The rain in the snow-covered cave was getting heavier and heavier, and the continuous rain was creating a layer of white mist. The passage of the Star Stone was open in the heavy rain, and Wang Muye's figure suddenly jumped into the passage and disappeared.
The monks put down what they were doing and rushed towards the passage. Wen Qiong ran the fastest. Before the other monks could react, she had already followed Wang Muye to the cave where the center of the formation was.
When Du Heng's spiritual consciousness probed out of the stone chamber, he saw that the disciples of Tianyi Sect had red faces: "It's all our fault for opening the barrier. We didn't expect that the sect leader... Wang Muye would escape." It was all because Wang Muye behaved too peacefully before, and no one expected him to do this.
Ji Qingyan consoled him, "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Let's wait until we catch him first."
The monks set off towards the passage. Du Heng turned to look at Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, let's go and take a look. I'm afraid Master is no match for Wang Muye." Wen Qiong was in the middle stage of the Out-of-Body Realm, and everyone was saying that Wang Muye was in the late stage of the Out-of-Body Realm. Wen Qiong, who was in the middle stage of the Out-of-Body Realm, would not suffer a loss against Wang Muye.
Xuan Yu packed up the wontons on the stove and put them in the refrigerator. He said calmly, "Okay, let's go."
The sun was shining brightly in the cave where the formation's core was located. As soon as Du Heng and his companions entered, they felt a wave of heat coming towards them. Du Heng looked around and asked, "Where are my master and the others?"
After just a few breaths, Wen Qiong and the others disappeared. The monks who entered later were flying around in the sky like headless flies: "Where are they?" "Oh no, we lost them."
Could Wang Muye just find a random place to hide? If so, it would be difficult to find him. However, Xuan Yu said confidently: "Wang Muye had been near the center of the formation before, and I think he is there now."
After hearing Xuan Yu's analysis, Ye Wenqiu and the others also thought it made sense, so they headed towards the center of the formation. When they arrived at the center of the formation, they saw Wang Muye standing there.
However, the center of the formation was different from what Du Heng had seen before. The center of the formation was on the crater, and the formation was floating on the magma. But now, the magma was gushing out, and the hot magma was three feet high above the ground. The viscous and hot magma strangely solidified at the highest point.
Wang Muye was standing above the magma, on a magma condensation layer with a diameter of less than ten feet. He and Wen Qiong stood opposite each other.
Wen Qiong's face was calm: "Sect Master Wang, calm down. Let's go back and talk it over." Wang Muye's hair was disheveled, his eyes were crazy and twisted, but he still had a gentle smile on his face: "Sect Master Wen, it's time to say it now. I don't think there's anything to say."
Wang Muye chuckled and said, "You guys say you can talk nicely, but what do you do? You lock me up in a stone chamber and let me be slaughtered like a piece of fish."
Wen Qiong said innocently: "Master Wang, if you say that, you are really wronging me. Old Ye and I have repeatedly asked you if you have any difficulties. Master Ji was worried about you. He went in to talk to you several times, but you avoided the topic." Not to mention avoiding the topic, you didn't even say a word to Ji Qingyan. Now Wang Muye actually said that everyone was slaughtering him. How could this be justified?
Wang Muye smiled and said, "You know what? Before you came, I was hesitant. I was thinking, we are colleagues, and we can talk to each other normally. Do I really have to open the demon-killing formation to catch you all in one fell swoop? Do I really have to listen to the demon cultivators and kill the human cultivators? I stood at the center of the formation and thought for several days, but I couldn't make up my mind. Until the Chaos Bead was taken away, I didn't want to leave any hope anymore."
Wen Qiong narrowed her eyes in distress and said, "Sect Master Wang, what you said is wrong. The Hun Tian Pearl originally belonged to the demon race. Fairy Jing Hong didn't steal the Hun Tian Pearl because of you. There's nothing wrong with returning it to its original owner now."
Wang Muye took out his Bagua plate from his sleeve, and the copper beads in the plate were spinning wildly. He lowered his eyes and looked at his Bagua plate steadily: "Master Wen, I don't think so. I think that things that are in my hands belong to me. I can't stand it if someone takes it away from me."
Wen Qiong sighed with a headache: "So you are this kind of Sect Master Wang... It's a bit difficult to deal with."
Wang Muye looked Wen Qiong up and down: "Master Wen, everyone says that you have a solid foundation. But there is still a certain gap between you and me, and I don't want to hurt you. If you leave now, you may still have a chance of survival. If you continue to stand on this formation, you will be dead once the formation is activated."
Wen Qiong looked helpless: "Sect Master Wang, although we have dealt with each other several times, I think you..."
Before he finished speaking, the beads in the Bagua formation in Wang Muye's hand finally stopped. A circle of even spiritual light appeared under Wen Qiong's feet, and the spiritual light trapped Wen Qiong like a cage. Wen Qiong's limbs were restrained by the spiritual light as thick as her arms, and she was unable to move like a puppet.
Wang Muye said slowly, "I told you a long time ago that there is still a glimmer of hope if you leave now. It is difficult for you to escape from my trapped formation with your current level of cultivation." Wen Qiong blushed, and veins bulged on her arms: "I...fuck..."
Wang Muye said, "I heard that Sect Master Wen has tempered his body to be as strong as a copper wall and iron wall. I am good at formations, so I dare not confront Sect Master Wen head-on. I can only use this method to trap you. It just so happens that this formation lacks a sacrifice. I have been thinking about who will be the sacrifice. Now I will trouble Sect Master Wen."
Wen Qiong gritted her teeth: "Just wait..." Wait until Wen Qiong breaks free from the cage, and then see how she will deal with this bastard.
Wang Muye smiled and looked at the sky: "They are here, just in time, I have something to say to them."
As they were talking, Ji Qingyan and his companions finally arrived. Wang Muye looked around and his eyes were fixed on Ji Qingyan. He smiled gently at Ji Qingyan: "Brother Ji."
Ji Qingyan frowned slightly and said, "Brother Wang, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, please talk to me nicely."
Wang Muye's brows relaxed, and his expression was very gentle, just like when he was chatting with Ji Qingyan on weekdays: "Brother Ji, you are here too? I didn't expect that we were still close friends when we entered the ruins, but now we are separated."
Ji Qingyan said firmly: "You have always been my good friend, and this has never changed."
Wang Muye's smile turned bitter after hearing this. He shook his head: "Friend? No, you are someone I can never match even if I chase you. What you actually see is an illusion, and you don't really understand me. There is something I want to tell you, I have always envied you. Sometimes I envy you so much that a voice arises in my heart, and that voice says to me: Forget it, who are you? If he knew the real you, he would despise you and hate you, and would never talk with you at night again. When I am with you, I feel ashamed all the time."
Ji Qingyan was puzzled: "Why?"
Wang Muye said, "How dare Chen Tu call Bai Xue his brother. You have a clean family background and noble character, your sect is united and friendly, you have a master and fellow disciples who love you, and you don't have to worry about anything else except cultivation. But I am different. Since I was born, I have been as humble as weeds."
Du Heng and Xiao Yu were mixed in with the cultivators. He wanted to get closer, but was stopped by Xuan Yu: "Don't get close. The formation under him is taking shape." Du Heng looked at Wen Qiong nervously: "But Master..."
Xuan Yu said: "Don't underestimate your master."
Ji Qingyan said calmly: "You are no different from me." Wang Muye shook his head: "No, I am far inferior to you. Speaking of which, I have never told you about my past. Anyway, the formation has been activated by me, and no one can escape anyway, so why not listen to me."
Wang Muye said, "I was born in a poor family. I am the eldest son, and I have five younger brothers and sisters. My parents farmed, but the land of my hometown is not good. There is not much spiritual energy, and the spiritual rice grown is sparse. Not to mention having enough food, even the annual tax revenue requires my parents to go hunting and chopping wood to collect. My first feeling in the world is hunger, and the second feeling is cold, but if I have to say what I feel the most, it is poverty."
Wang Muye still had a smile on his face, and his voice was as calm as ever, but there was a deep sadness in his tone: "Because of poverty, I never had a full meal before I was eight years old, and my brothers and sisters were pale and thin. As long as I could earn an extra copper coin, I would do anything. I followed my father to the mountains to hunt, and followed my mother to chop wood. The mountains next to the village are so high that it seems like they will never end.
"Later, the monks from Tianyi Sect came to the village to do odd jobs. Dad and Mom discussed it and went. Being an odd job was very profitable, and we could earn two taels of silver a month. This was an astronomical figure for us who worked very hard to earn two taels of silver a year."
Du Heng heard about this from Wang Muye. At that time, he and Wang Muye were trapped in a small cave where they could not use spiritual energy. Thanks to Wang Muye, he was able to get out of that cave.
Wang Muye said, "Dad passed away, but a few days after he passed away, his legs were bitten by the spirit beast of Tianyi Sect. He died before anyone could come to save him." When he said this, Wang Muye's eyes were filled with deep hatred: "One person, one life... Tianyi Sect paid 20 taels of silver as compensation, but when the silver reached us, only five taels were left."
Du Heng's heart tightened. This was the follow-up that Wang Muye hadn't told him. At that time, he only said that his father broke his leg, and he replaced his father to go to Tianyi Sect...
Wang Muye said, "Those outer sect managers would even swallow up the money of the dead. How long can five taels of silver support a family like ours? After Dad passed away, Mom couldn't support six of us brothers and sisters by herself, and she fell ill. Five taels of silver was gone in less than half a year. My brothers and sisters needed food and drink, and Mom needed medical treatment. I had no choice but to sell my best sister...
Everyone frowned when they heard this, but Wang Muye was very calm: "Do you look down on me? I have sold my own blood relatives with my own hands, and more than one. My sister was sold for 800 coins, and I spent one coin to buy five cakes. I gave her a cake and told her that when she finished the cake, I would take her home. She was still chewing the cake when she was taken away by the human traffickers, but I knew that this was the last time I would see her. I don't have the ability to buy her back.
"After selling my youngest sister, my mother's illness didn't get better. I continued to sell my second and fourth sisters... When I sold my fourth sister and got medicine back, my mother hanged herself. I was left with my two younger brothers, and I felt at the time... that the day would never come again."
Ji Qingyan said ashamedly: "You never told me this."

Wang Muye smiled and shook his head: "What's the point of saying it? To gain sympathy? No one will sympathize with a person who sold his family. After my mother died, I looked at my two hungry brothers. With my ability, I couldn't feed them even if I had to eat coarse food. I simply sold them all and found a good family, so that they could survive. Then I took the money from selling my brothers to Tianyi Sect and sold myself.
"I signed a death contract with Tianyi Sect, and was a low-level servant, the kind that could only eat a full meal in the sect. However, even so, I am still grateful, at least I survived. But this was the beginning of a nightmare. I was small, and the other servants bullied me and I was helpless. During the years I worked as a servant in Tianyi Sect, I lived like a wild dog. There was endless work to do every day, and only when it was late at night and everyone was asleep could I have a moment of leisure.
"If it was just that, I wouldn't have thought much. Who would have thought that when I was fourteen, I would accidentally discover that I had spiritual roots. Of course, it was the lowest level three spiritual roots. But because of this, I went from being the lowest servant to an outer disciple. Those servants who used to bully me no longer dared to bully me. At that moment, I realized that it was so comfortable to be in a high position, and that I could also go from a lowly slave to a real person.
"However, I only enjoyed the admiration for a few days before I was mercilessly thrown into the abyss. There is no future for people with three spiritual roots. The world of cultivation is more cruel than the world of ordinary people. People in the world of cultivation are destined to be divided into different levels from birth. I started to live a life of being bullied by my peers again, and it became worse and worse than before.
"My resources were constantly being exploited by my fellow disciples, and I was left with only what others didn't want. They laughed at me and attacked me without restraint. I was very painful and confused at the time. Fortunately, I had a fellow disciple who was kind to me and I could open my heart to him.
"I slowly made it to the third level of Qi training. I was already 28 at that time, no longer young. One day, the elder of the sect celebrated his birthday, and each of us received a Qi training pill. I thought I could use this pill to improve my cultivation, but when I arrived at the base, my Qi training pill disappeared. That's right, my Qi training pill was stolen by my fellow disciple. He said that since my cultivation was not good, there was no need to waste this pill, so I might as well give it to him.
"I can give it to him, but he can't ask for it. He beat me up during the argument and said a lot of inappropriate things to me. It turned out that he was the one who spread the ridicule of me by my fellow disciples. He said that he only befriended me because he felt sorry for me. I was furious and attacked him when he was not prepared.
"After my fellow disciple died, I was panicked for a while, but when I calmed down, I understood. In the world of cultivation, strength is everything, and only those with strong fists have the right to speak. I swallowed the Qi-training pills and foundation-building pills he saved in one gulp, and passed the foundation-building stage.
"As I thought, because I have established my foundation, the dispute between me and my fellow disciples has become insignificant. I also became a disciple and was appreciated by the elders. Is it ridiculous? I killed someone, but because I have established my foundation, no one will pursue the fact that I killed someone.
"Later, by chance, I got a marrow-cleansing elixir and successfully formed an elixir. My master unexpectedly became the head of Tianyi Sect, and I went from being an ordinary disciple to the head's direct disciple. Because I was good at pretending and enduring, my master took me to some sects, and I made friends with some truly pure and clear cultivators. Brother Ji, that was when I met you."
Ji Qingyan nodded: "Yes."
Wang Muye smiled bitterly and said, "I thought I could forget everything and start over, but fate played a big joke on me. My master, Master Yu Lang, is actually a terrible leader. Under his leadership, Tianyi Sect gradually declined. I am his most capable disciple, but even so, he still wants to pass the position of leader to my senior brother. I asked him why, is it because my cultivation is not as good as my senior brother, or my ability is not as good as my senior brother? Guess what the master said about me? The master said that I have a heart of a tiger and a wolf and my intentions are not right.
"I have worked hard for the Tianyi Sect for hundreds of years, but this is the evaluation I get. I am very sad."
Ji Qingyan said: "You didn't tell me these either."
Wang Muye said seriously, "It's useless to tell you. You can't understand. You have been smooth sailing since you started practicing. Your master is even willing to hand over the position of the head of the sect to you. How can you understand my embarrassment? What's more, you practice the way of ruthlessness. Even if I tell you, you will only tell me that you don't need to take these external things to heart."
Ji Qingyan said honestly: "Yes, this is indeed what I would say."
Wang Muye laughed at himself: "See, brother Ji, this is the difference between you and me. The things you despise are the things I can't get no matter how hard I try. I am obviously rotten from the inside out, but I became friends with such a pure and clear mind like you. I tried to tell myself that if I was with you, I would become a person like you. However, I was wrong. No matter how long I stayed with you, I would always be the bastard who sold out my brother and sister-in-law, forced my mother to death, and stabbed my fellow disciples to death. What am I dreaming about? I actually think that I still have a conscience. I even think that as long as I behave and do things well, one day someone will see me and understand me."
Ji Qingyan pondered for a moment, then he said, "When I first met you, you were a gentle, diligent and self-disciplined cultivator. Until now, I still think so."
Wang Muye smiled as if crying when he heard this: "Thank you, Brother Ji. You are really the most open-minded and amazing person I know. You still treat me like this even though you know that I took away your opportunity."
Ji Qingyan was puzzled: "What opportunity?"
Wang Muye was stunned for a moment: "You don't know? They didn't tell you?"
Ye Wenqiu said gloomily: "Sect Master Wang, if you say one more word, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship of the sect." Wang Muye laughed: "So you didn't know, forget it, I won't say anything, even if you don't have that opportunity, you can still ascend. It will be bad for you if I say it."
Ji Qingyan looked at Ye Wenqiu in confusion: "Master, what is Sect Master Wang talking about?"
Ye Wenqiu put the sword back into the scabbard: "Nothing, just listen to him."
After Wang Muye finished laughing, he said, "Later, I got a chance and my cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds. After returning to the sect, I found a way to kill my senior brother and master. That's how I got the position of the leader of Tianyi Sect. Brother Ji, after listening to this, do you still think I'm worth making friends with?"
Ji Qingyan was silent for a moment, and he said honestly: "I only see that Tianyi Sect is getting better and better in your hands. If your senior brother takes over, it may not be so good."
Wang Muye smiled, his smile was very sad and desperate: "Brother Ji, you really think too highly of me. If I had heard you say this earlier, I would not have opened the passage. It's too late to say anything now."
Wang Muye sighed, "I am a person who can't be cruel enough, and I can't be kind enough. I have a miserable life, but I always refuse to accept it and want to fight for it. But even if I fight, I can't accept the bleak reality."
At this time, there was a sound of cracking from the platform formed by the magma. Everyone looked at the platform. It seemed calm and there was no sign of cracking on the ground. However, Wang Muye's face changed drastically: "Not good!"
After saying this, Wen Qiong, who was trapped in the formation opposite him, finally broke the cage that Wang Muye had set for her. The golden spiritual light broke like metal, and Wen Qiong's face flushed, and the five-colored spiritual light flowed around her: "Ah——"
After a loud bang, Wen Qiong crossed most of the platform in an instant. She punched Wang Muye in the stomach: "You've been talking so much until now! Are you annoying?"
Wang Muye was knocked flying by a punch, but before he could fly too far, Wen Qiong grabbed his ankle.
It appeared! Sect Master Wen's most terrifying method of throwing his feet to the ground appeared! Before Wang Muye could react, his body had been smashed dozens of times by Wen Qiong. Every time he was smashed, his bones and meridians were broken.
Blood splattered on the platform. Wen Qiong lifted Wang Muye's ankle like a chick. Although he was not tall, he could make people tremble when he hit him. After a few hits, the platform below the two was cracked by Wen Qiong, and the solidified magma stone fell down with a thump.
However, the lava stones did not return to the crater. Instead, they accumulated on the ground and formed a pile of rubble. Even so, Wen Qiong did not let Wang Muye go. She caught Wang Muye and used a combination of punches. Before Wang Muye could even flatten his Bagua plate, he was only breathing out but not in.
Wen Qiong's fighting style was brutal and violent, but it made the cultivators present exclaim with great excitement. As expected of Sect Master Wen, even if he was five feet tall, he was not something that ordinary people could handle.
Wen Qiong angrily threw Wang Muye to the ground. "I'm talking to you. You keep complaining about yourself and talking about how pathetic you are. But to me, you're just a useless thing who only knows how to steal other people's fortunes and doesn't work hard to cultivate. You look down on someone with three spiritual roots? I have five spiritual roots! My parents are both dead and I'm all alone, but I've come this far, haven't I?! I didn't steal or rob, I cultivated honestly through my own hard work, how could my cultivation be worse than yours?!"
Du Heng was stunned, his master was so handsome!
He Jianing whispered beside him, "Master is right. Master's starting point is not as good as Sect Master Wang's. Her spiritual roots are the lowest five spiritual roots. She is an orphan who wandered around when she was young. Many sects didn't want her. Later, a casual cultivator took pity on her and taught her a set of inferior body-tempering techniques. With this set of techniques, she hardened her body to be as strong as a copper wall and an iron wall."
Liu Yuanyuan said slowly, "Dingkun Sect was founded by Master. When I followed Master, she had to help independent cultivators to smash iron in order to exchange for spirit stones to exchange for elixirs. Dingkun Sect was established more than 8,000 years ago, and Master has been guarding the sect alone for 3,000 years."
Qi Yushu said, "When I joined the sect, Dingkun Sect only had one thatched hut. Even so, Master did not ask the Qi family for a single needle or thread just because my family was well-off. When Second Junior Brother got into trouble, Master gave up her own magic weapon and never gave up on him. Even though everyone told her that her disciples were terrible, she remained faithful to us."
He Jianing looked down on Wang Muye: "After my master accepted me, cultivators from other sects took a fancy to me. They offered me in exchange for ten spiritual veins. At that time, Dingkun Sect had just started, and ten spiritual veins were more than the total wealth of our entire sect. If my master was Sect Master Wang, I'm afraid he would have exchanged me for spiritual veins long ago, right?"
Wen Qiong spat, "It is inevitable to encounter difficulties on the road of cultivation. Who among you here dares to say that his cultivation journey is smooth? You complain about yourself when things go wrong, and you think of taking shortcuts to snatch opportunities from others and do unscrupulous things. What kind of Tao are you cultivating? You might as well be an ordinary person!"
Wang Muye's head was covered in blood, and he fell headfirst onto the volcanic rock. He gasped and said, "Heh... Is it still useful to preach to me now?"
Wen Qiong said, "I'm not preaching, I just can't stand it. You just said that you are good at formations and you dare not confront me head-on? These are just nonsense. You just don't have confidence in yourself. Your stolen skills are fake and can't withstand a punch from me. Believe it or not, even my disciples can survive hundreds of moves under my hands, but what about you? Don't say you don't know my routines. I haven't used sword moves on you yet, but you can't even withstand my fists and feet."
Wang Muye glanced at Wen Qiong gloomily: "You haven't experienced what I have experienced..."
Wen Qiong said calmly, "Yes, I haven't experienced what you've experienced, so I didn't preach to you. I just simply couldn't stand it. If you don't accept it, just stand up and beat me up. Isn't that what you said? Whoever has the strongest fist has the right to speak in the world of cultivation."
377
Du Heng wanted to applaud Wen Qiong, but before he could do so, Ye Wenqiu took the lead and applauded: "I agree with what Sect Master Wen said."
Yu Jing and Su Xian were full of admiration: "Yes, you can't do evil just because your life is miserable. What's more hateful is to find excuses for yourself after doing evil."
Yang Yuanqing looked at Ji Qingyan: "Do you still think your friends are the best?" If Ji Qingyan dared to say a word for Wang Muye, Yang Yuanqing would smash Ji Qingyan's head. Ji Qingyan shut up, his lips tightly pursed.
Wen Qiong sneered, "You've had the Hun Tian Pearl for eight hundred years, and you've been taking advantage of it for eight hundred years. Now that Feng Jun has taken the Hun Tian Pearl away, who are you trying to show off to by acting like you're going to take everyone with you to death? Who are you trying to disgust?"
Among the people present, Ji Qingyan was probably the only one who was confused. However, Sect Master Ji practiced the Way of Mercilessness. He simply turned around and asked Yang Yuanqing, "When did Wang Muye get the Chaos Bead?"
For a moment, Yang Yuanqing, who was more straightforward than a gun, really wanted to grab Ji Qingyan by the collar and tell him about his relationship with Jinghong. However, thinking of Jinghong's wish and Ye Wenqiu's plea, Yang Yuanqing could only swallow it.
Yang Zongzhu said with a stern face: "People outside say that the Killing Heaven Pearl is on me. Look at me like this, where is the Killing Heaven Pearl?! Ah?! Look!"
Hearing Yang Yuanqing's complaints, Xuan Yu glanced at Yang Yuanqing. Yang Yuanqing touched his head innocently, "It's true, the three Chaos beads are real and fake, who knows where they are? Just like Sect Master Wang, he clearly has the Chaos Beads, but no one outside knows about it. To be honest, if Feng Jun hadn't taken the Chaos Beads from Sect Master Wang, who would have thought that Sect Master Wang had the Chaos Beads?"
Ji Qingyan nodded thoughtfully: "Yeah, that's right."
It was just because Ji Qingyan was obsessed with cultivation, even though he had heard people say that the Hun Tianzhu was in his possession. However, Ji Qingyan knew nothing about it, and he didn't care.
Besides, the time and place where the three Chaos Pearls appeared remain a mystery. Apart from the demon god, probably no one can tell them apart.
Wang Muye looked at Wen Qiong sarcastically: "Master Wen, what you said is wrong. I said it from the beginning, I am not a good person. I value the things that you guys discard like old shoes. The position of the leader is also true, as is the Hun Tian Pearl. Since I can't get them now, no one can have an easy life."
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Tianyi Sect began to curse in a low voice. Wang Muye laughed after hearing their curses: "You know how to curse me now? You even swore to support me before. Forget it, I have already seen clearly that cultivators are more powerful than mortals. Once I am no longer of use to you, I will be worse than grass."
Wang Muye has calmed down now: "Originally I still felt a little guilty towards you. I felt that it was unfair to let you die without any grudges. But now I think... there is nothing wrong with killing you and returning to be the top leader. Anyway, I am already a bad person, I don't mind getting worse."
As soon as the words fell, a dark red light shone from the lava rock beneath Wang Muye. The light did not go straight up, but twisted and shone through the cracks in the rock. The color was like blood that had been left there for a long time, full of ominousness.
Wen Qiong dodged several times alertly, and she jumped out of the place covered by the spiritual light. However, the spiritual light seemed to have life, and the air became scorching hot where it flowed, and the sky gradually darkened, and thick lead-gray clouds began to accumulate above everyone's heads.
The clouds gradually expanded and covered the entire sky. At this time, a monk exclaimed: "Look! What's in the clouds?!"
Du Heng looked up and saw a picture appearing in the clouds. It was a magnificent landscape painting. Facing Du Heng's head was a mountain, and on the mountain was a palace with a golden roof. Ye Wenqiu's pupils shrank: "It's... Shenxu Palace..."
The scene that appeared in the clouds was none other than Shenxu Palace, and the palace above their heads was Zhengyang Palace. At this time, the demon-killing formation in front of Zhengyang Palace flickered, and there was a tendency to be activated.
Wang Muye's body floated up, and his voice became ethereal: "People in the world only think that the Demon Slaughtering Formation can only be activated from the outside, but they don't know that the Demon Slaughtering Formation can also be activated from the inside. The demon cultivator who blocked the passage originally wanted to attract the main forces of the five major sects to the ruins, but he didn't expect that the Huantian Pearl and the Chaos Pearl entered the formation at the same time, and the ruins were blown up. Now there are demon cultivators in the ruins, which is good. The Demon Slaughtering Formation absorbs your spiritual energy and kills both humans and demons!"
Xuan Yu said to Wang Muye in a deep voice: "You will die too."
Wang Muye's laughter stopped, and he said in surprise: "How could I die? I am controlling the formation, how could I die?" The demon cultivator said that after activating the formation, he would be safe under the protection of the formation. After the formation was activated, he could leave the Wanzong ruins normally.
Xuan Yu said: "The formation under your feet is used in conjunction with the Demon-Slaying Formation. When the Demon-Slaying Formation is activated, it kills human cultivators and demon cultivators outside and extracts the spiritual energy of demon cultivators and human cultivators inside. Even if you open the passage, you will not survive. If I am right, the demon cultivator who taught you to use the formation is not in the formation at this moment, right?"
Wang Muye's face turned dark: "He is indeed gone." He thought he would be the final winner, but after all his calculations, he was still tricked by the demon cultivator!
Yu Jing spat, "Stupid, you've been used." The dragon clan's messenger was really powerful, he slaughtered people and monsters, and in the end he jumped out and got a big bargain. He deserves to be killed!
At this time, a stream of light flew in the sky, and Feng Gui in the stream of light had a serious expression on his face: "What's going on? Has the demon-killing formation been activated?"
Xuan Yu nodded: "Yes, it has started." Feng Gui turned his head and cursed: "What should we do now? I will listen to you."
Xuan Yu said, "I don't know either." Feng Gui got impatient: "What?! Even you don't know?!"
Xuan Yu said calmly: "You know, once the demon-killing formation is activated, it will not be cured unless the formation is destroyed. However, you also saw that we are in the ruins and the formation is outside. Is there anyone outside who can destroy the formation?"
To destroy the Demon Slaughter Formation, one must have a cultivation base of at least the Out-of-Body Stage, but all the cultivators above the Out-of-Body Stage are trapped inside the formation. And even if there are cultivators of the Out-of-Body Stage outside, how would they know to destroy the Demon Slaughter Formation? Moreover, the Demon Slaughter Formation is the magic weapon of the Shenxu Palace, and the people of the Shenxu Palace will not sit idly by and watch it be destroyed.
The monks of Shenxu Palace discovered that the demon-slaying formation had been opened. At this moment, there was chaos in front of Zhengyang Palace. Wu Buping and the elders of other sects who stayed in the sect all appeared in front of the square.
He Jianing smiled, and she gently patted Du Heng's shoulder: "Little Junior Brother, look, the Second and Fifth Junior Brothers are here."
Du Heng looked up as she directed him, and saw a handsome young man in a black robe standing in the corner of the square, and next to him stood a man who looked a bit honest. Du Heng knew that honest man, it was the cultivator Mu Qian he met in Dongji Mountain. Presumably, the man standing next to Mu Qian was his second senior brother Shang Zhengqing whom he had never met, right?
Wen Qiong looked up at the scene in the sky: "I don't know if anyone will be so kind as to shut down the demon-slaying formation. It's okay if I die. I still have a disciple in the sect who needs to live well!"
Yang Yuanqing tried to point the silver spear in his hand straight at the sky. A powerful spiritual energy emerged from the tip of the silver spear, rushing straight into the sky and exploding in the clouds.
Yang Yuanqing wanted to use the communication talisman of Zhenhuang Mountain to awaken the disciples' attention, but after the spiritual energy exploded, the monks remained unmoved. Yang Yuanqing was very depressed: "Oh no, they seem to be unable to see us."
The wind blew around, and the hot wind brought a nauseating smell of blood. Du Heng asked Xuan Yu nervously: "Xiao Yu, is there really no other way for us?"
Xuan Yu pursed his lips and finally shook his head. Feng Gui scratched his head: "Nan Nan hasn't woken up yet! Even if we try our best, we won't have enough strength!"
Yu Jing asked, "If we concentrate our strength to attack the center of the formation, can we break the formation?" Xuan Yu said calmly, "It will speed up the formation."
Hearing Xuan Yu's words, Su Xian sighed helplessly: "It seems that I will really die here today. Everyone, I have an idea. I don't know if it is feasible. If the demon-killing formation cannot be stopped, it will absorb our spiritual energy and turn around to deal with people outside the formation. If I self-destruct at this moment, will the formation be unable to absorb my spiritual energy?"
Xuan Yu glanced at Su Xian and said, "Sect Master Su Xian, even if you self-destruct, your spiritual energy will reverberate in the world and will not affect the absorption of the formation."
Yang Yuanqing threw up his sleeves and rushed towards Wang Muye: "Since we are going to die anyway, why not let me get my revenge first! Wang Muye! Prepare to die! I always thought you were a good guy! You are such a loser!"
However, before Yang Yuanqing rushed to Wang Muye, a sharp sword appeared on Wang Muye's chest. Wang Muye turned around in surprise and saw Jinghong's face: "You...you..."
Jinghong's eyes were sinister: "I found you, you made it so hard for me to find you."
Wang Muye's eyes were filled with astonishment, as if he had not yet realized what had happened to him. Jinghong quickly drew her sword, and blood spurted out of Wang Muye's chest. She placed the sword across Wang Muye's neck: "Where is the Hun Tianzhu?"
Du Heng's face was bloodshot. Girl, the world is about to be destroyed, and you are still chasing after the Hun Tian Pearl? But it was not Jing Hong's fault, because she didn't know that the Hun Tian Pearl had been taken away by Feng Gui.
Feng Gui looked at Jing Hong with hesitation: "The Hun Tian Pearl is here with me, I have taken it out." Jing Hong smiled upon hearing this, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
