Chapter 217 The reason for everything
Seeing Jiang Ningxuan's increasingly rapid breathing and blushing cheeks, Ning Wuxie really wanted to hug her and walk her to the dilapidated cabin to execute her on the spot.
The three-year period has long passed, and he and she have become husband and wife, which is how it should be.
But he did not choose to be impulsive. Jiang Ningxuan is too unstable now. Her good attitude towards him may be all due to Xuan'er's memory. If a monkey disobeys her wishes and makes her feel that her face is damaged, she will really fall out. It's not impossible.
Be gentle, polite, and go at her own pace.
"Yeah." Jiang Ningxuan's voice sounded like a whisper and she said nothing.
"So, what are you going to do next?" Ning Wuxie said softly when she saw Jiang Ningxuan blushing and looking away, pursing her lips and thinking something in her mind.
"Ah... next, next..." Jiang Ningxuan was suddenly interrupted and glanced at Ning Wuxie. His words, "Who in the world will worry about you" were still in her mind.
"The Lingwu Continent has begun to recover, and you have also begun to transform into the way of heaven." Ning Wuxie helped her repeat what she just said with a doting look on her face, exclaiming how cute she was in her heart.
It's obviously Xuan'er's face, but it's not as frank and direct as Xuan'er's face... Maybe this is also the change from a child to an adult. Ning Wuxie has determined that Xuan'er's memory must be affecting her in her mind, and she herself cannot resist it.
"Oh, yes, the mainland has recovered, so I want to..." Jiang Ningxuan murmured, "I want to find the sect that cannot be named..."
She glanced at Ning Wuxie: "Anyway, I've told you everything, so the name doesn't matter anymore. This is a demonic organization called Tianxu."
"Tianxu?" Ning Wuxie was confused. He had been a Taoist disciple of the Human Sect for so long, but he had never heard such a demonic name.
Jiang Ningxuan nodded: "This demonic path is very terrifying. It does not mean that it will kill and sacrifice mortals. It never does any such dirty and bloody things."
"This Tianxu is actually a secret society composed of the top powerful people in Lingwu Continent! Some of them are from the Human Sect, some are from Confucianism, some are from the five major dynasties, or are top casual cultivators."
"They hide their identities, anonymously participate in this Tianxu organization, and control various things in this world through Tianxu. They are like Confucians in the underground world, but Confucians control the world for order, while they are purely for killing and chaos!"
Jiang Ningxuan glanced to the side, as if worried that someone would listen, and then realized that this was a small world, the safest place in the entire Lingwu Continent.
"Actually, the demonic waves that will ravage the continent every thousand years are caused by people like Tianxu!"
Ning Wuxie looked shocked, unable to believe what she heard.
An evil organization secretly composed of the world's top figures? Just to do evil?
"What are they doing for?!" Ning Wuxie was a little shocked, and for a moment, many figures of important people she had seen in her previous life appeared in her mind.
Jiang Ningxuan sighed softly and continued: "As mentioned before, the emperors stripped away the way of heaven and sealed off the Lingwu Continent. From then on, there were shackles on cultivation. This news has been basically lost now, but those powerful people who climbed to the top of the continent, and I learned this secret through some means and it gradually spread.”
"Some of them do not agree with the emperor's ideas."
"They longed for power and wanted to become the Great Emperor, but they were unable to break through because of the shackles of the world. So, these people got together and established Tianxu. Li Luobing was one of them."
"And their goal is to welcome back the way of heaven and revive the Lingwu Continent to the mythical age."
Jiang Ningxuan faced Ning Wuxie's target and said what he was thinking: "That's me."
"In my previous life, I was controlled by them and trained like a saint. I also entered the demon path from Tianxu."
"But then, I destroyed Tianxu."
Ning Wuxie was stunned again and looked at Jiang Ningxuan.
"I killed 80% of them, but because these people were all decent people on the surface, I became the so-called Demon Empress. Li Luobing was one of the few who was not caught by me."
"That's why after Tianxu was disbanded, she launched a siege against me so desperately. Of course, she has a good reputation..."
"I used to think that you were also a member of Tianxu, but I had never seen you at the Hanming Mountain headquarters. Later, Li Luobing roped you into joining the enemy and sold you. That's when I realized that it wasn't the case."
Jiang Ningxuan glanced at Ning Wuxie with some resentment: "You really listen to her." Her words were full of jealousy.
"...I believed in her too much. After all, I also wanted to become the Human Emperor at that time..."
"With your Tianxiang Charming Body, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the harvest. Have you ever practiced dual cultivation with her?!"
This sentence completely turned into a question, Jiang Ningxuan asked directly with her eyes wide open.
"No! I swear!" Ning Wuxie stood up straight in an instant, he really had no idea about this.
After looking at Ning Wuxie for a while, Jiang Ningxuan gave up.
"I believe you." She pouted her lips slightly, crossed her arms and turned back to her body.
"Why did you suddenly betray Tianxu?" Seeing that she really believed it, Ning Wuxie breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.
"Because...because I don't think it's right to do that." Jiang Ningxuan looked far away, "Although there are many bad people and a lot of pain in this world, there are also people like my parents and my grandfather."
"They are certainly not the only good people. There are countless fathers, mothers, grandparents, and their children and grandchildren in the world. They should not suffer this..."
"I have nothing. Rather than being used as a tool to realize the ambitions of a few big shots, it is better to save the vast number of people living in this world."
"Their emotions and their lives are much more real than those big shots' fantasies about climbing the strongest and becoming emperors."
Ning Wuxie looked at Jiang Ningxuan's side face. Under the reflection of the moonlight and lake water, this most beautiful face in the world was sprinkled with a layer of silver light, making it appear pure and beautiful, blurred and moving. Even though they were completely different, Ning Wuxie vaguely saw in her eyebrows the little girl standing barefoot on the slum street, sobbing and begging him to bury her grandfather.
"You are really kind." He couldn't help saying.
"Thank you." Jiang Ningxuan noticed that Ning Wuxie looked at her in a daze, her face turned red, and she nodded.
Maybe she was a little shy, so Jiang Ningxuan continued: "I was very strong at that time, the immortal spirit body gradually matured, and the way of heaven gradually approached. After killing San Tianxu, I knew that the right way could no longer tolerate me, so I simply Became the Demonic Empress."
"I thought that the main threat had been eliminated, so I started to remove the Tiandao Qi from my body. It was difficult and painful, but I still did it. I successfully stopped the Tiandao from approaching, and the recovery of Lingwu Continent was suspended. ”
"But the price was that I became extremely weak and my cultivation level was greatly reduced. Li Luobing may have found out about this through careful work, and directly launched a campaign against me... You also know the final result, she did succeed."
"Then, what's going on with us now?" Ning Wuxie pointed at himself, the mystery that had always troubled him the most.
How are they reborn?
"Of course it's the power of heaven," Jiang Ningxuan said. "When I was dying, I burned all my blood and cultivation to go back five hundred years to the beginning of everything."
"As for why it's at the beginning instead of the middle, maybe it's because... I want to see grandpa, I'm really too tired..." Jiang Ningxuan sighed, then clenched her fists and whispered: "But going back in time is only It can be measured in hundreds of years. Five hundred years ago was exactly when my grandfather passed away!"
"Think about it from another perspective, if it were a little later, wouldn't you be able to see the last side of your grandfather if you went back in time?" Ning Wuxie consoled him.
"That's right." Jiang Ningxuan sighed. She also knew that it was useless to dwell on this kind of problem.
Then she smiled sweetly, the gloom on her face swept away, and she looked at Ning Wuxie: "But it's just a coincidence that I met you."
The atmosphere died down and her face started to turn red again.
