Chapter 55: Frankly speaking, I am not a good master, you hate me...
Xu Yi looked at the two people who had already embraced the beasts in the formation, and his eyebrows twitched involuntarily. He frowned, suppressed the anger in his heart, and endured it for a moment before finally asking, "Senior Yue, are you all so close to your spirit beasts?"
Yue Baiyin didn't need to come here. It was Fang Zhiming who told him that it was about Xiao Hei, so he hurried over. When he heard Xu Yi's question, he felt a little guilty, and under that guilt, he felt a little disappointed.
He remained calm and composed, saying, "This is a common occurrence in our sect. Don't worry, Sect Leader."
Xu Yi pursed his lips and said no more.
Although I don't think too much about it, I still resist.
Unable to understand, Xu Yi struggled for a while, sighed, lowered his eyes, and chose to respect.
Suddenly there was a commotion behind the monks, and soon a monk came to report that it was Luo Chuan, the Lord of Yuqiu, who came to pay a visit.
Hearing the name, Xu Yi and Yue Baiyin looked at each other in tacit understanding.
Kunlun, Yuqiu and Chengxu are the three major places for cultivating immortals in this world.
For thousands of years, Kunlun has been blessed with abundant spiritual energy, numerous immortal sects, excellent disciples, and tremendous strength, making it the undisputed leader of the immortal lands.
Chengxu is second, and Yuqiu is the third.
However, this delicate balance was broken when the demon-chasing war began.
This was because the first thing the devil did when he came to the world was to completely destroy the ruins with a flick of his fingers.
Not even a single mountaintop was taken down.
Chengxu really became a ruin.
So the Chengxu Mountains that stretched for tens of millions of years have now become a large lake.
Named,
Chengqing.
Yuqiu is different.
The Lord of Yuqiu at that time always hid in the back, claiming that he was weak and only wanted to protect himself, and never took any action.
Yuqiu is located in the extremely cold northwest, far away from the Demon Realm. With Kunlun and the human world in front and natural dangers nearby, it has become an extremely suitable place for hiding.
In comparison, Kunlun seems to be the first to bear the brunt.
Kunlun is only separated from the Demon Realm by the Taikoo Mountains. When the war against demons began, Kunlun became the place that the demons must attack, and it was also the first fortress to protect the people.
Most cultivators care about the world and are not afraid of life or death, but there are always exceptions.
Luo Chuan is one of the exceptions.
The demon god was born, unstoppable, and he shot all the Kunlun Mahayana monks in the head in the first fight.
When this incident happened, the fairyland and even the whole world were in an uproar.
Many people became frightened and left secretly.
Luo Chuan is different from those who are simply afraid of death.
In comparison, he cherishes his life more openly.
While others were doing it secretly, he was not only open and ostentatious, but when he left, he even encouraged a group of powerful monks to join him in joining the Yuqiu sect.
Before this, he was quite famous in the Tianjian Sect and was the last disciple of the then sect leader.
Therefore, when the head of the sect learned about this, he was so angry that he spat out blood. The usually kind and charitable man even cursed the boy as a brat.
Several decades ago, the Lord of Yuqiu passed away and passed the throne to Luochuan. In the following fifty years, Yuqiu's strength quickly became equal to that of Kunlun, and even showed signs of surpassing it.
Needless to say, Luo Chuan made an indelible contribution.
Xu Yi never cared much about such trivial matters. Kunlun and Yuqiu had always kept to themselves. He was just an acquaintance with them before, and later Luo Chuan's escape from the battlefield made him unhappy.
Therefore, when he heard this person's name, he was surprised and felt disgusted.
So, he asked sideways, "Could he explain his purpose?"
"He's not the only one here. There's another one who claims to be the owner of Kelai'an, Luo Yuancheng," the monk said. "He said he wants justice for his son."

The embrace seemed to be tightening, but Xu Xingxing did not struggle. To be more precise, she did not want to struggle at all.
Her nose was filled with the smell of blood, and her hands couldn't help but grab Xiao Hei's clothes, but she suddenly realized that everything she touched was soaked with blood.
Her heart ached even more, and she wanted to curse again, but she couldn't say it.
Xiao Hei had never shown weakness in front of her, let alone cried out in pain.
He scratched his hands casually with the ice blade, and would cut his hands into white bones if he didn't want to. The thunder from the sky struck him all over. Even with every step he took towards her, the magic circle would cut a bloody mark on his body, and then seep into his flesh and blood to burn his internal organs.
Heart-wrenching pain.
But he remained calm.
He seems to have never been one to be afraid of pain.
But now, he seemed to have dug himself open, spread himself flat, and laid his entire wet and bloody self in front of her.
And she finally didn't want to stab him any more.
Her heart softened, unable to soften any more, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Did something happen? Xiao Hei, what happened?"
Xiao Hei breathed deeply and slowly, and with every breath he took, a stream of hot blood would flow out of the golden cuffs, soaking her clothes and making her heart tremble.
His breath hit her neck, and he looked indulged. Hearing her words, he tightened his arms around her, but did not say a word in reply, not even an excuse.
She felt sad again and felt extremely wronged.
She could do nothing and knew nothing.
Xu Xingxing couldn't figure it out, she felt crazy and desperate. This feeling almost pushed her back to the night when Uncle Hei died.
Why couldn't she protect what she wanted to protect no matter where she was or when?
Why can't she keep the things she wants to keep no matter how hard she tries?
Her emotions were surging, and she no longer concealed them, letting her tears flow freely. She cried and said, "What happened? What happened? Why didn't you tell me anything? I don't know anything. This matter is too big. I can't protect you. What should I do? I can't protect you."
She grabbed Xiao Hei's clothes tightly, as if she was grabbing her own heart.
"Xiao Hei, you said you missed me, but how do you know I don't miss you?"
The body of Wei Yuan hugging her suddenly stiffened, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his breathing seemed to stop.
Xu Xingxing no longer cared about whether it was shy or appropriate. She just felt that she had to say these words. She wanted to say these words. If she didn't say it, Xiao Hei was afraid that she would never hear them.
"I miss you when I'm happy, but when I think of you not being around, I feel unhappy again. I also miss you when I'm sad, and then I feel even sadder. I desperately try to find a spirit beast, hoping to cure Xiao Ran, so that I can see you openly. I'm a combined cultivator now, very powerful, but I still get scared when I encounter those evil spirits. Whenever that happens, I miss you even more."
"Xiao Hei, I miss you so much. I don't want to leave you. I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought that when I saw you again, Xiao Ran had been cured. At least we can still be like before. I will try my best to make us like before..."
"But I don't understand why things turned out like this, Xiao Hei. I can't protect you. I can't protect you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm not a good master. You hate me, but I'm just an ordinary person."
Having said that, Xu Xingxing could no longer control herself and burst into tears.
From beginning to end, Hou Yuan's body was stiff, his heartbeat seemed to have stopped, and he did not come back to his senses for a long time. His mind, his entire body, and even all the years he had lived were combined into two words, constantly washing and magnifying in his soul.
Stars, stars, stars
When the memory first came back to him, he seemed to be reliving the horrific event all over again.
He lost his mind, was insane, extremely bloodthirsty and full of hatred.
The sentence that keeps popping up in my mind is:
Why is he still alive?
Why let him live?
But now, the feeling of suffocation and despair that had been lingering in his heart completely disappeared, and was instantly replaced by overwhelming ecstasy.
Despair turns into joy, and silence turns into vitality.
Fortunately, fortunately...
Fortunately, he didn't really die.
Fortunately, he turned into a spirit beast
Fortunately, he met her
Stars, stars,
My star.
As she cried, Xu Xingxing felt a little disappointed: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault that things turned out like this!"
As she spoke, she became extremely angry and pulled his hair back hard: "If I had known this would happen, I might as well not have saved you in the first place, I might as well not have met you in the first place!"
Suddenly, thunder rumbled in Hou Yuan's mind, and his heart, which had just risen to the sky, instantly fell back to the ground. His lips turned pale, and he hugged the woman tightly, his tone filled with anger:
"I won't allow it!"
"No, damn it, no, if you do it again, you'll die! Die sooner and be reborn sooner rather than later bring disaster to the world and hurt my heart. You're a scumbag, mad dog. It would be a happy ending if you just died sooner!"
He also seemed to be infected with childishness, his hands shaking with anger, and he loudly retorted: "I won't allow it! I won't allow it! Even if I die, you can't get rid of me! Don't you care whether I live or die? Do you think this can really kill me? Even if I am broken into pieces, I will still haunt you day and night! Even if my soul is scattered, I will still find you! Don't think you can get rid of me! Don't even think about getting rid of me!"
"Get lost! Are you not dumb anymore? I'm asking you this, but you're deaf. You seem to be venting your anger when you argue with me. I know you just want to piss me off to death! I'm so damn unlucky. How could I have a natal spirit beast like you?"
Xu Xingxing was so angry that she grabbed his hair with both hands and pulled it back hard, trying to pull Xiao Hei off her.
To no avail.
She was about to grab more hair, but when her right hand passed over his right ear, her heart suddenly jumped.
…
What……?
She placed her hand on it again uncertainly.
My heart suddenly felt empty.
Nothing.
Where are the ears?
Where is Xiao Hei’s right ear?
Her chest suddenly felt like it was filled with a large amount of sand and stones, pressing down on her to the point where she couldn't breathe.
Surprise, panic, heartache, and confusion all surged up in her, making her exert force to push Xiao Hei away and part his hair to take a closer look.
That’s all.
It's really gone.
Only a thin layer of skin and flesh remained, covered with blood and unformed blood scabs.
Is this... being pulled down by life?
Her hands trembled, her heart trembled, and even her body trembled. She looked into his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are your ears?"
Yuan looked at the pair of deer-like eyes that were completely red, and the hand that was stroking his face suddenly became cold, and his voice was full of tears. All this was because of him.
He should have been ecstatic and content, leaping for joy.
But now, what flashed through his mind was endless panic. Because the two were so close, he couldn't suppress it quickly and could only lower his eyes to hide it.
This was the only thing, the only thing he didn't want her to know.
I wouldn't even want to die.
It was even more frightening to him than letting her know that he was a demon.
His shame, his humiliation, the way he was tied to a stake and humiliated.
These are disgusting things.
He would not reveal any of it even to his grave.
This is also the reason why he never speaks.
As for the broken ears.
He forgot, or perhaps he didn't care much. It was just an ear, and it wouldn't be a big deal even if it was really gone.
So even though he had extremely strong recovery abilities, he didn't spare any effort to recover.
What's more, when he lost control unexpectedly, he was willing to endure the pain and blood, so how could he have the time to pay attention and repair his ears?
But now,
He regretted it.
He saw that the woman had bitten her lips until they bled, and tears were streaming down her cheeks. His heart was broken, and for the first time he didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, he smelled a scent.
That familiar, fishy, rotten smell.
Then, a voice was heard: "Master Xu, could it be that this damned vicious dog is your daughter's natal spirit animal, so you are reluctant to kill it? Then will my son and the people of this city die in vain?!"
