Chapter 23: The Heart Demon Immortal Lord knows love and hate one day.
"What's that over there?"
In the early morning, a few rays of light leaked out from the cracks in the sky. After the rain stopped and the sky cleared up, the mist in the mountains gradually dissipated, making the scenery even brighter.
In Xuyou Mountain, cultivators below the Jindan level went to the back mountain in groups of three or two to practice.
Halfway through the walk, I felt something strange.
On the hillside of the front mountain, the majestic immortal power that is almost impossible to ignore is rapidly spreading and overflowing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The immortal power dissipated and the monk was about to die.
Is this... an immortal king about to fall?
Everyone was bewildered. The Immortal Mountain had been peaceful recently, and there had been almost no bad news from the famous Immortal Lords.
So who do these immortal powers belong to?
＊
A man of destiny.
Inside the house, Xuanxiu watched the immortal power in his body overflow uncontrollably, and lingered around Mingyao for a long time.
Some vague memories were squeezed out from the chaotic sea of consciousness.
"Dian Qing, this child is just a puppet, a vessel. Can't you figure that out? He does have an immortal body, but his immortal power is merely borrowed. One day, he will be snatched away by the Destined One. We can't suppress these rebellious immortals with him!"
"I know. But there's no other way. The immortal power he was born with is the only possible solution to this hidden danger. It's a gift from the higher realms, and we can't waste it. I'll use the blood parasite to contain him. With his natural bloodline as a guide, he'll become the sharpest sword in our hands to slay the rebellious immortals."
"As for the destined one...if she comes from another world, then she'll be killed."
Yes, the immortal power originally belonged to her.
So, if he can walk between life and death with his immortal power, then so can she.
A glimmer of light flashed in Xuanxiu's eyes. He felt his vital point with ease. At the moment of his death—
His immortal energy stagnated, and before he died, he fell into the icy river again, between life and death.
This is the first time in hundreds of years that Xuanxiu has come here alive.
Those dark shadows no longer had the arrogance and provocation of the past. They were suppressed by his immortal power and could not move.
Only a dark shadow was still squatting on the shore waiting for him. Xuanxiu recognized him; they had met once when he was fourteen years old.
"You're here." The black shadow seemed very happy to see him again. "You're able to come here alive. It seems that your destined person has died as Dianqing and the others wished."
The shadow's words were unusually blunt: "You can feel it, the shackles that the child named Mingyao brought to you have disappeared."
The sharp icy thorn hidden in the words pierced Xuanxiu's heart.
But the black shadow was not wrong. The moment he entered this place, he realized that the constraints of the immortal power imposed by the destiny man had completely disappeared.
Now the remaining immortal power in his body is completely at his disposal.
Her condition was completely different from the last time we met in the ghost town when she was on the verge of death.
At that time, Mingyao was about to die, and the immortal power in his body was like a trapped beast fighting to the bitter end, churning and stirring non-stop. With just a slight contact, the immortal power could not wait to return to her body and save her life.
The same is true in the illusion of the resentful ghost. With blood as the medium, if he does not interfere, the immortal power is almost controlled by her.
Now... I realize the hidden meaning of the shadow's words.
Xuanxiu's hands hanging at his sides tightened unconsciously, "Why not?"
Why can’t Mingyao do it?
The dark figure sighed: "Immortal Lord, haven't you discovered it yet?"
"This immortal power can only be used by her when she is willing. If she is determined to die, this immortal power, no matter how strong it is, will be nothing but an ownerless thing and will be of no use at all."
"In other words, she volunteered to die."
The shadow's face was blurry, but a hint of compassion could be seen in his expression. "That's why you can now mobilize all your immortal power, and that's why she has no cure."
Voluntarily go to death.
The answer that I was unwilling to face was confirmed again.
She died because of Xuan Hui, and her relationship with He Li was severed, and she ended her life.
When she got the divorce letter, she had already made up her mind to die, so within just a few days, she looked haggard and dazed. Thinking about what she said to Xuanhui last night, every word was a farewell.
It was his wishful thinking that he could replace her with just a little charity and mercy from her and a face that resembled her lover.
When they first met in the ghost town, she reached out to him because of Xuan Hui, and cried for him because of Xuan Hui.
To her, he was only important because she still had some awe for the death of others, which gave rise to some sympathy and compassion. After all, he was no different from the vengeful ghost in the inn.
The ignored details are constantly magnified and clear before your eyes.
A sarcastic smile appeared in Xuanxiu's eyes.
Except for Wushan, there are no clouds.
So even if he could pretend to be a brother, she wouldn't want to.
I would rather die than have a fake one.
Love brings separation, resentment meets, and what you desire cannot be obtained.
All kinds of demons are coming to you.
Dense and unfamiliar emotions began to surge, and the jealousy and malice that grew from nowhere gave Xuanxiu a splitting headache and almost drove him crazy.
Once the Immortal King learns about love and hate, the inner demon will be born.
But at this point, he still wanted to save her the most and couldn't let go.
A hoarse and unpleasant voice, rising from the depths of his heart, whispered softly in his ear—
"She was just a mortal. Even if she had a destiny, once she died, she was dead. She had no resentment or anger, and she couldn't even transform into a ghost. She simply vanished from this world, leaving no trace."
"What else can you do?"
He had no solution, nothing he could do.
"Do you have a limit on how many times you can revive? What if this is the last time?"
What she asked him came true and happened to her.
The shadowy figure standing aside watched Xuanxiu's eyes gradually turn red. He was a little surprised, and after a moment of hesitation, a look of pity appeared between his brows. He sighed softly, "How pitiful, Immortal Lord, you have entered the mortal world."
She looked far away towards the end of the glacier.
As expected, the unchanging glacial land finally had the first breeze blowing through it at this moment.
The master of this place is haunted by inner demons, his immortal power is failing, and the seal that has been in place for hundreds of years is beginning to loosen.
The evil spirits piled up like a mountain behind him are ready to make a move.
Even the black shadow couldn't help but sigh when he saw this——
"What a pleasant surprise."
Thinking of the woman from another world, a smile appeared on the black shadow's lips.
"Thank you so much, Mingyao."
Xuanxiu's inner demons surged, and the rebellious evil spirits that had been suppressed for many years lost their shackles and seized the opportunity to come out one after another.
But they were not allowed to be arrogant for too long. Before long, the inner demons were restrained by another force.
At this time, the black shadow had reached the front of the exit and felt a familiar breath. Although he knew the risk, he still stopped and looked back for a moment.
"It's a method of Dianqing."
With just one glance, the black shadow recognized him and used blood ties to imprison Xuanxiu's soul and consciousness. If necessary, he would erase his will and take over the body.
"Really impressive." The shadow admired sincerely, "So cruel, so decisive, so heartless, but what a pity..."
She changed the subject: "It's a pity that you didn't know people well enough. The person you chose was a step too late."
Miaomiao, this child, has now awakened to the world of love and has entered the mortal world. She is truly a spirit. How can she still be controlled by you as before?
Now, this blood parasite has become a very bad idea.
＊
"I can't control it anymore!"
Outside the glacier, in a not very spacious house, the mountain master and several immortal lords in charge of Xuyou Mountain had all arrived. With grim faces, they made hand gestures and arranged an array, barely able to contain the rebellious evil spirit that came out of Xuanxiu's body within the magic weapon.
But there were too many resentful spirits in Xuanxiu's body, and in just a cup of tea, the magic weapon had reached its limit.
"Damn it, when Dian Qing suppressed these evil spirits in Miaomiao's body, were there so many of them?"
"Or perhaps they absorbed Miaomiao's evil thoughts and became more differentiated."
"The evil thoughts of coveting my brother's wife are not unforgivable. I wouldn't let these evil spirits grow so fat and powerful."
Under the tension, several immortal kings in charge trembled and began to mutter without restraint.
"Shut up! Stop talking, be quiet, and let Xuan Hui focus on casting the spell!"
The mountain master felt a headache after hearing this and interrupted them harshly.
Not long ago, immortal power overflowed here, and was noticed by the immortal lord guarding the mountain and reported it. Several people hurried over, and just by observing from a distance, he realized that something was wrong. This immortal power was extremely pure, far superior to his own. There was no one else here who had such immortal power.
Something happened to Xuanxiu.
When he broke into the room with Xuan Hui and several immortals around him, he saw that the mortal who had just reconciled with Xuan Hui was already dead.
Xuanxiu held her tightly in his arms, and the immortal power in his body wrapped her tightly, as if he didn't want others to see her.
The room was empty, and a very conspicuous piece of white paper was scattered next to Mingyao.
Divorce letter.
After practicing for a long time, they could see the words even from a few steps away.
Thinking of the rumors that were making rounds in the mountains a few days ago.
Several immortals in charge immediately had a guess. This girl was usually timid, weak and tearful. She was heartbroken and fell ill because of the divorce. Could she have died because of it?
What kind of storyline is this?
Looking at Xuanxiu's expression at this moment, he noticed someone coming but didn't react at all. He looked gloomy and more like the woman's husband than Xuanhui.
Oh my, didn't Xuanxiu just return to the mountain? When did this happen? Why did he...
Having lived for hundreds of years, they had guessed the general situation in a short time. They originally thought that the matter was not difficult to handle, but now that it has been deadlocked for a long time, they suddenly lost confidence in their hearts.
If we don't wake Xuanxiu up or knock him unconscious, it will be disastrous if the rebellious immortal's vengeful spirit breaks through the magic weapon and escapes.
The center of the formation.
Cold sweat oozed from Xuan Hui's forehead, his knuckles turned white, and he used all his strength to finally awaken the blood parasite planted in Xuan Xiu's body.
Almost in an instant, the blood vessels all over Xuanxiu's body, as dense as a spider web, had turned deep red and were about to collapse.
The scattered immortal power was barely gathered inward, but it refused to return to its original position for a long time.
No, Xuan Hui gritted his teeth. The current situation was not right. He had seen A Niang use this technique. Every time the technique was completed, Xuan Xiu would lose consciousness.
But now he has pushed the power of this technique to its limit, even to the point where it can erase his soul, but the person in front of him remains indifferent, still with red eyes and a demonic look.
"Chu Miaomiao--" Xuan Hui forced out his name between his teeth, trying to awaken a trace of his rationality.
Few people knew about the Xuyou Immortal Mountain, that the Immortal Mountain was jointly governed by the Xuan and Chu families, with the Xuan family in the open and the Chu family in the dark.
It’s just that the Chu family has been studying the law of fate, and since their bloodline is rare, they have gradually become unknown.
After they were born together, he stayed in the fairy mountain and was named Xuanhui.
Xuanxiu was sent to the mortal world and named Chu Miaomiao. He was not brought back to the fairy mountain until he was sixteen years old. However, due to concerns about his fate, his identity was not made public.
He is known as Miaomiao Immortal Lord to outsiders, and others just think that he is an extraordinary genius who suddenly appeared in the fairy mountain.
In his inner circle, his mother changed his name to "Chu. The Xingqing lineage ends with me."
"He has immortal power and a destiny. I can no longer teach him."
From then on, it was named Xuanxiu.
Perhaps, he was more familiar with the name Chu Miaomiao. In the past, when A Niang used this method to restrain him, she also called him by this name -
"Chu Miaomiao!"
Xuan Hui shouted loudly, and blood oozed from the corners of his lips due to the backlash of the blood parasite.
Fortunately, the blood parasite rooted in Xuanxiu's body finally reacted to this sound.
Xuanxiu raised his head and glanced at Xuanhui.
However, his consciousness was affected by his inner demons, and it took him a long time before he finally recognized who the person in front of him was. After his long eyelashes trembled slightly, he lowered his eyes again and hugged Mingyao in his arms a little tighter.
…
The several immortal kings who were paying close attention to the situation here were almost laughing out loud at the absurd scene before them.
They worked so hard here and risked their lives to keep the evil spirit away, not to let Xuanxiu hold on to someone else's wife.
"Xuan Hui, take Ming Yao out of his arms!"
The mountain master, who reacted faster, hit the nail on the head.
Since all kinds of skills are useless, we can only start from the root.
At this moment, Xuan Hui's blood parasite was at its peak and almost exhausted. Hearing the words of the mountain master, his gaze moved down and he looked at Ming Yao for the first time since he entered the room.
His breathing paused slightly.
But the one who was more perceptive was Xuanxiu, almost the moment he set his eyes on Mingyao.
The pair of red eyes looked at him warily.
Xuan Hui's eyebrows drooped slightly. As early as the first time he met Xuan Xiu in the ghost town, he had noticed that Xuan Xiu had ulterior motives. His repeated warnings were useless, which led to such an ugly situation.
"Xuanxiu, Mingyao is my first wife."
Remind again.
Their eyes met.
Immortal Miaomiao, who had developed a demon in his heart, understood what he said. He raised his eyebrows, slowly revealed a rather sarcastic look, and said in a hoarse voice: "It used to be."
"But now you have no relationship."
The two men refused to give in and remained in a stalemate for a while.
Until another piece of white paper fell into Xuan Hui's hands, one of the immortals in charge who was setting up the formation in the corner shouted loudly: "Xuan Hui, let that little bastard take a good look at this thing!"
"My husband is like my face..."
Xuan Hui scanned the few black words on the white paper in front of him.
The writer was obviously very emotional, and there were traces of tears that had dried on one corner of the paper.
After a quick read and a moment of silence——
"Chu Miaomiao, but she is willing to go with me."
The last letter with traces of tears was delivered to Xuanxiu.
