Chapter 54 This is just his fate...
"What a coincidence, haha..."
Xie Buyou greeted him awkwardly, but in fact he didn't want to see him at all.
His eyes unconsciously glanced at the Jiuxiao Sword on the other person's waist. He always felt that Mu Yinshen would draw his sword and stab him in the next second.
My chest feels a little cold...
Mu Yinshen sensed Xie Buyou's obvious emotions, and a flash of sadness flashed across his eyes, which was fleeting. "Buyou doesn't seem to want to see me very much?"
"No, no." Xie Buyou waved his hand and said, "I just didn't expect you to come here. After all, you've been quite busy recently."
"Is that so?" Mu Yinshen smiled, "I have been really busy lately because of some things. I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind, not at all." Xie Buyu said sincerely.
He really didn't mind Mu Yinshen being busy, but it would be best if he was busy enough to take off.
Mu Yinshen, not knowing what Xie Buyou was thinking, suddenly said, "By the way, I asked Daoist Tang to tell my fortune a few days ago. Guess what?"
Xie Buyou asked doubtfully, "How?"
Mu Yinshen began to keep the secret, "It's about not worrying about you. As for the details... you'll know later about not worrying about you."
Xie Buyou: "..." Can you get out now?
Mo Wanli, who had been patient for a long time, finally couldn't help but rush away. He said to Mu Yinshen impatiently: "Are you done? If you are done, you can go back to your master."
Mo Wanli treated all those who had ideas about his beloved apprentice as pigs, including Mu Yinshen.
"Sorry, I'm being rude." Mu Yinshen bowed politely and said one last word to Xie Buyu before leaving, "I'll come see you later."
These words made Mo Wan very angry. If it wasn't for the wrong timing, he would have really disregarded his image and taught Mu Yinshen a profound lesson.
Kidnapping his disciple in front of him? Even if the head of the Wanjian Sect came, he would still beat him up.
"Master, calm down." Xie Buyou stopped Mo Wanli and watched Mu Yinshen go away.
Compared to Mo Wanli's anger, he was more worried about what would happen next.
There was a lot of meaning in what Mu Yinshen said. Why did it seem like he was telling him in advance that he was going to stab him with a sword?
The terrifying thought only lasted for a short while before it was dissipated by the turbulence brought by the ground.
The ground shook violently, bringing with it a rumbling sound that came from the cracks in the bottomless cliff.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were all focused on the crack in the cliff. The monks who could come here all had certain abilities. At this moment, everyone's faces were serious, and no one had the idea of retreating.
Even if they are facing the Demon Lord who may actually descend after being sealed.
Thick black air gushed out from the huge cracks, rushing towards everyone with aggressive corrosion.
"Everyone, raise the protective shield!"
Someone shouted, and everyone immediately raised a barrier to block the evil energy that was rushing towards them like a tide.
But some people were still a step slow and absorbed the evil spirit into their bodies, having their internal organs eaten by it. They rolled on the ground in agony, their eyes bloodshot, and the immense pain made them wail loudly.
Others were shocked. They didn't expect that the demonic energy was so corrosive. Ordinary demonic energy could not compare to it.
"I didn't expect that just a little bit of overflowing demonic energy could be so powerful. It seems that sealing the Demon Lord is more difficult than I thought."
Mo Wanli frowned at this moment, with a rare seriousness in his eyes. The moment the evil spirit appeared, he had already erected a barrier to cover him and Xie Buyou, so the two of them were not hurt at all.
"Lao Tang, how are you doing over there?"
Mo Wanli asked Tang Qingyan who was not far away across the barrier.
Upon hearing this, Tang Qingyan took back the star map in front of him, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he also frowned and shook his head at Mo Wanli, "It's not clear, maybe the distance is too far."
This was the only question he could think of at the moment. After all, the explanation given by the star map was too vague, so vague that he even doubted whether he had made a mistake in his calculations.
Mo Wanli just nodded when he heard this, and didn't say much. When he looked at the deep crack again, there was an emotion in his eyes that Xie Buyou couldn't understand.
"Looks like I have to go down and take a look myself."
After Mo Wanli finished speaking, he turned to Xie Buyu and said, "You just stay here and wait. If you can't wait for us...you can do whatever you want."
Xie Buyou: "..." What a good one, take care of yourself.
No wonder no one stopped him from coming here. It turns out that no one can escape when the Demon Lord comes into the world, right?
The evil spirit quickly dissipated, and everyone was finally able to remove the protective shield to check on the people who had been invaded by the evil spirit.
Unfortunately, it was too late. All the monks who had come into contact with the evil spirit were silent without exception.
Several fellow Taoists have been lost before the cracks appear, and no one knows how tragic it will be after going down.
Among the group of people who came here, Mo Wanli's cultivation might not be the highest, but his martial arts strength was definitely the best, so he was the one to lead the team into the rift.
Among them were Tang Qingyan from Guijin Hall, Qianqiu Dai from Wanjian Sect, and a group of disciples.
There are also a small number of independent cultivators with high cultivation levels. After hearing about the upcoming birth of the Demon Lord, they came here without hesitation, just to do their best.
Only Xie Buyou and a small group of people were left there. While waiting for news, they also had to guard the place. They would know about the birth of the Demon Lord. As demons, they would never forget it, and they were also worried that the demons would take the opportunity to sneak in.
Not surprisingly, Mu Yinshen was also left there. After all, he was his direct disciple, and it was impossible for him to go down there and die together.
Mo Wanli was right. No one could escape after the Demon Lord was born. The seal from a thousand years ago made the demonic energy here so thick that it was impossible to see clearly. The overwhelming black fog dyed the sky grey-black, carrying a layer of deathly aura that lingered in people's hearts.
"Xie Senior Brother, the Sect Master and the others will be fine, right?"
Tang Su gently grabbed Xie Buyou's neatly-knitted cuffs, a worried look appearing on her face.
Just now, under the sudden demonic energy, he had already witnessed the power of the Demon Lord. The terrifying demonic energy and the people who were corroded by the demonic energy made him shiver.
Xie Buyu looked at him with a smile, which made Tang Su shudder. Then he said, "I don't know if they are okay, but our trouble is about to begin."
Before Tang Su could think carefully about what Xie Buyu said, she immediately heard other people's exclamations, "Look! They are resurrected!" Their tone was filled with shock.
Tang Su subconsciously followed the sound and looked at the corpse lying on the ground. The skin had turned purple after being corroded by the evil spirit. At this moment, the tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the red eyeballs immediately met Tang Su's gaze.
"careful!"
Before Tang Su could react, the 'corpse' had already attacked him. Seeing this, Xie Buyou immediately put Tang Su behind him, drew out the Zhaoyun Sword and slashed at the 'corpse'.
A sword hit the 'corpse', but the 'corpse' was unharmed. Xie Buyu immediately took Tang Su to dodge the attack of the 'corpse', and then took Tang Su away.
The few corpses on the ground now all staggered to their feet. Their dark purple skin, emaciated bodies, and a pair of scarlet eyes all showed that they had turned into demons.
The monks who understood demons couldn't help but take a breath of cool air and felt their scalps tingling at the same time. It takes a lot of time to make a demon, but the demons here turned into demons not long after just absorbing the demonic energy. It’s hard to imagine how long they would be trapped here if the demonic energy didn’t dissipate?
"Don't get hurt by the demons! Be careful of the evil spirit they carry!" someone warned.
Before he finished speaking, everyone had already started dealing with the corpses that had turned into demons.
The demon's claws are long and sharp, and everyone knows to avoid them. Fortunately, the demon moves slowly, so it is quite easy to deal with it.
The only bad thing was that the one chasing Xie Buyu was obviously faster, and when it swung its claws, only a shadow was left.
Xie Buyou felt that the demon was coming for him, otherwise why was it only targeting him? The others used magic to attack it but it had almost no reaction, and it ran towards him with a ferocious look on its face.
In order not to implicate Tang Su, Xie Buyou took Tang Su aside and immediately left. As he expected, the demon was coming for him alone. Even Tang Su, who was standing there, felt a little confused.
After several spell attacks and physical attacks, this demon was more difficult to deal with than expected. Its defense was higher and its target was clearer. Others who wanted to help could only deal with it from the sidelines and could not get involved at all.
In order to avoid the sharp claws, Xie Buyou kept backing away. It was not until he heard Tang Su shouting at him in panic that he realized that he had unknowingly come to the edge of the crack, with bottomless darkness at his feet.
Xie Buyou almost missed a step and fell down, but fortunately he jumped to the side and avoided it.
The demon was not so lucky. After Xie Buyou dodged, it was forced forward by the inertia of the attack and fell straight into a crack that was like an abyss.
"I was so scared, luckily it wasn't me who fell in."
Xie Buyou patted his chest, still feeling a lingering fear. If he wasn't prepared in such a deep place, he would be smashed to pieces.
The stone in his heart had just fallen to the ground, and when he turned around, a sword flashed in his eyes. By the time he reacted, he had been stabbed in the chest by a sword.
Xie Buyu stared down at the sword in front of his chest with his eyes wide open in disbelief. Then he looked up along the sword and saw that familiar face.
"Mu Yinshen..."
The person in front of him had a jade crown, long hair, and misty white clothes. At this moment, he was looking at him with a cold look that he could not understand.
This was something Xie Buyou had never seen in Mu Yinshen before, because the look in his eyes when he looked at him always carried the warmth of melted snow.
Xie Buyou smiled bitterly, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes. He died here after all. Didn't he know it from the very beginning?
The warm blood dyed the chest red, which was so glaring on the white cloth.
A trace of confusion flashed across Mu Yinshen's eyes, and then gradually he became clear-headed. He saw the injured Xie Buyou and the long sword in his hand. The sharp tip of the long sword penetrated deep into Xie Buyou's chest.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously reached out to grab Xie Buyou, but his hands seemed to be out of control and he pulled the sword back mercilessly. Red liquid spurted out as the sword was pulled out, splashing on his cheeks, like ice and snow on a cold day, making him feel as cold as a cave in an instant, as if his blood had solidified.
The person who was as soft and smudged as ink dropped into clear water in the rosy sun fell down in front of him. He reached out his hand again, and this time he didn't feel restrained, but he never touched the other person again, not even a piece of white cloth.
Xie Buyu fell into an abyss, his eyes squinting, and he seemed to be about to fall asleep. Before he completely fell into the abyss, he glanced at Mu Yinshen who stretched out his hand to him and looked at him sadly, and chuckled.
He didn't blame him.
It was just his fate.
The darkness eventually swallowed up the white. Mu Yinshen knelt at the edge of the crack and looked at the darkness below for a long time, unable to come back to his senses. Even the loud reminder from behind did not make him move at all.
The black evil energy appeared again, and this time it was even more violent than before. It was as thick as a huge net that made people breathless, and it gushed out from the cracks in an instant.
Mu Yinshen finally reacted. He looked up at the black evil energy that was as high as a city wall. What he thought in his heart was, let's just die like this, even if his body would become neither human nor ghost.
