On that day, the Clear Moon Peak was engulfed in flames, and seven cold swords were plunged into Ye Zhao's body. They were her seven most beloved disciples.
She had once risked severe inj...
Chapter 53 Jiang Weiqing Becomes a Demon
Qingyue Peak was silent and still, with only Jiang Weiqing's pleading voice echoing over and over again.
He had been kneeling outside the door for six hours. The blood on his knees had dried and stained his blue clothes, and his voice was hoarse from shouting.
"Master... Master, I truly know I was wrong... Please forgive me, please give me another chance..."
In the cave, Ye Zhao sat cross-legged with a frown on his face.
She was meditating with her eyes closed, but was disturbed by the pleading voices outside the door.
She endured it again and again, but her face finally turned cold and a light suddenly appeared on her fingertips.
The spiritual secret was condensed in an instant, and a silver spiritual wind suddenly broke through the air, carrying with it a fierce force, like a thunderbolt from the sky, and swept out of the cave in an instant, hitting Jiang Weiqing directly!
"Bang!"
Jiang Weiqing felt as if his chest was hit hard by a mountain. He flew backwards on the spot, blood spurting out of his mouth and nose. He fell to the ground with a thud and rolled on the ground for several times. He finally stopped at the end of the stone steps.
"Ugh... cough cough!"
Several disciples from Qingyue Peak passed by and stopped when they saw this. They looked at Jiang Weiqing who was lying on the ground with different expressions.
A disciple sneered, "Hey, isn't this Jiang Weiqing? Didn't you leave Qingyue Peak and go down the mountain to seek the truth? What's going on? You're not doing well out there, so you're crawling back like a dog?"
Another person stood with his arms folded, mockingly saying, "You were the one who wanted to leave, and now you have the nerve to come back and beg the Peak Master for forgiveness. How shameless!"
"I heard he'd been kneeling for a whole day, but the Peak Master didn't even look at him and just knocked him down with one palm. Ha, that was really satisfying."
"Don't you see what kind of person he is?... How can he be worthy of being a disciple of Qingyue Peak?"
Every word was like a knife piercing Jiang Weiqing's heart. He dug his fingers into the ground tightly and clenched his teeth so hard that they almost broke.
Humiliation, anger, and unwillingness, all kinds of emotions exploded in my chest.
The disciples sneered for a while, but seeing that he didn't even have the courage to talk back, they were too lazy to ridicule him anymore. They spat and turned away.
Jiang Weiqing was left alone, kneeling at the end of the stone steps. But just when he was extremely humiliated,
A weak spiritual power rose from the depths of his dantian, and a certain acupoint that had been blocked for a long time was finally opened. The barrier of the fourth level of "The True Art of Capturing the Spirit" was actually broken through at this moment!
Jiang Weiqing was stunned.
Reacted immediately.
It seems that Ye Zhao's palm strike just now replenished some spiritual power in his dantian, helping him break through the fourth level of the Soul-Capture Technique!
He was surprised and delighted, and sat up with a start, a smile on his face.
"Breakthrough? I actually, actually broke through directly with Ye Zhao's palm?"
He looked towards the top of Qingyue Peak, and his gaze suddenly became hot.
"Ye Zhao, you would never have thought... you clearly wanted to drive me away, but ended up helping me break through the bottleneck!"
"Now that I've broken through the fourth level of the Soul-Captivating Technique, it won't be long before I can crush Song Zhi... By then, you'll regret not keeping me here today. You might even beg me to go back!"
There was a twisted look of pride in his eyes.
However, before he could recover from the ecstasy of the breakthrough, a sudden sharp pain exploded from deep within his dantian!
“Ugh—Ah!!”
Jiang Weiqing covered his abdomen in pain, his whole body twitching violently, blood foam flowing from his mouth and nose, it felt like thousands of insects were gnawing under his skin, and every inch of his flesh and bones was in so much pain that he was almost cramping!
“What’s going on…what’s going on?!”
Before he could react, he noticed that the skin on his palms began to crack and wrinkle, followed by his arms and neck... In just a few breaths, wrinkles gradually appeared on his once handsome face, and his hair turned from black to gray, and then from gray to completely silver, hanging down without any luster.
In an instant, he changed from a young man in his twenties to an old, ugly, and skinny old man!
This scene was also seen by several disciples passing by not far away.
"ah!!!"
"Ghost! There's a ghost!!!"
"That's...that's Jiang Weiqing?! How...how did he become like this?!"
Several disciples were terrified, as if they had seen some evil ghost or monster.
Jiang Weiqing's appearance at this moment was completely different from his former charm. His wrinkled skin and almost sunken face... He didn't even look like a human!
Jiang Weiqing held his face in his hands, remembering the old Taoist priest patting his chest and vowing that if he could cultivate the Body-Capturing Technique to the fourth level, he would be able to leverage his strength to break through realms, reshape his bones, and be reborn, like a new life!
But what about now?
Rebirth bullshit!
How could he be reborn? He had clearly transformed into a monster that was neither human nor ghost!
"You old bastard! You, you're a liar!" Jiang Weiqing was furious. He covered his face and rolled over on the ground, cursing angrily, "Your whole family will get psoriasis! I hope your ancestors' graves will emit black smoke! You made me... made me become like this. Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"
The more he cursed, the more shrill his voice became.
It was not until a cold wind blew by that Jiang Weiqing suddenly woke up for a moment and thought of something.
"Ye Zhao... Yes, only she can save me! She must have a way..."
He staggered towards the gate of Qingyue Peak as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
He had just run to the outside of Qingyue Peak when he stepped on the slippery stone steps and fell heavily in front of a pair of plain white embroidered boots with a "thump".
“Tsk.”
A cold female voice came from above, with a hint of chill.
Jiang Weiqing slowly raised his head, and in his blurred vision, he saw a woman in black clothes with beautiful eyes and eyebrows looking down at him. Her face was not as stunning as Ye Zhao's, but she was also pretty and elegant.
It turned out to be... Fairy Wangyue!
Jiang Weiqing, who had already despaired, rekindled his hope.
Yes, how could he forget about the Moon-Watching Fairy!
Ye Wange squatted down and said calmly, "You've been caught in someone else's puppet-refining technique. If nothing is done, your entire body will fester and you'll die within three days."
Jiang Weiqing's face suddenly changed, and he cried, "Please, fairy, save me!"
"Of course I will save you." Ye Wange said with a half-smile: "Come with me."
Jiang Weiqing was overjoyed. He rolled and crawled to his feet, stumbling after Ye Wange's back, and kept saying, "It's important that you save my life. I will repay you a hundredfold in the future!"
In fact, after seeing Ye Wange, Jiang Weiqing was no longer worried, because he knew that Ye Wange would definitely find a way!
Moreover, it will definitely help him become stronger.
In his previous life, although he had never taken Fairy Wangyue as his master, he made great progress with her after his cultivation entered the Nascent Soul Realm.
Especially after he broke through to the God Transformation stage, the two of them were almost inseparable.
Fairy Wangyue is also one of the few people in the Sword-Asking Sect who eventually entered the Spirit Transformation Realm.
It seems that the Moon-Watching Fairy was sent by God to save him!
Jiang Weiqing was jumping for joy and secretly swore in his heart.
"I want to become strong! Strong enough to make everyone look up to me! I want Ye Zhao to regret his decision the next time he sees me!"
“No matter how difficult it is, I will climb to the top again!”
