Chapter 863: Love Between Master and Disciple

r, even so, she wouldn't be able to hold on for a few months at this rate."Of course, just now the Grand Master came...""Moon, you don't have to wait on me here. Go outside and tidy up those flowers."...Unbeknownst to her, the Grand Master's calculation had precisely anticipated this move of hers. The Seven Stars Formation was already complete, lacking only her return to her position. As long as she touched the Seven Stars Formation, it would automatically draw her into its center, rendering his personal intervention unnecessary.

"Everyone is finally here, Princess Guoguo, I advise you to save your energy. I've set up this Qixing Formation for thirty years, and finally gathered all the people and things needed. The time, place, and harmony are all present. Now we just need to wait for the Seven Stars to align, and my beloved child will be able to live!" The national teacher covered his chest and slowly walked over.

“Grand Master, what on earth are you doing” Xiao Yuge noticed Qing Luo and the others were pale, likely from excessive blood loss, and had already fainted. Even adults were like this, so those toddlers… What kind of sinister formation would require such a sacrifice!

The Grandmaster calculated with his fingers, then looked up at Xiao Yuge: “There’s still one hour before the Seven Stars Align. Well, Xiao Yuge, I reckon you must have many questions in your heart. Anyway, you're going to die soon, so I might as well tell you. You must be wondering where your mother is now, right”

"Where's my mother" Xiao Yuge glared at him angrily. He definitely knew where her mother was.

"Your mother is dead."

"What did you say" Although she had mentally prepared herself, when she heard that her mother had passed away, she still found it hard to accept. She had never met her mother and hadn't even had a chance to hug her before she was gone.

"Xiao Yu Ge, let me tell you a story..." The Grand Tutor clutched his chest and sat silently on the steps, gazing deeply into the woman in the blood pool.

Princess Lan Zhao once had a red-clothed princess. From a young age, she disliked women's work but preferred martial arts. Therefore, on her fifteenth birthday when she came of age, she secretly ran out of the palace and met a man fifteen years older than her, whom she took as her master.

At that time, the man was traveling and saw her intelligence. He took her as his disciple and taught her his skills wholeheartedly. At first, the master and apprentice got along well. In the following three years, Princess Hongxi spent her days practicing martial arts and learning housework from him. When he went fishing in the river, she would play by the side. Back and forth, a subtle feeling grew between the two.

Princess Hongying was bold and fiery, so she took the initiative to confess her feelings to her master. However, the man rejected her on grounds of morality and ethics. Heartbroken, Princess Hongying returned to the palace. As luck would have it, she happened to encounter representatives from the Chiyan Kingdom who came to propose a marriage alliance. With only one adult princess under his rule, Emperor naturally chose Princess Hongying as the bride.

Princess Hongyi loved her master and naturally refused. However, she couldn't withstand the pleading of her father and mother, so she eventually agreed. When the master heard that she was going to marry, he quietly broke into the imperial palace, almost being caught. Luckily, Princess Hongyi appeared in time to save him.

Originally, the master had already harbored feelings for Princess Hong Xi. However, due to ethical constraints and his status as a master, he had always diligently suppressed his emotions. It wasn't until he heard she was going to marry someone else that he recklessly rushed into the palace to declare his affections.

Princess Hongxia secretly sent her master out of the city through a secret passage in her mother's sleeping chamber. The two agreed to elope on the road to the marriage alliance, but the emperor had long foreseen everything and sent troops to chase them. They were finally caught at the edge of a cliff. Princess Hongxia loved her master deeply and refused to marry even if it meant death. So, the two jumped off the thousand-zhang precipice together!

Although Master was seriously injured and his face was cut, he luckily survived. However, Princess Hongxia died because her injuries were too severe, ultimately leaving her beloved master.

Overwhelmed with grief at the loss of his beloved master, he wanted to follow Princess Hongxia into the afterlife. However, he received a heartening message from his own sect: as long as he gathered all the magical artifacts, set up the High and Low Formation, and harmonized with the elements of heaven, earth, humanity, there was a chance to resurrect the dead.

Then, he severely wounded his master and stole the master's treasure, the Seven Stars Lamp, and the diagram of the Seven Stars Formation. He then began to collect all kinds of divine objects and people needed for the Seven Stars Formation. During this period, he had someone carefully build this ice cave and collected men and women from various countries. Using their blood, he nurtured the corpse of Princess Hongxia in the blood pool. Beside it was a soul-gathering formation, which was to keep Princess Hongxia's soul here forever.

The Qixing Array, with its five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth as support, belongs to those who belong to gold. Those who belong to wood are the solitary stars of heaven, with the blood of yang boys and yin girls as aid. The moment when the seven stars connect, light up the Seven Star Lamp, awaken the Qixing Array, and use the priest's blood to awaken the Longxin Pearl. At that time, the world can be turned upside down, then use the Kuai Tian Mirror to transfer the good fortune of a person with good fortune to the dead, so that the dead can come back to life!

“So, you are the master, and she is Princess Hongxi” Xiao Yuge seemed to understand something when she heard this: “You did so many wicked things to bring her back to life, you are truly despicable! It seems that my mother’s death should have been part of your plan long ago.”

At this point, the Master no longer hid it from her: "That's right, people born under a death omen and celestial lone stars, as well as yang boys and yin girls are easy to find, but the most crucial person with auspicious luck is hard to come by. I traveled all over the world in my capacity as a Taoist priest but still found nothing until more than ten years ago, when I accidentally arrived in India. I first saw your mother, the holy maiden of India. After much deliberation, I figured out that the child she carried was the woman with auspicious luck that I had been searching for for decades.”

"The person you're looking for is me, but why would you kill my mother" Xiao Yuge didn't expect that her mother had been killed because she was the "Qi Yun Nu" - a rumor about her being blessed with good fortune.

"I never intended to kill your mother. I only coaxed her to Lan Zhao, planning to take you away after she gave birth. Unexpectedly, Tianzhu relentlessly pursued the loss of their holy maiden. I had no choice but to hide her in Ruoshui City's Wen family estate because the head of the Wen family owed me a life. He agreed to help me, but unfortunately, just before childbirth, your mother accidentally discovered my secret and fled that night. Of course, I couldn't let her go. She ran, and I pursued her relentlessly. In the end, she sought refuge in Ning Wangfu, and I secretly made a deal with the Ning Wangfei to have her driven out..."

"You truly deserve to die! For your own selfish desires, you destroyed my once happy family!" Thinking back to when his mother was about to give birth and he was still chasing her relentlessly, Xiao Yuge wished she could kill him with a sword.

But the Grand Master simply looked unconcerned: "It doesn't matter, as long as my son can live. Even if I have to drag the entire world down with me, I wouldn't hesitate!"

"What happened later How did you kill my mother" Although Xiao Yuge already knew what had happened to her mother in Lan Zhao, she still wanted to know how her mother ended up. Perhaps there was still a sliver of hope that her mother was still alive.ince and honored guests. Please, come in and be seated." 。When Shi Yun was no longer acting high and mighty like she did during the day, she was very polite to Xiao Yu Ge and the others. 。"Who is thi...
