Chapter 233 The Source of Regret

These words made Kong Jingci's face solemn, but Li Wuxiang felt that her eyes immediately lit up.

Before she could speak, Li Wuxiang said, "In the Suhua Sect, I only trust you. If it's still possible tonight, you can go and report to your master. I'll be waiting for your reply here."

Kong Jingci immediately said, "Okay!"

She walked quickly to the door, but stopped, turned around, picked up a plain robe from the hanger, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

Kong Jingci's room was more like the cool room that Lou He had lived in in the coffin city, but it was divided into two rooms by a small arch fan. After she left, Li Wuxiang sat on a chair and turned to look at the inner room. He found Kong Jingyu sitting cross-legged on a low couch on the east side of the inner room, wearing a plain white Taoist robe. She closed her eyes and breathed very slowly, almost non-existent, giving him the feeling that she was a vegetable.

Li Wuxiang raised his hand and extinguished the candle in the air, then continued to sit in the dark.

He called Zhao Qi in a low voice in his consciousness, and after a moment, he heard Zhao Qi's voice: "What's wrong, Brother Li?"

Li Wuxiang asked: "Help me check, is Lou He still alive?"

When speaking in the mind, emotions are more obvious than when speaking with voice. Zhao Qi seemed to be stunned: "Ah? Wasn't it fine just now?"

Li Wuxiang just said, "Help me take a look."

Zhao Qi sensed something in his tone, and stopped talking and joking. He just said, "Ah...Okay, wait a minute, it's a bit strenuous for him to do that."

Li Wuxiang understood. The things in the sacred mountain were not something that could be observed at will in the living world. They seemed unpredictable and powerful, but in fact they were no better than living people.

In the sacred mountain, they cannot make friends like living people, because once they find each other, there will most likely be a fierce fight, which is more dangerous than the wandering cultivators in the martial arts world. The wisest thing to do is to hide themselves in solitude.

If you want to see the world of the living, you must either be worshipped or be missed by someone. This kind of missing must be strong enough in a special emotion or way to establish a relationship between the two and open a passage between the two worlds, just like a prisoner in solitary confinement opens a small window and can greedily take a look outside.

Lou He naturally would not worship Zhao Qi, and naturally understood that it was extremely risky to covet the things in Lingshan. But after all, they had met in Lingshan before, and he was a Qing Nang Immortal, whose physique was more susceptible to evil, so it should not be difficult for Zhao Qi to confirm whether this person was still "there".

After about ten breaths, Li Wuxiang felt his mind trembling slightly. He silently thought about Zhao Qi's name, and then he heard a voice.

"Hey, Li Wuxiang, he should still be here."

"What should it mean?"

"How can I put it? You wouldn't understand even if I told you. It's just... vague. For example, if a person is lying on the ground, how can you tell if he is alive or dead if you don't sniff his breath? Generally speaking, you can just look at others to see if they are in the world of the living. You and him are so erratic that I can't tell for sure. But I think you should still be in the world of the living. Anyway, I think you are still alive."

Li Wuxiang thought for a moment: "How does his condition compare to mine?"

"Oh, he's a little darker than you."

"Does that mean he was seriously injured?"

"I think so. But what's wrong? What happened?"

Li Wuxiang originally wanted to evade him out of habit, but suddenly realized that Zhao Qi was now also a member of the three-person team consisting of himself and Lou He. At least, he was the spokesperson for the Ninth Prince of the Demon King.

He calmed down and told the whole story.

Zhao Qi was silent for a long time, then he exclaimed: "I understand, that person is not you!"

Li Wuxiang said, “Yes.”

After a while, he said, "Oh, that person wants to take advantage of you!"

"Ah."

"Maybe they're trying to frame you! Because you're hiding something!"

"Yes."

"Is Lou He really dead?! Otherwise, why didn't he look for me? Or did he look for me or you? Or did he ask that evil spirit to possess him again?!"

"There is another possibility." Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment, "He is afraid that it was really me who did it. He is a smart man with many ideas, and he can find reasonable reasons for unreasonable things. So he neither contacted nor looked for me, but wanted to see how the situation changes. Or maybe he was seriously injured and couldn't contact us. If he was seriously injured, he would not want to look for the external evil. He would be afraid that the external evil would take advantage of his serious injury and weakness to do something."

"Li Wuxiang, you are still quick-witted. Right! What else?"

"I don't know either. I have to wait and see what Kong Jingci says. Okay, I'll withdraw first." Li Wuxiang cut off his spiritual thoughts and immersed himself in the darkness again.

The small courtyard where Kong Jingci was located was extremely quiet, but it was this very quietness that made Li Wuxiang feel very uneasy in his heart.

In his previous life, people who worked in his industry probably had two extreme situations. One was to not care at all, at least in normal times, to let the situation around them go, not to care, and to wait for "that day" to come.

Another situation is like him, extremely vigilant, like a frightened rabbit in his heart, very sensitive to any danger signals around him, ready to fight or flee at any time.

Therefore, after coming to this world, he was also very concerned about everything around him. Before going to Yulun Mountain, he was hunting the True Form Sect monks and was extremely vigilant. After going to Yulun Mountain, he had to fight Zhou Ruixin and was even more vigilant. When he met Kong Jingci and the others in Youjiuyuan, his alertness soared to the limit.

But even so, he didn't notice anyone following him.

The other party's ability is better than mine... At least in terms of concealing his whereabouts, he is better than me, the Qingnang Immortal.

He didn't even know if that person was lurking somewhere right now, when he thought everything around him was normal.

He was in the darkness, with his mouth slightly opened, his voice so quiet that only he could hear it—

"Are you a fellow disciple of the Sword Sect? You might end up making things worse by doing this. Come out and talk."

After a while, no one responded to him.

"Mei... Senior Sister?"

Still no response.

Li Wuxiang remained silent for even longer, his lips trembling as he slowly said:

"...Master Jiang?"

After waiting for a long time and still no one responded, Li Wuxiang slowly sat back on the chair.

A quarter of an hour later—much faster than he thought—there was an undisguised sound in the yard, and then the door was pushed open, and Kong Jingci walked in. The darkness in the room took her a moment to adjust, and then her eyes found Li Wuxiang.

She immediately said, "Brother, I have met Elder He, who is now in charge of the mountain. She said that our Suhua Sect agrees to whatever you propose. But there are still some things that she cannot decide, such as how and when to do it. She has just reported it to the Sect Master overnight, and the Sect Master will come here immediately after receiving the message."

Li Wuxiang was about to speak, but Kong Jingci did not give him a chance. Instead, he pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to him with both hands: "This is the fragment of the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture that our Suhua Sect has. It was just written by Elder He. She said that this is the only one she can give you right away tonight, to make sure there is nothing missing. By tomorrow, she may be able to get another six copies, and she asked me to bring them to you as well."

She said all this in one breath, and then she breathed a sigh of relief: "Elder He also said that she should come to see you in person. But tonight is busy and there are too many people around, so I can only neglect it for now."

The Suhua faction is very decisive in doing things.

Li Wuxiang took the paper and read it in the dark. This fragment of the Suhua School should be the middle paragraph, which has nothing to do with what he already has, but it should not be fake.

He smiled and nodded: "Okay. What about the Juque Sect?"

Kong Jingci sat down on the chair next to him and whispered, "Our people have been trying to find out what's going on over there. We can't tell you the details, but we know a few things."

"He is from the Juque Sect and is a disciple of Master Mou Jian. He was very angry and wanted to seek revenge on you, but was stopped. He said that his master was annihilated physically and spiritually. This method was cruel and ruthless, and it was no longer an ordinary revenge killing."

"The one who can make the decision on the mountain in Juque Sect is Great Sword Master Mou Donglie. He was also very angry, but was stopped by his three fellow apprentices. At the moment, Juque Sect may not pursue the matter for the time being. But their sect leader is also on his way. This sect leader's temperament is even more violent than Mou Donglie's. Perhaps things will change after he arrives."

"Some people from the Qianji Sect went to the Juque Sect. But the three dead were ordinary disciples, so there was no reaction. According to Elder He, the Qianji Sect has always been obedient to the Juque Sect, so sending people there probably doesn't mean anything, and it's probably just to exchange information. Because within the Qianji Sect's station, disciples are strictly prohibited from discussing this matter."

Li Wuxiang nodded and smiled again: "Both the body and the soul are destroyed, haha."

Kong Jingci said nothing and remained silent.

Then Li Wuxiang knew that he had not heard wrong just now - both body and soul were destroyed.

It must be true.

He had thought of another possibility before—all thirty-six sects had the Minor Tribulation Sword Sutra, and they could all practice it. At least, they could all practice it to the level of Golden Elixir.

Small sects like Ranshan or Tianxin Sect would not do this, because the energy consumption of practicing the Minor Tribulation Sword Sutra is much greater than that of ordinary techniques, and they do not have the East Emperor Seal like the Sword Sect, so they cannot cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage like Mei Qiulu, and can only reach the Golden Core stage at most.

The thirty-six sects' skills, after becoming an infant, are actually stronger than the Jindan of the Minor Tribulation Sword Sutra. When it reaches the peak of the Nascent Soul, it is even more undisputed. The Minor Tribulation Sword Sutra has very high requirements for qualifications. With such talents and resources, why waste them on a Jindan realm?

But it is hard to say about big sects like the Juque Sect. Maybe they will really ask their disciples to give it a try.

So he had thought before, maybe it was the Juque Sect who directed and performed it themselves? The Juque Sect's Wanjian Guizong was also a magical move. It might not be difficult for them to set up the game themselves and ask a Xiaojie Sword Sutra's Jindan realm to create a sword light similar to a flying sword.

In this way, it would be most beneficial for them to arouse the resentment of the various sects on Dajie Mountain towards the Sword Sect.

But now Kong Jingci mentioned that Mou Jinchuan was destroyed physically and mentally - not even his soul was preserved. This could also be a self-directed and self-acted play by them. However, as Zhao Qi said, Lou He seemed to have been seriously injured, or was also destroyed.

That is to say, the person who made the move really has the ability to destroy a person's body and soul.

He has this ability because he is the Qing Nang Immortal, and he can chase people's souls or resentful ghosts into the sacred mountain and devour them.

The people of the Thirty-Six Sects who had become infants and could produce Yin spirits also had this ability. But to make Lou He so scared that he temporarily stopped contacting Zhao Qi or himself, or really killed him, this was not something that the Thirty-Six Sects could do - Lou He was a swordsman before, how could he not know what a swordsman's flying sword looked like!
Li Wuxiang stood up in the darkness and put away the paper with the fragments of the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture. "Okay. I'll go see my fellow disciple now. I don't like what he did, and I still have a lot to say to him slowly."

Kong Jingci also stood up immediately and bowed silently.

Li Wuxiang escaped from the yard and no longer tried to find out who might be around him.

As he walked through the woods, he eliminated one person in his mind - Mei Qiulu.

Mei Qiulu knew his past and how he escaped from that piece of broken brick - if Zhao Kui's golden entanglement wanted to possess him, then they would die together!

She knew clearly that if she was not happy to do something, threatening to commit suicide would be useless!

Now these things made him very unhappy, so it couldn’t be Mei Qiulu, nor could it be someone from the Sword Sect.

He returned to his residence, sneaked into the room and lay on the beam.

It was agreed before in Lingshan that he would invite the evil spirit back again - but that required an appropriate reason that would not arouse its suspicion.

And now it seems that there is a reason. When he first came to Dajie Mountain, everything went smoothly, but someone did not want things to develop in the direction he wanted, so he was pushed into danger. However, this time he was not in the dark, but in the light, and could not lurk and wait for the opportunity like before.

So he will feel that he is in danger and needs help.

Then he may need external evil.

But this time, he didn't plan to take a look at what it was like as the Ninth Young Master said.

Because the enraged external evil may not be able to do anything to a demon king like the Ninth Prince, but there should be many ways to prevent him from living a peaceful and happy life. This time is just like jumping into the sea of ​​fire, once he makes a move, there is no room for turning back, so the means he is about to use must not leave himself a way out.

So Li Wuxiang began to recall the events of his past life in detail, the room - the aluminum doors and windows, the tall green painted wall panels, the person sitting opposite him, and the wisps of smoke rising from his fingers. [Note 1]

Cultivation not only makes a person physically strong, but also mentally strong. When he first came to this world, he only had some scattered memories of his past lives. But now, he can remember more and more.

Then he seemed to hear the man's voice and see the man's face clearly...

Li Si. This is the man's name, interesting, and similar to him.

He taught himself some tricks, as interesting and dangerous as his person and name.

In fact, when Mei Qiulu was talking to him about the Golden Elixir and the Nascent Soul, she had inadvertently taught him another method that could make the technique that Li Si taught him become faster and more effective.

Now is the time to use it.

No matter who is lurking in the dark, when he recalls his painful past in the future, he will realize that tonight is the source of all his regrets.
