"I understand. Doctor Jade, I will take my leave."
"where you go?"
But there was no response from Zhao Ning, and her voice disappeared instantly in the ancient medical hall.
"Hey." Yu Jingjue couldn't help but sigh. It was obvious that Zhao Ning's talent and high-grade golden elixir were not a problem, so why did such a disaster happen?
Zhao Ning walked slowly in Kunxu. She came to the cave where she and Qin Keyuan hid together. The outside of the cave had collapsed, and there were several restrictions inside to hide the cave deep in the cave.
In the cave, Zhao Ning originally wanted to look for the things left behind by Uncle Qin, but after entering this place, his thoughts seemed empty.
Zhao Ning sat in the same place where Qin Keyuan meditated.
"Uncle Master, is this my catastrophe?"
"But, I don't understand. I have been mediocre all my life, so why was I chosen by a powerful person?"
"Uncle, Zhao Ning feels so tired."
Zhao Ning murmured.
Her whole body was hidden in the shadows, just sitting cross-legged, hunched over. For the first time, she could not even straighten her back. Her head was lowered, with no expression, and no emotional fluctuations like before.
I don’t know how long it took, but it seemed like there was a voice talking in my ears.
"You are complaining. You are complaining about the unfairness of heaven, complaining about your bad fate, and complaining about why you are not the son of genius who has everything going smoothly."
Zhao Ning said nothing, and she remained motionless, as if she didn't hear anything.
"Look, it has been more than twenty years since you came from the ordinary world to the world of cultivation. There are calamities and obstacles everywhere. Every moment of your life is a difficulty. What's the point of such practice? It's better to just die. To be liberated from such a life and to make those who peek into your soul completely despair, what a great way to kill two birds with one stone. Maybe, if you are lucky, you can be reincarnated."
Zhao Ning closed her eyes.
"Why is all this happening now, where did it start, and become as irreversible as it is today. You just want to achieve a high-grade golden elixir, why is it so difficult? If someone had warned you earlier, you are Otherwise, we would not have fallen into such a desperate situation.
Have you remembered that he actually said that you don’t want to form a high-grade golden elixir? You just need to form an elixir. Do you think why he said such a thing? Is he already aware of your current predicament, but he didn’t tell you? ,hehe. "
"roll!"
Suddenly, a suppressed roar came out from Zhao Ning's throat.
Inner demons.
All-pervasive inner demons.
When Zhao Ning was in the most vulnerable state of mind, the inner demon suddenly latched onto him like a smelly fly.
She opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes full of coldness.
"Zhao Ning has never regretted, never doubted, and never despaired in this life."
Word by word, firm to the extreme.
Thunder Soul Wood suddenly appeared in her hand, and the thunder light flickered in the Thunder Soul Wood. Suddenly she cast a magic spell, and thunder traveled across the world, which was too illusory.
It's just that this method is definitely not attacking other places, but attacking the inner demons that are entangled in her own soul.
For a moment, she suddenly stiffened and raised her head. The lightning struck from her body into her soul. The extreme pain hit her soul like thunder whips. Zhao Ning looked at the rock wall above her head and suddenly let out a "haha" laugh, as if Enjoy the pain, or find sobriety in the pain.
"Since Uncle Master said that this calamity is connected with my destiny, he is asking about the only way to refine one's heart."
"Then break the back and stand, break the big and stand."
"Zuo can't do it again and again. If I can do it for the first time, I can do it again for the second time."
"The endless years are nothing!"
The spiritual light on her body fainted, a black smoke gradually came out, and the lightning followed closely, trying to strangle the inner demon.
At this moment, a ray of clear light emerged from under the stone bed, enveloping the inner demon mist. I could only hear the inner demon screaming, and was slowly purified by the clear light into the sky.
Zhao Ning paused, her eyes blank, but she remembered that Qin Keyuan had said that he was hiding something here.
She suddenly turned around and found the place where the clear light overflowed, and slowly reached out her hand. The spiritual light slowly spread from her fingertips, and the contents inside slowly floated out from the spiritual light package.
It was a jade bottle, about one foot high, made of unknown material, and extremely warm.
The mouth of the bottle was covered with a dragon pattern ban, but for some reason, a stream of green smoke overflowed from the mouth of the bottle.
Zhao Ning realized what this thing was.
"The Soul Purification Bottle is a treasure from the underworld that can purify the souls of all things."
Qin Keyuan snatched it from the hands of the ghost servant in Youdu back then. It turned out that it could also purify inner demons.
At this moment, Zhao Ning seemed to think of something.
Her fingertips trembled as she slowly touched the soul purification bottle.
The moment he touched it, a memory was transferred from the bottle to Zhao Ning's mind.
…
Qin Keyuan emerged from the space crack in embarrassment, which was a space crack in the Lingwu Forest. He did not wait at all, and directly took off on the clouds. His speed reached the extreme, and he arrived at the Yunxiao Hall in a moment.
The leader of the Qingxiao Sect, who was rarely seen by the Pingyu Sect, was also there.
Seeing Qin Keyuan, he immediately jumped up from the sect leader's throne and rushed towards Qin Keyuan, "Have you got it?"
Qin Keyuan turned his hand and the soul purification bottle appeared in his hand.
"That's great, that's great." Master Pingyu almost cried with joy. He subconsciously went to pick it up, but the moment his fingertips touched it, black smoke appeared instantly. Master Pingyu's facial features were distorted for an instant, and he flicked it with his backhand. , actually wanted to drop the soul purifying bottle.
But Qin Keyuan moved faster. He pointed at the forehead of Sect Master Pingyu. Sect Master Pingyu trembled and his expression slowly returned to normal.
"Sect Master, most of your sea of consciousness has been occupied by demons."
"It's okay, it's okay." Sect Leader Pingyu was in a daze, frowning and shaking his head, as if this would wake him up, "Don't worry about me for now, go give those disciples a try first, hurry up, don't delay."
The leader of the Pingyu clan teleported to the throne and cast a strange restriction. The throne disappeared, and a stone-sealed gate appeared.
They entered it directly, but it was an open area underneath the Qingxiao Sect. However, there were hundreds of stone-sealed Qingxiao Sect disciples placed here. Even though they were sealed by the stone, there were still billows of demonic energy flowing out of them. Some stone statues were even shaking as the demonized disciples inside tried to rush out.
Many caves were dug out on the surrounding rock walls, and some inner disciples of the Qingxiao Sect were also imprisoned in them. Their brows were dark, black energy was rising one by one, and their hands were covered with blood. Following the crazy blood paintings, some of the imprisoned disciples were somehow mutilated, but they still unconsciously dragged their broken arms dripping with blood and said that they were normal and did not want to be locked up here.
"Sect Master, First Officer, why are you locking us up! What the hell are those stone statues outside! Please let us out quickly!"
The sect master couldn't bear to look any longer and only urged Qin Keyuan, "Hurry, hurry up, use the soul purifying bottle to create a great soul purification array, and expel the demons from their sea of consciousness."
Qin Keyuan moved, and the soul purification bottle floated in the central sky. At the cost of almost all his true energy and half of his blood essence, the ten thousand soul purification formation was formed. In the soul purification bottle, wisps of pure light fell like drizzle, and a stream of light fell like a drizzle. A little bit of Qinluo enchanted the demonized disciples.
But... it had no effect at all.
The demonized disciples are still like monsters, and the disciples whose consciousness has been eroded by the demons act horribly and bloodyly.
Qin Keyuan gritted his teeth and maintained the formation, but at this moment, the Pingyu sect leader beside him suddenly moved, and a long sword suddenly stabbed Qin Keyuan.
Sect Leader Pingyu's expression was distorted again, and his eyes gradually became demonic.
Qin Keyuan instantly touched the tip of the sword with his palm. He was forced back by the sword until he was forced to the rock wall, which made the restrictions on it tremble. He turned his magic skills and the soul purification bottle appeared above the head of the sect leader, filled with clear light.
Sect Master Pingyu seemed to have regained a glimmer of consciousness. He was a little confused and then became desperate.
"It's useless - Ke Yuan, why don't you even use the soul purification bottle - why - I can feel that the demonic energy in my sea of consciousness has not dissipated at all - is it really necessary to split the sea of consciousness - —”
"Sect Master, you still have consciousness and you still have a chance."
"No, no, no, no, no, I will become a monster like them."
"Look, I almost killed you without realizing it. Ha, ha, ha, ha."
Suddenly, the tip of his sword swiveled and stabbed directly into his heart. Qin Keyuan forcibly held the sword, and blood gushed out instantly, but he couldn't care less.
"Sect Master, what are you doing?!"
"There is no hope, Keyuan. This is a punishment from heaven. I will take the first step."
Saying that, regardless of Qin Keyuan's obstruction, he forcefully shook Qin Keyuan away with his late-stage cultivation of the golden elixir. He pierced the heart with a sword and shattered the soul. The devilish energy floated out wrapped in the soul fragments and was purified by the clear light of the soul purification bottle.
The sect leader fell to the ground with a strangely peaceful expression.
Chapter 204
The top of Yunxiao Peak is the highest place in the entire Qingxiao Sect. From here, you can overlook the entire Qingxiao Sect.
At that time, the Qingxiao Sect was still peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the three thousand disciples of the Qingxiao Sect who were not affected by the demon species were all sent away by the sect for various reasons and tasks, leaving only those who had been demonized. Or a disciple who is about to become a demon.
Qin Keyuan stood silently on the top of the peak, holding in his hand the spiritual sword that Master Pingyu committed suicide, with blood falling drop by drop along the sword's body.
The remaining fairy power in the blood caused the weeds on the ground to quickly grow vigorously and bloom into beautiful flowers. However, another wave of demonic energy in the blood turned the flower into a manic state. During the mutation, it grew a sharp mouth and sharp teeth. , biting Qin Keyuan's ankle directly, but was blocked by the protective divine light, and was instantly crushed into pieces by the overflowing divine light.
Someone approached from behind, and I heard that person murmuring, "Kunxu is really going to die."
Qin Keyuan did not look back, "The sect leader said this is a punishment from heaven."
"Ha. God's punishment." The man repeated mockingly, and then said to himself.
"Back then, when the great powers of Kunxu knew where Haoyang came from, they allowed Haoyang to disturb the peace of Kunxu. They allowed him to enter the time ruins privately, hoping that he would really cause trouble. But he didn't expect that in the end he would fall into his own delusion, lose completely, and even transform his heart into a demon seed. Now the demon seed has reappeared in Kunxu..."
"There is probably a cycle of cause and effect that cannot be escaped. However, I still don't know whether Kunxu was wrong."
Qin Keyuan said indifferently, "Right and wrong, wrong and right, what can be used as a basis for judgment? If you embark on this road, you are destined to face this catastrophe."
"Oh, that's right. Kunxu has followed Haotian's path, and his ancestors may be so angry that they will jump out of the coffin board."
"Kunxu will not become the second Demonic Wilderness of the West." Qin Keyuan's answer was firm. He turned his head and looked at Master Ling Xiao who was walking beside him, "Master Ling Xiao won't go to Haoyang Tomb? "
"What's the use of going there? The demon species has escaped and there is no way to recover."
Master Ling Xiao sighed and looked at Qin Keyuan, "Keyuan, I have to leave too. I have stayed in Kunxu for three thousand years, and I don't want to see the tragedy happen with my own eyes."
Qin Keyuan did not speak, nor did he stop Master Ling Xiao's choice.
Master Ling Xiao put a hand on Qin Keyuan's shoulder and avoided looking at him. In the end, he could only lower his head and shake his head. His figure became weak and disappeared from Qingxiao Sect.
Qin Keyuan looked up at the night.
That night, the moon and stars were sparse and there were no clouds in the sky, but the moonlight was so obscure that it felt like everything was empty.
Lowering his eyes again, he saw that two disciples in Yunxiao Peak were stealing. After being discovered by the disciples, they turned to commit murder. Qin Keyuan did not move, but a strange wind blew around him.
Immediately afterwards, the two thieving disciples were locked in place. The disciple held his head for a long time after being stolen. When he saw that there was no accident, he snatched his things back, stumbled to his cave, and ran out to an open area. As if he sensed something, he turned around and looked up, and saw Qin Keyuan standing on the top of the mountain. He was shocked, raised his hands upward, and left timidly.
