Return to the Ruins (Part 3)
At the top of Tianque Mountain, the disciples hurried forward.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, there are only thick dark clouds. Tianque Mountain is so high and majestic that you can almost touch the clouds with your hand.
A cold wind swept through the thick clouds, and drizzles continued. In fact, it rarely rains in the fairyland, especially in Tianque Mountain where the Sword Sect is located. There is much less rain and snow. Shen Ciyu has only seen snow once and rain only a few times in the hundred years since he came to the Sword Sect.
But for some reason today, although the Astronomical Observer had predicted a sunny day, it rained heavily in the fairyland. It should be said that it was raining in the entire four realms.
Shen Ci Yu looked up, his white clothes were wet by the rain, and the jade token on his waist went out again. This was the thirteenth time he had died.
A man holding an umbrella came up from behind and held up an umbrella for him.
Originally, cultivators could rely on spiritual power to avoid the rain, but Shen Ciyu seemed to have forgotten how to do it and let the heavy rain hit his body. The jade token on his waist lit up again, but he still did not pick it up.
The person holding an umbrella for him sighed and said, "Ci Yu, you are the next leader of the Immortal Alliance of Jiuzhou and the leader of the Sword Sect. Why are you doing this? Do you know that you are gambling with your own future?"
The jade token on his waist flashed three times rapidly. This was the message from the Immortal Alliance, but Shen Ci Yu never answered it. It was obviously an order to resist the Immortal Alliance.
Shen Ci Yu looked at the huge crowd at the foot of the mountain. Those sword practitioners in white gathered in front of the Sword Sect's stage, silently resisting Shen Ci Yu's orders.
The Immortal Alliance wants the Sword Sect to send troops.
The disciples asked Shen Ciyu to lead them to attack the demon world.
Shen Ci Yu just stood on the top of Tianque Mountain, saying nothing and doing nothing.
Shen Feng was helpless, and when he spoke again, his voice was filled with pleading: "Ci Yu, I know you think Sandy is right and have a good relationship with Sandy, but Ci Yu, you have to think about yourself. In this situation, you can only survive by standing against Sandy and Ying Heng. Do you understand?"
Shen Ciyu certainly understood.
He stood on a high place and looked down at the tens of thousands of disciples below. In the past, he was the most respected senior brother among these disciples. Later, when the Sword Sect was under siege, he succeeded the position of the Sword Sect's leader, eliminated the elders involved in the incident, and restored the reputation of the Sword Sect.
Now he is the leader of the Sword Sect.
He knew what to do. As a person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots, the leader of the Sword Sect, and the future leader of the Immortal Alliance in Jiuzhou, he knew it all.
"Ci Yu, go ahead. If Sandy wants to protect Ying Heng, she won't survive... You are someone who wants to do great things. Don't be bound by your children's personal feelings. Compared to your future, feelings are nothing."
Shen Ci Yu suddenly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. This sigh seemed to express all his hesitations, as if he had made up his mind to do something.
"Ci Yu?"
Shen Ciyu said: "Father."
Shen Feng quickly responded: "Hey, father is here."
Shen Ciyu asked: "When I was fifteen, I made the Sword Heart, and Xing Xi recognized me as his master. You were very happy at that time, and you told me something."
It had been so long that Shen Feng couldn't remember what they had said. He asked back, "Ci Yu, what did your father say to you?"
——You have a sword named Xingjie. With this sword in hand, you can calm all the chaos in the world and all the storms in the nine provinces. You don’t seek for future gains or fortune in what you do, but only to have a clear conscience and be worthy of this heavenly spiritual root in you.
"Ci Yu..."
"Father, the Heaven-level spiritual root awakeners are the leaders chosen by Yao Ling. All the previous Heaven-level spiritual root awakeners have held high positions to protect the safety of the area. There have been 117 Heaven-level spiritual root awakeners born in the world of cultivation, and ten of them died. Except for Senior Lingyin, Immortal Lord Yingheng and the Heaven-level spiritual root awakeners of our generation, the rest have ascended to become immortals. You told me that the Heaven-level spiritual root awakeners are Yao Ling's gift to the world."
Shen Ciyu raised his eyes, looked at the dim sky, and said in a light voice: "As a person with a heavenly spiritual root awakening, you should always be loyal to Yao Ling. He gave us the most powerful things. In the eyes of the four realms, he is always fair. But tell me, what did Sang Dai do wrong, what did Senior Ling Yin do wrong, and what did Su Xuan do wrong? Why did Yao Ling want to kill them?"
A muffled thunder exploded in the clouds.
Shen Feng quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Ci Yu, stop talking, you will die if you betray the way of heaven!"
"I am a person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots. The four realms all say that people with awakened heavenly spiritual roots are a gift from heaven to the world. It is heaven that gave me a powerful heavenly spiritual root. I have received the respect of the four realms. In return, I should die for the four realms. I can die for the four realms. For more people to live, I am willing to die."
"I exchanged one person for millions of lives. Even if I die, even if there is no reincarnation, I will not regret it. I will not regret it."
"Ci Yu!"
"But father--" Shen Ciyu suddenly shouted, drawing his sword and pointing it to the sky: "What is He doing now? Is He saving the four realms! Or is He destroying the four realms! What kind of heaven is He!"
"Shen Ciyu!"
The umbrella fell to the ground, and dark clouds appeared in the sky above the Sword Sect.
The top of Tianque Mountain was dark. The terrifying pressure almost made people kneel down. It seemed that there were two eyes staring at him in the clouds.
Shen Feng slapped him in the face.
The pressure from behind the clouds almost made him surrender subconsciously, but his desire to protect his son made him stand in front of Shen Ciyu without hesitation.
He slapped Shen Ciyu hard, as if he was doing it for someone to see, and he used a lot of force. Shen Ciyu's cheek was red and swollen, with a clear slap mark on it, and blood was flowing from the corner of his lips.
"What a mess!"
Shen Feng slapped him again.
"Do you know what you are saying? Everything you have is given by heaven. Are you going to rebel against heaven now? Do you want your parents to lose you?"
Shen Ci Yu raised his eyes to look at him, the mark on his left face was too obvious, Shen Feng had never dealt such a heavy hand to him since he was a child. As the young master of the Shen family, the eldest senior brother of the Sword Sect, and a person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots in the fairy world, he had been smooth sailing all the way and was admired by countless people.
Speaking of Shen Ci Yu, the people knew that he was the future leader of the Sword Sect, the future master of the Immortal Alliance of Jiuzhou, and the future leader of the Immortal World.
Family background, talent, spiritual roots, reputation, everything he possessed was given by Heaven. Heaven would grant the most powerful things to those who have awakened their spiritual roots. But since when did he change?
He is no longer just.
Shen Feng's eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was trembling, his eyes were full of heartache, and his hand that had just slapped Shen Ciyu was shaking.
He regretted it. He shouldn't have taught Shen Ci Yu to be so kind, shouldn't have sent Shen Ci Yu to the Sword Sect, and shouldn't have let him become such a wise man.
Living in a muddle is actually quite good, at least you are alive.
Shen Ciyu wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and said softly, "Father, if I really listened to you and drew my sword against the demon world today, you would have lost me forever."
He untied the jade token from his waist that symbolized the Sword Sect's leader and threw it away. The jade token, wrapped in wind and rain, fell from the top of Tianque Mountain and landed in front of his disciples.
The crisp sound covered the heavy rain. The disciples looked up in confusion and saw a jade token hanging on the top of the Sword Sect's Fingering to the Sky Stone.
It is the identity symbol of every successive Sword Sect leader, and the wearer is the Sword Sect leader.
The clear voice was spread by spiritual power: "Sword Sect Master Shen Ciyu has betrayed the Sword Sect and severed ties with the Shen Family. He will no longer enter the Immortal Realm in this life and will be a casual cultivator from now on. The successor to the Sword Sect Master is Fang Heng, the second inner disciple of the Tianque Sword Sect."
After a moment of silence, the disciples looked up at the top of Tianque Mountain.
The hazy white shadow that had been standing there just now had long disappeared, leaving only the increasingly heavy rain falling on them. The thick clouds hanging over the Sword Sect were so dark that it seemed like the end of the world.
Then, someone said in a trembling voice:
"The leader... betrayed."
Shen Feng bent down and tremblingly raised his hand that had just slapped Shen Ciyu.
His palms were filled with water droplets, and he couldn't tell whether they were rain or tears.
He cried softly, and suddenly slapped himself hard. He wanted to chase Shen Ciyu in a daze, but he could no longer find his child.
What Shen Ciyu insisted on was never Sandy, but the righteousness behind Sandy.
Even if it wasn't Sandy, he seemed to do the same.
The way of heaven is unfair. It is indifferent to the four sufferings of Guixu that have existed for ten thousand years. Instead, it wants to kill the only person who can destroy the four sufferings, and let the four realms degenerate into evil spirits driven by the four sufferings. Is this saving the world?
Or is the world being destroyed?
***
Yaoshan County was once the most heavily guarded city in the demon world. It housed people from the four realms of humans, ghosts, demons, and monsters. Located in the deepest part of the demon world, it was the most heavily defended and quietest place. Although Su Xuan seldom came here, there were many demon soldiers stationed here.
Now, almost all of these demon soldiers are dead, and the remaining ones are responsible for protecting Huaying and these children.
Another demon cultivator rushed over, and the demon cultivator who stepped forward to resist him had already exhausted all his strength.
The child screamed and cried, and Huaying rushed forward to block the evil cultivator's machete for her.
The sharp blade was only a millimeter away from his back. Hua Ying closed her eyes tightly, thinking that she was going to die here. The support from the main city was slow to arrive, and she had already run out of options.
——Zheng.
It was the sound of sharp blades colliding.
An invisible barrier fell from the sky, forming a solid protective shield that surrounded her and a dozen children.
The baby in Huaying's arms was crying, and the little girl under her was also howling.
The shrill cry brought Huaying back to consciousness. She opened her eyes with her long eyelashes trembling, and looked back blankly.
A person was suspended in the void, his clean blue clothes fluttering in the strong wind, his waist-length black hair was tied up with only a nine-string hairpin that symbolized his identity as the Demon Queen, and he held a sword in his right hand, the tip of which was dripping with blood.
With one slash of her sword, she pierced the demon cultivator's heart.
Huaying sat up and said, "Madam..."
Sandy did not look back at her, but soared high into the sky. The heavy rain was blocked by the spiritual power shield around her. Under the dim sky, she lowered her head and looked down at the tragic situation in Yaoshan County.
The once clean streets were now filled with corpses and blood, as the monks, eroded by the four sufferings, killed each other.
The Weisheng family seal told her——
Kill.
Once corroded by the four sufferings, one is no longer a human being; the spirit and soul have been eaten up, leaving only an empty shell.
Sandy closed her eyes and summoned the wooden box with one hand.
The Guixu Lingteng in the wooden box is still sleeping.
Sang Dai opened her eyes, used her spiritual power to take out the Guixu Lingvine, and waved her sleeves to remove the restrictions on it.
The dormant Guixu Lingteng gradually awakens.
Sandy lowered her head to look at it, and a golden osmanthus seal slowly emerged on her forehead, and powerful and pure Guixu spiritual power lingered around her.
It takes a long time to wash away the four sufferings, but only a moment to eat away the four sufferings.
The newly awakened Guixu Spirit Vine sensed the pure Guixu spiritual power and its body paused. The previously wilted branches and leaves rustled, and the seven red flowers on its body trembled in unison. It seemed to have eyes and raised its body to accurately find Sandy's position.
Sandy said in a deep voice: "I went to suffer four hardships."
The main vine suddenly grew huge, and thousands of vines grew out from the main vine. The thick vines crawled to the ground and swam far away, sneaking into the interconnected alleys and swallowed up the body of the Four Bitternesses who were killing people.
"lady……"
Sandy landed in front of Huaying.
But after not seeing her for a few months, Huaying felt that this lady seemed to have changed a lot.
The aura on her body became stronger, and her eyes became more complicated. Somehow, she looked at Huaying with a look that made her see a hint of...
Guilt.
What are you feeling guilty about?
Sang Dai squatted down and looked at the baby in Hua Ying's arms. This was the child she and Su Xuan held when they went there last time.
The swordsman's cold expression suddenly softened. She leaned over and hugged the child. The crying child fell into her arms and slowly stopped crying.
The baby girl was sucking her fingers blankly, then suddenly she smiled innocently and stretched out her chubby little hand to touch her face.
Sandy leaned forward and let the baby girl smear her saliva on her face.
She was only a few months old, and her little hands were stroking the corners of Sandy's eyes.
Huaying hurried to stop her, thinking that the child would rub her saliva on people as usual, but before she touched the baby girl, she saw Sandy leaning over.
She lowered her head and rested her forehead on the baby girl's swaddling clothes. Huaying looked over blankly, but only saw a crystal teardrop dripping from her thick long eyelashes.
"……lady."
It turns out that the baby was wiping her tears just now?
Sandy said hoarsely, "I'm sorry."
Huaying didn't know why she said sorry.
It was clearly she who saved these children. The vine wandered around Yaoshan County and swallowed up the body of the Four Bitterness in one gulp, saving the people who were being hunted by the Four Bitterness.
Why, why should I say sorry?
Sandy raised her head and kissed the baby girl's forehead, then handed the child to Huaying.
Huaying took it blankly.
Sandy curled the corners of her lips and smiled softly, her eyes were gentle but with some indescribable emotions.
"I like Yaoshan County very much. I like everything in the demon world."
"Madam, you..."
Sang Dai stood up. Behind her was the Yaoshan County covered with Guixu Lingvines and the Four Bodies of Bitterness. In front of her were Huaying and the newborn children.
She turned around and her eyes fell on the hilltop in the distance.
“So, I will protect all of this with my life.”
Huaying followed Sandy's gaze with difficulty.
On the top of a distant mountain, there is a crack that is only wide enough for one person to pass through. Thick black air surges out of the crack, turning into thin black lines that flow towards Yaoshan County.
Huaying understood.
Those crazy people in Yaoshan County are controlled by these black lines.
Or, it was eroded by the black gas coming out of the cracks.
Huaying suddenly understood what Sandy was going to do.
She held the child in her arms, quickly got up and rushed towards Sandy.
"Madam, Madam, don't!"
Sandy's figure disappeared in an instant, and appeared on the opposite hill in the blink of an eye.
Su Xuan once took Sang Dai to stand on the top of this mountain to look at the entire Yaoshan County, and took her to see most of the demon world, telling her how happy the people in the demon world lived.
She likes it here.
So she has to keep this place.
"Madam! You can't go! You can't go!"
Huaying ran away, but saw Sandy jumping into the crack without even looking back.
When the last bit of blue on the skirt disappeared into the crack, the crack quietly closed.
It was as if after swallowing a monk in the Tribulation Realm, its goal was achieved.
"lady!!!"
Huaying fell to the ground, and the baby girl in her arms cried loudly.
No one knows what is inside the crack. It has controlled the bodies of most of the monks in Yaoshan County and devoured their souls, turning them into killing tools driven by the black energy. It can even kill its own children and relatives. It has no humanity and only knows how to kill.
But Sandy jumped in, jumped into the thick black air, and disappeared before her eyes.
Huaying hugged the baby girl in her arms in a daze.
A hundred miles away is the main city of the demon world.
There were bursts of thunder in the void, and lightning shuttled through the clouds like a long dragon.
There were so many people in the huge crowd that it was impossible to count them. Their robes and magical instruments of different styles symbolized that they came from different sects.
The person at the end of the crowd was dressed in golden clothes, and behind him were a dozen old men in the same clothes. They looked quite old, and one could tell at a glance from the aura around them that they belonged to the immortal sect.
On the city wall, Liu Lixue came to Su Xuan.
He glanced at his own lord who was standing with his hands behind his back, his expression still calm, looking down at the tens of thousands of people below with indifference, as if everything was nothing in his eyes.
Without Sang Dai, Su Xuan was not gentle at all, and was just like the man who had massacred the Twelve Palaces alone in the past.
If Liu Lixue had not seen his clenched fists behind his back, she would have thought that this man was as calm as in the past.
Liu Lixue whispered, "My Lord, the demon world is now in chaos. The people somehow found out that Immortal Lord Ying Heng is now in the demon world and asked us to either kill Ying Heng or... prove Immortal Lord Ying Heng's innocence as the Immortal Alliance said."
Su Xuan asked: "Has Immortal Lord Ying Heng woke up?"
“Not yet.”
Su Xuan was silent. Behind the city wall were the people of the demon world, who gathered on the streets and looked up at their master.
Since this monarch ascended the throne as a teenager, everything he has done has made the demon world better and better. It is the only place without war among the four realms and the place with the strongest financial resources among the four realms. They admire Su Xuan and are willing to follow him all their lives.
However, the deeply rooted ideas over the years told them that the Guixu spiritual vein is the foundation of the four realms, and destroying the Guixu spiritual vein is a great sin.
If their lord protects him, the demon world will be besieged by the other three worlds, and Su Xuan will also be surrounded and killed.
Su Xuan is a good monarch in the demon world, respected by all demons. They are loyal to him and are willing to risk their lives to protect the demon world with him. They hope that Su Xuan can live long and govern the demon world well, instead of sacrificing his own life for a sinner.
How could Su Xuan not know?
Liu Lixue said, "My Lord, I know you are worried that the matter behind the scenes will implicate Madam, but Madam told you to open the Tongtian Mirror before she left."
The Tongtian Mirror can only be opened by someone who is undergoing a tribulation. Now that Sang Dai has gone to Yaoshan County, Su Xuan is the only one who is undergoing a tribulation here.
The stalemate lasted too long, and a deep voice came from a distance.
"Monster King, Ying Heng is still guilty and a criminal of the four realms. If you want to protect him, you will put the demon world in danger. Then the immortal world will inevitably attack the demon world to eliminate the criminal. The same is true for the underworld and demon worlds."
As Yuan Lin finished speaking, hundreds of mustard seed boats appeared on the dim sky, and from a distance they were all human figures.
Liu Lixue cursed secretly: "The Immortal Alliance has already spread the news to the underworld and the demon world. The ghosts and demons are all clamoring for Fu You and Ji Cang to lead them to get rid of Immortal Lord Ying Heng. Fu You and Ji Cang are in this position, so they must do this."
Therefore, today the demon world is facing siege from the other three worlds.
In fact, there is a better solution. Hand over Ying Heng and never care about him again. This matter will have nothing to do with the demon world.
If Ying Heng were awake, he would definitely choose this method.
The monsters in the city were terrified, feeling the pressure from the other three realms. Seeing their own master being indifferent, they became very anxious.
"My Lord, you are the demon king. The demon world has not seen a war for a hundred years. Are you going to go to war with the other three worlds just because of Ying Heng?"
"My Lord, he is a sinner, he is a sinner! You can't sacrifice your life for him!"
"He is the sinner who destroyed the Guixu spiritual vein and massacred the Cangwu Taoist temple!"
"My Lord, you must live well and you must not shield sinners!"
"Hand over Ying Heng! Don't let the demon world suffer heavy casualties!"
If a war really breaks out with the other three realms, the demon realm will definitely suffer the heaviest casualties, Su Xuan understands all of this.
The armies of the Demon Realm and the Underworld also arrived at the gate of the Monster Realm. On that vast plain stretching for thousands of miles, only a sea of human heads could be seen.
All I could feel was a heavy murderous intent and pressure.
Yuan Lin curled his lips and smiled softly, and came to the front of the fairy world: "Demon King, if you say Ying Heng is innocent, then please prove it. Aren't you in the tribulation? The Tongtian Mirror is the magic weapon of our fairy alliance. The monks who are in the tribulation can open the Tongtian Mirror to capture a person's soul, find his memory and project it to the four realms."
"If Ying Heng is innocent, then prove it to us!"
Countless people echoed him.
"If Ying Heng is innocent, prove it to us! Anyone who shields the real murderer is a sinner of the four realms!"
The deafening shouting almost broke Liu Lixue's eardrums. There was chaos inside the Demon Realm City, and there was chaos outside the city as well.
No matter how calm he was, he couldn't help but panic: "My Lord, make a decision quickly!"
Su Xuan's Adam's apple rolled slightly. He glanced at the hundreds of thousands of people under the city wall. There were many reinforcements in the mustard seed boats on the sky. They really came with the intention of attacking.
"...Go and bring the Immortal Lord here." Su Xuan closed his eyes, his breathing stagnated, and his voice was dull: "His spiritual roots have been integrated by Nangong Candle, and his lost memories have also returned. Even though he has not awakened yet, you can still use the Tongtian Mirror to capture his soul."
"Daidai said she wanted to prove Immortal Lord Yingheng's innocence, so let's do it."
Sandy asked him to help Ying Heng clear his name, so he did.
Su Xuan opened his eyes, the struggle in his eyes disappeared, and he said in a cold voice: "Go and ask Ying Heng the Immortal Lord!"
The rain hit the spiritual power shield, and the crackling sound seemed to hit his heart. He raised his eyes and saw only dark and depressing clouds.
Liu Lixue saluted: "Yes, my lord."
He was about to turn around and leave when he heard a light voice.
"No need to ask, I'm here."
The sound was very gentle, like the gurgling of clear spring water in the mountains, which made people feel good just by hearing it.
When a man appeared above the city wall, the four realms were shaken.
"Ying Heng! It's Ying Heng!"
"Sinner, it's a sinner, he's not dead!"
"Kill Ying Heng, kill Ying Heng!"
Su Xuan and Liu Lixue turned around together and looked at the person who came.
He seemed to have just woken up, his black hair was still tied loosely with a headband, his face was still as pale as snow, his eyes were gentle, and the air pressure around him was strong and pure.
When his entire heavenly spiritual root returned, his five senses returned, and his cultivation also returned.
A cultivator who has reached the highest level of Mahayana, one could tell how powerful he was just by standing there.
"Immortal Lord..."
Ying Heng ignored the shouts from the four realms against him. If it weren't for the protection of Su Xuan's barrier surrounding him, the spiritual power that the monks under the city wall shot at him from time to time would have been enough to injure him several times.
He came in front of Su Xuan, his eyes curved: "Demon King, was it Dai Dai who asked you to clear my name?"
Su Xuan opened his mouth and finally responded: "Yes."
Ying Heng smiled and asked, "What did she say?"
Su Xuan pursed his lips and told him what Sang Dai had said.
——"Su Xuan, please help my master, open the Tongtian Mirror and clear his name."
Ying Heng also asked: "What was her expression when she said this?"
Su Xuan replied: "He is laughing."
Sandy said this with a smile, her eyebrows were curved, her eyes were gentle, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles.
Ying Heng lowered his head and laughed quietly a few times, but Su Xuan and Liu Lixue saw his tears falling drop by drop.
Ying Heng raised his skinny hand. He had lost so much weight over the years that there was almost no flesh on his body. Even his fingers were like dry tree trunks.
He murmured in a low voice: "I must have done something wrong...I must have done something wrong..."
Su Xuan's heart was in a panic, and he asked hurriedly: "My Lord, what happened back then? Do you remember?"
Ying Heng turned around and looked at the three realms under the city wall.
He whispered to himself: "Some things will eventually come to pass."
He curled the corners of his lips and looked at Yuan Lin below, clearly seeing the hatred in Yuan Lin's eyes.
Yuan Lin hated the people who massacred the people in Cangwu Taoist Temple.
Ying Heng said softly, "I am Ying Heng."
Just a few words interrupted the noise in the four realms.
The only sound around him was the sound of rain. He raised his head and looked towards the dim sky.
He said, "Let me tell you the truth about what happened back then."
Ying Heng closed his eyes, "Xiao Xuan, help Dai Dai fulfill her wish."
Su Xuan's hands were shaking, and he suddenly felt that something seemed to be beyond his imagination.
But Yuan Lin had already taken out the Tongtian Mirror.
The mirror that had been sealed in dust for ten thousand years was hanging high in the sky.
Yuan Lin pointed at Su Xuan with one hand and said, "Demon King Su Xuan, your wife is a disciple of Ying Heng. Even if you want to help her, you have the responsibility to open this Tongtian Mirror and tell the four realms the truth!"
"Open the Tongtian Mirror and reveal the truth of the four realms!"
"Open the Tongtian Mirror and reveal the truth of the four realms!"
The four realms, which once had different positions, now unified their positions, and different people were shouting the same words.
Liu Lixue trembled and said, "My Lord, please open it... This is what Madam wants."
That's what Sandy meant.
Before leaving, Sandy told him twice to open the mirror.
She entrusted him with the task of proving her mentor's innocence.
Su Xuan knew what to do, but something in his heart seemed to be telling him——
Can’t open. Can’t open.
Once it's opened, it's over.
He didn't move, and the shouting from all four realms became louder and louder.
The monsters in the city looked at their lord nervously, hoping that he could become the wise ruler who was decisive in killing people in the past, and not destroy the monster world because of one person.
Liu Lixue sighed and urged again: "My Lord, please open it."
Su Xuan turned his head away, took a deep breath, raised his trembling hands, and golden spiritual power surged out from his palms and split into two streams.
One was pulling towards Ying Heng's sea of consciousness, and the other was pulling towards the Tongtian Mirror in the distance.
The dim mirror gradually became brighter, and a faint light surrounded the Tongtian Mirror. Hundreds of thousands of people held their breath and looked up into the void.
The rain was blocked outside the barrier of the Tongtian Mirror, and the mirror suddenly shone brightly.
The bright light from the mirror was projected into the void and turned into a curtain of light.
In the light curtain, the truth of that year slowly emerged.
It was raining that day, and the heavy rain could not cover up the screams. The rain washed away the blood all over the ground, and the ankle-deep water had turned blood red.
A trembling breath came from the sky. This was Ying Heng's breathing. What the four worlds saw was Ying Heng's perspective.
It kept spinning, feeling dizzy and confused, breathing rapidly, and seeing corpses everywhere it passed.
The murderer acted decisively and slashed all the necks.
Ying Heng stumbled inside, the sword in his hand making a harsh sound as it dragged on the ground.
It was now late at night. Thunder rumbled in the sky. There were piercing rumbles of thunder in the rolling clouds. The sound of the waves crashing in the East China Sea in the distance was louder than ever before. Ying Heng's breathing became more and more rapid until he began to run.
He stepped into the blood, stepped over the corpses on the ground, and stumbled towards somewhere with a clear goal, as if he knew someone was there.
He was crying, his breathing was heavy, and his crying could not be covered by the sound of rain.
Until someone grabbed his ankle.
Ying Heng froze, as if he had not moved for a hundred years, and looked down with a stiff neck.
A pale hand, the back of which was wet with rain, lay on the ground, breathing hard, with blood oozing out of a wound on the neck.
The sound was like a broken guqin due to air leakage. The man's pupils widened and he grabbed Ying Heng's ankle with one hand.
"Ho...ho...xian...xianjun..."
His eyes widened and the blood on his neck flowed more and more.
"The spiritual vein... has been destroyed... my disciple... is dead... dead..."
“That person…that person…”
He raised one hand and pointed tremblingly into the distance.
He wanted to say something, but his throat was cut off and he couldn't utter the last words. His hand fell to the ground with a bang into the water, and the hand holding Ying Heng's ankle slowly loosened.
Ying Heng slowly raised his eyes, from the red blood to a dirty hem of clothes, and his gaze moved higher and higher.
Slowly, but clearly.
The people from the four realms held their breath, clenched their fists, and stared at the Tongtian Mirror with wide eyes.
The torn and red-stained white clothes, the tip of the sword dripping blood, the small hand holding the hilt, and then going higher and higher.
The black hair that was wet by the rain hung in front of her, her slender neck, and then——
A thunder exploded, and white light illuminated the entire courtyard, with corpses lying on the ground and people dying tragically.
as well as--
A face full of murderous intent.
The sky curtain was closed at this moment, for less than a quarter of an hour.
There was total silence in all four realms, without even a sound.
After a long time, the young man in black on the city wall suddenly leaned against the stone wall, leaned over and spit out large mouthfuls of blood.
His silver hair spread out in front of him, he coughed up blood violently, the pressure around him dissipated, and he fell to his knees.
——Su Xuan, please help my master, open the Tongtian Mirror and clear his name.
Su Xuan suddenly laughed out loud, tears welled up and fell to the ground, staining the ground with teardrops.
"You are so cruel... You are so cruel... You let me push you to this point with my own hands..."
Everyone saw it clearly.
Destroyed the Guixu spiritual vein, massacred the Cangwu Taoist temple——
It's Sandy.
