Chapter 55: First Day of Clearing (End) “The one that Immortal Xuan Hui loves most is you…
Done.
Mingyao let out a breath, half fell into Xuanxiu's arms, pinched Xuanxiu's shoulders and back, trying hard not to reveal any flaws.
When the magic weapon entered her body, she was a little nervous, but unexpectedly her bet was right.
Anything that can directly eat souls can indeed be considered a magical weapon.
But she had been in the fairy mountain for so long and had seen the world, but she had never heard of such a thing. In addition, Brother Lin said clearly that this blade could devour souls.
The moment he stepped back into the valley, he saw the demon body that had been chopped off by Xuanxiu.
She suddenly had some guesses.
Soul eating doesn't require any price, but soul devouring can easily backfire, so you have to put some pressure on it.
So maybe that's why Brother Lin was seriously injured?
Chu Ji didn't know that she had already learned the effect of this blade, so she concealed the news to avoid being frightened and unwilling to attack Xuan Xiu.
Xuanxiu was transformed from the innate qi. The immortal soul was facing a mortal soul like hers. If she really attacked Xuanxiu, she would definitely be bitten back by this blade.
Then Xuanxiu... would probably really follow her as she said.
Mingyao coughed up some blood.
Now, because of that bit of immortal power, she can clearly feel the state of her soul and body.
Chu Ji's knife didn't stab deep, and she didn't feel any pain when the blade entered her body. However, she felt a strange force carrying demonic energy that enveloped her and intended to tear her soul apart.
Chu Ji coexisted in Tian Xiao's body and was imprisoned in Ji Meng's demon body for a hundred years. Logically speaking, the strength of her soul should be much stronger than that of a mortal like her.
Therefore, she dared to insert the blade into her body, probably because she thought that she would be able to swallow her.
pity……
Mingyao leaned on Xuanxiu's shoulder, concealing his expression and gathering his thoughts. He looked at Chuji: "Your... original plan? Did you want to take revenge on Xuanhui?"
Hearing her voice weaken a little, Chu Ji raised his eyebrows and admitted frankly: "Yes, if you were me, would you not hate me? If I took over your body and went to see Xuan Hui, he would definitely be unprepared, and then I could kill him!" There was madness in her voice, "But everything was ruined by you, the good immortal."
"He killed this monster and ruined our escape."
"Miao Miao Immortal Lord, don't blame me. It was you who sent your beloved to his death."
Chu Ji then looked at Ming Yao again, "Or perhaps... Immortal Lord Miao Miao had this very idea. If she kills you, all the immortal power will belong to her. He did it without bloodshed. I was the one who did all the bad things, but he is the one who reaps the benefits."
Even at this time, they are still trying to sow discord.
Mingyao struggled to get up from Xuanxiu's arms and looked at her.
"You... really don't want to go home?"
"Go home? I can't go back anymore. Of course, sister, you can't go back either." Chu Ji paused for a moment, revealing an ambiguous smile. She glanced at the chaotic surroundings, her gaze fixed on the demonic body, "We... can't go back anymore."
Xuanxiu, who was half-embracing Mingyao, heard the words and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Mingyao didn't notice his abnormality, and waited for Chuji's answer with all her heart and eyes: "So, what you said was false. The statement that I can return home by absorbing all the immortal power is a lie."
"yes."
Now, in Chu Ji's eyes, the situation was set and there was no room for maneuver. She sat down, propped up her chin, and looked at Ming Yao: "To be honest... you are the most naive person I have ever met."
"Perhaps God has blessed you for this reason. If you hadn't followed Xuan Hui that day, perhaps we would have had a different ending."
Sure enough, she was lying to her.
After getting Chu Ji's confirmation in person, Mingyao tightly grasped Xuanxiu's hand and relaxed it a little. If she had a choice, she definitely didn't want to fight to the death with Xuanxiu.
Sensing her emotions, Xuanxiu gently patted her shoulders, and Mingyao's body unconsciously relaxed.
"But it's too late to say all this... After you die, I probably won't be able to survive either. But it doesn't matter. Although it's a bad choice, at least I can make Xuan Hui feel bad."
"If you and I go together, we will be home."
Mingyao's heart, which had just been put at ease, felt slightly relieved again after hearing these words.
I didn't think carefully about what she said just now, but now when I listen to it again, I feel that it is not right.
If it was because she was destined to die, why would Xuanhui feel bad if she died? Shouldn't he... be happy?
He didn't care that Xuanxiu was present.
"Xuan Hui doesn't love me." The demonic power in his body was still battling with Chao Qulai's immortal seal. Ming Yao felt a dull pain in his lungs and coughed many times before he finally managed to speak. "If I die... how could I take revenge on him? I can't make him feel good."
Chu Ji tilted his head to look at her and suddenly smiled: "You are wrong. In this world, the one he likes the most and loves the most is you."
"If you think about it, he probably doesn't want you to die even more than the Immortal Lord next to you."
"I'm really looking forward to his expression when he sees your corpse."
Mingyue, who was standing aside, was completely confused as this matter had nothing to do with him.
But seeing Mingyao spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, he couldn't help but panic and tiptoed towards Mingyao and Xuanxiu.
But it would have been better if he didn't move, because this movement was noticed by Chu Ji.
"I've forgotten about you." Chu Ji floated to Ming Yue, "I have to deal with you before I die."
Mingyue was frightened by Chuji's words and no longer cared about her image. She ran towards Mingyao in a panic.
Chu Ji didn't stop him.
He simply possessed himself and came before the demon head, closed his eyes, and pulled out one of its souls.
Mingyao was stunned.
What came out of the monster was clearly another incomplete soul.
The three souls of heaven, earth and man.
The human soul is the gathering place of desires.
The Heavenly Soul is the soul that enables people to eat, drink, live, sleep and act.
The earth soul is the intersection of human destiny and the soul of the main fate.
The human soul and the heavenly soul are both similar to the true form of human beings, but this is the remnant soul that Chu Ji pulled out.
Mingyao recognized it at a glance. It was the soul of Brother Lin?
Chu Ji glanced at Ming Yao and said, "In my memory, we only met briefly, but you still remember him?"
"It's probably just the fate of fools." She sneered.
As this soul was pulled out, Mingyue, who had been hiding behind Xuanxiu, could no longer control herself and walked forward step by step from behind.
His eyes were full of panic, but when he met Chu Ji's eyes, he suddenly calmed down.
The remnant soul spoke of Chu Ji's pulling and fell into Mingyue's body.
Mingyao was startled and was about to stop him, but was stopped by Xuanxiu: "Ayao, that was the remnant soul of Mingyue's previous life."
Mingyao paused what he was doing.
A remnant soul from a previous life? Is Mingyue the reincarnation of that Brother Lin? Mingyao couldn't wait to think about it.
The remaining soul quickly disappeared from Mingyue's body. Mingyue stared at the person in front of her, feeling uncertain and doubtful: "...Miss Ran?"
"It's me."
Chu Ji's eyes were complicated when he answered.
"What happened? Now... when was it?" Mingyue suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person. Her eyes swept over the demon's body that had been cut into two parts, and her eyes lit up. "Are we done?"
"right."
"That's great." Mingyue's tone was full of joy. "I told you I could help you."
"Thank you."
"No need to thank me, it was Miss Ran who helped us first."
Looking at Mingyue's precious eyes, Chuji opened his mouth, said nothing more, and waved his hand in front of Mingyue's eyes, and Mingyue fell down.
…
"Don't worry, he will be fine." Chu Ji, who had finished everything, noticed Mingyao's nervous movements, looked at Mingyao, whose face was becoming paler, and turned back with a bright smile.
Then he glanced at Xuanxiu again: "Immortal Lord, honestly, today, that one strike of yours destroyed everything."
"Originally, this remnant soul was raised with me in my demon body. If today's matter goes well, I only need my sister to enter the demon body, and my sister's spirit will give him a bit of vitality, and this human soul will be able to cultivate to perfection."
"In this way, we only need to merge his human soul into his body in the future, and he will be alive again."
"And now, this remnant soul has entered his body in the next life, and it can only be a false memory."
"It's really... disheartening."
"However, now, Immortal Lord, you can only watch my sister slowly die in your arms. You can understand a little bit of my feelings."
Chu Ji laughed happily.
Hearing what Chu Ji said.
Mingyao was slightly stunned. She originally thought that Brother Lin’s injured soul was possessed by Lin Yue.
If that wasn't the case, then why did Chu Ji go to save Lin Yue for no reason? And why did he even hold onto his life?
Mingyao tried hard to endure the backlash in his body, but now he has reached his limit.
He wanted to ask more questions, but the backlash stirred his lungs and he vomited more blood.
In Chu Ji's eyes, she had obviously misunderstood.
There was pity in her eyes, and the original jealousy was soothed, leaving only the sadness of sympathy.
"Sister... all of this happened because of you."
"Now, it can finally come to an end."
Mingyao didn't have time to talk to her at this moment. She had a lot more to want to know. Chu Ji's information was too fragmented, and she found it difficult to connect the dots. However, even with the addition of immortal power, she could no longer control the backlash.
After a few breaths of blood spurted out of Mingyao's mouth, the backlash burst out from Mingyao's body and returned to Chuji.
Chu Ji miscalculated one thing.
This magical weapon that can devour souls entered her body. Originally, her mortal soul should have been no match for Chu Ji's soul, which had been weathered by many hardships and was imbued with demonic power.
Unfortunately... Chu Ji didn't know that Mingyao's soul still had an immortal seal on it.
And this mark belongs to Chao Qulai.
When Mingyao first came to Shuangli Town, her soul was imprisoned by Chao Qulai. Now, her soul does not belong to her.
If Chu Ji wants to succeed in devouring souls, he must first fight with Chao Qulai.
And it was obvious... her soul was no match for Chao Qulai. The backlash from Chu Ji should have manifested itself in her soul much sooner, but Mingyao was trying to extract more information before the backlash arrived. Relying on the immortal power within her, she suppressed the backlash.
Now the backlash could no longer be suppressed, and the intense tearing sensation spread to Chu Ji's soul.
The backlash was so fierce that Chu Ji's soul was like shattered glazed tiles, with cracks appearing all over it.
Ming Yao didn't have time to wipe the blood from her lips. Her heart was filled with anxiety and the immortal power in her body surged wildly. She subconsciously threw herself to Chu Ji's side, trying to stop Chu Ji's soul from collapsing.
But the incident happened too quickly, and Mingyao was not proficient in mobilizing his spiritual power.
There was even still some trace of previous smugness on Chu Ji's face, but half of his spirit had already disappeared.
When she saw Mingyao rushing to her side, there was a reaction in her eyes, as if she was filled with hatred and relief.
His lips were slightly parted, as if he was saying something.
Mingyao leaned over to listen, but only heard a few faint tail sounds -
"You think... you're the only one?"
The words fell and the soul was gone.
Mingyao sat there, unable to recover. She had thought that the backlash would take Chu Ji's life, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
It was not until Xuanxiu came forward to support her that she stood up and slowly came to her senses.
Xuanxiu wiped the blood from Mingyao's lips.
He didn't care about Chu Ji's death. Now his immortal power connected him with Ming Yao, and he could sense Ming Yao's life and death and injuries.
Now, he cares about another thing——
"Ayao, the immortal seal on your soul came from..." Xuanxiu paused, as if thinking, "Towards the Hand of Return?"
"Are you acquainted with Chao Qulai?"
**
"Five days later, Lingxu Cave Mansion"
I'm still late.
After traveling all the way here, Xuan Hui frowned as he looked at the demon body in front of him that was already infested with rotten worms.
Ran Chuji is dead and the magic circle is broken.
This trace... is undoubtedly Xuanxiu.
We met again.
Xuan Hui's face turned pale, and the sword in his hand hummed according to the master's will.
"My Lord, do you believe what I say now?" A faint black shadow emerged from the sword.
"We failed to catch Chao Qulai, and Mingyao also gained immortal power. We are completely defeated."
"Fortunately, that good girl Chu Ji didn't reveal everything."
"But if you continue like this, your fate will be no different from that of the current Immortal Mountain Master."
"How long do you think we can keep this secret?"
"Shut up." Anger appeared between Xuan Hui's cold eyebrows.
The shadowy figure was clearly not afraid. It circled around Xuan Hui, whispering in his ear in a very intimate manner, yet its words were harsh: "Why are you so angry, Immortal Lord? Look, even Mingyao had to be told about his immortal powers by me."
A mocking look flashed in the black shadow's eyes. He let go of Xuan Hui and floated into a sea of rotten flesh and blood in the valley, looking up at the almighty Immortal Lord.
"I have already convinced the demon tribe."
"As for you, Immortal Lord, you also know that although the Heavenly Mandate can directly mobilize all the immortal power in Miaomiao's body, because they are mortals, they cannot retain the immortal power in their bodies for a long time."
"At this time, it is often easiest for mortal souls to leave their bodies. In other words, Immortal Lord, you still have one chance—"
"'Killed' Mingyao."
Four words come out of his mouth.
The already deadly silence in the cave grew even quieter. Xuan Hui did not respond to him.
The shadow curled his lips, not caring: "Or, has the Immortal Monarch really developed feelings for Mingyao after spending two hundred years on him?"
"No way?"
The black shadow waved his sleeves, and the blood river in the valley surged, and countless corpses piled up from the ground.
The bones are white, soaked in blood, and full of resentment.
"Immortal Lord," the shadowy figure reminded him with a smile, "We've already killed so many useless 'destined beings'. Our great cause is almost complete. Do you still want to care about a mere Mingyao?"
A gust of wind blew in from somewhere in the valley.
Bone-chilling cold.
Looking at the pile of corpses.
Xuan Hui's eyes grew colder inch by inch.
All those bloody scenes from the past came flooding back to my mind.
"Immortal Lord, please let me go..."
At that time, the still young Ran Chuji vomited and had diarrhea in front of him, crying and sobbing, but he did not let her go.
Now... why bother pretending to be soft-hearted?
He's just a little Ming Yao, why can't he be killed?
If he really waited until she became something powerful, he would die without a burial place.
If he wants to survive, he has to "kill" her.
