"What kind of magical weapon is that? Can't we just send someone to get it?" Luo Jinxiao said in a muffled voice.
"It's said to be a divine weapon, how can we just send anyone there? It's a lamp left behind by the gods, and it's said that the soul of the gods is in the wick. This year, it's the turn of Wuhui Sect to offer sacrifices to the gods, and we need to bring the soul here."
Luo Jinxiao thought about it and decided that there was still some time before the day of the divine sacrifice, so if she went there quickly and came back quickly, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Then you, kiss me again." Luo Jinxiao smiled innocently.
But she got a slap in the face from Qu Weiyin, who accused her of pushing her too far.
In order to get back quickly, Luo Jinxiao did not delay and set off on his sword that night. In order not to disturb others, he did not let anyone know.
She flew the sword very fast, at lightning speed, without any rest, and arrived at Mount Xumi Villa in two days. When she saw Exiled Sea again, she no longer felt as excited as the first time, but her heart was still surging.
The person who received her was still the gray-haired elder from last time. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the elder asked her to wait in the room while he went to get the artifact.
Luo Jinxiao was bored and stood in front of the window watching the people from Xumi Villa practicing. They rarely accepted disciples and the methods they learned were not those of ordinary cultivators. The pace was extremely slow. As people's moves changed, one could only see the leaves moving and the wind still, without even a speck of dust being stirred up.
Watching it makes people feel calm.
"My little immortal friend!" The elder suddenly ran in from outside the door, carefully protecting the lamp with a panicked look on his face.
Luo Jinxiao hurriedly supported him and asked in surprise: "What happened to the elder?"
"It's not me who has done something wrong; something big has happened in Wuhui Sect!" The elder was so anxious that his beard was fluttering.
When Luo Jinxiao heard this, his heart suddenly rose to the air, and his voice was like a split fork: "What?"
"I just received news that the demons suddenly attacked yesterday, targeting only the Wuhui Sect and sweeping across Wuzhong City at the foot of the mountain. Countless people were killed and injured!"
"It has only been a few decades since the last war between immortals and demons. Not only has the demon world revived, but there are even many extremely powerful branches, leaving the Wuhui Sect helpless. We must urgently go and lend a helping hand to you."
Luo Jinxiao subconsciously wanted to leave, but the elder grabbed him and said, "Wait, there are monsters all over the Wuhui Sect's barrier now, and they seem to be going crazy. How are you going back? Why don't you go with us instead of being alone?"
"Thank you, Elder. It's not necessary." Luo Jinxiao was extremely anxious.
"Then take the Soul Lamp. After all, it is a divine weapon, maybe it can be of some use." The elder stuffed the ever-burning lamp into her hands.
"Thank you..." Luo Jinxiao only said two words, and suddenly he felt a palpitation in his heart, and the scenery in front of him was distorted.
She staggered a few steps, quickly loosened her hand, and put the Soul Lamp into her pocket. Once she was no longer in direct contact, the feeling she had just felt was gone in an instant.
Luo Jinxiao was now preoccupied with the situation of Wuhui Sect. He did not think much about it and just thought it was because of the artifact.
After saying goodbye, she rose into the air and flew back on her sword. Wu Jue almost turned into transparent wind under her feet.
Before leaving, Qu Weiyin said that he would wait for her, so she had to go back quickly.
Halfway through the journey, they passed a high mountain and saw a large green lake. Luo Jinxiao suddenly felt something was wrong. His heartbeat quickened as if it was on fire, and his immortal veins began to tremble.
No matter what the accident was, why did it happen at this time!
The strange feeling came so fiercely that she couldn't control her sword at all. She gritted her teeth and summoned Qiongqi, who knelt on her soft back.
The huge wings of Qiongqi flapped, causing its fur to dance. Luo Jinxiao vaguely guessed that it was because of the divine artifact, so she took out the Soul Lamp and threw it aside, but the lamp seemed to recognize her and rolled back to her.
Luo Jinxiao panted and then looked at the lamp carefully. It had a simple and plain appearance. The outer shell seemed to be bronze, but the wick was transparent. A flame was burning at the top, and it could remain motionless even in a strong wind.
Under Luo Jinxiao's gaze, the flames suddenly grew stronger and stronger, as big as a person's palm, and began to spread towards Luo Jinxiao like a snake.
Luo Jinxiao wanted to escape, but his body seemed to be frozen and he couldn't move.
The fire quickly surrounded her and swirled around her body. The moment the flames finally touched Luo Jinxiao, her eyes suddenly went dark and she lost consciousness.
At the same time, Wuhuimen.
The barrier was still relatively stable, still standing despite the overwhelming swarms of demons. In the air outside the barrier, several people were fighting on the clouds, boundless spiritual power radiating in all directions, with flashes of lightning, fire, and thunder.
At the highest point, Qu Weiyin was holding the Crescent Moon and Star Sword in his hand, his fiery red sleeves fluttering in the wind, golden light and black air lingering around him, his eyes were sharp and full of murderous intent.
"Long time no see, Lord Demon." Yu Gui stood opposite her, a smile on his pale face.
Qu Weiyin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he picked up his sword and went forward. The two of them fought each other, and no one within a hundred miles could get close to them. The strange thing was that even under Qu Weiyin's attack, Yu Gui still looked relaxed.
While the battle was going on here, there was no peace on the two sides either. There were strange-looking monsters everywhere, some with human bodies, some with ghost faces, but they were all very powerful and it took many people to stop them.
All the disciples of Wuhui Sect who had reached the Golden Core Stage rushed out of the barrier and fought against the demons in groups of three or four.
"Master Qu!" Guijiu flashed past Qu Weiyin and killed several monsters that were waiting for an opportunity to attack her. Then he rushed to another group and was very busy.
Lu Fanzhi could only stay inside the barrier and help Elder Liu consolidate the barrier. The other elders were scattered everywhere to fight against demons and disappeared without a trace.
After a while, Yan Ying ran in from outside the barrier, covered in blood, and came forward to help. She gritted her teeth and said, "Senior Brother Si Yu took half of the people to Wuzhong City to rescue the people. I didn't find Luo Ning, so I came back."
"Luo Jinxiao is also missing. They are probably outside the barrier. I'm afraid this barrier won't last long. What should we do if we let those monsters enter the Wuhui Gate?" Lu Fanzhi shouted anxiously.
"Don't panic, I'm here." Elder Liu on the side said in a deep voice. He opened his palms and endless spiritual power surged out, consolidating the film-like barrier.
The colorful spiritual light printed colors on the blue sky. The nearby trees were uprooted from time to time and turned over, revealing the grass underneath. It was unclear whether there was dust or flesh in the air. It was so blurry that nothing could be seen clearly.
Qu Weiyin remained calm throughout the whole process, but gradually she lost strength. She raised her sword and drew lightning, and flames shot down from the sky. The sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, suddenly became overcast with haze and thunder.
"Master Demon, this is not even 50% of your power in your previous life." Yu Gui shook his head and said regretfully, "Why did you betray us? Wouldn't it be better to become a demon and unify the world?"
Seeing that Qu Weiyin still ignored him, Yu Gui suddenly frowned. A few more monsters wearing bamboo hats appeared behind him and attacked Qu Weiyin. Qu Weiyin quickly transformed into golden light to resist. Her phoenix eyes were cold and she whispered, "How many people have practiced the Nether Formation Diagram? You are so unethical, aren't you afraid of backlash?"
"The fairy world has done so many wrong things and there has been no backlash. It's just killing a few people. How can it be considered against human ethics!" As Yu Gui said this, demonic energy overflowed and Qu Weiyin was gradually defeated.
At this time, a woman in white descended from the sky, her white skirt trailing down. Her silver hair was scattered behind her, emitting a faint white light, like a god.
The sect leader hardly used the sword. She waved her sleeves as blades and stabbed the monsters from all directions, temporarily disrupting their formation.
She and Qu Weiyin had never spoken to each other, but they had a tacit understanding, and the two of them turned the situation around for a while.
At this time, someone came forward to deliver a message: "Master, the barrier in the southeast is about to break, and countless monsters are gathering there, intending to break through!"
"Master, you go ahead. The barrier cannot be broken." Qu Weiyin said.
The sect leader hesitated, glanced at Qu Weiyin, weighed the pros and cons, said be careful, and then walked away. As soon as the sect leader left, Qu Weiyin was once again in the situation of fighting alone.
Her eyes passed Yugui and looked steadily into the distance, like water condensing into iron, gradually becoming hard.
Is she, can't wait for her to come back.
She raised her hand, and the Crescent Moon and Star Sword turned into light and shadow to block in front of her. Under the protection of the magic sword, Qu Weiyin began to practice her skills, and the black air mixed with the golden light. A thunderclap was heard from the horizon, and the originally dark sky turned red from outside.
It was like blood spilled on dark clouds, burning for thousands of miles.
"Painting of mountains and rivers?" Yu Gui suddenly said, and it was hard to tell whether his tone was one of fear or excitement.
Qu Weiyin raised her head, her eyes turned completely pale and bright red, her hair flew behind her, entangled with the red clothes, powerful pressure and murderous intent permeated, shocking all around.
Qu Weiyin has become possessed by a demon.
———
After a gasp, Luo Jinxiao woke up in shock. She was covered in sweat and didn't know whether the scene just now was a dream or reality.
She raised her head and looked around, only to find that she was lying on the cold ground. The ground felt like ice and was slippery. Above her head was complete darkness. It was not night, but rather a piece of black cloth without any light at all.
Her chest ached and her heart felt like it was being twisted. Luo Jinxiao wanted to get up, but she saw that her limbs were bound by four chains, and the other end of the chain extended very far away.
She was amazed at what happened and tried to use her spiritual power to break free, but was shocked to find that her body was empty, without a trace of spiritual power, and she couldn't even feel her immortal veins, as if she had returned to the day when she was reborn.
This time, she was really panicked.
"Don't struggle. You can't break the chain." A voice was heard. It sounded like an old woman's voice. It was like a broken bellows, making a creeping sound that was uncomfortable.
Luo Jinxiao tried to tilt his head to look, but could only see a blurry figure. The man was wearing a black robe, with not even a hair showing.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"It's not important." The man said, and slowly walked to Luo Jinxiao. From Luo Jinxiao's perspective, she was tall and strong, and intimidating.
"Why are you arresting me? I have something important to tell you, let me go." Luo Jinxiao said through gritting his teeth.
"No, you have nothing important to do." The man said, and placed a lamp on the ground. It was the bronze lamp, but now the fire inside was extinguished, leaving only a bare surface.
Luo Jinxiao didn't know what time it was, nor did she know what had happened to Qu Weiyin. She was extremely anxious and could only struggle desperately. However, the more she struggled, the tighter the chain became, and wherever it touched felt like needles.
The man glanced at her, his eyes seemed to show some reluctance, but he quickly concealed it and put the limp Qiongqi next to her. The Qiongqi was as big as a calf, and she carried it effortlessly.
"Don't worry, she's fine. I won't hurt you."
"Let me go." Luo Jinxiao said loudly.
"If I let you go now, you will die," the man said.
A surge of anger surged in Luo Jinxiao's heart. She pulled the chain desperately. After a while, she curled up in pain. Her wrists were rubbed and blood flowed from the wound onto the ground.
After so long, something must have happened to Qu Weiyin. Luo Jinxiao could feel the severe pain in his heart.
"Stop struggling." The man seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and stepped forward to hold down her limbs. "I said stop struggling!"
"Then let me go!" Luo Jinxiao said sternly. She glared at the man fiercely and suddenly felt that he looked familiar.
The man lowered his eyelids and suddenly said, "You have to know that you can't live for yourself, nor can you live for her alone. There are more things behind you, and you can't just let go."
"Then tell me!" Luo Jinxiao was furious. She struggled again and suddenly severe pain spread to her limbs. She fell silent, closed her eyes tightly, and trembled all over to endure it.
"If you keep struggling, this chain will make you live a life worse than death."
All the sounds in Luo Jinxiao's ears became intermittent, and the pain was like thousands of ants gnawing at her bones, heart and lungs. After a while, she was sweating profusely and collapsed to the ground.
She raised her head again and said word by word: "Please, let me go."
Her voice began to tremble, as if she was about to collapse: "Since you won't hurt me, then I beg you."
Hearing this, the person seemed to become even more reluctant. She turned her head away and remained silent.
"Is that woman so important that you would not care about your own life or death?"
"Yes." Luo Jinxiao said with his eyes closed.
The person was silent for a long while, her only eye exposed was lowered, not daring to open.
"I didn't tie you up, it was the lamp. This is your consciousness, and only you can break free, but I advise you not to."
The lamp... Luo Jinxiao remembered what the elder said, that the soul is hidden in the wick.
Could it be that the spirit saw that she had a connection with him and that was why it didn't let her go
Luo Jinxiao raised her hand weakly and slowly groped towards the bronze lamp holder that had lost its light. The moment she held it, some random images appeared in her mind.
Most of them are clips of her standing on a lonely cliff, watching the snow flying in front of her.
I have seen it occasionally, Wu Jue stuck in the snow, the handle stained with blood, carrying with it the loneliness of tens of millions of years.
There were also corpses scattered all over the ground, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, billowing smoke, and a devastated scene.
She let go and gasped.
Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't figure out what was going on. She just felt that when she saw those scenes, she seemed to be back in the Changming Tower, feeling desolate.
But immediately, Qu Weiyin's words rang in her mind.
She was still waiting for her to come back, and she would never be trapped here.
Luo Jinxiao closed her eyes and tried to force out the spiritual power in her immortal veins, but to no avail. She opened her eyes again and looked at the man in the cloak. She spoke in a hoarse voice, "You and this lamp, do you want me to die?"
"Of course not." The man said with a hint of panic in his tone.
Luo Jinxiao nodded, and suddenly a meaningful smile appeared on her lips. She whispered something, and Wu Jue appeared in her hand.
A divine weapon that has been contracted can be summoned without the need for spiritual energy.
Seeing this, the man panicked and tried to stop him: "Don't!"
Luo Jinxiao had already raised his hand, and with the sound of iron chains rattling, he stabbed Wu Jue fiercely into his heart.
Accompanied by a pain that almost made her faint, she saw a black figure twisted into a ball, and then everything disappeared. She was lying at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by dew that wet her clothes.
The spiritual power in the body is still there, but the difference from before is that there seems to be something more, flowing slowly between the immortal veins.
When Luo Jinxiao looked up, it was already the morning of the next day. The sky was blood red. It did not look like clouds, but like it was paved with blood, and demonic energy was rolling.
"Moan." She whispered.
