Chapter 92 She Lives
Chapter 92
Since the reincarnation wells in the nine regions and twelve countries were all built by powerful people, and now they are destroyed, then we can capture cultivators to rebuild them!
If one is not enough, then have a hundred. If a hundred is not enough, then have thousands and millions!
Ying Ji captured all the cultivators she saw, not knowing that the seven cultivators she had just captured were going to Gan Sheng.
Of course, although she knew about the Sky-Tearing Formation, she did not know what it was doing, and she did not know that the people she had just captured were going to help the Sky-Tearing Formation.
She squatted by the stream and washed the blood from her hands.
This blood does not belong to those venerable ones, but to the nightmare demon.
She had just used her increasingly sophisticated demon-refining techniques to kill the Nightmare Demon that had come after her to claim the Poison Spider Fruit. And the Nightmare Demon would soon become her powerful puppet weapon, just like the Black Python.
Whenever Ying Ji thought of the poisonous spider fruit, she would think of the scene where Jian Feng held the poisonous spider fruit and dispersed its spirit in front of him.
Just then the wind came and made things more chaotic, blowing the ribbon with the little silver bell tied to it forward, and the soft ribbon brushed against her cheek.
Yingji took a deep breath. Lately, she didn't want to think about Jianfeng, nor did she want to think about Mujin and Bajiao. Her life was short, and she had too little time to waste on nostalgia.
Yingji stood up and looked around with narrowed eyes.
Gansheng was truly too empty. Looking around, there was nothing to be seen. Darkness was approaching, and at night, this place became the coldest place in the world.
Yingji did not stay long and left Gansheng in a hurry.
At the same time, in the meeting hall, the cultivators gathered together and were arguing.
It was a crucial moment before the grand formation was activated, and everyone wanted to seize the opportunity to cultivate, avoiding unnecessary complications. They were puzzled as to how those cultivators had been captured by Ying Ji, after all, she was a mortal without spiritual power.
"He must have practiced some evil magic." someone said.
"I don't think it's going to cause any big trouble. Maybe those friends were just temporarily deceived. They'll sort themselves out and join us soon."
Over the years, there have been mortals who were unwilling to be inferior to others and sought out evil ways, but no one could achieve anything. Without spiritual power, there is no way to cross the gap.
"Since you mentioned my daughter, there is no need to hide some things." The Emperor of Duxue Country walked out of the crowd.
He raised his hand and waved it, and a round bronze mirror appeared in mid-air. After a "ding" sound, a picture gradually appeared on the bronze mirror.
First, there is a scene where Yingji kills the former emperor of Beicang with her own hands.
There was an uproar in the crowd.
Someone from the Beicang Kingdom shouted angrily, "So she was the one who killed our late emperor, but she's now smearing our Majesty, accusing him of patricide! She's ruining his reputation!"
The people of Beicang were furious and kept denouncing.
Kou Yuze was also there today, frowning and pursing his lips as he listened to his subjects complaining about his wrongs. He looked at the image in the bronze mirror, feeling a sense of relief that his grievances had been redressed.
The scene in the bronze mirror changed, and it turned out to be the scene of Ying Ji killing Xue Zhonghong.
"She even killed her own brother!"
The Emperor of Duxue Kingdom shook his head sadly: "This is just the beginning."
Everyone was puzzled, but soon understood what Du Xueguo meant because the bronze mirror immediately showed the scene of Yingji killing her biological mother, Xue Zhongyu.
The crowd that had been discussing angrily just a moment ago fell silent.
Although killing siblings is an unforgivable crime, it is not uncommon. However, killing one's own mother is a true heinous crime that goes against human ethics.
Finally, someone broke the silence, saying in a definitive tone, "This witch must have learned some kind of evil magic! She's completely lost her mind and doesn't recognize her family!"
Angry discussions broke out.
Master Daozhen was not here today, so Wuchen was entertaining everyone on his behalf. He looked at the image in the bronze mirror and listened to everyone's discussions, his brow furrowed.
This is a blood mirror, openable only by blood relatives. The image in the mirror is unmistakable. But... this woman was chosen by his beloved disciple. If she were truly an unforgivable villain, would Kong Fan really throw himself into it? Could love truly blind Kong Fan's eyes?
Should he believe the image in the mirror or believe Kong Fan?
A sweet laugh echoed, and the Nine-Tailed God appeared unnoticed. She put on a charming face again, twisting her slender waist and saying with a smile, "What a lively scene! This little girl said something I didn't like, so I'll join in the fun too."
She exhaled lightly, and a small bubble rose into the air. The bubble gradually grew larger, and after the water rippled, a human figure appeared in the bubble.
It was the scene where Kong Fan hugged Ying Ji and Ying Ji held a scimitar to stab Kong Fan in the back.
"This witch!"
"She actually has evil intentions towards someone like Kong Fan!"
Kou Yuze stared at the scene, unable to describe his feelings. So she treated Kong Fan the same way? For some reason, he felt a tinge of joy.
Now, even Wu Chen's face darkened.
"Because..." Jiuwei stretched out his words, "She is refining monsters. She has been collecting the souls of dead monsters. If she succeeds, all the soul-destroying wells will collapse, and all the monsters will become her puppets. The monster army will trample on every blade of grass and the world will be in chaos."
The art of refining medicine was forbidden, known only to a select few. Some in the crowd were stunned, some angry, and still others bewildered. Those who knew the art of refining demons explained it to those around them who didn't.
Jiuwei added slowly, "As far as I know, she has already obtained eight of the Nine Items for Demon Refining, and this last item is exactly what Kongfan needs to survive. Huh? I heard that your Sky-Tearing Formation is inseparable from Kongfan?"
Kou Yuze suddenly had an idea and understood why Ying Ji approached him and coaxed him.
Ling Jiayan was also there today. He recalled his time with Yingji; her behavior was indeed consistent with the Nine Demon Refining Objects. He frowned and turned to look at his master. Venerable Fu Feng's face was expressionless, and Ling Jiayan couldn't decipher his master's intentions.
"Everyone," the Emperor of Duxue Nation spoke again, "If I hadn't learned today that the cultivators who came to support us were harmed by her again, I would not want to expose such a family scandal to everyone. But today, the truth has been revealed, and I can no longer endure it. I must kill this woman to be worthy of my wife and son who died unjustly. I ask for your help!"
The Emperor of Duxue was naturally cautious, and after watching his concubine and two sons die at the hands of Yingji, he was actually filled with fear. He didn't want to take action himself, so he could use the excuse of not being able to kill his own daughter as an excuse to incite these angry people into becoming his own blades.
He hadn't expected Yingji to harbor murderous intent towards Kongfan. With the Sky-Tearing Formation about to activate, the safety of Kongfan, the centerpiece, was paramount. The formidable figures present would surely not sit idly by.
It’s really God’s help!
·
Kong Fan ended his retreat just three days before the Sky-Tearing Formation was activated. He slowly opened his eyes in a white mist shimmering with golden spots.
At the same time, the sleeping golden dragon hovering above his head opened its eyes in an instant.
Kong Fan felt a sense of comfort all over his body, his spiritual power flowed freely in his body, and resonated with the golden dragon above his head.
Then, he suddenly received a message from Ling Jiayan. The message had arrived a long time ago.
"The demon refining technique has been exposed, and Yingji is in danger."
Kong Fan suddenly raised his eyes and raised his hand, his palm was empty, he could not feel the Tongsheng Gu.
Sure enough, the Tongsheng Gu that he implanted into Yingji's body for the second time was dug out again.
Fortunately, he had buried a strand of his spiritual power in Yingji's body. The world was vast, and as long as she was alive, he would be able to find her.
At this moment, Yingji was in a temple. The temple had been destroyed by the cultivators who were hunting her, and the eighteen Buddha statues were lying all over the place.
If Ling Jiayan had not secretly passed the message, Ying Ji would have been captured earlier.
Today, Ling Jiayan is no longer able to do anything.
The crowd was outraged and no one was willing to spare Yingji's life.
Ling Jiayan tried to persuade his master. "She calls you Master too!"
Venerable Fu Feng sighed and said, "Jia Yan, in this situation, even if I wanted to spare her life, no one else would agree. You can't really think that I can single-handedly resist ten thousand people, right? Which of these cultivators isn't formidable?"
Ling Jiayan was speechless. But he felt that he had to try, to express his opinion.
Ling Jiayan couldn't tell whether it was out of friendship among fellow disciples, or out of guilt for Basho's death, or out of his genuine reluctance to bear the pain of being with Yingji during that time.
There was no way out from the sect, so he wanted to seek out his Grandmaster Dao Zhen. His compassionate and merciful nature might bring a turnaround. However, his whereabouts were always elusive, and he wouldn't show up until the final juncture of the Sky-tearing Formation was activated.
If there was no other way, he would not have sent a message to Kong Fan.
This time, the Tongsheng Gu in Yingji's body was not dug out by someone else.
Wusheng said to Yingji, who was forced into a desperate situation, "Kongfan is at the final stage of his cultivation."
Ying Ji was covered in blood. Looking at the approaching cultivators, she pierced her palm with a scimitar and dug out the Tongsheng Gu herself.
The Tongsheng Gu allows him to feel her pain and her death.
It’s enough to implicate him again and again.
The symbiotic Gu that had been ripped out of her heart was pierced through, and the excruciating pain made Yingji break out in a cold sweat, her vision blurring. The scimitar in her hand fell to the ground, and she collapsed in agony.
Looking at the cultivators in front of her, Yingji laughed heartily.
"I, Yingji, was able to force so many powerful men to mobilize their forces. I truly have no regrets in death!"
The Emperor of Duxue stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, this girl is a demon. It's because I didn't teach her well. Today, I, Xue, will kill her for the sake of justice!"
After saying that, he immediately took action, and the Blood-Green Halberd with the force of thunder smashed towards the exhausted Ying Ji.
The blow filled with anger shook the earth.
Suddenly there was a crisp sound, followed by crackling.
The Green Blood Halberd exploded, and the Duxue Nation suffered a backlash, falling back and vomiting blood, with their spiritual veins shattered.
Beep, tap, tap.
Yingji stared blankly at the Buddhist beads that had rolled to her feet. She stretched out her blood-stained hand and picked up the beads that had rolled to her feet.
The eighteen Buddhist beads lost their luster and were scattered.
Suddenly, a dragon roared.
Yingji was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked in the direction of Long Yin.
So do everyone else.
A massive golden dragon seemed to coil across the entire sky, its size unfathomable. Everyone gazed up at the golden dragon above the sky, until a slender, upright figure emerged from a patch of white light, the form of a magnolia.
The wind blew Kongfan's white monk's robe, and his wide sleeves fluttered.
He stepped through the void, covering a thousand miles in one step. In an instant, he was in front of Ying Ji.
Kong Fan stared at Ying Ji.
She fell to the ground, covered in blood. The exposed skin was already covered with wounds, and there was no telling how many more scars there were under her clothes. Some of these wounds on her body were backlash from her demon refining, and some were caused by these people.
She was covered in scars, but only her eyes were recognizable as her.
Yingji held the Buddhist beads she picked up in her palm, raised her eyes and looked at Kongfan.
She only hoped that this time, her cultivation would not be ruined.
"Kong Fan, don't be bewitched by this witch again! She has murderous intentions towards you, how can you spare her life!"
"The Sky-tearing Formation is about to be activated. Your life is more important than anything else."
Du Xueguo shouted angrily: "No one can save this witch's life today."
The sun is setting and it's getting a little cold.
Kong Fan took off his monk's robe and put it on Yingji. His snow-white monk's robe was stained red with blood the moment it was put on her.
Kong Fan glanced at the collapsed Buddha statue, bent down and picked up the scimitar that Ying Ji had left in front of her.
He turned around in front of the eighteen leaning Buddha statues and stood in front of Yingji.
"She lives, I live."
The Emperor of Duxue Nation shouted angrily: "She must die today, do you want to sacrifice herself with her—"
Before he could finish his words, his life pill was cut into pieces.
The scimitar bent and returned to Kong Fan's hand.
The precept of killing is broken.
A magnolia-like person stood in the wind, his clean hands holding the murderous blade.
There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds. The moment he wanted to have the best of both worlds, he had already made his choice in his heart.
Screw the rules and regulations, all he wants is for her to be safe, healthy and live a long life.
