Chapter 861: Secular People

"Look at these dowries, they're all left by my parents..." The woman suddenly smiled, a smile that was a bit sad and a little lonely. Her eyes gradually became empty, as if all hope and light had disappeared...

Bright red blood slowly flowed down her beautiful forehead, slid across her fair cheeks, and dripped onto the ground, mixing with her tears. Perhaps she had cried herself dry, but the mixture of blood and tears still slowly drew a mysterious magic circle, emitting an eerie red light, looking particularly mysterious.

"How could this happen!" The man's eyes were filled with disbelief. He shouted loudly and hugged her tightly. However, his efforts seemed to be in vain. He could only watch her slowly grow colder and her life slip away bit by bit.

The wind howled beneath their feet, stirring up a cloud of dust, until pedestrians appeared on the road. They might have spotted the couple, but it was too late.

The man's hands were empty, his eyes lifeless, and beside him lay a red sword that looked like a woman's sword. It lay there quietly, as if telling a sad story.

There was an empty scabbard hanging around the man's waist. When he was rescued, the crimson sword was inserted into it, as if it was the last mark she left behind...

Many years later, the man was in his prime but dressed in rags. He accidentally saw the Changli sword that had once broken through the air. He just glanced at it indifferently without mentioning any past events. He just became good friends with the owner of the Changli sword, as if all the pain of the past had blown away with the wind.

Many years later, the old friend passed away. The man went to pay his respects, but he didn't know where the old friend had gone. His heart was filled with doubts and nostalgia...

Uh-huh~

The sword edge kept trembling, as if eagerly waiting for something.

Mo Wenjian gently touched the sword body, then swung it, and the Changli Sword soared into the sky. An unstoppable momentum burst out instantly, followed by a sword slash.

With this strike, the world suddenly darkened, even the cracks in the sky dimmed. Endless sword energy seemed to descend from ancient times, overwhelming Thunder Mountain as if it didn't exist. Only that sword remained in people's sight, as if the entire world was possessed by it.

The sword's light, shimmering white, pierced a ray of light, creating a crack in the sky. However, the crack widened as a devouring force suddenly surged out, no longer targeting just Mo Wenjian. Everyone within the Thunder Pool felt unsteady, as if the entire world was trembling.

Pa ~ Pa ~

Zhuang Mo and the Demon King took action one after another, one protected Ali and the other rescued the people around him. Even several people from Beichen Palace were rescued by the Demon King.

"Thank you, Demon King. But what kind of magical power does this Five Emperors' Tomb have that it makes my brothers feel so scared and almost lose their balance?" Chunmingge steadied his body and did not get sucked in and swallowed. He asked curiously with lingering fear in his heart. The brothers behind him also looked at him curiously. Obviously, they did not understand this spell either.

The Demon King waved his hand without explaining. Instead, Zhuang Mo, standing beside him, smiled. "You've all been living in Beichen Palace, rarely interacting with the righteous, so naturally, you don't recognize this spell. This is a unique creation of the Spring and Autumn Emperor. It's not some magical spell, but one that leverages the Emperor's name and the great temple's fortune to open a connection between any location, engulfing the enemy in the ancient formation of the Five Emperors' Ascension. That formation was left behind by the five great emperors of ancient times, including the White Emperor and the Green Emperor. Because of the five emperors' names, it's called the Five Emperors' Tomb, and this connection spell got its name from that."

"So that's how it is. It would be difficult to survive if we go in. I really have to thank the Demon King for his help." Chun Mingge said as he saluted again. The brothers behind him also bowed with gratitude in their eyes. After all, they had the name of the ancients. Those five emperors were not comparable to those today. If they really went in, they would definitely be in danger of death.

The Demon King simply ignored him. Zhuang Mo smiled again, "It's not completely hopeless. The Five Emperors' Tomb was left by our ancestors. How could it harm the younger generation of Xuanmen for no reason? The truth is, experience and training are the key to success, not just death."

Chunmingge listened attentively, nodded slightly, and then did not ask any more questions. Together with the Demon King, everyone looked at Luo Hongchen at this time.

Luo Hongchen was already very sloppy, and now he was even more tattered, with his hair half-disheveled, his beard messy, his wrinkled robe torn, and even his protective energy being broken.

There was no other way. He had just performed a secret technique, and the Five Emperors' Tomb had opened up. The crack not only exerted a pulling force on Mo Wenjian, but also naturally put him under considerable pressure from being within it. However, he was the caster after all, so the danger was mitigated considerably.

Who knew that beneath the rift, Thunder Mountain was being completely sucked away, a whirlwind of sand and rock swirling. Mo Wenjian, however, gave up resistance and soared into the sky with a single strike, actually aiding Luo Hongchen and widening the rift even further. This intensified the devouring force. Luo Hongchen hadn't anticipated this, and under attack from both sides, sword energy erupted around him, affecting him as well. However, he also had to consider the disciples of the Thunderbolt Hall, forcing him to protect them with all his might. He joined forces with Ji Yao, Bai Xiyuan, and several other juniors to protect the many younger disciples within the Thunder Pond. He bore the brunt of the pressure, and now he had to change his technique, closing the rift and restoring the Five Emperors' Tomb.

With a few sharp noises, the final buzzing sound echoed in the air, and the crack in the sky slowly closed and disappeared under everyone's wide-eyed gaze.

There was another buzzing sound, and Luo Hongchen slowly put down his hands. After finishing the spell, he felt weak all over. He turned his head and looked at Mo Wenjian, as if he was ready to attack.

At this moment, Bai Xide nimbly jumped forward, blocking Luo Hongchen and persuading him, "Why are you angry, old man? We have many poor families here, and there are also many masters on the Leiming Mountain side. Why don't we attack together? We will definitely be able to take back control of Leiming Mountain."

"Yes, old man, you take a rest first. We, the younger generations, will take care of it." Fairy Ji Yao also floated over lightly. She had helped Lei Gong stabilize his injuries. As for complete recovery, that could only be discussed after this matter was over. But now, dealing with the enemy was the most important thing.

"The Immortal Lord is right. We younger generations are here. Mr. Luo, as the Great Emperor, please take command and leave the battle here to us." Bai Xiyuan followed closely behind, took a step forward, and stood out together with Jiu Tian Yuanjun and the Twelve Immortals of Lei Ze.

Seeing so many people lined up together, it was a majestic sight. Luo Hongchen nodded, knowing that it was useless to delay any longer. It would be better for everyone to work together to ensure the safety here.

However, they wanted to take action, and the Han family on the opposite side was not willing to be outdone. It was just that there seemed to be disagreements between them. So although several of them took a few steps forward and looked eager to try, they did not dare to act rashly because they did not have the order of the Demon King. After all, the Demon King present was the greatest authority, and no one dared to act without his nod.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, a ray of spiritual light flashed from the Far North and landed in the Demon King's hand, transforming into a spiritual seal. The Demon King unfolded it and frowned, but after pondering for a moment, he decisively waved his hand and said, "Go!"

kill! !

True Man Blood Crow took the lead, swung the whisk in his hand, and inserted it into the collar of his back. Then he changed his hand to a long sword, and a cold light flashed straight towards Lei Gang.

"Haha, you're looking for death!!" Lei Gang laughed loudly and flew over to meet him. The two of them, one in front and one behind, fought each other in the thunder pool.

The two of them started first, and most of the others also took off into the air. At that moment, the two brothers of the Bai family, Bai Xiyuan and Bai Xide, plus two of the Twelve Immortals of Lei Ze, Lei Ao and Lei Yun, were confronting the four palace masters of Beichen Palace. The eight of them were intertwined and fought back and forth. For a while, it was difficult to tell the winner. Magic weapons, Taoist magic powers were displayed one after another, and the sky and earth were filled with wind and clouds, and lightning and thunder flashed.

On the other side, Fairy Ji Yao led Jiu Tian Yuan Jun to target the Demon King and others who had not moved, and then launched attacks one after another. Jiu Tian Yuan Jun joined forces to attack and surrounded several Fairy Demon Hall masters beside A Li. Bai Lang and others also joined the battle and attacked together.

At this moment, in the Immortal Absolute Formation, Long Tiexin slowly floated out and landed beside Ji Yao. He glanced at A Li across from him, then said to Zhuang Mo, "The Hall Master said you were going to fight, so he asked me to fight with you."

Zhuang Mo waved his hand naturally: "Zhuang Mo has already offended me before, so how can I take action now? Miss Long, please don't make fun of me."

"Okay, come with me and watch the battle." Long Tiexin pointed, and Zhuang Mo floated over.

Looking at the scene again, Luo Hongchen and the sloppy man looked at each other. Neither of them had any intention of taking action immediately. They were waiting. Although they were not sure what they were waiting for, at this moment, both sides chose to wait and see.

Fairy Ji Yao, on the other hand, looked at the Demon King, then at A-Li, and finally asked, "I wonder if the Demon King intends to take action himself?"

These words startled the Demon King. He hadn't wanted to get involved in the first place. He was currently in Thunder Mountain, but he was worried about Ah Li's presence. As for all of Xu Yi's recent plans, including the various events from three years ago, they had all been his sole decision-maker, and the Demon King had never been involved. He even disagreed with some of them, but with Xu Yi taking over, the Demon King hadn't interfered too much. Today was no different. He hadn't wanted to come, but Ah Li was eager to save his brother. He couldn't wait for the kidnapping in the Imperial Garden six months later, and Xu Yi's simultaneous plot, so he had to rush to intervene. He had originally planned to take Ah Li and Zhuang Mo away upon arrival in Thunder Mountain, but he didn't expect the place to be so busy, so he decided to wait and see. He was about to withdraw when the two sides started to move, but a spiritual message arrived from Fairy Demon Island, saying that the matter was far-reaching and asking the Demon King to do his best to mediate. With no other choice, he ordered the action, hoping to take advantage of the chaos and lead everyone out of Thunder Mountain in one fell swoop. Most importantly, he had to ensure that Demon Hill escaped unscathed.

"The one in our family is, after all, your senior sister. If she helps you for no reason, won't others laugh at us? Fairy, if you have anything you want to talk to her about, I, as the king, can step away for a while. But if a fight really breaks out, I have to say no." The words of the Demon King sounded ambiguous. To those who were paying attention, it felt like he was deliberately fanning the flames.

Fairy Ji Yao and A Li both understood the Demon King's hidden message. A Li felt an inexplicable fondness for Ji Yao, perhaps because she knew something about her past, or perhaps because they shared a common fate, both suffering under the same master. She thought of her own past experiences and then looked at Ji Yao's current situation, and a wave of sympathy welled up in her heart.

"Sister Ji Yao, do you have anything on your mind that you want to talk to me about?" Ali took a step forward with a smile and gently pushed the Demon King to let him stay away so that the two of them could talk alone.

The Demon King, who always doted on Ah Li, now obediently stepped aside. He scanned the area with his eyes while using his divine sense to lock onto Lei Ming, Mo Wenjian in front of him, and Luo Hongchen across from him. He was unsure of what profound plans he was making.

Fairy Ji Yao slowly floated over, a hint of hesitation on her face. She didn't really want to fight with A-Li. After all, they were sisters from the same sect, and their master was the former immortal master of Yaochi Fairyland, Master Xuan Guzi.

Although Master Xuan Gu Zi was a bit paranoid, putting that aside, she was truly kind to her disciples, devoting all her energy to their teaching and upbringing, and never thinking of herself. It could be said that if it weren't for those complicated past events, A Li would still be a disciple of Yao Chi, or even a master of immortality.

But fate is such a playful one. Many things are hard to predict. Who can tell the twists and turns and the right and wrong? The only thing to blame seems to be the unpredictable fate.

"The fairy is green and dark, floating like mist; the jade speaks and the white flowers are loved specially. The Nine Heavens Yuanjun of the past is no longer the same person. Little sister, should I call you Senior Sister, or should I address you as the Master of the Fairy Concubine Hall?" There was a different light flashing in the eyes of Fairy Ji Yao. If you didn't look carefully, no one could tell what story was hidden behind the expression in her eyes.

The water rippled. A-Li stared into Ji Yao's eyes and was silent for a long time. Finally, he smiled softly: "Whatever you say, it's just a name anyway, what's the big deal?"

"It seems that you have let it go, senior sister. I am really envious." There was a trace of barely perceptible resentment in Ji Yao's eyes. No one knew the suffering she had endured over the years.

"Sister, you are an immortal master now. You can do whatever you want. There is no need to envy others. Take care of the things in front of you first, and then think about the future. If you have any regrets in the future, you can remedy them as soon as possible." Ali's words contained many past events that outsiders did not know. Others might be confused after listening to them, but Ji Yao nodded silently after listening, indicating that she understood.

In fact, Ji Yao had long known in her heart that some things could not be avoided, but she had been hesitant and had not made up her mind. Now, after hearing the fairy concubine's reminder, she realized that if she delayed any longer, it might be too late.

"I remember what senior sister said, but I am just a soft-hearted little sister." Fairy Ji Yao suddenly raised her head, her eyes staring straight at the distant horizon.
