Chapter 195 Making up for it
Kong Jingci looked up at him, his expression quite stunned: "Did you hear that? The person below was shouting... Li Wuxiang? Were they these three words?"
Li Wuxiang sighed: "Yes."
But the key question is why? Didn’t Cui Daocheng and the people of Jianzong already know that it was not them who killed Jiang Jie?
What's going on now?!
At this time, Kong Jingci reached out and touched the side. Li Wuxiang remembered that when he was possessed by the external evil and drove the underground rock layer like a god, he saw many layers in the lower world. The passage they came down now should be the one he opened at the beginning, so there are still many stone platforms and caves next to it.
Kong Jingci groped twice and found a stone platform, so he jumped over carefully: "Brother Li, we have to let them out, just in case - it looks like Li Wuxiang is fighting with someone down there."
It’s not me! It has nothing to do with me! But Li Wuxiang could only sigh and jump over: “Okay.”
Kong Jingci reached out and slapped the gourd, first took out a death pill and pinched it between her fingertips, then released Mu Tieshan's body. As soon as his body appeared on the ground, she immediately stuffed the death pill under his tongue, turned to Li Wuxiang and shouted, "Quick!"
Li Wuxiang also slapped the Xuanguang mirror, and Mu Tieshan immediately took a deep breath on the ground, then his eyes widened and he was about to cough. Kong Jingci quickly covered his mouth and whispered in his ear: "Brother, bear with it. This is death energy. There is someone next to you!"
Mou Tieshan's eyes widened again, he must have understood. He raised his hand and touched his chest, his face flushed red in an instant, then he pushed Kong Jingci's hand away, turned over and knelt on the ground, strangled his throat, and silently spat out a mouthful of blood.
After more than ten breaths, the other five were also released. Because they choked on the deathly air when they were catching their breath, almost everyone vomited blood and seemed to have suffered internal injuries.
Mou Tieshan wiped the blood from his mouth, looked around, and lowered his voice: "Are you all here?"
Several people also responded in a low voice: "Yes."
Mou Tieshan approached Li Wuxiang, and when he saw it was him, he immediately turned his head. Kong Jingci reached out and patted him in the dark: "Senior Brother Mou, I'm here."
"Where is this? What's going on? Deathly aura? Are we in the netherworld?"
"No, it's under the Nether Nine Abyss." Kong Jingci spoke very logically and explained the matter clearly in just a few words.
Several people were startled, holding their breath and listening attentively. But after wailing a few times just now, Cui Daocheng stopped shouting, and only a faint "hmm" sound could be heard, as if he was trying hard and enduring.
Mu Tieshan frowned: "It's really dead here... Weird, Junior Sister, you gave us the Death Pill?"
"Ah."
"This is strange. The death energy here is so dense. It's okay outside, but here, even if you take the death pill, you are no different from a living person. Why don't the dead souls of the Sword Sect here come out to look for us?"
"Forget it, let's go down and take a look first." Mu Tieshan paused, "No matter what the Sword Sect is doing, we will leave once we see the East Emperor Seal. Don't cause any trouble. Go back and ask the teachers to handle it."
Several people responded almost in unison: "Okay!"
Mu Tieshan turned to look at Li Wuxiang again: "Master Li, you stay here. I don't mean any other reason. It's dangerous down there."
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Okay."
The six people immediately continued to climb downwards. After they had walked down about five or six steps, Li Wuxiang jumped lightly and climbed to the other side of the vertical downward passage.
The dead air was very heavy, and this heavy not only refers to itself, but also to the fact that it had almost no buoyancy. However, Li Wuxiang was much lighter than these people after all, and there was no sound when he climbed up, while the six of them, except for the one with the highest cultivation, left a slight sound. He followed the sound slowly behind.
After walking down a distance, the color of the dead air changed, turning slightly red, as if illuminated by something below. Several people slowed down their movements and climbed down carefully for a while, and the darkness around them was dispelled - there was a whole piece of red light below!
This red light seemed to have created a small world in the midst of the anger, allowing several people to see the scene clearly.
The first thing I saw was the East Emperor Seal. It was still suspended on the top of the lonely stone pillar, half the size of a palm, but at this moment it was as bright as a shrunken sun.
It was incandescent all over and should have emitted brilliant light, but this light was suppressed by the red light... no, it was the swordsman's blood energy!
Next to it was Cui Daocheng - he was naked at the moment, with an extremely ferocious expression. Blood was oozing out from his seven orifices and every pore, turning into a thick blood energy around him. This blood energy was then stimulated by the Nascent Soul's true power and turned into blood Gang, which drove away the surrounding death energy with its extremely vigorous vitality!
Cui Daocheng's flying sword was suspended above the Donghuang Seal, with the tip of the sword pointing downwards. The tip had turned almost the same bright white as the Donghuang Seal, and it looked like it was about to pierce into the seal, but it couldn't.
He himself bent his arms and raised them up, with his hands clawing at his cervical vertebrae. His whole body was tense and trembling, as if he wanted to pull something out of his body.
Several people stopped at the edge of the blood aura. Tang Qilang looked around and frowned, "He's the only one here? Wasn't he calling Li Wuxiang before? What is this guy doing?"
Mou Tieshan put his finger to his lips and said, "Look, this blood gang is a Yuanying... This person is not Li Wuxiang, it should be Cui Daocheng from the Sword Sect. Hush. Look at his hand."
Several people looked over, and Li Wuxiang also looked over.
Cui Daocheng's ten fingers dug into the sides of his cervical vertebrae, sinking into the flesh, pressing his fingertips white. Swordsmen are best at physical training, and when they reach the level of Nascent Soul, it is not an exaggeration to say that their bodies are indestructible. If he really wanted to pull something out of his body, with his whole body tense to the point of trembling, he would probably tear his neck open with just a little force.
But now, after he put his hands behind his neck and held them there for a few breaths, he suddenly lowered his arms and punched the East Emperor Seal with all his strength. Just as his fists were about to touch the little thing, the East Emperor Seal suddenly emitted a white light, and with a bang, his fists were knocked back, and even the flying sword hanging above was pushed up an inch. Cui Daocheng almost fell off the stone platform, and when he stabilized himself, he immediately looked up to the sky and yelled again: "Ah ...
After roaring a few times, he suddenly raised his arms and grabbed his cervical vertebrae with both hands. His expression was angry and painful, and he roared: "Li Wuxiang!! Ahhhhh! Li Wuxiang! You are a scum who betrayed your teacher and ancestors! Ah!!!"
Liu Hanzhang whispered: "Is he crazy!?"
"No." Mu Tieshan shook his head, "He is hesitating. I guess he wants to do something... but that thing will cost a lot, so he is hesitating!"
"……hesitate?"
As soon as Liu Hanzhang finished speaking, Cui Daocheng's hands suddenly spread apart and his neck was torn open by him!
But what gushed out was not blood, and what was exposed was not muscle, but something dark, dark, and sparkling!
As soon as this thing was exposed, Cui Daocheng seemed to be in extreme pain, unable to make a sound. But his hands were still tearing the flesh away. With a sound like silk tearing and metal tearing, the wound extended from his cervical vertebrae to his coccyx, and the thing on his back was completely exposed.
It was a huge shell, shiny black, with five ridges and covered with dark golden spots. No one knew how it was hidden inside his body. After the shell was completely exposed, it grew bigger and bigger, expanding like a black bubble. Cui Daocheng's limbs also began to become thick and huge, changing from flesh color to dark black, also covered with spots.
Several people suddenly widened their eyes. Tang Qilang was about to gasp for air when he quickly covered his mouth and nose: "Cui Daocheng... he... he is not a human!? I have heard of this... is this true?! Is he really crazy? He is going to... take out the things he refined from his own life!? How is this different from a monster taking the inner elixir!?"
Mou Tieshan's eyes flickered, and he sighed softly: "Releasing the Netherworld Death Qi to deal with the Six Sects of Xuan Sect, this kind of thing is almost crazy... No wonder he called Li Wuxiang - I guess he hated Li Wuxiang for killing their leader Jiang, and the Sword Sect was defeated, so now he has to use the East Emperor Seal to release the souls of the Sword Sect. But now... I think he knows that he has made a huge mistake, and he has to sacrifice his own Taoism to make up for it. Look at that stone pillar!"
At first glance, the stone pillar under the East Emperor Seal had not changed much. It just stood there in the black deathly aura, motionless.
But when they looked over for the second time, they found something wrong - the death energy was rising, at least where they were currently, the death energy was climbing up little by little. So the stone pillar was not moving, which meant that it was also rising!
Mu Tieshan said in a deep voice: "No matter what that pillar is, I think it will be bad once it is pushed out. Maybe the pillar is also suppressing something. Cui Daocheng used the East Emperor Seal, and then found that the thing underneath could not be suppressed, so he planned to destroy his own Taoism to suppress it... Alas, if I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place!"
At this moment, Cui Daocheng let out a roar, and the thing behind him bulged out completely——
It looked like a huge tortoise shell, floating on top of the East Emperor Seal like a small house. He looked like he was exhausted, his limbs turned into animal shapes, his back was open, and the flesh and blood inside could be seen, while his cervical vertebrae and spine seemed to be completely gone.
He slumped on the stone platform, and the blood flowing from his wounds turned into an even more dense blood aura, almost completely suppressing the light of the East Emperor Seal and shrinking it into the seal, making it completely transparent.
Then, another Cui Daocheng stood up from his physical body - this was his Yin Spirit.
Before, his face was full of anger and pain, but now that he had forced the thing refined with his own original body out of his body, he became calm.
He stared at the Donghuang Seal for a while, then sighed and pointed his finger - the neck of his own flesh and blood on the ground immediately broke with a snap.
Several people were shocked. After a while, Liu Hanzhang whispered, "He... wants to cultivate into a ghost immortal? Why bother? He still has at least a hundred years of life left. He can--"
"He is not an ordinary ghost immortal." Mu Tieshan said in a deep voice, "The East Emperor Seal is there. He wants to pass the earth tribulation! After passing the earth tribulation and being expelled from the netherworld, he is no longer a ghost immortal but a real person. He is not in the five elements, so there is no restriction on the ghost immortal's cultivation realm to stagnate! Don't talk, just watch how he uses the East Emperor Seal. Even the teachers may not know this!"
At this time, Cui Daocheng's Yin Spirit raised his fingers again, and his flesh was immediately crushed by a huge force, and fell on the stone platform with a bang. All the blood in his body gushed out, swirling around his Yin Spirit like a red wind. Cui Daocheng raised his fingers again and pointed at the tortoise shell on the top of the East Emperor Seal, and the blood gathered and dyed the tortoise shell blood red.
The blood energy in the entire space became stronger, almost illuminating the figures of several people red, and the tortoise shell began to spin buzzing, and soon became a red phantom, suddenly wrapping the East Emperor Seal.
At this moment, the stone pillar seemed to suddenly jump higher!
Li Wuxiang was also in a trance for a moment before he realized that it was not that the stone pillar was too high, but that the moment the tortoise shell wrapped around the Eastern Emperor Seal, the death energy that had originally surged from the bottom suddenly fell back. After a moment, the stone pillar began to slowly fall, and the light of the Eastern Emperor Seal wrapped in the tortoise shell became dim, as if it was completely suppressed by the tortoise shell.
Cui Daocheng's Yin Spirit soared into the air and stood above the tortoise shell. He formed seals with his hands, held the flying sword in front of his chest, and then stepped down hard!
This step was silent, but the entire cave trembled violently. For a moment, the tortoise shell, the East Emperor Seal, the stone pillar, and Cui Daocheng's soul all became hazy, as if several overlapping shadows, and it seemed as if they were no longer in this world!
When Li Wuxiang saw his Yin Spirit instinctively inhale, he realized that he might be chanting a mantra - just now Mou Tieshan said that Cui Daocheng should want to use this seal to transcend the earth calamity, and he wanted to wait and see here, but the stone pillar was actually very far away from them, no matter what mantra he chanted, it would definitely not be heard here.
So he made up his mind and bet that Cui Daocheng's Yin spirit could not see the magical power of Ranshan's illusion - he clamped the Ranshan talisman paper in the crack of the stone and immediately escaped in.
Cui Daocheng was about to open his mouth when Li Wuxiang rushed forward a dozen steps in the illusion and hung on a hanging stalactite next to the stone pillar - this was the limit of his previous exploration.
Then he heard Cui Daocheng reciting in a low voice:
"The Netherworld opens the auspicious edict:
The Emperor of the East holds the seal and Fengdu opens its door.
The northern yin absorbs the qi, and the nine-layer cave shines brightly.
The spirit is captured without hindrance, and the soul travels through the mysterious world.
When the sea waves have settled, all the mysteries will return to the same destination.
Urgently respond to Taiyin's order! "
Then he pointed his finger at the bottom of the Eastern Emperor Seal, and a black plate that had been placed on the stone platform and stained with his flesh and blood was also pulled in front of him. Cui Daocheng's Yin Spirit shook, wrapping the black plate into his body, and his entire face immediately turned deathly gray, looking almost the same as the dead soul outside. The humming tortoise shell also suddenly stopped and slammed heavily on the stone platform.
Li Wuxiang had already heard the spell he used, and in order to avoid being noticed, he immediately jumped back to his previous position, intending to escape from the Ranshan illusion.
But at this time, the other six people also saw the sign that Cui Daocheng had taken into his body. Mu Tieshan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Youming... Cui Daocheng... He... He is a member of the Youming Cult!?"
