Chapter 123 Can't Bring It On?
Si Jinchuan coughed up a mouthful of blood, but there was no fear or sadness in his eyes, only a faint smile.
He grabbed the sword pointing at Xie Wanning, leaned forward, and the blade pierced his heart with unerring accuracy.
"Wan Ning, I owe you a life. I broke the contract first, so I will naturally compensate you." Si Jinchuan smiled, took another step, and blood flowed from the sword, staining Si Jinchuan's blue clothes red.
Xie Wanning felt a headache coming on; she remembered something.
In her past life, Xie Wanning and Si Jinchuan were exploring a secret realm when Xie Wanning was bitten by an eighth-grade venomous snake. The snake's venom triggered the poison Jiang Ci had administered to her, causing dozens of poisons to suddenly take effect and almost instantly take Xie Wanning's life.
It was Si Jinchuan who took out a precious Grade 9 antidote pill, which temporarily saved Xie Wanning's life.
He took Xie Wanning to Hundred Herbs Valley and asked Tang Zhang, the sect leader of Hundred Herbs Valley, to save Xie Wanning. Tang Zhang agreed, but they lacked a Grade 9 Resurrection Grass.
Si Jinchuan went to find the Resurrection Grass, but was stopped by the Ninth-Rank Flame Tiger guarding the Resurrection Grass. In order to get the herb, even though he only had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, he rushed up to fight the Flame Tiger. In the end, he was seriously injured, with both arms broken and ribs fractured.
However, in order to obtain the herbs, Si Jinchuan disregarded his own life, detonating his golden core and severely injuring the Flame Tiger.
Despite losing all his cultivation and being on the verge of death, he still managed to deliver the Resurrection Grass to Tang Zhang in time.
Xie Wanning was saved, but Si Jinchuan's dantian was shattered, and he could no longer cultivate.
"It's alright, I'm a body cultivator, cultivation level isn't important." Si Jinchuan, lying on the bed, smiled weakly, "As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."
Xie Wanning's tears flowed uncontrollably.
Later, Si Jinchuan was expelled from the sect and could only become an ordinary person, supporting himself by farming in the fields.
Xie Wanning knew that Si Jinchuan still wanted to cultivate, because she saw him wielding that no longer sharp greatsword in the middle of the night.
In order to give Si Jinchuan a chance to cultivate, Xie Wanning constantly explored secret realms and searched for medical cultivators. Finally, she found a way to restore Si Jinchuan's dantian and repair his spiritual root.
Si Jinchuan was able to cultivate again, but his cultivation level could no longer catch up with others. The senior brother, who was known as the "cultivation prodigy of Yunxiao Sect," rarely appeared in other people's sight.
Later, Xie Wanning and Si Jinchuan got engaged. At that time, Si Jinchuan said, "Wanning, we will never abandon each other. If we break our promise, may we be struck by lightning."
"Ah."
Xie Wanning suddenly pulled her sword back. She looked helplessly at the sword in her hand, then at Si Jinchuan, whose consciousness was gradually fading. Past events echoed in her mind.
Why did Si Jinchuan want to kill her, yet also save her?
Xie Wanning was filled with mixed emotions. She channeled her spiritual power into Si Jinchuan, who had fainted on the ground, to heal his injuries.
Since Xie Wanning regained her memories, the clearest thing she remembered was how she died, so her heart was filled with nothing but revenge. Now, every little detail about her past life with Si Jinchuan has become clear. Before Si Jinchuan became possessed by demons, he was genuinely good to her and saved Xie Wanning's life many times at the risk of his own.
This is also where Xie Wanning owes Si Jinchuan, which is why she has always trusted Si Jinchuan.
Now, with love and hate constantly intertwined in her heart, Xie Wanning truly doesn't know how to choose.
"Can't bring yourself to do it?"
"Ah."
"How about I come?"
"No need, let's go back! I'm tired, sister."
Xie Wanning turned around and saw that the white figure had already been stained red with blood, and the scarlet eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Forget it, just pass on the technique to him first, then throw him back. He's still somewhat useful now, he won't die immediately." Xie Wanning wiped the blood from her face and sneered.
Xie Wanning quickly transmitted the cultivation technique to Si Jinchuan. Seeing that Si Jinchuan was about to wake up, she brought Si Jinchuan back to his consciousness space.
The original space of consciousness was filled with ashes, like a forest burned by flames, emitting a foul smell.
"My work, not bad, right! That inner demon was burned to a daze by me, and won't cause any more trouble for a while. The one who came to kill you that night was indeed Si Jinchuan, but it was Si Jinchuan who had fallen into demonic possession." 'Xie Wanning' looked around with great satisfaction and smiled indifferently.
Damage to the consciousness space would lead to a decline in cultivation, but that was Si Jinchuan's own business, and Xie Wanning didn't want to get involved anymore.
Returning to her own consciousness space, Xie Wanning sat down and recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra to suppress the restless inner demons within her.
"The cultivation technique has already been passed on to Si Jinchuan. You should have less contact with him in the future. The love from your past life is long gone. Although he saved you, he also harbored murderous intentions towards you," Xie Wanning advised.
"I understand." Xie Wanning waved wearily, then lay down on the ground and drifted off to sleep.
Xie Wanning's eyes were deep, but she didn't say anything more and instantly disappeared from the space of consciousness.
Outside the secret realm.
Everyone's expression was solemn.
Just half an hour ago, all the projection stones displaying the situation in the secret realm suddenly stopped working. Yan Ze made a quick decision to open the secret realm.
Unexpectedly, the exit of the secret realm could not be opened. If the secret realm was forcibly opened, it would immediately self-destruct, and all the cultivators and spirit beasts inside would perish.
Now, only Song Huai'an, Si Jinchuan, Xiao Shuo, Zhong Yingxiu, Jiang Ci, Ye Qianqian, and Xu Weilin remain in the secret realm; everyone else has been teleported out.
Why haven't Senior Brother Song and the others come out yet?
"Is the inner demon formation still not broken?"
"No way, what exactly is Xu Weilin up to?!"
……
The disciples were making a ruckus, worried about the disciples in the secret realm.
"Sect Leader Yan, is there no other way?" Ling Moqing, the sect leader of Yunxiao Sect, asked anxiously.
The other sect leaders also focused their attention on Yan Ze.
The secret realm remains closed, and it's uncertain whether the disciples within will suffer harm.
Compared to the secret realms in the wild, the secret realms within a sect are generally under a contract with the sect. The secret realm provides the sect with a training ground, and the sect must regularly invest spirit stones into the secret realm to replenish its spiritual energy losses.
Therefore, the secret realms within a sect are personally managed by the sect leader, and can be opened with just a command from the sect leader.
If the secret realm cannot be opened, it means that something unexpected has happened inside, preventing the gate from opening.
However, only those at the Mahayana stage or above have the ability to control the secret realm. Others cannot even find the center of the secret realm, let alone control it.
"Wait a little longer," Yan Ze calmly reassured the various sect leaders.
Lin Xuanjin looked at the unusual secret realm and called Meng Qingyue back, who had just been teleported back.
He had previously witnessed Meng Qingyue and the others' ordeal in the secret realm. They were surrounded by other minor sects, and after struggling desperately but finding they could not escape, Meng Qingyue chose to self-destruct his golden core.
Those from the smaller sects were frightened and quickly crushed their tokens and fled.
Lin Xuanjin immediately grabbed the disciples of the small sects who had been teleported back and learned that after their sect leaders were killed, the Yuntian Sect, Qingxin Sect, and Dali Sect had all disbanded and joined other small sects, seizing the leadership positions of those sects. The small sects had joined forces to kill Meng Qingyue and the others to vent their anger.
"A blood debt must be repaid! Lin Xuanjin, you killed our sect leader, so we will kill your disciples."
Lin Xuanjin couldn't kill anyone at the sect competition, so he had to let those disciples go.
He watched the scene projected onto the stone alone, very worried about how Meng Qingyue and the others were doing.
Fortunately, I later saw that Meng Qingyue and the others were safe and sound, and I also saw Xu Weilin appear.
However, unexpectedly, Xu Weilin was trapped in the secret realm and did not come out.
Lin Xuanjin examined Meng Qingyue's body and found that his dantian had actually recovered. Although his spiritual root was damaged, as long as his dantian was still intact, he would have the possibility of cultivation.
"So, what exactly did Xiaolin say when she parted ways with you?"
"Senior Sister only told us to collect tokens, she didn't say anything else," Meng Qingyue replied. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he took out a wooden puppet from his waist.
"This was given to me by my senior sister."
Before the master and apprentice could react, the puppet jumped out of Meng Qingyue's hand and turned into a person.
