Chapter 197: Luo Jianqing, You Got to Make It (vi)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Xuan Lingzi saw his beloved Luo Jianqing, who was staring at him in disbelief. His face was stained by blood, and a long sword penetrated his heart. Luo Jianqing pinched the blade with his fingers, staggering towards Xuan Lingzi step by step.
Each step was followed by a gush of blood.
Tears dropped from Luo Jianqing’s eyes, but he was smiling and asking repeatedly, “Why…why you don’t save me?”
Xuan Lingzi’s eyes were bloodshot and body continuously trembling. He had felt his spiritual had gone out of control, breaking each meridian in his body. Blood trickled down from his mouth, but he didn’t act, just gazing at the man who was approaching him.
“Why did you accept him as your disciple?”
“Why didn’t you tell me you love me?”
“Why did you sit by and watch I betrayed by others?”
“Wuyin, di you really…love me?”
Boom!
Xuan Lingzi’s world abruptly collapsed. He spat a mouthful of gold blood, but he went all out to rush forward and hugged that man. He took his beloved into his arms, holding him tightly. He put his hand to Luo Jianqing’s wound, trying to stem the bleeding. Xuan Lingzi repeated, “Jianqing, don’t die, don’t die…just don’t leave me alone…”
However, the blood just kept spurting out. The man in his arms got paler and weaker.
Luo Jianqing raised his hand and stroked Xuan Lingzi’s face, saying in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Master, do you really…love me?”
Xuan Lingzi replied immediately, “Yes, I love you.”
But Luo Jianqing just smiled, “Sure, you love me, but that didn’t stop you accepting another disciple, and you didn’t stop him framing me. When I was expelled from the Tai Hua Mountain, where were you? When I was hunted down by all the Dao Cultivators in the world, where were you!”
Xuan Lingzi didn’t know how to react. After a long silence, he said, “The law of nature told me that was the best for you. It was also prophetic that only under such circ.u.mstances could you…”
“Wu Yin, you don’t love me at all.”
Xuan Lingzi opened his eyes wide, “Jianqing…”
“Yes, maybe you love me, but you only love my body, not me. If you really love me, you wouldn’t have allowed me to be wronged, you wouldn’t have stood in my opposition and let him kill me!”
“Jianqing!”
“Wuyin, why don’t you…die with me?”
Xuan Lingzi lowered his head and gazed at this sneering young man. The cold smile was full of hatred, making his handsome face tinted with ferociousness. Yet Xuan Lingzi looked at him, full of tender affection. His eyes were bloodshot, but he didn’t want to look away even for a second.
His voice exuded tenderness and love, “Jianqing…”
Luo Jianqing also softened his voice as if he was enthralling Xuan Lingzi, “Wuyin, just die with me…”
Just as he finished, Luo Jianqing suddenly widened his eyes. He goggled at the master in white with disbelief. A knife had been held in his hand and stabbed into Xuan Lingzi’s heart. However, it just went one inch into his heart and was stopped by Xuan Lingzi.
Xuan Lingzi’s bloodshot eyes gradually returned to normal. With tender and amiable eyes, Xuan Lingzi said with a spoiling voice, “Even if you are just another man under his skin, I don’t want to hurt you.”
Hearing that, Luo Jianqing’s eyes trembled.
He lowered his head quietly and gave out a light smile, suddenly disappearing.
The environment changed again. Xuan Lingzi returned to that narrow canyon and his chest was damp with blood. He suddenly collapsed, with a trickle of blood oozed from his mouth, while he still clenched the pill in his right hand.
Half a day later, Xuan Lingzi finally recovered. The wound had basically healed, leaving a hole on his clothes. The knife-penetrated hole was quite conspicuous, but he just ignored it. When he stood up again, he felt refreshed.
It seemed that the shadow that blighted him for a long time had been driven away. He felt that he had extricated himself from a predicament or got rid of spiritual shackles.
Xuan Lingzi looked clam with clear eyes. He started walking out of the canyon.
When he left, he finally relieved, as even for Xuan Lingzi, this was a scary experience. Only by then did he begin to examine the pill in his palm. He used his spiritual insight to perceive the pill, yet he was totally shocked with wide-opened eyes.
“It’s not a pill…it’s spiritual power?!”
The Fiend Realm.
The sky shed variegated lights, as if it were soaked with rosy clouds.
Suddenly, countless red lights flashed across the sky from the east, making a lot of Fiend Cultivators fly out of their homes and watch this unusual scene. In the Fiend Palace, the Right Great Guardian Qin Siyi teleported to the outside and vigilantly stared at the sky, half of which had been covered by those red lights.
When the red lights flashed to the top of the Palace, Qin Siyi was greatly frightened and hurried back to the Palace.
The red lights stopped over the top of the Grand Hall. Suddenly, they fell down quickly, all squeezing into the majestic hall, stirring up tremendous waves of spiritual power.
Qin Siyi, who had reached the outside of the hall, narrowed his eyes as he saw it.
After a long silence, he knelt over, with a tint of sadness appeared on his poised face.
“Your Exalt!”
