Chapter 37 After Abandoning the Paranoid Villain 37 "Fuwei, you can't just...
"Brother...Brother...why are you here..."
Chu Xiangzhi's face was so pale that it could not be described. He hurriedly blocked Zhu Jiuyin to prevent Fu Wei from seeing him.
But they all knew that this was impossible.
"Did you hear everything I just said?"
Zhu Jiuyin impatiently pushed Chu Xiangzhi aside, crackling his muscles as he stretched them. He said with disdain, "What are you afraid of? His painted spirit body has been counterattacked, and he'd be lucky to have even one percent of his previous level of cultivation. And I've absorbed the spiritual energy of several powerful beings, as well as all the resentment surrounding Qingyun Mountain. He can't defeat me now."
As he spoke, Zhu Jiuyin rolled up his sleeves, looking smug as if he was sharpening his knife to kill pigs and sheep.
"Fu Wei, let's settle all the old and new grudges together. If you know what's good for you, beg for mercy as soon as possible, and I'll spare your life. If not..."
Before Zhu Jiuyin could finish his words, Chu Xiangzhi pushed him away. Before Zhu Jiuyin could get angry, Fu Wei glanced at him coldly.
The terrifying oppression from his memory instantly silenced Zhu Jiuyin, and he turned into a wisp of black smoke and returned to Chu Xiangzhi's body.
Chu Xiangzhi trembled all over and wanted to reach out to touch Fu Wei, but Fu Wei glanced at him and he immediately knelt at Fu Wei's feet.
"Senior Brother——"
Fu Wei bent down to look at him, unable to discern any emotion. His hands gently cupped Chu Xiangzhi's tear-stained cheeks, his voice gentle yet unquestionable: "Baby, tell me, was what you and Zhu Jiuyin just said true?"
Chu Xiangzhi's lips were pale.
Fu Wei had never been angry with him, but he had seen Fu Wei when she was angry.
That was when Fu Wei's master, Chu Xiangzhi's father, was assassinated. Fu Wei looked like this, beating the murderer with an expressionless face until his bones were broken and his soul was scattered.
He really likes Fu Wei, but that doesn't mean he isn't afraid of Fu Wei and doesn't dare to bear the wrath of Fu Wei if she finds out.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
Fu Wei: "Why?"
After the death of his master, Fu Wei was left with only this junior brother. He kept him by his side, loved and cared for him in every way. However, he did not expect that his junior brother would repay his kindness with evil, and he ended up like this. Fu Wei felt heartbroken, and his limbs almost lost all feeling and were extremely numb.
Chu Xiangzhi choked with tears, "I didn't mean to do that... I regret it... I really regret it. I didn't mean to kill you. I was just scared. I was just scared of losing you. I just like you too much. Fu Wei, Brother... please believe me..."
Fu Wei: "Now that things have come to this, how can I trust you?"
Chu Xiangzhi called out hesitantly, "Senior Brother—"
"You poisoned my tea and colluded with Zhu Jiuyin to sever my chance to become an immortal." Unconsciously, Fu Wei's eyes were red. This high and mighty immortal king could actually lose his composure and collapse like this. But as she thought about it, she actually laughed again, her voice filled with sadness and chill. "A thousand years! You've deceived me for a thousand years."
Because she failed to take good care of Chu Xiangzhi, he died and was reincarnated. Fu Wei felt extremely guilty, and as a result, her chances of becoming an immortal were cut off, making it difficult for her to ascend to heaven.
So he trapped a wisp of his soul in the scroll, waiting in the dark for a thousand years.
He thought he had found his junior fellow apprentice, that he could make amends to his junior fellow apprentice, and that he could finally put his obsession to rest.
But now Chu Xiangzhi told him that all this was planned by him and that he had been deceived. How could Fu Wei accept this?
He even abandoned Feng Lingwu for the ungrateful man in front of him.
He really deserves it.
Chu Xiangzhi sobbed, "I know I was wrong, I can change. Brother, please don't ignore me, okay? Please don't abandon me. I'm just too scared of losing you. I'm really just afraid that you'll abandon me. I thought that as long as I broke your fate with me, you'd stay and stay with me forever. I really didn't expect things to turn out like this."
But Fu Wei didn't believe him. He let go of Chu Xiangzhi's cheek and slowly stepped back. His eyes were resolute and indifferent, as if he was looking at an insignificant person.
“No…no…”
Chu Xiangzhi tried his best to grab Fu Wei's clothes, trying to keep him, but Fu Wei not only did not stop, but also cut off the clothes with a knife in front of Chu Xiangzhi.
Chu Xiangzhi fell to the ground, covered in mud. He looked up at Fu Wei, and a moment of confusion appeared on his face, as if he didn't understand what Fu Wei meant.
Fu Wei said word by word, "From now on, you are no longer my junior apprentice. After today, you will no longer have me as your senior apprentice."
Chu Xiangzhi said tremblingly: "Brother, what do you mean?"
Fu Wei: "Qingyang, I don't want you anymore."
Chu Xiangzhi roared, "No, you can't leave me. You promised my father to take good care of me. You promised me that you would never leave me. Fu Wei, Fu Wei, you can't do this, you can't do this!"
Fu Wei didn't look back and planned to leave.
He had to announce this to the world of esoteric arts.
“Ahhhh!”
Suddenly, Chu Xiangzhi on the ground was covered in a blood-red glow, the sky was filled with darkness, his pupils turned blood-red, and his clothes turned into the same red robe as Zhu Jiuyin's. A black curse was shining brightly between his eyebrows.
In just a moment, he seemed like a completely different person.
Chu Xiangzhi, who had just begged Fu Wei not to leave, was filled with resentment the next second. He slowly stood up from the ground, staring at Fu Wei's leaving back, then raised his hand, condensed black energy, and attacked with all his strength!
This attack was unstoppable, and if you were hit, you would be seriously injured.
"Don't go!" Chu Xiangzhi yelled.
Fu Wei didn't expect that Chu Xiangzhi had no one to turn to and chose to merge directly with Zhu Jiuyin!
Just as he was about to turn around and take the blow, a black wind swept in, forming a huge protective shield that blocked all attacks. When Fu Wei raised his eyes again, there was another person in front of him.
It’s Feng Lingwu.
Feng Lingwu gloated and said, "Uncle Master, what's wrong with you? You can't win, so you just sneak attack. You really are unworthy of being a famous and righteous sect."
Fu Wei turned his eyes away but said nothing.
Feng Lingwu laughed wantonly. He grabbed Fu Wei's wrist and said, "Master, you were quite powerful when you plotted against me. Now that you see me, why are you so afraid to speak?"
Fu Wei pursed her lips and remained silent.
Chu Xiangzhi slowly got up from the ground. His wrists and ankles were all bleeding, and blood was slowly flowing under his feet. Countless black air and resentment rushed towards him from all directions, even the ghost energy and resentment on Feng Lingwu were no exception.
This startled Feng Lingwu, and he immediately sealed the power in his body to prevent it from being sucked away by Chu Xiangzhi.
Feng Lingwu: "Why is this happening?"
Fu Wei's eyes were hazy as he looked at the world that seemed to be at the end of the world. "Chu Xiangzhi sacrificed everything he had to Zhu Jiuyin. His body is merging with Zhu Jiuyin. The surrounding ghost energy has sensed the Ghost King's call and is now continuously surging towards them."
Feng Lingwu sneered: "No wonder."
Fu Wei: "Don't do anything, let me do it."
Feng Lingwu: "Why, are you afraid that I will kill him?"
"He's almost absorbed all the power. His resentment is boiling over, and his strength has increased tenfold. Fighting him will only result in both of you getting hurt. But I'm different. He doesn't want to kill me."
Feng Lingwu sneered: "I don't want to kill you, but if you lose, do you know what you will face?"
Fu Wei chuckled: "To me, there is no difference between going back and staying here." It's just that he was imprisoned in a different place.
Moreover, Chu Xiangzhi was violent, and he could not ignore the lives of innocent people.
Feng Lingwu immediately became anxious: "Yes, there is no difference, but at least I didn't poison your water, and I wouldn't team up with some monsters to harm you. I did force you, but other than that, have I ever done anything to let you down? Fu Wei, he and I are different. You can't lump me in with him."
Yes, Feng Lingwu and Chu Xiangzhi are different.
But his mind was in a mess right now, and he really didn't want to argue with Feng Lingwu about this.
"But I can't just watch him destroy the whole world."
Fu Wei raised his hand and issued an order to the entire Qingyun Mountain:
[Qingyun Mountain's Chu family patriarch, Chu Xiangzhi, has been possessed by a ghost king, placing the entire Qingyun Mountain in imminent danger. Upon hearing this message, I urge all Chu family disciples to quickly descend the mountain and seek refuge. Return without further orders.]
Fu Wei was the True Lord Yao Ling, and no one dared to disobey his orders, so they went down the mountain and left.
Feeling that everyone in Qingyun Mountain had left, Fu Wei cut his finger and a formation quickly rose from the ground. Golden chains came from all directions, trapping Chu Xiangzhi's hands and feet, sealing all the ghost energy overflowing from his body, and locking him firmly in the formation.
Perhaps feeling that it was not enough, Fu Wei summoned the scroll of shelter again. The scroll unfolded and spread out for a hundred feet, like a flexible snake, slowly circling the entire inner courtyard without leaving a single gap.
After doing all this, Fu Weiwei's face turned very pale and his body was shaking.
He had no other choice.
He didn't even know what he had been busy with for a thousand years.
Fu Wei, Fu Wei, how stupid you are. You couldn't see through Chu Xiangzhi's conspiracy, and you couldn't see through Zhu Jiuyin, so you killed so many people, and even your own apprentice became a ghost.
What qualifications do you have to blame others? It's karma.
Maybe it was because there were too many things on his mind and he couldn't think straight, or maybe it was because Fu Wei's spiritual power had been depleted for too long. As he was thinking, he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Fu Wei!" Feng Lingwu was startled and quickly supported Fu Wei, regretting it deeply. "Can I take you to see a doctor?"
Fu Wei went to shake his head, and he just whispered: "Thank you."
Feng Lingwu: "What?"
Fu Wei said: "Thank you for deliberately letting me go. You let me know how ridiculous I have been all these years, so that I won't be kept in the dark until my death."
Feng Lingwu's face turned pale. He wanted to explain, but he opened and closed his lips and couldn't say a word to refute.
He knew that Chu Xiangzhi had been absorbing resentful and evil spirits everywhere these days, and he had indeed deliberately let Fu Wei go so that Fu Wei could discover the matter and let him know the truth.
But he didn't expect that things were more than that. They had been in collusion as early as a thousand years ago. He also didn't expect that Chu Xiangzhi, the head of the Chu family, would use his own people as food, and even left Fu Wei behind in the end, willing to merge with the evil ghost.
He just wanted Fu Wei to know Chu Xiangzhi's true face, become disappointed with him, and then return to him.
But I didn't expect things to turn out like this.
I don’t even know how to explain it.
Seeing Fu Wei heartbroken and in pain, vomiting blood and extremely weak, Feng Lingwu regretted to death why he didn't kill Chu Xiangzhi from the beginning. Even if Fu Wei hated him, it was better than the current state.
Feng Lingwu: "Fu Wei, I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted you to know Chu Xiangzhi's true face. I thought as long as you knew it, you would come back to me..."
"I understand, so I never blamed you." Fu Wei wiped the blood from his lips and said, "But now that things have come to this, there is no turning back."
Feng Lingwu: "What do you mean?"
Fu Wei said, "Chu Xiangzhi may have a mortal body, but within him lies a soul that has cultivated for thousands of years. Once Zhu Jiuyin devours his soul, his power will reach its peak, breaking through the barriers and shackles. No one will be able to defeat him. At that time, all the resentment in you and in the world will respond to Zhu Jiuyin's call and be absorbed by him."
Although Feng Lingwu tamed the resentment, Zhu Jiuyin was the real owner of the resentment after all, and Feng Lingwu could not keep it.
By then, the world will be in turmoil, and the entire world of metaphysics will be doomed.
Those eyes that were as clear as glass were almost shattered. He looked at the huge barrier, at Chu Xiangzhi who was struggling in the barrier, and at Feng Lingwu's incredulous eyes.
But I can't see my own future.
Feng Lingwu's face turned pale: "How could this happen, how could this happen..."
Fu Wei: "If you hadn't let me go and let me discover this, the sacrifice would have been completed long ago, and that would have been a real disaster."
Feng Lingwu: "What are you going to do?"
Fu Wei: "I will absorb all the resentment and evil spirits into the scroll, and then destroy both the resentment and the scroll."
This would kill Chu Xiangzhi and Zhu Jiuyin, but without the scroll to shelter Fu Wei would also be doomed to annihilation.
This is almost a fatal outcome.
He doesn't have much time left.
Feng Lingwu: "How could this happen, how could this happen..."
Fu Wei: "This is the only way."
Only now did Feng Lingwu realize how wrong he was. He grabbed Fu Wei's wrist, his eyes red as he said, "Fu Wei, is there no other way? Is there no other way? I don't want you to like me anymore, I don't want you to love me anymore, and I won't force you anymore—"
"Can you think of another way? I don't want anything else. I just want you to live well."
"I have nothing left. You are all I have, Master."
Fu Wei's eyes were red, but she still hardened her heart and said, "Go away."
Just leave, it doesn’t matter where you go, as long as you live a good life.
"You're driving me away?" Feng Lingwu looked at Fu Wei in disbelief and choked.
Fu Wei looked pale and weak, and whispered, "It's not about driving you away, it's just that our fate has ended."
Feng Lingwu shook his head: "I won't leave, Fu Wei, I will never leave you in this life. As long as you live, I will follow you. If you die, I will follow you to the Yellow Springs Naihe Bridge. You want me to leave, it's impossible in this life, not even if you kill me!"
Fu Wei closed his eyes: "Why are you doing this?"
"I'm not suffering at all!" Feng Lingwu said, "Fu Wei, you can't abandon me again and again and say it's for my own good."
Fu Wei: "It's not abandonment, it's just that I really have no other choice."
Feng Lingwu cautiously grasped Fu Wei's hand and said, "Fu Wei, I beg you, please don't leave me..."
Fu Wei: "But the end of staying with me may be waiting for death. Are you really willing to do that?"
Feng Lingwu's eyes were blazing as he said solemnly, "I only wish to die."
Fu Wei muttered to herself, "Fool."
Feng Lingwu knew that Fu Wei agreed, so he hugged Fu Wei tightly, but his whole body was shaking.
