Chapter 25: Mingguang Luo (Previous Life) "Chen Mu, you really deserve it...
[Recommended background music "Ruo Meng"]
Junior brother!
Even though he knew that he could not change the situation in the slightest, Gu Congxing still couldn't help but rush forward.
Xiao Wangyou's long sword pierced Zhong Ming's right arm, and blood gushed out immediately.
"Don't move! If you want to successfully survive the bloodline awakening period, you must bleed!"
Facing the struggling Zhong Ming, Xiao Wangyou stood straight forward, chanting incantations rapidly, and a red-gold spiritual wave emerged on his left hand, resembling a fire phoenix.
He placed his left hand on top of Zhong Ming's head, and spiritual power slowly poured into Zhong Ming's body like water, causing golden spiritual patterns to emerge on his body.
With the infusion of Xiao Wangyou's spiritual power, Zhong Ming's black scales gradually faded away, and the dragon horns on his forehead disappeared.
Half an hour later, Zhong Ming's pupils had returned to normal. He stared at Xiao Wangyou for a long moment, a look of silent observation and scrutiny, his voice hoarse and mocking.
“…Thank you.”
Xiao Wangyou practiced his Qi for a while, and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He withdrew his left hand and stared at Zhong Ming, his eyes flashing with a few sharp gleams.
When Gu Congxing saw Xiao Wangyou's expression, he knew that he had another plan, and his bad premonition became stronger.
The scene before his eyes began to change again. This time, the season had changed, and the time had come for Chen Mu to transcend the tribulation.
Lan Jue had previously mentioned to Xiao Wangyou that there were important matters to attend to within the peak, and that he hoped he would return to the Ganyang Sect. However, Xiao Wangyou hadn't hesitated to open his wound again and remain within the Sword Sect.
Gu Congxing thought, it seemed that his trick was about to be implemented.
That day, the thunderclouds gathering above Wuji Cliff suddenly split, as if the sky had been torn apart. Purple lightning roared and flashed within them, and Chen Mu stood alone on the cliff's edge, longsword in hand, staring straight at the sky.
"boom--"
The first thunderbolt crashed down, and spiritual energy surged around Chen Mu, while the formation beneath his feet burst out with silver light.
Outside Wuji Cliff, Lan Jue and Zhong Ming stared at Chen Mu's figure nervously, while behind them, Xiao Wangyou was hidden in the dark night.
Gu Congxing was still floating in the air, his gaze moved around and finally fixed on Xiao Wangyou.
There was a fierce light flashing in his eyes, and when he saw another bolt of lightning falling, the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
Gu Congxing's heart sank.
At this moment, the situation suddenly changed!
The formation that was originally shining with pure silver light suddenly burst out with ferocious blood light, wrapping around Chen Mu's arms inch by inch!
Chen Mu's expression suddenly changed, and the spiritual power around him was in chaos. At this moment, another nine-day thunder roared and struck down!
“Master—”
Lan Jue and Shen Mu both realized something was wrong. They rushed forward, but were stopped outside the Wuji Cliff by a sword light from Shen Mu.
"Don't come over here! If you get hit by this great thunder tribulation, you will be wiped out!"
In the flash of lightning, Shen Mu's face was pale, and his long silver hair was stained with blood!
Gu Congxing was shocked and in pain. He flew closer and saw that the formation that was originally used to strengthen the body protection technique had now been turned into a formation that caused the reverse flow of qi and blood!
There is no doubt that it was Xiao Wangyou who did it!
The Kong family has always been extremely powerful in stealth skills, but how could he hide it from the master's eyes and ears if he made some tricks!
Gu Congxing looked at the black and red blood light, but suddenly sensed the breath of evil.
So that's it! This change was actually mixed with Junior Brother's blood!
The master has always had great trust in his disciples and would personally teach them the art of formations, even asking them to help him draw sealing formations many times. Even if he noticed a change in the formation here, he would just think it was his junior brother coming to reinforce it!
Not to mention, the changes Xiao Wangyou made were extremely clever, and were meant to strengthen the formation. If the demonic energy in the blood hadn't been stimulated by the thunder, it would have been impossible for the formation to be reversed into a murderous formation!
Damn it!
This guy Xiao Wangyou is so cunning!
Purple lightning rolled and struck down, hitting the originally pure white figure one after another, which was shocking.
Gu Cong's heart fell little by little along with the white light in front of him.
By the time ninety-nine and eighty-one thunderbolts struck, Chen Mu's white clothes were already covered in blood. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and half-knelt on the ground with his sword in hand.
“Master——!!”
Lan Jue and Shen Mu, who had been anxious for a long time, flew up and came to his side, but at this moment, several dark shadows appeared on the Wuji Cliff and hit Shen Mu's dantian directly!
“Zheng——”
Lan Jue and Zhong Ming immediately fought back with swords. The two of them fought with three black shadows, and their swords were as powerful as rainbows!
"Who are you? How could you sneak into the Qingxuan Sword Sect?!"
Lan Jue forced the two people in front of him back with a sword and shouted at them harshly.
"We used up a lot of our clan's heavenly-level spiritual treasures to only let three people in. The barrier of this world's number one sect is indeed difficult to deal with."
A leisurely voice broke the tense atmosphere. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiao Wangyou emerging from the darkness with a long sword in hand.
He glanced around and when he saw the scarred Chen Mu, he frowned slightly, a red light flashed in his eyes, and then quickly disappeared.
"Xiao Wangyou?!"
"Why are you here?!"
Lan Jue and Zhong Ming exclaimed at the same time.
Shen Mu's icy blue eyes blinked, reflecting Xiao Wangyou's figure.
“…It’s you.”
Xiao Wangyou stood with a sword in hand, hatred surging in his eyes: "That's right! Chen Mu, I'm here to collect my debt!"
He pointed the tip of his sword at Chen Mu and roared angrily, "Hundreds of my Kong clan members have lost their lives. Today, I will make you pay with blood!"
"What nonsense!"
Lan Jue immediately retorted, "Master has always been upright and honest. How could he do such a thing? Besides, when the Kong family was wiped out, Master was clearly at Zhuoguang Peak!"
Being rebuked so harshly by the always upright Lan Jue, Xiao Wangyou's brows twitched, and then a mocking expression appeared on his face.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't forget, take me back to Qingxuan Sword Sect—"
"But it's you, Lan Jue."
Lan Jue's pupils suddenly shrank and his tone stagnated.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly took out a Heaven-level Talisman and threw it to the ground before anyone could react.
“Swish——”
Black smoke rose up and then condensed like a wall, completely isolating Chen Mu from Lan Jue and Zhong Ming.
The sound of weapons clashing could be heard again around them. Xiao Wangyou was followed by a black-robed monk who slowly walked up to Chen Mu.
By this time, Shen Mu's protective spiritual energy had been shattered, and he had endured eighty-one heavenly thunderbolts with his flesh. His meridians were completely destroyed, and his white clothes were stained with blood, no longer pristine.
But the look he gave Xiao Wangyou was still stern and calm.
"I am not the real murderer of the Kong clan."
"Shut up!" Xiao Wangyou pointed the tip of his sword at Chen Mu's face and interrupted him harshly, "The evidence is irrefutable, yet you still refuse to admit it!"
"Humph! Now you know that it was your eldest disciple who brought me back to the Sword Sect, and it was your youngest disciple who provided me with the blood for the formation modification."
"Chen Mu! You have been abandoned by your most cherished disciples!"
Chen Mu's expression froze when he heard that. He actually stuck the Zhuoguang sword into the ground and forced himself to stand up.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
He held his sword across his chest. Even though the fluctuations of his spiritual energy were minimal, the sword's power remained unmatched. He struck out with his sword, aiming directly at Xiao Wangyou's heart!
"Young Master!" The black shadow shouted, and immediately raised his sword to resist, using his spiritual power to dissolve the sword intent.
Gu Congxing was floating beside Shen Mu at this moment, his hair standing on end with rage. He wished he could show up immediately and behead Xiao Wangyou and the black shadow together!
Xiao Wangyou exchanged a glance with the shadow monk, and immediately flew forward to fight with Shen Mu. The spiritual sword in Shen Mu's hand flipped, and a flash of blood flashed across!
"Ouch!" Xiao Wangyou cried out in pain, his arms pierced by the Zhuoguang sword!
He stared angrily at the bruised and battered Chen Mu, and when his eyes swept across the golden feather tassel at the end of the Zhuoguang sword, his spiritual power erupted!
"Damn you, Chen Mu! You actually used my clan's Phoenix Feather as a sword ornament. This is really too much!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Mu paused.
"...Phoenix Feather?"
Gu Congxing's heart was filled with surging waves, and at that moment he actually had the urge to quit.
However, even if he covered his ears, Xiao Wangyou's voice still penetrated his ears without missing a word.
"Even after being refined and transformed, your sword tassel is still our clan's secret treasure, the Phoenix Feather! The evidence is overwhelming, yet you refuse to admit it and dare to resist stubbornly!"
Shen Mu's icy blue eyes blinked, staring at the golden feathers on his sword in disbelief.
He stretched out his hand to sense it, and the little spiritual energy he had left gradually dissipated, and the blood color on his face completely faded.
He opened his lips, murmured something very softly, and closed his eyes resolutely.
Xiao Wangyou and the shadow monk naturally had no idea what he said, but Gu Congxing was very close to him, so the whisper also fell into his ears.
——From the stars.
——So it’s you…
In an instant, Gu Congxing was heartbroken and tears flowed like a spring.
At this moment, the shadowy figure shouted again, "You are such a jerk! You pretend to be a leader of the righteous sect, but secretly you have murdered over a hundred Kong Clan cultivators! You are so hypocritical, it's disgusting!"
Xiao Wangyou continued, "That's right! At that time, I thought you were really trying to save me, but it turns out you wanted to kill me and take away my roots!"
"No wonder your disciples kept abandoning you!"
"Chen Mu, you really deserve to die!"
At this time, the vast spiritual power in Chen Mu's body had completely dissipated. He clenched the Zhuoguang sword in his right hand, and the veins on his bony hand were clearly visible.
Xiao Wangyou was waiting for Chen Mu to refute him like he did just now, but he only saw Chen Mu keeping silent, with two lines of blood slowly flowing from his eyes.
——Like tears of blood.
"!you?!"
Xiao Wangyou and the shadowy monk were both speechless with shock, but at this moment, a strange spiritual power suddenly burst out from Chen Mu's body, condensing into an ice-blue vine pattern.
The flower in the vine pattern bloomed with six petals, condensed from a spirit into a solid entity, and then shattered with a loud bang.
At the same time, Shen Mu's figure, which was as straight as a bamboo, shook, and fell backwards as if it was broken.
"The Vine of Forgetfulness?!" the black shadow exclaimed.
It's said that the vine pattern absorbs a monk's excess emotions, bringing a calm and peaceful state of mind. The more emotions absorbed, the more petals bloom. However, once the vine pattern solidifies, it signifies that the emotions absorbed by it have overflowed.
Once the vine pattern is broken, the heart of Tao will definitely disappear!
Xiao Wangyou frowned, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Lan Jue and Zhong Ming, who had defeated the other two black shadows, also rushed over quickly. They both heard what Xiao Wangyou and the black shadow monk said, and their eyes were bloodshot.
“Master——!!”
Following their shouts, Shen Mu looked up as if sensing something.
His ice-blue eyes had already turned red, no longer emitting the holy light.
He whispered, "Heaven and earth are unkind..."
"No one will be forgiven."
The corners of his lips curled up silently, with a look of sadness and mockery, and he walked towards Wuji Cliff resolutely.
"Wait, Chen Mu!!!" Xiao Wangyou took a step forward hurriedly.
Lan Jue flew forward, but Chen Mu had already reached the edge of the cliff and jumped down without hesitation!
His fingers slid across the hem of Shen Mu's clothes and stretched out in vain in the air.
“No——!!” Gu Congxing floated in the air, letting out a heart-wrenching roar.
“Master——!!!”
