Chapter 1894 - 692: Origins_2

"However... Dongmen Yong, you truly terrify me.

"In your daily demeanor, you are calm and composed, well-read and with a remarkable memory. Whether it is martial arts talent or intelligence, you are a figure that emerges only once in a millennium.

"Within a short span of time, you have already become the third in Longmen.

"You are truly a person that others dread.

"What is even more terrifying is that among the Jinglong Association’s Jing Huangs, many have deep ties with you.

"Meng Changkong even regards you as a confidant...

"If this continues unchecked, your rise to become the Longmen First Jing would be a matter of time.

"But once you become the Longmen First Jing.

"If you were to learn about the ancient matter of the Gui Xu Clan, how could the Jinglong Association’s hundreds of years of foundation not be destroyed at your hands?"

"Gui Xu Clan?"

The face of the Second Jing changed, for the Gui Xu Clan was precisely exterminated by the Jinglong Association.

Could it be that Dongmen Yong is a descendant of the Gui Xu Clan?

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but glance at Dongmen Yong.

But Dongmen Yong ignored his gaze:

"So, when you become the First Jing, the first thing to do is to kill me."

"Yes."

The former First Jing said in a low voice:

"The stronger your martial arts, the higher your capabilities, the more intelligence you possess.

"The more I feel, you must die.

"It’s a pity... just as I was about to become the First Jing, you used the search for the Xuantian Treasure Seal as a reason.

"Diplomatic mission to Donghuang.

"Ridiculous, at that time I did not think much.

"I merely thought you were eager to achieve merit, wanting to fight me for the position of First Jing.

"I didn’t realize that once you left, you vanished for several decades.

"During my tenure, I called for you to return several times.

"You turned a deaf ear.

"Only now do I realize, you knew about the old affair long ago!!"

"If it weren’t for your deep malice towards me, why would I have delved deeper into the matter?

"How else could I have discovered that I come from the Gui Xu Clan?

"As for fighting for the First Jing position...

"That old thing would never have willingly handed over the Jinglong Association to me.

"Though he seemed to trust me greatly,

"A sharp blade can only be held in one’s hand, not be poised above the head of the wielder.

"Otherwise, once that blade falls, wouldn’t the head be severed?

"In Donghuang’s territory, you dare not venture easily.

"If the old men of the Ziyang Sect were to see you, they might happily lift the coffin lid.

"Even I had to be careful to avoid detection by them.

"For decades, I lived a life neither human nor ghost.

"At that time... if I had heeded your command and returned to Xizhou... it would have been my death.

"Even when Xiao Liu went to fetch me, I made inquiries.

"I knew you had already secluded yourself at this gateway deep in the clouds.

"Thus, I came back without worry.

"To carry out my plan..."

When Dongmen Yong spoke up to this point, his face showed neither sadness nor joy.

"Your plan is to annihilate my Jinglong Association!?"

The Second Jing could no longer hold back and shouted:

"Did you really kill the First Jing?

"I do not believe it, the First Jing’s martial arts are supreme, even if you have the Qiankun True Understanding, Yin Yang Immortal.

"How could you take his life?

"You claim to have killed him, then where is his body?"

"Do you think I would leave such a loose end as a body?"

Dongmen Yong let out a cold laugh:

"Last night, I was dug out of the coffin.

"I went straight to find the First Jing.

"When he saw me, he was both shocked and joyful, and after confirming my identity, he immediately let his guard down.

"I used the excuse of Su Mo utilizing Meng Changkong... that is, Old Fifth, to infiltrate this cloud-cloaked place, to reveal the secret to him.

"Taking him off guard, this set of Heavenly Destruction Soul Stealing Hand, he absorbed it most satisfyingly.

"Afterward, I dissolved his body into a pool of foul water using Corpse Dissolving Water.

"From then on, Longmen no longer has a First Jing!"

"Bastard!!!!"

The former First Jing, hearing this, could no longer keep his composure and burst out in anger:

"I’ll kill you!!!"

His robe moved without wind, a strong Gang Qi diffusing around him, taking a sudden step forward, causing a thunderous crash within the whole hall.

His single palm reached out, the five bony fingers reduced to mere skin and bones.

But the powerful force contained within, even the Second Jing and Fourth Jing felt their breath tighten.

Even though the palm wasn’t aimed at them, it still gave them a sense of impending doom.

Under the oppressive weight of his palm, Dongmen Yong raised his eyebrows, spreading his arms, left hand facing the sky, right hand facing the earth, as he clapped his hands together, palms rotating, enveloping an intangible sphere between them which gathered into a ball of force.

The strong Vigorous Wind spread outwards from it.

Suddenly, he pushed it away.

At that moment, the former First Jing’s palm was already in front of him.

Upon contact, there was a thunderous collision sound.

There was no fierce clash of dragons and tigers, only Dongmen Yong was sent flying backward.

In an instant, he crashed through a Coiled Dragon Pillar within the hall.

The remaining force pinned him against the wall.

His bones unknown to be how many were broken.

Bleeding from every orifice, his meridians severed.

Yet Dongmen Yong showed no sign of panic, merely took a deep breath, and then a crackling sound echoed from within his body.

His meridians all rapidly healed in that instant.

The blood flowing from his orifices reversed and returned, and he leapt down from the wall, looking towards the former First Jing:

"Good skills...
