Chapter 160: Sudden Realization: Xie Qingdai is Hongxiu, Hongxiu rescues...
"I am not doubting Yunheng Sword Master, but I am questioning this person."
"I heard that Yunheng Sword Master's disciple died at the Demon Killing Conference, but now you have suddenly visited the cultivation world and appeared in the Demon Abyss for the first time. It is hard not to be wary."
These words were obviously directed at Xie Tingyu. As long as she escaped, she must have been caught by someone.
"The things in the Demon Abyss are more important right now. Are you sure you want to get rid of me first?" Xie Tingyu sneered and turned to play with the long sword with a red blade in his hand.
Tianxing Chixiao trembled slightly, making a crisp sword sound.
It flew out of Xie Tingyu's hand.
Her voice was indifferent. "The fact that Tianxing Chixiao has not yet become a masterless sword already explains everything. Have you ever seen Tianxing Chixiao recognize someone else as its master?"
When Tian Xing Chi Xiao recognized his master, the movement was so powerful that the entire cultivation world could feel it.
Even though he was surrounded by monsters, it was not impossible that no one saw Tianxing Chixiao recognize his master. So there was only one possibility, that Tianxing Chixiao's master was not dead.
The person who can control the Heavenly Red Sky is Xie Tingyu, the master of the Red Sky Sword.
Yun Heng knew that Xie Tingyu would tell her that she was not dead. After all, she had Tian Xing Chi Xiao with her, so she couldn't pretend.
There is only one Tianxing Chixiao in the sky and on the earth.
Wen Zhiyu held Xie Tingyu's hand, feeling the coolness of her fingertips, trying to transfer some of her warmth to her.
However, Xie Ting knew that the body of the Jade Ghost King was a cold and yin body, with a strong ghost aura and a high level of cultivation. Ghost aura was a symbol of strength.
Wen Zhiyu only cares about whether she will disappear again, because he can't feel Xie Tingyu's warmth or heartbeat. He tries to get more and is so desperate that he doesn't even get a promise.
"Don't think about it, it's time to go in."
Xie Qingdai said nothing, just watched Xie Tingyu being questioned by the cultivator in the early stage of tribulation.
There are not many people who have reached the Tribulation Crossing stage in the world of cultivation. This early Tribulation Crossing stage should have been promoted not long ago.
However, in the early stage, no one knows where he got the courage to speak recklessly outside. Even if Xie Tingyu did not take action, there was still Yunheng Jianzun, the number one person in the world of cultivation.
It's because I didn't consider the cause and effect before doing anything.
The person behind the plot is also very stupid.
Most people are at least in the early stages of the tribulation, so concealing their bodies and aura is not a difficult task. However, if they want to get deeper into the monster breeding chamber, they need to resort to other more sophisticated means.
For example, using special pills and special precious clothes.
Chen Chanyi was wearing a fine-quality robe and standing beside Yunheng.
Everyone else used their own methods to avoid being noticed by the monsters in the Demon Abyss.
The monsters around were crawling and making noises, and there were many broken limbs on the ground, all left behind by the reptilian monsters that were blown apart.
Their deaths were extremely horrific, the air was filled with the stench of decay, and the overall atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
Even Xie Qingdai withdrew her attention from Xie Tingyu and focused on the dark road ahead.
Xie Tingyu has excellent eyesight, Wen Zhi and has merman blood. His eyes are clear and can see directly into the scenes deep in the Demon Abyss.
The Demonic Abyss was destroyed everywhere by something unknown, with pits and holes everywhere and sticky liquid splashing everywhere.
Not only on the walls and the ground, but also on the soil that was trampled by the monsters that came later and was pressed into the ground, the soil appeared black and purple.
Not only is it ugly, it also emits a foul odor that fills the nasal cavity and sticks to the body, lingering for a long time.
Wen Zhiyu covered Xie Tingyu with a layer of protective water film to protect her from the foul smell.
Xie Tingyu secretly squeezed Wen Zhiyu's hand, and the corners of his lips hidden in the dark raised, revealing a smug smile.
“There must have been cavities in these places originally, right?” Yun Heng suddenly spoke.
Hearing his question, Xie Tingyu did not hide anything, "80% of the outer chambers have been completely destroyed. If nothing unexpected happens, the remaining 20% will also be seriously damaged, and it may even affect the inner central chamber, which is the source of life for the monsters."
"You became stronger and smarter after your last death. I don't know whether Yunheng Sword Master has good luck or bad luck." The cultivator who had just questioned continued.
Yun Heng frowned, "Fellow Daoist Zhang Meng, what you said is very unpleasant. If you have the guts, you can go and die once. After all, you have been in Wang Haichao for three hundred years. You won't have to waste hundreds of years in the early stage of the tribulation. That would be a joke."
Yunheng is also very unforgiving when he speaks. When he mocks you, you cannot say anything in response and can only endure it in frustration.
Zhang Meng snorted coldly, turned his head, glanced at Xie Qingdai, who had a gloomy face, and uttered a very light mockery, "I haven't asked Yunheng Sword Master yet, what will happen if the central chamber is found?"
"Are we going to destroy the chambers one by one? There must be a lot of monster kings inside. If we go there, we will die."
For a while after he finished speaking, no one spoke except for the sound of people walking on the monster's corpse fragments.
I had thought that there would be no movement until I saw the ventricular cavity, but unexpectedly, Xie Qingdai, who had remained silent from beginning to end, suddenly spoke.
"I have a solution."
Zhang Meng quickly responded, "Oh? What does Vice Palace Master Xie have to say?"
Zhang Meng and Xie Qingdai sang in unison, slowly turning the topic to other people, especially Zhang Meng, whose every word revealed a sense of schadenfreude.
Xie Qingdai's voice echoed in the broken chamber. "Let one person be the center of the formation. Gather the strength of all of us and transform it into a powerful sword light to tear the center chamber apart."
"That's easy. Yunheng Sword Master is the best candidate."
Zhang Meng exclaimed, "No, in that case, it should be the Lord of the Scarlet Sky Sword."
"Tian Xing Chi Xiao was born in the midst of evil spirits, absorbing the violent energy from the heaven and earth. If you ask who has the ability to break through the sharp evil spirits, it can only be the mysterious sword of the Ghost Mansion. However, we can't get the sword of the Ghost Mansion, but the sword is right in front of us. The master of the Chi Xiao sword is naturally the only and best candidate."
So you were waiting here?
Xie Tingyu watched Xie Qingdai and Zhang Meng's expressions becoming increasingly ferocious, and he could tell what they were thinking.
I just want to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of her.
I don't know why Xie Qingdai's hatred for her is so strong. Apart from the initial grudge with Xie Chuyang, it was she and Qiu Huan who wronged Xie Chuyang first. This behavior is more like she is afraid of revenge and wants to kill this person first.
Xie Tingyu was the person she was worried might ruin her plans, and she used all sorts of excuses and methods to get rid of him.
"Now that the world of cultivation is facing a disaster of monsters, instead of resisting together, they are killing each other. Aren't they just trying to drag the others down with them?"
"Xie Tingyu, what are you talking about? As the owner of the divine sword Tianxing Chixiao, you should take the responsibility of saving the world of cultivation. Now, not only do you not take on the responsibility, but you are also shirking your responsibilities here. What is your intention?"
"Yes, since Tianxing Chixiao is the key to destroying the central cavity, we should not shirk our responsibilities like this."
Xie Tingyu listened to their accusations without changing her expression. Yun Heng spoke for her, "She has not yet reached the Ascension Realm. If everyone's power is given to her, how can she bear it? How can she survive? They are all a bunch of cowards who talk without any care in their backs."
Xie Tingyu was about to speak when he suddenly felt the world spinning and the figures around him became blurry.
A shadow shining with golden light appeared before my eyes.
There was a golden halo shining above his head.
"Look at these people, they are extremely greedy and pretend to be stupid. Even if they know that this method will definitely kill you, they still want to besiege you for their own interests and force you to compromise. They are really a group of hypocritical and malicious people."
"They keep absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without giving back. All they do is think about is plundering more spiritual energy to cultivate so that they can transcend the tribulation and ascend to become immortals. They don't deserve such benefits, so I want them to die and be replaced by a more powerful race. This is a natural thing, a natural selection."
The guiding voice poured into my eardrums, "Just as you advocate the survival of the fittest, this is still applicable between races."
Xie Tingyu moved his fingers and turned his head. Wen Zhiyu's figure unexpectedly appeared, but it was only an intangible phantom. Wen Zhiyu's gaze was confused and extremely empty.
Wen Zhiyu couldn't see her, but he could feel that she was no longer by his side.
"Can't the Heavenly Dao solve all this? Even if you kill them all, I won't stop you."
"This is called correction." Tiandao laughed.
The halo above His head flickered, and He continued, "That's not what you said before. You even fought against me and tried to enter the wheel of reincarnation to fight me. If that person hadn't taken the opportunity to wipe out all the creatures in the world of cultivation, including himself, and forced the order of heaven to correct the world and start all over again, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me."
"You can guess that I am the one driving the monster tide, but what can you do about it?"
The halo above Tiandao's head flickered continuously as He spoke, and Xie Tingyu resisted the urge to pull Him down.
"I can't touch you, and I won't seal the Demonic Abyss with my body. I will let the monster tide invade the human race in the cultivation world. The winner will become the main race in the cultivation world. I can also lend a helping hand when necessary."
"Do you hate the human race so much?" Tiandao was rarely puzzled when he heard Xie Tingyu's words.
Although He has mastered the laws of this world, from the perspective of Heaven, His age at birth made Him just a cub among the myriad worlds.
He did not see the chaos breaking apart and giving rise to countless worlds, but he saw the birth of all things, full of spiritual energy, and the emergence of humans on earth. They discovered the magical effects of spiritual energy and began to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation.
The scene formed by countless clouds floats before your eyes, like a passing tour, evolving the changes in the world and the evolution of human beings over tens of thousands of years.
Monks survive under the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive.
They have great strength, they can move mountains, crush rocks, go against the current, and shake the earth.
They can even survive the heavenly tribulation and ascend to become immortals, achieving immortality.
It seems that the ascender truly has all the luck in the world.
"I am from the ghost tribe. What does the human race have to do with me?" Xie Tingyu raised his lips. Back then, he was pushed into the monster tide by a few selfish monks and was eaten to death by several monster kings.
In the end, he was still filled with resentment and turned into a vengeful ghost. He accidentally met Hongxiu and was picked up by Hongxiu and taken back to the ghost house.
Later, she transformed herself into a ghost king and returned to the world of cultivation to kill those people, leaving their souls to wander around the world, turning into wandering ghosts before eventually dissipating on their own.
She is not a good person by nature.
"Those who killed you deserved to die, but there were still innocent people. Did you see them all disappear at once?"
"You are the way of heaven. You understand this principle better than I do, that everyone has their own destiny."
It was very strange. Tiandao and she had a deep hatred for each other, but after meeting each other and talking about some inexplicable things, it seemed that their relationship had become much more harmonious.
"Then you guys go back this time, if you don't want to die here." Tiandao turned into a ball of light. Seeing this, Xie Tingyu stretched out his hand and grabbed a ball from the red vertical mark between his eyebrows.
The power of reincarnation from the Wheel of Reincarnation.
"I'll lend you this. Don't touch me, and help me kill someone."
Tiandao can kill people without even lifting a finger, just a thought is enough.
"I'll leave you alone, but you have to kill people yourself. I respect natural replacement, so you don't have to help anyone. This is the condition."
Xie Tingyu carries a great cause and effect. If he is killed rashly, some events will change drastically and affect the future.
In serious cases, accidents may also occur in the reincarnation wheel.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao really wanted to wipe out her, a person who defied Heaven and changed her fate, but was afraid of the cause and effect she had to bear and did not dare to act rashly.
The killing Xie Tingyu wanted was not an easy one.
Killing and destroying one's heart is the best solution.
Xie Qingdai has done many things, some good and some bad.
Someone got a fragment of the furnace of heaven and earth from somewhere and used it to refine the luck of Beiming Yun Palace. As a result, Beiming Yun Palace had not produced any peerless geniuses for a thousand years. The luck of the entire sect was absorbed and used to feed Mo Yuan.
The Demonic Abyss is full of vitality, part of which is the luck accumulated by Beiming Yun Palace over thousands of years.
Xie Qingdai wants to raise demons and destroy the human race.
From a neutral point of view, we have to say that Xie Qingdai has great ambitions. From this point of view, the deaths of those disciples of Beiming Yun Palace are most likely related to her, and Xie Chuyang's death is also strange.
But the way of heaven claims to be fair and will not reveal any unnecessary information to her.
It was a blessing that Heaven was able to reach a preliminary consensus with her and not let her die.
"I thought I was going to fight you again and threaten you that if you don't agree, I will take the entire cultivation world with me to death."
"I didn't expect you to agree so readily."
"I just don't understand human nature, not that I am godless."
Xie Tingyu chuckled, hiding the murderous intent in his eyes, "In that case, let me go back."
The air around him was shaking like ripples on water, changing suddenly.
When he opened his eyes again, everyone was already standing outside the Demonic Abyss. Looking at the demonic energy floating under his feet and the ugly monsters that kept climbing up, Xie Tingyu blinked and heard the harsh sarcasm again.
"It was a good opportunity just now, but you missed it."
"Xie Tingyu, it's really unfortunate that there are people like you in the cultivation world."
"Forcing her to die, what are you? The thing on your neck is just an ornament, but it's not beautiful. What's the point of it existing?"
Wen Zhiyu held her hand tightly and took half a step towards her. Without even a trace of gentleness, frost rushed out along his body and flew towards the people who were shouting the loudest.
The frost froze the soil, trapping their feet in an instant, leaving them no time to react.
He knew she was back.
Xie Tingyu tilted her head. Behind her were countless monks gathered. She did not pretend. Her white clothes were replaced by a black and purple python robe. The long sleeves covered her and Wen Zhi's holding hands.
He wore a crown with jade tassels hanging in front of his eyes, blood lines surrounded his sides, silver light flashed, and the light of a knife appeared.
A giant python shadow rushed out from the Xuanyuan Sword. The python's eyes were blood red, and the snake shadow rolled towards the crowd.
Xie Tingyu's eyes turned purple-gold, like flames burning in his eye sockets, extremely dazzling, and frighteningly weird.
Wen Zhiyu let go of his hand at the right time, and Xie Tingyu raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the knife.
"It is not your turn to tell me how to behave."
Yun Heng saw her like this and silently pulled Chen Chanyi back.
Xie Qingdai's pupils suddenly shrank, and what came into her eyes was a flash of knife light. Warm blood splashed on Xie Qingdai's face, flowed into her neck, and her collar was stained with blood spots, and the blood seeped into her clothes.
Xie Qingdai's heart was pounding.
"The destiny of the human race nurtures monsters and destroys the cultivators of the human race. Is this your ambition? Is this your great cause?" Xie Tingyu sneered, "Kill your disciples with my own hands, frame Xuan Yuntian, and cause internal strife among the sects in the cultivation world so that I can make secret plans?"
Xie Tingyu continued, "Hongxiu, what benefits can you gain from this arrangement?"
Hearing this, Xie Qingdai's expression suddenly changed, and all the emotions on her face disappeared, with a cold look, "You can even guess this? You are worthy of being the child I raised."
"Disgusting." Xie Tingyu turned his head, and the knife stopped in front of Xie Qingdai. The ghost energy corroded Xie Qingdai's skin, and her flesh began to rot, revealing the new skin inside, revealing a new face.
Of course, Xie Tingyu was very familiar with it.
There was a cold look on Hongxiu's face, the coldest expression Xie Tingyu had ever seen on her face.
"You don't know what I'm doing. You have no right to talk about me."
"Kill me, don't you really want to do that to me? Xie Tingyu, you should be more decisive."
Xie Tingyu stared at her face and suddenly laughed out loud.
Everyone around was afraid of Xie Tingyu's appearance. She was filled with ghostly energy and had a strong murderous intent. The black and gold python robe and the crown on her head were enough to prove her identity, the Lord of the Ghost House.
The ghost palace that is in direct confrontation with the cultivation world, and Xie Tingyu, the genius of Xuan Yuntian's extreme star disk, actually has this identity.
They were all surprised that Xie Tingyu had such a big secret hidden behind her.
"The ghosts from the Ghost House dare to act so presumptuously in the world of cultivation? Do you think there is no one in our world of cultivation?" Someone spoke angrily, but no one responded.
He shrank his head in embarrassment, thinking that many people would agree with him, but his words exposed him and were seen by Xie Tingyu.
The clouds in the sky were rolling, and the Xuanyuan Sword made a crisp sound. The position of the Ghost Lord was originally hers.
She didn't have to rob.
"If you want to enter reincarnation, I will help you." Xie Tingyu raised her lips. Upon hearing this, Hongxiu's body obviously stiffened, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Xie Tingyu came closer. She was taller than Hongxiu. She raised her hand and touched the hair on Hongxiu's forehead, and sent a message to her, "Aunt Hongxiu, you hate me so much, there must be a reason. Who do you want to enter reincarnation to save? It's that person, right? The person I look like, the person you can think of when you look at me."
This was the only reason Xie Tingyu could think of. Hongxiu sealed Jiuyuan's ghost into the Buddha statue in Fanyin Temple, accepting the incense from the people in the mortal world. She collected these incense and turned them into merit.
In addition, his consciousness turned into Xie Qingdai, and he used the luck of Beiming Yun Palace to nourish the demon clan, following the way of heaven and gaining the merits of heaven.
Although Hongxiu is the King of Ghosts, her sins are not that serious.
It is clear why she gained merit.
However, Xie Tingyu would not let her have it too easy, "I can help you, but I will erase your consciousness and let you enter the reincarnation wheel and find that person yourself."
Only souls can enter the wheel of reincarnation. Any living being that enters will be in danger of death, and the survival rate is alarmingly low.
It is even said that if Hongxiu lacked a spiritual consciousness, she would enter the reincarnation cycle and there would be no chance of survival.
But Xie Tingyu is the ghost master who controls the reincarnation wheel, and Hongxiu has no choice.
"Okay." Hongxiu had a blank expression on her face, but her eyes were surging like waves, revealing a hint of excitement.
No one knew what Xie Tingyu and Xie Qingdai said. No, the secret of this deputy palace master was not simple either. They seemed to have reached some kind of consensus. Only Xie Tingyu knew that this was what Hongxiu had always dreamed of.
She hated Hongxiu for hiding the truth and scheming for so long, and even for the murderous plot against her. But in the end, she was taken back to the ghost house by Hongxiu, and she had no way to repay this kindness.
When she first entered the ghost house, she was surrounded by powerful ghosts and no one in the ghost house cared about her. Hongxiu just took her back to the ghost house and didn't visit her for a whole month. Even the ghosts that Hongxiu left behind to take care of her were secretly discussing Xie Tingyu's unknown origins.
It was not until Xie Tingyu showed her extraordinary talent in the ghost way that Hongxiu met her. From then on, Hongxiu personally took her to practice and took her to other places in the ghost house to show her face, shock other ghosts and affirm her status.
Hongxiu always let her call her Your Majesty. The first time she showed her vulnerability was when Xie Tingyu broke through the fourth level in a year. Hongxiu stared at Xie Tingyu absentmindedly and muttered to herself, "I miss you."
Xie Tingyu then realized that she seemed to be mistaken for someone else, but who was that person? Xie Tingyu didn't know.
I still don’t know.
Xie Tingyu sighed, and looking at Hongxiu's face with tired but shining eyes, the pressure in his heart broke free, and he felt a lot lighter.
A crisp bell sounded, coming from Wen Zhiyu's red silk headband, and the bone bell at the end of the headband rang.
Xie Tingyu's heart was moved.
The ghost master's heart was moved, why?
Release.
Xie Tingyu felt the heart in his chest resume beating, slowly, then quickly, and then back to normal. His fingers felt a little warmer, still cold, but with warmth.
It turns out that ghosts can have heartbeats and temperature.
The knife flashed and a line of blood appeared on Hongxiu's neck. The blood slowly flowed from the wound instead of spurting out.
Hongxiu's eyelashes trembled for a long time, and then she suddenly opened her eyes. Her voice was stagnant and hesitant, "Why?"
Xie Tingyu's eyes moved, and he raised his hand to throw Hongxiu into the Demonic Abyss. "Your life or death is not judged by me, and whether your life should end or not is not decided by me."
Soon, his gaze fell on several monks in the crowd. Those monks were completely different from the high-spirited ones in his memory. There were scars and dirt on their faces, and they looked weak and listless.
They mustered their energy, held their weapons, and squeezed into the crowd to watch the show.
It was not until Xie Tingyu looked over that they were startled. They all saw Xie Qingdai, the deputy palace master of Beimingyun Palace, defeat the wolf under the Ghost King with one blow.
They couldn't muster the slightest desire to resist, and they all shrank their necks at the same time, trying to hide themselves in the crowd. However, it didn't work as they wished. The people around them moved away at lightning speed, leaving a few people standing in the middle to endure Xie Tingyu's cold gaze.
They seemed to be strangers to each other, but the course of this life changed because of her change of destiny.
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Xie Tingyu closed his eyes and looked away.
In an instant, the monks' legs went weak and they fell to the ground, with fear and confusion in their eyes.
A golden glow appeared around Xie Tingyu, and a surprised voice sounded in his mind, "You are, enlightened by the way of heaven? Why?"
Another why, Tiandao asked why he suddenly realized, Hongxiu asked why he didn't kill.
The ghost energy around Xie Tingyu was dispersed by the golden light and then quickly merged. Xie Tingyu felt that the power in his body was abundant to a certain level.
Her cultivation broke through the ninth level, and she looked up at the electric dragon swimming in the clouds.
The state of ascension, to overcome the heavenly tribulation and ascend.
What a mistake.
Xie Tingyu felt the sudden lightning in the air, and thunder split the sky and suddenly struck down.
It struck Xie Tingyu directly, the jade pendant on his forehead swayed, and the light in his pair of purple-gold eyes deepened. Xie Tingyu raised his hand and waved, and the lightning in his spiritual sea poured out.
Anyone who had said anything bad about her was struck by lightning, and their cries of pain and requests for mercy could be heard everywhere.
The innocent people who were afraid of being implicated fled quickly, and Wen Zhi was sent far away by Xie Tingyu.
Xie Tingyu spoke slowly, with a strong hint of sarcasm, "Why don't you keep yelling?"
"You want me to save all living beings by myself, but you don't even consider whether you are worthy of being one of them."
"Since you can't even withstand the thunder, you don't need to live anymore."
