Longyao Lingguang bared his teeth and waved his claws, with saliva flowing from his mouth. He glared at Longyao Lingheng like Lingheng was the enemy who killed his father. The disciples around were shocked by this scene. No one dared to approach them.
With a Bang, Longyao Lingheng only felt that the body of the person holding him with both became soft, and fell down quietly. Longyao Lingheng hurriedly caught Longyao Lingguang and looked at Hai Kuanglang in shock.
“All this fuss.” Hai Kuanglang said contemptuously, “Won’t it be resolved if you just knocked him out?”
Longyao Lingheng: “…”
However, in the next moment, inside the shield that originally blocked the evil creatures, several black and purple figures appeared out of thin air. They were immediately killed by the disciples. Suddenly, the scene plunged into new chaos.
“Damn, just who is it?” Lin Xuanzhi gnashed his teeth and killed the evil creatures while looking for the culprit hiding in the dark.
Only an evil Qi cultivator could sense the existence of another evil Qi cultivator. He had always been a spiritual Qi cultivator. Without the assistance of magic treasures, it was simply too difficult to find the existence of an evil Qi cultivator by feeling alone. The sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling could be heard, and the Heaven’s Wail and Earth Fissure were about to tear the whole barrier enchantment into pieces. Seeing that this entire Dragon Tomb was about to collapse—.
“Dage!”
A voice piercing the heavens came from a distance. Yan Tianhen was like a lightning bolt, cutting through the thick purple and black evil Qi, and rushing towards the shield,
Lin Xuanzhi turned his head and saw that Yan Tianhen’s eyes were covered with purple. Before he could speak, he saw Yan Tianhen waving a purple whip and swinging it towards the shield.
Unexpectedly, he whipped Master Yuquan’s face, which nearly made the other party stumble and fall–
“You tick fishing in troubled waters. Crawl out here for Laozi and fight me to the death!”
Lin Xuanzhi’s pupil suddenly shrunk. He saw that Master Yuquan, who initially had a mysterious and unfathomable posture, actually covered his bleeding face and laughed. “Hehehe…Hahahahaha!”
His laughter gradually grew louder, and he smashed the shield in front of him with a slap. He stepped on the black and purple evil Qi and flew towards Yan Tianhen who was also standing above the evil Qi.
“I finally found you, I finally found you! Youshan Lingyu, die!” Master Yuquan laughed wildly, as if he had gone crazy. He raised both his hands, condensed the evil Qi into evil creatures, and rushed towards Yan Tianhen.
“Ah Hen!” Hai Kuanglang’s heart almost stopped.
There were so many evil creatures that they formed a tidal wave, more than enough to bury Yan Tianhen alive.
“Another old acquaintance? Ha, still playing tricks.”
What everyone did not expect was that Yan Tianhen just sneered and made a hand seal. Then half of the evil Qi behind him also condensed into evil creatures, but these evil creatures were not human-shaped, but rather– beasts. They all looked like tigers and cats. They landed on all fours and growled as they started biting the group of humanoid evil creatures.
For a while, the two evil Qi cultivators fought each other.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Their faces paled in amazement, but they also felt like they were saved.
Yan Tianhen said to Lin Xuanzhi telepathically, “Dage, I’ll help you open the time and space gate together from here. I can’t beat this evil Qi cultivator. I can only distract his attention first and then try to escape.”
Lin Xuanzhi had a thousand words he wanted to say, but when they reached his lips, he only said: “Pay attention to safety. Don’t push yourself. When I say withdraw, run away in time.”
Yan Tianhen: “Okay.”
Without further ado, Lin Xuanzhi immediately sent out his spiritual Qi, which suddenly struck the top of the sky. For a moment, the golden light suddenly rose, and the beam of light soared into the sky with the great momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers.
He saw another light beam from Yan Tianhen breaking through the thick purple evil Qi, and the two light beams, one purple and one gold, entangled in the high sky, and rushed out of the big hole in the sky where the purplish-black Qi had been constantly erupting, abruptly tearing open a passageway.
“Go!” Lin Xuanzhi said to Hai Kuanglang and Fu Li, “Take them into the space passage and leave!”
“Want to run?” Master Yuquan realized Lin Xuanzhi’s idea. His eyes narrowed and he immediately flew away and slapped Yan Tianhen heavily.
His palm strike seemed to contain a thousand bolts of lightning. The dust filled the sky for hundreds of miles. Yan Tianhen didn’t dare to block that head-on. He immediately gathered the evil Qi around him and condensed into a huge tiger in front of him, while he himself rolled aside quickly with a cat’s grace. Under the cover of the evil Qi, he slipped past Master Yuquan and slipped inside the protective shield.
One of Lin Xuanzhi’s hands grabbed Yan Tianhen. He looked at Yan Tianhen with horrified eyes and moved his lips, as if he had a thousand words to say, but he knew it was not time. He took a deep breath. “Let’s leave first.”
Yan Tianhen nodded.
The passage combined the strength of the two people, plus the very reliable Fu Li also lent a hand, and soon sent hundreds of people out of there.
The evil Qi tiger fought with Master Yuquan. At first, its momentum was extremely powerful. However, after a finger from Master Yuquan, it turned back into evil Qi. With a wave of his wide sleeve, it turned into another evil tiger, this time controlled by Yuquan, roared and rushed towards Yan Tianhen.
Lin Xuanzhi’s expression was cold and grave. He threw the Zhige sword, which was used as the eye for the shield array, and controlled it from afar. The Zhige sword’s edge cut through the air in the blink of an eye, and the fierce tiger, which had rushed towards Yan Tianhen, was pierced through its evil core.
Master Yuquan looked at Lin Xuanzhi with malicious eyes. “Huarong Sword Venerable, the person by your side is an evil Qi cultivator.”
Lin Xuanzhi pushed Yan Tianhen and threw the unprepared latter into the time and space passage. Watching Yan Tianhen disappear from his sight, he said in a cold voice: “So what? Compared with a creature like you who shrink its head and tail and can only use tricks to sneak attack, Ah Hen is magnanimous and kind-hearted. I love him even if he is an evil Qi cultivator.”
Master Yuquan couldn’t help laughing, as if he had heard some big joke.
“He is magnanimous and kind-hearted? Your eyes really have been covered by paper. Who is he? I think you know better than me. How much blood is in his hands and how many dead souls are under his sword? Chang Sheng Shixiong, after so many years, why are you still soft-hearted towards him?”
Master Yuquan’s face gradually blurred. There was a bit of hatred and unspeakable pain in his eyes as he glared at Lin Xuanzhi, as if with resentment and love. “Look at me. Take a look at what I’ve become when I was killed by him. I’ve become such a thing — neither human nor ghost. Who caused this damage? Isn’t it him?”
Lin Xuanzhi suddenly constricted his pupils. He took a few steps forward. After seeing the face that had faded from Yuquan’s appearance, he said incredulously, “You are… Fenglang?”
Cangdi Fenglang, his last real junior apprentice, was the little junior apprentice he took away from that shabby place.
Half of Cangdi Fenglang’s face had been covered with purple veins, like he’d been cursed and scarred from illusion arrays. The other half of his face was good, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, with its corners like a peach blossom. It was a face which could easily make people feel good.
Half god, half ghost: such a strong sense of contradiction made Lin Xuanzhi speechless for a moment.
“To think Shixiong actually remembers me, it’s really not easy.” Cangdi Fenglang gave a ghastly grin and showed his teeth. Under his feet were tens of thousands of evil spirits ready to go, and behind him was the billowing purple evil Qi. His long black hair fluttered in the breeze, like a deadly ghost crawling out of hell.
“How did you become like this?” Lin Xuanzhi was a little confused for a while. He personally gathered Fenglang’s body and buried him with his own hands. He was very certain that he was dead.
Cangdi Fenglang stretched out a left hand that resembled white bones. “How did I become like this? You can ask your magnanimous and kind-hearted good Lingyu! If it wasn’t for him harming me, how could I become like this, neither human nor ghost?!”
Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes sank. “He wouldn’t harm you.”
Cangdi Fenglang stared straight at Lin Xuanzhi with glaring purple eyes. “Shixiong, love really blinds people’s eyes and hearts. Just because I cultivated evil Qi, did I have to be killed by him? He didn’t even let my corpse off and used a necromantic technique so that I can neither live nor die, forever trapped in this terrible form. In order to cultivate evil Qi, he refined me into such a state and imprisoned me in the black abyss of the Seventh Domain, causing me to suffer a lot of humiliation and pain. I didn’t harm him, but he wanted to harm me. In the end, the person who harmed others got what he wanted, but who knows the pain I have suffered?”
Lin Xuanzhi’s brain was in a mess. On the one hand, he felt a little complicated because he saw the little younger martial brother he once cared for. On the other hand, he was saddened by the appearance and behavior of Cangdi Fenglang.
“If you are really bullied by him, you can come with me. I’ll ask for you. If what you said is true.. I will punish him and let him make amends to you.”
Lin Xuanzhi said solemnly, “But what are you doing now? Fenglang, you have always been that well behaved, clever, and sensible child in my heart. Do you still remember what Shixiong once taught you?”
“Shixiong said that if I was kind to others, others would be kind to me.” Cangdi Fenglang smiled gently and lamented: “Unfortunately, Youshan Lingyu is a madman. Even if I treated him like a senior martial brother from the bottom of my heart, he still hated me to the bone and wanted to crush my bones and ashes! Shixiong, you are so blinded that you never realized what he did behind your back. Did you really think that Yu Mingxu, the leader of Zhengyang Sect who almost became your Dao companion, encountered an accident during cultivation and died? Zhengyang Sect had three hundred sixty eight people. Lingyu killed them all in one night. Do you know about this?”
“Yu Mingxu?” Lin Xuanzhi had almost forgotten this person. He suddenly clenched his fist: “Lingyu was not present when Zhengyang Sect was destroyed.”
“Yeah, he was seriously ill, and you happened to be caring for him.” Cangdi Fenglang smiled contemptuously. “But Shixiong, do you know that the biggest difference between an evil Qi cultivator and other cultivators is that even though they are separated by thousands of miles away, anyone who has secretly planted evil creature puppets beforehand can move his fingers and lead them to slaughter everyone? Shixiong ah, Shixiong, you really love him to the bone. As for other people, for you, it’s fine if they die. They simply died in vain, didn’t they?”
