There is no blue cloud under the blue sky (5)
"Among you are disciples of noble families, as well as common people. We are all the same, so why do you always think you are superior? Zheng Hai, when you bully the weak and act arrogantly, have you ever considered that the Zheng family has also received divine power and has a mission to fulfill? Where do you put the gods when you enjoy yourself?"
Zheng Hai pulled the rope around his neck tightly, his eyes full of pleading, and he could only make a whimpering sound.
"You're a scum, and you don't want to atone for what you've done. How dare you question me? You're pretending to be so righteous, aren't you disgusted?" the woman in white glared at him with disgust and scolded him. She waved her left hand, and the bell on her wrist jingled, and the rope around Zheng Hai shifted, tightening even more.
"Please... I have no grudge against you, I... I am innocent!" Zheng Hai struggled and spoke intermittently.
"No grudges or hatred?" the woman asked back, looking at him with eyes that seemed to be filled with poison.
"Do you still remember someone named Xie Xue?"
Zheng Hai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then frowned and said, "I don't know this person. Please let me go. I'm timid and have never hurt anyone. At most, I'm just a little arrogant. You must have found the wrong person. I..."
The rope cut through his arm, and blood gushed out. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he could only shake his head and shout for help.
The disciples below turned their heads away, not daring to look at the bloody scene. Some of the timid ones fainted from fright.
The woman in white clenched the bell in her hand and continued to question: "Xie Xue, the first person who disappeared, don't you remember?"
Hearing the name, He Shuyu beside him moved his eyelids and looked at the woman in white.
"You took advantage of my sister's cowardly character and forced her to use secret techniques for your amusement. As a result, you attracted a spirit and caused my sister to die tragically. How could you forget this?" Xie Yi growled with red eyes.
But her anger only made Zheng Hai more confused.
"I...I really don't know anyone named Xie Xue." He had a sad face and kept begging for mercy.
How could he not recognize her? Zheng Hai vividly remembered the scene of the woman crawling towards him, covered in blood.
He was…what happened to him? In his hazy memory, he fled in panic.
But he still cried and shook his head, crying out of breath: "I really don't know her, you must have found the wrong person!"
Xie Yi clenched the bell in his hand tighter and tighter, until it was almost broken.
Zheng Hai remembered that Xie Xue always followed Lou Yao, always timid and timid, not like someone from the Xie family at all. Hearing that Xie Xue's blood had miraculous effects, he immediately had the idea of playing a prank.
Who would have thought that the legend was true, that the secret technique really summoned a demon? He was only concerned with escaping at the time, so who would care about Xie Xue's life or death? Moreover, he had bullied so many people, how could he possibly remember everyone's name?
In a critical situation, a normal person would first save his own life. He never thought he was wrong.
Moreover, in such a passive situation, he must not give in and must deny it to the end.
So he shook his head and refused to admit it.
Lou Ze looked at Xie Yi and said softly, "I can give you the opportunity to deal with him, or even kill him on the spot. It's your decision."
Xie Yi closed his eyes and tried to calm his anger.
Zheng Hai was arrogant and domineering, and never took the lives of the weak seriously. In his eyes, Xie Xue was no different from the other people he had harmed. His momentary impulse cost her sister her life.
It's impossible to let such a person die like this.
Xie Yi wiped the tears from his eyes and turned to look at He Shuyu: "I know you are in charge of the case of Jinxiantai, so you naturally know about what happened in Lixiangyuan some time ago."
He Shuyu frowned: "Why are you telling me this?"
"As an insider, you should understand the strangeness of this case. I don't know if anything has been discovered, but Jinxiantai has kept it secret in order to maintain the so-called balance among the aristocratic families. However, after you get out, don't put the blame on the Xie family." Xie Yi said.
The Zheng family has become increasingly powerful in recent years, which has made everyone very wary. This is why Zheng Hai dares to be so arrogant. The Xie family has been declining in population due to blood relations and has become increasingly weak. If it were not for the protection of the power of the gods, it would have collapsed long ago in this world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak.
Xie Yi wanted to kill Zheng Hai and take all the blame on himself.
but……
He Shuyu looked at Lou Ze and said directly, "You don't plan to kill me?"
Lou Ze said nothing, his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone in the hall with a strange smile: "Supreme divine power can be a gift from God, or it can be a destined curse."
These words were spoken to He Shuyu, but she closed her eyes and pretended not to hear.
Lou Ze chuckled a few more times, and the bell in the white-clothed woman's hand rang. Zheng Hai was tied up into a bloody ball with ropes and left with the two people.
Zheng Hai struggled, leaving streaks of blood on the marble floor. At the same time, his screams, each one more tragic than the last, irritated everyone's ears. No one dared to look up, for fear that they would become the next Zheng Hai.
The palace door snapped shut, blocking out the eerie screams. The palace fell into darkness once again, this time even quieter than before.
At this moment, He Shuyu placed his hand on the sword at his waist.
The major families that were able to stay on the floating island were more or less survivors of the great changes that happened a hundred years ago, and the survivors of that war all received the gift of divine power. Among them, the four major families and the four major organizations received the most divine power.
The He family is among them.
The divine power inherited by the He family is the long-lost Space Creation Technique in the Immortal Sect. Thirty years ago, a mass loss of ancient books occurred in the Immortal Sect, and half of the He family's Space Creation Technique was lost. This disappearance is related to that lost half of the Space Creation Technique.
He Shuyu took the initiative to join the game, but was discovered by Lou Ze just now. His words just now were a warning, warning her not to act rashly, otherwise she would bear the consequences.
And at the moment the door closed, a talisman appeared in He Shuyu's hand. It was a pass to leave the underground palace, and it came with Lou Ze's words.
"Your courage is commendable, little girl, but we are in the same boat. Your brother and I have reached an agreement to plan this great event together. You must not interfere. Take this talisman and you can get out. Once you get out, you will see your brother. You are a smart person and you know what to do."
He Shuyu clenched the talisman in his hand and turned away.
Lou Ze did not lie to her, the talisman did send her out.
In an unknown alley on Loufu Street, a man in purple stood with his back to He Shuyu.
He is tall and well-proportioned. The dull color of dark purple does not make him look old, but makes him look more noble.
He Kongzhi turned around, his narrow eyes swept across He Shuyu's face, and finally stopped on the burning talisman paper in her hand.
Her brother was gentle and kind to others, but he was indifferent to her and could be said to have ignored her.
It was a surprise that she was rescued this time.
"Now that you're out, go home first. Your mother misses you." He Kongzhi raised a gentle smile and said to He Shuyu.
She gripped the sword at her waist and sneered, "When did you make this deal with the Lou family without telling my parents, or even me?"
Before he could finish his words, Li Cijian had already pressed against He Kongzhi's neck.
She knew very well that He Kongzhi could not beat her. Over the years, the He family had only produced one sword genius, and all the others could not even reach the threshold of swordsmanship.
He Kongzhi's face was not at all flustered, and his eyes were full of indulgence towards her, as if he regarded her actions as a child's trick.
He Shuyu hated this kind of look the most in his life. He said sternly, "If you don't explain this matter clearly today, I will show no mercy!"
He Kongzhi smiled slightly, stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on the back of her hand. An indescribable feeling of stagnation surged from deep within her meridians, wave after wave, each one more violent than the last.
To make matters worse, He Shuyu's vision began to distort, and she couldn't help but yell angrily, "You used space magic to plot against me!"
Although He Kongzhi had no talent for swordsmanship, he was quite accomplished in space magic, and He Shuyu didn't know how to do that. She could only watch as He Kongzhi carried her up and walked into the dark space passage.

Under the crystal chandelier, Xu Xing propped up his head, his eyes softly gazing at the person in his arms. Huge snowflakes drifted across the palace, rustling and dyeing the hair of both of them white.
From a distance, it looks eerie and beautiful.
Xu Xing wiped away the snowflakes that had fallen on her eyebrows, inserted his fingers into the girl's hair, and held the golden hairpin that was about to slip off. His pale fingertips slid across the golden hairpin, to the loose hair on her forehead, and then to the black mole between her eyebrows.
After a while, she opened her eyes.
"What... is going on?" Li Zhaoyue rubbed her eyes, feeling as if she were suspended in mid-air. When she regained consciousness and looked down and forward, she froze.
"Ayue?" Xu Xing called her.
Li Zhaoyue straightened his upper body and responded in a panic.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xing asked her.
"No...it's okay, put me down first." She held Xu Xing's shoulders with both hands and stuttered.
Xu Xing smiled and let the person go as she wished.
Li Zhaoyue hurriedly turned her attention to the hall. It looked different from what it was before she fainted. There was no ice coffin wrapped in crystals, no woman who looked exactly like her. It was just an empty hall.
Seeing the confusion on her face, Xu Xing said, "There's a mist in this hall, mixed with a drug that can induce hallucinations. What you just saw was all an illusion."
Li Zhaoyue felt dizzy, but subconsciously felt that Xu Xing was wrong. How could such a real feeling be achieved solely through □□ powder?
It seemed like there was something extra in her mind, making her perception sharper than before.
Li Zhaoyue was very frightened by this change and said in a panic, "A lot of things happened before you woke up. Time is running out now. I don't want to say more to you. Listen to me and...get out first..."
"What's wrong?" Xu Xing asked.
Li Zhaoyue hurriedly shook his head and changed the subject, "How are we going to get out?"
"Come with me," Xu Xing said, and was about to hold her hand, but Li Zhaoyue dodged. His eyes darkened, but he still had a smile on his face and walked forward as if nothing had happened.
Li Zhaoyue had just woken up and her body was still a little out of control. She just took a step forward and then threw herself forward with her soft body, just in time to hug Xu Xing's waist.
He felt as if his lifeline was grabbed, his body trembled violently, and he subconsciously pinched Li Zhaoyue's wrist.
She cried out in pain, and Xu Xing quickly let go of her hand, turning around to help her up. He had used too much force, leaving two noticeable red marks on her wrists.
The red color brought out some different emotions in Xu Xing's eyes.
"Come on, I'll carry you." He squatted with his back to Li Zhaoyue and said.
