Yunluan's soul slowly dissipated in the air, and dots of golden light floated around, as if countless fireflies were lingering around the entire Kun-Lai Summit, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Countless Kun-Lai disciples knelt on the ground, tears dripping down their cheeks, cries of grief rose one after another, and no one could accept this pain.
One of the disciples cried and shouted angrily at Ming Duo: "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how could Master abandon us all and leave? Even his soul was shattered by his own hands, and reincarnation has become a luxury! The defeat of the Ming Mansion is not entirely Master's fault, how could you be so cruel!"
Mingduo's eyes became empty, as if the last straw of life was gone. He stared blankly at the place where Yunluan disappeared, with no expression on his face.
The disciples poured all their grief over the loss of their master onto the culprit, Mingduo, and stood up one after another, wanting to rush forward and kill him. Luming used his spiritual energy to push everyone back several meters, and then said in a cold voice: "Have you forgotten what Master said before his death? No one is allowed to hurt Mingduo in the slightest. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!"
The disciple still said unconvincedly: "But..."
"No buts." Fu Chen immediately interrupted the man, his eyes as cold as ice, without a trace of warmth. He said coldly, "Who dares not obey the master's orders? If anyone dares to mention this again in the future, they will be punished for disobeying the master's orders!"
Everyone's expressions froze when they heard this, and they didn't dare to say anything more. They could only angrily withdraw their gazes and stood still with sad expressions, obviously still immersed in the pain of losing their master.
At this moment, Ming Duo, who had been standing there for a long time without any reaction, suddenly laughed out loud. His voice contained so many emotions that everyone was frightened and looked at each other in confusion.
Ming Duo suddenly stopped laughing, and a strange black aura suddenly emanated from his body. The black aura became thicker and thicker, and finally enveloped him in a black mist, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.
Ming Duo smiled coldly and stretched out his hand. The black air slowly flowed from his palm to the sky. Soon it filled the entire sky. It was dark and looked very strange. He chuckled and said, "Do you think that your death can resolve my hatred of hundreds of years? You are totally wrong."
Mingduo's voice became colder and colder, his face was pale, and two tears of blood flowed from the corners of his eyes, which looked shocking against his pale cheeks. The golden light transformed by Yunluan's soul was swallowed up bit by bit by the terrifying black fog, and the whole Kunlai was instantly dragged into the boundless blackness. The birds and beasts seemed to be frightened by the black air, and returned to their nests like frightened birds, not daring to come out again.
"Didn't you predict that the Ming family would destroy the entire cultivation world?" Ming Duo's voice was like a ghost from hell in the dark night, floating in the air, low but seemingly vague. "If you don't make this prophecy come true, wouldn't you be letting down the hundreds of souls of the Ming family who died tragically under the blade?"
The golden light was completely absorbed by the black mist. Ming Duo suddenly retracted the black energy and said with a faint smile: "I will let you see with your own eyes that the entire cultivation world will perish in this world because of my power alone."
After saying that, a burst of intense spiritual energy suddenly attacked everyone from Mingduo. Caught off guard, everyone could not help but step back a few steps. When they looked forward again, Mingduo had disappeared in front of everyone, as if there was no one there from the beginning to the end.
Lu Ming shouted at Ming Duo: "Ming Duo! Don't be stubborn anymore! How far will it take for you to be satisfied?"
The only response to the deer's cry was a faint breeze that blew towards him and soon became quiet.
Upon seeing this, Fu Chen infused his spiritual energy into his body, trying to detect the other party's aura, but his expression suddenly changed in the next second and he said, "Not good, Mingduo has sucked away all the thousands of souls that the master had scattered."
Lu Ming was startled and asked hurriedly, "What does this mean?"
Fu Chen said solemnly, "When the master died, his soul was divided into thousands of strands, which were scattered in various places in Kun-Lai. Not only can the spiritual energy of Kun-Lai Mountain be more abundant, but it can also form a huge protective barrier to block demons and monsters. I think the master was worried that Kun-Lai would be in danger after he left, so he chose this method. But just now, Mingduo destroyed his hundred years of practice and used the ghost control technique to take away all these thousands of souls."
Lu Ming said, "So, all of Master's cultivation has been transferred into Mingduo's body?"
Fu Chen frowned and said, "This is also what I can't understand. Mingduo is a ghost cultivator, and the master is an orthodox Taoist cultivator. Not only can their cultivation not be transformed, but it will collide and cancel each other out in the body, and it is also possible that their souls will be scattered. The probability of being able to merge is probably only one in ten thousand. I don't know why he would do this."
Hearing this, Lu Ming's eyes turned, and then he shook his head and said, "No wonder he said that before he escaped. Obsession is really a terrible thing. I'm afraid Mingduo may really have the power to destroy the world in the future."
Fu Chen said solemnly: "If this is true, I am afraid that the entire cultivation world will be turned upside down. That prophecy... may not be false."
Lu Ming said softly, "Everything has its own destiny. If it weren't for Master's divination that day, the major families that besieged the Ming family would not have killed them all. Ming Duo might have lived an ordinary life as the young master of the Ming family and died of old age. But because of that divination, the fate of the Ming family changed, and Ming Duo also lived in the world with hatred, and might even overthrow the entire cultivation world. What is the cause and what is the effect? What caused such a result... The world is unpredictable, and it is really hard to figure it out no matter what."
Fu Chen was slightly stunned, then sighed: "You are right. Some things are really destined to be doomed from the beginning. After going around in circles, we finally return to the starting point."
Everyone was extremely depressed when they heard this. Too many things happened tonight, and they were all at a loss. Fu Chen told everyone to go back to their rooms to rest and make arrangements for the next day. Then everyone gradually dispersed.
※※※
The news of Yunluan's death spread quickly throughout the cultivation world. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the entire Kun-Lai sect refused all sects and cultivators to come to mourn. On the one hand, they were worried that the demon world would take the opportunity to invade Kun-Lai. On the other hand, Mingduo's whereabouts were unknown. If one day Mingduo's ghost body merged with Yunluan, the cultivation world would be in chaos, which was a result that no one wanted to see. Therefore, Fu Chen had to send several disciples to various places in the cultivation world to find Mingduo's whereabouts.
Lu Ming has been immersed in the sorrow of losing Yun Luan. Although Yun Luan had not known him for a long time, he was both a teacher and a friend. He also took good care of him in Kun-Lai Summit. Although Ming Duo's affairs were inextricably linked to him, the fault was not his, but that of the nobles who were blinded by power and interests. Ming Duo and Yun Luan were both victims of this conspiracy.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" A steady voice sounded beside him.
Lu Ming came back to his senses and looked at Jing Mo beside him with a gloomy expression: "I don't know where Ming Duo is now, and whether he is alive or dead..."
There was no emotion in Jing Mo's deep eyes. He just walked over and put the hand on Lu Ming's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry too much. Ming Duo is not too obsessed. It's impossible for him to die like this."
Lu Ming was stunned and wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth. All his emotions turned into a sigh, which seemed even more distant in the quiet night sky.
But Lu Ming did not notice that the person standing behind him, the younger brother whom he regarded as his closest relative, had a complex look in his eyes that was a mixture of madness and infatuation, and those eyes were as dark and deep as black holes, with a darkness that seemed to be able to suck in a person's soul. They were so similar to Mingduo that day.
At this moment, a faint sound came from behind the two of them.
Jing Mo immediately withdrew his gaze and looked calmly towards the source of the sound. A hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but it quickly disappeared.
Lu Ming saw that the person who came was actually Shen Shuyan. He didn't look very good, and his two black eyes revealed deep fatigue, obviously he didn't get enough rest.
Lu Ming walked up and asked, "How is Zi Yu?"
Shen Shuyan rubbed his solar plexus, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Although his life was saved, he has not woken up. Now he can only use spiritual energy to prolong his life."
Lu Ming's heart sank, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat his shoulder and said, "There will always be a way, don't worry."
Shen Shuyan nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and looked much better. He suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip, turned his head and said to Jing Mo: "I almost forgot the business, the headmaster asked you to go to Biling Cave."
Jing Mo nodded, turned to Lu Ming and said softly: "Brother, I will go to Biling Cave first, and come to find you later."
Lu Ming nodded and smiled slightly, "Go quickly, don't let the master wait for you."
Jing Mo smiled at him, then used his spiritual energy to fly away.
Chen Shuyan looked at Jing Mo's back, and a trace of uneasiness flashed across her beautiful phoenix eyes. The look Jing Mo gave Lu Ming just now was not like the look a younger brother should have when looking at his older brother. There was a desire that could not be obtained, and even some unspeakable pain and madness. It seems that Jing Mo's feelings for Lu Ming are not as simple as they seem on the surface.
Chen Shuyan looked at Lu Ming and hesitated to speak. After a long time, he whispered: "Qingci, Jingmo treats you..."
Lu Ming was stunned and looked at Shen Shuyan with some confusion, not knowing what he meant.
Chen Shuyan looked at Lu Ming's expression and sighed helplessly. Some things were inconvenient for him as an outsider to point out, and he couldn't control what would happen in the future. He immediately gave up the idea of revealing it, and then shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just think Jing Mo seems to care too much about you."
Lu Ming was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't digest the meaning of Shen Shu's words for a long time. Somehow, the scene in the cave that day suddenly appeared in front of him, the rapid breathing, and the crazy entanglement between lips and tongues, which made the temperature on his cheeks rise again and again, and his heart beat violently.
