Chapter 652 You've wanted to go be with her for a long time
Unexpectedly, with his current abilities, he was able to deduce his location. He transformed into a system and hid in Shen Qingqing's foreign soul, without even the Heavenly Dao noticing!
But... Hmph, so what if he knows? So what if he's lured into a trap? No matter how powerful he is, with his current cultivation level, it's a pipe dream to think he can defeat him.
The Demon Lord gathered his demonic energy, no longer wanting to contend with Qingzhi, and prepared to unleash a full-force attack to shatter him along with the sealing array.
But to his utter surprise, Qingzhi was waiting there not to "defeat" him, but to perish together with him.
No wonder the Outer Realm is so deserted.
No wonder the elders who were stationed in the outer realms were not around the great formation.
He initially dismissed it, thinking it was due to his meticulous planning and lack of deep thought, but unexpectedly, he made a mistake.
Seeing that he finally understood and realized his intentions, Qingzhi lowered his glassy eyes, which were clear and cold, without any resentment or pleasure about his upcoming fate, only an empty coldness, as if he was just walking his return journey that was five hundred years late.
A sudden burst of blinding white light erupted from his body, and thousands of sword shadows transformed into a torrent of starlight, instantly engulfing the twisted and ferocious black mist.
In the blood-red sky, only the Demon Lord Shen Yuan's unwilling roar remained.
"Do not--!"
The starry sky shone brightly, rushing towards the golden array and merging with it. The array trembled, then its light shifted, becoming even more dazzling, radiant, and mysterious.
And this chaotic land beyond the heavens fell silent for countless millennia.
-
In the Snow Pavilion in the middle of the lake, Ji Yan, who had been sitting silently and solemnly drinking tea in front of Shi Yunyu, suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand. He looked down at the blood-stained tea in his hand, and after a long time, he closed his eyes.
"The inside-outside attack failed?" Shi Yunyu chuckled, the ribbons fluttering in the wind brushing against his shoulders, making a soft rustling sound.
Ji Yan turned to look at him, his eyes cold and deep: "So you knew all along."
Shi Yunyu found it amusing: "You've been asking me to find the barrier key and then to find someone. Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I can't guess what you're up to?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you if you talk to me like that?"
Shi Yunyu tilted her head slightly, her expression languid, and her voice casual: "Useless people, do as you please."
Ji Yan stared intently at him until the lanterns outside the pavilion flickered, casting chaotic light and shadows. Only then did he suddenly come to his senses and slowly stand up.
He turned his head and looked at the withered and desolate lotus pond.
After a long silence, her voice trembled slightly: "You should leave."
Now it was Shi Yunyu's turn to be stunned, and she looked up in surprise.
"You really won't kill me?"
"Say one more word, and your life will be spared."
Shi Yunyu certainly didn't want to die, even though he had long been prepared to face death.
He stood up, glanced at Ji Yan's retreating figure, then turned and walked out of the pavilion. The frozen lake water rippled beneath his feet.
When he reached the other side of the pond, he suddenly heard a light, questioning voice from the opposite bank—"Are you Brother Stone?"
Shi Yunyu paused slightly, then continued walking.
He did not answer his question.
There is no need for that now.
In this battle, it will be either the demon race that perishes or they themselves die.
No one has a way out.
Ji Yan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with such desolation and sorrow that they were almost overflowing after Shi Yunyu left. He tried for a long time, but still couldn't hold back the tears welling up in his eyes.
Under a clear blue sky, amidst withered water and faded flowers, he alone was trapped in a cage, with nowhere to hide.
"Father, what do you want your son to do..."
The Tianqian Sect, a thousand miles away.
Without hesitation, Jiang Liqian rushed towards Qimingzhai. As soon as she saw the tall pavilion hidden in the sunlight, she felt a pang of pain in her heart and fell off the Shitian Sword.
Her pale, colorless face was submerged in mud. She lay on the ground, staring blankly for a long time.
Suddenly, she seemed to snap out of her daze, gritted her teeth and got up. As a sword cultivator, she even forgot how to control her sword and stumbled towards the entrance to the Outer Realm.
"Halt! This is a forbidden area of the sect. No unauthorized entry is permitted." A golden shield was erected in front of her, blocking her path.
Jiang Liqian raised her head.
The person who stopped her was taken aback when they saw her appearance, and turned their head away without feeling sorry for her.
"Don't cry." A sigh drifted out.
Jiang Liqian then realized that her face was already ice-cold. She wiped it haphazardly with her sleeve, pleading in her voice, "Let me in, my master is inside, I have to go, I have to go in!"
The eleventh elder shook his head.
"The sect leader has decreed that no one is allowed to enter the Outer Heavens Domain, and those who violate this order will be severely punished."
Jiang Liqian clenched her fists in hatred, her eyes bloodshot. Suddenly, as if she had grasped a lifeline, she frantically handed the sect leader's token in her arms to him: "Now, now I am the sect leader, I want to go in, you can't stop me!"
"Step aside!"
The eleventh elder paused for a moment, then shook his head: "The ceremony has not yet taken place, and your status is not yet established. I cannot let you in."
Jiang Liqian drew the Heavenly Sword and held it to his neck: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The eleventh elder was not angry at her actions, but sighed deeply again.
“Junior nephew, even if you get past me, you still won’t be able to enter the Outer Heaven Domain. The sect leader ordered all the elders guarding the God and Demon Sealing Array to be recalled early this morning and are stationed around the damaged barrier of the Outer Heaven Domain. You won’t be able to get through.”
The sword in her hand trembled, Jiang Li's eyes reddened, and a murderous aura raged around her. She didn't care about any of that. If one person stood in her way, she would cut them down; if ten people stood in her way, she would cut them down. Today, no one could stop her. She had to see Qingzhi; she had to see him!
Too many questions, too much resentment, too much bitterness were all accumulating in her heart. She couldn't accept that he was leaving like this. What was she supposed to do?
Must she suffer the consequences alone again?!
She's had enough!
Her expression suddenly darkened, and Jiang Liqian raised her sword to make a move. Just then, a low shout came from behind.
"Jiang Liqian, stop!"
Then another figure landed in front of them.
Wisps of smoke curl upwards, and the bamboo shadows are sparse and elegant.
Jiang Liqian's eyes, which were gradually turning fierce, froze.
"Listen to the wind..."
Jiang Yueming quickly arrived from behind. Upon seeing the person in front of Jiang Liqian, he frowned slightly and pulled Jiang Liqian back a step.
“He is not Tingfeng, he is the Elder of the Pavilion, Juanjun.”
Do you cherish me?
Jiang Liqian had never heard of this name in the Tianqian Sect, nor had she ever seen the true face of the Elders' Pavilion Master. He, he actually looked exactly like Tingfeng!
No, it was Tingfeng who used his appearance.
But none of that matters now. Even if Tingfeng tries to stop her here, she won't stand a chance!
Jiang Yueming saw through her thoughts and squeezed her arm tighter again.
“Jiang Liqian, it’s no use. I’ve already talked to him. His mind is made up. We can’t…” He trailed off, his voice hoarse.
"Qingzhi, you ruined my disciple, you ruined me, are you going to ruin yourself too?"
"This is my responsibility as the sect leader of the Tianqian Sect."
"What bullshit responsibility? The sect can't do without you right now, you know that!"
"...Junior Brother Yueming, I'm sorry, I've owed you these words for a long time, and I probably won't have the chance to say them again in the future..."
"Why are you saying all that lofty stuff? You just wanted to be with her all along, you just don't want to live anymore, you're just selfish! Among your fellow disciples, you're the most selfish and cold-hearted one..."
"……sorry."】
