Chapter 33 The Real Daughter is in the Snake Cave
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, two bright red drops of blood merged together, bursting forth with a dazzling red light. Then, the red light split in two and flew towards Qingxuzi and Yin Pipa.
A red glow was imprinted on their hearts, leaving a pattern composed of lines, resembling a human figure, which was a symbol of blood ties.
Looking at the red pattern, Yin Pipa could hardly contain her excitement.
With the powerful proof of the blood test, no one will question her identity. She will rightfully replace Song Li and become the daughter of the sect leader.
Qingxuzi looked at Yin Pipa, his eyes softening. He flashed to her side and said gently, "Child, you've worked hard."
He could imagine how painful it would be for her when she discovered that the keepsake had been stolen and that her friend was going to impersonate her.
But she did not wallow in self-pity. She traveled all the way to Wendao Sect, and through the Spirit Testing Conference, she met herself and laid out the truth in front of everyone.
Her bravery, wit, and intelligence were exactly like those of Wen Niang.
Yin Pipa shook her head: "I'm not tired, my mother is the one who's been ...
Qingxuzi's eyes dimmed slightly. He raised his hand to stroke her head, but she turned away. Seeing this, Qingxuzi helplessly withdrew his hand. His daughter was angry, and he couldn't force her.
Qingxuzi looked at Cen Xiaoyun with no emotion in his eyes, as if he were looking at a stranger, and asked indifferently, "Do you have anything else to say?"
At the same time, an aura locked onto Cen Xiaoyun's body.
It's murderous intent!
Cen Xiaoyun felt a chill run down her spine and trembled as she pleaded with Yin Pipa, "Sister Song Li, I was wrong, please help me! I didn't mean to do it, I just acted impulsively, please save me!"
Yin Pipa raised her hand and pulled the concentric pearl necklace around Xiaoyun's neck into her palm. Then, seemingly reluctant, she pleaded with Qingxuzi, "Sect Leader, Xiaoyun just accidentally went astray. I think she can turn over a new leaf."
Sect Leader...
Won't you call me father even once?
Qingxuzi felt a pang of pain at the title, but said calmly, "Then I will do as you say. You know what to do, and I won't interfere further."
It's done.
Yin Pipa felt relieved. Fortunately, Qingxuzi was not the kind of person who was stubborn and inflexible. If he had insisted on killing Cen Xiaoyun to vent his anger, Cen Xiaoyun would have definitely exposed her secrets and dragged her down with him.
She had previously avoided Qingxuzi's intimate gestures because the time was not right. Once they developed some father-daughter affection, it would be time for her to change her tune.
This tactic is a classic case of feigning indifference to lure the prey into a trap.
The results look pretty good.
Just when everyone thought the show was about to end, Lou Yuqing's inner voice exploded with a sharp sound.
[Ahhh, Sect Leader! Those two aren't the real or fake heiresses; they're both fake! The real heiresses were thrown into the snake pit by them!]
[The blood test method was tampered with by Yin Pipa; she used Song Li's heart blood, which is why the result showed a blood relationship!]
Everyone was shocked.
They were now completely convinced of Lou Yuqing's true feelings.
These two are imposters!
They instinctively looked at the sect leader, only to see an unprecedented rage flash across his face, instantly shattering his refined and peaceful facade: "You scoundrel, how dare you!"
His angry shouts, like a torrent, rolled into the two women's ears.
Cen Xiaoyun's body, which had just relaxed, tensed up again. She felt an unprecedented killing intent enveloping her, wanting to kill her.
what happened?
Why did Qingxuzi suddenly become furious?
The same question arose in Yin Pipa's mind. Like Cen Xiaoyun, she was crushed to the ground by this fierce pressure, her limbs trembling uncontrollably.
So disheveled, so undignified...
Yin Pipa was both surprised and frightened. She turned her head with difficulty to look at Qing Xuzi, whose anger was undisguised and seemed to be about to soar into the sky.
Moreover, this anger was clearly directed at the two of them!
Apart from them, everyone else was standing perfectly fine.
Qingxuzi and Yin Pipa exchanged glances. Qingxuzi recalled the love-bin from her hand and laughed angrily, "You two are truly skilled, challenging my limits time and time again!"
He treated them gently, thinking they were his daughters, but little did he know that they would be so audacious as to impersonate his daughters and deceive him.
What's even more ridiculous is that he actually believed it.
The thought of his real daughter being thrown into the snake pit by these two people, her fate unknown, filled Qingxuzi with rage, and he wished he could kill them on the spot.
Elder Kui Tu and the others looked at Qing Xuzi, thinking to themselves that their sect leader had been thoroughly enraged.
It's been a long time since I've seen my sect leader truly enraged. The last time was probably more than fifty years ago, when the demonic sects invaded various cities.
They could understand the sect leader. An ordinary person would want to kill them after being deceived so many times, let alone the sect leader.
How could they possibly bear the wrath of a Nascent Soul expert?
Cen Xiaoyun and Yin Pipa wanted to beg for mercy, but the oppressive power forced them to prostrate on the ground, unable to utter a sound, and they could only let Qing Xuzi's anger pour over them.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!"
Two large mouthfuls of blood spurted out, splattering onto the square's paving stones.
Seeing that the two were barely breathing and on the verge of death, Qingxuzi withdrew his oppressive aura and coldly questioned, "Where is my daughter? Tell me the truth!"
Yin Pipa's lips twitched, her smile unpleasant.
As expected, they saw through it.
Before this, his attitude towards her was clearly so kind that it could even be described as cautious, with no sign of him causing any trouble.
This unexpected turn of events caught her completely off guard.
[As expected of the sect leader, he saw through the thief's lies!]
Qingxuzi: "..." I feel ashamed.
In fact, he didn't notice it at all.
Why are these two so stubborn? They won't tell us where Song Li is; it'll make their deaths easier that way.
Lou Yuqing looked through the addresses provided by the gossip system, her face showing anxiety.
Just moments before, when she realized that Yin Pipa was an imposter, the system popped up a message containing the whole story of the real and fake heiress.
So, even without having enough gossip to gossip about, she learned the cause and course of events, and after reading the whole story, she was already extremely angry.
[Let's skip Yin Pipa, since she's not familiar with Song Li.]
But Cen Xiaoyun is different. She and Song Li are sworn sisters, having gone through countless trials and tribulations together, and are already inseparable.
However, while fleeing with Song Li to escape the pursuit and heading towards the Nanling Mountains, she conspired with Yin Pipa, who was lying in ambush, to rob Song Li of his belongings and push him into the Minshan Snake Cave.
Do you know how many snakes were there? The entire cave was teeming with them; going in meant certain death. How could you bring yourself to do it?!
Following Lou Yuqing's thoughts, everyone seemed to see a girl in the snake pit, her face full of despair, surrounded by thousands of snakes.
The girl struggled upwards, but her whole body was constricted by the snakes, which pulled her into a sea of snakes, where hissing sounds filled the air.
Those eyes, burning with fierce flames, looked at the culprit, then vanished in a flash among the myriad snakes, perhaps leaving no trace, perhaps with no place to be buried...
No, it's not imagination!
Everyone stared at the enormous screen above Lou Yuqing's head, utterly shocked, their lips trembling.
They actually saw the scene Lou Yuqing described, so vividly, as if it were happening right in front of them!
However, they knew that this must have involved some kind of backtracking technique.
Lou Yuqing didn't notice the awe-inspiring looks in everyone's eyes. She just silently watched the audio-visual presentation played by the system. The text was infuriating enough, but the video made it even more infuriating.
"How could there be such a person!" she cursed.
Suppressing her volcanic emotions, Si Nidie gritted her teeth and said, "They dared to treat our sect leader like a fool. We disciples of the Wendao Sect cannot let them get away with this!"
An atmosphere that could ignite at any moment gathered and enveloped everyone's hearts.
Qingxuzi stared at the scene with bloodshot eyes, his heart suddenly aching. It was her, his daughter! Those eyes, filled with extreme anger, made it hard for him to breathe.
His daughter was pushed into a snake pit, and he almost mistook the thief for his daughter!
Qingxuzi's eyes were bloodshot: "You deserve to die!"
A furious aura swept out, lashing out fiercely at Cen Xiaoyun and Yin Pipa. The two women offered no resistance and coughed up blood mixed with fragments of their internal organs.
But this did not quell Qingxuzi's anger. The thought of his daughter dying in the snake pit made him want to kill her.
Lady Wen, Lady Wen!
I failed to protect our daughter!
With a wave of his sleeve, Qingxuzi unleashed a torrent of violent spiritual energy, which surged toward Cen Xiaoyun and Yin Pipa with overwhelming force, intent on crushing them into dust.
Yin Pipa watched helplessly as the attack magnified before her eyes. For the first time, she truly felt how vast the difference in cultivation levels could be.
The other party could kill her with just a flick of their little finger.
Was she wrong?
No, she did nothing wrong!
As she faced death, Yin Pipa's fear vanished completely. She thought that if she had another chance, she would still do the same thing.
Cen Xiaoyun was unwilling to accept it, because she had once possessed it, so this unwillingness was particularly strong. If Yin Pipa hadn't suddenly appeared, she would have been the real Song Li!
When they were being hunted down, Aunt Wen lured away the powerful enemy, giving her and Song Li a chance to survive. She was not ungrateful, but she knew even better that the enemy's target was them, not her.
Why would she hang herself on a tree?
Although Aunt Wen treated her very well, and Song Li was also nice to her, but! But she was going to lose her life!
She took Aunt Wen as her godmother and Song Li as her elder sister, intending to improve her cultivation; she had no intention of risking her life.
Moreover, they weren't that good to her. Aunt Wen said that she would have everything that Song Li had, but she clearly saw that Aunt Wen was secretly subsidizing Song Li.
Children who aren't biologically related receive vastly different treatment.
She had far fewer items in her storage bag than Song Li. If she were to separate from Song Li, she might not have enough cultivation resources in the future.
That won't do!
Cen Xiaoyun convinced herself and called on Yin Pipa to set a trap to steal Song Li's storage bag, since the other party had the cultivation of a Golden Core cultivator, which was beyond the capabilities of the two of them.
Yin Pipa attracted the venomous snakes from the Minshan Snake Cave. She pretended to be defeated and was bitten. Song Li believed her and rushed forward with his sword, protecting her completely.
Although the venomous snakes were not particularly powerful, their numbers were vast. Over time, Song Li became exhausted and unable to cope.
With a little trickery, Cen Xiaoyun got Song Li to drink a spiritual liquid that was supposedly to replenish spiritual power but actually sealed her cultivation, and successfully obtained Song Li's storage bag.
This was her plan; she never intended to kill Song Li.
But at that moment, Yin Pipa grabbed her hand and pushed her forward, causing Song Li to fall into the snake pit. She watched as Song Li's figure was swallowed by the sea of snakes, and looked into those eyes burning with rage.
Cen Xiaoyun just stared at it, without moving.
She questioned Yin Pipa about why she did this.
Yin Pipa laughed and said, "Then why didn't you save Song Li?"
Yes, why is that?
Cen Xiaoyun thought that she couldn't save them. She was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could she go down into the snake pit? It was all Yin Pipa's fault. The other party wanted to kill her to silence her, and it had nothing to do with her.
That's right, that's the truth.
Yin Pipa is ruthless and cruel. She ruined Song Li, and now she's ruining her too. It's all Yin Pipa's fault. If it weren't for this woman, she and Song Li would still be good sisters!
Cen Xiaoyun glared at Yin Pipa with resentment, as if she wanted to punch a hole in her.
Qingxuzi looked at their expressions and sneered repeatedly.
Even facing death, they still show no remorse!
Let them all be buried with their daughter!
A frenzied attack rained down on the two, leaving them no way to escape. Suddenly, an invisible barrier appeared before them, dissolving Qingxuzi's spiritual power like a gentle spring breeze.
"Uncle-Master Zixiao?"
Qingxuzi looked at Gu Bugai in astonishment.
Gu Bugai shook his head almost imperceptibly and transmitted his voice, "Spare their lives for now. You are the sect leader of Wendao Sect, do not let emotions control your mind."
Qingxuzi suddenly came to his senses and looked at the frightened disciples in the square. He knew that he had made a grave mistake and should not have lost his composure in front of his disciples: "I will follow your teachings, Uncle-Master."
The disciples breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their sect leader calm down. For a moment, they had thought they were going to be torn to pieces by the enraged sect leader, just like them.
