Having just arrived in this world, I know not the bitterness of life.
"Elder You, I'm sorry."
Along with this apology came the sudden appearance of the Immortal Binding Rope and the Immortal-Slaying Blade piercing his heart.
Then came Zhaohua, tears welling in her eyes, clutching a dagger. She kept saying sorry and repeatedly plunged the dagger into his chest.
"Holy crap..." You Youju looked up at the mountain peak, and sure enough, Cangzhou Shui was watching everything that was happening there.
Elder Guichen!?
"Help from Chaoyun Mountain! Elder Guichen has been ambushed by that little girl!"
Even if Zhao Hua had an overwhelming desire for revenge, she was still just an orange tree spirit with mediocre magical power. She didn't even need any experts; any disciple from a cultivation sect could easily send her flying with a wave of their hand, and she would be pinned to the ground by the crowd.
"Master!!!!!"
Chao Lan pushed through the crowd, severed the Immortal Binding Rope, and held You Youju in his arms. He hurriedly took out a pill from his Qiankun bag and fed it to You Youju.
He had been worried that You Youju would be hurt again, so he incorporated one-tenth of his own power into this pill, hoping that nothing unpredictable would happen again.
You Youju was speechless, almost convulsing as he struggled to breathe. He reached out and grasped Chaolan's hand.
"Get out of here!! All of you, get out of here!!"
Then Zhu Xun arrived and swung his palms away, sending the people surrounding the master and disciple flying. He heard Chao Lan's roar and stepped forward with a heavy heart.
Cang Zhoushui was already waiting there: "How dare you! How can you, a mere brat, harm my clansmen so casually!"
Zhu Xun's eyes were already bloodshot: "I'll slaughter your entire Chaoyun Mountain, believe it or not!"
Cangzhou Shui was not angry, but smiled instead. That girl really hadn't lied to him.
Chao Lan seemed to have collapsed, her face no longer showing her usual gentleness, but instead displaying an extremely sorrowful expression: "The Immortal-Slaying Blade, how could it be the Immortal-Slaying Blade?"
Zhu asked, "What is the Immortal-Slaying Blade?"
Cang Zhou Shui continued, "The Immortal-Slaying Blade is the first peerless magic weapon that Chao Lan forged. Once it is pierced, the surrounding meridians will be severed, and there will be no chance of recovery."
Zhu Xun angrily asked Chao Lan, "How did your things end up here?!"
Chao Lan stopped talking, holding You Youju and relentlessly channeling her inner energy into him.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Cang Zhoushui stepped forward and stopped him, saying, "Huai Jing, stop! If this continues, both you and your master will explode and die!"
Zhu Xun grabbed Chi Yan by the neck, his face contorted with rage: "Tell me your plan now. If anything happens to him today, none of you will survive."
Cangzhou Shuidao said, "This matter is extremely risky. I need the two of you to stand by my side and protect me. Only I can retrieve the blade on the spot." After saying this, he nodded to Chaolan, his expression earnest, fearing that she might not trust him.
Zhu Xun threatened, "What if you have ulterior motives?" He looked at Chao Lan as if seeking confirmation. Chao Lan, at a loss, supported You Youju and, in desperation, said, "This blade was forged under Elder Cang's guidance. Now we have no choice but to give it a try."
Zhu Xun was so angry that his teeth itched. He lashed out at Cang Zhou Shui with his whip and joined forces with Chao Lan to protect the Dharma.
You Youju had already fainted from the pain, and was completely at the mercy of others, as if she were dead.
"Yaoguang! Form the formation!" Zhu Xun commanded. He coldly surveyed the vast crowd: "If he dies, you will all be buried with him."
Although everyone felt a chill run down their spines, they were not to be outdone and quickly set up their defensive formations, ready to meet the attack.
"Hmph hmph hmph haha ...
Upon hearing this, the two turned around abruptly to look at You Youju, only to see Cang Zhoushui reach into the back of You Youju's neck and shout at Lan, "What are you doing!?"
"Aaaaaaah!!" Yu Youju, who was already unconscious, was awakened by the sudden pain and almost instinctively tried to avoid it and scream.
"Don't come any closer!" Cang Zhou Shui interrupted when he saw that the two had broken their protective barrier. "If you come any closer, I will just pull out his spine and make him suffer to death."
After saying that, he looked at Chao Lan, his eyes twisted with malice: "Huai Jing, quick! Come with me and draw the Purple Emperor Sword to kill this brat."
Youyouju's head drooped, and the white bone that had been pulled out was clearly visible at the back of his neck, alternating between the bone and the hilt of the sword.
Seeing the situation turning against her, Zhao Hua tried to sow discord: "Zhu Xun, are you stupid! They just want Gui Chen dead. Just hand over the Floating Rain Jade and say you have no ulterior motives, and everything will be fine!!" She shouted hoarsely, "Hand it over now!!!"
Zhu Xun frowned, and then could no longer hear Zhao Hua's cries. Zhu Xun and Chao Lan exchanged a glance, their unspoken understanding unspoken.
At the speed of light, Cangzhoushui lost his strength and fell to the ground, his severed arm still clutching the hilt of the sword.
Zhu Xun hugged You Youju, tears streaming down her face, dripping onto You Youju's hair.
In the next second, Chao Lan rushed forward and punched Cang Zhoushui repeatedly in the face without stopping. Her eyes were red, and blood splattered all over her face.
Cang Zhou Shui cursed intermittently, "You...traitor!"
It was as if they were pronouncing Chaolan's crimes.
"You! You have violated the sect rules!"
"...Disobeying the master's orders!"
"Interfering...with the royal family!"
His voice grew softer and softer, yet he remained stubborn, his old face almost unrecognizable.
Many people stepped forward to stop Chaolan, but he blocked them all with his spiritual power. Tears streaming down his face, he relentlessly threw the stones. He hated. He hated!
"You murdered your brother and father!"
“You helped your imperial sister… um!” Chao Lan’s eyes were filled with fear, and Cang Zhou Shui laughed, “Your imperial sister should not have become empress in this life.”
Chao Lan slammed her fist into the open ground beside her. Even though Cang Zhou Shui was covered in blood and gore, he still murmured like a vengeful ghost, "Did you ever think about cause and effect back then?"
Looking at Chao Lan's panting face, Cang Zhou Shui laughed. That bloodied, mangled face, teeth embedded in her eyebrows, he laughed: "You and your master have both gambled your lives on a predetermined fate. So why did you hurt me when I helped you?"
With his final punch, imbued with spiritual power, Cang Zhoushui could no longer speak, though that terrifying smile remained on his face.
It was destined.
Chao Lan stood up like a walking corpse, turned around, and saw that apart from Chao Yunshan's familiar face filled with terror, everyone else was pointing their swords at him. He glanced at where Zhu Xun was, then strode towards You Youju, walking through the swords that no one could avoid.
He discovered that You Youju was lying in Zhu Xun's arms, looking at him and crying.
Without saying anything more, Zhu Xun raised his other hand and hurled it at the crowd not far away.
Chaolan blocked it.
Zhu Xun glared angrily: "I don't have time to play along with your act right now!"
Chao Lan neither cried nor laughed, her expression remained unchanged: "You can't kill them."
Zhu Xun sneered, "Ungrateful wretch." He then launched another attack into the distance, but fortunately, the sect had set up an array beforehand, so only the attack landed, and no one died.
Several sect leaders shouted at Chao Lan, "Chao Lan!! What are you doing! Your master is already dying! Quickly draw the Purple Emperor Sword!"
Zhu Xun was furious and determined to crush those scumbags to the bone with this one blow.
Suddenly, Zhu Xun felt someone press down on his hand. It was You Youju. Rather than pressing, it was more like gently placing his hand on it.
Zhu Xun and Chao Lan were both surprised and watched him silently.
"Help me up. Don't hurt them."
Chao Lan quickly stepped forward and, together with Zhu Xun, helped You Youju up, one on each side.
When You Youju was able to stand on his own, he pushed the two of them away with all his might, though he didn't move them at all.
You Youju pointed to the demon's palanquin on the horizon: "Zhu Xun, go there. Your uncle can handle all of this."
Zhu Xun refused to leave, but You Youju gently pushed him again: "I will go with you later, let's go back."
Hearing this, Zhu Xun softened and returned to the camp that was "enemy" of him.
Chao Lan was deeply hurt. He didn't speak, just looked at him and let him do as he pleased.
You Youju rested her head on his shoulder, panting heavily, her back drenched in sweat.
My chest doesn't hurt as much anymore; thankfully, that girl held back.
He was catching his breath as he waited for the next sentence.
His forehead was wet; Chaolan was quietly shedding tears as she pressed her forehead against his.
You Youju raised her hand to wipe away the bloodstains, tears streaming down her face.
Chao Lan felt bitter and astringent. He watched as his master was about to leave and was injured. What had he done?
Has he lost the courage to break free of the Immortal Binding Rope for his master?
"Master, I'm sorry." After thinking it over, he could only utter these few words. He only wanted to apologize, and could only apologize.
You Youju patted his cheek: "You've already provided me with a protective shield."
You Youju pointed to the location of the Chaoyun Mountain Sect, saying, "I believe in my master."
Chao Lan slowly walked away, and You Youju, losing his support, almost fell. He was really out of strength, so he took out a megaphone and held it in mid-air.
"Please excuse my poor appearance. Over the past century, many lives have been lost because of the Purple Emperor Sword. Now that all the items are in their proper places, it is time for them to fulfill their mission."
Everyone stared intently at You Youju, except for Chaolan and Zhuxun, who were restless.
You Youju took a deep breath; he felt so tired.
“I did not intend to be a selfless philanthropist, but having received so much kindness from others while sitting in this immortal realm, I dare not disregard the lives of others.”
Now, it's time to end all of this!
He looked at Chaolan one last time: "Stand still!"
Chao Lan was immediately immobilized. He resisted violently, but this was a sect curse!
Zhu Xun was already running towards You Youju's direction.
You Youju reached behind his neck and, with his last ounce of strength, pulled Zihuang out. Although, with his strength, he could only manage half of it.
"You Youju!!! I won't allow it!!!"
"Master, no!!"
"Return to dust!"
As the two figures drew ever closer, he swallowed a mouthful of blood, gritted his teeth, and risked his life to break the sword in two. The Purple Emperor, a divine sword that had not yet taken shape and shimmered with blood and bone, was thus broken in two, reduced to bare white bones.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!"
"Oh my god! The sword guardian spirit has broken its sword!"
"You beast! How could this heartless bastard do such a thing!"
"madman!"
"......"
You Youju's vision went black and she collapsed.
Snow blanketed the ground; winter had arrived so quickly. A thick layer of frost covered Yundi Peak. Chaolan had gone to the Demon Realm to find Zhu Xun, only to hear that the current Demon Emperor was a new one, named Yaoguang Immortal Lord.
This is Chao Lan's last time ascending Yun Di Peak. From this day forward, he will no longer be a disciple of the immortal sect, nor will he be a war god.
His senior disciples asked him to stay, but he refused. He wanted to go back to the bamboo forest to find his master.
"Your Majesty, Cen Chaolan has come again."
Zhu Xun was feeding You Youju medicine. He wiped You Youju's mouth, gave him a deep look, and said to the person outside the door, "Let him in."
He pressed You Youju's hand against his cheek. That face hadn't opened its eyes for a long time, and the red mole on it looked as lifeless as Zhu Xun's unarmed body that day, lying in the white snow.
"Why was I forced to accept all of this? In the end, what I truly need is leaving me. Uncle, please wake up and tell me, okay?"
