Chapter 99 Why

Just when she was almost losing consciousness, suddenly, a hand hugged her waist.

This hand is very familiar, and the breath is familiar too, like the snow on the Kunlun Mountains, clear and clean.

Jiang Lisheng was shocked, and the messy thoughts in his mind suddenly stopped. Why? Why did Wei Qinglan turn back? She was sure that he was not unable to leave on his own.

She opened her eyes with great effort, and saw his pale face, his thin lips tightly pursed, his sharp corners clear and elegant like a painting. At this moment, his eyebrows were colder than ever before, just like his whole aura, like the snow on the Kunlun Mountains, exuding an icy aura.

She opened her mouth, blood flowing out from the corners of her mouth. The uniform of Kunlun's new disciples had already been stained with blood. "Wei, Senior Brother, you..."

She wanted to ask him, what are you doing back here? To save her? Are you crazy? But when she opened her mouth, the blood came out uncontrollably, so she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Wei Qinglan didn't look at her. His voice was cold and clear, and he spoke every word without any emotion. "Every disciple of Kunlun is my responsibility. According to the rules of Kunlun, as long as they are not unforgivable criminals, no matter if they are ordinary people or cultivators, I will not stand by and watch them die."

"It's already this late, what are the sect rules talking about..."

"All disciples of Kunlun follow the sect rules at all times. Uncle Yu sent you to Kunlun to learn. This time you enter the secret realm, you represent Kunlun and are a disciple of Kunlun." Wei Qinglan shattered the wind blade with the Xiantian Sword in his hand. "We, Kunlun, eliminate demons and defend the way, and protect the people. For thousands of years, we have eliminated demons and evil spirits for the people of the mortal world, and countless people have died, let alone you."

Jiang Lisheng wanted to say no, that's not right, Zhu Wenyin is also a disciple of Kunlun, but she can't sacrifice herself for others, many disciples can't do that. If a person doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, not to mention that a cultivator can sacrifice everything for the sake of the great way. Maybe it's true that everyone in Kunlun can sacrifice for the people of the mortal world, but it definitely doesn't include Wei Qinglan, and no one will tell him to sacrifice himself to save others. Because the great way he wants to take is different from others, if he succeeds in the great way, it will be of extraordinary significance to Kunlun and the whole world.

With a "crack", the altar was cracked by Wei Qinglan's sword. The suction of the Gate of Life and Death in the center of the altar suddenly stopped, and countless stored spiritual powers rushed out from it, rushing towards Jiang Lisheng and Wei Qinglan like a tidal wave. With a "bang", the two of them fell from mid-air to the bottom of the altar.

Jiang Lisheng felt as if her soul was split in half in an instant. The pain made her lose consciousness briefly. But after a moment, she bit the tip of her tongue to wake herself up and turned her head with difficulty to look at Wei Qinglan.

Wei Qinglan’s face turned pale and he fell to the ground, but his hands never loosened, holding her waist. She pressed him under her, and he became the one spitting out blood.

Jiang Lisheng wanted to hit him, "What a bunch of bullshit you said, I don't think any of it is right, you are Wei Qinglan, Kunlun's Wei Qinglan, do you know how precious your life is? You're wasting it like this, did your brain really get eaten by a dog?"

Wei Qinglan felt pain all over his internal organs at this moment. After being slashed by the sword, he was completely exhausted and couldn't utter a word.

Jiang Lisheng's eyes turned red with anger, "What should we do now? The two of us are really going to die together."

She had never thought that she would die together with Wei Qinglan. Even if she added up all her luck from childhood to adulthood, she would not have dared to think of this.

Wei Qinglan was calm, spitting out blood and looking at her, "If you die, then die."

"If your master were here, he would definitely feel that he raised you in vain. It would be better for my master to raise me. At least he never thought that I was his hope."

Wei Qinglan didn't say anything. Jiang Lisheng didn't have the strength to get up, so he simply lay on top of him, reaching out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and lowered his voice, "Brother Wei, you really like me, don't you?"

"No."

Seeing that he denied it, Jiang Lisheng looked into his eyes and said, "Okay, if you say it's not true, then it's not true. I do want to like you, but I can't afford it."

Wei Qinglan seemed to have no energy to respond.

Jiang Lisheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, feeling the majestic and complex spiritual power engulfing the two of them, "I think we are really finished. This altar has absorbed the spiritual power of countless people, and now it is forcing it on us as if it is angry. We will not be crushed into ashes by the thousands of swords of the formation, but we will also be killed by the explosion of so much spiritual power, right?"

Wei Qinglan groaned, he also felt countless mixed spiritual powers surging into his spiritual palace, but he could do nothing about it.

Jiang Lisheng felt better. Her spiritual palace was originally a scorched earth, and now it was thrown into chaos by the hurricane. The pain was so severe that she seemed to no longer feel the pain. The surging spiritual power poured in unimpeded, as if it was absorbed, and yet also seemed to dissipate.

She was in no mood to feel the changes in the spiritual palace. She just looked at Wei Qinglan. It seemed unnecessary to ask him whether he regretted coming back at this time. She remembered that she had a lot of things to say to him in her heart earlier. She wanted to stay with him more. Now she was satisfied, but she didn't feel happy.

She lay on him gloomily, "Brother Wei, why do you not care about life and death? I have also studied Kunlun's three thousand rules seriously, but there is not a single rule that requires Kunlun disciples to sacrifice themselves for others."

Wei Qinglan did not answer.

Jiang Lisheng didn't know whether he couldn't answer or was simply too upset to speak. She stared at him and said, "When you broke into the Buzhou Divine Realm, did you ever think that you wouldn't be able to come back? You didn't know me at that time, so I kind of believed that you weren't right."

Either he likes her, or he likes to hone himself? If one wants to achieve the great path, then he should have the tempering of not fearing death?
Jiang Lisheng had no ambition to achieve anything great. Even before her death, she could not understand Wei Qinglan at that moment and found him very difficult to understand.

Wei Qinglan suddenly reached out to cover her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "From the time you entered here until now, have you never thought about living?"

"I have thought about it." Jiang Lisheng's eyes went dark. "Who wants to die when they can live?"

"But you keep saying that there's no hope of getting out." Wei Qinglan reminded her, "Jiang Lisheng, you have no faith, no way of your own, and even death doesn't seem to be as scary as you think. Why is that?"

Jiang Lisheng was stunned by the question.

Wei Qinglan continued to cover her eyes, "Master Yu of Qingxu is good at both sword and formation cultivation, which is well known to everyone, but few people know that he is also good at divination. Master Uncle Qi of Kunlun has a feud with him because Master Uncle Qi practiced divination all his life, but once, he lost to Master Uncle Yu. Since then, he has been troubled and it has been difficult for him to make any progress in his cultivation. Back then, he had an epiphany during his cultivation, and he traveled thousands of miles to the Yanbei region of the mortal world, the land of Jizhou, to bring you back and accept you as his only direct disciple. Was it really an epiphany, or was it his divination technique? For so many years, he has never given up on you, and why?"

Jiang Lisheng opened his mouth, held it in for a while, and answered him in a low voice: "It's because he calculated wrong. He even said that he was blind."

Wei Qinglan laughed dumbly, "No, Jiang Lisheng, believe me, Uncle Yu will not make a mistake. Now that you are here, if you want us to live, we can live. If you only think about death, then we are really finished."
