Chapter 122: The Final Battle on Kongfang Island (1) Xiao Wangyou inserts the Phoenix Feather into...
“Master! Don’t—!”
Gu Congxing's loud shout echoed throughout the hall, and the Zhuoguang sword that was stabbing down suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Chen Mu immediately turned around and saw Gu Congxing following Ji Ling and Ji Meng, his brows slightly furrowed.
"From the stars?"
"Master! Don't kill her!"
Gu Congxing flew in front of Shen Mu, “and the two mysterious women of the Ji family were already standing between Shen Mu and Xie Qingnian.
Ji Meng spread her arms to protect Xie Qingnian. Ji Ling also knelt beside her and said sadly, "Sister Patriarch! You...how did you become like this..."
When Xie Qingnian, who was in a gloomy mood, saw the two of them, he slowly blinked, and his eyes gradually brightened.
"you……"
Her voice was very weak, and after a moment's silence, she continued, "Really, idiot."
Seeing her speak, Chen Mu asked again, "Xie Qingnian, where is Xuanyuan Chu?"
Ji Ling and Ji Meng had already begun transmitting spiritual power to her from the left and right. Xie Qingnian raised her eyes and looked at Chen Mu and Gu Congxing silently.
Those beautiful lake-blue eyes were now dead. She seemed to be thinking for a long time, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly pushed the Ji sisters away, drew the scimitar from Ji Meng's waist, and made a long cut on her right arm!
"puff--"
Blood suddenly gushed out, and everyone was stunned. Then they saw Xie Qingnian looking at the blood on the ground, and without hesitation, he threw the knife and stabbed one of the black poisonous insects!
"This is... the mind poison!!" Ji Meng exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Congxing was also shocked as he looked at the motionless poisonous insect.
Mind Gu, the legendary insect that can monitor the mind of the person who has been poisoned, and once he has any unfaithful thoughts, he will burn himself with five poisons and suffer unbearable pain?
It actually exists.
No wonder Xie Qingnian has always been under Xuanyuan Chu's tight control. Even if he wants to fight back, he only dares to let the Ji clan members go.
After removing the poisonous insect, she let out a long sigh. Her thin body swayed and then she stood still. She looked at Chen Mu and Gu Congxing and said, "Xuanyuan Chu has gone to Kongfang Island."
Kongfang Island? It's closest to the Three Mulberry Trees without Branches that traverse the Three Realms, yet it has turbulent spiritual energy and no one lives there. Why would Xuanyuan Chu go there?
Xie Qingnian, supported by Ji Ling and Ji Meng, continued, "He's going to use the blood of the divine beast to perform a heavenly sacrifice formation there... The disciples who were previously missing and the talented disciples of the Apocalypse Sect have all been taken away."
Gu Congxing suddenly opened his eyes wide when he heard this.
Bloodline of the divine beast!
Xuanyuan Chu had been wanting to gather the blood of divine beasts to activate a heaven-defying formation since seven years ago. Even after failing, he didn't give up and instead took his younger disciples away!
"The Heavenly Sacrifice Formation... is an ancient evil forbidden technique that slaughters living beings to sacrifice to the gods for one's own wishes." Shen Mu said in a deep voice, "How long has he been gone?"
Xie Qing read out, "It's been three days."
"Tsk, this guy is so cunning that he deliberately lured us to attack Tianqi Gate, but he himself has already gone to Kongfang Island!" Gu Congxing cursed softly, but saw that Chen Mu was actually lost in thought and silent, and took another step closer to Xie Qingnian.
His sword had never been sheathed.
"Zhuoguang Sword Master!" Ji Meng threw himself in front of Xie Qingnian and held her with his arms outstretched. "The Patriarch's sister has been coerced by Xuanyuan Chu for years, and she doesn't really want to help the tyrant!"
"That's right! The head of the family's sister was forced to make corpse poison, and her spiritual power is almost exhausted! You, you..." Ji Ling gritted her teeth and hugged Xie Qingnian, saying to Chen Mu, "If you want to kill her, kill me first!"
The two of them looked alert and anxious, but Xie Qingnian coughed softly and looked at Chen Mu with a calm and indifferent look.
Seeing this, Gu Congxing wanted to stop Chen Mu, but when he saw the expression on his face, he stopped suddenly.
Master, I have no intention to kill.
As expected, he only heard Shen Mu say: "Xie Qingnian, your spiritual veins are already broken, you know."
"What?!" Everyone present opened their mouths in surprise, their eyes fixed on Xie Qingnian.
She propped herself up and sat up straighter, her face still calm: "I... should have done so."
Ji Ling and Ji Meng were both shocked and hurt, but Xie Qingnian actually raised the corners of his lips slightly, without any fear of becoming a cripple, but as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
She hugged the two girls and looked up at Chen Mu: "Thank you, Sword Master, for not killing me."
Chen Mu looked at them silently for a moment and sheathed his sword.
Gu Congxing was also speechless for a moment.
Xie Qingnian, the former fairy Yunlian, has lost all her cultivation from now on and can no longer practice. Her life span is also coming to an end.
And the source of all this is the final enemy - Xuanyuan Chu!
***
After Xie Qingnian stopped, hundreds of corpse puppets lost control, some killing each other, and some collapsed to the ground. The disciples of the immortal sects took advantage of the victory and pursued them, finally successfully wiping out the corpse tide.
When Chen Mu and Gu Congxing returned, they brought news about Kongfang Island. The monks from various sects were all shocked and excited. They finally decided to send elite monks from each sect to fight a decisive battle on Kongfang Island, and the trip was scheduled for one day later.
It is day and night.
There are gusts of evening wind and dark clouds.
In order to conserve their energy, the cultivators from various immortal sects did not return to their own sects, but all came to the Qingxuan Sword Sect, which was not far from the Tianqi Sect, and waited to rush to Kongfang Island the next day.
Gu Congxing tossed and turned on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep at all. He simply stepped out, flew his sword to the highest point of the peak, and looked up at the sky.
"Gu Congxing?"
A call came from behind. Gu Congxing turned around and saw that the person coming was Xiao Wangyou.
He sat next to Gu Congxing, holding the huge black iron sword in his arms.
"You can't sleep either." Gu Congxing said.
"Yeah." Xiao Wangyou was still as cold as usual.
Neither of them was talkative to begin with, so after this question and answer, they tacitly stopped talking. They silently watched the clouds rolling in the sky, entwining around the bright moon and blocking out the light from the sky.
Gu Congxing was just wondering when the dark clouds would finally dissipate when he heard Xiao Wangyou suddenly say, "Gu Congxing, do you still remember this Phoenix Feather?"
He took out the refined and transformed phoenix feather from his bosom. Even in the dark night, it still shone with a bright and spiritual light.
Gu Congxing's eyes narrowed slightly and he nodded silently.
Of course he remembered this Phoenix Feather, which was the source of all the tragedies in his previous life. After his rebirth, he quickly got it back from his master.
Afterwards, he returned the Phoenix Feather to its original owner, and learned from Xiao Wangyou that this item was transformed from the power of the Phoenix of the Kong clan. There is only one in a lifetime, and he gave it to his sweetheart.
Thinking of this, recalling every little thing after my rebirth now makes me feel as if I were in another world for no reason.
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, but he suddenly felt a chill in his hand. It was Xiao Wangyou who stuffed the phoenix feather into his hand!
“What are you doing…?”
"Since you have refined it, you must be very familiar with it."
Xiao Wangyou looked a little uneasy. His eyes met Gu Congxing's before he looked away again. He folded his arms and said, "You know, the Phoenix Feather is extremely beneficial for cultivators to improve their cultivation. If you refine it with your natal sword, it will not only help you improve your cultivation, but also enhance your sword intent, making it extremely powerful."
Gu Congxing held the glittering Phoenix Feather in his hand, was stunned for a moment, and said: "But, didn't you say that this is a gift for your heart——"
"You! Don't overthink it! This is just... I've seen that among all the cultivators, you have the strongest fighting spirit. I'm afraid that when the time comes, you and Xuanyuan Chu will fight the most fiercely..."
The night breeze blew through the mountains, and Xiao Wangyou's gold-feather and red-patterned earrings fluttered along with her black hair.
Having said this, he finally retracted his gaze from side to side and looked directly at Gu Congxing.
"Hey, Gu Congxing, please don't die."
The dark clouds had dissipated with the wind at some point, and the moonlight poured down, falling into two pairs of dark eyes.
"...Well, I won't die."
Gu Congxing clenched the Phoenix Feather tightly, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and the long scarlet ribbon in his hair formed an arc in the night breeze.
"Xiao Wangyou, you too."
The black-clothed man in front of him raised his eyebrows and then smiled.
"Well, it's a deal."
****
By the time Gu Congxing returned to the house and finished refining the Phoenix Feather, it was time to set off.
He is now close to the peak of the out-of-body stage. With the blessing of the Phoenix Feather, he can actually display the sword power of the Spirit Transformation Stage and has the ability to fight against the strong ones in the Mahayana Stage.
The Qingxuan Sword Sect's spirit boat shuttled through the sea of clouds. Three days later, it crossed the Boundless Sea and landed on Kongfang Island.
Gu Congxing flew down from the spirit boat and looked up to see the three mulberry trees without branches hidden in the distant clouds, like jade pillars supporting the sky.
There is no human presence on the island, but the vegetation is lush and has a wild and natural feel.
He was just looking up when he heard a loud and excited cry: "Senior Brother!"
"Junior Brother."
Gu Congxing was about to turn around when Zhong Ming bumped into him. He hugged Gu Congxing tightly, nuzzled his neck and said, "Brother, I didn't see you for a long time when I was fighting in Kunwu Mountain. I only found out that you had already gone back after the fight."
This guy is always so clingy no matter what.
But thanks to him, the anxiety in Gu Congxing's heart dissipated a little. He was about to respond when he heard an icy voice behind him.
"Zhong Ming, don't behave in an unruly manner."
It’s actually Master?!
Zhong Ming was also obviously startled. He subconsciously let go of his hand, but when he came to his senses, he looked at the snow-white figure with a complicated expression.
"Master, you really are..."
"Huh! As a teacher, you disregard ethics and moral principles. It's unbelievable!"
Si Junjian also approached here. He walked to Gu Congxing's side with his arms folded and glanced at Chen Mu.
"Zhuoguang Sword Master, you're hiding really well."
Shen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and the air around him suddenly turned cold.
"...Everyone, the other monks will be here soon."
A clear and melodious voice broke the strange atmosphere. Lan Jue walked into the middle of the group and said with a smile, "With a powerful enemy at hand, it's better to unite."
"Big Brother is right!"
Gu Congxing hurriedly continued his words. Although Si Junjian muttered "pretending", the junior brother sneered, and the master looked thoughtful, a fight was finally resolved.
When other cultivators arrived, they saw the group of current cultivators, the Demon Lord and the Demon King standing side by side, and they couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
Soon all the immortal sects had entered the island. Gu Congxing exchanged a glance with the four people around him, then took the lead and walked towards the center of the island.
The rest of the monks followed behind. The monks from first-rate families all stood at the outermost edge, while the youngest monks walked in the middle of the team.
There was a turbulent flow of spiritual energy on Kongfang Island, but fortunately, they had prepared for this battle. The Yuan family's Medical Saint had already prepared a magic pill. After taking it, the person would not be trapped by the turbulence and could circulate spiritual energy without any stagnation.
Gu Congxing sensed his own spiritual power, his eyes slightly cold.
Although there is no problem in circulating spiritual power, the spiritual power in the air is thin. If we fight a protracted battle, I am afraid...
At this moment, the island suddenly shook violently. All the monks raised their swords and looked around, only to see that the ground in the center of Kongfang Island suddenly cracked, and a white platform rose from it!
And on the high platform, five giant stone pillars stood, and in the middle of them was Xuanyuan Chu, who was suspended in the air, dressed in black clothes!
He raised his arms and smiled kindly, as if the person in front of him was not an enemy who came to kill him, but a guest from afar.
"Everyone! I've been waiting for you for a long time!!"
"Although you have been deceived by the villain and have many misunderstandings about me, it is not too late!"
He stared at the monks who were looking shocked and astonished, and his smile grew even wider.
"I, Xuanyuan Chu, have painstakingly worked for hundreds of years to ensure the eternal continuity of the spiritual veins and the endless spiritual power of the cultivation world. Finally, I have discovered a way to achieve it!"
"As long as you offer five divine beasts, you can open the door to the three realms and lead the divine power into the void!"
There was a sudden noise in the crowd, and Xuanyuan Chu waved his hand, pointing directly at Chen Mu!
"Chen Mu, Si Junjian, Zhong Ming, Lan Jue..."
"Everyone! Sacrificing these four people can buy a peaceful life for millions of people—!"
