Chapter 288 My Last Name is Mei
The master of Zhaoye Mountain stood there and smiled at him, but gave him an answer he did not expect.
"It seems that Brother Mei has sensed my purpose of stopping here. But please rest assured, Brother Mei, I am not stopping here because I don't want to help Brother Mei." The owner of Zhaoye Mountain said, "I just want Brother Mei to know that even if there is no reward, I still want to help Brother Mei, that's all."
Ning Mingmei: ...
A drop of cold sweat fell on Ning Mingmei's forehead. He said, "You still need some compensation. We are not familiar with each other."
"Rewards are easy to give, but favors are hard to repay. I just hope that Brother Mei will be willing to give me a little more favor when I need it in the future." The Master of Zhaoye Mountain said, and he had already drawn the sword from his waist. "The road in the world is dangerous, I hope Brother Mei will take good care of himself."
After saying that, he went towards the battle between the two sides. Ning Mingmei was about to catch up with him and speak when Ying Jiu's voice came to his ears: "Found it!"
"She is in Minghui Hall, in Minghui Hall at Changle Gate!"
Ning Mingmei took one last look at the back of the master of Zhaoye Mountain and turned to Minghui Hall. The ear responded with a voice: "Your new friend really loves you deeply."
"Deep friendship? It's more like forced buying and selling." Ning Mingmei said, "I don't like owing favors to others."
Ying Jiu: "Really? Why were you so confident when you owed Yinbing Pavilion money?"
"Money is not a favor."
It doesn't matter. Ning Mingmei thought, since it was Merlin who owed the master of Zhaoye Mountain a favor, what did it have to do with Lian Chengyue and Ning Mingmei?
…
"You have nothing to do here, so go out." Shuinong said.
"This..." The female disciple of Changle Sect named Lu Yu glanced at Zhen Dong.
"You go down." Zhen Dong whispered.
Green Jade carries a sword. She should have turned around and left, but she couldn't help but turn around and say, "Deputy Sect Master, now the Immortal Sect and the Demon Sect are fighting in our Changle Sect. It wasn't our disciples who started it first! You should immediately organize the disciples and get them out of the fighting to protect themselves, instead of getting involved in this war that doesn't belong to you..."
"Let me go on!" Zhen Dong said.
Lu Yu looked at Zhen Dong in disbelief. At that moment, she seemed not to recognize her deputy leader. Shuinong looked at them with interest and said to Luyu, "Your deputy sect leader knows more about current affairs than you do."
Lu Yu didn't speak for a long time. Finally, she bit her lip and went down. Before leaving, she said, "Deputy Sect Leader, I believe you are thinking about us."
Zhen Dong looked at her back and felt that his off-hand sword, which was usually very useful, now looked so dazzling.
Over there, Shuinong was standing on a high place, looking at the sea of fire at Changle Gate. She said to Zhen Dong beside her: "You did a good job. The Demon Lord will be very happy to see this scene. When it's over, we will take you to the Demon Realm."
"Thank you, General Shui." Zhen Dong said with a smile.
She stood humbly behind Shuinong, but her fingers were twisting in the dark like a dying spider. Obviously, she didn't expect that she would be intercepted by Shuinong's men at the secret passage leading to the back mountain.
"What a coincidence. The war broke out, but you didn't come here to join us. Instead, you seemed to be heading in another direction. If I hadn't happened to meet you, you might have been affected by the war." Shuinong suddenly said, "It's a good thing we met, Zhendong, you're lucky."
"…The incident happened suddenly. Those disciples from the immortal sect suddenly broke in. I didn't expect that the war would start tonight." Zhen Dong said.
Along the way, she witnessed the deaths of countless Changle Sect disciples. Caught between the furious disciples of the immortal sect and the bloodthirsty demons, the furnaces and cauldrons are nothing more than weak cannon fodder even if they practice new skills.
"But it's really strange. You're the only one here." Shuinong asked, "Where did Wanxia go?"
"My sister said she had something to do and she never came back an hour ago." Zhen Dong responded, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "General Shui, I will send someone to find out where my sister is--"
Just as she was about to reach out to greet someone, her wrist was grabbed by someone next to Shuinong. Zhendong met Shuinong's eyes almost suddenly.
"Since your sister is not here, you should stay here even more. I'll send someone to find Wan Xia." Shuinong looked at her, smiling, "You, your sister, and Lin Sang. Now that things have happened suddenly, it's best if the three of you are here."
It was at this glance that Zhendong suddenly understood that Shuinong might not care about Wanxia's life or death!
But she would never let her, Wanxia and Linsang go, no matter if they were alive or dead... They had only one path from beginning to end, which was to become chess pieces on her Shuinong chessboard!
Just as her thoughts were racing, a woman wearing a white veil flew towards her. Shuinong walked towards the woman and the two exchanged battle reports.
Zhen Dong's mind turned for a moment, and his fingers clenched the black crystal in his sleeve - if Ning Mingmei was here, he would be able to tell at a glance that this black crystal and the colorful crystal he saw in Yifeng Tower seemed to be from the same school. But its color is extremely pure, and also extremely terrifying - like an abyss that once a person stares into it, they can never climb out of.
These crystals have a collective name, called "wheels".
All the "wheels" were extracted from a pool of water in the Changle gated area at the back mountain. The bottom of the pool is black mud. This piece of mud greedily demands human souls, and according to the seven emotions and eight sufferings in the human souls, it uses different techniques to precipitate crystals of different colors.
Blue crystals make people feel the purest sadness, red crystals make people feel intense anger, pink crystals arouse the user's sexual desire, and gold crystals make people feel joyful... Among them, there are three very special types of crystals, one of which is white, which can make people feel extremely happy as if they are in heaven. Zhen Dong once asked a disciple of Changle Sect to try it. After using this crystal, the disciple claimed that he had reached the real heaven. The other is the black crystal used by Zhendong, which can enable mortals who have never practiced to possess extremely powerful powers.
The last special type of crystal is transparent crystal. Zhen Dong originally had a hunch that it would have the same effect as the white crystals - after all, when he had previously experimented with crystals from white to transparent stages, the lighter the color of the crystals, the greater the sense of happiness it brought to the disciples. However, after trying the transparent crystal on his disciples, Zhen Dong did not get any answer - because those disciples either lost their souls after using it, or chose to commit suicide.
All the above information was discovered by Zhen Dong from the notes of the former sect leader. The former sect leader called the people who taught him this series of spells "a mob", and secretly made many improvements to it, even coming up with a way to use Changle Sect's disciples to "feed" the pool of water. Zhen Dong finally understood where those disciples of Changle Sect who seemed to be demented or had no souls after death had gone - they were all buried beside the pond.
However, this did not affect Wanxia and Zhendong's use of the lake after they came to power. Xifeng beside Lin Sang is the product of multiple uses of black crystals. He became very strong, but was always invaded by pain. Vine-like spots grew all over his body and his mental state was unstable. Therefore, Zhendong only practiced the other cultivation spells left by the former sect master in his notes, but never used this black crystal.
Sometimes, she looked at the black crystal and felt that it was like a key to the gate of hell.
However, when facing the demon Shuinong, even Wanxia, who wanted to join the demon sect, tacitly kept the secret of the back mountain with them. Wanxia wanted to keep her secrets to herself and make herself a more useful sword. Zhen Dong wanted to use the secret of the mob as a deeper trump card.
Now, after Wanxia's death, Zhendong felt for the first time that she should thank Wanxia - today was obviously the moment of fate's decision, and she could only use this backup plan.
Shuinong's laughter came from the other side: "Okay! Then let me go meet them! As for Bailing, go find out where Wanxia is. Chiyan, you go look after Zhendong."
"Yes!" said the woman wearing a white veil.
"Oh, right." Shuinongru said as if thinking of something, "Call the guy named Xifeng as well. He is guarding the disciples of Changle Sect, right? We are here to help Changle Sect, we can't let them not participate!"
Seeing the two people flying out one after the other, Chi Yan was about to turn around and return. Zhen Dong knew that he no longer had time to hesitate.
Zhen Dong shook out the black crystal called "Black Wheel" from his sleeve. She paused for a moment, still only eating half of the crystal. Almost at the moment the crystal was swallowed, a dark evil aura rose from her body. Her eyes also turned golden at that moment.
"you……"
Chi Yan wanted to attack, but his palm softened just before hitting Zhen Dong's body, and it twisted like a lump of noodles. The black evil spirit seemed to have some special power. It could distort everything in the world and make everyone who came into contact with it wail in pain.
It was like there were millions of heads screaming in my ears. For the first time, Zhendong knew what it felt like to use a black wheel. Before the two demons around her attacked, she stretched out her two palms and pushed them with the Wuhezhong technique. The two fell to the ground in an instant, howling in pain.
"This is the first time I know that this black wheel is so useful! It is much more useful than the other skills given by Wuhezhong..."
Zhendong was filled with joy. She found that the power of the black wheel seemed to be able to be integrated into all the skills and moves. No matter if they are sword practitioners, talisman practitioners, or fist practitioners, their skills can all be superimposed with this demonic power.
"Forget it, we can't stay here for long!"
But at that moment, she heard a sharp whistling sound in her ears - it was actually a long silk ribbon, pulling towards Zhendong.
It’s Bailing!
The silk ribbon touched Zhendong's shoulder, but it was still just a little short. Zhen Dong didn't expect Bai Ling to make a surprise attack. She had some doubts in her heart, but she decisively reached out and killed the two guards who were chasing her. Without hesitation, she left towards the back mountain.
"Found you!" Bai Ling said.
--turn up? What did you find?
The demon guards followed Bai Ling and chased in the direction of Zhen Dong. After a long time, someone finally came out from the bushes.
"Very good, they went with Zhendong." The man said to himself, "Now... it's time to leave."
He took a last look in the direction of Xifeng, and in the distance, he saw many familiar figures, including Xifeng, Luyu, Hongli... and many others, whom he met in Changle Gate and with whom he had entrusted his trust.
But in the end, he just held on to the wheelchair handle tightly. The wind blew open the hem of his robe, and on his legs, which had not seen the sun for a long time, there were actually marks like black vines.
Soon, he pushed the wheelchair and slowly left the place.
Behind him, all that was left was the battlefield of Changle Gate littered with corpses and the bloody setting sun hanging behind him.
At the same moment, an arrow pierced Hongli's chest. The girl was still roaring as she was dying, and was about to stab the knife in her hand into the chest of the enemy.
The moment she was shot by the arrow, she was dazed at first. Because my body suddenly couldn't move forward. She pulled her body and tried to take two steps forward, only to see that her heart had been shot through.
Finally, she slowly fell to the ground.
"We can't go on like this!" Qunqing looked at Hongli's body and shouted to Luyu heartbreakingly, "We can't go on like this!"
But who are we waiting for? Who else will come? Green Jade holds the sword. She heard someone shouting behind her: "Whose arrow is that? Avenge Hongli!"
No, it doesn't matter whose arrow it was. Whether it is the arrows from the immortals or the arrows from the demons. In this war, no one cares about the life and death of a few cauldrons. They have simply moved to a different place and are fighting the same war that they have been fighting for thousands of years.
And what about Wanxia? Where is Zhendong? Where is Lin Sang? When will they come? When will they come... to rescue them?
"No, we can't go on like this!" Before Lu Yu could speak, she heard another voice in the crowd, "Kill the Immortal Sect! For revenge!"
"Kill the Immortal Sect! For revenge!"
"Do you remember the magic formula the Sect Master gave us?" someone shouted, "Even if we can't kill them, we can die with them!"
"That's right, using the method of self-destruction..."
At that moment, Lu Yu turned around suddenly. She wanted to say something, but all she saw were the excited faces of the crowd. At this moment, she heard the voice of the senior brother in front of her: "It's over, it's really over."
In the distance, a woman's figure appeared among the many people from the immortal sect. Someone shouted, "That's Jiang Ying from the Qingji Sect!"
"Why is Jiang Ying from the Qingji Sect here... Oh! The deceased Le Han was also considered a disciple of hers. She must be here for revenge!"
"There's no other way! Let's die together!" Someone else shouted, "Go up and blow yourself up, and die with them!"
"Self-destruct!"
"That's right! Let's blow ourselves up together!"
Many furnaces were already roaring and rushing forward. In such an environment, no one listens to what others are saying. The tremendous pressure has made everyone blood-thirsty. No one wants to be crushed like the people around them and die like an ant. Just when Lu Yu drew out his sword and felt that he should say something but didn't know what to say, suddenly, a white feather arrow shot into the sky!
The crowd was surging and crowded, but the white-feather arrow hit one person's chest squarely and nailed him to the wall. Lu Yu suddenly looked at the man who shot the arrow - that man was actually a young man with a pair of cat's eyes, looking cold and indifferent.
In the brief silence, a huge commotion broke out among the crowd.
"He killed our people!"
Amid the overwhelming shouts of the furnaces. The young man held the bow and said coldly: "Take a good look at this person nailed to the wall who just asked you to self-destruct?!"
"Do you know him? Is he from Changlemen? Is he Luding?"
The crowd suddenly became quiet. Lu Yu was the first to fly up and grabbed the man's sleeve to look. After a moment, she said loudly: "This person is not Lu Ding!"
"Wait, do you know him?"
"I don't know him, who is he?"
"You are being used as a tool and fool, but you don't even know it. You almost listened to him and rushed forward to die as bombs!" The young man's voice was crisp, but it had the ability to pierce through clouds and rocks. "What is happening here is a war between the demons and the immortals, and you are neither an ally of the demons nor an ally of the immortals. You are victims! It's not just the demons and the immortals who want you to die here!"
"You come here to live, not to die!"
"If you don't want to die, find a safe place to stay! Stay out of the way!"
The boy said, then turned and left. Green Jade said to Blue: "I leave this to you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she did not hesitate and caught up with the boy in front of her: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The boy glanced back at her, his cold eyes seemed to see through everything: "Are you their leader?"
"No, I'm not..." Lu Yu was suddenly speechless.
She thought of Wanxia, Zhendong, and Linsang... Where are these three people now?
"The only ones who can save you are you yourself." The young man said without blinking, "If you want to survive, use your own brain and make your own decisions. The only ones who want you to survive the most are you."
"Wait, who are you?" said Luyu.
The young man said, "My last name is Mei. You don't need to know who I am. I'm very busy now!"
"You want to go to Minghui Hall? I'll take you there!" Lu Yu suddenly understood part of it, "The disciples of Xianmen are there. If you can save them, Xianmen will know that we, Changlemen, have no intention of cooperating with the demon world!"
It was not until this moment that the boy looked at her seriously. That glance made Lu Yu a little scared.
