Chapter 218 Comforting Everyone Unexpectedly, things will change in the end...
No one expected that things would turn out like this!
Because, displayed on the star map is a formation diagram, a formation that all cultivators know but avoid as much as possible - blood sacrifice!
Sacrifice your blood and soul to summon the evil god!
What they wanted was a way to deal with the mythical beast Qilin, and the answer they deduced was actually a blood sacrifice.
Wei Mubai and the others fell silent after learning the exact result from Wei Yuan.
Could it be that the blood sacrifice method used by Ji Chang before was the correct way, but was accidentally destroyed by them?
And all this trouble made them exhausted and bruised, but in the end they just repeated Ji Chang's old path?
"No! There must be something fishy here!" Mu was the first to break the silence and firmly denied this answer.
Wei Mubai's eyes became cold and firm, and he unconsciously increased the strength with which he held Xu Hui's hand. His heart was surging and difficult to calm.
In this cycle of reincarnation, Xu Hui and Wei Muheng paid the highest price.
Xu Hui's Dao heart became unstable, and this influence would not dissipate easily due to the cycle; and Wei Muheng had even exhausted his life span to carry out deductions, and now the mark of divine punishment was deeply branded on his soul. Unless there was a great opportunity, this mark would never be erased.
All this is because of him!
At this moment, Wei Mubai's mood was extremely complicated. A storm gradually gathered in his eyes. With a desperate determination, he said in a low and firm voice, "Brother's deduction method will never go wrong!"
"No, that's not what I meant." Mu Yuan noticed his emotional fluctuations and quickly clarified, "Although Ji Chang also used the blood sacrifice method, our purpose and results must be very different from his."
"That's right. Ji Chang is a casual cultivator without any foundation. Even if he joins the casual cultivator alliance, he won't have much sense of belonging. He has lost the most basic humanity and conscience in repeated cycles. His blood sacrifice is purely to satisfy his personal selfish desires, and we must stop it. I have seen the blood sacrifice formation deduced by Brother Wei. It is very strange. It seems to be summoning a specific evil cultivator. It is different from what I have seen before." Lei Xiao said.
"Perhaps this evil god himself is the key to our turning the situation around!" Mu Yuan made a decisive judgment and turned to Xu Hui, seeking her advice. "How about you try to lure the Qilin's wisdom soul here and let us observe its reaction. Perhaps we can find some clues from it?"
"Absolutely not!" Wei Mubai objected sternly. He didn't want to increase Xu Hui's psychological burden again.
However, Xu Hui nodded unexpectedly calmly, and would do anything as long as she stopped relying on Qilin's gift.
"What about the Netherworld Cold Flame?" Wan Moxiao asked hesitantly.
Mu Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "Let Qilin be eliminated. It's too dangerous. Leaving it here will only cause uncontrollable variables."
Everyone quickly assigned new tasks, abandoned the Tiangang Eight-Step Formation, and instead set up the Blood Sacrifice Formation.
This formation is relatively simple, and it is enough to have Venerable Xuanjian preside over it alone, not to mention that Senior Wei Yuan can come to assist.
As for Wan Moxiao and Haitang, they only need to escape to the entrance of the secret realm at the right time, wait for the moment when the formation is activated, and then evacuate immediately.
Although the plan was crude, they still had time to adjust and improve it. The most important thing was to verify the feasibility of the plan.
After everyone finished the discussion, there was still some time before the next reincarnation, so Wei Mubai pulled Xu Huiyuan out of the crowd without hesitation.
They arrived at a secluded spot, and Wei Mubai stared at Xu Hui. Her face was pale, as if she had lost all her vitality. Her hair had lost its luster, and her eyes were filled with deep fatigue and guilt. She stood there, as if carrying a heavy burden, which made Wei Mubai feel distressed.
He gently held her in his arms, the strength so light that it was almost negligible, as if he was afraid that the slightest force would hurt her. His voice was also so cautious, "Ah Hui."
Xu Hui closed her eyes heavily, leaning in his arms, too exhausted to even speak. "...I'm very tired. I don't know if what I did was right. Maybe I was wrong, Mu Bai. I'm so sad..."
Her voice was so soft that it was like a whisper, and it seemed that she herself didn't even know what she said.
Perhaps it wasn't that her voice was small, but that she was completely lost in deep confusion, unable to hear the sounds from the outside world or the call of her own heart.
She felt lost and at a loss, unable to tell right from wrong. She only knew that countless lives were weighing on her shoulders, forcing her to make a decision.
She wasn't a conductor, and couldn't control the direction the train would turn. Yet, she stood at the front of the train, watching it hurtle towards countless lives, mercilessly crushing them.
Countless bloody images kept playing in her mind. She felt panic and helplessness, and wanted to scream out loudly in fear: Why me? Why me?
She was just an ordinary girl, and she didn't have the ability or the mentality to bear the heavy pressure of countless deaths!
She really couldn't bear this terrible burden!
His previous calmness was nothing but a confused state of mind of having given up everything. When it really came to this moment, he was held in Wei Mubai's arms.
A cool yet powerful embrace wrapped her up, a cool, fragrant yet warm breath rushed to her nose, and only then did she dare to tremble and say a few words from her heart.
However, her words were filled with confusion and fear. She kept repeating, "Why me? Why me?"
She was unable to clearly express her fear and terror and could only let these emotions wreak havoc in her heart.
Wei Mubai hugged her tightly, trying to comfort her with his own strength. "There's no reason. Everyone is constantly making choices, no matter how big or small, whether they concern the lives of the people or just themselves. What's important is that we must be firm in our hearts and do what we want. There is no need to regret or feel burdened. What does the life and death of others have to do with you?"
His words revealed a kind of indifference and alienation, as if he had returned to the first time they met, the cold and aloof swordsman who came in the morning light and cut through the sky.
There was no warmth or tenderness in his eyes, only determination and resoluteness.
Xu Hui couldn't help but shudder and complained, "I shouldn't have known you!"
If she had not coveted the benefits left by Bu Tianzhi, she might not have met Wei Mubai, would not have been involved in the disputes between the Wei family and the male and female protagonists, and would not have had the opportunity to enter the secret realm for training, and would not have had to face such a heavy and terrible choice.
Wei Mubai's heart trembled suddenly, and his hands unconsciously hugged her tightly, with a hint of tension and trembling in his voice, "Xu Hui, I won't let you regret it! I will walk your path with you."
Wei Mubai's words were filled with unquestionable determination, and his eyes flashed with sharpness and dominance.
He stared at Xu Hui closely, and at some point, his eyes turned blood red, which made Xu Hui feel uneasy.
"Xu Hui! Don't regret it! Do you hear me?" He emphasized every word, and the determination in his tone hinted at madness, as if endless darkness was about to sweep out and swallow her madly.
Xu Hui froze, pursed her lips, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "You... have a demon in your heart?"
Wei Mubai closed his eyes, lowered his head and looked at her, gently touching his forehead to hers, and coaxed softly, "Don't leave me, okay?"
Xu Hui's dry and weak eyes suddenly condensed into tears. She choked and said, "I don't know, Mu Bai, how much longer I can hold on, I..."
She was so tired, maybe death would be like this!
Wei Mubai responded softly, and slowly stroked her face. His voice was soft and gentle, and he threatened, "I won't let you die. You can only stay by my side, no matter where you go!"
A flash of red light appeared in his eyes, which was actually a sign of being possessed by a demon!
Xu Hui opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't help but slap him: "You are crazy!"
How could he become like this? Shouldn't the male supporting character, Wei Mubai, be as cold as ice, his mind as steady as a mountain, unshakable? Why did he become like this after just a few reincarnations?
Xu Hui was anxious, and it showed on her face. She asked irritably, "What's wrong with you?" She really didn't understand why the man in front of her was so out of control?
Wasn't this man here to comfort her? Why didn't she feel any comfort at all, and had to watch him go crazy here.
Is this still her guide? He must be crazy!
Wei Mubai was completely unaware of her inner complaints. Seeing her eyes full of anxiety and restlessness, he couldn't help but sigh and blamed himself, "Did I affect you?"
"What else?" Xu Hui was almost overwhelmed by the heavy mood and could not produce any fluctuations. How could she have those emotions such as anxiety and tension? These must be caused by him!
Wei Mubai was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "As long as you don't leave, whether you are an immortal or a demon, what difference does it make!"
Xu Hui rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "You are truly sick! How could I possibly like a demon?"
From the beginning to the end, the one who captivated her at first sight was that banished immortal swordsman, okay? Who likes that kind of evil, unpredictable, moody demon?
Xu Hui wasn't a masochist. Why would she, instead of being loved by the powerful and reassuring Immortal Lord who treated her well, fall in love with a demon? Ugh, get the hell out of here!
Wei Mubai's eyes gradually gathered into a storm, and his tone became cold and hard, "So after I fell into the devil's way, you no longer like me, right?"
"Of course!" Xu Hui retorted bluntly, "Try to become a demon once, and I will definitely cancel my engagement with you."
When she herself fell into the devil, she didn't even think of relying on Wei Mubai. If he fell into the devil, he wouldn't be able to rely on her either! She, Xu Hui, was a person with principles and bottom lines.
She falls in love because she wants to become better together, not to go down in history together, bah!
Wei Mubai paused for a moment, then chuckled softly. His voice was clear and pleasant, filled with indescribable joy. "It seems I've found a cruel Taoist partner."
He shook his head slightly, and said with deep emotion, "When disaster strikes, everyone runs for their lives!"
"Of course," Xu Hui rolled her eyes and said mercilessly, "You still want me to sink with you? Dream on!"
"In that case," Wei Mubai suddenly became serious, "you don't want to see me fall into the path of evil or ghosts, right?"
"What?" Xu Hui was stunned, wondering if she had fallen into his trap again.
Wei Mubai patted her head gently, with a hint of teasing in his tone, "So, you have to live well and not make any mistakes. Otherwise, whether it is falling into the devil or dying, I will accompany you. Are you willing to do that?"
Xu Hui was dumbfounded. "Are you...acting like a spoiled child?"
Wei Mubai chuckled, with a hint of pampering in his tone, "Isn't it possible?" The voice was so light and soft that it made Xu Hui's ears numb, and her heart couldn't help but feel sore.
The burden that was originally on her shoulders seemed to be no longer so heavy now that she had someone to share it with.
After a moment of silence, Xu Hui smiled. Although it wasn't bright, it no longer seemed so powerless. "Okay!"
Isn't she lucky that someone is willing to protect her all the time?
She snuggled into Wei Mubai's arms, hugged his waist tightly, put aside her psychological burdens, and enjoyed the rare tranquility and warmth at this moment.
Wei Mubai also hugged her back tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. The atmosphere between the two gradually became warm and affectionate.
The light in his eyes flickered, and finally turned into a sigh of pity.
It was indeed he who dragged this little girl into the vortex of responsibility, so he must protect her in the best way for the rest of his life!
And this method must also be in line with her wishes!
The two of them hugged each other tightly like this until reincarnation came again!
