There was silence ahead, so silent that it was frightening and terrifying. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There seemed to be no life at all ahead, only the breath of death hovering there.

Ye Shuo walked forward silently.

Silence, silence, silence. No one said a word along the way.

The imaginary hysterical madness and sadness did not appear. There was no expression on his face. The expressionless calmness of the face makes people feel suffocated.

Ahead are still the familiar Xuantian Sect, familiar roads, familiar houses, familiar trees and flowers, but they have been destroyed and dilapidated, and only by carefully distinguishing can we find the original shadow. The sparse trees were crumbling corpses, and the grass was all dyed red.

The silence after the chaos is terrible. The huge rubble formed a barren ruin, without its original brilliance and magnificence, and only a blank space remained. Lives are devastated, infinite desolation is growing wildly here, and there is some dark emotion that is madly devouring Ye Shuo's desperate heart.

Continuing to move forward, the scene became more and more tragic.

The ground was scorched black, and there was charcoal black everywhere under his feet, and it was impossible to tell what it was. Maybe it was a charred branch, maybe it was a fallen tile, or maybe it was a part of the body of the Xuantian Sect disciples. The air was filled with a choking smell and black smoke, and such a scene was like death descending and taking the lives of everyone on the ground.

Those dead disciples couldn't even bury them properly. It can be said that in this battlefield, not even a complete corpse can be found, and some people are even directly turned into ashes, and there are no bones left.

"We ...... Let's go to the back mountain and have a look......" Ye Shuo said softly, he closed his eyes, he couldn't bear to look at such a picture again. Then he seemed to comfort himself, "Maybe there...... Maybe there will be surviving disciples there......"

The silent crowd nodded.

Still silent all the way, he passed through the main hall and walked towards the back mountain.

"Wait! That's ......" The advisor was in the midst of the ruins when he suddenly saw a figure. The man was moving slowly, very slowly, but not to be ignored.

"Great Elder!?" everyone was excited and hurriedly surrounded them.

The Great Elder is indeed the only survivor of this ruin.

However, the Great Elder's injuries were extremely severe, and the blood covered in his body made him look like a bloody man. However, this blood is not his, and the Great Elder has not suffered any external injuries on his body, but his spiritual power fluctuations are extremely weak, and he can't even compare to the Qi Accumulation Period. Obviously, this was due to the extremely heavy spiritual attack.

The "Mixed Yuan One Qigong" practiced by the Great Elder once made his body like a body of steel, invulnerable, but now he couldn't resist the attack of spiritual power...... Is the Void Pole already so powerful!?

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Ye Shuo didn't care to ask more, and hurriedly accumulated all the remaining spiritual power, and sent it to the Great Elder's body in one go.

The more he tried and felt the Great Elder's bottomless pit, Ye Shuo knew that his current efforts were just a drop in the bucket, and the Great Elder's injuries were too serious, even Da Luo Jindan could not get his life back. This realization made Ye Shuo's heart sour again.

"You ...... Alas...... Cough...... cough...... "The Great Elder received Ye Shuo's spiritual assistance, and finally regained some of his strength to speak, but his lifeless face was as bad as before. He waved his hand with difficulty, signaling that Ye Shuo didn't have to waste any more strength for him, and then sighed deeply.

"You children...... How...... It's just so disobedient......"

Ye Shuo's nose was sour again. The Great Elder's loving and slightly reproachful tone made him feel as if he had gone back to the past for a moment. It would be nice if they could really be reprimanded here by the elders of the sect because of their unruly behavior as they did at the beginning.

However, everyone knows very well in their hearts that they can't go back.

Qi Lingsha, who has always been talkative and noisy, always seems to have endless burning vitality on her body, but now she is just standing quietly aside, with unfading blood red in her eyes. Tears no longer flowed from her eyes, but the boundless ocean of sadness would forever settle in her heart.

After she woke up, she did not complain about the fact that everyone forcibly took her off the battlefield against her will. In the same way, she never spoke. She is like a doll manipulated by sadness, she hides when everyone asks her to hide in the grass, and everyone wants to take her back to Xuantian to send her back, she is at the mercy of almost no longer any thoughts.

The only difference is that she relies on Chu Tianyao more than before. She always walked beside him and stared at him timidly. Only when she was looking at Chu Tianyao did she look a little like a wounded little girl, and she would rarely reveal helplessness and vulnerability. But when looking at others, her gaze was always empty, with a kind of empty indifference.

The passing of the dustless Taoist made the once spicy and arrogant girl stay in time forever. She will never come back.

Similarly, when everyone was hiding in the grass, there were all the pursuers of the Burning Heaven Sect coming and going in front of them, Ye Shuo wanted to rush out and kill them several times, first avenging part of the revenge for the master and the Xuantian Sect, but they were all stopped by the advisors.

Once you get into contact with a group of enemies, your whereabouts will undoubtedly be revealed, and the enemies will kill more and more, and they will inevitably be wiped out here due to exhaustion.

The advisor always seems to be so calm, he can arrange a series of plans in an orderly manner. Even the tragedy of destroying the door did not shake his mind much.

Ye Shuo finally complied with the advisor's advice. But his eyes were still burned with hatred.

The self who couldn't bear to step on even an ant would one day be so crazy to end someone else's life. It's really all changed, and they can't go back to the past. Those simple and happy and carefree times have been buried together with this ruined Peach Blossom Garden.

"Yes, it's all because the disciples didn't stop them. Chu Tianyao's voice pulled him back to reality.

They came back this time, not with the idea of dying with the enemy, but before leaving, they all wanted to go back to this home again. At the same time, if there are still surviving disciples here, it is natural to take them away as well. Leave here first, and then decide where to go in the future.

In fact, not to mention others, where to go, now they are still a fog in their own minds.

After waiting until the sun set, and after repeated stepping on the spot, it was estimated that the enemy had indeed gone far, and the group re-entered the Xuantian Sect.

There was only the last glimmer of light left in the sky, and the dull twilight enveloped them from all sides. The road ahead is bleak, like their hopeless prospects. This situation and this scene make people feel very bleak.

"Well, forget it...... It's good that you're back......" The Great Elder coughed twice, blood running down the corners of his mouth, "I...... I want to go to the back mountain to see the spiritual weapon, but with a body like me, it seems that I can't go...... Shuo'er, you know the place, go quickly...... Check it out...... Artifact ...... Be sure to keep the spiritual artifact......"

Ye Shuo nodded again and again. Although he knew that most of the spiritual weapons were no longer there, and the enemy had attacked the mountain on a large scale, it was for the spiritual weapons, how could he possibly abandon the important loot? I am afraid that even if they turn over the back mountain, they will definitely dig up the spiritual weapons. But in front of the dying Great Elder, Ye Shuo could only try to make a guarantee, hoping to inject him with a little more faith in survival.

The Great Elder nodded in satisfaction. The oil ran out and the lamp withered, making his face seem to have aged for decades in a day. With a trembling palm, he took out a piece of ancient jade that had been soaked in blood. In fact, the ancient jade is only half a piece, or even less, and the shape is irregular.

"Shuo'er, you ......" The Great Elder held Gu Yu's hand and trembled, trying to hand it to Ye Shuo, but his arm was unable to lift it.

"Your background...... Life...... Your father he ......"

The raised arm hung down.

The palm holding Gu Yu slammed weakly on the ground.

The Great Elder closed his eyes and stopped breathing for a moment entirely.

"Great Elder!!" Ye Shuo's eyes widened. This was the first time in his life that he had heard news about his father, and in a hurry, he shook the Great Elder repeatedly, "Great Elder, what is my background like? My physique is so strange, does it have anything to do with my background? What's wrong with my father? Tell me!"

But the Great Elder would no longer answer him.

The only clue left for him was that piece of incomplete ancient jade.

Ye Shuo trembled and picked up the ancient jade, his fingers constantly rubbing on the surface, trying to wipe away the bloodstains.

The advisor stared at him, and before he could say anything to comfort, a loud shout suddenly sounded not far away: "Chu Tianyao, what did you promise me!!"

A figure was as fast as the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it had already swept in front of him, and without saying a word, he swung a punch towards Chu Tianyao's face.

Chu Tianyao was beaten and staggered, but the man did not give up, followed by another punch, like madness.

"You promised to help me take care of An Yun, is this how you take care of it? An Yun is dead! My brother is dead! Chu Tianyao, don't stop talking! You look at me! You answer me!"

It was only at this time that everyone saw clearly that the emaciated figure that looked like a madman in the market was actually their former senior brother Gong Tianying, who was always personable and seemed to only live in legends!

"Chu Tianyao, are you worthy of me?!" Gong Tianying was so angry that he had lost his mind.

As soon as he heard the news that the sect had been attacked by a joint attack, he rushed back almost immediately. I didn't expect that I was still one step late!

As soon as he stepped into the mountain gate, he quickly recognized An Yun, who had turned into a charred corpse. Although there were mountains of corpses piling up all over the ground, and everyone's faces were stained with blood, he still recognized An Yun at a glance in the corpse group!

And this glance almost broke him.

knew that it would become like this, even if he was hated by An Yun at the beginning, he should have stayed here. Even if he can't do much in the battle of annihilation, at least as long as he lives, it won't be An Yun who dies.

Because An Yun didn't want to see him, and because he couldn't face this spoiled friendship, he fled. He wishfully thought that as long as he left here, An Yun could live a peaceful life, which he owed him. How can you reverse the expectation, this go, see each other again, yin and yang are separated!

Gong Tianying hugged An Yun's corpse alone and cried for a long time, and as soon as he sensed Chu Tianyao's soul breath, he immediately vented all his anger on the other party.

Although he also knew that Chu Tianyao was no wonder about this matter, he had already tried his best, the sect catastrophe, what could he do alone? But he still scolded the other party again and again, only he knew that he was just selfishly looking for an object of anger, just to shirk the guilt of killing his brother with his own hands.

"Brother Celestial...... It's all because I didn't take good care of Senior Brother Anyun. You hit me, I'm damned!" Chu Tianyao was quickly beaten to the point that his mouth and nose were bleeding, but in the face of his most respected senior brother, he still silently endured his venting and did not make any resistance.

Qi Lingsha, who had been staying out of the ...... of Tianyao, finally condensed a little focus in her eyes, "Don't ...... Don't fight the sky...... Don't hit Tianyao......" couldn't hold Gong Tianying, so she pounced directly in front of Chu Tianyao, bearing the continuous blows for him.

"Senior Brother Tianying, calm down, she's just a girl!" Gong Tianying, who was crazy, didn't look at it, and was about to punch Qi Lingsha, but finally couldn't even stand the advisor, and stepped forward to dissuade him. Helian Feng soon got involved.

When this group of people made a mess, Ye Shuo always quietly held the ancient jade in his hand, staring at the corpse of the Great Elder, as if he had fallen into an independent space. A wisp of black qi was lingering around him, it was an incomparable evil qi, and the source of the evil qi was his heart.

Why, it's not what it says in the book.

It is clearly said in the book that what you do to others will do to you.

The book says, don't take the good as small and do nothing, and don't take the evil as small. Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil.

In all folk tales, good people get happiness and bad people get punished.

Why is it that all this is different in reality?

All along, he carefully followed the golden rules in the books of the sages and did good deeds. He forgave every enemy and expected them to change their ways. What did he do wrong?

However, the real world is not the peach blossom paradise depicted in the book. Not all people in the world are saints.

Master, Master, Great Elder, and other senior brothers, they are all good people. Although everyone occasionally gets lazy in cultivation, although they quarrel because of some minor frictions, and although the elders are sometimes very strict, they are all good people. They love the world, and they don't have any bad intentions toward other people.

But it turned out that they were all dead. There are no bones left, and the corpses are exposed in the wilderness.

On the contrary, people like Void Pole, people like Luo Di Xing, they can mix well in this cruel world, they can become the victors of this war, they can gain fame and fortune, and they can taste the fruits of their victory in the sea of corpses and blood. They have created countless debts of iniquity, but they will not receive any retribution.

What the hell is wrong with this world.

Once upon a time, I always hoped that everyone could be happy. I hope that there will be no more strife in the world and that all people can smile in the sun.

But in the end, he couldn't even defend his own division.

Hahaha...... It's ridiculous that he really has the strength of the Qi Gathering level and the heart of the ruler...... All this is so ridiculous! If his enemies knew about it, he would probably laugh off his big teeth, right?

Ye Shuo smiled bitterly tremblingly, and two lines of tears gradually appeared in his eyes. But even the tears turned out to be black.

The law of the jungle is the strongest, and strength is respected, and now I have realized it.

Without strength, no matter how kind you are, you are still a mud trampled on by others.

With strength, no matter how evil you are, you can still have a large number of followers. People will only fear your power. If your strength is strong enough to surpass heaven and earth, who else is qualified to repay you?

Become stronger, unscrupulous, and strong at all costs.

Only by becoming stronger can I avenge the destruction of the gate and protect everything I want to protect.

I'm not going to give up all my opportunities to anyone else anymore. From now on, as long as it belongs to me, I will definitely grasp it! I will definitely grab everything that does not belong to me!

Ye Shuo, who was once so kind and stupid, has already died in this war.

In the future, I will always put strength first.

Bottom line, it doesn't apply to weaklings like me. To be honest, I will only be crushed to death by the fingers of those strong people, and I will not even have a chance to defend myself.

These people who are still by my side are my only bottom line. I will not trust anyone but them easily, and I will not help anyone easily.

Make me stronger.

Open my soul and banish to the darkness.

Ye Shuo slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, a monstrous black aura completely enveloped him, and Ye Shuo's soul aura also grew rapidly in this huge array of evil qi.

It took almost only an instant to break through from the fifth stage of Qi Gathering to the Qi Condensing level.

The first stage of condensation and the second stage of condensation, these levels that ordinary people need to cultivate for several years to break through, have now been crossed by Ye Shuo in a few blinks of an eye.

Five-stage ...... Condensation of the sixth stage...... The evil spirit is still growing.

Even Gong Tianying, Chu Tianyao and the others stopped for a while, looking at him in disbelief, exchanging a jealous gaze from time to time.

Seven stages of condensation...... Eight stages of condensation......

Energetic!

When Ye Shuo's spiritual power finally broke through the strength level, the black qi surrounding him slowly faded.

Strength level, this strength has even equaled the Great Elder. If he knew that he had worked hard for decades and was surpassed by a disciple in the blink of an eye, if he knew underground, I am afraid that he would be so angry that he would come back to life.

It's just that in Ye Shuo's soul, there is already something different.

It's darker, it's more evil, and it exudes a ferocious aura that picks people and devours them.

is different from Ye Shuo's gentleness, perhaps it is more similar to the mysterious second consciousness at the beginning.
