Chapter 531: Sacrifice
Zhou Zhenyan wanted to ask Jiang Lisheng how she got the Yin-Yang Shadow and from whom. However, he was so badly injured that he could barely lift his fingers, so he had to give up.
He asked Shang Zhiyi in a weak tone, "Junior Sister Shang, hasn't Nephew Jiang returned to Qingxu?"
Shang Zhiyi shook her head and briefly said that Wei Qinglan had sent her a message, asking her to go to Rongcheng to pick up Jiang Lisheng. After handing him over to her, she went to the Nether River alone. Afterwards, she and Jiang Lisheng were ambushed by masked men with black wings. She released Jiang Lisheng's sleeping restriction, revealed Pei Tanyi's identity, and fought with Pei Tanyi. Jiang Lisheng took the opportunity to help, then snatched the Yin-Yang Shadow from Pei Tanyi's hand, and hurriedly left after saying a word.
After hearing this, Zhou Zhenyan was shocked and incredulous, "Is that person really Sect Master Pei?"
Shang Zhiyi nodded, "It's him. Over the years, he has been dealing with Qingxu behind the scenes. The death of my senior sister, the misfortune of Senior Brother Wen, and the conspiracy against me were all related to him. He wanted to eliminate the rest of us so that he could deal with my senior brother and disintegrate and destroy Qingxu."
She turned to the side and said, "If Senior Brother Zhou doesn't believe me, you can ask Yu Yunsu. If he hadn't been such a fool, he would have been killed by his senior brother. Or if he hadn't gone straight to Qingxu instead of Taiyi after returning, and was protected by our Qingxu mountain protection formation, he would have died in his hands now."
Zhou Zhenyan looked at Yu Yunsu. He had no friendship with this Junior Brother Yu. When they were young, they were not very familiar with each other. He only heard that many fairies liked him because of his romantic appearance. He had been pestering Junior Sister Shang Qingxu, and they eventually became Taoist couples. But within a thousand years, the two parted ways. Unexpectedly, now, a thousand years later, he came to Kunlun with Junior Sister Shang to save them.
Yu Yunsu nodded, "It's my senior brother. If Senior Brother Zhou doesn't believe me, I can play the message on the communication card for you."
He took out the communication board he had with Pei Tanyi at the gate of Qingxu Mountain, and the conversation at that time was clearly played out on it.
Pei Tanyi's familiar voice made Zhou Zhenyan angry and shocked. "It seems that our sect leader's disappearance was really caused by him. However, the sect leader's soul lamp is still there, so he should not have killed him."
Yu Yunsu put away the communication card and nodded silently. "I have been away for many years and don't know much. I only found out about Sect Master Qin's disappearance after I came back."
He paused, "I didn't know that as I got older, my brother would become so cruel and insane, treating human life as worthless."
Zhou Zhenyan sighed, "Junior Brother Yu, you are doing well not to go along with the corrupt people."
Although he knew the truth but kept silent for many years, he and Pei Tanyi were close brothers in the same school. It was understandable that he did not expose his brother unless he had no choice.
Yu Yunsu felt ashamed that he did not do his part in the face of major issues. He also admitted that he was cowardly and weak, otherwise he would have exposed his senior brother long ago and the entire cultivation world would not have fallen into the situation it is today. So many people lost their lives because of his trap.
Zhou Zhenyan looked at Shang Zhiyi again, "Junior Sister Shang, so, Sect Master Pei followed Nephew Jiang to the Netherworld River?"
Shang Zhiyi nodded.
Zhou Zhenyan was worried, "If something happens to Qinglan, what will happen to us in Kunlun? I hope that Uncle Master Qi and Senior Brother Gu can reach the Netherworld River as soon as possible."
Shang Zhiyi still nodded. She couldn't tell whether she hoped Wei Qinglan would arrive earlier than them or later than them.
Wei Qinglan, who was mentioned by them at this time, has now arrived at the bank of the Netherworld River.
Just as he guessed, he arrived at the right time. The great formation on the banks of the Netherworld River collapsed, and a hundred thousand evil ghosts from the Netherworld were released from their cages. Evil and ferocious aura rushed out, dyeing the already dark sky on the banks of the Netherworld River into ink-black.
Wei Qinglan used the forbidden technique of Kunlun to activate the soul-calling flags that he and Jiang Lisheng had obtained from Xushui, and recaptured the evil spirits that were escaping from the formation with their fangs and claws bared.
When Qi Baicheng arrived, he saw that Wei Qinglan's body was almost translucent, with blood drawing out. The blood lines were drawn out along the palms of his hands along with spiritual power, entangled countless fleeing evil ghosts and evil spirits, and led them into the soul-calling banner.
Qi Baicheng was horrified and shouted, "Wei Qinglan, what are you doing? Stop it, are you trying to kill yourself?"
Wei Qinglan raised her eyes and looked at Qi Baicheng.
With just this one glance, Qi Baicheng saw the blood in his eyes, and the black ink gathered in the blood. His face changed drastically, and he suddenly took a few steps back, pointing at him tremblingly, "You, you..."
How could that be?
The ancestor who had lived for seven or eight thousand years was speechless for the first time, "No, it's impossible, this is impossible, how could you..."
Demonic energy, he saw demonic energy in his eyes.
Wei Qinglan took only a glance and then looked away, sacrificing himself to make the forbidden technique work to its maximum effect. He could clearly feel that not only was his spiritual power rapidly draining away, but the blood in his body was also draining out and his soul was burning. Among them, a wisp of soul, as black as ink, was resisting being torn apart with all its might, and under his severe suppression, it even began to tear him apart.
Qi Baicheng stood where he was, looking at Wei Qinglan in disbelief. He could see clearly that it was demonic energy. He had never imagined that there was demonic energy in his body, entangled with his blood and soul, and the demonic energy could not be separated.
He dared to conclude that this evil spirit was not acquired, but was the innate evil in his body.
His whole body was trembling. For all these years, he hadn't even noticed that Kunlun had been carefully cultivating a demon right under his nose.
What is he doing now? Using the blood spirit as a guide? To subdue these 100,000 netherworld evil spirits?
This was what he wanted to do, but now he was doing it. What should he do? Help him? Or just watch him die?
If he helped, he might not die, but if he didn't die, the demon in his body would not be destroyed.
If he didn't help, would he have to watch him die? This was the young man he had always placed high hopes on.
But he was a demon. He could clearly see the demon soul in his body howling and screaming, trying to fight, but it was suppressed by him.
This evil spirit used Kunlun's innate blessed land to give birth and nourishment. It was so cunning that it actually deceived all of them.
One day, when the demon soul is developed, he will become a real demon.
Where is the humanity in the devil?
He will never be Kunlun's Wei Qinglan again.
If it wasn't Wei Qinglan from Kunlun, he would use what he had learned in Kunlun and swing his sword against Kunlun.
No, he couldn't help.
For the sake of the entire cultivation world, for Kunlun, and for the sake of justice, he cannot help.
Wei Qinglan knew that Qi Baicheng would not help him. He was not Jiang Lisheng, who would not hesitate to destroy the Xuantian Realm even though he knew he was a demon, just to hide the secret that he was a demon.
He was not angry at his inaction. That was human nature. How could one be like Junior Sister Jiang, not distinguishing between right and wrong, not caring about the future, and only thinking that he was just the Senior Brother Wei she knew?
Therefore, just for Junior Sister Jiang, he did not regret his decision or what he did today.
