Xiao Kui walked down the street with his head down and heavy steps, looking unhappy. He looked up inadvertently and saw his eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen.
Xiao Kui was stunned.
After a moment, he took two steps back with a look of surprise: "Alive, alive, alive? Corpses?" They had just finished fighting with a group of ferocious zombies. When Xiao Kui saw these two people who shouldn't be here, he was so scared that he couldn't tell the dead from the living.
Yi Xichen almost laughed, then he pulled his face back, deliberately made a ferocious look, and shouted: "Xiao Kui! I'm here to take your life!!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, unexpectedly cooperated with him for the first time, pointing his sword at Xiao Kui: "I will kill you."
Xiao Kui was actually frightened. He took two steps back and looked at Yi Xichen in horror, then at his eldest grandson Zijun, and then at Lu Ziyao.
It was Lu Ziyao who spoke up to help: "Junior Brother Xiao, it's Junior Brother Changsun and Junior Brother Yi. They just happened to be passing by here."
Gong Sundi angrily said: "What do you two want to do?"
Xiao Kui was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had been fooled, and immediately felt ashamed: "You...you!"
Yi Xichen sneered, "What evil things have you done, Senior Brother Xiao, that you are so afraid of us? If not, we would have really become powerful ghosts and would not have been able to find you." Yi Xichen always disliked Xiao Kui. If Xiao Kui had not planned to plot against him that day, the eldest grandson Zijun would not have summoned the sky fire and would not have been misunderstood by his master. Adding to the old grudges, they really added new hatred to old hatred.
Xiao Kui's face turned red and white, and he couldn't say anything to refute.
Lu Ziyao had the best temper and was always a peacemaker. He asked his eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen not to leave yet, and at the same time he persuaded Gongsun Di to stay calm, and also pulled Xiao Kui over to join them.
Lu Ziyao said, "My fellow disciples, please be patient. Since we are all gathered together today, we should talk it out first to avoid any misunderstanding. After all, we are all fellow disciples."
Before Xiao Kui, who was also from the Sword Refining Pavilion, could say anything, Gongsun Di, however, was already shaking his head with a look of frustration: "Senior Brother Lu, I've heard that you are a soft-hearted person. Every time it's your turn to patrol the mountain, you encounter disciples who violate the sect rules, and they cry and beg for mercy, but you let them go. Later, when it's my turn to patrol, it always makes it very difficult for me. Forget about those little things. Changsun Zijun and Yi Xichen killed their master, betrayed their master, and committed such a heinous crime, and you actually want to protect them?"
Each disciple who joins the sect, in addition to training, also has to take on a lot of responsibilities. The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen are in the Medicine Pavilion, and they are responsible for more chores such as sweeping and organizing. Lu Ziyao and Gongsun Di are the leading disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion and the Sword Guarding Pavilion respectively, and they often take on some responsibilities of supervising and educating other disciples. Therefore, although they belong to different pavilions, Gongsun Di still has some understanding of Lu Ziyao's temperament.
The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen were in no hurry to leave at this moment, and they said they were dissatisfied with Gongsun Di, so they kept silent and watched their internal quarrel with cold eyes.
Gongsun Di prepared to attack again: "Junior Brother Xiao! Let's take down these two evil disciples first!" He was completely disappointed with Lu Ziyao. Xiao Kui, as the third in the Refining Sword Pavilion, was also quite capable. He thought that by joining forces with Xiao Kui, they might be able to subdue the eldest grandson Zijun, and then it would not be difficult to take down Yi Xichen.
However, Xiao Kui did not respond to him.
Gongsun Di was anxious and angry: "You...you!"
Lu Ziyao was quite embarrassed by Gongsun Di's accusation: "I... Alas! I may... It's just that the murder of Elder Yao is too strange. It's not that I want to cover it up, but... Elder Yao is such a good person, it really doesn't make sense for this to happen! Anyway, let's listen to the explanation of Junior Brothers Changsun and Yi first."
"Yi Xichen is so good at sweet talk, how can we listen to him!" Gongsun Di cast his gaze towards Xiao Kui, "Junior Brother Xiao, why are you..."
Xiao Kui had an unhappy look on his face. He would never speak for Changsunzi Jun and Yi Xichen, even if he was beaten to death. If there was only Yi Xichen here, he would definitely take action without saying a word. But Changsunzi Jun... speaking objectively, he didn't believe that Changsunzi Jun killed Yao Budu. Not to mention Changsunzi Jun's personality, Yao Budu was so protective of him. Xiao Kui, as a troublemaker who always caused trouble for Changsunzi Jun and Yi Xichen, had no idea how much he had been scolded and humiliated by Yao Budu. Unless Changsunzi Jun was crazy and unconscious, it was impossible for him to kill Yao Budu.
The eldest grandson Jun was slightly angry after hearing Gongsun Di's repeated insults. The Cangyun Sword was unsheathed, and a golden light shone instantly. Lu Ziyao, Gongsun Di, and Xiao Kui all felt a strong threat and retreated. However, the eldest grandson Jun did nothing and put the sword away.
Gongsun Di quickly used his sword energy to protect himself, staring at his eldest grandson Jun in shock and anger. However, the strong sense of intimidation just now made him realize that even if the three of them really joined forces, they might not be a match for the eldest grandson Jun alone.
"I can kill you at any time," said the eldest grandson, Jun, "but I won't."
Gongsun Di was speechless for a moment. He understood what Changsun Zijun meant. Changsun Zijun disdained explanations. Strength lies in explanations. He did not take action because the innocent are innocent. But it was impossible to make Gongsun Di believe them just by this, after all, Gongsun Di had already had preconceived hostile intentions.
Yi Xichen sighed and had a headache. It was no use to continue the stalemate. He said, "Are you three brothers going to the ghost world too? If we can't come to an agreement, we'll leave first and see you later."
"Ghost world?" Xiao Kui was shocked. "What are you doing in the ghost world?"
"Looking for the Ghost King Xiao Lijun."
When Xiao Kui heard the three words "Xiao Lijun", his eyes immediately widened and the sword in the scabbard shook slightly.
Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun were both observing Xiao Kui's reaction. They had always had a tacit understanding, and after they formed a telepathic agreement, they were even more connected. They no longer needed to communicate through language, and they didn't even need to exchange glances. They could sense each other's thoughts: Xiao Kui and Xiao Lijun, it seemed, did have a connection!
Lu Ziyao observed Gongsun Di's reaction with embarrassment, and said in a negotiating tone: "It's best... to go together. The situation in Black Wind City is very unusual. I think there must be a high-level ghost cultivator who is manipulating evil ghosts to cause chaos and harm the world, so we want to go to the ghost world to capture the culprit. But that person can control so many evil ghosts, his cultivation must be very powerful. If we have a few more helpers, we brothers will work together..."
The eldest grandson, Jun, suddenly said, "Then let's go together."
Gongsun Di shouted angrily: "Lu Ziyao! You are inviting a wolf into the house! You are keeping the company of a tiger!"
The Cangyun Sword came out again, and was placed on Gongsun Di's neck at lightning speed. Gongsun Di was stunned, and before he could react, the Cangyun Sword returned to its sheath.
Gong Sundi was so depressed! What did they mean? Threatening him? No! They meant, if I want to kill you, I can kill you anytime, there is no need to follow you around and secretly frame you! But the eldest grandson Jun was so powerful that he couldn't refute it.
At this moment, everyone heard a sharp ghost cry.
Lu Ziyao said with a bitter face: "Why are you here again!"
The corpses that they had just chopped down stood up again, and corpses continued to pour out from the streets in all directions. Some of these corpses had blood all over their faces, some were missing arms and legs, and some even had no heads, which was very scary. Corpses are the bodies of dead people. They have no souls and no consciousness. They are completely controlled by people.
Everyone quickly put aside the topic and drew their swords to fight.
Although the zombies are ferocious, because they attack any living thing they see, they have no self-awareness and no spiritual power, so they are not difficult to deal with. It is not easy to hurt the disciples of the Tianjian Sect. The troublesome thing is that they are already corpses, and they cannot die again. They can get up again after being chopped down, and there is no end to it.
If it was a living person, chopping the head and stabbing the vital parts would be enough. But against a group of corpses, chopping the head and stabbing the heart would be useless, so Yi Xichen drew his sword and focused on chopping the legs of the corpses. If the legs were cut off, the corpses would not be able to stand up and could only crawl, which would slow down their speed.
While chopping the corpse, Yi Xichen asked, "Brother Lu, what is going on? Why are you two together?"
Lu Ziyao also followed his example, chopping off the legs of the corpse while explaining to him.
It turns out that after the sword competition, the disciples of Tianjian Sect also reached the time to go out and train, and they all went down the mountain. After these young disciples went down the mountain, some went to seek opportunities to stand out and become famous, while others looked for opportunities to take trials to improve their cultivation. But whether they wanted to stand out or take trials, the methods were actually the same - to kill demons and monsters.
Where are the most opportunities? Naturally, it is near the demon world, the ghost world, and the like. However, the disciples have different cultivation levels, so they choose different paths. Lu Ziyao and the other three did not come here together, but they all had similar ideas. Their cultivation levels were also considered to be relatively outstanding among the disciples of Tianjian Sect. They chose the more dangerous entrance to the ghost world, and thus met here.
Ghost cultivators are both good and evil. They become ghosts only after death. At the time of death, they often lose part of their souls, and their living souls will inevitably disappear, and their seven spirits will also be incomplete. The seven spirits control people's seven emotions and six desires. Without a few spirits, their temperaments will become very extreme. Some ghost cultivators who have lost their corpse dogs and non-poisonous spirits are cruel and violent, and enjoy killing. Such ghost cultivators must be killed. Of course, there are also ghost cultivators who only have love and desire left, and they are the fighting saints among the saints. Such ghost cultivators often die again soon, and the remaining residual spirits are all destroyed by people, and they are completely eliminated between heaven and earth.
The way of ghost cultivation is different from that of humans. High-level ghost cultivation can directly control low-level ghost cultivation. However, the corpse is a corpse with no soul left. It is the lowest of the lowest and can be controlled by ghost cultivators at will. Therefore, if a powerful ghost cultivator becomes a high-level ghost cultivator, the harm will be great.
The eldest grandson Jun was chopping the legs of the corpses while silently observing Xiao Kui.
Xiao Kui also joined the others in killing the corpses. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice anything unusual about him. However, if you looked closely, you would see that everyone else was fighting the corpses, only Xiao Kui couldn't be considered to be fighting, it could only be considered a one-sided attack - those corpses attacked other living people, but did not actively attack Xiao Kui!
Xiao Kui turned around and met the gaze of his eldest grandson Jun. He was shocked to find that he was looking at him.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, did not intend to reveal his identity, so he said lightly, "Be careful." and temporarily withdrew his gaze.
Xiao Kui was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on his face and a light blush on his face.
Yi Xichen suddenly said, "Stop fighting." He took out a few Qi-hiding talismans, stuck one on his forehead, and threw them to everyone, "These vicious corpses are not targeting us, so let's see what they want to do."
Lu Ziyao thought it made sense, so he put one on his forehead.
Xiao Kui and his eldest grandson Zijun also followed suit.
Gongsun Di was extremely unhappy, but he still put up the talisman.
After everyone calmed down, the ferocious corpses stopped attacking them and staggered away in another direction.
