Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 172: Kill the rebels on Tianqiong Peak, and learn the swordsmanship and leave a legacy

"Your mother is dead."

The brief and direct words reached Li Sushang's ears, leaving her unable to react. The ruthless tone made her heart hurt as if it were cut by a knife.

She was just thinking that as long as she learned sword skills successfully, no one in the world would be able to bully her and her mother, but now... where is her mother?

She really didn't want to believe what her master said, but her master had never lied to her and had never thought of lying to her.

"...Why?"

A questioning voice came out of Su Chang's mouth. The voice was not loud, but the people present heard it clearly.

But Cheng Lingshuang's expression remained the same, and she just shook her head slightly.

"I don't know. This is the news your Sixth Uncle brought over. Your mother's Yijian Villa was burned down. No one in the villa was left alive. They were all dead."

"..."

"Where's my mother?"

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

But Cheng Lingshuang still shook her head.

"Your mother's body was not found."

"Then my mother can't die!"

Li Suchang suddenly jumped up from the stool, her body shaking violently, but she still tried hard to hold back her tears.

"How could my mother die! I..."

"Su Shang..."

Jiang Ming seemed unwilling to watch any further, so he put his hand on her shoulder and spoke softly.

"In that case, if we want to see the person alive or dead, we should go to Yijian Villa and take a look. We will make a decision afterwards."

Li Suchang nodded immediately after hearing this, but Cheng Lingshuang stood in front of them and stopped them.

"No, you have no idea what you are about to face. Besides, if that person really did it, you two would have no chance of winning."

"Master, do you mean to say that the murderer has been found?"

Li Suchang immediately came to Cheng Lingshuang and questioned her, but she seemed unwilling to speak. But at this moment, Jiang Ming suddenly spoke.

"It's the Red Kite Immortal, right?"

“——?! How do you know that?”

The expression on Cheng Lingshuang's face changed for the first time. Otto obviously had something to say, but in the end he didn't say it.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming ignored the surprised looks of others and walked out the door with Li Suchang. Cheng Lingshuang did not stop him.

But Li Suchang kept pestering Jiang Ming and asking him questions.

"Uncle Master, what did you mean by that? Was it the Red Kite Immortal who killed my mother? But isn't the Red Kite no longer around? Why would she want to kill my mother?"

A series of questions rushed towards Jiang Ming like the sea, but he didn't say a word. He turned around to look at the girl behind him with tears in her eyes, and spoke word by word.

"Su Shang, the truth is often more cruel than reality, but I assure you that your mother will be fine. She is still alive and well. I went to Yijian Villa once before coming to Mobei."

Li Suchang was about to speak when she heard Jiang Ming's words, but was interrupted by Jiang Ming.

"Don't say anything yet. I know what you want to ask. I will tell you everything I know. Just listen quietly first."

Upon hearing this, Li Suchang had no choice but to nod silently. Seeing this, Jiang Ming explained to her while walking.

"My friend and I came to Shenzhou for only one purpose, which was to find the Red Kite Immortal. I accidentally got the news that the Red Kite Immortal did not ascend to heaven, but still stayed in the human world. As for why he has not appeared in the world for many years, I don't know."

"Then think about it carefully. How could the Red Kite Immortal, who is said to have saved the people from danger, kill your mother for no reason?"

"There must be a connection between these two. Listen to your uncle and don't let your imagination run wild until you find out the truth, okay? Nothing will happen to your mother."

"...Well, I understand, Uncle Master, I believe you."

Faced with Jiang Ming's consolation and repeated assurances, Li Suchang had no choice but to nod and agree. At this time, Cheng Lingshuang and Otto came out, and Ma Feima, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, also walked towards them.

"Hey..."

Just when Ma Fei Ma wanted to call them, the dusk turned completely dark, and the area within a thousand miles was almost completely dark.

Boom boom boom! ! !

In an instant, hundreds of white lightning roared and flashed in the sky, as if they were the only light in the world that could illuminate the world.

This sudden strange phenomenon in heaven and earth shocked everyone present, except Jiang Ming, who remained calm and protected Li Suchang beside him.

At this moment, everyone present was enveloped by a white light, and the next second they all disappeared from the spot without leaving a sound.

After they disappeared, the originally abnormal phenomena in the sky and earth gradually disappeared.

...................

Sky Dome Peak.

Everyone who was teleported here by a mysterious force could not help but look at each other. Otto and Li Suchang certainly didn't know where this was, but it was different for Ma Feimaco.

This is the location where the Taixu Sword School was founded by Taixu's first disciple Lin Chaoyu. Since Chi Yuan fell into a coma, she never returned to Taixu Mountain, this sad place. Instead, she built an original "Fuyun Temple" on the top of Tianqiong Peak according to her memory.

There, she and her sixth fellow apprentice Ma Feima announced the re-establishment of the Taixu Sword Sect of the former Chiyuan Immortal. The immortal's admirers flocked to the sect, and the new Taixu Sword Sect grew rapidly, soon becoming one of the six major sects in the martial arts world.

But why did they suddenly come here? They didn't have time to ask questions. A few white lights flashed again not far away. They quickly prepared for battle, but when they saw who was coming, they couldn't help but shrink their pupils.

Two of them looked similar, like sisters, but one of them was already gray-haired. But unlike Cheng Lingshuang, she looked depressed, and her eyes were a strange red, as if she had become a dead soldier...

Needless to say, the other two are Lin Chaoyu and Su Mei. Su Mei found Lin Chaoyu in order to unite the Seven Swords of Taixu again, but everything that happened at the moment made her frown.

The last one shocked them even more.

She looked 70% similar to Li Suchang. She was looking around with a confused and anxious expression. When she saw Li Suchang, she ran towards her and hugged her in her arms.

"Su Shang..."

"mother!?"

Li Sushang was overjoyed and shocked when she saw this. Her uncle did not lie to her. Her mother was not dead and was still alive and well!

"Mom, what happened? I heard from Master that you were dead."

Li Suchang asked anxiously, but Qin Suyi looked bitter at first, but the truth could not be hidden, so she had to explain to everyone present.

"I don't know what happened. After I set fire to Yi Xin Jian Manor, I wanted to hang myself, but suddenly a woman in a white robe saved me. I couldn't see her face clearly, but she said to me: 'You can't die here yet. Your sins have not been paid for, and your daughter will be sad because of this.' Then I fainted, and when I woke up, I came here."

After a brief exchange of information, everyone came to a conclusion.

"It must be that woman in white robe who used evil magic to bring us here..."

"But why would she do this?"

Just when they were at a loss, the Red Kite Immortal suddenly appeared in front of them.

Her expression was calm as usual, as if she didn't care at all about what was happening, as if she was completely unaware of it, and as if she thought it was natural.

However, the Seven Swordsmen of Taixu present seemed to be facing a formidable enemy and quickly summoned their Xuanyuan Swords to confront Chiyuan. But before either side could make a move, Jiang Ming in a black robe stood in front of everyone.

"Uncle Master!"

"No problem."

Facing Li Suchang's anxious shouts, Jiang Ming simply waved his hand and signaled the other party not to worry. He slowly walked forward, only two meters away from the Red Kite Immortal, and looked at her carefully.

The blue and white robe matched her blue eyes perfectly. Her messy hair, which was not tied up, fell down vertically and was almost long enough to touch the ground. Her aura of keeping strangers away truly made her look like an immortal in the legend.

"Squad leader..."

Jiang Ming suddenly spoke.

"Red Kite Immortal, do you still remember me?"

“…I don’t remember.”

"Yeah... that's right. After all, I'm wearing a robe, so it's normal that you can't recognize me."

As if to ease the tension, Jiang Ming made an inappropriate joke, and then he continued to ask.

"Did the Immortal come here to call for justice, or just for a reason?"

"..."

Chi Yuan was silent for a moment, but quickly answered.

"One reason, and... [Xuan-Yuan Sword]"

"Well, that's something you gave them, and you should take it back."

Jiang Ming nodded slightly.

"I understand everything, but next... I want to talk to you alone, I hope you won't refuse."

"What......?"

Jiang Ming snapped his fingers, and the next second, he and Chi Yuan both disappeared from the spot.

The Seven Swords of Taixu looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this, but before they could make the next move, a powerful pressure pressed them all to the ground and made them kneel. Even Cheng Lingshuang, who was the number one person under the Red Kite Immortal, was no exception. Only Li Suchang and Qin Suyi were not affected and stayed where they were, at a loss as to what to do.

"Ugh!!"

"Uncle Master? What happened?"

"Don't panic, this is what you deserve."

An abrupt female voice came from in front of the crowd. A woman in a white robe, whose appearance could not be seen clearly, came in front of them at some point and spoke as if she was telling them about a sin.

"The Seven Swords of Taixu were saved and adopted by Chi Yuan. Instead of repaying the favor, they teamed up to kill their master. They should be punished!"

"Lin Chaoyu, Chi Yuan's first disciple, believed Su Mei's instigation and participated in the murder of his master - dead."

As the man in white robe finished speaking, dozens of sharp ice spikes instantly pierced through the old Taixu disciple. As if she was annoyed, she did not let Lin Chaoyu make any sound, and the splattered blood only remained on the ice spikes.

This was enough to scare the remaining six people! Li Sushang and Qin Suyi subconsciously wanted to help or plead, but found that they were also unable to move.

The voice without any emotion in the white robe continued to come.

"Chi Yuan's third disciple Jiang Wanxi killed his master because his sister was possessed by a demon. The fourth disciple Jiang Wanru was also possessed by a demon. Chi Yuan saved your lives, but he repaid you with evil - he died."

Once again, two white lightning bolts struck the two of them, the ground instantly shattered, forming two small pits, and their weak bodies were instantly blasted into pieces.

The white robed man did not blink as he continued to pass judgment.

"Su Mei, Chi Yuan's second disciple, is a bastard and the mastermind behind the murder of his master. He held a grudge against Chi Yuan because his parents, who had gone astray, were killed by him. He teamed up with the Seven Swords to murder their master and thought he had a sure win, but he was actually a clown - die."

A strange black mist appeared above Su Mei, and in the next second, it instantly enveloped Su Mei. Starting from her face, her originally charming body was gradually corroded into bones, and finally her limbs, torso, and all the organs in her body...

During this process, she couldn't even scream and could only endure it silently.

The white robe looked disdainful and continued.

"The sixth disciple of Chiyuan is Ma Feima. He married Lin Chaoyu and had an affair with Su Mei. These were just orders from Su Mei, haha."

The man in white robe waved his fingers, and Ma Feima's limbs were instantly cut off by the unclear sword energy. But this was not the end, Ma Feima's seven-foot body was also split into two!
