Chapter 41
I returned to Zhang Shan's body, and now the possession is becoming smoother and smoother. I don't know if she showed up when I left.
There's been no news from Xiao Ruoyin yet. This mansion in the city is owned by Sifanglou, and is guarded both inside and outside by subordinates. I even saw the familiar Fengwei. She didn't follow Liang Lun to the Xuanyin Sect, but stayed at the stronghold to protect Zhang Shan.
Fengwei looked at me as if she wanted to say something, but I spoke first, pretending to say, "I seem to have slept for a long time, and I'm a little dazed."
Fengwei: "They went to the Xuanyin Sect, but you slept soundly."
I didn't mind the cold irony and nodded, "It means I trust them."
"You strike me as a bit like a human."
"Who?"
"She's all dead."
"oh."
It seems that the killer is still a little alert. I walked to the table and drew out Yaemiya's route and marked the location of Li Yi.
Fengwei came to my side and just watched without saying a word. I asked as I continued painting, "Has there been any news from the Xuanyin Sect?"
Fengwei: "No news is the best news."
Very good. This is what we agreed upon when we discussed with Xiao Ruoyin and Liang Lun before. We will take down the Xuanyin Sect in one go and control its main nest. The other branches will not be a problem and it will be easy to replace them.
"Fengwei, I need your help with something."
"you say."
"Go to the Eightfold Palace to find the head of the Lingji Pavilion, Li Yi, and invite her to come and have a chat."
"How could she come without any token?"
"Just say, secret meeting in a secret room, poisoning and body swapping, sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams."
Although she felt that what I said was incoherent, Fengwei didn't ask any questions. She called two subordinates to be my personal guards and set off immediately.
There are still ten days left until Mid-Autumn Festival. There is still time. Everything is still in time.
Maybe I was too unlucky in the early days, but finally my luck turned around, and now everything I planned is under my control.
Within three days, I received a letter via carrier pigeon. Xiao Ruoyin said he and Liang Lun had quelled the rebellion within the sect and brought the fragmented situation under control. He would bring three surrendered Dharma protectors and six branch leaders to me to support me as the new leader. They would arrive at the mansion in about two days.
I definitely don't have time to go with them to the Xuanyin Sect headquarters to hold any succession ceremony. Instead, I need to conserve my energy and go to the Eightfold Palace to snatch people. Of course, before that, I need Li Yi's help and then work together from inside and outside.
The moves don't need to be very innovative. Disintegrating from the inside and combining it with a fierce attack from the outside will always be effective.
I wrote down my requirements in a hurry and told Xiao Ruoyin to gather all the masters in the sect. This way, the forces of Sifang Tower and Xuanyin Sect were gathered together.
Before Xiao Ruoyin came back with his men, Feng Wei brought Li Yi here first.
"I got the news. Shouldn't you be on your way to the Xuanyin Sect? The new leader is Zhang Shan."
Li smiled at me, but there was not much respect in his eyes, but more of wariness and temptation.
I asked Fengwei to maintain martial law outside the door, close the doors and windows, and planned to have a detailed talk with Li Yi alone.
"The Pavilion Master of Lingji Pavilion is truly capable. Nothing in the martial arts world can be hidden from you."
"No, no, you're too polite, Master Zhang. You're obviously more capable. You know who I've slept with."
"Pavilion Master Li Yi, let's get straight to the point. I know you and Qu Yesi are having an affair, and I also know what he's up to. He wants Chu Yingyu's body, and you don't want him to fulfill this wish."
I found myself speaking this matter very calmly. I had actually reached the point where I could negotiate with others with ease, which was something I could not do when I first arrived.
The smile on the woman's face gradually froze. She dropped her usual frivolous and nonchalant demeanor and asked in a deep voice, "How much do you know?"
"How much do you think I know?"
"Does the Yajen Palace also have spies from the Xuanyin Sect?"
"Haha." I laughed mysteriously. In fact, I floated over and saw the first-hand information myself, but I certainly couldn't tell the truth.
"I really don't want Qu Yesi to become Chu Yingyu. I've kept this secret for him for so many years, and I'm really tired of it. I'm cooperating with you. Can you give me what I want?"
Afterwards, Li Yi told me the whole story.
Qu Yesi is the only one left in his family, a martial arts family cursed by the auspicious Blood Qilin. Their ancestors betrayed the Blood Qilin and killed it in order to gain the legendary immortality.
The blood of the blood unicorn did not make the Qu family prosperous and immortal, but instead planted the seeds of an ineradicable poison that would last from generation to generation until the Qu family had no descendants.
This is the curse of the Blood Qilin. The next generation of the Qu family will not live past the age of twenty.
The Qu family tried countless methods and naturally consulted famous doctors. Finally, they found a way other than blood transfusion, which was to transfer the soul and replace the body, and completely get rid of this body.
Qu Yesi was able to live to the age of fifty because he was gifted and lucky. He obtained the original copy of the Netherworld Sutra and cultivated to a certain level. As long as he broke through the highest mental method, he could complete a complete transformation.
The reason why Qu Yesi didn't seize the time to have a bunch of children to expand his family and maintain his bloodline was simply because he just wanted to survive. As long as he could survive, having offspring would not be a problem at all.
He had undergone many blood transfusions and consumed countless medicinal pills. Every time he lived a year, he would celebrate his birthday with great fanfare.
Chu Yingyu was the second suitable container he found.
The first one was also a child he adopted. At that time, he also thought about planting a poison in the other party, but he was worried that there would be hidden dangers if he took over the other body in the future, so he did not implement the control.
However, at the age of fifteen, the child fell in love with a maid in Yae Palace. How could a young man who had fallen in love still want to die and willingly become a vessel?
So the young man eloped with the maid. Qu Yesi sent Li Yi to capture her and killed her in front of her, skinning her, gouging out her eyes and pulling out her tongue.
Unexpectedly, the young man had already made up his mind. After his lover's tragic death, he took the poison he had prepared long ago, and his body turned into a pool of pus and blood.
Qu Yesi was furious as he watched the container he had carefully cultivated vanish into thin air before his eyes. It wasn't until the following year that he saw a dirty child holding a little white dog on the island.
That was Chu Yingyu.
Feelings are the biggest trouble. People who are just beginning to fall in love may do anything. Not only love, but any emotion is an uncertain factor.
This time, Qu Yesi carefully trained Chu Yingyu. He felt that this child should be easier to use than the previous little beast. He was a natural killer and naturally cold-blooded.
In order to avoid repeating the same mistake, and just in case, he planted the bloodworm poison. He cultivated Chu Yingyu as his second self, and if he succeeded in taking over his body, he would inherit all of the other person's abilities.
The boy's health, lifespan, and killer skills are all his, and he will have plenty of time.
From this perspective, Qu Yesi had always been winning. Xiaobai was dead, and I was dead too. There was no one left to interfere with Chu Yingyu. The only thing he hadn't anticipated was that I was a time traveler. Perhaps due to metaphysical reasons, my soul hadn't disappeared, so he was planning a counterattack against him.
Now Qu Yesi is in the light and I am in the dark.
I still want to believe in Chu Yingyu again. We will definitely win this time.
He will not be defeated by the poison.
After Li Yi confessed everything, she sighed deeply, as if the mountain that had been pressing on her shoulders had finally been lifted.
She only talked about Qu Yesi's affairs, but did not explain her feelings for Qu Yesi. However, it was not difficult for me to see that she was deeply in love with him.
"Tell me about yourself and Qu Yesi? You love him, yet you want to work with me to murder him?"
"There are many kinds of love. You are certain that I will betray you, so why bother asking?"
"Oh, curious."
“…”
I choked on his words, and Li Yi made it short this time. She was also picked up by Qu Yesi. At that time, Qu Yesi was a really young and handsome boy. He adopted her and taught her, although she became crooked as time went by.
When he was able to stand on his own, Li Yi began to help Qu Yesi with blood transfusion. The main purpose of Lingji Pavilion was not to collect martial arts stories, but to find suitable blood packs for Qu Yesi.
After years of getting along with each other, Li Yi fell in love with this selfish and evil man. She knew all the filth and meanness of the other party, but she loved him deeply.
But now, she found that she couldn't accept it.
If Qu Yesi's soul was transferred and his body was changed, would he still be the same person? Would he become Chu Yingyu? Would he disappear completely? No one from ancient times to the present had successfully used the supreme mental method of the Netherworld Sutra to change their body. Would he be an exception?
Will she disappear from Qu Yesi's heart?
If Chu Yingyu's consciousness was strong enough to devour Qu Yesi, the person he cared about would not be himself. He might even like the dead Qin Xiaoe.
The reason why Li Yi was particularly enthusiastic towards Chu Yingyu was that he wanted to leave a good impression on him as much as possible, but it seemed that it was not as useful as me who came later.
So she felt very panicked, and she became increasingly unsure whether Qu Yesi would completely change after the soul transfer.
All the uncertainties magnified Li Yi's hesitation.
I bluntly reminded him, "Pavilion Master Li Yi, even if Qu Yesi didn't change his body, he didn't like you. He was using and controlling you, and his affection for you was all an illusion."
Li Yi: "I know he has no heart, but I just love him. As long as he belongs to me, that's all."
Me: "If he changes his body and lives on, he can always be with you, why do you want to stop him?"
"No, if he changes his body, he's not him anymore! I want his original appearance! If your man completely changes his appearance, can you still accept it? He might even become another person! I would rather he die in my arms until he turns into bones. So what if he can't live that long? As long as he belongs to me!"
Li Yi suddenly became excited and spoke to me with a ferocious expression, which made her beautiful face distorted and a crazy emotion revealed in her eyes.
“…”
Everyone in the Yajō Palace is talented, and the closer you are to Qu Yesi, the more talented they are. But thanks to Li Yi's yandere nature, I was able to exploit this opportunity.
I have too much faith in what a yandere can do.
"I understand. I will take Chu Yingyu back and leave Qu Yesi to you. What are your thoughts, Pavilion Master Li Yi?"
"You won't be wrong to ask me for help. Qu Ye Si's soul transfer and body replacement requires me and Ling Ji Pavilion. I selected ten people to form the formation for him, and I assisted him in most of the blood replacements. This time, on the night of the full moon, I will withdraw the guards of the secret passage and let the subordinates of Ling Ji Pavilion send out some assassins."
"Also, there are two secret passages in the Eightfold Palace. If you choose the tunnel through the Lingji Pavilion, you can still reach the stone chamber and it won't be discovered by the other assassins. I will give Xiao Chu the antidote for the Drunken Soul Chant in advance, but you must know that I can't cure the poison that's already in his system."
He was so eager to give me advice that I was a little hesitant to agree immediately. Seeing my hesitation, Li Yi smiled easily.
"I just want a man, just like you do. Don't think I'm two-faced. I don't care about anything. I just want Qu Yesi to be mine."
"...I don't want Chu Yingyu to become my possession."
"Almost? Master Zhang, for Xiao Chu, you were able to gather two gangs to snatch him for you. Didn't you also consider the lives of others? In order to get the best killer, some sacrifices are normal."
I was stunned by Li Yi's words, because I had never considered other people's lives. All I could think about was how to free Chu Yingyu, and I had never considered the price of this goal.
Yes, I have been assimilated into this world where the strong prey on the weak. This kind of behavior makes me feel terrified.
"Thinking about it this way, Master Zhang is indeed a rising star of the Xuanyin Sect. I wish you success in unifying the martial arts world."
“…”
After Li Yi left, she couldn't wait to pull Qu Yesi off the altar and make this heartless man her lover. Once the feelings that had been pent up for many years were distorted and exploded, it would be a disaster for the person who was loved.
Two days later, Xiao Ruoyin and Liang Lun returned to the mansion with their respective people. Xiao Ruoyin also brought back his family heirloom, the Dragon Scale Sword.
There was a huge crowd of people kneeling in front of me. They were all the capable leaders of the Xuanyin Sect, including three protectors, six branch leaders, and a hundred elite believers.
I accepted their support without changing my expression. I told them about how the former leader Ouyang Qingjun murdered Zhang Shan's father, and said that it was my right to take back this position.
"You are all pillars of the sect. I, Zhang Shan, do not covet wealth or fame. I simply wish for the Xuanyin Sect to flourish and prosper. This century-old foundation should not be destroyed in this generation. The position of Sect Leader should have been inherited by my father, but unfortunately, he was murdered by Ouyang Qingjun. Now, I can finally comfort my father's spirit in heaven. From now on, I will stand with you all and make the Xuanyin Sect a foremost sect that rivals the Wulin Alliance."
I had practiced such passionate words several times. The kneeling believers excitedly shouted loudly that the leader was wise.
Standing at the top does give you a sense of superiority and power, and it's easy to get lost.
After all the necessary formalities were completed, I immediately summoned Xiao Ruoyin, several guardians, and Liang Lun and other confidants to the conference room.
I told them about my collaboration with Li Yi.
Liang Lun's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Why, you've already helped Master Zhang regain the position of Master, so why are you still sending Sifanglou?"
I feigned surprise and said, "Don't you know? Go and cause trouble for Yae-miya."
"When did you tell me about this?" Liang Lun's eyebrows were furrowed, but he still restrained his dissatisfaction with me.
"Oh, I might have forgotten that. Now that your people are all here, let's work together to eradicate the cancer of the martial arts world, the Eightfold Palace. Isn't that a good thing? You will gain a good reputation. Think about it, isn't it good for you? You don't want to be beheaded by a top assassin one day, do you?"
Liang Lun sighed, "Master Zhang, this is different from what we originally said. You only said you wanted the position of Master."
"Don't worry, we'll prepare the things Young Master wants. Now that things have come to this, everyone in the martial arts world knows that your Sifanglou has interfered in the internal affairs of the Xuanyin Sect. It will be difficult for you to deny your involvement."
“…”
"We're already allies, so we'll help you till the end. It's not good to give up halfway."
This urgency of having to shoot an arrow on a string made Liang Lun laugh bitterly. He praised with a half-smile, "Master Zhang is truly a master strategist. It's just that you think too little of me. I will certainly help you. The Eightfold Palace is indeed a great scourge. I just hope Master Zhang will stop deceiving me."
I clasped my fists and said apologetically, "I wouldn't dare, Young Master, you are so understanding and righteous, and you are ridding the world of evil. I admire you."
Liang Lun waved his hands, not wanting to accept my compliment, and simply said, "Lingji Pavilion is affiliated with Bazhong Palace. How did you convince the Pavilion Master?"
I smiled and said, "It's good that we can agree on the price. It's about the same as the young master's. But he doesn't want the Phoenix Feather Robe, he wants the person."
When the guardians heard they were going to hand over the Phoenix Feather Robe, they expressed dissatisfaction. I glanced at them gently and said there were still some good treasures in the treasury, and considering everyone's decades of hard work and contributions, they could choose.
These subordinates were stunned for a moment, and Xiao Ruoyin added, "The leader has given you this, and you haven't even thanked him yet."
So they knelt in another row.
Thinking of Li Yi's words about me not caring about others' lives in order to achieve my goals, I looked at Xiao Ruoyin and asked, "How many casualties have been reported in the pacification of the sect? I can arrange for compensation."
"There were 76 serious injuries and 135 minor injuries. There were no fatalities, and the injured have been properly accommodated. After the situation was brought under control, there were no more conflicts."
This is much better than I expected, and I can't help but feel relieved, but the most important thing comes next.
There are two secret passages in the Eight Palaces. One leads to the Eight Palaces from Li Yi's Lingji Pavilion, and the other is the stone chamber under Qu Yesi Palace that I found that day. These roads are all connected.
To be on the safe side, it would be best to break in from Li Yi's Lingji Pavilion.
The people from Sifang Building broke in from the main gate to attract all the attention, while the people from Xuanyin Sect broke through from Li Yi's Lingji Pavilion, cooperating from inside and outside.
After the deployment was completed, I announced the adjournment of the meeting. Xiao Ruoyin just stared at me with suspicion in his eyes, but no malice.
I looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"After you left Zhang Shan's body, she didn't wake up."
"Hey? Are you sure? Does she only wake up if I'm gone for a little longer?"
Xiao Ruoyin patted my shoulder and said meaningfully, "It's better that you didn't lie to me like you did to Liang Lun. If Zhang Shan doesn't come back, don't even think about getting along with Chu Yingyu."
"Even without me, Zhang Shan wouldn't survive for more than a few days, but I'm willing to take on this responsibility. Thank you for your hard work these days, Xiao Ruoyin."
"Huh, you're really different from that stupid person you used to be."
“…”
I haven't changed, at most I've become more thoughtful, but it's not appropriate to make funny comments right now!
I have now come to a conclusion that if I want to possess someone, in addition to the body being in a near-death state, I also need the consent of the original consciousness, otherwise I can't squeeze in.
Now it was very easy for me to enter Zhang Shan's body. She seemed to let me go completely. I had some bad guesses in my mind, but I didn't dare to say it.
As long as everything is settled, everything will return to normal.
With great anticipation, I waited until the full moon night.
The moon is very beautiful tonight, it is really round, just like the night when my husband was killed after getting married. Looking at this bright moon, I inexplicably feel a little pain in my neck.
Xiao Ruoyin saw me touching my neck and asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Me: "It's okay, it's just that the memory of the dead suddenly attacked me."
Xiao Ruoyin: "..."
Liang Lun led the people from Sifanglou to the main gate, looking like they were challenging someone.
I led the Xuanyin Sect members to break into Lingji Pavilion. Li Yi did what he did and sent out most of the assassins on that day. It would be terrifying if the intelligence chief rebelled.
Following Li Yi's instructions, I opened the box at the entrance to the secret passage. Inside was a letter with a diagram. The letter instructed us to change into the clothes and masks of Lingji Pavilion staff, then proceed to the stone chamber and position ourselves according to the formation on the diagram.
The stone chamber is where the soul is transferred and the body is replaced.
Xiao Ruoyin and several guardians looked at each other, waiting for my decision. It's already at this critical juncture, I can only trust Li Yi.
Xiao Ruoyin held the clothes and said in a low voice, "Are you sure you can trust Li Yi?"
His words made me feel uneasy, and I imagined Li Yi betraying everyone. But it was impossible. The strong emotion in her eyes could not be deceived. She had already gone this far, and I needed to give her my trust as well!
Xiao Ruoyin: "Qin Xiao'e, you are quite trusting."
I put on the mask and said to myself, "After all, I'm just an idiot. Don't worry, after this is done, everyone will be free!"
"Qin Xiao'e, have you ever thought that even if you save Chu Yingyu, his poison cannot be cured, and he might even want to kill you."
"Can you think of something positive? I believe him. We will all have a bright future!"
"I hope you're lucky and didn't make the mistake this time."
There were only ten sets of clothing prepared, and here were me, Xiao Ruoyin, the three guardians of the sect, and six branch leaders. I thought about it and ordered one of the oldest and most reliable branch leaders to lead the remaining one hundred believers to ambush the surrounding area.
Xiao Ruoyin couldn't bring the Dragon Scale Sword into the secret passage, as it would be so conspicuous that it would surely be discovered. He handed the sword to the older branch leader who stayed behind, telling him to come and retrieve it if a fight broke out.
After everything was arranged, we entered the secret passage.
I didn't see Li Yi from beginning to end. Through the eyeholes of the mask, I saw the night pearls in the passage emitting a faint light. There were no guards on this road.
We walked cautiously to the stone chamber.
The layout here has changed, all the unnecessary utensils have been moved away, and the hall looks very spacious.
Chu Yingyu knelt in the center, his hair disheveled, his head lowered, making it impossible to discern his features. He was wearing a clean white undergarment, looking much thinner, and the garment seemed very loose.
He didn't move at all and seemed not to care at all about our arrival.
Shifting my gaze from him down, I froze in shock.
A huge and complex formation was drawn on the ground where he was kneeling. The outer outline was round, and there were various irregular shapes inside. There were also incomprehensible scriptures written in blood.
It looks weird no matter how you look at it.
Xiao Ruoyin knows more about formations than I do. He whispered a few words with an older guardian and immediately started to take position according to Li Yi's instructions.
As I stood behind Chu Yingyu, I frowned and observed him, feeling something was wrong. Even if he was tortured and haggard, he shouldn't be so thin, right?
I've held him so many times, and with his frame, there's no way he can't support such thin clothes that look like prison uniforms.
There's something strange.
"Where is your Pavilion Master?"
I was still in doubt when Qu Yesi's voice echoed behind me. He was also wearing a thin undergarment. The man glanced at Chu Yingyu, who was kneeling in the center of the formation with his head bowed. A tender look flashed in his eyes, and it seemed he was already imagining the future with a new body.
I am sure that Qu Yesi only loves himself.
Xiao Ruoyin, who was wearing a mask, pinched his throat and replied calmly.
"The Pavilion Master asked his subordinates to come over first."
Qu Ye Si pondered and said, "When I came here, people from Sifang Building were shouting in front of the door. Did your Pavilion Master go to deal with it?"
"I don't know."
"Don't you know, or won't you tell?"
"I dare not!"
As Xiao Ruoyin imitated him so vividly, as soon as he knelt down, we all knelt down too.
Qu Yesi added, "The Young Master of Sifang Tower has brought his men here at this time. There must be something fishy going on, especially on the night of my blood sacrifice."
He fell into deep thought. If he had been careful enough, Qu Yesi would not have waited for Li Yi to appear before practicing the Netherworld Sutra, but would have completed it now at a faster pace.
The problem is, we don’t know where Li Yi went.
After realizing that we really didn't know where Li Yi had gone, Qu Yesi stopped making things difficult for us and focused his attention.
"Never mind. The blood sacrifice doesn't need her. I've been too indulgent with your Pavilion Master lately. Stand in the formation, activate your true energy, and inject the energy from your palms into the blood seal. Now activate the formation."
Zhang Shan's body had recovered a lot, but her internal energy had been dispersed by the Flame Frost Palm, so how could she condense her true energy?
Once I started to use my internal energy, I would be exposed. However, I still managed to keep a straight face and act like I was quite good at taking advantage of the situation.
Qu Yesi walked up to Chu Yingyu. He slowly rolled up his sleeves, flipped his hands, and held them flat, gathering his energy at the top of his head. I saw his face begin to change, turning red, as if he had eaten a pound of chili peppers.
The gas from the evaporated sweat emanated from his body, and just as he was practicing his skills, the kneeling Chu Yingyu made a move.
"Get started!"
This Chu Yingyu sounded like Li Yi. I took another look and realized that this was not Chu Yingyu at all, but Li Yi in disguise!
No wonder I always feel that they don’t look like each other.
Everyone was shocked by Li Yi's unexpected move, but what about Chu Yingyu? She must have placed him in a safe place, right?
Li Yi's sneak attack was successful. At a command, Xiao Ruoyin, the protectors, and the helmsmen reacted extremely quickly, and I, who had no ability to use force, quickly retreated to make way for the venue.
Several figures rose from the ground, and powerful true energy burst out in the stone chamber. Xiao Ruoyin landed in front of me to block the violent internal energy rushing towards me.
The mask on his face was broken and fell off, and Qu Yesi, who was unable to split himself, was ambushed by Li Yi and hit by a poisonous sting. He staggered to the ground, pulled out a hidden weapon to force out the poison, and blocked the attacks of several branch leaders.
After dozens of moves of confrontation, Qu Yesi, who still had the upper hand, used his Qi to injure the three closest branch leaders!
Li Yi is light and agile. Although she cannot leave no trace like other killers, she can still block Qu Yesi's movements with hidden weapons, because as his partner, she is really familiar with him.
"you!"
Qu Yesi glared, roared, and slapped Li Yi in the face. This was a ruthless move that was meant to kill her!
The poison took effect very quickly, and Qu Yesi's lower body was unstable due to the remaining poison. The palm strike only hit Li Yi's shoulder. The woman flew back immediately after being hit. The three guardians rushed to take over, not wanting to give Qu Yesi a chance to breathe.
To be honest, as the fight broke out in front of me, I was thinking that if I could use the inner strength of the lone brave old man, I could beat one or two Qu Yesi like grandsons, so why would I need to recruit so many helpers?
It's so ironic, we've gone around in circles.
Thinking of this, I moved again and hid a little further back, probably about to step out of the door of the stone chamber.
Maybe everything had been going so smoothly all along, and God had played a trick on me. I was hiding in a corner, but Qu Yesi was kicked against the wall and landed next to me.
I:"……"
Everyone: “…”
Qu Ye Si, who hadn't yet come to terms with Li Yi's betrayal, suddenly lost his composure and, mad with rage, wanted to kill him. But when he caught sight of me, he looked like a punching bag, his five fingers stretched out, ready to crush my skull.
In the moment of life and death, all the movements captured by my eyes slowed down, but my brain was still able to think of many things. When Chu Yingyu cut my neck, I couldn't react at all, but I felt it during the process of death.
A sudden gust of wind swept me into his arms with a sudden force. I rolled dizzily, and the back of my head was supported by his palm.
I hit the wall with a bang, and I trembled in his embrace, and the violent rolling finally stopped. I looked at Chu Yingyu in horror, who was close to me. His face was still not good, but his eyes were bright, reflecting Zhang Shan's face.
Seeing that I was rescued by Chu Yingyu, Xiao Ruoyin, who was unable to make it in time, breathed a sigh of relief.
In just this brief moment, Qu Yesi immediately turned around and ran, running out of the stone chamber.
"Chase!" Li Yi said anxiously.
If Qu Yesi is not caught, I will not be able to sleep or eat. I quickly said, "Chase, chase, chase!"
Chu Yingyu picked me up and carried me horizontally and ran out of the stone chamber. At this moment, I felt the strange looks from the guardians of the sect.
Xiao Ruoyin's face turned pale, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he took the lead and chased after him.
It seems that everyone in the church tacitly agrees that Zhang Shan and Xiao Ruoyin are a couple. It's human nature to watch the show even in such a critical moment.
Chu Yingyu held me quite steadily, I wonder if he still couldn't lift the sword.
After jumping out of the secret passage entrance, the young man gently placed me on the ground and said, "Wait for me."
I have another question. It is obvious that Li Yi rescued him in advance and exchanged identities, hiding it from us.
Then it is not unfair for Qu Yesi, who had been kept in the dark, to be attacked.
My body is not good for martial arts, so I won't make things worse. I nodded and said, "I'll wait for you."
The night in Bazhong Palace became lively, and the sound of weapons clashing and fighting broke the silence of the night. The remaining killers had to deal with the people from Sifang Building and the Xuanyin Sect. They were already attacked from both sides, but they were still well-trained to protect Qu Yesi.
I didn’t see Gong Qianqian and Chongying there. I thought such powerful masters must have been driven out by Li Yizhi.
Fortunately, Yun Wuyou defected.
Qu Yesi, who was trapped in the courtyard, laughed out loud towards the sky. He became calm instead, no longer angry or panicked. He looked at Li Yi with indifferent eyes.
"You disappoint me. You also played a role in the escape of the little beast and the maid."
Li Yi was stung by this simple sentence. She held the wound on her shoulder and trembled as she spoke, "Yes, I disappoint you, and you make me sad. If you want a blood transfusion, I will keep looking for a blood source for you, but why do you want to become another person? How can you be sure that using the Netherworld Sutra can achieve your goal? Can you definitely transfer your soul and change your body instead of being devoured by the other party?!"
Finding this remark ridiculous, Qu Yesi no longer looked at her, but looked at Chu Yingyu. He said bluntly: "Your hands are shaking, Xiao Chu."
Chu Yingyu clenched his fists: "That's enough to deal with you."
"How naive, Xiao Chu! Do you think you can escape the control woven into your bones and blood? You can't. You're used to it. Killing is the best solution. You were born an emotionless monster. You're not suited to emotions. Look at you. Ever since you had a woman, you've become so strange. You're no longer yourself. You can't complete the mission. Without my protection, you'll die."
“…”
"I am the only one who knows how good you are. Those who slow down your sword are people with ulterior motives."
"Don't you dare admit it? Think about it, isn't your body aching again?"
Following Qu Yesi's bewitching guidance, Chu Yingyu's figure swayed, and his pale face wrinkled. I'm too familiar with him like this, his body is in pain.
"Yes, anything that can draw out your emotions will only make you miserable. Destroying it is the fastest way. Without any weaknesses, you will be invincible."
"Does your body ache? Does it hurt all over? Does it hurt all over your blood, bones, and tendons? It's like it's scraping your bones and piercing your heart, so painful that you can't speak?"
"Kill all these people and the pain will go away. Kill those who deserve to be killed the most, and the disease will be cured."
The words of earnest instruction seemed to point the way forward for Chu Yingyu, who was in extreme pain. Qu Yesi was obviously using the bloodworm insect to make him suffer. As long as Chu Yingyu lost control and fell into a riot, he could take the opportunity to escape.
Suddenly, Chu Yingyu's eyes went blank, he gave up thinking, and pounced towards Li Yi.
What a double-scoring trick! He even said he'd die together with the villain, but he's unreliable so quickly! What a stinky man!
"Chu Yingyu! Save Li Yi!"
I was so frightened that my scalp went numb and I screamed. Everyone in the church took action, but no one was faster than Chu Yingyu.
His killer instinct for survival and the ideas instilled in him since childhood will make him make the easiest choice.
Just kill it, that's all.
The cold light brought with it a murderous sword energy, and it seemed as if a dragon's roar was whistling in his ears. Xiao Ruoyin took back the Dragon Scale Sword and slashed at Chu Yingyu in mid-air.
The crazy young man had to turn in mid-air to avoid the sharp sword energy. His body rolled in a strange posture and rushed towards Xiao Ruoyin like a tiger.
After a few moves, Xiao Ruoyin was hit hard by fists and palms, his ribs were broken, and he fell to the ground. The Dragon Scale Sword was actually snatched away by the opponent, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.
The final boss is actually Chu Yingyu!
I thought Chu Yingyu, holding the sword, was going to kill Li Yi, but I didn't expect him to set his sights on me.
Finished.
My heart felt cold and I felt as if I was falling into an ice cellar. The memory of my neck being cut that night came flooding back and I found it a little difficult to breathe.
“Run!”
The injured Xiao Ruoyin struggled and screamed at me. The protectors and the helmsman all stood in front of me and surrounded me as I fled.
Behind me, the believers who were protecting me kept shouting in pain. They were all wounded by the sword while trying to protect me.
Chu Yingyu fell into chaos of thought again. He was in so much pain that he could only think of killing to stop everything. And the person who was most important to him, the more he wanted to kill him.
Even when Qu Yesi asked him to kill Li Yi, he did not obey and instead targeted me.
The poison has already been planted in his heart. If he cannot overcome it himself, he will continue to lose important things and be trapped in pain.
I seem to be losing.
"Chu Yingyu! You promised me to protect me! You've already broken your promise once!"
I stopped running and pushed aside the guardian in front of me, roaring at the oncoming sword at the top of my lungs.
I was forced to fall to the ground with a murderous aura. With a sword hum, my face was cut and blood flowed.
With my cheek against the sword blade, I saw Chu Yingyu sitting astride me. His hands were still shaking, and the tip of the sword deviated from my neck and pierced the ground beside my ear.
My heart is pounding.
Drops of water fell on my lips, and I tasted a hint of bitterness on the tip of my tongue. I looked at Chu Yingyu on my body in horror, tears streaming down his face.
"It hurts so much, Xiao'e."
He said this as if begging for my forgiveness and repenting for hurting me again.
Maybe I'm going to die again.
"I was wrong……"
After saying this painfully again, Chu Yingyu raised the Dragon Scale Sword, and I closed my eyes in despair, waiting for my second death.
I really feel so sorry for Zhang Shan and Xiao Ruoyin. My mind is in a mess and many scenes flash through my mind like a kaleidoscope.
Suddenly, a touch of warm liquid splashed on my face and my body shuddered.
Without feeling the touch of the sharp blade piercing me, I slowly opened my eyes and saw Chu Yingyu reverse the Dragon Scale Sword and pierce his chest.
My mind is blank.
I thought the plan would go smoothly in the end, but Chu Yingyu committed suicide to fight the poison, and Qu Yesi, who should have been caught, successfully escaped under the protection of the killers.
The boy fell into my arms, covered in blood.
How come this hurts more than cutting my neck?
The author has something to say:
Minor injury, don't be afraid
