Chapter 19: Grief
"I didn't expect that in the continent after 10,000 years, there will still be your existence, and it is really ghostly. A pale figure slowly appeared next to the blue-bladed blue-edged sword named Qing Ke, with white hair and white beard and white clothes, just like that, appearing next to the sword, actually looking at Lin Chen with a look of fear in the distance.
Lin Chen looked at this person with great horror, as the hall master of the three halls of the Soul Heaven Temple, he naturally had the qualifications to contact such ancient historical sites, and he knew very well who was appearing in front of him now.
The Sect Master of the Ancient Heavenly Sect, Sword Emperor Su Yun.
Ten thousand years ago, it was with the sacrifice of the heaven and earth artifact Qingke Sword, and this demon god was hard to regret, and that battle was earth-shattering. He also paid with his life in exchange for the fall of both the demon gods and the end of this mighty war. He saved all the living beings on the mainland, and he is already a figure in history. His light shone on all the cultivators in the continent. Although today's cultivators no longer know the figure of this supergiant, they also know that 10,000 years ago, an old man completed the salvation of this world.
However, Su Yun was not a figure admired by the Soul Heaven Temple.
Ten thousand years ago, the Demon God of the Otherworld was the third hall master of the Soul Heaven Temple, Jiu Chen, the chief disciple of the Void Ancestor, who exhausted the souls of all living beings in the Soul Heaven Temple, and summoned him with the secret method inherited from the Soul Heaven Temple, in order to be able to become the master of all things himself. Just when he was about to reach the peak of the king, Su Yun shattered his illusion with a sword, but the demon god he summoned was ruthlessly sealed under the Tianzong sect, and the method of suppression lasted for ten thousand years, constantly purifying, weakening the demon god, so that even after ten thousand years, he did not have the majesty of the past. Since then, the Heavenly Sect has been burned, and the Soul Heavenly Temple is also different from the past, and it has been passed down to this generation, and it has been dilapidated a lot, and it is no longer proud of the glory of the world's sects.
The demon god is still alive in the world, and he is no longer the demon god he was back then. Su Yun has always been considered by them to have fallen in that great battle between heaven and earth, and the Soul Heaven Temple stopped cultivating and restarted the fantasy of dominating the continent, but just when it was about to start, the terminator of ten thousand years ago is now returning again. appeared in front of his eyes, carrying the heaven and earth artifact, Qing Ke.
Lin Chen couldn't stop the fear in his heart anymore, he didn't have the kind of contempt he had just now, he was like a child who made a mistake and was afraid of being scolded by adults, the completely irrepressible horror made him have an urge to turn around and want to run away, but he also knew that in front of this kind of god, even if he had the power to reach the sky, it was just the result of the class getting an axe and killing himself.
Just when he was about to beg for mercy in fear, Su Yun just said lightly: "You go, go back and tell you the Void Ancestor, put away your humble dreams, do you want to repeat the scene from 10,000 years ago now!"
When Lin Chen saw this, he knew that Su Yun was sparing his life. He hurriedly tore open the space behind him, stomped on his feet, and disappeared into the heavens and the earth, for fear that Su Yun would regret it and harvest his life.
In fact, he also knows that Su Yun today is not the same person he was back then, and his current strength may be weaker than himself, after all, his ** has also been destroyed, and there is only one soul left, how much can he create. But in front of him, he doesn't even have the courage to face him, so how can he compete with him, maybe this is the coercion of the strong, a kind of tiger that will never be bullied by someone like him who is not even a dog. Perhaps it only takes a warrior who is not afraid of death to kill a king, but how can a warrior overcome the coercion of a king. He is just a chess piece that is slightly stronger than Lang Tian, how can the chess piece kill the king, it is not something he can be qualified to contact, all he can do is bring this news back, bring it to the Void Ancestor, and end the entanglement of ten thousand years.
When the torn space closed again, Su Yun, who was in a state of soul, also trembled slightly, as Lin Chen expected, his current strength was not as good as before, and he could only sleep in the Qingke Sword, turn into a sword spirit, obtain the heaven and earth aura absorbed by the sword, and slowly nourish his spirit. The loss of ** was also very damaging to himself, but fortunately a trace of his soul was attached to the sword, falling in the mortal world, experiencing ten thousand years of wind and rain, until he suddenly sensed a familiar soul power jumped into his consciousness just now, which woke him up who had been sleeping for many years.
He turned to look at Chu Li and the others who were sitting on the ground, and said calmly, "Get ready to meet the turbulent continent again." Then he entered the sword again.
Only they were deeply shocked and looked at each other, within a day, they actually experienced the wandering of life and death, witnessed the fall of the strong man of the Transformation God Realm in front of them, and witnessed a strong man who was higher than the Transformation God that they had never imagined, but they were just frightened by a soul and panicked, and they turned their heads and left in fear. They did not expect the current situation at all, it was just an ordinary patriotic battle, which actually opened the curtain of turmoil on the mainland.
"Follow me back to China, meet the Holy One, and report these circumstances to the Emperor, whether they are right or evil, we will do our duty to protect the people of Great Qin. Chu Li, who was sitting on the ground, also waved his hand and ordered everyone to help him return to China immediately. Everyone also clasped their fists to receive orders, and several commanders also walked to the camp and gave this order to the stunned soldiers.
"Let's go. A large army slowly walked out of the small city. They came with the fate of the country on their shoulders, and they went with the future of the entire continent on their backs
Chu Ci opened his eyes that had been closed for a long time, and broke away from his cultivation state, he was also cultivating the mysterious, ninefold celestial body method with all his strength in the past few days. Since the battle with Chu Ting that day, he has become more and more aware of the power of this soul technique, because he has fulfilled the promise Chu Ting made to him before, he has also received Chu Ting's reward, and the king of the world, which has made countless Tongtian realm powerhouses also envious, has also been passed on to Chu Ci. Chu Ci can also conjure up that golden figure now, but it is only vague, but it can be regarded as a small achievement, and the rest can only rely on him to practice diligently.
He stretched his waist, and the sound of crackling bones was also heard, and an extremely comfortable feeling arose, as if remodeling, which made him different from the past, he also successfully stepped into the Nine Stars of the Imperial Soul Realm, and he had already stepped into the Creation Realm in half a step, but this kind of achievement appeared in a fifteen-year-old boy, but he was the envy of others, such a talent, it is conceivable that he must be the one who will surpass his father in the future.
He pushed open the door of the courtyard, but it was deserted, as if there was something abnormal, but he couldn't tell the reason for the feeling. "Sister Yin?", this is the one of his two maids who is slightly older than him. Chu Ci called a few times, but no one responded. He walked out and came to the open space outside the house. Turning his head to stare at the Chu Mansion, he still didn't find anything wrong, but the sense of confusion in his heart lingered in his heart for a long time and could not be dispelled.
Suddenly, the confusion in his heart suddenly turned into a thick uneasiness, he stared at the beam of the gate of the Chu Mansion, faintly, he saw two round things, some red liquid had solidified on the sides of the two things, that was the heads of Sister Yin and Sister Yue!
The roof beams of the Chu Mansion were dyed with vermilion red paint, and the congealed blood covered the red paint, which was difficult to distinguish if you didn't look closely. The protruding part of the cornices on the roof beams was all on top of a human head! In the outermost position were the two maids who had been taking care of him!
This is the palace of the King of Tiance! It is not far from the imperial city, and who can evade the patrolling guards and come to the Chu Mansion to carry out such a killing, and at the same time, Chu Ci, who completely let him practice on the stone table in the courtyard all night, is completely unknown, not to mention, there is still Chu Ting in the Wheel Realm at home!
Yes, what about Chu Ting, why didn't he come early in the morning to urge himself, did he leave Chu Mansion, no, this is impossible, Chu Ting will never be such a person, and his father is definitely not wrong. He must have been injured somewhere, look for him, you must find him!
Chu Ci couldn't care about destroying the door and was sad, he trembled and immediately covered the entire Chu Mansion with his soul power induction, and he suddenly sensed that there was a languishing aura in the forest of flowers and birds next to the stone table where he was cultivating. He staggered in that direction, and saw that the ground of the forest of flowers and birds was already covered with blood, and that there was a man lying in the dense forest. He couldn't stop his shaking body, and suddenly fell, the suppressed tears soaked his eyes, and the tear stains, mixed with the blood touched by the fall, were on his face, which was very conspicuous.
That's taking care of him, teaching him, loving others like a father, and he's no longer just the one who said coldly to him back then, I'm the one your father sent to take care of you.
He has now become a part of Chu Ci's life, and his father has two for him, one is Chu Li, the biological father, and the other is Chu Ting, who is cold and strict on the surface, but secretly takes care of him. He was now lying in a pool of blood in the bamboo forest, in the forest only twenty meters away from him. However, because of his carelessness at night, he was left alone that night in front of the sudden attack of the killer. Maybe if he had guarded the Chu Mansion with him that night, the situation might have been a little different.
Because he thinks that under the protection of the King of Tiance, it is safe. Because he thinks that with a strong backing, he can sleep peacefully at home, leaving the lonely people who guard him outside the door. Because he thinks he's always holding the blade, making those who want to hurt him flinch in fear. However, he only sees the world through the eyes of a fifteen-year-old child, believing that the blade he holds is enough to protect them, protect the people who matter most to him, but the reality cruelly tells him that you are only holding a wooden sword, and what you think is protection is just that they put on invulnerable armor and make you hide behind them. What you think of as protection is just ridiculous fairy tales.
Chu Ci crawled in the direction of the figure, lying on the bloodstains, he was no longer able to make his legs stand straight, he could only crawl towards the figure in this most ugly posture. The blood on the ground became more and more red because of his touch, just as the blood dripping from his heart reached his body and stained the ground red again. The floor next to the stone table was also paved with vermilion masonry, and it became more and more red under the blood.
He picked up the man lying on the ground, but the moment he picked it up, his head rolled down from his hand. His eyes looked directly at the stone table, and he said something to Chu Ci with an unwilling expression. He didn't have the vigor of the king at that time, only this cold corpse remained, but leaving, but he didn't let him take his whole self with him. In this way, he quietly left Chu Ci and left the position that should have been honored.
He cried, but it was useless, he regretted why he didn't sit with him that night, why he didn't stick to the same soil with him, just because he sat on the stone table and was sheltered by Chu Li and escaped, just because they stood lower than him, they should die for him, leaving him alone to survive. He saw that there were five big words left with blood next to Chu Ting: "The Mandate of Heaven cannot be violated."
He raised his head and cried loudly, the cry was wrapped in the pungent smell of blood, filling the entire mansion, the Tiance Palace, but it had a mandate of heaven, and he died by order!
A figure quietly fell behind Chu Ci, he lowered his head and looked coldly at Chu Ci, who was almost crazy, and before Chu Ci could react, he stabbed a needle from his arms and pierced it into the back of Chu Ci's neck. Chu Ci mobilized the soul power of his whole body to support his increasingly heavy eyelids, and he looked at Chu Ting burning in the depths of the sea of fire, which also burned his most precious life. He shouted hysterically, no!
"You are Chu Ci! Sure enough, you look like a general, don't embarrass the general in front of me in the future!"
"Hurry up, how can you surpass your father in the future, even I am crushed by your strength, how can you defeat him, hurry up, use your full strength, otherwise you won't even recognize your father when you are beaten, then don't blame me"
"In the future, you have to work hard to cultivate, hold the sword in your hand, and kill all those who want to hurt you! Otherwise, how can you let those important people sleep in peace?"
Hold your sword and kill all those who want to hurt you!
Chu Ci opened his eyes suddenly, but there was darkness around him, only light was not far from him, he tried to support himself with his hands to stand up, but found that his hands were dripping with blood, and two huge blood holes were in his wrists. He tried to move his hands, but found that they didn't feel at all as if they didn't belong to him, and no matter how hard he tried, they still stood on his sides, and they didn't move. His hand has been wasted. He hurriedly began to urge the soul power in his body, but he felt that his body was just empty, except that the blood was still flowing, there was no soul power running in his body, and even the vast sea of qi was now gone, not to mention his flowing thunder power. His cultivation and soul power were all abolished!
This, this can't be, it's not true. Chu Ci shook his head in a panic, he couldn't convince himself that his current self was a waste. The door of the house was tragically destroyed, and the cultivation was broken, but this terrible thing happened to him really.
What about the father! Where is the father! Why did he let these things happen! Could it be that he, who has cultivated in the Divine Realm, is just looking at himself weakly!
While he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard someone shouting at him in the light in front of him, and he looked up with difficulty, and he saw a man with a cloak and a chain wrapped all over his body, but he was wearing a black military uniform, kneeling in the center of the light.
The person who was bound was his father, who he thought about day and night, Chu Li was locked here!
