Ning Mingmei finds himself transmigrated into a dark-themed cultivation novel, taking on the role of the unfortunate ‘cold and aloof master’ destined to be killed by his disciple, the male prot...
Chapter 312 Mysterious Man
Who else could exist in the Demonic Abyss?
The unexpected situation made Wei Rong break out in a cold sweat. Ye Yufei said: "Can you tell me more details? Who is this cultivator from? Is he from the demon race or the human race?"
Lian Chengyue shook her head: "I can't do it."
It was Ning Mingmei's voice that broke the silence: "Let's go."
"But Immortal Venerable..."
"Immortal Ning must have a way." Ye Yufei's eyes lit up, "Let's go!"
They seemed to have a blind trust in Ning Mingmei. As long as Ning Mingmei is here, there will be a solution to any crisis. As long as Ning Mingmei is there, they are not afraid of any obstacles.
For example, when facing this "person" who suddenly appears.
In fact, Ning Mingmei had no other choice. There was only one sentence in his mind.
"There won't be a better opportunity than today. Now that we're here, let's just go on like this."
Is this rational? Or absolute confidence? Or is it the stubbornness of not turning back until you hit the wall?
Or is it the gambling nature that is deeply rooted in Ning Mingmei's bones, which Ning Mingmei always wraps up with layers of rational packaging into perfect reports that can be used to convince others?
"Ning Mingmei is not absolutely rational. On the contrary, he is more like a gambler. If he was really a very rational person, how could he completely reject all the demands of this world after coming to this world, call himself rational, cover up the stubbornness in the depths of his soul, and wrap his desperate bet into a grand and meticulous blueprint."
"This stubbornness is called uncompromising. He is more cynical than he thinks. He uses reason to convince others and himself - this is the most powerful thing. He makes himself believe that everything he does is out of reason. It is not out of any 'spiritual power' that he despises."
“Rather than saying that he took the most rational path, it is better to say that he used his superior intelligence and uncompromising spirit to make everyone believe that he was taking the best and most rational path.”
"Haha...that's great. I understand Ning Mingmei a little better than before."
"Is that you who's talking?"
Ning Mingmei stopped and looked at Lian Chengyue coldly. Ning Mingmei was stunned for a moment after noticing Lian Chengyue's hand pressing on the hilt of the sword, always ready for battle. Although Wei Rong and Ye Yufei also looked very alert, they did not act as if they were always ready to strike.
The reason was obvious. Their absolute trust in Ning Mingmei made them lose all awareness that they were in a life-and-death situation.
But Lian Chengyue’s attitude is different.
It was as if he knew in his heart that Ning Mingmei was also gambling. He carried a sword and, as the only person present who knew the truth, wanted to be Ning Mingmei's assistant and go to hell with him.
"Hmm?" Lian Chengyue was really stunned for a moment, "Master, I didn't say anything."
Ning Mingmei observed his face for a long time and confirmed that Lian Chengyue was not lying.
In that case, who said those words just now that seemed to be whispering in my ear?
Ning Mingmei actually reached out and pressed his slightly hot spine. At that moment he suddenly realized that perhaps there was some more bizarre connection between him, Lian Chengyue and Qi Miancheng.
Jian Gu has not caused any trouble for many years. He had almost forgotten about it.
But there is no time to think about it now. The howling monsters in the Blood Abyss were already rushing towards everyone like a waterfall. These monsters were no longer ordinary monsters. They seemed to have been infected and mutated by the foul air in the Blood Abyss, and they looked extremely terrifying. Even though everyone was prepared, this number was not good. The four of them formed a formation and cast spells. Ning Mingmei was also swinging his sword, but suddenly, he saw some strange signs on the monsters.
"Could it be that he is also in chaos..."
Ning Mingmei retracted his sword. He summoned the lotus lantern and activated his magic power!
Although the Lotus Lantern is a divine weapon, its lethality against ordinary monsters is not particularly different from that of divine weapons of the same level. But only when facing the monsters in the Blood Abyss, it almost reached the level of absolute restraint. In just a moment, those monsters were torn apart like torn cotton!
But there were too many monsters here, and they were all attracted here. Ye Yufei's hands were shaking as she tried to chop with her sword, but she saw that the monster that she had chopped in half rolled on the ground and split into two, attacking her again.
Why does it seem to have grown in size? Before she could think, Wei Rong said, "Let me do it!"
Under his sword, the monster was instantly turned into powder. Just as Ye Yufei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wei Rong with gratitude, she found that the other's eyes had become straight.
"you……"
She followed Wei Rong's gaze and found that the ball of powder seemed to be pinched by invisible hands and instantly turned into the shape of a dark little girl. The little girl's mouth opened and closed, and the two holes formed her eyes as she looked at Wei Rong. Her mouth opened and closed with difficulty, and her upper and lower lips seemed to be sewn together with dense needle and thread.
But her voice was clear.
"Brother Taoist?"
"Brother Taoist, didn't you say you were going to save me? Why are you trying to kill me?"
"Why... leave me to those monsters in the cave?"
"Brother Taoist, did you hear my voice? Why couldn't you hear it at that time?"
"No..." She heard Wei Rong's shrill voice, "Impossible... No..."
At this moment, Ye Yufei suddenly remembered an event from the past. Even Wei Rong, the former disciple of the headmaster and a man well-versed in human relations, had his moments of being a rookie.
It was a tragic incident.
At that time, Wei Rong had just come down the mountain when a village was attacked by monsters. Because of his absolute confidence in his own intelligence, he fell into the monster's trap. In the cave, he entrusted the little girl he rescued to his companions he met while investigating the case, and left alone to fight the monster to the death.
But he didn't know that the monsters appeared in pairs, one male and one female, and they were able to speak human language because they had eaten the throats of humans. So when he returned to the cave, all he saw was the remains of the little girl.
Wei Rong almost went crazy, and finally, he chased down the monster. But at the last moment, the monster laughed and told him an answer that would cause him lifelong pain.
"In fact, the child has already expressed to you her fear of me, but you never believed it."
"It's dark in the cave, isn't it? When she left, she kept looking at you, looking at you pleadingly."
"The reason she didn't speak... is because I had sewn her mouth shut. The dripping sound wasn't the sound of water, but the sound of her blood."
"You just disappeared from her sight, step by step, out of the cave..."
"ah--"
Wei Rong let out a heart-wrenching scream. He covered his eyes and said painfully: "No, no, it's all me...it's me..."
"Wei Rong!"
Ye Yufei was shocked by the sudden change before her. She wanted to go over and help Wei Rong, but she didn't have the money to do so. and……
"What came out of his eyes?"
What was that thing that looked like a gray-black gas worm coming out of his eyes?
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a burning sensation came from behind her. Purple flames surged up, and in an instant, the black shadow of the little girl in front of Wei Rong was burned into smoke before she could say more.
"!"
At the same time, the monster in front of Ye Yufei also disappeared. The thing that couldn't be killed no matter how hard you tried was like it had encountered another natural enemy, and turned into black smoke in an instant. Standing in the black smoke was a tall and handsome young man.
The young man was dressed in white and holding a long sword. What shocked Ye Yufei was his eyes. The eyes on that handsome face had turned red, glowing in the darkness, like a devil.
"You..." Ye Yufei realized something and shouted, "You didn't activate the protective spell, you will..."
Ye Yufei once accidentally got black smoke on her sleeves. In just a moment, her cuffs began to rot.
But the man opened his lips, licked the black smoke around him, and sucked it into his mouth.
"It's okay, it tastes good to me." He smiled slightly.
Because he was sealed in the sword just to deal with these things.
What shaped him was something deeper and broader than what is here, even a malicious act that was disguised in the name of justice and with the most beautiful righteousness, making him begin to doubt whether there is really such a thing as "light" in the world, and whether all "light" can be forged.
The malice and hatred he experienced were far more than what is shown here. The scariest darkness in the world is darkness disguised as brightness. Because only it will make people lose their yearning for brightness.
Therefore, no hatred or resentment can overcome true despair.
But at the same time…
He looked at Ning Mingmei.
He could kill the black smoke, but the monsters kept coming. He was good at killing, but he could not protect Ning Mingmei and the two people behind him from moving forward.
Nor can it protect Xiang Wuxing from leaving.
In this violent battle, only the lotus lantern in Ning Mingmei's hand was still flashing with a soft light. Although it is gentle, no darkness can resist its advance. But it's still missing something. Even if it wants to get out of here, it's still a little short of it.
Just a little bit, just a little bit...
But at this moment...
"Dad, let me help you!"
Suddenly something purple flashed. Everyone was surprised, it turned out to be a small mushroom. The mushroom climbed onto Ning Mingmei's shoulder.
Ning Mingmei was also surprised: "Didn't I give you to Wen Siheng?"
At this moment, the mushroom opened its mouth. A warm and bright power was infused into the lotus lantern. After breaking through that threshold, the light expanded again!
"Go!" Ning Mingmei shouted.
Ye Yufei grabbed the still trembling Wei Rong. Lian Chengyue held up a sword to cover the rear, and everyone left the place like an arrow!
After running, Ye Yufei suddenly said, "In this area, the number of monsters seems to have decreased."
Lian Chengyue was also a little confused. He looked forward, and what appeared before his eyes was a cliff.
Below the cliff, there is a silver-blue barrier. The barrier was very weak and it looked like it couldn't last much longer. Ning Mingmei, who was walking in front, also saw the faces of the two people in the barrier.
"Senior Brother Xiang." Ning Mingmei said.
The people in the barrier seemed to be at the end of their strength. After hearing Ning Mingmei's voice, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Don't let his father use illusions to deceive me..."
After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the four people in disbelief.
"rather……"
Ning Mingmei was already looking at the other person in the barrier in astonishment.
He originally thought that the barrier was erected by Xiang Wuxing. But it is not.
The person who supported the barrier had long white hair that trailed on the ground. “He” had his eyes closed, and there seemed to be some kind of divinity in his body, and his appearance was difficult to tell whether he was male or female.
