Chapter 44: Going Upside Down (V) Upside down and upside down, like waves...
Qing Mi said, "I want you to die."
Wei Yuanye threw out the Kunlun wood to block his black energy. The black energy was thrown out and hit the wall, making the room full of smoke. Wei Yuanye rushed to him, but Qing Mi disappeared. Wei Yuanye turned around and blocked his flying kick with his arm. With a casual swing of his hand, the Kunlun wood burst out with huge energy. Wei Yuanye swung a circle of light in his hand, and the sky was full of golden light like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, which made Qing Mi shout and step back!
Qing Mi asked in disbelief, "Who are you?"
Wei Yuanye said: "It's your father."
Zhang Deng thought about it and decided to forget it, so he put his Kunlun wood back.
Although I heard that his weapon is more powerful, it is obvious that the technique used is more important than the power.
Wei Yuanye's aura was immense. His hands shone with golden light. He clenched them alternately and released them again. The Kunlun Wood trembled slightly in the golden light. Wei Yuanye slightly shifted his grip, and the Kunlun Wood changed direction, heading straight for Qing Mi's chest.
Qing Mi tried his best and used Qigong to block it, but was eventually forced into a corner. Wei Yuanye frowned, clenched his teeth, shook his shoulders, and paused. Qing Mi spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Kunlun wood directly pierced his chest.
Everyone was shocked by the scene and no one spoke for a moment.
After a moment, the girl slowly opened her eyes and saw that her brother's eyes were vacant and he was sitting against the wall with a line of black blood at the corner of his mouth.
The girl let out a heartbreaking scream: "Ah——"
The girl crawled over, but only saw black gas flowing out of Qing Mi's body. The black gas slowly turned into the shape of a fox, pacing slowly in the room.
The fox stopped in front of Wei Yuanye and uttered an old, majestic voice, "A thousand pools of ice reveal the universe, and a hundred thousand feet of thunder gives me wisdom. You little thieves, how dare you overstep your bounds."
Dong Yu hurriedly said, "Immortal, my brother has come here and doesn't know the rules. He is like a Buddha with dung on his head. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with us."
The fox just stopped where he was, neither speaking nor moving.
Shi Hong said, "There's one thing I don't understand. Why are immortals interfering in the arena?"
"Although this little thief is a wild beast, he is still my man," said the fox. "If you kill him like this, where will you put me?"
The Kunlun wood flashed again in Wei Yuanye's hand. The fox's eyes moved and it subconsciously became alert. Everyone immediately realized that this immortal was also afraid of Wei Yuanye.
The fox said, "You are such an ignorant boy."
"If you stay like this," the fox said, "I will take your life."
As he spoke, he turned into a ball of air and disappeared on the spot.
That afternoon, when Wei Yuanye appeared, he was carrying Qing Mi's mask. He stood outside the fighting arena, threw the mask in, and said, "Qing Mi was causing trouble for me, and I've already killed him."
The crowd was shocked.
Dong Yu felt guilty no matter how he thought about it. He said, "How can you kill a god? You can look down on him, but you can't kill him. Isn't that courting death?"
Zhang Deng said, "Life is a path to self-destruction. Relax. If you want to cause trouble, it's Wei Yuanye."
Shi Hongdao: "This is not right."
Lin Yuzhou also noticed something unusual: "Why did the gods get involved?"
"That's weird," Shi Hong said. "What would a god want with a martial soul's true body? Did something happen in heaven?"
Sure enough, at this moment, there was a commotion from the audience, and someone shouted, "The spirit's true body is missing! It's been stolen!"
Zhang Deng followed his gaze and saw a thin man speaking with conviction, "There's no more martial spirit avatars. Brothers, don't risk your life in vain!"
Someone asked, “How did you know that?”
The man spat and said, "I went to steal it, but found it was gone."
"Did you steal it?" a big man threw a punch. "Who the hell told you to steal it?"
The man said, "I didn't steal it, it was already stolen!"
Everyone started arguing, and a man walked up on the stage. Zhang Deng looked closely and found that the man was Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu said: "Brothers and sisters, an unexpected incident occurred. The martial soul's true body was stolen. Now we are calling on all the masters. Who has the foresight to predict the direction?"
Zhang Deng thought to himself that this Zhang Hu had a really strong background. When he was selling the Qiang people, he acted embarrassed and said that he had breached the contract. It turned out that he was the organizer.
A Taoist priest immediately sat down, clasped his hands together, then opened them again, and said, "Who wants to petition—"
Zhang Hu immediately came down and bowed respectfully: "Please show me the way, immortal. Where is He Tongyu?"
The Taoist drew circles with his arms, his left palm supporting his right elbow. He placed his hands in front of his eyes and swayed them slightly. As he swayed slightly, a stream of energy slowly flowed out from the pads of his fingers and gathered in front of him. It was a strange, distorted picture, as if affected by something. The Taoist frowned, as if struggling with some force. Beads of sweat quickly welled up on his forehead, and the clear picture that finally appeared only lasted a few seconds.
Three huge cranes carried the body of a giant man in their mouths and flew towards a mountain.
Then the Taoist collapsed from exhaustion.
Many people present didn't know where this was, but Dong Yu's expression changed, and his face turned pale almost instantly.
"Where is this?" Everyone looked at each other.
Although they didn't know what mountain it was, they could tell those cranes were no ordinary creatures. Someone said, "They are the mounts of gods, so doesn't that mean..."
Dong Yu said, "Kunlun Mountain."
"That mountain is called Kunlun Mountain," Dong Yu said. "It's the abode of the gods."
The mention of the name Kunlun Mountain caused an uproar. Zhang Deng also looked at Wei Yuanye in surprise: "There is also Kunlun Mountain here?"
Wei Yuanye said, "This mountain exists in many worlds."
Zhang Hu asked, "Why would the gods interfere in the affairs of mortals? Could it be that our sacrifices have displeased the gods?"
Dong Yu suddenly yelled like crazy: "It's over! It's over! We are finished!"
Zhang Deng: "Calm down."
Dong Yu hugged his shoulders and said, "We are all going to die. The gods are angry!"
"That's not right," Lin Yuzhou said, "The priest killed three nobles. No matter how you look at it, we shouldn't be angry. It shouldn't be the priest's fault."
Dong Yu asked, "Then tell me, why would the gods come to the human world and steal people's things?"
"Because they need it," Zhang Deng consoled him. "If they were really angry, they wouldn't steal it, they'd rob it."
For some reason, Dong Yu seemed to be particularly afraid of gods.
Shi Hong said, "Either something is wrong in their immortal world, or they want to prevent humans from becoming immortals. Which is more likely?"
"Catch up and see." Lin Yuzhou said, "Willn't that tell us everything?"
Everyone:"……"
Everyone hesitated. Zhang Deng glanced at Dong Yu, who seemed to have calmed down a bit. However, when he heard they were going to chase him, he immediately said, "Don't go! Mortals can't climb Mount Kunlun!"
"It's not that there is no solution at all—" A man walked out of the crowd. It was Li Sen.
Li Sen said, "Kunlun Mountain has a barrier, but it's not completely inaccessible to mortals. If you have something from Kunlun Mountain with you as a barrier, you can climb the mountain."
"Isn't that a fairy weapon? Who has that thing?"
Zhang Deng and Wei Yuanye exchanged glances quietly.
Li Sen said, "It doesn't have to be an immortal weapon. Anything from plants, insects, and rocks will do. If you don't have any, my family's Qishiju sells Kunlun Mountain stones. They used to be 10,000 yuan a piece, but today they're surprisingly cheap, only 999 yuan. Each person can only buy one piece. Interested parties can register offline. Quantities are limited, so first come, first served."
"Damn, they asked you to sell goods?"
"It just so happens that you need it and I have it," Lin Sen said, "What's wrong with me selling some?"
Dong Yu said, "So what if I go up to Kunlun Mountain? I'm not an immortal god, so there are many dangers there. Even if I survive and reach the mountain, can I still compete with the immortals for meat?"
"Why not?" Li Sen asked, "Why do the gods have to be superior to humans? I think gods who steal people's things deserve to die. Why not go up the mountain and kill the gods? I think everyone here is not incapable of doing so, but just lacks the courage."
Shi Hongdao: "I don't agree."
Dong Yu: "I don't agree either."
Shi Hong: "Just take them back. There's no need to kill them all."
Dong Yu: “…”
Zhang Deng said, "Is it really necessary? Okay then, when do we leave?"
Lin Yuzhou waved his hand and said, "Let's go back and discuss it."
A few people went back to Shi Hong's shop first. They said they were going to discuss something, but in fact they all had the same idea: they had come this far and didn't want to give up.
Dong Yu was the only one who didn't support it. Zhang Deng found it very strange. He said, "Don't you hate the gods?"
"Gods have their own ways. Even if they aided and abetted the evil," Dong Yu said, "they are still gods after all. We should be in awe of them."
Zhang Deng thought he would be the person who wanted to kill God the most, but he didn't expect that he was indeed the person who least wanted to disrupt the status quo.
"What should we do then?" Zhang Deng didn't know what to do. He asked, "Aren't you going?"
If Dong Yu doesn't go, then Zhang Deng and Wei Yuanye probably can't go either, after all, Dong Yu is the person they want to help.
Dong Yu gritted his teeth and said, "We can't kill the gods, so I'll go."
"No one can guarantee you anything," Shi Hong took the drink the woman handed him and drank it all in one gulp. "When your life hangs by a thread, no one else's life is as valuable as your own."
Dong Yu also understood this. When he took the wine, he took the opportunity to touch the woman's hand and said, "Hongzhu, will you remember me?"
The woman glanced at him with a strange look in her eyes. She sat on the sofa and asked, "Do many people go to Kunlun Mountain?"
"Probably." Lin Yuzhou said.
The woman was stunned for a moment and asked, "Can I go?"
"No," Shi Hong refused, "It's troublesome."
The woman did not insist. She said, "I will not remember a dead man."
"I remember those who are alive, and I consider them dead when they are gone," Hongzhu said. "There are so many men, I can't remember them all."
Zhang Deng looked at her again.
Hongzhu noticed his gaze, looked back, said nothing, stood up and left.
"Ignore her," Shi Hong said, "let's talk about our own business."
Zhang Deng remembered what Wei Yuanye had said. It seemed like she had her reasons for not using her own body to become a spirit.
But the discussion stopped here. Shi Hong looked at Wei Yuanye. Wei Yuanye was obviously the combat ceiling of the people here, and everyone was waiting for his opinion.
Wei Yuanye also realized this. He didn't have any good ideas, so he just said, "Let's go and take a look."
Zhang Deng knew that Wei Yuanye must be feeling troubled right now. Wei Yuanye had the mentality of a complete worker. He just wanted to finish the task quickly, but this task was obviously becoming more and more troublesome.
Wei Yuanye said, "I have learned some Qimen Dunjia techniques, which allow me to transform into a means of transportation, but it can only be used to travel on land. I haven't learned anything else."
"Is it so difficult? You haven't learned it yet?" Zhang Deng made no secret of his admiration for Wei Yuanye. If Wei Yuanye couldn't learn it, who could?
Wei Yuanye said: "The school didn't teach us much. We can't teach all of us and let us go. The impact would be too great."
No wonder, Zhang Deng also felt that if he was really taught this kind of thing, Wei Yuanye would say that he didn’t know much about it, and then conjure up an airplane.
But it is indeed too scary to the residents of this world.
Dong Yu said, "Let's go back to the West Mountain. There are a group of untamed mountain runners who ride Xunlu. They can travel a thousand miles a day by riding Xunlu."
"Is that thing really there?" Lin Yuzhou didn't quite believe it. "I heard it was captured by the mountain people a long time ago—"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Hongzhu's scream. Everyone stood up immediately. It seemed that something was broken in the backyard. Everyone yelled and ran around. Several people immediately went to look for the sound. Before they reached the door, they heard a "clang" and the door was kicked down. A huge monster's head stretched out!
The monster had red eyes and a beak as big as an adult man's arms. When its eyes fixed on them, its beak opened wide, and Wei Yuanye roared, "Run!"
Zhang Deng seemed to be woken up and ran back. Wei Yuanye caught up with him from behind, grabbed his arm, pressed him to the ground, and rolled on the ground for a few times. Zhang Deng felt as if his back was burning. A huge heat source came from behind. When he opened his eyes, he saw the whole room was in flames.
Wei Yuanye said: "Phoenix, run!"
Zhang Deng said nothing, got up, and headed for the door. The giant phoenix lifted one leg and crushed half of the roof. Several people tumbled out. Shi Hong spat and asked Wei Yuanye, "Is it here to find you?"
Wei Yuanye narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the phoenix above him, saying: "I——"
Before he could utter the next word, Phoenix saw them and blew out another burst of flames. Several people ran away. Zhang Deng said, "How do we fight this?! Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best!"
Wei Yuanye hugged him and hid in a corner of an alley, frowning rarely and looking a little serious.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Deng also became worried: "What should I do?"
"I don't know if we can kill them," Wei Yuanye said. "It seems like they're protected animals."
Zhang Deng: “…”
Wei Yuanye said with some annoyance: "If I really kill him, I'll have to write a lot of reports."
Zhang Deng searched for his own voice for a long time before he said, "I'll help you write..."
Wei Yuanye kissed him and said, "Hide well and wait for me to come back."
Zhang Deng stood there, feeling that sooner or later, he would be killed by Wei Yuanye.
