Chapter 157 The Demon Lord's Decision
The young demon lord in the picture looked determined, so he stabbed a sword into the back of the Taoist Xuannv.
Outside the scene, a huge wave was stirred up!
"Oh my god! What is the Demon Lord doing? He...he backstabbed Mu Xinlan!?"
"No! To be exact! He is killing his master! Mu Xinlan and Mu Xinyan are two souls in one body!"
"First, there was the evil pharmacist, then there was Mu Xinyan! It's a double win! This is so filial!"
"No! There is definitely something missing here! You have to know that in the previous scenes, the relationship between the Demon Lord and Mu Xinlan has gradually eased!"
"What's wrong with that? Demon Lord Qingling has always been like this. He can kill anything for his own benefit! The so-called Immortal Lord of Great Love is just a nickname you gave him out of your own will!"
"I don't accept it! I absolutely don't accept this plot!"
at the same time.
In the VIP seats in the lobby on the first floor.
Han Jinniang also looked bleak and lonely: "Bad man, I thought you were a romantic person at heart, but I didn't expect that you have always been the same. You have never changed and will not change because of other people's kindness."
"So, what about you to me?"
"Ever since that strange encounter between you and me that night at Zhaixing Tower, I, Yun Jin'er, have been completely devoted to you and cared about you in every way. Do you have any real feelings for me because of this?"
"Besides Hua Yuerong, which other woman in this world would be lucky enough to be the exception?"
As she thought about it, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Look back towards the door.
The absent man did not show up.
However, she did see an extremely familiar figure!
"Ren Qianfan, stop right there!"
Han Jinniang suddenly pushed through the crowd and rushed over.
"Aunt!"
Ye Hongyi sensed something and followed.
Inside the Sixiang Palace.
"Sister, why did Master do this?"
Cen Xing'er looked at the senior sister beside her, "Although Saint Mu is a little annoying, they are now in the same boat, right? Why do we have to take action now? Xing'er always feels that Master has done a little bit too much..."
Feng Lixue shook her head and said, "Xing'er, we have been through so much. If we still doubt the integrity and kindness in our Master's bones, then we are truly hopeless."
"Do you understand what Senior Sister means?" She stroked her junior sister's face softly.
"Yeah! Xing'er understands!"
In an instant, the confusion in Cen Xing'er's eyes disappeared, and she clenched her fist firmly: "Master must have a deep meaning for doing this! It must be like this!"
"That's exactly what's going on."
Feng Lixue also looked at the picture in the sky with a determined gaze: "So, keep watching. Something must have happened to our Master at that time!"
In the dome-shaped sword storage room not far from the two beauties of Youluo Palace.
Mu Xinlan's eyes became red and wet as she saw that year's heartbreaking and desperate scene.
"Bai Qingling, do you know that the sword you stabbed me in the back is the most unforgettable thing in my long life of nine lifetimes?"
"It really hurts."
"Um."
Bai Feng nodded, looked at the other person's sad face, and wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
"Shouldn't you say something? Like, a formal apology?"
"Why should I apologize?"
Bai Feng shook his head, closed his eyes, and said meaningfully: "People with great love don't need to apologize to anyone."
"Could it be that you had other difficulties at that moment?"
Mu Xinlan gritted her teeth but couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you starting to waver?"
Bai Feng asked back calmly.
"I"
Mu Xinlan was dazed for a second, and then she gritted her teeth and said with determination: "I didn't! After a hundred years, I still remember the pain of that sword! Your shameful and hateful face is reflected in my mind; how could I waver!"
"If I could travel back to that time, I would ignore Mu Xinyan's instructions and chop you into pieces with one sword! I will contribute to the righteousness of the world!"
"You know what! I had already made up my mind at that time; even if it meant my death, I would make your escape from Danghun Mountain! And you, an ungrateful wolf, actually stabbed me in the back just to save your life! Are you worthy of me and that woman, Mu Xinyan!"
"Bai Qingling! You..."
"You really deserve to die!!!"
At the end of the conversation, the Taoist Xuannv's eyes were bloodshot. She was hysterical and completely out of control. She had lost all her composure, not even the aloof and cold demeanor of the goddess she used to be!
"Good scolding."
Bai Feng said calmly: "Saint Mu, please remember your current emotions."
"After reading the cause and effect of this memory, I hope you can still maintain your murderous intention and never waver."
"Again."
"The true Immortal of Great Love will never disappoint anyone in this world."
Mu Xinlan:
Just as everyone was sighing in disbelief.
The memory picture on the sky curtain changed again!
But this time, the scene in the picture seemed to be traveling through a time tunnel, constantly retreating!
In a moment.
The memory actually regressed to the scene before the young man stabbed Mu Xinlan in the back!
"Hey! I told you! Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary! There must be a story behind this!"
"So thoughtful! He knew we couldn't understand it, but he even went back and slowed down the details!"
It is apparent that the changes that occurred before the Demon Lord's "betrayal" will be revealed next.
Everyone sat upright, afraid of missing any details!
They were still on the empty cliff at the top of the mountain.
The young man was covered in blood, dancing wildly with the sword in his hand. The sharp sword energy whizzed out and condensed into a sword wave like a long dragon in the void!
The sword wave was so powerful that it blocked the thunderbolts falling from the sky!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
It was as if God was angry.
More and more dense lightning beams bombarded down!
As the sword wave was suppressed to a few inches, the boy also suffered some horrible backlash; his whole body shook violently, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
Behind him, the woman in white was sitting cross-legged in meditation with a mysterious and vast Taoist charm intertwined all over her body.
"Qing Ling!"
As if sensing something, the woman in white suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the young man guarding in front of her with a worried look, "Can you still hold on!"
"Don't worry, uncle. I can handle it!"
In desperation, the young man shouted, spat out a mouthful of blood, activated the sword technique, and stabbed forward with all his strength!
He unexpectedly once again used the terrifying sword energy to split the lightning beam in front of him!
With the young man's sword light, it stretched to the extreme.
The next moment.
Above the night sky, the dark clouds dispersed, the stars and the moon emerged, and everything seemed to have returned to its clear and bright state.
"Uncle Master! Look!"
"Qing Ling succeeded again! It seems like he has survived the thunder tribulation!"
The young man cried with joy, not caring that he was covered in blood, and rushed excitedly to the woman in white.
"Yes, you succeeded."
"The Immortal-Slaying Seven Absolute Formation is so powerful and fierce, yet a young man like you can break through the four great calamities in a row."
"It's incredible."
Mu Xinlan sighed with emotion, looking solemnly at the young man in front of him who was covered in wounds but still full of fighting spirit, "I am very proud of you. I believe that if your master saw your heroic deeds today, he would also be happy for you."
"Master."
Hearing the other party mention his master, the young man's heroic and resolute face turned a little sad. He lowered his head and asked with red eyes: "Is it really possible for Master to come back?"
"You really want her back?"
Mu Xinlan asked.
"Of course! I think about it all the time! Qing Ling's long-cherished wish for the rest of his life is to be reunited with her!"
The young man said word by word.
"You are a thoughtful boy. It's no wonder that woman fell in love with you."
Mu Xinlan sighed softly, lowered her head, remained silent for a long time, and then asked in a very low voice: "What if I disappear? Will you come to find your uncle?"
"ah?"
The young man was slightly startled as if he had not expected the other party to ask this question.
"No, I was just joking with you. Just pretend I didn't ask."
Mu Xinlan said something quickly, then lowered her head and remained silent.
The young man was keenly aware of the other party's changes and said, "Uncle Master, after spending the past few days with you through thick and thin, especially after you generously taught me your skills, Qing Ling suddenly felt that the feelings I had for you had changed a lot."
"oh?"
Mu Xinlan raised her head and asked, "Tell me in detail."
"Ah, Qing Ling can't say it specifically; I just feel..."
The young man thought momentarily and said, "Master Uncle no longer gives me the same intense feeling of oppression as when we first met. Sometimes, there is even a little bit of it."
"what else?"
Mu Xinlan's beautiful eyes flashed, and she blurted out.
As soon as she said this, perhaps realizing that she had lost her composure, she quickly sat up straight and said coldly, "You might as well make your words clearer. I hate people who waste their words the most in my life."
"good."
Bai Qingling smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "Qingling thinks Master Uncle is somewhat cute; it's really the kind that is rarely seen. In short, putting aside the Taoist Xuannv's halo, you are a charming and extraordinary woman."
"Wait a minute!"
Mu Xinlan blushed and spread her hands: "What did you just say? You said I'm cute?"
"Yes."
Bai Qingling added: "But it's only for a few moments now and then. Usually, Master is still a very cold and serious woman."
"Humph, you slandered my cuteness, but what do you mean by occasional moments? Could it be that I can change my expression?"
Mu Xinlan was extremely angry. After being sulky for a while, she couldn't help but say, "Well, let me ask you!"
"In that so-called 'occasional moment,' as a woman, I and your master..."
"Who's cuter?"
"Ah? Ah? Ah?"
Hearing the high and mighty Taoist leader asking a junior like him this question, the young man sighed three times in succession and didn't know how to respond!
On the top of the mountain, under the moonlight.
The two looked at each other in silence.
Finally, Mu Xinlan broke the silence:
"It's really emotional."
"I also met you here for the first time a month ago. You hid under the cliff and fell into my magic sword at that time, but you still refused to admit it. I was furious at the time and just wanted to cut you into pieces. I didn't expect that today we would work together to overcome the disaster."
"Yes, life is full of surprises."
Bai Qingling smiled bitterly and said, "Qingling never thought that on the way to escape, he would meet a master who truly loves me and..."
At this point, he looked deeply at the stunning beauty before him, who looked very similar to his master: "Uncle Master, after a hundred years, can we not fight? Or..."
"Just for fun, let's discuss and show it to the world?"
"impossible."
When this was mentioned, Mu Xinlan closed her eyes and regained her solemn expression: "You are destined to be the Demon Lord, and I am the Saint who upholds the righteous path. You and I are destined to be incompatible."
"Well, that's really sad."
Bai Qingling smiled bitterly and said no more.
The two continued in silence.
It's just that the previously rare harmonious atmosphere has become heavy.
"Okay! Now that we are in a difficult situation let's get back to the topic."
Mu Xinlan cleared her throat and said, "Qing Ling, listen to me. It will take at least three days for Master Uncle to return to his previous life and purify the poison. Therefore, this also means that you still have to go through the next three disasters of wind, fire, and water."
"Can you really hold on?"
She looked at the boy with worry in her beautiful eyes.
"You have to hold on even if you can't."
The young man said with a determined look: "I, Bai Qingling, still have too many things to do in this life! I will never be willing to die in the hands of that dwarf in advance!"
"Absolutely not allowed!"
Looking at the fearless appearance of the young man.
Mu Xinlan's already solemn eyes turned even redder.
She stared at him for a long time and said in the most gentle tone of her life:
"Qing Ling, come here and stay closer to Uncle Master. I will help you check your injuries."
"good."
Without his previous wariness and doubt, the young man came to the side of the woman in white as he was told.
Examining the wounds on the boy's body that were pierced by the killing calamity of the formation, Mu Xinlan looked in pain, bit her lip, and sighed, "If you didn't have the regenerative power of your innate formless demon body, I'm afraid even a god wouldn't be able to save you from this level of injury."
"Hey, if Mu Xinyan saw you injured like this, I wonder how heartbroken she would be."
"It is my fault."
She spoke softly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's okay, Uncle Master."
The young man said calmly: "Qing Ling said what doesn't kill me will only make me stronger."
"I, Bai Qingling, will force my way through the next few killing calamities one by one!"
"No, the risk is too great."
"Then you have almost no hope of defeating all the remaining four tribulations."
"That's all."
As if she had made up her mind, Mu Xinlan said with a sad and determined look, "I swore to my sister that I would rescue you from Danghun Mountain at all costs. If you die in the next calamity, what's the point of me going out alone?"
"So, next, don't move here. Leave everything to me."
"No! Uncle Master, we can do it."
As if he had anticipated the other party's intention, the young man was excited and wanted to say something but was interrupted by the other party again:
"Bai Qingling, you don't need to say anything more. Just listen to me."
Mu Xinlan said with a stern face:
"My current Dao Mark Reincarnation is only halfway done."
"That is to say."
"At least half of the Love Flower Gu is still inside my body."
"But I have decided to fight to the death!"
"To be honest, I'm not sure if my physical strength is enough to support me in this situation and break through the barrier of the formation with all my strength."
"In other words."
"Whether you and I can get out alive this time depends on tonight, and the chance is only 50%."
"Half probability?" The young man frowned.
"Yes."
Mu Xinlan said: "If my power cannot break the barrier of the formation in one go, once the power is lost halfway, it will be backfired by this force. By then, the Demon Emperor and the masters around him will rush over, and even I, the number one person in the righteous way, will not be able to escape death."
"And when I die, you will also..."
At this point, her eyes became fiery and shining, and she stared at the young man before her: "Qing Ling, at this last moment, Uncle Master only wants to hear the truth."
Although she tried her best to calm down, her voice was choked with sobs:
"Today, Mu Xinlan, I am willing to give you, Bai Qingling, to face this deadly situation hand in hand. It will be a blessing if you can get a glimmer of hope. If you fail, you will die."
"I have no regrets either."
"And you?"
"I"
Bai Qingling pondered for a while and finally lowered his head as if he didn't dare to look directly into the other party's fiery eyes: "Uncle Master, can we not gamble?"
"No gambling?" Mu Xinlan frowned.
Bai Qingling said:
"Uncle Master doesn't know."
"Ever since I escaped the clutches of the evil medicine master who had entrusted me with enlightenment, I, Bai Qingling, have sworn to survive no matter what adversity I encounter. I will never gamble with my life unless it is absolutely necessary!"
Bai Qingling said: "So, if it is really, as Uncle Master said, there is only a 50% chance, then Qingling would rather believe that the sword in his hand can break up the remaining four killing disasters!"
"What's more, Qing Ling always believes that we can come up with other methods!"
"Another way?"
Mu Xinlan frowned and smiled bitterly: "Your so-called "other methods," your master Mu Xinyan, has already tested you, and you ruthlessly rejected her, didn't you?"
"ah."
The young man groaned softly and suddenly thought of something; his cheeks turned red: "Master, was she willing that day?"
"yes!"
Mu Xinlan gritted her teeth and said, "It has come to this! It just so happens that the woman is not here! I might as well say it out loud! She, Mu Xinyan, does have feelings beyond the relationship between master and disciple!"
After hearing this, the young man was shocked and leaned against a pile of stones beside him, remaining silent for a long time.
"Alright, Bai Qingling, I won't waste my words on you, you unfaithful little man."
Mu Xinlan narrowed her eyes and said in a cold tone: "I will ask you one last time! Are you willing to put aside your life and death and fight this round with me!"
"I don't want to."
Bai Qingling shook his head and said, "As Qingling said before, I still have too many things to do. I am unwilling to give up nor accept my fate, and I will not gamble."
"snort!"
Mu Xinlan looked a little angry and interrupted directly: "You are talking so much; you are afraid of death. I am destined to save the world, have great ambitions, and am willing to fight this last round with you! Even if we go to hell together, I will accept it! You are still unwilling, right?"
Perhaps it was because she was in a desperate situation and felt depressed; she became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she was completely desperate. "You know, if I were trapped here alone, no matter what killing formation the Demon Emperor used, he would not be able to do anything to me!"
"So what if I'm poisoned? I'll take ten days or half a month to rest and completely refine the poison. Then I can break through the array wall and escape without any risk!"
"The reason why I have no choice but to give it a try is because of you, little devil and burden! Do you understand?"
The boy listened quietly.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "So, even after these few days of getting along, in the eyes of the master, I am still that little devil, right?"
"I"
Seeing the young man's sad face, Mu Xinlan's expression froze, and his tone softened a bit: "I was just angry, so..."
"Why apologize, Saint Senior?"
The young Demon Lord Qing Ling said quietly, "I am willing. Tonight - let's give it a try!"
"Good! I was right about you!"
Mu Xinlan nodded, "Qing Ling, my Daohen Reincarnation Method is only one cycle away from completion. I want to trouble you to protect me for one last hour!"
"yes."
The scene changes rapidly.
Once again, we returned to the tragic scene that was captured at the beginning.
The young Demon Lord held the magic sword in his hand and pierced through the back of his uncle-master with one sword!
"Da da da."
Blood dripped down the sword!
At this moment, the whole audience was suffocated again!
Along with this powerful visual impact, there is also the weeping sound of the magic sword!
"Why?"
In the picture, the Taoist Xuannv turned her pale face, and her beautiful eyes were filled with complex emotions such as despair, resentment, confusion, and regret!
"Didn't you say so?"
"Qing Ling is a demon."
"And the devil, in order to survive, will do anything."
The young man spoke with a cold gaze, thrust his sword forward, and pushed the sword's tip through the saint's abdomen with even more force!
The whole process!
Cruel!
Ruthless!
Determined!
He simply did it to the extreme!
Worthy of being a demon!
He has always been the heartless and ruthless supreme devil from the beginning to the end!
Just as everyone outside the venue was exclaiming, shocked, and unable to accept it.
In the screen.
The boy once again did something against the will of heaven that no one expected!
