun Xie smiled faintly, irony saturating his tone . “Do you still have doubts now?”
Wu Tianqi quickly shook his head . Yun Xie was not in the mood to tease him, so he tossed the bowl away and said directly, “Okay, Zhengfan, I’m troubling you to take Miss Wu out to have her to swallow the antidote in front of the people in the next cell . Then, pass the antidote to the people in the next cell . This way of taking the medicine one by one will stop people from making a fuss . I will wait for you here . ”
Zhuo Zhengfan nodded, but Wu Hui said in a coquettish tone, “Big Brother Yun, this place is so scary . The cell next to me has many crazy people . I don’t want to go . Why don’t you stay with me?”
Yun Xie calmly replied, “What are you saying? Stand further away . You’re not allowed to cry and fuss . I never said that I don’t beat women . Zhengfan, take her away . ”
Distracted by something on his mind, he appeared extraordinarily stately . Wu Hui was so taken aback, she didn’t dare to make any more noise and obediently followed Zhuo Zhengfan out . Yun Xie turned around, looked at Wu Tianqi for a moment, and smiled .
The candlelight outlined his beautiful and innocent facial features, and faced with that smile, Wu Tianqi couldn’t help feeling a hint of a chill . “Sect – Sect Master Yun, what are you doing?”
“Don’t be nervous, Master Wu, I am always kind to others, and I don’t like embarrassing others . I just wanted to take the liberty to ask something . Of course, if you don’t want to answer, it’s okay . ”
Wu Tianqi shivered and immediately said, “I will tell you all I know without reservation . ”

Yun Xie let out a huff . “I like people who are knowledgeable . Sect Leader Wu, I heard that your wife’s surname is Du . She is the aunt of Du Li, the current head of the Du family, right?”
Wu Tianqi’s expression was tense for a moment, but he quickly concealed it . “Sect Master Yun is right . ”
Yun Xie glanced at him, then calmly withdrew his gaze . He drawled, “Your families are close and frequently spend holidays together . There’s something I wanted to inquire: I heard that Du Heng, the youngest son of the Du family, is a fool . What was the ailment? Was he born with it or was it afflicted? How is his relationship with Du Li?
Wu Tianqi replied immediately, “So what Sect Master Yun wanted to ask was this . A’Heng was indeed born this way, not harmed by another . When he was sixteen or seventeen, he would only say the simplest words, looking pitiful . Since there was no threat, his elder brother has always been good to this younger brother . ”
Yun Xie spoke as if he heard something profound . “So it’s like that?”
He obviously didn’t reveal anything, so Wu Tianqi couldn’t help but stammer, “Y – yeah . “
Yun Xie laughed . “Don’t be scared . I was just surprised to see how excited you were to answer . Seems like you already knew I want to ask something like this . ”
Wu Tianqi quickly said, “Ha, isn’t this because A’Heng happened to be born with a very similar appearance to Hidden Spirit Sect’s Young Master Jiang . The Dual Jades of the Spirit Stage have a deep friendship, this I know . For Sect Master Yun to care about this matter is not strange, not strange . ”
After he finished this sentence, the smile on Yun Xie’s lips only deepened, and he immediately felt an ominous feeling . He only listened to the other party slowly saying, “Ah, you’re not surprised, but I’m a bit puzzled . Sect Master Wu is the uncle of Du Heng, it’s really impossible that you wouldn’t know that his appearance is exactly the same as Jiang Xunyi . But… then why did you not show any surprise when you first met A’Xun in Yuele City?”
Wu Tianqi was speechless, but at this moment, Zhuo Zhengfan’s voice drifted in . “Brother Yun, how are you here? My antidote has been distributed, should we set off? The situation is critical, so don’t delay too much . ”
Wu Tianqi was relieved, and when he saw that Yun Xie didn’t reply, only humming in response, he stood up and turned to leave .
“Master Wu!” Yun Xie’s voice rang out coldly, and he stood up . After Wu Tianqi’s footsteps were stopped, he grabbed his collar and pushed him into the wall .

“Zhengfan , wait for me at the door . ”
Wu Tianqi said in horror, “Sect…Sect Master Yun, what are you going to do? That’s all I know . Don’t tell me you are planning to kill someone?”
Yun Xie completely lost his patience, and he gritted his teeth . “Wu Tianqi, listen carefully . Jiang Xunyi is my brother, his business is mine, and so I asked you this today . I advise you to speak from beginning! To! End! If one day I find that you have lied, then I do not think Sect Master Wu can bear the consequences . ”
He finished speaking and, as if holding something back, took a deep breath . He slowly let go of his hand, and where his fingers had pressed, Wu Tianqi’s collar was fluttering in pieces from Yun Xie’s grip .
It is much harder to crush the cloth than to crush the stone . When Yun Xie let go, Wu Tianqi couldn’t help as his legs became weak . He fell to the floor and said with a trembled voice, “Sect Master Yun, it’s not that I don’t want to say it, it’s because I was cursed . Under the curse, I can’t say anything about this…”
Yun Xie glanced at him, and immediately pulled out a talisman with his left hand . “
Incompatibility to the bright world may not be unspoken . ” [1] Suddenly, several silver lights appeared in the air . The temperature around the two of them dropped rapidly, and the water vapor in the air was condensed into a piece of frost . Wu Tianqi was shaking because of the chill and had to curl up into a ball, but Yun Xie seemed to be unable to feel the low temperature at all .
He spoke indifferently, “Now you can talk . ”
Wu Tianqi gently tested the waters . “A’Heng is not actually a descendant of the Du family…”
After he said this, he found that he had not been hurt in any way . He immediately had enough courage to continue . “Originally, my sister-in-law… oh, that is, Madam Du, did give birth to a child, but the childbirth was difficult, and the mother died just after giving birth . Therefore, the child’s body was weak and he was sick all the time, and before he was twenty, he died… this current Du Heng was actually picked up by his brother, and the Xuehua [2] seal on his body was also branded on later . ”
“Branded on?”
Wu Tianqi nodded . “On the second day after the child died, before we had time to bury him, A’Li brought back a boy who looked exactly the same as A’Heng . But he didn’t expect that despite the boy’s handsome elegance, he was actually a fool . But at that time, A’Li was already the head of the family . He insisted on keeping the news of A’Heng’s death secret and wanted to raise the boy as a younger brother . We just took him to be excessively sad, and no one could persuade him, so we just let him do as he wished . But Sect Master Yun, you also know, A’Heng has looked very similar to Young Master Jiang of the Hidden Spirit Sect since he was a child . There is no one who does not know of the Dual Jades of the Spirit Stage, plus Young Master Jiang himself is also well known to be extremely clever . For one, Big Brother A’Li was ashamed, and secondly, he didn’t want to cause trouble, so he deliberately didn’t let him come out to meet strangers, which is why there was no news before . ”

Yun Xie pondered for a moment and confirmed again . “You said before that Du Li and Du Heng have a very good relationship . Is this true?”
Wu Tianqi felt like he was about to be frozen into a dog, and said with a sad expression, “It’s true, Sect Master Yun, if it wasn’t because I had no other choice, why would I lie to you?”
Yun Xie nodded, took out a veil from his arms, and opened it carefully . There was a silver needle inside — it was the one that was directed at Chen Li before it was intercepted by him . “Do you know this thing?”
Wu Tianqi shook his head .
Yun Xie looked at the needle tip that was still shining with blue light . He smiled and said, “Why don’t we pierce you?”
Some things didn’t need to be tried to know it is poisonous, okay! Wu Tianqi’s expression morphed in fright, and he shook his head repeatedly . “Sect Master Yun, please forgive me, I really haven’t seen it!”
Yun Xie stared at him, and after a long while, he took the silver needle back and waved his left hand around them . The ice and snow suddenly dispersed, the expression on his face slightly loosened, and he took two steps forward to help Wu Tianqi up . “Just kidding, don’t be afraid . Thank you Master Wu for telling me these things today . ”
Wu Tianqi shivered and stood on his own, hurriedly avoiding Yun Xie’s support . “I don’t dare, don’t dare . ”
When Zhuo Zhengfan saw the enchantment disperse, he immediately rushed over with Wu Hui . “Brother Yun, although the people outside were convinced to take the medicine, they still have some doubts and refuse to leave with me . You should come forward . ”
Yun Xie nodded, and walked out after Zhuo Zhengfan .
