Chapter 59: The End of the Second Dungeon Lingxu Fan has met its owner, and I like it...
Jiang Zhaoxue slept soundly all night. When she woke up the next day, Pei Zichen had already gone out and left a note for her, saying that he was going to buy her some crispy Guokui.
She had mentioned this yesterday, and he had indeed passed away today.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at the note, threw it away, and got up to wash up.
Anan groaned and couldn't help but say, "He's got quite a strong mentality. It's almost as if he didn't do what happened last night."
"He wants to stay here and maintain the status quo. Since there's no way to confirm whether I've discovered he's committed murder, doesn't he have to keep pretending?"
After washing up, Jiang Zhaoxue took out the awakening pill and sent a message to Ye Tianjiao.
Anan didn't understand: "Why did he pretend? When did he wake up?"
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything. She couldn't be sure when he woke up. At the beginning? When he killed Yin Zhulong? On the night of their wedding? Or did he gradually wake up later?
"It doesn't matter when he wakes up," she thought. "What matters is that he's completely absorbed into the illusion now. He's come to regard it as something he must protect. He won't let me out."
"Why is this happening?" Anan sighed. "Everyone came in together, why is he the only one like this?"
"Because he's the one chosen by the Lingxu Fan to be tested." Jiang Zhaoxue pondered, "Actually, this illusion wasn't created for Qian Sisi, but for him. To obtain the Lingxu Fan, one must pass through numerous tests. Perhaps this illusion itself was designed to test Pei Zichen."
"How do you say that?"
"Look, this illusion began six years ago," Jiang Zhaoxue said, tapping the table, thoughtfully. "Looking at it now, Qian Sisi's wish should be to avoid the great calamity in Shuzhong. That calamity should have occurred at this very moment. Judging from the results, the Shuzhong calamity is most likely related to the emergence of the Lingxu Fan. The emergence of the Lingxu Fan has two key moments in the Shuzhong immortal path. The first is the birth of the Yinzhu Dragon four years ago, which brought about the Yinzhu Dragon Secret Realm. The Lingxu Fan is likely in this secret realm. The second is now, but why doesn't the Lingxu Fan allow us to arrive directly at the present time?"
“Because it takes time.”
Anan reacted immediately: "It needs time for Pei Zichen to sink completely and be completely swallowed up!"
"Pei Zichen is the male protagonist. He has a very strong mind. It's not easy to completely trap him in the illusion. It must weave a real and fake world."
Jiang Zhaoxue raised her eyes and looked at the scenery outside the window: "So... perhaps the requirement that Pei Zichen wake up only after his wish is fulfilled was set by the Lingxu Fan. It regarded me as part of its plan for Pei Zichen."
"I fulfilled Pei Zichen's wish. In this false illusion, Pei Zichen has found the fulfillment of a real person. Furthermore, for four years he has been secretly practicing the Nine Netherworld Realm technique, which is inherently disturbing to the mind. This has only made matters worse. Layer on layer, four years, even if he knew it was an illusion, was enough for him to give up on reality."
"So, the test Lingxu Fan gave him was whether he was willing to give up the illusion?"
"False perfection and painful reality," Jiang Zhaoxue said calmly as he stroked the Awakening Pill. "This is the test that the Lingxu Fan gave Pei Zichen. Getting out isn't difficult; just crush the Lingxu Fan. But the difficulty lies with... Pei Zichen."
He is the one who is hiding the news now, and he may also be the one who keeps blocking it in the future.
What's more troublesome is that the Yin Zhulong Secret Realm is in his hands. If he wants to stop everyone, it will be a big trouble.
"He...how could he do this?"
Anan sensed Jiang Zhaoxue's emotions and became angry too. "He has nothing left, and you still have a family. How could he force you to stay here just to help him fulfill his dream?"
"How come he can't do it?"
Jiang Zhaoxue said indifferently: "Have you forgotten who he is?"
He was the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, a demon king who would lead tens of millions of Yinzhixians to razing Zhongzhou, destroying Penglai, and leaving millions of people dead without even raising an eyelid.
It was to humiliate the master, the beast in human form who could treat the master's wife as a concubine;
It was her enemy who strangled her neck and knelt down to send her off to heaven.
She had been with him as a teenager for so long that she almost forgot what he really looked like. This illusion finally exposed him completely.
He is not a gentleman.
A gentleman, even when immersed in fantasy, does not lose his mind. How could he do such a thing for his own selfish reasons, disregarding others?
Her father's spiritual power is blocked and he has no idea of the future.
She and Ye Tianjiao have families and futures, so why should they stay here to fulfill his dream?
Selfish and unscrupulous.
Jiang Zhaoxue cursed inwardly, but her mind couldn't help but think of Pei Zichen over the years.
She remembered that in the second year of his and her training in the secret realm, they encountered an ant nest while taking shelter from the rain. Above the ant nest, there was silt from the river channel blocking the river, and the river was about to burst. When Pei Zichen turned around and saw it, he walked forward, dug out the silt with his bare hands, and changed the river course.
That day she stood quietly in the rain, looking at the ant-shaped blood vessel under his mud-stained white clothes, and was a little dazed for a moment.
After he washed his hands, he turned around and took her hand. She held his palm, which had been washed by the rain, and stroked his clearly defined joints, feeling the warmth slowly drying the rain and seeping through their clasped hands.
It felt different from the hand that had snapped her neck.
That's how she felt at that moment.
But now think about it, the hand that broke her neck was just thicker with sword calluses. It was just because of practicing the Nine Netherworld Realm technique for a long time that it would lose the original human warmth.
Pei Zichen, the Lord of the Nine Netherworld, and the current Pei Zichen are no different, except that they were born at a different time.
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Anan felt uneasy. He jumped onto the table, looked up at her, and said hesitantly, "Um...what are you going to do now?"
"He can't get out of this illusion, so I'll do it for him." Jiang Zhaoxue said calmly, "After I break the Lingxu Fan, it would be best if the Lingxu Fan can recognize me as its master. If not..."
Jiang Zhaoxue sneered: "Then he must be recognized."
"What a good life!" Anan sighed, "We have to prepare wedding clothes again."
"I've done a lot of wedding dress making, so this one isn't a big deal," Jiang Zhaoxue said coldly, consoling herself. "Anyway, with the Soul Locking Formation, everything will be mine in the end. I snatched these artifacts for him, so it won't be a debt to get them back in the future."
"Okay, so how are you going to do it?"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Tianjiao's voice came from outside. He glanced around, sneaked into the room, and whispered, "Sister, where is Pei Zichen?"
"Killed Shen Yuqing last night."
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke directly, and Ye Tianjiao was startled and asked with wide eyes: "What?"
"He's awake, but he doesn't want to leave the illusion and wants to keep us here. Yesterday, when I wanted to ask Shen Yuqing for the awakening pill, he killed me."
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke little but contained much information. Ye Tianjiao was so shocked that he couldn't utter a word. After a long pause, he finally said, "Then... what should we do now?"
"But I got the awakening pill."
Jiang Zhaoxue raised her hand and said calmly, "Now I have to feed this medicine to Song Wuya. After that, I'll confirm the next plan to get out. As for Pei Zichen—"
Jiang Zhaoxue pondered and said, "Let's just treat him as a villain for now. Do you have the Qi Concealing Talisman and the Teleportation Array?"
"have."
Ye Tianjiao nodded.
Jiang Zhaoxue stood up and led him outside, saying, "We can't trust anyone now. While Pei Zichen is still out, let's quickly take Song Wuya away."
Ye Tianjiao was silent for a moment. Jiang Zhaoxue looked up at him and asked, "What are you hesitating about?"
"nothing."
Ye Tianjiao gritted his teeth and said, "The real future is the future."
"He does have some wisdom."
Jiang Zhaoxue smiled, asked him for the Concealing Talisman, and began to prepare, "I'll cast an instant invincible magic circle to bring you to Song Wuya's room. But as soon as I cast the circle, Pei Zichen, Qian Sisi, and the others will immediately sense my spiritual power fluctuations and rush over. In a close combat, neither of us has a chance of winning. You must carry Song Wuya immediately while I cast the teleportation circle. We'll leave together, and then use the Concealing Talisman to hide for a while, giving me a chance to cast the second concealing formation."
"Don't you know how to open two formations at the same time?" Ye Tianjiao gestured upon hearing this, "The last time we killed Yin Zhulong..."
"It's a waste of original spirit." Jiang Zhaoxue glared at him. "If it's so easy, why don't I open it every day?"
"That makes sense..."
Ye Tianjiao laughed dryly.
Then he coughed lightly and said, "Okay, then go ahead. I'm ready."
Jiang Zhaoxue nodded and began to draw the formation.
When she was drawing the formation, Pei Zichen was buying what she wanted on the street. Sensing the fluctuation of spiritual power, Pei Zichen picked up the crispy pot cake, turned around and ran towards the inn!
It wasn't that difficult to deal with Pei Xueyi and the others. She didn't need to draw an overly complicated formation. With a few strokes, the Qiankun Lottery flipped over and said, "The way of heaven is unpredictable. We gamble our luck on heaven. Best of luck! Control the formation and seize the enemy. Go!"
The best fortune stick flew out, and Jiang Zhaoxue crushed it with one hand. A golden magic circle lit up under Ye Tianjiao and her feet, and the two of them instantly appeared in Song Wuya's room with the magic circle!
The moment the two appeared, all the people guarding Song Wuya were blown away at the same time. Ye Tianjiao picked up Song Wuya from the bed, and at the moment Pei Zichen broke the window, he hugged Song Wuya and jumped into the teleportation formation with Jiang Zhaoxue.
The three of them had just jumped into the teleportation formation when Jiang Zhaoxue slapped a concealing talisman on Song Wuya. Song Wuya coughed rapidly and struggled: "You...you..."
Before they could finish their words, the three of them fell into a forest.
As soon as they landed, Jiang Zhaoxue could immediately feel Pei Zichen's spiritual power approaching from afar. Ye Tianjiao shouted in surprise: "Spirit-seeking array!"
Good guy, this is tough.
Jiang Zhaoxue knew at a glance that Pei Zichen had given up chasing them at the first moment and activated the soul-seeking formation!
Although the spirit-seeking formation could not confirm their location, it could detect all fluctuations of spiritual power. As long as she dared to open the formation, such a large fluctuation of spiritual power would be immediately sensed by Pei Zichen.
But if she didn't open the formation to hide, she wouldn't be able to hold out for long with Ye Tianjiao's concealing talisman and Pei Xueyi and Qian Sisi's collection.
The magic power of a talisman has a peak value. It is strongest when it is first used and gradually declines over time.
Pei Zichen's method can be said to be the most effective one.
The idea was good, but unfortunately Pei Zichen was still far behind her in realm. Jiang Zhaoxue quickly opened the formation and watched Pei Zichen rushing towards them in the Soul Search Formation. At the last moment before Pei Zichen was about to reach them, Jiang Zhaoxue broke the lucky sign she had just shaken out!
As the jade sticks shattered, all the fluctuations in the aura and spiritual energy of the three of them disappeared, and the formation passed smoothly over them without any ripples, as if the three of them did not exist at all.
Even so, when it was over, Jiang Zhaoxue and Ye Tianjiao let out the foul breath they had been holding for a long time.
"I was scared to death."
Ye Tianjiao sat on the ground and patted his chest: "Pei Zichen is so fierce!"
"Fortunately, Shen Yuqing doesn't have that kind of brain..."
Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but feel relieved.
If Shen Yuqing had been able to do this before, how could she and Pei Zichen have escaped?
One of them beat his chest while the other calmed down. Only Song Wuya, who was missing half of his heart, reached out with a trembling hand to grab the medicine that had fallen on the ground, panting, "Medicine...medicine..."
"There's another one!"
Ye Tianjiao reacted immediately. Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoxue quickly picked up the medicine on the ground and put it in for Song Wuya.
Song Wuya took the medicine, his expression eased slightly, and he panted, "Two Immortal Masters..."
As he spoke, Jiang Zhaoxue immediately raised his hand and stuffed the awakening pill into his pocket.
As soon as the awakening pill entered, Song Wuya's face changed immediately. He raised his head and said coldly: "Give it to me..."
Before he finished speaking, Song Wuya was stunned. He seemed to see countless scenes flashing before his eyes. Ye Tianjiao glanced at him, then turned back to look at Jiang Zhaoxue: "Is he okay?"
"Jiang..." Song Wuya looked at Jiang Zhaoxue and murmured in disbelief, "Master Jiang?"
"Did you remember?" Jiang Zhaoxue observed his expression and slowly smiled.
Ye Tianjiao hurriedly said: "Third Prince, and me, Ye Tianjiao!"
"Ye Tianjiao?"
Song Wuya turned around and looked at the two of them. He was confused and uncertain. After a long while, he suddenly remembered: "Are we in the illusion of Lingxu Fan?!"
Ye Tianjiao immediately said: "That's right."
"What time is it?"
"The seventeenth year of Chongming."
"Seventeen years..." Song Wuya muttered, then realized, "Two years ago?"
"Yes, it was two years ago when we met. Now it's in Furong City in Shuzhong."
Jiang Zhaoxue reminded him, and Song Wuya had a headache, but he also obviously remembered slowly, and said: "The Lingxu Fan will be born soon..."
"So our only way to get out now is to get the Lingxu fan and destroy it?" Jiang Zhaoxue asked directly.
Song Wuya thought about it and nodded: "Yes."
"Where is it?"
"It's the secret realm left behind by Yin Zhulong," Song Wuya confirmed, "but it's dormant now, and we need another method to bring it to light."
"How?"
After asking this, Song Wuya paused. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "I'll take care of this matter."
Jiang Zhaoxue raised his eyes after hearing this.
Anan immediately asked, "What's wrong with him? How did he open the secret realm?"
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoxue smiled, "Then what do we need to do?"
"Open the secret realm of Yinzhulong." Song Wuya recalled, and then said, "Does Pei Zichen have a master seal that can open the secret realm?"
"yes."
Jiang Zhaoxue knew that Song Wuya even had memories of the secret realm. She looked at him coldly and continued, "And then?"
"You and he are Taoist companions, and you share destiny. As long as you take the blood from his brow and rub it on the master's seal, you can open the secret realm." Song Wuya said thoughtfully, "I will go and prepare first. After that, you can use the master's seal to open the Yinzhulong secret realm, and I will activate the Lingxu fan to appear in the world."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and stared at Song Wuya coldly.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Song Wuya asked in confusion, "Master Jiang?"
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoxue nodded, then thought for a moment and asked directly, "Is the Lingxu fan changing its owner?"
Song Wuya's movements froze slightly, and Jiang Zhaoxue grabbed his hair and the dagger was instantly against Song Wuya's neck.
Song Wuya's face showed shock: "Master Jiang?!"
"I urge you to tell me the truth," Jiang Zhaoxue said coldly, "You can't keep the Lingxu Fan, so don't die here in vain with no one to collect your body. Answer me, is the Lingxu Fan changing its owner?"
"It...it has never recognized its master." Song Wuya knew Jiang Zhaoxue was not joking, and there was nothing to hide. He swallowed and said, "In the beginning, it only agreed to be used by me, but it is waiting for the master it wants."
"Is this illusion its test?"
"Yes." Song Wuya panted, "The person he chooses, as long as he takes the initiative to destroy it and walk out, he can get her."
"What if someone else destroyed it?"
"The Lingxu Fan will end up in the hands of the person who destroyed it," Song Wuya continued. "But if that person is willing to return it to the person he chooses, even if the chosen one doesn't break through on their own, they can still recognize the owner through a drop of blood. If they can be chosen, it means they have a destiny, and as long as they can get out, they will be recognized."
"Understood."
Jiang Zhaoxue nodded, then asked, "How many days will it take, Your Highness?"
After a moment of silence, Song Wuya replied, "Two days."
Jiang Zhaoxue raised her eyes, and Song Wuya met her gaze: "One day to prepare, one day to act."
"good."
Jiang Zhaoxue put away the dagger, pushed him hard, and then said to Ye Tianjiao: "Beat him up."
"ah?"
Ye Tianjiao was shocked. Jiang Zhaoxue said calmly, "Fight! After the fight, the Third Prince will recover on his own. After all, he is half the owner of the Lingxu Fan. He still has to go to the secret realm later. He should have this ability, right?"
When Song Wuya heard this, his face turned pale, but he didn't say much.
Ye Tianjiao hesitated for a moment, coughed lightly, and said, "Um, Third Prince, am I taking action?"
"You dare?" Song Wuya turned around immediately.
Ye Tianjiao raised his eyebrows: "If you say so, I will dare."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tianjiao kicked him hard. Jiang Zhaoxue didn't bother to look at it any more. She turned around, listening to the punches and kicks behind her, thinking about how to get the leader's order from Pei Zichen.
After a while, Ye Tianjiao rushed back and said to Jiang Zhaoxue, "Sister, the fight is over."
"Um."
Jiang Zhaoxue stood up and said to Ye Tianjiao, "Let's go."
As she said this, she led Ye Tianjiao away. As she left, she turned her head to glance at Song Wuya, who lay dying on the ground, and said calmly, "Third Prince, someone like you should know how to get back safely. You don't need me to teach you, right?"
"Master Jiang..." Song Wuya said while panting while lying on the ground, "Don't worry."
"This is a sound transmission note."
Jiang Zhaoxue gave him a cold glance after releasing the talisman in her hand. After confirming that he was alright, she said calmly, "I'll wait for your news."
Jiang Zhaoxue walked away, and Ye Tianjiao followed her, asking curiously, "Sister, won't someone die if we fight like this?"
"Don't worry, although he is only half the owner of the Lingxu Fan, as long as he wakes up, he can use the power of the Lingxu Fan. He will not die here."
"I knew you had an idea."
Ye Tianjiao nodded, then he remembered: "Why beat him?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue glanced behind him in the direction of Song Wuya and said, "Although I'm not sure what happened exactly, you will thank me later."
"Huh? Why?"
Ye Tianjiao was puzzled. Jiang Zhaoxue said nothing and walked forward, "Let's go."
"Oh." Ye Tianjiao followed Jiang Zhaoxue for a while before realizing, "No, where are we going?"
"Let's find a place with good feng shui," Jiang Zhaoxue pondered, "and wait for Pei Zichen."
Jiang Zhaoxue said as he took Ye Tianjiao to calculate the direction. After swimming for a day, they found an abandoned warehouse.
It seemed like no one had been here for a long time. Jiang Zhaoxue calculated everything and was quite satisfied. Then he instructed Ye Tianjiao, "Come, help me set up the arrangement. Write me a thousand copies of the Fire Talisman, Earth Dragon Talisman, and Exorcism Spell."
"Three thousand?"
Ye Tianjiao was incredulous: "Why write three thousand?"
Normally, a cultivator only needs one type of talisman to control their opponent. Jiang Zhaoxue sighed and said with some envy, "A cultivator from the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Elemental systems can simply use talismans that mutually promote and restrain each other, but Pei Zichen's is from the Ice Elemental system. Ice Elemental systems must first use Fire Elemental systems to restrain Water, and then use Earth Elemental systems to restrain Water. It's like having two separate processes."
"What about exorcism?"
Ye Tianjiao was puzzled. Jiang Zhaoxue could not tell Pei Zichen that he was practicing the Nine Netherworld Realm techniques.
After all, if she said it out loud, she knew Pei Zichen was practicing the Nine Netherworld Realm technique and didn't care, it would seem like she supported this matter.
After all, he was an immortal from a real fairyland, so she really didn't support it. She could only do what Pei Zichen said and she didn't care.
If she really said it...she would have to show some attitude to stop it.
So she could only say: "The Yin energy here is too strong and needs to be suppressed, but the Feng Shui is good and suitable for setting up a formation."
"I understand." Ye Tianjiao nodded, then he couldn't figure it out, "But he's only a Nascent Soul, wouldn't it be like this if you and I were together?"
"Ordinary people can't do that. He is my natural enemy."
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke in a calm tone.
She hates this kind of Son of Heaven with great luck the most!
What's more, Nascent Soul?
Jiang Zhaoxue thought about the level of his Nine Netherworld Realm skills. He had just not reached the Heavenly Realm yet, so it would be no problem for him to kill a God Transformation Realm cultivator of a higher level.
But Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't tell Ye Tianjiao about this. She just dusted him off and said calmly, "Alright, start painting."
The two of them were busy and worked all day.
Ye Tianjiao’s hands were almost broken from writing before he finally covered the entire warehouse with posters.
Jiang Zhaoxue set up a large space formation. In this space, all directions are determined by her and she can move at will. At the same time, she set up many small mirrored spaces. The entire space seemed to be full of mirrors, making it impossible to guess her location.
After everything was set up, Jiang Zhaoxue and Ye Tianjiao sat on the long railing on the second floor, looking at everything together. Jiang Zhaoxue pondered, "Which excuse do you think would be best to trick them into coming here?"
"That you were in distress?"
Ye Tianjiao blurted out, and Jiang Zhaoxue frowned: "Can you say something auspicious?"
"We two magic cultivators, although we have strong magic power, are weak physically. Compared with ordinary people, we are still quite skilled, but serious sword cultivators and physical cultivators cannot compare with us. Anyone who comes along can easily pin us down and say that you were kidnapped by a great demon because you are too good-looking. That's the most appropriate way to say it."
"Okay..."
Jiang Zhaoxue pondered: "But according to his brain, he shouldn't be fooled, right?"
"That's not necessarily true."
Ye Tianjiao took out a sound transmission note and quickly sent Pei Zichen his location, writing only: "My sister is kidnapped, help her."
After sending it out, Ye Tianjiao pretended to be out of contact and no longer responded to any messages from Pei Zichen.
The two of them sat on the long railing, looking into the distance. After a moment of silence, Jiang Zhaoxue suddenly asked, "Do you want to know what will happen after you get out?"
"What?" Ye Tianjiao was curious.
Jiang Zhaoxue thought for a moment and said calmly, "When did you start to like Qian Sisi?"
Hearing this, Ye Tianjiao coughed lightly: "What's the matter?"
"No?" Jiang Zhaoxue smiled and reminded, "Don't be shy, you'll forget it when you get out anyway. Was it that time in the carriage..."
"Definitely not that time!"
Ye Tianjiao immediately said: "I was really angry that time, so I went back to cause trouble for her, and the result was..."
Ye Tianjiao said vaguely: "She asked me what I wanted, and I said she molested me, so she moved her face closer and forced me to kiss her..."
"Oh!" Jiang Zhaoxue understood, "You are moved."
"That... that's not what I call being moved." Ye Tianjiao pondered and said slowly, "I just noticed her. At first, I wanted to kick her out, but then... I gradually realized that she was a nice person. She always teased me and said some dirty talk. Although I didn't say it, I was still a little happy in my heart. I originally thought that she was attracted to me because of our Ye family's money, but she turned around and ran away."
Ye Tianjiao said, his expression gradually becoming serious: "When I enter the illusion and see her at sixteen or seventeen, I feel a little sad when I think about the future. I will accompany her. The more I accompany her, the more I will discover her good qualities."
"for example?"
Jiang Zhaoxue was curious. Ye Tianjiao thought for a moment and said seriously, "She's smart and hardworking. Now she has the support of her senior brother Pei Zichen, but if it weren't for Pei Zichen, she would be the most outstanding disciple in Wenjian Villa. She looks out of place, but she's a very kind person. During the four years you were in the secret realm, I followed her everywhere. Wherever she went, she did something good. Today she saved a child, tomorrow she saved a woman. She has no conscience at all. She often spent all her money saving people, and then she found that she had no money for drinking. She even asked me to borrow money and told me that she would return it even if she spent all her money."
Ye Tianjiao smiled, his expression dimming a bit: "She is so nice at this time, but I didn't meet her, and I have to forget about it when I go out."
"Then do you want to stay here?" Jiang Zhaoxue teased him.
Ye Tianjiao immediately became serious: "Of course not. This place is fake, and I know she's not doing well. So I'll take her out and show her the good of the real world."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and said casually, "Have you told her this?"
"I did." Ye Tianjiao sighed, "But if she can't understand, the illusion won't let her understand."
As soon as the words fell, all the runes in the room began to tremble. Ye Tianjiao's face changed and he hurriedly said, "Why are you here so fast?"
Jiang Zhaoxue was also stunned.
Pei Zichen is here? Such an obvious trap, and he actually came?
But she didn't have time to think about it, so she quickly suppressed her emotions and urged, "Hide quickly!"
As soon as Jiang Zhaoxue opened his mouth, Ye Tianjiao immediately rolled and crawled, hiding under a straw basket covered with runes.
Just as he covered himself, Pei Zichen blasted the door open with a sword, stepped on the soul-seeking formation, and rushed in!
The moment he rushed into the warehouse, ropes came from all directions.
Pei Zichen rushed into the formation like a dragon and shouted, "Madam? Ye Tianjiao?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue ignored her. She hid herself in the dark and began to draw a formation secretly.
It was just that she had just drawn the formation when the spiritual power fluctuated instantly. The soul-seeking formation was sensitive to it, and Pei Zichen's body was like an arrow shot from a bow, instantly resisting the fluctuation of spiritual power!
The moment he arrived, there was no one in sight. Pei Zichen then sensed the second direction and sent out a sword formation quickly. He then realized that this was the formation set up by Jiang Zhaoxue.
He stood in the center of the magic circle with his sword, using the sword formation to block the surroundings, and said calmly: "Madam, I don't want to hurt you."
"Call me Lady!"
Jiang Zhaoxue's voice came from all directions, and he rushed down the iron chain!
Pei Zichen's expression was slightly stern, and more than a dozen lightsabers turned around in an instant, spinning around him, and collided rapidly with the iron chains, making a continuous clanging sound.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of Jiang Zhaoxue, and said calmly, "Madam, although you are a senior, within this range, even if you set up the space and mirror array, you have no chance of winning against me."
"Really?" Jiang Zhaoxue laughed. Her figures were everywhere around her, each one moving through the corridor. "Let me see what you can do."
Pei Zichen didn't say anything. He raised his eyes and stared at his surroundings, observing the direction in which each rope flew out. He said calmly: "These of your bodies are all mirror arrays you set up. But the angles of the mirrors are all refracting light, so as long as we find the source of light at each angle..."
Pei Zichen said this while looking in the direction of Jiang Zhaoxue. Jiang Zhaoxue had just finished drawing the magic circle. Seeing him looking at her, she couldn't help but smile.
The two men's eyes met in the air, and Pei Zichen suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist!
The sword seemed to bring with it raging waves, the surrounding iron chains shattered into pieces, countless mirrors suddenly exploded, Pei Zichen broke through layers of space and instantly arrived in front of Jiang Zhaoxue!
The wide sleeves held the mirror, the sword reflected the beauty. Even with such an astonishing speed, his jade pendant was always with him and the pearls on his hair crown were not at all out of place.
The Qiankun Sign in Jiang Zhaoxue's hand was spinning rapidly. She smiled as she watched him coming towards her.
Pei Zichen sensed something was wrong, but it was too late. Flames rose from beneath his feet, and then an earth dragon madly covered him. Pei Zichen's flying sword slashed around frantically, unaware that the magic circle beneath his feet lit up. Then he heard Jiang Zhaoxue shout, "Bundle!"
In an instant, ropes from the eight directions of the magic circle under his feet surged up at the same time, trapping his limbs, neck, and waist, and suddenly pulling him up to his knees on the ground!
The sword was snatched away by a chain and flung towards Jiang Zhaoxue. Jiang Zhaoxue grabbed his sword, sat down, squinted at him, and said with a smile: "Do you think that a fate master who can live to my level can be killed by a brat like you?"
Pei Zichen panted softly and looked up at her.
Jiang Zhaoxue slowly stood up, walked in front of him, and said with a smile: "Let Master's Wife teach you a lesson. The target you want most is often the bait given to you by others. Do you think I'm really so stupid that I don't know that the mirror can calculate the true direction? I know, I just let you calculate, and the time you calculate is the time I will activate the formation."
As she spoke, she raised her hand to hold his chin, and with her other hand, she lifted his sword and pointed it at his brow. Her smile remained unchanged, but her eyes were exceptionally cold as she commanded, "Give me the seal of the leader."
"You want to open a secret realm."
Pei Zichen spoke firmly, staring at Jiang Zhaoxue: "What do you want to do? Revenge for Shen Yuqing?"
"revenge?"
Jiang Zhaoxue laughed when she heard this. She leaned forward slightly and said, "This is an illusion, Zichen, are you still not awake?"
Pei Zichen's eyes moved slightly, and Jiang Zhaoxue said gently: "How could I possibly seek revenge for an illusion? The person you killed wasn't real, everything was fake."
"But you are real."
Pei Zichen's eyes were filled with fear, and he said stubbornly: "You are my wife, this is true."
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at him with pity. After a long while, she said, "This is also fake."
Pei Zichen remained silent, trembling slightly. Jiang Zhaoxue said gently, "I know you can't accept it, but it doesn't matter. Just give me the Sect Leader's Order and I'll take you out."
"You lied to me for the Sect Leader's Order?" Pei Zichen said hoarsely, realizing what was happening. "You discovered it last night, right?"
"That's right."
Jiang Zhaoxue saw that he would not give it, so she stabbed the sword into his forehead bit by bit.
Things like the leader's seal are in the sea of consciousness, so it would be troublesome for others to get it.
Unfortunately, she was very familiar with Pei Zichen's sea of consciousness.
The relationship between them is intricately linked. She and he have a soul-locking formation. She is his master and he is her artifact.
She is his fortune teller and his sword servant.
even……
Here, she is his wife.
They had entered his sea of consciousness countless times during their spiritual intercourse. He had given his sea of consciousness to her without reservation, so that she could now dig into it freely and accurately with her sword.
He trembled slightly in pain, but still refused to hand over the seal of the leader. Jiang Zhaoxue watched coldly, holding the hilt of the sword tightly and stabbing it in inch by inch.
Pei Zichen looked at her cold eyes and continued to ask breathlessly: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"What?"
"You want to leave, you want to leave." Pei Zichen gasped in pain and raised his head and said, "You want to open the Yinzhulong Secret Realm, why are you so sure that I can't open it? Why didn't you tell me? Are you lying to me like this?!"
"Because I know who you are."
Jiang Zhaoxue accurately dug out the Sect Leader's Order. She paused slightly, looked up at Pei Zichen, and said calmly, "You won't let me go."
"Who am I?" Pei Zichen laughed as he listened, looking at her with eyes filled with moisture. "Who do you think I am?"
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything.
At that moment, she thought about many things: the seventeen-year-old Pei Zichen who would rather die than be cleared of his name; the twenty-one-year-old Pei Zichen who held her hand when she was blind; the Pei Zichen who always appeared before her at the first opportunity, letting her know that his servants would always be by his side; the Pei Zichen who changed a canal for an anthill...
But in the end, she was still frozen at the moment before her death in the book.
The sword gently pried the corner of the Sect Leader's order, and Pei Zichen trembled with pain. Even though her movements were precise, the pain of having her sea of consciousness pierced was still unbearable for ordinary people.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at his pale face and said calmly, "I once thought you might be a gentleman, but now, I think that forcing others to stay in the illusion for your own selfish reasons is selfish and unscrupulous. You are very smart. If you are not a kind person," the leader's order slowly emerged from his forehead, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, "it will be a disaster."
Jiang Zhaoxue pressed down with his sword, and Pei Zichen gasped for breath as the Sect Leader's Order emerged from his forehead. Jiang Zhaoxue raised her hand and grasped the Order, which was stained with blood from his brow. She turned around and said, "Wait for me here."
"So these four years!" Pei Zichen called her out, "Am I the only one who forced this?"
Jiang Zhaoxue paused, listening to the question from behind him: "In these four years, you haven't been moved, you haven't cared about me, you haven't liked me, you haven't even had a moment of thought about being with me for a long time, right?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue remained silent. Pei Zichen couldn't help but say, "I can let you go..."
"No."
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke, and Pei Zichen was stunned.
Then he saw Jiang Zhaoxue looking back. He rarely saw her like this.
Jiang Zhaoxue was always laughing and joking. Except for the time when she saved him from the cliff, she hardly looked divine at all. It was hard to imagine that she was a deity worshipped in the human world.
But when he looked back, he saw alienation and nobility in her, as if she was separated from him by thousands of years and thousands of miles, high above him, looking down upon all living beings.
She said calmly, "This is an illusion. You are mentally unstable. If you remember even a little bit of human ethics, you would know how I could possibly be attracted to you."
Pei Zichen was stunned, his heart seemed to be squeezed tightly, and his breath was filled with the sharp pain of ice chips entering his throat.
He stared at her blankly as she said calmly, "You and I are of different ages and social statuses. Although I don't follow dogma and love to joke, I'm definitely not without rules. I'm the Queen of Penglai." Jiang Zhaoxue lowered her eyelashes, not knowing whether to convince him or herself, "I will never abandon Penglai for a moment of love. Pei Zichen, I know this calamity is difficult for you to overcome. I will help you break through this state. Just wait patiently."
"help me?"
Pei Zichen looked at her and wanted to laugh: "Why are you helping me?"
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything, but Pei Zichen understood: "You pity me? Pity me enough to marry me, marry me..."
Pei Zichen couldn't continue, but he understood.
She just wanted to leave here, just because she felt that this was an illusion and she would forget it once she got out.
He could say a lot, a lot about her actions and the possibility that she loved him.
But he couldn't say it.
He was afraid that harsh words would hurt her.
Afraid that words too mean would insult her.
He just looked at her quietly, his eyes full of pleading.
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't dare look at him. Suppressing all the waves in her heart, she turned around and said, "Wait."
As she spoke, she walked out. After taking two steps, she heard his resigned voice: "Master's Wife."
Jiang Zhaoxue stopped again, and Pei Zichen said tiredly: "Take me with you. It's too dangerous without anyone around you."
Jiang Zhaoxue remained silent. She turned her back to him. After a long moment, she said, "I won't believe a single word you say right now."
As she spoke, she stepped out and shouted, "Tianjiao!"
Pei Zichen listened, raised his eyes, and saw Ye Tianjiao climb out of the basket. He looked at him bewilderedly and apologized, "I'm sorry, brother. You're in too much danger right now. I have to follow me to get out. I'm going to apologize to you when I get out!"
Pei Zichen remained silent. He watched Ye Tianjiao follow Jiang Zhaoxue out. He closed his eyes and relaxed.
After a moment, he took a deep breath.
It doesn’t matter whether you love or not, care or even hate.
But nothing could happen to her.
Pei Zichen shattered the sea of consciousness in his mind and began to figure out the magic circle left by Jiang Zhaoxue.
Yuan Luo, who had just been awakened, took a deep breath when he saw the dense runes and magic circles around him.
"I told you not to touch beautiful women," Yuan Luo said angrily, "You're courting death!!"
*** ***
While Pei Zichen was desperately trying to break her magic circle, Jiang Zhaoxue brought Ye Tianjiao and immediately rushed to Emei Ruins with the leader's order.
It was already midnight when they arrived at Emei Ruins. Jiang Zhaoxue immediately sent a message to Song Wuya, saying calmly, "I've already brought the Sect Leader's Order to Emei Ruins. What are you going to do..."
"What are you doing?!"
Before Jiang Zhaoxue finished speaking, she looked up and saw Qian Sisi standing beside her.
When Qian Sisi saw the leader's order in Jiang Zhaoxue's hand, her face instantly turned cold. Without saying a word, she ran straight to Jiang Zhaoxue!
Jiang Zhaoxue quickly retreated with his strength and agility talismans. Ye Tianjiao stopped Qian Sisi at the same time and said anxiously, "Sisi, this is an illusion. We need to get you out..."
"This is not an illusion!"
Qian Sisi kicked Ye Tianjiao away and slashed wildly at Jiang Zhaoxue, shouting angrily, "Give me the Sect Leader's Order, Senior Brother!"
"Sisi!"
Ye Tianjiao threw out the talisman to stop Qian Sisi, while Jiang Zhaoxue dodged her while setting up the formation.
Qian Sisi noticed Jiang Zhaoxue's movements, and the sword's momentum was getting faster and faster. She couldn't help but have a bright red color in her eyes, and shouted angrily: "Give it to me!"
Seeing the red eyes, Jiang Zhaoxue's expression froze. He instantly raised his hand and pulled, saying anxiously: "The laws of nature are unpredictable. Bet on your luck in heaven. Bind your soul and body—go!"
The jade stick flew down, Qian Sisi chopped it down with a sword, and Jiang Zhaoxue blocked it with the jade stick.
The sword chopped the jade stick into pieces, and a huge force seemed to come down from the sky, instantly pressing Qian Sisi to her knees with a "clang". Then vines came from all directions and tied her up tightly in an instant.
"How come you sword cultivators all think you can kill me in close combat?"
Jiang Zhaoxue quickly distanced herself from Qian Sisi and said with some disdain, "I've been hunted for two hundred years. How dare I show up in front of you without any escape skills?"
"Jiang Zhaoxue," Qian Sisi stared at her intently, "Don't open the Yinzhulong Secret Realm."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened to Qian Sisi calling out her correct name. She looked at Qian Sisi calmly and said firmly, "You're awake."
"Don't open it..." Qian Sisi begged, "Jiang Zhaoxue, you and I are friends..."
“It’s already opened.”
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke calmly, and Qian Sisi was stunned.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at her with some pity and told her the truth: "Two years ago, the Yinzhulong Secret Realm was opened, and the Lingxu Fan was born there. All your fellow disciples are dead."
Qian Sisi's tears welled up unconsciously when she heard these words, but she seemed unaware of them and only said, "But they are alive now?"
"This is an illusion."
"This is your illusion!" Qian Sisi shouted, "This is my reality."
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned by what he said. Ye Tianjiao reacted and said quickly, "Sisi, fake is fake."
"It can come true!" Qian Sisi said loudly, "As long as they survive today, as long as the Yinzhulong Secret Realm is never opened, it will become true! Don't open it, you don't know what Song Wuya will do, don't..."
Before she could finish her words, the ground began to shake, and a familiar murderous aura surged. Jiang Zhaoxue instantly realized that something was wrong. When she turned around, she saw the spiritual power of Furong City suddenly explode, and then the resentful aura rose into the sky. Evil laughter exploded in an instant, enveloping the entire Furong City.
"What's this?!"
Ye Tianjiao blurted out, Qian Sisi looked in shock at the evil spirit that quickly gathered and began to cover the sky, and heard people screaming from afar.
Evil spirits continued to fly out of Furong City. Jiang Zhaoxue uttered in shock, "Grudge..."
A rapidly growing evil spirit!
Jiang Zhaoxue had never seen a resentful evil spirit grow so quickly. She looked at the sky in shock, watching the immortal distress signals rising into the sky one after another, and then saw the resentment forming a ghost face in the air, looking towards the direction of Emei Ruins with a smile.
"Open the secret realm of Yinzhulong!" Song Wuya's voice rang out urgently, shouting, "Hurry!"
"What did you do?"
Jiang Zhaoxue said in disbelief. Song Wuya was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "This is an illusion."
This is everything that has already happened. Whether Jiang Zhaoxue opens the door or not has no impact on reality.
However, Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but yell, "Where did this evil spirit come from?!"
"He raised it."
Qian Sisi gasped and struggled, as if she wanted to tear Song Wuya apart. She angrily said, "It's two hundred thousand people! He raised these evil spirits with the two hundred thousand sacrifices from Furong City!"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue and Ye Tianjiao were both stunned.
Jiang Zhaoxue quickly looked at Ye Tianjiao: "How did he do it? How could he kill 200,000 people in such a short time?"
Ye Tianjiao listened, his hands trembling slightly. He didn't dare to speak. Jiang Zhaoxue shouted, "Speak!"
"He and I..." Ye Tianjiao realized something and began to tremble. "I asked for the talisman."
Jiang Zhaoxue opened his eyes wide instantly. Even though he knew it was an illusion, it had been four years after all.
Who dares to say that every blade of grass and every tree here is just an illusion?
Ye Tianjiao looked up fearfully, tears in his eyes: "Sister..."
"This is an illusion." Jiang Zhaoxue knew she couldn't lose her composure when she saw his tears. She turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye. She said calmly, "These are all dead. Your talisman has nothing to do with them."
Ye Tianjiao knew it and wanted to agree.
But he has lived there for four years, and even today in broad daylight, he was still drinking in Furong City.
Two hundred thousand people...
They both forced themselves not to think too much, watching the resentment gathering in the air above. Then the resentful demon slowly opened its eyes and smiled greedily. Her voice echoed throughout Shu: "Since you have requested, I will grant your wish."
After saying this, it rushed towards the Emei Ruins. The ancient bell of the Shuzhong Immortal Dao rang loudly. Wang Xuanzhi's Dharma image broke through the heaven and earth, and he shouted urgently: "The great calamity of Shuzhong has arrived. Disciples of Shuzhong, follow me to Emei Ruins to defeat the demon!"
"Open the Yin Zhulong Secret Realm!" Song Wuya shouted again, "Jiang Zhaoxue, don't hesitate. What happened cannot be changed!"
"don't want!"
The ground around them shook violently. Qian Sisi begged Jiang Zhaoxue and began to kowtow frantically, "Don't open it... I was wrong, Jiang Zhaoxue... I was wrong once, don't let me make the same mistake a second time. Let them live, please..."
"What did you do wrong?"
Ye Tianjiao listened, then rushed to Qian Sisi, held her down and said, "You don't need to kowtow. This has nothing to do with you. Song Wuya was the one who killed him!"
"I killed him!"
Qian Sisi yelled loudly, but Ye Tianjiao didn’t understand: “How could it be…”
"I'm the one who inherited the secret realm," Qian Sisi said tremblingly as she looked at Ye Tianjiao, "I was supposed to... stop the catastrophe in Shu, but I met Song Wuya..."
As she spoke, tears fell.
Ye Tianjiao stared at Qian Sisi blankly. She was shaking all over as she thought about the past: "I... I saved him to repay a favor, but he was injured and dying because of me. I like him... I... I opened the Yin Zhulong Secret Realm."
The person who was in Pei Zichen's position back then was Qian Sisi.
Jiang Zhaoxue understood in an instant, and she looked at Qian Sisi with pity.
The high-spirited eldest sister of Wenjian Villa, the favored one who killed Yin Zhulong with the sword of Emei Ruins and inherited the secret realm.
The disciple who was supposed to stop the catastrophe in Shu and was coveted and expected fell in love with someone and out of guilt, so in order to save Song Wuya, he sent him to a secret realm to heal his wounds.
But who is Song Wuya?
The prince who was trained in the palace struggle was accused of being a fake dragon, his mother was killed, he was burdened with a deep blood feud, he was being pressed step by step, and he was on the verge of death at any time. How could a person like him let go as long as he saw a glimmer of hope?
"He lied to me," Qian Sisi said painfully. "He learned from me about the existence of the Lingxu Fan and that it was a divine artifact. He even thought it could turn him into a true dragon and bring prosperity to the Great Xia nation. Then he tricked me into marriage, tricked me into becoming a Taoist couple with him, and stole my Sect Leader's Order, saying he was going down the mountain to take care of some trivial matters..."
Qian Sisi paused, holding her breath for a long moment before she trembled, "But once he left... he never came back. The southwestern border defenses were breached, three cities were slaughtered, and the people of Shu were devastated, with wandering ghosts everywhere. No one thought it was him at the time, until the vengeful demon from Furong City appeared, and the immortals realized—he had deliberately indulged in those massacres."
Qian Sisi raised her head and smiled. "He used the lives of the people in the first two cities to raise that vengeful demon. In the end, he sacrificed the entire Furong City in the name of slaughter, and completely raised a monster. Then, he used the leader's order to open the Yinzhulong secret realm. After the power of the vengeful demon entered the secret realm, it nourished the Lingxu fan, and the Lingxu fan was able to appear in the world."
"This..." Ye Tianjiao listened and tried to comfort him, "You didn't kill him..."
"It's me."
Qian Sisi looked at Ye Tianjiao and laughed while crying: "I am the owner of the Lingxu fan, the power of the resentful evil spirit... will enter my body."
Ye Tianjiao was stunned. Jiang Zhaoxue looked at her with pity. Qian Sisi tried to smile, but couldn't hold it back. Tears fell heavily. She said in a trembling voice, "I can't control myself. I'm unconscious... When I wake up... When I wake up... The Immortal Path of Shu..."
That’s all.
She slaughtered the entire Shu by herself. When she woke up, there were corpses all over the ground and she herself was exhausted.
She looked at her master, Zhuang Wen, and Sun Xin...
The closer the person is to her, the more wounds they have on their body, the closer they are to her.
Because they tried to wake her up until the last moment.
Couldn't bear to hurt her.
"At this time, Song Wuya came."
Qian Sisi smiled, raised her chained hand, and gently touched her forehead.
"He used his sword to penetrate my sea of consciousness and cut out the Lingxu fan. It hurt so much."
Jiang Zhaoxue's fingertips trembled, and Ye Tianjiao's eyes widened in anger as he listened to Qian Sisi's description: "I will never forget the pain of the sword piercing my sea of consciousness. He destroyed my sea of consciousness, ruining my life's efforts, and then told me that everything was his plan. He heard I had a divine weapon, and he planned to save me, love me, treat me well, and then destroy me."
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at her silently, his heartstrings tightening.
Qian Sisi laughed mockingly, "He hired this vengeful spirit to retrieve the Lingxu Fan for him. He knew it was an evil creature, but he also knew the Shuzhong Immortal Dao would stop at nothing to kill it. So he waited for us both to suffer losses so he could reap the benefits. He used the defeat and the massacre of the city to cover up the fact that he sacrificed the people, and used the hatred of the people and the Lingxu Fan for revenge to achieve his military exploits in the southwest. Then he returned to the capital and transformed himself into a virtuous prince, even tricking you into changing his fate. Does he deserve it?"
Qian Sisi laughed loudly: "A man like him is worthy of being a monarch? Bah! He deserves to die!"
"You're right."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and said calmly, "He deserves to die."
"Then you..." Qian Sisi's eyes lit up.
Jiang Zhaoxue raised his hand and issued the Sect Leader's Order, saying calmly, "You should go and kill him in reality, not dream about it here."
Hearing this, Qian Sisi was stunned. A moment later, she saw Jiang Zhaoxue pouring spiritual power into the master's seal. The barrier of the Yinzhulong Secret Realm was instantly shattered, and the dense forest covered the entire Emei Ruins in an instant. The resentful demon was ecstatic!
In an instant, the ground shook and trembled. After Qian Sisi was surprised for a moment, she suddenly reacted and cut off the rope of the formation that she had been secretly breaking in an instant. She flew out of the secret realm on her sword!
"Sisi!"
Ye Tianjiao instantly used a flying talisman to catch up with Qian Sisi. Jiang Zhaoxue followed closely behind and sent a message to Song Wuya at the same time: "Why is she looking for the Lingxu fan?"
"We will leave if we encounter the Lingxu Fan. Once she encounters the Lingxu Fan, she can use it. Her power will not be limited here." Song Wuya said immediately after hearing this, "As long as she kills Yuansha here, her wish will come true and the illusion will become a reality!"
"You are such thieves!"
Jiang Zhaoxue gritted his teeth and chased Qian Sisi all the way to the depths of the secret realm. He saw a big tree from a distance, and then felt a powerful spiritual power spreading out.
Seeing this, Qian Sisi rushed down quickly. Jiang Zhaoxue kept his distance and set up his formation: "The laws of nature are unpredictable. Bet on your luck in heaven and you will have great fortune..."
Before Jiang Zhaoxue could finish her words, she saw a man in red clothes flying towards Lingxu like an arrow!
Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes widened instantly, and he shouted, "Kill Pei Xueyi!"
The moment the voice fell, Zhongping's fortune slips flew out, and thunder descended from the sky. Pei Xueyi dodged without even touching the fan, and at the same time forced Qian Sisi back with a sword. Ye Tianjiao instantly twisted the talisman to block Qian Sisi and said seriously, "Sisi, let's go out. I'll help you kill him. Don't dwell on this."
Qian Sisi looked at Ye Tianjiao coldly and said through gritted teeth, "Get lost!"
Ye Tianjiao's eyes trembled slightly, but he said seriously: "Sisi, I will take you to see the real world."
"Get out of here!"
Qian Sisi slashed down with a sword, and the talisman in Ye Tianjiao's hand instantly lit up.
Ye Tianjiao stopped Qian Sisi, while Jiang Zhaoxue stared at Pei Xueyi, who was being chased by the thunder. He quickly formed a formation with his hands and opened it again before the first thunder ended: "Kill Pei Xueyi!"
Pei Xueyi dodged the thunder quickly and swooped down towards Jiang Zhaoxue. The two groups fought fiercely and the sky was in chaos.
Jiang Zhaoxue stared at Pei Xueyi in front of him, who was obviously not an ordinary disciple, and realized that something was wrong.
Why did Pei Xueyi want to steal the Lingxu fan?
In other words, why was Pei Xueyi so goal-oriented and desperate to find a location to grab the Lingxu fan as soon as possible like them?
He was not the person in the illusion, Jiang Zhaoxue confirmed it in an instant.
When they first met, bits and pieces of memories came to mind, and Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but feel puzzled.
The one who got along with her at the beginning and was blushed by her while eating plum cakes, was it Pei Xueyi or Yin Zhulong?
"What are you thinking about?"
Pei Xueyi suddenly attacked, and Jiang Zhaoxue once again sent down thunder and quickly retreated away.
Pei Xueyi came too quickly, and she didn't have time to activate the large formation. Without the large formation, the small gambling formation could not kill him at all.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at her coldly. Thunder struck him several times. Although he was injured, his face became more and more excited.
Jiang Zhaoxue had a hunch that something was wrong and asked directly, "Who are you?"
"Have you forgotten me?"
Pei Xueyi rushed forward again, and Jiang Zhaoxue quickly stepped back. Then he smiled and said, "But I think you should remember her?"
As soon as the voice fell, Pei Xueyi instantly raised his hand and pressed it to the ground, shouting: "Silla Yi!"
Hearing this name, Ye Tianjiao and Qian Sisi looked over together. Black gas rose from the ground into the sky, and then turned into a black dragon flying towards Jiang Zhaoxue!
This black dragon comes fast, too fast!
Jiang Zhaoxue had no time to react at all. She just stared blankly at the black dragon rushing out. At the same time, her heart trembled, and the life servant contract suddenly shook. The space behind her shook violently, and a hand broke through the air from behind her, pulled her up suddenly, protected her in his arms, and drew his sword with his backhand. With a loud "clang", Xinluoyi hit the sword hard, and Jiang Zhaoxue fell heavily into Pei Zichen's arms.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and spun around, protecting her behind him. In an instant, Jiang Zhaoxue quickly opened the formation again, and the thunder roared down, hitting Silla Yi in perfect coordination.
Pei Zichen was retreating quickly with Jiang Zhaoxue in his arms, and Xinluoyi also quickly retreated in front of "Pei Xueyi". When the two sides stopped, Jiang Zhaoxue was holding a seal in her hands and was protected in Pei Zichen's arms. Pei Zichen held the sword horizontally to block in front. Opposite "Pei Xueyi" in red clothes was holding a fan, and Xinluoyi in red clothes was holding an umbrella, standing in front of them.
The two sides faced each other in silence. Pei Zichen seemed to have come too hastily, his breathing completely unstable. Jiang Zhaoxue stiffly sensed the warmth of the person behind him. After a moment, he saw "Pei Xueyi" tilt his head and smile, saying, "Oh, I thought you couldn't come."
"Song Wulan."
Jiang Zhaoxue reacted, and Pei Xueyi's eyes lit up with joy, and her tone was particularly lingering: "I didn't expect that Master Jiang still remembered me."
"Remember."
Jiang Zhaoxue recalled the life-or-death fight and couldn't help but say, "I've never seen anyone harder to kill than you. Who the hell are you?"
"I?"
Song Wulan touched his lips with his small fan and smiled slightly: "It's fate."
The moment the sound fell, Xinluoyi suddenly jumped up and turned into a ball of black gas and rushed straight towards him. Pei Zichen swung out the sword formation and slashed towards Xinluoyi!
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at Pei Zichen suspiciously, and was not sure of Pei Zichen's purpose for coming.
It would have been fine if Pei Zichen hadn't come. Once he came, the situation became complicated instantly. Jiang Zhaoxue not only had to pay attention to Qian Sisi, Pei Xueyi and Xin Luoyi, but also had Pei Zichen come along!
It’s impossible to guard against it, it’s impossible to guard against it!
The more Jiang Zhaoxue thought about it, the angrier he became, gritting his teeth.
But now there is no way at all. Only Pei Zichen can suppress Xinluoyi. Qian Sisi is barely held back by Ye Tianjiao, but Ye Tianjiao is also beaten black and blue by her.
The people around her were held back, so she and Song Wulan, the two fortune tellers, could officially start the battle.
But they probably all knew each other's strength, and they used several formations in a row to eliminate each other with equal strength.
Ye Tianjiao had been stepped into a crevice by Qian Sisi. Qian Sisi ran wildly towards the Lingxu fan. When she was about to get the Lingxu fan, a huge force suddenly hit her and pulled her back!
Qian Sisi flipped in the air and saw Song Wuya rushing over, blocking in front of her, and calmly ordered Ye Tianjiao: "Ye Tianjiao, go get the Lingxu fan!"
Ye Tianjiao immediately crawled out with a swollen face. Seeing this, Song Wulan threw the copper coin, and thunder came down with a loud bang, knocking Ye Tianjiao away again.
From that moment on, the surroundings became a complete mess.
No one could tell friend from foe, and they would just push away anyone who touched the Lingxu fan.
Song Wulan directly set up a barrier around the Lingxu Fan, and Jiang Zhaoxue reinforced it again, so that no one could touch the Lingxu Fan. The two sides fought fiercely, and as their spiritual power was depleted, Jiang Zhaoxue knew clearly that there was no point in continuing this stalemate.
After a little thought, she came up with an idea and started to move closer to Song Wulan every time she opened the formation.
Song Wu Lan didn't care. A fortune teller approaching would not cause any harm, so no one cared about her approaching.
Until the last moment——
When Jiang Zhaoxue was less than half a foot away from Song Wu Lan, the moment Song Wu Lan opened the formation again, she suddenly grabbed a large piece of stone and smashed it hard at Song Wu Lan's head!
Even though she’s not lucky in gambling, she still knows a little bit about fighting!
Song Wu Lan was knocked to the ground by the stone. Jiang Zhaoxue hurried forward, pressed his head and wanted to continue hitting him!
Seeing this, Xinluoyi rushed forward, and Pei Zichen forced him back with a sword. He glared and shouted: "Get out!"
Jiang Zhaoxue pressed his head and smashed his brains out with stones one by one.
Song Wu Lan finally reacted, pushed her over, held down her hand holding the stone, and punched her in the face.
The two fortune tellers wrestled with each other on the ground, punching each other in the face and kicking each other in the ass. You pinched my neck and I pulled your hair. The fight was so shameless that it was hard to separate.
The three parties fought in a fierce battle.
Seeing the resentful evil spirit above piercing through Zhuang Wen, who was covered in blood and falling from the sky, Qian Sisi finally burst out a cry and rushed straight up to meet the tip of Song Wuya's sword!
At that moment, Song Wuya actually put away his sword.
Even he didn't expect it!
The moment he put away his sword, Qian Sisi pounced towards Lingxushan. Jiang Zhaoxue turned around and saw her in shock, shouting, "Ye Tianjiao!"
However, Ye Tianjiao could no longer get up. No one stopped her, no one could stop her.
As long as she gets the Lingxu fan, she can kill Yuansha, her wish will come true, and all of them will stay here!
Jiang Zhaoxue watched in horror as Qian Sisi snatched the Lingxu fan, turned around and fanned it towards the sky. At that moment, an arrow broke through the air and with a "ding" sound, it shattered the Lingxu fan in Qian Sisi's hand!
The Lingxu fan shattered like a mirror. Jiang Zhaoxue realized something and turned around in shock. She was surprised to see Pei Zichen standing under the moonlight, covered in blood, holding a longbow in his hand, his long hair dancing lightly with the fragments of shimmering space, reflecting his handsome and cold face, as if it was a gorgeous dream stained with blood and the bright moon, mixed with wind and snow, standing not far away.
"Master had two plans for dealing with the great calamity in Shu," he said calmly, looking at Qian Sisi. "One was to order me to prevent the Lingxu Fan from being born. The other was that he had already found a Feng Shui treasured site for the resting of souls. If any of his disciples were to die, he would have you take the Lingxu Fan to find their souls, send them into reincarnation, and then rebuild Wenjian Villa."
Hearing this, Qian Sisi smiled bitterly and said hoarsely, "But I don't know where they are. Master didn't have time to tell me..."
"Yicheng Jinbao Pavilion."
Pei Zichen spoke and Qian Sisi opened her eyes wide.
Cracks gradually appeared around him, and Ye Tianjiao immediately said, "Sisi, I'll take you to find them!"
Qian Sisi turned around and saw Ye Tianjiao standing up. He said anxiously, "Go to reality. I'll go with you to find it!"
Qian Sisi stared at Ye Tianjiao in a daze, unable to speak. Song Wulan and Xinluoyi exchanged a glance, then instantly turned into black air, slipped into the crack, and disappeared.
Jiang Zhaoxue's heart was in turmoil, and she looked at Pei Zichen in disbelief.
How could he break the illusion on his own initiative?
He is so deeply involved, how can he bear to give up this illusion?
How could a man like him, who would do anything to achieve his goal, let her go?
As soon as she thought about it, Pei Zichen seemed to sense her thoughts and turned to look at her.
His clear, purplish-black eyes suppressed countless emotions, and the edges of his eyes slowly cracked. In the end, he only said, "Four years ago, I didn't intend to keep you here forever."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and couldn't believe it at all.
Pei Zichen laughed: "I don't know what you think of me in your heart, but I lied to you only for these four years. A gentleman loves others in a proper way. Even if I am not a gentleman, I will never put my desires above yours in my life. I just thought you liked me."
His voice was still wet, and a hint of bitterness appeared in his eyes as he emphasized his explanation: "I thought."
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't dare to speak. Her heart began to beat rapidly. She looked at the bloodstain on his forehead, and a faint pain trembled deep in her heart.
She didn't dare to make a sound or speak, she just watched Pei Zichen looking at her, just like the past four years, with a gentle and persistent gaze.
"Yaoyao," he said hoarsely, with a hint of expectation and begging, "Tell me you love me once, and give me a happy ending to this illusion."
Jiang Zhaoxue's lips trembled slightly, not daring to speak. The space around them shattered. He knew what she meant. He stared at her quietly and whispered, "Don't be afraid. You'll forget everything."
"I..." Jiang Zhaoxue spoke tremblingly. She thought she was just lying to him.
She comforted him and gave him a happy ending as he said.
"I like you."
When these words came out, Pei Zichen's eyes trembled slightly. He seemed to be satisfied and slowly smiled.
"I heard it, Yaoyao."
As he spoke, the surroundings trembled violently, and everything seemed to shatter as if a mirror was shattering. A sudden feeling of weightlessness came over him. He looked at her greedily, and murmured unwillingly: "Goodbye... Master's Wife."
Goodbye, she will just be his master's wife.
Hearing this farewell, Jiang Zhaoxue completely lost control and subconsciously pulled forward, shouting: "Pei Zichen!"
However, everything was like golden quicksand, drifting past her, and she instantly fell into endless darkness.
I will forget.
She watched the light in front of her eyes slowly disappear, her heart tightening, yet she felt somewhat relieved.
She would quickly write down everything she needed to do on a piece of paper and hold it tightly in her hand.
Will forget it.
She thought.
So she began to indulge herself, letting this illusion pass by like a kaleidoscope. At the last moment, he was kneeling on one knee in front of her, looking up at her.
"I want Ah Xue to love me like I love you."
On the other side, Pei Zichen watched the light in front of him gradually brighten. He looked around in a daze and gradually saw a figure walking towards him from a distance.
He was wearing blue clothes and a jade crown, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking suave and unruly.
"I really didn't expect that," the other party chuckled. "You were able to break through on your own. I spent four years creating this illusion, and you didn't even want to stay from the beginning to the end?"
"Lingxu Fan?"
Pei Zichen stopped and raised his eyes.
Lingxu Shan heard the words and raised his hand to salute: "Lingxu Shan, I meet the master."

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Although I'm a mage, I'm also a bit skilled in fighting. If he can't handle me from a distance, I'll just use a huge rock to hit him!!"
【Small Theater 2】
Jiang Zhaoxue: "You and I are very different in age and status. I am the Queen of Penglai. I will never abandon Penglai for a momentary love."
Jiang Zhaoxue's meaning was, "My father's condition is unclear, and you might kill me and destroy Penglai in the future. The Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion is eyeing us covetously. My family has money but no ability, which is too dangerous. I must quickly advance to the Ninth Realm of Life Master to protect my family. I will definitely not delay things for a relationship. I can't like you. I have to dissect you. Sorry."
Pei Zichen heard: "You are too young and immature. I am your master's wife, so my status is not right. I am the Queen of Penglai, and I will never damage Penglai's reputation by having a relationship. From the moment I became your master's wife, there is no hope for the two of us."
Pei Zichen's final thought: "Kill Master and serve Master's Wife until she becomes a widow. This way I can preserve Penglai's reputation and be with Master's Wife forever!"
Yuan Luogong: "Serve? How do you plan to serve?"
Pei Zichen: "I will serve you the same way I served you in the illusion."
