Chapter 4358
Zhu Qingxiu’s expression was one of complete astonishment as she slowly descended to the depths of the sea. To her disbelief, nothing seemed to happen!
“What on earth is happening? What kind of technique did you use? Even the Dead Sea can’t protect you!”
She questioned incredulously.
“Before you ask me anything, I’d like to know about your connection to Zhu Family Town and who Zhu Qingyue is to you,”
Kai replied curiously.
Zhu Qingxiu paused, taken aback. She scrutinized Kai before responding, “How do you know about Zhu Family Town? And what do you know about my sister, Zhu Qingyue?”
“So, Zhu Qingyue is indeed your sister? I had a hunch. Even with half your face covered, you bear a striking resemblance to her,”
Kai said with a grin.
Instantly, Zhu Qingxiu’s demeanor shifted; she hated it when people commented on her appearance!
Putting her mask back on, she replied coldly, “Just how do you know my sister?”
Kai proceeded to recount how he met Zhu Qingyue, omitting any details about her connection to Xiao Feng.
Upon hearing his story, Zhu Qingxiu’s anger flared. “That Qi Family Town is utterly outrageous! Back when our Ten Thousand Swords Sect was intact, they wouldn’t have dared to treat Zhu Family Town this way!”
“What happened to your Ten Thousand Swords Sect? Why was it destroyed?”
“Was it just because some demonic cultivators were after your sect’s secret scrolls?”
Kai asked, puzzled. He found it hard to believe that such a weak force could wipe out an entire clan.
“Stop with the nonsense! Our Ten Thousand Swords Sect is not weak! Otherwise, my father wouldn’t have sent me there to learn from a master,”
Zhu Qingxiu retorted. “The problem was that the Demon Sealing Alliance targeted us. When my master refused to join them, they unleashed a horde of demonic cultivators upon us.”
“After the Refining Sect was destroyed, we couldn’t upgrade our sword forging techniques for over a decade, which severely weakened us. In the end, the disciples either perished or fled.”
“Before I escaped, my master entrusted me with the Wan Jian Sect’s secret manuals for safekeeping. I hid above the Dead Sea, but while eluding pursuit, I accidentally fell in. Half of my face touched the seawater, resulting in my current appearance.”
“I’ve been hiding on the islands of the Dead Sea, afraid to return home for fear of putting my family in Zhu Jia Town at risk.”
“I often wonder how my father and the others are doing after all this time…”
As Zhu Qingxiu reminisced, tears began to flow uncontrollably!
“The Demon Sealing Alliance is truly despicable; one day, I will make sure they pay for what they’ve done,”
Kai declared, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
“What’s your story? I heard that the Demon Sealing Alliance has been after you with a bounty for a century. Do you harbor a deep-seated grudge against them?”
Zhu Qingxiu inquired.
“No significant grudge; I merely killed the son of the Lord of the Demon Sealing Alliance…”
Kai said casually.
“What?!” Zhu Qingxiu stared at Kai in disbelief, then gave him a thumbs-up. “You’re quite impressive…”
“Alright, enough with the flattery; it might go to my head. Here, I have some recovery pills for you. They should help speed up your recovery!”
Kai produced several recovery pills and offered them to Zhu Qingxiu.
Without hesitation, she took the pills and tossed them into her mouth.
As the pills dissolved, a refreshing energy surged through her body, making her feel invigorated!
“I never expected you to have such high-quality elixirs!”
Zhu Qingxiu expressed her appreciation enthusiastically.
“I have plenty of great items. Once you get to know me better, you won’t want to leave!”
Kai joked, a playful glint in his eye.
Zhu Qingxiu glanced at him blankly before closing her eyes to channel her energy for recovery.
