Chapter 643: Putting oneself in others' shoes, being deserted by friends and relatives

There was silence between heaven and earth.

Young Master Jiuyou looked at him in disbelief as his best friend, whom he had always relied on, actually attacked him and took the spiritual treasure for himself!
"Purple Star Ring. I have waited too long for this day."

Zi Chengqian slowly stroked the purple moon that had lost its luster. The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and his eyes were full of confusion and infatuation, as if he was looking for his lover who had been lost for many years.

"."

The spirit of the Zichen Star Ring was also dumbfounded. It had just been discussing things with Young Master Jiuyou, but was suddenly interrupted. It didn't know what to do.

In the end, they all lost their freedom, and it seemed to be the same for everyone, but Young Master Jiuyou was obviously more reliable than Zi Chenggan, which made it feel uneasy.

Lin Shan was even more confused below!

Isn't it rumored that Zi Chengqian once lent a helping hand to big brother when he was in desperate situation and protected him for decades, so the two of them are close friends for life and death?

How did the backstab situation suddenly occur?

"Why."

In the distance, Young Master Jiuyou struggled to get up, raised his head and looked at the sky, his lips and neck were covered in blood.

“Why did you do that?”

He can't figure it out!
I really can’t figure it out!
"We have been friends for so many years, and we are willing to sacrifice our lives for each other. Why is it not worth a magic treasure?"

The young master of Jiuyou clearly remembered that if it weren't for Zi Chenggan, he would have died at the hands of the pursuing soldiers on the way of escaping when Jiuyou Sect was destroyed, and would never have lived to this day!

He was clearly my savior, so why did he attack me?
"If you had told me earlier that you wanted the Purple Star Ring, I would never have fought with you! I would have even helped you. But why did you do this?"

"No reason, you can only blame yourself for being too naive, Brother Wei."

Zi Chengqian held the Star Ring in his hand, soaring into the air, and turned around to face him with a calm expression.

"Why do you think I saved you?"

"for what."

The young master of Jiuyou muttered to himself, his eyes were dazed, as if he had lost focus, and he kept coughing up blood.

He had been fighting for such a long time that he had already exhausted all his strength when suppressing the Purple Star Ring. He was just holding on before.

Without any expectation, he was attacked by his best friend, which made a big hole in his waist, and his damaged internal organs were clearly visible!

"Isn't it because we are friends for life and death?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Zi Chengqian laughed loudly and looked at his friend lying on the ground with a mocking look on his face, as if he was looking at a mongrel dog.

"You take the friendship of life and death too seriously! Even if we are brothers, we will find a way to divide the family property after our parents die. You and I are just friends. Why should I help you?"

"Do you really think I will trust you with my life?"

"Do not make jokes!"

"Do I look like someone who has nothing to do?"

"Then why did you save me and protect me?"

Young Master Jiuyou had difficulty breathing, and felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue!

He can accept failure and setbacks, but the only thing he cannot accept is being backstabbed by the person he trusts the most!

This was the ultimate test of his Dao heart, as if it was going to chop him into pieces!
"Could it be for the spiritual treasure?"

“There’s more than one reason.”

Zi Chengqian didn't look at him again, but lowered his head to look at the spiritual treasure again and began to refine it. The spirit of the Zi Chen Star Ring resisted desperately and didn't want him to succeed.

"To be honest, I didn't know at first that you possessed the Nine Nether Sect's inherited spiritual treasure, the Nether Star Sect."

"If I had known earlier, I would have attacked you a long time ago!"

"The reason why I have kept you here is simply because I need the influence and connections left by your Nine Nether Sect, as well as the power of you and your subordinates to work for me."

"The Jiuyou Sect has deep roots, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse. I am taking you in to show my willingness to spend a fortune on a horse. I will gain recognition from the forces that are on good terms with the Jiuyou Sect and help me carve up your political legacy."

"And the pressure you bring will be borne by the entire Yuan Mo Sect. Isn't that wonderful?"

The pressure will be borne by the Yuanmo Sect, while the benefits will be given to Zicheng Qianzhan.

Using the power of the sect behind you to gain benefits and build relationships for yourself, this is the so-called 'friendship of life and death'!
When the young master of Jiuyou fled to the State of Jin, he had four Dharma protectors and thousands of disciples under him, all of whom were the elite of the Jiuyou Sect. In order to repay Zi Chengqian for his protection, they would naturally work for him.

From this point of view, Zi Chenggan needs the young master of Jiuyou, so there is really no need to kill him.

Because the living Young Master Jiuyou is more valuable!
Thanks to the friendship they have established, when Young Master Jiuyou breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, the benefits it will bring to him will far exceed before.

However, compared to obtaining the Purple Star Ring, everything is nothing!
"Zi Chen Xing Huan, why are you still struggling at this time? Can't you feel the power in my body that comes from the same source as yours?"

The spirit of the Zichen Star Ring roared and trembled, and its fear could be heard from outside.

"No! Let me go! I won't give in to you! Star destiny, Purple Star descended to earth, this... this is impossible, can you really..."

"Hahahahaha~~~"

Zi Chengqian laughed demonically in the sky, his long hair fluttering wildly, until now he finally showed his fangs!
He had waited for this day for so long that he had seen through the conspiracy of the Purple Star Ring Spirit long ago, and had been lurking in secret, just to watch it and Young Master Jiuyou suffer losses, so that he could reap the benefits!
Today, everything is under control.

"Zi Chengqian, Zi Chen, you! So that's how it is, I should have thought of it earlier"

The young master of Jiuyou was in a state of disarray, and it was not until this moment that he suddenly realized what was going on.

"It's been rumored among the high-ranking members of the Yuan Mo Sect that you are the incarnation of a star. It turns out that this is not a rumor, but the truth?"

"of course it's true!"

Zi Chengqian tried hard to suppress the Zichen Star Ring, and all his magic power surged. He had just fought a great battle with Heixun, but in fact he had been hiding his strength and had not used his full strength at all!
At this time, he truly exploded, and his realm was approaching the Nascent Soul stage!

"Otherwise, why would I be able to become the eldest senior brother of the Yuan Mo Sect? Otherwise, why would I be able to protect you for so many years? Otherwise, why would my word be so important in the sect?"

"I was born with the fate of Purple Star, and I was born with a destiny of prosperity and wealth. The elders of the Yuanmo Sect who know about this are counting on me to provide for their later years, so of course they have to find ways to help me."

"This magical treasure, the Purple Star Ring, was originally made for me. It is my destiny. How can an outsider like you take it away?"

Lin Shan's heart was pounding as he heard this from below.

Star destiny!

This is different from the Zhoutian star body and is another kind of special innate talent.

Fate is fate, spirit is spirit, two systems. The Zhoutian star body belongs to the star spirit body, the star spirit body is a kind of spirit body, and the spirit body, demon body, holy body, demon body, etc. are a kind of physical talent.

Speaking only of the spiritual body, it is possible to stand out from the very beginning, with its own talents, speed of cultivation, affinity with vital energy, comprehension of supernatural powers, etc. These are all tangible benefits!
As long as one possesses a spiritual body, he or she will naturally be regarded as a treasure by the major sects and will be cultivated with all their efforts.

If he can grow up, he will definitely be a big name in the world of cultivation!

And "fate",
Relatively speaking, it is quite mysterious.

This kind of thing is not concrete and cannot be revealed externally, but it is an innate, mysterious additional attribute that will unconsciously affect oneself, the people around him, and the direction of history.

From the mundane such as "unlucky husband", "prosperous", "successful career", "lots of money" to the kings and generals such as "noble", "powerful minister", "kingly and domineering spirit", "blessing of phoenix" and so on.

Some people are born into official families, have been living a life of luxury since childhood, and have a smooth career when they grow up. They are also described by the common people as being born with a "rich and noble destiny." That's pretty much what it means.

But this is just a simple fate. If defined in this way, everyone is born with a fate, but some are big, some are small, some are good, and some are bad.

But the fate in the world of cultivation is completely different from this!

The real destiny is a top talent that is far superior to others and has a gap with ordinary people. As the level of cultivation increases, it becomes stronger and stronger and can stand out!
For example, Lin Shan himself had seen and had doubts in his heart:

Lin Fan and Zhong Shenxiu's "lucky fate", Xiong Shanshangren's "xiaoqiang fate", and Zhu Duiyou's "jinx fate" all carry all kinds of incredible magical halos!

Even Lin Shan himself had the "disaster fate" as told by the great master of the immortal book from the upper realm!
This kind of fate can neither be said to be good nor bad.

If you want to say what direct help you can get, it is definitely not as good as the Son of Destiny.

But in some aspects, many wonderful reactions will occur, changing the fate of many people around and the future direction of things!
Uncertainty is, in fact, the most precious gift.

When your future is arranged from birth, stability will become a ceiling that limits yourself, which is something that some powerful people in high positions are eager to break.

However, in today's world, it is generally impossible to make use of destiny.

You can only slowly explore, adapt, and accept it, hoping it will become a powerful weapon in your hands.

Star destiny is a large category of destiny. Although there are many types, there are actually only a few of them when they are distributed among all the heavens and worlds. They are even rarer than spirits!
Zi Chengqian is born under the Zi Chen star. The original meaning of Zi Chen is luxury, so he will pursue status, influence and power wholeheartedly. This is his nature and is most beneficial to him.

Once he obtains the Purple Star Ring, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. It is the most suitable spiritual treasure for him in this world!

"So, the reason why Zichen Xingjun deliberately let you off the hook with that attack was because of you?"

Young Master Jiuyou laughed miserably and suddenly understood the key point.

Zi Chengqian has the fate of Zi Chen star. Others cannot see it, not even You Ying star lord can see it, but there is no way that Zi Chen star lord cannot see it!
That's why he left those words before he left, saying that I could go to Zichen Star to find him when I ascended to heaven in the future.

It turned out that this sentence was not said to the two of them, but to Zi Chenggan alone!

"Hahahahaha, I don't know about that. His Highness Xingjun certainly has his reasons for doing this. I'm just a junior."

Purple light surged in Zi Chenggan's hand, gradually suppressing the Zi Chen Star Ring. He could hear the spirit of the weapon inside crying for help helplessly.

"Master Jiuyou, you promised to help me transform into a human, come and save me!"

"Hei Xun, Hei Xun! You, the hundreds of tribes of the Star Palace, once conspired with me to form an alliance and help each other. Where have you been?"

"Hurry, I can't hold on any longer"

Young Master Jiuyou looked dejected. In his current state, how could he take back the spiritual treasure?

As for Heishun of the Wuma tribe?

He would have run away in this moment! Only a fool wouldn't run!
Zi Chengqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man. Don't you want freedom? I'll grant you your wish! I'll take you out of the spiritual treasure right away and let you roam freely in the world once again!"

"No, no, I don't want to come out, don't force me!"

The spirit of the Zichen Star Ring was squeezed out little by little, and its living space became smaller and smaller. It was terrified and helpless like a child.

At this point, it doesn't want any freedom anymore. It just wants to hide in a safe shell and live a contented and happy life.

But it's too late!

The Young Master of Jiuyou can hardly protect himself, let alone protect it?
"Zi Chengqian, you hid your true identity really well. I, Wei Wuya, have misjudged you in this life! I don't blame you for what happened today. Let's just write off all the past grudges and we will be strangers from now on! Cough cough cough."

"Brother Wei, what else is there to do? Why don't you die here today? I will deal with you after I deal with the spirit of the weapon. Don't worry."

Zi Chengqian was confident of victory and had no worries at all.

At this time, two people came from the direction where Yuxing came from.

"Young Master, we are here!"

It turned out to be the Protector Wu and the Old Ancestor Hongdong. The two were responsible for investigation and support outside, but they had not received any news from the Young Master Jiuyou, so they ran in to check.

Young Master Jiuyou was immediately delighted, his eyes lit up, and there was a ray of hope after a dark period!
Fortunately, I brought the elders of Jiuyoumen with me on this trip, otherwise I would have almost been unable to get out.

The two men hurried to his side, helped him up, and asked about his injuries.

"This is not important, let's go first."

Young Master Jiuyou didn't want to stay and make trouble. If the spiritual treasure was gone, it was gone. He could still handle the heavy tasks at the critical moment.

But at this moment, before he could react, the guardian Wu beside him suddenly stretched out his eagle-claw-like big hand and reached into his chest!

"you"

The young master of Jiuyou opened his eyes wide with anger, and it seemed as if there was a ripple in the underworld. It was simply unbelievable!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Boom~~~"

When the dust settled, the protector Wu was unharmed and had blocked the hateful attack from the young master Jiuyou.

"puff"

"Ding ding ding di li li li li."

A golden elixir fell from the huge hole in his chest, rolled farther and farther on the ground. He stretched out his hand to pick it up, but he didn't have the strength to do it.

The guardian Wu stepped forward and took the spiritual treasure Youxingmen in his hand in the dull gaze of the Hongdong Patriarch. He turned around and came to Zi Chenggan, respectfully presenting it to him with both hands.

"Not bad!"

Zi Chengqian took the Youxing Gate with a smile. This spiritual treasure contained the life's wealth of Young Master Jiuyou, and it changed hands so easily!

"Fellow Daoist Hongdong, what are you still standing there for? Now is the best time to submit your letter of surrender. I guess you don't need me to teach you what to do, right?"

The ancestor of Hongdong stayed beside the young master of Jiuyou and was obviously kept in the dark. He could not have anticipated that the protector Wu would betray him. He only woke up from his dream after being reminded.

He gritted his teeth, raised his hand, turned around and faced Young Master Jiuyou, ready to kill him!
