Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 1399: Sin

After stepping out of the side hall, Tianxuan picked up Master Wu squatting under the corridor, took him into Xia Xin’s meditation room, and had him use Xia Xin’s phone to contact the Xuanmen members one by one, reminding them to be careful.

Recently, the news of Xuanmen disciples going missing in Dangshan had yet to reach the ears of the Xuanmen families.

Upon learning this news, the Xuanmen families panicked and hurried to contact their disciples, but none could be reached.

Especially unable to reach Bai Changfeng and others.

Everyone was aware that something was amiss.

The entire Xuanmen was consequently thrown into turmoil.

Jiangli had no time to pay attention to the outside news, quietly sitting alone in the side hall; she suddenly covered her forehead, as visions once again appeared before her...

Grotesque corpses, wailing souls, Father God’s disgust, and Mother God’s abandonment...

Everyone relentlessly accused her.

"The Celestial Maiden has killed so many beings, she deserves severe punishment!"

"The burden of sin is heavy, and the guilt is deep, she must be severely punished!"

"Anomalies appeared at her birth, it was a bad omen all along!"

"The anomaly that day finally manifested. I said long ago she should have been sealed—"

She saw Father God and Mother God, high above.

"How can you blame us?"

"You lost control on the battlefield, massacred countless beings, and should be punished in Beihai for three thousand years. What should I, your Father God, do? Cover for you?"

"..."

"You should obediently accept the punishment, how can you bear resentment and attack the Heavenly Palace? How can you resent your Father God and Mother God?"

"All of this is your sin, the sin you brought upon yourself—"

Each word, like steel nails, pierced into Jiangli’s heart.

In no time, she felt battered and bruised, her heart long riddled with holes, bleeding profusely.

The pain... was unbearable. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Jiangli felt she might have died a thousand times over.

She was immersed in the bloody scene.

No idea how much time passed...

She heard someone calling her.

"Ping Yi, come back, come to me—"

Someone called her by a name from long ago.

To be precise, it was not really a name.

Since birth, she was despised, and thus had no name.

Everyone outwardly called her the Celestial Maiden, but secretly called her a fierce ghost.

Only one person said she looked good in green, and often called her by these two words.

Not having heard this name for a long time, Jiangli was somewhat dazed.

But then, she heard someone calling again.

"Lili, I’m here, don’t fall asleep—"

Then, someone embraced her.

Jiangli shuddered, slowly opened her eyes, and saw Fu Shiyan had returned.

On the table beside, there were a few simple home-cooked dishes.

Jiangli was dazed for a moment, then asked hoarsely, "What time is it?"

"Three in the afternoon." Fu Shiyan asked gently, "Did you just fall asleep? You slept for about an hour or so."

Jiangli glanced outside, the sun shone brightly, she rubbed her temple trying to ease the headache, and said, "I didn’t realize I fell asleep."

Seeing this, Fu Shiyan replaced her fingers and rubbed her temple, easing her headache.

"Eat something before sleeping again. It’s hard to sleep well on an empty stomach, eat a little more and I’ll keep you company."

Hearing this, Jiangli nodded.

The strength in Fu Shiyan’s hands was moderate, and very soon Jiangli’s headache eased.

After a while, she and Fu Shiyan went to eat.

Tianxuan and Master Wu did not come.

Jiangli did not call them either.

She quite wanted to have a meal alone with Fu Shiyan.

Tianxuan and Master Wu also seemed aware of what was happening in the side hall and did not disturb them.

Fu Shiyan’s cooking was still the same as before.

But to Jiangli, it had been a long time since she had tasted it.
