Chapter 95 [095] Breaking the Formation
"I'm not saying anything, Senior Sister, sometimes you should save people, and don't save everything," On the way back to Sanqing Mountain from Huangquan Valley, Chen Xiang pulled Shi Qing and said earnestly, "Look, saving men, at the very least it was Fu Chacha, at the worst it was Li XX, which one didn't end up harming the heroine inhumanely and destroying her family? And that Zhou Xiaowu, the avatar of the devil in disguise! How many things did he do? Look at the women again, Tushiling saved Liu Xitong, who is a bad guy, Huangquan Valley saved Luo Zhenyue, who is actually not a good person either, and made everyone in chaos. You have to reflect on this."
Cangying nodded: "Little Junior Sister, what you said makes sense. Even if the rules of Sanqing Mountain require everyone to fight demons and defend the way, protect the people, help those who are injustice, help others, and live in peace, you still have to be more careful."
Shi Qing: “…Understand.”
With the lessons learned from the previous incident, when you rescue someone next time, you must never reveal all your secrets to the other party.
Chen Xiang showed a teachable look and continued, "Moreover! Senior sister, you must learn to use the words and deeds of the person you rescued, the hidden meanings between their words, and to speculate and guard against him with the greatest malice!!"
Shi Qing: “…Okay.”
She listened to the advice and realized that even if it was to save people or protect lives, she could not be completely defenseless against the weak.
Because some guys just like to pretend to be weak and then give someone a fatal blow from behind.
So after rescuing Chang Zhu, the man behaved just like an ordinary weak and incompetent disciple, but Shi Qing always paid attention to his behavior and words.
Chang Zhu's reason for sticking with Shi Qing sounds flawless, as he was forced by the sect elders to participate in the competition for training. But in reality he is still timid and afraid of danger, and he dares not act alone after being attacked by a monster.
But an elder who really wants his apprentice to gain experience will never send out a guy who has no skills on weekdays after the disciple competition is changed from a duel to a demon-killing competition in the Purgatory Secret Realm.
Especially the Purgatory Secret Realm, the key barrier connecting the Demon World and the Cultivation World, is filled with monsters and is full of dangers. It is a much more dangerous place than the Monster Secret Realm. One could lose one's life if one is not careful. The elder is not so stupid.
There are many loopholes in Chang Zhu's statement.
The junior sister said that one should guess the purpose of the person being rescued with the greatest malice, so as to avoid missing out on saving a good person and also avoid being backstabbed too many times.
The reason why Chang Zhu was kept behind was, firstly, because of the sect rules of Sanqing Mountain, and secondly, if this guy really had some ulterior motive, he could be kept by his side to closely observe him and find out what he wanted to do.
Later, Xueshan found the junior sister and Mu Nianxi. The junior sister had a very sharp attitude towards Mu Nianxi.
This means that there may be something wrong with this woman.
In addition, she had not heard any conversations between her junior sister and the system recently, so Shi Qing had some vague guesses in her heart. After her junior sister took her hand and said "trust me", Shi Qing was sure that Mu Nianxi was again impersonated by the system.
Since it is a system, according to what happened at Tushiling, the system and the demon's clone teamed up, so Chang Zhu must be no simple person.
The next day, when they encountered the Red Blood Sealing Array, Zhongli Jin recognized the thing and asked Shi Qing to let it go.
After confirming that there were ferocious beasts in the snow mountain, she felt that Chang Zhu was Zhou Wu.
But the man's behavior was completely different from that of Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu's original form is a teenager, extremely eccentric, and Chang Zhu is so narcissistic and unreliable, it doesn't seem like the kind of person that teenager would pretend to be.
During the avalanche, Zhong Li Jin was grabbed by the wrist by Mu Nianxi. The boy could obviously break free, but he suddenly fainted.
Others might not have seen it, but Shi Qing saw it clearly - Chang Zhu took action.
The man shot out some kind of thin needle, which pierced Zhongli Jin's neck in the blink of an eye. The boy immediately closed his eyes and fainted in Mu Nianxi's arms.
Shi Qing remained silent, his eyes flashing slightly, and the bandage on his ankle quickly caught up with Mu Nianxi's sword in an unnoticed corner and hid in Zhongli Jin's sleeve.
*
Everything that happened later was very similar to what had been speculated before. The two of them used their old tricks again and wanted to use Zhongli Jin to do some bad things.
Shi Qing thought that they were trying to trick them into breaking the seal of the beast, but the other bandage guarding the formation disk did not move for the time being.
They confused Zhongli Jin in a psychedelic array and deliberately revealed many flaws for the young man to discover, in order to trick him into destroying the misty wall of the purple bamboo forest.
Therefore, the movements of those disciples who were chasing the young man only looked anxious, but they gave Zhongli Jin enough time to rush to the Purple Bamboo Forest. Mu Nianxi also deliberately said those words that imprisoned him, forcing the young man to act quickly in order to escape from the psychedelic array.
But they didn't expect that Zhongli Jin saw through their anxious thoughts first.
Shi Qing also controlled the bandage and left the words "break the wall" on the rice paper for the boy, and quietly added a small word "don't" in the lower right corner.
Break the wall, don't.
——Don’t break the wall.
The young man crushed the rice paper with his spiritual power, rushed out of the room, and activated the formation outside the room!
That was not a magic array used to help Zhongli Jin escape to the Purple Bamboo Forest and intercept the pursuing disciples, but a maze array targeting Mu Nianxi personally!
The maze array can allow the person trapped in the array to see what she wants most.
Mu Nianxi wants Zhongli Jin to break the wall.
Complete the breaking of the first seal of the Heavenly Demon.
So she saw Zhongli Jin doing this in the illusion array.
In fact, after activating the magic circle, Zhongli Jin returned to the hut. The center of the magic circle cannot overlap, and that is the center of the psychedelic circle!
The illusions that Mu Nianxi experienced could all be seen by the person who set up the formation, so the young man knew her purpose - to use his own hands to break the seal of the devil and force him to become a traitor to the world of cultivation.
But why would the system, expressing its love so much, even to the point of paranoia and madness, make Zhongli Jin isolated from everyone?
*
“If he breaks this seal, he will become a sinner in the entire cultivation world.” Chang Zhu said with a faint smile.
He looked at the two people with blood flowing on the ground, narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned down, and wanted to help Shi Qing wipe the blood from the corner of his lips: "I actually like you quite a bit, Shi Qing--"
But before he could finish his words, an extremely sharp sword pierced the man's heart from behind!
That position is exactly the same as the one Changzhu saw when he launched a sneak attack!
The man was stunned and his pupils shrank suddenly!
His hands turned into sharp claws and he grabbed behind him without thinking!
Shi Qing leaned back slightly to avoid the man's claws, drew out his sword, poured his spiritual power into the sword, and chopped off Changzhu's head fiercely!
The man's head and body were separated, but there was no blood splattered by the gap cut by the long sword. Only groups of evil spirits like green smoke rushed out into the sky, as if the host had left the host's body, rushed into the sky and turned into a smoke-like body!
The remaining body fell softly to the ground, and the head that fell beside it turned back to its original appearance as the monster left the body.
He was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
But he died with his eyes open.
The identity of the Taoist priest of Mount Laoshan is real, and Changzhu is staying with a Taoist friend.
Perhaps the attacking demon dog was also transformed from Changzhu's evil spirit, and after the young man's death, it used his body to stay next to Shiqing.
"You—didn't get hit?!" Changzhu changed his elegant demeanor, and a ferocious face appeared in the sky like a ball of thick fog, staring at Shi Qing intently: "The maze array?! When was it activated?!"
Shen Xiang was dressed in red, dancing wildly in the wind in the night.
The girl squinted her eyes, and her red lips were like flaming flowers, gorgeous and charming.
"Idiot." Her clear voice was filled with disdain: "You think I'm targeting you because I'm competing for your favor."
——She whispered intimately in Shi Qing's ear, and when she looked at the man provocatively, she had already told Shi Qing: "Senior Sister, the maze formation, I'm ready."
Being able to enter the system space as a spirit body, and being able to use the identity of the host to open the mall when the system is not performing its duties properly, there are still many points earned from Zhongli Jin, so it is not a problem to buy another maze array. The system that took over Mu Nianxi's body probably doesn't know that it can now freely enter and exit the system space.
Changzhu knew that he, an incarnation of the devil, was deceived by two stinky girls!
No wonder Zhou Wu told him not to underestimate the woman from Sanqing Mountain.
His expression was extremely ugly, and the face that emerged from the thick fog still revealed a bit of elegance, but as it was condensed from the black fog, it looked extremely strange.
The evil energy around suddenly rushed towards this side frantically.
The powerful pressure from the monster was like a huge mountain pressing down on the two of them!
Shi Qing gripped the sword tightly, and powerful spiritual power burst out from his body. Chang Zhu's power should belong to the tribulation, which is many times stronger than Shi Qing. Chen Xiang is only at the foundation building stage. If they collide head-on with the opponent today, their chances of winning are slim.
At this moment, the wall of the Purple Bamboo Forest suddenly seemed as if someone had completely blown it up from the inside. The powerful noise was deafening, and the momentum soared into the sky!
The psychedelic waves were broken, the scene collapsed from the inside, and those hypnotized disciples of the sect also regained consciousness one after another!
They looked at each other, and before they had time to figure out the situation, they were so shocked by the scene before them that they were speechless!
I saw an endless stream of monsters pouring in from all directions, as mighty as an army of demons!
The thick demonic energy made it difficult for the monks to breathe. Demonic energy and spiritual power naturally suppressed, devoured or purified each other, but once faced with a situation where there were more demons than spiritual power, the monks' use of spiritual power became slightly limited.
"Oh my god! The big devil!!"
"That monster in the sky...how could it have such a powerful pressure?!"
"High-level?! No... He is much stronger than a high-level one!!"
"Who invited this?! How many points?!"
"You want to score points at this hour?! Think about how you are going to survive with so many mid- and high-level monsters, as well as that super monster!!"
There were nearly a hundred monks under hypnosis, and the area covered by the psychedelic array was an entire mountain.
This magic formation was set up here early in the morning. Once Mu Nianxi captured the people and the number of cultivators who accidentally broke in was enough to build a sect, they could fully start their plan.
Among the nearly one hundred cultivators, there are only ten in the Spirit Severing stage, twenty in the Nascent Soul stage, and the rest are all in the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment stages. It is very difficult to deal with so many mid- and high-level monsters, as well as Changzhu.
"Don't just stand there! Call someone!" A fellow cultivator quickly asked the junior fellow disciple beside him to pass on a message to the senior brothers and sisters who were in the Spirit Severing Stage.
However, the Purgatory Secret Realm is so large, and most of the people there are sword cultivators. I don’t know if they can make it here.
A hundred monks are fighting against an estimated number of monsters, which is like a small battle between immortals and demons.
Zhongli Jin rushed out of the fog and looked for Shi Qing among the crowd.
Finally, at the edge of the mountain, he saw the green.
"Shi Qing!" Zhong Lijin rushed over, his dark pupils reflecting the girl's face, "Are you okay?!"
Shi Qing nodded: "Yeah."
She glanced at the boy and asked, "Where is the other one?"
Changzhu's other accomplice, where is that system?
After Zhongli Jin destroyed the core of the formation, Shi Qing took back the bandage, so he didn't know what happened next.
Zhong Lijin took a deep breath and said, "She escaped. I still don't know where the real senior sister is."
Mu Nianxi ran away. The young man suppressed his anger in his heart. Before he could ask where his real senior sister was, the woman ran away like a madman.
"Chang Zhu, taking over another's body." Shi Qing said, "Perhaps your senior sister is also one of them."
The original Laoshan disciples were possessed by Changzhu, so Mu Nianxi should be the same.
The person who takes over another body can only control that body after the original soul is annihilated.
In other words - the real Senior Sister Mu Nianxi may no longer be around.
As he finished speaking, the boy's face lost some color.
He stared at Shi Qing blankly, his breathing becoming unstable for a moment.
"It doesn't matter." Shi Qing said, "Revenge is good enough."
It doesn't matter if you lose your loved ones, as long as you can avenge them.
She looked indifferent, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
Zhongli Jin was slightly startled. From the girl's calm face and pupils, there seemed to be only indifference.
"It's okay?" Zhong Lijin murmured again: "Why can you say these three words so calmly?"
There was something odd about his tone.
Shi Qing asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." The boy said in a low voice, and smiled bitterly: "I just feel that you seem to be always so calm."
"Well," Shi Qing said, "panicking is useless."
*
Shen Xiang used the sound transmission stone to inform Liu Muzhou and Shen Yunying, and the two were on their way.
This place is close to the center of the entire Purgatory Secret Realm. It is not difficult to identify. The evil spirits all around are rushing towards the same place. Even if you follow those evil spirits, you can find the final location.
After she informed her senior brothers and sisters, she suddenly felt something coming into her mind!
Then, an extremely sharp scream sounded in my mind——[Ahhh why!!! Why was I seen through!!! I was so close to success!!]
It had been a long time since she heard the system's voice, but Shen Xiang didn't miss it. She narrowed her eyes slightly and sneered: [You really gave me a good show. ]
【Bitch!!】The system cursed.
Chen Xiang ignored him and continued: [It just so happens that after I finish dealing with things outside, I will settle the matter between us. ]
The system was stunned for a moment, then mocked: [Liquidation? What? You want to threaten me with death again? Come on, can you bear to part with your dear senior sister? I have seen through your little tricks that you have been playing all day long! ]
Chen Xiang said: [Where is the real Mu Nianxi? ]
The system sneered nonchalantly: [Her soul has long been annihilated since I possessed her body. That body is useless now, so I just found a place to throw it away. It should rot in a few days.]
[Really?] Chen Xiang lowered his voice, his eyes were extremely cold, and he said word by word: [You really deserve to die without a burial place.]
After this secret realm ends, we will enter the final chapter. In two days, the system will be offline (completely dead)~~
