Chapter 0257: Daughter of the Demoness

Qin Yun had already pushed open that door and was about to enter when the old dragon bull suddenly flickered and appeared behind him, releasing a powerful force that enveloped him.

"Senior, what are you doing?" Qin Yun couldn't move and was extremely frightened, as his Nine Sun Spirit Soul was exposed.

"Kid, how did you obtain your Nine Sun Spirit Soul? Not to mention you, even the immortals from the Immortal Desolation wouldn't be able to enter the Burial Immortal Ground. You definitely couldn't have gone there, so tell me quickly, how did you get your Nine Sun Spirit Soul?" The old dragon bull was anxious and asked hurriedly.

Suddenly, a gentle and pleasant voice came from the corridor inside the golden door, "Old Bull, don't pressure him. I gave him the Nine Sun Spirit Soul!"

The emaciated body of the dragon bull trembled violently and knelt down immediately, "Young Miss… Young Miss, when did you come out?"

After the force that enveloped Qin Yun disappeared, Qin Yun also hurriedly entered the corridor. He too was greatly startled. The gentle and pleasant voice from earlier was indeed Xie Qirou's.

"Old Bull, I'll explain it to you later. It’s too complicated. Just rest well for now," Xie Qirou's voice came from the corridor.

Qin Yun walked quickly down the golden corridor. The golden crystal door gradually closed, and the old dragon bull didn't follow up. Only his voice was heard, "As you command!"

The daughter of the so-called Demoness, buried in the Burial Immortal Ground, with the Demoness being the master of the dragon bull, and the dragon bull addressing Xie Qirou as Young Miss!

That meant Xie Qirou was the daughter of the Demoness, but she wasn't the one buried in the Burial Immortal Ground?

Qin Yun walked to the end and opened the door, entering a somewhat cold crystal stone room.

The crystal stone room was surrounded by a faint silver-white glow. In the middle, there was a light golden crystal bed. A woman sat cross-legged on the bed, her back facing Qin Yun. Her long hair reached down to her waist, draped over the crystal bed.

"Xiao Yun, don't come near me!" Xie Qirou sensed Qin Yun's approach and gently called out, "I’m in a dangerous state right now. I'm afraid I might hurt you."

"Elder sister, was it because of that despicable Empress Ye and her cronies?" Qin Yun was very angry and said, "I've already dealt with all of them!"

"It's not them, but it's somewhat related to them. Anyway, it’s all in the past now," Xie Qirou's voice, filled with joyful laughter, said, "I’m so glad you made it here. You've grown so fast, much quicker than I expected."

"Elder sister, it's all thanks to the Nine Sun Spirit Soul!" Qin Yun looked at the string of black beads on his wrist and asked, "I obtained a mysterious pattern in the first bead. What's inside the second bead?"

Xie Qirou said, "I don't know. I could only open the first bead, which originally contained these patterns. I'm not good at this, so I left it inside for you. I didn’t expect you to grasp it so quickly and decipher the star chart."

"Little Meilian told me that the Wanxing Lake at Lang was beautiful at night, so I went to take a look and discovered the star chart," Qin Yun smiled, "Little Meilian misses you a lot and wants to meet you!"

"She'll definitely get to meet me in the future!" Xie Qirou chuckled lightly, "Seeing that you all are doing well makes me very happy. Your mothers would also be very happy if they knew."

"Elder sister, what really happened to my mother's death? I, Little Meilian, Yuelan, Yuemei… our mothers all died mysteriously, related to the Burial Immortal Diagram, but I don't think it's that simple," Qin Yun felt sad as he remembered his mother.

"Your mothers can be revived… They were just… their souls were trapped inside the Burial Immortal Ground. As long as their souls can return, they can reshape their physical bodies in the future," Xie Qirou sighed softly, "This is all my fault. If I hadn’t shown up in that small village, so much wouldn’t have happened."

Qin Yun stood at the door and didn't dare to move forward. He listened carefully to Xie Qirou.

Xie Qirou paused and continued, "You should already know that I am the daughter of the Demoness, right?"

Qin Yun nodded, "But you should be in the Burial Immortal Ground!"

"That's true, but my soul was reincarnated, right in the small village where your mother lived. At that time, my memories were fuzzy, and it was only in recent years that they gradually recovered! When we obtained the Burial Immortal Diagram, there were a total of four. Each of us had one, and inside each Burial Immortal Diagram, there were treasures. Two of them contained the Nine Sun Spirit Soul and the Nine Yin Spirit Soul. Those two diagrams were obtained by me and your mother."

Xie Qirou sighed again, "It was all my fault for having fuzzy memories back then. Otherwise, Little Meilian's mother wouldn't have been mistreated in the Tian Qi Imperial Palace. Only you and Yuelan's mothers lived well, but in the end, they met the same fate. Their souls were devoured by the Burial Immortal Diagram and sent to the Immortal Bone Burial Ground."

"Why did this happen?" Qin Yun clenched his fists. His mother had died in such a manner.

"The Burial Immortal Diagram was created by my mother. If I were to successfully reincarnate, the Burial Immortal Diagram hidden among the stars would fall down and be obtained by me, allowing me to regain my strength and eventually open the Burial Immortal Ground."

Xie Qirou said, "However, later on, someone found that star. That person couldn't obtain the Burial Immortal Diagram inside but could place a curse, causing the souls of those who obtained the Burial Immortal Diagram to be sucked away."

"Who is that person?" Qin Yun clenched his fists.

Xie Qirou said, "They are extremely powerful, a dominant figure in the Immortal Wilderness! In short, the Nine Sun Spirit Core and Nine Yin Spirit Core are no longer inside the Burial Immortal Ground, but your mothers' souls are still trapped there. As long as we can rescue them, I have a way to bring them back to life."

"Elder sister, you were once a Grand Tutor, why were you buried in the Burial Immortal Ground? Are you really a fairy?" Qin Yun was very happy to hear that Xiao Yuelan and the others' mothers could be resurrected.

Xie Qirou was amused by Qin Yun's words and laughed lightly. "In a way, yes! But for now, you don't need to worry about me. I'll be fine soon! And you, don't rush to the Burial Immortal Ground without sufficient strength. It's extremely dangerous there. You carry the important task of resurrecting your mother; you can't take such risks."

"Elder sister, were you very powerful before?" Qin Yun thought that Xie Qirou's father must have been incredibly powerful, and perhaps even the creator of the Burial Immortal Ground.

Xie Qirou replied, "You could say that! There are many other things left inside the Burial Immortal Ground, including many legacies, which is why so many people covet it. However, that was the intention of its creator—to lure many people to their deaths, providing the Burial Immortal Ground's array with a large number of souls."

Qin Yun wanted to walk over and see Xie Qirou's beautiful face, but he didn't dare.

"Elder sister, when will you recover?" Qin Yun asked.

"It's hard to say for now, but I'll be fine soon. Don't worry." Xie Qirou said softly, "You must remember, without enough strength, don't go near the Burial Immortal Ground."

Qin Yun nodded heavily, "I'll remember that!"

"By the way, elder sister, what is the relationship between Blue Spirit Star Palace's creator, Lan Xiao, and this Crystal Hall?"

"He was my mother's disciple, specializing in Star Martial Path. He was a person with great potential. I wonder what has become of him. My mother seemed to have assigned him some tasks, which is why he hasn't returned here for many years." Xie Qirou sighed lightly, "I hope he's alright, but I'm afraid my situation might involve him."

"What kind of tasks?" Qin Yun asked hurriedly, sensing that Xie Qirou still had many untold secrets, especially those concerning her.

"Don't ask too much! If you become strong enough in the future, I'll consider whether to tell you." Xie Qirou chuckled, "You little troublemaker, if you knew too much, you wouldn't focus on your cultivation peacefully."

Qin Yun smiled, "Elder sister, I'm really happy to see you again. Especially knowing that my mother can be resurrected, I'll work hard to become stronger and bring my mother back to life."

"I'm very happy to hear that! I originally planned to teach you some cultivation techniques, but I think there might be more suitable techniques inside the other beads of the Nine Sun Spirit Core. Also, I'm worried that my techniques might cause you trouble. If I get the chance in the future, I'll see if you're suitable to learn my techniques." Xie Qirou said.

"Yes!" Qin Yun secretly looked forward to opening the second bead of the Nine Sun Spirit Core to see what treasures were inside.

"Then you should leave this Crystal Hall now! It's best not to come back. I need to rest in peace." Xie Qirou said reluctantly.

Qin Yun sighed inwardly and said, "Elder sister, the next time you see me, I'll be much stronger."

"That’s for the best. Goodbye, little cloud!" Xie Qirou's gentle laughter echoed.

"Goodbye!" Qin Yun exited the room, and the door closed automatically.

As he walked out of the golden corridor, he saw Old Long Niu waiting outside.

"Young master, how is the young mistress?" Long Niu was very curious and asked.

"She should be fine, I guess." Qin Yun was somewhat annoyed because Xie Qirou had hidden many things about herself.

"Old man, come inside. I have something to tell you! Xiao Yun, you should head back now!" Xie Qirou's voice came from inside, and the old man Long Niu entered the corridor trembling.

Qin Yun sighed inwardly and returned the way he came.

Although he had learned many things about Xie Qirou, he was still confused, especially about why she was buried in such a terrifying grave. And who was the person who built that grave?

After spending several days in the Ten Thousand Star Lake, he finally returned to the Star Sun Treasure Tree.

As soon as he returned, Du Gui came over with a pigeon, saying, "There's a message sent by a flying dove. The spirit dove said it's for Qin Yun. Take a look at the message yourself."

Qin Yun took the pigeon and removed a small note from its leg. Opening it, he saw a line of beautiful handwriting.

"Outside Star Profound Martial Academy, North Star Inn, Room 20, Qin!"

It was a message from Xiao Xuanqin, inviting him to enter the Tian Xiao Tomb.
