Chapter 6 — I Am the True Murong

The Void Immortal immediately raised his beard and rolled his eyes, scolding: "Shut up! You don't study properly, all day running around learning some ancient and evil practice, making your master so angry that you'll be kicked out of the master's door!" Seeing that the two were about to get into a real war of words, my master and I quickly stepped forward to bow: "This senior is Kieu Linh, please greet senior." Void Immortal snorted, looking extremely disgusted: "What kind of senior? She is my junior sister, her name is Da Hong, she practices evil ancient magic - Ancient Master, and has long been expelled from the sect by my master!" Senior Da Hong did not say a word, waved his hand and gave the Void Immortal a painful blow with the bamboo stick in his hand: "You bastard! Didn't you drag this old lady back here? If you hadn't dragged me here, I wouldn't have wanted to return to this tattered Medicine King Cup!" As soon as she finished speaking, she angrily turned her head and tried to leave the cup. My master and I looked at each other and immediately guessed in our hearts - this person was the "master" that the Void Immortal had mentioned before. “Senior, please stop!” I quickly stepped up and pulled her back. Unexpectedly, the giant spider on Da Hong's shoulder suddenly shot out a stream of silver silk, wrapping around my wrist as if wanting to protect its owner. The spider made a strange clicking sound, like it was saying something. Senior Da Hong tilted his head and listened for a while, then suddenly stopped walking, turned around and looked at me from head to toe, his eyes much more serious than before. Then suddenly she burst out laughing: "Ha ha ha~ No wonder that old Void ran all the way to Mieu Cuong to find me - It turns out it's because of this interesting kid!" Facing my suspicious eyes, senior Da Hong patted my shoulder and sincerely comforted me: "Congratulations, kid, you got hit in the neck~!" “Is there anything worth celebrating!!” Void Fairy got angry and raised his peach wooden stick, intending to hit Senior Da Hong with a mighty blow. In the Central Plains, ancient techniques are very rare, and the majority of righteous sects strongly reject this type of practice, thinking that it is an evil path and a deviant shortcut. Therefore, ancient magic is often listed as forbidden magic, my master and I have never had contact before, after hearing it, I only felt my head spinning, completely incomprehensible. “Senior… please explain more clearly.” Senior Da Hong sat down on the ground without any politeness and began to explain in a leisurely tone: "The type of neck you hit is called mother neck - child neck. To put it simply, it means a pair of necks will be placed on two people, one person will hit the child's neck, the other will hit the mother's neck. And the child's neck... will be controlled by the mother's neck. After three years, the person who hits the child's neck will be completely controlled by the person carrying the mother's neck." "Old Void said that your mind was stolen by someone else, it was because you were secretly messing with it. And it wasn't a magic spell, so those people couldn't find it out." Hearing this, my heart immediately trembled violently. Three years... wasn't that exactly the time when Murong Nhuoc had just worshiped Van Kiem Tong?! Could it be... from that moment on she was secretly targeting me?! “So… senior… is there any way to solve this ancient question?” I impatiently opened my mouth to ask, but senior Da Hong just clicked his tongue indifferently, then took out a silver brooch and poked it straight into the vein on my wrist. Just when I was still bewildered, then The giant spider on her shoulder spit out a strand of ivory-white spider silk, going straight into my veins. I was startled and shouted softly: "Senior, this is...?!" Senior Da Hong stroked the spider's head and said with a loving expression: "Don't worry, my pet is helping you drag that ancient worm out. Don't look down on it because it's so cute - it's an ancient king, you know?!" I looked at the hairy eight-eyed spider, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find anything cute, but I still nodded seriously: "So... thank you senior spider for helping..." Sure enough, soon, that white thread seemed to have hooked something - an extremely strong force began to struggle crazily in my body, as if it wanted to scratch every meridian. The senior spider didn't say a word, just made a whooshing sound, releasing countless more silk threads, tying the object tightly, then opening its mouth to swallow it mercilessly. "It's done, little girl. The Gu worm has been destroyed. You... are okay now." I was stunned for a few seconds, then felt the large rock in my heart fall to the ground. Senior Da Hong saw me breathing a sigh of relief, so he secretly glanced at the floating image stone, squinted his eyes and smiled, his voice full of meaning: "The neck you hit is a death Gu - once it dies, the person under the neck and the person carrying the mother will also be betrayed. And this type of ancient... requires a lot of blood. The person who lowers the neck and the person who holds the mother... must have a blood relationship. So—" "The person who harmed you is about to be repaid~." After listening, I suddenly understood everything. He quickly turned his head to look at the floating image stone, carefully observing each person inside, not missing anyone. Right now, I'm just waiting for the other guy to collapse right in the ring. Only seen on a high platform in the middle of the arena. Immortal Lang Tieu suddenly grabbed his throat, coughed violently, and then spat out a mouthful of dark blood! Before everyone could react, Mo Dung Nhuoc screamed: "Dad -!" Then she opened her mouth and spat blood, collapsing on the spot. Father?! Immortal Lang Tieu... is Mo Dung Nhuoc's biological father? But I clearly remember that Lang Tieu's ancestors did not have the last name Mo Dung?! What is this?! The elders and sect masters on the stage were also frightened and their faces changed, hastily gathered to check the pulse and protect the spirit of Lang Tieu. On this side, senior Da Hong shook his head, sat and watched the play, sighing and feeling: "There is no cure. The person with the lower neck... at least cut off all the meridians. If you do something unvirtuous, heaven will not tolerate it." As for Murong Nhuoc, she started to go crazy, her hands constantly scratched her face, her nails dug deep into her skin, and blood splattered. A shrill scream echoed throughout the arena: "Aaaa! Aaaa aaaa —— Murong Nhuoc has entered a demon!!" But those crazy hands did not stop, until the entire face turned into a pile of slimy, red flesh. "Dad! Dad!! What just happened?! Save me!! Help me ——!" Unfortunately, Lang Tieu Immortal Venerable had already cut off his entire body's veins, the spiritual energy in his body no longer had a way to flow, and began to rebel crazily. In less than half a moment, the person exploded on the spot! As if Mo Dung Nhuoc was excited to the point of extreme hysteria, she pulled out her sword and stabbed it into her own chest, stabbing and screaming: "No - no - don't -!" Spectacle before his eyes, causing the entire arena to become silent. This scene... is too crazy, too terrifying. Even the elders were stunned on the spot, not daring to say a word. It took a while for a few elders to regain their composure and decide: "This matter... must be investigated clearly. Quickly search for the soul!" As soon as the command was given, magic light flared up, and a ray of soul consciousness was pulled out from the body of the immortal Lang Tieu. A terrifying scene immediately appeared. Twenty years ago, the Murong clan was destroyed - it was because of the mastermind of Lang Tieu! He once obtained an ancient secret sword technique, but unfortunately - This sword technique is only suitable for Water or Ice type spiritual roots. And he - and his biological daughter Mo Dung Nhuoc - are both Fire element spiritual roots. It turns out, right from the moment I entered, Immortal Lang Tieu saw an opportunity. He immediately ordered the mixed-race daughter he gave birth to with a mortal woman - to pretend to be a female member of the Murong clan, and blend into the sect under the identity of "Murong Nhuoc". Next, he secretly descended on me, took over my mind and spirit, stole swordsmanship, magic, all my thoughts and creativity. Then he made up a story, step by step blaming it, making outsiders think that he was stealing other people's work, acting dishonestly, and deserved to be expelled from the school. Everything he did — just to make his daughter a "kendo genius", a false aura that cost me everything. He even plotted to take away my spiritual roots, cut open my stomach and rip out my heart, to complete the great and immoral transformation! But... The truth is finally revealed. The whole arena was shocked. The heavenly spirits of all sects were simultaneously shocked. The two criminals - Lang Tieu and Mo Dung Nhuoc - both died, tragic deaths under karma and retribution. We don't need to hold grudges and die like before. There's no need to kneel down and beg or bow your head to admit guilt on anyone's behalf. It's all over. However... My master and I did not choose to return to Van Kiem Tong. No need for anyone to judge, no need for anyone to atone. Together we leave the Medicine King's Cup and venture into a larger world out there. I raised my head to look at the clouds in the sky, my sleeves fluttering lightly in the windy forest. In this life... I will live for myself.
