Xu Gu put his palms together devoutly and turned to face Xiaoyue, saying: "If your sect really encounters difficulties, Master Xiaoyue can just say it. We as fellows should all work together to help your sect tide over the difficulties." As fellows of the righteous course, he also did not want Xiaoyue to hide something from everyone.
Xiaoyue"s face changed and quickly said, "Brother Xu Gu, you must not listen to this person. I..." Before she finished speaking, the red-robed man burst out laughing. "If she is willing to say, why did the leader of the Thousand Feathers Sect incite the other four sects to kill the person surnamed Xiao thousands of years ago?"
When he said this, other people in the hall were at a loss. But Xiao Chen"s face changed. Thousands of years ago, many things happened in the five sects. The big devil, Gu Feng, was sealed by the true patriarch of the Xiao family in the Human World, Xiao Ning, who was surrounded and killed by the five major sects. "The person surnamed Xiao" might refer to Xiao Ning. Who exactly was this person? How did he know so much?
"Amitabha..." Xu Gu chanted Buddha"s name, and the look on his face seemed to become quite serious. He said, "It"s been a thousand years since this happened. Why should you bring up the matter again?"
Xiao Chen stepped forth and looked very dignified. "Although I don"t know who you are, I"d like to ask you, what happened in those days? The person whose surname was Xiao, was he called Xiao Ning?"
Upon hearing the word "Xiao Ning", not only did Xiaoyue"s face change but also that of Xu Gu. His face changed greatly, and he read the scripture constantly in a small voice.
The red-robed man smiled gently and said to Xu Gu, "Buddhist Sects are supposed to teach people to be kind, but in those days, you people forced one person to become a demon. Master, are you confessing to Buddha now?"
Xu Gu was still reading scripture, while Xiao Chen"s body has trembled slightly. Back then, Xiao Ning must have suffered great injustice. He took the Samsara Jade fragments and came to the Human World to establish the Xiao family. Who was behind all these? This surely had something to do with his resurrection. But Xiao Ning"s current location was completely a mystery. Xiao Chen asked, "Please tell us what happened in details."
The red-robed man smiled gently. "The matter of that year was too far away. I only know that Xiao Ning was entrusted by someone to do one thing, but the Thousand Feathers Sect tried hard to stop it. As for the reason, surely Fairy Xiaoyue should know more than I do." As his voice fell, he cast his eyes on Xiaoyue"s face.
At the moment, Xiaoyue"s face had already changed greatly. She said in a quavering voice, "Back then, Xiao Ning was willing to degenerate, betrayed the Xiao family, and worked with the Devil"s Practice. There was no reason not to kill him. What were we stopping him for?"
"Hey hey hey hey..." Xiao Chen suddenly laughed in a low voice. It seemed that there was an ancient Xiao family in the Violet Manor indeed, but this Xiao family had nothing to do with him! On the contrary, Xiao Chen felt very disgusted that they forced Xiao Ning to fall into the Devil"s Practice.
Luo Shangyan turned and saw him look horrible. She quietly asked, "Junior Brother Xiao, what"s the matter?"
Xiao Chen ignored her and said to Xiaoyue coldly, "Fairy Xiaoyue, was that true?"
Xiaoyue didn"t expect him to mess up at this point and didn"t know how he learned the name Xiao Ning. She said to the red-robed man, "Who the h.e.l.l are you?"
The red-robed man smiled gently. "Who I am is not important. The important thing is, do you and the Thousand Feathers Sect really think you can deceive the world? Thousands of years ago, your patriarch sealed a dead man, hoping that he would never be reincarnated. But you didn"t know that after thousands of years, the spirit energy of the seal was running out. And if that man is resurrected, your sect will be doomed. Therefore, you have targeted at us, Fairy Xiaoyue, am I right?"
After hearing this, people were shocked. Was such a big issue true? The Thousand Feathers Sect had been hiding this matter for thousands of years?
Xiaoyue"s face turned extremely pale, and she said in a quavering voice. "What are you babbling about here! Who the h.e.l.l are you? Where did you hear these?"
The red-robed man smiled. "I"m just a dead man, and naturally, I heard these words from another dead man."
The crowd was confused by his words and did not know what was going on. Xiaoyue then immediately said, "Do you hear him? How can we believe this person since he has no logic?"
"Amitabha..." Xu Gu chanted Buddha"s name and said, "We cannot change the past, but today, we are determined not to allow you to open the Blood Soul Formation."
The red-robed man smiled. "In two days, the Blood Soul Formation will open. You can"t stop it."
Just then, a cold voice sounded, "I don"t care what formation you want to open, I just want to know one thing!" The crowd looked over the voice. Mu Chengxue walked forth.
Mu Chengxue walked to the front of the crowd, and her dagger coldly pointed at the man. "Tell me! Where is my brother?"
The man quietly looked at her dagger and gently smiled. "Like hair in the morning and turns into the snow by night. The sword in your hand is called Twilight String. It is a pair to the Morning Song. The Morning Song has long been lost, and your brother has long been dead..."
Mu Chengxue looked like she suffered an electric shock. Her body quivered, and the arm which was holding the Twilight String trembled. She said in a quavering voice, "You... You killed my brother..." As her voice fell, she thrust out her sword.
The red-robed man floated sideways, and the Sword Qi hit and shattered the screen behind him. Yu Yifeng said hurriedly, "Miss Mu! You must not be provoked by this person!" When speaking, he moved to her side instantly to prevent the red-robed man from attacking her.
However, the red-robed man did not seem to make any moves. Mu Chengxue pushed Yu Yifeng away and thrust at the red-robed man again. This time, her sword technique became sharper. Dozens of rows of sword radiance appeared in the hall. Suddenly, the hall was bl.u.s.tery, and the tiles were rattling.
Dozens of rows of sword radiance flew to the man. But something surprising happened. The unparalleled sword radiance unexpectedly pa.s.sed through the man"s body as if hitting the air.
Xiao Chen seemed to be aware of something. At this moment, a torrent of evil qi came from the southeast. All the people were frightened and went out of the hall one after another. Looking over to the southeast, they saw a huge red radiance rising up into the sky and connecting the clouds.
Xu Gu exclaimed, "Oh, no! It"s the Blood Soul Formation!" Looking back, the red-robed man in the hall had already disappeared.
At this time, people finally understood that the red-robed man was just an illusion. His real body was activating the Blood Soul Formation somewhere. No wonder he let Leng Ningfeng go first. He said those words just to delay the crowd.
"Master Xiaoyue! Go stop it!" After saying so, Xu Gu moved his fingers, turned into a beam of golden light, and rushed to the red radiance. The place was no longer restricted, so the rest of the people took out their flying swords and followed.
A dozen people arrived at the place where the red radiance was located. They saw Leng Ningfeng and the red-robed man standing on both sides of the formation, chanting. Countless blood was drawn from the ground and poured into the red radiance. In a flash, the heaven and earth lost color, and the whole sky was shone red.
Xiao Chen was incredibly shocked. Was this the Blood Soul Formation? Charged by countless creatures, the most ruthless formation in ancient times!
"Please, stop it quickly!" Xu Gu thundered and turned into a golden light, rushing toward the two people. Xiaoyue"s heart was tied to the Earth Spiritual Meridian. If the Blood Soul Formation consumed the power of this Earth Spiritual Meridian, her trip would be in vain. She also rushed over instantly.
However, when the two men were 20 meters away from the red radiance, they were suddenly sent back by a mighty force. If the formation had not been activated, they could still work together to stop it. At this moment, the formation had already been activated, and it was impossible for them to break through the barrier outside the formation.
At this moment, people in the city below the mountain also saw this towering red radiance. n.o.body knew what had happened. When many people looked at the red radiance, gradually lost their senses, and wisps of smoke rose from the top of their heads and moved toward the red radiance, people panicked and realized that the huge red radiance was collecting people"s souls.
At the moment, there was a constant sound of horror in the city. Countless people began to flee outside the city. However, many people"s souls were collected before they ran out.
The homeland now became an inferno. Countless people began to pray on the ground for their city master to save them. But they still did not know it was the city master they worshipped that was destroying all these.
The evil Qi on the mountain was surging, and the wind whistled madly. The red-robed man turned his back to everyone and laughed in a low voice. "It"s been a hundred years! A hundred years!"
Xu Gu shook his head and sighed. Xiaoyue also knew perfectly well that it was difficult to change the situation now. The power of the Spiritual Meridian was gradually dissipated, and the power of the Blood Soul Formation became stronger and stronger. Leng Ningfeng said, "It"s okay now. I"ll stop them, and you can start."
The red-robed man nodded, and the spiritual force around gradually gathered to the red beam, and the previous barrier also gradually dissipated. Upon seeing this, Xiaoyue moved and wielded her Duster toward the red-robed man. Leng Ningfeng moved lightly and instantly blocked the blow.
"If you want to stop him, stop me first." While speaking, his True Energy shook, and the aura of both immortal and devil immediately sent out from his body. Compared with before in the Immortals League Compet.i.tion, he was many times stronger. The crowd exclaimed, "It"s the Fallen Immortal!"
The Fallen Immortal could also be called Fallen Devil. It had the strength of both Immortals and Devils. Ye Wuhen was in fear. If this one had used all his strength in the Immortals League Compet.i.tion, Ye Wuhen would have died already.
"Amitabha..." Xu Gu chanted Buddha"s name, and the Mace of Exorcism immediately turned into a golden light and flew to Leng Ningfeng. He also moved and punched with King Kong Palm.
In mid-air, a golden palm print appeared instantly, stirring up the energy around. Leng Ningfeng smiled coldly and pointed at the void with his finger. A row of white radiance knocked back the incoming Mace of Exorcism and then turned into a black fog that rushed at the golden palm print.
The two forces collided with each other and made a loud bang, which buzzing in people"s ears.
Xu Gu and Xiaoyue both had reached the state of transcendental holiness. However, at the moment, they were still struggling to deal with Leng Ningfeng who could release the power of both immortal and devil. Yu Yifeng said, "Wu Nian, do you really want to help the bad?"
Leng Ningfeng smiled. "As I said, I haven"t been using this name for a long time. You can come together!"
Yu Yifeng was educated from an early age that the people in this world was of top priority. Today, he must not watch the people in the city below the mountain die. "Swoosh!" He took out his Immortal"s Sword. But when he was about to move forward, he suddenly found that Mu Chengxue standing beside him had become somewhat abnormal.
"Miss Mu! What"s wrong?"
Mu Chengxue"s face suddenly became blank, and her eyes were strange while looking at him. At this moment, the red-robed man spoke.
"A Xue, have you been looking for me?"
This time, the voice was no longer as empty as before. It was a clear voice from a man.
