The goddess is killing people in the world again

In a hazy and misty fairyland, a towering and majestic tower that reaches into the sky is looming.

This mysterious tower is built entirely of bluestone that is full of mystery. Its body is covered with ancient, obscure spells and strange and bizarre patterns, exuding a heart-pounding mysterious atmosphere.

The entire tower is surrounded by a dreamy, ethereal and hazy aura, like an invisible and intangible solid barrier that isolates the tower from the world.

And at the top of the tower, there is a faint but eye-catching light, as dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky.

"What on earth is this place?" Shang Qianyue looked up at the towering pagoda in front of him, his heart full of confusion. When he saw the antique plaque hanging on the gate of the pagoda, there were three large characters engraved on it: Locking Immortal Pagoda.

"Why am I here? Did I accidentally enter a forbidden area?" Shang Qianyue muttered to herself, and at the same time, several names flashed through her mind: "Shi An... Hua Shu... Xiu Ming... Gu Qingyan..."

He tried calling them quietly, but got no response.

"Help! Help!" Suddenly, a terrified woman's cry came from the tower. The voice sounded quite familiar, and Shang Qianyue's heart tightened.

"It's Xu'er!" He didn't have time to think about it, and pushed open the tightly closed door of the Locking Immortal Tower without hesitation.

When he stepped into the tower, the scene he saw shocked him: he saw his sister Shang Shixu tied up tightly with thick ropes, unable to move, with her back against the cold and hard wall.

Shang Shixu, who was terrified, was extremely excited when she saw her brother Shang Qianyue. She shouted anxiously: "Second brother, come and save me!"

"Xu'er, what is going on?" Shang Qianyue asked anxiously.

Shang Shixu looked pale and replied weakly, "The sect was suddenly attacked by a group of demons. They were so powerful that we couldn't resist them at all. We were all captured by these abominable monsters and locked up in this tower."

Shang Qianyue was extremely anxious after hearing this, and asked quickly: "What should we do now? How can I save you, Xu'er!"

Shang Shixu tried to cheer herself up. She used up all her strength to barely open her mouth and said in a low and hoarse voice: "It's actually very easy. Look at the stone pillar behind you. There is a mechanism hidden on it. Just turn it to the left and this damn spell will naturally be lifted."

"Is it really that simple?" The other person's face was full of disbelief.

"That's right, second brother. I can clearly feel the spiritual power in my body being lost rapidly. If we continue to delay, the consequences will be unimaginable..." Shang Shixu's eyes were full of anxiety and pain.

"I know. Don't worry. I'll take care of it right away." Shang Qianyue did not dare to delay at all. He immediately walked towards the stone pillar and began to turn it according to what Shang Shixu said.

Just as he turned, the entire Locking Immortal Tower began to tremble violently, and the corners of Shang Shixu's mouth, who was under control, rose slightly without being noticed.

The spell that bound Shang Shi Sequence dissipated instantly, and she fell to the ground as lightly as a falling leaf.

Shang Qianyue was startled and rushed over in a hurry. She supported Shang Shixu, who was shaking a little, and asked anxiously, "Xu'er, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Shang Shixu slowly raised his head with a smile on his face. He looked at Shang Qianyue who was worried and said softly, "Don't worry, second brother. I'm fine."

However, just as the two were talking, a loud noise suddenly sounded. A large group of figures came surging like a tide, with great momentum. Shang Qianyue looked at them with astonishment in his eyes.

The person at the head of the crowd was Yun Zhilan. He looked solemn, his eyes sharp as a sword, and he stared at everything in front of him. When he saw the broken seal, his face became more solemn, and he shouted angrily: "Who is so bold as to dare to unleash the barrier that seals the demon god without permission!"

The sound was like thunder, echoing in the air and making people feel frightened.

"Demon God?" Shang Qianyue's face was full of astonishment, and his voice was trembling.

At this moment, something unexpected happened. Shang Shixu, who was standing behind Shang Qianyue, suddenly changed his expression and burst into crazy laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The laughter echoed in the air, making people's hair stand on end.

"Xu'er, what's wrong with you?" Shang Qianyue looked at Shang Shixu in horror and tried to reach out to touch her, but was bounced back by an invisible force.

Yun Zhilan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Be careful, she is possessed by a demon."

Before he finished speaking, Shang Shixu suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Shang Qianyue's collar like an iron clamp, and lifted him up. Shang Qianyue struggled desperately but could not break free from Shang Shixu's restraints.

"My dear second brother, thank you for releasing me from the seal!" Shang Shixu said gritting his teeth, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

After saying that, Shang Shixu mercilessly threw Shang Qianyue to the ground. There was a dull thud, and Shang Qianyue's body hit the ground heavily, raising a cloud of dust.

"This body is quite good." The demon god cast his eyes on his own body and nodded with satisfaction.

Yun Zhilan was so angry that he was shaking all over, and shouted angrily: "That is my disciple's body, you abominable demon god, you are not worthy of using it!"

Shang Qianyue swung the sword in his hand and stabbed at the demon god. However, the demon god just slightly turned his body and dodged the attack.

"Hmph, with just this little ability of yours, you still want to hurt me?" The demon god laughed.

Shang Qianyue endured the pain and got up from the ground, his eyes filled with despair and anger.

"Demon God, let my sister go!" he roared.

The demon god sneered, "Your sister? She died a long time ago. The one occupying this body now is me!"

After saying that, the demon god launched another attack. A black beam shot out from her hand and hit Yun Zhilan directly. Yun Zhilan was unable to dodge and was hit by the beam, falling to the ground.

Shang Qianyue felt heartbroken. He couldn't bear to see his master and sister get hurt, so he decided to fight the demon god with all his might.

"I won't let you succeed!" Shang Qianyue rushed towards the demon god and started a fierce battle with her...

The demon god's eyes were as cold as ice, staring at the person in front of him with endless murderous intent, and said in a cold voice: "In that case, I will personally send you on your way!" Before he finished speaking, the aura around the demon god suddenly changed, and an extremely terrifying energy wave suddenly erupted.

However, at this critical moment, the demon god's body suddenly trembled violently, his face showed an expression of extreme pain, and he shouted hoarsely: "Second brother, kill me quickly!" His voice was full of despair and pleading.

"Xu'er!" Shang Qianyue's emotions instantly went out of control when she saw this. She screamed in shock, her face full of disbelief and grief.

Shang Shixu endured the severe pain and said with difficulty: "Second brother, I really don't want to hurt you... Only by killing me quickly can we completely destroy the demon god, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

"No, Xu'er, you absolutely can't do that!" Shang Qianyue's heart was broken and she refused in great pain.

Unexpectedly, in an instant, Shang Shixu's mind was once again occupied by the demon god. Her face became hideous and distorted, and she let out a sinister and terrifying laugh: "Hahahahaha, this is so ridiculous! My dear second brother, can you really bear to do something to your own sister? I have always been your most beloved sister!" The laughter echoed in the air, making people's hair stand on end.

Shang Qianyue was in an extreme struggle. He stared at his sister who was possessed by the demon god with wide eyes, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Second brother, hurry up!" Shang Shixu's voice came again, with the last bit of reason.

Shang Qianyue gritted his teeth and raised the sword, but he couldn't bring it down.

"What are you hesitating about! I'm no longer your sister!" Shang Shixu shouted at Shang Qianyue.

Shang Qianyue's whole body trembled, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath, used all his strength, swung his sword, and stabbed at Shang Shixu...

"Ah!" A shrill scream resounded through heaven and earth, as if to tear the entire world apart. It turned out that the scream came from the demon god in Shang Shixu's body.

At this moment, she was suffering from unprecedented pain and torture. The pain was like thousands of poisonous insects gnawing at her soul, making her unable to bear it. Her soul also completely dissipated at this moment, turning into tiny stars floating in the air. It was as if it had never existed, disappearing without a trace.

Shang Shixu tightly grasped the long sword that was inserted into her body. Blood flowed down the hilt, dyeing the ground beneath her feet red. Her eyes gradually became dim and her body slowly fell down uncontrollably.

At this moment, a figure rushed to Shang Shixu like lightning and supported her body in time as she was about to fall to the ground.

This person was Shang Shang Qianyue. His face was filled with anxiety and concern, with tears glistening in his eyes.

"Xu'er, it's my second brother's fault..."

Shang Shixu's face was as pale as paper, her breath was weak, and her originally bright eyes became dim at this moment, as if she had lost all vitality.

Shang Shixu raised his hand with his last bit of strength and gently stroked Shang Qianyue's face, with a look of guilt and self-blame on his face. "Brother... I don't blame you. It's enough to use my insignificant life in exchange for the peace of the people of the world... Thank you, brother..." Her voice became lower and lower, and finally turned into a sigh.

Before she finished her words, Shang Shixu's head drooped down as if hit by a sledgehammer, her eyes were tightly closed, as if she no longer had the strength to open them.

Shang Qianyue watched all this happen, feeling so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. He cried out at the top of his lungs, "Xu'er! Xu'er!" The miserable cry echoed in the air, breaking one's heart.

However, Shang Qianyue was too overwhelmed by the grief. His eyes went dark and he fainted. When he woke up again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place - the blue sea.

What caught my eye was the calm Chen Zhe and the gentle Wen Hong.

Wen Hong smiled and said softly, "Congratulations, you have successfully passed the test of the heart."

"Test?" Shang Qianyue's eyes were confused and he repeated these two words subconsciously.

"That's right, everything you just experienced was not real, but was taken from the most real fear in your heart." Wen Hong explained in a calm tone.

Shang Qianyue stood there as if struck by lightning, Wen Hong's words echoing in her mind.

He thought to himself: So that's how it is... Then Xu'er is safe and sound, and everything that happened before was just a terrifying nightmare! Thinking of this, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed.

At this moment, Shang Shi'an also walked out of the Dream Valley, his face looking even uglier than Shang Qianyue's.

"Shi An, what's wrong with you?"

Shang Qianyue helped Shang Shian up. Shang Shian's face turned pale. How could it be possible? How could such a thing happen?

"Time eucalyptus."

Shang Qianyue shouted.

Shang Shian came back to his senses: "Second brother? Why am I here?"

"Congratulations on becoming the third person to successfully leave Dream Valley." Chen Zhe said.

Shang Qianyue and Shang Shi'an looked at each other, both of them felt a lingering fear. They understood that this test was not only a test of strength, but also a test of their state of mind.

Chenzhe looked at them with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "You did a great job. However, this is just the beginning, and there are more challenges waiting for you in the future."

Wen Hong added: "Next, you will face the true path of cultivation. Only by constantly improving yourself can you protect the people and things that you cherish in your heart."

Shang Qianyue and Shang Shi'an nodded solemnly, indicating that they were ready. They knew that the road ahead might be full of thorns, but they would not be afraid.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Shang Shixu's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Shang Qianyue quickly shook her head, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

However, how could his slightly stiff expression escape Shang Xiuming's eyes? Shang Xiuming frowned and asked with concern: "Second brother, I have also noticed that you have been absent-minded since we came back from Dream Valley. Did you see something disturbing in Dream Valley?"

Faced with his brother's repeated questioning, Shang Qianyue seemed a little uneasy. He answered evasively: "No...no."

Seeing Shang Qianyue's insincere words, Shang Xiuming's doubts grew deeper, but he did not continue to ask.

Shang Shixu tried to change the subject and make the atmosphere more relaxed. He smiled and said, "After the Cultivation Conference, everyone should be happy! Tomorrow is the apprenticeship ceremony. According to the rules of Yunqing Sect, the top ten can be selected as disciples by the four elders."

Shang Shixu introduced the habits and specialties of the four elders to the five people: “Elder Wujie has a hot temper and is also the head elder of the Yunqing Sect, responsible for teaching exercises and mental skills.

Elder Yun Mo is rather strict and is good at formations and refining equipment.

Elder Stardust is bold and uninhibited. He likes to travel around and has in-depth research on herbs and alchemy.

Elder Youxue is kind and amiable, and mainly teaches music and illusion. You can choose the appropriate elder according to your interests. "Shang Qianyue listened to Shang Shixu's introduction and secretly made a plan in his mind.

He is quite interested in battle formations and weapon refining, and Elder Yun Mo happens to be good at this, so perhaps he will gain something by following him in practice."

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and there was a gentle breeze.

Shang Shixu, dressed in gorgeous attire of a true disciple, arrived at the apprenticeship ceremony with a graceful and heroic demeanor.

As Yun Zhilan's thirteenth disciple, she has always been a loner, free and at ease, and has long been accustomed to this unrestrained lifestyle.

She really had no interest in taking in a disciple, as she always felt it would be troublesome to have a little tail following her around.

However, this time it was Uncle Wujie who personally gave the order, forcing her to take in at least one apprentice.

On that mysterious fairy mountain that towers into the clouds and is shrouded in mist, a solemn and grand ceremony of apprenticeship is being held.

The apprenticeship platform is like a sacred altar, standing high on the top of the mountain, surrounded by rolling auspicious clouds and auspicious aura, as if it is connected to heaven and earth.

Sitting on the stage was an elder who looked radiant and had an immortal demeanor.

He has white hair but an extremely handsome face, and exudes an extraordinary temperament.

In front of him, a group of vigorous young cultivators knelt down. They had firm eyes and were full of awe as they kowtowed to the elder respectfully.

This highly respected old man is Elder Wujie.

At this moment, all the elders of the Yunqing Sect occupied high positions in the main hall, including those powerful ones who had already entered the Golden Core Realm.

The others stood in neat rows in the Tianxin Hall. The atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

"Junior sister, is there anyone you like among the disciples participating in the selection this time?" Twelve Senior Brother Chi Xiao, who was sitting on the right hand side of Shang Shixu, asked softly.

Shang Shixu frowned slightly and replied with difficulty: "Alas... Senior Brother, you also know that I have never accepted a disciple, so I really don't know how to choose the right person! However, this time, Senior Uncle has given an order, and he must choose a disciple from me."

Hearing this, Chi Xiao couldn't help but laugh and comforted her, "Hahahaha, don't worry, Junior Sister. What Uncle said makes sense. After all, as a teacher, it is your job to teach and answer questions! And with your ability, Junior Sister will definitely be able to find a disciple who gets along well with you!"
