Chapter 44
“Is memory important?”
"certainly!"
"It's a testimony to the bonds between people! It's your connection to the world! It's an essential element of who you are!"
Jiang Wan's words seemed to be ringing in her ears. Gu Yun covered her head and looked at the two people arguing with a self-deprecating smile, "Memory... is indeed very important..."
On Jiang Wan's side, the teleportation array they accidentally stepped on teleported them directly to the person they had been looking for.
Looking at the complicated magic circle and corpses in front of him, Jiang Wan's face was gloomy.
What a twist of fate! I didn't expect that I would run into a big fish while rescuing someone.
Although Jiang Wan had never seen this man in black before, judging by his attire and behavior, he was definitely the guy who had impersonated her to issue the Beauty Order!
"Xiaobai, hide well!" Jiang Wan warned, suppressing the discomfort caused by the smell.
Without waiting for Lin Xubai to speak, she let go of his hand, pushed the man aside, summoned the Light Boat Sword and rushed forward with it.
The sword rang out, and the cold sword light turned into a stream of light that pointed directly at the man in black, abruptly interrupting the evil magic he was practicing.
"Who is it?" The man in black turned around suddenly to avoid the sword light, and his wide sleeves were cut open by the sword energy, and the hanging red copper lamp shattered with a sound.
In an instant, black mist surged out from the man in black and filled the entire secret room in an instant.
"So this is what they call killing one person a day!" Jiang Wan's sword momentum continued unabated, the azure light on the sword suddenly radiating outwards, freezing everything it struck like an icy stream, along with the black mist. "The Demon Lord has expressly forbidden the refining of living souls! How dare you disobey the Demon Lord's orders! You—"
"I am the Demon Lord! I will not allow you to act so recklessly as I do!"
"Respect your uncle!" Jiang Wan was furious. "Damn fake, you've been cheating people by claiming to be the Demon Lord. You've been wandering around the Demon Sect for so long that you really think you're the Demon Lord! Bah—"
"You..." The man in black's face changed, but he still refused to admit that he was an imposter.
"Return to the Demon Lord!" Jiang Wan swept his sword across, splitting the incoming ghost fire in half. The tip of the sword pointed directly at the opponent, "How can you pretend to be the Demon Lord when you're not even a demon?!"
Are those people from the Demon Sect blind?!
Can you believe this?
The more Jiang Wan thought about it, the angrier he became. He swung out a frosty sword, sending out eighteen ice spikes that condensed into sword light.
"Tell me! What's your relationship with Wang Qianya?" Jiang Wan demanded. "Is that weird thing on her body related to you? Was it her idea for you to impersonate the Demon Lord?"
The man in black was originally in a bad mood, but when he heard this, he suddenly laughed.
"With her?" The man in black snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain. "How can such a disgusting woman be compared with me?"
Jiang Wan raised his eyebrows in surprise. This guy... he was obviously more angry about me getting his relationship with Wang Qianya wrong than about me interrupting his evil magic and secret room.
"You are not in the same group with Wang Qianya."
The man in black ignored Jiang Wan's words, and his figure dissipated on the spot like black mist, and then suddenly reunited under another light and shadow.
He folded his arms and looked at Jiang Wan with a very unfriendly look, "Don't mention me and that woman together!"
Mu Heng felt angry when he thought of Wang Qianya, and a strong murderous intent surged in his heart.
He looked carefully at Jiang Wan who suddenly appeared in his secret room. Since the other party had exposed and confirmed his fake identity as the Demon Lord, there was no need for him to continue pretending.
However, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage not only broke into his carefully arranged secret room, but also interrupted his...
"You are so audacious, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator. You are relying on secret techniques and treasures to fight me. Unfortunately, the difference in realm cannot be made up by external forces. I don't care who you are. It just so happens that my materials were destroyed by you. Now you can use yourself to compensate me."
"Really? If you have the guts, try it." Jiang Wan didn't care and calmly led the other party away from where Lin Xubai was.
Mu Heng did not take Jiang Wan seriously. When his series of spells were dissolved by Jiang Wan's sword and even the pressure of his realm could not suppress Jiang Wan, the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Wan suddenly changed.
He never thought that he really couldn't do anything to Jiang Wan. In just a cup of tea, the magic circle he had painstakingly set up was half destroyed, and the half-refined corpse was also taken away.
Mu Heng was shocked:!!!
He actually couldn't do anything to Jiang Wan, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage!!!
Suddenly, he noticed Lin Xubai who had been hiding in the corner, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Thick black fog suddenly filled the entire secret room, and a very conspicuous flame attacked Lin Xubai.
Jiang Wan tore open the wind talisman, blew away the black fog, and used sword energy to extinguish the flames. Then several flames burned in a circle from below.
Jiang Wan pulled Lin Xubai away. The moment she jumped away, the black fog in the sky seemed to have substance, and it rained down black fog "needles" towards the two of them.
Suddenly, Jiang Wan seemed to have stepped on some mechanism. A stream of air vibrated violently, and the Qingzhou sword in his hand was forced out of his hand.
Before Jiang Wan could change his moves, he saw the Qingzhou sword flying towards Lin Xubai from behind. He rushed over, hugged Lin Xubai's waist and dodged to the side.
Then, she found that her vision went dark, the world was spinning, and her body seemed to be compressed in a small space.
"Bang——"
The sound of wooden boards slamming shut.
Mu Heng: “Hahaha!”
Seeing Jiang Wan being locked in his specially made "coffin" just as he had planned, Mu Heng cleared away the black fog in the room and laughed out loud.
"This is a specially made corpse refining coffin that I made. It can only be opened from the outside. In half an hour, you will be refined into living corpses!"
Both people trapped in the coffin heard Mu Heng's words. Jiang Wan pushed it in disbelief, but it didn't move at all.
"I'm sorry, how are you? Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to get you out."
In the narrow coffin, Jiang Wan covered Lin Xubai with his entire body, and the two were almost pressed together.
Jiang Wan was worried about crushing Lin Xubai, so she tried to support herself with her hands to relieve the pressure on Lin Xubai, but the space inside the coffin was too small. It was difficult for her to even move, let alone get up.
"Don't move."
A low voice, different from the usual one, with a hint of suppressed muffled sound, came from above. At the same time, a big, broad and warm hand pressed the back of her head.
Hearing such an unquestionable tone, Jiang Wan immediately dared not move. She pressed her head against Lin Xubai's chest, and could clearly hear his slightly nervous heartbeat through the thin clothes.
Her elbows were resting on Lin Xubai's body, and her knees were wedged between his legs. The two of them seemed to be bound by chains and unable to separate.
In the darkness, the senses were infinitely magnified. Jiang Wan could clearly feel the warmth coming from the other person, and even the pleasant fragrance from the other person was particularly bright at this time.
My heart, which was originally calm, gradually became confused due to the tight contact and breath that I couldn't break free from.
No...it's just a hug, why should I be nervous...
Mu Heng, unaware of the hazy atmosphere in the coffin, was still feeling smug about his success in trapping the person inside.
However, an uninvited guest broke into the secret room that was supposed to be under martial law.
Tu Changxing's eyes blurred, he staggered while covering his wound, and when he was half-kneeling on the ground, he realized that something was wrong with the place he was in.
Looking up, his vigilant gaze met Mu Heng's.
Mu Heng: "..."
Is it so easy to break into the ritual chamber he painstakingly built? This is the third one...
Tu Changxing was rescued by Bai Qingqing not long ago using a strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain. He escaped from danger with the help of the positioning symbol.
Yes...the locator defines the location of Junior Sister Jiang.
His eyes swept over the Qingzhou Sword that fell to the ground, and then looked at the extremely strange "coffin" next to it. Tu Changxing immediately determined that his junior sister was trapped inside.
Without saying a word, he took a deep breath and attacked Mu Heng, fighting with Mu Heng.
Tu Changxing knew that he was no match for the man in black. His attack angles were tricky and his goal was clear from the beginning. Every move was just to get close to the "coffin" and then take the opportunity to use the teleportation talisman to escape with the coffin.
Unfortunately, Mu Heng reacted faster and had already seen through Tu Changxing's intention. When Tu Changxing's fingertips touched the 'coffin' to activate the teleportation talisman, an obscure spell distorted the space around him and dragged him and the 'coffin' into an unknown chaotic space.
Watching the man and the 'coffin' being dragged into the chaotic space as he had imagined, Mu Heng closed his frosty eyes, and his already gloomy face looked even darker in the dim firelight.
"It's almost there... I'll be able to pick you up soon..." Wait a minute...
The irresistible suction force was so strong that it dragged Tu Changxing into a different dimension. The violent gale instantly tore the "coffin" into pieces. After the space was changed, the three of them fell heavily to the ground.
The dark space was filled with majestic spiritual energy, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.
The pitch-black sky meets the boundless water, as if they are one. In this quiet space where the water meets the sky, a dazzling light quietly floats in the center, becoming the only source of light in this world.
The moment he saw the source of the light, Tu Changxing's pupils contracted violently, and he cried out in disbelief:
"Immortal weapon?"
"What?" Jiang Wan, who had just escaped from the small space, was still a little confused and didn't know why Tu Changxing was surprised.
She was still lying on Lin Xubai, being held tightly in his arms. All she could see were the broken pieces of the 'coffin' scattered around her and Lin Xubai's clothes.
"So that's it! So that's it!" Tu Changxing was extremely excited, his voice high and pitched, cracking. He pointed at the light with a trembling finger, not daring to blink. "This is the reason for all the strange things in Tahuahe City! This is the biggest secret they're hiding!!! So that's it! If it's a magical weapon, then everything makes sense!"
"There's actually a magical weapon in Tahuahe City!!!"
This is the number of times Tu Changxing has exclaimed.
Immersed in shock, he didn't notice the embarrassed expressions of the other two people behind him, and the tips of their ears were also red.
"There's actually a magical weapon in Tahuahe City???"
Tu Changxing's expression suddenly froze. Even the seven sects only had a few immortal weapons. Where could the immortal weapons come from in Tahuahe City?
Moreover, why does this "immortal weapon" look... so... familiar?
It seems like I've seen it somewhere before...
Jiang Wan didn't understand Tu Changxing's strange emotions. She stood up and looked at the main source of the light.
A long jade ruler, the ruler body is as transparent as frozen fog, and there are countless inscriptions on it. Those inscriptions flow on the ruler body, like a star-shaped chain, encircling the jade ruler in the center.
"Xuantian Ruler to Suppress Evil."
"Yes! That's the name! It's recorded in ancient books! This is the Xuantian Ruler, the ruler of the Xuanxing Immortal Venerable!!!" Tu Changxing said, "This is the immortal weapon that the Xuanxing Immortal Venerable used to suppress the lingering memories of the battle between immortals and demons. How could it be here?"
Tu Changxing: "No! We must find the mayor of Tahuahe City to figure this out!"
"No need to look for the city lord." Lin Xubai, contrary to his usual behavior, took the initiative to block Jiang Wan behind him. "Just now, while Xiao Wan was fighting with that person to buy me time, I had already searched the secret room thoroughly."
Tu Changxing: "What?"
"The city lord and his wife are also there. They are already dead."
—
outside world.
The "flood" disaster carefully planned by Wang Qianya happened as expected.
She stood on a high place, playing the role of the savior goddess in front of the frightened people, directing and acting in this drama herself.
However, just as she was gathering her emotions and preparing to perform a "miracle" that had been arranged long ago to end the show.
The sky darkened and a deafening roar resounded through the sky.
A huge wave carrying a breath of destruction appeared in everyone's sight without any warning, breaking through the barrier outside the Taha River City with an overwhelming force.
"Flood, flood!"
"Help!"
"Miss! Help!"
Continuous panic cries for help were heard from below.
Wang Qianya's face turned pale, and her legs went limp as she collapsed to the ground.
"No, that's not right..." The usually unruly voice was now filled with fear and confusion, "It's not like this... It shouldn't be like this... I, I clearly... How could it be..."
Bai Qingqing, hiding in the crowd, bit her lower lip unconsciously, looking very anxious.
Where are the people?
Tu Changxing, Jiang Wan, Lin Xubai, where are you at this critical moment of life and death?
