Chapter 99 The Truth (15) The Ghost
Walk, walk.
Mingyao was very angry. A nameless fire started to rise from the place where Xuanxiu had kissed her, and the flames gradually spread to her heart, burning it until it was scorched.
I cursed in my heart.
She opened her mouth to curse.
But she could only watch Xuanxiu use the magic weapon to capture Lin Rui and put it in her hands.
He raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and kissed the corners of her lips gently. He seemed to be amused by her angry look. He couldn't stop smiling and his voice was so gentle that it could squeeze water out of her.
"Ayao, I'll be fine, trust me."
I don’t believe you!
She cursed over and over again in her mind, but still couldn't stop the current situation.
Her body was controlled by a force. She turned stiffly and trotted away uncontrollably without looking back. The more she wanted to stop, the faster she ran.
The direction is unclear.
The formation was neither too big nor too small, and there were places she hadn't been to yet. She didn't know the way either.
Mingyao was so angry at Xuanxiu that his head hurt. He cursed him over and over again, calling him a fool, a psychopath, and a lunatic. It was obvious that he had very little spiritual power left in his body, yet he still had time to control himself.
Before long, she was already very far away from the cave. She barely looked around, but she didn't know where she had run to.
A wisp of Xuanxiu's immortal power stimulated the potential in her body. She ran until her throat was dry, but she couldn't stop.
My throat is dry and my eyes are tearful.
Being angry.
Unfortunately, no matter how angry she was, she could only run non-stop, running all the way to an empty yard before she reluctantly stopped. She was then manipulated into moving the debris in a corner of the yard, opening the board, and hiding inside along the ladder.
I don’t know when Xuanxiu was found.
She was pressed against the wall, and apart from the faint green light emitted by Lin Rui's magic weapon in her hand, there was no light around her.
Mingyao pursed his lips.
She thought to herself that she must not say another word to Xuanxiu. With his fragile skin now, how many beatings could he withstand?
I haven't learned much else, but I know how to be a hero.
Well, since he wanted her to leave so much, she might as well hide here for dozens of hours with peace of mind.
There is no need to think about how to bring him back to the modern era.
It saves a lot of trouble.
When the time comes, she will clap her hands and leave without any worries, and when she returns she will arrange for herself some delicious food and fun activities.
Go skiing in the Alps in winter and diving in Bali in summer.
The world is so big, what is he?
At most a month, she wouldn't remember what he looked like. This was all just a real-life game, so why would she remember an NPC?
He said harsh words one by one.
Tears fell one by one.
Fool, psychopath, lunatic.
She didn't want to owe him a life.
The dim light in her hand made her feel uncomfortable. When she finally calmed down, she didn't know how much time had passed. The surroundings were eerily quiet.
She moved her fingers gently and found that although her whole body still could not move much, her hands had some strength.
Maybe she could release Lin Rui and let Lin Rui release her.
In this way, she could rush back and continue to fight with Xuan Hui and the black shadow.
As long as she could hold out until the time was up, she would have a way to take him away with her.
Mingyao scratched her fingers, trying to quickly open the restriction on the outside of the magic weapon, but it was too difficult. She was sweating all over and her palms were becoming more and more clammy, but she still couldn't open the restriction.
I was in a hurry and didn't hold it firmly.
The magic weapon in his hand rolled out, hit a hard object with a click, and then stopped moving completely.
So close yet so far away.
Mingyao stretched his hands hard, but couldn't reach it.
Damn it.
The last glimmer of hope was extinguished.
Mingyao was panicked and confused.
The cellar was dug very deep, completely isolating the sound of rain outside. Apart from her own breathing, no other sound could be heard.
Calm down, Mingyao, be calm.
Closing his eyes and trying to adjust his thoughts, Mingyao thought that the worst had not yet come.
Heiying and Xuanhui wouldn't be that stupid.
The condition they agreed upon was to save that idiot Miaomiao's life. If they broke their promise, she would not do as they wished.
Therefore, she had to go back and pick someone up before the countdown of the formation ended.
It would be fine if Heiying and Xuanhui didn't know about the countdown. She could even take a gamble. When the time was up, she would directly make a deal with Xianyin and take Miaomiao away.
But... Mingyao felt uneasy.
Can she really believe that divine sound?
Just now, when she saw Xuan Hui and the black shadow for the first time, an inopportune thought popped up in her mind.
How did they get in?
How did he find her and Miaomiao?
And the timing of her entry was such a coincidence, just when she was about to get through it.
She didn't dare think about it any further.
She didn't dare to gamble whether Xuan Hui and Hei Ying knew about the countdown. If they knew, she was afraid that the moment she knew, it would be the day Miao Miao died.
So, she had to go back in person.
After sorting out his thoughts, Mingyao managed to calm down a bit. Xuanxiu's immortal power was already running out, and although he could barely control her, since her hands could move now, perhaps her legs could also move.
Mingyao tried to use his foot to hook the magic weapon that fell to the side, but in the end he was controlled by the immortal power, and the action of hooking was too difficult.
His feet could only keep holding the magic weapon, which was squeezed between hard objects and made a dull sound.
Bang bang bang.
Mingyao didn't notice that the impact had broken the barrier of the magic weapon, and the dark green ghost energy was slowly coming out of the gap, carrying the fishy smell she had smelled in the ghost town, and climbing towards her little by little.
A cold hand suddenly brushed past her ear.
"Got you, sis."
“It smells so good.”
The dark green ghost energy transformed into a human form, surprisingly it was Lin Rui's appearance, but there was no consciousness in her eyes, only greed -
"Sister, let me have a bite."
"Just one bite."
**
"Tsk, Immortal Lord Miaomiao is really stubborn."
Inside the cave, it was already night and about to dawn. After several hours of torture, Xuanxiu still couldn't tell Mingyao's whereabouts.
Xuanxiu was lying on the ground, his clothes were soaked with blood, and he looked very miserable.
He was breathing out more than breathing in, and he would die in a few more moments.
But he was smiling.
The kind of smile that made Xuan Hui hate, despise, and look down on everything.
Even death could not frighten him.
His eyebrows twitched, and demonic energy surged in Xuan Hui's body.
The next moment, the sword in his hand was against Xuanxiu's eyebrows.
"Brother, why don't you stab downwards?" Xuanxiu smiled with his eyes curved. "Are you afraid?"
"Shut up!"
"Xuan Hui!" At the same time, the shadow behind him raised his voice and stopped Xuan Hui's movements, "We can't kill him. If he dies, Ming Yao won't cooperate with us."
The smile on Xuanxiu's lips deepened, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
The laughter made him cough lightly a few times, and his blood rushed to his head, but he had to suppress it.
"What are you laughing at?" Hearing the noise, Xuan Hui's cold eyes seemed to be poisoned.
"Brother, why deceive yourself? I think what you think."
It is really shameful that the next master of Xuyou Immortal Mountain, the Xuanhui Immortal Lord who hates evil, would listen so obediently to the words of a rebellious evil spirit.
Their eyes met, and disgust for each other was revealed on their similar faces.
The sword blade slid down an inch, cutting Xuanxiu's forehead and dripping blood.
"Miaomiao Immortal Lord, please be quiet. If he really goes crazy, I won't be able to stop him." The black shadow beside him looked down at Xuanxiu condescendingly. "Besides, Immortal Lord, you haven't experienced the suffering of others, so why mock him like this?"
The suffering of others.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xuanxiu's eyes.
"Why bother putting it so nicely? I just saw there was no hope of ascending, so I'm looking for another way."
As soon as the words fell, there was silence for a moment.
The shadow narrowed his eyes, squatted down, and looked at the dying Xuanxiu: "When did Immortal Lord Miaomiao know?"
Xuanxiu is not stingy——
"The tombs of the various mountain masters here, the rebellions that came and went, and his requests are not difficult to guess."
"Thousands of years ago, it was impossible for the cultivators in the Immortal Mountain to ascend to heaven."
"That's why the rebellious immortals were born."
The black shadow didn't say anything when he heard this, but just glanced at Xuanxiu's face quietly and put his hand on the wound on his shoulder.
Use all your strength.
"You are so annoying. Your expressions make me angry."
"To be honest, between you and Xuan Hui, you are more like Dian Qing."
"Just as high and mighty, so arrogant."
The black shadow stood up and floated to the tombs.
After reading each name, her thoughts drifted away, but she did not deny Xuanxiu's words.
A light voice, love and hate are hard to distinguish, with a dull calmness -
"You guessed right, and you guessed wrong."
"It wasn't thousands of years ago. It was the moment when Xuyou Immortal Mountain fell into the mortal world that it was destined to be unable to ascend."
She turned and looked at Xuanxiu: "Where did you come from?"
"A moment in the immortal world is a hundred years in the mortal world."
"Even though these immortals are in trouble, they still can't let go of their past glory."
"About ten thousand years ago, the heavens were struck by disaster. The immortals of the Immortal Mountain lineage were unwilling to perish and wanted to preserve their immortal lineage. They were forced to come to the human world, hoping to seek refuge and then find an opportunity to return to the immortal world."
"But, of course, that's just wishful thinking."
"They soon discovered that not only was returning to the fairyland hopeless, but even their fairy mountain was in danger."
"The immortal power of the immortal world and the spiritual power of the earth world are not connected."
"This means that these immortals cannot absorb the spiritual energy of the earth. If they want to survive, they can only stay in Xuyou Immortal Mountain and never leave."
"But even so, the immortal power of the Immortal Mountain is still being consumed crazily. If we can't find a solution, they will die along with the Immortal Mountain in just a hundred years."
There was a flash of sarcasm in the shadow's eyes.
"Miao Miao Immortal Lord, not everyone is as fearless as you, and these immortals are no exception."
"They tried various methods, but nothing could slow down the collapse of the immortal power."
"Until... they discovered that although they couldn't absorb the spiritual energy of the earthly realm, if they mate with mortals, the mortals would give birth to half-immortals, and the half-immortals would continue to mate with mortals, giving birth to children with spiritual veins. These children with spiritual veins would continue to practice and absorb spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy would be transferred through these children's bodies."
"A portion of the earth's spiritual power will be transformed into the immortal power they need and supplied to the entire immortal mountain to ensure the survival of the immortal bloodline."
"And we, the so-called mortal cultivators, are all just nutrients without exception."
"What's this about ascension? It's nothing but a scam."
"The faster you break through, the faster you will be swallowed up by the Immortal Mountain."
"Miao Miao Immortal Lord, you probably don't understand how much pain and suffering a mortal has to endure, how much he has to give up, and how much he has to give up, starting from Qi training, to building a foundation, and then to forming a pill, before he can reach the realm of ascension."
"After so much difficulty arriving here, I discovered it was all a scam. The so-called ascension is nothing more than a way for you to die."
"All the evil spirits who rebelled against the immortals came from this place, Immortal Lord."
"If it were you, would you rebel?"
Xuanxiu didn't say anything, but the rebellious evil spirit in his body that he had suppressed seemed to be able to hear the accusation of the black shadow in front of him.
The voices of the evil spirits are endless.
The noise gave him a headache.
So that’s what it means.
Xuanxiu reluctantly sat up and looked at Xuanhui who was silent beside him.
"What about my brother? Why did he rebel? The Xuan family is originally a semi-immortal clan. Since Chu Dianqing and Xuan Qing killed all the rebellious immortals and suppressed the evil spirits of the rebellious immortals in my body, I believe they are more concerned about protecting the interests of the immortal clan."
"What does it have to do with you?" Xuan Hui glanced at him coldly without saying anything.
The black shadow couldn't help but laugh out loud. She raised her eyes to the sky outside the cave, which was about to brighten. "It's really interesting. It's rare to hear Immortal Lord Miaomiao talk so much."
"Miao Miao Immortal Lord, you want to delay until the end of tomorrow, right?"
"This is the only way to ensure that the people destined to be with us leave."
As she spoke, she looked towards Xuanxiu, a dark light flashing in her eyes: "We have made full preparations. Immortal Lord Miaomiao may not look down on us too much."
After he finished speaking, the eternal lamp in the cave began to move.
Outside the cave, clear footsteps were heard.
Xuanxiu's expression froze.
Not long after, a thin figure walked in.
She was covered in blood, her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale.
It’s Mingyao.
The black shadow was stunned at first, then clasped his hands together and smiled——
"You are indeed the man of destiny. Miss Lin...was she killed by you?"
