He took out a dagger and stabbed it into the voodoo’s heart. Then, he placed the doll beside him and sat cross-legged to form a spiritual array.

A steady stream of spiritual energy surged into the bodies of four of them. Their old faces were slowly regaining their youth, and the filth in their bodies was being removed bit by bit. Ascending to immortality was a slow process.

However, in at most half a month, they would be able to ascend to immortality. Xu Ran took a deep breath. His progress might be much slower because Xu Qing had escaped.

However, Xu Qing could only last for three days at most. After three days, he would definitely die.

It didn’t matter if he died early or late.

Xu Qing woke up with a heart-wrenching pain. He curled up like a baby and his breathing became heavy. He reached into his clothes and pressed on his chest.

There was no wound, but the pain kept coming from his heart.

With a creak, the door opened.

Wu Ju walked into the house and walked to the bed. He reached out and injected endless power into Xu Qing’s dying body.

The warm power eased the pain. Xu Qing looked up at him and said in a hoa.r.s.e and old voice, “Thank you for saving me.”

Wu Ju walked to the table and sat down. He looked at Xu Qing with a gentle smile and said, “Do you want to know why he wanted to kill you?”

Xu Qing was stunned. He looked at Wu Ju. Wu Ju looked very young, at most in his twenties. Why had he never heard of such a powerful monk?

He had a gentle smile on his face, like a Buddha. However, if one looked at him carefully, they would find that there was no warmth in his eyes. It was as cold as the abyss of h.e.l.l. Xu Qing s.h.i.+vered in fear. How could there be such a person who was cold and warm at the same time.

Xu Qing thought of Xu Ran’s murderous intent and his eyes revealed a trace of hatred. He looked at Wu Ju warily and finally said with difficulty, “Why?”

Before this, they had always trusted each other and never hid anything from each other. However, this time, not only did Xu Ran hide it, but he also wanted to kill him.

Why did Xu Ran want to kill him? This was what Xu Qing wanted to know the most. Although the pain in his heart had eased, he still felt that his body was gradually losing its vitality.

But why? Xu Qing was unwilling to die just like that. He looked at Wu Ju with desire in his eyes. Could this monk give him an answer?

Wu Ju smiled faintly. “A thousand years ago, there was an ancestor in your Cloud Breaking Sect called Han Zhen. His mount was a fire phoenix. As a cultivator, he subdued demons. Soon, he cultivated to perfection and ascended. However, the demons he killed all turned into mental demons and wanted to pull him into h.e.l.l. Han Zhen injected a demonic aura into the fire phoenix’s body and let the fire phoenix suffer in his place while he bathed in immortal light and ascended.”

Xu Qing was immediately excited. “Nonsense. According to the records of my sect, the fire phoenix sacrificed itself for the ancestor to ascend.”

The Cloud Breaking Sect had existed for a thousand years. There were records of every ancestor subduing demons. There was naturally no lack of spiritual beasts around them.

As for this person called Han Zhen, he was recorded in the Cloud Breaking Sect’s dossier as the last ancestor who ascended. His spiritual beast was a fire phoenix called the Divine Emperor. When Han Zhen ascended, it sacrificed itself to protect its master and died.

Wu Ju smiled. “Who recorded his life? After your senior brother killed you, do you think he would tell the world that he killed you for his own selfish reasons?”

Xu Qing was rendered speechless. If the Cloud Breaking Sect continued to exist, him being murdered would naturally not be recorded. He couldn’t refute Wu Ju on this, but seeing that Wu Ju was so young, Xu Qing instinctively retorted, “You’re so young. Only trusted disciples can read the files of my Cloud Breaking Sect. How did you know? Moreover, you weren’t even born a thousand years ago. How did you know?”

The more Xu Qing looked at him, the more suspicious he became.

Facing Xu Qing’s suspicion, Wu Ju only smiled faintly. “I’m not the one who’s going to die. If you’re willing to die, then I’ll let you die.”

Xu Qing’s face turned pale and he looked terrified.

Wu Ju continued calmly, “That fire phoenix was destroyed by the demonic aura but did not die. In the past thousand years, he has set up a world-destroying formation, and everything that happened to the Cloud Breaking Sect is related to him. His goal is to absorb all the energy in this world and become an immortal in one go!”

“Not only will your senior brother kill you, but the other three elders will also kill their senior brother to ascend to immortality.”

Wu Ju spoke casually. Xu Qing was shocked when he heard it. His understanding seemed to have been overturned by Wu Ju.

He knew every word Wu Ju said, but why did he not understand what he meant?

After a while, Xu Qing said with difficulty, “So in the end, will that fire phoenix and my senior brother become immortals?”

Wu Ju smiled but did not say anything.

Xu Qing asked again with difficulty, “I’ve been orphaned since I was young. Is it my fate or is it the fire phoenix’s doing?”

Xu Qing had many questions to ask, but in the end, he only asked, “Are you that fire phoenix?”

Wu Ju shook his head. “If I were that fire phoenix, this world would have been destroyed long ago.”

The fire phoenix’s goal was to ascend to immortality, and the demonic aura that could not be removed was his Achilles heel. For this, he did not hesitate to spend a thousand years setting up his plan.

If he was the Fire Phoenix, this world would probably have been destroyed long ago. He would choose to die with this world.

Xu Qing looked at Wu Ju and asked, “Then who are you?”

Wu Ju looked at Xu Qing and replied calmly, “I’m the son of Huang Xianxian, who was killed by you that year.”

Xu Qing’s eyes widened. He remembered that Huang Xianxian did have a son, but that child had long been burnt to ashes. How was this possible? Xu Qing’s voice trembled. “That’s impossible. At that time, there was no one alive… The village was burned clean. How, how could you still be alive?”

The smile on Wu Ju’s face did not fade, but his eyes were cold.. “Yes, how can I still be alive?”
