Chapter 731: 14.7 Last Violet Star – Young Disciples of Sects

The female fierce corpse was attacking the entourage of Young Master Du and his minions. The guards the fat man had brought had tried their best trying to defend him. But as expected ordinary human beings cannot defeat a supernatural being like a living corpse.

Jin Sang had watched the scene of the female Fierce corpse fighting and biting the guards of Young Master Du while the fat man himself had run off to escape. He himself was frightened to the core as he was trembling while trying to crawl away from that fearsome entity. Who would have expected that once the fat man and his troops had run away, the female corpse would turn around and approach Jin Sang?

Seeing her rotting and dried body closed up, Jin Sang whole being turned cold. He closed his eyes waiting for his death but the incoming pain he thought would come didn’t arrive. Instead, he felt a slender hand carry him by his armpit and help him lean on the tree. After a gentle pat on his head, Jin Sang was rendered speechless. He opened his eyes and saw no one in front of him. No dead body, no moving monster, and no Young Master Du. Only a few traces of blood on the ground was left behind as proof.

Jin Sang mumbled, “D-Did that... Female Corpse save me? But... Why?”

He held the part of his head where he had felt the gentle pats. He suddenly recalled a forgotten past he could only vividly recall within his vague memories.

Jin Sang mumbled, “Mother?”

Thinking of his past where his mother is still alive made Jin Sang cry. It’s been a while since he cried. When his mother died of illness, he didn’t cry. When his father had thrown both him and his mother out of the Sect, he didn’t cry. Only at this moment, the vague memories of his happy past made him reminisce. That is the 15 years of his life, he also had a time when his mother loved him the most.

.....

Like an abandoned child, Jin Sang hugged his knees and cried his eyes out. Unknown to him, two beings were watching over him from a distance. One is the fierce female corpse who saved him and the other is Hei Anjing who was watching the whole scene from the sky.

Just when the fierce female corpse had seen Jin Sang cry painfully, she wanted to approach him but was stopped by Hei Anjing.

Hei Anjing said, “Hold it. You should have realized that the living and the dead cannot be together.”

Grrrr~

“Unless you want that child to get involved with you, you should never appear before him again. The only reason you are not killed by me is because of your merits. Get your revenge and I will allow you to say your last words to that child. But you must enter reincarnation afterward,” said Hei Anjing.

Giyaaa~

The fierce female corpse glances in Hei Anjing’s direction and stiffly moves her body to lower her head. After kowtowing a few times she had left as she was told. But she didn’t forget to look in the direction where Jin Sang was just now.

Hei Anjing landed at the location where the female corpse was just now and saw an old necklace that was left behind. It was a silver locket with the shape of water. Hei Anjing waves his hands once and the locket landed on his hand. Inside the locket is an old photo of a graceful lady and on the other side is a baby boy.

Sigh~

“You should have given it to him yourself. This king is not your errand boy,” said Hei Anjing before disappearing in thin air.

A few moments later, a group of disciples wearing white robes with cloud motifs appeared in the area. They are Yun Anjie and Yun Fan plus the other three more disciples that came with them.

Yun Fan looked around and said, “The traces end here! How can that happen!? Both trails ended here!!”

“Calm down, Fan. There’s someone,” said Yun Anjie as he noticed Jin Sang not far away from them.

The disciples of the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect were kind and friendly by nature. Seeing how Jin Sang is covered in whipped wounds and all other kinds of wounds, they’ve approached him worriedly. In lead is none other than Yun Anjie as always. He had a gentle smile on his face as he pulled a healing pill and ointment to cure Jin Sang’s wounds.

Yun Anjie said, “Hello. We are from the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect. My courtesy name is Yun Anye and my birth name is Yun Anjie. You may call me Yun Anye or just Anye.”

Jin Sang had just calmed down from crying when he heard Yun Anjie’s words. He was startled enough to almost hit his head on the tree behind him. Thankfully, Yun Fan’s hand stopped his actions and didn’t end up having a bump.

Hiss!

“Don’t get your head hit. You’re already covered in wounds. Don’t get a bump on the head as well!”

Frightened by their sudden arrival, “W-Who are you guys? White robes with cloud motifs. The Lan Clan?” asked Jin Sang.

Yun Fan said, “You know about the Sects. What is your name?”

Jin Sang hesitated to speak but in the end, introduced himself.

“I no longer have any courtesy name. You can call me Sang.”

“How about the last name?” asked Yun Anjie.

Jin Sang said, “No more.”

The disciples of (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect looked at each other as if understanding something on their own. They decided to no longer ask about this person’s background.

Yun Anjie asked after he finished treating Jin Sang’s wounds.

“Sang was it? Can I ask you a few questions?”

“Are you looking for a female fierce corpse? She is no longer here. After eating a few men who beat me up she left before I woke up. I’ve lost consciousness for a few minutes just now,” said Jin Sang as he decided to mix truth with lies.

Even though he doesn’t know why that monster had saved him, he didn’t want her to get harmed by these hypocrites. Yes, they are hypocrites. These men from that righteous clan are all called like by the other Sects. This is because they are so strict with themselves when it comes to rules and they rarely get angry even when someone is one-sidedly blaming them or irrationally treating them as tools. In short, they are good-natured idiots.

Jin Sang stood up with the help of Yun Anjie and cupped his hands towards this group of disciples. He slightly lowered his head and showed his gratitude.

“Thank you for the pill and medicines. If there isn’t anything else please do excuse me. I still need to go back,” said Jin Sang.

Yun Fan said, “Wait! Where are you going back to?”

“Du Mansion. I live there as a... servant. But please do not follow me anymore. Goodbye,” said Jin Sang as he walked away. He wants to get back to that place where there is a place he can live too. At least in that place, he would have a roof to sleep in too.

Yun Anjie and the rest looked at Jin Sang’s back figure walking away while staggering. He obviously sprained one of his ankles but never uttered a sound of pain or cried when his wounds were treated as if this kind of wound was something regular for him to bear.

Yun Fan said, “I think he didn’t say everything. He mixed truth with lies.”

“I know. But he is so defensive with strangers. Even though he knew about our sect, he doesn’t seem to like cultivators. But he knew about the courtesy name and he said he no longer has it. Either his parents are gone or his sect exiled him,” said Yun Anjie.

Yun Fan said, “The possibility that it’s both is also there. What should we do next? I found a new trail of resentment qi.”

“Let’s go to that place you’ve found. Where was it?” asked Yun Anjie.

Yun Fan answered, “Du Family Mansion.”

Sigh~

“This coincidence is really...” mumbled Yun Anjie.

Yun Fan asked, “Should we inform, Chun Hongyun-Jun?”

“I will send a telepathic message to my father. I mean one of the trails we found is so weird. It’s a resentment qi mixed with divinity,” said Yun Anjie as he pulled out a communication bead and crashed it.

Once the bead is crushed white clouds come out of the bead creating a water mirror that can be connected to the maker of the bead. A handsome man with an apathetic and ascetic face appeared in the water mirror. This man emits sharp features instead of gentleness which their clan should have possessed. What’s eye-catching are those pairs of crimson eyes that seem to be dyed with the cloud itself. Darker than ordinary yet. It leaves dangerous glints as if a predator was staring at someone dangerously.

This man is none other than the stronger person in the Mortal Realm. Chun Hongyun, Yun Xiajie.

The handsome man with apathetic eyes looked at the one who called upon him but didn’t speak. Yun Anjie and the rest of the disciples had clasped their hands respectfully as they greeted their Elder from the Sect.

“We greet Chun Hongyun-Jun!”

[Un. Why did you contact me?]

Everyone left the responsibility of explaining the situation to their leader, Yun Anjie.

“Reporting to the Elder. We had found an intelligent Fierce Female Corpse at the 3rd level Foundation Establishment Stage. She had escaped our imprisonment after capturing her. She is now hiding in a small town here in the country. This disciple is afraid that the Fierce Corpse must upgrade herself beyond our means.”

[I will send a Senior Disciple to help you. Someone with Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivation.]

“These disciples were grateful but...”

[What is it? Speak.]

Chun Hongyun-Jun was busy cleaning his guqin as was shown in the water mirror.

“This...this disciple isn’t sure. But a weird phenomenon is found in this town. We found two trails of resentment aura. One of them is from the Fierce Female Corpse but... The other one is... We don’t know. But we feel that this being possessed resentment aura and divinity at the same time. Does a being like this exist?”

CLaNG!!!

The question of Yun Anjie startled the ascetic man in the water mirror. They heard a loud clang from the other side, obviously, he unknowingly clutches a few strings of the guqin causing a painful sound.

Chun Hongyun-Jun or should he be called Yun Xiajie spoke once again after such a weird sound.

[Speak! What did you just say?!]

Yun Anjie panicked. This is the first time he had seen his father figure lose demeanor at such a time. The Chun Hongyun-Jun they all know has always been a calm and silent man. To lose his composure like this meant that the news about the man having an aura shocked him badly.

“Yes. A being with a mixed aura of resentment and divinity appeared in this countryside town. Asking the Elder for his decision,” said Yun Anjie.

[Stay put. Don’t engage. It would take a day or so but I will be there soon.]

Then the water mirror and the cloud faded into air vapors. It can no longer be seen by someone’s naked eye. The disciples were rendered speechless by what they heard. They did not expect that someone of Chun Hongyun-Jun’s standing would suddenly come over personally because of what they had reported.

Yun Fan was the first to react, “Eh? The communication was cut off from the other side. Anye, is Lord Xiajie really coming?”

“S-Seems like it... This is unexpected, what should we do now?” asked Yun Anjie while feeling flustered.

Yun Fan suggested, “Wait for Lord Xiajie in the Du Family Mansion. Regardless, we still have the duty to protect the ordinary people.”

“You’re right. The Fierce Female Corpse trails lead there. She might be targeting the Du Family for a reason. Let’s investigate first. At least collect enough information before Chun Hongyun-Jun arrives,” said Yun Anjie.

His friend had all agreed with this plan. They’ve started investigating the Du Family, Jin Sang, and the identity of the Fierce Female Corpse.
