Chapter 755: Withered Wood—Ghost Servant Secrets
Five years!
Nini went out to look for him alone, there was no news for five years, and her life and death were uncertain, although the people in the village said that she was already very strong, but Luo Xingchen was still not at ease. is how strong she can be during the time she left, can she beat those immortal monarchs?
Thinking like this, he felt more and more uneasy in his heart, and there was a little anxiety between his eyebrows.
"Why didn't you stop her?" Luo Xingchen said to Nangong Fu on the side.
"That girl, it's getting stranger and weirder over the years, I don't listen to anyone, I just want you to come back, what's the use of us stopping it, and...... Who can stop it?" Nangong Fu said with his head down, his tone full of sadness.
Luo Xingchen shook his head helplessly, knowing that this really couldn't be blamed on them, Na Nizi was taught by herself, how could these ordinary villagers who had not cultivated systematically stop her.
"Then do you know where she went? The fairy world is so big, she can't run around without knowing anything, right?" Luo Xingchen asked after thinking for a while.
"This is a bit of an impression, I remember that day she came back from the outside and her face became ugly, there was still blood on her hands, and she kept saying something 'take Tianfeng' in her mouth, and then left the next day, if it was right, it should be there. Nangong Fu said.
"Pick up Tianfeng!"
Luo Xingchen was taken aback, glanced at Dugu An Yao, and hurriedly suppressed the surprise in his heart.
According to the time, five years ago, she should still be in the secret realm that connected Tianfeng, and five years have also passed since the battle between herself and the Immortal Monarch, if she guessed correctly, she should have heard her news outside, so she hurriedly went.
It's just that this makes Luo Xingchen even more worried. She is a girl, her cultivation is not high, and she can be said to know nothing about the fairy world, so it is not only impossible for her to find Jietian Peak when she goes out rashly, but she may be targeted by someone with a heart, and she will be refined into a demon puppet or a ding furnace or something, no matter which one it is, it is unimaginable. Especially since she still has the blood of the Protoss in her body, if she is seen by the ghost cultivators, she will be captured even if she pays a big price.
"No, I'm going to find her!"
Thinking of this, Luo Xingchen fidgeted and said to Dugu An Yao.
Dugu Anyao's eyes darkened, and then he hurriedly raised his head.
"Xingchen, calm down, it's been so long now, and it's undoubtedly a needle in a haystack for you to go out to find her now. Besides, we haven't seen her when we just came back from Jietianfeng, it is very likely that she is not there at all, you are not only likely to return in vain and may be targeted by Jubaolou's eyeliner, you think about it, you should be dead and appear in the fairy world again, it will make Jubaolou more embarrassed, and at that time they will definitely do whatever it takes to eradicate you...... The gains outweigh the losses!" Seeing that Luo Xingchen insisted on this, Dugu An Yao could only persuade him.
Of course, Luo Xingchen understood these things, but he really couldn't put his mind at ease, he couldn't imagine what the little girl would become in that world full of darkness and filth. Therefore, he will do whatever it takes to find her.
He slowly turned around, looked at Dugu Anyao and said, "I'm sorry, this time...... Gotta leave you here. ”
Dugu Anyao was stunned for a moment, and finally had to slowly let go of her hand.
"What, are you leaving?"
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Luo Xingchen's ears.
"Who?" he jerked back, but didn't see anyone, and then asked tentatively, "Old man of the withered wood?"
"Xingchen, what's wrong with you?" On the side, seeing Luo Xingchen suddenly talking to himself, Dugu Anyao hurriedly asked.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. I'm not leaving, but I'm going to a place first, you and grandpa have a look around first, I'll come to you later!" Luo Xingchen's face suddenly became relaxed, and he gently patted Dugu Anyao's shoulder and disappeared into the air without waiting for her to speak.
"This ......" Dugu Anyao was stunned for a moment, and was a little confused, but she quickly laughed, looked at Nangong Fu and said, "Grandpa, take me around......"
On the other side, Luo Xingchen quickly came to the dilapidated wooden house where the dead wood was, and when he saw the rickety body, he immediately smiled.
"You're really back!" he said.
"When the business is done, I naturally have to come back. As always, the withered wood did not lift his eyelids, and said as he looked carefully at the wood in his hand.
"Well, the matter over there of the Peacock Clan has been resolved, and what is the result?" Luo Xingchen didn't care, and sat down across from him and asked.
"Won't you inquire about your little apprentice first?"
"Hehe, what's this? I was in a hurry just now, but since you're back, then I'm not worried at all. Luo Xingchen said with a smile.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I still don't have much affection for this village, and I still won't do what I can't do. Witherwood shook his head.
"Are you sure you're not joking with me?" Luo Xingchen asked, his body tensed.
"I swear to God, I didn't help that little girl in any way......" Witherwood shrugged.
"You...... Old bastard, do you still have humanity? She's still so young, don't you have the slightest sympathy?" Luo Xingchen stood up and roared.
"Nope. Witherwood said.
"You ......" In just a few words, Luo Xingchen's mood was worse than before, if he didn't know that the withered wood was back, it would be fine, but he came back and didn't save him, which made him unforgivable, and finally rushed over directly to pick up his clothes.
"Boy, dare to make a move against an immortal emperor who can suppress a clan with one hand, you are still the first among the immortal monarchs, are you ready to die?"
Luo Xingchen gritted his teeth, feeling more and more angry, and then punched him in the face.
Fist style hunting, he showed no mercy.
Predictably, his attack came to an abrupt halt when he was only an eyelash away from Witherwood's face, and at the same time, his body became stiff and unable to move.
Then, the withered wood lightly put down the hand that Luo Xingchen was holding him, and then slapped Luo Xingchen on the chest.
A hot force instantly made Luo Xingchen's scalp tingle, as if the whole person was about to burn, his body was boiling, his blood was almost evaporated, and the immortal qi was consumed in an instant, making him almost peep into the door of death.
However, it didn't take long for the temperature of that force to slowly decrease, becoming warm, and swimming through the meridians, as if to replace the blood in his body.
After a long time, that force slowly dissipated, and Luo Xingchen finally resumed his actions.
"Witherwood, you ......" For a moment, feeling the full power in his body, Luo Xingchen said to Witherwood in disbelief.
He knew that this was the sequelae of the withered wood repairing the sequelae of his forcible breakthrough at the beginning, using the immortal emperor's mana to stabilize the meridians for him, remove the old blood, and purify the immortal qi, so that his strength was more staring, and his strength was also on a higher level.
"Don't worry, that girl is fine, she is no longer the girl she was back then, whether it is talent, strength or anything else, she is not weaker than you, the cultivation of the fairy king is enough for her to break through in the outside world. Of course, if she didn't have the ability, it would disappoint me. The withered wood seemed to have completely forgotten what Luo Xingchen had done to him before, and said as he carved the wood as before.
Luo Xingchen suddenly lowered his head in shame and said, "Thank you...... Top ......"
"'Senior' is exempt, it's disgusting to hear!" Witherwood quickly waved his hand to interrupt him, and said impatiently.
Luo Xingchen was speechless as if he had eaten a fly, and the touch of emotion that had just risen in his heart disappeared again.
"Also, I'm disgusting myself!" he then relaxed again and sat aside, looking casual.
"Then again, what happened to the Peacock Clan, and what was the final result of the Great Wilderness Snake Clan?" then Luo Xingchen asked again.
"Didn't that kid tell you about this question?" asked Witherwood back.
"Kong Ling, how is that possible, shouldn't he be in Nan...... Wait, what do you mean?" Luo Xingchen suddenly said.
"That's right, that's what you think, he's coming for you!" Witherwood nodded, confirming Luo Xingchen's guess.
"Idiot, that idiot, doesn't he know his identity, dare to come here to find me so blatantly, he deserves to be caught and dismembered by Jubaolou!" Luo Xingchen said angrily.
"Hypocrisy!" However, just two words of the withered wood made his angry expression come to naught.
"Hehe, isn't that what it should have been done! That kid came back to me to tell me the truth, it really surprised me, Kong Yuan was so relieved of him?" Luo Xingchen said with a smile.
"Of course not, so I handed over their clan weapons to him, as long as I don't come to the Immortal Emperor, seventeen or eighteen Immortal Monarchs should still be able to die!" Witherwood shrugged helplessly.
Luo Xingchen was even more speechless: "What does Kong Yuan want to do, give the clan weapon to such an irascible boy, do you want to cause a war between the Eastern and Southern Immortal Realms?"
"Then ask him yourself. By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing when you come back this time?" asked Witherwood.
"Well, as you can see, my body is like this now, of course, I have to retreat and consolidate, when I broke through the Immortal Monarch, I didn't seriously experience those feelings, and now I have forgotten a lot, if I can catch a little, it is also good!" Luo Xingchen said.
"Oh, it's a refuge!" the witherwood directly exposed him.
"Well, then you can stay...... Speaking of cultivation, I seem to have a little impression of your ghost servant!" Witherwood waved his hand casually, and then suddenly became solemn.
"Ardilia? she...... Is there any problem?" Luo Xingchen frowned and asked.
"Yes, there is a problem, and it is a big problem. Probably it will kill you!" said the withered wood, who was rare and looked at him from a precarious position.
Luo Xingchen suddenly mentioned God!
"The reason why I came back so late this time is because I temporarily went to the Western Immortal Realm, the place where the demon clan and the ghost clan have the most, and I found out a lot about the ghost pact summoning...... The so-called ghost deed, to put it bluntly, is also a type of cultivation exercise. It is a forcible contract to make a master-servant connection with a ghost who is dead and has a weak soul, and then forcibly order it to do things for you through the contract. For countless years, this practice has had its pros and cons, but it has still been passed down, which is enough to see its reliability. But just as we practice Qi and go crazy, no exercise is perfect, and no matter how precise the tools are, there will be mistakes. And your ghost servant might be one of them!"
"What do you mean?" Luo Xingchen felt a trace of unease in his heart.
"It's simple. The so-called master-servant contract is not immutable. As long as the strength is strong enough, everything can change. In the past, someone once summoned a powerful ghost, only to find out later that it was the remnant of the god's death, and over time, the soul regained its memory, and finally forcibly changed the contract, reversing the master-servant relationship. Of course, this is only the best-case scenario, and if that spirit is really that powerful, I don't think it would be too much to kill that person......" Witherwood said slowly.
"Ardilia...... Will you kill me?" Luo Xingchen's eyes widened.
"If her memory comes back to life...... Quite possibly. To preserve the glory of being a god!, for example, would you let people know that you once licked a dog's toes?"
It's very straightforward and vivid. Luo Xingchen subconsciously shuddered.
"This ...... Is it possible to make a mistake, she looks like she's just an immortal king, how can she be a divine soul......" Luo Xingchen smiled and said to himself.
"Really?" Witherwood didn't speak, seeing that Luo Xingchen was just deceiving himself, he simply looked at him with empty eyes.
Luo Xingchen finally nodded humbly, and then said, "Can you...... What about the termination of the contract?"
"Of course you can, but she's already taken note of your breath, and when she recovers, you'll still be dead. Witherwood said.
"Then there is no way?" Luo Xingchen said loudly.
"Yes, of course, there's only ...... way" Witherwood shook his head, then pointed his index finger at the center of his eyebrows and pressed it gently......
"Kill her, completely cut off her soul, and deal with her before she grows up, this is the experience left to you by your predecessors. ”
Luo Xingchen was shocked!
............
He didn't know when he left the withered wooden cabin, and he returned to Nangong Fu's house in a state of despair.
"Xingchen, you ...... back"
"I want to retreat!" Before Dugu Anyao's words were finished, Luo Xingchen interrupted her first, and then subconsciously walked towards the backyard, and finally locked himself in a dark room.
"Kill her, completely cut off her soul, and deal with her before she grows up, this is the experience left to you by your predecessors. ”
The witherwood's words echoed in his ears and heart over and over again, making him almost put into action.
"It should be easy to kill her now!"
Indeed, it's easy. The current Adilia is only an immortal king at best, and her strength is far from Luo Xingchen's opponent, although her resistance to ghost cultivation is terrifying, but he is not a ghost cultivator, if she really fights, it won't be long before she can be killed.
But for some reason, whenever he really made up his mind, in the small world of Jietianfeng, the scene when she pounced on him like a moth to a fire appeared in front of him, which shook his determination just now.
"Whew!"
In the end, he gritted his teeth and entered his own little world.
"Adilia!"
She was still cultivating, kneeling cross-legged on the ground, with her broadsword in front of her, and her eyes instantly widened when she heard Luo Xingchen's voice.
"The host ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, pick up your sword!" Luo Xingchen yelled.
"Yes!" she didn't have any doubts, took the sword directly, and then ...... knelt down on one knee in front of Luo Xingchen.
"Fight me...... With all your might. Luo Xingchen turned around and gritted his teeth.
Aldelia tilted her head, as if she couldn't understand Luo Xingchen's behavior, but she still obediently slashed at Luo Xingchen.
"Bell!"
However, Luo Xingchen knocked the broadsword away with a sword.
"Didn't you hear me say with all my might?" he yelled.
A flash of anger appeared on Aldelia's face, and then she recalled her broadsword and said angrily, "Yes, master!"
Then, another sword, but the momentum was much stronger than before, like a mountain pressing down on Luo Xingchen.
Luo Xingchen gritted his teeth and brandished the Heaven Slaying Demon Blade, with the heavy side facing upward, and slashed out with a sword.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the violent power exploded, and Luo Xingchen used his strength to forcibly annihilate the aftermath of the two, and then attacked her even more fiercely.
The sword qi that was ten thousand feet high was compressed to the size of a person, leaving silver traces across the space.
Aldelia's breathing became rapid a little bit, her short golden hair was flying, her forehead was covered with sweat, her petite body couldn't help trembling, and the heavy sword in her hand was getting slower and slower, almost stopping, and finally she could barely keep up with Luo Xingchen's rhythm, and she was no longer able to attack.
"Bang dang!"
Finally, it didn't take long for Luo Xingchen's stormy attack to finally come out of his hand and stick to the ground in the distance. And she also fell to the ground with a stumbling face, looking at Luo Xingchen with a shocked expression.
"Lord, master......" she said in a hoarse throat, her mouth still panting, and her clothes under her armor were covered with sweat.
"Tell me, Ardilia—do you want to kill me?" Luo Xingchen said, putting away the Sky Slaying Demon Blade and turning his back to her.
"No...... I don't want to!" said Adilia.
"No, you should want to. You should hate me so much, you can't wait to kill him and then kill him as soon as possible to avenge today's revenge!" Luo Xingchen roared loudly.
"But...... I don't hate, and I don't want to ......" Adilia looked at him blankly, her eyes full of puzzlement.
"I make you hate, I make you think!" Luo Xingchen roared.
"Since the master said so, then I'...... Just think about it......" said Adilea.
"Okay, what do you want?"
"I want to ...... Kill ...... You!"
"Who am I?"
"Luo Xingchen!"
"Who do you want to kill?"
"I want to kill Luo Xingchen!"
"Louder!"
"I want to kill Luo Xingchen!"
Adilia almost broke down, shaking her head and yelling.
Luo Xingchen finally turned around and looked down at her.
"Yes, remember that feeling, remember what happened today, kill me with everything you have. Remember, you can't kill me, like today, no matter how many times, you can't kill me. It is impossible for anyone I have defeated to kill me, no one can kill me!"
After Luo Xingchen finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the small world,
Aldelia looked at his back blankly, and suddenly felt a pain in her head, and at that moment, that back was as deep as an imprint in her mind, making her feel frightened, mysterious, and unable to raise any intention of resistance!
"Haha, come on, come on. What about the gods, what about the ghosts, I, Luo Xingchen, will not lose!"
On the other side, Luo Xingchen returned to the dark room, and the moment he opened his eyes, golden light spread throughout the room, and his black pupils were full of determination!
