[R18] The Patriarch of the Demonic Way (newly revised version) – “The Patriarch of the Demonic Way (Newly Revised Edition)” Chapter 85 [English]

Chapter 85 Loyalty Nineteen 7

Before entering the gate of Lotus Pier, Wei Wuxian took a deep breath to calm his mind.But after entering the door, he was not as excited as he imagined.

Maybe it’s because so many places have been renovated.The school grounds have tripled in size, and new buildings with high and low eaves are now more imposing and glorious than before.However, compared with what he remembered about Lotus Pier, it was almost unrecognizable.

Wei Wuxian felt disappointed.Those old houses in the past were blocked by these gorgeous new buildings or have been demolished.

After all, they are really too old.

On the school grounds, students from various schools began to form a square formation again, sit cross-legged and meditate, continue to cultivate and restore their spiritual power.After working hard for almost a day and a night, these people were extremely exhausted and needed to take a breather.Jiang Cheng led all the family heads and dignitaries into the hall to test the sword hall and discuss today’s matters.Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji came in soon after. Some people felt something was wrong, but they couldn’t say anything.

As soon as I entered the inner hall and before I could sit down, a person who looked like a guest came up to me and said, “Sect Master.”

He came close to Jiang Cheng’s ear and whispered a few words. Jiang Cheng frowned and said, “No. I’ll talk about it later. Didn’t you see what the situation is now?”

The guest said, “I have said it before, but those two women said… they are here just for today’s events.”

Jiang Cheng asked, “Who is this person from? Which female cultivator is she from?”

The guest said: “They are not from any family, nor are they female cultivators. I can be sure that they are all ordinary women without spiritual power. They all arrived today. They also brought a batch of precious medicinal materials, but they did not say which family leader sent them. They only said that they had something important to tell the sect leader. I heard what they said is not trivial, and I am afraid of being neglected. Now I will send herWe are staying in a guest house, and the medicinal materials have not been checked yet, and there are no inappropriate spells.”

It was not the family head of the Yunmeng Jiang family who saw them, and they refused to tell them their origins. Moreover, they were two ordinary women with no spiritual power and no family background.However, after bringing a batch of precious medicinal materials, the guest in charge of the reception would not dare to neglect it. Even if he did not value the courtesy, he could not ignore the strangeness of Dan Chong.Jiang Cheng said, “Everyone, please sit wherever you like. I’ll allow Jiang to be with you for a moment, and I’ll come back as soon as I can.”

Everyone said one after another: “Sect Master Jiang, you’re welcome.”

However, Jiang Cheng did not go back immediately, but did not return for a long time.It is rude to ignore someone in the house, not to mention that it is still an extraordinary situation and everyone is waiting to discuss important matters.After half an hour, Jiang Cheng still hadn’t appeared, and many people began to feel uneasy or dissatisfied.At this moment, Jiang Cheng finally came back.When he left, his expression was normal, but when he returned, he looked cold and solemn, walked swiftly, and brought two people with him, two women, who should be the two people who came to visit.Everyone originally thought that even if they were two ordinary women, it would be extraordinary to visit them with heavy gifts. Unexpectedly, these two women were already very old. Every detail in the corners of their eyes and mouth showed their age. One of them had a low eyebrow and was apprehensive, while the other was full of fear.Not to mention his body and dust, his face was slashed five or six times. The knife marks were old and terrifying. It was really off-putting and disappointing. He began to mutter in his heart, why did Jiang Cheng bring these two women to the Sword Testing Hall, and also gave them to him?They pointed to the center of the hall.

Jiang Cheng looked gloomy and said to the two women who sat down timidly, “You guys are talking here.”

Sect Master Yao said: “Sect Master Jiang, what are you doing?”

Jiang Cheng said: “This matter is too shocking. Jiang did not dare to rush into questioning in detail, so he delayed some time. Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what these two have to say.” He turned around and said, “Which one of you will speak first?”

The two women looked at each other in confusion. The woman with a dusty air was bolder and stood up and said, “I’ll do it first!”

She bowed casually and said, “What I want to talk about is an old thing that happened about eleven years ago.”

From Jiang Cheng’s tone, everyone knew that what this woman was going to say was definitely not an insignificant matter, and they all secretly thought about what happened eleven years ago.The woman said: “My name is Sisi. I was originally in the flesh business. I have been popular for a while. More than ten years ago, I found a wealthy businessman and wanted to marry her. Unexpectedly, the wealthy businessman’s wife was a powerful woman. She found a group of big men and slashed my face with a knife, and I became like this.”

This woman spoke without any shame or mincing words. Some female cultivators raised their sleeves to cover their mouths and some male cultivators frowned.Sisi said: “My face has become like this, and life is different from before. No one wants to take a look at it, let alone do my business. The old restaurant kicked me out. I don’t know how to do anything else, but I can’t get any work anywhere, so I work with those elderly sisters. Their customers are not very demanding. If they give me a job, I can make do with covering my face.”

Speaking of this, some people couldn’t stand it anymore, and the disdain in their eyes was clearly revealed. Some people didn’t understand why Jiang Cheng wanted everyone to listen to this woman say such scandalous things in public.The family heads calmed down and waited for her to continue.Sure enough, she got to the point.Sisi said: “One day, our sisters in the same alley suddenly received a business deal. They hired more than 20 of us and took us to a place in a carriage. My old sisters agreed on the payment and were very happy in the car. But I felt something was wrong. To be honest,To put it bluntly, everyone is either old and sallow, or they are like me. Paying so much money, or paying it in advance, is it so cheap in the world?Moreover, the people who come to us are mysterious and sneaky, and they just take the car with them when they come, without letting others know.He doesn’t seem to have any good intentions no matter how he looks at it!”

Others thought the same, and their original disdain had been replaced by curiosity. They thought: “When the carriage arrived, we were taken directly into a yard and got off. None of us had ever seen such a tall, big, and splendid house. We were all blinded by the shock and did not dare to vent our anger. There was a young man leaning against the door playing with a dagger. When he saw us, he let us in, heI closed the door and entered the house. There were only two people in the big room. There was a man lying on a big bed. He looked to be in his thirties or forty years old. He seemed to be half-dead from illness. When he saw someone coming in, he could only move his eyes.”

“Ah!”

In the sword test hall, someone suddenly screamed in realization: “Eleven years ago?! This is… this is…!!!”

Sisi said: “Someone told us what to do beforehand. We just used our housekeeping skills to serve the people lying on the bed inside one by one without stopping for a moment. I thought he was such a powerful man, but I didn’t expect that he was a sick man. How can this person stand up to being served? I’m afraid he will die after just two servings. How can he be so impatient? And heIf we are so rich, we must not be able to afford young and beautiful people. Why do we have to invite old and ugly people like us?I climbed on top of him and was still thinking about this. Suddenly, a young man seemed to laugh. I was startled, and then I realized that there was a curtain beside the bed, and there was someone sitting behind the curtain!”

Everyone’s hearts were tightly held, and Sisi continued: “I just realized that this person had been sitting behind the curtain. When he smiled, the man on the bed suddenly struggled, lifted me off, and rolled out of the bed. The man laughed even harder and talked while laughing. He said, Father, I found you the woman you love most. There are many of them. Are you happy?”

Although this sentence came out of Sisi’s mouth, everyone’s hearts stood on end, and a smiling face appeared.

Jin Guangyao!

And the half-dead man on the bed must be Jin Guangshan!

Jin Guangshan’s death has always been an open secret among the families.Jin Guangshan’s life was so romantic that it was almost obscene. He was merciful and reserved. The cause of his death was also related to this. The dignified head of the Jin family in Lanling insisted on having fun with women even when his body was weak. He finally died of a stroke.This is really not very decent to say.After Mrs. Jin lost her only son and daughter-in-law, she had been depressed for several years. She thought her husband was still fooling around before his death, and she eventually lost her life. She was so angry that she fell ill, and passed away soon after.The Lanling Jin family tried to cover up the rumors, but everyone in the family had already tacitly understood it.On the surface, he looked sad, but in fact, he felt that he deserved to die like this.Unexpectedly, today, they heard an even more unpleasant and extremely ugly truth.The sound of gasps echoed one after another in the sword testing hall.

Sisi said: “The middle-aged man wanted to struggle, but he had no strength. The young man who led us in just opened the door again and came in. He was laughing and dragging him onto the bed. He took a rope, stepped on his head and tied him up. He said to us, continue, even if heDon’t stop even if you’re dead.We were scared to death, but we didn’t dare to disobey, so we had to continue.At the twelfth or eleventh hour, the sister suddenly screamed, “He’s really dead.”But the man behind the curtain said, “Don’t stop even if you’re dead!”

Sect Master Ouyang couldn’t help but said: “No matter what you say, Jin Guangshan is also his biological father. If this matter is true… this is too… too…”

Sisi said: “As soon as I saw that this man was dead, I knew it was over, and we definitely couldn’t escape. Sure enough, after it was over, all my more than 20 old sisters were killed, not a single one was left alive…”

Wei WuXian asked, “Then why did you alone stay?”

Sisi said: “I don’t know! I begged and said that I didn’t want the money, and I would never tell anyone. Who knew they really didn’t kill me, but took me to a residence and locked me up for eleven years. I was rescued by chance recently and escaped.”

Wei Wuxian asked, “Who saved you?”

Sisi said: “I don’t know, and I have never directly met the person who saved me. But after hearing what happened to me, the benefactor decided that he did not want to let this sanctimonious villain continue to deceive everyone. Even if he is now covering the sky with one hand, he will still reveal everything he has done, seek justice for those who were harmed by him, and let my more than twenty poor sisters rest in peace.”
