Chapter 96: Reckoning Where else can you go except by my side? ...
Demon clan, Yue Ji.
Can these two nouns be connected together?
——It’s really a ghost!
Qi Qing couldn't tell whether it was the pain in his chest or the huge impact. His mind went blank for a moment. He watched the familiar figure approaching step by step and instinctively took a half step back.
Then Yue Ji’s face turned ugly.
"Why are you hiding from me?"
He spoke in a low voice, and pulled the person into his arms without allowing anyone to refuse.
Qi Qing groaned from the collision and held his chest. Yue Ji immediately lowered his head to check his injuries, fiddled with them for a few times, and then his eyes pierced through the demon shadow like a knife.
Mo Ying spread his hands to show that he was innocent: "I rescued him immediately."
He pointed at the head of Yuqing Sect and said, "The culprit."
"You are a bunch of demon beasts in human skin!"
The head of Yuqing Sect wanted to eat their flesh alive and almost rushed over: "You killed my disciples and stole my chance! I should have crushed you two to ashes long ago, and let you two who disregard human ethics die miserably!"
The insults that followed were cut off by the Demon Shadow, Yue Ji pretended not to hear them, his cold face cut his palm, blood gushed out, and he pressed his palm against Qi Qing's bloodless lips without saying a word.
Qi Qing had just caught his breath when he was choked by the strong smell of blood. His stomach was extremely uncomfortable with the taste and he dry-heaved subconsciously. When he was about to push away, his hands were clamped.
Yue Ji pinched his chin and forced him to open his mouth. The warm blood flowed quickly along his palm into his throat.
"Um, cough... cough cough."
The young man was forced to raise his fragile neck, his Adam's apple rolling, and he helplessly swallowed everything that was fed to his mouth.
A few streaks of blood flowed out from the corners of his lips, leaving glaring red marks on his pale skin.
Only after he had swallowed several mouthfuls did Qi Qing finally cough and tilt his head to the side. He closed his eyes and leaned weakly in Yue Ji's arms, gasping for breath a few times, with a fishy and salty taste between his lips and teeth.
Seeing that the person in his arms finally looked better, Yue Ji withdrew his hand. When he turned around, his eyes were frighteningly cold.
The head of Yuqing Sect, who was pinned to the ground by Moying, was still struggling, and was immediately slapped by Moying: "Shut up."
"Let go." The young man in black ordered calmly.
The demon shadow let go as he was told, and the head of the Yuqing Sect immediately started cursing, "You little bastard, you..."
Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed.
“Uhh—”
A shrill scream suddenly rang out, followed by half a bloody tongue falling to the ground.
The head of Yuqing Sect opened his eyes wide in horror and subconsciously wanted to pick it up, but in the blink of an eye, several cold lights flashed by.
All ten fingers were cut off and blood gushed out.
He finally realized something and began to tremble with fear.
——He can’t use spiritual power here!
Similarly, the executioner on the opposite side was clearly unable to use spiritual power, and with only a long sword, the strong and the weak began to reverse.
The leader of the Yuqing Sect felt so much pain that his eyes went black. He rolled on the ground wailing and tears streaming down his face.
Having lived a life of luxury all his life, how could he have ever suffered such torture? Even though he was filled with hatred, he could only make a "ho ho" sound from his severed tongue.
He must kill these people!
The demon shadow bent down slightly and asked him with a smile: "Don't worry, you can't die here even if you want to. Are you relieved?"
How can this be called a relief? This is clearly a life worse than death!
His face looked extremely ugly and his screams were so loud that it hurt people's eardrums. Yue Ji frowned in disgust and kicked the man away. When he looked up again, he met Qi Qing's stiff eyes.
Qi Qing was sure that he had never taught Yue Ji to act like this, and he even rarely killed people in front of Yue Ji, but looking at his skillful movements, he was afraid that he had done so many times in private.
Is there something wrong?
Mo Ying reminded at the right time: "Time is almost up, young master, would you like to stay a little longer, or just..."
"etc!"
Qi Qing pointed at Yue Ji with a trembling finger: "He... is the young master you mentioned?"
Mo Ying shrugged, and Qi Qing immediately looked at Yue Ji.
The young man in black stiffened slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
Qi Qing: “…”
...Very good, it seems that Yue Ji did not become a demon cultivator on a whim recently.
It has already been!!
He couldn't catch his breath and finally fainted.
…
When I woke up again, what came into view was the dark starry sky.
Qi Qing felt dizzy and his eyes were dizzy. He stared at the sky blankly, not moving at all.
There was a fresh taste of blood lingering in his mouth - Yue Ji must have fed him more blood while he was unconscious.
But he didn't have the energy to care about this now. He didn't even have the energy to retch. He felt like he had been hit by a blow on the head and his head was drooping.
Fortunately, Yue Ji turned around out of habit to check and found that he had woken up.
"Master?"
"...Don't call me Master."
Qi Qing replied woodenly.
Yue Ji was silent for a moment, but still called out cautiously, "Master."
Qi Qing simply turned his back and made his attitude clear with his actions.
When they turned around, they found that there were more than just the two of them in the wilderness.
Not far away, there was a group of monks sitting in a dark crowd, all of them looked terrified and looked at this side at a loss.
What's going on? Are they all arrested?
Qi Qing was stunned for a moment, and carefully identified those faces, and found that they were not the people who went with Yunxiao Sect. Although there were a few familiar faces, there were more unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before.
He forced himself to sit up and asked Yue Ji with a sullen face, "What's going on with these people? What's the situation at Yunxiao Sect now?"
Yue Ji glanced at those people nonchalantly and whispered, "It's better for Master not to know about their affairs... After you fainted, I took you away from Yunxiao Sect."
"You only brought me?" Qi Qing narrowed his eyes: "Where are the others? Are they dead?"
It's not his fault that he thought too much. It was just that Yue Ji disguised himself too well, so after the truth was revealed, he was full of doubts about everything and there was no credibility at all.
The demon clan, not the demon cultivators.
——This means that Yue Ji has been a demon from the beginning to the end.
When he was hinting at his views on the demons, when he was deceived by the black shadow, when he was indignant about the dirty water thrown at him for colluding with the demons... what was Yue Ji thinking?
Should I laugh at his stupidity? Or should I just sit there and act with him?
Thinking of this, he sneered: "It must be hard for you to practice spiritual cultivation for so many years, to pretend?"
Yue Ji's face turned pale and he said, "...I didn't mean to deceive Master."
"Yes, you didn't do it on purpose. I forced you to do it." Qi Qing sneered, "I forced you to become my disciple, forced you to pretend to be a pure and harmless little white rabbit, forced you to play the role of my obedient disciple, right?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone. Yue Ji lowered his eyes, as if he didn't dare to answer.
Qi Qing now has chest pain, heart pain, and even more headache.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You said you believed in you, and I agreed, but what happened? You played a double act with the black shadow, betrayed your teacher and destroyed your ancestors, and still wanted to act like a hero saving a beautiful girl! You enjoyed it, didn't you? It's also my fault for being stupid! I wanted to leave all the good things for you, but what did I get in return? You bastard."
Thinking back to the things that happened during his time travel, Qi Qing suddenly felt a sense of frustration as if he had suffered a great loss.
He worked several jobs a day and was so sleepy that he could fall asleep while standing, but he still had to stay awake to guide Yue Ji in his cultivation. He saved up all his spiritual stones by eating frugally to buy equipment for Yue Ji and for daily chores. He was afraid that Yue Ji would go astray, and he had to pay attention to his mental health - but this path was crooked from the beginning!
He gave away his spirit stones, swordsmanship, care and trust, and even his person and emotions in the end, but what did Yue Ji give him in return?
Just thinking about it, Qi Qing felt that his life was so miserable.
His chest began to ache again, and he couldn't help but press it. Yue Ji saw this and reached out to rub it for him, but he opened his mouth fiercely and said weakly: "Don't touch me!"
Yue Ji pursed his lips, staring at him with his deep eyes without blinking, without saying a word.
Perhaps it was due to his impatience, Qi Qing's vision went dark again. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, fearing that he would be so angry at this traitor that he would faint on the spot.
Yue Ji was afraid that he would faint again, so he immediately hugged him and raised his hand to cut his palm, but Qi Qing suddenly held down his wrist.
He glared at Yue Ji fiercely and said word by word: "Didn't you promise me not to use this method again?"
What does this bastard think he is? A blood pump? He thinks the blood will never stop flowing?
Yue Ji was silent for a moment, then suddenly interlocked his fingers with his and asked carefully, "Then...does the promise Master made to me before still count?"
He wants to exchange his promise for his own promise. It's wishful thinking!
"Is it okay if I simply don't want to drink your blood?" Qi Qing shook off his hand and said coldly, "Go away."
Yue Ji held it again stubbornly: "Then it still counts."
Qi Qingqi laughed: "Why? Can you make decisions for me? Who are you to me?"
"Daoist companion." Yue Ji did not retreat but advanced, his eyes burning: "I am your Daoist companion."
Qi Qing angrily said: "Bullshit, where did I get a Taoist partner?"
This bastard has been thinking about him since he was fourteen years old, and now he has the nerve to call him a Taoist partner. He is so shameless.
Is this the time to worry about your butt? No, you should worry about it too... but not now!
The most important issue now is that he was cheated!
This brat talks sweeter than anyone else, but he cheats and robs behind the scenes.
He also swore to everyone that he had never colluded with the evil cultivators, but as soon as Yue Ji showed up, he directly confirmed his guilt.
How can this be washed clean?
The more he thought about it and looked at this man's face, the angrier he got. Qi Qing wanted to punch him and tell him to get out of his sight.
The monks around were silent as a mouse, watching them quarrel in silence. No one dared to respond, and no one showed surprise at Yue Ji's identity as a demon.
Qi Qing was too lazy to think about why. He took a deep breath and walked straight to one of the monks.
"Hey." He said coldly, and kicked the man lightly with his toes: "How did you get here? Were you forced by him?"
The monk shook his head hurriedly and shrank back.
Qi Qing frowned, thinking that this man was afraid of Yue Ji's power.
He turned to the other person and said in a slower tone, "What about you? Were you abducted by force?"
As expected, this man also shook his head frantically with flickering eyes.
"They all followed voluntarily." Yue Ji's voice came from behind him.
He took a step forward, almost touching Qi Qing's back, and said aggrievedly: "Those who went to Yunxiao Sect with me are also alive. Master, I have never killed innocent people... I just took you away in front of them."
Qi Qing turned around abruptly, his anger rising again: "Did I agree to go with you?"
Yue Ji stared at him solemnly, put one hand on his waist, and suddenly exerted force, pressing him into his arms.
The young man in black whispered, "Master, do you think you can go anywhere else except by my side?"
"Everyone else can be gone...but I will never let you go, never."
