Chapter 45: First Clear Day (Part 2) It’s really not right, Ayao. …
The blood flowing from Mingyao's wrist was diluted by the formation and spread clearly and quickly.
The formation was emitting bursts of blood-red light and floating above Ji Meng's body. Occasionally, a stone would roll down and disappear as if it had fallen into the vast ocean. It was extremely strange and weird.
"Fool, if you delay any longer, once the formation is completed, it will be even more troublesome."
Faced with Chu Ji's provocation, Xuan Xiu didn't even glance at her.
However, half of his consciousness was occupied by the inner demon, and Chu Ji's attack caused a hidden pain in his heart. While urging him to release the formation, the inner demon was filled with murderous intent, wanting to kill the culprit who started today's incident.
The noisy scolding mixed with Chu Ji's yelling repeatedly stirred in his mind, making him uneasy.
So noisy.
Xuanxiu lowered his eyes, and with his backhand, he used his immortal power to break three ribs.
After Mingyao woke up, the immortal power in his body was suppressed again because of the destiny man. Now only three or four out of ten are available for him to use.
The pain came clearly from the broken bone, interrupting the noise of the inner demon.
Xuanxiu took the opportunity to set his eyes on the formation, carefully identifying the ownership of the formation's spiritual power.
Unfortunately, he was raised among demons and ghosts by Chu Dianqing since he was young. He was engaged in killing, using immortal power as the source and supporting it with simple moves, and he seldom encountered obstacles.
Therefore, he only knew some basic variations of formations and talisman paper.
The current formation was extremely complicated and he couldn't figure it out. If he wanted to break the formation from the outside, he could only trace its source.
Immortal power is the culmination of spiritual power. As long as you find the distribution of spiritual power and break it with immortal power, this formation can be solved.
Xuanxiu quickly compared the spiritual power fluctuating between the formations with a serious expression.
**
This person is different from Xuan Hui.
After the words fell, he had no reaction.
After Chu Ji finished cursing, he saw that Xuanxiu did not respond, and he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
Xuan Hui appears to be dignified and serious on the surface, but in fact he cares a lot about reputation and has all the five vices of greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and doubt.
Stab him hard at his sore spot, seemingly calmly, but in fact it is like a turbulent undercurrent. His first reaction will be to struggle violently, or retaliate frantically, or kill him with one sword, hurting both him and himself.
And this one in front of me...
Chu Ji looked at the face carefully.
There was still a hint of blood burning between his brows, his eyes were scarlet, and the miasma had not subsided. He was now fully focused, and at least half of his mind was still controlled by the inner demon.
Logically speaking, what she had just said made her feel happy for a moment, but it also had the intention of provoking his immortal power to get out of control.
Once the immortal power gets out of control, it will damage the heart meridians.
When she takes over Mingyao's body, she can take the opportunity to slip away, which can be regarded as a way out.
However, nothing had happened as expected. This Immortal Lord Miaomiao didn't even bother to retort.
He is someone who can get things done.
Chu Ji felt a little cold in his heart. It was not a wise choice to make enemies with such a person.
But now she can't turn back.
This formation devoured Mingyao's blood and energy, forging a bond with her. If this Immortal Lord Miaomiao tried to break it today, Mingyao would also die.
The purpose of breaking it is to save Mingyao. If it is broken and Mingyao dies, then there is no point in doing this.
The Immortal King is in love for the first time and is indulging in it.
Her last words about destiny were not spoken casually, but were also meant to provoke the other party.
I just hope that this immortal king will not suddenly wake up from the fog of love, destroy the formation and kill Mingyao in order to preserve his immortal power.
What she was betting on now was nothing more than Immortal Lord Miaomiao's feelings for Mingyao.
How long can this kind of affection last? She was also worried.
Love is something that is fleeting. Although he had a demon in his heart, he did not tell Mingyao the truth.
Chu Ji smiled sarcastically, this kind of affection was somewhat true and somewhat false.
It was quite interesting. If she didn't have a grudge to take, she would really like to see how long he could like a destined person who could take away all his immortal power at any time?
Chu Ji turned his head and looked at Ming Yao's soul.
I couldn't help but feel a little pity for this mortal woman who had lived in ignorance until now. If she knew the truth, she would probably go crazy.
Unfortunately, now that the bet has been made, they have no way out.
All she has to do now is think about how to gain more bargaining chips.
**
“Huff, huff, huff…”
In Chu Ji’s memory.
Where no one has trodden, the long hairs are flying, and the winner is decided.
The field goblin, with half of its fur almost bitten off by itself, fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
Today, its name is Chu Ji.
Mingyao looked at the monster in front of her, and her image of its ferocious appearance with its bloody mouth wide open biting towards her appeared in her mind, and her mood was complicated.
It feels very strange to stand at the cause of something and look at the future result.
Judging from the previous conversation between Chu Ji and Xuan Hui.
Xuanxiu killed the demon king and suppressed him in the ghost town four hundred years ago.
Chu Ji was sealed in the cave three hundred years ago.
She had just come to this world two hundred years ago.
Now, she is possessed by Tian Xiao, and it will take about a few decades before she meets her again.
"Have you heard? There's a field goblin roaming around town. I've heard about it for a while now, and it's on the hook for killing many women."
Mingyao thought of the rumors in the town at that time, and his eyes fell on Chu Ji who was slowly standing up in front of him.
This Tianxiao had clearly been hungry for a long time before devouring her. Now, after a fight, the fierce gleam in Chu Ji's eyes was almost impossible to conceal.
Suddenly becoming a demon, she wanted to survive, but she could not go against Tian Xiao's nature——
Cannibalism.
"Sister." Chu Ji's voice suddenly came from the side of my ear again. Her tone was light and cheerful, as if there was nothing important just now. "Oh, I've seen it here."
"Don't read on for a minute. My sister is timid and might get scared."
Mingyao didn't agree with her words. She thought for a while before blurting out her guess: "After you escaped by borrowing Tian Xiao's body, are you unable to get away?"
The brisk breath paused for a moment.
“…”
Just when Mingyao thought she had disappeared again, Chuji still answered her.
"Yes, if I succeed in completely devouring the spirit of that Tian Xiao." Chu Ji's voice was higher than usual, rising slightly. "But sister, I've been trapped here for decades. It's a miracle that I can barely suppress this Tian Xiao. How can I devour it? Are you naive?"
"Or do you think, sister, that I want to devour the disgusting flesh and blood of my own kind?"
A cold laugh came from her ear. For the first time, Chu Ji showed such obvious sarcasm towards her: "Sister, you are so lucky that you have never experienced these hardships."
"Only a fat and strong pig, dragged out to be slaughtered, will show the same ridiculous naivety as you."
It's inexplicable, and it's a bit too much to start cursing.
Mingyao was scolded harshly, but she did not get angry at Chuji's words. There were many more unpleasant words in the fairy mountain. After nearly two hundred years of humiliation, she would not be easily broken.
On the contrary, Chu Ji's abnormal attitude made her smell something fishy.
It was understandable that Chuji didn't want her to see what happened next. But in fact, whether she saw it or not, they both knew that Chuji would follow Tian Xiao's instinct to eat people and the flesh and blood of his own kind.
She asked that question only to confirm her own guess. According to Chu Ji's usual style, if she guessed correctly, he would probably pretend to praise her for being smart.
What's wrong with that question?
When a word is spoken, the speaker may not feel offended, but the listener may become angry, which often leads to misunderstanding on the part of the listener.
Mingyao thought carefully about the question she had asked her several times. Because she had been mocked and humiliated by the people of the Immortal Mountain for many years, she quickly figured out the other meaning of her words.
Even though she just wanted to confirm her own guess when she said this, but to Chu Ji, it still sounded like a question of "Why do you want to go along with Tian Xiao and degenerate yourself?"
It’s understandable that Chu Ji was angry about this, but what he said next was very strange.
Is she lucky?
This tone sounds more like venting anger.
Just like in some families, parents abandon one child at home and keep another child with them, which makes it difficult for the child who is left at home to take out his anger on the other child.
This kind of anger even carries with it a hint of jealousy and helplessness.
But logically speaking, such a relationship cannot exist between her and me.
Mingyao silently kept doubts in his heart.
Chu Ji didn't get any response from her, and her face became uglier. When she thought of Immortal Lord Miaomiao who was behaving exactly the same as her outside, she became even more irritated.
What I hate most is people who talk for a long time but act like it has nothing to do with me.
But in order to successfully occupy her body, the conditions that he had proactively proposed must be fulfilled.
Mingyao must know about Xuanhui and the origin of Ji Meng's demonic body.
Chu Ji suppressed his impatience and forced himself to curl his lips. He leaned closer to Ming Yao's face and said, "Sister, I was wrong just now. My tone was a little harsh."
"But the part in between is really unimportant. It was just me fighting that monster. It was a very ugly scene. I was killed by the monk who hired you as bait. The monster died, and then I swallowed it and got through it."
"Originally, sister, I could have come directly to you, but Xuan Hui knew that I was still alive."
"Guess what he did to me?"
"I ran away for four years, but I ended up in his hands."
"This disguised demon body is a cage he set for me."
As Chu Ji finished speaking.
The weather suddenly changed.
Under the scorching sun, in the valley, Mingyao saw Xuanhui again.
"It's really ugly." After not seeing each other for decades, Xuan Hui looked a little more reserved, but still arrogant. "How does it feel to transform from a human into a monster?"
He was wearing his usual white robe, with fluttering sleeves, and he looked like an immortal.
And on the gravel in the valley, Chu Ji's soul was imprisoned by magic, and was almost shattered by the scorching sun.
He no longer had the strength to bare his fangs towards Xuan Hui.
Xuan Hui was satisfied, but not satisfied enough.
The Immortal King gently hooked his finger to summon Chu Ji's soul. Then, a stream of light appeared in the storage ring, and the huge valley was filled with a huge monster, which was the demon body of Ji Meng's bloodline.
The dragon-like and snake-like monster still had some breath left, and with every breath it took, it was like being surrounded by mountain fire.
Even after a hundred years, Mingyao still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw such a huge monster in his memory.
Obviously, Chu Ji was also afraid of this at this moment. Even though he was exhausted, he subconsciously turned to the side.
Xuan Hui turned a blind eye and only asked himself:
"Over the years, you've devoured a few Tianxiao spirits and inhabited other Tianxiaos, hiding here and there, yet you've always refused to stray too far from Shuangli Town..."
"What did you find?"
Xuan Hui looked at Chu Ji with a gleam in his eyes.
"Ha." Hearing Xuan Hui's question, Chu Ji seemed to have finally regained some strength and sneered softly, "Immortal Lord, you are really like a dog, coming here as soon as you smell something."
Mingyao looked at Xuanhui and saw that his eyes twitched slightly. He actually felt some admiration for Chuji. At this critical moment, Chuji still dared to offend Xuanhui and scolded him so harshly. It was really cruel.
After being married to Xuan Hui for so many years, she probably has some understanding of Xuan Hui's temperament. As an immortal king who kills demons, no matter how kind he is, he is also decisive and never says unnecessary nonsense.
Sure enough, Xuan Hui did not have a good face towards Chu Ji. Seeing that she did not accept his toast, he was too lazy to speak again.
He directly took out a small jade bottle from his arms, and formed a formation with one hand. As Xuan Hui recited, the earth shook and a complicated formation appeared under the monster's body.
Blood that was red to black poured out of the jade bottle.
Mingyao had read about many formations in the fairy mountain, and had copied and drawn many of them when she was bored, but she had never seen this formation before.
Chu Ji seemed to recognize the object in the bottle, and his spirit became much lighter: "Xuan Hui!"
She was frightened and shocked.
Seeing her recognition, Xuan Hui remained indifferent: "Don't you like being a demon? I specially found a demon body with the blood of the ancient demon Ji Meng for you."
"A monster like this is much more respectable than the Tianxiao who eats human flesh all day long."
He looked at Chu Ji with cold eyes.
When their eyes met, they were both extremely disgusted with each other.
"What are you going to do?" Chu Ji gritted his teeth.
"You have guessed it, so why ask more questions, Chu Ji, I hate stupid people." Xuan Hui clasped his index finger and thumb together and formed a formation in front of Chu Ji.
Chu Ji's soul seemed to be ignited by fire, burning out bit by bit. The fragmented light fell into the monster's body and was then condensed by the formation.
Ji Meng's lineage belongs to the water element and has the power to make it rain, but his demon body is extremely hot and he is trapped in it, suffering terribly.
As long as the monster was still alive, Chu Ji could balance himself against Tian Xiao, but he was definitely no match for him.
"Your conditions." Chu Ji was controlled by the fire and quickly gave in.
Xuan Hui got straight to the point: "The answer to the previous question."
Why are you lingering in Frost Pear Town?
"Will you let me go if I answer?" Chu Ji gritted his teeth and endured the pain, not answering immediately.
"This formation has fallen, and we can't retreat." Xuan Hui glanced at Chu Ji's miserable appearance with indifference, "If you answer, I will give you a pill so that you don't have to suffer from the scorching heat."
"Dream on!" Chu Ji flatly refused, "If you don't let me go, I will never tell you."
"Then there's nothing more to say."
Xuan Hui turned and left.
There had been a sudden earthquake and he was already on a cliff with rocks piled up on top.
Xuan Hui flew on his sword, and in just a breath, he was a hundred feet away from Chu Ji. After a few more breaths, his figure would disappear without a trace in front of her.
Chu Ji panicked. She had lost all her bargaining chips now, and it was useless to keep the secret.
"I tell you! I tell you!"
Chu Ji almost roared.
Xuan Hui stepped on the sword and looked at her in mid-air.
"I can tell you the answer, but you also have to tell me how to break the formation." Chu Ji gritted his teeth and forced out his words bit by bit, "Otherwise, even if it means death, I won't tell you."
"Deal." Xuan Hui's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm. "To show my sincerity, I can even tell you first that this method is very suitable for you."
He waved his hand, and a faint light penetrated into Chu Ji's soul.
"Now, tell me your answer."
After getting what he wanted, Chu Ji said decisively: "I found someone from another world."
"She's in Frost Pear Town."
Chu Ji paused, then showed a somewhat sarcastic look.
"Congratulations, Immortal Lord Xuanhui, you have another chance."
**
"There's no solution to this formation."
Beyond his memories, blood surged in Xuanxiu's throat. In order to calm his bloodthirsty heart and prevent himself from losing his mind, he avoided the vital parts and stabbed himself dozens of times.
The blood spread on her clothes, staining her favorite blue color.
If she saw him, she would be even more afraid of him.
Unfortunately, even so, he still had to go see her.
A faint smile appeared on Immortal Lord Miaomiao's face.
I'm so sorry, Ayao.
Using his fingers as blades, his immortal power penetrated his heart, severing his heart meridians.
He was falling down at a high speed like a bird without wings.
Living people cannot enter this formation, but dead objects can.
Since we can't solve it from the outside, let's go in and try.
