Chapter 47

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Ling Xi felt like as if she was hit by a heavy blow. Her eyes were empty and it was impossible to tell where she was looking at. She let Feng Shu help her up. She didn’t cry nor laugh and asked woodenly, “Why…?”

He is so powerful, but pretended that his soul had dispersed and scattered and hid inside the silver mirror. All these years, he watched her feel guilty and blamed herself for his death and watched her suffer endlessly in order to resurrect him. He knew that the silver mirror was big brother, but had never told her and only let her cultivate well. And…ended up as today.

No wonder…no wonder Cang Yu had seen him and knew that she would take his (CY) true element and even voluntarily give up his true element…

Why? Why did he had to make such a big roundabout?

Feng Shu still stroked her hair gently and didn’t answer.

When the other people heard these words, they didn’t understand what Feng Shu was talking about. Cang Hai and Qing Lian looked puzzled at Qing Kui. Qing Kui looked indignant at Ling Xi and Feng Shu. Qing Nian had his eyes lowered and seemed to be in deep thoughts.

“Haha, following Soul Attractor here was truly not a bad decision!” Another person appeared at the top of Cloud Hall.

Ming Sheng was dressed in a black luxurious robe inlaid with gold. Although, he was small, but his imposing manner was out of the ordinary. The moment he appeared, he attracted everyone’s attention.

“Where is Qin Ling and Jing Yan?” After Ming Sheng landed, he looked around and grinned, “I heard that they want to take out my true element?”

At this moment, the silver mirror was in of Nan Zhi’s hand. He was still floating in the air and looked indifferently at Ming Sheng. Ling Xi was still in daze and seemed to not have seen the arrival of Ming Sheng.

Among the Cangjia’s disciples who were present, only Qing Kui had seen Ming Sheng before. However, in this situation and Ming Sheng appeared so sudden, he also blanked out. Only Feng Shu was still as calm as ever. He stepped forward a bit and said faintly, “If it weren’t for this, how would king of hell come out of the netherworld and pay a visit to Cangjia in person?”

Ming Sheng was shocked for a moment. His eyes narrowed slightly when looking at Feng Shu. He held back his mischievous smile and said with a serious tone, “It’s you.”

Feng Shu lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, “Since king of hell recognizes me, can you lend me a hand in capturing the devil king and remove the seal?”

Ming Sheng’s expression sank. He glared once at Feng Shu. Although, he was unwilling, he said, “You already asked, can I still not lend a hand?”

If he had known this, even if you beat him to death, he wouldn’t have come out of the netherworld and get involved into this mess!

The god realm had already been sealed for ten thousand years. To him, it was nothing more than a flash in his endless long life. It didn’t matter to him if it was sealed for another twenty or thirty thousand years. In fact, it was equivalent to those old men of the god realm having a long sleep.

Although, sealing the god realm would have a bit of an influence on the six realms, but what did that have to do with him? It wasn’t easy for that old father of his to happen to be sealed in the god realm and let him be so free for so many years….

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly…there was actually still a god that slipped through in these six realms!

Ming Sheng looked askance unreconciled at Feng Shu. He hid so well. No wonder he (MS) didn’t discover him. Now, he wanted his help. He had no other way than to help him. Otherwise, if one day his (MS) king father woke up and got to know about this matter, it would be strange if his king father didn’t kill him (MS)!

Ming Sheng was still pondering when Feng Shu already looked at Nan Zhi.

Nan Zhi frowned slightly and unexpectedly attacked Ling Xi, seemingly intending to catch her. Feng Shu stepped forward and protected her behind him. Then, he chanted an incantation. Ming Sheng saw this and took the opportunity to attack Nan Zhi.

The spells used by the netherworld and the god realm were not the same. Nan Zhi dodged out of habit but was unable to escape it and received a blow from Ming Sheng.

Feng Shu put away his spell and took the advantage that Nan Zhi was in a weak spot now and attacked him with Ming Sheng. Nan Zhi’s body flashed and disappeared from Cloud Hall. Feng Shu and Ming Sheng exchanged a glance and chased after him.

After the chaos, the main peak of Cangjia was at a loss.

At loss about why eldest senior brother had a relation with the king of hell. At loss about what the true identity of eldest senior brother was. At loss about who exactly was the woman in front of them who was using Ling Xi’s body.

Ling Xi’s eyes had dried up. The brilliance in her eyes gradually flashed. It was cold and sharp. She raised her sword and chuckled, “I indeed killed Cang Yu. His true element is inside of this purse of tail feathers. Why…don’t you come snatch it?”

All the disciples of Cangjia intook a cold breath, lifted their sword and attacked Ling Xi.

In the chaos, Qing Lian shouted, “Senior brother Qing Kui, what is going on?!”

Qing Kui shouted, “Jing Yan possessed Ling Xi’s body. Don’t hurt her body!”

Although, Qing Kui commanded that, but there were so many disciples at Cloud Hall and so many swords. It was impossible for all to avoid Ling Xi’s body. Ling Xi’s soul had already been squeezed inside the body just now and she was hit a few times. At this time, she was supporting herself with only her vicious currents. Only a short moment later, there were no less than ten wounds on her body. The circle surrounding her also became smaller and smaller. The swords pointing at her and the spells attacking her became more and more.

Ling Xi thought about the night where Cangjia Mountain was covered with corpses. She cried and said to the voice inside the silver mirror “want”. She wanted her fellow sect-mates to be resurrected and wanted Cang Mountain to still be full of vitality and get rid of devils and the defend the traditional values.

However, now their swords pointed at her.

She gave a way to survive to others; others cut off her way to survive.

She thought that the world’s greatest sorrow was nothing more than this.

Suddenly, a sharp tip of the sword passed her cheek, but didn’t hurt her body. Instead, the Cangjia’s disciples who surrounded her took three steps back after crying out in unison and all fell on the ground with some serious injuries.

Ling Xi looked sideways. Qing Nian stood next to her while holding a sword.

“I once swore to the moon that no matter what happens, I will be by your side.” Qing Nian looked calm and said calmly.

Ling Xi was stunned and then smiled, “That is your oath to Ling Xi.”

“If you aren’t Ling Xi, how do you know that I made an oath?” Qing Nian asked instead.

“Qing Nian, you’re crazy! Come here!” Cang Hai shouted angrily.

“Qing Nian, that is not Ling Xi!” Qing Kui also said anxiously.

The battle was stopped. No one wanted to start a fight with Qing Nian who was in the same sect as them.

Qing Nian took a step forward and hid Ling Xi behind him. He raised his sword and said, “I have once promised to protect her. Kill me first or let her go!”

Cang Hai stared at Qing Nian. His expression was gloomy, “Qing Nian, don’t fall into the devilish ways once again.”

Six years ago, Qing Nian’s wisdom was disturbed by devilish beings because of Xue Ran and became an enemy of Cangjia. The moment Cang Hai said this, everyone stared at him worriedly and defensively.

“She is Ling Xi and not someone else!” Qing Nian said through gritted teeth.

Everyone revealed doubts. Qing Kui said angrily, “She confessed herself that she killed master! Jing Yan took away the mortal realm’s emperor’s heart, took Qing Feng’s internal core and took away master’s true element! You say that she is Ling Xi? Have you seen her dressed in white and her cold-hearted and ruthless expression? Qing Nian, open your eyes. She is Jing Yan who had possessed Ling Xi’s body!”

Between the words, Cang Hai’s face revealed ruthlessness and he already attacked Qing Nian.

Ling Xi suddenly pushed Qing Nian and laughed aloud, “Haha…that is right. I’m Jing Yan! I killed the mortal realm’s emperor, killed demon king Qing Feng and supremo Cang Yu! I have also bewitched Qing Nian now! Come all at me!”

Ling Xi spread her arms and jumped in the air as if she was a nightjar who spreads its wings and soared in the sky.

When Qing Kui saw this, he gathered his spiritual energy and attacked.

Qing Nian was entangled by Cang Hai and had no time to go save her. He could only cry out in pain, “Qing Kui, she is really Ling Xi!!!”

Qing Kui’s palm hit Ling Xi’s forehead. The blood spewed out was like a bloody flower blooming enchantingly and recklessly in the sky.

At the same time, a person appeared in the night again and shouted, “Qing Kui! Jing Yan is Ling Xi!”

Ling Xi fell on the ground again. The body hit the ground with a muffled noise. Some blood stained her pale face. Her eyes looked straight at the sky. Her were eyes empty and deathly still.

The hand that Qing Kui used for the attack hasn’t been retrieved yet and froze in the air. His gaze froze on Cang Qu who hurriedly rushed to here.

As soon as Cang Qu landed, he hurried to Ling Xi and checked her pulse.

“Jing Yan is Ling Xi. Jing Yan is Ling Xi!” Cang Qu seemed drunk. His eyes were bewildered and faintly red.

Qing Kui felt as if he was struck by lightning and trembled over his whole body. He grabbed Cang Qu’s collar and shouted, “Explain clearly! What Jing Yan?! What Ling Xi?!”

Sorrow came from Cang Qu’s heart and he said with red eyes, “I saw clearly that day. Cangjia Mountain was full of corpses. The silver mirror shone brightly. The places where it covered, the corpses came back to life. The soul returned to the body. Everyone was resurrected. The silver mirror also turned into a human form!”

That night, he secretly went down the mountain to drink and escaped Cangjia Mountain’s tribulation. When he returned, the people were gone and the mountain died. He saw the silver mirror bring Cangjia back to life and transformed into the appearance of high-tiered deity Donghua. There was also a ray of soul lingering around.

“Big brother, can you change your appearance. I don’t like this one.”

Silver mirror shook his body and changed his appearance.

“Big brother, in the past people asked for my name. I didn’t know. I don’t like “Ling Xi”.”

“You are Jing Yan. I’m Qin Ling.”

“Then, big brother, can Jing Yan find another body? I don’t like the original one.”

“Of course, you can. It’s up to you.”

One mirror and one soul left. He didn’t follow. Later, they received Jing Yan’s war challenge…

Cang Qu explained. Qing Kui’s eyes were widened and he obviously was in disbelief. However, the anger in his voice has already receded a lot. He questioned, “Last time you only said that Qin Ling is the silver mirror. You never said that Jing Yan is Ling Xi!”

Cang Qu closed his eyes remorseful and turned, “It’s…senior brother…who didn’t let me tell you.”

The color on Qing Kui’s face gradually faded away.

He naturally remembered that last time when he asked Cang Qu who was drunk and unconscious. Cang Qu only uttered the word “Jing Yan” and refused to say more. He only said that senior brother didn’t allow him to talk about it.

“Since master knows that Jing Yan is Ling Xi…” Qing Kui muttered dazedly.

“He knows that Ling Xi would come take his true element. He once mentioned to me that if the seal of the god realm could be lifted, he wouldn’t hesitate to hand over his true element.”

Qing Kui’s mind was in a state of confusion. He couldn’t think about the seal of the god realm and he didn’t want to guess whether it was Jing Yan who killed master or if it was master who presented her his true element himself. He only knows…he used all his power and gave Ling Xi a blow.

“Ling…Xi…” Qing Kui knelt next to Ling Xi at lost. His shaking arms carried her, “Ling Xi…Ling Xi…I was wrong…”

Qing Kui’s voice was hoarse. He shivered and could barely speak a complete sentence. He continuously gave her immortal energy.

“Senior…senior brother…Qing Kui….” Ling Xi’s eyes recovered some brightness. There was tears at the bottom of her eyes, “You all…want to drive me…out of this body.”

“Ling Xi, I was wrong. I was wrong…” Qing Kui’s tears slid down his cheeks and landed on Ling Xi’s face. It washed away the blood from her face, “I’m useless. I couldn’t even recognize you!”

“I…don’t blame you.” Ling Xi raised her eyes slightly. She looked at the half brightly lit sky not far away. “Truly…I don’t blame you. Senior brother Qing Kui, can…can you take me to see big brother? Big brother…I still want to see him once more.”

Not far on the top of Cangjia Mountain, the light of the silver mirror dispersed the darkness. It was like a rising star, lightening up half of the sky.

“I will take you.” Qing Kui lifted Ling Xi up and flew to the top of Cangjia Mountain.

The other people looked at the two of them leave. They stood on the same place frozen and at loss.

—

The top of Cangjia Mountain was brightly lit like during the day because of the light from the silver mirror.

The moon was rising in the sky and was round like a silver plate. The gloomy wind was blowing, whispering and crying in the ear.

The silver mirror became the height of half a human and spun slowly in the air. Despite emoting a silvery white light, the body was shrouded by a thin layer of black mist. He was obviously under the control of the man in black beside him.

Both Ming Sheng and Feng Shu were slightly tired. The two took turns to attack Nan Zhi. It was either dodged by him or resolved by him using the energy of the silver mirror.

“Bah!” Ming Sheng was already impatient. He hasn’t met such an opponent for tens of thousands of years. “What a freak had your god realm made?! Forget it if he has shocking spiritual energy. He actually can control the energy of the silver mirror!”

The silver mirror was an ancient godly artifact. The spiritual energy it has was unmatched by anyone in the six realms. However, the silver mirror can’t practice spells by itself. Therefore, it was powerful in vain and was incapable of using that energy. Those who could borrow the energy of the silver mirror were definitely not ordinary gods.

It was even more frightening that this unordinary god became a devil! No wonder he was able to seal the god realm and let it disappear without a trace that year!

Feng Shu’s lips were in a thin line and he remained silent and continued to attack.

Qing Kui carried Ling Xi to the top of Cangjia Mountain. The three people were fighting fiercely. Qing Kui found a safer place and made a barrier. He carefully pushed Ling Xi and said, “Ling Xi, we’re here! Ling Xi, open your eyes!”

Ling Xi tried very hard to open her eyes. She looked sideways in the direction of the light source. Seeing the constant rotating silver mirror, her eyes became wet, “Big brother…”

Qin Ling had once said to her that she could no longer be tormented…

If she suffered another trauma, she knew that she truly wouldn’t be able to live on anymore.

She didn’t know whether this could be considered torment.

It was just that she didn’t seem to be able to feel the pain on her body anymore. Her soul was also getting lighter and was about to be pushed out by the other souls in the body. She saw that Nan Zhi glanced once at her. A dark glint flashed in his eyes. Then, he threw the silver mirror in her direction.

The broken souls in her body became stronger. A force seemed to be gathering them together. Once, they merge, Ling Xi’s weakened soul wouldn’t be able to fight them any longer.

Qing Kui saw that the glimmer gradually fade in her eyes. His pale lips trembled, but he couldn’t utter a word. He knew that Nan Zhi was using the silver mirror to cast a spell against her, but he was helpless. His barrier had no effect on the silver mirror.

He hugged Ling Xi tightly and buried her face in his arms.

Just like that night on the fifteenth of July when he held Ling Xi’s corpse and refused to let go.

“Ling Xi…” He murmured, “You can’t die.”

Ling Xi could hear him, but was unable to respond. In her head appeared those years when she was still dim-witted. The scenes of her playing with the qingrong leaves on Tianmai peak and deliberately played tricks on Qing Kui appeared before her. The corners of her mouth raised slightly.

In her short life, there were still a lot of warmth worth remembering. How great.

“Ling Xi, you won’t die.” Qing Kui’s low, hoarse and firm.

Ling Xi’s consciousness that had gradually drifted away came back. Her body was warm. The resistance from another soul seemed to also not be so painful anymore.

“Ling Xi, Qing Feng used to ask me for ‘love’ in the past. Although, I cherished her, but I didn’t know what ‘love’ was and how I should give it to her.” Qing Kui’s voice became more and more clearer, but it also became lower and lower, “Perhaps, it was that year when I went to bring you back from Xuwang cliff and saw you for the first time. Perhaps, it was the countless glimpses when we practiced swords together of so many years. Suddenly, I seemed to understand a little…”

Ling Xi felt that her soul was no longer light and was gradually filled with energy. Warmth flowed from the palm of the person beside her to her whole body.

“Ling Xi, I don’t know how your soul could recover after becoming broken shards inside the silver mirror and was able to return. But, you can’t die because of me…” Qing Kui’s voice was getting farther and farther away. Ling Xi wanted to grab him, but it was empty around her.

“I can’t watch you die in front of me once again. Ling Xi, I can’t bear that kind of pain once again.”

Qing Kui’s voice was clearly still in her ears, but she couldn’t feel him or see him…

Once her soul returned to this body, would she weaken again without the protection of big brother’s spiritual energy? No, she clearly felt a force growing in her body.

“Senior brother Qing Kui…senior brother Qing Kui…” Ling Xi called anxiously in her heart. She struggled and started using that force. Suddenly, she opened her eyes.

The light of the silver mirror seemed to drove away the darkness of the world. A weird blue color presented itself in the sky. With the rotation of the silver mirror, that blue was sometimes light, sometimes dark, making the whole world change irregularly under the light and darkening. Under the silver light, that green garment couldn’t be ignored no matter what.

He charged into the light source as quickly as lightening. The wind blew his hair bun and made it loosen and made his lapel become disordered. Xiangyin sword seemed to be wailing. Juisheng was crying loudly.

Qing Kui burned up almost all his life and bumped into the silver mirror.

Ling Xi whole body felt like it burst apart. She couldn’t cry; she wouldn’t be able to see Qing Kui’s last appearance. She couldn’t shout; his voice was still lingering in her ears and hasn’t dispersed.

“Ling Xi, forgive senior brother’s selfishness. I can’t watch you die once more…The silver mirror brought you back to life. So, as long as there is him, you will live again, right?”

“Ling Xi, I give you energy of a thousand years of cultivation. You must take back the silver mirror and live well!”

“Ling Xi, you are the ugliest girl I have ever seen in my life…”

“But, Ah Chou, I…like…”

Boom!

Qing Kui’s body passed through the silver light and hit the silver mirror that kept rotating. Blood splashed like ocean spray. That moment seemed to hit Ling Xi’s brain, hitting her so hard that everything in front of her became blank. After the sharp piercing sound of the tinnitus, Qing Kui’s voice was gone, the fighting sounds around her was gone, the light of the silver mirror was gone, the pain ion her body was gone.

The whole world was washed away by Qing Kui’s blood.

He was hit to the ground and badly mangled.

He gave her a thousand years of cultivation and with his essence of life, he stopped the silver mirror from casting the spell.

He let her live on, but he died.

But, who will know that she feels like being alive is a living hell?

Feng Shu stood still in the air. He no longer reached out that hand that was warm like jade at her. Ming Sheng stared at her with an expression that had profound melancholy. He no longer had the mischievous expression of an ordinary child. Nan Zhi’s hand held the silver mirror that recovered its original shape. His eyes looking at her where enveloped in mystery.

Why do they look at her?

Senior brother Qing Kui clearly said that she was very ugly.

Senior brother Qing Kui also said, “Ah Chou, I like…”

What did he like?

She would help him get whatever he likes as long as he was alive.

Oh, senior brother Qing Kui seemed to have also said that she must take back the silver mirror. Silver mirror.

Ling Xi’s eyes were empty. She staggered step by step forward as if she would fall at any time, but she didn’t. She stubbornly and slowly walked to the man in black. A strange smile appeared on her pale face. “Can you give him back to me?”

She pointed at the silver mirror in Nan Zhi’s hand.

Nan Zhi’s frowned slightly. He raised his hand, seemingly wanted to wipe the blood from her face. However, in the end, he restrained himself. His hand clenched into a fist, lowered and rested at his side

“Who…are you?” Nan Zhi asked. His voice was inexplicably hoarse and shook.

“I’m Jing Yan, your highness the devil king.” Ling Xi tilted her head and smiled innocently. So innocent that there was no tint in the pupil of her eyes, “Can you give Qin Ling back to Jing Yan?”

“Who…who are you?” Nan Zhi asked through gritted teeth.

“What answer do you want to hear?” Ling Xi smiled so brightly that her cheeks became red. Her eyes were obviously empty and dull, but there was an inexplicable charm on her face. She hooked Nan Zhi’s neck and pulled him closer to her. The gently breath sprayed on his face, “Alright, I’m Chen Xi. Give Qin Ling back to Chen Xi, Nan Zhi.”

Her breath was like orchid. She suddenly kissed Nan Zhi. Her breath, his breath, all went into her mouth. Her tongue licked his cold lips, went into his mouth, seduced and sucked. She captured the coldness, gently sucked it and let the heat replace it. Her teeth didn’t care about softness or hardness, it bit and swallowed desperately. The bumping sounds of teeth and lips were clearly audible. The blood was mixed with the smell of despair and spread among them.

Nan Zhi’s stiff body gradually relaxed. His heartbeat gradually increased. The familiar lips, tongue and kiss was like a fire that ignited his whole body.

Slowly, he began to respond. The coldness that he had not easily built up when facing this face was melted by such a blaze. He couldn’t refuse and couldn’t bear to push her away. Such crazy and full of despair intertwining of the lips and teeth seemed to have awakened all the emotions he buried at the bottom of his heart. He didn’t want to stay sane anymore and didn’t want to think about who the person in front of him was. He only knew that he was hugging her and that she was very alive. And, he kissed her, she responded to him as if she had never left…

Never left, it was fine as long as she was by his side.

He fiercely pulled the woman in front of him into his arms. He kissed her back affectionately as if only the two of them were left in the word. It didn’t matter if it was blood or tears, as long as they were hers, he wanted them.

A chuckle emerged from the throat of the woman. She abruptly pushed him away and wiped the bright red blood from her mouth. A sneer appeared on her face, “Sure enough, it was still Chen Xi that is effective.”

He didn’t know when the silver mirror has left his hand and was already in the hands of Feng Shu. Ling Xi suddenly pulled the Soul-Suppressing pearl hanging on her neck and smiled, “If I throw it, would the soul of Chen Xi get out of this body?”

Nan Zhi’s fiery breath faded away quickly. He stared at the face that had a strange smile. Coldness appeared inch by inch on his face.

“After I throw it away, just take it as if I am Chen Xi and stay by your side my whole life, alright?” Ling Xi’s smile became more reckless and abnormal. That smile was a stark contrast to her pale and clean face.

When she spoke, she used energy, but her hand was stopped by Nan Zhi.

He clasped her wrist. Blades seemed to have emerged in his eyes. Blades made of ice. Wherever he looked, coldness would be cut there. At this moment, he stared at Ling Xi’s face and looked into the bottom of her eyes. Word by word, he said, “Get, out.”

An overbearing energy poured into Ling Xi’s body and wanted to drive out her two immortal parts and three mortal parts out of this body. She couldn’t resist it. Even with Qing Kui’s thousand years of cultivation, she was unable to withstand a single blow from Nan Zhi. However, she didn’t want to get out. She gritted her teeth and burned her last energy, not wanting to leave easily. She stubbornly grasped all the trammels in her body and stubbornly stared at Nan Zhi’s cold face.

Nan Zhi’s strength got stronger and stronger. The souls in the body had just been healed by the silver mirror and surged up violently, wanting to drive her out. She could feel the cross wound between her eyebrows split open again and oozing red blood beads.

“Nan Zhi, have you ever…loved me even if it was a tiny bit?” Ling Xi’s scarlet eyes seemed to be shedding tears of blood. While she stabilized her soul, she seemed to squeeze this sentence from her throat using all her energy.

Nan Zhi’s cold eyes shattered into pieces in this instant. Various kinds of emotions appeared, fluctuated and emerged; surprise, hesitation, joy, ache and even fear…

Before the emotions in his eyes finished fluctuating, his hand acted before his brain and let go of Ling Xi. It was at this moment that Ling Xi suddenly laughed out loudly and retreated as she floated in the sky, “Haha…because of this face…is it because of this face? It is because of this face! Nan Zhi, because of this face, you drove me out again and again!”

Nan Zhi’s expression changed greatly. A big wave of shock, horror and amazement emerged in his eyes. He flipped his body over and chased after Ling Xi.

“Haha…” Ling Xi faced Nan Zhi, but kept retreating. The speed was very fast. The laughter was sorrowful and delighted. She said, “Since you love this face so much, I will destroy it for you!”

Ling Xi’s eyes were bloodshot. The pale face was like scattered white petals and seized everyone’s attention in this dreary and fuzzy night.

Her hand touched her face. Whatever the five fingers grasped, she pulled it down decisively. Her pale face was instantaneously badly mangled and the bones could be seen. She took the ripped skin of her face and discarded it casually. The face healed again and returned to its original pale appearance. She touched her cheeks again, tearing them down. It was a bloody scene again.

She faced Nan Zhi and retreated with the wind. Nan Zhi chased after her frantically. The pain in his eyes covered the pale face.

Ling Xi, Ling Xi…

He chased after her and thought that he was about to catch up, but she retreated with even a faster speed.

She laughed and tore her face again and again while facing him. That face healed and returned to its original appearance repeatedly. Once healed, she would tear again.

“Ling Xi…Ling Xi…”

Perhaps, even after exhausting this life, he had never shouted so panicked and frightened. Perhaps, in this eternity, he would never feel this deep-rooted pain and despair again.

Her tears were mixed with the blood on her face. The bloody tears falling in the sky outlined a different color in the silver light. Her laughter resounded in the blue dome of heaven and spread widely through the six realms. She questioned accompanied with a delightful laughter she had never had before, “Haha…does it hurt? Nan Zhi, do you hurt? Seeing the face of the woman you love being tore in front of you, you hurt very much, right?”

One after another “Ling Xi” followed her, but she seemed to not have heard it. She laughed frantically until when Nan Zhi could no longer scream. A mouthful of blood came from his throat and merged with blood falling from Ling Xi’s face, staining the entire blue sky red.

“I won’t give it to you! Even if I have to ruin this body, I won’t give it to you!” Ling Xi seemed to want to use up all the energy from her body. She went with the wind. Her body spun around. Countless of small blades were all around her. The blades seemed like blooming lowers around her and cut her mercilessly.

Bloody rain seemed to have fallen from the sky. Wherever Ling Xi went, the blood dripped and nourished the spirit stone on the top of Cangjia Mountain.

The silver blades were stained red by blood in a short time. Flowers of blood seemed to bloom in the sky. It was splendid and enchanting. The laughter didn’t stop; the rain also didn’t stop.

The black silhouette was no longer confident and agile like usual. Mixed with fear and despair, he invaded like a hurricane and wrapped that person among the blood of flowers. They fell like leaves.

“Ling Xi, Ling Xi.” He hugged her. His whole body was trembling and his lips were shaking, but he couldn’t utter a sound.

There were no wounds on her body. The wounds were like her face. They healed after being cut. However, he still didn’t touch her too hard. He used a barrier to protect her. He looked at her pale face and tears burst out.

She cried and struggled in his arms, “I’m not Chen Xi…I’m not Chen Xi…I’m not Chen Xi!”

He kissed her tears away, but his tears fell on her face. He wiped the blood from her face, but the blood on his body stained her face again. He hoarsely called her “Ling Xi” again and again, but she still cried, cryingly saying that she isn’t “Chen Xi”.

When Ming Sheng saw this scene of the two people, his face paled from being scared. He stood at a side blankly. Feng Shu held the silver mirror and sighed, “Nan Zhi, either you lift the seal of the god realm yourself or hand over your true element.”

Nan Zhi turned a deaf ear to that. He hugged the woman in his arms as if his fear still hasn’t dissipated yet. His body still trembled slightly.

Feng Shu grasped a flower and attacked. Nan Zhi didn’t dodge. He let himself being attacked and let Feng Shu increase the power of the spell.

It doesn’t matter anymore. It all doesn’t matter anymore.

True element, cultivation, memory…deity? God? Devil? Nothing matters anymore.

The person in his arms gradually stopped breathing as if she would take her last breath and die the next moment.

Once more, she was going to die at his hands once more. He wouldn’t see her smile anymore in the future and wouldn’t be able to hear her voice again. No one would call him “turtle” and no one will sleep soundly in his arms.

If so, what does it have to do with him if this world was black or white?

What does it matter whether he was alive or dead?

His pressed her head firmly onto his chest and whispered, “If you want to die, let’s…die together.”

His fingers crossed Ling Xi’s forehead. He took out Soul Attractor and moved his lips slightly.

The broken souls inside of Ling Xi’s body had been stitched together by the silver mirror. Like a cloud, it drifted out from her forehead. At one side of the Soul Attractor, a ray of soul laughed and was about to say something when it entangled and merged with another soul.

Feng Shu casted a spell on him, wanting to take his true element. Nan Zhi casted a spell on Chen Xi, trying to assemble her soul.

The night of Cangjia Mountain passed eventually. The morning light slightly exposed at the east horizon.

Nan Zhi closed his eyes and casted a spell. Therefore, he didn’t see the purse of tail feathers on Ling Xi. Suddenly, there was a bright shine. Three true elements floated out. Another ray of soul floated out from her forehead. That ray of soul quickly merged with the three true elements, became one and congealed into a multicolored ball of light.

The person in his arms suddenly didn’t breathe anymore. Nan Zhi abruptly opened his eyes and saw the light of the ball was piercing and charged into the sky with a sound of thunder.

Bang…

Silvery white light was like the morning sun during daybreak and illuminated the whole world. Something in the sky shattered into pieces. After the loud noise, there was a fine crackling sound. Shattering along was that ball of light that was full of power just now. It turned into little meteors and fell silently.

The sun break ground at the east just in time. The sunlight shone over all things. Ten thousand gods had awakened.

On the top of Cangjia mountain, two figures, one big and one small stood in astonishment. A man fell and sat on the ground. The woman he held in his arms didn’t have any sign of breathing. The two rays of souls around him had merged and fell into the woman’s forehead.
