EBE Chapter 198 His Kunlun
Chapter 198 His Kunlun
Qianhanshan was stunned.
"Not really..."
Suddenly, a feeling of powerless anger and embarrassment surged into her heart.
She glared at Qianhanshan fiercely, her eyes flickering with blood, yet also shimmering with a transparent, watery light. "Yes, I am dull, I am naive, I am blockheaded, rigid and dogmatic. I am unpopular, no one, no one is willing to stand on my side... But am I wrong? Was the choice I made wrong? Am I going to watch innocent people die? Am I going to abandon my fellow disciples, my fellow apprentices? Am I wrong because I don't want them to risk their lives in vain?"
She covered her head, and painful memories enveloped her with overwhelming hostility.
She was angry, she was uncomfortable, she was sad.
But in the end, all she managed to suppress was a confused, hoarse murmur: "Am I really... so evil?"
Why, why was no one willing to trust her unwaveringly?
[Ding! The young master's inner demon's backlash value has increased by 1%, and the current backlash value is 63%.]

[Ding! The young master's inner demon's backlash value has increased by 1%, and the current backlash value is 65%.]
Qianhanshan never expected that the little girl, whom he had not been able to control with threats or bribes, would become so miserable and lose her composure just because of his careless words as a joke.
The so-called inner demon arises from this.
He thought she would be his second senior brother.
It turned out not to be.
His senior brother would never be so confused.
That's why he left so decisively when Kunlun was destroyed!
His eyes darkened, he waved his sleeves, and a cold wind blew in from outside the palace in an instant.
Jiang Liqian trembled due to the wind, the bloodshot in her eyes dissipated, and she slowly regained her clarity.
Thinking of the scene just now, she couldn't help but clutch the corner of her clothes in fear.
If Qianhanshan wanted to kill her just now, she probably wouldn't have been able to fight back at all.
When did her willpower become so weak?
Is it the influence of inner demons?
Seeing Jiang Liqian's expression of doubt and regret, Qian Hanshan showed a rare kindness and answered her question: "The inner demon is your other side. The inner demon will devour your original heart, just like a person who possesses another body and eats the other person's soul. One day, it will be either you who lives or she who dies."
"Oh, maybe you would prefer her to become you and survive in this world."
"Impossible!" Jiang Liqian flatly denied. "I am a disciple of the Immortal Sect. How could I allow the inner demon to seize my mind and bring disaster to the world? If I can't defeat her, I would rather abandon my own cultivation and perish with her."
Qian Hanshan clapped his hands and laughed: "Well said, Senior Brother always tells me the same thing. He said that for the sake of the common people, for this world, he is willing to give up everything, even his cultivation, even becoming an immortal, even his life!"
Having said that, the overwhelming hatred that could no longer be concealed made countless darkness creep up the corners of his robe, knees, elbows... until it reached his bloodshot eyes even though he was deep in the light.
“But what he finally gave up was Kunlun.
"It's Kunlun..."
Being afraid of death and betraying one's oath, talking about saving the people and eliminating evil and defending justice is all fake!
He trusted him so much, and he took every word he said as his guiding principle, but he betrayed Kunlun, betrayed the home that raised them, and betrayed their relatives!
He only regretted that he couldn't be a beast and crush the hypocritical man's bones bit by bit, so that he could taste the bitterness of hell!
"Okay, enough nonsense, let's tell me your third question." There was no warmth in Qianhanshan's eyes, and even his hypocritical smile towards Jiang Liqian had diminished by nine points.
He seemed to be impatient...
Jiang Liqian looked at him, slowly took a step back, and the Zhenlingzhu returned to her hand.
"What if, say, I don't want to ask the third question?"
Qian Hanshan's smile froze for a moment, but he still managed to hold on to his last bit of temper and asked her, "Why? Don't you want to enter the Heart Mirror and bring your fellow disciples out?"
"After asking these three questions, can I really get her out?" Jiang Liqian stared into his eyes and asked calmly, word by word.
Qianhanshan said nothing.
She lowered her eyes, and for the first time, she imitated him, raising the corners of her lips with a smile that didn't reach her eyes: "After asking these three questions, I will also be trapped in the mirror of my heart and will never be able to get out, right?"
"You are a disciple of Kunlun, a powerful figure. You are willing to patiently chat with a junior like me, and even talk about your past. Isn't it strange? I don't think that a young disciple like me in the Qi Refining Stage has such great honor that you, a senior, would treat me differently and condescend to me."
Qianhanshan's expression finally turned cold.
The light surrounding him began to tremble restlessly.
"What do you want to say?"
Jiang Liqian took another step back. This time, she raised her head and looked straight into his empty eyes: "Senior, you are already dead."
There is no body temperature, no heartbeat, and no pulse of a living person.
He is a dead person.
Qianhanshan was stunned. The cold wind outside the palace blew his clothes and lifted his black hair that hung vertically on his shoulders.
Countless lights and shadows flashed in his eyes, and his handsome profile still vaguely resembled the high-spirited young man he was a thousand years ago.
"I know." He said softly after a long while.
He knew he was dead.
He died a long, long time ago.
He died on the way down the mountain to look for his senior brother.
He died after the fall of Kunlun.
There will never be him in this world again, and there will never be Kunlun again.
"A thousand years ago, Master calculated that the spiritual energy in this world was drying up, cause and effect were going against each other, and that an evil demon would soon descend upon the world, wreaking havoc on the common people and ushering in a great calamity.
"Kunlun is blessed by the immortals and gods, and worshipped by the people. It is bound to stand at the forefront of the great catastrophe of destruction. Master said that this is Kunlun's duty.
"So, Master and all my fellow disciples activated the Kunlun Forbidden Formation—the Qiankun sacrificed the living, reversing yin and yang. Of the 1,800 people in Kunlun, not a single one retreated. They sacrificed their entire cultivation and souls, reshaping their spiritual veins and reversing cause and effect, earning a glimmer of hope for this world."
Qianhanshan's voice choked, and his eyes, which no longer shed tears, turned red.
He clenched his hands tightly to prevent himself from going crazy due to excessive grief.
It's Kunlun...
His Kunlun.
"I kowtowed desperately to Master, not asking them to give up the sacrifice, but only asking them not to leave me alone. I am also a disciple of Kunlun, and I am willing to sacrifice myself for Kunlun, and die for the so-called justice of the people.
"Kunlun is such a big place, why did you choose to keep me here?"
