Chi Shui's eyes flashed, and he spoke in a deep voice, looking at Cixi with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "I didn't expect you to have such good taste. Back then, my strength was something that many sects were afraid of, but because I progressed too quickly, they thought I deserved to die and started hunting me down, saying that the techniques I practiced were evil arts and that I was a villain!"
Chishui's eyes were filled with hatred. He recalled the scene when he pleaded with everyone, but they were ungrateful and even wanted to bring him to justice immediately. But he had never done anything they said! He denied it! No one believed him.
Chishui thought, since people don't believe in a good person, then he should become a bad person! Since people don't believe in him and have fabricated a false version of him, then he can have what they want! So from that time on, Chishui embarked on the path of evil cultivation.
At first, he couldn't adapt to this identity and killed his enemies. Later, he started killing anyone he saw. As long as it could improve his cultivation, he would kill anyone who came.
Until he killed too many people, the various sects could no longer tolerate his existence and began to organize a plan to eliminate him. At that time, he was advancing in his cultivation and was physically weak. After the righteous people learned of this, they began to hunt him down. He was no match for so many people and was eventually killed. His soul was sealed in this place, day and night! For so many years, he has been alone here, enjoying solitude.
However, some time ago, Chishui discovered that the barrier was showing signs of weakening, and his current strength was insufficient to break through the barrier.
One day, he unexpectedly discovered someone passing by. He spent most of his strength to possess that person, sending a portion of himself out to spread the word that there were treasures and opportunities for inheritance in this place.
As expected, upon hearing this, those greedy humans rushed to his death.
And most of the strength he had previously expended was successfully recovered after this group of people arrived.
Cixi listened quietly, when suddenly Chishui's eyes turned red. This was the eve of his outburst; recalling those events had caused him to completely lose control of his emotions.
Xu Yuehuai felt a sense of foreboding and looked at Yuan Shui, "How is he? He's about to collapse!"
Yuan Shui also began to get anxious. He had searched the room several times but still couldn't find the solution. As an ancient artifact, he had been trapped in the array seal for so many years, so he was particularly sensitive to this. He had thought he could find it effortlessly, but now he realized he had overestimated himself.
When Xu Yuehuai's voice reached his ears, he became even more anxious. When he turned to look at Xu Yuehuai, he saw that there was something wrong with the ground beneath his feet. There was a small pit right below where Xu Yuehuai was standing. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it at all. Wisps of black gas were emanating from the pit.
Seeing that Chishui was about to lose his temper, Yuanshui immediately sent a telepathic message to Xu Yuehuai, "The needle eye is under your feet, use fire element power to attack that pit!"
Xu Yuehuai had no doubt about Yuan Shui's words and immediately did as he was told.
When Chishui saw her move, he wanted to step forward to stop her, but his body couldn't enter the area. He could only rage helplessly, and he unleashed a blast of resentment at Xu Yuehuai, shouting, "You die!"
"This is not a place you can just touch!" Chishui said angrily.
Seeing that the attack was about to hit Xu Yuehuai, she frowned and continued to channel spiritual energy into the hole in the ground. Seeing that Xu Yuehuai was about to be injured, Cixi quickly ran in front of her and blocked the fierce attack.
Cixi tried to use her spiritual power to resist, but her barrier shattered in an instant, and the remaining resentment struck Cixi directly.
Cixi let out a muffled groan, then spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xu Yuehuai frowned and quickened her pace.
Chishui was both angry and anxious when he realized that his attack had failed to kill them. He was worried that Xu Yuehuai had damaged the array's core, causing his nutrients to be released from those little darlings.
Chishui was filled with rage, and resentment from all around rushed towards him, all converging on his direction. A hand shape appeared on the wall, on which a huge ball of resentment was condensing. Even Cixi felt fear through the wall.
He took a step back, but the thought that he would have died at the first hurdle long ago without Xu Yuehuai strengthened his resolve. Xu Yuehuai was making efforts for them to get out! How could he just stand by and wait to die?
Cixi became even more determined, his feet not moving an inch. He began to gather his power, preparing for the final battle against Chishui!
Chishui completely disregarded him. Seeing that Xu Yuehuai was about to succeed, he couldn't wait to unleash a powerful attack of resentment. The moment the resentment was released, both Xu Yuehuai and Cixi felt uncomfortable in their chests, a dull feeling as if something was pressing down on them, and even their movements became a little sluggish.
Upon seeing this, Cixi was astonished that Chishui's strength had reached such a level. According to what Chishui had just said, his current strength was less than 30% of his peak strength!
However, Cixi sensed that this power was comparable to that of her ancestor.
So, Chishui was really that strong back then? The strength of the sects and families from hundreds of years ago was truly terrifying!
Cixi was prepared to die here, vowing to protect Xu Yuehuai with her life.
"Yuanshui, come help!" Xu Yuehuai said to Yuanshui, who was standing to the side.
This is the first time Yuan Shui has fought alongside Xu Yuehuai. He and Xu Yuehuai have a contractual relationship, and if Xu Yuehuai dies, he won't fare much better. That's why he hasn't gone back yet, just to protect Xu Yuehuai. As for Cixi's life or death, he doesn't care.
Yuan Shui was somewhat displeased upon hearing Xu Yuehuai's words. He, a dignified ancient artifact, was being ordered around like this.
Although Yuan Shui was unwilling, considering that Xu Yuehuai had given him all the good things she had collected in the past two days, he reluctantly walked in front of Cixi, put his hands behind his back, and floated on the ground.
Chishui then noticed the child in front of him. He frowned, feeling that the aura emanating from the boy was somewhat unusual, even making him feel a little afraid.
Chishui snapped out of his daze and realized what he had been thinking. His face darkened instantly. "It seems you two aren't exactly saints. Even at a time like this, you send a child out to take the fall for you. Is this your so-called spiritual justice?"
As Chishui began its attack, the overwhelming resentment darkened the entire space for a moment.
Cixi felt the oppressive aura and couldn't breathe for a moment. He made his final preparations and faced death.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... Cixi opened her eyes.
