Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1579: Chapter 1579: What Exactly Happened to Fen Qianji

Upon hearing the mention of the Seven Star Heavenly Positioning Plate, Mu Hanyan suddenly recalled that not only Han Yutang but also Gai Huangji and Bo Xuanji relied on this Seven Star Heavenly Positioning Plate to enter the Holy Soul Illusion Realm. Now Gai Huangji has escaped, but Bo Xuanji has been severely injured and couldn’t escape.

Thinking of the injury her grandmother once suffered, Mu Hanyan’s heart surged with anger again as she walked toward Bo Xuanji.

Bo Xuanji was already heavily injured, and though the earlier axe did not strike directly at him, the force created a deep pit within a ten-zhang radius, and he could not dodge in time and was caught in the collateral damage. Now, he had disheveled hair and was vomiting large mouthfuls of blood, clearly unable to survive.

”For today’s endeavor, my Bo family’s several generations of ancestors schemed endlessly, yet I didn’t expect it would still come to naught in the end. Indeed it is fate, fate!” Seeing the anger and hatred in Mu Hanyan’s eyes, Bo Xuanji knew he had no chance of survival. He didn’t want to suffer humiliation and torment before dying, so letting out a long sigh, he struck his heart meridian with his palm.

After all, as a master of the Sword Saint Realm, even if severely injured, he still had the ability to commit suicide.

Mu Hanyan had already guessed he might do this and was prepared. With a flash of her figure, she had already clasped his pulse point, and Qi flowed through, instantly sealing his meridians. With this, Bo Xuanji couldn’t exert any Qi at all.

”Mu Hanyan, you... what are you trying to do?” Bo Xuanji coughed out another mouthful of blood and asked in shock.

”Wanting to die, it’s not that easy.” Mu Hanyan said coldly. At the same time, she injected a gentle Qi into Bo Xuanji’s body, which couldn’t save his life, but could temporarily protect his heart meridian.

”Mu Hanyan, the temple and the Holy Court have battled for over a million years solely due to differing beliefs. If you torture and humiliate me, it’s not the action of a gentleman!” Seeing Mu Hanyan’s icy gaze, Bo Xuanji instinctively shivered and said.

Although cultivators of the temple and Holy Court adhere to the etiquette of the Sword Dao, usually, the victor would grant the loser a dignified death rather than maltreat them. However, it couldn’t be ruled out that some, due to deep hatred, would humiliate their opponent in various ways before killing them. He didn’t want to end up like that.

”Where is Fen Qianji, and what exactly happened?” Mu Hanyan asked.

Even though she disliked killing, it didn’t mean she wouldn’t kill. The reason she hadn’t acted immediately was to inquire about Fen Qianji’s whereabouts.

”Fen Qianji!” A slight sharpness flashed in Bo Xuanji’s eyes.

”Tell me about Fen Qianji, and I can give you a dignified death. Otherwise, I can make you wish for death but not get it,” Mu Hanyan said cruelly, simultaneously taking out a Dragon Blood Revival Pill.

Bo Xuanji’s heart trembled. With this Dragon Blood Revival Pill, Mu Hanyan indeed could decide his life or death, and certainly make him wish for death but not get it.

”Alright, he’s doomed anyway. There’s no harm in telling you. Fen Qianji has been trapped for several months by the Ancient Priest in the Luoshen Abyss,” Bo Xuanji ultimately chose to yield.

”What is Luoshen Abyss?” Mu Hanyan immediately asked. In both her lifetimes, she had never heard of this place.

”I don’t know either, just heard the Ancient Priest mention it. The Luoshen Abyss is the Land of Divine Fall, extremely dangerous, and even the Lord Divine could face mortal danger upon entering. Fen Qianji has been trapped for so long, there’s no way he could come out alive,” Bo Xuanji said.

Upon hearing this, Mu Hanyan felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Now she vaguely understood that in the past life, when Fen Qianji stabbed that sword, there were other reasons. Without that sword, she wouldn’t have been reborn in this life, wouldn’t have had these opportunities, or today’s power. She misunderstood Fen Qianji, yet he did so much, so much for her. Hence, she no longer held that deep-seated hatred against Fen Qianji she once did and still regarded him as her best friend, her closest partner.

Could it be that her rebirth, her reincarnation, has already doomed Fen Qianji to his fate?

No! He won’t die so easily; he must still be alive. I must find him and rescue him! Mu Hanyan resolved.

”I’ve told you everything you want to know. Kill me!” Bo Xuanji’s words interrupted Mu Hanyan’s thoughts.

”Actually, I didn’t intend to kill you personally, but since you injured my grandmother and caused the destruction of the Han and Tang Families, how can I face them if I don’t kill you myself?” Mu Hanyan slowly drew her longsword.

In fact, even if she didn’t act, as long as she let go of that Qi, Bo Xuanji would naturally die. Given her character, she disdained to make a move to kill someone who was already powerless and on the brink of death.

However, thinking of her grandmother’s injury, she couldn’t suppress her fury. The Han and Tang Families were nearly destroyed by Bo Xuanji, wiped out almost to extinction. This revenge was supposed to be exacted by Tang Bufan personally. Since he wasn’t here, it could only be up to her. This would also spare Tang Bufan from regret.

”Wait, who is your grandmother?” Just as Mu Hanyan was about to act, Bo Xuanji suddenly asked.

”Lu Nianxin.” Mu Hanyan said briefly.

”Lu Nianxin, that domineering Empress Dowager of Shangyue Country... hahaha!” Bo Xuanji first showed a puzzled look, then laughed heartily, though there was a hint of grief and indignation in his laughter.

”What are you laughing at?” Mu Hanyan couldn’t help but ask.

”Mu Hanyan, I am a descendant of the temple, and you are a citizen of the Holy Court. Even if I’m gravely injured with no way out, dying under your sword is a fitting death. Surely, no one would mock you for it, so why must you find such an excuse to slander me? I never thought you were such a vain-glorious person.” Bo Xuanji said in an angry voice.

”You’re saying my grandmother wasn’t injured by your hand?” Seeing Bo Xuanji’s face full of anger, Mu Hanyan suddenly grew doubtful.

”Everything the Bo Family did upon arriving in the Holy Court Continent was solely for this Sword Soul. To protect our lineage’s secret, generations of ancestors ended their lives early. Why would I seek Lu Nianxin’s trouble?

Besides, what does this Han and Tang Families you speak of have to do with me? How does causing their destruction benefit me? Knowing the Holy Soul Illusion Realm was about to open, why would I invite such trouble?

To think I even regarded you as the strongest among the younger generation of the Holy Court Continent, the temple’s greatest future enemy, yet you couldn’t even figure this out.” Bo Xuanji, seeing that Mu Hanyan didn’t seem to be falsely accusing, said mockingly.

Mu Hanyan was slightly taken aback, rendered speechless by his questions.

Indeed, Bo Xuanji and his family schemed for generations, concealing their identity just for today’s endeavor, for that Sword Soul. Why would he risk exposure by stirring up unnecessary trouble?
