Chapter 136 Chapter 136 43
In the secret realm at this time.
After killing the man, Yuan Rui secretly returned to the place where Bai Kang had fought with the ferocious beast.
The place was in a mess at this time, many times more chaotic than when he first came here, but the more chaotic it was, the more relaxed Yuan Rui felt.
He has a magic weapon in his hand, and now if nothing unexpected happens, Bai Kang and the ferocious beast will both be injured. He doesn't believe that he can't deal with Bai Kang under such circumstances.
Sure enough, when he looked in another direction, he saw the ferocious beast that was almost dying. Bai Kang also looked very embarrassed, which made him even more confident.
Of course, he had no intention of going out and having a fair fight with Bai Kang. He was a person who valued his life, not to mention that now that he had become a cultivator, he wanted to live for hundreds or thousands of years or even immortality!
However, Bai Kang was also wary and soon realized something was wrong. He shouted, "Who is it?"
Yuan Rui then walked out with a grim expression, "Oh, Senior Brother is worthy of being Senior Brother. Even in this state, he can still sense my presence."
"..." Bai Kang frowned and subconsciously started to scold, "Have you memorized the Qianshan Sect's teachings? How are you doing your homework? Qianshan Sect's teachings, rule 109, 'When encountering danger, do not forget to be vigilant of your surroundings. Even after leaving danger, do not let down your guard.' Where have you memorized all that?"
However, after he finished speaking, he realized that he was no longer the eldest senior brother of Qianshan Sect, and Yuanrui was the vested interest of the schemes he had suffered.
"Why did you come back again?" Bai Kang always felt that something was wrong with his expression, but he didn't think anything bad of him.
"Brother, the man I was following just now wanted to steal my magic weapon, so I took the opportunity to run away. Now, can I follow you? Otherwise, this secret realm is full of dangers, and I'm afraid I can't handle it with my cultivation level."
Bai Kang's first reaction was to refuse.
His mother said that he must win first place and bring her honor. Why is he bringing Yuanrui with him?
Moreover, Yuan Rui's cultivation was too low. Although he didn't know how he managed to squeeze into the top ten, he had to kill ferocious beasts to earn points, and it would be difficult to protect him if he took him with him.
"Big Brother, have you now recognized your real mother and even disowned the past affection? Don't forget, if my parents hadn't picked you up and raised you, you might not be alive today!"
Bai Kang's frown deepened. "Since you already know that the Sect Master and his wife are your parents, you must be aware of their schemes. How can you still say such things with such confidence?"
"What are you saying? Raising you and asking you to repay me? Why can't I say that? Isn't this the truth? Even if there was some calculation involved, my parents did all this just for your luck, so that we could successfully exchange lives. But it doesn't prevent them from raising you. You're wrong to be jealous of them for this! Not to mention, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been thrown into the mortal world to suffer so much. Do you know how I lived in the mortal world? At that time, you were in Qianshan Sect, enjoying everything that should have belonged to me."
Bai Kang: "...There is a saying in the mortal world that if you have no shame, you will be invincible. Now I really understand it."
Yuan Rui spoke so boldly in the secret realm, but he had no idea that the situation outside was even more chaotic.
"Baili Qing! Can you explain who the parents Yuanrui is talking about are, and what exactly is the life exchange?"
Putting aside other things for now, the idea of exchanging lives alone is a real evil magic, something that everyone despises.
Baili Qing was practically going crazy now, his murderous intent towards Yuan Rui even stronger. "Idiot, what a bastard!" He was so outspoken, he didn't even know what to say or what not to say. He had clearly told everyone entering the secret realm before they entered that everyone would be watching them from outside, and yet Yuan Rui did just that!
Shui Ying's face turned pale. She hadn't expected her child to be so foolish. Not only had he failed to destroy the Cloud and Water Mirror, but he had also said such words in front of everyone. If this couldn't be explained clearly, what would be the point of putting Bai Kang into the Soul-Cultivating Banner? By then, with everyone in the world at his feet, even staying alive would be a difficult matter.
This was different from the killing he had just done. After all, in the world of cultivation, if someone killed someone, as long as there was a reason, at most they would just fall out with the sect of the person being killed. But other people would not care at all, and it would gradually be forgotten as time passed.
But exchanging lives is not an option. Once it is confirmed that she used this evil magic, I'm afraid someone would kill her directly.
She wanted to destroy the Yunshui Mirror, but the Yunshui Mirror could only work on the area it reflected. With her current level of cultivation, she had no way of destroying the Yunshui Mirror with one blow.
She began to look around calmly again. There were not many people present, but what was despairing was that all the leaders of the sects were there. Those who were responsible for leading the team must have cultivation levels that were among the best in their sects.
Ruo Ruo actually didn't expect Yuan Rui to tell everything under such circumstances. She had originally thought of waiting until Bai Kang won first place and all the luck was taken back before announcing their actions to the world. Now it seems that there is no need to waste effort.
Even Bai Kang's luck was directly lost, because the image of Baili Qing and Shui Ying in the minds of the people present collapsed, not to mention Yuan Rui, it was even more difficult for him to clear his name.
So now Ruo Ruo is not worried about Bai Kang in the secret realm. Not to mention the magic weapons and skills he has, his luck alone is enough to keep him safe.
…
In the secret realm, Yuan Rui had no idea that people outside could still see what he was doing. He began to feel proud of his success and took out the Soul-Yuanding Banner.
"Forget it, since you are ungrateful and unwilling to help me, then just go and die. I'm afraid you are seriously injured now, right? Otherwise, kneel down and kowtow to me, and I will consider whether to let you go."
Bai Kang: "..."
"Yes, the injury is serious." As he said that, he took out a bottle of pills from the storage ring, poured one into his mouth.
Shui Ying, who was keeping an eye on the situation outside the secret realm, was almost pissed to death by Yuan Rui and wished she could go to the secret realm to deal with Bai Kang herself.
How could a person be so stupid? Not to mention all that nonsense, there was also a chance for Bai Kang to take the elixir. Yuan Rui didn't recognize the elixir, but she did. Once the elixir was swallowed, not to mention being injured, even if he lost half his life, it could be saved. It was simply... more of a hindrance than a help.
But until now, Shuiying still thinks Yuanrui can defeat Bai Kang.
But the facts proved that she was wrong. Yuan Rui had many magic weapons, and Bai Kang also had many magic weapons. What even amazed everyone was that he had set up the formation at the beginning. Yuan Rui used the Soul-Yuancing Banner, but he could not deal with Bai Kang, and instead suffered a backlash.
Shui Ying was now completely anxious and didn't even pretend anymore. She wanted to force her way into the entrance to the secret realm.
Yu Hechen was the first to stand up and stop them. "Hey, Madam, what are you doing? Didn't you just say that forcibly breaking it open might cause the secret realm to collapse? Where are you putting the people in the secret realm?"
The others also reacted and echoed, "Yes, our sect's great elder's disciple is still inside. What if you force your way in and hurt him? Our sect's good disciples are here to compete, not to cooperate with you in such a farce."
"Yes, yes, this secret realm cannot be broken into by force. It's not safe..."
Now many people are looking forward to the show.
Haha, when they were worried about their own disciples, they told them to stay calm. Now that this Yuanrui is about to get into trouble, why don’t they advise me to stay calm?
For someone like Yuan Rui, his death isn't worth regretting just based on what happened in the secret realm.
Shui Ying took a deep breath and was about to explain, but she found that Yuan Rui in the secret realm had suffered a backlash. The endless evil spirits were unable to deal with Bai Kang. After being seriously injured, they turned around and pounced on Yuan Rui.
She was so scared that her eyes were bloodshot. It was not because she cared about her son that much, but because she was the one who performed the life-changing technique. If Yuanrui died, she would suffer a more serious backlash. By then, she would be neither human nor ghost, and she certainly did not want that.
"No matter what, that's a life. Yuan Rui did something wrong, and we in Qianshan Sect will naturally punish him. But are you going to just sit there and watch a life disappear before your eyes?"
Yu Heyan was amused by her words. "You and that shameless guy in the secret realm are truly worthy of being mother and son. No wonder Yuan Rui talks nonsense and has no shame at all. Now it seems like mother, like son."
Shui Ying was so embarrassed by what he said that she could only say with red eyes, "How can you, a person who is eager to become the stepfather of an old beggar's son, say such things about me? You probably don't know that the person you treat like a treasure is just a prostitute who has been slept with by thousands of people and even wants someone to have sex with her, they have to pay a lot of money before they will do it."
The words were spoken rather roughly, at least in such an occasion, everyone who heard it frowned, but many people's eyes honestly swept in the direction of Ruo Ruo.
Well, although she was wearing a mask, she was obviously a beauty. Thinking of what Shuiying said, they were curious about what kind of face was under the mask that could make the second young master of Yuding Sect willingly become someone's stepfather.
And she doesn't look like a prostitute at all. Instead, she has a faint aloofness that makes people feel sacred and inviolable.
But the next second they felt a sense of pressure on them, and many people then noticed the man sitting on the other side of the woman.
"Ji Ling?"
"Ji Binyang?"
Many people recognized him, even though the two identities might not match, but the older people all recognized Ji Ling, and many of the younger people had also seen Ji Binyang. It could be said that he was a celebrity in the world of cultivation.
Ji Binyang's identity was not so ordinary. Most of the time, people only knew him for fun and didn't know his background. But Ji Ling was different. Anyone who knew a little about battle formations would know Ji Ling's name.
"Hey, isn't Ji Ling an elder of the Xingyun Sect? Did he sit in the wrong seat? Why is he sitting on the Yuding Sect side?"
There were also some tactful people who reacted and immediately touched the person who was speaking.
But based on the pressure they had just endured, they should have realized that Ji Ling and that woman had an unusual relationship.
Yu Hechen was not idle either. He had no intention of not taking action against women. In his eyes, there was only a distinction between his own people and outsiders. If his own people said something he didn't like, he would get angry. If outsiders said something he didn't like, he wouldn't even get angry, because he could easily deal with that person.
However, he still had some gender awareness, so he did not attack directly with his bare hands, but took out his sword from the storage ring.
Shui Ying was extremely frightened. At this moment, she no longer had the pride she once had. She dodged in a hurry, but her cultivation was not as good as Yu Heyan's, and her speed was naturally not as good as theirs. Although she dodged, her arm was still seriously injured.
Even so, Yu Hechen didn't let him go and swung his sword at her again. This time, his goal was not to hurt her, but to pick off her mask.
Who is she to deserve to wear a mask like Ruoruo?
Shui Ying took advantage of this opportunity to keep calling out to Baili Qing, "Husband, save me, husband!"
But Baili Qing just stood there indifferently, with his eyes lowered, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Shui Ying completely collapsed at this point. "Bai Li Qing, do you think you can escape if I die? This life-swapping was something we both agreed to do. If I die, Rui Er dies, and you can't escape! Furthermore, I used poison in your training area. Without my antidote, the poison will slowly eat away at your entire body until you die."
"What did you say?" Baili Qing looked up suddenly.
On the contrary, Yu Heyan stopped when he heard this, looked at her and then at Baili Qing, secretly clicking his tongue in amazement. It was true that when people go crazy they can do anything, even their own Taoist partners will not be spared.
However, Baili Qing's Dao partner was indeed incompetent. He had just watched from the side, perhaps expecting him to kill Shui Ying? As expected of a Dao partner, each one was no worse than the other.
Meanwhile, Ji Ling, on the other side, had already hurriedly looked at Ruoruo and expressed his feelings to her, "Ruoruo, I will never be like Baili Qing. In the future, if you kill someone, I will definitely hand you the knife. If you save someone, I will find medicine for you. I will never be so heartless, and I will never let you end up in the same situation as that person."
Ruo Ruo was silent for a while, then quietly moved to the other side of him.
Now the one who got excited was Baili Qing. "What did you just say? What kind of poison did you use?"
Although he looks cold on the surface, he is actually afraid of death. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to ascend to become an immortal so much, and he wouldn't do so many things that he shouldn't do just to improve his cultivation and ascend to immortality.
"On the day you wanted to kill me, I poisoned me. After all, my cultivation level isn't as high as yours. Ultimately, I'm in Qianshan Sect only because of you. You don't care about the relationship we've had for so many years, so of course I have to find a way to protect myself. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at your wrist. Is there a new blue mark?"
Baili Qing did not lift his sleeves to look, because he knew that what Shui Ying said was true. He had discovered the blue trace she mentioned two days ago, but at that time he thought it was some kind of opportunity. After all, opportunities in the world of cultivation could be obtained in any unpredictable way.
Moreover, he met Miss Ruoruo twice and found that she seemed to be very fond of blue. Her clothes and masks all had a hint of blue, which made him inevitably have an extraordinary liking for this color. At that time, he also thought that maybe it was his fate with Miss Ruoruo, otherwise why did a blue line inexplicably appear on his wrist after he met Miss Ruoruo?
Only now did he realize that this was actually the poison given by Shui Ying!
"You vicious woman!" As he said this, he no longer cared about maintaining his image and knocked Shui Yingshan to the ground with a palm.
Shui Ying lay on the ground with a wry smile, "Oh, you're no worse than me. Baili Qing, you may appear noble on the surface, but in reality you're the most selfish and cold-hearted. It's good that I found the life-changing technique, but I hesitated at the time. In fact, you're the one who wanted Yuanrui's life to be exchanged the most!"
"You always act so high and mighty, always seeming pure and unselfish, but in reality, you're greedy and selfish, yet afraid of being discovered. So you transform your discontent and unfulfilled desires into icy blades, stabbing them at me. Using your indifference, you make me reflect, strive, and ultimately achieve your desired goals."
"Back then, I was worried that the life-changing technique would backfire. You held my hand and told me that no matter what, you would always be with me, never leaving me, and that we were one. Yet you never mentioned that you were Rui'er's biological father, and that you could also use that secret technique."
"Later, I performed the life-changing technique, and my face became like this. On the surface, you seemed unconcerned. You treated me with great tenderness in front of others, protecting and caring for me, never disdaining me. Yet, you found another place to live under the pretext of cultivating in seclusion."
"You brought Gu Qifan to Qianshan Sect and allowed me to bully him. I pushed many things he shouldn't have done onto him and made him bear the brunt of them. You saw it all, but you didn't stop it. Yet, behind his back, you acted like you were so kind to Gu Qifan, deliberately pretending to be a good master. You used the life-changing technique, and besides Rui'er, you were the one who benefited the most. Ha, I still have to pay the price, but you, all you have to do is pretend, right?"
"Baili Qing, you are no more innocent than I am."
She collapsed on the ground, sobbing and crying. A small number of people present began to feel a little pitiful for her and began to look at Baili Qing with strange eyes.
Some soft-hearted people are hard to empathize with unless they are the person involved, but Shuiying described it so pitifully that they felt there was some truth in what she said.
Baili Qing's face turned red and blue. The more a person likes to pretend, the more he fears that someone will expose his disguise.
At this moment, he even wanted to kill Shui Ying directly without caring about the poison in his body.
At this moment, the secret realm was filled with Yuanrui's wailing and begging for mercy. The sound was not loud outside, but it made Shuiying shiver.
"Baili Qing, go and save Rui'er! Do you think you'll have a good ending if Rui'er dies like this? People like you who benefit will only suffer double the consequences! All your original luck will be returned to Gu Qifan as compensation. People without any luck will only die miserably."
Ruo Ruo, who was standing by, was stunned when she heard this. [System, is what she said true?]
439 took a long moment to reply, "No, if Yuanrui had died a normal death, this wouldn't have happened. But if he died now, it wouldn't be a normal death. That little flag has a different purpose. It can collect a person's soul and refine it bit by bit, stripping away all the good qualities of the soul, leaving only endless negative energy. The negative energy originally in the flag will also slowly attach itself to the soul."
Ruo Ruo was silent for a moment. She found that some people in this world were always more vicious than she could have imagined.
"I don't want Baili Qing to enter the secret realm." She turned and said to Ji Ling.
Ji Ling was very excited and nodded. This was the first request Ruoruo made for him since they met.
But soon he couldn't laugh anymore because someone took over his job. Two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the secret realm.
It looked so familiar that he couldn't forget it!
They were all his acquaintances when he caused chaos in Yuding Sect fifty years ago.
Like a ghost, no one knows where he came from. He was so annoying fifty years ago and he is still so annoying now.
Ever since Qu Chengjing was taken away by his master, he has been practicing desperately. His master was afraid that his mentality would be unstable and he would go astray again, so at the beginning he didn't dare to tell him that Ruoruo was injured by a villain and looked to have died. Instead, he said that Ruoruo was taken away by Ji Ling.
Until five years ago, when his cultivation was stuck at the peak of the fusion stage and he was unable to break through, he begged his master to let him leave and find Ruoruo. Only then did his master tell him the truth.
He was no longer so obsessed at that time, but he didn't believe that Ruoruo was dead, so he had no choice but to break free from his master's control and search everywhere. It was not until Yu Heyan, whom he had someone watching a few days ago, made a move that he followed Yu Heyan here.
But after learning about Ruoruo's current situation, they did not show up immediately. Fifty years of longing for her has now turned into a thought that as long as Ruoruo is well, everything will be fine.
One of the two is rough but meticulous, and the other is naturally meticulous. They have investigated everything about Hele Sect over the years. After all, Ruoruo was harmed by Shui Wushuang of Hele Sect, so she noticed that something was wrong with Shui Ying at the first time.
That's why he secretly investigated everything about Shuiying and made up his mind not to leave any trouble behind.
