Urban Cultivation: The master who has overcome the tribulation is reborn

All the centipedes on Zhu Xiao'e's body were ignited by the green flames, and her entire body turned into a human-shaped ball of fire lying on the ground.

Even so, she was still howling clearly, as if it would never end.

Even after she struggled to crawl out of the house inch by inch and the rain soaked her whole body, it still couldn't extinguish the cold green flame.

Heipang just stared at the human-shaped green fireball in the rain, as if he was scared silly, and didn't blink for a long time.

After a long time, he heard a crisp sound in his ears, as if something exploded in flames.

Heipang and many villagers around him turned their heads at the same time, looking for the source of the sound.

The village chief, whose legs were broken, looked at Zhu Xiao'e, who had not yet been completely burned, with endless fear in his old eyes.

He subconsciously looked down at the green spark that lit up at the broken leg, and screamed like crazy: "Dashan, kill me, kill me!"

Unfortunately, before he could get a response from his grandson, the green flame had already lit up.

As soon as the fire started burning, the village chief finally understood the intensity of the pain Zhu Xiao'e was suffering.

A faint burning sensation came from the burning flame, followed by the illusion that the hair, blood, flesh, and even bones were all on fire.

The pain reaches the bone marrow through the surface of the skin, and then penetrates into the internal organs from the bone marrow. The pain increases exponentially from being weak.

The skin and flesh felt like they were being pricked by needles, the blood and flesh felt like they were being bitten by insects and ants, and it felt as if tens of millions of mosquitoes had appeared in the bones, constantly sucking the marrow.

It's just that this feeling seems to be magnified countless times and directly imprinted on the soul.

First, feel it spreading from the soul to the body, and then wait for the actual burning sensation to come, and then feel it again directly into the soul.

This cycle repeats itself over and over again, and not only has there been no adaptation or weakening, but it has become clearer and brighter as time goes by.

The village chief completely collapsed in an instant, his cloudy eyeballs bulged out of his sockets as if they were about to explode.

"what--"

His voice echoed from inside the house, filling the souls of all the villagers, and finally spreading outward, stopping nowhere.

Heipang's legs went weak and he took two steps back and fell to the ground.

He ignored the gray-white centipedes all over the ground, supported himself on the ground with his hands and kept backing away.

While retreating, he saw out of the corner of his eye that a centipede on the body of another villager was inexplicably combusting.

Then, a ray of green fire lit up, which was unforgettable once you saw it.

……

Jiang Ran held the centipede in his hand and walked slowly along the mountain path toward the top of the mountain.

This centipede was not afraid of water and looked even more ferocious in the rain. Unfortunately, due to the green light between Jiang Ran's fingers, it was like a well-behaved pet and did not even dare to struggle or move.

He walked so fast that even though Shen Qingjun was holding an umbrella, her clothes got wet because of his fast pace.

"Jiang Ran, are you going to look for Feifei..."

Seeing that the umbrella was in the way, Shen Qingjun simply closed it and walked in the rain with him.

Seeing Jiang Ran walking on his way in silence, she hesitated to ask, but swallowed the two unlucky words halfway through.

Bai Feifei's specific condition has not been confirmed yet, so we cannot jump to the conclusion that she is in danger.

After all, she didn't suffer any fatal injuries when she fell into the valley. Maybe Bai Feifei has better luck and can turn the danger into safety.

After waiting for a while and seeing no response from Jiang Ran, Shen Qingjun spoke with a gloomy look on his face.

"Are you blaming me too?"

"I know that you and Feifei have a special relationship. You would be more worried than anyone else if something happened to her."

Once Shen Qingjun started talking, there was a tendency that she couldn't stop.

"I shouldn't have kept it a secret from Grandpa Qi from the beginning, and I shouldn't have insisted on going into the mountains regardless of Tan Zishan's opinion."

"If you hadn't come to Luoyin Mountain to save me today and left me there to fend for myself, it would have been better than knowing the truth but feeling powerless without being able to think of any solution."

Shen Qingjun sniffed and tried hard to hold back the urge to burst into tears.

"I want to apologize to Zishan and the other four, but I feel like it would sound hypocritical to say these things after what happened."

"Fei Fei is missing now. I can't help you at all except getting in the way. I'm no different from a waste."

Jiang Ran sighed helplessly, paused and turned to look at her.

When Shen Qingjun was staring at him and avoided his gaze like a child who had made a mistake, he finally spoke after thinking for a while.

"You've said so much, if it can alleviate your guilt, it won't hurt."

"But judging from your current state, the events at Luoyin Mountain seem to be becoming your obsession."

"It's meaningless to say anything. I just want to ask you a question."

"If killing more than 600 people from Luoyin Mountain can make Tan Zishan feel relieved and Ma Yilun no longer feel aggrieved, will you change your decision?"

Facing Jiang Ran's burning gaze, Shen Qingjun shook his head without hesitation: "Many people's crimes do not deserve death."

Jiang Ran's eyes froze for a while, then he chuckled softly, "Whether the crime is serious or not is not up to your conjecture. If you only punish the main culprit, then how do you define the scope of the word 'main culprit'?"

Shen Qingjun's expression froze when she heard that, but Jiang Ran didn't intend to let her answer.

"Whether it's one person or a group of people doing evil, you only need to understand one thing: everyone should be responsible for their own actions. They are their own 'chief culprit'."

Shen Qingjun frowned slightly, feeling that he hadn't said enough. "I don't quite understand."

Jiang Ran raised his lips without commenting, "Everything is not yet understood, it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, what you hold on to is the most important thing."

Shen Qingjun frowned, and suddenly her body trembled. She rolled up her sleeves, raised her arm, and pointed at the red mark on it.

"Will it really turn out like what you said after being bitten by the Three Yin Centipede?"

She had been worried for a long time, and now she finally had the chance to ask this question.

Jiang Ran had a solemn expression, with a hint of awe in his eyes.

Under Shen Qingjun's gaze, he reached out and grasped the other's arm, and a wisp of Nine Tribulations Qi spread over.

"It turned out that she was bitten by the Three-Yin Centipede." Jiang Ran said in a low voice, scaring Shen Qingjun so much that her pretty face turned pale and her legs became a little weak.

Immediately he changed the subject, let go of the other person's arm, pointed at the top of the mountain which was nearby, and spoke seriously.

"See the top of the mountain? If you jump down from the place where Bai Feifei jumped off the cliff, I will be able to determine her falling trajectory and save her life."

Shen Qingjun's eyes turned red, and she keenly caught the hidden meaning in his words, "You mean, Feifei is not dead?"

"Maybe not." Jiang Ran shook his head. "If you didn't jump, I might not be able to find her in time."

Shen Qingjun was stunned for a few seconds, and saw the seriousness in his eyes. She lowered her head and looked at the wound bitten by the Three Yin Centipede with tears in her eyes, and said resolutely with tears in her voice: "I will jump!"

When Jiang Ran saw her finish her words, he lowered his head and ran to the top of the mountain. He took a few steps and grabbed her wrist.

"There is no such thing as a three-yin centipede. If you get bit, you won't become a bad person. I'm just scaring them."

He said this, but in his heart he was secretly thinking: "Your heart is as clear as the bright moon in the sky, how can it be affected by a mere Three Yin Centipede?"

Shen Qingjun suddenly turned around and cried out, "What about Feifei?"

Jiang Ran held her wrist and walked up to the top of the mountain. When they stood at the highest point of Luoyin Mountain, he said softly, "She is fine for now."

Without waiting for Shen Qingjun to speak, he placed the Three Yin Centipede in the palm of his hand, let it hover in his palm, and then spoke again.

"Shen Qingjun."

"Hmm?" She sobbed and tilted her head, her eyes confused.

The Moon-Reflecting Stone in Jiang Ran's arms flashed with a faint light, and the Three-Yin Centipede in his palm, which was full of blood, suddenly stopped moving.

He looked at the strands of blood emanating from the centipede and pointing to various places in the mountain, and the sound was somewhat inexplicable.

"Want to see fireworks?"
