Chapter 71: Emperor Yang Tells a Story, the Dao Sect’s Deceased White Moonlight!

From the magnificent Dao Sect’s boundary gate, spirit boats flew out one after another, and rays of Magic Treasure light surged forth one by one. They were orderly, transforming into myriad streams of light, heading to various parts of Qian Heavenly Province and Xuankun Province to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, upholding Qiankun.

Above the azure sky, a silver flash of lightning streaked by, stopping before the Dao Sect’s boundary gate.

Gu Shengge saw all the Dao Sect Disciples mobilized and felt puzzled. In his more than ten years in the Sect, this was the first time he had seen such a large-scale deployment of personnel by the Sect.

Could it be that a Sect war was about to begin?

Gu Shengge casually stopped a Disciple. The Disciple, seeing that it was the Daozi himself, quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

“Li Xiao, Disciple of Yunlin Peak, greets the Daozi.”

Gu Shengge nodded slightly: “Hmm, why has the Sect mobilized so many Disciples? Has something happened?”

“Replying to the Daozi, recently Cultivators from the Demonic Path in the Tianmo Domain have invaded Qiankun Double States, causing havoc in Ling Province. The Sect Master issued a demon-slaying order not long ago, dispatching us Disciples to Qiankun Double States to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, upholding Qiankun.”

Li Xiao spoke without reservation. After listening, Gu Shengge waved his hand and bestowed a Talisman Treasure upon him, while also instructing:

“Go. This Talisman Treasure can withstand three attacks from Cultivators below Nascent Soul. If you encounter an unmatchable Cultivator, do not act recklessly. Retreat cautiously and wait for another day.”

Li Xiao did not expect that merely being questioned would result in being bestowed a treasure by the Daozi. His face lit up with joy, and he quickly put away the Talisman Treasure, nodding repeatedly: “Many thanks, Daozi, for bestowing this treasure!”

The other Disciples, seeing this scene, all showed expressions of envy.

Why didn't they have such good luck?

Gu Shengge once again transformed into a silver lightning bolt, passing through the Dao Sect’s boundary gate and returning to the Qiankun Taoist Sect.

Due to the issuance of the demon-slaying order, most Disciples and Elders had left the Dao Sect, except for a few newly admitted Disciples whose cultivation was still low.

The silver lightning bolt landed on Daozi Peak. Gu Shengge originally wanted to see how Tantai Qingxuan’s re-cultivation was progressing, but seeing that she was still in closed-door cultivation, he did not disturb her further and turned to head for Tiangan Mountain.

General re-cultivation Cultivation Techniques and Dao scriptures require dispelling one’s cultivation and cultivating anew.

However, fortunately, the Supreme Affection Dao Scripture evolved from the Supreme Forgotten Love Dao Scripture, sharing the same origin. Tantai Qingxuan did not have to endure the suffering of dispelling her cultivation, only requiring a certain period for re-cultivation.

As for how long it would take, that was unclear.

Tiangan Mountain, Sect Leader Hall.

Emperor Yang was flipping through the intelligence he had gathered on Chi Hao and his son. In fact, he had long suspected the whereabouts of Chi Hao and his son over the years, but had been unable to confirm it.

Now that Chi Yunxiao had voluntarily revealed himself, Emperor Yang naturally would not let him go.

Even if it meant using the entire Sect’s power, he would suppress and eliminate them!

“Chi Hao, Chi Yunxiao…”

Upon mentioning these two names, a hint of hatred appeared in Emperor Yang’s eyes. Everything from seven hundred years ago remained unforgettable to him.

Originally, with his Aptitude, even if he were entangled in Sect affairs, he should have long since passed the Yin God Tribulation. But he had concerns and had been reluctant to take that step.

Only by eliminating Chi Hao and his son and avenging himself would Emperor Yang dare to take that step.

Rumble!!!

Suddenly, thunder rumbled, and Gu Shengge’s figure appeared inside the hall.

Emperor Yang, seeing his arrival, showed surprise. He put down the Jade Slip in his hand and smiled: “Gu, Kid, you’re finally back. I was thinking if you didn’t return soon, I would go to the Trial Grounds to find you.”

Hearing this, Gu Shengge cupped his hands and bowed to Emperor Yang, apologizing: “My apologies, Uncle Mu, Elder Xi she…”

Emperor Yang shook his head, raising a hand to lift Gu Shengge with a surge of power. He opened his mouth to comfort him:

“Alas~ I already know about her matter. This was her own choice, and it has nothing to do with you.”

The death of Xi Luoyao had been revealed to him by all eight returning Disciples through the Remembrance Mirror. In no way could Gu Shengge be blamed, and he had no need to feel apologetic.

“Gu, Kid, do you want to hear a story from me? Of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t tell it.”

Emperor Yang smiled, wanting to tell Gu Shengge about the past seven hundred years. The reason why Xi Luoyao was so persistent about a bowl of white porridge laced with remembrance dream flower lay within that story.

If he had drunk that bowl of porridge and thought of Xi Luoyao’s Senior Sister, perhaps he too would have been just as persistent.

Gu Shengge nodded. He was actually very curious about the dark period seven hundred years ago.

“Eight hundred seventy-three years ago, I was just a newly admitted Disciple of the Dao Sect. At that time, the Dao Sect was still under the rule of the Chi Clan. Relying on being descendants of one of the Dao Sect’s two great Ancestral Masters, they monopolized Sect power, acting wantonly within the Sect, throwing the Dao Sect into utter chaos, even worse than Demonic Path Sects… …”

Emperor Yang slowly began to speak, from his perspective as a Disciple, recounting the Dao Sect’s past darkness from the time he joined.

At that time, the Dao Sect was not as harmonious as it is now. The internal affairs of the Sect were even more chaotic than those of the Demonic Path. Any Disciple who was not from the Chi Clan or had not affiliated with the Chi Clan would be suppressed.

Male Disciples struggled to advance, and female Disciples suffered even more than death.

Chi Hao and his son established a Heavenly Immortal Tower within the Dao Sect, taking in all beautiful women from the Sect to be played with and enjoyed by them.

Later, in order to more thoroughly control the Dao Sect, Chi Hao and his son even planted Taoist Gu in the bodies of all Disciples. If any Disciple resisted them, they would activate the Taoist Gu, torturing them to death.

Moreover, Chi Hao and his son controlled the Taoist Gu very strictly. The death of any single Taoist Gu would attract their attention, and they would send people to investigate thoroughly.

“I was also implanted with Taoist Gu back then. That taste was truly unbearable…”

Mentioning the Taoist Gu, Emperor Yang couldn’t help but sigh. It was a complete control; once a thought of dissatisfaction with Chi Hao and his son appeared in their minds, the Taoist Gu would torment them, making them wish for death.

But there was one person, she endured the torment of the Taoist Gu, humbled herself under Chi Hao and his son, and played a crucial role in liberating the Dao Sect.

“Who is ‘she’?” Gu Shengge keenly noticed that Emperor Yang used the female pronoun ‘she’ instead of the male ‘he’.

Emperor Yang’s eyes filled with reminiscence, and he said softly: “She is Xi Luoyao’s Senior Sister, Le Yao, and also the savior of the Dao Sect.”

“Le Yao was originally a Disciple of a Soul Transformation Celestial Being in the Dao Sect. Unfortunately, that Soul Transformation Celestial Being was secretly harmed by Chi Hao and his son, and she was also defiled by Chi Yunxiao, becoming a plaything for Chi Hao and his son.”

“But she did not give up. She endured the torment of the Taoist Gu, deliberately flattered Chi Hao and his son, and slowly gained their trust, obtaining the method to remove the Taoist Gu. But in order not to arouse the suspicion of Chi Hao and his son, she did not remove the Taoist Gu from her own body, continuing to endure the torment… …”

As he spoke, Emperor Yang’s eyes turned red, and tears welled up.

He would never forget that more than seven hundred years ago, while he was enduring the torment of the Taoist Gu, he welcomed a Fairy who would be etched in his memory for life.

She wasn’t wearing white clothes, nor was she dressed very exquisitely. In fact, she even had bruises and scars on her body, her face was pale, and there were traces of blood at the corners of her mouth.

“Is it very painful? It’s alright, you won’t be in pain soon…”

That Fairy, covered in wounds, used her own essence blood as a guide to lure out his Taoist Gu, allowing it to burrow into her body, enduring pain unimaginable to ordinary people.

At that time, Emperor Yang couldn’t imagine that a single Taoist Gu was enough to drive a person mad. And for Le Yao to feed herself to the Gu, how much willpower must she have had, and how much pain did she endure!

That night, the ragged Fairy was more dazzling and purer than the bright moonlight. To this day, he has never forgotten her.
