Mo Huai sighed and told the story in detail. When he saw Su Xu turning back, he hesitated whether to go back to help. Before he could figure out the outcome, he saw the two of them flying out.
But it was too late.
After all, Su Xu was in the foundation building stage, and his speed was far slower than Lin Chen. He was the first to be hit by the airflow. If Lin Chen hadn't turned around and thrown out the defensive magic weapon, he would have been torn to pieces by the aftermath of the explosion on the spot, and he wouldn't have been able to survive now.
Yunli's expression was complicated. She could guess the situation at that time. Su Xu was the last person to rush out of the cave and suffered the biggest aftermath of the self-destruction. Even when the first wave of air came, he used his body to block Lin Chen.
All her internal organs were broken, how painful it was. She pursed her lips and slowly clenched her fists.
"Cough cough cough..."
Ji Ruochen is truly a talented spiritual doctor. Under his pills, Lin Chen quickly woke up and said, "Su... Junior Brother Su, how are you?"
Ji Ruochen stepped aside and said, "See for yourself."
"Junior Brother Su!" Lin Chen's pupils trembled, and he rushed forward with strength, but when he touched the injured area, his body went limp and fell back into Mo Huai's arms.
"It's all my fault. If it wasn't for saving me, Junior Brother Su wouldn't have..."
Lin Chen's voice was low, guilt, self-blame, and regret surrounded him like a tide.
Yunli's nails almost dug into her flesh before she stopped her questioning. Su Xu saving people seemed normal to her. But if it were her, if someone close to her was in danger, she wouldn't just leave. Let it go.
However, after escaping from danger, Lin Chen only cared about himself. He knew that he was in the foundation building stage and his speed was far inferior to his golden elixir, but he did not pull him to escape with him.
She couldn't help but suspect that he had deliberately let Su Xu act as his human shield from behind.
Suddenly, Su Xu's long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. She shouted in surprise: "He's awake, he's awake, Ji Ruochen, look quickly, he's awake!"
Ji Ruochen sighed, took out a silver needle and pricked Su Xu's neck, with unbearable expression on his face: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly."
As soon as the great joy in her heart arose, it was extinguished by a basin of cold water. Thoughts flashed through her mind, and she was powerless. This was just a flashback, and Yunli just didn't want to admit it.
"Senior Brother Su." She lowered her head and called in a low voice, her vision already blurry.
Su Xu raised his eyelids with difficulty and said in a weak voice, "Little... master... ancestor..."
Yunli's heart trembled. She didn't expect that Su Xu's first words were about her cousin.
She nodded vigorously and said with choked sobs: "I know, I will protect her, don't worry."
"Many...thank you very much."
After saying this, he closed his eyes, took a hard breath, and finally gathered some strength to finish a complete sentence.
"Senior Brother Lin, our little master is a person who understands the general situation and considers the overall situation. She only cares about emotions. If one day she makes a mistake, please forgive her for my sake."
Uninformed people would not understand this sentence, but Yunli knew what he was talking about. He was worried that one day his identity would be exposed and his cousin would be implicated.
The hot tears in his eyes could no longer be held back and rolled out instantly. In the last moments of his life, he was still worried about his cousin's safety.
Lin Chen lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. Mo Huai called out hurriedly: "Senior Brother Lin."
He then raised his eyes, glanced over several people, and finally looked deeply at Su Xu: "I promise you."
With his agreement, the big stone in Su Xu's heart finally fell. He didn't worry about his parents, grandfather, or clan members. As long as the Su family was here, they would be fine.
The only thing that made him uneasy was the bright figure in his heart. She was so affectionate. If Junior Sister Yun's identity was exposed, she would probably admit it without hesitation due to her temperament. She was also so proud, and she believed it from the bottom of her heart. I will never admit my mistakes or give in.
His body was no longer tense, his eyes gradually relaxed, and he whispered softly: "Grandpa, Xu'er is unfilial."
Closing my eyes, I can see the past vividly in my mind, including my parents' caring, grandpa's eager expectations, and her proud and bright smile.
At the end of his life, he was unwilling to give up. The past was so beautiful, but overnight, without warning, why did she suddenly change.
He clenched his fists, endured the pain of his consciousness being turned upside down, and used the last of his concentration to mobilize his broken consciousness and said via voice: "Junior sister Yun, why did my little master suddenly change?"
After receiving the message, Yunli was stunned for a moment, and the tears flowed more fiercely. After thinking for a moment, she responded tactfully: "It's not that she doesn't want to learn attack techniques."
Su Xu opened his eyes suddenly, shock flashed across his eyes. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else, but when he opened his mouth, he vomited blood.
The blood turned everyone's eyes bright red, and the bright eyes gradually dimmed and closed slowly.
"Senior Brother Su!"
"Senior Brother Su!"
"Junior Brother Su!"
Yunli slowly closed her eyes. Things in the world are confusing. If it weren't for Fuyu's conspiracy, they wouldn't be where they are today.
At the same time, Taiyi Sect and Wanqing Hall.
An Ran's hands paused while he was making the secrets. Green smoke suddenly rose from the elixir furnace that was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and all the elixirs in the furnace were useless.
She froze on the spot and couldn't recover for a long time.
He Tiantian was surprised when he just pushed the door open. Uncle An had passed the seventh-grade alchemist examination a few years ago. He was so experienced that even if he was learning new elixirs, there was no reason to explode the furnace.
She walked over quickly and asked worriedly: "Uncle An, are you okay?"
An Ran stroked his heart, feeling a little strange. Just now, a panic flashed through his heart, as if something bad had happened.
Facing the little girl's worried eyes, she shook her head slightly and asked, "Did you give him the Golden Pill?"
Speaking of this, He Tiantian couldn't help but pout: "This is the first gold-forming elixir you refined, Uncle An, and you just gave it away for nothing."
An Ran said calmly: "If it weren't for his spiritual fruit that day, Cangjie wouldn't have been able to advance smoothly. Later, many troubles arose because of this. We owe him."
"Then there's no need to give him the first gold-forming elixir. If you give it to him, he can't tell anyone about it, and he has to pretend that he didn't refine it."
He Tiantian was unhappy and muttered, she was really unhappy about this matter. After the alchemy test, Mu Shaoxun stayed in the sect and refused to leave.
For Master Danyang's sake, the sect couldn't get rid of him, so he pushed even further and relied on Master Danyang's power to dominate Tianyun City. Wouldn't this ruin Master Danyang's reputation? It was really annoying.
An Ran said while cleaning the alchemy furnace: "He is a guest who lives in Taiyi. If people know that he has obtained the Jiejin elixir, his life will be in danger. We understand cause and effect, not enmity."
That day, he was able to exchange for the Jiuzhonglou. As a last resort, he robbed the Jiuzhonglou without paying any reward, so he gave him the golden elixir. This was a favor that he had repaid, and he finally lived up to his cousin's trust.
She looked out the window and said that it had been more than five years since her cousin entered Jiuliyuan. I wonder if everything is fine?
She suddenly remembered her palpitations just now, and her expression suddenly changed. Could it be that something happened to her cousin, or was it Su Xu...
"Uncle An, what's wrong?" Seeing the change in her expression, He Tiantian was a little puzzled and then became nervous, "Did I say something wrong?"
An Ran walked out quickly and flew up with her sword as soon as she left the palace door. By the time He Tiantian reacted, she had disappeared into the mist-shrouded sky.
"Big brother!"
She ran all the way to Yuanmu Peak where Master Danyin was and called him, but she suddenly didn't know how to speak.
"Little junior sister?" Master Danyin was surprised, "Why are you here?"
When she was a child, the little girl liked to visit Yuanmu Peak. Later, she learned alchemy. Except for occasionally going to Tianyun City with Lin Xi, she concentrated on refining alchemy in her Wanqing Palace. She has not been to Yuanmu Peak for a long time. .
Pursing his lips, An Ran asked: "Is there someone assigned to watch over little Susu's soul lamp?"
Master Danyin was stunned for a moment, then took a few steps nervously: "What news do you have? What's wrong with Xu'er?"
An Ran smiled and said, "It's okay. It just occurred to me that they have been in there for more than five years and I don't know what's going on inside."
Master Danyin just laughed, and the junior sister was afraid that he might be disappointed. He comforted him softly: "Don't worry, this time is not only the foundation building period, but there are also five golden elixir stages entering. Junior Brother Lin is the leader of our sect. There are He's here, nothing will happen."
An Ran remained silent. If Lin Chen could be relied upon, his cousin and Wei Xiaosan would not be in the same situation as they are now.
"Xu'er and the others have dedicated personnel watching over their soul lanterns. Guan Taicai reported to the head teacher a few days ago that although the core disciples have also died, Xu'er and the others are all fine."
Seeing that she was still worried, Danyin was helpless. This information was originally confidential, but it didn't hurt to reveal some to the junior sister.
"That's good."
An Ran finally let out a breath, he was fine, his cousin was very strong, and Wei Xiaosan was protecting him, so he should be fine too.
She bowed slightly and said, "This way I won't disturb Senior Brother. An Ran will leave."
After saying that, he retreated. As soon as he reached the door, a rainbow light from the sky came straight towards this direction, and fell outside the hall in the blink of an eye.
A fellow Foundation Establishment disciple staggered and fell from the flying sword. He didn't care to greet her and almost crawled into the hall. "Master, it's bad, Senior Brother Su's soul lamp has gone out."
Outside the hall, An Ran's head was buzzing and he couldn't hear anything. Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and it seemed like it was just a short moment...
Jiuliyuan.
Yunli looked at a few light clouds in the sapphire sky and sent a message to the guard: "Brother, do you think we are wrong?"
Wei Lin raised his eyebrows but did not answer. She did not need his response and said to herself: "We should believe him. If we tell him what Fuyu did, he might be able to stand with us. "
She sniffed, "But when I think about him turning back to save Lin Chen, but Lin Chen didn't take him to escape, I feel that we can't trust anyone easily, otherwise, we will die."
She was very conflicted in her heart. On the one hand, she felt that because they were too vigilant and did not tell Su Xu the truth, he and his cousin never made it clear until their death.
Maybe his relationship with his cousin could have another possibility. Knowing the truth, even if Su Xu couldn't do anything to Fuyu, given his character, he wouldn't expose his cousin.
In this way, he and his cousin will get along very well, and he will also help his cousin to cover up at Fuyu. With one more trustworthy person, maybe his cousin can be more free.
But on the other hand, she felt that this idea was very dangerous. After all, Fuyu was the head of the Su family and had high moral standing. Su Xu admired him very much. If he got hot-headed and went directly to confront Fuyu, they would all be killed. .
Hearing her previous sentence, Wei Lin's eyebrows jumped. This idea was too dangerous. If a person had not done anything harmful, and they had to rip out their heart and lungs, they would have to die many times.
It is already very dangerous for Mu Yan to start defending her for no reason and tell her everything. If such a person comes again, he will really die of mental and physical exhaustion.
Hearing the last sentence, his hanging heart was relieved again. Although he was a little sentimental, he still understood the importance.
Since she didn't have those terrible thoughts, he decided to comfort her. As a little girl, it's normal to be sentimental when she gets emotional.
He sighed softly and replied: "If I tell him, he will have to repeatedly struggle between Fuyu and the princess who to believe. One is a respected elder, and the other is a compatible partner. This kind of pull will be even more painful."
"In addition, the day Fuyu takes action against the princess, no matter who kills whom, he will suffer..."
Yunli interrupted his transmission with a dark face: "Senior brother, you are just trying to comfort someone. What you mean is that it would be better for him to die."
Wei Lin:......
After a long time, the shaking finally stopped. The originally towering mountain peaks completely collapsed, broken rocks and sand piled up, and green trees were broken and buried.
The monks who escaped did not celebrate their survival, but asked about the traces of the chessboard.
"I remember that you were the closest to the chessboard at that time. Did you take it away?" A male cultivator with a resolute face narrowed his eyes, pointed at the male cultivator with a mustache, and spoke in a cold tone.
The mustachioed male cultivator rolled his eyes and glanced at the person opposite, "He's not far away."
…
After some identification, and finally some guessing, I finally found the traces of the chessboard.
The only remaining monk in the Phantom Palace, under the wolf-like gazes of everyone, took out the chessboard in frustration.
Chu Feng looked at Lin Chen and said: "My younger brother has some talent in formations. The chessboard is the weapon of the formation master, and Hui Ying has a lifetime of formation attainments, so why not give it to us."
Chu Nan, who was immersed in Su Xu's tragic death and was in deep sorrow, raised his head when he heard this, looked at his brother, and then at Su Xu's body on the ground, struggled for a moment, and said: "This time Taiyi Sect suffered heavy losses... "
As soon as he started, he was stared back by Chu Feng with a sharp look. Su Xu suffered heavy losses after the death of Taiyi Sect. Now there are only two brothers left in their Tianxin Pavilion. It is not that there are no sects and aristocratic families that have been wiped out. Ye This is true for both the Xiao family.
Let's not mention the Xiao family for now. Except for Xiao Heng, a young genius, no one in the Jindan stage has come. Ye Chuning, the most talented young man in the Ye family, has died. Su Xu's death is not a heavy loss.
Lin Chen obviously knew this too. He acted in a matter-of-fact manner and only held the last gray figure to death. Moreover, he did not go into battle himself, but winked at Zheng Rui who was standing aside.
Now that the matter has come to this, he must try his best to gain benefits for the sect. Zheng Rui put away his sadness and said in a deep voice: "Hui Ying's self-destruction killed three people, and my Taiyi sect only took two. Senior brother Su is the future head of the Su family. , Junior Brother Weiyu is also a senior deacon of Tai Yifeng, we have made the greatest contribution to dealing with Gray Shadow."
He paused, "Besides, if Senior Brother Su hadn't blocked the biggest aftermath of Gray Shadow's self-destruction, everyone here might not necessarily have to stand here."
