Chapter 294

*Plop*

His body was pinned to the ground by the long sword.

Si Baixue felt a sharp pain in his neck. Lying in the yellow sand, his gaze followed the blade of the sword and he saw a pair of cold eyes, filled with the gloom and threat of something broken.

And there was also a look of fear.

It really doesn't look like the eyes of a celestial being.

"What...did you say?" Li Ziqing asked incredulously.

Si Baixue suddenly burst into laughter, ignoring the sharpness of the sword at his neck and slamming the wound open, causing it to bleed profusely.

“I said, Aning the second incarnation.”

"I'm going to die too."

Without abandoning his sword, he closed the distance by an inch.

"Shut up."

A terrifying aura crept into the eyes of the Immortal Venerable.

Si Baixue continued her insistence, severing the last taut thread of hope in Li Ziqing's mind:

"The Immortal Venerable probably doesn't know yet."

"Ah Ning, the Meng Po of the Underworld, was once your youngest disciple—"

"Feng Yingning".

Si Baixue curled her lips into a weak smile.

Given his current fate, he's bound to drag a few people down with him to hell.

"She's going to die."

"This time, even the Celestial Venerable doesn't need to take action."

Upon hearing Ying Ning's identity, Li Ziqing seemed to freeze completely.

Taking advantage of Li Ziqing's momentary lapse in consciousness, the azure demonic power attacked the Unyielding Sword in his hand. As the sword fell to the ground, the demonic power directly blasted Li Ziqing's body a hundred meters away.

A trace of crimson blood spilled from the corner of Li Ziqing's mouth, her eyes filled with despair and resentment.

How could it be? It's her.

He found her in the mysterious realm.

She summoned karmic fire, and a dragon coiled around her; her face was truly unforgettable.

she...

Is it Aning?

...

If it's Aning...

Does she not want to acknowledge herself?

The metallic taste in my throat was finally unbearable.

Blood kept gushing from Li Ziqing's mouth. He had already lost most of his immortal soul and spirit, and now his body was unable to suppress the injuries in time. He was just barely holding on.

But Si Baixue's demonic power ultimately injured him.

Li Ziqing's body swayed precariously, and his breath grew weak.

The malevolent energy emanating from the eerie realm instantly enveloped his heart. His cold eyes were shrouded in darkness, and Li Ziqing could see nothing but hear the seductive voice of another version of himself:

“Look.”

“Li Ziqing, you clearly found her before.”

"You were willing to have your immortal soul devoured in order to find her."

The evil voice within the immortal soul seemed to sympathize with him quite a bit:

"But she wouldn't even acknowledge him."

"You've made so many efforts, but Aning is unwilling to come back to your side."

Li Ziqing forced herself to maintain a mostly clear mind:

“Ah Ning… naturally has her own reasons.”

He knew this from what happened back then.

Driven by love, he became greedy and angry, attempting to keep her by his side by forging a celestial bond. Later, he presumptuously placed her on the Cliff of Confined Immortals to protect her. From beginning to end, he never asked her what she thought.

"But back then, Wen Chaosheng also had feelings for her." The voice was full of wickedness.

"Those who are dead have no further connection with us."

"Ignore it."

Li Ziqing still refused to give in, but the evil energy within him was not about to let his prey go so easily.

"But now, look at the demon race in front of you, Li Ziqing, guess what his relationship is with A Ning?"

"You should be able to sense that he has a contract with someone from the underworld."

The evil aura gradually bewitched them.

Li Ziqing declined to speak further.

"Why have you struggled for so long? You and I are one. Did you think I only appeared in the Ghost Realm?"

"Li Ziqing, you know that."

“I’ve been inside you ever since you killed Aning.”

"It's because you didn't find her in the den of demons."

No.

That's not how it works.

He clearly went to look for it.

He went to the demon's lair thirty-one times, each time leaving behind a trace of life, all for the sake of his young disciple whose fate was unknown, so that one day...

If she is still alive, if she is in danger.

If there were a guardian spirit protecting her, she would have a better chance of survival.

Thirty-one times.

Thirty-one ways of life.

But the Demon's Lair was unfathomably deep, and he still couldn't find her.

......

He went to find her.

But I still want to say sorry.

......

Li Ziqing was caught in an extremely painful struggle, unaware that he was gradually losing control of his body.

And the evil voice struck down with a heavy hammer:

"You killed Aning."

She will not forgive you.

"What are you still insisting on? Do you still think you're some high and mighty master? Do you think she'll always be by your side?!"

"My Lord Immortal, you've already lost her once. You know what it feels like to lose her, don't you?"

Li Ziqing's expression gradually became confused.

And the malevolent spirits whispered the terrible truth:

"The demon said that Aning is going to die."

"Get out of my way!" Li Ziqing covered his head, terrified by the voice in his mind.

"Lord Immortal."

"You couldn't save her last time, but I will this time." Evil spirits were eroding his broken immortal soul, while deeper darkness was still beckoning to Li Ziqing.

"This time, I can save her."

"My lord, I can save her."

"Listen to me."

"I will keep her by your side."

......

She's going to die.

This time, she will die.

This is her last life.

"you..."

"Can you save Aning?" Li Ziqing's rationality wavered for only a moment before his eyes became empty and crazed, and the evil energy in his immortal soul surged.

"Let her..."

The rest of the words were not finished.

The evil aura then devoured every inch of his mind with lightning speed.

Hahahaha.

It laughed wildly:

"Fine, fine, Li Ziqing, I'll grant your wish."

"I will keep Feng Yingning by your side."

His Dao heart was unstable, and his immortal soul was damaged.

Now, I don't even have the strength to keep going.

Therefore, when the demonic energy swept in overwhelmingly, the last trace of divine consciousness of this high-ranking immortal was completely erased.

Those cold, clear eyes were covered with a layer of murderous bloodlust, and the demonic pattern between his brows gradually became clearer. The man exuded an unstoppable demonic aura!

His snow-white robe still fluttered in the wind and sand, but he looked mad, his bloodshot eyes filled with insatiable greed.

The space of the Eternal Desolation Cave became chaotic.

Within the secret realm, the situation suddenly changes!

A massive surge of demonic energy erupted from the Myriad Life Realm, causing the Immortal Realm to tremble violently. As a result, all the spirits of the realm began to cry out in sorrow toward the trial site.

They were weeping for the Immortal Venerable's descent into demonic possession.

The supreme ruler of the realm.

He perished in the Wanji Buddhist Cave.

......

When Li Ziqing, who had fallen into demonic possession, picked up the Unabandoned Sword again, the sword seemed to resist. However, he simply and ruthlessly used his fierce demonic energy to suppress the sword's restlessness.

He drew his sword and walked towards Si Baixue.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you." A mocking smile played on Li Ziqing's lips.

Although it was still the same face, he was now surrounded by black energy, and his blood-red eyes held only unfathomable demonic power.
