54. The Sin of Sin, The Great Shocking Clouds.
Unknowingly, it was already noon. Shen Jingyang said, ”It's almost noon. This wilderness doesn't have any place to rest. This is pretty close to Jade Wall City. Why don't we go to Jade Wall City together? Let's eat and chat.”
10 years later, Jade Wall City's tea shop was still the same as before. The air was still warm and fragrant. Ten years ago, they had enjoyed the tea shop together, but now, without the fifth hidden spirit, it was Yun Jiu Tang's turn.
It was still considered a rich and tasty dish, but how could he not taste what it was like back then? But no matter what, this was just the beginning. It was already difficult for them to meet each other in the vast sea of people in the mortal world. The road ahead was long, and their fates might have a turning point.
Although the world was good, but delicious food was the best to live up to. Everyone was enjoying the feast. There were no longer any restrictions or fates between them, and the misunderstanding between Yun Jiu Tang and Wang Qing Chuan was also resolved. At the end of the banquet, everyone bid their farewells.
Yun Jiu Tang looked at Gu Xue Luo, his gaze deep. ”Miss Xue Luo, where are you going? Why don't you mount this Thousand Li Horse?”
”Thank you for your kind intentions, Young Master Yun. I want to go back to the Supreme Profound and clean up the clothes of those hidden spirits,” Gu Xueluo said with a desolate look in her eyes. She suddenly raised her head and stared into the distance, letting out a long sigh after a long while of silence, ”After I've settled everything down, I'll bid farewell to everyone and head to Penglai of the Eastern Wasteland …”
”Ah …” Everyone was shocked and at a loss. ”Sister Xueluo, why do you want to go to the Eastern Wastelands? That place is so desolate, so lonely …”
At this moment, the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy. Yun Jiuchang said, ”Lady Xue Luo, I am also heading in the direction of Taixuan's capital, how about I send you off?”
Everyone split up and ran back to their own homes.
Perhaps, this kind of peaceful scene was the reflection of the light before the great battle. It was like the last ray of sunlight in the evening before the endless night. The next moment, the shocking event happened once again, and the world seemed to sink into darkness.
At the middle stage of the song, the pine tree welcomed the guests, and the ancient trees reached high into the sky. The wind swept past the clouds, bringing with it waves of wind and waves.
The first rays of the morning sun began to set, and a storm was brewing.
At this moment, the leader of the Ning An Stage and the Central Opera Department was at the bottom of the dark and gloomy rock stratum, inspecting the clues left behind by the destruction of the Setting Sun Sword. They found some messy footprints and gravel flying down from the top of the rock. In the middle of a huge rock fracture, the meticulous Ning Xuemo stroked the crack on the rock, looking at the rock that seemed to have been broken by the wind from her palm. She muttered to herself, ”Judging from the crack, this rock seems to have been broken by a powerful force.”
Yu Changxiu frowned, ”What you mean is, this is the work of a top expert of the Six Realms?”
Ning Xuemo's eyes glinted with a sinister light. She pondered for a moment. ”With this kind of skill, there are only a few people who would make such a move …”
”Who is it!” Suddenly, Ning Xuemo shouted, ”Break the sound and move the plants!”
Although the intermittent ”rustling” sounds were weak and strange, Ning Xuemo was still able to see through them. He saw a shadow flash past the darkness and run towards the valley.
With such a ghostly figure hiding in this place, there must be a conspiracy. How could Ning An and Yu Changxiu miss out on such an opportunity? They leapt forward one after the other and quickly intercepted Shadow's escape route.
The distance between the two was not more than a few meters. Ning Xuemo held her sword and pointed it at the black figure. The figure was wrapped in a black robe, and only his pair of ferocious eyes were exposed. ”Who the hell are you?! I advise you to quickly remove your mask and surrender! ”
The eyes of the black shadow instantly shot out evil and hideous rays of light. It wailed like a ghost, ”F * ck you!” Then, it pounced madly, as if it wanted to perish together.
Ning Anzhan turned to the side, and the black shadow pounced in front of him. Suddenly, a foul stench of blood wafted through the air, making people feel nauseous. Yu Chang Xiu also held his sword, but Ning An raised his hand to stop Yu Tan. ”Master Yu Tan, there's no need to waste your energy. I alone am enough to deal with this kind of scum. Let's see how I capture this scum!”
The black shadow was angered by Ning An's contemptuous words. Its breathing became hurried and uneven, and it started attacking with all its might. Ning An stage had already predicted that his opponent's Qi would be chaotic, and the moves he used to attack were mixed and impure. He had more than enough strength, but he didn't have enough strength. After a few moves, he was full of openings.
The shadow had some skill. Seeing that his moves were gradually losing out, he tried his best to win with speed. In a flash, Lei hid his ears and stabbed out several sword stances. A dozen or so sword silhouettes instantly slashed straight up and down, as if they were woven into a dense sword net that could not be broken by the wind.
The Green Hill's Sword was wielded in both of Ning An's hands, swinging with all his might. The Green Hill's Sword slashed out a dazzling green light, and with a ”Ao” sound, the old man pointed his sword straight at the shadow, the sharp green light was like a flying dragon smashing into the net of swords.
With a loud ”clang,” the dozen or so sword shadows were instantly turned to ashes. The green light heavily smashed into the black shadow's chest. With a ”Ah” sound, it fell to the ground.
Ning An's sword was pointed straight at his face, the veil covering his face was lifted off, revealing a hideous expression. The stench from his body became even stronger, causing one to feel nauseous from covering their nose.
Yu Chang Xiu said, ”This is a insect in the Demon World. It is in the form of a demon, so it hasn't fully turned into a demon yet. Its face is ugly and ferocious and its body stinks.”
At this time, the insect monster's face suddenly turned purple, its face became pale, its teeth chattered, and its body began to tremble violently as black liquid came out of its mouth.
Chief Yu said in shock: ”Not good!” He took poison! ” He hastily used his finger to point at several dead points on the insect monster's body, such as its tail, giant sword, and curved bone, in an attempt to prevent the poison from invading its bone marrow. But it was too late. The insect monster's pupils had dilated and its body became stiff. It then let out a strange ”zhi zhi” sound and its body gradually shrank until thick black water flowed out. Soon, the corpse turned into a puddle of black water, leaving only the black robe.
”What kind of poison did he take? Why is there nothing left of him?”
Yu Chang Xiu calmed himself down and muttered: ”This is a poison from the Spirit Demon realm. Before inciting the demons to take action, they would hide a strong poison in their body, and when things get exposed or the mission fails, the poison in their body would instantly act up. Not only will they lose their lives, they will even destroy their corpse and cause the other party to be unable to find any clues.”
”What a despicable and shameless method!”
”Yeah, this has already become a common tactic used in the Demon World.”
”The fact that the insect monster is hiding here must be related to the destruction of the Setting Sun Sword!” Ning An's tone was firm, and his face was as hard as steel.
”That's right, but we've already destroyed the corpse and erased all traces of it. If we want to find evidence, we won't be able to do so even if we want to find out the theory behind Li Fengxian's death …”
