Chapter 133
"Buzz."
The divine sword made a low roar, and the moment it was unsheathed, the cold air swept across like an avalanche.
The delicate flowers and grass in Yiranju's garden were covered in a layer of hoarfrost, frozen in place in the air. The wind had died down, swirling around in the air, lost in the cold.
Trapped in the cold, the Lanyang Palace disciples' faces paled instantly. The two disciples standing to the left and right of Wen Chunsheng stepped back in surprise, saying bewilderedly, "Yes, yes, Senior Sister..."
"Ling Ren?" Si Yue stood up in the pavilion, his face showing the same surprised expression as the two disciples.
Shui Longyin stood beside 03, his blue eyes fixed on the man Jiuxiao was pointing at, and he said calmly, "Hit?"
"Senior...Sister Xi?" Wen Chunsheng took a small step back, his expression mild, replaced by confusion. More than fear, his eyes and face were filled with bewilderment. "But how have I offended Senior Xi... Why are you pointing a sword at me?"
"If there is anything that may have caused you to misunderstand, please let me know."
Wen Chunsheng's breathing became rapid. He clasped his hands together, bowed his head deeply and saluted 03.
The whole scene seemed like 03 was forcing him.
However, the more polite Wen Chunsheng was, the more interesting 03 found it. She curled her lips and thought: This is indeed a high-level mission world. There are already three villains!
"Jing Xing", Xue Bufan, Wen Chunsheng.
"You shouldn't be in Lanyang Palace." 03 said to Wen Chunsheng, his cold voice without a trace of mockery, only seriousness.
The entire Lianshan sect is "missing", Xue Bufan "disappeared" in front of his "acquaintances", and "Jingxing" is the dean of Wendao Academy, enjoying the glory of being the number one person under the Heavenly Dao. For 03, these are all plots in the established storyline, and she will cooperate with Feng Jue to let the whole story go along the route she wants.
However, "he" should not appear in Lanyang Palace.
Lanyang Palace is the Lanyang Palace of Feng Jue.
He buried the nail in the Lanyang Palace, wanting to target - who?
Nothing could happen to Feng Jue, and neither could anything happen to her cherished Lanyang Palace. To protect Feng Jue, it wouldn't matter if this masquerade was revealed sooner rather than later.
03 curved his lips and politely said to Wen Chunsheng: "Hello, you have been possessed by a spirit body, I want to kill you."
Wen Chunsheng's pupils shrank uncontrollably, turning black. The two disciples behind him were horrified and said quickly, "How is this possible? Senior Brother has been with us the entire time, entering and leaving Lanyang Palace to undergo Green Jade Pearl testing. It's absolutely impossible for him to be possessed by a demonic cultivator!"
"Yes, and Senior Brother Wen has never done anything bad!"
Si Yue frowned and said slowly, "Lian Heng, Zhong Yu, you two should step back."
“Elder…”
When Si Yue spoke, the two Lanyang Palace disciples couldn't believe it, but they had to step back and look at them in confusion in the cold air.
Wen Chunsheng was trembling all over, and seemed to be forced into a desperate situation by 03's pressure.
"Stop pretending! You still have time to run away now." 03 opened the villain's quote book and said in a rhythmic voice, "You can't escape my Five Finger Mountain!"
Wen Chunsheng's mind raced with speculation, all sorts of speculations surfacing and disappearing. His face concealed the pain, and he spoke in a trembling voice, "I wasn't possessed by a demon cultivator..."
"That's right."
Feng Jue's voice came from the room. She was originally regulating her breathing when she heard the noise outside the room and watched indifferently. She watched Wen Chunsheng bend his back and salute 03 respectfully, but the shadow of another person emerged in her mind.
At this moment, Feng Jue suddenly remembered something.
As the leader of the Nine Heavens Sect, Zhang Ye commands countless demonic cultivators, but he is never a demonic cultivator; he is simply evil. She once discussed this with 03: if it aligns with a cultivator's moral principles, even slaying the entire world is righteousness. Zhang Ye is a man who embraces evil as his path.
Feng Jue slowly stood up and walked out of the room. The phoenix collar on her chest lit up. Her voice was as cold as her eyes.
"You haven't been possessed by the demon cultivator, but someone else has." Feng Jue whispered, and the phoenix flew out of the collar, spread its colorful wings, and circled around her, singing softly.
Wen Chunsheng's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad premonition. He took a step back and looked at the phoenix flying on the mountain.
Feng Jue laughed and said sarcastically, "This is a magical weapon abandoned by a demon cultivator from Pingjin City for self-defense. But that demon cultivator seems unaware that this magical weapon is actually a sacred artifact passed down by the Phoenix clan. It recognizes me as its master, illuminates the world, and helps me identify those with different spirits within a radius of 100 meters."
Huh?
03 Turning to look at Feng Jue, he heard her say calmly, "You are not Wen Chunsheng at all. Taking over another person's body is not tolerated by the laws of nature. No matter who you are, you came at the wrong time. Die!"
The phoenix sings and the phoenix dances, its gorgeous wings cast colorful light, as if it can drive away all the darkness in the world.
Artifact?
The bad premonition came true. Wen Chunsheng rubbed his fingers in his sleeves and was about to speak when a silver-white sword light suddenly attacked without any reservation. Wen Chunsheng subconsciously raised his hand and unsheathed his sword.
“Crack—”
The translucent divine weapon cut off the iron sword indifferently and moved forward without mercy. Wen Chunsheng raised his hand to stop 03 from stabbing him in the chest.
long sword.
"Senior Brother Wen!"
The faces of the others present changed drastically, staring in shock at the man who remained calm despite being attacked by a late-stage Spiritualization cultivator. Wen Chunsheng's cultivation was clearly at the Golden Core stage, so how could he possibly withstand a Spiritualization cultivator? So...
"Is Senior Brother Wen really possessed?"
"Hehe." The fear on Wen Chunsheng's face disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile. He didn't seem to care about the people present at all. He just sighed softly, looked at the phoenix collar around Feng Jue's neck, and murmured, "So I am..."
You're shooting yourself in the foot.
I just wanted to use the relic from the Phoenix Tomb to lure the Phoenix to get the "Phoenix Secret", but I didn't expect that this thing was actually a divine weapon.
"I'm so pious, I worship gods and immortals whenever I see them, but heaven never favors me." Dark tides welled up in Wen Chunsheng's eyes, and he muttered to himself in a voice no one could hear, "It doesn't matter. What's mine, I'll make plans myself."
"03." Feng Jue said in a deep voice.
Before her last words faded, her life-defining magical weapon materialized from her palm, a golden-red flame leaping up, and a colorful phoenix fluttering down from the sky. A cry echoed through the heavens, and a lingering chill, a flash of cold light, pierced the person ahead.
The water dragon's chant transformed into a long dragon, roaring and rising. Si Yuefei stood in front of the two disciples to protect them, "Let's go!"
The two disciples turned around and ran, flying into the sky on their swords, heading towards the main hall of Qihuang Peak.
Behind them, the whole mountain was shining with golden light. Wen Chunsheng escaped from the concentrated fire of four people in the God Transformation Stage and jumped high into the sky. He calmly brushed his clothes and showed a smile as gentle as spring breeze and rain.
"Do you think you can win--" Before Wen Chunsheng could finish his words with a smile, a sword with the light of mountain ice and snow came whistling. Wen Chunsheng's eyes showed displeasure, and he raised his bare hands to block the sword light.
The silver-white light pierced his palm like a spear piercing a shield. Wen Chunsheng's aura changed in an instant, his cultivation level slowly improved, and the pressure of the early stage of the Void Refining Stage spread out, extending to the entire Lanyang Palace.
In the front mountain, Ling Shi, who was catching fish in the lake, looked pale. The fish in her arms fell into the water with a "plop", but could not escape, and lay motionless with its belly turned up. The pine boy, who was soaking his feet in the water, looked up at the sky, his palms resting on the ground, as if countless roots were buried in the soil, connecting the millions of creatures in the mountains.
The grass and trees swayed in the wind, looking at the terrifying man in the sky.
"Start, the fight has begun." Ling Shi, fearful yet determined, transformed into a dragon and flew towards Feng Jue.
At Qihuang Peak, Siyi looked at the two pale-faced men kneeling on the ground and said calmly, "Start the formation."
Lanyang Palace, Lanyang City.
Thousands of disciples' waist badges lit up, and they looked up in surprise,
The mountain protection formation was activated, covering the city. The bustling city suddenly fell silent, and countless people asked in panic, "What's wrong? What happened?"
On the top of the mountains, Wen Chunsheng, dressed in scarlet disciple uniform, calmly looked at everyone across the barrier. His gaze shifted from the arrogant and indifferent Feng Jue to the expressionless silver-haired woman standing with a sword.
"Shui Longyin, he doesn't have you in his eyes." 03 said.
Shui Longyin: "Oh."
The blue dragon took flight, leaping out of the barrier with 03. Feng Jue flew onto the back of the Fire Rock Dragon, controlling the phoenix to guard the two. The artifact was the supreme magical treasure under heaven, consuming an extraordinary amount of spiritual energy, but Feng Jue remained calm, his dark eyes gazing at the man in the air with a gentle smile.
Wen Chunsheng smiled and said, "You don't know your own limitations."
03 said in a gentle voice: "You are very self-aware."
Hearing this, Wen Chunsheng's smile deepened, but a layer of coldness covered his eyes. The moment he raised his hand, the attacking swords stopped in his spiritual power. Wen Chunsheng clenched his fingers, and the suspended swords "crackled" like ice, turning into flying ice chips and waving towards the blue dragon.
“Boom!”
A deafening roar echoed from the sky. Qiu Shuangshuang, who was in the forest, looked up in shock, staring at the falling Shui Longyin. She asked in panic, "Shui Longyin can't beat him?"
"Water Dragon Roar." 03, surprised, went to catch the blue dragon that had been knocked away. Even faster than her was the Phoenix, which spread its wings. Feng Jue stood atop the Fire Rock Dragon and locked eyes with 03.
"Be careful." Feng Jue said silently.
Wen Chunsheng is Zhang Ye's puppet, and his strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.
03 nodded, turned around in the air, and looked at Wen Chunsheng.
"You can't fight me with your current strength." Wen Chunsheng put his hands behind his back, looking like he had no intention of killing 03. He smiled and said, "I'll let you live."
03 blinked and said calmly, "You're welcome."
Wen Chunsheng smiled and said, "Oh, are you about to break through? Senior Sister, I also participated in the Shuanglong Secret Realm. I'm very curious about one thing: why didn't you have the thunder when you broke through?"
Inside the barrier, Feng Jue's eyes flashed as he stared at Wen Chunsheng's smiling face. At this moment, Wen Chunsheng was not as kind and gentle as usual. He was like a bottomless abyss, filled with pitch-black darkness. He opened his cold eyes silently, hiding his ill intentions under the coldness, and hypocritically picked the fish on the chopping board.
"03, be careful." Feng Jue repeated in a low voice again, her eyes lowered and swept across the forest, she gripped the long whip tightly.
Silver-white spiritual energy rolled towards the sky. When the silver-white suddenly broke, heavy snow fell. 03 Raised the sky, the glittering sword reflected her cold eyes. She
He opened his lips and whispered, "Ten Thousand Swords—"
"Hundred Phoenixes"
"rise."
"Chao Huang."
The silver-white sword and the golden-red phoenix flew up at the same time in the heavy snow. The mortals and monks in Lanyang City looked up at the surging silver-white and golden-red in the sky.
Between silver and gold, white and red, an ice-blue dragon leaped up, with a look of disdain in its eyes.
"roar!"
"Hahaha." Wen Chunsheng laughed loudly, and raised his palm lightly, covering the mountains outside Lanyang Palace and Lanyang City. The mountains and rocks shattered, and countless stones flew up from the ground to block him.
The sword light was sharp, the phoenix was domineering, and the divine weapon was mighty, and they collided with the thick rocks with a loud bang.
The rocks could not turn into fragments in an instant, and they looked helplessly at the cold, snow, flames, and water all attacking Wen Chunsheng. Wen Chunsheng raised his hand again with a smile on his face.
“Boom boom boom—”
The entire sky turned into a huge fireworks field, with endless roars and lingering snow mist. Wen Chunsheng narrowed his eyes and was about to raise his hand to disperse the annoying fog, when a vine with tender leaves came out from nowhere and directly tied his arm.
"A diversion?" Wen Chunsheng whispered, "So you have help."
Binghuo left the stage, and in the gradually clear sky, a small shadow stood in front, looking at Wen Chunsheng with emerald green eyes. As a member of the same Void Refinement Stage, the pressure of the shadow was revealed, and he competed with Wen Chunsheng.
Ling Shi roared, "Song Tongzi, it's him! Beat him!"
03 Raise the Nine Skies: “Come on!”
"Yes!" Song Tongzi nodded, clasped his hands together, and dozens of emerald green magic circles appeared in the air. Vines emerged from the magic circles and whipped towards Wen Chunsheng without hesitation.
Each vine carries a tremendous force, stirring up the wind and clouds and shaking people's hearts.
Shui Longyin, standing behind Song Tongzi, stared intently at the vines that were left in the air and whispered, "When my holder breaks through the realm of refining emptiness, I will fight you."
"Shh, talk about this later." 03 taught Shui Longyin the skills of being a good person.
Shui Longyin nodded.
When Song Tongzi heard them talking about when to fight with it, his eyes turned red. Unfortunately, there was a severe drought in the place where the black turtle stayed this year, and there was really not much rain. He couldn't shed tears, so he could only frown and slap his opponent.
One of Wen Chunsheng's hands was entangled by vines, and he used his other hand to exert spiritual power to fight against the flying vines. However, it didn't take long before he smiled lightly and suddenly grabbed a vine, allowing the other vines to entangle him tightly.
Wen Chunsheng kept smiling, as if he had a backup plan.
03Dancing to the sky, he suddenly said:
"Wen Chunsheng, I want to tell you something. What Feng Jue said just now, the Phoenix Collar Artifact is real, but the Soul Insight is fake. I've disliked you for a long time, and this was just a test."
Wen Chunsheng's smile froze and he looked at 03.
The vines attacked and bound him bit by bit. He stared into 03's clear eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
03 He raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Actually, what I said just now was a lie."
“…”
"Oh."
A low sneer came from deep within the vines, and in the darkness, a golden light shone in Wen Chunsheng's eyes.
Outside the barrier, 03, Water Dragon's Roar, Song Tongzi simultaneously looked towards the vines tangled into a cocoon. With crackling sounds, the tightly bound vines began to break apart from the inside out, layer by layer.
In comparison, Wen Chunsheng's cultivation level was improving bit by bit.
The middle stage of Lianxu, the late stage of Lianxu - until the early stage of fusion.
The terrifying pressure made 03's heart skip a beat. She opened her eyes wide, suddenly turned around to look at Feng Jue, and frowned.
Feng Jue looked at 03 and thought: What are you hesitating about?
However, Wen Chunsheng, whose cultivation had reached the early stage of fusion, did not attack the three. He glanced at them, smiled coldly, and said, "I will spare your lives for now."
As he spoke, he actually shrunk to an inch and disappeared outside the barrier in the blink of an eye.
"He's gone?" Song Tongzi said in surprise.
Just leave like that?
Shui Longyin: "Gone?"
03: "Gone."
Song Tongzi asked doubtfully, "I haven't come into contact with many human cultivators. Are all hostile cultivators like this?"
"No." 03 glanced at the place where Wen Chunsheng left and said calmly, "He won't kill us because we are still useful to him."
Feng Jue, who was in the barrier, was slightly moved when she heard what 03 said. A shocking guess arose in her heart. If Zhang Ye could possess Wen Chunsheng and Xue Bufan, why couldn't he possess others?
Once this idea emerged from the bottom of my heart, I could no longer suppress it.
Feng Jue was horrified when he thought of the "Jingxing" who was not stingy with magic weapons in the name of resisting Zhang Ye in the Wendao Academy, "exploiting" the Wendao Secret Realm to inspire the students to practice, and wishing that they could achieve enlightenment on the spot.
If Xue Bufan had already been chosen, why did he still want to possess Wen Chunsheng? And when was Wen Chunsheng possessed?
Feng Jue was full of doubts. He frowned and opened the barrier to let the three people come back.
"Feng Jue, I'm sorry." 03 explained to Feng Jue, "I was impulsive, but I can't let him stay in Lanyang.
Palace."
"You did very well." Feng Jue said immediately, reaching out to hug 03, leaning on her shoulder, and whispered, "Very good." If Zhang Ye's soul was allowed to stay in Lanyang Palace, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Feng Jue, get the "Feng Jue" back as soon as possible," 03 said.
"Yeah." Feng Jue nodded.
Her mood today was full of ups and downs. The joy of obtaining the artifact and learning the "Phoenix Secret" was completely drowned out by the battle with Zhang Ye's puppet. Zhang Ye once dominated the Divine Land and was extremely powerful. Even a small puppet could show such powerful strength.
Feng Jue felt a lot of pressure and held 03's hand tightly.
The group returned to Yiran Residence. Siyi arrived at some point and hesitantly said to Feng Jue, "Wen Chunsheng once had a secret meeting with Gu Yuqing, a former disciple of Deyang Peak. I ordered someone to investigate Wen Chunsheng, but they didn't find any flaws in his behavior."
"Wen Chunsheng was brought back to Lanyang Palace by Elder Zhao when he was young. He has been in Lanyang Palace longer than I have. Could it be that he has already been possessed by another body?"
Feng Jue smiled coldly and said, "I understand."
"Siyi, from today on, you don't have to return to the academy. You'll stay in Lanyang Palace." Feng Jue said, "From today on, the Lanyang Palace and Lanyang City formation will be active day and night. You're only allowed to leave, not enter."
She stood with her hands down, looking at the people before her. With 03 present, they were all trusted confidants and friends. Feng Jue calmly told everyone, "The one who possessed Wen Chunsheng's body must be the demonic spirit that was not eradicated back then, Zhang Ye!"
"His methods are treacherous. Everyone, please protect yourselves. Even close friends and confidants should not be trusted."
“Boom.”
The thunder from the sky fell without mercy, and the heaven and earth, which formed a world of their own, wailed and trembled.
In the Ink Pavilion, Jingxing was poring over the chess game he lost to 03 the last time. He remained calm amidst the roar of thunder until a streak of white light descended. Lanzhi, holding a scroll, saluted Jingxing with a pale face and said anxiously, "Master, the formation I left in the Northern Frontier has been destroyed. Someone is trying to break into the Demonic Realm!"
"Boom—"
Another thunderclap sounded, and the purple lightning illuminated Jingxing's face, half bright and half dark. He frowned, stood up, and said, "Follow me to the northern border."
"yes."
Jingxing stood up and put one hand on Lanzhi's shoulder. A white light flashed and the people in Mo Ting disappeared instantly.
Northern Frontier.
The sky is filled with yellow sand and the sun is scorching.
The scorching sun almost distorted the space, leaving only the yellow sand and the color of the sky.
In the extreme heat and desolation, a woman in white stood in the yellow sand. She calmly raised her palm and stretched it forward. Suddenly, a golden barrier appeared and suddenly her arm
The object flew away, and the woman hissed, shook her hand, and drew out her sword.
"Stop!" A scolding voice came from the sky. Lan Zhi jumped down, and the scroll opened to cover the woman. When she saw the person clearly, she couldn't help but say in disbelief, "Gu Qing, is it you?"
The woman she settled in Xuanyin Mountain looked back and looked past her at the man behind her.
"Oh, Master Jing?" Gu Qing curled up the corners of his mouth and revealed a gentle smile, "Long time no see."
Lan Zhi was surprised and asked, "Master, do you know her?"
Jing Xing frowned and said, "I don't know her at all. This is the Demon Realm barrier. What do you want to do?"
"Haha, hahaha." Gu Qing suddenly laughed. At the same time, another laugh came from behind Jingxing and Lanzhi. Lanzhi turned around and found that a man appeared behind her at some point. His face was very familiar.
"Are you... a disciple of Lanyang Palace?" Lan Zhi asked.
Wen Chunsheng ignored her and said to Jing Xing, "Master Jing, we want to destroy the Demon Realm's barrier. What do you think? Do you want to help us or stop us?" There was a faint golden light in his eyes, hidden deep inside.
Lan Zhi was horrified when she heard this and didn't even think about taking action.
The scroll wrapped around the woman glowed brightly. Gu Qing, who was entangled in the scroll, screamed and fell to the ground, wailing, "Senior Sister Lan Zhi, don't!"
Lan Zhi paused, but saw Gu Qing in the painting curl his lips and said with a helpless smile: "Disciple, I teach you to be gentle and kind, but you must not be indecisive towards the enemy, otherwise -"
"Gu Qing" suddenly burst out with powerful pressure and easily escaped from the scroll.
Lan Zhi was shocked. She couldn't understand why Gu Qing, who was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, suddenly became a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator overnight. She quickly asked Jing Xing for help.
Gu Qing, who was straightening his clothes, and Wen Chunsheng, who was standing behind Jing Xing, smiled at the same time and said in a gentle voice, "Disciple, what's the matter?"
"..." Lan Zhi slowly opened her mouth, took a step back, and said miserably: "Master... Master?"
Why...?
The true master in her eyes remained motionless, seemingly lost in confusion. Wen Chunsheng raised his hand and placed it on the shoulder of the First Person of the Heavenly Dao without any respect. He approached him and said gently, "How long do you want to be Jingxing? I've been busy for many years, and it's time for you to make your own appearance."
"Gu Qing" opposite turned his head, and his golden eyes met Jing Xing's, with light flowing in them, as if there were mysterious ripples flowing.
"boom."
The formation engraved in his soul shattered, and dusty memories emerged, expelling the memories of another person. Jing Xing closed his eyes, then raised them again, sighed softly, and said, "Another move behind in Lanyang Palace!"
And—thinking
He couldn't tell which of the words Xi Lingren said were true and which were false.
"Master?!" Lan Zhi saw that "Jingxing" not only did not stop the two of them, but actually started talking to him. Unspeakable horror surged in her heart. Her body trembled, and she closed her eyes, took out the communication talisman from the storage ring, and turned around to escape.
Unfortunately, the person she once trusted most suddenly became a mountain standing in her way. The communication talisman was silently crushed by spiritual power before it could even fly. "Gu Qing" said, "This body's spiritual veins and sea of consciousness are severed. It is already useless and of no use. I will replace it with her."
After she finished speaking, a golden fragment flew out from her body. The woman who was originally smiling gently suddenly showed a confused look on her face. Before she could see the surrounding environment clearly, her eyes went dark and her soul died in the yellow sand.
Lan Zhi glanced at the two men with their backs to her and the golden fragments flying straight towards her. Her eyes turned red and she raised her hand without hesitation and slapped it towards her sea of consciousness.
"ah!!"
The golden fragments stopped in mid-air, helplessly looking at Lan Zhi, who had lost her immortality and collapsed on the ground in pain, and sighed, "The material I have nurtured for so many years is ruined like this."
Gu Yuqing is already dead, so I can only use this body.
The golden soul sank into Lan Zhi's body, spreading out like a silk net and covering Lan Zhi's soul. It gnawed away at the right size bit by bit like a termite, embedding the silk net completely inside.
After a long time, Lan Zhi opened her eyes, stood up calmly, and said gently, "Put out the firewood inside first. The day you and I clear out the 'demon head' will be the day when merit and virtue descend upon us."
The large vermilion ship moved forward rapidly. In the cabin, Feng Jue was playing with the ball in his hand and silently glanced at 03 who was reading a storybook with a flowery face.
"03." She called 03's name, frowned, and hesitated, "Why didn't you break through when you fought Wen Chunsheng that day? Were you afraid of being exposed in front of him?"
"Huh?" 03 looked up, glanced at Feng Jue in surprise, and said in astonishment, "Feng Jue, haven't you read the Hun Yuan Jue? In the first chapter of the Hun Yuan Jue, it says that dual cultivators must be at the same level. I've been working very hard to suppress my cultivation in order to dual cultivate with you!"
The author has something to say
Work Log
I was almost breaking through, haha.
