Chapter 10: The Demons of the Heart
The tumbling black clouds were like ink splattered in the sky, and under the heavy black, only the woman's red dress was the only bright color.
Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and a red demon pattern on her eyebrows showed her demon identity.
For the demons, the terrifying thunder fell on her one by one, splitting her luxurious robe to blacken. But the woman always only faced the thunder, and there was no sign of retreating.
Xie Zhengliu recognized it almost at first sight as her previous life, which was the most important memory left to her in her previous life.
The picture in front of me continues, and the thunder continues to fall. After the last attack, the woman finally survived the thunderstorm, and waited for the light of the upper realm in the rain that spread all over the earth.
At that moment, Xie Zhengliu felt as if she had returned to her previous life, this time she did not fail in the tribulation, but was about to become the first Demon Venerable to ascend in history.
The light of the connection fell on her, and the ladder to the sky fell directly at her feet.
Countless voices in her ears told her that as long as she stepped on this step, she would be able to achieve her wish.
But after a long time, the fairy sound from the upper realm still surrounded her ears, faintly urging. The light above his head slowly dimmed, as if it was about to be extinguished soon, but Xie Zhengliu didn't move a single step.
She looked up at the golden canopy, and finally took a step back.
"Since the Heavenly Dao does not allow the demon race to ascend, then I will return as a righteous path monk in this life. I definitely want to climb the ladder. β
The last word fell, and the picture in front of Xie Zhengliu shattered inch by inch, and she completely woke up from the illusion.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Zhuang Youqian's baby face appeared in her sight: "Hey, Xiao Xie, you woke up faster than Xiaoyue!" β
When Zhuang Youqian said this, Xie Zhengliu turned his head to look at his side, as if he was sinking into a nightmare.
His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his brow was tightly furrowed, as if he was experiencing something terrible. Together with the sword behind his back, it emitted a strange buzz under the influence of its master.
Fortunately, the movement of this sword was very small, and only Xie Zhengliu and Zhuang Youqian noticed that something was wrong.
The two glanced at each other, secretly adjusted their standing posture, and blocked Yue Mingqiu.
"Looks like you're the first of us to wake up?" Xie Zhengliu thought that he had woken up fast enough, but he didn't expect Zhuang Youqian to be so good-natured.
Zhuang Youqian smiled, revealing the shallow pear vortex on his cheeks: "I saw in the illusion that I was surrounded by spirit stones, and I became the richest man in the cultivation realm!" But the people in there actually asked me to spend money! I woke up on the spot, I had never seen such a terrible vision. β
Hearing this, Xie Zhengliu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, I'm afraid Heng Tianzong didn't expect that an illusion would poke at Zhuang Youqian's weaknesses and pain points at the same time.
The two stood in place and waited for a long time, but they didn't see Yue Mingqiu awake, and the illusion against him probably reflected the most terrifying memory in his heart, so that he couldn't break free.
Several times Zhuang Youqian wanted to reach out to touch him, but was stopped by Xie Zhengliu: "No matter what you do now, you can't help him, but you will be thought to be cheating by the people of Hengtian Sect." β
"Then let's just let him immerse himself in the illusion?" Zhuang Youqian was a little unwilling, this is a mutated Lei Linggen, and he is still counting on the other party to be his backer in the future.
Xie Zhengliu: "These assessments of Hengtian Sect are all beneficial to us, if he can't get out by himself, then he won't be able to go to the end of this path of cultivation, and sooner or later something will happen because of the demons in his heart." β
Zhuang Youqian sighed helplessly, so he had to follow Xie Zhengliu and continue to stay where he was.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't leave, because it didn't take long for Feng Tianci to catch up.
Feng Tianci has been smooth sailing since he was a child, although he has obsessions in his heart, he has not formed a demon, and he quickly broke free from the illusion.
When he saw Yue Mingqiu's appearance again, he guessed that the other party should be trapped in the illusion and couldn't get out.
He immediately became proud: "Look at the tricks you used to harm me, and now you are not behind me?" β
Feng Tianci finished speaking triumphantly, and originally wanted to do something to Yue Mingqiu. But seeing that Xie Zhengliu protected Yue Ming's revenge so tightly, he had no possibility of making a move, so he had to leave angrily.
Seeing this scene, Elder Chen on the other side of the water mirror smiled again: "These three people are so indecisive, it's really stupid to waste time for a person who is trapped by a demon!" β
"Elder Chen understands again." This time, it was not the previous female elder in red who spoke, but a young man with a handsome face.
I don't know what he was thinking, but Elder Chen was very restrained with this young man, and only pretended not to hear the man's reply, turned his head and continued to look at the water mirror.
And it was the kung fu of these two sentences that Yue Mingqiu finally moved.
He opened his eyes suddenly, the bloodshot in his eyes was terrifyingly red, and he almost couldn't hold his body and collapsed.
"Are you alright?" Xie Zhengliu asked.
Yue Mingqiu glanced at the two of them, and his expression was deep: "You didn't leave?" β
He guessed that he must have spent a long time in the illusion, and he thought that Xie Zhengliu and they had been away for a long time, but he didn't expect that these two people had been guarding him.
Zhuang Youqian: "You haven't woken up, how dare we leave you behind." β
This sounded like a joke, but Yue Mingqiu heard solemnity from it. He was not a good talker, so he just took a short break and quickly got up and continued to climb the long steps.
I don't know how long it has been, Xie Zhengliu felt that his clothes were soaked with sweat several times, dried a few times, and he could barely move under his feet, and finally the archway of the inner mountain gate appeared in front of him.
The three of them simply rushed into the inner mountain gate with their last bit of strength, and then lay down on the ground heavily, looking extremely embarrassed.
Feng Tianci, who had arrived more than an hour earlier than them, had already recovered, and when he saw the three of them without scruples, he pouted and said, "Inferior people just don't know the etiquette, and they don't know if the Heavenly Dao is blind, so they let such a person have a spiritual root." β
His voice was not small, but no one wanted to fight for Xie Zhengliu.
The children of the first few families to ascend the inner mountain gate gathered around, and they had no intention of communicating with people from the lower three thousand backgrounds.
However, they didn't care about these Xie Zhengliu, and the three of them supported each other to stand up, although they were embarrassed, they were very excited in their hearts.
It was also their luck that not long after the three of them climbed up, a monk rang the big bell in front of the mountain gate. The bell fell, and the children who were still struggling on the long steps were all pushed away from the long steps, because they failed to pass the assessment within the stipulated time and had lost their qualifications to enter the inner mountain gate.
At the same time, a gentle spiritual power descended on the new disciples, removing their previous fatigue and fatigue.
With a crisp and pleasant sound of bells, the young man wearing the inner disciple's uniform slowly walked up to everyone: "Congratulations on passing the entrance examination, I am your senior brother Wen Yan, and then follow me to meet the sect master and the elders." β
The young man has a pure temperament and a gentle appearance. Anyone who sees it can't help but have a good impression and want to give up all their trust.
And behind the water mirror, the elders who were high above all showed a smile that was watching the show.
The female elder in red said even more evilly: "Why don't you come and make a bet and see how many people Wen Xiaozi can deceive this time?" β
For a while, there was only the sound of the elders betting in the main hall, and this group of people standing at the top of the Hengtian Sect's combat power directly fell into a joyful atmosphere and couldn't extricate themselves.
Only the naΓ―ve and ignorant new disciples in the water mirror are following the young man into an unpredictable trap.
