Chapter 33 Fu Ling's Memories Black hair clung to Xu Qingning's pale, handsome face...
Zhou Fuling was stunned.
Zou Li's eyes reflected Zhou Fuling's double image, filled with bloodlust: "I remember... I remember who you are! A hundred years ago, I wasn't involved in what happened afterward... Ah, ah! Don't kill me!"
Xu Qingning couldn't believe Zou Li's words.
What does that mean?
Mr. Qing also said, "Young Master, what are you saying?!"
What? What do you mean?
"Heh..."
The longsword pierced Zou Li's mouth and stirred inside.
Zhou Fuling looked at him coldly, like a god or Buddha: "I guessed what you were going to say when you took out your sword, so you don't need to say it."
Zou Li is dying.
"Young Master!" The others were blocked outside the barrier created by the "Immortal Gate Clash". They wanted to rush up, but they were all helpless and their eyes turned red.
Zhou Fuling killed Zou Li as easily as chopping vegetables.
"—Ah!" Zou Li screamed again.
In the utter silence, Yuan Zhong and the Snake Guards were ashen-faced, as if they could see the scene of many aristocratic families' opponents dying tragically under the young master's sword.
But now, the positions of victims and perpetrators have been reversed.
The person who frantically crawled on the ground, the person who shook their head in pain, became Zou Li.
Amidst screams, Zou Li's other leg was also severed. He collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat and his face covered in blood and tears.
Why did he come?!
Why did you come?
Why...it's this person?!
...
"What?! You said... Young Master went to Dongzhou alone to find Zhou Fuling, just to seek out Xu Qingning's unhappiness?!" Zou Lanci suddenly stood up.
Behind her stood a group of golden-clad dragon guards.
Everyone was ready to go.
The three immortal ministers and twelve field commanders of Longtan are all on the golden palace and jade steps.
"He's gone mad! He'll die!! Fool, fool!" Zou Lanci slammed his fist on the table, his face pale, his eyes blazing with rage, his expression a mixture of shock and pain.
The dragon guards standing nearby were also stunned.
The immortals have assembled the Dragon Guards and are making arrangements. Half of them will surround Tianji Gate, while the other half will bypass the eight great immortal sects and surround Yun Ning Sect in Nanzhou. However, they are being held back by Zou Lancheng's people, and the group is currently discussing matters in secret.
Zou Lanci, her eyes blazing with fury, stepped onto her dragon palanquin and hurried towards the Eastern Continent.
...
Zhou Fuling killed Zou Li.
She showed no mercy.
Her moves were all deadly.
But then a sharp sound rang out, and the dagger pierced through Zou Li's skull.
Zou Li was covered in blood, hissing softly, writhing wildly like a worm.
He died. He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
In the stillness, Zhou Fuling carried the dead man's sword and bow.
She removed the tracking spirit from it.
She looked back again and saw that the crowd was either running around in fear or trembling uncontrollably, as if they were convinced that they would die today.
Upon seeing Zhou Fuling set off, everyone made way for her.
Xu Qingning sat at the foot of the stone wall, his black hair clinging to his pale, handsome profile.
He gazed at her, his obsidian eyes as cold and aloof as ever.
Yet it seemed as if shrouded in a layer of cold fog.
...It seems like she needs to completely separate herself from her former junior sister.
There is also something to explore inside.
Zhou Fuling snorted coldly.
[Villain's favorability -1%]
Xu Qingning's eyelashes trembled, and she slightly raised her head.
Many people held their breath.
But then, demonic energy rose from Zhou Fuling's hand, indicating her intent to kill—
Suddenly, a deafening roar was heard!
She watched helplessly as golden spiritual energy surged in like a tidal wave, forming a cage like golden ropes that completely surrounded the area.
The voice of Sect Leader Xu Lechuan came from outside: "The disciples of Tianji Sect are here! You demon, why don't you submit and be executed at once!"
Zhou Fuling glared at him and grabbed Xu Qingning, demanding, "What did you do?"
"..."
Xu Qingning looked at her coldly, took off her gag, and did not respond.
Zhou Fuling suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness emanating from her hand, like needles.
She lowered her head, her palm displaying a flickering sky-blue magic seal.
A scene suddenly flashed through her mind.
Xu Qingning broke free of the Binding Immortal Rope. She pressed down on his hand, feeling the chill in it. And there was his deliberate closeness.
...Some hand seals can only be applied by getting close.
Zhou Fuling suddenly realized: "Oh, Xu Qingning, you were scheming all along?!"
Xu Qingning crashed into the rocks in a sorry state.
On his palm was a sky-blue hand seal, with the character "寒" (cold) written in seal script. That was the very hand seal that could cause a cultivator's spiritual veins to feel cold and weaken their spiritual power.
Do you still remember Xu Qingning's struggle?
Xu Qingning approached Zhou Fuling in order to influence her with the Dharma Seal.
As long as Zhou Fuling gets close, the cloth can be laid.
"Young Sect Leader!"
"Qingning!"
Several sharp arrows shot out, piercing through the clouds and splitting rocks. Zhou Fuling dodged them and glared coldly at Xu Qingning.
"Fine, you want to capture me alive?!"
From afar came shouts, and Zhou Fuling vaguely saw Elder Xu and other elders of the Tianji Sect leading cultivators to attack, presumably intending to capture her alive.
Zhou Fuling reacted extremely quickly, suddenly flashing in front of Mr. Qing. Mr. Qing screamed in pain as she grabbed him.
She jumped out of the cave.
Xu Qingning hurriedly followed, only to see a dark shadow below the cave, like an abyss.
And then the others arrived.
Xu Qingning's snow-white cloak was stained with blood, his Taoist robe was disheveled, and he had wounds on his lips and body. He looked extremely weak, and he was also bound by the Immortal Binding Rope. This sight shocked everyone.
When had they ever seen Xu Qingning in such a sorry state?
"Master Xu" rushed over, and it turned out to be "Hao Cheng" in disguise.
Xu Qingning closed her eyes.
He guessed that Zhou Fuling couldn't fight for long, so he had Haocheng pretend to be her uncle to intimidate her.
It was just too risky.
It took Hao Cheng some time to remove the restrictions on Xu Qingning.
"Young Sect Leader!"
Xu Qingning closed his eyes.
——
Everyone in Longtan was detained. They hadn't expected Xu Qingning to be willing to protect them, and they followed him willingly.
But not long after, someone forcibly broke the formation.
Xu Qingning looked up in surprise to find that Zou Lanci had barged in!
Seeing Zou Li's miserable state, Zou Lanci, being his son, cried out loudly three times, "Li'er! Li'er!"
She went berserk and attacked Xu Qingning.
Yuan Zhong: "It wasn't Young Master Xu who killed Zou Li, it was Zhou, Zhou Fuling! That's a demon!"
Zou Lanci acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and his attack was ruthless. Xu Qingning was already injured and couldn't stop him.
"Xu Qingning, if Li'er dies in Dongzhou, you will be buried with her!"
"Zou Lanci, what's wrong with you?!"
Zou Lancheng, Zou Lanci's sister and Xu Qingning's aunt, also arrived, and the group began to fight.
Suddenly, Xu Qingning activated a mechanism, and a cannon fired.
Surprisingly, Xu Qingning threw out a recording bead.
“Immortal Zou, we need your explanation,” Xu Qingning said coldly.
Above the celestial mist, Zou Li, covered in blood, lay prostrate beneath Zhou Fuling's sword. Zou Lanci's pupils dilated in shock, and then Zou Li said:
"—I remember who you are! We used to be friends, and I wasn't involved in what happened afterward... Ah, ah! Don't kill me!"
“Your Majesty,” Xu Qingning said, half of his body stained with blood, “the wounds on my body today were all inflicted by Zhou Fuling. I only learned of her identity today, but why did Zou Li say he knew her?”
"Zou Li is dizzy and disoriented; he must have been bewitched by you. You must calm down!" Zou Lanci's face was grim.
But then Zou Lanci drew his sword again, and the sword formation roared, shaking the mountains. Suddenly, the name of the immortal crane was heard.
To Zou Lanci's drastic change in expression, it turned out that quite a few Immortal Masters from the Asking Heaven Platform had also arrived.
The Heavenly Ascension Platform is home to the twelve highest-ranking immortal masters in this realm, who can even elect the next immortal master after the current one dies. Xu Qingning is one of them, and he just called out the names of many people who were not Zou Lanci.
This was the person Xu Qingning had just summoned.
Zou Lanci stopped in her tracks.
At that moment, someone whom Xu Qingning never expected appeared, stumbling and staggering.
She is Ning Chenghan, Ning Tingyue's wife, the fairy who is in charge of the first part of Yun Ning.
Her face was pale, and she couldn't believe it: "What, Zhou Fuling... Zhou Fuling killed Ning Tingyue?! How is that possible?"
She came with a celestial master.
The immortal masters were incredulous, especially after seeing Xu Qingning's recording pearl explode.
"My lord, what's going on here???"
Zou Lanci's face was cold, but he seemed to be gradually coming to his senses and stopped speaking.
Xu Qingning bowed to her and sheathed her sword: "Now that things have come to this, it would be better to turn hostility into friendship."
"What?"
Zou Lancheng, standing to the side, blurted out, "What else could it be?! Of course, it's to jointly suppress Zhou Fuling! And Zou Lanci, you'd better explain clearly what Zou Li meant by those words before he died?!"
...
"mother?!"
"mother!"
In the southern border of the Eastern Continent, atop a barren, overgrown mountain, lies a dark cave.
Zhou Fuling lay on the cold stone, her whole body burning red, struggling to escape the nightmare.
My heart feels like it's going to explode.
She dreamt of the past.
The voices of my parents came from the distant past.
The first sentence is:
"Xiao Wu, we brought you a gift."
-
"Xiao Wu, we brought you a gift."
Zhou Fuling used to live in Zishijian.
Her days were the same every day. She studied, practiced martial arts, tamed demons, and listened to her parents.
During her childhood, she had a very good relationship with her parents. She had two fathers and two mothers who would visit her every month.
Until she hadn't killed a single person.
"Why? You didn't kill Xia Yanbai?!"
They were furious.
Including her usually gentle young mother. She gripped her arm, hysterical:
"Why didn't you kill Xu Qingning?!"
Zhou Fuling was imprisoned in a dark and sunless cave.
One day, Zhou Fuling opened her eyes in a daze, as if someone was calling her.
She was shaken awake.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..."
Her beloved youngest mother was by her side.
The young mother held up a candle, speaking in a low voice. She appeared to be injured, covered in blood.
Zhou Fuling's pupils contracted: "Mother!"
The young mother said:
"let's go."
"What's wrong, little mother? Didn't you say you didn't want me anymore?"
"How could this be?" the young mother whispered, a tear falling from her eye. "Good child... but we have to go. From now on, don't trust anyone! Your father and stepmother... they both want to kill you now! They're so heartless, after raising you for so many years... I'm useless, I can't persuade them!"
