Xiandao Linglong

As Ye Qi's mind was gradually shrouded in black fog, the mysterious shadow floating in the air stared at Ye Qi closely, with an expression of indescribable tension.

"Boy! Don't let your desire for greater power cloud your heart!"

But at this time, Ye Qi's five senses were closed, and he was not affected by the outside world at all. In his eyes, there was only the power that was close at hand yet seemed to be far away.

"Brother Ye Qi! There are too many people in this world who don't want to see me. You won't have a stable life with me. I... can live well on my own! Go away!"

"I promised Master that I would protect you forever! I am a man, and I must keep my word!"

Ye Qi's mind was replaying memories of his childhood, and he suddenly became worried.

"But you're too weak. You can't even protect yourself, so how can you protect me? Manliness? It's just a kind of psychological comfort for your cowardice!"

Every merciless word pierced his heart like a needle, but he did not feel annoyed at all in the face of her humiliation, or even resentment.

After all, the girl who could have enjoyed being pampered was forced to pretend to be strong because of herself.

"You are too weak... too weak... too weak!"

That sarcastic voice echoed in his mind over and over again, striking at the most fragile self-esteem in his heart again and again.

"Get stronger... I want to get stronger... One day, I'll stand in front of you and tell you in person that I can do what I said back then!"

Ye Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and the last ray of light in his eyes gradually dimmed. Desire and power continued to erode his heart. At this moment, he was like a ferocious beast, full of violence and without any human emotions.

"Ye Qi! Wake up! Wake up!"

Just as the last ray of light in his eyes was about to disappear, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and this voice was full of sunshine and joy.

Compared with the sarcastic voices in his previous memories, the former made him more able to open his heart, like a piece of ice in the scorching summer, which gradually calmed his originally impetuous emotions!

The mysterious shadow watched these twists and turns, stroked his unreal white beard, and said with a smile: "You are an interesting little kid. Not only are you very popular, but you also have a very high affinity with immortals. However, you owe so much love debt, you will have to pay it back in the future!"

After Ye Qi regained consciousness, the black fog that covered the sky and the sun in his mind also dissipated, but it did not disappear completely. Instead, it hid in a small corner of his soul and mind, and existed as if it would counterattack at any time.

"Hey! Boy! Wake up! You can't sleep here! Wake up!"

Looking at Ye Qi who fell asleep on the ground in the sea of corpses and blood, the mysterious old man called out to him anxiously.

Staying unconsciously in this place where a great battle had just taken place, not to mention whether enemies would come here after hearing the noise, just the huge noise just made might attract a group of monsters.

After all, there are always traces of monsters in Baicao Valley on a normal day. It has been occupied by humans in recent days, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at it covetously.

"I...what's wrong with me?" Ye Qi opened his eyes amidst the calls.

"You were almost controlled by the dark forces just now, but luckily you woke up in time!"

"Ah! Who are you, old man?"

When Ye Qi came to his senses, he suddenly saw a weathered face in front of him, and his body was in the shape of an illusory soul.

"Me? It's been so long, I can't remember some of it!"

"Are you a ghost?"

Ye Qi was extremely curious about this person who appeared out of nowhere, especially about his illusory body. After all, no one in this world had ever heard of anyone surviving without a physical body.

"You're such a fool! Instead of being curious about who I am, why not focus on yourself? Let me ask you, where did the Wuji Bumie technique you're practicing come from?"

"How did you know?"

Ye Qi suddenly stood up and stared warily at the person in front of him who seemed harmless but could reveal his secrets as soon as he opened his mouth.

After all, this technique runs counter to the ordinary path of cultivating immortals. The method of absorbing dark forces to cultivate alone is enough to be listed as a taboo by all the immortal cultivation sects in the world!

"Because I know the last person who practiced this technique, but with your insignificant strength, you are not qualified to be compared with him!" The old man looked at the little guy in front of him and said with a smile.

"Judging from the way you look like you deserve a beating, your cultivation level must be very strong?" Ye Qi said, holding a long sword in his hand and looking at him with extremely vigilant eyes.

"Why are you so embarrassing, little guy? Having too much self-esteem is not a good thing!"

"So much nonsense! Old man! Look at the sword!"

As Ye Qi was speaking, he suddenly thrust his sword forward, but saw that the old man didn't move at all, and there was not even a sign of resistance.

Just when he was considering whether to reduce his strength and stop, suddenly a spiritual barrier appeared in front of him. The sword in his hand shook violently, and his arm felt numb!

"So strong! What's his strength?" Ye Qi was shocked.

Seeing that the attack failed, Ye Qi turned around and swam behind the old man as nimbly as a fish in water. Seeing that he was still arrogant and not on guard at all, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose slightly.

After all, no matter how high his cultivation level is, a mortal body cannot withstand the attack of a sharp sword. Unless he is a legendary immortal, he will definitely be defeated by this attack!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just as the long sword was about to pierce the mysterious old man's body, Ye Qi suddenly felt an invisible pressure, and his body immediately fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"Little kid! You're certainly quite strong, but you're a bit soft-hearted! If you truly resolve to embark on this path of cultivation, you're destined to experience the most brutal intrigues and deceptions in this world. Even a moment of mercy and kindness towards your enemy could lead to your own irreparable destruction!"

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? How can the world be as bad as you say?"

"Since this world is as beautiful as you imagined, why do you covet such powerful power? Wouldn't it be better to go back and be an ordinary person?"

Being stared at by the old man's sharp eyes, I suddenly felt uncomfortable. Guilty? Or was it self-deception?

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"You accidentally destroyed my reincarnation spirit fetus, causing my thousand years of hard work to be ruined in an instant, so now I want to make a deal with you!"

"What deal?"

Ye Qi looked at him warily. Although he didn't know what his crazy words meant, he could at least be sure of one thing from his words, that is, he existed a thousand years ago!

"I can give you the powerful strength you desire, but as a trade, if danger ever strikes, I hope you won't let this strength go to waste!"
