Chapter 63
"Zhang Taiyi!"
Chu Yun roared angrily, his chest heaving violently. His once clear and bright eyes were now filled with a terrifying red network, and his anger almost overwhelmed his reason.
The culprit seemed to only then realize his presence, holding a bloody heart in his hand, and looked at him with a merciful glance.
His face looked somewhat familiar, and it took him a while to realize who he was, before casually saying, "Oh? It's you, the great genius Chu."
The contempt in his tone was undisguised: "Considering you were once a disciple of Kunlun, if you're so angry, then come down and keep her company."
After saying that, he was about to attack Chu Yun, while the others who were after Zhao Xin arrived one after another. When they saw what Zhang Taiyi was holding, they naturally knew what was going on.
Since they've all come for the same thing, they're all enemies. Seeing this, someone couldn't help but mock, "Oh, is the Supreme Elder of Kunlun killing and robbing, or cleaning house?"
The monks had good hearing, so their conversation was naturally overheard by others.
The person who ambushed Wenwan was none other than the Supreme Elder of Kunlun.
“‘He who controls the heart controls the world.’ Now the heart is in my hands. What, are you all going to compete with me for it?”
The crowd sneered. No one knew who had launched the sneak attack, but it failed. A battle was about to break out, and the scene instantly turned into a chaotic brawl. No one took Chu Yun, this junior, seriously.
Chu Yun forced himself to calm down. He had to stay calm at this moment. He quickly adjusted his state, moved away from the center of the battle, sat cross-legged, and began to refine the power he had just absorbed from Chi Yuan's clone.
The thought of Wan'er falling off the cliff like a broken rag doll made it impossible for him to calm down.
The battle raged fiercely inside the arena. In the corner, Chu Yun, his body radiating malevolence, easily absorbed the power of Chi Yuan and became a true demon.
Previously, he could disguise himself and move freely among so-called righteous people, but now he is a complete demon.
He didn't care; every single person here was going to die.
He was wrong.
That's way too wrong.
In his previous life, he met a tragic end because of his identity. He was given a second chance, and in order to be able to be by her side openly and honestly, he ended up in such a state.
What shackles a person is not their status, but their state of mind and their heart.
These hypocritical scoundrels, because of the saying "He who wins the heart wins the world," are capable of murder and heart-ripping. What hope is there for the world when it is in the hands of such people?
He was killed.
They were all killed.
Chu Yun was already quite talented, but in order to one day return to the so-called right path, she had suppressed the demonic energy in her body for too long. Moreover, the demonic cultivation techniques were not only powerful but also quick to master. Once released, coupled with the amplification brought by the Chi Yuan clone, a pressure belonging to the demon race rushed towards everyone.
The two people closest to him were instantly reduced to dust.
"Oh no, it's the Demon King! This person became the Demon King in an instant, his strength is not to be underestimated. If he gets out, the world will surely be in chaos!" Zhang Taiyi shouted, "Everyone be careful, let's deal with the Demon King first."
However, his fellow Daoists did not buy into his argument.
"Do you think we'll believe you? What if you manage to escape in the chaos?"
Zhang Taiyi was embarrassed; he did indeed have this idea.
"In short, you must hand over Zhaoxin today. Hmph, Demon King, don't even think about leaving here alive. There are many of us, let's attack together."
No one cared about the two people he had just pulverized; their hearts and minds were filled with longing for Zhaoxin.
Chu Yun sneered and joined the battle, fighting alongside the crowd.
——————————
Fang Ruo woke up an hour later and felt a sense of foreboding. She hurriedly went to the burial ground to check the situation.
Throughout the journey, he kept divining about the two people's situation. Finally, after vomiting blood once, he deduced that the two people were in a very bad situation, especially Senior Sister Wenwan, whose life force was faint and seemed to be about to be cut off, which made him very uneasy.
Thinking back to the encounter with the Supreme Elder of the Kunshan Sect, who had inexplicably fainted after inquiring about Chi Yuan's whereabouts, he realized that Senior Sister Wen's situation must be related to him, and that he had become an accomplice.
Instead of bringing reinforcements to Senior Sister Wen, Fang Ruo attracted wolves. Feeling extremely guilty, she disregarded her own injuries and rushed to the burial ground as quickly as possible.
Once he entered the burial ground, it was as if he had triggered some kind of passive ability. He clearly sensed that a major battle had taken place in a certain area, and now it seemed that the outcome was decided. The battlefield had fallen silent, leaving only a heavy smell of blood.
A figure stood amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Fang Ruo could recognize the person at a glance.
Chu Yun's right hand, hanging down, gripped someone else's weapon, thick blood dripping onto the ground, seemingly unaware. His eyes stared blankly at his raised left hand, which appeared to be holding something important, but upon closer inspection, it was empty.
"who?"
For a fleeting moment, a murderous intent surged: "Senior Brother Lin... it's me, it's Fang Ruo."
Fang Ruo quickly spoke up weakly, and fortunately, the other party restrained his killing intent after hearing her words.
Fang Ruo still didn't dare to get too close to him. The powerful figures lying on the ground were all stronger than him. If Senior Brother Chu really made a move, he would definitely not be a match for him.
Judging from Senior Brother Chu's current appearance, it's hard to say how much rationality he still retains, so he doesn't dare to get too close. If a fight really breaks out, staying further away will allow him to run faster.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
——————————
When Wen Wan woke up again, her thoughts slowly returned, and she realized that she was in an unfamiliar place, on a hard stone bed, with the sound of rushing water nearby.
She slowly opened her eyes, trying to recall what had happened. She only remembered… she only remembered being attacked, her heart…
Wen Wan quickly looked down and touched her chest, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Whew~ Thank goodness, it wasn't a huge hole I touched, and I still have a heartbeat. Have I been rescued? How is Brother Chu? And the person who ambushed me? Not only is he highly skilled, but he's also ruthless. He perfectly concealed his presence and attacked without hesitation, all for the so-called Zhaoxin. Luckily, I'm still alive. Once I find out who that person is, no matter how skilled they are, I'll find a way to take revenge.
She remembered this grudge.
And Zhaoxin, is her own heart really that legendary divine object that grants the power to rule the world?
Unfortunately, she can't get answers to these questions for now.
She tried to get up and looked around. It was like being in a cave. The grotto in front of her let the sunlight in, and to her right, there was a rushing stream of water, which separated the cave from the outside world like a curtain, just like a water curtain cave.
She moved her body and felt no discomfort. She then tried using her spiritual power, and everything was normal. She wrapped herself in her spiritual power and left the Water Curtain Cave.
The view outside the cave was just as beautiful as she had imagined: birds singing, flowers blooming, streams flowing, and lush greenery creating a pleasant atmosphere.
She opened her arms and took a deep breath; she hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.
Just then, a little monkey ran over and looked at her. Wen Wan didn't chase it away; instead, she looked at it curiously as well.
After looking at her for a while, the little monkey scratched its head uncertainly, hesitated for a long time, then tugged at Wenwan's sleeve, pointed to the Water Curtain Cave, as if asking something.
Although Wenwan didn't quite understand what it meant, and didn't know if it could understand her, the little monkey seemed to recognize her and knew that she had been in the Water Curtain Cave before. She squatted down and asked the little monkey, "I used to sleep in there. Do you know who brought me here?"
The little monkey suddenly realized what she meant, and proudly patted its chest, raising its two heads to gesture above its head.
Wen Wan didn't understand and asked, "Did you and your friends move me here?"
The little monkey shook its head again, patted itself, and raised its hand high above its head, gesturing wildly.
"Was it you and your clansmen who moved me here?"
The little monkey continued to shake its head, gesturing anxiously, repeating the same few movements as before.
"Are they your people?" Wen Wan asked uncertainly.
The little monkey thought for a moment and then nodded.
Although she couldn't quite understand what the monkey was gesturing, fortunately the monkey could understand what she was saying, so they could communicate to some extent.
"Can you take me to find it?" The little monkey is so smart, so the monkey that saved her must be even smarter.
After hearing this, the little monkey shook its head and made a sleeping motion.
You mean it's sleeping?
The little monkey nodded.
"When might I be able to see it?"
The little monkey shook its head and continued to pretend to sleep.
"I know it's sleeping, and I can't see it right now. Can you take me to see it when it wakes up?" Wen Wan continued to patiently communicate with the little monkey.
The little monkey shook its head and continued to pretend to sleep.
Wen Wan was somewhat puzzled. The weather was just right, not like the time when animals hibernate, and monkeys don't hibernate.
A thought crossed Wen Wan's mind, and she asked softly, "Little monkey, are you saying I won't see it anymore? It's not just asleep, it's in a deep slumber?"
Seeing that Wen Wan understood what he meant, the little monkey nodded happily.
The little monkey was also sad at times, but as time went by, it gradually forgot about it.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the laws of nature, and no one can escape them. Even for cultivators, their final destination is to turn into dust, except that they may have enjoyed a few more days of happiness than others.
The little monkey tugged at her sleeve again and ran forward. Wen Wan followed. At first, the little monkey would look back every few steps, but after making sure Wen Wan wouldn't lose her, it began to reveal its true nature. Using branches, it would grab, push off, and swing, moving nimbly through the jungle. Its movements were as fluid as if it had undergone professional training, and it got faster and faster.
However, for monkeys, this is indeed as simple as eating and drinking.
Although I had just recovered from a serious injury and didn't know how long I had been lying down, I could easily keep up with the little monkey's movements.
The two, a person and a monkey, soon arrived at an intersection. The little monkey finally stopped, tugged at Wenwan's sleeve again, and pointed to the intersection.
Wenwan seemed to understand its meaning: "Is this the way out?"
The little monkey nodded honestly.
...
Okay, I woke up from a nap and found myself kicked out by monkeys.
