Chapter 486 How could she accept this?
Suddenly, Xin Xin flew out of Jiang Liqian's heart. Her cute little face was expressionless, and she hovered coldly in front of her. Her big eyes seemed to have lost their pupils, turning into an incomparably dark darkness, as if they could penetrate into the depths of a person's soul.
The Xin Xin at this moment is not the Xin Xin that Jiang Liqian knew.
She was like a true inner demon.
It carries a terrifying, irresistible, deep, cold darkness that draws people in.
[Ding! Master's inner demon backlash value has increased by 5%, currently at 6%.]
[Ding! Master's inner demon backlash value has increased by 10%, currently at 16%.]
[Ding! Master's inner demon backlash value has decreased by 7%, currently at 9%.]
Jiang Liqian gripped the golden key tightly in her hand, her whole body trembling in the desolate wind of the wilderness forest, her eyes glowing red and purple, as if she was desperately resisting something.
Upon seeing this, Dongwu raised an eyebrow, but his eyes turned colder. His slender, pale fingers bent again, carrying an unyielding authority.
Jiang Liqian staggered forward abruptly, her eyes bloodshot and almost forming beads of blood that flowed down.
In her mind, a cold and ruthless voice repeatedly described her inner demon level.
[Ding! Master's inner demon backlash value has increased by 30%, currently at 39%.]
[Ding! Little Master's inner demon backlash value has decreased by 5%, currently at 34%.]
[Ding! Master's inner demon backlash value has increased by 50%, currently at 84%.]
Just when Jiang Liqian was in the most pain, another person suddenly flew in from the horizon. Looking at him from afar, a desperate hope suddenly appeared in her eyes. Ignoring her throbbing headache, she ran towards him in a disheveled state.
"Where is Bei Yao? Where is Bei Yao?!"
Stone paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and, with a sorrowful look, placed a handful of soil into her hands.
No one speaks.
Jiang Liqian did not ask any more questions.
Stone did not answer again.
Only icy tears rolled down Jiang Liqian's face, landing on a thin handful of soil in her hand.
Lianlian's last wish was to be buried with Beiyao, to share the same bed in life and the same grave in death. But she didn't even have time to finish her wish before her body turned into points of light that she could no longer grasp.
It's laughable that she considered herself a prodigy, yet in the end she couldn't even fulfill her elder sister's last wish.
She hoped that perhaps Bei Yao wasn't dead yet, but just seriously injured and needed them to save him. How could he possibly abandon Lian Lian?
But he's really gone.
No remains of the body, only a handful of yellow earth to express our sorrow.
How could this be?
How did that happen?
What was just a chance encounter turned into a final farewell!
How could she possibly accept this...?
"Li Qian, Jiang Li Qian, calm down! What's wrong with you?"
"Jiang Liqian! Jiang Liqian!"
She could hear nothing anymore; all she could see was an endless cloud of blood mist, and the key she was clutching in her hand was burning hot.
Shi Tou was horrified, completely bewildered as to why she would suddenly attack him, and why every move she made was deadly.
As he barely managed to dodge, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of her face.
His breath hitched.
Her eyes, her eyes...
Suddenly looking up at Dongwu, who was locked in a fierce battle with Elder Tingchen in mid-air, his stone-like eyes darkened abruptly, turning icy cold.
Demons!
Demonic energy!
He's using demonic energy to control Jiang Liqian!
Dongwu, however, couldn't help but frown slightly. He cast spells several times, wanting Jiang Liqian to give him the key first, and then have a good internal battle with these two righteous sects in front of him, preferably to the point of mutual destruction, so that he could kill them both in one fell swoop.
But after trying several times, the results were minimal.
This shouldn't be happening. He clearly sensed the strong demonic energy within her, which he had stirred up. She should be completely out of her mind and at his beck and call right now.
what happened?
Elder Tingchen, who was sparring with Dongwu, also noticed that Jiang Liqian was not right. He acted decisively, flicking his finger to knock her unconscious. With a flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind swept her and Shitou into the teleportation array formed in the air.
"Take her back to the Tianqian Sect and hand her over to the sect leader."
The light from the teleportation array vanished instantly in the howling sandstorm.
Seeing the key that was about to be in his hands fly away, Dongwu was furious.
She wanted to chase after him, but Tingchen stopped her firmly.
"You old fool, you couldn't do anything to me five hundred years ago, and now you think you can deal with me with just a puppet clone? I think it's not enough that your Tianqian Sect has lost a bunch of people. You need to be massacred again before you know what it means to be shrewd and what it means to be a wise man who knows when to yield!"
Dongwu gritted his teeth, abandoned his playful thoughts, unleashed a burst of demonic energy, and attacked Tingchen without holding back.
The two, who were initially evenly matched, quickly exchanged ten moves before Tingchen's body was pierced by demonic energy and suddenly exploded into dust.
Dongwu smiled cruelly, his five fingers gripping an irregularly shaped puppet heart. With a forceful squeeze, Tingchen, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood in Tinghe Pavilion, a thousand miles away. The wooden patterns of the puppet stretched from his palm all the way to his entire face.
In an instant, countless tiny cracks appeared all over his body.
-
The sun blazed fiercely, the sky was cloudless, and my skin cracked from the scorching heat. As far as the eye could see, the endless desert stretched out before me, without a single oasis or lake in sight, let alone any source of water to quench my thirst.
Luo Qing'an helped Fu Wennian walk with difficulty across the barren desert, their steps uneven. The two, who were usually very particular about etiquette, were now dressed in tattered and dirty clothes, showing no trace of their former ethereal beauty.
Both of their faces were covered in dust, and their hair was a mess. Luo Qing'an even tore off a piece from her dress and tied her hair up casually, leaving no hairpins or jewelry, only the most practical thing—that wouldn't get in her way.
"Second Senior Brother, there's a shady spot ahead. Let me help you sit down there so you can meditate and regulate your breathing to ease your injuries."
Fu Wennian swallowed hard, his throat dry and sore, and shook his head: "No, we have to get out of here as soon as possible. We must...we must report the intelligence we have gathered to the sect leader. We can't delay."
Luo Qing'an completely disagreed with him, and her tone became extremely harsh: "Fu Wennian, if you don't rest and meditate, you'll die before you even return to the sect!"
After saying that, without waiting for Fu Wennian's agreement, she forcefully helped him walk towards a huge cactus forest not far away.
Fu Wennian couldn't go against her wishes, so he had no choice but to comply.
As he staggered along, he suddenly sighed helplessly and chuckled softly.
"What are you laughing at?" Luo Qing'an asked in an unfriendly tone.
Fu Wennian laughed and said, "It seems that I have always listened to your orders since I was a child. Your temper has always been so bad. If I don't do what you want, you stare at me and cry, insisting that I give in. But you love to put on a gentle and lovely act in front of others, like a well-bred lady. I don't know how many people have been deceived by you."
"I am gentle and lovely by nature, you are not allowed to ruin my reputation!"
"Good good..."
