Chapter 242 The Killing Intent Is Coming
Chapter 242 The Killing Intent Is Coming
After hearing what she said, Mou Zhenyuan did not answer immediately, but remained silent.
Kong Xuan looked at him and whispered, "Brother, you don't want to? Brother, think about it carefully. There are two reasons why we have to do this tonight."
"First, I am thinking about you, brother. You are aware that the struggle for power in your Juque Sect is fierce, and it is all thanks to your Yang Shen cultivation that the struggle is suppressed. No one knows about what happened just now. There are still four Yang Shens in your sect, right? Elder Xu is the master of Great Sword Master Mou Donglie. I heard that he and you don't have a good relationship. As for the other three, one of them is not satisfied with your usual behavior."
“Brother, once they know that you have fallen back to the Nascent Soul stage, and Mou Donglie has produced a Yang God, Elder Xu will have two Yang Gods to help him. At that time, will you still be able to be the sect leader? Isn’t it possible that the bloodbath at the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb will happen again?”
Mou Zhenyuan raised his head abruptly: "You-you are so brave, are you threatening me?!"
Kong Xuan frowned and opened his mouth slightly, as if he was very surprised: "Brother, what are you talking about? Before, you said that you had a way to invite Taiyi True Spirit down, wasn't I the first one to stand up and support you? What else could I have in mind? I also wanted to lend this to you temporarily-"
She felt inside her sleeve and found a silk ribbon on her palm, which looked very similar to the one Kong Jingci had used before. "If you carry this Ruyi Belt with you, it will protect you from being spied on by others. I also want you to keep it for use, so that when you return to the sect, the other elders won't be able to tell how deep you are. Don't you want it?"
Mou Zhenyuan was stunned, staring at the silk ribbon without saying a word.
Kong Xuan sighed, "What I'm thinking is, now that this matter is settled, you can bring this Ruyi Belt back to your Wanjian Tomb to show your face, and then come to me and use the pair of black beads of our Suhua Sect to see if you can regain the Yang God - is there a better way than this?"
Mou Zhenyuan still didn't speak.
Kong Xuan stared at him for a while, his expression slowly turned cold: "What I just said was the first point. The first point is for your own consideration. The second point is for the sake of the thirty-six sects."
"The original intention of this Great Tribulation Alliance was to make the Thirty-Six Sects independent, rather than being vassals of the Xuanjiao or the Sword Sect. But now that Li Wuxiang is here, it looks like he's going to be the Sect Master, so aren't we making things easier for the Sword Sect? So we have to find out tonight what he and Jiang Jie are up to, so we can figure out how to deal with him and how to expel him and his master from the Great Tribulation Mountain."
"Brother, if you don't want to, then I will have to consult with Qingxiao, Qianji, and Tiangong. When the time comes, I'm afraid I will have to tell you what happened in this courtyard just now-"
Mou Zhenyuan shouted, "Alright! It's done as you said! Bring it here!"
Kong Xuan immediately narrowed his eyes and smiled, walked over and handed him the silk ribbon: "Why are you so angry? If the test is successful tonight and it is found that Jiang Jie really cannot come to the world of the living, maybe Li Wuxiang can be handed over to you for disposal."
……
The distance from Suhua's post to Li Wuxiang's residence was neither too close nor too far. If he flew through the sacred mountain like he did before, it would only take two quarters of an hour. But if he walked leisurely like a normal person, it would take almost an hour.
Now Li Wuxiang and Kong Jingci were walking neither fast nor slow - at first Kong Jingci remained silent, trying to look normal as he stayed beside Li Wuxiang.
When she walked out of the Suhua Sect's base and reached the main road, her expression immediately became sad, and she said, "Brother, I'm so sorry, our Suhua Sect--"
Li Wuxiang shook his head: "You don't need to tell me this, and it's not like the Suhua Sect is sorry for me. Sects all have to consider their own interests, and your Suhua Sect doesn't owe me anything."
Kong Jingci was stunned for a moment before he said, "My master, actually—"
"There's no need to say anything for your master. She's the leader of the Suhua Sect, so she won't consider me. At least she didn't attack me just now, right?" Li Wuxiang said this and turned to look at her, "I can let it go, you should let it go too. This kind of thing is like this... You see, a sect is like a small dynasty, with clear classes and interests first. I'm not judging your master's character, but I'm saying that a person who can become a sect leader... is like a person who could become an emperor in the past, he would not be a soft-hearted person."
Kong Jingci opened her mouth, as if she had not expected that with his temperament, he would not only not get angry, but even comfort herself. Because along the way, a thought kept coming up in her mind -
The master asked me to go with him, perhaps he wanted to use me to calm his anger.
"So no matter what kind of person she was in the past, after becoming the sect leader, her character will gradually change. If you think she was very good to you in the past, like a mother, then you don't need to think too hard about it now - even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but in fact, it will, you know? Sometimes they will just leave it aside and let it fend for itself."
Kong Jingci walked a few more steps in silence and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes.
Li Wuxiang sighed, "Forget it. You don't have to endure your sadness. Your master asked you to come to my place. She probably feels that it's hard for her to face you after what happened. Then you can stay at my place for a few days. Didn't you get along well with Zhao Yuting before? You go first. I have to take a detour to do something."
Before Kong Jingci could say anything, Li Wuxiang smiled at her, turned around, and walked into the woods beside the road.
She wanted to stop him, but the next moment she felt that she understood why - because as soon as Li Wuxiang disappeared in the forest, she felt that the grievance and sadness that she had suppressed in her heart suddenly burst out.
But she was a Jindan cultivator with a firm mind and was not easily moved by external things, so the sorrow did not make her lose her voice or composure, but only came out of her eyes, squeezing out big tears.
She looked in the direction Li Wuxiang had gone with tearful eyes, and felt very strange that such a thought would come to her mind at this time - what kind of person is he? He killed so many people last night, but now he knew to walk away so that she could cry as much as she wanted!
……
Li Wuxiang's expression changed immediately when he entered the forest. He had walked the distance patiently and calmly just now so that people at Suhua's station who might see him would know that he was not in a hurry and was calm.
But in fact, he felt very panicked!
Did the evil spirit really help just now? It turned Mou Zhenyuan, who was about to kill him, into a Nascent Soul with just two moves!? What method did it use!?
He ran through the forest, looking for a place, but couldn't find a suitable one, so he stopped in a dense forest. He squatted down and brushed away the dead leaves on the ground to reveal the soil, but found that the weeds in the soil were tangled and he couldn't write.
He immediately stood up and tried to find a slightly larger stone on which he could carve words, but after looking around, he couldn't find any.
The next moment, I slapped my head and thought, I am really a psychopath! Isn't there something in my stomach?!
He immediately took out a piece of talisman paper from his stomach, then took out a piece of charcoal, sat against the tree, and wrote on the paper: "What happened just now?"
Then he put down the paper and pen and immersed himself in the spirit mountain. After only a moment, he came back to his senses and felt that he was just in a trance.
But what he held in his hand were two pieces of talisman paper, which were covered with words.
He took a quick glance and got the general idea.
The one who did this was truly an evil outsider!
Li Guichen really got it!
The method that the external evil used to deal with Mou Zhenyuan was almost exactly the same as the one he used to help him in the Coffin City, except that this time he destroyed Mou Zhenyuan's soul and threw it into a newborn girl, while in the Coffin City, he destroyed the past and present life of that palace soldier and made him a part of himself.
In terms of summarizing things, Li Guichen's thinking is almost exactly the same as his own -
"It can be seen that the External Evil has indeed received the destiny of humanity and holds the power of the netherworld, which is no different from Donghuang Taiyi. You once guessed that the reason why Jiang Jie died was because of the Taiyi True Spirit in him. In fact, it is the External Evil in you. After today's observation, it may be true. Maybe Jiang Jie is not dead - but when you told Jiang Jie about the External Evil that day, the External Evil also took away his three souls of heaven, earth and man."
But when the external evil tried to deal with Mou Zhenyuan's Yang Shen in Lingshan, he failed the first time. Jiang Jie was so much smarter than Mou Zhenyuan, so why did he die instead?
Li Wuxiang looked down carefully again and felt that he seemed to have found the answer -
The reason why the evil outsider came to help directly this time... was because Li Guichen sold himself out.
"...It asked me to serve it devoutly and devote my body and soul, which is exactly what we wanted to do in the first place. I reluctantly agreed on the grounds that I might be killed by Mou Zhenyuan immediately. I only said one thing, and the external evil immediately entered your body - you were once entered by the external evil when you were in the lower world of You Jiuyuan, but at that time you were still conscious, but you were squeezed to another part of this skin."
"But this time when the external evil entered my body, it was different - I was reluctant before it possessed me, but as soon as it entered my skin, I immediately felt that this was as it should be, and my body and mind were complete. When it left again, I remembered what happened before. I think this should also be a kind of fate rule - the promise to the external evil, a word of yes, has created a certain fate rule and a fait accompli."
"So if this foreign evil is really Taiyi's true spirit, Jiang Jie should have worshipped it devoutly and devoted his body and soul like me. In this way, he was almost completely controlled by the foreign evil and became a living body. After all, no matter how high Jiang Jie's cultivation and vision are, they are different from yours. He was born in this world like me, and he knows that Donghuang Taiyi is the orthodox of the world. He will not be as wary of material things as you are. In this case, maybe what you said to Mou Zhenyuan just now has come true-"
"You said Jiang Jie practiced the Great Tribulation Sword Sutra. I think he might have really practiced it. Maybe he had already offered his body and mind to the Outer Evil when he was at a low level, so he could use its human destiny to practice the Great Tribulation Sword Sutra. But afterwards, my guess is that Jiang Jie became a Yang God but was not satisfied with Yang God, and wanted to spy on the human destiny itself, so the Outer Evil used you to enter the Nether Nine Abyss and expose the location of the Sword Sect."
"But this doesn't make sense. If the Outer Evil could easily send Jiang Jie into the reincarnation and destroy his consciousness, why would it use you to expose You Jiuyuan and make him besieged by the Xuanjiao? I told you before that Jiang Jie might have faked his death, but now it seems that only this speculation makes sense - Jiang Jie was not thrown into the reincarnation, but because of you, he found that the Outer Evil had ill intentions towards him, so he took the initiative to escape... Maybe he reincarnated himself."
Li Wuxiang held the two pieces of paper and clenched his fists.
He has always considered himself a smart man... and feels that his guesses about things are far more objective than those of other people in this world.
For example, he is wary of external evil, because he does not have these things where he comes from, so he will not worship them naturally like people in this world.
As for Jiang Jie, he should not be like the people of the Sword Sect, who regard him as the successor of Taiyi Sect, the orthodox one, and the savior of the Sword Sect.
He had a very good impression of Jiang Jie, but since he didn't go to the point of blind worship, he should be more objective in his view - Li Guichen seemed to be very sure that Jiang Jie's death was fake, and he was repeatedly trying to verify it... Then this was not someone else's idea, but his own!
It's just that in the past, I had been unwilling and unwilling, and unconsciously buried this speculation deep in my subconscious. But now that Li Guichen has come out, the idea hidden deep in my heart can be brought out openly and discussed.
Li Guichen... although he claims to be a man of this world, he seems to be more objective and rational than himself. He is rational enough to speculate "maliciously" about Jiang Jie, and rational enough to sacrifice himself without hesitation and give everything to the evil outside!
And his next words were also very sensible -
"...You can't look down on the people in this world. Mou Zhenyuan and Kong Xuan are both Yang Gods. If you didn't have the help of the external evil in the beginning, you might not have lived to reach their Yang God stage. This time the external evil attacked in Lingshan, but missed the first strike. It succeeded in the second strike. Although it knocked Mou Zhenyuan down to the Nascent Soul stage, a true spirit with the destiny of humanity had to use two moves to deal with the Yang Gods of thirty-six sects in Lingshan. This is already a revelation."
"Next, I guess that when you are reading these words of mine, Mou Zhenyuan and Kong Xuan must have thought of this. You must prepare immediately - today's matter is not over yet, the real killing intention may be tonight! In my current condition, I can directly invite the external evil to descend into this world, but when we originally thought of doing this, we had to do it at the Great Tribulation Alliance - at that time, we would combine the strength of the thirty-six sects, set up a forbidden magic array first, and then invite it down to control it."
"If I were to invite it down tonight, I'm afraid it would be just like the True Spirit of Guiyin Zhenjun on Yulun Mountain. Once it descends, it will be out of control. Not only me, but you too might be controlled by it. So if Mou Zhenyuan and Kong Xuan come again tonight, they will definitely not fight you in the Holy Mountain, and then I will have no choice - I asked the external evil to help just now, but tonight, you have to rely on yourself."
Li Wuxiang rubbed his hands together and turned the talisman paper into ashes, then jumped up.
Li Guichen was right, today’s incident would be disastrous!
There will be another disaster tonight... Who can I ask for help?
Damn it—he couldn’t help cursing in his heart—I don’t want to ask for help anymore! I want to become a Yang God! Yuanying is also OK!
