"Is it, is it you? Yes, it must be, it must be you, it can't be wrong..." She stretched out her hand and murmured to herself.
This time it was Kuchuzuki-kun's turn to be confused. Following Qing Gui's finger, he glanced at Tang He, but felt that it was not in this direction. He confirmed it twice before pointing to himself.
"Huh? So you were talking about me."
Several people looked at Qinggui, and all of them felt an ominous premonition in their hearts. Shi Wuqi opened his mouth slightly and asked tentatively:
"You, the so-called benefactor you mentioned, could it be..."
"It can't be wrong, I remember his face!"
Aoki stretched out his hand tremblingly and tried to untie the red cloth strap on the mask. She, who had always been calm, panicked, and seemed to have lost all her strength. She could not untie the tightly wrapped cloth. She simply took off her mask and held it in her hands.
Exposed to the sun was half of his face that was ulcerated.
Almost everyone who saw this face gasped. It is so ugly, uneven, and as crisscrossed with ravines as this undulating mountain. The color of the skin is burnt black, and some places are very thin, with cyan blood vessels visible; some places are dark red, with accumulated old blood clots; and some places have new skin, showing a very light white color. Accumulated with polyps on the side. These complex and rich structures are all crowded together on half of a girl's face. The other half was so beautiful in comparison that they had never thought it was so amazing before.
Tang He also frowned, not hiding his disgust at all. Only Lord Xueyue's face remained calm, and he clapped his hands as if suddenly enlightened.
"Oh - I remembered, it's you! It's incredible that you are still alive! However, you do look like a living person."
"do not talk!"
Hazuki-kun snapped, even though she knew it would have little effect. In front of Lord Xueyue, such shouting would not have any deterrent effect. She knew it was futile, but it gave the victim more dignity than pleading.
I guess so.
Qinggui took two steps forward, but Ye Yuejun firmly grabbed the corner of her clothes and refused to let her pass.
"I've been looking for you... Over the years, when I couldn't hold on any longer, I always..."
"Don't, don't ask," Lord Ye Yue begged, "Please, don't ask any more."
Qinggui stopped, turned his head, and looked at her unabashedly with that contrasting face.
"Kizen Yanlai...you know, you know, you have always known, right? But you didn't tell me..."
"Hey, don't blame her." Lord Xueyue spoke to his colleagues for the first time, "After all, she is really good for you."
Aoki was a little confused.
"For my own good? But... wasn't it the one who saved me from that evil man's hands back then..."
"Ah, it seems I'm right." Lord Kutsutsuki rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, "But don't get me wrong..."
Immediately afterwards, the familiar sarcasm crept up the corner of his mouth again.
"Did I say that I was here to save you?"
The other half of Aoki's expression froze.
"Of course you..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking." Lord Xueyue took a step forward and raised a hand, "I think you did something wrong... It is true that I was hunting down the Laughing Wolf back then, but you, you didn't Not within the mission and plan.”
"But you saved me, that's the truth."
Aoki also stumbled a few steps forward, holding the mask tied with a red string in his hand.
"This is a piece of clothing that I accidentally tore off during the chaos. It should be..."
"Ah, you are indeed right," Lord Kutsutsuki interrupted her, "It's a bit annoying to say that the material of this dress is very difficult to mend, so it cost me a lot of effort. If you thank me, you should keep it in your stomach. , I never receive reward for nothing. I didn’t think about saving you at that time...I was even thinking about how long you could live. In the end...what, you are still alive and well."
The wind at the foot of the mountain blew her long hair into a mess, and the hair strands swayed between her inhuman and inhuman face. Qinggui opened his stiff mouth slightly, his voice trembling.
"B-But the evil man did receive retribution."
"Tsk, how do you want me to explain it?" He seemed troubled. "Removing harm from the people has never been my favorite thing. If I were not forced by the agreement with Yama Demon, I would not do these unnecessary things. The more evil people there are, The better - none of you are good in nature. In this world, the more chaotic the better... because you like to do things that bring trouble and reap the consequences. But you have to admit, you are indeed very good. Tenacious. At that time, I waited for you to cry out in pain and your face was dripping with blood before I attacked the Laughing Wolf. I wondered how long you could live like this... Although you were indeed living a good life, it was too boring! I I thought you would have some earth-shattering revenge on him, but in the end you just huddled in the shadows and lived an ignoble existence. How disappointing..."
"Don't talk nonsense to him—!"
Seeing Mu Wan losing her mind and about to rush forward, Shan Hai and Duan Yuesheng held her back. She continued to scream:
"What about the six realms of impermanence? He is also a bastard! He is just as useless as the person next to him! You are not worthy!"
Tang, who originally thought that the matter had nothing to do with him and just wanted to watch the show, frowned slightly. He raised his hand and said unhappily:
"There's no point in dragging me along. If you mean that you don't deserve the power of this bloodline, I want to prove it to you and see who is unworthy."
Lord Xueyue suddenly raised his hand, strangled his wrist, and said to him:
"You can deal with these things by yourself, right?"
"Tsk."
Tang He knew that this shrewd monster wanted to see how powerful he was.
Lord Kauchue took a breath, his tone was still that of an errand, lazy and informal.
"Ah... By the way, the girl next to you is quite courageous. Compared to you, she dares to love and hate more. She will hit you whenever she wants, and you will be repaid. Of course, when you don't know that you are trying your best, It's also very stupid. Then let me tell you one more thing? Did the two little girls named Yun convey a small mission to you? Oh, yes, this expression is right... That corpse, It was my new friend who killed him."
Lord Xuyue put his hand on Tang He's shoulder again. Seeing that he could no longer stop Mu Wan, Shi Wuqi moved forward to block her. But his face didn't look good. Likewise, the monster named Xun beside him also grinned, looking no different from the ferocious beasts in the mountains.
"Oh, it's very fierce. Can Mr. Tang handle it?"
"Although I want to ask you if you are underestimating me...but I still have to say that you really talk a lot."
"To each other. Ah, by the way, Liang, Liangqiu, what are you talking about? Since we have known each other for so long, I will also give you a little secret. Aren't you curious about what Qinggui Girl promised Zuo Jinmen? thing?"
Shi Wuqi suddenly turned back to look at the two people, and the others also looked away. Left door? Doesn’t Miss Zhu Tong represent the position of the Immortal Shadow Pavilion? However, there was indeed some cooperation between them. Could it be that it was actually Zuo Jinmen's commission?
"Don't you want to know where the body went? In fact, it didn't go anywhere. It is still lying in Fangchunyuan."
Mu Wan suddenly relaxed his forward momentum and turned to look at Qing Gui. She knew that she was indeed a person who was easily tempted by words, but at the same time, she also knew that this wavering was by no means a simple instigation.
"...Is this true?" Shan Hai asked her carefully.
Aoki nodded slowly, without any expression on his face. Duan Yuesheng became anxious and quickly said to them:
"Then why don't we go back now?! Don't fall into the trap of these two people. Girl, don't be stupid, they have made it clear that they are with that Cang or something monster. Hey, where is the monster?"
Although Ye Yuejun still stared at the two of them and turned her head, she still tried her best to persuade Mu Wan:
"Go back quickly, you are no match for them. Girl Qinggui, go with them and tell them where the body is!"
"No! Listen to me, don't put yourself here. It's still too late to go back to find your senior sister!"
"I'm afraid it's too late," Tang He interrupted them coldly, "She Ji from the Shadow Pavilion has taken away the woman while you were unattended. The employer has added that he wants to see the body."
Lord Xueyue teased:
"Don't you doubt your level? Alas, I even 'saved' her life from Zuo Yanmen. Unfortunately, she was not good at martial arts and died under the sword of this young master. Alas, everyone has his own destiny. Woolen cloth."
Tang He didn't say anything, just glared at him.
"What's wrong with you guys?!" Duan Yuesheng shouted angrily.
Shanhai understood it completely.
An unknown employer placed an order with the Zuoji Sect to assassinate Yan Muxue, a disciple of Xue Yan Valley, and Yun Qingzhan and Yun Qingxian were responsible. But Lord Xueyue deliberately released her from the hands of the two of them, but was intercepted by Tang He, a lone assassin who sincerely wanted to fight against Mu Wan and others. Zhu Tong released multiple lines of information, and only asked the Yun sisters, who were friends, to pass on a request to Qinggui, asking her to pretend that the body was stolen in exchange for meeting the "benefactor", and nothing else. And when they were in a panic, they didn't know what the deal was with the egret demon Cang Yujian, so they asked him to lead them away. The people from the Death Shadow Pavilion took the opportunity to steal the body and deliver it to Zuo Jinmen.
It's a big and messy game of chess, but it's closely linked and pressing every step of the way.
Before Shan Hai could figure out who Cang Yu was, Mu Wan, who was almost crazy, broke free from their hands like an arrow from a string. At the same time, she rose into the sky, and the sword energy when she waved her umbrella brought flying sand and rocks, creating a formation visible to the naked eye. The giant blade struck at the two of them. They turned back dexterously, and Tang He jumped to the very high rock behind him and stood up with his scabbard. Lord Xueyue stepped on the rock wall and turned into flying fire and rushed towards the mountain and sea.
Without any hesitation, Shi Wuqi instantly pulled out the sword from Duan Yuesheng's waist, and intertwined with Shanhai's wooden sword in front of Lord Xueyue.
Lord Kuchtsuki stretched out his hands and pushed the crossed swords to both sides as if he felt no pain. Sparks crackled from the friction between the Taomu Sword and his palm, and disgusting smoke emitted. With his other hand, he firmly grasped the metal blade, but there was no trace of blood.
He clenched his hand tightly, and the brand-new knife was crushed like this. The tip of the knife fell to the ground, and the remaining blade still showed traces of twisting and deformation caused by the force exerted on the palm.
"I-you, I...you fucking-"
Duan Yue was so angry that he didn't know who to scold first.
"Xun" waved its powerful tail, and the forked tail hairs sharpened into sharp blades, instantly cutting off Kuchtsuki-kun's fingers that were still holding some metal. All the fingers fell off and the cuts were even. But the limbs that fell on the ground turned into petals, and a ball of flame burst out from his hand, which quickly returned to its original state.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp arrow penetrated the back of the same hand.
Lord Kutsutsuki gritted his teeth and turned around to glance at Lord Yezuki beside him.
"You know," he said, "you're a disgrace to the monster—you're a traitor."
"I'm a human being." Ye Yuejun replied in an unceremonious tone.
"Listen, it's ridiculous!"
The arrow that penetrated the back of his hand began to burn from the connection, and he pulled it out with his other hand. A neat cross-arm blocked Shi Wuqi's pursuit, and he continued to laugh and said:
"Do you think you can change the monster's origin by changing your mortal bones? You nondescript monster, you are dreaming!"
