Bound to Mary Sue, I am against involution in the world of immortal cultivation

“Senior Brother…?” The little sister who was rolled to a safe area raised her head in surprise.

Two pairs of equally tired eyes met in the dim light. The senior brother who subconsciously held the person was silent for a long time, slowly fell to the ground, and lay on his back watching the light of the teleportation array completely go out.

"I won't run away again. Are you satisfied?"

The younger sister looked at her brother, her face pale: "What do you think I did this for?"

"You are my benefactor, how can I watch you die!"

"Whatever sins or blame you may have...I will bear them with you."

The senior brother's face went blank when he heard this.

"Well, it does sound touching." Fan Ning glanced at them calmly and signaled Ling You to kidnap them together. "I've seen many people trying to survive, but sending themselves to death... at first glance, it's quite novel."

Ling You sighed, "This isn't something that can be shared...it's a living person."

The junior sister lowered her eyes, and her lips, which were tightly bitten, were bleeding and turning white.

She knew very well what a mistake this was. When her cultivation left her body, when the poison took effect and she was on the verge of death... she wanted to live all the time.

But it's too difficult.

She had stepped onto a bridge that was destined to break from the very beginning, and she had no choice but to fall.

-

"Are these the people who escaped?" Yu Changqing arrived with Yueli Sect disciples and explained with a frown, "There's a strange place outside Yongzhou City. If it weren't blocked there, support would have arrived faster."

"That... is not in the same group as these people," Fan Ning thought of a gorgeous figure. His fingers slid across the closed secret door, and he felt a clear dent under the gray marks.

"Lin...?" Ling You recognized the word.

The moment these words fell, the disciples of Qianle Sect, who had already accepted their fate and stopped moving, were slightly moved for a moment.

Yu Changqing keenly caught on to it, and he grabbed the person closest to him and asked, "Did you know this?"

Fan Ning also glanced at him and said, "If you know something, it's better to speak out."

"I see your cultivation isn't very good. Logically speaking, if you're still so useless after taking a shortcut, you're either rotten wood yourself, or this shortcut... wasn't given to you properly."

She smiled faintly and asked, "Which type are you?"

"I've seen someone who's not too far off from your age, and he's already in the Spirit Severing stage."

This is like pouring boiling water into a frying pan.

The person who was thinking of keeping his mouth shut just now suddenly opened his eyes wide and glared at Fan Ning, who had a calm expression, fiercely, as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh from her.

"Junior Brother Wang!" someone shouted to stop him.

"I say!" Junior Brother Wang shook off the hand that was trying to pull him away, dissatisfied. "We are all disciples of the Sect Master, but you always get to choose before me because of your seniority... And I'm the one who's clearly put in the most effort!"

Years of discriminatory treatment finally erupted at this moment. Thinking of the person Fan Ning mentioned, his expression turned extremely bad. "The secret manual was stolen from the Lin family. Even this house originally belonged to the Lin family!"

"In just a hundred years, the Lin family has been completely replaced and no longer exists!"

Jiang Biehe pondered for a moment and said, "The current Li family does seem a bit unfamiliar to me, but I was raised in a small house in the past, so my memory of it is incomplete."

In other words, there is no way to distinguish the authenticity.

Fan Ning nodded and pointed at the marks on the ground. "How many people still know about this?"

Junior Brother Wang curled his lips. Seeing his usually arrogant senior brother looking as if the sky was falling, he suddenly felt a sense of relief. "Most people who have read that secret book can guess something."

"But all the Lin family members are dead. If you want to know more, it's useless to ask us."

He grinned, revealing his viciousness, and said sharply, "You should torture the sect leader. He will know more."

"He is your master after all," Yu Changqing felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

"Master, that's because we're still valuable enough to be exploited." Knowing he couldn't escape, he threw in the towel, spilling everything he should and shouldn't say. "Those who are worthless and selfish will only end up like him, stripped of everything and turned into the same kind of trash!"

"If you hadn't found him..."

"If we hadn't found him, you would have died much more quietly," Fan Ning smiled, not commenting on his grudges. "Do you really think everything you've done is perfect? ​​Doesn't the teleportation formation down there explain something?"

Junior Brother Wang suddenly reacted and grabbed the collar of the person next to him like crazy.

"You didn't arrange that?!"

"..." The brother whose neck was pinched brushed away the help of the younger sister beside him and finally smiled. "I've become a useless person. How can I still do any formation?"

"you--"

Yu Changqing slammed the man's sword sheath to the ground and said coldly, "Stay still!"

"Ahem, ahem... I want you all... to die together!" The senior brother, whose anger had already been exhausted, spoke in a weak voice.

Seeing this, Jiang Biehe threw a pill into the man's mouth.

Fan Ning asked him, "Are you doing this out of selfish motives?"

Her eyes fell on the sobbing junior sister beside her, but before she could call out her name, she was forcibly stopped by the other party.

"Selfish?...I just feel disgusted."

The disciple's uniform on his body was tattered, and the token on his waist that he had once carefully protected was broken off at several corners, and only a few messy strokes could be vaguely seen.

"Zhao Que," Fan Ning pronounced his name and looked into those eyes, feeling as if he had been pricked by a hedgehog that had lost all power to resist.

"Someone found me and said—"

A mouthful of black blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"It's a contract," Yu Changqing was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to step forward, he sensed some restriction and could only watch him exhaust his last bit of breath.

"...I never had the chance to choose..."

"Brother!!!"

"I said something I shouldn't have said, and the person is gone," Ling You shook his head, unable to explain what feeling he had.

The pool of blood fell to the ground. Zhao Que opened his eyes wide and stared at the empty sky from beginning to end.

The junior sister kneeling beside him was heartbroken.

"Is this...his ending?" Fu Yao also had mixed feelings. It wasn't that she felt sorry for him, but more of a sadness of watching a life come to an end.

"He was not going to survive in the first place," Jiang Biehe said coldly, reminding him, "Dying by violating the Heavenly Dao Contract is the path he chose."
