Chapter 717: Fu Wei
On the top of Tianyu Mountain, only Yun Qingqing was left standing alone in the center of the blood-colored formation.
The strong wind made her clothes flutter, but it could not move her body at all.
Yi Hengchong suddenly burst into wild laughter, and his skinny fingers trembled as he reached into his arms:
"All believers, listen up! Welcome the Lord God, even if it means death!"
He took out a dark white infant bone flute, and the shrill sound of the flute instantly resounded across the mountain top.
The remaining disciples of the Zhengyang Sect on the mountain all showed fanatical expressions, ripping open their sleeves to reveal the hideous bird totems on their arms.
"For the Lord God!"
"I will never refuse even if I die!"
Amidst the continuous shouts, the disciples became thin and shriveled one after another, and finally turned into wisps of blood mist and dissipated.
The essence of blood and flesh turned into wisps of red smoke and rushed madly towards the center of the formation.
Yi Hengchong's own body also began to shrivel, and his skin withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Did you see that... Yun Qingqing..." His voice was hoarse as a broken gong, "This is... the real... sacrifice..."
When the last bit of flesh and blood was drained, he uttered his final words with a sinister smile:
"The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady... is nothing more than... a stumbling block for the Lord God... Today... she is finally yours..."
His voice dissipated in the wind.
The entire formation suddenly glowed brightly red!
Snap——
Suddenly, a crisp sound of shattering was heard between heaven and earth.
Blood clouds surged on the top of the mountain, like a floodgate opened, and huge waves of blood rushed in all directions.
Wherever it passed, the grass and trees withered instantly and the rocks turned into powder.
Yun Qingqing stood in the center of the storm, and the Dawn Sword emitted a clear and melodious sound.
She slowly raised her head and looked at the terrifying aura that was awakening in the deepest part of the blood cloud.
Deep in the blood cloud, a twisted shadow gradually took shape.
The outline sometimes looks like the fangs of a giant beast, and sometimes like thousands of tentacles. Just looking at it makes people feel tingling.
"Hahahaha..." The evil demon's laughter shook the mountain. "Two thousand years ago, you took advantage of my unpreparedness and launched a sacrifice. Now your strength is not even half of what it used to be. Let's see how you can stop me!"
"This world will eventually become my nourishment!"
Yun Qingqing's lips suddenly curled up in a sarcastic arc:
"You made one mistake."
A dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from her body, and her hair moved without wind.
The evil demon's laughter stopped abruptly - the aura was seen rising steadily, and in the blink of an eye, a brilliant golden elixir condensed in his dantian. Before anyone could see clearly, he broke through the shackles of the Nascent Soul!
Inside the Xuanyuan Tower, the monks stared in amazement through the light curtain.
"Gold, Golden Pill?!"
"More than that! This person is clearly at the Nascent Soul stage!"
"There are still people in this world who can..."
The eyes of the Seven Star Hall disciples lit up, and some waved their sleeves and shouted:
"Open your eyes and look carefully! This is the savior from two thousand years ago, the Lady of the Nine Heavens, worshipped by my Seven Stars Palace for generations!"
There was an uproar in the tower.
Someone from Tianxuan Sect added unwillingly:
"That's also the mentor of the founder of my Tianxuan Sect! He's our great ancestor!"
The people from other sects were stunned.
Outside the tower, the shadow of the evil demon surged violently, and blood chains attacked Yun Qingqing:
"Impossible! Why would you…"
"Just because of this." Yun Qingqing's aura of pressure surged, and she easily blocked the blood chain. Her fingertips lightly touched her brows, and a seal pattern emerged and shattered. "Back then, it wasn't just the formation that sealed you, but also half of my cultivation."
The Dawn Sword hummed as it hung in the air. With each word she spoke, the sword's golden light grew brighter.
"Now that the great formation has been broken—"
At the moment when the sword light suddenly increased, she finally revealed a cold smile:
"This cultivation should naturally be returned to its original owner!"
The demon's shadow suddenly solidified, and then burst into earth-shattering laughter:
"Good, good! It's a good thing to return it to its rightful owner!"
"But you didn't expect that? I heard you say so much, but I just wanted to buy time!"
The blood cloud suddenly surged violently, expanding outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The demonic aura rose steadily, and countless scarlet eyes opened in the shadows:
"This is my complete form! Even if you regain your cultivation, it will only be half of what it was back then! Even if you sacrifice yourself again today, you won't be able to stop this blood cloud formation that has been brewing for two thousand years!"
Yun Qingqing's expression remained unchanged as she raised her hand and shot a beam of light towards the sky:
"Oh, how do you know I didn't let you out on purpose?"
"Bluff!" the evil demon shouted, and thousands of blood arrows shot out from the shadows.
But Yun Qingqing rose into the sky, Poxiao easily dispersed the blood arrow, and the tip of the sword drew seven golden patterns in the air, distributed in seven directions.
The last sword pierced the ground, and the eighth formation lit up under her feet.
“Now!”
Amidst the clear shouts, figures appeared from the seven formation centers.
Si Ling's silver hair flew, and her small hands formed seals to guard the east;
Zhiluo and Youya stood back to back, their demonic power infusing the southern array's center;
The four elders of the Seven Stars Hall each occupied a corner, and the disciples followed in formation;
Qing Pingzi of Tianxuan Sect personally sat in the northwest, with thirty-six elite disciples connected by spiritual power behind him;
The elders of Changliu Mountain and Feng Yin occupied the last center of the formation, and talismans flew like butterflies.
Buzz——
Seven small formations lit up at the same time, and golden beams of light shot up into the sky from under Yun Qingqing's feet, interweaving into a giant net that covered the sky.
The expanding blood cloud seemed to hit an invisible barrier, making a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.
"With this little ability, you still want to seal me? Dream on!"
The evil demon roared and urged the blood cloud, causing the formation to tremble slightly.
"Wrong!" Yun Qingqing pointed his sword at the sky, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
"It was because of our hasty response two thousand years ago that you have survived until now. This time..." Her eyes flashed with golden light, "From the beginning to the end, my goal has always been..."
"I will kill you and put an end to your future troubles!"
“That’s ridiculous!”
The evil demon's figure merged with the blood cloud and spread out in all directions again:
"With your current level, you're only good enough to protect yourself! Wait until I've feasted on the blood, energy, and resentment of the world, and then I'll slowly deal with you, hahahahaha..."
As the blood clouds surged, countless resentments turned into black mist that corroded the formation.
An elder of the Seven Stars Hall suddenly groaned, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The disciples of Tianxuan Sect were pale and cold sweat oozed from their foreheads.
Feng Yin's talismans exploded one after another, and veins on his arms bulged.
Only Si Ling's silver hair was flying, and her small hands were motionless as she formed seals.
"Hahahaha!" The evil demon's laughter shook the rocks. "Just relying on these ants, you dare to think that you can compete with me?"
Suddenly, a streak of purple lightning split the blood-red cloud. Qi Mo gracefully stepped on the lightning and, with a flick of his folding fan, he took the place of the injured elder. "Master, I am late."
A green light suddenly appeared in the southeast, and Jiang Lianzhou from the Medical Immortal Valley flew over, with a green lotus mark appearing between his eyebrows:
"Medical Immortal Valley Jiang Lianzhou—" He paused, a thousand years of memories flashing in his eyes, "No, I should call him disciple Yingquan."
A hint of relief appeared on Yun Qingqing's pale face.
I didn't expect Ying Quan to return at this critical moment. So...
Two figures suddenly appeared in the two formations in the south, replacing the elders who were unable to cope with the situation, and the light of the formations immediately stabilized.
It turned out to be Lu Ran and Lu Fan.
Yun Qingqing suddenly realized that when she met these two people, she had not yet retrieved Liufang, nor had she entered the dislocated space left by Tong Hua. The way of heaven was not obvious, so she could not recognize that Lu Ran was the reincarnation of Xiao Wu Lu Ming, and Tong Hua was actually reincarnated as Lu Fan.
No wonder he said he had seen her riding a sword in his dream when he first saw her.
As my thoughts surged, a long roar like a dragon's roar sounded from the east.
A green dragon came swiftly from the horizon, transformed into a humanoid form and landed at the southern center of the formation. It looked at Yun Qingqing with a look of joy:
"Master! You have truly returned safely!"
Yun Qingqing's eyes flashed and she nodded slightly. Yan Shu took over the formation automatically without saying a word, and a bright light appeared.
Feng Yin suddenly trembled all over and his eyes were blank for a moment.
When he opened his eyes again, his aura surged, and eighty-one golden talismans flew out from his sleeves:
"Master, be my friend! Stay here and return to your place!"
Yun Qingqing looked around at the disciples who had returned in an orderly manner. Her mind was in a state of flux, and a clear light in her eyes involuntarily lit up.
She suddenly saw a dazzling purple aura connecting all the disciples and pointing in the same direction.
Xuanyuan Tower.
She was very familiar with the rich purple color, and everything made sense.
Two thousand years ago, that person tried his best to keep her soul from dispersing, deduced all the key nodes after her return, and worked with her disciples to make various arrangements.
The price he paid was his own existence.
That's why no one remembers him, that's why his extraordinary bones are completely destroyed, that's why he's destined to live a short and lonely life for dozens of lifetimes...
Yun Qingqing's gaze penetrated the blood cloud and met Xiao Changheng in the Xuanyuan Tower from a distance. She opened her lips silently.
It's you.
Seven beams of light shot up into the sky, and the formation was finally complete.
The blood cloud was forced back three feet. The evil demon was shocked and furious: "A last-ditch struggle! I want to see how long you can hold on!"
Yun Qingqing suddenly turned around, and Poxiao waved out a new formation and soared into the air.
"support?"
Her voice was colder than ever before.
"Fu Wei, you haven't realized your situation yet. Today will be the day of your death!"
Two thousand years ago, so many old friends paid a huge price to ensure her return, and this time she never thought of any other ending.
The evil must die!
"What!...How...do you know my real name!"
