"Senior Brother, this…" Qing Yang said dejectedly." Junior Brother, Senior Brother hasn't asked you for anything in the past few decades. This time, I'm begging you…Now that the Qionghua Sect is in a mess, we can't let anything happen again. Even if…even if we let him down, we can only do this for the stability of the Qionghua Sect."”
Zhongguang's body trembled and Su Yao seemed to be impatient. She looked at the three elders with a vicious gaze,"Elders, what are you waiting for? Could it be that at this moment, he still had a woman's heart?!”
Xuan Xiao's attack had affected the Yang Qi in his body, so his Inner Breath was surging and he couldn't move. He shouted at Su Yao,"Su Yao, don't go too far!!!”
Su Yao's back was facing him as she sneered. Zong Lian sighed and said," Xuanxiao, Qionghua Sect has hundreds of years of foundation. There are laws in the country and rules in the sect. We can't go against them." Although I feel guilty towards you today, I have no choice! If there was any other way to save you, we wouldn't have done such a thing!”" Xuan Xiao," Qing Yang also sighed." The three of us are sorry for you, but it's all for the Qionghua Sect. I hope you can understand…"
Zhongguang closed his eyes, his expression extremely pained. Xuan Xiao shouted angrily,""Elder! Elder Zhongguang! Why are you also-!" Qing Yang gritted his teeth and tightly gripped Zhongguang's arm.""Chongguang, let's…circulate our energy!”
In an instant, the stone room was filled with ice light and cold air. Xuan Xiao shouted angrily,""No, how can you do this! Stop!"
In the blink of an eye, Xuan Xiao's entire body was sealed in a huge icicle. The icicle reflected Chongguang's twisted face due to pain. Xuan Xiao felt a chill run down his spine as he shouted,""Su Yao! How dare you treat me like this!"
Su Yao revealed a smile and said indifferently,""Junior Brother, I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, what would you do if you went out and hurt people? According to the sect's rules, you have already committed a great sin by injuring a junior. The three elders and I have already let you off by letting you reflect on yourself. Why don't you know what's good for you and blame me instead?”"If you really want to hate, you should hate Yun Tianqing and Su Yu. If they hadn't escaped, how could you have ended up like this?!"”
"Nonsense!" Xuan Xiao roared. Let me out!" Su Yao turned around and bowed to the three of them,""Elders, I am very grateful that you are willing to consider the overall situation of Qionghua Faction without favoritism. You all have seen it too. Now that Junior Brother has become crazy, if we let him out, it will definitely cause a disaster! I hope that everyone will guard the secret of the forbidden land and not have unnecessary compassion!”
Zong Lian's internal injuries were affected by the circulation of his martial arts and he was also mentally and physically exhausted, coughing non-stop. Su Yao looked at him and smiled," Elder Zong Lian is not feeling well. Please go back to the sect to rest."”Zong Lian's expression was gloomy. He walked to the icicle and took out the Xihe Sword from the sword box behind him. He gently stabbed it into the icicle and turned around to walk out of the forbidden area. He did not say a word to Su Yao's thanks and Xuan Xiao's angry roar.
Seeing him walk out of the forbidden area, Su Yao turned to Qing Yang and Zhong Guang,"" Elders…" Qing Yang coldly interrupted her,""Sect Master, please allow the two of us to retire.”
Su Yao was surprised." Elder Qingyang, why do you say that? Our sect needs your help. Why are you leaving?"”"After this battle, Zhongguang and I are both physically and mentally exhausted," Qing Yang said coldly."We have long intended to live in seclusion in the back mountain and no longer interfere with the matters of the sect. Moreover, we couldn't capture Yun Tianqing and Su Yu, we didn't live up to the sect leader's trust and we really don't have the face to stay in the sect.”With that, he walked out.
Zhongguang looked angrily at Su Yao before following Qing Yang. Su Yao's figure flashed and stood in front of the two, smiling,""Elders, please stay. Our sect has suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the Demon Realm. We are in need of manpower. In my opinion, it's not too late to discuss this matter further…"
Zhongguang sneered. Qing Yang said indifferently,""Sect Master, you can rest assured that we swear in the name of our ancestors that we will never come to the forbidden area again, let alone see Xuan Xiao. I hope the sect leader will help me retire.”Su Yao smiled." Since both of you have made up your minds, I dare not stop you. However, please return to the sect and rest for a while. I will inform the disciples to send you off…"
"There's no need!" Zhongguang snorted angrily. Su Yao frowned as she left with Qing Yang. She then slowly smiled and turned to Xuan Xiao,""Junior brother, I'll take care of your Spiritual Light Jades for now. I'll also send people to set up talisman spirits in the Sword Forest. If the disciples find the whereabouts of the Su Jade and Wangshu Sword, I will let you out!”
Xuan Xiao's eyes were about to spew fire."Su Yao! I'm going to kill you!" Su Yao snorted and turned around to leave. The ice room only echoed with Xuan Xiao's angry, painful, fearful, and unwilling shouts,""Come back! Let me out!"
"Let me out!" The image on the ball of light gradually dimmed, but the sorrowful cry still reverberated in this small palace. Tian He had a sorrowful expression on his face. It was unknown whether it was because of his parents 'misfortune or Xuan Xiao's encounter. Murong Ziying shook his head, his face painful as he murmured," Sect Master…How could she do this…"
" These are Xuan Xiao's dreams," Liu Mengli sighed." They are the memories he has been recalling for the past 19 years…"" God, the war between Qionghua Faction and the demon world has caused so many tragic things…If they fight again this time, I really can't imagine…"
Meng Li nodded heavily. Her originally calm voice also revealed a trace of fear at this moment as she sighed,"" In fact, the Musing Fantasy Realm is already very weak. Out of the six Musing Fantasy Realm Guardians, only two are left. The other four died in the war nineteen years ago…If Qionghua Sect attacks again, I don't know if I, my mother, and many other clansmen can survive…"
Ziying sighed and asked slowly,""However, I heard from the teachers that it was your mother who killed our sect's sect master, Perfected Taiqing, in battle back then. In the past 19 years, the talents of our sect have dwindled, and there is no one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Perfected Taiqing. Your mother is still alive and well. Could it be that she can't win this battle with her cultivation?”At this point, she felt a little nervous.
Meng Li shook her head and said," No, actually Mother has already…" Halfway through her sentence, Lingsha beside her suddenly moaned,""Ah!" His face instantly turned extremely pale, and he felt dizzy. Once again, he felt weak all over his body. He forced himself not to fall to the ground and hurriedly squatted down carefully!
"Lingsha!" Tian He exclaimed. Ziying hurriedly squatted down to support her.""Lingsha, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"
Lingsha gritted her teeth, her body trembling. Ziying felt a chill from her hand, it was bone-chilling. " It's…it's that feeling again," Lingsha said, trembling." It's like all the strength in my body has been sucked away…It's so cold…"
"Cold?" Meng Li said in shock. " Do you want me to use incense?" Tian He suddenly thought of something and sat down hurriedly. He placed his hands on Lingsha's back. Lingsha felt a warm breath spread from her back to her limbs and bones, slightly dispelling the coldness in her body. Her face gradually became rosy. After a while, she could barely stand still. Ziying and Mengli were overjoyed to see that she was fine. Lingsha looked at the Milky Way and was slightly moved. She asked,""Tianhe, what spell is this? I feel warm, similar to Red Soul…I, I feel much better…"
Tian He scratched his head and said," I, I don't know either... As long as I think about it, my body will naturally have a breath. Sometimes it's warm, sometimes it's cold... But, as long as you're fine..." Meng Li held Lingsha's hand and felt that her body was no longer as cold as before. She looked at Tian He with relief.
Ziying heaved a sigh of relief and asked," By the way, Tianhe, the two Yin and Yang Qi made you feel uncomfortable at Mount Buzhou. How are you now?"”Tianhe said," It's okay. Sometimes it's a little uncomfortable, and sometimes it's very comfortable. But I realized that as long as my whole body is relaxed, it'll be fine. These two auras will run around randomly and disappear after running.”He looked at Lingsha and asked worriedly,"Lingsha, why did your illness suddenly flare up again?"?Is the Red Soul that the elder gave you useless?”
Lingsha forced a smile." It's alright…It's been like this for the past few days. I'll be fine after some rest…" Seeing everyone looking at her with concern, she smiled lightly and said,"" I didn't expect Xuan Xiao's Ice Congealing Art to be so powerful. Now that the savage has a divine weapon, it seems like he's going to become a hero soon."
When Liu Mengli heard this, she looked at the newly added Houyi Sun Shooting Bow on the Heavenly River's back in surprise. Then, she looked at Lingsha thoughtfully. " What is Qixia?" Tian He asked, not understanding. "I just think that if we go hunting now, we'll definitely get a lot of rewards…" Lingsha said angrily."Hey, don't go too far. If you go hunting wild boars with the Houyi Sun Shooting Bow, you might be punished by the heavens!”Tian He looked at her angry and amused expression, smiling foolishly, but suddenly a sadness welled up in his heart.
Ziying said seriously," I think it's not just because of the Ice Congealing Art. Tianhe is able to take the Flame Stone and the Three Cold Weapons that ordinary people can't touch. It seems that he himself…" Suddenly, the scenery in front of him shook. A rumbling sound came out unconsciously. It seemed that the entire Musing Illusion Realm was shaking violently.
"Oh no!" Liu Mengli said in horror. The barrier at the entrance has been broken!"
Everyone's expression changed drastically. Tian He said in surprise,""What happened? Didn't your mother say…that the barrier was very powerful?!”Meng Li shook her head and said in pain," Mother…although she defeated Perfected Taiqing nineteen years ago, in order to win by a narrow margin, she forced herself to use her demonic power in the fight. Her vitality was greatly damaged and she has been very weak ever since. Now, she is just holding on…The Musing Illusion Realm is also being netted by the double swords and her spiritual power is constantly being drained. We are all very clear that the barrier will be broken sooner or later. We can only fight to the death…"
She raised her head and said firmly,"Let's go out and take a look!" "Mother…I'm worried about her…" Lingsha said anxiously,""But there is no exit here. Your mother sent us in. How are we going to get out now?”
Meng Li's brows were filled with worry." That wizardry barrier was set up by Mother herself. Now that the wizardry barrier is broken, Mother, Mother must be injured and has no magic power to send us out. I can only try my best…No matter what, I have to go back and help Mother!”After she finished reciting the incantation, her magic power was much weaker than Chan You's. She spent a lot of effort to send everyone back to the Illusory Palace.
Just as everyone landed, they saw Chan You suddenly fall from her throne and half-kneel on the ground. Her expression was filled with pain and some anger. Xi Zhong was shocked and wanted to help her stand up. Suddenly, a white figure flashed in front of her. A man in Daoist robes with long hair fluttering in the wind stood in front of Chan You and looked at her coldly. His eyes were filled with contempt.
Tian He cried out in alarm. It was Xuan Xiao. "Are you from Qionghua Sect?" Xi Zhong was furious when he saw his clothes.! How dare you barge into the Illusory Palace!" "Lord Chan You!" What happened to you?" Chan You's face was pale. She used her left arm to support her body so that she wouldn't fall in front of Xuan Xiao. Her lips were tightly pursed, and blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth. She looked up and glared at Xuan Xiao.
Xuan Xiao smiled coldly and didn't say anything. Xi Zhong saw that he was only a few feet away from Chan You. He was afraid that Xuan Xiao would take advantage of Chan You's injury to hurt her. He suddenly shouted and extended his sleeve. He poured his True Force into it. The edge of the sleeve was as sharp as a knife and swept towards Xuan Xiao's waist!
Tian He said in surprise," Hey, don't!" Through his experience these days, he had developed a lot of sympathy for the demons in the Musing Fantasy Realm. However, Xuan Xiao was his sworn brother and his only family in the world. Seeing Xi Zhong's fast and ruthless attack, which was about to cut him in half, he could not help but scream.
There was a loud bang. Xi Zhong retracted his sleeves, his face full of fear. Behind Xuan Xiao, a huge amethyst stone was cut in half and slowly slid down.
Chan You said calmly,"Xi Zhong, it's fine. No matter how strong his spells are, it's already his limit to be able to make his spirit body appear in the Illusory Palace. He can't hurt us anymore!”Xi Zhong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this and hurriedly went forward to help Chan You up.
" Hmph!" Xuan Xiao sneered." You are the Lord of the Demon Realm?"”Chan You glared at him and said angrily,"Chan You, you don't have to pay attention to the shameless people who entered our house and slaughtered our race!"”Dark One circulated his Qi and felt a sharp pain in his chest. He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. "Mother!" Meng Li rushed over. Together with Xi Zhong, he helped her stand firm.
" You're courting death!" Xuan Xiao said coldly. Now that your barrier has been broken, your spiritual power has backfired. You must have suffered a huge injury.”Looking at the heavily injured Chan You, he said disdainfully,"Lord of the Demon Realm, for the past nineteen years, I have yearned to fight you! Back then, I thought that Tai Qing was unattainable, but you took her life so easily! How powerful was the Lord of the Demon Realm? I didn't expect to see you today, but you're really disappointing. You're just a cripple now.”
Chan You chuckled, her face full of disdain."…The rise and fall of all spirits is common sense. Today, the scorching sun and icy cold qi in your body are intertwined. I can feel the fiendish qi from far away. You're not human, you're not strange, but in my opinion, you'll definitely be punished by the heavens in the future!”
Xuan Xiao's expression turned cold, his eyes flashing with fire as he said with hatred,""There is no turning back in my life!……Nineteen years ago, she was actually frozen by an incompetent sect leader. Now, Qiong Hua is no longer the same as before. The Demon Realm was so weak that it could not withstand a single blow!”
He suddenly laughed wildly and shouted impatiently,""Lord of the Demon Realm, I'm tired of all of this. I advise you not to hide, come out and die! "Let me end this emptiness as soon as possible…" His figure slowly faded away amidst his wild laughter. "Lord Chan You, are you alright?" Xi Zhong shouted angrily and asked anxiously.”
"Mother!" Liu Mengli also said anxiously. How are you? Are you hurt?" Chan You's face was pale, but her weak voice still carried the dignity of the master of the Musing Illusion Realm," I'm fine... The barrier was broken, and the spiritual power backfired... The Qionghua Sect has already attacked. I sent Gui Xie to guard the entrance. Now, we can only rely on him... But I'm worried that he will put everything on the line..."
"Mother, your body…" Chan You waved her hand and said,"It's too late." Li-er, you don't have to worry about me…" Suddenly, he shouted sharply,""Let those humans come! Even though we demons have low magic power, we are not people who can be trampled on! " If we have no other choice, we would rather die with them than let them invade this place…The Musing Illusion Realm will never fall into the hands of those greedy and shameless humans!”
Meng Li's expression was pained as she shouted," Mother, I'm going outside too! I'll stop those people!" Before he could finish his sentence, Tianhe and Lingsha said in unison," Mengli, I'll go with you!" Ziying was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded."I…will go with you guys."
Chan You looked at her daughter and nodded heavily," Li-er, you go…If it's possible, I don't want you to take risks. But as the Musing Illusion Realm's young master, at this time, even if you die, you have to stand up and protect your people…" Liu Mengli said firmly,""Mother! I understand!" Chan You gently caressed her daughter's beautiful hair. Everyone saw that the eyes of the usually cold and dignified Musing Illusion Realm Master were filled with tears for the first time. She had just reunited with her daughter, and she had already met with such a huge change. Now that her daughter was leaving, who knew if it would be a life and death parting? Even though Chan You was usually as cold as ice, her heart was as lovely as any mother in the world. However, she was the master of a realm after all. When the Musing Illusion Realm was on the verge of death, the safety of her clansmen finally suppressed her mother-daughter relationship. She finally said in a strong voice,"…Go ahead."
Liu Mengli suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed three times to her mother. Tian He and the others understood that as a demon, she would have to go out and fight with the disciples of Qiong Hua. The danger of the situation was self-evident. Her three kowtows were probably a farewell, and her heart was filled with sorrow. Tian He suddenly shouted,""Well, Mengli's mother, don't worry. As long as I'm alive, I won't let those disciples hurt Mengli! We will definitely think of a way to resolve this battle and let the Demon Realm leave!”
"Good, good!" Chan You laughed bitterly. " No wonder my daughter…" Xi Zhong suddenly bowed and said loudly,""Lord Chan You, let me accompany the young master!”
Before Chan You could answer, Meng Li said anxiously,""No, I can't! General Xi Zhong, stay here and take care of Mother. Mother's injuries aren't light. If…General Gui Xie and I are outside, it will be enough!”Xi Zhong was stunned and felt hesitant. He had almost lost his life in the battle nineteen years ago. It was all thanks to Chan You who had saved him. Now that Chan You was seriously injured, he should be guarding her by her side. But now, the Qionghua Faction was coming at him aggressively. As the leader of the Musing Fantasy Realm, he was watching the Young Master and Gui Xie risk their lives to fight the enemies while he stayed in the Qionghua Palace. He was really anxious and couldn't make a decision.
Chan You looked at her daughter's determined expression and knew that if she forced Xi Zhong to go, her daughter would definitely worry about her and be distracted. If she was distracted during the battle, she was afraid that it would harm her. She sighed and said,"Alright, Xi Zhong, you can stay. After I heal myself, I'll go out with you to kill those Qionghua Sect thieves!”In fact, her internal injuries were so severe that she could not recover in a short period of time. The so-called " healing " was nothing more than to comfort her daughter so that she would not be worried. She would also feel that she had the help of backup and would naturally be at ease. When she fought, she would have more chances of winning and less danger.
Sure enough, Meng Li saw her mother's calm tone and calm expression, as if her injuries had stabilized and would heal in no time. She was greatly relieved, and bowed deeply to her mother, leading the three of them out.
The Musing Illusion Realm was in chaos. The roads were strewn with corpses. Most of them were the Tapir Demons that lived here. There were men, women, old, young, and all kinds of people. Occasionally, one or two dazzling white spots were mixed among the piles of corpses. They were the disciples of Qiong Hua who were dressed in Taoist robes. They were covered in bruises and wounds. They still held broken swords in their hands. Their faces were ferocious and terrifying, as if they were still fighting for the last time before they died. When Meng Li saw this scene, she was so angry that her whole body trembled. The three people of Tian He were extremely pained. Ziying slowly walked to the corpses of those disciples and sighed with pity. She reached out and closed their eyes.
Among the pile of corpses, some of the Tapir demons were heavily injured but not dead. They were still moaning in pain. Mengli and the others dragged them out one by one, healing them and relieving their pain. Those demon tapirs respected Mengli very much, but they were indescribably afraid and disgusted by Tianhe and the other two. No matter how much Mengli persuaded them, they were unwilling to accept the help of Tianhe and the other two. Mengli had no choice but to save them one by one. She let those demon tapirs whose injuries had improved a little hide in the Illusory Palace to prevent them from being harmed by Qiong Hua's disciples.
The four of them walked forward and felt that the smell of blood in the air was getting stronger and stronger. Suddenly, they saw a humanoid Mo Demon in the distance with both legs cut off and fell to the ground. A few disciples of Qionghua Sect in front of him laughed out loud. One of them put a sword on his throat and shouted,""Monster! You guys were so arrogant nineteen years ago. You didn't expect this day to come, right?”
The demon roared and cursed,"You evil thieves! Bastard! Even if I become a ghost, I will fight with your Qionghua Sect to the end! Bandits! Shameless thief!" The disciple's expression turned ruthless. He swung his sword and cut off his right arm again. He cursed,"Monster! It's not that easy to become a ghost. Tell me where the rest of the amethyst stones are, or I'll make you wish you were dead!”
Blood gushed out of the demon tapir's body, but he did not cry out in pain. He spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm at the disciple. The disciple was cursing smugly when he did not expect the demon tapir to suddenly use such a move. He hurriedly dodged. Although he avoided his face, the demon tapir's chest was spat out. He immediately flew into a rage and swung his sword at the disciple's throat. Suddenly, he felt a numbness on his head. After suffering a loss just now, his reaction was really agile. He flipped back and jumped more than ten feet. The place where he landed just now was struck by a thunderbolt and turned black. It was Meng Li's " Thunder Curse ".
Seeing the sudden change, the disciples couldn't help but take a few steps back. Meng Li and the others rushed to the front of the Mo Tapir. The three people from the Heavenly River Sect were shocked when they saw his face. They saw that the Mo Tapir was the second brother of the two Mo Tapirs that Ziying had defeated when they had just entered the Musing Illusion Realm. Meng Li recognized him and shouted in pain,""You…How are you? Are your injuries serious?" She knew that he was severely injured and there was no way to save him, but she still couldn't help but ask.
That Mo Demon had lost too much blood and was almost unconscious. When he heard Mengli's shout, he opened his eyes with difficulty and said softly,"" Young Master…It's you…" Meng Li said with heartache,""It's me, I'm here!" A glimmer of light flashed in the demon tapir's eyes as he said intermittently,"" Young Master…Big Brother and I…To protect the Musing Illusion Realm…We…didn't…embarrass our dead parents…"
Tears streamed down Liu Mengli's face as she said softly," You guys…are really good…Especially you, very brave…" That Mo demon nodded his head in relief, his breathing gradually weakening."Be strong, you must hold on! I'll treat your injuries now! Where's your master? Where is he?"
"Young Master, there's no need to waste your energy…Be careful of these humans…Master, Master, he…" As he said this, his head suddenly tilted and he exhaled his last breath. He was dead.
Meng Li caressed his cold body and slowly stood up. Looking at the group of Qionghua Sect disciples, her beautiful eyes burned with anger, and her eyes were filled with hatred that was not inferior to Chan You's. Tian He and the others had spent so much time with her, but they had never thought that a gentle and gentle girl like Meng Li would have such an angry expression on her face. They only heard Meng Li curse angrily,""You guys, you guys are too much! All of you get lost! Get out of the Illusory Realm!"
"Mengli…" The disciples were stunned by the scolding."Eh? Isn't this Junior Brother Ziying? And his three martial nephews?" "Weren't that wild brat and that female thief expelled from the sect?" Why are you still following Junior Brother Ziying? Could it be that they had already taken advantage of the chaos to kill their way in and wanted to snatch the credit?”
The disciple who swung the sword just now finally managed to stand firm. When he looked carefully and saw that Meng Li actually attacked him, he was furious and shouted,""Martial Nephew Liu, what are you doing? Could it be that you are like that Yun brat, disregarding the sect rules?!”Most of these disciples were from Ziying's generation. They were used to pointing at disciples who were lower in seniority than them because of their higher seniority. They thought to themselves that even Ziying had to call them senior brothers. How dare you juniors shout at me, let alone attack me? They were furious and unconsciously put on airs when they spoke.
Before he finished speaking, another disciple shouted with a vigilant expression,"That's not right, Senior Brother Yuan Yue. I was the closest to that demon just now, and I heard him call Martial Nephew Liu something like 'Young Master'. Could it be, could it be that she's also a demon here?!”Yuan Yue came to a sudden realization and said angrily to Mengli,""So you're also a demon! No wonder you sneaked an attack on me just now and spouted nonsense to us!”
Liu Mengli was furious and was about to leap forward. At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard. Not far away, two disciples walked over. One of them shouted,"Martial Uncle Yuanyue, Junior Brother Huaiying and I are here on the orders of the sect master to help you eliminate the demons.”The person who spoke had a clear voice. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Huaishuo!
"Huaishuo, you…" Huaishuo turned around and saw Ziying and the others. He was surprised and happy."Martial Uncle Ziying! Heavenly River! Junior Sister Han! Junior Sister Liu! You, why are you here?”
Yuan Yue nodded slightly and said in a deep voice," The two of you came at the right time. Come with us to eliminate the evildoers!"”He turned to Zi Ying and shouted,"Junior Brother Zi Ying! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and stab that demoness!”
"Demoness?" Huaishuo was shocked. Uncle-Master, how could there be a demoness here? Are you talking about Junior Sister Liu? Martial Uncle Ziying had already said that there was no demonic aura on her body. How could it be-" Since when is it your turn to talk here?”Yuan Xu's words were clearly scolding Huaishuo, but he was secretly threatening Tianhe and the others. He glared at Huaishuo with dissatisfaction and then looked at Ziying. Seeing his bitter expression, he was extremely unhappy and said coldly,""Why? It seems that you didn't notice this demoness sneaking into the sect and being your martial nephew for so long? If he didn't make a move now, could it be that he was still thinking about some old relationship with this demon?! If you don't want to make a move, then move aside and let me make a move!”He raised his long sword and stabbed towards Liu Mengli!
With a loud clang, Yun Tianhe and Murong Ziying's swords blocked his sword at the same time. Tianhe shouted angrily,""You dare to hurt a strand of Mengli's hair!”The Yuanxu Sword was hit by the two people's strength at the same time. His arm trembled and he hurriedly pulled back the long sword. Seeing that Tian He dared to threaten him, his anger surged. Just as he was about to shout, Zi Ying held his sword with both hands and pointed the tip of the sword to the ground. He bowed slightly to Tian He and said bitterly,""…Senior Brother, please go back and leave the Musing Illusion Realm.”
As soon as Ziying said that, the disciples beside him, except for Huaishuo and the other two, shouted angrily,"Alright! Murong Ziying, you're acting so weird today. It turns out that you've already degenerated and become the evildoer's accomplice!”"This kid usually pretends to be serious. I didn't expect him to be the same as Yun Tianqing back then.”"I can see that none of the four of them are good people!”"Damn it! We won't let you off!"
Lingsha couldn't bear to listen to it any longer. She protected Mengli while replying loudly. Zi Ying's expression was as calm as ever. His hands were still in a cupped posture. He raised his head and stared fixedly at Yuan Xu. Yuan Xu snorted angrily and sneered,"Murong Ziying, do you know what you're saying?”
"Senior Brother, please leave this place!" Ziying said in a deep voice.”Yuan Xu looked at him and suddenly laughed out loud. He said fiercely,""Alright, Murong Ziying, it seems that you have colluded with the evildoer and betrayed our sect! Now, we have to avenge the old Sect Leader and our fellow disciples who died nineteen years ago. Since you dare to betray our sect and join the evildoers, then either you die today or I die! There was no need to be hypocritical anymore.”
"Senior Brother…!" Zi Ying was shocked.”A white light flashed in front of their eyes, and a light sound was heard. In an instant, the two swords had already collided. Yuan Yue had used all his strength in this attack, but Zi Ying had been quite lenient. He could not block it at once and had to withdraw his sword to dodge. Ziying saw that he was so heartless and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He took a deep breath and braced himself. He didn't dare to give in and used all his strength to resist the enemy.
When the disciples saw that Yuan Yue had made his move, they did not wait for the two of them to determine the winner. They immediately took advantage of their numbers and surrounded Meng Li and the other two. Tianhe and Lingsha could not stand it and immediately fought with them. Amidst the ear-piercing sound of weapons clashing, Huaishuo's terrified shout could be heard,""Wait! Don't do anything! You can't make a move! That, that was Martial Uncle Ziying! And Junior Brother Yun and the others are all our own disciples! Everyone, let's talk things out!"
However, would those people listen to Huaishuo's advice? Yuan Yue and Zi Ying were locked in a tight fight. At this moment, the two of them were very close to each other. Yuan Yue's sword attacks were like a storm, and Zi Ying had no time to use his immortal spells. He could only try his best to resolve Yuan Yue's attacks with his sword attacks. As soon as Yuan Yue had the upper hand, he did not spare anyone. The moves on his sword became more and more ruthless. In terms of cultivation, he was originally inferior to Zi Ying, but now he seemed to be risking his life. Every move was a fatal move. In a battle between experts, the most important thing was the aura. With Yuan Yue's current aura, even someone with a profound cultivation like Zi Ying could not help but fall into a disadvantage for a moment. The situation was quite dangerous. Fortunately, both of them were using the sword techniques passed down from the Qionghua Sect, so they knew each other's moves very well. They had sparred several times before. Although Ziying was at a disadvantage, he could still calmly deal with Yuan Yue's killer moves.
Yuan Yue couldn't win in dozens of moves, he was furious but also secretly fearful. He was extremely afraid of Zi Ying's cultivation, so he used his sword technique faster and faster. Even if he couldn't kill Zi Ying, he wanted to make it so that Zi Ying couldn't use the profound immortal techniques of the sect. Ziying saw the killing intent in his sword and thought to himself, I have no grudge with you. Even if I protect the demons, why do you have to force me so hard?
His heart was downcast, but his hands did not stop at all as he continued to dismantle Yuan Yue's sword moves. Seeing that Yuan Yue's moves were too fast and ruthless, he gradually paid less attention to his own defense. He suddenly dodged a move and swung his long sword at a flaw in Yuan Yue's sword technique. Yuan Yue was shocked and drew back his sword to defend. At this moment, his attack stopped unknowingly. Ziying took this opportunity to focus on counterattacking. After another ten moves, both sides were already attacking and defending each other. Yuan Yue saw that Ziying had the power to counterattack and was even more frightened. His momentum was greatly weakened and his sword moves gradually became flustered.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred moves had passed. Zi Ying finally gained the upper hand. However, Yuan Yue was still fighting with all his might and had no intention of stopping. He knew that this battle was a draw and that it was impossible. With a clear whistle, he exerted his True Force and the Sword Qi around his sword suddenly increased by several inches. Yuan Yue was shocked and also urged the Genuine Qi on his sword to resist it. However, he had already used up more than half of his internal energy in the fight. He could not resist Ziying's extremely sharp Sword Qi. He felt a chill in his heart. His clothes had been cut open in front of his chest, and blood was seeping out from his skin.
Ziying leaped back and stared at him, saying in a deep voice,""Senior Brother Yuan Yue, there's no need to fight anymore! Please go back!" Yuan Yue was shocked and furious. He looked at the wound on his chest, but he did not dare to fight.
On the other side, the disciples surrounding Meng Li and the others felt their arms go numb when their swords clashed with the Heaven-Destroying Sword. Their Inner Breath was in chaos and they could only avoid it to the side, not daring to fight. Lingsha performed a delicate movement technique, and her two short swords pierced through it. The disciples thought that she was a " female thief " with low kung fu, so they had underestimated her. As a result, the acupuncture points on her arms were stabbed by Lingsha. She had no strength to wield her weapons, so she could only turn around and escape. Seeing that these six or seven people were about to be defeated by Tian He and Lingsha, a shrewd disciple saw that he was no match for Yun and Han. He saw that Meng Li was paying attention to Tian He and would occasionally help him with immortal spells, completely ignoring his own safety. Suddenly, he shouted and pounced towards Meng Li. The long sword in his hand changed into four or five sharp killing moves, aiming to kill Meng Li with one strike.
Lingsha saw this and exclaimed," Mengli, be careful!" With two clangs, the disciple's sword was knocked away. Yun Tianhe's sword was only a few inches away from his head. Murong Ziying, who was standing beside him, suddenly flew up and blocked his sword.
Tian He looked at Zi Ying and saw him shake his head slowly. He sighed bitterly. The disciple had escaped death and was so scared that his legs went weak. He fled far away empty-handed. Ziying sighed,"Let him go." He turned around and asked Meng Li,"Meng Li, are you alright?"”"Ziying, I'm fine, thank you…" Meng Li said gratefully.
All of a sudden, a golden light sword shot from behind. It was the " True Form Sword ". Yuan Yue was holding a sword spell in his right hand. His cold eyes were filled with unconcealable pride as he stared at Murong Ziying fiercely. He had been charging for a long time. He took advantage of the moment when Ziying was distracted to attack. This light arrow was condensed by all the Genuine Qi in his body. Ziying would not be able to block it even if he was fighting with all his strength, let alone at this moment!
"Ziying!"
Han Lingsha's face was pale with fear. Ziying had also noticed it, but it was too late. The light sword was as fast as lightning, and Ziying couldn't dodge it in time. It was about to pierce through his heart!
"Oh…"
At this critical moment, the sword of light flew less than five feet away from Ziying, but was actually blocked by something. Everyone only felt that a white shadow suddenly appeared in front of the dazzling golden light. Accompanied by a deep cry of pain, the sword of light suddenly disappeared.
A white-robed disciple stood stiffly at the spot where the light sword disappeared. His face was pale as he stared at Yuan Yue in a daze. His face was filled with fear and confusion. His right arm trembled slightly as he tried his best to cover his chest with his hand. Suddenly, with a bang, he fell to the ground. A circle of red slowly seeped out of his chest and stained his snow-white Taoist robe. It was a shocking sight.
He was Huaishuo!
In an instant, everyone was stunned. Yuan Yue looked at Huaishuo, who had fallen to the ground, with his hands trembling. He never dreamed that Huaishuo would block a sword for a traitor of Qionghua Faction. Was he crazy?
"Huaishuo!" With a clang, Ziying's sword fell to the ground. He knelt down on one knee beside Huai Shuo, leaning his head against his body as he cried out in pain. Tian He, Lingsha, and Meng Li also rushed over. The moment just now had come so abruptly and so tragically. The three of them felt as if they had fallen into a nightmare. Their eyes widened as they looked at the dying Huai Shuo, unable to believe what had happened before their eyes.
Huaishuo opened his eyes slightly and looked at his Uncle-Master. Suddenly, he smiled in relief." Uncle-Master…You're fine…That's great…" Ziying suddenly became furious and roared in pain,""What are you doing? Do you want to die? "You-" Her originally clear voice was hoarse from grief.
Huaishuo's voice was weak, but his face was filled with a satisfied smile." I'm fine…Luckily…you're fine, Uncle-Master. Otherwise, Xuanji would have scolded me to death…Hehe, I've finally protected Uncle-Master for once…When we left the mountain, no matter what happened…it was always Uncle-Master who protected us…"
"Huaishuo, don't say anything!" Tianhe said painfully. " We'll treat your injuries immediately…" Liu Mengli checked his pulse. After a while, the last trace of hope in her expression gradually dimmed. Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. She shook her head sadly and could not help but sob. Ziying's eyes were bloodshot. He tried his best to transfer his Genuine Qi into Huaishuo's body. However, Huaishuo's heart had been pierced by the sword of light. The Genuine Qi in his body had dissipated and his meridians were about to dry up. If Ziying tried to transfer a little Genuine Qi into Huaishuo, it would be like pouring a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. How long could he last?
Huaishuo smiled and said softly," Uncle-Master…You don't have to waste your effort…I know…It's useless…That sword hit the central meridian. Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal can't cure it…" He forced himself to speak, which affected the wound in his heart. He suddenly coughed violently and coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood. His tone was still pretending to be relaxed, but his breathing gradually weakened. Tian He and the others felt as if someone had stabbed their hearts with a sword. They were in so much pain that they couldn't speak.
"You…Why did you rush out?" Ziying shouted angrily.!”His voice was filled with pain. Huaishuo seemed to be frightened by Ziying's shout. He paused for a moment before saying softly," Uncle-Master…I, I am just a useless person…As long as Uncle-Master is fine…"
Ziying cut him off angrily."What useless person! Don't you dare say that!" Huaishuo shook his head gently." Uncle-Master, I'm serious…When I was very young…I was brought up the mountain by Master to cultivate. There were so many children in the village…I was the only one who was chosen by the Sword Immortal…Everyone envied me…""Huaishuo…you, stop talking. Take a rest. When your injuries are healed, you can talk as long as you want…"
Huaishuo shook his head and continued," No…Let me say it…In the future…I won't have another chance…Ever since I went up the mountain…I often miss my family…Especially…my little sister in my hometown…It's been almost ten years…She's probably as old as Xuanji now…""…I want to go home and take a look…But…I don't dare to disappoint Master and Uncle-Master's expectations…After so many years…my cultivation…still hasn't improved at all…"
" You…Why didn't you say so earlier?" Ziying said sadly." You're already good enough among your peers…I should have let you go home a long time ago…"" Hehe…Uncle-Master, I didn't expect you to lie…After I die…Uncle-Master…please…bring my ashes…back to my hometown…You don't have to be sad…Actually…this is good…Don't blame others…I hope that in my next life…I won't cultivate anymore…and live the most ordinary life…"
" Huaishuo..." Ziying was in extreme pain and could not express it in words. Huai Shuo struggled to look in the direction of the Qionghua Faction. His weak voice revealed some uneasiness,"" It's just…I'm sorry, Xuanji…She has to…take care of herself…Now…I'm afraid there aren't many senior and junior brothers…who can take care of her anymore…Ever since the sect master came out of seclusion…many disciples…can't stand our sect…doing things…and…have…left…Xuanji…she…she…"
When Huaishuo mentioned Xuanji, his voice became lower and lower, and his breathing became extremely weak. When he mentioned the second " she ", his voice was almost inaudible. His lips moved again, and Ziying and the others listened carefully, but they couldn't hear anything. His clear eyes were still fixed on the Qionghua Faction outside the Demon Realm, as if he was watching the lively, naughty, and cute junior sister who had made him happy and made him care for her with much effort. The last expression on his face was still the same as when he first met Tian He and the others, the one who was concerned and helpless about Xuanji.
"Huaishuo! Huaishuo!"
Tianhe shook Huaishuo's body desperately. He couldn't believe it even in his dreams that Huaishuo had passed away just like that. The scene when the four of them went down the mountain, the voice and smile of the kind, gentle, honest, and upright Qionghua Sect disciple, flashed clearly in his mind as if it had happened yesterday.
But Huaishuo had left just like that! He had actually died under the sword of his own martial uncle!
What was the difference between this scene and the world's most terrifying nightmare?!
