Chapter 84
==================
Ning Chen hissed: "... No, why are you biting me!"
Tears fell silently on Ning Chen's shoulders, leaving a dark mark on his gilded black robe.
Ning Chen had a headache and said, "Why are you acting like a child? Even if I have deceived you, it wouldn't be such a crime, right?"
...Okay, I admit that this level of deception seems to be quite disgusting, but what on earth is the purpose of biting people?
“…”
Maybe it was the word "child" that touched Xie Tingyun, but he paused for a moment and finally let go.
Xie Tingyun hadn't experienced this kind of incompetence for a long time.
His hands were still shaking, but the warmth of the human body in his arms was hot, the shoulders were broad, the chest was firm, and he wondered if his chest would tremble when he opened his mouth, as if he was dying.
Ning Shen is still alive.
He is the Demon Lord Tian Xiao.
Xie Tingyun closed his eyes, buried his head in Ning Shen's shoulder, and took a deep breath.
This was the first time that he didn't want to care about anyone's opinion, whether it was Elder Daoming or the practitioners from other sects.
I don't want to care about anything.
This was the first time Xie Tingyun let himself go like this.
No wonder.
Xie Tingyun had never linked these two people together before, and it was ultimately due to stereotypes.
Ning Chen's appearance in Liuyun Sect was such a surprise to him that Xie Tingyun subconsciously treated him as an independent individual.
Before this, Xie Tingyun had suspected that Demon Lord Tian Xiao might have been possessed by someone else, but at that time he had not connected Tian Xiao's possession by Ning Chen at all.
After all, even Xie Tingyun didn't expect that Ning Chen was actually an idiot, and an idiot with extremely bad luck.
No wonder Tian Xiao's temperament changed drastically after that life-and-death battle. Not only did he no longer regard him as his mortal enemy, but he also tried his best to save him and the righteous disciples in disguise.
No wonder Tian Xiao had the chance to kill him several times but didn't do it.
No wonder Tianxiao sometimes acts inexplicably unfamiliar with the rules of this world. He doesn't know what it means to touch a stranger's natal sword. As the biggest enemy of the righteous path, he dares to block the door and ask him to come out for a fight, touch their mascot stone lion at the door, and bully children and sword tassels.
No wonder Tianxiao and Ningchen are both afraid of ghosts.
No wonder Tian Xiao was so skilled in holding the child and threatening him in his own illusion. He had a history of this. Xie Tingyun regretted that he did not recognize him at that time.
The crowd outside was all stunned.
Especially Kong Ling, he just wanted to rush in with a blank mind, but found that the Demon Lord appeared here inexplicably, and even chopped Tiannan's ice coffin and array eye with a knife.
Other than that, the key point is that from the conversation between Xie Tingyun and the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord is actually that Jindan stage kid? ! ! !
This is quite explosive.
Kong Ling's already blank mind became even blanker.
The people of Liuyun Sect were stunned. They looked at the tall figure held in Xie Tingyun's arms several times and murmured, "Could this evil nightmare array have hallucination effects? Why did I see Tingyun holding the Demon Lord..."
"It seems... not an illusion..."
The other Mahayana practitioners were also stunned.
After all, they have lived for thousands of years, and each of them has become a diligent old antique for the sake of the sect. They have seen everything.
But they had never seen such a scene before!
Soon, Xie Tingyun let go of Ning Chen.
He turned his head away, his face still pale, but he seemed much calmer.
Ning Chen waited for Xie Tingyun's move with some suspicion, but after Xie Tingyun let him go, he was silent for a while, and finally walked towards the puppet silently.
Ning Chen watched as Xie Tingyun raised his hand and used his Wind-riding Hand to slash the sword to cut off all the vines that penetrated the puppets. His anxious heart inexplicably slowly calmed down.
He thought: ... So, Xie Tingyun is just going to let him go like this?
It seems that Xie Tingyun is not the type to settle scores afterwards.
Xie Tingyun stared at the quiet, closed face, feeling somewhat dazed.
He watched Ning Chen die once in front of his eyes, and now he died again. The feeling was really indescribable.
Someone pulled him from behind: "Hey, Xie Tingyun?"
Ning Chen looked at Xie Tingyun in a daze with some concern. His behavior always made Ning Chen feel so guilty that he wanted to sit up and slap himself in the middle of the night.
Ning Chen lowered his eyes, and was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "...Xie Tingyun, if you are still not satisfied with biting, I will give you a chance to stab Chengfeng back."
Xie Tingyun shook Ning Chen's hand away as if struck by lightning, his voice trembling: "Tian Xiao... Ning Chen! If you want to kill me, just say it, don't torture me like this."
However, Xie Ting Yunguang was so shocked by Ning Chen's words that he didn't notice that the hand he had just shaken away suddenly stiffened, as if it was frozen due to some pain.
Ning Shen stayed there for a long while before his breathing became normal. His expression returned to his original carefree look. He sighed and said, "Okay, I won't say anything. Don't be angry."
In order to divert his attention, Ning Chen said: "Tiannan's soul has been sealed inside by me."
Doing so was just a temporary measure at the time. Ning Chen couldn't let Tiannan watch him chop up his ice coffin, that would be too cruel.
Looking at the bright side, sealing Tiannan in the puppet at the moment his original body disappeared also prevented Tiannan's soul from escaping to a certain extent.
As long as the original body remains alive, Tiannan will always be the soul of a living person and will not be affected in any way.
However, now that his original body was dead, the food that continued to nourish Tiannan's soul had been cut off. Tiannan's soul was like a lonely soul that still remained in the human world. It would be constantly troubled by the yang energy and would not be able to stay in the human world for long.
However, due to the destruction of his original body, Tiannan was also greatly affected. At this time, his spiritual state was close to the point of being dying.
Xie Tingyun paused for a moment, and as expected, he reached out to explore Tiannan's soul.
As the center of the formation was destroyed, the entire Nightmare Evil Formation shattered.
The disciples trapped on the wooden crosses suddenly realized that all the vengeful spirits in front of them paused at the same time, and then headed in the same direction.
Even the ghosts that had already occupied the bodies of living people simply abandoned them and went far away for unknown reasons.
The scene inside the Death Gate is not Ming Candle's past memories, it is all real.
It was not until the vengeful spirits and resentment began to surge towards this place that Daoming suddenly came to his senses and shouted to the disciples who were standing there in a daze, "What are you standing there for? Hurry and get your bodies back!"
The disciples from various sects who had almost become wandering souls hurriedly returned to their bodies.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
However, within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a large number of resentful ghosts gathered in the sky, and the resentment almost condensed into substance, making it suffocating and almost impossible to breathe.
They rushed towards the candle with a clear purpose, tearing at its bloody body like bloodthirsty enemies.
There was no need for Ning Shen to take action at all, these out-of-control ghosts were enough to take Ming Cang's life.
Dense and bright red marks of destiny were deeply engraved on Mingzhu's skin. It was obviously extremely painful, but Mingzhu didn't make a sound. Only when Xie Tingyun tried to extradite Tiannan's soul did he finally react.
Ming Candle seemed to want to crawl towards Tiannan, but countless vengeful spirits penetrated his body and tore his soul apart, just as Ming Candle did to them.
Ming Cang lowered his head helplessly, but his shaking hands still wanted to reach towards Tiannan. He opened his mouth, and the blood in his throat gushed out before the words he wanted to say.
Don't... don't hurt him.
Even though he was a demon king with great power, he could not resist the backlash and heavenly curse after committing serious sins.
Tiannan's soul was dying, but he still had a faint consciousness.
He witnessed everything, watching the scarred body finally unable to withstand the tearing of the vengeful spirits, and finally falling down powerlessly, just as he had discovered the truth about the candle's deception.
Physical death is just the beginning of everything.
Ming Candle's soul is still there, as are the countless resentful spirits of those who died in vain. He will never be able to pay off his debts.
Tiannan finally understood Mingzhang's lip movements and finally understood everything.
He was trapped inside the puppet, and took advantage of the gap when Xie Tingyun was about to extradite him into the Soul-Fixing Orb to break free from the puppet's body.
Tiannan burst into tears, and was almost as miserable as Mingzhu: "...The human race is not what you think."
"They...they never thought of hurting me, you stupid foxes!" Tiannan choked and said heartbreakingly.
The curse of damnation was engraved on Ming Candle's soul, and each of the eerie bright red lines represented an innocent life that had died in his hands.
Tianran means the cycle of cause and effect. After doing all the evil things, you will get retribution in the end.
As long as you don't repay your karma, you will continue to be torn apart by thousands of ghosts.
For the first time in his life, Ming Cang felt extremely lost.
Ming Cang lowered his head and looked at Tiannan who was staggering towards him. He said in a bewildered manner: "...Tiannan. Am I wrong?"
His throat rolled over and he spoke word by word: "They... don't want to kill you?"
"But the clothes are the same. If they only wanted the contract... I would give it to them." Ming Cang's voice began to tremble. "Why, they saved you, but those beasts wanted to kill you?"
Tiannan wiped his tears, stretched out his hand towards the Tianlan on Mingzhang's body, and said in a nasal voice: "I will repay what you owe. At least it won't harm them now, and it's better to save a life from being lost in vain."
However, Ming Candle reacted strongly and backed away, saying, "...Don't come over."
Ming Cang suddenly realized something.
Tiannan stubbornly went forward to touch the candle, but the next moment he was brushed away by a gentle and irresistible force.
Ming Cang looked at Tiannan with his chest heaving. He opened his mouth several times and finally laughed miserably: "But... Tiannan, can you teach me, what should I do if it's too late?"
Tiannan's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
But the next moment, Ming Cang suddenly turned around and said to Xie Tingyun in a hoarse and tearful voice: "Xie Tingyun... take him away! Do you still want to watch him die in front of you again?!"
Xie Tingyun's pupils shrank. Before he could figure out what Ming Cang meant by this, his hand took the lead and grabbed Ning Chen beside him.
There were so many vengeful spirits in the realm of vengeful ghosts that the bright candles were almost drowned by the vengeful spirits who died unjustly. The resentful energy of the vengeful spirits in the air was still so dense that one could not see the end at a glance.
The evil array of nightmare spirits was completely shattered, and resentment was rising in the realm of resentful ghosts. Tiannan's tears mixed with the candles, and the weeping obsessions of many unjustly died souls solidified into bright red and clear blood drops.
Ning Chen ignored the hand that was grabbed and the stiff and unbelieving look that might be cast at him.
He raised his eyes solemnly, raised his hand to collect the drop of resentful ghost tears into the palm of his hand, and then turned his hand and put it into Xie Tingyun's storage ring.
Xie Tingyun looked at Ning Chen with trembling eyes, and said word by word in an almost inaudible voice: "Ning...Chen?"
Ning Chen's hands were already shaking uncontrollably, because his soul, sea of consciousness and body meridians could no longer bear any more resentment.
However, Ning Shen's expression remained calm. He coughed up blood amidst the shocked and incredulous gazes of the crowd, and his usually strong back was now trembling visibly to the naked eye.
Ning Chen let out a click of his tongue, wiped the blood from his lips nonchalantly, sighed, and said to Xie Tingyun heartlessly, "Hurry up, Senior Brother. It will be too late if you don't leave now."
