Chapter 96 Difficulties
Ni Hua still goes to Chen Yuan’s cell to check in every day as if on a mission.
One day, when she passed by the mission hall, she vaguely heard the voices of disciples talking not far away. Driven by curiosity, she inadvertently stopped as she passed by them, and quietly I got closer and got a lot of information from it.
One evening not long ago, the sect received a letter asking for help from Fancheng, which is under its jurisdiction, saying that there was a demon causing trouble. It was heard that the noble Li family of Fancheng was wiped out overnight, and no one in the family was spared.
The person who took over the task was a high-ranking elder. He led his disciples down the mountain and have only returned so far.
"It's really tragic." A young disciple who had just returned from the mountain said in a serious tone.
The monks in the world of immortality compete with the world of demons and demons. It is rare for an entire family to be exterminated suddenly, especially for the children of nobles. They will hire some people with good cultivation to look after their homes and courtyards.
"The most terrifying thing is that when the door was destroyed, there was no sound at all. It was only when the door was opened the next day that someone discovered the tragedy. I heard that the scene was terrible, and..." One person wanted to say something He stopped again and seemed to be worried.
"And what..."
"I heard from the elders that it was demonic energy..."
"I heard that the man from the Demon Cult in the prison cell was seriously injured in Fancheng. Could it be..."
"No wonder the elder took a heavy blow against the man from the Demon Cult on the first day he saw him..."
“But senior sister also likes him, doesn’t she?”
“It doesn’t matter if I like him, the Demon Cult It’s the Demon Sect. I heard what they said. If you enter the Demon Sect and submit a petition, you will kill people. They are all executioners who kill a lot of people..."
Ni Hua calmly listened to what he said. She hooked her fingers and fell into deep thought. The elder allowed Ni Hua to approach Chen Yuan, just to get some information from him.
As far as Nihua knew, Chen Yuan was an important figure under the famous Demon Lord of the Demon Sect. It was indeed strange that he suddenly appeared in the world of cultivating immortals and was seriously injured. She thought Chen Yuan was involved in the relationship between the first sect and the Demon Sect. In the struggle, it seems that Chen Yuan left the team privately and had other secrets.
After listening to it all the way, the only thing left was how the two disciples arranged her. She did not pay attention to reputation. After listening to it, she was silent for a moment and then left.
The time for Chen Yuan's trial came soon. Nihua originally wanted to wait until Chen Yuan's undercover would reveal her fault automatically. However, during the moment of her inner struggle, she couldn't help but take advantage of the dark moon and the wind to escape. Watching Chen Yuan in the cell.
She took advantage of the silence of the night, carefully holding the lamp, and quietly opened the door of the dungeon.
Nihua arrived at the cell where Chen Yuan was imprisoned. She looked at the chilling eyes of the shockingly beautiful beauty under the moonlight. He looked a little tired at this time. . After not seeing each other for a while, Chen Yuan felt an inexplicable emotion when he saw Ni Hua again.
Ni Hua looked at Chen Yuan with a hint of coldness, and said straight to the point, "I heard that my junior sister missed you in Fancheng, and that day there was a massacre of the whole family."
Chen Yuan shut up and said nothing. His eyes fell on his bleeding ankle.
Ni Hua watched him hesitate to speak, stubbornly waiting for an answer. Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he was already calculating. He lowered his head and said, "I don't know anyone in Fancheng."
Chen Yuan and Ni Hua started a word game. Indeed, he didn't know anyone. them, but you can kill them, there's nothing wrong with that.
The elder personally took over this task. Not long after, the news of the investigation came. The elder said in a heavy tone that it was a "soul-calling flag."
The forces of the Demonic Cult master forbidden arts, which are despised by the righteous. Among them, the most feared thing is the soul-calling flag that can stir up the yin and yang and change the destiny against the heaven. This soul-calling banner is said to be soaked in the water of the Styx, woven with resentment as the guide, and gathered from the deepest cold air under the Nine Netherworld. It is entangled with the wails and unwillingness of countless dead souls.
The Soul Calling Banner, as long as it kills enough people, the resentment of the captive resentful souls will rise to the sky, and it can bring people back to life.
They all thought of the massacres that had occurred one after another in recent years.
The Demon Cult needs such a big fanfare, and there is only one person who can be resurrected, and that is the previous leader of the Demon Cult.
But who wakes up after such a cruel resurrection? I am afraid it is a puppet controlled by the Demonic Cult.
If this is really the case, and such a powerful leader of the Demon Cult is filled with hatred for the living, his return from death will become a nightmare that shakes the entire world of immortality.
This was no ordinary tragedy. Several elders looked at each other and summoned He Shengjing to investigate together.
Not long after, Nihua received news that her master Sikong Zhen was back. Sikong Zhen personally escorted Shi Ling, who had betrayed his master, back to the sect for trial.
This was a secret trial, and the elders of the sect opened the "Questioning Heart" formation for Shi Ling.
Every disciple of the sect must go through a formation to ask questions before entering the sect, and swear to be loyal to the right path in front of the sword intent left by countless ancestors of the formation.
The last person who was forced into the formation to "ask the heart" was the senior brother, and this time it was Shi Ling.
Two traitors appeared in a row, and the Xuantian Sect's reputation in the world of immortality was notorious.
However, the outcome of the trial was still disappointing.
When the results came out, everyone was still stunned.
Shi Ling was adopted by the Xuantian Sect and grew up with them since she was a child. She is intelligent, highly savvy, and extremely beautiful. Although she is congenitally weak, she has shown extraordinary talent in swordsmanship. , each move reveals aura and sharpness. More importantly, Shi Ling is also the saint chosen by the Holy Realm.
Everyone didn't know why such a proud man chose to betray the right path.
This time, Xuantian sent out the three most talented disciples, one is senior brother, one is Shi Ling, and the other is Ni Hua.
Everyone turned their attention to Ni Hua again. She fell in love with a man from the Demon Cult who committed a heinous crime. It had already spread throughout the sect. Everyone looked at her with some regret, thinking that she was probably useless.
The Xuantian Sect is really in decline.
Shi Ling cannot pass the "Question of Heart". According to the usual practice, Sikong Zhen, as the head of the Xuantian Sect, must abolish Shi Ling's cultivation in public. If not, he must personally hand her over to the Holy Realm. After all, Sikong Zhen couldn't bear to hand over Shi Ling to the Holy Realm.
The sky seemed to be weighed down by a thick lead, making it so dull that it made people breathless. After hearing the news, the disciples of the sect hurried to the sect's mountain guard town. At the base of the Nine Dragon Pillar, their faces were full of anxiety and avoidance, and they seemed to be able to feel the ominous atmosphere permeating the air.
Shi Ling knelt on the judgment stand of the mountain guard formation. She looked at the Nine Dragon Pillars at the door. Regardless of the pain in her meridians, she wiped the blood from her sleeves and said with He glanced at them with some hatred. She tried to stand up, but ended up weakly falling to the ground.
Ni Hua looked at Shi Ling's eyes quietly from below and sighed.
"It is absolutely impossible for the little junior sister to betray the sect. She must have her own reasons!" In the audience, Shi Yun looked at the fragile eyes of the little junior sister who had been guarding him for half his life. His heart trembled. He didn't care. Rushing to defend Shi Ling.
Finally, Shi Yun and a group of his younger brothers were dragged down. Shi Yun lowered his head. During the struggle, he looked at what fell to the ground when he was pulled out and looked at the tiger bones in his hands, which he had not given away back then. Gift, his eyes were full of despair, sadness and disbelief.
Shi Ling raised her head and glanced at them calmly, indifferently.
Ni Hua bent down and picked up the abandoned tiger bone. She chuckled. She was so smart. She guessed that Shi Ling really had her own reasons. After all, she is Bai Yueguang in the book.
After Shi Ling was deprived of her cultivation, she was pushed to the point where she could never think about it again.
Late at night, Sikong Zhen looked at the young disciple who came late at night with a tired face. He listened thoughtfully to Ni Hua's determined and determined explanation of various gains and losses to him. Sikong Zhen finally sighed.
"You shouldn't follow them to fool around."
From Song Yikui's mouth, Sikong Zhen learned the whole story. Combining the recent legends about the sect's annihilation and the four great spiritual weapons, they pieced together intermittently A truth.
The Demon Cult not only wants to resurrect the Demon Lord, but also wants him to become a god in one step.
In order to realize this wish, the people of the Demon Cult provoked a dispute between the righteous way and the demon world, treating this world as a slaughterhouse. The demon sect has been involved in the massacres that have been active in the past few years, and Now it is estimated that their plan has reached the end, and it is time for them to close the net.
If this is really the case, then Nihua's move is like a mantis blocking a car, which is very dangerous.
The moment Sikong Zhen heard the news, he sent Song Yikui, one of the four spiritual weapons in his hand, to the holy realm. If the holy realm could not be defended, he didn't know where else in the world could be. Safe place.
What Ni Hua and Song Yikui said was that she dreamed about her past life, but in fact, she knew her apprentice, Master Mo. He looked at Ni Hua, and from a few words, he could easily detect his... The apprentice organized the language that was wrong, but he did not point out that everyone has his or her own karma, whether it is blessing or misfortune, and the master cannot determine the cause and effect.
Sikong Zhen just looked at his little disciple with a kind of pity. He couldn't imagine how they, the little disciples, would be able to control the mad wave after his death, and how they would helplessly watch the sect perish. , a mantis blocks the car and takes revenge.
In the past few years, Sikong Zhen has been trapped in the Demon Locking Tower to practice, and he has paid little attention to these disciples. He looked at the neon lights in front of him, and thought of the flowers he personally sent to Siguo Cliff during the day. Shi Ling, he suddenly felt a trace of guilt as an elder in his heart.
However, Ni Hua remained unmoved. She still looked at Sikong Zhen and said, "Master, I want to join the Demon Cult."
Nihua had stayed in the Demon Cult for a long time, and she thought she was a very suitable candidate.
"I can't stop you." All the apprentices had big ideas in mind. Sikong Zhen thought silently, if he stops her this time, what about next time? What about the next time? There are always times when he can't take care of you.
Before leaving, Sikong Zhen couldn’t help but transfer his family heirloom to Ni Hua, hoping that it could protect his apprentice from any interference from monsters and monsters. Although these magic weapons are not as good as Four famous weapons, but they are also famous treasures in the world.
Ni Hua looked at the master as if he had suddenly aged. She looked at the white hair on both sides of his temples and said in a dry voice, "Master, I will be back."
Ni Hua walked silently into the night. As time went by, she realized that Chen Yuan was not resistant to getting along with her, so taking advantage of the chaos of the day, Ni Hua took action in advance.
On a dark and windy night, Nihua took advantage of the silence of the night to quietly open the door of the dungeon and rob Chen Yuan out.
Chen Yuan looked at the person in front of him with a flash of surprise and wariness. Looking at Ni Hua who looked like he was in ruins, he had an inexplicable emotion, more of which was disbelief.
Without saying anything, the two of them left the cell one after another under the cover of night. On the way, they deliberately avoided the heavily guarded areas of the sect and walked in areas where the formation was weak.
Finally, the two came to the ancient road in Huangyuan. Nihua was very familiar with her sect. She took out the token she had prepared, stretched out her hand, and slapped Chen Yuan with an extremely rare Invisibility talisman, she held various tokens and passed the formation test. The two of them arrived at the teleportation array without anyone noticing. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Nihua looked up and a gust of wind blew, and the two of them arrived in the bustling world.
It is autumn, and there are few pedestrians on the street.
Ni Hua looked at the embarrassed but still stunning Chen Yuan. She told Chen Yuan about the bloodshed during today's trial, and she tightened her grip on one of his sleeves and said, she was afraid, he was really dead.
Chen Yuan smiled and heard her ask, "Chen Yuan, do you want to return to the Demon Cult?"
Chen Yuan lowered his eyebrows and heard the innocent girl chatting with him. As they talked about the future, he laughed strangely. Nihua's words seemed as if the confrontation between the world of immortality and the demon sect had never existed. The world was a pure land of peace. He didn't know whether to laugh at her innocence or her ignorance, but he did not laugh on the spot. He just wanted to get rid of her.
Chen Yuan just asked, "If we are caught, what kind of punishment will you receive? Do you regret it?"
When he was in prison, Nihua let him live. Even better, this is actually not a big crime, but to let go of a person from the demon sect who has probably wiped out a whole family and committed a heinous crime, then Nihua is collaborating with the demon sect. This crime requires him to have his entire cultivation level revoked and be expelled. Martial arts.
"It's all worth it, isn't it?" Nihua looked like the top love brain described in Ji Ji's storybook. She looked at him with a bit of infatuation in her eyes.
Chen Yuan was burned by such a look. He turned his head away unnaturally. He was thinking quietly, if she was pretending, and she had gone so far, he felt that was enough.
Afraid that the news that Chen Yuan had been kidnapped would alert the sect and lead to a pursuit, the two of them were transferred together countless times. During this period, Ni Hua had been observing his words and deeds to see who he was in contact with.
One day, they took a short rest at the inn. When Nihua woke up, she saw that the whole place was deserted. She was not surprised that she would be left behind.
Ni Hua calmed down her expression, she opened the window indifferently, walked downstairs, lowered her head, and suddenly found an unexpected person standing there.
Xi Yan was filled with a dead air. He stood quietly in the crowd, standing out from the crowd. He looked at her directly, and the coldness in his brows was evident when he saw his senior sister appearing in front of him safe and sound. Melting moment by moment.
Since the news of Ni Hua leaving the sect came, he gave up his original plan, followed the guidance of the Heart Demon Oath, and found Ni Hua along the way.
Chen Yuan was naturally led away.
