Chapter 110: Blood Rain Hidden Injury He has been trapped in the blood rain of seven years ago...

"What a fool's dream!"

Si Junjian's face was as gloomy as water, demonic power surged around him, and scorching heat waves gathered again!

The huge fireball was like a red sun falling from the sky, leaving the poisonous insects lurking in the darkness with nowhere to hide.

“Swish——”

A fireball suddenly shot out, Ji Ling dodged and retreated, the poisonous insects scattered in all directions, but were still hit by the flames. For a while, there was a continuous "sizzling" sound in the air.

Ji Ling showed a look of regret on her face, but at this time the fireball was already approaching her. She used all her spiritual power, but was still hit, and immediately let out a cry of pain!

There was murderous intent in Si Junjian's eyes, and he pounced forward in the blink of an eye!

He raised his right hand high, and his sharp, demonic fingers pierced Ji Ling's heart!

"don't want--!"

"stop!!"

Ji Meng's cry and Gu Congxing's voice rang out at the same time, and a sharp cold light suddenly appeared in the dark night, but was blocked by a golden light the next moment.

Thick dark clouds dispersed, and the cold moonlight shone down, illuminating the murderous scene on the ground.

The Whale-Slaying Sword went straight to Ji Meng's neck. Ji Meng was covered in blood. He had just forcibly activated his spiritual veins. He approached Si Junjian's side like lightning, and the black scimitar was only one foot away from him.

Si Junjian's sharp claws were just above Ji Ling's heart meridian. If he moved just an inch forward, he would take her life.

Everyone's movements froze at this moment. If any one person took a move, the entire body would be affected.

The suppressed Ji Meng's throat rolled and he bit his lower lip tightly.

In this silence, Gu Congxing suddenly spoke.

"Si Junjian, don't kill her yet."

"What?!"

This unexpected statement drew everyone's attention to him. Si Junjian frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Gu Congxing still maintained the action of my sword. He glanced at Ji Ling and Ji Meng and said seriously, "I have something to ask them."

Ji Meng's eyes turned slightly, and she moved her body almost imperceptibly. The next moment, the Whale-Slaying Sword had pressed on her artery, leaving a trace of blood.

Gu Congxing's voice was cold: "If you want to die, I can also grant your wish."

"No! Don't kill Xiao Meng!"

Ji Ling actually ignored Si Junjian's sharp claws and immediately screamed, "Whatever you want to ask, I'll tell you! Don't hurt her!"

Gu Congxing immediately asked, "Is your patriarch Xie Qingnian?"

Ji Ling's expression changed slightly, but she still agreed reluctantly: "...Yes."

"The corpse insect you just mentioned, was it made by her?"

Ji Ling gritted her teeth and said, "Yes. So what?!"

Gu Congxing's eyes were slightly cold.

It was indeed the Ji family.

In that case, the corpse puppet that attacked the Demon Realm last time was the work of Xie Qingnian.

Since Xie Qingnian was Xuanyuan Chu's disciple, he must have accepted his instructions, but...

"Just now you said that Xie Qingnian didn't intend to refine the corpse Gu, but was forced to do so? Was she forced by Xuanyuan Chu?"

Ji Ling's expression changed suddenly when she heard that. She lowered her eyes and said nothing, as if she was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. Unexpectedly, Ji Meng spoke calmly at this moment.

"Yes. The Patriarch's sister was forced to refine corpse insects, and her cultivation has been damaged and is almost exhausted."

"Xiao Meng?!"

Ji Ling was surprised, but Ji Meng remained calm: "This attack was our own decision. If we can capture the Demon King, Sister can stop."

Si Junjian sneered, "How courageous!"

"...Since I have already failed, I will accept death or destruction. But I beg you, don't kill Ji Ling. She is the future of the Ji family." Ji Meng's expression was calm. She looked at Gu Congxing with a deep gaze.

She is serious.

Ji Ling cried out in pain again. Gu Congxing and Ji Meng looked at each other for a moment, and then moved their wrists slightly.

"No!! Xiaomeng——!"

The sword flashed, and the broken black hair scattered in the air.

Ji Meng's eyes widened slightly, and the figure of Gu Congxing sheathing his sword was reflected in her pupils.

"you……?!"

"Gu Congxing!?"

Ji Ling and Si Junjian's voices rang out at the same time. Gu Congxing looked around and said in a clear voice:

"Ji's Xuannv, you may have known this for a long time, but you have always been unwilling to admit it in your heart—"

"Your enemy is not us, but someone else."

Ji Meng's usually calm expression suddenly broke, revealing a look of horror. Ji Ling moved her lips, wanting to say something, but gritted her teeth and turned away angrily.

The expression of the girl in front of him kept changing, but in the end, she seemed to take off her adult mask, revealing her unwillingness and vulnerability.

"...So what! What do you know? That person's strength is the strongest in this Hexu Continent! No one can shake him!"

"If it is really unshakable, why would you force your disciples to refine corpse poison and create an army of corpse puppets?" Gu Congxing said slowly.

"! This...!" Ji Meng was choked by his words and didn't know how to refute.

Gu Congxing grinned, his dark eyes reflecting the bright moonlight, which was breathtaking.

"Besides, what if the enemy is powerful? Only the weak will bully the weak. The strong will naturally draw their swords against the stronger ones!"

He was full of fighting spirit: "Xuanyuan Chu is the perfect opponent for the final battle!"

Ji Meng was suddenly speechless, her breathing paused briefly, and she immediately withdrew her gaze from him.

Why is my heart beating so fast?

"Hmph." Si Junjian snorted lightly, retracted his claws, and walked to Gu Congxing's side.

Ji Ling immediately ran to Ji Meng and stuffed another healing pill into her pocket.

"then."

Gu Congxing raised his arm and a red pill flew out.

Ji Ling took it and asked, "What is this?"

"Illusionary Spirit Pill. After a cultivator takes it, they can change the appearance of their cultivation according to their inner thoughts. Since Xie Qingnian has reached the state of out-of-body cultivation, it should not be difficult for him to pretend that his cultivation is scattered."

Ji Ling and Ji Meng were both extremely surprised, and even Si Junjian couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gu Congxing.

Gu Congxing raised his lips and said, "Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you."

Ji Ling stared at the Huanling Pill for a moment, then carefully put it in his arms.

"...Thank you." The two girls said in unison with sincere expressions.

Gu Congxing raised his hand, they nodded slightly, and then turned and left, supporting each other.

After walking a few steps, Ji Meng suddenly turned around and said, "I heard that some corpse puppets were sent to Youbeizhou."

Gu Congxing immediately frowned and asked, "Where exactly are we going?"

"Sorry, we don't know the exact location."

Ji Meng responded like this, and the spiritual power in his body moved slightly, dispersing like purple smoke.

The figures of the two girls gradually disappeared in the smoke, leaving only the last words softly spoken.

"If you encounter a silver butterfly, don't chase it away."

The figures of the two people completely disappeared, leaving only a few silver butterflies fluttering around and disappearing after a while.

Gu Congxing clenched the hilt of the sword, a thoughtful look on his face.

Traveling to Beizhou... not only are there the Gu and Yuan families, but it also borders the Demonic Realm.

More importantly, Master is also in Youbeizhou now...

Could it be that Xuanyuan Chu noticed something?

"Hello." Si Junjian's voice suddenly sounded, pulling Gu Congxing back from his deeper and deeper thoughts.

Si Junjian stood beside him, his long orange tail swaying and touching the hem of Gu Congxing's clothes - of course, no one noticed.

"Aren't you afraid that if you don't eradicate the problem this time, there will be endless troubles?"

"Eradication of all evil is essential, provided it's genuine evil." Gu Congxing stared ahead, his voice soft, "What you think is no different from what I think, isn't it?"

Otherwise, when they turned around, Si Junjian could kill them with just one strike.

"……snort."

Si Junjian turned his head away and was about to leave when Gu Congxing grabbed his arm.

He immediately tried to break free, but Gu Congxing held on tighter and quickly lifted up his long sleeves.

"Don't move, I just saw that your wrist seems to be injured..."

Just when Si Junjian attacked, he seemed to see several scars on his left wrist.

The wide sleeves were lifted up, and Gu Congxing took a closer look and saw a hideous scar across his left wrist.

However, they were not new wounds, but dark brown old scars, so dense that at first glance it looked as if they were about to cut the left hand from the arm.

Gu Congxing's heart sank: "You——"

"! Let me go!"

Si Junjian suddenly exerted force and broke Gu Congxing free, and even his long tail exploded upright.

His expression suddenly turned cold, and he shouted angrily, "Don't come over here," and turned and left quickly.

"Si Jun Sword!"

Gu Congxing called him immediately, but the red shadow moved faster and faster and disappeared in just a few leaps.

"Master Gu."

Hearing footsteps and a low voice behind him, Gu Congxing immediately turned around and saw that the Lord of the Underworld had returned.

"I was led far away by some corpse puppets and returned too late. Are you and your Highness the Saint Lord injured?"

"I'm fine, but Si Junjian..." Gu Congxing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you know about the old injury on his wrist?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Hell fell silent.

He stared at the direction where Si Junjian disappeared, thought for a long time, and finally said: "Since you asked, then I don't have to hide it."

"Seven years ago, the mad prince was sent back to the demon realm by a cultivator named Lan Jue. Yin Hou and I exhausted all the rare treasures in the demon realm and finally restored him to his original state."

"But after he regained consciousness, he immediately went to look for information about you. When he learned that you had self-destructed, he immediately decided to die with you."

Gu Congxing's breathing suddenly stopped.

"The demons struggled mightily to stop him, and I even knocked him unconscious before he finally stopped. It wasn't until Yin Hou contacted Lan Jue that we learned you might be reborn... After that, His Highness decided not to commit suicide."

Gu Congxing's throat rolled. He wanted to ask many questions, but when the words came to his lips, he could only ask in a trembling voice: "So, what happens next?"

The Lord of Hell stuck his spear into the ground and spoke in a deep voice.

"For some reason, he began collecting all kinds of ancient illusion arrays in the cultivation world. We thought he was going to use them on his enemies, but he used them all on himself."

"He threw himself into the illusion array as if torturing himself, gritting his teeth to resist the array's power. If he lost consciousness, he would simply break his left hand to use the severe pain to stay awake."

"After nearly a hundred trials, no matter how advanced the formation was, it could no longer make him lose his mind."

Gu Congxing's chest seemed to be filled with sand, becoming heavier and heavier, and even breathing was painful.

Left hand...

Seven years ago, he was confused by Xuanyuan Chu's ancient magic array, and it was his left hand that stabbed himself.

It turned out that he was not the Demon King who lived comfortably in the demon world.

He has been trapped in the bloody rain of the past, alone and isolated, and has never been able to escape.
