While Hua Xiangwan and Xie Wushuang were looking for the Ghost Spirit in the spirit core, at another time, in the realm of life and death of the Tianjian Sect, a young man who was sitting cross-legged on the ice field in meditation suddenly vomited blood.

Kunxu, who was happily roasting a chicken nearby, was startled. Seeing the young man wake up, he threw the roasted chicken aside and hurried forward: "How are you? Did you get the ghost spirit?"

"I'm fine. I haven't seen the ghost yet."

Xie Changji swallowed the blood between his lips and teeth and answered Kunxuzi's question.

Kunxuzi was surprised when he heard this: "Then why did you come back?"

"I chopped down the Lingxu Secret Realm."

These words shocked Kunxuzi.

If Xie Changji used his own body, it would be no problem for him to destroy a secret realm. But he used Xie Wushuang's body...

"Is Wushuang okay?"

Kunxuzi reacted and asked hurriedly.

Xie Changji shook his head: "His body could not bear my sword power and rejected me. I was afraid of hurting his sea of ​​consciousness and veins, so I retreated first. But I left the image bead, and I will go back later."

"What's the point of keeping the Image Pearl?" Kunxuzi frowned, "Wushuang has fainted!"

One body cannot carry two souls. When he entered Xie Wushuang's body, Xie Wushuang's soul had already been dormant for a long time. If Xie Wushuang's soul awakened, it would be impossible for him to enter easily from such a distance of thousands of miles.

Therefore, even if he left Xie Wushuang's body, Xie Wushuang would still remain in a coma.

"I'll have someone take him to chase the ghost."

Xie Changji began to explain, and Kunxuzi felt relieved after hearing what he said.

There are many disciples going there, and Xie Changji should not enter the Lingxu Secret Realm alone. It is better to have other people watching him.

Even if you don't get the ghost, at least you know who took it.

There are two seals on the ghost spirit, the Sword of the Heart and the Soul-Locking Lamp, so it is not easy to break. If we know who has it, it is not impossible to snatch it back in time.

He nodded and said calmly, "Then you should take good care of yourself and go back as soon as possible."

"Um."

Xie Changji responded, then closed his eyes and began to meditate and rest.

Xie Changji rested in the middle of the night. When he sensed that Xie Wushuang's body had recovered a little, he immediately returned to Xie Wushuang's body.

As soon as he entered Xie Wushuang's body, he felt warmth coming from all around him. There was the sound of drizzling rain around him, which seemed to be not far away from him.

He opened his eyes half-heartedly and found himself in a cave. Turning around, he saw Hua Xiangwan sitting by the fire, sleeping lightly with her chin resting on her hand.

He was covered in a white blanket embroidered with cassia flowers, which carried a unique feminine fragrance that lingered at his nose.

The scent made him dazed for a moment, and then he reacted suddenly.

No feeling!

Logically, he had already entered the core of the Lingxu Secret Realm, where the Ghost Spirit was. He should have been able to sense the existence of the Sword of Questioning the Heart, but he didn't feel anything at all!

Realizing this, Xie Changji immediately lifted the blanket and walked quickly out of the cave.

Hua Xiangwan was startled by the voice, and when she looked up, she saw "Xie Wushuang" walking out in a hurry.

Hua Xiangwan knew what he was anxious about and stepped forward quickly: "Don't worry, the ghost spirit is gone, take your time."

Hearing this, Xie Changji paused, turned to look at Hua Xiangwan, and repeated: "Qi Ling, gone?"

Hua Xiangwan felt a little guilty, but she still explained: "Too many monks entered the secret realm this time. When I rushed to where the ghost spirit was, they were fighting fiercely. I hid aside and watched. They fought for a long time and finally opened the soul core that stored the ghost spirit. Then everyone saw that the ghost spirit was gone, so they searched for it and left."

Xie Changji didn't say anything. He just stared at Hua Xiangwan. Hua Xiangwan thought for a moment and quickly took out a photo bead: "Oh, I've written down everything for you. You can read it yourself."

As he spoke, Hua Xiangwan threw the image bead over. Xie Changji raised his hand and grasped the bead. He closed his eyes and poured his spiritual power into the bead, and the picture appeared before his eyes.

Hua Xiangwan did not record from the beginning, but almost to where the ghost spirit was. It was a towering tree, and many monks were fighting under the tree.

Xie Changji took a quick look and found that these monks were all from the Western Territory, and were basically the same group as the people who had ambushed him before.

These men fought for a while, and one of them leaped forward, and a seal fell on the tree trunk. The ancient tree was shocked, and then the trunk slowly opened on both sides like a door.

After opening it, there was a garden with lush grass and singing birds. In the center of the garden was a lotus stone platform. The stone platform still retained the breath of the ghost spirit. It should be the place where the ghost spirit was originally stored. However, at this moment, the stone platform was empty. There was nothing left.

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw this scene, and someone exclaimed: "Where is the ghost spirit?!"

After hearing this, everyone stopped moving and rushed into the tree trunk, searching everywhere. After confirming that there was no trace of the evil spirit, they seemed to sense a spiritual force pressing down on them and quickly left.

Hua Xiangwan's record ended here. Hua Xiangwan scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed: "Qin Yunshang brought Mingluan and people from Qingle Palace here. I'm not sure I can hide under her nose, so I left first."

Xie Changji put away the photo bead and said nothing more. He turned around and walked out, saying coldly, "Lead the way."

Hua Xiangwan didn't dare to say anything more and hurried forward. She was still injured, so she called out her mount, climbed onto the white tiger, turned around and stretched out her hand to Xie Wushuang: "You are still injured, I will take care of you."

“No need.”

Xie Changji decisively refused, raised his sword and said, "Let's go."

Seeing that he was as chaste as a virgin, Hua Xiangwan did not force him and rode the white tiger into the dense forest.

The place where the ghost spirits were stored was not far from here, and the two of them quickly arrived at the place. Xie Changji landed on the ground, glanced at the messy place, and identified how many people had been there based on the traces of moves and spiritual breath left behind.

After looking outside, he walked into the tree trunk and came to the lotus altar.

There were countless fingerprints and spirits on the lotus altar, and it was impossible to identify who the first person was. He looked at the altar, took out his photo bead, and quickly looked at it.

His photo bead had recorded everything from the beginning, which was exactly what Hua Xiangwan said, but...

Xie Changji looked at the image in the bead and saw Hua Xiangwan following several cultivators closely, constantly sensing the fluctuations of spiritual power to determine the direction, as well as the time when they finally arrived at the place where the ghost spirit was. He couldn't help but frown.

"Why are you taking so long?"

He turned his head and looked at Hua Xiangwan.

She is the owner of the Soul-Locking Lamp. Logically, she should be able to sense the existence of the Soul-Locking Lamp when she arrives at the core area of ​​the Spiritual Illusion. If she wants, she should be the person who can reach the spiritual core the fastest.

This place was not far from where they landed. Hua Xiangwan took a long time to get here, as if she had no perception at all.

Hua Xiangwan was bewildered by his question and looked at him in confusion: "I... I also came here with someone, and I don't know where the ghost spirit is..."

"How could you not know?"

Hearing this, Xie Changji's heart skipped a beat. Feeling a little uneasy, he took a step forward, grabbed her wrist, and asked hastily, "Can't you feel it?"

This question made Hua Xiangwan panic. She looked shocked and confused: "Why can I sense ghosts?"

Xie Changji didn't say anything, he just stared at her, and Hua Xiangwan's heart was beating fast.

What does he know?

How did he know that she could sense ghosts?

The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time, and Xie Changji said in a hoarse voice: "Hua Xiangwan, don't lie to me."

"I can swear to heaven," Hua Xiangwan raised his other hand and said seriously, "I can't sense ghosts."

She couldn’t sense…

How could I not feel it...

He held her hand and trembled. He had many questions he wanted to ask, but he knew he couldn't ask any more.

She lied to him, she was definitely lying to him.

She was so similar to Wanwan, her movements and voice in the dream, and the smile in her eyes when she finally fell onto the ice.

She held the sword slightly upwards, and when she gave acupuncture, she would slightly curl her little finger. She knew that he could break all the curses, and she would secretly inquire about Xie Changji, who had been in the realm of life and death for many years.

How come she can't sense the Soul-Locking Lamp?

But why...why would she lie?

How could she lie?

Xie Changji stared at Hua Xiangwan, and the ground around him was shaking. Hua Xiangwan noticed that something was wrong and tried to comfort Xie Wushuang: "Xie Daojun, the secret realm seems a little unstable. Let's go out first."

"Come back with me."

Xie Changji spoke in a cold voice, and Hua Xiangwan was at a loss: "Where are you going?"

"Tianjian Sect," Xie Wushuang said with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, gritting his teeth, "The boundary between life and death."

As he spoke, a magical light appeared on the ground, and Hua Xiangwan was a little shocked.

The Heaven Sword Sect was nearly a thousand miles away from the West Peak Forest. How could they just go there? Unless they were a great transcendent who could shrink the ground to an inch and travel a thousand miles in an instant, at this moment, they...

Before Hua Xiangwan could finish her thought, a huge suction force suddenly came from the ground, and Xie Wushuang grabbed her hand and fell down together. She screamed, and when she reacted, she had already landed on a small path.

Xie Changji grabbed her and walked quickly forward.

Hua Xiangwan staggered, and when the breeze carrying the scent of peach blossoms reached her nose, she finally came to her senses. She looked up and saw the mountains full of blooming peach blossoms. She couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Tianjian Sect, it really is Tianjian Sect!

What kind of monster is Xie Wushuang? How could he bring her to the Heavenly Sword Sect in an instant? !

“Let go!”

After realizing what had happened, Hua Xiangwan suddenly became panicked when she thought of Xie Wushuang's words "the boundary between life and death". She struggled desperately and said excitedly: "Xie Wushuang, let me go!"

Xie Changji ignored her and pulled her forward excitedly. Hua Xiangwan reached out to take out her spirit beads, but she had used up all her spirit beads in the secret realm. Without spiritual power to sustain her, she was no different from an ordinary person at this moment. She could only punch and kick Xie Wushuang: "Xie Wushuang, you are crazy, what are you going to do, let me go!"

Xie Changji didn't listen, and the two of them climbed up the small steps. The chill of the realm of life and death hit them, and Hua Xiangwan became more and more panicked.

To reach the realm of life and death, doesn't it mean meeting Xie Changji?

Would Xie Changji recognize her? If he recognized her, would Xie Changji force her to stay?

She became more and more frightened, but fortunately Xie Wushuang stopped after taking only two steps.

Hua Xiangwan raised her head quickly and saw Kunxuzi standing on the high steps with a disciple. They were holding whisks and looking at Xie Wushuang with frowns.

"What are you doing?"

Kunxuzi spoke, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.

Xie Changji didn't say anything, he was holding Hua Xiangwan's hand. Kunxuzi's eyes fell on Xie Changji's hand, he raised his whisk and slapped Xie Changji's hand hard.

A sharp pain instantly shot up Xie Changji's hand, and Kunxuzi said coldly, "Let go."

"I want to take her," Xie Changji said hoarsely as blood dripped from the back of his hand, "into the realm of life and death."

"The Realm of Life and Death is a forbidden area of ​​the Heavenly Sword Sect. Why did you bring her in?"

"Yes, yes," Hua Xiangwan nodded quickly after hearing this, "I'm not worthy, I'm leaving now."

Xie Changji didn't say anything. He held Hua Xiangwan's hand tightly, lowered his head, slowly knelt on the ground, and repeated again: "I want to take her into the realm of life and death."

"presumptuous!"

Kunxuzi shouted: "The spirit of the demon has been lost, are you still going to make trouble?!"

These words made Xie Changji freeze, and after a long time, he finally let go.

Hua Xiangwan glanced at him sideways and saw him kneeling on the ground in a daze. She suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

"Actually, this matter..."

"This girl," Kunxuzi turned to look at Hua Xiangwan, "You should go and rest first. This is the internal affairs of the Tianjian Sect. Mingsong," Kunxuzi glanced at the disciple behind him, "Take the girl away."

After hearing this warning, Hua Xiangwan didn't say much. She glanced at Xie Wushuang, and finally turned around and left.

Only Xie Changji and Kunxuzi were left on the long path. Kunxuzi looked down at him and asked, "Why did you bring her into the realm of life and death?"

"I want to...try the sword."

She and he had formed a blood pact of mutual cultivation, and the Sword of the Heart could sense her and would not reject her.

If she could pull out the sword of conscience, she must be Wanwan.

After hearing his plan, Kunxuzi understood it instantly.

He had asked about Wanwan before, and now this girl...

His tone softened slightly, and he said affirmatively: "She can't sense the Soul-Locking Lamp."

Xie Changji lowered his head, his breath trembling slightly: "She is lying to me."

"Why don't you just fool yourself?"

After hearing this, Xie Changji was stunned. He looked up with a look of bewilderment on his face.

Kunxuzi sighed, raised his hand, and a talisman flew out from Xie Changji's hand and stopped in mid-air.

"Do you know what this is?" Kunxuzi pointed at the talisman that was glowing.

Xie Changji looked at it and said in a dry voice, "Dream Seal."

"more than."

Kunxuzi shook his head and raised his hand. The talisman split in the middle and turned into two talismans.

"These are two seals. One is the dream seal, which is good, but the other is the mind-confusing seal. It can quietly confuse your mind and make you confuse the caster with the person you care about. The caster is a top master who combined the two seals into one. Even for you, who are not proficient in this art, it is difficult to detect."

Xie Changji stared at the seal in a daze. Kunxuzi looked a little sympathetic. "I hadn't noticed it before. I just found this seal after carefully examining your body. Since you found it to be a dream seal, you are still reluctant to remove it. Are you waiting for that girl to dream again? But think about it, Changji. When you said you recognized her, was it based on solid evidence or just your guesses?"

"Is she really alive, or do you want her to be alive?"

This question made his heart shudder.

When they met in his dream, he thought she was Wanwan;

Knowing that her taste was completely opposite to Wanwan's, and yet she finished all the dishes, he thought she was deliberately hiding it;

Seeing how she held the sword, he was determined;

When she talked about the Ten Thousand Different Mantras and asked him about the world of life and death, they entered the illusion constructed by his memory without any doubt...

He firmly believed that she was Wanwan, who came for him.

But all this is what he thinks.

Does he think that it is really possible to prove that one person is another person?

Xie Changji knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the ground.

Seeing his expression, Kunxuzi sighed, "Wushuang's body needs rest, and your mind is not stable either. Go back to the realm of life and death to recuperate and remove the influence of the Seal of Confusion on you. As for the rest," Kunxuzi walked down the steps and passed by him, "the sect will handle it."
