Inner Demons

Chapter 34: Life and death

Views:

Maybe there were too many people chasing and killing Xing Yusheng, and they had to hide their whereabouts one by one.

It took Mu Changting nearly four months to infiltrate into the depths of the Demon Race to find a clue, and to find out where Xing Yusheng is now.

Without the commander-in-chief of the Demon Lord, today's Demon Realm is divided into fragments, fighting each other, and the situation is quite complicated.

It is conceivable that Xing Yusheng, a young man who brought the number one monster under the command of the Demon Lord, appeared here, and Snake Gall still recognized him as the master, what kind of sensation and vigilance it would cause.

The snake gall was entangled in the cave, dozing off with eyes closed, Xing Yusheng sat aside and meditated, the black devilish energy enveloped him like a mist, but his face was calm, as if he was not affected by it at all.

With the help of Snake Gall, Xing Yusheng devoted himself to practice during this period, and has some experience in how to control the devil energy. It's just that the devilish energy in his body is extremely unstable, and if he wants to control it all, he can't do it overnight.

If a demon wants to become a fairy, he needs to cultivate his essence and cut his marrow for many years. If a fairy wants to become a demon, it takes only a moment of thought.

There is a thin line between the fairy and the devil, and there is an abyss below, once you fall into it, you can never turn back.

Xing Yusheng knew what he was doing but couldn't resist it. It would be better to be able to control the magic energy and be controlled by the magic energy, at least it would not hurt innocent lives.

In the silence, She Ying suddenly raised her head, staring firmly at the outside of the cave with a pair of light-colored golden pupils.

Snake Gall warned: "Someone is approaching outside."

Xing Yusheng slowly opened his eyes, his voice was low: "Can you see who it is?"

The light-colored golden pupils contracted slightly, and the snake gall suddenly smiled sarcastically: "It was the person you didn't allow me to touch him in the realm of the void that day."

Xing Yusheng was taken aback suddenly, and the blood on his face faded away.

Most of the desolate lands in the Demon Realm are overgrown with thorns and overgrown weeds. Mu Changting cut through the weeds with a long sword, and it was very difficult to walk step by step. When the long sword cut through the half-human-high grass again, the giant python's snake head suddenly rushed in front of him, opened its mouth wide at him, and continued to hiss in warning.

Mu Changting flew back, pointing his long sword straight, and said coldly: "I want to see Xing Yusheng, let him come out!"

More than half of Snake Ying's body was hanging in the air, and the snake's head was slightly hanging down, staring at him closely.

The giant python didn't take the initiative to attack, but whenever Mu Changting approached, he would bite him and force him back.

It was only then that Mu Changting realized what it meant to be stuck here, so he stopped talking and swung his sword straight up.

He is light in stature, and when he is flying and jumping, he looks for the dead corner of the snake gall. At the beginning, the snake gall blindly avoids self-protection, and finally after counting the swords in his body, he roars angrily and throws Xing Yusheng's instructions aside. In the end, he tried his best to fight Mu Changting.

Unexpectedly, after playing back and forth, Xing Yusheng suddenly flew over and blocked the front.

The young man's face was cold, and his eyes had already turned into light-colored golden pupils. He was full of demonic energy, even though he still looked so handsome, people couldn't find any resemblance between him and the past.

But after months of not seeing him, he was a completely different stranger.

Xing Yusheng said lightly: "If you come to arrest me for questioning, then you don't have to. You alone can't beat me at all."

Xing Yusheng spoke clearly, not at all insane, and Mu Changting's last hope was shattered.

He was silent for a while, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "I've come to ask you something."

Xing Yusheng stood with his hands behind his back, and his voice was cold: "For the sake of acquaintance, you can just ask."

Mu Changting carefully recognized the expression on his face, and his voice trembled slightly: "When you killed the junior brother, were you awake, or... still unconscious, being manipulated by others..."

Mu Changting quietly waited for his reply, and a strange silence spread between them.

Xing Yusheng suddenly smiled shortly and sarcasticly: "Brother, you have traveled thousands of miles to ask this silly question?" His eyes were cold and piercing, as if thousands of silver needles were piercing Mu Changting's heart at the same time.

Mu Changting couldn't help staring at him with wide eyes, and said bitterly, "A boring question? That's our little brother!"

Xing Yusheng said lightly: "So what, I am new to the magic way, and I always find someone to sacrifice blood. It is his own bad luck."

Mu Changting's whole body trembled, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "...animal!!!"

Xing Yusheng's body shook very slightly, but he controlled it very well, and Mu Changting was in a rage again, obviously not aware of the strangeness.

Pointing at Mu Changting's sword, he finally confirmed, "I'll ask you again. By saying that, you are admitting that you were not controlled by the devilish energy. Did you intentionally kill the younger brother that day?"

Xing Yusheng sneered coldly: "That's natural, otherwise how would I remember everything that happened at that time."

Mu Changting's eyes were flushed, and even the hand holding the sword trembled.

In Mu Changting's impression, although Xing Yusheng is reticent and cold and alienated, he has never done anything harmful to nature. Every time he thought of his miserable life experience, Mu Changting couldn't help caring for him more, but at this moment, Xing Yusheng was still the same Xing Yusheng, but it made people look disgusted and disgusted.

Mu Changting said coldly: "Follow me back to the Qingxin faction for trial!"

Xing Yusheng said lightly: "Joke, why did I go back with you for trial? Now that I am no longer a disciple of the Pure Heart Sect, why should they punish me. If you have nothing else to ask, senior brother, please leave on your own."

Mu Changting roared from behind: "Xing! Yu! Sheng!"

He wanted to chase after him, but dozens of bony withered hands suddenly appeared from under the soil, grabbing him firmly.

The moment he turned around, a streak of blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of Xing Yusheng's mouth, and there was an indelible grief in his eyes.

Even after walking far away, Mu Changting's hateful voice still lingered in his ears, like a sharp knife piercing Xing Yusheng's heart and grinding it bit by bit.

Snake Ying quietly followed beside him without saying a word.

After a long time, Xing Yusheng hoarse voice, and ordered in a low voice: "Snake Gall, you go and escort him out of the Demon Realm, I want him to return to the Pure Heart Sect unscathed."

Since then, the fact that Xing Yusheng defected to the faction is completely confirmed.

In the many years after that, not only the Pure Heart Sect, but even many other decent immortal families wanted to get rid of him quickly after hearing his name. Some people say that Xing Yusheng has flourished in the Demon Realm, and has a high reputation for subduing a group of demons. Some people say that he is extremely talented, and he has achieved great magic skills by chance. Others say that although he is young, he has a high cultivation base It is very possible to rule the Demon Realm again after the Demon Lord.

As for Mu Changting, except for going down the mountain once a year to find his master, most of the rest of the time will stay in the Qingxin sect and practice diligently. At the beginning, Fu Xifeng watched him practice day and night and would persuade him. Later, Seeing that he would lose sleep all night if he didn't vent his excess energy, he let him go.

Rolling around in the mundane world, experiencing life and death parting, conspiracy and calculation, people seem to grow up overnight.

Mu Changting still loves to laugh, but there are too many things hidden in his smile, less the innocence of his youth, more of the prudence and sophistication of a big brother.

Ever since it was confirmed that the sect master Xianzun Xie Yingjun had disappeared, the Elder Zhijie had temporarily taken over the position of sect master.

He, the acting head, holds Mu Changting very seriously, and has a faint desire to train him as the next successor. In addition to teaching Mu Changting to practice, he will tell him more about what has happened since the establishment of the Qingxin Sect. All kinds of things, there are some boring historical events in it, and there are also things that are extremely secret and cannot be understood by outsiders.

The elder holding the precepts often said to him: "Chang Ting, only by knowing the rise and fall of the sect can we bear the honor and disgrace of the sect."

Mu Changting kept this in mind, and also tried to help the precept elders share the chores of the mission.

However, occasionally when I went to Yeying Palace to report to the elder in charge of the sect, and saw Yun Yang, the proud disciple of the elder in charge of the precept, I still couldn't help but wonder why so many outstanding senior brothers did not choose him, but chose him instead.

Although most of the masters in the past were selected from the disciples who entered the house of the master, but now that the precept elder is acting as the master, the Yeying Palace can naturally follow the trend, and there is a possibility of becoming the master of the Pure Heart Sect.

After hearing his words, the elder holding the precept lightly stroked his long beard with his right hand, and a rare smile appeared on his face: "When your master was still in the Qingxin sect, he once told me that among the four disciples he took in, You are inferior to Xing Yusheng in terms of talent, and inferior to Fu Xifeng in terms of prudence, but if you want to choose one of you to entrust the Qingxin faction, that person must be you. Changting, you have a kind, upright, and tolerant heart. This is someone else. Including what Yunyang doesn't have, I believe that you can think of the common people and carry forward the Pure Heart School. This is my expectation for you, and it is also your master's expectation for you."

Soon, there were fewer and fewer things the Elder Zhijie could teach him. Later, he would even select a few books from Xie Yingjun's secret room for him to read and understand by himself.

Mu Changting pondered carefully, often sitting in front of the lamp for a long time, chewing through the words in the ancient book one by one, and then practiced.

There is no master, no junior, and no that cold person in Shouyang Palace, which makes it even more lonely and desolate. Mu Changting often feels as if there are only him and Fu Xifeng left here.

Looking back on the past was too uncomfortable, and he devoted himself to the way of cultivating immortals.

It can be said that his progress has been rapid, after six years, he is no match in the faction, and he has such a cultivation level at such a young age, it is amazing. It was also at this time that the Elder Zhijie began to abdicate to give way to the virtuous, and fully supported him in ascension to the head of the Qingxin Sect.

At that time, Mu Changting was twenty-five years old, and the whole world was in an uproar.

However, what is ridiculous is that he is the youngest person in the history of the Qingxin Sect to be in charge of a faction, and he is also the shortest person in office.

After being in charge for eight years, his sudden death is also a pity.

People at the time said that during the eight years in charge of the Qingxin Sect, Mu Changting mainly did several extraordinary things: for example, when he went down the mountain to find the whereabouts of the master, he rescued a three-year-old baby from the hands of monsters, He directly received Shouyang Palace as his apprentice, named Mingli. Taking the opportunity to abolish the default rule that one must pass the Immortal Law Trial and win the ranking to become the head disciple.

Another example is that when appointing the instructor, he proposed to strictly control his conduct, and the disciples of the Pure Heart Sect would select the suitable person in their minds to serve as the instructor, and then the Zodiac discussed and drafted it, which greatly avoided bullying again. The matter of the disciples under the door appeared.

The list goes on and on.

It's a pity that he still had many ideas that he couldn't implement, so he was forced to leave behind his eight-year-old apprentice and let go.

This farewell is a full eleven years.
