Chapter 98 Silence
Before Bu Qingjue could even turn around and see who was behind him, he and Xie Zhoujian were teleported to the entrance of Jingge.
"Could it be..." Bu Qingjue's tone was grave: "...in Jingge..."
Now only Yan Shiqun and Wen Tianyu remain.
His mind was in complete chaos; the sight of Ruan Linglai's death was making it hard for him to breathe.
Jie held his wrist tightly during the day.
Bu Qingjue miscalculated one thing: he always felt that he didn't have any feelings for NPCs.
But now his stomach is aching.
"Hurry!" After his ears started ringing, Bu Qingjue forced himself to start walking: "Go back and check on things!"
At least one person can be saved...
The sounds of fighting could be heard coming from inside.
Bu Qingjue pushed open the door, but the two people facing off inside did not react.
He is now in observer mode during the day.
Yan Shiqun was clearly at a disadvantage in the hall. He clutched a torn scroll tightly in his hand, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth as he covered his chest.
Wen Tianyu was dressed neatly, with one white eye. He looked down at him, holding a sword with bloodstains on the tip.
"You're a madman..." Yan Shiqun glared at him: "You actually embedded a lens in your eye..."
“Only by stabilizing the Heavenly Eye can I strategize effectively,” Wen Tianyu said, pointing his sword at him without any extra emotion. “Demon Lord, outside Jing Pavilion you can crush me like an ant, but inside Jing Pavilion, you are no match for me.”
“You knew from the beginning that Aju was a spy, that I was trying to break the seal on Qianlun Mountain, and that Ruan Linglai would die!” Yan Shiqun said, “Then why did you do nothing these past few months!”
“You two are useful, I’ve made myself very clear. As for Ruan Linglai, I can’t interfere with other people’s lives and deaths, and besides, I didn’t get involved with her on my own initiative.”
Bu Qingjue froze again.
“I can’t see my own fate, I don’t know when I will die,” Wen Tianyu squatted down and said, “Of course I will try to use others as a tool. Unlike you, I live for revenge, nothing more.”
"..."
“I deliberately let Aju go. He already harbored hatred towards the three families. I told him the truth about the mountain guardian. He was my first weapon. Ruan Linglai can be used as bait. Don’t get excited, because I’m almost there too. I will fulfill my final responsibility and soon meet you in the afterlife. Then you can scold me.”
"madman!!"
“I’m not crazy,” Wen Tianyu’s tone suddenly turned fierce, “but if you think I am, then I am.”
“Actually, after seeing your life, I don’t dislike you or any of you. If time had been longer and things had been more ordinary, we might have become true friends,” Wen Tianyu said, piercing Yan Shiqun with his sword. “Unfortunately, there are no ifs.”
This was the first time Bu Qingjue had learned that Yan Shiqun was not only a demonic cultivator, but also the demon lord who had died many years ago.
The Jing Pavilion is filled with array formations, making it a perfect counter.
That day, Wen Tianyu pierced Yan Shiqun with more than a dozen swords, and Jingge became a bloody slaughterhouse.
However, the goose was rescued when it was separated from its flock and on the verge of death.
The person who saved him was Aju.
To be precise, it is the Divine Child who knows all the truth.
He gave Yan Shiqun the best medicine for her wounds, and gave a somewhat sinister smile: "Yan, we're friends, aren't we?"
Yan Shiqun gritted his teeth and endured the pain, his eyes bloodshot: "I have nothing to do with you anymore."
“It doesn’t matter,” Shen Ziju said, tilting his head. “I saved you, and I need you to do something for me.”
Shenziju laughed and said, "This time the guarantee is true."
Jingge was quieter than ever before.
Jie Zhoujian and Bu Qingjue stood still. Just a second ago, Yan Shiqun was taken away in a cloud of smoke. Bu Qingjue knew that the only person who could enter and leave Jingge so easily and was so familiar with Jingge could be one of the people they had spent the last few months with.
Ruan Linglai is dead; only that person remains.
Wen Tianyu had already sensed something approaching.
"Ah, they found a way to break the barrier in just a few months. Is it because the Divine Child Residence had too much information, or because the Jieyou group was really troublesome?"
Wen Tianyu muttered to himself, drew his sword, and merely smiled.
"Wait!"
Jie rushed over instantly, but his hand passed right through him without touching him.
Sizzle...
Two streams of blood flowed from his eyes. He then slit his own eyes and threw them into the still-burning embers at his feet.
Bu Qingjue stood there numbly, completely unprepared for this turn of events.
Generally speaking, the typical storyline should develop from their daily interactions to the point where they develop trust and tacit understanding.
Then make the villains pay the price.
But at this moment, it was the main characters who were going to their deaths one by one.
Was it because he didn't complete a certain task well enough? Is there a problem with the way he's driving the plot forward? Has the plot progressed to this point because of him?
Did he create the worst possible outcome the moment he decided not to save Yun Yuelin?
After an unknown amount of time, Bu Qingjue did not choose to leave Jingge, but simply watched from the side.
Jie stayed with him during the day without saying a word.
A group of people barged in.
Jingge was burned down, and in the blink of an eye, the former building became ruins.
Wen Tianyu stood amidst the ruins.
The head of the Zhao family, staring at his empty eye sockets, shouted, "What have you done!"
“I knew you wanted to take my eyes,” blood flowed from his closed eyes, and even if he opened them, all that could be seen were two empty holes: “I have already gouged them out and given them to a bird, returning them to heaven and earth, to all things as witnesses—I am now worthless, so what does it matter if you slaughter me?”
He reached out and regarded darkness as glory, and death as his final destination.
"Damn it," the Zhao family head spat, "Kill this madman, let's go..."
“Jingge only invites friends,” Wen Tianyu said, standing up. “Those who come uninvited will only have one fate.”
A blood-red array formed throughout the entire Jingge area, trapping all the Zhao family intruders.
"So this is how you die," Wen Tianyu said calmly, his body covered in blood, as if he felt no pain at all. He simply smiled and said, "I foresaw this, so I guess I've won against fate."
"A madman! He wants to take us all down with him!"
"Run! This madman is courting death!"
Witnessing this scene firsthand was incredibly shocking. A voice was screaming in Bu Qingjue's heart, but he couldn't move his body.
Ruan Linglai is a good girl. She is exceptionally talented, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She has a loving family. She just wants to go home. She just wants to go home...
Wen Tianyu isn't crazy, he isn't... He should have been the person who saw the world most clearly, it was you who drove him crazy! You drove him crazy! You drove him crazy...!
Blood mist filled the northern mountains... or rather, Su Jing.
Blood mist filled Su Jing's foot, and everyone under the forbidden formation was in excruciating pain, including Wen Tianyu himself.
But he was laughing so happily, he had never been so happy before.
Although he died in complete darkness, he heard the cries of one of his enemies, which gave him a tingling, pleasurable sensation.
Next, this man, who was destined to die, used the knife of the living to kill the Xie family.
Don't let him down, Shenziju, the guardian of the mountain.
Jingge was razed to the ground in an instant.
Bu Qingjue reached out shakily and passed the stone again.
He is not yet a physical entity.
The story isn't over yet.
Ruan Linglai is dead, Wen Tianyu is dead, the Zhao family is gone.
"Release the daytime..."
"I am here."
"Release the daytime...release the daytime..."
"I am here."
He really didn't expect it to be like this. He died innocently and tragically. How could he still be unharmed?
“It’s my fault,” Bu Qingjue could only clung to Xie Zhoujian, who was also watching from the sidelines: “I was stubborn and went down the wrong path, leading to the worst possible outcome… There must be a way, I can definitely find a way, I could have found a way…”
"You are not a god, Bu Qingjue."
"..."
Jie covered his eyes during the day and said, "Stop looking, stop looking."
His voice trembled as he watched his former allies die one after another in this manner, and Xie Zhoujian was heartbroken.
The system remained silent, and Bu Qingjue genuinely didn't want any additional voices to disturb his current thoughts.
He's in a mess.
But the plot won't pause because of him, and death won't wait for him to adjust his state before it arrives.
The next second, he and Xie Zhoujian arrived at an unfamiliar place. Bu Qingjue immediately recognized the person standing in the middle as the head of the Li family. His sword pierced through a person who was also wearing Li family clothes.
"This is the consequence of betrayal," the Li family head said in a flippant tone, as if the dead were not a person but an insect. "Men, take Li Wei's body away. If anyone else commits this crime again, kill them without exception."
