Chapter 56: Self-blame leads to hatred towards oneself
In the distance, thousands of Jade Hill monks were suspended in the air, dressed in gray, standing in an orderly manner, like a dark cloud hanging in the sky.
Nearby is a flying phoenix as big as a house, decorated in gorgeous and magnificent style. You don’t need to guess who is sitting inside.
Closer on the ground were Luo Yuancheng and his servants. Dozens of Kunlun monks stood in front of them, preventing them from entering the magic circle.
Qin Feng had long lost his patience and said in a cold tone, "Luo Yuancheng, don't you understand what we're saying? We've been speaking to you in a gentle and kind way, but you haven't heard a single word."
Fang Zhiming stopped Qin Feng and continued, "Boss Luo, I understand your feelings. We will deal with the murderer, but this is my Kunlun Killing Formation. No one is allowed to enter without permission. Please wait here. I, Kunlun, will give you and the people of this city an explanation."
"Hold on?"
A Yuqiu monk who was among them chimed in, "It's been almost six hours since the incident. How long are you from Kunlun waiting for? You're really taking your time! If we from Yuqiu had taken action, this vicious dog would have been annihilated long ago. How could you still be complaining?"
"We didn't see you charging into battle during the Demon-Exorcist War, but now you're all cocky and cocky, acting like little rabbits to the demons, and then becoming big-tailed wolves when it comes to punishing spirit beasts." Qin Feng sneered, "Yuqiu truly lives up to its reputation."
"you!"
"Stand back."
A rather majestic voice came from the flying phoenix high above, "Don't be rude."
Monk Yuqiu stepped back slightly, still with an expression of defiance on his face.
"If he hadn't been so rude, you should have come out earlier," Qin Feng muttered to himself, "I've seen enough of the excitement."
Fang Zhiming pulled him aside and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Two beautiful fairies walked out side by side from Feiluan, their white hands as white as jade, and gently lifted the curtain of the carriage.
A man walked out, eight feet tall, graceful, dressed in a white shirt with gold thread. Although he had a calm demeanor, his eyes were sparkling with brilliance.
He covered his face with a veil and walked slowly. After stopping at the front of the car, he looked down at everyone and spoke to Xu Yi, who had not yet appeared:
"Master Xu, I'm relieved that you can punish this beast. However, my descendant of the Luo family, who grew up in the mortal world, was also in Guicheng last night. He was kind by nature and had never done anything evil, but now he has been reduced to ashes. I cannot swallow this anger. I wonder if Master Xu could be flexible and hand over this dog to me so that I can personally avenge my son."
The voice was filled with spiritual energy and could be heard by everyone present.
Xu Xingxing naturally took these words into her ears. She frowned and took out the sound transmission talisman. Fang Zhiming spoke quickly, "What's wrong, Senior Sister?"
"Who is this man? And who is the second one he is talking about?"
Fang Zhiming lowered his voice, "This man is Luo Chuan, the Lord of Yuqiu. As for the "Ci'er" he mentioned... Senior Sister, I told you about him a few days ago. He's Luo Quanci, the young master of Kelai'an."
A flash of light suddenly flashed through Xu Xingxing's mind.
Luo Quanci?
Luo Quanci? !
"He was also in Guicheng last night?" Xu Xingxing's tone trembled with surprise. She seemed to have finally peeled off the hard shell and saw the bloody inside.
This matter began a month ago. A female cultivator from Kunlun disappeared inexplicably. After investigation, all clues finally pointed to Luo Quanci. However, the night before Kunlun was about to sneak into Luo Mansion to investigate, a mid-level monster caused trouble nearby. When people went to chase it, they were led into a cave a hundred miles away.
The body of the missing female cultivator was found in this cave.
After the autopsy, it was found that this female nun had been tortured in her lifetime, and the cruelty of the torture was truly appalling.
There were no fingers left, the skin below the waist was completely peeled off, there were countless burn and knife marks on the upper body, and half of the nipple was bitten off.
The monster was captured and tortured several times, but its words remained vague and incomprehensible. After forcibly entering its sea of consciousness, it was discovered that its memory had been wiped.
A few days later, the Kunlun monk found another opportunity to sneak into Luo Mansion, but not only did he lose all clues, even Luo Quanci disappeared.
At that time, Xu Xingxing was outside looking for spiritual beasts. Fang Zhiming specifically sent a message to her, reminding her to be careful outside. He said that as the investigation deepened, Kunlun found several more tortured corpses, both male and female, but all of them were beautiful without exception.
And every time the Kunlun monks were about to find some useful information, they would be disrupted by unexpected events.
Fang Zhiming answered honestly, "Probably... His father, Luo Yuancheng, is here, clamoring for revenge."
At this point, he sighed again: "No wonder our fellow disciples searched the capital city from top to bottom and couldn't find him. We never thought he would hide here..."
…
Xu Xingxing stopped talking, and she couldn't hear what Fang Zhiming said next.
Just like sunlight dispersing thick fog, she finally caught a glimpse of her surroundings, but what she saw was pain, blood, and unseen filth.
Whenever Xiao Ran mentioned that he wanted to be her spirit beast, Xiao Hei's eyes would reveal an undisguised murderous intent. Therefore, although she didn't know the whole story of why Xiao Hei almost killed Xiao Ran, she could guess a little.
This matter is different.
Although Xiao Hei is vindictive and unruly, he is not crazy enough to destroy a city for no reason just because he is walking on the street.
So he must have encountered something.
Why did he lose his mind?
Why was the right ear broken?
Why is she wearing red?
At the beginning, she only looked at the result of Xiao Hei destroying the city, and deliberately chose to turn a blind eye to what he had experienced.
But now, after she learned that Luo Quanci was in the city, her head kept buzzing, as if she had accidentally touched something.
The corpses were both male and female, but they were all beautiful without exception.
She looked up at Xiao Hei's captivating face. Even though it was now stained with blood, it was still as stunning as ever.
If Luo Quanci saw Xiao Hei, would he let him go?
Although Xiao Hei's martial arts skills are quite powerful, the Lord of Yuqiu is Luo Quanci's ancestor. Can Xiao Hei really escape from his hands?
She didn't dare to think about it.
She suddenly understood why Xiao Hei kept silent.
Who can say such a thing casually?
Who can remain calm after such an incident?
Then how should she ask to confirm all these speculations?
She couldn't say it directly. Xiao Hei was already resistant to care, and she couldn't casually open his wounds.
She thought about it for a while and came up with a plan.
Then he laughed dryly twice and said to the sound transmission note in his hand: "Luo Quanci, I have met him before, and he even invited me to visit his house."
Fang Zhiming was surprised: "Ah? Senior Sister——"
The voice was suddenly cut off, because the sound transmission talisman was tightly held in the hand of a person. The person stared at her with a sinister and terrifying gaze, glowing red. Spiritual energy surged around him, and he looked mad. His broken voice rang out, each word filled with blood and energy: "He, invited you?"
Without waiting for her to answer, Xiao Hei tightened his grip on her hand, causing her pain. "Did you agree to this? Will you follow him into the mansion? Did he hurt you?"
Every sentence was difficult and every word was trembling.
Now, there was no need to ask any more questions, Xu Xingxing understood everything.
She shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "No, I ignored him. I'm not familiar with him."
But Xiao Hei's expression didn't relax. He held her wrist and stared at her closely: "So he just gave up? He didn't surround you anymore? Impossible! Don't hide it from me, tell me now!"
So Luo Quanci surrounded him again.
She couldn't say any more, rushed into Xiao Hei's arms, hugged his waist with both hands, and burst into tears.
She thought of the skinned puppy. Just because of its good-looking appearance, it was imprisoned and harmed, tortured to death, and then abandoned.
Why does he always encounter such ugly things?
Why does this inexplicable suffering always befall him?
Xu Xingxing's heart ached as if someone had dug out a piece of her flesh, and for the first time, she even hated herself.
It's all her fault! It's all her fault!
Since he did something wrong, why not just lock him up in the Spirit Beast Mountain? Why do you have to drive him away?
Why do you have to avoid me?
I can’t take care of my own spirit beast, I can’t control it, and now I’m about to lose it!
It’s all her fault, it’s all her fault!
Xiao Hei was somewhat bewildered, his body trembling as he held her. He clumsily patted her back and consoled her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. He's dead. I've already killed him."
He believed her nonsense so firmly, which was full of loopholes if you thought about it carefully. He was not someone who could be fooled so easily.
Only when worries outweigh other emotions will we completely abandon all doubts and devote ourselves to filling the gap in our hearts filled with worry and concern.
So, Xiao Hei, do you care about me more than I care about you?
Her heart suddenly became fierce, and she hugged the person in front of her even tighter.
What exactly happened to you?
How did you lose your ears?
It doesn't matter anymore, it's in the past.
Today, I will protect you, no matter what the cost.
After thinking about this, her heart suddenly became happy.
She suddenly remembered what Qi Rongli had asked her before:
"The people and my family, if you were me, what choice would you make?"
She deliberately avoided this question at the time, but now that she is facing such a similar situation, she finally knows her true choice.
I will definitely protect you, even if everyone despises me, even if I become the enemy of the world, I will protect you!
*
Xu Yi still did not show up, but replied in the same voice: "I, Kunlun, will handle this matter myself, so there is no need for the Lord of Yuqiu to worry about it."
Luo Chuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Then please, Master Xu, hurry up. I want to see him reduced to ashes right here with my own eyes."
Luo Yuancheng cried out, "My son! I can't avenge you myself, and I'm filled with hatred. Once this vicious dog dies, I'll be down there with you!"
Luo Chuan frowned slightly and gave a look to the person below. After receiving the order, the man directly dragged Luo Yuancheng into the carriage.
Luo Chuan then added, "Yuan Cheng and I are from the same clan. My brother is his great-grandfather. I have always taken good care of him since he started cultivating immortality. Today, he is going through the pain of losing his son. If I was rude to him, I hope you will forgive me."
"Lord Luoqiu has cultivated himself to become an immortal, yet he still cares about future generations. He is truly a role model for our generation," Yue Baiyin said sarcastically.
To cultivate immortality and lay the foundation, one must sever one's mortal identity. The past is all in the past, and one must not bother with worldly affairs anymore. Even if one is willing to take care of something, it will usually only last for one lifetime. After sending one's parents and peers away, one will forget all worldly matters and concentrate on cultivation.
I have never seen anyone manage it so directly for so long.
No wonder Kelai'an can grow bigger and bigger.
"Excuse me." Luo Chuan only said these two words, then changed his mind and asked, "When will Sect Leader Xu make his move?"
Xu Yi looked at the two people in the formation in silence for a long time, then replied, "Wait."
"good."
After saying this, Luo Chuan really stopped talking.
After a cup of tea, Luo Chuan continued, "Could it be that Sect Leader Xu can't bear it? Then there's no need to be so embarrassed. Why don't you let me, Yu Qiu, do justice for you?"
"Give it to you, Yuqiu? Who doesn't know your Yuqiu methods? Who hasn't heard of how you, Yuqiu, practice? Are you planning to use this special spirit beast as a furnace?"
Xu Xingxing turned and stood before Xiao Hei, her hair and clothes flying. Her voice pierced through the layers of Kunlun cultivators and reached Luo Chuan's ears: "You talked about watching him turn to ashes, and you talked about avenging my son. Master Luo Qiu, I'm afraid this is the only thing you said that really came out of your heart."
"You came all the way here to take this Huo Dou for yourself, so you can absorb his skills!"
