Zhangsun Zijun and Yi Xichen are the protagonists of the novel 《The Chronicles of the Nine Thousand Worlds Vicissitudes》. One was solid and reserved; the other was free-spirited and uninhibited...
A gray wolf demon was sleeping under a tree. Qiao Jue lit some incense not far away, and after burning it for a while, the gray wolf fell limply to the ground, fully conscious. Qiao Jue then walked over.
He rolled up his sleeves, and the black hexagram mark on his arm flashed. He placed his hand between the wolf demon's eyebrows.
After a moment, the wolf demon looked as if it had a nightmare and its expression became extremely painful.
“No…No!”
The wolf demon opened his eyes in horror, his hair soaked with sweat, and he rolled on the ground in agony, as if he was experiencing the most painful thing in the world.
The black light on Qiao Jue's arm kept flashing. He had implanted a demon in the wolf demon's body, and he was constantly activating the power of the demon.
The inner demon itself does not hurt people, but its horror is that it can make people see the most painful and fearful things in their hearts. When people are completely bound by fear and pain, they lose their fighting spirit and desire to live. When the inner demon becomes strong to a certain extent, people are in great danger of going crazy and exploding to death.
The wolf demon saw Qiao Jue and said in horror: "You...what did you do..." He opened his mouth and wanted to pounce on Qiao Jue and bite her, but he didn't have the strength to do so.
"No... help... stop..."
Qiao Jue was in an extremely happy mood: "I can stop. Are you willing to form a bond with me?"
The wolf demon was unwilling.
The black hexagram shines brighter!
"Knock! Knock! Please, stop! Don't let me see those things!"
Qiao Jue was arranging on the ground.
"Drop your blood onto this stone." Qiao Jue said, "I will stop after you form a bond with me."
The wolf demon no longer had the strength to resist. With a distorted expression, it walked into the formation and dripped its blood onto the stones.
After a while, the slave contract was formed, and Qiao Jue finally absorbed the power of his inner demon.
As soon as the inner demon stopped, the wolf demon immediately pounced towards Qiao Jue angrily!
"Bite your own right leg to pieces!" Qiao Jue shouted!
The wolf demon's expression became twisted and painful again.
This time it was not the power of the inner demon, but the power of the bondage. He was bonded by Qiao Jue, and Qiao Jue's orders would constantly echo in his mind. If he tried to disobey, his internal organs would be like being squeezed by a hand, making him feel extremely painful. This indescribable pain was far worse than having a limb cut off. After weighing the pros and cons, the wolf demon had no choice but to bite his own right leg.
"Bite yourself the same way you bit me before!"
The wolf demon bit his own right leg and tore off a piece of flesh!
Such a bloody and cruel scene made Qiao Jue feel extremely happy. He laughed and said, "Didn't you teach me what plunder is? Now I will teach you too!"
He brought the wolf demon back to the foot of the mountain. The twin blood lotuses had already been picked, but he still ordered, "Climb up!"
His mind was as narrow as a needle tip. Now that the wolf demon had been enslaved by him, he could easily order the wolf demon to do more things for him, but he refused to do so. Even if he would not gain any benefit, he would still vent his anger!
The wolf demon struggled painfully. His leg was still injured, and he was afraid that he would never return if he climbed this mountain. However, the price of disobeying orders was huge. Qiao Jue violated his consciousness and could even make him experience the pain of blood flow reverse at any time. That feeling was worse than death, and he really would rather die. So he had to take the risk and start climbing.
The mountain was steep and rugged, and the wolf demon's four injured legs were covered in blood after climbing for a short while. But if he showed any sign of stopping, Qiao Jue would immediately activate the slave contract, forcing him to bite the bullet and climb up.
The higher he went, the harder it was to climb. The steep cliffs had almost no footholds. The occasional protrusions were sharp as knives. With every step he took, the rocks dug deep into his feet, and his flesh was worn away. Qiao Jue looked up and saw that the wolf demon's feet had exposed the white bones. He actually laughed happily.
"Where do you want me to crawl to?" The wolf demon finally couldn't stand it anymore and roared down. When he lowered his head, he saw that he was already a thousand feet above the ground. He was terrified and missed a step, sliding down several feet.
Qiao Jue saw his ferocious look and laughed again.
The wolf demon struggled desperately, trying to grab a foothold, but rocks rolled down and he finally missed his step and fell straight down from halfway up the mountain!
"You lunatic! You will regret it!" the wolf demon screamed!
Bang!
The wolf demon fell heavily to the ground, blood and flesh flying everywhere. After twitching a few times, it stopped moving.
Qiao Jue walked forward, looked at the lifeless body of the wolf demon, and chuckled, "I will never regret seeing you fall to this point."
Yi Xichen wandered in Qiao Jue's sea of consciousness and finally understood that Qiao Jue had borrowed the power of the inner demon from a demon. This power was borrowed by him and did not belong to him, so he did not fall into the devil's way. But those who were planted with inner demons were equivalent to having a root of evil planted in their bodies by the demon, and there would be endless troubles. This was probably what the demon said was a "sacrifice".
Who is that demon? Is he related to the inner demon planted in Zijun's body?
Yi Xichen was looking for more memories related to the devil in Qiao Jue's memory, but he saw Lang Yue.
Qiao Jue practiced evil ways and made many enemies, and was injured. He fled for his life and escaped into the icy plains of the Arctic to get rid of his pursuers.
Although this icy land is rich in spiritual energy, it is often hit by snowstorms, which are difficult for ordinary people to endure. In addition, there are Ice Peak Giant Wolves, descendants of ancient fairy beasts, in the icy land. It is rumored that this beast likes quietness and has a violent temperament. It does not want people to invade its territory and is very cruel to invaders. Therefore, the icy land has always been sparsely populated and outsiders dare not enter.
Although Qiao Jue was afraid, there were pursuers behind him and he would die if he went out, so he rushed into the ice field without looking back.
The ice field was covered with snow and ice, and the cold wind with icicles hit his body. He was already injured, and he had already taken the healing pills, so he fell down in the snow not long after he started walking.
"Get out." A voice without any warmth rang above his head.
He looked up and saw a giant silver wolf. It was the most beautiful wolf he had ever seen, with a strong and tall body, shiny silver hair, and a majestic demeanor. Its pupils were as bright as obsidian, and there was a fiery red mark between its foreheads.
Qiao Jue was stunned.
Yi Xichen was also surprised. It turned out that the mark between the Ice Peak Giant Wolf's eyebrows was so bright red, like the morning sun, but when he saw Lang Yue, that proud sun had already fallen into the dust.
Qiao Jue thought: Another damn wolf demon! ——Since he was betrayed by the wolf demon, he and the wolf tribe had great hatred for him.
The Ice Peak Giant Wolf looked at him coldly for a moment, and suddenly found a whirlwind, wrapped up Qiao Jue, and swept him several feet away!
Lang Yue spoke again: "Get out."
The magic was not very powerful, and Qiao Jue should have been unharmed after falling on the thick snow pile. However, he was already seriously injured, and after this fall, he coughed up some blood and was unable to move.
In just a moment, the blue sky suddenly turned dark, strong winds blew all around, and heavy snow and ice fell!
The ice was like a knife, and it only took one rub to bleed immediately. The blizzard seemed to take away all the warmth from the body. Qiao Jue lay in the snow, with new wounds on his body, and there was no way to avoid it. The more blood flowed, the colder his body became, and his consciousness was gradually fading. He didn't expect that he would die in this place. There were many people who deserved to die more than him, and he was unwilling to accept it!
However, at this moment, something warm suddenly wrapped around him. He felt dizzy and unable to open his eyes, and he felt that the blizzard and strong wind around him disappeared.
When he woke up again, he was in an ice cave. Although the cave was made of ice, it was surprisingly not that cold after being isolated from the blizzard outside.
The Ice Peak Giant Wolf was lying not far from him. Seeing that he had woken up, he lazily said, "Get out."
Qiao Jue laughed secretly in his heart.
From the moment he saw the big wolf, the big wolf said three things to him: "Get out!" and "Get out!" If he really wanted to get out, why did he save him?
He said weakly, "I am injured and cannot move. Are you the cave master here? Please let me rest for two days. I will leave as soon as I recover."
Yi Xichen was in Qiao Jue's sea of consciousness, so he naturally couldn't see what Qiao Jue looked like, but by listening to his pitiful voice and imagining what expression Qiao Jue would make, he knew that he was extremely deceptive at the moment. Yi Xichen wanted to shout at Lang Yue: Big Wolf, don't be fooled by him! If you keep him here, he will hurt you badly!
Unfortunately, things have become the past, Yi Xichen is just a spectator, and he can't change anything.
Lang Yue looked at him a few more times, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to him, but he didn't force him to leave. He just lay down and fell asleep.
Qiao Jue lay there for a while, and when he thought the Ice Peak Giant Wolf was asleep, he covered his wound and tiptoed over, lifted his sleeves, and gently touched the fiery red mark between the Ice Peak Giant Wolf's eyebrows with his fingers. This is an extremely powerful monster. If it can be controlled by him, those outside who want to cause trouble for him will be dead!
The black mark on his arm was glowing, and he carefully looked at the Ice Peak Wolf's expression. However, after a long time, the Ice Peak Wolf did not react at all, and the mark on his arm also dimmed.
Qiao Jue was stunned. The power of the inner demon was actually useless against this half-immortal, half-demon Ice Peak Giant Wolf! This was the first time he had encountered such a situation!
Just as he was stunned, Lang Yue actually opened his eyes.
Qiao Jue was so scared that he immediately withdrew his hand, put it behind his back, and used his sleeve to cover the mark left by the devil.
The Ice Peak Giant Wolf didn't say anything, but just stared at him with cold and suspicious eyes.
"I'm a little cold." Qiao Jue said weakly, "Can I sleep next to you?"
Ice Peak Giant Wolf: "Get lost."
The Ice Peak Giant Wolf lay there for a while, then stood up and went out. After a while, he picked up some spirit stones and threw them on the ground. The spirit stones instantly burned into a blazing flame, which made the entire ice cave extremely warm.
After lighting the fire, the Icepeak Wolf returned to his side and lay down.
Qiao Jue thought, this Ice Peak Giant Wolf is not as ferocious and cruel as the outside world said, but he is indeed a loner by nature, doesn't like to interact with others, and always tells people to get out. Get out? I won't get out, if I do, I'll take you with me!
Qiao Jue mustered up his courage and walked towards the Ice Peak Giant Wolf, leaning down beside him. The Ice Peak Giant Wolf had a coat of silver fur and looked cold and hard, but it was actually very warm, warmer than any quilt he had ever covered himself with, so comfortable that he really wanted to lie down there and take a nap.
However, as soon as he touched the wolf's body, the Ice Peak Giant Wolf became angry, knocked him to the ground, and roared at him!
Qiao Jue was thrown to the ground and rolled over, gasping for breath while holding his chest weakly. He was half pretending, and half really weak. He said, "You saved me, I'm very grateful, I like you very much, and I want to be closer to you. Why did you hit me?"
The Ice Peak Giant Wolf remained silent.
Qiao Jue kept coughing, and the breath he exhaled smelled of blood.
After a moment, the Ice Peak Wolf walked up to him and lay down again.
Qiao Jue was very proud. He liked good people, especially sword cultivators, because good people had principles in doing things, and sword cultivators had a lot of rules and regulations. Once these rules restricted them, he had an opportunity to frame people who were stronger than him again and again, and escape from the hands of the masters who were chasing him again and again.
This Ice Peak Giant Wolf is actually a good wolf. He doesn't like dealing with people, but he doesn't like to owe others either. He blew himself away as soon as he saw him. As a result, he thought that his injury was related to him, so as compensation, he took himself back to the ice cave to recuperate. He just hurt himself again, and as compensation, he allowed himself to touch it.
This is a good wolf with principles, Qiao Jue thought. This kind of unwillingness to owe is such a fatal character flaw. If I don't take him in, it would be a waste of talent!
He lay on the Ice Wolf, trying to feel the inner demon he had just planted, but there was still no reaction.
It seems that the power of the inner demon cannot be used, so he can only think of another way. Fortunately, it will not be too difficult.
