Chapter 68 Chapter 68 "Be good, tell me, I'll come pick you up...

Meng Yaoguang was born with a beautiful face, but she was also born with great strength.

The nine-section steel whip struck down with the force of thunder, showing no mercy at all.

She knew that Yao Ning was no ordinary person, and she had never underestimated this opponent.

At the same time, a wind blew in the valley, rolling over the grass and sweeping across the water. The water rushed over the rocks and splashed water droplets in the sunlight.

Time slowed down infinitely, hundreds of water droplets reflected the colorful sunlight, and suddenly a rustling sound was heard, and in an instant they turned into solid frozen hail grains.

The hailstones shot out, and there were a few muffled groans and a very loud collision sound in the air.

The tiny grains of hail dispersed into a mist of water.

The invisible enemies were all located by this move. Chen Qian took a glance and pushed Wang Mian away dozens of feet with one palm. Then his body turned into a flash of lightning, so fast that it was dazzling.

A white light flashed, and a series of dull sounds of people falling to the ground were heard in the open space. The elite soldiers selected by Meng Yaoguang didn't even have time to scream before they died.

A powerful and domineering pressure enveloped the valley. Shen Qian's brows were cold and his eyes were gentle, but his attacks were unprecedentedly ferocious and violent.

In a flash, he was at the edge of the pool. Tingni pointed to the empty space in front of him where no human figure could be seen, and thick blood dripped from the edge of the sword.

Chu Liangxiu, wearing an ice-blue long dress, landed next to Shen Qian from a high place, and like him, raised her sword towards the open space.

"Meng Yaoguang, you are indeed a liar."

Chu Liangxiu spoke, her voice still flat and without fluctuations, but those who knew her knew that her words were full of disappointment.

Chen Qian looked into the void in front of him. There was no sound. The man chose to remain silent.

He said, "A Ning has always regarded you as a close friend."

A long silence fell, no one spoke, and no one took action.

But they all knew that when they took action, they would show no mercy.

The wind swept across the valley, blowing their clothes, but it was only a brief moment, but they all knew that everything was irreversible.

After a moment, a weak voice sounded behind him: "Master, Master..."

Chen Qian's heart moved, and he suddenly turned his head. The woman by the pond was wearing white clothes and had black hair, but her face was full of panic.

Xianxian bit her lip, not daring to look at Chen Qian, and looked like she was about to cry.

The murderous intent floating around disappeared, and Chu Liangxiu's eyes became stern: "Stop! Don't run, Meng Yaoguang!"

She tiptoed out and chased after him. The invisible restrictions on the open space were suddenly lifted, and people were lying all over the ground. Their bodies were mutilated, their limbs were messy, and their blood gathered into thin streams and flowed into the stream.

Chen Qian's heart sank, and he stared at Xian Xian intently: "Where is she?"

*

Yao Ning escaped a wave of pursuit and found a secluded cave in the deep mountains where few people went, where he curled up and lay down.

She held her belly, piled all her clothes up to her abdomen, and bent her body to protect that area.

She felt cold, as if she was in an ice cellar, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. The anger in her chest not only did not subside due to the cold, but instead intensified.

If she thought about it carefully, she found that this murderous aura had been there since the attack on the Immortal Alliance Conference, but by the time she boarded the Immortal Boat, she could clearly sense it.

Now, this desire seems to have broken free from its shackles and is running rampant unbridled.

After escaping from Xuanqing Sect and being hunted down by righteous cultivators, she had to restrain herself again and again to barely resist the urge to tear those people into pieces.

This was the third day of her escape.

For some reason, even though she changed her appearance and figure, and kept changing her location, there was always someone who could see through her and kept following her closely.

She threw away everything she could, and in the end, all that was left was a set of coarse cloth clothes she bought at the market, the ice flower necklace given to her by her senior sister, and the tracing mirror that had been repaired by Shang Linran.

Even so, those people still chased Yao Ning like hyenas sniffing a scent, forcing him to flee in panic.

She gritted her teeth in the darkness, silently enduring the biting coldness on her body, and recalled the past bit by bit.

She thought of Meng Yaoguang.

Many years ago, during the Immortal Alliance Competition, Meng Yaoguang stood with one hand raised high, looking heroic amidst thunderous cheers.

At the banquet, the wine was flowing and the cultivators from the Nine Continents gathered around her. Even I, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help but be attracted by her.

In the ruins of the Brahma Temple, smoke and dust filled the air, and she was drowned in the angry crowd.

"Why are all the people infected by the evil spirit, but you are the only one who hasn't changed at all?"

She was so smart that she noticed something was wrong before anyone else.

"Confused...heart..." Yao Ning shivered and muttered, "It's confused heart."

Otherwise, how could a dark and perverse person like her develop a liking for a woman of noble status who was Shen Qian's childhood sweetheart and received much of his attention?

"It's fake, all fake."

In Tianshu Sect, she said she was very good and that she liked her.

At that time, Yao Ning was alone, had no friends, and had never been cherished by anyone.

She thought she was not worthy, that everything she wanted belonged to others, and that she had to fight for it, and she had to do whatever it took. Then a noble princess told her that she had been loved without doing anything.

She has friends.

That was a precious memory in her life.

It turns out to be fake.

A chill seemed to come from his heart. Yao Ning curled up into a ball and laughed out loud in the deserted cave.

There was warmth on my cheek.

Yao Ning wiped his face, his throat trembling, and his voice choked with sobs as he comforted himself over and over again: "It's okay, it's okay..."

It seemed that all Meng Yaoguang did was just going with the flow. When the Brahma Temple underwent drastic changes, she was also infected by the chaotic energy and showed signs of being possessed by a demon.

The person behind the scenes is not Meng Yaoguang.

Yao Ning knew that he had entered the game unknowingly. He thought that everything was his own choice, but he seemed to be controlled by someone from beginning to end.

The funny thing is that she has become a chess piece and is now in exile, and she doesn't even know who is playing the chess piece, and she doesn't even have a suspicious guess.

She knew that there was probably something strange about her, which was related to the chaotic energy. The person behind the scenes could manipulate the sect to hunt her down. Perhaps the so-called "person behind the scenes" hat had already been put on her head.

She was a scapegoat, a pawn sacrificed to save the chariot.

There was a slight pain in his abdomen. Yao Ning froze for a moment, then sat up suddenly, looking at his still flat belly in panic and helplessness.

She swallowed and looked around, but she couldn't see anything clearly because of the darkness, so she could only grope with her hands.

A crisp creaking sound came from beside me.

It's a dead leaf.

Yao Ning gathered the dead branches and leaves around her and piled them on her abdomen like a nest. Her fingers could not stretch freely due to the cold, so she rubbed her hands hurriedly. When they finally felt warm, she carefully covered her lower abdomen with them through her coarse cloth and the leaves.

"It's okay." She lowered her voice, "I will protect you... Mother, I will protect you."

When the word "mother" came out of her mouth, Yao Ning was stunned for a moment, as if at this moment he finally realized the fact of her pregnancy.

She is pregnant.

She has a child.

At that moment, Yao Ning felt a wonderful feeling he had never experienced before.

It seemed as if the world was so vast that she was no longer alone.

Yao Ning curled up in a corner sheltered from the wind again, closed his eyes, and circulated his spiritual energy throughout his body. After a while, the coldness in his body gradually dissipated, and heat seemed to spread from his abdomen to his limbs and bones.

My consciousness gradually faded, the strings in my mind became incoherent, the images became fragmented and the colors faded.

In a daze, Yao Ning thought about what Shang Linran said: if the chaotic energy is not removed after infecting people, their consciousness will gradually collapse and eventually be assimilated into part of the chaos.

Yao Ning could clearly realize that her consciousness was becoming blurred.

Even so, the spiritual power circulating in the body has not stopped.

She murmured, "I will protect you."

On the second day, light filtered through the tangled vines and seeped into the cave.

Yao Ning slowly opened his eyes and sat up.

My brain seemed to be covered with a layer of wet cloth, and thinking became heavy and difficult.

Yao Ning stood up with the help of the stone wall and released his spiritual sense.

After taking it back, he pursed his lips and his expression turned cold.

On the outskirts of the remote mountains, the crowd dispersed and entered the mountains from all directions, like a spread out net, gradually approaching Yaoning.

In the cave, Yao Ning touched her belly, and there was a little more tenderness in her eyes: "Mother, can I take you to see the scenery?"

She grasped the Fuguang sword, cleared the traces in the cave, and stepped into the forest.

The people who were tracking Yao Ning wandered around in the mountains and gradually lost their way. At the same time, Yao Ning followed the stream that appeared and disappeared from time to time and turned out of the mountain from the other side.

There was an official road outside the mountain. She took a look and stepped on it.

Among the pedestrians in groups of three or four, she walked quickly, her figure and appearance had changed, and she looked like a nimble country woman.

After walking for half an hour, she turned and stepped onto a small path.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly and the chirping of cicadas could be heard from the woods beside the road.

When Yao Ning felt dizzy, a water curtain suddenly appeared in the void before his eyes.

She paused abruptly and looked at the suspended water curtain expressionlessly.

In fact, for a moment, Yao Ning didn't recognize what it was. He thought it was a surprise attack from the enemy and subconsciously tightened his face.

After a moment, her drowsy consciousness slowly began to function, and she recognized it.

Tracing mirror.

In the tracing mirror, Chen Qian frowned and looked at her, his voice trembling slightly.

"A Ning." He said gently, "Where have you been?"

Yao Ning stared at Chen Qian in the mirror for a long while, so long that Chen Qian could hardly maintain her gentle expression. Then she slowly said, "I rebelled against the Xuan Qing Sect."

She became the target of public criticism.

The righteous cultivators will hate her to the core, and if the demon world is also infected, the silkworm will not let her go.

She alone bore the blame for her betrayal of Emperor Xuan Qing.

"Let the Sect Master announce to Jiuzhou that I have evil intentions. Xuanqing Sect and Yaoning are irreconcilable."

The sect leader must understand what she means. They have been master and disciple for many years, so they have some tacit understanding.

Sacrifice the pawn to save the chariot, give up her, and protect the Qing clan first.

"Aning, what are you talking about?!" Chen Qian said angrily, "Where are you? Tell me—"

He took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and coaxed: "Be good, tell me, I'll come pick you up."

A face appeared behind Chen Qian. Even though it was still as pale as usual, Yao Ning could still see a little weakness from Chu Liangxiu's serious injury.

Chu Liangxiu said coldly, "Come back quickly. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said."

Yao Ning clenched his fingers tightly.

The chaotic energy spreads, and both the clear and turbid energy in the world will be assimilated, completely cutting off the path to ascension.

If I were the source, the biggest obstacle to your lifelong ascension, Chen Qian, would you hate me?

Yao Ning didn't ask, but took a last look at the two people she cherished through the water curtain, then cut off the tracing mirror.
