Huo Shen, who had originally closed his eyes, opened them.
"Leave? Where to?"
Shen Qing looked into the distance.
"To fight."
With myself, with them.
The war started in ancient times. It doesn't make sense that the predecessors paid so much but it is useless to her.
In fact, there was a voice in Shen Qingyi's heart telling her something.
Perhaps, the prosperous era she lives in is also inextricably linked to the Vast Sea Realm.
If there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences.
Her arrival, Senior Lou Xicheng, and Teacher Shen Jingshan… They had all met before, not here, but in that place full of flowers and sunshine.
Huo Shen turned his head and looked at Shen Qingyi.
From the first time we met, I could see the clarity and brightness in the little baby's eyes, a purity that was untainted by the dust of the world.
Later, although her eyes were clear, a layer of impenetrable mist rose up, which was the proof of the girl's growth. She became a monk.
Today, her eyes are still clear, but there is something more in them.
Hot, gentle, firm...
How can a pair of clear eyes contain so many things?
"Have you ever considered that you're only at the Golden Core stage? Those blood-colored monsters and bloodthirsty tribes out there, who are more powerful than you, could kill you at any moment... Haven't you always wanted to pursue your path? If you die... you'll have nothing..."
Shen Qingyi smiled and lowered his eyes slightly.
"Well... I know all this... I know that when I die... there will be nothing left... My eyes will lose the colors of this world, and my body may rot along with it, until my soul disappears... I won't see flowers bloom and fall, clouds roll and unroll, I won't smell the fragrance of flowers and fireworks, and I won't hear the sounds of this world anymore... But if this is the kind of death I'm not afraid of compared to living a miserable life..."
Compared to those people in the past, her current situation is not as hopeless. At least she has seen the light and has hope in her heart.
Huo Shen looked at Shen Qingyi blankly.
"Shen Qingyi...you're not even afraid of death...why are you afraid of becoming my disciple?"
Hearing Huo Shen's question, Shen Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then he stretched out the corner of his mouth and gave Huo Shen a bright smile.
"That was in the past! I used to be like everyone else. I also believed that those who follow the ruthless path must cut off all emotions and love, abandon everything, cut off all desires, and pursue the ruthless path! Now... the path is in the heart and in the actions. It is not just one person, but the words of thousands of people!"
"The Way is in the heart...in the actions..."
As Shen Qing stood up, the smile on his face became even brighter.
Even though there was no sunshine at the moment when Pankong broke through the realm, Shen Qingyi's smile made Huo Shen feel warm.
"Senior, I will be leaving in the evening..."
The female cultivator has an upright figure, like a bamboo or a pine tree.
Her back looked particularly dazzling in this dim sky.
Huo Shen took a sip of wine.
"You really don't want to be my disciple?"
Under the ice sculpture, Bei Chen and Xu Yanchang, who were listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly became a little nervous.
Beichen's eyes gradually became darker. If Shen Qingyi didn't want to...
Shen Qingyi didn't expect Huo Shen to be so obsessed with this issue, so he turned around and smiled.
"If... Qingyi, I can return safe and sound this time... I would like to ask... Senior Huo, please accept me as your disciple..."
Huo Shen suddenly stopped drinking and looked at Shen Qingyi.
There was no trace of joking in Shen Qingyi's eyes, and his eyebrows were serious.
She saw and remembered how Huo Shen took care of her along the way, disregarding his own safety and suppressing his cultivation to enter the Pankong Exchange Conference.
"If Qingyi leaves and never returns... Senior Huo, please... forget me."
Forget me...
“Woo!”
My head suddenly hurt, and the pain seemed to pull at my soul, spreading from the depths of my soul to every part of my body.
Huo Shen couldn't help but cover his head and grit his teeth. Veins bulged on his forehead, and a light suddenly flashed between his eyebrows.
"Huo Shen! How dare you! Are you going to disobey Master's orders? Are you going to betray the sect?!"
"Huo Shen! As the heir of Wenxu Peak, do you really want to sever our peak's inheritance just for the lives of a few ants?!"
Inside the hall, the man's furious look, the wait-and-see expressions of the others around him, the disappointed elders, and the puzzled looks of his fellow disciples made Huo Shen, who was kneeling in the hall, feel cold all over.
Huo Shen's entire body was soaked, with blood mixed with sweat, making him look like he had just been pulled out of the water.
"Huo Shen, everyone in the world of immortal cultivation has their own destiny. The weak are not qualified to survive..."
"Master! What crime have they committed? Do they want to be born in a humble family? Do they want to have ordinary talents? Do they want to be weak?! Master! Some of them... just living... has already exhausted all their energy... I think... they are also strong..."
"Shut up! Huo Shen! Your master thinks you're crazy! A mere ant actually gave you such a ridiculous idea! All those years of seeking the Dao, all the explanations given to you by your master and the sect, have you thrown them all into the dog's stomach?! Your master thinks you've gone crazy! You're possessed by inner demons! The ruthless Dao is the orthodox Dao of Wenxu Peak, Pankong Realm, Hanhai Territory, and Fusheng Wanyu! Today, you've been blinded by worldly desires! You can't recognize the way forward, and you've forgotten the Dao in your heart! So today, let your master help you drive away the seven emotions and desires in your heart! Come on!"
"Disciple is here!"
"Use the boning whip!"
“Master!”
Huo Shen could no longer hear the surrounding noise. He watched helplessly as his once respected master took over the bone-picking whip made from the Heart Demon Bone.
"Bang!"
Huo Shen's body was thrown heavily by Yun Han onto the square of Tianxu Peak.
The midday sun was so dazzling that Huo Shen couldn't even open his eyes.
But this kind of sunlight could not shine into his world which was like falling into an endless black abyss.
The scene before him was devastated, and his former master had now become the target of his murder.
The bone-picking whip lashed at Huo Shen's back again and again, leaving one glaring mark after another. The bone-picking whip, which had been specially refined, was like removing bones and digging out flesh from his body every time it hit his body.
But compared to the physical pain, the pain in his heart and soul made him more desperate.
Again and again, the sound of whipping was endless.
"Do you know you're wrong?! Huo Shen! Do you know you're wrong?!"
“Bang!”
Seeing blood everywhere, some disciples could not help but turn their heads away.
Huo Shen, the eldest brother of Wenxu Peak who was once high and mighty and a favored child of heaven, was now lying in a mess in the square of Tianxu Sect, surrounded by all the cultivators of Tianxu Sect and the disciples around him were talking noisily.
