"Li Jianxin! You come out here!"
For three days in a row, Linghu Ming searched almost the entire city of Chang'an for Li Jianxin's whereabouts.
Along the way, everywhere I looked, people dressed in mourning clothes were flocking towards the Hongyan Pagoda.
Finally, Linghu Ming met Li Jianxin by a long corridor by a lake.
The green bamboo was drawn from its sheath, emitting a soft clanging sound.
Linghu Ming glared angrily at Li Jianxin.
"Haha, junior brother, you must be exhausted after searching for me for three days and three nights, right?"
Li Jianxin turned around and looked at the exhausted Linghu Ming with amusement.
"Why! Why did you side with Jiuyou? Why did you poison Brother Shen!"
Faced with Linghu Ming's questioning, Li Jianxin replied casually, "Why? Because I want revenge!"
"revenge?"
"right!"
Li Jianxin's expression was ferocious, and his face became extremely distorted.
"The day Li Minshuang kicked me out of Taibai Tower, I secretly swore an oath..."
One day I will stand at a higher vantage point than him and repay her for the humiliation she brought me, bit by bit!
I'm going to destroy everything she cherishes, including you!
Linghu Ming gritted his teeth: "So, you've sided with Jiuyou?"
"That's right! Only after joining the Nine Netherworld did I realize how powerful the peak strength truly is."
To gain that power, I'm willing to be their lackey.
It's all so that one day, we can completely trample Taibai Tower under our feet.
Let Li Mingshuang truly experience what it feels like to lose everything—whether she can bear it!
Linghu Ming: "Your master values you so much and likes you so much, yet you treat her like this?"
"Hahaha!"
Lee Minshuang's face was almost distorted from smiling.
"My silly junior brother, you are really incredibly foolish. Don't you know that the person Master truly loves is you?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Linghu Ming was furious.
"Am I talking nonsense?"
Li Jianxin's face darkened.
"Every time we practice swordsmanship together, does Li Mingshuang always stand at a distance and smile at us? Actually, she's smiling for you!"
Many times in the middle of the night, I secretly found Lee Minshuang sitting on the roof opposite your window, sighing at your sleeping posture.
He mended my clothes in advance so I could prepare myself for the duties I would have as your wife in the future. My dear junior colleague.
If you looked closer, you'd realize that Li Minshuang's gaze towards you is completely different from ours; it's just that you're foolish and naive.
Your stupidity makes me jealous, and makes me want to force Li Minshuang on you right in front of me.
Hahaha, why? What makes you think you deserve Minshuang's love? You've always been inferior to me in every way since we were little.
So what if you come from a better background than me? Why do you get everything I want so easily?
Why should I?!
Linghu Ming's sword stance shifted: "Don't disturb my peace of mind, Li Jianxin. You've betrayed the Nine Netherworld, harmed my brothers, and abandoned your sect!"
"Today, for both public and private reasons, I must eliminate this scourge of arousal!"
"You?"
Li Jianxin shook his head and looked Linghu Ming up and down.
"In all these years of being fellow disciples, have you ever beaten me even once?"
“How do you know if you don’t try?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the light of the green sword shone brightly.
Linghu Ming swung his sword, aiming straight for Li Jianxin's vital point.
"Since you're seeking death yourself, don't blame me!"
Li Jianxin drew a jet-black, evil sword and lunged at Linghu Ming.
...
“Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk Fahai greets Master Cihai.”
After waiting for two days, Fahai finally met Cihai in front of Baochan Temple.
"You are Fahai?"
Cihai was quite surprised to see Fahai in person.
Isn't this one of the three people I saw outside Qingyang City?
"What business do you have with me?"
"Amitabha, this humble monk wishes to ask the master for help in jointly eliminating Chang'an's forces in the Nine Netherworld."
"Um?"
Cihai frowned, a hint of doubt in his eyes as he looked at Fahai.
"How do you require my assistance?"
Fahai replied, "With the help of the Buddha lamp in your hand, Master, we will seal the barrier of the Nine Netherworld Passage and set up the Medicine Buddha Glazed Tile Array as a precaution. Amitabha."
Cihai: "It is the duty of our Buddhist sect to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. Since the emergence of the Nine Netherworld will inevitably bring endless calamities, how can I stand aside? Please lead the way, fellow Buddhist."
“Amitabha Buddha, Master, please follow me.”
...
"My husband, did you see? The entire population of Chang'an has come to mourn for you."
"This is what you deserve, the honor that belongs to you. I've brought it back for you. Now, can you accept me?"
Mu Qiuyao looked at the dense crowd of people dressed in plain clothes below the tower and muttered to herself.
Three days have passed, and her last glimmer of hope has finally been shattered.
Shen Zhao is really dead.
With Shen Zhao's death, Mu Qiuyao's heart died as well.
"My husband, please wait a little longer. I will come down and be with you after I get rid of those last two freaks."
“The entire city of Chang’an is our tomb, and I will make all the living beings in the city be buried with us.”
"Whether you blame me or scold me, this is the last thing I can do to make amends for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous roar echoed through the void.
Immediately afterwards, evil clouds descended, and the world darkened.
Mu Qiuyao snorted coldly, watching the two figures falling from the sky with an expressionless face.
"Mu Qiuyao!"
Yuan Huo let out an angry shout.
"You murdered fifteen of my fellow practitioners; today you should pay for their deaths!"
Cang Shen stepped forward and, seeing the tombstones of Shen Zhao and Mu Qiuyao, couldn't help but let out a cold laugh: "Very good, you've even prepared your own tombstones. It seems you've already made up your minds."
