Chapter 264 Goodbye Han Ruyan (fourth update)
Half a day later.
When Su Jie arrived here, he saw the empty Han Mansion, which seemed to have become a ghost mansion.
The open door seemed to invite every passer-by. The word "Hanfu" engraved on the lintel was blurred. The lion sculptures on both sides had ferocious faces, stained with dried black blood.
Su Jie was holding Qi Shijian in his hand, and he had just arrived here with Xiao Fengyuan and Ning Xinyue.
Almost as soon as he arrived, by coincidence, Su Jie saw footsteps coming from the other side.
But Yu Wenjing, Xiao Guanglian, and Mo Shiyao, three master disciples of Guanchao Pavilion, Zixia Sect, and Miaoyin Temple, appeared in the distance opposite Su Jie with twelve righteous disciples.
The two sides looked at each other across a street. Ning Xinyue and Xiao Fengyuan had already drawn out the Vajra and Xue Cang Gun. Mo Shiyao on the opposite side had taken out the wooden fish, and Xiao Guanglian had taken out a large number of magical weapons in one go. The other disciples were not to be outdone.
Only Su Jie and Yu Wenjing have not made any move yet.
"Brother Yuwen, since we are all gathered here, you must have come here to destroy the formation. Whether you want to join forces to increase your chances of success, or fight here to hurt both sides and become the growth nutrients of Li Gui in vain, the choice is yours."
Su Jie looked at Yu Wenjing opposite him from a distance. This disciple, who was born in Guanchao Pavilion and was the largest sect in Qingzhou, was obviously the leader of the group of righteous disciples opposite him.
"If you join forces with a demonic cultivator like you, you are waiting to be stabbed in the back by you guys!"
Xiao Guanglian's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Although his broken arm had grown back, he always remembered the hatred of his broken arm and could not forget the battle he lost to Su Jie a few days ago.
"I forgot to say thank you to you in the last battle. The magic weapon and Linjing Yinhua fruit you left behind are very useful."
There was a faint smile on Su Jie's lips, which made Xiao Guanglian's face turn purple with anger, and he felt that he had lost all his face.
"Su Jie, the strongest among the new generation of disciples in Ghost Ridge Palace, you are the one who killed my useless junior brother Du Shaochang?"
Yu Wenjing's cold eyes were very calm, and he stopped Xiao Guanglian who was about to step forward.
"I don't want to, who would let him come to me to die on his own initiative."
Su Jie shrugged. As soon as he said this, Mo Shiyao, who was opposite him, raised his eyebrows, pointed at Su Jie and said, "Everyone who is a demon cultivator will kill him. I will definitely avenge Senior Brother Du with my own hands."
Poor Qi Shijian has been licking others and is now imprisoned. Mo Shiyao didn't even mention his name. Instead, she became stressed when she heard the name Du Shaochang.
"Just you?"
Su Jie touched the Thousand-Handed Centipede coiled in his right hand, and the meaning was obvious.
You can't even defeat my Thousand-Handed Centipede, so why are you talking about taking revenge with your own hands?
The Thousand-Armed Centipede stood up and opened its bloody mouth towards Mo Shiyao.
Apparently it also remembered this woman who had fought, showing off her strength in an aggressive manner.
"Damn bugs."
Mo Shiyao gritted her teeth. Unfortunately, she really couldn't defeat the Thousand-Armed Centipede. The last time she was chased by the Thousand-Armed Centipede, she still had to dodge everywhere in her mind.
"Hey, if you want to fight or make peace, hurry up and draw a clear path. Don't think that we will be afraid if there are many of you. If there is a fight, our senior brother Su will be here to beat ten of you one by one."
Ning Xinyue put her hands on her hips and spoke unusually arrogantly with Su Jie by her side.
Su Jie couldn't help but turn around and glare at this little girl. When did I say I was going to fight ten. Ning Xinyue felt guilty when Su Jie saw her. She played with her black hair as if nothing had happened and honestly stopped interrupting.
"Haha, in that case, let's join forces together."
Yu Wenjing's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally expressed his decision.
Many righteous disciples looked over, but no one refuted this decision. Mo Shiyao and Xiao Guanglian were also persuaded by other disciples.
Through the last battle with Mo Shiyao and Xiao Guanglian, they also learned about the power of these three demon cultivators, Su Jie.
Su Jie, in particular, could almost be said to have defeated Xiao Guanglian and Mo Shiyao alone. His strength was extremely terrifying, and he was extremely dangerous.
If a conflict breaks out here, even if they win, their side will suffer heavy casualties.
And this place is still covered by the Heavenly Soul Formation. If the manpower is further reduced and it becomes impossible to break through, everyone will die here.
“A pleasure to work with.”
Su Jie handed over his hand. Before, the two sides were still fighting to the death, enemies of good and evil, but in the face of a more dangerous enemy, they had to temporarily stop cooperation.
The two parties stepped into the Han Mansion with a hint of wariness towards each other.
In the Han Mansion, there are huge black stone tablets standing everywhere, engraved with densely packed spells, emitting a faint light.
Some strange sculptures are also placed around the Han Mansion. These sculptures are like living creatures. When they pass by, their eyes will move, adding a bit of weirdness and mystery.
Just a few days apart, this place has become a little strange to Su Jie. The tiles on the roof are mottled, as if they have been covered in dust for several years. The closed courtyards and houses have copper rings on the doors, and there seem to be things inside. The ghosts were observing Su Jie and his group, revealing a coldness and strangeness that made people clenched their fists unconsciously and their hearts beat faster.
Passing through the front hall, you enter a quiet bamboo forest. The bamboo leaves sway gently in the wind, making a rustling sound.
Deep in the bamboo forest, a simple pavilion can be vaguely seen. The pavilion is surrounded by wind chimes. Whenever the wind blows, the bells ring crisply.
The surroundings of the pavilion are different from the tranquility and elegance of the bamboo forest. The bones here are like a forest, human hair is like pieces of felt, the skin and flesh are rotten like mud and dust, stuck in the gaps of the floor tiles, and the tendons are hanging on the walls. The foul smell spreads all around. , just like a scene of purgatory on earth.
Everywhere, people hunted and killed by evil spirits were thrown here, forming piles of mountains of corpses.
So much so that the lingering black resentment and fear enveloped the entire Han Mansion like a cloud of smoke, and were then absorbed by a figure in the pavilion.
The figure's eyes were tightly closed. She used to be as beautiful as cherry blossoms in early spring. Now, her black hair is flying in the wind, and her red wedding dress has become torn, as if it has been smeared with a layer of plasma, as red as blood.
Her long hair fell down like a waterfall, covering most of her face. Under her wedding dress were transparent anklets and embroidered shoes. The resentment and yin energy in the sky were being continuously absorbed by it and incorporated into her body, and the death energy surged like a tide.
This is Han Ruyan, but at this time, she is obviously not the Han Ruyan she used to be.
Han Ruyan's parents, Han Jinghuan, Han's mother, and the entire Han family, old and young, were all hanged on the pavilion nearest Han Ruyan, like dried bacon.
Including Xie Wenyi, whom Su Jie once had a relationship with, this prince, and Tang Lie, the man from the secret realm who accompanied him, were also disembowelled and hung upside down on bamboo,
It seemed that he wanted to use this method to make Han Ruyan more resentful after his death and make the ghost he transformed into more ferocious.
Just when Su Jie and the others entered the bamboo forest, two elders from the secret realm, Zou Minzun and Gong Yangji, who had been waiting here for a long time, also appeared, blocking Su Jie, Yu Wenjing and their group one after another.
