Chapter 115: Judgment of life and death between words
After the Mind Demon Venerable achieved his goal, he successfully lifted the seal of the Defeated Sword Demon Venerable and took him away from the Sword Sect.
The Sword Sect cultivators who had been affected by the Mind Demon Venerable had either died suddenly and violently, and their deaths were unknown.
Either they are delirious and fall into a situation of half-madness.
And among all of them, the one who was most deeply affected by the Mind Guardian Demon Venerable was Lu Li.
Under the joint deduction and investigation of the Sword Masters of the Sword Sect, Lu Li, the original parasitic object, was naturally found.
On that day, the three Sword Saints of Wind, Fire Cloud, and Condensation Frost came across the border together and descended to the Nether.
The three sword saints did not hide their existence at all, and the three sword aura, which were fierce, fiery, or cold, rose up to the sky, announcing their arrival to all the forces in the lower realm.
In a secret camp in Tian Yuan City.
The City Lord of Tian Yuan City paused with the palms of the two pairs of eyeballs, and he looked up at the distant canopy, his eyes full of astonishment and solemnity.
A cloud of smoke rose from beside the city lord, condensing into an old man with a goatee with gray hair.
The old man was wearing a dark green robe, with thin cheeks and pointed mouth and squinting eyes, which intuitively gave people a sense of treachery.
The old man with the goatee felt the three completely different, but equally terrifying momentum, and said with a slightly condensed expression: "City Lord, this is the ...... of the Sword Sect."
The city lord of Tianyuan City, who was wearing a nine-python costume and a crown of hanging beads, also said solemnly: "With the addition of lightning, the Sword Sect dispatched four Sword Saints at one time. This has completely disrupted the balance of the Nether, and the Yin Hai Lin family and other forces will not sit idly by. ”
The old man with the goatee hesitated for a moment and said, "City Lord, are we going to return to Tianyuan City?"
The city lord of Tianyuan City glanced at the old minister who had followed him for many years, and said, "Tianji has not been rescued yet, she is my only remaining child." ”
"With the city lord here, Tianyuan City is here. Tian Yuan City is here, and everything has a follow-up. The old man with the goatee said in a deep voice.
The deep gaze of the city lord of Tianyuan City changed, and he only heard a "poof", but it was the two eyeballs that he was playing with in his hand that were directly pinched and exploded by the city lord of Tianyuan City.
......
Inside the Sword Sect Station.
The four sword saints of Ning Shuang, Chengfeng, Huoyun, and Qingdian came at the same time, which made Long Sanguan, the person in charge of the post station, a little unable to react for a while.
Fortunately, the Sword Sect monks have always been accustomed to simplicity, and the four Sword Saints don't care about so many courtesies, as long as they have an empty room, they can discuss things secretly.
Long Sanguan, Dugu Haotian, and Gu Lian Chafeng, the inner sect cultivators, were unable to obtain a seat in the room, so they had to stand behind the Qingdian Sword Saint to observe.
Suddenly, Gu Lian Chai Feng let out a muffled snort, and dark red blood dripped out of her eyes, which were covered by the black cloth.
Gu Lian Chafeng covered her eyes and sat on the ground, her forehead twitching in pain, but after the initial muffled snort, she didn't let out a cry of pain.
Seeing this, the Lightning Sword Saint sighed, "Alas, what the Sword Sect owes, it will definitely be compensated to you." ”
He knew that this was caused by Gu Lian Chafeng's pair of eyes related to his own sword path that had been destroyed by the Tian Yuan City City Lord.
But at this time, after hearing about the attack on the Sword Sect from the mouths of the Sword Saints such as Huoyun, Chengfeng, and Ningshuang, the focus of attention was no longer on the Tianyuan City Lord.
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Seeing that Gu Lian Zhufeng did not answer, Dugu Haotian told the others about the several encounters between himself and the others and Tian Yuan City.
After a general understanding of the situation, the Fire Cloud Sword Saint said, "You mean the eldest daughter of the City Lord of Tianyuan City. That [Phantom Snake] Li Tianji is in your hands?"
Dugu Haotian nodded in affirmation.
The Huoyun Sword Saint glanced at the Wind Riding Sword Saint with long hair tied up in the sky and a rather unruly face, and saw that the other party didn't say anything, so he said, "Let her go and return her to Tianyuan City." ”
"What?"
Long Sanguan and Dugu Haotian were both surprised, they knew best the price they had to pay in order to capture [Phantom Snake] Li Tianji.
The Red Eyes of the Fire Cloud Sword Saint swept over the two Inner Sect Cultivators, and the powerful oppressive force suddenly silenced them, and they didn't dare to speak casually anymore.
The Qingdian Sword Saint frowned slightly, and said, "Tianyuan City's intention to start a war is very obvious, and now sending Li Tianji back, I'm afraid it won't help." ”
The Wind Riding Sword Saint patted the wine gourd on his waist and said, "On this inverted levitating island under the jurisdiction of you and Ning Shuang, nearly a hundred outer sect monks are almost dead, and the culprit has also fled. For the Sword Sect, which is now on the cusp of the storm, it is not suitable to start a war with any force at this time, which will easily cause public anger and be besieged by the Cosmos Clans. ”
Even so, the Lightning Sword Saint, who had a straightforward temperament and had always had clear grievances, was still a little afraid in his heart, and he looked at the Frost Sword Saint, hoping to get some verbal assistance from this young man who lived on the same island with him.
But the Frost Sword Master just lowered his eyes, as if he was on a fugue.
Seeing this, the Fire Cloud Sword Saint sneered and said, "Heh, due to his unfavorable handling of things, Ning Shuang is no longer qualified to govern the Inverted Levitation Island. I'm in charge of your floating island now, and I'll have to wait until you return to the Sword Sect to make another announcement. ”
The Lightning Sword Saint opened his mouth when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, he looked at the Frost Sword Saint again, and there was a look of sympathy in his eyes.
"When will Lu Li wake up?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold for a while, the Wind Riding Sword Saint said, "When will that Lu Li wake up?"
Qingdian Sword Saint said: "Before dusk today, he should wake up, but there is no guarantee that he can still communicate normally." ”
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint crossed his arms around his chest, leaned back in his chair, and said coldly: "Since Tianyuan City's hostility towards our Sword Sect is all due to this separation, then after we have asked him about the matter, we will hand him over to Tianyuan City along with [Phantom Snake] Li Tianji." I think that after our Sword Sect made such a big concession, it would be difficult for Tian Yuan City to insist on starting a war with us again. ”
In this regard, the other three sword masters did not make a statement.
The Wind Riding Sword Saint looked out the window and said, "It's not far from dusk, go and see the Lu Li who brought the Mind Dementor Venerable into the Sword Sect." ”
Several sword saints immediately got up, and under the leadership of Long Sanguan, the person in charge of the post station, they came to the door of a room covered with runes.
The Wind Riding Sword Saint praised: "Dragon Sanguan, I haven't seen you for decades, but your runes have made great progress." ”
Long Sanguan thanked him respectfully, and then lifted the rune ban on the door of the room.
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint was a little impatient, and directly shot out a ball of fire with his fingers, and threw it at the door with dense runes.
Crash.
In front of this small ball of flames, those runes burst into flames without resistance, and the flames instantly burned all over the entire door, and there was a castration that extended to the beams and floors.
Call.
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint blew lightly, and the blazing flames were immediately extinguished like soldiers who had received an amnesty.
At this time, there was no trace of any runes on the door, and there was no sign of the door itself being blackened by the flames.
"You're too slow. The Fire Cloud Sword Saint pushed open the door disdainfully and walked in first.
In the room, there is no furniture except a bed.
At this time, Lu Li, who should be lying on the bed, woke up at some point, and was standing in front of the window, looking at the endless red sand outside through the gap in the window that was also blocked by runes.
"You're Lu Li?"
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint was the first to walk into the room, and the first to ask.
Facing the questioning of a sword saint, Lu Li's body did not move at all, still facing away from the door, looking at the unchanged scenery outside the window.
"Hmph. ”
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint snorted coldly, his patience had always been bad, and he didn't intend to spend more words on such an ant.
I saw that this sword saint with a naked body and long hair as red as fire stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and he took Lu Li over in the air.
Grabbing Lu Li's neck with his right hand, the Fire Cloud Sword Saint asked, "You introduced the Mind Dementor Demon Venerable to the Sword Sect?"
Lu Li was choked by the neck, his expression immediately distorted, and he instinctively wanted to break away from the palm of the Fire Cloud Sword Saint.
"Humph!"
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint snorted coldly again, and this time, the strong oppressive force belonging to the Sword Saint descended on the room, causing the rest of the inner door cultivators except for the other three Sword Saints to involuntarily exit the door.
And Lu Li, who was facing this coercion, immediately softened, and the sword yuan in the dantian qi sea shrank like a flock of lions, not daring to show anything.
"If you don't say it, I'll take you by default. The Fire Cloud Sword Saint said coldly, "Who else is your accomplice in the Sword Sect?"
Lu Li's eyes were blank, only the muscles on his face were more distorted because of the choking of his neck and the influence of coercion.
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint frowned slightly, turned his head to several Sword Saints and said, "A fool?"
At this moment, Lu Li raised his arm again, wanting to break the palm of the Fire Cloud Sword Saint.
With Lu Li's movements, wisps of pitch-black mist overflowed from between the five fingers of his hands.
These demonic qi full of destructive aura and the protective sword qi of the Fire Cloud Sword Saint canceled each other, allowing Lu Li to truly grasp the palm of the Fire Cloud Sword Saint.
The next moment, Lu Li, whose eyes were still blank, instinctively grabbed the two most vulnerable fingers of the Fire Cloud Sword Saint, and was about to use his strength to break them.
"Oh? ”
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint didn't have the slightest shock, he just added three more points of strength, and shook his arms, and Lu Li's body was sore, and his bones seemed to be about to fall apart.
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint stretched out his other arm and grabbed a wisp of pitch-black demonic energy, causing it to overflow and rush in his palm, but it couldn't cause the slightest damage.
"See, demonic energy. The Huoyun Sword Saint snuffed out the demonic qi in the palm of his hand with a "snap", and said to the three Sword Saints behind him: "This guy's betrayal of the Sword Sect has become a fact, whether he is really crazy or fake stupid, he will do it according to the rules." ”
Compared to several other Sword Masters, Qingdian Sword Masters were more familiar with Lu Li.
He still remembered that on the night of the temporary camp in Xingyue Lake, after Lu Li briefly regained consciousness, the first thing he said was to make a reminder.
Coupled with the relationship between his newly recruited disciple Ye Shengqing, the Qingdian Sword Saint was actually willing to believe in Lu Li and believe that he had not really betrayed the Sword Sect.
But no matter what Lu Li's subjective wishes are.
The established fact of introducing the Mind Regent Demon Venerable into the Sword Sect and causing the Sword Sect to suffer heavy losses must be borne by Lu Li.
"Abolish the Sword Yuan, destroy the Sword Dao, and then send it to Tian Yuan City, and let the city lord decide his life and death. ”
As he spoke, the Fire Cloud Sword Saint relied on his own strength to place five groups of illusory flames that ignited when he encountered the sword qi into Lu Li's abdomen.
"Uh......"
The clothes on Lu Li's abdomen immediately shattered, revealing skin as fiery red as a soldering iron.
The fiery red color split into five under Lu Li's skin, and traveled towards different parts.
In this process, Lu Li's body trembled obviously, and Mu Ran's eyes also had a little more painful look.
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint let go of his five fingers, causing Lu Li to fall to the ground with a "bang".
The Sword Saint didn't pay attention to Lu Li, who was trembling and squirming like a worm on the ground, and turned to look at the Frost Sword Saint who had not even said a word until he came to the Nether.
Huoyun Sword Saint said: "The sword qi in this son's body has been burned out. As the foundation of his sword cultivation and the trace of the origin sword yuan in the dantian qi sea, it is up to you to completely destroy it. ”
The Frost Condensation Sword Master didn't speak, but just took a step forward, and a thin edge of ice crystals condensed from his fingertips.
With a "whoosh", the Frost Condensing Sword Saint poked out the thin edges of the ice crystals on his fingertips and shot towards the location of Lu Li's dantian.
Poof.
The skin and flesh of Lu Li's abdomen were suddenly drilled into a hole.
That ice crystal edge shot into Lu Li's dantian qi sea with precision, and the target was that trace of the Origin Sword Yuan.
The skin on Lu Li's abdomen suddenly turned from crimson to iron blue, and wisps of cold qi emanated from the holes in his abdomen.
"Giggle ......"
Lu Li's teeth collided, and he couldn't help but hold himself tightly, as if he was stuck in ice and snow.
After the Frost Sword Saint ejected the ice crystal ridge, he didn't look at Lu Li anymore.
The Huoyun Sword Saint checked Lu Li's state again, and when he was sure that this betrayer was no longer qualified to become a sword cultivator, he said to the Chengfeng Sword Saint: "Chengfeng, you have passed on our promise of reconciliation to the city lord of Tianyuan City, and the subsequent handover work will also be handed over to you." ”
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint naturally gave orders, and he was already in charge of the two inverted levitation islands, and he did have this qualification.
At this time, on Lu Li's body, blood-colored runes emerged from under his skin, and gradually faded and disintegrated because there was no continuous supply of sword yuan.
Seeing this scene, the Wind Riding Sword Saint couldn't help but speak: "The exercises of the Sumeru lineage?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ripple of water ripples suddenly shook in the air around him, and a rugged pitch-black stone sword emerged from the void.
"Oh? [Acquired Sword Embryo]? It seems that this is the reward given by the Twelve Heavenly Demons to this son. ”
The Fire Cloud Sword Saint said, reaching out and holding it in the air, but the stone giant sword with a pitch-black body only shook slightly, and did not fly directly into his hand.
"The order is good, but unfortunately I have already recognized the master, so I can only throw it back to the sword shrine and take it out after a hundred years. The Fire Cloud Sword Saint said with regret.
The stone sword [Zhen Yu] trembled slightly, and moved its heavy sword body on its own, leaning towards Lu Li, who was curled up in a ball and trembling.
