EBE Chapter 1467 The boy is still the same boy
Chapter 1467 The boy is still the same boy
Although he was somewhat bewildered by these unbelievable and explosive news, Xie Baiyi knew himself very well.
This was indeed a choice he could make.
From the day he joined the Lingjian Sect, he followed his master's teachings.
To eliminate demons and uphold the righteous path, with a righteous heart.
Regardless of whether he was facing Qu Yimian or not, to use an inappropriate analogy, even if it were his few good-for-nothing junior brothers who dared to do such a wrong thing, he would not show any mercy.
He might be disappointed, or he might feel heartbroken.
But Xie Baiyi never forgets who he is.
The words "personally passed down" carry immense weight.
Therefore, compared to being questioned face-to-face by Qu Yimian, what surged up in his heart after the initial shock subsided was more relief.
Fortunately, he didn't actually do anything foolish or wrong, otherwise, if it were exposed now, he would be absolutely in deep trouble.
The thought of being ridiculed by the disciples of several sects in the future made Xie Baiyi's scalp tingle.
...Maybe we shouldn't?
He may not be remembered in history, but he certainly doesn't want to be remembered for his infamy.
Just as his thoughts were racing, he heard Qu Yimian suddenly sneer, "You're talking about the Way of Heaven?"
When she mentioned those two words, she spoke each one with resentment in her voice.
"Of course, if it weren't for the intervention of Heaven, how could I have become like this? It's all thanks to it!"
Qu Yimian had been living a smooth and successful life for too long. Even though she didn't know she had the protagonist's halo, she still managed to glimpse some of the 'truth' during her cultivation journey.
She always felt that she was blessed by heaven and could achieve whatever she wanted.
Until reality slapped her hard in the face.
Heaven was greatly angered.
Gu Xia traded her inability to enter the cycle of reincarnation for a chance that could still be salvaged.
Before Qu Yimian could recall those memories, she once again embarked on the exact same path as before.
The so-called female protagonist halo shattered in an instant, and the ruthless nature of the world gave Gu Xia the opportunity to 'judge' her.
How is this possible?
Qu Yimian found it hard to accept the crisis she was in, and what she had obtained from the Heavenly Demon fueled her even greater ambitions.
"It was Heaven's unfairness first, so of course you can't blame me!"
Xie Baiyi: "..."
what?
He was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Such familiar rhetoric. If I remember correctly, she used to think it was all Gu Xia's fault, then she said it was because of them. Now, she's blaming Heaven?
What kind of purely wasteful personality is this?
When something happens, don't panic, don't reflect on yourself, just shift the blame to others and that's it, right?
Xie Baiyi frowned, looked at her carefully, and found that she really thought so. His voice turned cold, "So you really are stubborn and incorrigible."
It's okay to have a few ulterior motives; after all, let alone a direct disciple, there aren't that many perfect people in the world.
But to shift all the blame onto others just because of this, what kind of immortality is that?
No wonder that demon chose her back then.
One step wrong, step by step wrong.
However, in Xie Baiyi's view, such a person was not worthy of sympathy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said that, something seemed to have touched a nerve with the other person, and Qu Yimian's eyes fixed on his face again, and she suddenly laughed, "Stubborn to the end?"
“What a stubborn fool,” she said. “This is the second time I’ve heard that exact same phrase.”
At that moment, Xie Baiyi slashed between the two of them with his sword, leaving a deep sword mark and severing their previous friendship.
At this point, the distinction between them became clear, and their final exchange consisted of only this sentence.
*
Qu Yimian laughed until tears streamed down her face. She took a step forward and suddenly raised her voice, "It's one thing for others to oppose me, but why do you have to do this too?"
"Why can't I do this?"
Xie Baiyi at this moment was not the same person he used to be, so he didn't have so many considerations. He was just confused, genuinely confused.
In his view, Qu Yimian had not only betrayed the cultivation world but also caused so much trouble, making her a definite enemy. Of course, he wouldn't have any deep entanglements with her.
So how can we talk about 'opposing her like everyone else'?
Surely Qu Yimian doesn't think she has to stand with her after she did something like that, right?
hiss.
Xie Baiyi suddenly felt a chill, wondering if she had some misunderstanding about him.
What? Does he look like the kind of stupid person who's not thinking straight?
But the next second, Qu Yimian's voice, filled with resentment and desperate strain, reached her ears—
"But back then... we were clearly a match made in heaven in the eyes of everyone in the cultivation world."
It was so close, just a little bit more.
In the end, she never expected to lose everything overnight.
Rumbling--
Xie Baiyi's face turned green in an instant.
It was completely green.
It was as if a thunderbolt had suddenly struck him from mid-air, hitting him squarely on the head.
The boy, who had been calm and composed just moments before, now seemed to have cracked his expressionless face.
"what???"
He was clearly badly hurt by that statement.
Shen Weixun was also seriously injured.
His dark eyes flickered slightly, and he turned his head to the side, his mind, which had been burning with intense heat, cleared up for a moment.
However, he quickly realized that he wasn't the one who had been injured.
Take a breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
After a long silence, Shen Weixun's lips moved slightly, her voice so soft it seemed it could be blown away by the wind at any moment, "...Wow."
This is explosive news.
Xie Baiyi suddenly turned her head, staring at him with dead fish eyes, "Tell me, what are you yelling about?"
"It's nothing." Shen Weixun turned his face away nonchalantly. "The wind is too strong, you must have misheard."
Xie Baiyi: "..."
He only has a wind spirit root, do you think he believes it or not?
Qu Yimian, however, seemed to feel the impact wasn't strong enough. As if immersed in those unbearable memories, countless emotions surged in her eyes. "How could you not help me..."
Clearly, this is the reason for her greatest resentment.
The phrase "a match made in heaven" is far too malicious. It's unclear what Xie Baiyi would have thought in his previous life, but now Xie Baiyi's vision went black.
In this tense situation, the first thought that came to his mind was actually relief.
Fortunately, only he and Shen Weixun were present at the moment as his personal disciples.
Fortunately, Gu Xia and the others were not here and did not hear these thunderous words.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even dare to imagine whether any new 'rumors' would spread about him in the cultivation world in the future.
The Five Sects are renowned for their ability to discredit their rivals.
Thankfully, based on his understanding of Shen Weixun's character, this person was quite different from his other unscrupulous fellow disciples.
He couldn't hear anything else Qu Yimian said; his mind was filled with the phrase "a match made in heaven," which kept flashing through his head like a screen.
Kill him, right now.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Shen Weixun couldn't stand the stare any longer, so she turned her head and saw his lips twitching. He quickly seemed to have made up his mind.
Xie Baiyi released his hand and gripped the sword tightly. "I think it's okay to be impulsive sometimes."
Shen Weixun raised one of his long eyebrows slightly, "For example?"
"For example, if you still want to fight," Xie Baiyi said expressionlessly, "please take me with you."
"You probably feel like killing someone right now, don't you?"
He certainly knows him well enough.
Shen Weixun: "Deal."
After the two sword cultivators reached a consensus, they instantly turned their swords around.
In the suddenly chilly atmosphere, Qu Yimian's expression froze, then she coldly curled her lips, "What? You want to kill me?"
The demonic energy around them was menacing and grotesque. Although the place was bright and clear, the air seemed to gradually become viscous. Shen Weixun and Xie Baiyi both looked at her, suppressing all their emotions.
From their perspective, it was clear that despite Qu Yimian frequently stuffing pills into her mouth, her demonic energy was still on the verge of erupting.
It seems like it could get out of control at any moment.
Xie Baiyi quickly realized this.
She must have really suffered a lot of damage in that battle with Gu Xia.
The two immediately exchanged a knowing glance.
They might be able to take advantage of this opportunity.
At their peak, they would have no chance of escaping Qu Yimian's clutches.
But what if the other party is already preoccupied with their own problems?
In any case, the word "wait for death" has never existed in the dictionary of sword cultivators.
The shock and trauma he had just experienced seemed to be just an illusion. Xie Baiyi lowered his eyes, and Qu Yimian could clearly tell that her words had not left any impact on him.
Her already pale face changed again, and now it was truly bloodless.
"Why?" Qu Yimian murmured.
She did capture Xie Baiyi because of some unspeakable obsession in her heart, and also because she wanted to take the opportunity to answer the question that had troubled her for a long time.
But it wasn't until this moment that she finally gave up completely.
The boy is still the same boy.
When righteousness reaches its extreme, it is also—
Ruthless to the extreme.
"It's no use." Qu Yimian's expression also turned cold, letting the demonic energy stir. "No one can find out where this place is. As long as I don't release them, even if you kill me, you won't be able to get out."
Shen Weixun calmly drew his sword. "Then let's try."
The surging demonic energy and the rich spiritual energy collided suddenly, and the clear sound of swords rang in our ears. Xie Baiyi and Shen Weixun attacked at the same time, and flying sand and stones swept over.
The three of them were locked in combat in an instant.
