Chapter 70
"Tracing back to the origin!"
“Tracing back to the origin”.
As soon as Su Yuan appeared, two voices rang out simultaneously. Cang Min was somewhat surprised, and when he saw that Su Yuan's cultivation was even higher than his own, he became even more uneasy.
Su Yuan glanced at his former friend, his hands moving without pause. Amidst the changing winds and clouds, the mist returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
Lingxi absorbed the true fire into her dantian, regulated her breathing for a moment, and after recovering her strength, she went to Suyuan's side.
"You! You're still alive!" Cang Min's playful expression turned into anger, his eyes turning even redder, and the already dense black energy surged continuously, enveloping the man and obscuring his original appearance.
Su Yuan ignored him and turned to face the woman beside him, calling softly, "Ling Xi!"
"Why."
The two exchanged a glance, and Lingxi immediately understood that they were about to unleash a powerful attack.
Su Yuan took the initiative, shooting four jade leaves directly at Cang Min's head. Before Cang Min could react, the jade leaves flew to their positions and formed a sealing formation.
Lingxi closed her eyes, lightly touched her brow with two fingers, and the next moment, lightning patterns appeared between her brows.
As soon as its aura appeared, dark clouds gathered over the entire Lily of the Valley, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Sensing the commotion above, Cang Min was utterly disdainful. Did Su Yuan really think that this formation could completely control him? Don't forget, it was Su Yuan who taught him this formation.
Just as Cang Min was about to violently break the formation, he suddenly seemed to sense a trace of heavenly tribulation.
He found it hard to believe; wasn't the Heavenly Dao of this realm weak and dormant? How could it be...?
Suddenly, something occurred to me.
He stared intently at the two people opposite him. It was that woman again!
Damn it!
"Tracing back to the origin!"
Cang Min gritted his teeth and tried to break through the formation to escape, but it wasn't that easy.
After Su Yuan recovered, his cultivation level was comparable to his own, and the array was based on materials from his own body. Even he would have to exert all his strength to achieve this.
The fire within him surged upwards, and he charged directly at the formation, intending to break it with his own body.
"Boom!"
The sky was pitch black, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, and the wind howling. On the ships floating on the sea, people stared in horror at the sky above Lily of the Valley.
The waves were rolling, and the scene on site looked like the end of the world.
Amidst the raging winds and dense clouds, Lingxi's figure became blurred in the air, and her aura rose higher and higher. Su Yuan had no choice but to retreat.
In a daze, Lingxi seemed to have returned to that land of clouds and desolation. It was still as quiet and desolate as ever, but she liked it very much. She felt her heart calmed down after entering.
The familiar and comforting celestial music seemed to reappear in my ears.
"Go, child."
In a dizzying moment, Lingxi felt the howling thunder in the sky again.
She opened her eyes, her dark pupils revealing a resolute determination. Spiritual light gathered at her fingertips, and in an instant, a purple lightning bolt leaped from between her brows. The moment it appeared, thunder roared and lightning flashed all around.
Over there, Cang Ming hadn't expected that this guy, who was usually so clean-living and cold on the outside but warm on the inside, would go so far as to use his trump card to trap him and leave him to die. Cang Min snorted coldly and said to himself, "Look at your friend, he actually caused us both to die without a burial place."
He keenly sensed a slight tremor in his soul and let out a cold laugh.
I knew you weren't honest.
Soon, he swung his sword with all his might, crashing into a node with weak spiritual energy.
"Click-clack~"
One part of the formation was damaged, and the internal energy became chaotic. Cang Min narrowed his eyes and threw another burst of magic power at it. Instantly, the sealing formation was broken.
As soon as the formation was broken, Cang Min immediately fled. Before he could fly far, the tribulation lightning containing the laws of heaven and earth and the power of the Great Dao pressed him to the spot. But he was just a mere Golden Core cultivator, how could he escape so easily?
Thunder rumbled above Cang Min, and an aura of annihilation locked onto him.
The demonic energy within his body reacted as if it had encountered its natural enemy, rampaging wildly within Cang Min's body. The more arrogant the inner demon had been just moments before, the more desperate he felt now.
He looked at the two people opposite him, and his mouth finally softened as he pleaded for help: "Su Yuan, little girl, whatever you want, I can give you!"
"Just let me go~"
Su Yuan snorted coldly: "Inner demon, I have nothing to talk to you about."
Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Cang Min instantly changed his tone, his crimson eyes staring straight at Su Yuan, and tempted him, "Haha~ Your friend Cang Min also perished with me, can you bear it? Do you still remember when he met you..."
Even at this point, this inner demon still tries to bewitch one's mind, so Su Yuan simply turned his back.
"You... ah—"
Without any warning, a purple lightning python that stretched across the sky descended from the heavens, engulfing Cang Min.
The moment the lightning struck the body, a shrill scream came from within. After the purple lightning dissipated, a charred figure, struck by lightning, fell from the sky.
Su Yuan and Su Yuan followed closely behind and flew down.
Su Yuan led his body to the deserted beach. Due to the commotion, no one on Linglan Island lingered outside; they had all returned indoors.
No matter where they were, they were still startled by the thunder that shook the heavens and the earth.
This thunder was truly terrifying.
On the high platform, amidst the awe-inspiring thunder, the cult leader, who stood proudly awaiting the return of the gods, felt a sudden jolt in his heart, a sense of foreboding washing over him.
on the sea
Yun Qingzi kept calculating with his fingers. Suddenly, his heart pounded wildly. He immediately stood up. This omen was not bad, but good.
"Boss, hurry, get to the island immediately, the time has come."
Upon hearing this, Lei Qun immediately issued the order to go to the island. They had already obtained all the necessary permits for this operation, and the islanders on Lily of the Valley would do their best to cooperate with their actions.
Although Lei Qun and his group didn't trust this group, they had no choice but to do so.
Lily Island Hospital
The thunderous sound, like the collapse of the heavens, almost made Jin Li fall off the bed.
"Be careful." The young woman, a hotel staff member who came to visit her during her break, said.
"Any news?"
The girl took an apple from the side, peeled it, and handed it to her.
Jin Li was in a mess and depressed. She took the apple and whispered a thank you.
The girl's name was Gena. She was eating the apple in small bites, but she clearly didn't taste it.
She gently combed her hair, saying against her will, "The police have recently mobilized a large force. I heard on the news that it's a joint operation with your country. It looks like your husband will be back soon."
"Really?" A glimmer of hope appeared in Jin Li's eyes.
Gena carefully tied her hair up and continued, "Of course, you and your baby need to take good care of yourselves."
"good."
...
"Cough cough~ You... won, Su... Yuan, you won, haha..." Cang Min ignored the charred remains, his eyes were clear, his thoughts were focused, but there was no trace of regret in his mouth.
Su Yuan walked up to him and squatted down.
Lingxi didn't move, quietly watching the two of them.
“It’s not that I won, it’s that I lost.” Su Yuan looked down at his former friend, whose face was completely blackened and whose head was bald, devoid of his former luster.
Everything from the past will come to an end at this moment.
His first good friend—is gone.
"how so?"
At this moment, Su Yuan tilted his head, looking very puzzled, and directly asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
Such a direct gaze made Cang Min feel somewhat ashamed and embarrassed. He smiled sadly, "You're too strong! So strong that I'm jealous..."
"I can never catch up with you."
Su Yuanmin pursed his lips, using his spiritual power to try and rescue him, to atone for his sins.
No matter how much he put in, it wouldn't be long before the spiritual energy dissipated from his dantian again.
But Cang Min didn't care. He let the spiritual power he had channeled into his body dissipate. He said softly, "I'm sorry... please let me go. If you ever return, please take me back with you."
"I have been tormented by the obsession with becoming an immortal for so many years."
As he spoke, his pupils gradually became unfocused, and he looked up at the sky. "So, death isn't so bad after all."
“Guiyuan is bound to my soul. After I die, my cheap disciples will not survive either. You can take the spiritual treasure. I am sorry for what I have done.”
As his obsession dissipated, Cang Min's soul began to emit specks of white light.
"Su Yuan~ It's so nice to see you again."
Light reappeared over Lily Island, the fleeting layers of dark clouds had long since dissipated, and golden radiance descended. Cang Min, who was beside Su Yuan, also disappeared.
All that remained was an incomparably mysterious bronze mirror on the ground and the silent Su Yuan.
“Su Yuan.” Ling Xi stepped forward worriedly.
Su Yuan closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his emerald green eyes were still clear and bright. He picked up the bronze mirror and rubbed it between his fingers.
The person who claimed Guiming as their master has already been annihilated, and the treasure has become ownerless once again.
And now...
Lingxi held Guiming in her arms, feeling somewhat at a loss.
"You can make it your owner," Su Yuan said nonchalantly.
"Um."
Lingxi did not hesitate and directly imprinted the mark into Guiming, taking quite a while to re-form the contract.
Spiritual energy is scarce in this world, and spiritual treasures need spiritual energy to nurture them.
Even she could only barely manage to acknowledge Guiming as her master.
"Lingxi!"
The woman looked down at him, sat down next to him on the sand, and said softly, "Yes, I'm here."
Her voice was soft, yet it struck his heart like a thunderclap.
Su Yuan's emotions quickly dissipated. Having lived for so many years, he had witnessed many partings and deaths, but he had never thought of or experienced such a loss.
He unconsciously touched his slightly aching chest, then leaned his head heavily on Lingxi's shoulder, captivated by her unique fragrance.
Feeling the weight on her shoulder, Lingxi didn't move and let him lean on her.
As the warm sun gradually slanted westward, the two people's long, loose hair was playfully tossed and intertwined by the sea breeze, much like their future destiny, bound together in life and death.
Thinking of this, a hint of joy flashed in the man's green eyes. His eyebrows relaxed, and he murmured, "Lingxi~"
"Um."
"I am very happy to know you."
As they spoke, his hot breath brushed against her neck. Hearing Su Yuan's subtle confession, Ling Xi, who was a bit shy, blushed instantly.
"Me too."
...
"Click~"
As Cang Min perished, the black-robed man inside the mountain, still unconscious, trembled slightly as the jade and wooden tablets shattered, and then fell lifeless.
The cult leader, who was second only to the emperor and lived for over a hundred years, has also met his end.
He stared straight at the blue sky beyond the round hole, never seeing his savior, his teacher, until his death.
After his death, the spiritual light continuously dissipated from his body, and his robust physique aged instantly before turning to ashes, leaving only a black robe scattered on the ground.
"Da da..."
"He's here! Someone come quick!"
Hearing the commotion outside, An Ruo recognized the person who entered wearing that familiar Liberation green uniform. Her tense nerves, which had been stretched for several days, finally gave way, and she fainted.
