Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 334 - 332 Tonight in Fuzhou under the Moon

"Gongzi Yuu, you, you, you actually killed your master?" Xuan Bei pointed at Gongzi Yuu, angrily demanding.

Gongzi Yuu sneered coldly and, taking advantage of Xuan Bei’s inattention, secretly gathered his True Yuan and struck him a fierce palm.

Xuan Bei, already injured, was caught off guard by the speed and clever angle of Gongzi Yuu’s attack, and was immediately smacked to the ground.

That dark black lotus flower reappeared on the palm of Gongzi Yuu, and a cold, Death God-like smile lifted at the corner of his mouth.

"Elder Uncle, since you and my master were close as brothers, let me send you down to meet him!"

Upon seeing Gongzi Yuu about to strike Xuan Bei, the two Elders, Xuan Ku and Xuan Jin, exchanged glances and both stepped forward simultaneously.

"Unfilial disciple, stop!"

Gongzi Yuu scoffed disdainfully and flicked his sleeve, splitting the black lotus into two, meeting their advance directly.

"Rise up!"

The bodies of Elders Xuan Ku, Xuan Jin, and Xuan Bei instantly expanded like inflating hydrogen balloons, uncontrollably hovering in mid-air.

Then, their True Yuan was drawn out layer by layer from their bodies, like silk unraveling from cocoons.

In no time, at a visibly rapid pace, they withered away, turning into three skeletal corpses that thudded heavily to the ground.

Xuan Mu, terrified, subconsciously thought to flee through the door.

However, as soon as he pushed the door open, he felt a strong vortex of suction from behind. Immediately after, the flesh and bones in his body were crushed into dust under this terrifying pressure.

Witnessing such a horrifying scene, Xuan Nan’s heart nearly leapt out of his throat, especially when he saw Gongzi Yuu’s gaze sweep towards him, causing him to tremble all over.

Without another word, he immediately knelt to the ground with a "thump," begging for his life.

Xuan Gang, albeit unwilling to kneel, had no choice at such a life-and-death moment. Thus, he followed Elder Brother Xuan Nan’s lead and knelt stiffly on the ground.

Seeing how sensible Elders Xuan Nan and Xuan Gang were, Gongzi Yuu’s sense of triumph was evident on his face.

He laughed loudly three times to the sky, and then, with a skin-deep smile, looked down at Xuan Nan and Xuan Gang, asking, "Elder Uncles, did you see how my master and these four Elder Uncles died?"

Xuan Gang, awkward with words and not eloquent at speech, instinctively looked to Xuan Nan.

Xuan Nan swallowed hard twice, very aware that the appropriateness of his reply directly impacted his fortune and life.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he finally spoke, "Little Yuu, our Sect Leader Brother and several junior brothers were gravely injured by Immortal Master Li, and out of rage, their wounds worsened, leading to their deaths!"

Gongzi Yuu nodded satisfied with Xuan Nan’s response.

Then, he turned his gaze to Xuan Gang, asking, "Elder Uncle Xuan Gang, is that so?"

Xuan Gang, seeing the expectant look in Xuan Nan’s eyes, stiffly nodded, "Indeed it is!"

"Good, Immortal Master Li, today I, Gongzi Yuu, swear by the heavens, the vengeance for killing my master and the hatred for destroying my sect, I shall repay you tenfold in the future!"

Upon seeing this, Xuan Nan quickly moved forward to curry favor, "Little Yuu, our father must be at peace under the Nine Springs having a disciple like you!"

However, Xuan Nan’s attempt at flattering ended up backfiring, immediately causing Gongzi Yuu’s displeasure.

Xuan Nan, terrified, felt his heart skip a beat and quickly diverted the topic, "Little Yuu, now that our Heavenly Master Sect faces the crisis of annihilation, thankfully, our ancestors have blessed your arrival to save our sect from extinction. I propose that you take over the 38th Sect Leader position of our Heavenly Master Sect!"

Gongzi Yuu looked at Xuan Nan, his expression ambiguously smiling, and asked, "Elder Uncle Xuan Nan, I am just a junior, isn’t this inappropriate?"

Xuan Nan shook his head and said, "Little Yuu, you speak too modestly. You are the proud disciple of our Sect Leader Brother, taking over as Sect Leader is entirely fitting and there’s nothing improper about it!"

Gongzi Yuu was quite satisfied with Xuan Nan’s attitude and then turned to Xuan Gang: "Uncle Master Xuan Gang, what is your opinion?"

Xuan Gang quickly shook his head and said, "I agree with Elder Brother Xuan Nan’s suggestion. You are the favorite disciple of the Sect Leader, it is only right and proper for you to succeed his position as Sect Leader!"

"Since both Uncle Masters have no objections, then I shall humbly accept the appointment!"

After saying this, Gongzi Yuu pointed at Xuan Nan and said, "Uncle Master Xuan Nan, you will continue as the Inner Sect Grand Elder and act as the Sect Leader temporarily!"

"Uncle Master Xuan Gang, you will replace Uncle Master Xuan Long’s position as the Outer Elder. The vacant positions will be filled based on merit!"

"Thank you, Little Yuu..." As soon as the word ’Yuu’ left his mouth, Xuan Nan saw a trace of anger appear on Gongzi Yuu’s face, so he quickly corrected himself: "Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Gongzi Yuu nodded in relief and, pointing at the corpses of Xuan Tian and the others, said, "Uncle Master Xuan Nan, please take care of the remains of my master and the other Uncle Masters!"

Xuan Nan respectfully responded, and then carefully chose his words to ask, "Sect Leader, should we hold a funeral for our Elder Brothers?"

Gongzi Yuu thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No funeral for now. I need to go into seclusion for a while!"

At this point, his gaze suddenly turned icy, filled with intense killing intent: "The day I emerge from seclusion will be the day I take Immortal Master Li’s head!"

"Li Chen, just you wait. All the humiliation you inflicted on me, I will reclaim it one by one. I believe that day will not be far off!"

Meanwhile, Li Chen, who was still sitting cross-legged, suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Achoo!"

He rubbed his nose, feeling his eyelids twitch continuously, a sense of ominous premonition looming over him. free𝑤ebnovel.com

However, he could not quite pinpoint the source of this foreboding feeling.

After pondering deeply for ten minutes, Li Chen still could not figure it out.

"Forget it, let’s not worry about these things. Just cope with whatever comes. I’ll first follow Shen Xingchen to save his master, and along the way, inquire about the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant, then return to see Xue’er — it’s been some time since I’ve seen that girl!"

Thinking of Ye Chuxue’s smiles and frowns, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on Li Chen’s lips.

Subconsciously, he looked up at the night sky and saw the full moon; the hazy moonlight seemed to dance with a fair maiden.

At the same time, Ye Chuxue sat in her room, supporting her cheek with one hand, unblinkingly staring at the partially hidden moon behind the clouds.

"That jerk Li Chen, really, to disappear for so long without any word!"

After muttering to herself, she picked up a brush from the table and drew a figure on a piece of white paper, deliberately writing "Li Chen is a big jerk" in graceful script in the upper right corner.

After finishing the drawing, she began to admire her creation. The more she looked at it, the sillier it seemed, and she covered her mouth with her hand, giggling.

But as she laughed, the tears began to flow.

Just then, a breeze blew in from the window, lifting her temples’ hair and flipping open an antique-looking book of Tang poetry.

Ye Chuxue rubbed her eyes and glanced sideways at the opened page of "Classic of Tang Poetry Analysis." The page blown open by the wind was Du Fu’s "Moonlit Night."

The moon tonight over Fuzhou, from my room alone I view. I think of my little children, they know not I think of Chang’an.

The scent of mist-wet hair, the clear glow chills my arms. When can we lean by the screen window, reflecting each tear-stained cheek?

After reading it, tears that Ye Chuxue had been holding back flowed freely, trailing down her cheeks, leaving spots on the book’s title page.

...

Note: "Moonlit Night" is a love poem written by Du Fu in his wife’s voice, themed on longing, which suits Ye Chuxue’s current mood very appropriately.
