Chapter 732: 14.8 Last Violet Star – Another Type of Qi
On the other hand, Hei Anjing watches this scene from a distance without getting involved by either party. He was playing the role of a bystander and was not willing to get involved with these young disciples.
But he overheard their conversation with the person in the water mirror. Though he didn’t see the appearance of the person on the other side, his face remained expressionless as if he doesn’t care.
Hei Anjing murmured, “A pure red cloud?”
He then disappeared from somewhere without anyone knowing.
Meanwhile at the headquarters of (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect.
The Lan Clan’s land is made up of fertile mountains. It was covered with greenery, natural water ponds, and lakes. They also put up a Qi Gathering array to make these mountain peaks a treasure land full of qi. At the very least the qi in these mountains are a hundred times that of the normal sparse lands in the mortal realm.
Among these peaks, the one owned by Chu Hongyun-Jun had the purest qi. These are due to some treasure he had in his possession. Like the world tree, immortal pond, and herb garden. His courtyard is also filled with trees of Immortal peaches.
Chun Hongyun-Jun is just a title he possessed. This is something that other people from the Cultivation World call him. His birth name is Yun Xiajie. While his courtesy name is Yun Jieye. He is someone from the Upper Realm. But 10 years ago he was punished for failing his mission. His memories of the Upper Realm were sealed in him and only his memories of the Mortal Realm remain.
Not only that but he was also forbidden from returning to the Upper Realm. Only when he completed his Oath that could come from where he came from. Because of that, he stayed at the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect as an elder. His vessel just happens to be the younger brother of the current Sect Leader.
Plus, with his good reputation and strong cultivation that many cultivators in the Mortal Realm idolized him. They respected him above all other sect leaders of other Sects. He spends his time in boredom. Normally, he would wait for some unknown nonsense like this. He would most likely try to sacrifice himself and kill as many devils before he dies.
But the heavenly laws themselves had forbidden him. In doing such a sacrifice. He could only continue living an empty and lonely life alone. But the sudden appearance of the dual aura user of both dark and light caught his attention.
Only the devil race can control the resentment energy. They used all negativity in the world as their source of power. The humans who are short-lived were their source of resentment energy as well as their prey.
While the cultivators, Gods, and Goddess or immortal wield another type of energy. The aura of the world itself. The thing called Qi.

***
Sect Master Yun decided to see off his younger brother that usually only lives in their sect when there are some cases where the devil race appears. This was the first time he will leave his mountain peak after hearing the rumors of the dual qi user. After all, in this world, only that person existed to be able to wield two contrasting energy and doesn’t suffer any backlash from it.
“Are you really going? I do not believe that person would be able to reincarnate in this world that fast,” said the Sect Master Yun.
Chun Hongyun-jun, Yun Xiajie, looked above the evening sky and check the stars for predictions.
“This time… it might not be just rumors. Dage, I miss him so much.”
“Sigh~ what if it’s not him and the children had just mistaken it for something?”
“I need to see with my own eyes. If it is not him I shall return but… if it is indeed him… Dage, I might stay away from the Sect until he agrees to come back home with me. This is what you promised. I didn’t choose to ascend that time not because I am afraid of the punishment the Divine Laws would bestow to me but because they told me that he is still alive.”
“Fine. Go! Make sure to bring him back this time.”
“Um. I’m going,” said Yun Xiajie as he rode on his sword to go to the place his adopted son had reported. His white robes flutter under the evening sky like a streak of starlight passing through.
A few moments after Yun Xiajie left the Sect. The former Sect leader and the former great elder appeared from behind the trees joining the current Sect Master to see off Yun Xiajie.
“Greetings to Father and Uncle!”
“No need for formality between families, Hua’er,” said the former Great Elder Yun.
The former Sect Master look at the stars his youngest son was looking at just now. His eldest son noticed his father had the same expressionless face as his younger brother.
“Do you also know Star reading, Father? Did you see what Xiao Ye had seen?”
“Chaos in the Southern countryside. The punishment of the heavens.”
“What does that mean?”
The Great Elder responded, “That’s the place Xieye is heading for. A punishment from the heavens comes from the Heavenly Realm. It means an immortal had once again descended in our Mortal Realm.”
“There are rumors from the past that say that no one knew the real background of that child. No one in this realm knows where he came from. Made… he is from that place. I hope that Xieye would finally find his happiness. He had been lonely for these past 13 years,” says the former sect Leader. He is one of the few humans that came back to life 10 years ago. Even they couldn’t explain how they are able to resurrect themselves especially when their vessels had been burned to ashes through their funerals.

Du Family Mansion…
The mansion is small-sized and cannot even be compared to the Imperial Palace in the capital. But for a countryside town like this, this kind of mansion is already considered wealthy in such a place. The Du Family is a matriarchal clan. In this mansion, the one with the highest authority isn’t the lord but the mistress. Du is the surname of the Matriarch and she is also the eldest legitimate daughter of her clan.
Years ago, the Du Family have two young misses. The eldest is born from the legal wife and the second miss born from the outside. The Du Matriarch at that time had already died and the authority of the Du Family had ended up with the lord. So when his lover from the outside bore a daughter, the Lord of Du didn’t think twice and brought her into the family. This young lady is the future mother of Jin Sang who married the former lord of the Jin Clan.
But the old lord the Jin Clan is a famous womanizer. Not only does he have countless wives, but he also has numerous concubines and lovers outside. Jin Sang is one of the legitimate Young Masters of the Jin Clan. But after the old sect master learned that Jin Sang is a cut sleeve, he and his mother were thrown out of the Jin Clan. They had no other choice but to return to the Du Family in the countryside.
The Du Clan didn’t want to accept the mother and son but… A son with Du bloodline is capable of spreading the seeds of their clan and the clan elders accepted them. In the end, the mother of Jin Sang was treated as badly as a slave. In the end, Jin Sang’s mother dies from an illness. She died from a high fever.
The current Du matriarch prevents everyone from helping Jin Sang’s mother and it resulted in her death in the end. This is the reason why Jin Sang hated the whole Du Family. For him, this clan had killed his only family and tortured him all his life.
The group of five disciples from the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect went to the Du Family Mansion where they were welcomed by the family after knowing they were here to catch a living corpse targeting them.
The Du Matriarch had welcomed these disciples well. She knew that this was the only opportunity for her son to enter such a well-known sect as (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect.
It’s currently evening. So everyone is having dinner with the guests.
“Welcome come. Welcome, come! Disciples of a distinguished sect!”
“Mother! Aren’t you going to punish that beggar!? Because of him, my servants were killed by that monster!!” said the fat young master Du.
“Shss! Silence! We have guests right now. Act with dignity. This is your chance!” said the Du Matriarch.
“What chance? I don’t want to enter the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect. I want to join the Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect) instead. I wouldn’t be like that beggar who was thrown out for loving the same gender!” said the fat young master Du who was sneering at Jin Sang at the corner table near the exit ignoring everyone as he ate his meal.
Yun Fan and the rest peek in his direction when they’ve learned he is a cut sleeve. But unlike ordinary humans, as cultivators, they never cared about the gender of their Dao companion. For people like them who practice immortality, descendants were never something they cared for. Instead, they wanted the loyalty and sincerity of the partner they had chosen who would be living with them for a very long time.
Yun Anjie didn’t like what Fat Young Master Du had said and spoke out for the Du Family Clan to hear.
“It might be something you ordinary people know but… Cultivators don’t care whatever gender our other half is. Whether it was a woman or a man, as long as it’s the person who fathered us, we would be willing to enter Dao companionship. In ordinary human’s words, it’s marriage. It is just that there are sects that practice normal partnerships like the Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect). But this is because to the Jin Clan, bloodline is the most important. They marry countless of wives to continue this practice but our (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect is different. We only marry one person in our whole life.”
Silence~
The awkwardness of the area had spread in all directions. The fat man felt he was face slapped by this young disciple who is quite handsome and too elegant to point out bad things. He couldn’t find anything to point out and he had no other choice but to hold back his anger.
“You!!”
Yun Anjie gracefully sips his tea and said, “Moreover our (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect only accepts new disciples through recruitments. This year there wouldn’t be any recruitments on schedule. The only exception is for an elder of the sect to accept one as their direct disciples, unfortunately, the elders of our clan rarely leave the Sect.”
The Du Matriarch’s expression is not good at this moment. Seeing her beloved son’s face slapped like this before her made her original good attitude towards these young disciples turn sour.
“I see… So you guys aren’t here to look at my son? Then I guess you guys aren’t welcome here anymore.”
“We don’t mind. We only came over to warn your family that a fierce female corpse had gone back to life. It was from a tomb at the cliff not far from this town. It’s just that the trails of her resentment qi had to lead us here in your home. Since Madam no longer needs our help then we shall take our leave,” said Yun Anjie as he put down his tea cups. Picked up his sword beside him preparing to leave with his disciple brothers.
“Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
Seeing the Sect disciples from a famous sect leaves without reluctance, the Du Family who had been arrogant all their life finally panicked especially when they heard about them being targeted by a monster.
“Wait! What about us? Do you not care about our lives? Aren’t you guys supposed to be protecting us!?”
“That’s right! You are cultivators. It is your duty to protect us!”
“You cannot leave. I don’t want to die!”
The young disciples frowned at the actions taken by these people. They didn’t expect them to block their way out as they tried to leave. Though they are only trying to scare them, their reactions were too big and now they even prevent them from leaving.
Yun Fan said, “What do you guys plan to do?”
“You can’t leave. You must protect us,” said Matriarch Du as she ordered the servants of the house to surround them and capture them.
“Capture them all for me.”
“Sigh~ these mortals are truly very selfish!” said Yun Fan as he was about to pull his sword planning to fight back.
But his sword was pushed back to its sheath, Yun Anjie looked serious and looked around as if feeling something that made him uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong, Anye?” asked Yun Fan.
Yun Anjie spoke, “The resentment energy in this house. It increased a lot.”
“What!?” exclaimed the other disciples as they tried to check their surroundings and as their team leader said, there was a suddenly powerful stench of death and resentment.
Yun Fan noticed his friend’s weird reaction and felt around. He also noticed the resentment qi surrounding the mansion, especially the hall they are in.
“How come I didn’t notice it before? This mansion… It houses people whose karma had been black all along. Wait what about that brat?” said Yun Fan as he looked around to find Jin Sang.
He only saw him eating peacefully at his table finishing his food without care for whatever is happening in the hall. His eyes are empty and indifferent. As if he no longer fears anything, even death.
Jin Sang felt Yun Fan looking at him. With dead fish eyes and said, “Sigh~ I warned you. Do not follow me. This household is almost at its dead end.”
“You know? You can see auras. You are born with Heavenly Eyes aren’t you?” said Yun Anjie.
His words rendered anyone who knew what they were talking about speechless.
Yun Fan said, “How come? You don’t even have qi in you?”
“Of course, I do not have qi. I use different energy as qi,” said Jin Sang as his obsidian eyes suddenly turned scarlet. An aura with the same color of blood came from Jin Sang.
It was the very same energy that surrounds the Dining Hall. Disciples from the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect can barely see resentment qi. Among them, only Yun Anjie and Yun Fan, who are almost at the Foundation Establishment Stage, could sense it and somewhat see it.
The glowing aura of red coming from Jin Sang stunned them speechless.
Yun Anjie muttered in disbelief, “Resentment Qi? You’re a Demonic Cultivator!?”
