Chapter 744: 14.20 Last Violet Star – Chun Hongyun’s Arrival
Jin Baihua was gritting his teeth upon the failure of his schemes. Though a rift was made between Bai Qiyun and Yun Huaxia, an estrangement appeared between him and Yun Huaxia as well.
“Tsk! I might have overdone it just now,” mumbled Jin Baihua.
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice spoke out criticizing Jin Baihua. It was Hong Longqing, the Crown Prince of the Long dynasty.
Hong Longqing spoke, “Not only you’ve overstepped. You’ve almost shown your real face to the Sect Master of (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect. He might avoid you now. Serves you right though!”
Snort!
Jin Baihua rolled his eyes at the crown prince behind him.
“I do not think my business is for his highness to care about.”????e??????????o??e??. c????
…..
“Of course! This Benwang (This imperial son) doesn’t care about your boring business. It’s just that it is annoying to see harem-like schemes outside the palace. Benwang is annoyed, that’s all. You should stop now since there is an emergency situation,” said Hong Longqing as he walked past Jin Baihua.
For this crown prince, any illegitimate children don’t have the standing to stand before him. If not because Jin Baihua is currently the Sect Master of the Jin Tiangui Sect, that this crown prince would even waste his time on him.
Jin Baihua could see that disdain on the crown prince’s face and was angered by it. He had always hated the legitimate children who looked down on someone of his standing.
“Bastards who got everything from birth. You should all die except for Huaxia-gege!” whispered Jin Baihua before following the rest inside.

After getting treated by Hei Anjing, Lu Yi woke up at dawn. He could still feel the frost all over his body but there wasn’t any more pain spreading from his skin. Lu Er was delighted to see his elder brother wake up and tell him everything about the mysterious man who saved him. He also told him about his theory that this veiled man must be Brother Bai who had died more than ten years ago. A Brother Bai without any memories of his past life as Bai Wuan.
Yun Huaxia on the other hand was delighted to see his sworn brother alive and breathing. Based on the content of the urgent message Lu Er had sent to the allied Sects, Lu Yi was already dying.
Yun Huaxia said, “Brother Lu, I’m happy that you’re okay! The message Xiao Er had sent frightened me, he said that you were tainted with death qi. Everyone knows that no one could completely cure someone who is infected by Death qi.”
“Hm. I know. Xiao Er wasn’t lying about the death qi. I was indeed affected by it and was dying just last night. Stop everyone from entering the Lu Clan’s Ancestral Mound. That place is full of death qi. Thankfully a kind rogue cultivator had saved me. My life was spared thanks to that person,” said Lu Yi.
Jin Baihua spoke, “Maybe Brother Lu isn’t really tainted with death qi or it just might be a poison or something?”
Hearing this Lu Yi and Lu Er glare at Jin Baihua. His careless words were enough proof that he didn’t believe whatever Lu Er had reported to the alliance.
Lu Er spoke, “Poison, was it? Why don’t you check for yourself whether it was just poison or a death qi? These are the ice needles the divine doctor used to extract dage’s death qi. I will show you proof that you could never deny!”
“Do it!” commanded Lu Er to some disciples who brought a box of black ice needles and a wild brown rat before everyone.
The disciple carefully held the black ice needle and pricked it on the rat. Under everyone’s eyes, the brown skin of the wild rat slowly turned black while the rat itself was suffering from seizures as if it was suffering intense pain. After a while, its mouth starts foaming and dies in a matter of a few minutes.
Crown Prince Hong commented, “That black skin, is it what they called blackening? Tainting?” .𝘤𝘰𝑚
“It is really the death qi. Death qi is different from other types of qi. If resentment qi makes others crazy, death qi is like what it means literally… Dying,” said Bai Qiyin.
Yun Huaxia spoke, “Darling is right!”
He had forgotten that his wife is about to divorce him. He had no other choice but to change the topic to ignore the awkwardness between him and his Dao Companion. Of course, everyone including the Lu Brothers noticed the atmosphere between Yun Huaxia and Bai Qiyin. But they were used to it, as they almost always fight whenever Jin Baihua is around.
Yun Huaxia said, “But Brother Lu, who cured you? Someone who knows how to extract death qi from someone alive can only be called a Divine Doctor. Is this esteemed person still around? I wanted to thank him myself.”
Hearing this the Lu brothers hesitated to speak, especially Lu Er who guessed that person’s former identity.
Lu Er said, “This… It is not like we don’t want him to meet everyone but… That Daren seems to like quietness and hates crowds.”
“If it is like that then… let’s wait for the meal. Is the divine doctor willing to join us for a feast?” asked Yun Huaxia.
Lu Er said, “I should ask first. For last night’s dinner, he chooses to eat alone in his courtyard. Even disciples or servants are not allowed to serve him, he likes to be alone.”
“Hmp! This kind of oddness reminds me of Chun Hongyun-Jin. That man hates other people’s presence and likes to be alone as well,” said Bai Qiyin.
Yun Huaxia didn’t deny his younger brother’s personality and said, “Hm! Jieye is indeed that kind of person. I wonder if those two met would they get along better than the rest.”
“They might get along well,” said Lu Yi while recalling the past events where he would always see that pair together yet detached from other people.
Lu Er said, “Yes, much better than the rest.”
Suddenly, a disciple who guards the gate of the sect comes running to report.
“Sect Master! Chun Hongyun-Jun and some young disciples of the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect had arrived!”
Sect Master Lu said with a delighted expression on his face, “Speak of the devil, and here he comes. Come and welcome Chun Hongyun-Jun in. Send the children to the other courtyard to rest.”
“Yes, Sect Master!”
After receiving his next task the disciple saluted to the other seniors in the hall before taking his leave to welcome the new guests.
—
At the entrance of Lu Weifeng Sect (Green Wind Breeze Sect) gates.
Yun Xiajie, followed by a group of disciples, was welcomed into the territory of the Lu Weifeng Sect. The one escorting them was an elder from the Lu Clan. Despite his age being higher than Chun Hongyun-Jun, he treated the latter more servile than any of the other esteemed guests in the hall.
This man is after all the strongest cultivator in their realm. Chun Hongyun-Jun. The youngest yet most powerful, though he usually doesn’t get involved with things that pertain to the stability of the allied sects.
An elder of the Lu Weifeng Sect said, “Welcome, Chun Hongyun-Jun! The Sect Master and the other Esteemed Lords are waiting at the receiving hall. As for your disciples, we had prepared a courtyard for them to rest. My disciple would send them there!”
“Greetings to Chun Hongyun-Jun!” said the disciple of the said elder.
Yun Anjie and the rest understood that they couldn’t follow their elders to the hall. They’ve decided to bid their farewell to this point.
“Chun Hongyun-Jun! We shall take our leave here,” said Yun Anjie.
Yun Xiajie glanced at his foster son and said, “Do not come out of the Lu Weifeng Sect’s Territory.”
“Yes, Chun Hongyun-Jun!” said the disciples of (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect. Before taking his leave with the elder from the other sect.
Those who were left behind were mostly young disciples whose cultivation stages were at Qi Gathering Stages.
The disciple from Lu Weifeng Sect smiled at these disciples who were the same age as him. He saw that Yun Anjie was the leader of the small team.
“Nice to meet you, Junior Brothers. I am Lu Sheya. Courtesy name: Lu Ke. Welcome to Lu Weifeng Sect!”
“Junior Brother Yun Anye greets Senior Brother Lu Ke!”
“Junior Brother Yun Fan greets Senior Brother Lu Ke!”
“Junior Brother Du Sang greets Senior Brother Lu!”
“Junior Brother….”
“…”
After the introduction was made, Senior Brother Lu Ke looked at Du Sang who hid behind Yun Fan knowing that he was being stared at.
Yun Fan felt helpless that Du Sang is too cautious towards other sect disciples except for their group.
“Senior Brother Lu Ke please forgive Sang’er. He is too shy toward other people. He had recently joined our Sect and also lost his only family on the way. He is a bit distrusting towards new people,” explained Yun Fan.
Lu Ke spoke, “I see. He is a disciple in name and a new disciple at that. But he is talented enough to reach 3rd rank in the Qi Gathering Stage at such an age.”
“Un! Sang’er is more talented than me!” said Yun Fan proudly.
A disciple from his sect commented, “Xiao Du is also more diligent than you and also more patient as well.”
“That’s right. If you continue to play around like this Xiao Du would mostly like to get even stronger than you. If that happens no one knows who would be protecting who. Sigh~” said Yun Anjie.
Yun Fan’s face turned red when he even heard Du Sang giggling behind him. Seeing Du Sang finally smiling and unguarded toward them, he felt relief and determination.
“I will do my best to get stronger,” said Yun Fan.
Lu Ke commented, “You guys are indeed close. Each one of you is talented. Especially Junior Brother Yun Anye. To think you’ve reached 5th rank Qi Gathering at your age. That’s amazing. Truly powerful~”
The words of praise from Senior Brother Lu Ke are nice to hear but for some reason, it left Yun Anye and Du Sang feeling uncomfortable. They decided to act blind temporarily while secretly guarding against this man.
Yun Anjie asked, “Senior Brother Lu Ke. We were actually forbidden to get out by Chun Hongyun-Jun. Is there an empty training hall where we can practice and cultivate?”
“You don’t want to go out? Well, it’s been recently dangerous in the city. Last night the Great Elder had returned wounded. He almost died too but he was still saved in the end,” said Senior Brother Lu Ke.
Yun Anjie and Du Sang’s uneasiness get stronger when this topic was mentioned. For some reason, these words Lu Ke were trying to get them interested in something and mentioned some information about the emergency situation only their elders should know.
Yun Fan asked, “There is really an emergency? No wonder Chun Hongyun-Jun hurried us to come over here. We didn’t sleep all night just to arrive as soon as possible. Your elder just now said you had prepared a courtyard for us. Is it okay to go there now? I’m so sleepy~ *Yawns”
Senior Brother Lu Ke’s smile twitched for a moment but acted normally.
“You do not want to practice or cultivate anymore?” he asked.
Yun Anjie understood what Yun Fan wanted to do and agreed with his plan.
“It is proper to get some rest first before cultivating. Moreover, we can also cultivate in the courtyard while resting. Senior Brother Lu Ke please show us the way,” said Yun Anjie.
Senior Brother Lu Ke nodded his head but his smile had long disappeared.
“Follow me. Your courtyard is this way!”
Following a few steps behind Lu Ke, Yun Anjie approached Yun Fan and Du Sang.
…..
Yun Anjie whispered, “Don’t you think there is something weird about this senior brother?”
“Un. He is too eager to get us out of the sect. He is plotting something,” whispered Du Sang.
Yun Fan on the other hand said with a serious tone of voice, “Get your guard up. Prepare to fight. There’s an eerie aura coming from him.”
If Yun Fan who had Heavenly Eyes said that there is some weird aura coming from Senior Brother Lu Ke then there must be something wrong with him as expected. They’d been with Yun Fan for years. They knew that he could see other people’s aura much more clearly than the rest.
Yun Anjie ordered one of his junior brothers in a low voice.
“One of you discreetly separates from the group and informs the elders. It is better to tell Chun Hongyun-Jun as soon as possible. For now, act normal.”
They acted normal as they followed Lu Ke who said to show the way to the courtyard where they could rest. They’ve worked together to get one of them to secretly leave the team to report the strange behavior of this Senior Brother Lu Ke.
