Chapter 11 Immortal Lord 011%
Qu Yaoyao pleaded guilty.
The second before Di Shu struck her, she finally gave in, her eyelashes trembling as she spoke in a hoarse voice, "I plead guilty."
Di Shu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to suddenly give in. Xie Qingxun didn't expect it either.
He put down the teacup in his hand, and as he stood up, the table and chairs turned into dust and dissipated into the air. Xie Qingxun slowly stepped into the cage, knelt down in front of Qu Yaoyao, and saw that she was still crying with tears flowing down her face.
"Are you really admitting your guilt?" he asked.
Qu Yaoyao nodded, her delicate bun falling loose, her butterfly-like hair losing its natural beauty. She was still crying, gasping for breath like a child. Xie Qingxun listened in silence for a moment, then raised his hand to pinch her chin and casually brushed the wet hair away from her cheek.
"Look into my eyes." He wiped the tears from her face, and his cold voice softened a little. "Did you kill Hua Song?"
"Yes, it was Wuwu who killed him." Qu Yaoyao's eyes were red, and even her nose and lips were very red.
Looking at the man in front of her with tearful eyes, she angrily said what he wanted to hear: "I killed Hua Song."
"It was I who killed Huasong's retainers."
"I accept whatever you say. Are you satisfied?"
Xie Qingxun was satisfied.
He looked at her, the back of his hand wet with her tears. Seeing that Di Shu was still holding her hand, he scolded her coldly, "Qu Yaoyao has confessed her guilt, why don't you get the indictment and ask her to sign it?"
Di Shu quickly let go of the person.
As soon as Qu Yaoyao was free, she slapped Xie Qingxun's hand that was clamped around her chin. She really didn't want him to touch her at all, so she cried and hit him. When Xie Qingxun let go and stood up, Qu Yaoyao shrank back in panic, staying away from him.
Perhaps she was genuinely frightened. After curling up in a corner, she didn't cry or act out. Instead, she obediently pressed her fingerprints on the paper Di Shu brought, and listened to everything Di Shu said. During this time, Xie Qingxun kept watching her until Di Shu brought the book of charges to him.
"Master, that's enough." Everything that needed to be done had been done, and they were just waiting for the people from the Medicine King Sect to come tomorrow.
Xie Qingxun hummed absentmindedly, knowing that there was no need for him to stay here anymore.
Turning around, just as his figure was about to disappear in the cage, Qu Yaoyao, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly spoke—
"Qingxi Immortal Venerable."
She only knew Xie Qingxun's honorific title. After reading it out word for word, she sobbed sadly and said to him, "I don't want to like you anymore."
After a thousand years of concentration and a hundred years of love, in the end, it was all just a mirage, and what she was chasing was just an illusion.
Xiao Xuelian began to doubt herself. Did the immortal who protected her, loved her, and always went to the cold pond to accompany her really exist?
“…”
After Qu Yaoyao confessed, the pendant kept comforting her in her ear, telling her to cheer up and stop crying, and that he would be able to take her away soon.
When Qu Yaoyao said that she didn't want to like Qingxi anymore, the soft words of comfort in her ears suddenly stopped, and she was the only one sobbing quietly in the cage.
Qu Yaoyao really wanted to be alone.
Wiping the tears from her face, she lowered her head to look at her hands. Blood was seeping from her soft fingertips, where there was a shallow needle mark.
To be honest, the tip of the ice lightning spike only scratched her skin lightly; Di Shu hadn't used much force. Qu Yaoyao was simply too frightened. She had lived peacefully in the cold pond for a thousand years, never experiencing any hardship or pain. That was why she cried so miserably at the sudden pain of the lightning.
"Are you still there?" Qu Yaoyao had cried enough.
Wiping the tears from her face, she hugged her hands and looked around. After making sure that no one was around, she spoke to the pendant, "You promised me that you would take me away."
The pendant quietly lost its light and did not respond to Qu Yaoyao.
Qu Yaoyao was a little panicked. She held the pendant in her palm and tried to concentrate. However, her emotions were not stable yet. She looked at the pendant for a long time without any reaction.
Thinking that she was able to enter the pendant before because the pendant was stained with her own blood, she thought that the blood was the key to unlocking the space in the pendant. She pressed the wound on her fingertip and was about to drip more blood on the pendant when the pendant lit up red and suddenly sucked her consciousness in.
"This place can't be opened with your blood, Yaoyao, don't do anything that will hurt yourself." After re-entering the pendant space, Qu Yaoyao heard the man's low and hoarse voice.
Compared to just now, this voice became too weak and tired, as if it had suffered a serious injury. Qu Yaoyao couldn't see the speaker's figure, so she could only look at the flames and ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." The voice came softly from the firelight, and after a pause, he said, "How about you, does your wound still hurt?"
The flames of the Red Lotus Karma Fire were like blood, and when they burned intensely, they would condense into red lotuses. Qu Yaoyao couldn't get close to the flames, so she could only sit cross-legged, looking down at her fingertips and muttering, "It turns out that when the body is injured, the soul will also be damaged."
She was in pain, her soul was injured and bleeding, how could she not be in pain?
Inexplicably, Xiao Xuelian wanted to cry again. Only here could she be her true self. So she blinked her moist eyes and told the truth, "It hurts too much."
My body and heart ached, and I was particularly scared.
The flames seemed weaker than before, and the man suddenly said, "I'm sorry."
Xiao Xuelian looked up at the flame and asked in confusion: "Why are you apologizing to me?"
"You didn't do anything wrong to me." On the contrary, he saved her.
The flame was silent, and a small flame split off and turned into a red lotus, which fell on Xiao Xuelian's injured fingertip. After the red light faded, Xiao Xuelian exclaimed, and found that the wound on the fingertip was gone.
"It won't hurt this way." The man said softly.
Xiao Xuelian rubbed her fingertips tentatively, and sure enough, the pain was gone. She burst into laughter, her eyes sparkling as she changed her tone and said, "Thank you, benefactor."
The man was speechless, as if he had not expected her to call him like that.
Xiao Xuelian gradually got used to such conversations. She guessed that her benefactor was a person who didn't like to talk.
After crying, Xiao Xuelian was no longer a flower immersed in sadness. Her emotions had gradually calmed down. She still remembered the purpose of her coming in and asked hopefully, "My benefactor, you just said you could take me away from here. Is that true?"
The flames rose, and red lotuses bloomed and disappeared in the fire. Faintly, Xiao Xuelian saw something moving in the flames.
Before she could take a closer look, her benefactor hummed softly, "I didn't lie to you."
"So how are we going to get out?"
I learned from Di Shu that they would hand her over to the Yaowang Sect tomorrow, and she didn't have much time left.
The man was silent for a moment, then said, "Stretch out your hand."
Xiao Xuelian obediently stretched out her hands, only to see the flames on the opposite side rising violently, emitting a dazzling red light.
Another red lotus floated out from the fire and landed on Xiao Xuelian's right palm. This time the red lotus did not dissipate, but stuck to her skin and turned into a blood-colored totem, complex and obscure.
"After you get out, draw the totem on your palm exactly under your feet. The magic circle formed will teleport you out."
Xiao Xuelian was uneasy. "But I don't have any cultivation base right now, and the magic circle outside is very strong, which will suppress any use of magic."
The benefactor seemed to smile and said, "Don't be afraid, just do as I say."
Xiao Xuelian felt relieved and thanked him again: "Thank you very much, benefactor!"
“…”
Accustomed to the crimson world full of flames, Qu Yaoyao felt a little uncomfortable when she first came out of the pendant.
Rubbing her eyes, she sat on the magic plate and studied the totem on her palm carefully. After a while, she tentatively scratched it and found that a deep red spiritual light emerged from her fingertips, which was not diluted by the magic plate formation that imprisoned her.
This should be the spiritual power lent to her by her benefactor.
As Qu Yaoyao concentrated on tracing the pattern on her palm, she secretly marveled at the power of her benefactor. At the same time, she had more questions: Who was he? And why did he go to such great lengths to save her?
Swish——
As the last stroke was made, the totems under Qu Yaoyao's feet glowed, clasping and rotating with each other, forming a red circular light wall half a person's height, trapping her inside.
After just blinking her eyes, Qu Yaoyao felt her body losing weight and falling. When she opened her eyes again, she was already standing in an empty bamboo forest.
"It really came out?!" Qu Yaoyao couldn't believe it.
Her true form is a cold lotus. Even with a thousand years of cultivation, it is difficult for her to perform such a high-level and complex technique as teleportation.
It was late at night, the bamboo forest was quiet and dim, and not far away was a winding stone road leading to the brightly lit city. Standing in Qu Yaoyao's position, she could clearly see the city wall in front of her.
"Where is this?" Qu Yaoyao raised her hand to catch a snowflake and found that there was a large amount of snow on the ground, which must have been caused by snowing for a long time.
The benefactor's voice came from the pendant: "The Wanmen Immortal Sect's lower realm is coming to the city, welcome to the Immortal City."
The world of cultivation here is separate from the mortal realm and is divided into the upper and lower realms. The upper realm refers to the Wanmen Xian Sect and the entire cultivation world, while the lower realm is the human world. Yingxian City, where Qu Yaoyao is currently located, is the only way for mortals to reach the Wanmen Xian Sect.
"We've actually come to the underworld?" Qu Yaoyao was surprised.
Turning around, she looked up at the night sky. Under the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Qu Yaoyao vaguely saw a huge floating fairy island, which was the Wanmen Xianzong where she had lived before.
The reason why Qu Yaoyao was surprised was not only because she had come to the lower realm, but also because she was surprised by the power of the teleportation array.
You know, the teleportation technique is already high-level and consumes a lot of cultivation. It is not easy to teleport freely in the upper realm. However, her teleportation formation actually broke through the barrier between the upper and lower realms and directly sent her to the lower realm.
However, this was just a small ray of spiritual power given to her by others.
Qu Yaoyao couldn't help but marvel at how powerful and mighty this benefactor who saved her was.
The benefactor thought she was unhappy with where she was being teleported to, but when he saw her staring at the floating island for a long time without saying anything, he explained, "My spiritual power is currently blocked, so I can only teleport you to the nearest location. The rest of the journey is up to you."
Qu Yaoyao:?! This is teleportation with spiritual power blocked?!
At the same time, in the underground palace of Xianxu, Di Shu went to give Qu Yaoyao the elixir that could relieve the ice thorns.
He thought the delicate little girl was still crying, but when he opened the prison cell, he was greeted by nothing.
Snap——
The medicine bottle fell to the ground.
Di Shu strode onto the high-level magic plate, but couldn't find any trace of Qu Yaoyao. Knowing something was wrong, he sent a message to Gu Tianci, "Hurry and tell Master, Qu Yaoyao has escaped!"
The author has something to say: I’m late~
