Chapter 75 Chapter 75 “I said, I am its mother. …
"Demon Lord Jiangcan, Dharma Protector Bai Su, and Peach Blossom Temple Sect Master Du Wuzhu are the top demons in the demon world. Have you ever seen any demonic characteristics in them?"
Everyone was stunned.
Indeed, not only did Jiangcan wear a mask, but Bai Su and Du Wuzhu also looked no different from ordinary people in appearance.
"The Taoist Master is saying—" Someone quickly noticed something was wrong. "Yao Ning… the Immortal Master has been possessed by a demon?"
Chen Qian: "She was deeply infected by the energy of chaos. It was definitely not her intention to become a demon."
Everyone looked at each other. This explanation was reasonable, but it was only Shen Qian's opinion. Moreover, -
"She is a righteous cultivator, how could she fall into the evil path?"
"Good and evil cannot coexist. If she truly falls into evil, she will be an enemy of our righteous path!"
"The Xuanqing Sect is a prestigious sect. How can we give Jiuzhou an explanation for a disciple being possessed by a demon?"
Amidst the noise, Chu Liangxiu narrowed her eyes. Words like "degenerate", "enemy", and "shameless" fell clearly into her ears, very harsh. She rubbed the hilt of the sword with her thumb, and her cold eyes slowly swept over the people present, choosing the first target to attack.
A large hand was placed on her shoulder. Chu Liangxiu turned around and Chen Qian nodded silently at her. Only then did the murderous intent in her body relax a little.
Chen Qian listened quietly as the crowd became infuriated again, listening to them righteously criticizing the demon cultivators for being lowly, cruel, and no different from livestock.
When the fire was burning fiercely, Chen Qian suddenly turned his head and looked at an inconspicuous corner.
"You heard it all." His eyes were cold and emotionless as he said, "Meng Yaoguang."
The boiling voices disappeared in an instant, as if devoured by an ancient giant beast that fed on sound, and only the residual echoes still lingered in everyone's mind.
The forest was eerily quiet, with only the wind gently blowing through the treetops, causing the branches and leaves to rustle in waves.
Meng Yaoguang stood in a corner where no one paid attention to him and slowly opened his eyes.
Gorgeous peonies bloomed on her face like living things, gently stretching and swaying their petals, but the gorgeous colors could not overwhelm the natural nobility between her brows.
Meng Yaoguang is possessed by a demon.
Gasps were heard one after another.
Meng Yaoguang raised his head. Under the gray sky, an almost invisible transparent wind seal opened up, and light passed through, illuminating the delicate and intricate patterns.
Shang sternly bowed and said, "Your Highness has never been to the Demon Realm during this trip, so naturally, you have never witnessed the scene of the Wind Seal attracting the soul."
When Meng Yaoguang thought that the fragments of the relic had revealed Yao Ning's true form, he had already left without anyone noticing.
But what left was only her soul guided by the Wind Seal, not her physical body.
Beside Meng Yaoguang, Xian Xian hurriedly put away the barrier that concealed his figure, and in a flash, he rushed behind Meng Yaoguang and Shen Qian, still trembling with fear.
Meng Yaoguang ignored him. Her face was calm and she quickly accepted her situation. She looked at Shen Qian calmly.
The person who had spoken so arrogantly before was now shocked, angry and frightened, and stood there for a while.
"Demon cultivators are born lowly, not even worthy of carrying my shoes."
"The demonic cultivators are cannibalizing their fathers and sons, committing incest with their close relatives. They have no moral principles, are licentious and shameless. Being born as a human, cultivating the demonic realm is depravity!"
"If you are not a shameless and extremely vicious person, you will never be able to cultivate magic!"
Every word is still ringing in my ears, and they have all turned into the sharp blade of a giant axe that is chopping down on me.
Despite all kinds of complicated gazes, Meng Yaoguang remained calm, as if those dirty words were not directed at her, and it was not her who made a fool of herself in public and fell from the altar.
She did not defend herself, but glanced at Mingxin lightly.
Their eyes met and then separated. Ming Xin turned and said to Chen Qian without hesitation, "Since Daojun said Yao Ning was corroded by the chaotic energy, why didn't she remove it?"
This sentence immediately brought everyone back to their senses.
Those who were originally struggling with the distinction between good and evil immediately realized that what Mingxin said was the key.
Regardless of whether Yao Ning was really corroded by the chaotic energy and became like this, or she was the source of the chaos, what everyone feared and worried about was that the chaotic energy would spread, and the ones who would suffer would be both the righteous and evil paths, and the entire world of cultivation.
Chen Qian and Chu Liangxiu tried their best to protect her and went to great lengths to clear her name, but why did they remain silent on this matter?
Mingxin's question immediately aroused and amplified the suspicion of everyone present.
Meng Yaoguang still looked at Chen Qian calmly. The peony on the side of her forehead and cheek was so strange and inhuman, which clearly showed her downfall. The building collapsed, and the people's hearts and reputation she had worked so hard to win over were gone overnight.
After today, she will face countless messes, countless people's questioning and accusations, endless chaos and suppression.
However, there was no trace of anger, resentment, fear or worry in this woman.
It seemed that the falling sky didn't matter at this moment.
Because this game was a sure win for her from the very beginning.
She stared at the three people she loved and admired - Yao Ning, Chen Qian, and Chu Liangxiu, looking forward to what kind of moves they would make in this chaotic situation.
The first to move was Chu Liangxiu.
She subconsciously took a step forward, completely blocking Yao Ning.
Chu Liangxiu thought about how he had removed the chaotic energy and woke up in the lotus pond. His cultivation had weakened and he was too tired to do anything.
She was just slightly infected and it was already like this. If the chaotic energy in Yao Ning's body was really removed at this moment, he would become the prey of these people.
No matter what the outcome of today is, she will not let anyone hurt Yao Ning under her nose.
Chu Liangxiu rarely has such clear desires and thoughts.
But during these years of lonely cultivation, Chu Liangxiu could vaguely feel his own heart.
She regards Xuanqing Sect as her home, and the Sect Leader, Chen Qian, Yao Ning and others as her relatives.
Her parents have passed away and she misses them very much.
But she still has relatives in the world, and she wants to protect these relatives who are still alive.
But if Yao Ning's chaotic energy really spreads, if the thing that these people fear really happens, what should he do?
Chu Liangxiu thought about this question and quickly came up with the answer.
She will take Yao Ning to the glacier in the far north. The sect leader said that it was there that Chen Qian's mother first tried to draw the chaotic energy into her body.
She will seal Yao Ning so that the world of cultivation will not suffer.
But the junior sister is afraid of the cold. As compensation for bullying Yao Ning and to prevent her from freezing to death, Chu Liangxiu will sleep with her on the glacier.
When he came, the sect leader said that he believed that even if Yao Ning possessed the energy of chaos, she would never destroy the world.
But Gu Wuchen allowed Chen Qian and Chu Liangxiu to make their own choices.
This is Chu Liangxiu's choice. He is worthy of the world, worthy of the Xuanqing Sect, worthy of the teachings of the sect leader and his parents, and worthy of his own heart.
The only person I feel sorry for is my junior sister.
So Chu Liangxiu would sacrifice himself to atone for his sins.
Chu Liangxiu had made his decision and held the sword steadily.
Yao Ning's voice came from behind: "Senior Sister."
Chu Liangxiu tilted his head slightly: "Hmm?"
"Senior Sister, did Chen Qian promise you that he would marry you when he grows up?"
Chu Liangxiu's hand trembled, and he was stunned for a moment before turning around and looking at Yao Ning helplessly.
Yao Ning smiled and turned to Chen Qian: "Then it's true."
Shen Qian's brows furrowed, this plot seemed to be more complex than he had imagined.
"Aning." His voice was steady, with a determination that could dispel the fog. "The person I married is you. We became Taoists and worshipped the heavens, the earth, and our ancestors. Don't you remember?"
Yao Ning naturally remembered that what Chen Qian said was true, but he did not deny another fact.
Yao Ning asked, "Did you ever fall in love with Senior Sister that year in the moonlit wilderness?"
Chu Liangxiu was at a loss, while Chen Qian felt cold all over.
Yao Ning felt the fierce and violent bloodlust in his body coming back again. His surging blood seemed to be poisoned, and his clear consciousness was collapsing bit by bit.
Her eyes were red, and she scanned the faces of the two people standing side by side in front of her several times, and smiled mockingly and miserably.
"I was so devoted to you all those years that I did all sorts of stupid things. They must have seemed ridiculous to you."
Chu Liangxiu stood frozen in place, like a child who had done something wrong, not knowing how to defend himself.
Chen Qian wanted to step forward, but Yao Ning took a step back cautiously.
Ming Xin asked loudly again, "Why hasn't the chaotic energy in Yao Ning been removed?"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and overwhelming questions were raised everywhere, and even the allies on Chen Qian's side became hesitant.
Chen Qian tilted his head, his eyes piercing Meng Yaoguang in the corner like sharp arrows, and spoke word by word.
"Because I will remove it for her."
Meng Yaoguang remained unmoved, but Monk Mingxin continued to press him: "When?"
Chen Qian was like a beast forced into a desperate situation. He tore off his clear and runny mask and revealed his unknown ferocity.
He looked around, as if trying to memorize the faces of every enemy, and then he politely bowed slightly: "As you wish, at this moment."
This is his choice.
Chen Qian slowly turned around, Yao Ning took a step back, the sadness on his face completely faded away, leaving only the weakness after weighing the pros and cons.
"You can't touch me." She lowered her posture. "I'm pregnant."
Shen Qian was stunned.
Yao Ning touched her belly: "Your child."
Meng Yaoguang, who had been motionless, took a few steps forward and asked, "What do you say it is?"
Yao Ning vaguely sensed that he had encountered a carefully planned encirclement and suppression.
She has indeed become a monster that harms the world, and she is pregnant with little monsters. These people are righteous and have legitimate reasons. Everything they do is for world peace and for the survival of the people.
She should try to appear harmless, she should hide her weaknesses.
His conscious mind was rapidly collapsing, and the brutal desire for killing was spreading throughout his limbs and bones.
She had never harmed anyone, but somehow she became a monster.
She treated everyone with sincerity, but her friendship with Meng Yaoguang was fake.
The two people she loved most had already made a promise behind her back.
Everyone in the world is unlucky, and she has always been alone.
How can a phoenix be born from mud? The stolen destiny will never belong to you.
Yao Ning was not born to be cherished. Being spitted on and trampled upon, being ridiculed and abandoned was her original destiny.
The relic bead hung in the air, the sunlight was blazing brightly, clearly reflecting the endless chaotic energy in Yao Ning's abdomen.
She touched her belly gently, raised her head and forced a crazy smile.
"I said, I am its mother."
