Chapter 90 The Sword Master of my past life was actually…
Si Yao had guessed that the man in front of her was most likely Li Ye's nemesis.
"You should be very wary of the owner of the aura within me."
Upon hearing Si Yao's unexpected words, the demon man exclaimed in surprise, "You know quite a lot."
He composed himself and asked, "Then can you tell me where the owner of this aura is now?"
Si Yao frowned, thinking to herself, if this demon man was able to find her, then he should have noticed Li Ye by her side a long time ago.
Judging from his appearance, he did not realize Li Ye's true identity and probably thought that Li Ye was just Si Yao's apprentice.
Looking at the demon man, Si Yao said, "I also want to know who the owner of this aura is. Can you tell me?"
At this point, she stroked her chin, smiling brightly, "I'm very curious whether this person is male or female. If it's a man, how handsome is he? Would it taste good to use him for 'sexual cultivation'?"
She laughed a few more times after she finished speaking.
The demon man finally lost his patience, his chest heaving. "Stop spouting such lewd words. How could he be someone you could use for your sexual sedation?"
He suddenly felt a surge of anger for some reason and approached Si Yao step by step. "Since you won't talk, I'll just kill you. If I kill you, he won't be able to come back to life, which suits me just fine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon man pushed his palm forward, and a strong sense of oppression was directed at Si Yao's face.
"Bang--"
In the blink of an eye, the demon man was knocked back several feet by an even stronger force.
"As expected..." the demon man chuckled, wiping his mouth. "Looks like you can't kill him after all."
After he finished speaking, he turned around as if to leave.
Si Yao chased after her, "Stop! Tianchen Island isn't a place you can come and go as you please!"
The demon man suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a blinding light shot out, along with some object.
Si Yao reached out and caught it, only to find that it was a translucent crystal, the same as the Destiny Stone she had seen in Wuzhou that day.
When she looked up again, the demon man had vanished.
Holding the crystal in her hand, a sharp pain made her frown. Unexpectedly, the sharp edge of the crystal cut a small gash in her palm.
The cool sensation spread throughout my body, and blood gradually seeped from the cuts on my palms. Suddenly, the bright moonlight condensed into silver threads that seeped into the crystal's patterns.
At that moment, Si Yao saw her blood droplets moving across the surface of the crystal, tracing a serpentine path.
Snake-shaped... Why snake-shaped?
Si Yao's breath hitched, and she was quickly transported to another scene.
She closed her eyes, and the memories of the past pierced her mind like ice picks.
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a beautiful woman curled up deep in the swamp, her blue-scaled snake tail soaked in a pool of blood.
This face...
Si Yao held her breath. Wasn't that herself?
But why did my feet turn into a snake's tail?
"pain……"
Si Yao felt pain all over her body and a great emptiness in her heart, as if she had lost the most important thing in her life at this moment.
But she didn't know what it was.
She lowered her eyes; the thin veil on her right shoulder was already stained red with blood, as if something had lingered there.
Something very important, even more important than her life.
Si Yao didn't have much time to think; a murderous aura was already emanating from all around her.
"Gusang, stop running! You're destined to die in Zhushadong!"
"Born a person of Zhushadong, I will die a ghost of Zhushadong!"
"Accept the divine punishment of the Holy Ancestor!"
"Gusang, prepare to die!"
Si Yao weakly raised her head and saw a group of snake-people with human heads and snake tails approaching her step by step. These snake-people all called her Gu Sang.
They were snake people like her, and Si Yao thought they might be of the same kind.
They all had ferocious expressions, looking as if they regarded Si Yao as their mortal enemy.
Si Yao didn't answer, and weakly opened her lips, "Why should I die? What wrong did I do?"
Among the snake-like figures, the leading elder stared at the bloody hole in Si Yao's right shoulder, then his brows furrowed. "Gu Sang, Gu Sang, what are you pretending to be confused about? Even if you're dead, so what? You still can't escape your guilt!"
Who died? Who is the Grand Elder referring to?
Despite her best efforts, Si Yao ultimately failed to hear the Grand Elder mention the name of the deceased.
Before she could even ask, the snake-like creatures unleashed several waves of energy at Si Yao, their killing intent transforming into sharp blades, seemingly poised to take her life in the next instant.
hiss……
As the murderous aura spread, the deathly energy quickly engulfed Si Yao like a tidal wave.
She was in pain all over her body and desperately wanted to raise her hands to cast a spell to resist, but she couldn't move an inch.
It seems that Si Yao, or rather, Gu Sang, is going to die here?
In the damp swamp, crows cawed everywhere, and the bushes around suddenly surged into towering waves. Si Yao, curled up in a pool of blood, saw a chilling sword intent slash through the sky.
In the blink of an eye, a Daoist priest in white robes appeared, stepping onto the moon.
As the white-robed Daoist's wide sleeves fluttered, the sword intent rang out with a "clang," instantly transforming into sixteen flying swords that soared into the air, followed by a rain of swords that hurtled towards the group of snake-men who wanted to kill Si Yao.
They.
"It's actually the Azure Phoenix Sword Master!"
"You bastard, how did you get the Sword Master's help?"
"Are you having an affair? How can you face the deceased...?"
"Ouch...it hurts so much..."
The snake-like creatures were repelled by the Azure Phoenix Sword Master's sword intent, letting out painful roars.
Si Yao lay in a pool of blood, clutching her head. Suddenly, her head throbbed with pain. Subconsciously, she realized that she had lost something very important in her life, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't remember what it was.
"Boom!"
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the rain started pouring down without warning.
The torrential rain soaked Si Yao, and her heart ached terribly at that moment. She cried out in pain and collapsed in the chaos.
Even though this was just something that happened in her memory, Si Yao felt as if she were there in person. She came back to her senses and looked at the Destiny Stone crystal in her palm. The pain in her heart was still not relieved.
She clutched her chest, gasping for breath.
What exactly is this memory?
Why am I so sad?
As she muttered to herself, Si Yao subconsciously wiped the corner of her eye, and a wet sensation immediately followed.
She found herself shedding tears without even realizing it.
Taking a deep breath, Si Yao recalled the scene of first seeing the Destiny Stone in Wuzhou.
On that day, Elder Ling He of Tianchen Island, who witnessed the Destiny Stone together, said: The Destiny Stone can reveal the past and also predict the future.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but wonder if the scene she saw from the Destiny Stone was her past life, or if it would happen in the future.
Si Yao immediately lowered her head and looked at her feet, which were clad in light shoes.
"In this life, I am not a snake-person, so in my previous life I was a snake-person..."
Muttering to herself, driven by a strong sense of curiosity, Si Yao channeled another wisp of spiritual energy into the Destiny Stone crystal in her palm.
The spiritual energy stirred her still-warm blood, causing Si Yao's body to tremble, and new memories flooded her mind.
In her memory, Si Yao lay in a pool of blood, and then the scene shifted to her opening her eyes again.
Si Yao was still in the form of Gu Sang. She found herself lying in a brightly lit bedroom. She lowered her eyes and examined her entire body. Someone had already changed her clothes. The soft fabric covered the silver scales on her waist. A breeze blew in from outside the window, and the hem of her skirt fluttered, revealing her beautiful snake tail.
With a gust of wind, the swordsman in white robes stepped into her bedroom.
It turns out that she was saved by the Azure Phoenix Sword Master.
Are you feeling better?
Hearing that voice, Si Yao, reliving her memories, felt it was so familiar.
When Si Yao, who was still Gu Sang, suddenly raised her head and looked at the Sword Master, she was stunned.
Yes, it was him.
Just moments before, as she lay in a pool of blood, in the pouring rain, on the verge of death, the white-robed swordsman approached her, holding an umbrella.
At this moment, this memory coincided with the scene revealed by the Destiny Stone in Wuzhou last time.
Jiang Cifeng...
Si Yao whispered those three words, but the Sword Master and Bone Sang in their memories did not hear her voice.
She looked at Gu Sang leaning against the bed, and at the Azure Phoenix Sword Master in front of Gu Sang who looked exactly like Jiang Cifeng.
Suddenly she understood. It turned out that she was a snake-person in her previous life. Her name was Gu Sang. She had violated some clan rules, which angered her clan members, who all wanted to kill her.
Then, when Gu Sang was in dire straits with no way to escape, the Azure Phoenix Sword Master descended from the sky and saved her.
This so-called Azure Phoenix Sword Master may be Jiang Cifeng's previous incarnation.
Si Yao sighed deeply. She and Jiang Cifeng were actually connected in their past lives.
The memories that followed came flooding back like waves.
In her previous life, Gu Sang was raised in the bedchamber of the Azure Phoenix Sword Master. The two spent every day together and gradually developed feelings for each other.
When Si Yao saw Gu Sang nestled in the arms of the Azure Phoenix Sword Master in her memory, with a happy smile on her face, she immediately pulled her consciousness back to reality.
She gripped the Destiny Stone crystal tightly and quickly put it into her storage ring.
She didn't want to find out any further.
Because she could guess what would happen after Gu Sang and Qing Luan Sword Master embraced each other.
"Why……"
Si Yao took a deep breath. Even though the Fate Stone had revealed her past life, she still felt a sense of unreality.
She walked back step by step, supporting her waist with her hand, and then took out a golden bell.
This bell was given to her by Li Ye when they were in Wuzhou.
The memories of her previous life had given her quite a shock, but right now she was clutching the bell tightly, her mind filled with the name "Li Ye".
She really wanted to ask, if she had some entanglement with Jiang Cifeng in her previous life, what about Li Ye?
What about her and Li Ye's previous life?
Are they like the morning star and the evening moon, destined never to meet?
She walked heavily for a long time, but still couldn't leave the desolate island.
"Elder Si Yao."
Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept by, accompanied by Jiang Cifeng's voice.
Under the moonlight, Jiang Cifeng, dressed in white, stood not far from Si Yao.
His appearance was exactly like that of the white-robed swordsman who had just appeared in my memory, walking on the moon.
Si Yao gazed at him from afar, her expression indifferent.
In the past, she had been somewhat impatient with Jiang Cifeng.
At this moment, perhaps because he had saved her in his previous life, her attitude towards Jiang Cifeng finally improved somewhat.
"Just now, I sensed a trace of the demon race's aura, so I came here. I never expected to encounter Elder Si Yao here."
Hearing Jiang Cifeng's slightly hurried tone, Si Yao still looked at him from afar, "I didn't ask any more questions, so you don't need to explain."
Jiang Cifeng was slightly taken aback. At that moment, Si Yao saw helplessness on his usually icy face.
Actually, I don't know when it started, but Jiang Cifeng has changed too.
This change seemed to have been noticed only by Si Yao.
"Did you also use the Fate Stone to discover your past life?" Si Yao asked bluntly. "Is that why you've suddenly become so much more enthusiastic towards me?"
Last time, Jiang Cifeng directly asked Si Yao to marry him. His eyes didn't show much emotion then; they seemed more like a request made for the sake of undergoing a tribulation.
This time, Si Yao could clearly sense that Jiang Cifeng was different.
Jiang Cifeng's hand, hidden in his sleeve, twitched slightly. He walked towards Si Yao step by step, finally stopping in front of her.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Si Yao, his gaze flickering.
That look in his eyes was definitely the look of someone looking at their soulmate.
Si Yao felt uncomfortable under his gaze, so she turned her head to the other side and said, "You don't need to answer, I already know."
Jiang Cifeng then realized his lapse in composure and quickly averted his gaze, his expression becoming serious. "Have you... considered my suggestion from that day?"
Si Yao's eyes flickered, then she turned back to look at him. "You mean getting married?"
Jiang Cifeng nodded. "As I said, I will carefully go through all the relevant procedures."
She held her forehead; it seemed Jiang Cifeng hadn't given up on the idea.
"Jiang Cifeng, why do you think I would agree to your request?"
At this point, Si Yao grabbed Jiang Cifeng's hand with lightning speed and rolled up his sleeve. She originally wanted to bring up the magic ring on his wrist.
However, at this very moment, Jiang Cifeng's magic ring was emitting a dazzling light.
Jiang Cifeng once said that what the Dharma Ring sensed was an indirect indication that Si Yao was his tribulation in this life.
Si Yao: "..."
Jiang Cifeng lowered his head, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "You don't believe in the Fate Stone, or you don't believe in the Dharma Ring? Aren't these two things enough? You and I have a destiny in our past and present lives..."
Jiang Cifeng still managed to utter the words "entanglement," as he dared not look Si Yao in the eye.
"Si Yao, accept your fate." His tone softened considerably. "Now that we're married, once this tribulation of love is over, I will..."
Before he could finish speaking, Si Yao had already let go of his hand, and he quickly hid the magic ring in his sleeve.
Si Yao chuckled twice. "Once you overcome your tribulation of love and ascend to the Great Dao, you will give me many benefits. You also said last time that after you attain enlightenment, I will regain my freedom."
At this point, Si Yao paused for a moment, then said, "Although I can get a lot of benefits and eventually regain my freedom, I don't want to marry you, not even if it's just a formality."
After she finished speaking, she felt a mix of emotions and couldn't help but think of another person.
"If I get married, even if it's just a fake marriage, won't the other person be upset?"
She murmured softly, not knowing whether Jiang Cifeng heard her.
He took another step closer, raising both hands to try and take Si Yao's hand, just as he had seen in his past life when he, as the Azure Phoenix Sword Master, took Gu Sang's hand.
However, his hand froze in mid-air, then withdrew after a few breaths. "Si Yao, if you don't marry me, you will die."
