When Yuan Qi and the group of martial artists who had finished regulating their qi reached the cherry tree garden, they immediately saw this scene.
They saw a "weirdo" who looked 30% like a human and 70% like a corpse chasing after a woman who was riding a tiger.
The tiger was also very strange … It had two extremely long fangs that stuck out of its mouth. Its size and fur were the best they had ever seen.
Of course, compared to the 'giant eagle' and the 'stone bird monster' that this woman rode in the Broken Soul Gorge, this tiger was already considered quite normal … This group of Jianghu experts had already seen countless strange things that subverted their common sense and worldview. At this moment, there was basically no setting that they could not accept …
"Alliance Master! Look! "Soon, someone noticed the other two figures in the garden.
Those two people … were naturally Feng Bujue and Cao Qin.
"Alliance Master, should we …" When a faction leader was about to ask Yuan Qi if they wanted to help, Yuan Qi stopped him.
Before he could finish, Yuan Qi waved his hand and said, "No …"
Although his response was a little heartless, everyone understood … After all, they were too weak. Even if they helped, they would probably die in vain. They might even become a burden to Feng Bujue.
To their surprise, Yuan Qi added, "… I'll go alone. You guys stay here."
As soon as he said that, everyone looked at him with admiration.
Then, the crowd started to clamor. People started to say things like, "Alliance Master is so righteous", "Alliance Master is really a hero of the age", and "I've never admired anyone in my life, but today, I'm convinced".
Yuan Qi did not pay much attention to it. He waited for a few seconds and continued, "Everyone … Cao Qin's martial arts are so high that it's hard to estimate. Although we haven't seen him fight, from the skills of his disciple, the King of Hell … he's definitely not a normal person." He paused. "As for Master Feng's martial arts … Hmm … Everyone has seen his wife's swordsmanship … It's not an exaggeration to say that it's the skills of a god."
At this point, he paused for a moment to give everyone some time to think.
"The martial arts of these two are beyond our reach. Even I … do not have the confidence to interfere with their victory." Yuan Yu continued, "But … if I don't get involved in this mess today … if Master Feng loses in the end, Cao Xin will definitely come after us. At that time … we'll still be dead." The more he spoke, the more solemn his expression became. "Sigh … In any case, whether we can leave Buried Heart Valley alive today … I'm afraid it'll depend on the will of the heavens."
After he finished speaking, he stopped and looked ahead, remaining silent for a moment.
Then, as if he had made up his mind about something important, the look in his eyes changed … and he rushed out.
…
On the other hand, fifteen minutes ago …
"Eunuch Cao, sorry to keep you waiting!" When Feng Bujue returned to Cao Xin, he first greeted him.
"It's fine. I got to watch a good show." As Cao Xin replied, he tilted his head and looked at the Bloody Corpse God and Bloody Rose in the distance. "Speaking of which … that lady and her companions seem to have all kinds of strange skills like the Broken Sword Chahitsu." His expression changed slightly. "Who … are you people?"
"What if I tell you that we're all from 'outer space', or … the projection of another world?" Feng Bujue asked tentatively, "Will you stop fighting me?"
"Oh?" When Cao Xin heard this, he narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
From the perspective of an NPC, his level was undoubtedly very high. His strength was definitely one of a kind. Moreover, the planet he was on was also in the main universe.
However, from the background of the character's world, he was just an ancient person who lived in a Confucian world.
Due to the limited level of natural science and knowledge in the world he lived in, it was difficult for Cao Xin to understand the concept of "dimensions."
In a technology-oriented world, even some NPCs with a low education level could know this information. In the mythological and magical worlds, there were existences like "High Gods" who were almost omniscient.
As for the world Cao Xin lived in, it was more unfortunate. If the NPCs here wanted to rely on themselves to perceive the existence of "dimensions," they could only rely on methods like "entering Dao" or "becoming Buddha."
However, this world was not the kind of place that was very convenient for cultivation. There were no cultivation sects here. There were no cultivation techniques, pills, magic treasures, and so on.
In this world, if one wanted to cultivate, they either had to practice martial arts or Zen.
The former required one to practice to the Transcendent Realm before one could touch the threshold of cultivation. The latter was more difficult than the former. As mentioned earlier, there were no cultivation techniques or pills here. Therefore, before a cultivator entered the most basic level of Foundation Establishment, there was no way to increase one's lifespan. Unless you were the kind of person who had amazing comprehension ability and was born like a living Buddha … Otherwise, to rely on meditation to possess the power of Buddhism … it was absolutely impossible to do so without a lifespan of 180 years.
In summary, although Eunuch Cao was very strong, the "extraterrestrial projection theory" mentioned by Feng Bujue was still new to him. It was also new and hard to believe.
"Haha … Hahahaha …" After thinking for about a minute, Cao Xin laughed. "This theory … is really hard to believe, but … if what you said is true, all the doubts that have been bothering me so far … have a reasonable answer."
"As expected of Eunuch Cao. With this perspective, you are much stronger than most people in the world." Feng Bujue was once a person who did not believe in ghosts, so he could understand how Cao Xin was feeling. It was probably similar to when he first met Woody.
"Be it Chang Lin Town or the summit of the forbidden city …" Cao Xin did not respond to Brother Bujue's compliment but continued. "… and today … you people appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared in light. After so many years, you still look the same. Plus the skills, spells, and strange weapons that you used … they do not seem to belong to this world." The more he spoke, the faster he spoke. This was a sign that his mind had cleared up. "… Humph, what a Broken Sword Chahitsu. I finally understand your secret … Hahahaha …"
Cao Xin finally let go of his fear.
As mentioned earlier, a person like him could accept others being stronger than him. What he was afraid of … was the unknown.
"Looks like … I should have told you this earlier." Seeing the man's reaction, Feng Bujue replied, "If that was the case …" He turned to look at Lin Yan's body. "… things would not have come to this."
"You seem to be very conflicted about Lin Yan's death." Cao Xin looked at his Brother Bujue and said.
"To be honest, I did not want to kill her," Feng Bujue answered. "She was a pitiful person. She did not do anything wrong." His eyes sharpened. "The person who was wrong … is you."
"Hmm …" Cao Xin nodded. "You're right. I am not her savior but her enemy … the enemy who ruined her life for more than forty years."
"But to complete your 'dream' … this level of sacrifice is not something you would care about," Feng Bujue said darkly.
"Ha!" Cao Xin laughed again, but this time … it was a bitter laugh. "How do you know I don't care?"
"Do you care?" Feng Bujue's expression changed slightly.
"I did not care at first," Cao Xin replied. "At least, when I planned to kill her mother, I did not hesitate at all."
"Then … you changed your mind?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"Yes," Cao Xin said.
"Why?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Because of love," Cao Xin said.
"A person like you … still has feelings?" Feng Bujue asked.
"I am also a person." Cao Xin said, "The human heart is made of flesh. No matter how detached a person is, they will still have feelings."
"Ha … I thought you had already lost your heart." Feng Bujue sneered.
"Hmm …" Cao Xin sighed. "Indeed, I have killed many people. Among them, there were good people and bad people, but most of them … were innocent people, the so-called sacrifices. I, Cao Xin, have been in court for more than sixty years. The number of evil deeds I have done is beyond anyone's imagination. In my position … if I did not throw my conscience to the back of my mind, I would have gone mad or committed suicide long ago. "
At this point, he changed the topic. "At first, I also thought … that I was heartless and heartless. But Lin Yan changed my mind. " He paused for a second and continued, "Lin Yan was brought up by me … She has been obedient, sensible, and intelligent since she was a child. She sincerely treats me like a father. She has no idea … that I am her biggest enemy. Her family's misfortune … is directly related to me. In fact, I was the one who caused it."
"So, you gradually felt guilty." Feng Bujue looked directly into Cao Xin's eyes. He could feel … that Cao Xin was not acting, and there was no need for him to act like this.
"That's right, I'm the one who should feel guilty, not you …" Cao Qin shook his head, "Until you killed her, Lin Yan didn't blame me. In her heart, I will always be the benefactor who raised her, the foster father." He clenched his fist, "Even if I don't have any affection for her, at least I feel guilty."
"Haha …" Hearing this, Feng Bujue laughed. "Eunuch Cao, it seems … that's all there is to you."
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Cao Xin's expression changed. A feeling of uneasiness … rose rapidly in his heart.
"Do you really think … that Lin Yan didn't know that you had something to do with her mother's death?" Feng Bujue immediately replied.
At that moment, Cao Xin's expression changed drastically.
"Do you understand now?" Feng Bujue knew that the man was a clever man, and he understood the situation immediately. "You said it yourself that she is' exceptionally clever '. How could she not have realized the truth after forty years?"
"Then … why did she …" Cao Xin stuttered.
"Because … she also had feelings." Feng Bujue interrupted. "She made a choice between hatred and kindness, so … she chose to hate me. She hated someone she had never met before, and would probably never meet again. She transferred all her hatred to me, so that she could live an easier life. She could … continue to see you as her benefactor, her father. " His tone was not agitated, but every word he said struck Cao Xin's soul. "In fact, she lived a very painful life, more painful than you can imagine … until today …"
"Today …" Cao Xin's eyes widened, and his body began to tremble.
"It doesn't matter if you, as her master, noticed it or not, but I did …" Feng Bujue said. "When we fought, although Lin Yan was very agitated, but … she didn't use her full strength. Regardless of whether this is done subconsciously or on purpose … … what I can tell is that compared to killing me, she is more willing to be killed by me. "
"Lin Yan … she …" Cao Xin turned to look at Lin Yan's body. "She …"
"Sigh … I'm dead, who else can she hate?" Feng Bujue sighed.
Cao Xin choked. He lowered his head and murmured, "What a silly child …"
He could no longer suppress his emotions. His eyes were wet.
Over the past few decades, Cao Xin's face had always been indifferent or smiling. He had long forgotten the uncontrollable feeling of grief and sorrow surging out of his heart.
Even at the moment of Lin Yan's death, he only showed a brief moment of shock and anger. He almost immediately suppressed his outburst of emotions and put on his usual expression.
However, at this moment, Cao Xin was on the verge of losing control.
After a moment of silence, Cao Xin wiped his face and adjusted his expression. "Master Feng … I'm sorry. I lost my composure …"
"It's alright. It's human nature," Feng Bujue said.
"Do you still remember … my twelve unique skills?" In the next second, Cao Qin suddenly changed the topic.
"What?" Feng Bujue asked. "Do you still want to teach me more?"
"No … I didn't mean that …" Cao Xin's tone was much gentler. He seemed more like an elder now. There was a hint of weariness in his eyes. "I just … want to make a deal with you."
…
Time returned to the present. Yuan Qi used his lightness skill and dashed through the forest. In the blink of an eye, he was next to Cao Xin and Feng Bujue.
As for Cao Xin and Feng Bujue … they seemed to have agreed on something and were waiting for something.
"Master Feng! I'm here to help you! " When Yuan Qi was about five to six meters away from them, he yelled as he drew the cloth sword from his waist.
Who knew …
"Alliance Master Yuan, you're just in time," Feng Bujue turned around and said. "We've been waiting for you."
"Wh … What?" Yuan Qi was stunned when he heard that.
Alliance Master Yuan thought to himself, "It can't be, right? Did these two demons form an alliance? Are they trying to destroy the world? '
Then, Feng Bujue threw out a question. "Alliance Master Yuan, are you interested in … becoming the most powerful person in the martial arts world?"
He asked this question as if he was asking, "Are you interested in going out for a walk with me?"
"Huh?" Yuan Qi was obviously unable to react.
"If you are, let's make a deal …" Feng Bujue did not wait for Yuan Qi's reply and continued, "As long as you follow my arrangements, you can still be the leader of the martial arts world after today. Also … you can learn several martial arts that are not inferior to the Destiny Mysterious Skill. As for the group of martial arts masters you brought with you, I'll teach you how to explain it to them. I guarantee that you'll be able to fool them without any repercussions. "
"This …" Yuan Qi was already tempted when he heard that.
"Of course, if you don't want to follow my arrangements … that's fine too." After a moment, Feng Bujue's lazy face instantly changed into an evil smile. He continued, "Then I'll join forces with Eunuch Cao … and play with all of you."
