Return to the Ruins (IV)

In the darkness of delusion, Sandy walked alone.

She was surrounded by thick black air, which swirled around her and wanted to swallow her, but was blocked by the faint golden light lingering around her.

Changmang was trembling in her hand. It was not as calm as Zhiyu. It felt a little insecure after suddenly coming to a strange place.

It was too dark around and she couldn't tell the direction, but Sandy kept moving forward, as if it didn't matter whether the end of the road was right or wrong.

Keep moving forward and you will reach the end.

Until Changmang saw someone familiar.

He stood at the far end with his hands behind his back, the mask on his face hiding his facial features. After all this time, no one knew what he looked like.

"Ah, you're here." He smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Chang Mang entered a state of alert almost instantly. The strong black aura on this man made people disgusted. Sandy disliked him when they first met, and Chang Mang also disliked him.

But Sandy put away Zhiyu and held down Changmang.

"Yes, I'm here." Sandy asked, "How long have you been waiting for me?"

"Well, it's been a long time."

Sandy didn't know how long it would take, it was just a guess.

She looked at the dead tree behind the man in black.

The tree was a towering old tree with a thick and majestic trunk. It seemed as if the tree was planted in the sea. When Sandy looked up, she could only see the rippling sea water. They were at the root of the tree, which was the bottom of the East China Sea.

Guixu is located in the deep valley of the East China Sea. Water from the four realms converges here. The Guixu spiritual veins are rooted in the East China Sea. The Guixu spiritual power flows to the four realms along with the water of the East China Sea, giving rise to tens of millions of spiritual veins.

Sandy has only been to Guixu twice.

The first time was when I was ten years old, and the second time is now.

The first time I saw Guixu, it wasn't as lifeless as it is now.

The young man in black turned around and looked at the dead tree with her: "This is not the real Guixu. This is just Guixu's spiritual consciousness. It is not restricted by the laws of heaven. He cannot perceive this place. This tree is the phantom of Guixu's spiritual vein."

Sandy said, "But it's dead."

"You killed it."

"No, it made me kill it."

The young man in black turned around and looked at Sandy with a smile: "Do you remember everything?"

"If I didn't remember, I wouldn't be here." Sandy looked up at the towering dead trees and murmured, "I forgot for more than a hundred years, and I finally remembered."

The sound of crisp footsteps spread out, and he walked towards her, his hands behind his back, his expression still idle and indifferent.

Sandy said nothing, her eyes still fixed on the dead tree.

The man in black came up to her and looked up at the dying Guixu Lingmai with her.

Sandy looked away and glanced at the person next to her.

When their eyes met, one person's eyes were full of indifference, while the other's eyes were full of a playful smile.

Sandy opened her lips and said word by word: "We know each other, right? What should I call you?"

"Four Bitterness?" She paused, then said, "Or is it Ah Song?"

The Micro-Life Seal made her remember most of the things. Many of the forbidden memories returned last night. In the memory, Sandy kept calling him——

Asong.

At the same time, he is also the abbot of Cangwu Taoist Temple and Bai Yu's junior fellow apprentice, Chen Shu.

It's just a false "rumor", the true rumor has been killed long ago.

Asong chuckled and put on the mask with his pale and thin hands.

Under the mask was a handsome yet sickly face. The complexion was completely pale without a single blush, and there was a deep evil between the brows.

"Sandy, after all these years, you finally remembered."

He sat cross-legged on the ground with his arms supported behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the dry Guixu Spiritual Vein with a distant gaze.

Sandy sat down next to him. "I remember now."

She and Asong sat cross-legged on the bottom of the East China Sea, with the ancient tree in front of them.

She asked: "Why did the four sufferings suddenly appear in Yaoshan County?"

Asong: "I didn't do this. It was Shi Yao who did it. She secretly placed the spiritual veins that were completely eroded by the Four Bitternesses in Yaoshan County. It has been several decades. The monks here have a lot of Four Bitternesses in their bodies. They should have gone crazy a long time ago."

"Didn't you cause the black gas in the crack? How come you didn't do it?"

"I just added fuel to the fire of these monks who were about to go crazy, and made them go crazy now." Asong curled his lips and said, "Sang Dai, if they die at the hands of the Guixu Spirit Vine, they can still be saved. But if they are turned into evil spirits by the Four Bitterness and killed by others, they will really be hopeless. Don't you know that? The Weisheng Family Seal told you, so you just ate them with the Guixu Spirit Vine, and they won't die."

Sandy said nothing, remaining silent.

The Weisheng family contract told her a lot of things, but there were also many things it didn't tell her.

Sandy came here to find an answer.

She asked Ah Song: "What else do you know?"

"I know everything."

"Including the books in my mind, the images I see, and the special abilities I have, do you know them all?"

"Yes."

Before Sandy came, she thought he was the one who could give her the answers, but she didn't expect that he could give her all the answers.

Including the family seal that Weisheng didn't give her.

Asong turned to look at her and asked her jokingly, "So, why do you think that book that appears in your mind, the images you see frequently, and the voices you hear are all caused by it?"

"Because of what?"

Asong pointed to the dead tree in front of him and said, "Sandy, stand up and touch it, it will tell you everything."

"The truth you want will be told to you by Guixu."

"Sandy, you don't have much time, go ahead."

The old tree has dried up, but it still stands.

She wants the truth.

The truth she had been searching for, her destiny that had been changed.

Changmang and Zhiyu tried to stop her, worried that she was being plotted against.

But Sandy was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the Guixu Lingmai step by step.

She hoped Guixu would tell her the truth, the whole truth.

In fact, it was Guixu that had been leading her here, and it had something to say.

Sandy raised her hand and slowly touched the dry tree stump.

A faint light emerged from her palm, pulling her consciousness away.

***

He is the world, He is the Yao Ling, He is the Heavenly Way.

There are three thousand worlds in a single particle of dust, and eighty thousand springs in half an instant.

There are countless parallel worlds, and this world is just one of the three thousand worlds. The Heavenly Dao of this world is called "Him".

But what was born before Him actually went to hell.

Guixu swallowed up the chaos and opened up this small world. The Guixu fairyland fell into the depths of the East China Sea. The Guixu spiritual vein gave rise to countless spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy automatically divided into four categories.

The immortal energy cultivated by humans, the demon energy cultivated by monsters, the devil energy cultivated by demons, and the ghost energy cultivated by ghosts. Thus, the four realms were born, and humans, ghosts, monsters and demons appeared.

When the monks appeared, the laws of this world gradually took shape, which is the way of heaven.

The four realms call the Heavenly Dao—Him.

He lives in the eighty-first heaven. His mission is to maintain the operation of this small world. The destiny of every person is determined by Him at birth.

Guixu is the channel for him to communicate with the four realms. He uses Guixu to bestow spiritual roots on the cultivators of the four realms so that they can practice and prolong their lives.

But not everyone can ascend to the eighty-first heaven, so He divided the spiritual roots into celestial, terrestrial and virtual.

Those who have not awakened their spiritual roots are mortals and can only live for a hundred years at most.

Those with false spiritual roots are only slightly better than ordinary people, and the highest level they can achieve in this lifetime is the Golden Elixir.

Those with earth-level spiritual roots are a little better and can cultivate to the Yuanying level.

Xuan-level spiritual roots are better than Di-level spiritual roots, and the strong can even cultivate to the Mahayana level.

Heaven-level spiritual roots——

He considers this to be His gift to the four worlds.

The four realms must follow His standards. When He is in a good mood and likes someone, He will give that person a good destiny. When He is in a bad mood and dislikes someone, He will make that person suffer a rough life.

He gives the best of everything to those who have awakened their heavenly spiritual roots, including spiritual roots, family background, appearance and talent. These people will become leaders of the four realms and will surely ascend to become immortals in the future. Only those who have awakened their heavenly spiritual roots can ascend.

So He made a rule that only those with awakened Heavenly Spiritual Roots could enter the Guixu Fairyland, and only those with awakened Heavenly Spiritual Roots could use the Guixu Spiritual Power. During the Great Savage Period, there were nearly twenty people with awakened Heavenly Spiritual Roots, and they were often overcoming tribulations. That was His favorite time. He sat on a high place all day and watched them, watching the gift He gave to the world. With these people with awakened Heavenly Spiritual Roots, the four realms should be grateful to Him.

But not everyone is grateful to Heaven. Why is it that only those with awakened Heavenly spiritual roots can use Guixu spiritual power?

Guixu is clearly shared by all cultivators, so why is it that only those with awakened Heaven-level spiritual roots can use Guixu spiritual power, while millions of cultivators can only practice with the inferior spiritual veins derived from Guixu spiritual veins?

Those who have awakened their heavenly spiritual roots occupy most of the resources and possess everything that others cannot match. When resources are absolutely monopolized, the sects that have awakened their heavenly spiritual roots will prosper, while the sects that do not have awakened their heavenly spiritual roots will weaken.

Heaven is partial, so the people are angry and a war breaks out.

Tens of thousands of weak sects united to attack several large sects with awakened people of heavenly spiritual roots. It was a brutal period with flames of war.

Seven of his Heaven-level spiritual root awakeners died. That was his gift to the world. On what basis did they kill his Heaven-level spiritual root awakeners?

He was angry, resentful, and couldn't believe that a mere monk dared to question His distribution and His favoritism. He wondered how to stop all this?

Until He discovered—

Greed drives more wars to break out, hatred erupts within sects, and delusion makes these people unable to distinguish right from wrong and start wars blindly.

Love makes the couple commit suicide for each other, and the old man is willing to exchange his life for the child's. It makes people strong and fragile.

Love, greed, hatred, and delusion gathered into a thick black air. As more and more people died, the black air became thicker and thicker, and some people gradually went crazy.

He thought, He knew what to do.

Since this world did not satisfy Him, He destroyed it and created a perfect world again.

Those who have awakened their heavenly spiritual roots are still a gift from the world. He is just partial and does not allow other cultivators to ascend.

Only those chosen by Him can use the spiritual power of Guixu, and He will allow anyone He likes to ascend.

Acquired efforts are not as good as the heavenly spiritual root He bestowed upon you; it is His gift.

So He waved His hand and took out the black energy, making it even stronger. The black energy cultivated into a human body in the eighty-first heaven.

He called this person—Four Sorrows.

He gave orders for the Four Sufferings, had him descend from the eighty-one heavens into the four realms, and then threw him into the abyss.

At first, the Four Bitternesses could not defeat the Guixu spiritual power, and the Guixu spiritual power would hurt it. However, more and more people died during the Great Barbarian Period, and the Four Bitternesses became more and more intense. At that time, the Heavenly Grade Spiritual Root Awakeners mined a large amount of Guixu spiritual veins in order to fight, causing Guixu to become weaker and weaker.

Until one day, the concentrated four sufferings overwhelmed the much weaker Guixu spiritual power and eroded the Guixu spiritual vein. The main veins derived from the Guixu spiritual vein in the four realms were all poisoned. The monks who practiced relying on the spiritual veins would gradually go crazy, or become evil spirits and be killed, or die under his heavenly thunder.

Within 20,000 years, all monks will turn into evil spirits, and the only mortals who have not been corroded by the black energy will die at the hands of the monks who have turned into evil spirits.

Then this world will perish, and He can create a perfect world again.

A world where you don't need to have emotions, you can't question Him, and you just need to listen to His words.

But he didn't expect that a Tribulation Realm cultivator named Lingyin would actually betray him.

She was the first person with a Heavenly Spiritual Root Awakening who dared to rebel against Him. She practiced the art of speaking and spirituality, and she had a glimpse of His plan, which was the so-called destiny.

The four sufferings corrode the four realms, and this world perishes.

She actually gave up her ascension, took on His judgment, and told the world about it.

What's funny is that the four realms sentenced her to framing the Heavenly Dao, extracted her Heavenly Grade spiritual roots, burned her flesh and blood, and turned her soul into a fierce ghost.

He originally wanted to kill her, but she hid in the Burning Heaven Realm, cut off her own legs and made a vow with Him that she would never leave the Burning Heaven Realm in this life. She said that she knew she was wrong and asked Him to forgive her once.

Just a trickster, so He let her go.

He could not stay awake for too long. He took a lazily look at the miserable conditions of the four realms. He could only wake up at fixed times to determine the destiny of the new bloodlines of the four realms. The so-called awakening of spiritual roots was the destiny determined by Him.

Guixu is becoming weaker and weaker, and the number of people with awakened heavenly spiritual roots that He bestows upon them is decreasing. This world will soon be destroyed.

When He fell asleep again—

Guixu took action.

During the Great Barbarian Period, when the first strand of black energy was taken out of the corpse, Guixu knew the plan of the Heavenly Dao.

It used the strongest, purest and uncorrupted Guixu spiritual power in its heart to create the Osmanthus Seal and gave it to the then head of the Weisheng family. That was its purest spiritual power that had not been corroded by the four sufferings.

Because the Weisheng Clan was the only sect that did not participate in the war during the barbarian period, the Weisheng Clan was the sect that attracted the least attention from the Heavenly Dao.

The Weisheng family therefore lived in seclusion. Although many people were still affected by the war and died, some of their sects were still preserved.

Guixu was worried that if too many people possessed the Weisheng family seal, the Heavenly Dao would notice it, so the Weisheng family could only be passed down from generation to generation, and the seal could only be passed on to the new bloodline of the head of the family.

Guixu is becoming weaker and weaker, but Weisheng's family seems to have forgotten their mission after thousands of years of inheritance. They have lived in seclusion for generations and have never come to wash away the Four Sufferings. However, the Heavenly Dao has already noticed that there are sects that are not affected by the Four Sufferings.

Si Ku was burning the spiritual vein of Guixu, but Si Ku's real body was not here. In the past ten thousand years, he was often out eating, drinking and having fun, and did not listen to the words of the Heavenly Dao to stay here to guard Guixu and monitor Guixu towards his death.

This is a good opportunity. The human body is not here, only the unconscious poison of the four sufferings. Guixu takes advantage of the sleeping time of Tiandao to take action again.

Guixu thought of a solution.

It made some arrangements. When Wei Shengxuan went to attend the gathering of heroes, at the last level, the Dream Butterfly Realm, Guixu asked Dream Butterfly to bring Wei Shengxuan's consciousness in, but Dream Butterfly took the consciousness of all six of them to Guixu. It told them their destiny.

In Guixu Fairyland, the Four Bitternesses eroded Wu Hanshu, who had the weakest cultivation, and he almost went mad and killed Shaoxi. It was Tan Muqing who used his own soul power to protect Shaoxi and gave half of his soul power to Wu Hanshu. Therefore, Tan Muqing was the most severely eroded by the Four Bitternesses and went mad the first.

Wei Shengxuan and Bai Yu have already entered into a twin marriage. She knows that Bai Yu will go crazy and die, so she decides to live in seclusion with Bai Yu, give birth to a child, and pass her bloodline to the child.

Guixu thought everything could change.

Unexpectedly, Tiandao noticed it and knew about the existence of Weisheng's family, but Weisheng's family lived in seclusion and He could not find them. He also did not know that everything was Guixu's doing.

He was shocked and could not believe that anyone dared to interfere with the destiny he had set for this world, when he was clearly the master of all things.

He was furious, and called back Si Ku, who was drunk outside, and struck him with several thunders, asking him to investigate the matter and find Wei Sheng's house.

Si Ku killed Chen Shu, the abbot of Cangwu Taoist Temple at that time, and transformed into his appearance. He himself was Si Ku. When they stayed with him, the disciples of Cangwu Taoist Temple were gradually corroded by Si Ku in him and became more and more crazy. He then imprisoned these disciples and announced to the outside world that the disciples had died in Guixu Fairyland.

Three hundred years after the death of Bai Yu and Chen Shu's mentor, Bai Yu returned to the Cangwu Taoist Temple to pay homage, bringing along Wei Shengxuan, who was pregnant at the time.

Only that one time, they only came out this one time in the past hundred years.

Wei Shengxuan hated Dust Shu very much, because Dust Shu at that time was no longer Dust Shu, he was the Four Sufferings.

Weisheng's family was discovered in Kunshan.

That's easy.

Si Ku felt that he had done everything perfectly and killed the last heir of the Weisheng family. Without the Weisheng Seal, there would be no pure Guixu spiritual power, and Si Ku would never be able to be washed away.

The four realms will eventually perish.

But Wei Sheng Sang was rescued, and Tian Dao was asleep at that time, and no one knew where Wei Sheng Sang went.

I don’t even know about the four sufferings.

Guixu hid in the East China Sea and was secretly delighted. His plan had succeeded a little bit and he had saved the bloodline of the Weisheng family.

When Sandy was three years old, Tiandao awakened and bestowed a heavenly spiritual root on Sandy, who was then the "young lady of the Sword Sect". Tiandao did not recognize her identity, but only noticed her powerful soul power, which was the most powerful soul he had ever seen.

The Heavenly Dao admired her very much. She had such a strong soul power and was the most suitable person for heavenly spiritual roots, so the Heavenly Dao arranged a perfect life for her.

The initial destiny set by Heaven for Sandy——

At the age of three, one refines Qi; at the age of five, one builds the foundation; at the age of seventeen, one forms the elixir; at the age of fifty, one becomes an infant; and at the age of one hundred, one becomes a spirit.

Her life span will be long enough to last until the four sufferings have completely eroded the four realms, and she should die then.

But--

When Sandy was about to turn ten, she made up her mind to be a swordsman. The seal of Weisheng's family contract gradually awakened, and the Heavenly Dao slowly became aware of her existence.

But at the beginning, the destiny was set, and He had no way to do it personally. As for Si Ku, he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and could not do anything. He always slept for a long time and no one could wake him up. The way of heaven was extremely disappointed in him.

At this time——

Shi Yao appeared.

Tiandao heard her prayer: "Why? Why don't I have spiritual roots? Sandy's spiritual roots should be mine. Dad said her spiritual roots are mine!"

She was frail and sickly and should have died at the age of ten. It was the Heaven that renewed her life and saved her with the Four Bitter Poisons. As a deal, Shi Yao had to help the Heaven and change the perfect destiny that He had set for Sandy when he was ignorant.

If Shi Yao were to harm Sandi, it wouldn't be considered as His doing.

It added fuel to the fire, making the four sufferings in the Guixu spiritual vein more and more serious. The disciples of the Cangwu Taoist Temple were corroded and only a few were left alive. The evil spirit wanted to go out and kill people, and the surviving disciples tried their best to stop it.

Shi Yao asked Sang Wenzhou to send Ying Heng out. When Sang Dai fell asleep at night, Shi Yao used the four bitter poisons in her body to awaken the Micro-Life Seal in Sang Dai's sea of ​​consciousness.

The Micro-Life Seal can subconsciously wash away the four sufferings. Shi Yao used the four sufferings in her body to lead Sang Dai, who was unconscious at the time and was controlled by the Micro-Life Seal who had just awakened, to the Ruins.

The four bitterness in Guixu's spiritual veins is unprecedentedly concentrated, and the water of the East China Sea is almost dyed black. Guixu can't even clearly see that it is calling for help. Please ask Sang Dai to destroy the Guixu spiritual veins and don't let the more concentrated four bitterness poison erode more spiritual veins.

With the help of Weisheng Qiyin and Guixu Lingmai, Sang Dai helped Guixu Lingmai, who had been suffering for many years, to complete his suicide.

Shi Yao then took Sang Dai to the Cangwu Taoist Temple.

Sandy, who had just woken up at that time, didn't know what had happened, nor did she know that she had been destroyed. Countless disciples who had been eroded by the four sufferings rushed towards her and chopped her with machetes.

Those disciples who were poisoned by the Four Bitternesses used their sharp claws to tear open her flesh, stripping it off piece by piece for seven whole days. Due to her heavenly spiritual roots, Sandy's superficial wounds would heal on the second day, but new wounds would appear again.

She didn't know what was wrong with these disciples, she didn't know what the Four Sufferings were, she could only raise her sword and fight back, she didn't dare to kill them, she thought they were being tricked by someone evil.

Sandy held the sword in front of her and retreated crying: "Don't... don't come over here, why, why do you want to kill me..."

"What did I do wrong, what did I do wrong..."

But those disciples had numb and cold eyes, they swung their swords at her, and their sharp claws tore her flesh again and again.

Until Sandy died.

She was lying on the ground, her back split by a sharp blade. A disciple, with a cold mind, grabbed her heavenly spiritual root and pulled it out.

Shi Yao was sitting far away, watching her with a smile. As long as she pulled out her Tianji spiritual root, it would be hers.

Sandy was dying, and she was bleeding all over the floor.

But Shi Yao and Tian Dao had forgotten that those with awakened Heaven-level spiritual roots were extremely stubborn and could save themselves. At that time, Sandy somehow suddenly tightened the sword in her hand and killed the disciples who had pulled out her spiritual roots with one strike.

She stood up, holding the sword in one hand, her mind was no longer clear.

She murmured, "You are not human... You are not human... Exorcising evil is the responsibility of those who have awakened their heavenly spiritual roots. I should kill you, I should kill you!"

"I killed you! Die! Die!"

The Weisheng Family Seal exploded with powerful force. Sandy mobilized the only remaining Guixu spiritual power on the Weisheng Seal. With that little Guixu spiritual power and the world's best sword made of Tianyu Stone in her hand—

Killed all the disciples who attacked her.

Those disciples were all corroded by the four sufferings.

As long as she is killed, she will kill.

Shi Yao looked at her coldly, thinking that even if Sang Dai could survive, as long as she was the one who destroyed the Guixu Spiritual Vein and killed the Cangwu Taoist Temple, she would be surrounded and killed by the four realms.

The jade pendant on her waist rang, indicating that Sang Wenzhou was looking for her. Fearing that she would be exposed, Shi Yao had to hurry back immediately.

A quarter of an hour after she left, a person lying on the ground moved with difficulty.

The bloody man was not eaten away by the four sufferings. He was chopped in the vitals by them in order to stop his fellow disciple who had lost his mind from escaping.

When he was about to die, he took out the jade token and sent a message to Ying Heng.

When Ying Heng arrived and saw the corpses all over the ground, he also sensed the fluctuations in his disciple's spiritual power. He didn't understand why Sandy appeared here.

Ying Heng stumbled towards the inner courtyard. The man was almost dead.

When he saw the white-robed swordsman appear, he grabbed his ankle.

"Ho...ho...xian...xianjun..."

"The spiritual vein... has been destroyed... my disciple... is dead... dead..."

He was unconscious and only uttered those few words before he died.

At this time, Sandy killed the last disciple who was poisoned by the four sufferings.

Of the 3,000 people in the Cangwu Taoist Temple, 2,700 were eroded by the four sufferings, and the remaining 300 were killed while trying to stop their fellow disciples.

When Sandy arrived at the Cangwu Taoist Temple, it was already full of evil spirits, and she killed all of them.

But Ying Heng knew that the Four Realms would not believe the Four Sufferings. The Four Realms were blindly loyal to the Way of Heaven and could never believe that the Way of Heaven would destroy the world.

It is true that the spiritual veins were destroyed and it is true that Sandy killed these disciples.

Ying Heng's sword fell to the ground with a bang and he could no longer pick it up.

Sandy regained consciousness.

Heavy rain fell on her, and Sandy looked at Ying Heng in the distance.

She blinked and wiped the rain off her face. "Master, you're back?"

But Yingheng was crying, and his whole body was covered with rain.

Sandy sensed something was wrong. She looked blankly at the corpses on the ground, then picked up the sword with trembling hands.

After the silence, a piercing roar broke out.

Sandy screamed, took a few steps back, and cried loudly, her eyes filled with fear and terror, and was tripped by the corpse behind her and fell to the ground.

She fell to the ground, supported herself with her arms and crawled backwards, screaming as she looked at the corpses lying on the ground.

"Master, Master! Impossible, I can't possibly kill anyone! Impossible!"

Ying Heng's heart was broken. Of course he knew what was going on.

But Sandy was insane. She covered her head and knelt on the ground. She knelt in front of the corpses and said almost crazily: "No, you want to kill me, you want to kill me!"

"What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? Why are you killing me?"

Ying Heng knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. He stretched out his hand to touch her: "Daidai..."

But Sandy became confused again, and in an instant she changed her words, and apologized again and again with tears streaming down her face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm wrong, I'm wrong! I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

Ying Heng almost crawled over on his knees and held her in his arms as she tried to commit suicide: "Daidai, Daidai!"

Sandy screamed and struggled. She cried and apologized, "Ah! Master, I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I was wrong! I was wrong!"

"Master, Master, please kill me! Please kill me!"

Ying Heng was unable to stop her at all, and she almost broke free and killed herself with a sword. He knocked the person in his arms unconscious and looked at her pale face and body covered with wounds helplessly.

Sang Dai is the only heir of the Weisheng family. She has not yet grown up to the point where she can wash away the four sufferings and save the four realms. This incident cannot be blamed on her.

She would die, she would die, but she could not die, her life was more precious than his.

She is the only heir of the Weisheng family, and she cannot be involved in this matter so early.

Ying Heng looked at the corpses all over the ground and didn't know what to do. The spiritual seals on the corpses were all hers, and it was she who destroyed the Guixu spiritual vein.

At this time, the person who had been sitting on the roof suddenly spoke lazily: "Hey, she was quite good at fighting. It's a pity that she died."

Ying Heng raised his eyes with trembling eyelashes and looked: "You... who are you?"

The man in black was wearing a mask so his face couldn't be seen clearly. He smiled and said, "Me? I'm someone who can help you."

Ying Heng was confused at the time and didn't care why this person appeared here: "...How can you help?"

The man in black suddenly said, "Well, sleeping and drinking every day is too boring. While He is still asleep and the woman is not here, let's play a game."

"…What game?"

"I think your disciple is pretty powerful, so how about we take a gamble and see if Sandy can survive his murderous intent?"

Ying Heng hugged Sandi tightly in his arms. In fact, he could not understand what this man said at all, but the invisible aura around him made him subconsciously think that this man was a hidden master. He was desperate and did not know why he believed this man.

"Please...save my disciple...I am willing to take the blame for her."

The man in black jumped off the roof, stood in the distance with his hands clasped, and asked him: "But you have to think clearly. Even if you take all the blame, the person you want to protect may not survive."

Do you dare to bet?

Do you dare to bet your life on an unknown outcome?

Ying Heng lowered his head and glanced at Sandy, brushing away her rain-soaked hair.

He looked at her for a long time, then suddenly chuckled, "I once swore that as long as I am alive, I will keep her safe."

"When I was young, my family was killed because of my Heavenly Root. I failed to protect them. Since then, I have hidden my Heavenly Root. I am unwilling to accept its existence, as if it would not remind me that I lost my family because of it."

Ying Heng trembled and said, "But now... I am lucky that I am a person with awakened spiritual roots. I can protect my disciples."

He could take the blame for her.

The man in black used some unknown method to wash away the spiritual seal left by Sandy on the corpse and spiritual veins, and replaced it with Ying Heng's spiritual seal.

Ying Heng used half of his power to seal Sandi's memory, creating a restriction that was almost undetectable.

He sent Sandi back to the Sword Sect, and the man in black used the strange black energy on his body to disrupt the memories of all the disciples in the back mountain.

From Sandy's perspective, all she did every day was practice swordplay and count stars in the yard waiting for Ying Heng to come back.

From the perspective of the disciples in the back mountain, Sandy would either practice swordplay or return to the courtyard in the evening to wait for Ying Heng to come back.

Sandy was completely plucked out, and it was only on the fifth day after her tenth birthday that Ying Heng pretended to return to the Sword Sect.

At that time, the affairs of Guixu Lingmai and Cangwu Taoist Temple had been exposed, and he cooked the last meal for his disciples.

He told her: "Dade, no matter what you encounter in the future, you must remember to go your own way. Don't listen, don't look, and don't stop. We are all right, they are wrong."

What is wrong are the four sufferings, and what is wrong are the people who foolishly believe in the way of heaven.

What is wrong is the unfair and cruel way of heaven.

Shi Yao's plan failed again, and this time, she had almost no chance of success.

Sandy was no longer close to Jian Zong. After Ying Heng left, she became more and more solitary and taciturn.

She became stronger and stronger, and she also got to know the demon king Su Xuan.

Countless people from the four realms wanted to kill Sang Dai because of the Heng incident, but they were often scared away by her identity as the eldest daughter of the Sword Sect, or were killed by Sang Dai herself, or by the demon king Su Xuan.

Shi Yao wanted to take action countless times, but she could see the demon king guarding not far from Sandy almost every other day.

Su Xuan is a person with awakened spiritual roots of heaven level. Heaven blesses those with awakened spiritual roots of heaven level. And the only person he wants to kill is Sang Dai. Shi Yao cannot do anything to Su Xuan.

But fortunately, as soon as Ying Heng left, the Sword Sect began to undergo a blood transfusion.

Poisoned Sandi and stripped away her spiritual roots bit by bit. The flesh and blood of those with awakened heavenly spiritual roots still had strong vitality, which could suppress the four sufferings in Shi Yao's body, so Sandi became weaker and weaker.

The most troublesome person around Sandy is the nine-tailed fox demon king.

Shi Yao lacks a trusted confidant who can be used. Tiandao tells Shi Yao that the Bifang clan's natural ability is suppression, and the Bifang clan will suffer a disaster in the near future.

Shi Yao saved Bifang. This young man had pure divine beast blood and a mysterious spiritual root. If he grew up quickly, he would surely be able to suppress Su Xuan in the future.

When Sandai was 119 years old, Su Xuan was seriously injured during a spiritual meridian extraction and chose to go into seclusion.

The injury that time was actually caused by Bifang's natural ability.

Su Xuan's spiritual power was suppressed, and he thought it was due to his spiritual veins. He was seriously injured and almost died. His cultivation level dropped sharply and he had to calm down and cultivate himself.

At that time, Shi Yao had not done anything to Sandy for many years. Apart from the monthly poison, she and Sandy looked like good senior and junior sisters.

Sandi is so powerful that no one can kill her. She is taciturn but has never been seriously injured. Su Xuan actually trusts Sandi to be alone, so he really goes into seclusion.

He had been shut up for thirteen years, and he had not been with Sandy to keep her company.

When Sandai was 132 years old, Tiandao asked Shi Yao and Si Ku to take action. Shi Yao was willing to do it, but Si Ku seemed reluctant to do it.

But there is no other way, we must obey the words of Heaven.

The four bitter people made the demon world and the monster world join forces to attack the fairy world. Shi Yao instigated Sang Wenzhou to transfer Shen Ciyu away, and the main fighting force of the Sword Sect was only Sang Dai.

She fought for seventeen days with most of her heavenly spiritual roots stripped away, her golden elixir was shattered, and her meridians were cut.

It snowed heavily in Tiansang that day.

Miss Sandy, the eldest daughter of the Sword Clan, is dead.
