"Daddy, what is soul-stirring? Why do you have to use the puppet technique to control it?"

Many years ago, when Hua Ruo was young, she once asked her father this question.

Her father scolded her angrily.

"What do children ask this for?"

The young Hua Ruo didn't understand very much. Although her father was engaged in the work of these forbidden arts, she was not allowed to ask these things. He always ran to the leader every day and threw her to the wet nurse.

It was really just curiosity at first.

She wants to get her father's attention.

Little kids always do that.

Being so obsessed with the Forbidden Art of Heaven, Hua Ruo often thought that maybe it was because she felt that this was the only way to get some attention from her father.

But then it got out of hand.

Hua Ruo knew that her father didn't want her to touch these things, so she sent her to study with a regular teacher, but she knew that these were not things she wanted to study.

She never thought that one day she would be able to control these forbidden techniques.

Father would not be proud of her.

She hadn't asked her father what would happen if someone who had mastered the art of insanity manipulated the puppet art, but now she had finally seen it.

"I understand...it's so painful, it's so painful that people just want to commit suicide."

She looked at Lin Zihe with deep malice.

Gathering the internal strength of both hands, he slapped him. Lin Zihe quickly dodged in front of him, and saw Hua Ruo slowly raised his hand, and countless black air emanated from her body.

"Let's all fight." She said lightly: "Cannibalism..."

Chu Rui was stunned for a moment, and a voice came from Zixi's mind next to him. His sanity disappeared in an instant, and he began to gather internal strength in his hands, and a row of sword intents had already quickly slashed towards Lin Zihe.

Lin Zihe quickly stopped him with the sword in his hand.

The sword light is majestic.

The noise outside was approaching, Hua Ruo showed an evil smile, raised her hand, and a cloud of black air enveloped the entire altar, Chu Rui turned around and saw countless Xiaoyao Sword Sect disciples running in, the sword intent in his hand They all shot towards the woods and then started fighting with each other.

Hua Ruo has lost control.

Quickly dodging their attacks with sharp eyes and hands, Chu Rui watched Hua Ruo screaming as she was on the verge of collapse, and a burst of sword intent flew towards her behind her.

"Chu Ruirui, get out of the way!"

Seeing the instant sword intent clearly, Zixi was startled, the sound in her head was cut off, she screamed for no reason, and rushed over without thinking.

The right eyelid twitched, and Chu Rui looked at the row of sword intents attacking him, his eyes turned cold.

In the blink of an eye, Zixi only saw Chu Rui gather all his internal energy to attack him, his body was slightly pushed and fell several meters away, and hit the pillar of fire.

A burning pain in the back.

Zixi raised her eyes to look in Chu Rui's direction with difficulty, and her eyes gradually became bloodshot.

Hua Ruo covered her face, and the black energy on her body kept flowing around. She raised her head and looked at the group of people killing each other in front of her, and let out bursts of ear-piercing screams.

"Linzi and...you go...to die———————"

Seeing this scene, Chu Rui quickly got up and covered the wound on his chest. Fortunately, he didn't hurt his vitals, but he also lost a lot of blood. He hurriedly adjusted his breath with luck, and when he turned around, he saw that Zixi had raised the Shuixiu Sword at some point Zhao Huaruo walked over slowly.

Instigating...

Seeing the murderous look in his eyes, Chu Rui hurried over and grabbed his arm: "Zi Xi, wake up!"

The people around him turned to look at him and smiled gently.

"Dare to hurt Chu Ruirui, she...is definitely tired of working." Zixi raised her eyebrows, and was about to walk over swaggeringly with the sword on her shoulders.

Chu Rui blinked, so he wasn't charged with God?

Didn't it mean that the puppet technique can better control the dementor in the body?

"Wait, Zixi, Lin Zihe over there...you can't hurt Xiaoyao's disciple, let alone let her kill Lin Zihe."

Otherwise, wouldn't their charges be confirmed?

He couldn't let people in the world use Zixi to say that he was with Tianyin.

Zixi nodded knowingly.

His husband... so smart and virtuous.

Thinking of this, Zixi unconsciously smiled.

"This way... I'll deal with this girl, and you go and keep an eye on that Lin Zihe." Zixi's voice was still hoarse, and Chu Rui couldn't hear it very clearly, so he bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead, and was taken aback for a moment.

Seeing Chu Rui's stunned expression, Zixi was in a good mood.

Immediately, the hoarse voice was no longer a hindrance.

Over there Lin Zihe was wrestling with a group of disciples, Hua Ruo saw clearly that his moves were really fierce, frowned, and a cloud of black energy attacked him.

Lin Zihe was flashing the sword intent of disciple Xiaoyao's attack, and was hit by her unexpectedly, and flew out.

Hua Ruo burst into laughter.

"High Priest." Zi Xi shook the sword intent in his hand, gritted his teeth, "Should it stop?"

"Mo Zixi?" Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Hua Ruo's tone was unabashedly surprised: "What? You..."

How could he not be charged with God?

What's wrong?Is her puppetry not strong enough?

Hua Ruo was muttering something in his mouth, and suddenly showed a weird smile.

"So that's how it is...so that's how it is..." She laughed and said, "I always thought that the puppet technique couldn't be solved, but I was wrong..."

It turns out that puppetry is solvable.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zixi's eyes turned cold, and holding the Shuixiu sword, a row of sword intents attacked her, and Hua Ruo gathered her internal strength to touch his attack.

There was a huge impact sound, and the sword intent hit the ground one after another and made a lot of noise. In the end, Zi Xi was no match for Hua Ruo, who had lost control, and was directly knocked away by her blow, and fell to the ground not far away.

With the smell of blood coming from her mouth, Zixi spat out a mouthful of blood angrily.

"Haha...why do you want to prevent me from killing Lin Zihe?" Hua Ruo's eyes were dull for a while, then she was suddenly taken aback.

The feeling of the sword stabbing into the back...

The pain behind her gradually spread, she turned her head stiffly to look at Qin Zihuan who stabbed the dagger into her back, her eyes gradually lost focus, and the black air on the altar became thicker.

Qin Zihuan let go of the handle of the knife, and fell backwards on the ground.

In the last moment of his life, he actually used all his strength to stab her with a dagger.

Thinking of the self who wished her to live as innocent as before, I just thought it was really ridiculous.

"Stop it...Hua Ruo, don't hurt yourself anymore..." he said.

The soul-hunting technique and the puppet technique are used intertwined, and your body will definitely not be able to withstand the explosion in the end.

Hua Ruo froze there, stretched out her hand to stab the dagger on her back, as if she couldn't feel the tingling pain coming from behind, she stuffed the dagger into Qin Zihuan's hand, and asked him in a trembling tone: "Why...what? "

why stop me?

Why should I not hurt myself?

"Didn't you say you didn't know me?" she said.

Don't you want me to live innocently without knowing anything and be tricked by Lin Zihe?

Didn't the father who assisted Lin Zi and killed me make me into this amnesiac look?

Didn't you never regard me as a friend?

"You said we didn't know each other?" She emphasized again.

The sound of fighting behind them continued, but Hua Ruo could no longer hear the sound of their killing each other. She focused on Qin Zihuan, the dagger in her hand was trembling.

"You...do you want to kill me that much?"

Just like when you drove my father to death.

"Then you kill..." she said.

Qin Zihuan couldn't hear her words for a long time, but smiled.

It was as if I saw myself who was ignorant when I was young playing happily with a group of brothers and sisters on Wangjun Mountain, saw the master's kind smile, and saw myself swimming with Mo Zixi in the rivers and lakes.

Those wonderful times will never come back.

If there was no time for Tianyin, wouldn't it be better for me to die at the beginning?

Turning his head away, Qin Zihuan saw Mo Zixi standing in the distance.

When he was about to die, he realized that he didn't really hate Mo Zixi very much. After all, Lin Zihe did all these things...

What's the use of knowing this when you're dying.

"Senior brother."

"Why?" The young man frowned impatiently.

Mo Zixi smiled embarrassedly: "Is life more important than face?"

Now he would answer, naturally... life is important.

Qin Zihuan smiled: "If I hadn't defeated the Hundred Finger Demon Lord...would I still be that little junior brother of Wangjun Mountain who doesn't understand the world?"

That innocent young man who said Wangjunshan was good, and said that Wangjunshan was a group of good people.

However, in this world, there is no if.

He struggled to open his eyes to see Hua Ruo clearly, but his eyelids were still too heavy.

"Is it bad to be naive?" He wanted to ask.

"Don't you understand better than anyone else?" She would definitely answer like this.

That being the case, let this life be over.

As if... never met you.

Qin Zihuan loosened his fingers holding the dagger and fell to the ground.

Hua Ruo looked at his slowly closing eyes, was dumb for a while, let out a mocking laugh, and fell down.

The black air gradually dissipated.

Chu Rui hurried over to check on Zixi's injury, and stretched out his hand to touch his acupuncture points. Zixi felt the blood all over his body tense up, and glanced at him.

"You're injured, you have to stop the bleeding, otherwise you'll feel even worse." He explained calmly, "Although...you may feel uncomfortable if you're sealed."

Hearing this, Zixi really felt her feet go limp for a while, and put her arm around his waist: "Then I can't get up, help me."

The people around me froze.

In the distance, Hua Ruo and Qin Zihuan seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

A group of Xiaoyao disciples quickly gathered around, Zixi and Chu Rui just maintained the posture just now, their faces changed, and they faltered: "Mo Zixi...you...you...what are you doing?"

"Hug." Zixi pretended to be stupid again: "Do you want to hug too?"

Several people were taken aback for a moment, and their faces turned blue.

"Okay, stop talking." Chu Rui patted him on the back, and saw Lin Zihe wounded walking slowly through the crowd to them, and several Xiaoyao disciples hurriedly cupped their hands.

"Master, I offended you just now, how offended!"

Lin Zihe waved his hand, pointing to Hua Ruo behind him: "Take that girl away."

"Master?"

"The remnants of the Tianyin Sect." Lin Zihe said flatly, "Take them back to extort a confession."

Several people were all taken aback.

Shen Changyi, the Great Elder of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect who walked in at some time, heard Lin Zihe's instructions, and quickly echoed: "The head tells you to go, why do you ask so many questions?"

"But……"

"There's more." Lin Zihe glanced at Zixi: "Junior Brother Zixi...have to be taken back for trial."

Chu Rui quickly shielded Zixi behind him, gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Master Lin, as I said, Zixi will not go back to the Xiaoyao Sword Sect with you." His eyes turned cold: "You were also seriously injured, and you wanted to pass on the blood to pass on the high priest of Tianyin when you took him back home?"

Is that so?

Looking at Lin Zihe, Zixi suddenly showed a playful expression, and instructed the elders beside him to draw out the sword from his waist, and pointed the sword at Chu Rui's eyes.

Chu Rui looked up at them without fear.

"Yes, we were all seriously injured." Lin Zihe said with a smile: "If you don't want Master Chu to get hurt, just go back obediently with me...Of course, I will bring you back together...I've changed my mind."

It would be too wasteful to kill Chu Rui now.

"He can make you use me." Lin Zihe smiled: "If I had realized this earlier, I wouldn't have to suffer so much."

Zixi looked at him without smiling at all.

"I hate it most when people use Chu Rui to threaten me. Didn't I tell you?" He said coldly.

"Really?" Lin Zihe took the sword from the elder's hand, and pressed it against Chu Rui's throat, and a conspicuous red mark appeared on his neck in a blink of an eye.

A drop of blood slowly flowed down his white neck.

Zixi's heart trembled, she clenched her fist, and raised her hand to grab the point of his sword.

"Isn't it just to go to the Xiaoyao Sword School?" Ignoring Chu Rui's unwillingness to give in, Zixi pushed the sword back without feeling the pain in her hand, raised her eyebrows, and said word by word: "Master, I Just follow, you, back, go."

Chu Rui didn't resist, he knew that this was the best way to compromise.

only……

After all, he didn't like Zixi returning to that place.
