Chapter 186 Liar
If what Xie Yuqing said was true, then that meant she hated the wrong person.
The one who killed her mother was not the person in front of her, but another evil soul.
Then what about her, who has always held a deep hatred for Xie Yuqing?
Qiu Qianling lowered his eyes and sneered in his throat.
Did she really think she couldn't see that Xie Yuqing was so deliberate just to avoid her revenge? In the final analysis, it was all for her own sake!
Qiu Qianling raised his eyes, his voice extremely cold, "At this point, do you think I would still be fooled?"
In response to this, Chi Qie smiled with her lips curved.
Qiu Qianling's reaction was completely within her expectations. She didn't think that a mere illusion could change the child's attitude towards her.
The reason why she did all this was just to plant a seed in Qiu Qianling's heart in advance.
Tricking Jinque into setting up an illusion for her and then killing him was just a matter of convenience, and it also saved some points.
As for the story of two souls in one body, it was adapted from a real case, so she couldn't be considered lying.
As long as Qiu Qianling thinks about it carefully, she will definitely find that she and Xie Yuqing, who is willing to devote everything to Shi Zhuoyue, are two completely opposite people.
But Qiu Qianling shouldn't expect her to tell her her true identity.
After all, she was going to become a god, so how could she allow the people of this world that was about to become hers to see through her evil and dark nature?
Thinking of this, Chi Li smiled and looked at Qiu Qianling, and said softly, "Qianling, do you know? In my heart, I have always regarded you as my daughter."
"I'm telling you this out of selfish motives, but it's not because I'm afraid of death, but because... I don't want you to still hate me in the end."
"No matter what, don't hate me, okay?"
Qiu Qianling was stunned for a moment. She had never seen such a gentle and sad expression on Xie Yuqing's face, as if it came from the heart.
Almost subconsciously, the white mask that had been lingering in my dreams appeared in my mind.
She had imagined what a gentle and loving face would be under the mask, but she never imagined that the one who would save her from suffering would be her most hated enemy.
She really couldn't accept it.
Qiu Qianling flew forward, pointing the bloody blade in his hand directly at Chi Li, and demanded sternly, "If this is the truth, then why, why didn't you even give me an explanation? You clearly know how hypocritical and despicable the immortals are, yet you still oppress and persecute the human race. Now tell me, why is this?"
Chi Li stared at the crimson blade in front of her and smiled, "Even if I told you the truth about what happened back then, would you believe me?"
"As for the matter between the human race and the demon race, I have no intention of making excuses for it. But if I were to explain my goal, it is definitely not to destroy both the human and demon races. I simply want to put an end to the evil in this world."
"But whether it's the sacrifice of the human race or the death of your mother, I am willing to bear it all. However, I can't die now. But Qian Ling, I can promise you that after Gongsun Xiong dies, I can do whatever you want with me."
This is of course a lie. Once Gongsun Xiong dies and the immortal race is destroyed, she will be able to successfully complete her mission and take this world into her possession!
But lies are often the most destructive.
Qiu Qianling's hand holding the hilt of the knife began to tremble, and he couldn't help but recall the past times he and Xie Yuqing had spent together.
It seemed that Xie Yuqing had truly changed since the night she became Murong Ci's apprentice. She had uncharacteristically stopped defending Shi Zhenlin and Shi Zhuoyue, and even experienced a significant increase in her cultivation, ascending directly to the position of Sect Leader. She even apologized for hurting her... This couldn't be explained by a sudden awakening.
She took a deep breath, "So, your real purpose in changing the law is to destroy the immortal race?"
Chi Li chuckled and looked at her, "What do you think?"
Qiu Qianling slowly let go of the hand holding the blood blade. He had already believed it most of the time, but his reason was still holding on.
Nothing this woman said was trustworthy. I couldn't be fooled by her again... I absolutely couldn't...
He opened his mouth involuntarily, his voice trembling slightly, "Then prove it to me, if it's true..."
If it's true, I forgive you.
The words went around in her throat for a while, and she was hesitating and about to say it out loud when she saw Chi Li raised her hand and pressed somewhere on the handrail. The hall in front of her suddenly became like drawing paper, with pieces breaking and falling off, turning into specks of light and dissipating in front of her.
But in a flash, the illusion collapsed.
However, looking around, Qiu Qianling discovered that the hall in the illusion was almost the same as the real one. No wonder she was so obsessed with it at first.
She wanted to say something else, but Chi Qie stepped past her and strode out of the palace.
Looking at the tall and cold figure, Qiu Qianling felt complicated. He felt hatred and love, resentment and annoyance. It was a complete mess.
She gritted her teeth and said hatefully in her heart, If you lie to me again this time, I will definitely kill you!
Qiu Qianling clenched the hilt of his knife tightly and was about to follow when a teasing voice suddenly sounded beside him, "Oh, our Demon Lord, you are being completely led by the nose by that woman."
Looking down at his hand, he saw Murong Ci emerging from the blood blade with a playful smile on her face.
Qiu Qianling's face darkened. "With such a formidable enemy at hand, Senior Murong isn't worried at all?"
As he said this, he reached out and was about to push her back into the knife.
Murong Ci hurriedly said, "Wait! I have something else to say. I just thought of a way to refine the Xuantian Jade Ruler, but... it's a bit risky."
Qiu Qianling paused and asked Murong Ci to come and see what he had to say. After listening, he was silent for a while before speaking, "I know. I'll see to it."
Then he flew out of the Shangyang Palace.
————
At the same time, in the square outside the temple, the immortals had been surrounded by the demons. Most of them were injured and fell to the ground, no longer able to fight back.
When they saw Chi Li coming out of Shangyang Palace first, they thought she had killed the Demon Lord, and hope lit up in their eyes again.
"I knew that the Demon Lord was no match for the Sect Master."
"Master, the demons are despicable and shameless. They injured most of our cultivators and even killed the Master of the Spirit Sword Sect. You must quickly think of a way to avenge our brothers!"
The cultivators looked at Chi Li with anticipation, just like a newly hatched bird finding its mother hen and eagerly seeking shelter.
It’s a pity that Chi Qi is destined to disappoint them.
She looked at the respectful and trusting eyes on the faces of the cultivators and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahahaha... Revenge? Why revenge? The immortals have done so many evil things, worse than dogs and pigs, and now they deserve to die!"
The cultivators were stunned. What was the Sect Master talking about? Was he driven mad by the Demon Lord?
Chi Li suppressed her smile and said disdainfully, "You male cultivators, you oppress the human race, dig out spiritual pearls, kill the demons, and ascend to heaven by stepping on the flesh and blood of the world. You are so evil, don't you deserve to die?"
"Stop quibbling. You all deserve to die, and Gongsun Xiong deserves it even more! It's your honor to have the chance to die at the hands of the demons."
The cultivators finally understood that she was not crazy, but really believed it.
Suddenly, there was an uproar. Although no one dared to point at Chi Qi and scold her, they couldn't help but murmur and talk.
"What nonsense is this? Could it be that the sect leader has been possessed by a demon?"
"Why are you still calling her Sect Master? Don't you understand what she's saying? She's surrendered to the demons. A coward who's afraid of death and turned against their own side in the middle of a battle, someone like her isn't worthy of being the Sect Master of the Golden Gate Immortal Mansion!"
"Yes, she is a traitor!"
The voice suddenly became louder, and Chi Qi's face darkened. What a bunch of ignorant idiots!
Just as she was about to take action, a terrifying pressure suddenly came from behind her, and the cultivators in front of her shut up instantly.
Then, they bent their knees and knelt down with cold sweat on their faces, their knees hitting the bricks and stones with a series of banging sounds.
Chi Li didn't need to turn around to know that such a big scene must be the work of Qiu Qianling, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
After hearing what she just said, this child must have fallen head over heels in love with her, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the notification sound of points increasing.
It's really no surprise.
At this moment, long boots stepped on the ground from behind and walked to her side.
Qiu Qianling didn't look at Chi Li, but at the male cultivators who were kneeling on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads. He asked in a cold voice, "Who was talking just now?"
The moment the words fell, all the cultivators felt the pressure on them become even heavier, and their bones were crackling. Those with lower cultivation levels even vomited blood and fainted.
Everyone then realized that neither the Sect Master nor the Demon Lord were people they could interfere with, and they didn't even dare to complain or curse in their hearts.
"Master Sect Leader, Your Highness the Demon Lord, I know I was wrong! I deserve to die! I only have one worthless life left, and I dare not dirty your hands. Please spare us!"
Before Chi Li could speak, Qiu Qianling spoke first, saying in a cold voice, "I could have spared your lives for the sake of your Sect Master, but unfortunately, you chose to die on your own."
Upon hearing this, the cultivators felt extremely regretful and kowtowed even harder to beg for mercy.
However, the next moment, Qiu Qianling raised the bloody blade in his hand.
With a whoosh, a blood-red mist drifted across the square, dyeing everyone's eyes red.
But Chi Li's eyes went dark. She raised her hand and pulled down the robe covering her head. She turned to look at Qiu Qianling, who was without the outer robe, and asked, "Do you believe me now?"
Qiu Qianling still had a cold expression on his face, "Liar!"
Chi Yan looked helpless as she took out her Broken Mirror Pen and looked at the crimson lotus seat looming over the two of them. She sighed softly, "If that's the case, then I can only risk my life to fight Gongsun Xiong to the death."
As he spoke, his figure swayed, and he covered his lips with his hands and coughed, "It's just that I overdrew too much spiritual power in order to modify the rules..."
Qiu Qianling turned his head suddenly.
Before Chi Qi continued speaking, a figure suddenly flew over from a distance, landed beside her, and grabbed her arm tightly.
"Master, you are not allowed to go! I know what you are going to do. You plan to die with Gongsun Xiong!"
Huh? How come she doesn't know?
Chi Qi suppressed the doubts in her heart and turned to look at the person who came. It was Yu Yixian who she had sent away before.
Qiu Qianling was extremely surprised and couldn't believe it. "What did you say?"
