Chapter 1446: First Quarrel

Though it was hard to control his powers, it was not that difficult for him to set things on fire. Especially when all he needed was to draw an array taught by Xiao Bai.

"It is done," Song Yan turned to look at him and flinched slightly when her eyes met with his glowing ones.

Even though Fu Yu Sheng told her a few days ago that he had the powers of an immortal for some reason she was still not used to his amber eyes which resembled a reptile.

Fu Yu Sheng was looking at the man who had died after his soul was ripped and burned thus he did not see his wife flinch. He wiped the black smudge off his face and then raised his head to look at Song Yan.

He questioned, "What did he say?"

"He said that he was only following the orders of a woman named Duan He," Song Yan replied and Fu Yu Sheng stiffened upon hearing her answer.

When she saw him stiffen, Song Yan narrowed her eyes and said, "What? What are you hiding now?"

"I am not hiding anything," Fu Yu Sheng answered without blinking or looking at his wife. He looked everywhere but at Song Yan whose eyes narrowed even more as she walked close to him.

With one of her hands raised, she caught hold of Fu Yu Sheng\'s jaw and turned it so that the man was looking at her.

"Look at me and speak. What are you hiding?"

"I--I am not."

"Yu Sheng!"

"T——that, I am not saying anything!" Fu Yu Sheng pursed his lips as he turned his face away from Song Yan forcefully.

He did not want to tell Song Yan about Duan He and he certainly did not want her to meet with Duan He ever again. The last time the two of them met, his wife lost her life and she was trapped in the deepest pits of hell because she killed millions of cultivators.

Song Yan did not remember it, but he did for he had followed her and watched her roam around in hell with her hands tied in bloodied chains like a ghoul.

Fu Yu Sheng closed his eyes as he recalled the memory where he saw Song Yan walk past the many bloodied souls that clung to her even in hell.

That blank stare, mournful screams and bloody tears-- he would rather hide it all than let Song Yan remember what she had to go through to become a human again.

"Yu Sheng!" Song Yan was annoyed by his refusal to speak, if not for the fact that she could not use her truth talisman on this man now-- she would have done it long ago.

"I don\'t know anything!" Fu Yu Sheng shouted as he turned on his feet and ran like his life depended on it.

He was not going to say a word!

However, as he ran, his eyes flashed with determination. Duan He...this time around, he wouldn\'t let her use him nor would he let her touch Song Yan.

In the past Song Yan died protecting him and this time around, it would be him who would protect her no matter what the cost.

If suffering in hell for centuries was his punishment then so be it!

"Cough!" Duan He, who knew nothing of Fu Yu Sheng\'s newfound determination, was currently sitting in the main hall of the sect that belonged to her.

She coughed and stared at the dark red blood in her palm and her eyes darkened. She incoherently wanted to say something but found that it was too hard for her to breathe. It was as if her throat was blocked by something and she was being silenced.

It was only when she coughed blood a few more times, could Duan He shouted,

"Someone!"

Duan He panted as she held onto the armrest of the chair on which she was sitting and she breathed harshly.

"Have you all died!?"

She roared and the twelve pillars with Pillar Five missing appeared in front of Duan He. They all were holding a teleporting talisman in hand and seemed worried as they could sense Duan He\'s discomfort.

"Mistress!" Pillar One and Pillar Four rushed to hold Duan He up from the floor.

Lu Xiuying stared at the two men who were helping Duan He and narrowed her eyes. What happened?

She had never seen Duan He so weak before, even when she saw her for the first time, Duan He was not this weak.

"Where is Pillar Five?" Duan He asked as her eyes swept through the twelve pillars standing in the man hall. "Where is he?"

She had just used her soul summoning to summon the pillars whom she had raised and taught. Strictly speaking, every single one of them should have answered the call but for some reason, Pillar Five was missing.

Only then did the rest of the pillars realise that Pillar Five was missing.

Pillar One\'s eyebrows furrowed as he said to Duan He, "Don\'t worry mistress. We will

summon him again."

As he spoke, Pillar One looked at Pillar Four who nodded and summoned Pillar Five but as soon as he tried to summon Pillar Five -- he realised that the soul of Pillar Five couldn\'t be traced much less summoned.

Pillar Four frowned. He did not believe that Pillar Five was dead, that man was too strong and he had been cultivating dark arts since he was a child. How could he die?

However, as he tried to summon Pillar Five again, Pillar Four could not trace Pillar Five\'s soul no matter how hard he searched for him.

"What\'s wrong?" Pillar One questioned as he looked at Pillar Four. "Why is it taking so long?"

Each Pillar had a piece of Duan He\'s soul, they were interconn cted to one another in some way. It shouldn\'t have taken so long for Pillar Four to trace Pillar Five and summon him.

"I——I cannot trace his soul. It seemed to be destroyed," Pillar Four answered and a sudden hush fell all over the main hall.

Pillar Thirteen who had newly become a part of the sect felt her eyes widen. Did they not say that as long as she became a Pillar, she would become indestructible?

"What nonsense!?" Pillar Four yelled at the man who was speaking foolish words. How could Pillar Five be killed? His cultivation was at the seventh level, other than Gu Chenyi who was at level nine, no one could kill him.

He turned to look at Pillar Thirteen and questioned, "Did Gu Chenyi make a move?"

If Gu Chenyi was at the moment, he would have recognised Pillar Thirteen at once. Because it was none other than Shen Yu!

"N--No," Shen Yu answered with a shake of her head, at the same time she regretted joining this sect while agreeing to act undercover for them.

They promised her that as long as she became a member of their sect, she would not have to

worry about death.

And that she would one day suppress Gu Chenyi.

So, how come one of the higher pillars died!?

"He was at the sect the entire day," Shen Yu answered with a soft voice. "Gu Chenyi did not

leave the sect the entire time, I can assure you of that."

If Gu Chenyi did not leave the sect then who killed Pillar Five!?

"Find it!" Duan He clenched her fingers and roared in a loud voice, "Find the one who killed

Pillar Five at all costs!"

"Yes!"

Lu Xiuying lowered her head in submission as she agreed to look for the master who killed Pillar five but as her head was lowered-- no one saw the satisfied smirk on her lips.

It seemed like Duan He could indeed be killed.

Now all she needed was to find the person who could kill Duan He.

Only then would her revenge be fulfilled.

*****

Song Yan sneezed but did not stop glaring at the man who sat next to her. He had been

avoiding her for the better half of the night and even though she had done everything from coaxing to threatening, Fu Yu Sheng did not pry his mouth open.

It was simply ridiculous when she thought about how she was begging this man to speak but

he was refusing to even make a sound.

"Are you really not going to tell me anything?" Song Yan asked as she glared at the man.

"No," Fu Yu Sheng replied without looking at her as he focused on driving the car.

Song Yan clenched her fists before saying, "Stop the car."

"Wh--What? Why? We haven\'t arrived home yet," Fu Yu Sheng said to her, he was slightly surprised upon hearing her words.

"I said-stop the car," Song Yan repeated, this time slowly. Since this man did not want to answer her then she was not going to talk to him. He could hide as much and as long as he

wanted!
