Su Lianyue looked at him and then at the roasted goose in her hand. She smiled. "Nothing exists outside the heart? Well, let's take this goose as an example. The two of you didn't know each other and yet you scorched it on your first encounter. How can you say that nothing exists outside the heart…?"
"Nonsense!" Xiao Chen flicked his sleeves. He believed that she would be giving him a proper and reasonable explanation but his anticipation was repaid with babbling nonsense.
Su Lianyue said earnestly, "What I'm saying is that if you treat me like the Senior Sister we met today, would you still care if you're sharing a goose with a Devil's Practice follower? This goose doesn't belong to the Devil's Practice. What crime did it commit?"
Xiao Chen shivered. Suddenly, all his past memories emerged in his mind like old dreams and he remembered that woman following the Devil's Practice: Hua Weiyang.
Back then, he didn't know Hua Weiyang
Su Lianyue turned her head and asked softly, "What's wrong?" "The night might be beautiful, but don't let it bewitch you." Xiao Chen walked up to her and made a pinching motion in the air. Su Lianyue looked at where he was pointing. Only then did she realize a thread tied between two trees, so thin that it was undetectable. The thread was just at the right height to slice her head off. "Frozen Soul Heavenly Silk." Cold sweat formed on Su Lianyue's back when she muttered these words. Had Xiao Chen not stop her, her head might have left her shoulders now. "Thank you, Young Master." She didn't expect that Xiao Chen could detect such a hidden thread like the Frozen Soul Heavenly Silk at a split second. It seemed that he wasn't as simple as he presented. "Shh…" Xiao Chen made a shushing motion and patted her shoulder, indicating for her to squat down. In the distance, a corpse herder was leading twenty more corpses tow
Multi-colored sunlight erupted from the southwestern side of the mountain range, with countless white rays of light beaming from within and illuminating the horizon. Inside those pillars of light were faint, flickering, and constantly transforming rays of light in seven colors. It was a breathtaking sight. The twenty or so pursuers from the Corpse Refinery Sect stared at the unnatural phenomena taking place in the southwest direction, dumbstruck. They seemed to have forgotten Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue altogether. One of them said, "The extraordinary treasure is born! Hurry, return to the sect and inform the Elders!" The rest said little after recovering their senses. Without even sparing Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue a glance, they hastily flew back to their Sect on their swords. Staring at the flickering seven-colored lights above the mountain range, Xiao Chen was suddenly felt dazzled. "Let's go and have a look!" The two of them re
"Young Master, why aren't you speaking anymore..." Su Lianyue's voice reverberated inside the forest, so soft and gentle it seemed like she was trying to melt the entire place. Xiao Chen must have inhaled something, for he was becoming increasingly dizzy. Staring at the woman's snow-white neck, all he wanted to do was take a bite out of it. Her neck... Her neck... Wait, something was wrong! "Take this, you evil creatures!" Xiao Chen pushed her aside with tremendous force and instantly whipped out his Unsullied Immortal's Sword. The sword flared with a dazzling white light, scaring Su Lianyue so much that she turned pale. Before she could run, the sword whizzed, transformed into a white light, and flew toward her. It pierced through her with a sharp cutting noise. "Su Lianyue" immediately turned into a three-tailed fox. The creature made a panicked escape, disappearing amid the fog. Xiao Chen put away his Unsullied Sword. He was
After a long time, Xiao Chen finally felt himself landing on the ground. His vision also cleared up. What appeared in front of him was the opening to a quiet valley, filled with towering trees and green grass cushioning the forest floor. There were gigantic flowers of every color imaginable everywhere. The flowers were particularly thick and solid, some of them even as tall as a human. They fluttered as wind swept them. These must be the rumored Exotic Man-eating Flowers. "You're finally here? I thought you wandered off elsewhere." Su Lianyue stood next to a bluestone stele, gazing into the distance. The breeze swept her, billowing her sleeves. She was the very picture of a fairy in the human world. Xiao Chen walked up to her. "You jest, Fairy." He stared into the distance, where all he saw was range upon range of towering mountains that seemed endless. "The Rancorous Qi here is intense. We must be within the vicinity of Ghost-wailing Hill."
"Swoosh!" It was the sound of someone jumping from the tree. Then there came a voice carrying a hint of mirth. "What a coincidence. So you're here too, Brother Xiao and Fairy Su." The Unsullied Sword and the Purple Jade Flute returned to their owners. Su Lianyue smiled. "So it's Brother Seven Killings. You should've informed us about your arrival beforehand. See, we weren't able to welcome you properly." In the dark of the night, a man dressed in red strolled up to them. In his hand was a gleaming steel fan and on his face was a faint smile. Seven Killings walked to the bonfire and smiled at Xiao Chen. "Brother Xiao, we meet again." "Yes, we meet again," Xiao Chen replied placidly, a cold glint flitting across his pupils. To think that he didn't notice this man approaching them. Like Su Lianyue, he must have not shown his true strength in the siege against Danyang Zi that night. Su Lianyue said with a smile, "In the past two da
Disciples from both the Light and Dark sides gathered over from a great distance away after a while. From the cluster of figures, there were about 3000 of them, and everyone was shook as they lifted their heads dazedly to gaze at the Divine Tree of Seven Colors. It should only have existed in the Heavens; what were the odds of them actually being able to see one in the Mortal Realm? Some of them tried to climb the divine tree but were all blocked from doing so by the Seven Colored Light shielding the tree. At this moment, the disciples had formed into two camps that stood facing off against each other, with Immortal Swords and magic treasures in hand. Both camps were evenly matched in terms of numbers and neither dared to make any reckless move for the same reason. Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue hid behind a huge rock, and the former's brows were tightly furrowed. His gaze fell on the Seven Colored Divine Tree and he remained motionless while muttering, "There
In a spot far away, Xiaoyue and Seven Killings were engaged in a titanic battle. She narrowed her eyes to see the Divine Tree nearly uprooted by three people, and from her experience, she knew that it possessed immense suppressive abilities. She could use it to suppress that person from Thousand Feathers Sect who had died a few millennia ago! She swept her duster as she thought about this to block Seven Killing's attack and shot toward the Divine Tree light a bolt of green light. Her opponent would not allow her to leave so easily, however, and tried to launch another attack to stop her. Xiaoyue blocked it away and replied coldly, "If the extraordinary treasure fell in that person's hands tonight, neither you nor I can even dream of obtaining it!" Obviously, she was referring to Xiao Chen. Seven Killings looked far away at the Tree and furrowed his brows. Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, Xiaoyue unleashed her Coalesced Colors Equa
Xiao Chen raised his saber to block the Corpse King's fearsome sword stroke, and he immediately felt as though a huge mountain was crashing down upon him. He was forced to retreat by this immensely powerful force and only managed to steady himself after retreating for about 30 meters. His heart sank as he realized that he Corpse King possessed more than a millennia's worth of Malicious Grudges and had absorbed a great deal of blood and Rancorous Qi from the slain cultivators earlier on. He had no way of striking it. On the other side, the Perfected Immortal Rising Void and Heavenly Eagle King had just earned a moment to catch their breath when the Corpse King came attacking again. In their haste, they could only dodge flurriedly, while the Corpse King charged directly into the crowd of cultivators. He could even fly and tunnel through the ground, creating a pool of corpses everywhere he went, while blood kept flowing toward his body. The entire Ghost-wail
