Chapter 715: 715
Zhang Ruochen asked, "Two hundred years ago, what happened anyway?"
Mu Lingxi answered . "At that time, the Sect Master made a decision to expand into the Eastern Region and scramble for its profits, competing against the Black Market, the Martial Market Bank, and the imperial court .
"However, every force there was deeply rooted in the Eastern Region . If the Demonic Sect wanted to do something, it needed its own foundation . They selected an aristocratic family, the Qis .
"Only by controlling the Qis could the demonic sect enter the Eastern Region with no difficulty . They could even penetrate the Yin and Yang Sect by taking advantage of the Qis .
"The plot was bloodless, but one person had to be sacrificed--Lin Suxian .
"The Sect Master gave the order, and Lin Suxian was secretly married to Qi Xiangtian, the eldest son of the Qis' leader .
"For the next century, the Demonic Sect was assisting Qi Xiangtian behind the scenes . Eventually, 50 years ago, Qi Xiangtian took over the Qis . In order to enhance their control over the Qis, Qi Feiyu was developed as a Saintess .
After he heard the whole story, Zhang Ruochen sighed and said, "Did predecessor Luo Xu just sit by and watch helplessly while Lin Suxian married Qi Xiangtian?"
"Of course not!"
She added, "Although I don't know what happened between Lin Suxian and predecessor Luo Xu, I know from the High Priest that the predecessor had once went on his own to Topless Mountain, the headquarter of the Demonic Sect . On the path, he crushed seven Half-Saints . He even risked his life to kill a Saint .
"You know, predecessor Luo Xu had only reached the Half-Saint realm at that time .
"Unfortunately, his power was so weak that he was defeated by the Saints in the Sect . They say that his body was badly mutilated . Even when he was at the gate of death, with his blood spilled along the path, he refused to submit .
"The Sect Master had intended to put Luo Xu to death, but Lin Suxian pleaded for him, and she finally compromised by agreeing to marry Qi Xiangtian . Luo Xu was saved .
"Since then, this matter has remained unknown, except for the leaders in the Demonic Sect . Besides, the Sect Master has imposed a sealing order, so nobody would dare to reveal it . "
Zhang Ruochen was visibly moved, and he said, "Since it's a demonic sect secret, why did you tell me?"
Mu Lingxi had been weeping silently . She stared at Zhang Ruochen in tears . She said, "I just want you to know that if someday, the Master asks me to marry someone else, I hope deeply that this man would be willing to fight his way up Topless Mountain for me without hesitation . With that man, I would fear nothing, not even death .
"Zhang Ruochen, did you know that the Saintess of the Demonic Sect is only a tool for the Sect Master to win popular support? The so-called Saintess can be awarded to any Saint who has made great contributions to the Demonic Sect . "
Zhang Ruochen could sympathize with Mu Lingxi's sorrow and fear, and he fully understood why she had thrown herself at him .
As a matter of fact, she was worried that she would follow in Lin Suxian's steps .
Why not give her first night to someone she loved?
With a serious look on his face, Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath and put his arm around Mu Lingxi's waist and the other on her head . Gently, he said, "Don't be afraid . If that day is destined to come, please believe that I will push my way to Topless Mountain to pick you up in person, even if there are hordes of demonic sect's armies in the way . "
Mu Lingxi rested softly in his arms, her tears falling faster .
Meanwhile, in the Tai Qing Palace of the Yin and Yang Sect, the heads of 3 palaces and 72 institutions had gathered to interrogate Qi Qiankun and Qi Yun .
An hour later, the leaders commanded immediately that the Lords of all the sacred mountains needed to clean up the Qis' descendants .
Master Ning Xuandao, seated on his throne, was dignified but sullen .
Everyone could tell that he was in a great fury .
Qi Qiankun and Qi Yun did not utter a word from beginning to end . But with the expulsion of the Qis' descendants, it was not long before messages were sent back consecutively .
The relationship between the Qis and the demonic sect grew apparent .
Although the Yin and Yang Sect remained neutral, never fighting the demonic sect directly, it could not tolerate any collusion with the demonic sect, which would be against the Suzerain's interest .
Saint Lady just sat beside him without saying anything, but she believed that the saints of the Ning Xuandao and the Yin and Yang Sect would not ignore her .
Saint Lady stood for both the imperial court and the Empress .
It was in the Yin and Yang Sect that she had encountered the mishap . How could the Yin and Yang Sect not give an explanation?
Moreover, the imperial court had hostile relations with the demonic sect . If the Yin and Yang Sect dared to be partial to the Qis, how would the imperial court interpret it?
Therefore, the cleanup in the Yin and Yang Sect, no matter for the whole or for individual, was bound to be terribly bloody . Any member of the Qis who had a relationship to the demonic sect was doomed to die .
Saint Lady mopped up the Qis before the Sword Technique Conference mainly because of the Heaven and Earth Altar .
