Chapter 635: Willing to Protect the Common People with My Remaining Body (Part )
Zhenren Xuanyuan could see clearly the mockery on the saint's face. In a trance, he seemed to see another person from thousands of years ago through the saint.
Her voice was light and her face was calm, but she could tell him...
Words like "I am willing to sacrifice my remaining body to protect the common people."
The mockery she expressed at the injustice of the world at that time was not much different from the expression on the saint's face today.
But it’s still different after all… It’s different… This declining Zhongzhou is no longer worthy of having another Qingxiao Zhenren…
There was a crisp "click" sound, and Master Xuanyuan was shocked. He reached into his arms and tremblingly took out a jade pendant with Nine Heavens Cloud Pattern.
The jade pendant had already cracked into fine lines. It was unknown whether it was caused by the impact during the fight with the saint or for some other reason.
The jade is shattered...the thoughts are destroyed...just like everything can never go back to the way it was before.
This was the first time in thousands of years that Zhenren Xuanyuan shed tears of sorrow. He looked at the saint standing in the distance with a mocking smile on her face, as if he was in another world.
Xuan Yuan had never realized so clearly that he was old, so old that he could not change anything...
The scenes from the past seemed to be vivid in front of his eyes. Xuanyuan thought about how he had first taken the position of the sect leader a thousand years ago and, against all odds, changed the sect's name to "Qingxiao". No one knew that the jade pendant engraved with the oath was being tightly grasped in his hand hidden under his wide sleeves.
The marks on the exquisite and transparent jade pendant are clear and deep, just like Qingxiao's stubborn look thousands of years ago.
"Then I am willing to use my remaining body to protect the path of all living beings!"
This is the response of the young man with his blood still boiling in his chest.
Qing Xiao rarely smiled and ruffled the boy's hair with his hand. "Very good momentum, then I wish you..."
"The journey is smooth, don't make it too hard."
Xuan Yuan's tears fell violently, just like the moment he confirmed Qing Xiao was dead thousands of years ago.
How can it not be hard! How can it not be hard? !
Going against the trend is bound to be difficult at every step.
But it was precisely when the life became increasingly difficult and unsustainable that Xuanyuan finally understood what kind of determination and courage Qingxiao had possessed thousands of years ago, which enabled him to break out of the encirclement of the aristocratic clans.
"Stop it." Xuanyuan's eyes were cold, his sorrow and grief were all covered by the vicissitudes of life. He waved his sleeves to shatter the three heavenly thunder talismans that attacked the saint. This action made the three high-level cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage behind him look puzzled.
"The real person has softened his heart?"
Before Xuanyuan Zhenren could answer, the elder of Cangjian Sect sneered and made a gesture, and the spiritual energy around him suddenly surged, "To these enemies of the Great Dao, you are always so soft-hearted... and always say the same thing..."
"Stop?" The elder of the Cangjian Sect shouted sternly, "There is no room for stopping now!"
"Now that female devil wants to kill us all!"
Taoist Xuanyuan moved his lips. He wanted to say something, to open his mouth... If all the remnants of the old world died, could they really create a bright future for the younger generations?
The world is rotten. Can these old guys really come up with any other solution except to tear it down and start over? Maybe...
Maybe the Saint is really right...
"Master, why don't you speak?!" The voice of the elder of Cangjian Sect was as violent as thunder.
Taoist Ruwei stepped down on the clouds, her pretty face turned cold, "Brother, you have already wavered."
"Ridiculous! Master, you are the leader of the righteous path! You are the role model of the entire host alliance! How can you be bewitched by a few words from that female devil?!"
The saint suddenly chuckled, her slender hands were like blooming pure white flowers, and the three heavenly thunder talismans that should have strangled her created a dreamlike scene around Master Xuanyuan.
The glittering spiritual stones piled up into mountains.
The saint girl smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, is this the private vault of the seven major sects?" She continued regardless of everyone's surprise.
"Thank you for broadening my horizons. It turns out that spirit stones are..."
“It will rot, too.”
As the Saint's voice fell, Su Bai's hand gently pushed aside the flowing light, and the appearance of the private vaults of the seven major sects was projected onto the sky. It was just as the Saint said - inside the brilliant and colorful space, mountains of spirit stones were rotting, and at the same time, the foot of the mountain of the seven major sects was crowded with independent cultivators queuing up to receive spirit stones and spiritual herbs.
The spirit stones of the seven major sects seem to be endless, and the waiting of these independent cultivators seems to be endless as well.
"These people are just independent cultivators! They are not disciples of our sect. Why should we be so kind to them?!"
The Saint tilted her head slightly and said playfully, "That makes sense. No one has to be so kind."
After she finished speaking, she smiled brightly and crushed the head of the elder of the Cangjian Sect into a puddle of mud.
White, pink and red brain matter splattered onto the bodies and faces of the people around them, but they couldn't even utter a scream of fear. The extreme fear made them completely lose control of their bodies.
The Saint said in a gentle voice: "Is there anyone else who wants to reason with me?" The Demon Lord shook his head and said gently: "Be more restrained."
The Saint was unmoved, "If no one provokes me, I will naturally restrain myself."
"Witch... Witch!" Ruwei was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Stop telling lies to confuse people!"
"Brother, wake up and don't be bewitched by this witch again!"
"Oh my~" The Saint seemed to be in a playful mood, "Are you really that scared?"
"No one wants to know how I saw your lair?"
The martial arts arena was in complete silence. At this point, everyone had the same thoughts:
They would not find anything the saint did incredible.
The very existence of the Saint is extremely incredible.
Seeing no one responded, the Saint blinked and said, "That's right, it's not fun to say it out loud."
As the last syllable fell, she looked at Luo Jinghua meaningfully.
No one noticed that Luo Jinghua was shocked. Could it be that he...he had exposed the secrets of the seven major sects to the Saint Girl...
Luo Jinghua thought about every night when the goddess came into his dreams. He was infatuated with the image of the goddess in the mirror, but the goddess never responded.
Now that he thought about it, it wasn't just that there was no response, the Saint... Luo Jinghua's eyelashes trembled, the Saint was just using him...
Yes, between him and the Saint, the King of Xiang has always been interested in the relationship, but the Saint is ruthless.
Ruwei still did not give up on "awakening" Master Xuanyuan. In her opinion, Master Xuanyuan was just temporarily bewitched by the words of the saint. As long as he wakes up, he will definitely stand on the side of righteousness and justice and join everyone in dealing with the saint.
"The right path?" The Saint said with a smile, "At this point, you still think you are the right path?"
"Even Xuanyuan has come to his senses, so why are you so confused?"
The figure of the saint flashed in front of Master Xuanyuan like a ghost.
She took the cloud-patterned jade pendant from his hand. This thing... had been on her mind since just now.
The Saint Lady ignored the anger of Taoist Ruwei and said calmly, "Not only did your Master waver, he wavered many times."
Su Bai's fingertips slid across the cracks in the cloud-patterned jade pendant. At the same time, several points of spiritual light overflowed from Xuan Yuan Zhenren's spiritual platform. Every pattern on the jade pendant reflected the past scenes:
Xuan Yuan Zhenren tried to revise the laws of the seven major sects regarding accepting small sects of independent cultivators, but was rejected by the heads and clan leaders of other sects before he even started...
Xuan Yuan Zhenren even privately opened a cave to help independent cultivators with damaged meridians and ordinary cultivators...
……
Seeing all these things, even the Saint was a little surprised.
She had explored the details of the seven major sects through the water mirror connected to Luo Jinghua, and had a rough understanding of the character of Xuanyuan Zhenren.
She knew that Xuanyuan was a rare "person" among the seven major sects where there were a lot of bastards, but she still didn't expect that Master Xuanyuan could do this.
Different from the dead silence caused by fear before, what spread across the training ground at this moment was an indescribable silence.
The aristocratic sects and the small independent sects were all silent.
The images that Ran Ran saw through Shen Yanwen's trembling spiritual platform seemed to overlap with certain scenes in modern society:
Even though times have changed, many things have remained the same.
Every era has bad people, those termites, rats, vampires; likewise, every era has good people, those who are bright, shining, and beautiful.
Those spines that would rather break than bend.
What Xuanyuan Zhenren did was definitely not the former, nor was it the latter in an absolute sense; he was somewhere in between the two.
Even so, it was enough to impress so many people present with his noble character.
The changes of the times are something that one person cannot bear.
So the spine of Xuan Yuan Zhenren, which was originally never bent...
Still bent...
A man, just as the saint said about him.
He is alone.
