Chapter 81: Eleven of the Escaped Scholars, Killed, Absolved, or Pardoned
Fu Yannian spoke in a hoarse voice, mixed with some strange excitement, and with unreasonable murderous intent and hatred.
Ji Lingche narrowed his eyes and pondered: "Junior brother..."
What junior brother?
Didn’t the former head of Taihua Yuxu, Master Baoyuan, only have these three direct disciples? Where did Qu Wuji get his senior brother from?
Everyone knows that Fu Yannian came from a small sect.
Before he fell into evil, he was extremely talented. People said he was a phoenix that flew out of the mountains, a child of destiny from a humble family.
How could he be Qu Wu Ji's senior brother?
Then there was a buzzing sound, and evil pressure suddenly rose, and Fu Yannian swung his sword fiercely!
Ye Qingchen's previous injuries in Ping'an Temple had not healed yet, and he was affected by the evil pressure. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness, felt dizzy, and fell off the golden pagoda. Ji Lingche waved his sleeves to help Ye Qingchen stand firm, and he instantly flashed to the top of the golden pagoda.
Qu Wu Ji did not draw his sword, but held the long sword that was emitting evil pressure loosely with his hand, allowing the sword to hang just barely in place, but veins on his hand bulged.
A puff of black smoke rolled along the long sword, like a long tongue, about to bite Qu Wuji's hand -
Ji Lingche waved his sleeves again, and the black smoke was flicked away.
She could see that Qu Wu Ji didn't want to hurt this person, so she didn't use any strong force, but just repelled the evil spirit.
But before she could do anything, Fu Yannian suddenly flew into a rage. He saw someone suddenly coming to help, and without caring who the person was, he cursed the person as a nosy bitch who didn't know the rules.
Before the man could finish his curse, Ji Lingche suddenly kicked him in the heart. The three spiritual forces collided and spread out with a buzzing sound. Ji Lingche's clothes rustled violently and he kicked the man off the golden pagoda.
Fu Yannian fell to the ground and retreated repeatedly, almost falling down. As soon as he stabilized himself, he vomited blood. He supported himself on the ground with his sword and gasped heavily.
He raised his head and looked up at the golden pagoda with a cold gaze. Only then did he see clearly who was standing next to Qu Wuji, and his breath stopped.
In just a moment, the demonic energy in his body grew stronger, and black mist gradually filled his eyes, almost covering the entire whites of his eyes, as if he had completely fallen into demonic possession.
Ji Lingche thought to himself, has the body been taken over by the devil?
Qu Wu Ji held back just now because he was afraid of provoking him again, but now Ji Lingche kicked him into the devil's barrier, and the situation suddenly became complicated.
She pursed her lips and said only: "Your hand is too heavy."
"It's okay," Qu Wuji lowered his eyes and looked at the person under the tower, "If he keeps pestering me like this, he will eventually fall into the devil's way."
The wind from above blew into her clothes, causing them to flutter. Ji Lingche said, "Be careful. This person can open a hole in the ground that could create an abyss. He might even summon demons."
Qu Wuji's voice was cold, yet it carried a certain firmness that brooked no refusal: "Don't worry about me, just go first."
"People from the Immortal Alliance are coming—"
Ji Lingche chuckled: "What are you here for? Are you here to attack me?"
"But why should I leave?"
Qu Wu Ji suddenly grabbed her wrist, squeezing it so hard that it hurt her wrist bone.
She raised her eyebrows and said in a cold tone, "You are afraid that I will fight with them, and it will be difficult for you as the head of the Immortal Alliance, right?"
"Qu Wuji, are you going to draw a line between you and me?"
Qu Wuji turned his head and looked at her in surprise. He murmured, "You..."
"How could you think that?"
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, so severe that he couldn't say anything.
But Ji Lingche didn't look at him. He was a little annoyed and was about to shake off his hand.
Qu Wuji tightly grasped her wrist, swallowed hard, and whispered, "Alan, how could you miss me like this?"
"I just—"
I just can't bear to see you being wronged, and I don't want you to get hurt again...
"Okay," Ji Lingche interrupted him softly. Qu Wuji choked, then she softened her tone and whispered, "Shang Zheng, you know I won't leave."
"It's rare that they have such courage. Wouldn't it be disappointing if I left?"
"After so many years, it's time to put an end to it."
Qu Wuji pulled her closer, but only said: "...You knew that I didn't mean that, but you deliberately used words to hurt me."
Ji Lingche looked up and saw that he was frowning, his face was pale, and some cold sweat was oozing from his forehead. She couldn't help but startled and said, "You——"
"Is your injury still hurting?"
Only then did she notice the strangeness in his expression and asked in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep enduring it?"
He turned his eyes away, released the hand that was holding her wrist, and said lightly: "I'm fine."
Ji Lingche was about to say something else when at this moment he heard a sharp sword sound, the sound of the sword breaking through the air as its power was pushed to its extreme.
Fu Yannian leaped up again and swung his sword at the two of them. The violent sword wind seemed to cut them in half!
Ji Lingche grasped the air, and the Shatuan Sword instantly appeared in his hand. With a humming sound, it collided with the sword in Fu Yannian's hand.
She only used about 40% of her spiritual power. The two sword intentions collided, and a strong wind blew. The golden tower under her feet began to shake violently, and then began to collapse from top to bottom. In just a moment, the huge golden tower disintegrated and collapsed with a loud bang.
Several people no longer relied on each other for support and hung in the air. Fu Yannian was caught in the murderous sword intent, and his clothes were torn by the sword wind, fluttering like rags in the strong wind. After just a few back and forths, Ji Lingche's long sword suddenly pointed at his throat, and the powerful spiritual pressure forced Fu Yannian to be unable to move.
Ji Lingche raised the corner of his mouth and said, "A defeated general will always be a defeated general.
Fu Yannian couldn't stand hearing such words the most. In his life, winning and losing were the most important things to him. In the end, he became obsessed and fell into the devil's way.
At this moment, the devil's heart has taken over his body, his Tao heart has been lost, and his body is controlled by the inner demon. Hearing such words, the black miasma on his body became stronger, and almost his entire eyes were covered with miasma -
At this moment, Ji Lingche suddenly discovered that his cultivation level began to skyrocket, his spiritual power fluctuated violently, and the Shatuan sword spirit was affected and began to become restless.
She was shocked and thought to herself, no wonder people whose bodies are taken over by inner demons are difficult to deal with. Once they fall into the demon, they must be punished with death to avoid any trouble.
It turned out that the inner demon, under stimulation, would actually continue to fuel his cultivation. He lost his mind and was driven only by his obsession to kill people. However, when his obsession was not fulfilled, the inner demon became more and more vigorous.
——Won’t his cultivation level continue to grow along with his inner demons?
She narrowed her eyes and thought to herself that the best thing to do would be to slit his throat with a sword while he was still under control.
But Fu Yannian has too many secrets, not to mention him and Qu Wuji——
He was distracted for a moment, and heard a "clang" sound, and Fu Yannian suddenly flicked his sleeve to strike the Sha Tuan sword. Ji Lingche turned his wrist and withdrew the sword, making Fu Yannian's move fail.
Qu Wuji appeared and pointed at the big hole between his ribs. Fu Yannian froze for a moment. Qu Wuji moved as fast as lightning, and his fingertips channeled spiritual power to quickly seal all the spiritual veins in his body!
The black mist in Fu Yannian's eyes actually faded away, and he seemed to be clearer, and a hoarse sound came out of his mouth.
Qu Wuji tapped his forehead with his fingertips, continuously pouring spiritual power into his sea of consciousness, suppressing the inner demon that occupied his mind inch by inch.
Ji Lingche's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly noticed the faint blue veins on the back of Qu Wuji's hand. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he realized that even using his spiritual power would cause him excruciating pain.
She felt bitter and inexplicably uncomfortable.
She gently placed her hand on Qu Wuji's shoulder, and her spiritual power flowed down his shoulder, soothing his spiritual veins bit by bit, helping him to seal Fu Yannian's evil heart.
Sealing the devil's heart consumes a lot of spiritual energy, rarely succeeds, and is prone to backlash, so people who have fallen into the devil are usually killed directly and rarely converted.
At this moment, Ji Lingche suddenly felt something unusual.
Qu Wuji only whispered, "His spiritual power is fluctuating strangely, be careful."
Ji Lingche had a sharp sense and he lowered his eyes, only to see a black hole suddenly opened on the ground, like a large swamp, thin and muddy, with something seeming to be surging inside, and the hole was still expanding at an alarming speed.
She had seen this kind of thing before when she was in the Imperial Mausoleum Palace in Shangjing, but the entrance to the abyss at that time was far less large than it is now.
At that time, Fu Yannian appeared in the palace, and she was in Hua Wanwan's body. She was no match for him, but this man only wanted to lure her to the imperial mausoleum and did not want to kill her, so he held back.
She looked at the rapidly expanding entrance and thought to herself, this person is indeed not a simple person.
Fu Yannian regained his consciousness, but did not stop. Instead, he went all out and summoned demons to try to turn the tide of the battle.
All I saw was a pair of eyes with very small pupils, almost entirely white, which looked extremely sinister. Anyone would feel uneasy if he stared at them.
Qu Wu Ji no longer tried to convert him.
As the spiritual power of the finger that was pointing at his forehead was withdrawn, the black mist in Fu Yannian's eyes suddenly rose again. The inner demon instantly gained the upper hand, and the hole in the ground that could release the demon expanded even faster.
Qu Wu Ji suddenly attacked, grabbed his neck, and tightened his grip suddenly. Veins popped out on the back of his hand, as if he was hesitating whether to kill him right then and there.
Ji Lingche saw his hands trembling slightly, and knowing his inner struggle, he whispered, "Was he once your senior brother?"
Qu Wuji said after a long while, "He was once my uncle's eldest disciple, but he was expelled very early."
"He himself considered this a great disgrace and humiliation, never mentioned it to anyone else, and he also distanced himself from Taihua Yuxu. Therefore, few people know about this matter..."
Ji Lingche was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself, Qu Wuji's uncle? Isn't that person——
But there was no time to think about it. At this moment, I heard a noise and saw a large golden cloud roaring towards me in the distance.
Locusts are common.
Those people from the Immortal Alliance have arrived.
Ji Lingche looked up at it from afar, pursed his lips, and seemed to be very interested.
She thought to herself that when the demons were sealed, these people were not very active, but they were enjoying defeating the demons.
But in fact, everyone in the Immortal Alliance also has their own ulterior motives and has a lot of thoughts on their mind.
During the days when the Lord Chief was missing, their lives were really hard. The major families began to fight internally, and the sects began to swallow each other up. Everyone took advantage of the fact that the Immortal Alliance was leaderless and the laws were weak to frantically grab benefits for themselves, and threw all the unity and justice out of the window.
They just thought that the affairs of the demons could not be controlled or changed, but the immediate benefits were real!
The way of heaven may not necessarily be destroyed, and the demons may not necessarily destroy the world, but if you don’t take a bite of the snack in front of you, you will never be able to eat it again in the future.
Those people who came didn't necessarily have any great hatred towards Ji Lingche, but they just had to come.
They didn't come here to denounce any evildoer, because those who had a blood feud with Ji Lingche had already been killed by her.
These people came here just to take this opportunity to kneel down and admit their mistakes to the Lord, and then try to find a way to reconcile with the evil cultivator. After all, the law does not punish the masses.
Even if the devil is so evil, can he really kill them all?
But those people from the Immortal Alliance never dreamed that before they saw the person they wanted to see, when they looked down, they saw demons crawling all over the ground.
ah……
I really want to turn back, is it still too late...?
Ji Lingche looked up and saw that the golden cloud had stopped. Those people were standing in the air with their swords, each of them was silent as a mouse, and they didn't dare to come down, as if they were going to go home on the spot.
Qu Wuji pinched Fu Yannian's neck with one hand, and with the other hand, he grasped the air, drew out a lightsaber, and slashed it fiercely at the golden cloud in the sky.
The "golden cloud" withered away in an instant, and the man and the sword fell down with a crash, hitting the ground and colliding with the demons that kept crawling out.
Qu Wuji's voice was filled with anger, his tone chilling to the bone. He spoke word for word in everyone's consciousness: "Those who escape will be killed without mercy."
