"Senior Huangfu, please be merciful. Fairy Xiao has shown great kindness to our Nan Zhan cultivators. Please be lenient and don't harm her life …"
Xiao Xue was being suppressed by the Huangfu Clan's cultivators. In the sky, all the cultivators watched as she fought with the Huangfu Clan's cultivators like a madman. However, in the silence of indifference, there were still people who couldn't bear to watch. Even the cultivator surnamed Li, who was the first to say that he didn't have the qualifications to decide Xiao Xue's life and death, hesitated for a while before steeling his heart and begging for mercy from the Huangfu Clan's old cultivator in the sky.
"That's right, Senior Huangfu, Fairy Xiao is a famous person on the Lingyun List after all. As for how to deal with her, we still need to discuss it properly!"
"We don't want to cover up for her evil deeds. We just want to give her a chance to live on account of her great contributions in the past. The only person who can judge the life and death of a person on the Lingyun List is the Great Snowy Mountain's Huqin Elder. Please be merciful and give her a chance …"
As one person spoke, there were more people who steeled their hearts and bravely stood out to plead for mercy.
The Huangfu Clan's old cultivator had an arrogant expression and didn't take the words of these people to heart. Only when the last person mentioned the words "Huqin Elder" in front of him did his expression suddenly change and reveal a trace of anger. His large sleeves fluttered as he turned around with his back facing the blazing sun in the sky. There was a vague feeling of covering the sky and sun. His voice seemed to have been fished out from the netherworld and was bone-piercingly cold. "Huqin Elder? Haha, my Huangfu Clan's extermination of demons is a matter of course. When did we need that old man's consent? "
He became angrier and angrier. Even his eyebrows and beard fluttered. He suddenly turned around and pointed at Xiao Xue in the sky. "If we're talking about Great Snowy Mountain's disciples, then this girl was originally a Great Snowy Mountain's disciple. She even deceived the world to gain fame and was regarded as a meritorious servant of Nan Zhan. However, all of you have seen it for yourself. Ask that Huqin Elder. Hehe, this old man wants to ask him. My Huangfu Clan wants to ask him in front of the world how the Great Snowy Mountain's disciples were raised. Other than demons, there are more demons! "
"So what if she has turned into a demon? I'm a hundred times more selfish than your Huangfu Clan … "
At this moment, there was a roar. Xiao Xue finally found an opening and charged at the old cultivator from the Huangfu Clan without any regard for her life. Her silver sword turned into tens of thousands of silver swords that pierced towards the old cultivator from the Huangfu Clan.
"Vile spawn, surrender!"
At this moment, the old cultivator from the Huangfu Clan suddenly let out a roar and a Core Luster appeared around him. It was as if invisible flying swords were slashing over, slicing Xiao Xue's hair into snowflakes. At the same time, he swooped down and stomped down. After all, he was a Golden Core Realm cultivator, so he didn't give Xiao Xue the slightest chance to resist and stomped her to the ground.
"Bang!"
A crater appeared on the ground as Xiao Xue's body sank into the mud. Her snow-white clothes were stained with dust.
"Roar …"
In Xiao Xue's body, there was a terrifying demonic aura constantly attacking her as she struggled to stand up.
However, the old cultivator from the Huangfu Clan's stomp was like a mountain, suppressing Xiao Xue to the point where she couldn't even raise her head.
As she struggled, some of the Zhu Xiu in the air revealed a happy expression, while others couldn't bear it. However, no matter who it was, when they discovered that the old cultivator from the Huangfu Clan was enraged, they didn't dare to open their mouths and only turned their heads to avoid looking at her.
"Vile spawn, you refined the Life Spirit Pill and slaughtered lives. Your sin is unforgivable. I originally wanted to kill you, but now I've changed my mind. Since you're a disciple of the Great Snow Mountain and a person on the Lingyun List, I'll first bring you back to the Huangfu Clan to be suppressed. I'll wait for that old man from Huqin to come and ask him in front of him how the Great Snow Mountain still has the face to claim to be the orthodox lineage for producing such a disciple!"
As the old cultivator spoke, two iron chains with hooks appeared in his hands. With two "puchi" sounds, the iron chains flew down as if they had a life of their own and pierced through Xiao Xue's left and right shoulder blades. At the same time, the cold intent refined by the tens of thousands of demonic spirits from the Blackwater Lake entered Xiao Xue's meridians and firmly locked the demonic aura in her body.
"Let's go!"
A hint of joy flashed between the old cultivator's brows. He turned his head and looked at the surrounding cultivators. With a cold shout, he flew into the sky.
Xiao Xue was lifted up like a paper kite. She floated in the air and was forcefully taken away.
"This … this is a bit too much …"
Xiao Xue, or rather, White Demon, was taken away by a cultivator from the Huangfu Clan. However, the scene became silent.
The expressions of the cultivators were complicated. They all felt a strange emotion emerge from the bottom of their hearts.
"She is, after all, White Demon who committed the taboo of the gods and demons. It's understandable that the Huangfu Clan wants to exterminate the demon …"
"Heh, is it to exterminate the demon? After the Great Snow Mountain established the Divine Continent, all the cultivators of the Nan Zhan had the qualifications to enter the orthodoxy. Only the Huangfu Clan was isolated. This hatred has long been deep and cannot be resolved. I think the Huangfu Clan wants to use this opportunity to cause trouble for the Great Snow Mountain, right? After all, the Divine Continent is the place where the Dao originates, so they pay great attention to the demon. I heard that Song Guichan, the divine son of the Pure Yang Sect in the Northern Region of the Divine Continent, was imprisoned for a thousand years because he was tainted by the demonic nature. The Pure Yang Sect was also implicated and criticized by the sects of the Northern Region. They had no choice but to seal themselves for a hundred years as an apology. If the sects of the Northern Region are like this, what about the Great Snow Mountain that has yet to gain a firm foothold? "
Amidst the chaos, an old cultivator with an ordinary appearance but extraordinary knowledge spoke up and dispelled the mystery in Zhu Xiu's heart.
"This … if the Great Snow Mountain can't gain a firm foothold, what will happen to the cultivators of the Nan Zhan?"
Someone already turned pale with fright when he heard this and cried out in fear.
"Hehe, what are you worried about? Without the Great Snow Mountain, do you think the Huangfu family won't be able to establish their Dao?"
"That's right. If the Huangfu family used any tricks, we won't be able to tolerate them. But this time, the Huangfu family did it openly … This Fairy Xiao might have really done meritorious deeds in the past, but now that she has turned into the White Demon, it is also a fact that she has destroyed lives. Even the laws of the mortal world don't pay attention to the balance of merits and demonic deeds, not to mention that we are cultivators. What did Xiao Xue violate the taboo of the Fiendgods?"
Discussions broke out among the cultivators, but no one was able to come up with an answer.
This matter was already chaotic, and with the addition of the Huangfu family, there was even a conflict between the Huangfu family and the Great Snow Mountain. It was even more impossible for them to interfere. Although there were people who felt sorry for Xiao Xue, they only scolded her angrily.
Gradually, some of the cultivators dispersed, but some moved closer to the Ghost Smoke Valley and were ready to make a move.
"The White Demon has already been captured by the Huangfu family's senior. The things she left behind are ownerless. How about we dig them up and split them evenly?"
Someone hesitated for a long time, before softly suggesting.
"That's fine. But the items used to refine the demon cannot be kept for ourselves. We must hand them over to a respected senior to deal with …"
After the discussion was settled, cultivators rushed into the valley and cleared out the buried valley, searching for the resources left behind by Xiao Xue. They were all people with cultivation, so clearing out the valley was as easy as flipping their hands. Large pieces of rocks and wood were all moved out. Just as they were about to dig out the center of the valley where Xiao Xue was, there were cultivators that were slightly startled, looking towards a certain direction.
"Cough cough … I was almost disposed of like a fish by someone …"
Beneath a huge slab of stone, there was a coughing sound. Then, the slab of stone trembled slightly, and a black figure crawled out. His body was covered in a thick layer of blood and dust, and his original appearance was almost unrecognizable. Such a light and nimble movement of crawling out seemed to be abnormally strenuous. Around his body, there was a protective talisman, and its light was getting dimmer and dimmer.
It seemed that when he was trapped inside, it was this talisman that saved his life.
"It's him …"
Everyone recognized him. He was the nameless cultivator that captured Xiao Xue in the beginning. They originally thought that he had died from the Huangfu Clan's spell, but they never thought that this person would be so lucky to survive with a protective talisman.
However, if he only relied on a talisman to survive, then his cultivation wouldn't be very high.
Especially looking at his difficult movements, he seemed more like a mortal.
"Bastard! You deserve to die for protecting White Demon!"
When the other cultivators saw this person, they were a bit surprised. However, there was also someone who fiercely shouted and was about to slash at him.
It was one of the three elders of the Xiao Clan. They hated this nameless cultivator the most. They originally wanted to silently kill White Demon and protect the Xiao Clan's reputation. However, because of this, Xiao Xue's identity was known by others and they couldn't hide it anymore. To the Xiao Clan, this was already a hidden danger with unpredictable consequences. No one knew if it would affect the Xiao Clan's fate.
Seeing that he was able to escape with his life but had no cultivation, the Xiao Clan elder immediately wanted to kill him to vent his anger.
However, just as he was about to take out his flying sword, the nameless cultivator suddenly turned around and looked at him.
It was just a cold gaze, but it caused the Xiao Clan elder's heart to turn cold and he didn't take out his sword.
This was a very strange feeling. It was clear that this person did not have any cultivation, but the look in his eyes caused the Xiao Clan Elder, who was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, to feel fear. It was as if he was being stared at by an ancient beast, and even his body and head were not listening to him.
"Hehe, you're in a hurry to dig up treasures?"
The nameless cultivator only glanced at the elder of the Xiao family before moving his eyes away. He sat down on a smooth piece of rock and took a deep breath. Then, he looked at the surrounding cultivators with a faint smile. There was a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth as he sighed softly. "If Senior Sister Xiao had known that all of you were like this, she might not have used that sword in the Divine Continent …"
"Eh …"
The cultivators all felt a bit embarrassed. Their thin-skinned faces were burning.
"The Huangfu Clan is after all slaying demons. Even if their methods are a bit fierce, we can't say anything …"
A cultivator explained helplessly.
"I won't count on you guys. Hehe, if I didn't stop Senior Sister Xiao from using those villagers to refine pills, her cultivation probably wouldn't be unstable and she wouldn't have been captured so easily. It was me who caused her to be captured by the Huangfu Clan, so I should go and save her!"
The nameless cultivator didn't argue with anyone. He took two deep breaths, shook his head helplessly, and stood up.
The surrounding cultivators all looked at him in surprise as if they were looking at a huge joke.
Even with his body that couldn't even stand steadily, he still wanted to go and save someone from the Huangfu Clan?
The nameless cultivator was silent for a while, as if waiting for someone to speak. However, no one answered.
He laughed at himself and no longer paid attention. His gaze became even more bleak as he lowered his head and looked at the pill in his hand.
It was a green pill the size of a longan and emitted a very strange aura.
When he was buried underground, he collided with the cauldron and accidentally caught the pill that rolled out of the cauldron. At that time, he only needed to lower his head to take a look to know what it was. Xiao Xue had been refining the Life Spirit Pill for quite some time. This pill was the core that had been in the cauldron, waiting for the last batch of flesh and blood to be refined.
If it wasn't for Fang Xing stopping her, that batch of villagers would have become the last batch of sacrifices for this pill. This pill would have reached major completion and become the strongest Life Spirit Pill that Xiao Xue had ever refined. After consuming this pill, Xiao Xue would completely fall into the demonic path, but her cultivation would also recover and she would even be stronger than before. However, Fang Xing's appearance made Xiao Xue no longer refine this Life Spirit Pill, nor did she consume this incomplete core. Instead, she chose to believe in Fang Xing and let him deal with the current situation, so the pill was left behind.
But now, as if fate had dictated, this pill had fallen into Fang Xing's hands.
If he consumed it, he didn't know how much of his cultivation would recover, but at least he wouldn't be like this anymore.
Fang Xing looked into the distance and his face gradually sank.
He had already raised his hand, but just as he was about to put the pill into his mouth, he hesitated for a moment.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind like flowing shadows, causing Fang Xing, who had always been swift and decisive, to be momentarily unable to make up his mind.
"Am I going to fall into the demonic path?
"Uncle Eleven once said that people will only fall into the demonic path when they are at their most desperate … Even the demonic cultivators in the Demonic Abyss will do everything possible to preserve a trace of their true nature. But if I consume this Life Spirit Pill, I will be even more powerful than the people in the Demonic Abyss …
"When I was in the Bohai Kingdom, I thought that those people had forgotten about me. Although I was hiding from them, I still hoped that they would come and find me … Fortunately, I had Senior Brother Zhu and Jin Liuzi to help me, so I didn't become completely depressed. After that, Ying Qiaoqiao also came. That silly girl at least told me that many people were still looking for me. She was also willing to give up the path of immortality to accompany me, so the knot in my heart was finally untied …
"When I was wandering around the world, I always felt that I was looking for something, but I couldn't find it. That was until I met Ye Guyin in the Great Snowy Mountain. Everyone saw her as Nan Zhan's legend, a great hero, but this woman's Dao Heart was actually destroyed because of a small matter that I didn't help back then … It seems that no matter how good a person is, they can't deceive themselves. What is a Dao Heart … It was also in this half a year that I finally understood why I was so unhappy. It was the Dao Heart …
"I'm really stupid. Without cultivation, I'm just back to square one. What's there to be unhappy about? Eldest Young Mistress already said that she gave me two Blood Lotuses. If I consume one every 50 years, it will ensure that I live to a hundred years old. This is already very good, alright? In the past, Eldest Uncle always said that in our line of work, living to 50 years old is already considered a long life. If I can live to a hundred years old, I'll be very lucky!
"That b * tch Ye Guyin, on the other hand, used her damaged Dao Heart to help me find my Dao Heart …
"… Damn it … Those people make it sound so mysterious, but in reality, the Dao Heart is very simple …
"To have a clear conscience is the Dao Heart …
"I've always had this thing, but after I lost my cultivation, I almost lost it too!
"If I swallow this pill, I might recover my cultivation, but my Dao Heart will be lost again, and I'll probably never be able to find it again!
"Am I going to destroy my Dao Heart in order to find my cultivation?"
Fang Xing was extremely distressed with all kinds of complicated thoughts. Layers of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead, drenching his clothes.
He raised his hand, but did not put the pill into his mouth. However, he did not put it down either.
The surrounding cultivators did not understand what he was doing. They all looked at him in silence and strangely.
There were even people who looked at the pill in his hand. Their eyes shone brightly, and no one knew what they were thinking.
"Clatter, clatter, clatter …"
Just as Fang Xing was in a daze, a donkey suddenly came out of nowhere and slowly ran in front of him. It got close to his face and snorted. It was his mount. It was lucky. When the valley collapsed, this fellow was eating grass far away and avoided the fate of being buried inside. Now that it came to look for its owner, Fang Xing came to his senses.
Only then did he realize that his clothes were almost completely drenched.
Turning to look at the donkey's face, Fang Xing also instantly smiled. He patted its head and laughed softly. "At least there's you!"
With such a wake-up call, Fang Xing only felt much better. He suddenly exerted force and threw the pill far away.
"Go to hell. Uncle Eleven already said that people will only become demons when they are in despair …"
"If I swallow this pill, doesn't it mean that I've been scared to the point of despair by the Huangfu Clan?"
"If this spreads out, it'll be too embarrassing. I'll lose face …"
"So … I'll still use that method to save people …"
After throwing away the Life Spirit Pill, Fang Xing's mood became more and more carefree. A cold smile hung on his face as he looked into the distance. He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "Huangfu Clan, subduing White Devil. This is the first time I've seen your clan do something good …"
"Then today, for this good deed, I'll exterminate your entire Huangfu Clan!"
Boom!
His voice wasn't soft, and many cultivators around heard it. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Was this person crazy?
He clearly had no cultivation and almost died in the valley, but he actually dared to say that he would exterminate the entire Huangfu Clan?
Even if the cultivators of the Huangfu Clan had already left, this wasn't something that anyone would dare to say, right?
Most importantly, he said it very seriously!
After hearing his words, the cultivators subconsciously thought that he could do it …
Riding on the donkey, carrying the blade, and picking up the wine gourd from the ruins, he slowly but firmly rushed forward.
"Fellow cultivator, I wonder … how should I address you?"
After hesitating for a long time, someone among the stagnant cultivators reacted and hurriedly asked.
"This young master is Fang Xing, also known as the devil!"
The cultivator on the donkey didn't even turn his head as he replied indifferently and went further and further away.
Fang Xing?
That little devil Fang Xing who disappeared for close to ten years?
With a bang, the minds of all the cultivators seemed to explode, and it was as if there was a thunderclap resounding in the sea of consciousness. They were shocked into silence by this sentence. For a moment, some people were so shocked that the flying swords in their hands fell to the ground with a clang. Some people's mouths were so wide open that they could swallow two eggs. Some people even subconsciously shivered for a moment, only to feel a burst of dizziness and almost fainted.
Little devil Fang Xing … appeared again?
