Chapter 109: As a wild dog, try your best to survive. The last resort...
Qingxuan learned from Fuzawa the cause and result of the murder of his friend Dongsheng. He knew that Xuanji, as a Zen disciple, actually had a strong desire for revenge. Even if he was sure that he was the one who did it, he would not kill him easily.
This is also the reason why Qingxuan can remain calm. He will not die in a short period of time when facing Xuan Ji.
Although everything went according to his plan, Xuan Ji's combat power was too outstanding, forcing him to leave Roper early.
Although the Luoper Zen Sect would protect him, he also realized that they would never kill Xuan Ji. As long as Xuan Ji was not dead, there would always be hidden dangers.
"Leave Roper now." Qingxuan said to Mingxin.
Mingxin was unusually clever. "Since Xuanji is so vindictive, wouldn't it be exactly what he wants if we left the Zen sect?"
Qingxuan said, "It's dangerous in the Zen sect. All his skills were taught by Buddhism, and the Luoper teachers are not very advanced. They cannot comprehend the deeper methods. Xuanji wants to come back and kill me quietly, which is easy. I'm afraid it's too late to invite you brothers to come this time. - No need to say more, leave the Zen sect immediately."
After saying this, his tone softened a bit. "Brother, I'm a cripple now. I'll leave everything to you from now on."
After saying this, he coughed violently, coughing out fragments of internal organs.
Qingxuan frowned slightly. Although the best elixir could restore his internal organs to their original state, he could feel that Xuan Ji's sword intent still remained in his body, continuously crushing his bones and flesh.
There was trouble. Lecturer Hong failed to absorb all of Xuan Ji's sword intent. This showed that Lecturer Hong's understanding of the sword was not as profound as Xuan Ji's. In order to completely eliminate these remaining sword intents, he needed to find a sword cultivator with profound cultivation. Otherwise, even if his dantian was filled, the sword intent would continue to damage his roots and realm.
Xuan Ji was clearly practicing Zen, yet his understanding of the way of the sword had reached this level.
What an enviable...jealous talent.
Qingxuan and Mingxin left Roper immediately.
On the other side, Wu Yunsu opened his eyes from meditation, held his breath for a moment, and received the message from Zi Gu.
Xuan Ji was caught while fighting at the Luopo Zen Temple, and then escaped on the way to Avici.
And Qingxuan became a useless person.
Wu Yunsu's eyes deepened for a moment, and his fingers moved slightly. Now was a good time to kill Qingxuan.
But it didn't work. The last time Mingxin was able to provoke anger was because Mingxin was dissatisfied with Qingxuan. But now, Mingxin had no dissatisfaction with Qingxuan, and even felt a little pity for him, so his Gu lost its effect.
Wu Yunsu once again felt his own weakness and powerlessness.
In fact, he did not feel very sad about Xuan Ji's accident, but he knew that if the young cultivator knew that Xuan Ji destroyed his future for him, he would definitely be very sad.
A large part of the reason for this result is his weakness.
If Mingxin had been controlled to kill Qingxuan the first time, Xuanji would not have betrayed Buddhism.
It is obvious that Qingxuan has been hiding many things from Mingxin, but Mingxin can always be easily appeased by him, and his dissatisfaction with him has become less and less. Now, he accepts Qingxuan's efforts with peace of mind.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Wu Yunsu to drive Mingxin to attack Qingxuan again.
Wu Yunsu knew that Qingxuan wanted to kill him, but he didn't care. Qingxuan's plan would not succeed because Mingxin could not do anything to him.
He was briefly confused, but soon his eyes became firm.
He couldn't rely on anyone else, he could only rely on himself. If Xuan Ji couldn't kill Qing Xuan and the others, then he would do it, and he would avenge Xiao Qiu.
*
Xie Xiyi looked at the end of the silk thread in his hand, which had already left Roper.
The expression on his face at this moment was very calm, too calm.
If the ball was here, it would know through the blood connection that he was extremely angry and in pain at this moment, but he became so calm instead.
Only Xie Xiyi knew that his brain was empty at this moment.
Sometimes it takes a long time to accept something.
But Xie Xiyi couldn't accept it, so his emotions seemed to be taken away, and he was like a person with nothing wrong. Only his reason drove his body to do what he should do.
After cutting Qingxuan into pieces, they used a protective magic weapon to extract his soul, placed it in a soul lamp, and roasted it with the Nine Netherworld Fire day and night, leaving him unable to live or die.
He slowly planned Qingxuan's death in his mind.
No, that made it too easy for him.
Just like with that evil cultivator, he tortured him every day and used pills to keep him alive...
Emotions gently emerged at this moment——
Xiaoqiu died, Chi Yu was swallowed by the crack in the secret realm, and the cause and effect line of this world has been broken. Obviously, there is no other outcome for them except death.
Xie Xiyi tried his best to control himself and suppress the emotion. Immersing himself in such emotion would only make him lose his judgment of the situation.
But the emotions that had been suppressed for so long now swept over like a raging storm.
His face remained expressionless, but a hint of coldness tinged his jade-white face. Meaningless sounds escaped from his throat, and his golden pupils showed signs of turning black.
Even though he had refined twenty-six sections of Buddha bones, under such intense emotional fluctuations, the devil's heart actually had a tendency to break through the shackles and control his body.
He tightly grasped the clear and profound thread of cause and effect.
He cannot let the evil heart control him. Chi Yu doesn't want to see him like this.
However, the overwhelming emotions had no outlet and could only helplessly swirl and accumulate in Xie Xiyi's mind -
Chi Yu... Chi Yu, who was so lively, brave and full of vigor, actually died.
He hadn't told him his feelings yet. He promised to protect him, but he didn't do it.
He was only eighteen years old, and considering the 500-year lifespan of the Foundation Establishment Period, he was considered a young child.
The light in his golden eyes flickered, and black mist began to surge around his body.
Xie Xiyi closed his eyes and looked into his heart. More than twenty sections of Buddha bones emitted golden light, suppressing the evil heart that was breeding black mist.
It took a long time to suppress the evil heart and the surging out-of-control emotions.
The black mist receded and Xie Xiyi regained his sanity.
His expression was calm as he lowered his head slightly to examine the thread of cause and effect in his hand. Suddenly, a drop of water fell into his palm.
Xie Xiyi raised his palm in confusion to look at the drop of liquid, and reached out with his other hand to dip it in it, gently twisting it between his fingertips. Before he could figure out what it was, more drops of liquid dripped onto the back of his palm.
Only then did he realize that the liquid flowing from his eye sockets was actually tears.
Just as monks have eliminated their appetites and the cycle of food and drink, sweat and tears have also been eliminated and sealed early on.
Things that were supposed to no longer exist are now falling like endless rain.
Xie Xiyi used his spiritual power with his fingers and gently touched his eyes to seal the tears again. He then used the Dust Cleansing Technique to clear the moisture from his face and hands.
Next, continue to catch Qingxuan.
Xie Xiyi curled his lips, smiled as if nothing had happened, and said to himself: "Qingxuan, you can't run away."
After coming out of the Wuliang Secret Realm, the love poison was no longer suppressed, and because of Chi Yu's accident, his emotions were surging. Even if he managed to suppress it, his body and mind were still sensitive, which further contributed to the pollution of the love poison.
Before his realm declines, he will cut Qingxuan and others into pieces - even cutting them into pieces to refine soul lamps will not be enough to ease the hatred in his heart. He wants to make them regret being born into this world for the rest of their lives.
*
Qingxuan suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. Mingxin noticed it and stopped to ask, "Junior brother, what's wrong?"
Qingxuan pursed his lips and said, "We have to hurry up. I feel like Xuanji is chasing us."
Ming Xin said, "There's still some distance to go to Wanqiong Continent, Junior Brother, this is already the fastest speed of the flying magic weapon."
Qingxuan sat on the flying magic weapon. The strong wind outside was blocked outside the barrier, but the little breeze that seeped out still made his robes flutter. Against the backdrop of his cold and handsome face, he looked a bit like an immortal.
"Junior brother, can Fuzawa do it?" Mingxin asked.
Qingxuan glanced at him and replied calmly, "I have already handed the jade slip to him. If he is a little eloquent, he will be able to handle this matter."
Mingxin said sarcastically, "Junior brother, it seems that you rely on this Fuze even more than on me, your senior brother."
In the past few months, Mingxin has been saying these strange things intermittently. Qingxuan went from being uncomfortable at first to being familiar with it now. "Brother, Ukisawa is just an outsider, but we are brothers and sisters. We are together. Ukisawa is an excellent fighter, and you are my brother who depends on me for survival."
Such simple words calmed Mingxin down, "I hope that Ukizawa won't let us down."
Qingxuan felt even more anxious. He stood up and looked around while holding the flying magic weapon.
The layers of white clouds emitted a faint golden light under the sunlight, and under the strong wind, they dispersed and gathered, and there was no suspicious human figure.
There were a few ship-shaped flying instruments slowly traveling through the clouds, but because they were too slow, they were left far behind by the two of them.
"Junior brother, you have become a mortal now. Just sit down and rest. I will bring you to Wanqiong Continent safely." Mingxin assured Qingxuan.
Qingxuan sat down absentmindedly, took out the jade talisman and contacted Fuzawa.
Only after receiving the reply did he put away the jade talisman.
"Senior Brother," Qingxuan called out.
"What's wrong?"
Qingxuan said: "Expand your spiritual sense and be alert to your surroundings."
Ming Xin said, "Junior brother, you are too cautious. Xuan Ji did escape, but he was able to escape from those Buddhist disciples. He must have gone through a tough battle. He might be recovering from his injuries right now. You don't need to be so nervous."
Qingxuan asked, "What if he ignores his injuries and still wants to hunt us down?"
"ah?"
Qing Xuan said calmly, "Brother, after all this time, don't you still understand Xuan Ji? Although he is very talented, he has no taboos and will never give up. Although he comes from a privileged family, he has a ruthlessness that even casual cultivators cannot match. We must not take him lightly and must be extremely cautious."
After a pause, he continued, "Brother, I have attracted all his attention. I am afraid that I will be killed. Could you please give me your protective magic weapon that can gather the spirit?"
Mingxin hesitated a little, "If I give it to you, what should I do?"
Although Mingxin was a second-generation immortal, most of his cultivation resources have been dissipated by now, and he only has one magical protective weapon.
Qingxuan said, "With me here, Xuanji will definitely come to deal with me first. Brother, you can take this opportunity to escape. However, please have mercy on me and take this opportunity to find Fuze."
Mingxin thought about it and felt that this method was feasible, so he readily agreed.
He also felt that his hesitation just now seemed a bit unreasonable, so he said: "Junior brother, please don't blame me just now. Although we are like brothers, I must consider myself first."
Qingxuan said: "It's human nature."
He pinched the soul bead, and his heart reluctantly fell back into his stomach.
Even if the physical body is destroyed, at least the soul can be preserved for a period of time.
Based on his understanding of Xuan Ji, he would probably refine a soul lamp for him.
Qingxuan's eyes deepened slightly. It was so easy to understand a person who was furious.
Xuan Ji was easier to calculate than he had imagined. The so-called future disciple of Buddha was no more than that.
Although there is a great risk that he will die, the possibility of him surviving is also very high.
In Paradise City, he couldn't sympathize with the gamblers. But now, he transformed into a crazy gambler, trying to use his own life to get the most generous rewards.
Xuan Ji, after the small ball, I will start with you, and then it will be your family.
You are my stepping stone to enter the immortal gate of Wanqiongzhou and climb the ladder to heaven.
Qingxuan's cold eyes were filled with obvious ambition, and because of the ambition, those cold eyes were filled with a captivating light.
After a few quarters of an hour, Mingxin placed a spirit stone on the flying magic weapon, making it fly automatically, while he sat down and took the elixir to restore his spiritual power.
"Junior brother, we only have one day left to reach Wanqiong Continent." Mingxin said to Qingxuan.
"Um."
Qingxuan held the jade talisman, rubbing it from time to time, with his eyes slightly lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, their flying magic weapon suddenly shook.
Qingxuan looked up suddenly, and Mingxin immediately stood up and walked to the control hub to check it carefully before saying, "Don't worry, it's just passing by the Wind Spirit Eye."
As soon as he finished speaking, the flying magic weapon shook violently again.
The spiritual storm brought by the Wind Spirit Eye darkened the sky, with flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder.
In order to avoid the Wind Spirit Eye, Mingxin used his spiritual power again to control the flying magic weapon before he had recovered.
The barrier surrounding the magic weapon was struck by lightning and trembled a few times. Mingxin turned around and said, "Junior brother, go in--"
Before he could finish his words, his eyes widened in astonishment.
Qingxuan is missing.
*
Qingxuan woke up from the chaos, and in just a moment, he understood his situation.
Xuan Ji came faster than he had imagined.
He opened his eyes, looked around calmly, and saw Xuan Ji.
He was still wearing the attire of a Roper Zen disciple at this time, with his back to him, and no one knew what he was doing.
Qingxuan lowered his head. Although his dantian was shattered and he had become a cripple and could no longer do anything, his limbs were still tied up, which was a bit too cautious.
Senior brother is not very reliable, but Ukisawa is still reliable.
Qingxuan spoke calmly: "Senior Brother Xuanji, what are you doing?"
Xie Xiyi turned around, holding a top-grade spirit stone between his two slender fingers. He looked at him expressionlessly, then raised the corners of his lips as if nothing had happened, revealing a very cold smile, "You can guess."
Qingxuan didn't understand what he meant, but remained calm, "Senior Brother Xuanji, are you trying to refine me into a soul lamp?"
Xie Xiyi said calmly, "No, that's too simple."
Qingxuan was stunned, a little confused about what he meant, but he still spoke in a cold tone, "Junior Brother Long, it is indeed not my fault. Senior Brother Xuanji, even if you want to blame me, it will be useless. Besides, I love Junior Brother Long, how could I hurt him?"
"Admiration?" Xie Xiyi seemed to have heard something very ridiculous. The corners of his mouth twitched, and that cold smile became very weird.
A black mist emanated from his entire body, and a thin layer of black mist was also faintly floating in his conspicuous golden eyes.
In just a moment, this change was concealed by Xie Xiyi. His face was expressionless again, and his tone was as cold and hard as the collision of metal and stone, "This is a forbidden spell."
He continued to speak to himself, "How can a mere soul lamp relieve my hatred? At times like this, forbidden spells come in handy."
Forbidden spells were something Qingxuan had never encountered before. His calm expression finally changed slightly, and a hint of uneasiness flashed across his eyes. "What forbidden spell?"
Xie Xiyi stared at his expression and raised the corners of his lips stiffly again, "You don't even know the forbidden spell? How despicable! You casual cultivators will never be able to come into contact with such things in your entire lives."
“…”
Xie Xiyi perfectly hit Qingxuan's sore spot. He saw Qingxuan's face change slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up again. He walked over, holding the top-grade spirit stone, and placed it on Qingxuan's forehead.
Qingxuan, who had always been calm and composed, could clearly feel the tremors of his spiritual realm and soul. Before he could understand what the forbidden spell was, his body and soul had already reacted first.
His teeth were chattering, and he was actually afraid of this top-grade spirit stone from the depths of his soul.
The corners of Xie Xiyi's lips dropped, and his face became expressionless again. "The forbidden spell sealed in it is an offensive branding spell. Once triggered, it will disintegrate your body. Even if you abandon your flesh and body, it will be useless because this forbidden spell will be engraved into your soul. The original effect of the forbidden spell was not long, only a few decades, but after my modification, its effect has been extended to five hundred years."
Qingxuan's pupils suddenly shrank, "Senior Brother Xuanji, are you...are you kidding?"
How could there be such a spell?
Xie Xiyi asked back: "Do you think I'm joking?"
Qingxuan was silent.
Xie Xiyi chuckled and said, "I can smell the stench of ambition emanating from your soul and state of mind. You're like a stray dog on the street, never respected since childhood, so you're obsessed with climbing up the social ladder. You don't really respect your senior brother Mingxin, and even think he's incredibly stupid. You despise him from the bottom of your heart, but he's so useful, and you need him, so you partner with him."
"You're in love with Junior Brother Long? No, that's not admiration. You think he's simple and weak, yet he's advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage at such a young age, and even possesses a treasure like the Sumeru Ring. You believe he comes from a prominent family, and you want to cling to him. You're a purely ambitious animal. You won't let go of any opportunity to climb the ladder."
"You might think I'm angry, and everything is going according to your expectations. But I'm calm now. I know what's hidden beneath your composure. You're waiting for someone to rescue you, so my lengthy discussion with you plays right into your hands. But what I find incomprehensible is how you could possibly think someone so foolish."
Qingxuan's expression changed drastically at this moment, "You...how did you know?"
A rare feeling of shame and indignation welled up in his heart - Xuan Ji had not had much contact with him, but he could say so much, which meant that he knew what kind of person he was from the beginning.
Had he always regarded him as a clown for so long?
Xie Xiyi lowered his head slightly, looking down at his face. "You killed Junior Brother Long and Xiaoqiu. I've thought of thousands of ways to make your life worse than death, but I still don't think it's enough to satisfy my hatred. Therefore, this forbidden spell has a use."
"Besides being branded within your primordial spirit, it will constantly bring you excruciating pain that no elixir can dispel. It will also devour your cultivation. No matter how many bodies you possess, no matter how high their cultivation, this curse will devour their cultivation and disintegrate their shells. Think about it, is this the best torture device for a stray cultivator like you?"
A wave of fear surged in Qingxuan's heart. He opened his mouth and found that he had lost his voice.
He once again deeply understood the source of Fuzawa's deep-seated fear of Xuan Ji. He simply didn't follow the beaten path!
Xie Xiyi looked at him and whispered, "There's a hint of fear in your spiritual realm. Great, that's what I want to see. This is the sentence I give you. Five hundred years from now, I will come to take your life. Don't underestimate people, Qingxuan."
He stretched out his hand and activated the curse seal.
The black runes penetrated into Qingxuan's spiritual realm. The chilling coldness that was like hell caused a faint frost to appear all over Qingxuan's body. Then, there was an unignorable severe pain coming from his Yuanpo!
Xie Xiyi smiled faintly, "It's already starting to work."
He didn't kill Qingxuan.
It is very easy for a cultivator to die. For cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, even their souls will dissipate.
Death was too easy and too simple, as if everything could be wiped out after death, but how could he tolerate Qingxuan disappearing so easily?
"Your senior brother." Xie Xiyi said softly: "I won't kill him. You despise him, but at a time like this, you have to rely on him——
He paused and chuckled, "I admire your ambition and vitality. Strive to survive. Even if you have to endure excruciating pain, your cultivation level will dissipate, and you need to constantly possess other bodies, you must strive to survive as a wild dog."
After saying that, Xie Xiyi pulled away, took one last look at Qingxuan, whose face had begun to twist and no longer maintained his cool demeanor, and strode out of the cave.
Black mist began to emanate from his body, but he did not try to suppress it anymore.
Only forbidden techniques can bring his fellow apprentices, Chi Yu and Xiao Qiu, back to him.
The evil heart that he wanted to avoid the most and needed to suppress was now his last resort.
