Chapter 262 Ready to come out
Mei Qiulu was slightly stunned by these words. She turned to look at Lou He standing at the door of the east room, then looked at Li Wuxiang, and then her expression relaxed.

"It's not a big deal. I'm not ready yet. Kong Xuan's reincarnation... How did you know about this?"

Li Wuxiang wanted to speak, but the next moment he thought it would be better to give this opportunity to Lou He.

He had always been worried about Lou He, worried that he had "gone astray" and "taken a path of no return." He had previously felt that Lou He had gone further and further down a not-so-good path and was about to be unable to turn back.

But now the external evil has disappeared. This is admittedly a shock, but it can also be considered a surprise. Lou He is Lou He again. Looking at his appearance when he walked into the yard, his heart is not as cold and hard as he always said. His feelings for the Sword Sect should be much deeper than mine.

He kept silent. Lou He glanced at him and immediately said, "...Senior Sister."

After calling out, seeing that Mei Qiulu had no other reaction, he continued: "Speaking of which, I met her by chance. These days I have been staying in the True Form Sect--"

Time was running out, so Lou He only used a few sentences to talk about his experience in the True Form Sect. It was obvious that he had thought it over and found a reasonable excuse to explain how he gained trust without causing Mei Qiulu to misunderstand many things. He described the foreign evil as a mysterious existence with unknown origins, and repeatedly emphasized that its strength was unfathomable and difficult to spy on.

His words worked. Mei Qiulu looked calm after hearing this. She paced a few steps in the room and said, "The person you are talking about may not be willing to help you. Now that the war has started, I don't know how many monsters want to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and get some benefits. The person you are talking about may just happen to want to use us to do something. But... nevermind, I'll give it a try. Go see her."

She lifted the door curtain and walked into the west room, and Li Wuxiang and Lou He followed her in.

Mei Qiulu didn't look young, and her looks were certainly not that of a fairy, but that was why the panic-stricken look on Sun Caifeng's face suddenly disappeared when she saw her.

Mei Qiulu looked at her child with a smile, praised her a few words first, then frowned slightly, changed the subject, and said something like there was something wrong with the child and that she should perform a ritual for her.

Just now, he spent only a very short time asking Lou He about Sun Caifeng and the baby, but now he talked to Sun Caifeng and chatted about family matters for almost a quarter of an hour.

Li Wuxiang turned to look at Lou He, thinking that he would be anxious and think that Mei Qiulu wasted time. But what he saw was a look of great regret on his face - standing at the door, his eyes were not on Sun Caifeng, but on Mei Qiulu.

He knew that Lou He's thoughts were probably similar to his own.

Such a Sword Sect Nascent Soul, a deity, has to borrow the child of an ordinary person to do things, and has to use some words to appease people's hearts like a fortune teller in the market... Li Wuxiang is not sure whether he will still have such soft feelings towards "mortals" in his heart after he has cultivated to the level of Mei Qiulu.

After a while, Sun Caifeng finally handed the baby to Mei Qiulu eagerly. She held the child and rocked and coaxed the child gently, then went to the east room.

The two men closed the door behind her, and she put the child on the bed and took two steps back to stand still.

Li Wuxiang originally thought that her method would be to burn incense, bathe or perform rituals, but when he saw Mei Qiulu take a deep breath, a flash of sword light appeared at her fingertips.

Before he could react, Mei Qiulu had already pointed her fingers at the baby, and the sword light from her fingertips broke through the air and silently hit the baby.

The child seemed to be about to fall asleep, with eyes slightly closed and mouth slightly open, and a faint milky fragrance emanating from her body. At this moment, as the sword light emitted by Mei Qiulu shot into her body, it seemed as if something in the room was broken and cut off.

At this moment, Li Wuxiang felt a little dazed, and even felt a little out of touch with the world - the voices in the yard, the sound of the wind, and the birds singing in the distance were all audible, but now they became blurry. It's not that the sounds became blurry, but that he couldn't tell the distance and size all of a sudden. It seemed that they were all ringing in his ears, and it seemed that they were all very far away. It was as if this room was completely detached from this world.
Li Wuxiang's heart skipped a beat - with the cultivation level at the peak of Nascent Soul stage, he could achieve this!

The next moment, his heart beat violently again!
Because Mei Qiulu took out another thing from her sleeve... a token!
The token was gray and square, but it seemed to be an illusion without substance. As soon as it appeared, the room was immediately enveloped by a deep and dark atmosphere, which made Li Wuxiang feel extremely depressed and even couldn't help having some discouraged and desperate thoughts.

He was familiar with this aura, like a very faint death aura. He was also familiar with this sign. Except for the different color, it was almost exactly the same as the black "life and death order" he saw in the lower world of Nether Nine Abyss. At that time, the Netherworld Messenger and the Yin-Yang Judge saw the sign and called out "Seventh Master" in unison, as if they recognized the sign but not the person. Now, the life and death order was kept in his Tianxin illusion, nurtured in the death aura. [Note 1]

...How come Senior Sister Mei also has this thing! ?

At this moment, the sword energy that Mei Qiulu had injected into the baby's body immediately emitted a golden light, driving away some of the deathly aura from around her.

Mei Qiulu threw the token in her hand, letting it hang in front of her, and then she chanted softly:

"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! "

This was also the spell that Cui Daocheng recited when he used the Life and Death Order in the lower world of You Jiuyuan. Now when Mei Qiulu recited it, it was equally effective - a faint gray mist began to rise in the room, a low humming sound began to be heard in the ears, and a hazy shadow was looming in the gray, as if it was the outline of a messenger from the underworld.

Then Mei Qiulu shouted to the baby, "Come!"

The baby suddenly opened his eyelids, and his eyes had turned pure black, looking extremely scary. She spoke almost at the same time: "...Tang Xi!"

Before, saying that this baby was the reincarnation of Kong Xuan was just a certain guess, but now after hearing her words, Li Wuxiang and Lou He immediately looked at each other - this was true!

She wanted to speak again, but Mei Qiulu immediately opened her mouth and said sternly: "Kong Xuan, I can only ask you three questions, and you can only answer three questions. You have to think carefully before you say these three questions - the first question is, how did Tang Xi from the Tiangong Sect kill you?"

The baby opened his eyes wide, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to say a lot of words, but it was extremely difficult. After a while, he only uttered five words: "Xingcha... trapped me!"

Xingcha? What is that? Li Wuxiang looked at Mei Qiulu and Lou He, and saw that they both had a slightly dazed but clear look on their faces, and he knew that they understood.

Then I heard Mei Qiulu ask again: "Why did he want to kill you?"

The baby opened his mouth, but then closed it again. He hesitated several times, as if thinking about how to make things clear in a few short words, and finally said: "Earth Fire...Running Flow...Middle Land!"

Mei Qiulu frowned, and Li Wuxiang immediately said: "Senior sister, I understand. It's what I told you before, there is underground fire under the Great Tribulation Mountain. The Tiangong Sect wants to provoke the underground fire? But the Zhenxing Sect--"

Mei Qiulu relaxed her frown and asked for the third time, "How do they want to deal with the Five Mountains Emperor?"

This time the baby did not speak immediately. Her pure black eyes moved, as if she was looking out the window, wanting to see the world again. But the baby's eyesight was not good to begin with, and the room was filled with gray fog, so she probably couldn't see anything clearly. So she could only say the last sentence: "They said... don't be afraid!"

As soon as the voice fell, the shadows that were originally vague in the gray seemed to have sensed something, and their outlines immediately became clear, crowding towards Mei Qiulu, and the slight low humming sound in her ears began to become noisy and sharp. Mei Qiulu immediately grabbed the token hanging in front of her, and then grabbed the baby's body. The gray fog suddenly dissipated, and it seemed that several hands stretched out from the void, but quickly disappeared along with the fog.

The child's expression froze, his eyes became black and white again, he looked in the direction of the three people, and fell into deep sleep again.

Mei Qiulu exhaled slowly: "It's really Kong Xuan's reincarnation. Tang Xi from the Tiangong Sect killed her with the Star Raft... There actually is such a thing." [Note 2]

Before Li Wuxiang could ask, she told him about the "Star Chariot" and thought for a moment: "The Tiangong Sect found this thing... Can this thing allow Tang Xi to kill Yang Shen? It's a great treasure."

This is easy to do. He can ask Zhao Qi to ask the Ninth Master about the power of Xingcha. The key is Kong Xuan's second sentence.

Li Wuxiang glanced at Lou He, then at Mei Qiulu: "According to what she said, it should be that the Tiangong Sect wanted to provoke the earth fire, and she was killed after she found out. The Tiangong Sect refines weapons, and is familiar with the nature of fire, so it's not surprising that they want to do this, but why did they do this?"

"There's no need to delve into the reasons." Lou He said, "Everyone has their own plans. We should think that their actions are strange. Li Wuxiang, you said that once the underground fire of Dajie Mountain erupts, it may destroy the world. The Five Mountains Emperor will not sit idly by, but Kong Xuan said they are not afraid. Why are they not afraid? Is it because they want to invite Taiyi True Spirit on the mountain? But if Taiyi True Spirit comes down and finds out what Tiangong Sect is doing, I'm afraid he will be more anxious to kill them than the Five Mountains Emperor."

Mei Qiulu nodded: "That makes sense. The Great Emperor was suppressed, but if the true spirit really remained in the world and was really invited down, it would be like this. It shouldn't rely on the Star Chariot. Even someone with the cultivation level of Kong Xuan could escape from the Star Chariot and be reborn, not to mention the Hedao of the Xuan Sect and the true spirits of the Five Mountains Emperors."

Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Senior Sister, do you think Kong Xuan is smart? I'm not talking about her temperament, is she?"

"Since you are the leader, you can't be stupid. Even if you were blinded by your nature in the past, you should be sober now that you have died once, otherwise you wouldn't have asked that Madam Sun to come to us."

"Well, I think there's something fishy about the words 'Running Flowing Land'." Li Wuxiang said slowly, "The underground fire she mentioned should be the underground fire of Dajie Mountain. The Tiangong Sect must not have wanted to do this on a whim, but must have been preparing for many years."

"They may not know what consequences the Great Tribulation Mountain Fire eruption will bring, but since they have been preparing for so many years, they should at least know how it will erupt. Yes, it should erupt, not flow... not to mention the flow in the middle of the land. Kong Xuan thought for a long time when she said the second sentence. I think she has thought these words carefully, so there is no ambiguity."

"Then... maybe someone is helping them. Using magical powers, they are making the underground fire surge instead of erupting. Because of that person's presence, they are not afraid of the true spirit of the Five Mountains Emperor descending to the world."

Mei Qiulu frowned slightly at his words. Li Wuxiang felt that if he were Mei Qiulu, he would find these words far-fetched.

But... he turned to look at Lou He. The two looked at each other, and Li Wuxiang saw the expression in his eyes that he had expected: he didn't want to think that way, but he had to think that way.

He didn't want to think that way either.

However, Mei Qiulu's words just now - "Since you are the sect leader, you can't be stupid."

Jiang Jie was not the leader of the sect, but the leader of the Donghuang Taiyi sect. It was he who kept the number of swordsmen in the world at around a hundred for the past three hundred years, and said that this made the Xuan sect more difficult to deal with.

Anyone with a bit of brains would think that this was a way to die. Senior Sister Mei had complained about this when she first met him. But Jiang Jie was the best in the world, and ordinary people would be short-sighted if they did this. But when he did this, everyone would think he had a hidden agenda.

If someone from the Tiangong Sect really came to help... and it was really as he and Lou He were thinking now, then Li Wuxiang felt that he might understand what his "deep meaning" was.

But this deep meaning is really chilling and makes people feel cold all over. What's even colder is that Li Wuxiang feels that this deep meaning can be explained clearly.

If the life and death order of You Jiuyuan was left by Jiang Jie, then the connection between him and the Netherworld Cult might be far deeper than he thought... "Seventh Master", could he be the "Seventh Master"?

If he had become the leader of the Sword Sect, and gradually worn down the Swordsmen, and slowly seized Taiyi's luck, and finally seized the authority of Taiyi's True Spirit, until now...

Who is the person who hates Taichi the most in the world?
If the Netherworld Earth Mother is a person, with human emotions, could it be it? The authority to reincarnate originally belonged to it, and it was Taiyi who took it from it.

"Senior sister." Li Wuxiang asked in a low voice, "Did you use the Life and Death Order just now?"

"Yes."

"Where did you get it, Senior Sister?"

Mei Qiulu was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while before saying, "It is one of the magic weapons of our sect, but it has not been with me for long. Without it, I would not have been able to achieve enlightenment through the Minor Tribulation Sword Sutra so quickly."

The Small Tribulation Sword Sutra requires one to overcome the Earth Tribulation. This is what Li Wuxiang learned from the classics of the Tianxin Sect. The Earth Tribulation of the Small Tribulation Sword Sutra is to erase one's name from the netherworld. Before knowing that he already had an "emptiness", Li Wuxiang was still thinking about what to do. [Note 3]

"It hasn't been long. It must have been about three hundred years, right?"

Mei Qiulu looked at him, then at Lou He: "Yes. Does this have anything to do with what happened on Dajie Mountain? Do you two know anything else?"

About three hundred years ago, Jiang Jie became the leader of the Sword Sect.

It should be Jiang Jie who gave it to her, but Mei Qiulu couldn't remember clearly. Li Wuxiang didn't know why Jiang Jie gave her this thing and helped her, but he felt that perhaps his intention was the same as the one he had used to "help" him these days.

Jiang Jie is indeed deeply involved with the Netherworld Cult... He might even be the "Seventh Master".

Therefore, Jiang Jiaozhu, with his great talent and strategy, infiltrated the enemy's rear and bided his time in the Sword Sect. Now the time has come...

Do you just want to destroy the world?
Li Wuxiang lowered his head and was silent for a while: "Senior Sister, do you know the Seventh Master?"

His expression made Mei Qiulu's face become serious. After thinking for a while, she said, "I haven't heard of it."

Li Wuxiang felt like a string in his heart had snapped, making a slight crisp sound. He smiled and said, "Then I guess it's the people from the Netherworld Cult who are interfering in the affairs of the Great Tribulation Mountain. Not only are we unlucky, but the Xuan Cult will also be in trouble."
