Chapter 86 Feixue Ergu Tower Master's Monocle
"So, now I'll give you a chance to reconsider." Yin Su said.
The veins on Ji Lingche's hands were tense, and his fingertips turned white from exerting too much force.
Yin Su's hand covered the back of her knife-holding hand, pushing the knife against her dantian further away.
The sound of the wind pierced Ji Lingche's ears, causing his head to split with pain, and a bloody smell in his throat.
She was so angry that she suddenly wanted to kill the man in front of her immediately.
Yin Su smiled faintly and said, "So, I'm not discussing this with you."
"You don't have a choice, do you?"
Yin Su opened her palms again, blood trickling down her slender fingers. "I don't want much."
"Golden Pill, bring it over."
Demons wailed incessantly everywhere, human voices shouted in unison, and the sound of weapons breaking through the air was endless.
A red light flickered in the darkness, as if a fire was spreading.
The dagger in Ji Lingche's hand turned into green smoke and dissipated. She pulled her hand away and swung her sleeves violently, pushing Yin Su back repeatedly.
Yin Su finally stood firm and raised his hand again to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Ji Lingche held the golden elixir in his palm, which was burning hot and almost scorching.
Her breathing gradually calmed down, and she suppressed her rising emotions. Finally, she calmed down and took advantage of this opportunity to quickly think about it in her mind -
First, what Yin Su said may not be true.
Ji Lingche didn't know how many people the demon fetus had parasitized, and she had no way of identifying it. This person was probably making up stories to scare her and create panic.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to find out the truth of her words and not lose our composure and be led by the nose.
Second, Ji Lingche knew that even if he gave her the golden elixir, this person would not remove the restrictions on Qu Wuji.
At most, he would just seal the spell temporarily, thus blackmailing her for a long time.
Yin Su would not let go of this handle that could restrain her so easily.
What's more, if this person lifted the restriction, Ji Lingche would kill her the next moment. How could Yin Su not know this?
Third, what exactly is that demon fetus, and why does Yin Su collude with demons?
At that time in the imperial mausoleum, Yin Su once said that she was not in league with demons. If what she said was true, then she must have had other purposes in doing so.
So what is the purpose of her actions?
Ji Lingche vaguely realized that there must be someone behind this person directing him, and she was just a puppet standing in front of the stage.
Who is the person behind all this?
What is their ultimate intention?
Demon fetuses are vicious and evil, and most demons are stupid. Even the demon lord cannot come up with so many twists and turns.
Therefore, from cultivating the demon fetus to parasitism, it must be man-made.
At this point, it seems like we are fighting against demons, but in fact, it is still a fight between people.
The fourth point is also the most urgent issue to be resolved.
She had to find out why this person wanted to get this golden elixir at any cost.
The fact that Yin Su was so obsessed with this shows how important this thing is.
What would happen if the golden elixir really fell into her hands?
…
In any case, the more unfavorable the situation is, the more we must not show weakness.
What she has to do now is...
The guest becomes the host.
Ji Lingche's thoughts passed quickly. With a flick of her eyes, she chuckled coldly and said, "Is this all you have?"
She pointed at the people on the training ground and said, "Go spread the word! Tell those people that they will soon turn into demons. Let them join you in dealing with me."
As she spoke, she slowly walked forward, casually tossing the golden elixir in her hand up and catching it again.
"I'd really like to see the expressions on those people's faces when they find out about this. It must be quite interesting to watch."
With every step she took, the pressure grew stronger.
"Do you think I care about their life or death?"
"You're threatening me with this kind of thing. Have you forgotten who I am?"
Ji Lingche stepped forward. Yin Su couldn't breathe. He felt that the air around him had solidified and stopped flowing. His chest kept rising and falling.
She couldn't help but step back until she had nowhere to retreat and her back hit the railing.
Ji Lingche held the golden elixir nonchalantly, curled up the corners of his mouth, and waded out of the darkness step by step.
She chuckled, "You have to know that I want to kill those demons, not to save sentient beings."
"Whether those people live or die has nothing to do with me."
She stood in front of Yin Su and said softly, "I do this only because I want to fight the Heavenly Dao to the end."
"The Way of Heaven wants to destroy the world, but I insist on upholding the destiny of all living beings." Her tone became softer and softer, yet it made people's scalps tingle. "Fighting against people, fighting against fate, fighting against the Way of Heaven."
"I sacrificed Ling Che to prove my truth through killing. Whether I kill demons or humans, it's all the same to me."
"So, the more you raise the stakes, the more interesting it becomes to me."
Yin Su raised his head slightly and suddenly felt terrified.
Ji Lingche raised his hand, and the back of his hand touched her cold golden mask. He slowly stroked it and said slowly, "Tell me, what are you going to do with this golden elixir?"
Yin Su stared at her coldly for a long time, and her rapid breathing slowly calmed down.
She only said: "It's no use scaring me."
"Since you don't care about the Immortal Alliance or the demon fetus, then I will stimulate the demon fetuses in their bodies now. What do you think?"
"Since you like to have fun so much, I will grant you your wish."
"Just let them kill each other here—"
Ji Lingche raised his eyebrows when he heard that, and his hand moved down to lightly pinch her neck, as if he was going to twist her head off at the next moment.
Yin Su said this but did not move. His eyes fell on her face, observing her expression.
Although Ji Lingche's expression was cold, the smile on his face became more and more intense, as if he really found it funny.
The two of them tested each other and tried to control each other, and for a while they were stuck in a stalemate.
Ji Lingche's hand on her neck tightened inch by inch——
At this moment, a blue light suddenly flashed, and a woman in blue appeared on the platform.
Yin Lanxin only said: "Give her the golden elixir."
Ji Lingche paused, loosened his hand that was pinching Yin Su's neck, and frowned, "What did you say?"
The air rushed in suddenly, and Yin Su started coughing and couldn't straighten up for a long time.
Yin Lanxin's expression was indifferent as she slowly said, "What she said is true. More than half of the people in the current Immortal Alliance have parasites in their golden cores."
"If you really push her to the limit, tonight will be really lively."
Ji Lingche's breathing stagnated and he looked at her in disbelief.
Yin Lanxin said nonchalantly, "I know you don't care about the lives of those people."
"But now that chaos has occurred, without any preparation, it is really dangerous."
"Besides, if the Immortal Alliance collapses tonight, you will lose your support and will be completely defeated. So, why bother to fight to the death? We need to consider this matter carefully—"
"Give her the things and let her take the golden elixir and leave." Yin Lanxin said quickly.
Ji Lingche frowned, pondered Yin Lanxin's words carefully, and quickly figured out a strategy.
After a long moment, she raised her hand, pointed at Yin Su, and said, "I know you won't remove Qu Wuji's restrictions. Fine, I won't force you."
"If you want to take the golden elixir with you, fine. But I'm also going to cast a curse on you. If you dare to make Qu Wuji sad, you won't have an easy life either."
The stalemate is over, and the only way to achieve balance is to check and balance each other.
Yin Su looked at the two of them, slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "Okay."
The bone-eroding curse was controlled by the master of the spell. Yin Su withdrew the spell. Although the restriction was still there, Qu Wu Ji would no longer be tortured by it.
In order to give him a taste of his own medicine, Ji Lingche also cast a curse on this man.
She gripped Yin Su's wrist tightly, as if she wanted to crush her wrist bones, and said word by word: "If you dare to activate the bone-eroding curse again, I will let you know what it means to be worse than death."
Yin Su naturally knew Ji Lingche's methods, so he didn't say anything more. He took the golden elixir as he wished, retreated, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
When Ji Lingche saw that the man had completely left, he immediately turned back to Qu Wuji and helped him up.
He hadn't regained consciousness yet, and was covered in cold sweat. His face was pale, and his palms were bloody with deep nail marks. She could imagine how much pain he was in to be like that.
Ji Lingche hugged him sadly and said softly, "Qu Wuji..."
The body temperature in her arms gradually warmed up, and his furrowed brows slowly relaxed. The pain in his dantian finally subsided, and he fell into a deep sleep in her arms.
Yin Lanxin walked forward slowly, as if she saw something incomprehensible: "Uh..."
"……All right."
Ji Lingche ignored her sarcasm and simply said, "Do you know what she's going to do with the golden elixir?"
Yin Lanxin seemed to have no emotion and said calmly: "Oh, with this golden elixir, she can release the demon lord."
Ji Lingche suddenly raised his eyes: "What did you say?! How could you——"
Yin Lanxin snorted and frowned, "Don't make noise."
She said slowly, "Just let it out if you want."
"Aren't you just planning to fight it?"
Sacrificing Lingche: "..."
Yin Lanxin: "By the way, let me remind you, don't forget to pull out the Crow Feather Sword in advance, otherwise when the Demon Lord breaks the seal again, your sword will collapse."
Ji Lingche looked at Yin Lanxin in disbelief, only to see her blue clothes fluttering in the wind, heartless and desireless, truly like a green ghost.
Yin Lanxin gathered her sleeves and said, "How was it? Was it enough fun tonight?"
Ji Lingche said after a long while: "...I think you are really sick."
Yin Lanxin was at her ease and chuckled, "You're welcome."
Ji Lingche held Qu Wuji's hand and slowly injected spiritual power into him to soothe his spiritual veins and repair the damaged areas.
He only said faintly, "What should we do about the demon fetus?"
Yin Lanxin looked around and suddenly said, "A while ago, I met Gu Chaoyin."
"He accused you to me, saying you were a robber."
Ji Lingche was surprised when he heard this and sneered, "That bastard! He would throw dirty water on me."
"The last time we met was in Fengdu City. I just took a few pieces of gold paper from him."
Yin Lanxin chuckled: "You only took a few pieces of gold paper? Think about it again."
Ji Lingche frowned. Seeing this, Yin Lanxin raised her finger to point at her eyes, then tapped her eye sockets gently and said, "Didn't you take a monocle with you?"
"Now where did you put that thing, did you lose it?"
Ji Lingche was stunned, as if he suddenly remembered something.
At that time, it was in the White Jade Tower in Fengdu City that she met Gu Chaoyin for the first time. He had a monocle on his nose, which he used to cheat by looking at cards. Later, that thing was snatched away by her.
She vaguely remembered looking through that lens, and by adjusting the distance of the lens, she could see different levels of things.
When you look at the cabinet, you can see the things in the cabinet through the lens.
Looking at the captive little bird, you can see its crisscrossing blood vessels and bright red blood.
When she looks at people through this lens...
Her eyes moved, and she understood something. According to Yin Lanxin's meaning, when this lens looks at a person, it can see the dantian...
She let out a long "Ah" and then her voice became lower and lower: "But, it seems that the lens was lost in Kunlun..."
Kunlun Mountains are covered in heavy snow year-round. After such a long time, even a sword, let alone a small lens, would have been buried by the snow long ago. Looking for it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Yin Lanxin looked at her and didn't speak for a long time.
Sacrificing Lingche: "..."
She was so frightened by Yin Lanxin's stare that she looked away silently and said, "Then, I'll go to Kunlun to look for it again—"
She paused, and with a slight click, a thin thing was thrown to the ground and rolled in front of Ji Lingche.
She was stunned for a moment, then slowly picked up the thing and held it in her palm to look at it.
It was a transparent monocle.
This thing was still faintly wrapped with her spiritual thread. Obviously, it was the one she had lost before...
She clutched the lens in her hand and could actually feel the frost chill. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't warm it up. It was as if it had been buried in the snow for too long, and the cold had seeped into the object...
She raised her head in disbelief, looked at Yin Lanxin, and couldn't help but frown slowly.
She couldn't help but think of the Kunlun God.
The little god once said that he could help her return to her body, but the premise was -
The prerequisite is that she has to help him kill Yin Lanxin.
Ji Lingche held the lens in his hand. She stared at her without blinking and said, "What is your relationship with that Kunlun Immortal?"
"Why would he kill you?"
Yin Lanxin chuckled and said coldly, "Mind your own business first, then ask me."
Ji Lingche leaned Qu Wuji against the railing. She stood up and said sternly, "I only want to ask you one question. You must answer truthfully."
"Are you using your lifespan to deceive the heavens, and using it to bring my soul back?"
Yin Lanxin's expression seemed to change a little, and she smiled faintly: "You think too much."
"You were able to return to life because your life span wasn't over yet. I didn't interfere. But I chose Hua Wanwan's body for you," she said with a smile. "I can see that you really like the Sha Tuan Sword. Consider that sword my gift to you."
"As for the Kunlun Immortal you mentioned—"
"I don't know him. As for whether he hates me and wants to kill me, that's his own business. You have to ask him. I don't know."
Ji Lingche looked at Yin Lanxin, sighed deeply, and said, "Sometimes I don't want to listen to you. It's so annoying."
She glanced towards the training ground and saw that the sword intent emanating from the Shatuan Sword had sealed all the openings.
The red light flickered like a tide, and red butterflies were still fluttering around, killing the remaining demons.
Some of the monks were hanging in the air with swords watching the battle, while many were killing monsters on the ground. The rest of them, like Linghu Jin, had already run away when they saw Qu Wu Ji was injured and knew that they would not be held accountable.
There are not many demons left now, and the battle situation has gradually stabilized and has become a one-sided massacre. Seeing this, those who are watching the battle also fly down on their swords, hoping to grab some credit in the end.
Those red butterflies did not hurt people. They flapped their translucent wings and floated through people's bodies as if they had no substance. But in an instant they landed on the demon in front of them and pounced on it in groups. The demon was immediately bitten into a pool of minced meat.
Ji Lingche put the monocle on his nose, lowered his eyes and scanned the people.
Just like watching Gu Chaoyin from the White Jade Tower, a layer of hazy white mist first appeared in front of her eyes, and then she could gradually see some things clearly. Suddenly, her eyes widened -
