She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement

"Shuangxue was also proud and arrogant, so she couldn't stand such humiliation, let alone ruin the War God Clan's reputation because of her. In the end, she actually jumped into the Black Sea and committed suicide…"

After more than a hundred years, this matter still pained Zhan Jiuxiao.

His eldest daughter was called Zhan Shuangxue.

Unlike the arrogant and domineering Zhan Jianxue, not only was Zhan Shuangxue low profile and kind, but her cultivation talent was also more outstanding than Zhan Jianxue's. Zhan Jiuxiao had once nurtured Zhan Shuangxue as his successor. She was Zhan Jiuxiao's greatest pride.

But his pride was destroyed by Sheng Pinghui.Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn ɴovelꜰɪre.ɴet

Zhan Jiuxiao shook his head and lamented, "I also know that Pinghui didn't do anything wrong. Everything was done by that fiendish cultivator. But as her father, it was very difficult for me not to take my anger out on Pinghui and hold a grudge against him. If he continued to live, what would become of the War God Clan's reputation? Who would take revenge for my daughter?"

"Shuangxue's death made me completely lose my mind. Although I knew that Pinghui was innocent, I still wanted to kill him…"

After Sheng Xiao guessed a possibility, he clenched his fists and his expression was dark as he asked, "Prime Emperor Jiuxiao, could it be that when you sealed the fiendish cultivator, the fiendish cultivator was still hidden in my grandfather's body?"

Ye Qingyang and Zhan Wuya were shocked when they heard Sheng Xiao's words.

This…

Under the sharp gazes of the four young people, Zhan Jiuxiao nodded slowly. "…That's right. When the fiendish cultivator was suppressed, he and Pinghui still shared the same body." Zhan Jiuxiao closed his eyes and sighed. "I believe you when you say that the Succubus Witch is Pinghui, because I personally injected the Demon Suppressing Eagle into Pinghui's body back then."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Wuya's eyes quivered slightly. Ye Qingyang lowered his eyes and looked at the cup of tea in front of him as the corners of his lips curled up into a meaningful smile.

After Zhan Jiuxiao walked to the round stool in a daze and sat down, he leaned his right elbow against the table and pressed the thumb of his right hand against his forehead. He kept shaking his head and sighing. "As time passed, the hatred and resentment from a hundred years ago seemed to have faded. Occasionally, when I think of Pinghui, I feel guilty. Wasn't he also a victim?"

"Shuangxue was a kind child and had always admired Pinghui, who ascended from a small world but was self-reliant and kind. Before she jumped into the Black Sea, she even reminded my wife not to resemble Pinghui. She said that Pinghui had no choice, but I lost my beloved daughter, so how could I treat Pinghui like before?"

"If Shuangxue found out that I killed Pinghui, she would probably blame me too."

Yu Huang reacted calmly when she heard Zhan Jiuxiao's confession, but Sheng Xiao clenched his fists tightly and blood trickled down his fingers.

When Yu Huang smelled blood, she looked down at Sheng Xiao's hand.

Seeing that he had scratched his palm with his nails, she was shocked and quickly grabbed his hand as she said in a low voice, "Brother Xiao, don't be like this. It has already happened. It's useless even if you blame yourself and feel sad."

Hearing the commotion, Zhan Jiuxiao glanced at Sheng Xiao's hand.

Seeing the blood between his fingers, Zhan Jiuxiao looked even more ashamed. "Sect Master Sheng, Pinghui's death was my fault. As Pinghui's grandson, you have the right to avenge him. How about this…" Zhan Jiuxiao suddenly stood up and lifted the black tiger's suede shirt, revealing his abdomen and ribs.

Zhan Jiuxiao said, "A dead person can't be revived. I can't return Pinghui to you, so I can only make up for the huge mistake I made back then with the pain of having my bones broken!" With that, the spiritual energy in Zhan Jiuxiao's hand suddenly condensed into a sharp and slender knife.

He frowned slightly and raised the long knife to stab at his ribs.

"Mentor!" Zhan Wuya's expression changed drastically and he stood up to stop Zhan Jiuxiao, but Yu Huang was even faster. She used her spiritual energy to block Zhan Jiuxiao's dagger.

"Prime Emperor Jiuxiao, what are you doing?" Yu Huang raised her head and smiled at Zhan Jiuxiao. Then, she shook her head and said, "Prime Emperor Jiuxiao, even if he was lucky enough to escape back then, when he woke up and realized that he had actually killed his mentor's only daughter and even helped the fiendish cultivator commit so many sins, he probably would have wanted to die."

"Even if you hadn't killed him, he wouldn't have let himself off. Therefore, you don't have to do this."

"He has already passed away, and it's too late to regret it, so we shouldn't use the death of an old friend to torture ourselves. We should learn from this matter." Yu Huang retracted her spiritual energy and said, "Prime Emperor Jiuxiao, please don't hurt yourself. We came this time to clear up our doubts, not to settle scores with you. If you really get injured because of this matter, how will those who don't know better discuss us if this matter spreads?"

"We don't want to be criticized again." The more she spoke, the colder Yu Huang's expression became. She looked like she was blaming Zhan Jiuxiao for making things difficult for them.

When Zhan Jiuxiao heard Yu Huang's words, he realized that his actions were inappropriate.

"Sect Master Sheng." Zhan Jiuxiao hid his long knife and took two steps back. Suddenly, he bowed to Sheng Xiao as he apologized solemnly. "Pinghui's death was my fault. I have to apologize to you. After Pinghui passed away, I got someone to remove his name from the War God Clan's disciple list because of my hatred. I will get someone to add his name to the disciple list so that his grievances can be resolved."

"As for that Succubus Witch…" After a moment of silence, Zhan Jiuxiao said," I will personally go to the inner academy to kill him. You can rest assured. "

"The inner academy will naturally make arrangements regarding the Succubus Witch. I believe it will be dealt with properly. There's no need for you to worry." Sheng Xiao rejected Zhan Jiuxiao's suggestion immediately and took the Demon Suppressing Eagle from Prime Emperor Jiuxiao. Then, he cupped his fists and bid farewell. "Thank you for the banquet, Prime Emperor Jiuxiao. The food was sumptuous and delicious. We have disturbed you today. You must be busy, so we won't disturb you anymore."

"Goodbye."

Sheng Xiao grabbed Yu Huang's wrist and pulled her away.

Ye Qingyang quickly stood up when he saw Sheng Xiao leave. After he bowed to Prime Emperor Jiuxiao, he left.

Only Zhan Wuya and Zhan Jiuxiao were left in the room.

Zhan Wuya's expression was very hesitant. For a moment, he didn't know how to break this awkward silence.

"Sigh." After Zhan Jiuxiao sighed heavily, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhan Wuya. "Do you think I'm very scary?"

Zhan Wuya thought about it before shaking his head and saying seriously, "To Senior Pinghui, your actions might have been a little cruel, but you raised me since I was young. You've treated me with great kindness and have always doted on and protected me. In my eyes, you're the most amiable and admirable person in the world."

These words came from the bottom of Zhan Wuya's heart. He didn't deny that there was a problem with how Zhan Jiuxiao dealt with Sheng Pinghui, but he affirmed Zhan Jiuxiao's contributions.
