Chapter 76 Chapter 76 This person seems familiar
"As expected of someone who has practiced the Nine Netherworld techniques, he's so perceptive."
Mu Jinyue praised with a smile, and with a pinch of her fingers, Pei Zichen's lightsaber outside the light shield shattered instantly.
Pei Zichen's expression was cold, but Mu Jinyue's face was remarkably relaxed. She simply said, "But don't worry, Senior Brother. I mean no harm. It's just that my spiritual roots can't cultivate, and I happened to need the Time Mirror, so I'm seeking another path. Senior Brother and I are no different."
"Do you dare to say that the demon cultivator who helped me get the tracing mirror on the day I fell off the cliff had nothing to do with you?" Pei Zichen asked sharply.
Mu Jinyue blinked, as if puzzled. "Brother, that's a strange question. How would I know about the demon cultivator who helped you?"
Pei Zichen didn't say anything, just stared at her.
Mu Jinyue knew he didn't believe her, so she sighed, "Brother, it's fine if you don't believe me. Anyway, as long as you know, we are friends, not enemies. I just want to help you."
"help me?"
Pei Zichen sneered: "What are you going to do for me?"
"Of course, I'm helping my senior brother obtain the God-Slaying Sword and save the True Immortal Realm from disaster."
"Don't you have any selfish motives?" Pei Zichen asked in a cold tone. Mu Jinyue chuckled.
"My selfish motive..." Mu Jinyue smiled and thought for a moment, then raised her eyes. "Isn't it the same as my senior brother's?"
Pei Zichen's expression was slightly stern, but Mu Jinyue didn't care. She casually said, "The True Immortal Realm won't keep demonic cultivators from the Nine Netherworld. If you still want to stay with Jiang Zhaoxue, you should keep this secret with me. When you obtain the God-Slaying Sword and sweep across the three realms in the future, I will go with you," Mu Jinyue raised her eyes and smiled, "and take Master and Madam back to the Nine Netherworld."
"Are you from the Nine Netherworld?"
Hearing the word "return", Pei Zichen frowned.
Mu Jinyue didn't respond directly. Her expression relaxed as she said, "Brother, if you practice the Nine Netherworld techniques, you are a member of the Nine Netherworld. If you want to become a god, you can't practice both immortal and demonic cultivation for your entire life. Sooner or later, you'll have to make a choice. You can't stay."
Mu Jinyue turned around and said, "Pei Shulan, I was knocked unconscious. I'll go back first and say that I was knocked unconscious after you left. I'll blame it all on Jiuyoujing."
"I won't go to the Nine Netherworld."
Pei Zichen suddenly spoke, and Mu Jinyue paused.
She turned her back to him, and after a long moment, she sneered, "Brother, if you don't go to the Nine Netherworld Realm, Master's Wife may not stay with you. Master said," Mu Jinyue looked back at him, her words tinged with mockery, "that once we obtain the God-Slaying Sword and this journey is over, he will ask the Book of Destiny and Grandmaster Gu Jun to find a way to abolish the Life Servant Contract between you and Master's Wife, hand over the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion to you, formally sign the Life Servant Contract with Master's Wife, and take her into retirement."
Every word Mu Jinyue said pierced Pei Zichen's heart. Pei Zichen stared at her and said, "Master's wife will leave Lingjian Immortal Pavilion."
This made Mu Jinyue raise an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"
Pei Zichen didn't dare to speak. Mu Jinyue walked up to him, leaned forward slightly, and whispered, "Brother, a woman's body is more honest than anything else. If she cares about you even a little bit," Mu Jinyue leaned close to his ear and asked softly, "How come you are still a Yuan Yang body?"
"presumptuous!"
Pei Zichen shouted loudly upon hearing this, and the lightsabers around him instantly appeared. Mu Jinyue pointed her toes, raised her hand and spun, and the lightsabers clanged and broke in front of Mu Jinyue's purple round shield.
Only a lightsaber stained with Pei Zichen's blood broke through the formation and cut Mu Jinyue's cheek in front of her terrified eyes.
The moment Mu Jinyue was struck by the blood sword, she instantly fled without a trace, only sending him a message: "If you need help, feel free to come to me. Tell Jiang Zhaoxue to place a tracking device on me in five days. Give me a chance to be caught, and then we can track down the God-Slaying Sword. Don't let anyone else know about this, otherwise my brother and I will be doomed."
The moment the voice fell, Pei Zichen immediately realized that someone was chasing him from behind. He didn't have time to care about Mu Jinyue anymore. He just grabbed the cloak and mask and put them on instantly. When the other party approached, he turned around and stabbed with a sword!
Jiang Zhaoxue came down from the sky on a crane, startling Pei Zichen so much that he quickly put away his sword. Jiang Zhaoxue jumped down from the crane and pressed her palm on his shoulder. Pei Zichen quickly held her in his arms, but she pushed him down and knocked him onto a tree in the distance.
She covered his mouth and hid behind a tree. The Mountain and River Bell opened instantly, and then she felt Shen Yuqing's presence coming!
All this happened very quickly. Before Pei Zichen could react, Jiang Zhaoxue had already covered his mouth and pressed him against the tree.
Jiang Zhaoxue had obviously come in a hurry, leaning against his arms, breathing softly. Pei Zichen heard Shen Yuqing arrive behind him, one hand still lightly on her waist.
He felt the person in his arms. He had rarely been so close to her in reality. When they really touched at this moment, he realized that whether it was an illusion or a dream, it was different from reality.
Her real body was so hot, completely different from the feeling in the dream that was conjured by her spiritual consciousness.
His heartbeat couldn't help but quicken, and he involuntarily put his arm around her waist and tightened it a little.
Jiang Zhaoxue noticed his movements and froze.
Pei Zichen instantly became nervous and wanted to let go, but seeing that the other party was only stunned for a moment, he lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The two of them remained silent in this position, listening to Shen Yuqing's brief search, and then immediately followed Jiang Zhaoxue's crane in the direction he was heading.
After Shen Yuqing left, Jiang Zhaoxue did not retreat immediately, so Pei Zichen lowered his eyes and looked quietly at the pearl flowers on her head.
Jiang Zhaoxue stood in his arms, thinking about the current situation.
Just when she passed Pei Zichen in the sky, she discovered the man in the forest.
Standing far away, she couldn't see clearly and couldn't tell whether the person was Pei Zichen or the demon cultivator from the Nine Nether Realm. But when she got closer, seeing his posture of running in the forest, she recognized it as Pei Zichen at a glance.
She saw that he was staggering and knew that he was injured.
Shen Yuqing's sword wound was difficult to heal, so she had to buy him some time and left in the opposite direction.
Shen Yuqing realized that she didn't keep up with him and cut off the induction of the marriage contract, so he hurriedly chased after her, but he didn't expect that Pei Zichen actually started fighting with someone.
The first time she sensed the action, she wanted to go over and check it out, but Shen Yuqing kept chasing her, so she didn't dare say anything.
The second time Shen Yuqing turned around and stopped chasing her, and went to find Pei Zichen instead, she had no choice but to come over first and hide him.
But now that she had hidden the person, she felt a little at a loss.
Now that Pei Zichen was in disguise, she shouldn't have recognized that this demon cultivator from the Ninth Netherworld Realm was herself.
Then if she didn't recognize him, why would she save a demon cultivator in the Ninth Netherworld Realm?
Pei Zichen obviously thought the same thing, and he boldly hugged her, quietly waiting for her answer.
She hesitated for a long time, pretended to be calm and stepped out of Pei Zichen's arms, raised her head and smiled: "Senior, we meet again."
Pei Zichen paused and realized in an instant that Jiang Zhaoxue had mistaken him for someone else.
He felt a little sad, but also relieved.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhaoxue didn't see his appearance as a demon cultivator, which made him feel a little relieved.
Seeing that he remained silent, Jiang Zhaoxue knew that he had accepted the outcome. She raised her hand and saluted, saying, "Thank you for your help today, Senior. My Taoist partner and I have a deep blood feud with the Nine Netherworld Realm. I was impulsive at the moment, so I hope you can forgive me."
Pei Zichen paused when he heard the word "Daoist companion", raised his eyes to look at her, his expression faded a little.
Jiang Zhaoxue sensed his displeasure and knew he had said the wrong thing. After thinking for a moment, he coughed lightly, condensed a magical light in his hand, raised his eyes and said, "If you don't mind, I will heal you."
These words made Pei Zichen hesitate, but Jiang Zhaoxue had already stretched out her hand.
The Dharma light fell on Pei Zichen's shoulder, and Pei Zichen felt a warmth coming from his shoulder, covering his whole body.
He raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. He had never met her as an equal before, nor had he ever seen her behave so gently.
He quietly felt the warmth of her spiritual power. When the wound was completely healed, Jiang Zhaoxue stepped back and said with a smile, "Senior, the wound has healed. I will take my leave first."
Having said that, Jiang Zhaoxue turned around and was about to leave, but Pei Zichen immediately followed her.
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned for a moment, then realized that Pei Zichen would never let her go back alone, so she asked tentatively, "Do you want to take me to a safe place?"
Pei Zichen nodded, and Jiang Zhaoxue nodded and thanked him, "Thank you very much."
Jiang Zhaoxue turned around and walked forward. Without thinking too much, she immediately took out the sound transmission jade token and started looking for Shen Yuqing: "Shen Yuqing?"
However, there was no movement from the sound transmission jade token. Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned and had a bad feeling.
Jiang Zhaoxue immediately sensed it and found that when his spiritual power and divine consciousness extended out, he could no longer sense anything within ten miles.
They seemed to be put in a box.
Jiang Zhaoxue understood immediately. It must be because Pei Zichen broke the rules and came to find them, causing the formation to be triggered. Now the valley should be divided into different spatial areas. Just now, Shen Yuqing was in the same space with her and she did not sense it, but now Shen Yuqing must have gone to the other side.
Jiang Zhaoxue had some doubts in her heart, and subconsciously made a gesture, trying to break the isolation spell of her marriage contract to sense Shen Yuqing. Seeing this, Pei Zichen grabbed her.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked up in confusion and saw Pei Zichen raising his hand and pointing forward.
The Nine Netherworld Realm technique draws its power from the heavens and the earth, and is more sensitive to "perception". Pei Zichen must have sensed something.
She felt carefully and found that there was spiritual power vibrating rhythmically not far away.
Jiang Zhaoxue knew it was Shen Yuqing immediately.
She immediately stood up and walked forward: "Let's go."
Pei Zichen followed behind her without saying a word.
The two walked silently through the woods ahead. After a while, Jiang Zhaoxue felt something was wrong. He looked up at a tree and frowned, saying, "We just walked past this place."
Pei Zichen observed for a moment, then drew his sword and slashed forward.
The sword instantly cut open a hole, and the moment the hole opened, the life-eating beasts rushed out like a flood. Jiang Zhaoxue was shocked and stepped back. Pei Zichen grabbed her, and the lightsaber rushed over at the same time.
Jiang Zhaoxue watched as the lightsaber forced the life-eating beast back, carving out a path. Jiang Zhaoxue's hands were covered in cold sweat. Pei Zichen glanced at her, patted her hand, and held her hand as they walked forward.
Jiang Zhaoxue forced herself to stay calm and move forward. Pei Zichen held her gently. The moment they stepped into the darkness, a black and purple film extended all the way forward, blocking all the life-eating beasts outside the film.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and it seemed as if there were only the two of them in the whole world. The life-eating beasts swooped down one after another and smashed into the film, and the lightsabers were like a torrential rain.
Jiang Zhaoxue was pulled by this man, as if walking on a long corridor. The sword rain around her was like a waterfall and the blood was like a river. The young man was wearing a long gown, and his hands were like white jade with a little warmth, holding her gently.
Her heart was completely at peace, and she was no longer afraid. She couldn't help but look at Pei Zichen's back, as if she had seen him before.
Anan couldn't help but let out a soft "ah".
"What are you saying?" Jiang Zhaoxue asked curiously.
Anan stared at Pei Zichen's back, muttering, "I... I think I've seen him..."
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything, she knew what Anan meant.
Although Anan was sleeping in the gap of time and space, she had seen that senior.
In this situation, Pei Zichen at this moment is so much like that person.
It's not surprising that Anan might have been influenced by her.
But she also knew that this was probably a deviation in her memory. In fact, she was still blind during that section of the road and had never seen the person pulling her forward. How could he be similar to Pei Zichen?
She looked at Pei Zichen quietly, and when they reached the end of the road, Pei Zichen turned sideways to look at her.
Not far away was the barrier film that Shen Yuqing had split open.
This is the gap between spaces. Once Shen Yuqing completely splits the barrier, this space will collapse and no one will be able to stay. This is why Shen Yuqing dare not take action.
Pei Zichen looked at her silently for a moment, and finally let her go. He reminded her in a deliberately changed voice: "Mu Jinyue has a problem, this dagger is for you."
He raised his hand and slashed his palm with a dagger, sealing a sword technique inside, and handed it to Jiang Zhaoxue: "If she is against you, you can use this to break the situation."
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned and took the dagger in confusion.
She knew that Mu Jinyue had problems, but why did Pei Zichen give her this dagger stained with his blood?
"She said that after five days, we can place a tracking device on her, giving her a chance to be caught and walk alone, so that she can find the God-Slaying Sword. This matter must not be known to Shen Yuqing."
Pei Zichen spoke briefly and to the point. He didn't dare say that this was what he said because he couldn't be sure of the authenticity of Mu Jinyue's words. He could only take it as information and leave it to Jiang Zhaoxue to judge.
Jiang Zhaoxue nodded upon hearing this and said, "Senior, do you have any other instructions?"
Pei Zichen didn't say anything, he just looked at her quietly.
Seeing that he was speechless, Jiang Zhaoxue nodded and said softly, "Since everything is fine, then we'll meet again if fate allows."
Having said that, Jiang Zhaoxue turned and walked forward.
However, just as she turned around, Pei Zichen finally couldn't help himself and raised his hand to grab her.
Jiang Zhaoxue turned around in surprise, and saw the young man kissing her in the face!
A kiss as light as a dragonfly touching the water, Jiang Zhaoxue opened her eyes in shock, the barrier beside her suddenly shattered, and Pei Zichen raised his hand and pushed it.
The moment Jiang Zhaoxue fell backwards, Shen Yuqing grabbed her from the waist and quickly retreated from the space that was about to collapse.
Daylight suddenly appeared.
As soon as Shen Yuqing landed with her in his arms, he hurriedly checked her pulse and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue stood up uncomfortably and said quickly, "I...I'm fine."
When Shen Yuqing looked up after being pushed by her, he saw Jiang Zhaoxue's face flushed and obviously evasive. He couldn't help but be stunned.
Pei Shulan and Mu Jinyue rushed over to the side. Pei Shulan asked anxiously, "Master Jiang, are you okay?"
Jiang Zhaoxue heard this and looked around, only to find that this was a temple. Ming was standing in front of the temple door, looking at them quietly.
"Where is this?"
Jiang Zhaoxue asked in confusion.
Mu Jinyue came forward, helped Jiang Zhaoxue up and said, "Master's wife, please get up first."
Jiang Zhaoxue stood up with the help of Mu Jinyue, but Shen Yuqing seemed to be still thinking about something.
Jiang Zhaoxue ignored him and turned to look at Mu Jinyue, asking, "Why are you here?"
As she spoke, she pretended not to know Pei Zichen's situation and asked doubtfully, "Where is Pei Zichen?"
"He went to see you," Mu Jinyue asked curiously, "Didn't you see him?"
"I……"
Before he finished speaking, he felt a surge of spiritual energy around him. Then he saw Pei Zichen, dressed in a blue robe embroidered with cranes, breaking through the barrier and entering. After landing, he looked up at everyone. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately saluted Jiang Zhaoxue and Shen Yuqing: "Master's Wife, Master."
"Wow," Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but whisper to Anan, "What great acting."
"where have you been?"
Seeing him acting out, Jiang Zhaoxue quickly joined in: "Why aren't you with your junior sister, Madam Pei?"
"Just now, I sensed that Master's Wife was in danger, so I rushed over."
Pei Zichen spoke half-truthfully, and Shen Yuqing slowly came back to his senses. He sheathed his sword and stood up. Standing beside Jiang Zhaoxue, he looked at Pei Zichen and listened to his explanation. "But as soon as I saw Master and Mistress, I felt a vibration in spiritual energy. Then Master and Mistress disappeared. I was stuck in the same place for a long time before I realized something was wrong and finally forced my way through space and came here."
"I see……"
"You are deserting your post." Shen Yuqing said coldly, "It is your responsibility to protect your junior sister and Madam Pei on this trip..."
"Alright, alright."
When Jiang Zhaoxue heard him scolding her, she immediately said, "It's already happened. There's no point in you saying more."
"I told him to..."
"I will do the same next time."
Pei Zichen interrupted the two of them, and everyone looked over to see Pei Zichen calmly say, "This disciple is Master's wife's servant. For this disciple, nothing is more important than Master's wife's life."
Shen Yuqing listened, his expression cold. Pei Zichen raised his eyes and said without a second thought, "Master, whatever task I assign to you, I will complete on the premise that Master's wife is safe."
"Alright, alright."
Jiang Zhaoxue thought that another quarrel would break out when she heard this, so she quickly persuaded him, "Let's take a look at the situation and discuss what to do."
As he spoke, Jiang Zhaoxue raised his hand and pushed Shen Yuqing: "Go, go, go, don't block the door."
Shen Yuqing seemed to be holding his breath. He was pushed in by Jiang Zhaoxue. Ming was already sitting by the fire cooking porridge.
Seeing everyone coming in, he said calmly: "I thought you planned to quarrel until tomorrow."
"How could that be?" Jiang Zhaoxue walked into the hall with a smile. She came over to Ming and watched him cook porridge. Seeing the ginger and minced meat porridge, she couldn't help but ask, "You like ginger and minced meat porridge too?"
Ming didn't say anything. Pei Zichen glanced at him. Jiang Zhaoxue said casually, "Zichen likes to eat it too."
Ming paused and glanced at Pei Zichen.
Everyone came into the room, Shen Yuqing sat next to Jiang Zhaoxue, and Pei Zichen could only sit as far away from Jiang Zhaoxue as per the rules.
But the farthest position, surrounding the campfire, was right opposite Jiang Zhaoxue.
He clearly saw Jiang Zhaoxue and Shen Yuqing sitting together. Jiang Zhaoxue was still chatting with Ming. Although Ming looked impatient, he answered every question.
After everyone sat down, Jiang Zhaoxue glanced back and asked Shen Yuqing, "What's the situation now?"
"Just now, after we separated, I followed your aura, but it was cut off in a forest. After chasing for a while, I found myself trapped in a space. I forced my way through the space and came to this temple. I used spiritual vibration to send a message to everyone here. After that, I felt Jinyue coming over first, broke the space for her, and brought her, Madam Pei, to the temple. Then I felt you coming over."
Shen Yuqing said, as if restraining something: "I noticed that you paused, and there seemed to be someone around you. I was afraid that someone was holding you hostage, so I forcibly broke the space barrier and wanted to rescue you."
"Understood."
Jiang Zhaoxue nodded, noticing that there was one person missing from Shen Yuqing's description. She turned to look at Ming beside her: "What about you? How did you get here?"
"After you left, I went looking for you and found this temple. After that, I couldn't get out anymore."
Ming said this, stirring the porridge in the pot casually.
Jiang Zhaoxue understood: "In other words, this is the origin now. No matter where we go from, we will eventually return to this position?"
"You could say that."
Shen Yuqing spoke, obviously having tried it before.
Jiang Zhaoxue felt the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy and found that this place was like a box. When he touched the edge, his spiritual sense could not feel anything.
She remained silent, and Pei Shulan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She asked curiously, "Master Jiang, what should we do now? Are we unable to get out?"
"How come?"
Jiang Zhaoxue smiled and said thoughtfully, "As long as it's a formation, there must be a way to break it."
"Looking for the center of the formation?" Shen Yuqing pondered.
Jiang Zhaoxue shook her head, thinking about something as she spoke slowly, "If it were an ordinary formation, the natural focus would be to find the center. However, this place is near the Abyss, a treasure land formed naturally by heaven and earth. The God-Slaying Sword is hidden by the Abyss. A special flow of spiritual energy naturally forms around it. For a formation formed by the natural forces of heaven and earth, finding the center is extremely difficult."
"Then what should we do?" Mu Jinyue became nervous.
Jiang Zhaoxue tapped his knee lightly and continued, "So, we shouldn't be looking for the center of the formation... What we should be looking for is..."
Jiang Zhaoxue raised the corner of his mouth: "It's Tianyuan."
"Tianyuan?" Shen Yuqing frowned when he heard it. "How can we find it?"
The God-Slaying Sword is hidden in the Tianyuan Holy Pool. If it can be found directly, why would we need to go through all this trouble?
"Tianyuan is a Feng Shui treasure land. It can be found by using the Feng Shui dragon-hunting formation."
"But it's hidden by the formation beneath our feet," Shen Yuqing pointed out, not understanding. "If we can't break the formation beneath our feet, how can we find Tianyuan?"
"That's because the magic circle hidden under our feet is stronger than the dragon-seeking formation. If our dragon-seeking formation is stronger than the maze under our feet, then the dragon-seeking formation can guide us to find Tianyuan."
"How is this possible?" Shen Yuqing was still puzzled. "The formation under my feet is using the power of heaven and earth..."
"What if I use this?"
Jiang Zhaoxue raised his hand, and a glass lamp appeared in his hand.
The bottom of the lamp is a golden plate, on top of which two dragons are intertwined, holding a bead together. It is covered with a glass lampshade, which looks exquisite and beautiful.
The moment Shen Yuqing saw the lamp, he was stunned. Jiang Zhaoxue looked at him with a smile: "If I had this thing, I would gamble with the heavens again. What do you think my chances of winning are?"

The author has something to say: In order not to keep you waiting in vain, I will tell you about the writing progress in each chapter and estimate the update time for the next chapter.
The next chapter should be updated tomorrow.
PS: Although Pei Zichen did a lot in his dream, he is actually still in the Yuanyang body, so Old Shen always thinks that there is no problem.
Today I sorted out the plot later and saw the future of Xiao Pei and Xue Xue. The tough girl shed tears. I know there are some problems with the rhythm of this article. I update a little slowly, but I really beg you to read it even if you skip it. You must read the last volume TT
【Small Theater】
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Senior, my Taoist partner hurt you..."
Pei Zichen: "Humph!"
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Oh, my ex-husband hurt you..."
Pei Zichen: "Humph!"
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Shen Yuqing, the head of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, injured you..."
Pei Zichen: "Do you think the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion is really great, and that he is particularly impressive as the Pavilion Master?"
Jiang Zhaoxue: "..."
Pei Zichen: "Think about it again?"
Jiang Zhaoxue: "That Shen Yuqing who was passing by hurt you."
Pei Zichen: "Yes!! It's that passerby!!!"
Shen Yuqing: "...I'm sick."

Author: "I beg you to read the last volume on my knees"
Reader: “Write it down first.”
Author: It’s over. I’ll kneel down and never get up again.

Pei Zichen: "I'm so sad. Master and his wife are husband and wife, so why do they have to be so nice to any random guy they meet on the street?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue: "No, he is not a wild man."
Pei Zichen: "Then who is he?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue: "He is you without the soul-locking formation and without the barriers of identity."
Pei Zichen (shocked)
Jiang Zhaoxue: "If one day we meet unexpectedly without having met before, that's what it's like. Liking someone is definitely physiological. Even if you can't recognize them or know who they are, as long as you meet and interact with them, as long as the timing is right, you can immediately add them on WeChat and start chatting late at night."
Pei Zichen (blushing)
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Why aren't you talking?"
Pei Zichen: "I've coaxed you into it."
