Chapter 144 Memory of the Sword

Chapter 144 Memory of the Sword

With the boundless sword rhythm, it enveloped the entire holy land of the Hehuan Sect.

The picture in the center of the sky is gradually taking shape.

In the center of the picture, a woman in white clothes whiter than snow and with a flawless appearance suddenly appeared!

At this moment, she was standing on a mountain, holding a dazzling sword in one hand, which was as blue as if made of sapphire. Her beautiful eyes looked down the mountain with cold eyes.

Under the night breeze.

Her dress fluttered, revealing slender, white, straight legs resembling jade in human form under the moonlight.

Right now.

Looking at this sudden change.

The heroes of the East in the Paradise Palace were once again in extreme shock!

"Wow! There is such a stunning beauty in the world! I can't hold back, brothers. I have to go to the bathroom!"

"My dear, please take a moment to savor this! Shouldn't the focus now be on the identity of this woman?"

"Bullshit! This is not important! What is important is the origin of this image in the sky! What is the purpose of the person who released the image!"

"I think this might be an entertainment program prepared by Sect Master Ji for us! The most beautiful young lady of the Hehuan Sect will be reflected in the sky so that we, the guests, can appreciate it! Who knows, there might be an exciting erotic dance soon~."

"Your statement is not true! It's still daytime here, but the space where the woman in white is located is already dark and windy!"

The demon cultivators talked to each other, but none of them could guess the reason.

At this moment, a sharp voice shouted out: "I know! I was fortunate enough to go to Cangming Sect and observe the trial of the Flame Demon Tower. I am familiar with this routine! This is likely someone's secret memory fragment! An expert has exposed it to the public through some means!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was even more shocked.

After a second of silence, someone immediately questioned, "Fellow Daoist, your words may seem to make sense, but they are actually untenable. Take a look at the angle from which we are viewing this scene. Don't you think it's a little strange? If it is someone's memory, shouldn't it be based on what they see with their own eyes?"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone thought it made sense.

Indeed.

From an outsider's perspective, looking at the woman in the picture, the entire angle is from bottom to top.

So much so that the first thing everyone saw was not the woman's face but her flawless pair of beautiful legs.

If this picture shows a secret memory, then who is the owner of the memory?

Could it be the flowers and plants on the ground?

Because the woman in the picture seemed like a sculpture, motionless for a long time.

Tens of thousands of magic masters were at the scene, their faces flushed with discussion; some even wanted to leap into the sky to discover what was happening!

At this moment, a cold and domineering female voice came, instantly stunning the whole audience:

"Everyone, keep quiet!"

Hearing this voice, everyone's hearts trembled, and then they all looked towards the hall on the first floor.

Sure enough, the tall and slender Queen Yin with charming curves was now sitting in the position of the leader of the Hehuan Sect with a stern look on her face.

Next to her stood a trembling, humble man with middle-parted hair, like a servant, Ji Taimei.

"Some of you are right in your guesses."

Xiao Qingmei cleared her throat and said, "The scene in the sky is indeed a memory, but..."

"But it's not a person's memory."

She said this.

The expressions on everyone's faces were even more confused and puzzled.

"With this queen here to take charge, you do not need to panic."

Xiao Qingmei looked calm, lowering her eyes and blowing on her tea. In a quiet voice, she said, "Since someone has presented us with a good show, we should be patient spectators and treat it as the entertainment of this Magic Conference, right?"

"That's what Queen Yin said!"

"That's right! Now that we are here, let's make the best of it and watch the show calmly!"

"That's right! Anyway, we have Queen Yin in charge! We are not afraid of anyone except Taoist Xuannu Mu Xinlan, who comes to mess things up!"

Seeing the calm statement of the Queen of the East, everyone agreed.

"The Queen of Yin."

Han Jinniang couldn't help but walk over and ask tentatively, "You know the woman in this picture, right?"

"yes."

Xiao Qingmei nodded and then looked at the younger beauty with some surprise: "How did you know?"

"Eyes can't lie."

Han Jinniang lowered her head and said, "But I am particularly good at observing beauty."

"Good of you, Han Jinniang. No wonder Xiao Qingling treated you so well along the way."

Xiao Qingmei waved her hand and said, "To tell you the truth, the woman in this picture is none other than..."

"Who is it?"

"Mu Xinlan."

As the Demon Queen's wife uttered the name lightly.

Han Jinniang's body trembled violently, her eyes widened, and she couldn't calm down for a long time!

It was at this moment.

Above the sky, in the center of the memory picture, the beautiful woman who seemed to be petrified and motionless finally made a move!

However,

her movements were extremely strange!

She was trembling all over, her pretty face twitching, cold sweat running down her forehead, and her spotless white clothes were stained with ink-like black at some point!

Not only that.

Behind her body, a shadow of a woman's soul appeared faintly!

At first glance, the woman in black looked exactly like the woman in white, but upon closer inspection, it was not difficult to tell.

The black-dressed woman's facial features are more heroic and three-dimensional, while the white-dressed woman's facial lines are more feminine and graceful!

At this moment, tens of thousands of people present had a common inference in their minds!

That is——

The relationship between these two women must be unusual!

At this moment, watching this bizarre scene, the discussion in the audience suddenly stopped.

Because the woman in white in the picture made an unexpected move!

She turned the sword around and stabbed it into her chest!

Swish!

The sword was as sharp as lightning.

The sword pierced through his abdomen with unparalleled swiftness!

Blood gushed out!

At the same time.

The souls of the woman in white and the woman in black behind her seemed to have been severely injured at the same time, and their expressions were extremely painful!

The next moment.

The body and soul fell heavily to the ground!

"Sister."

"Don't think I can't do anything to you!"

"You and I are born as one; we prosper together and perish together!"

"We agreed before that I will lead this battle, and you are not allowed to interfere! But now."

"Are you planning on breaking your promise?"

Even though blood was gushing out of her abdomen, the woman in white's expression was still cold and arrogant. She looked like a majestic goddess high above.

Needless to say, who she was questioning.

It was, of course, the spirit of the woman in black behind her!

The woman in black also looked furious and said sternly without giving in:

"Humph! You still have the nerve to say that!"

"The Seven Immortal Slaying Formation outside the Demon Emperor's Palace was designed by Chi You, the founder of the Demonic Path, after he spent his entire life on it. Its purpose was to protect his descendants and ensure they would be safe for eternity."

"You know better than anyone that with the strength of this newly revived ninth life, it can't withstand the backlash of the formation's restrictions!"

"But you just rushed in so impatiently!"

"If this isn't stupid of you, what is it?"

"The world respects you, Mu Xinlan, as the leader of the Taoist sect, the savior goddess, the best in the world, and omnipotent. Are you so proud of yourself?"

"Don't forget! This body of yours is half mine!"

"So, I can't just sit back and do nothing!"

When the woman in black finished speaking, her expression was filled with anger.

And at this moment.

The Eastern Demonic Path heroes who watched this memory scene were extremely shocked!

After all this time, what was playing in the sky was the number one enemy of the Demonic Path, which dominated the Eastern Land for thousands of years—the Taoist Mystic Mu Xinlan!

Her memory fragments will be released today at the once-in-a-century Magic Conference in the East!

There must be some big plot behind this!

"Oh my god! It's amazing! I saw Mu Xinlan's real photo in the main hall of Hehuan Sect!"

"This is outrageous! Who the hell did this immoral thing?"

"Who said she wasn't? I had been happily admiring the beauty before, but when I found out she was Mu Xinlan, she looked out of the screen. I was so scared that I almost peed myself!"

"Ahem, the Queen Mother Yin has already said not to panic! Everything has a reason! Don't get excited! Keep watching! You may discover some righteous secrets!"

"This gentleman is right! Mu Xinlan just mentioned the Demon Emperor. Could it be that this woman once sneaked into the East alone and assassinated the Demon Emperor?"

"No way! Mu Xinlan stepped into the border of the East Land during the two great wars between good and evil! I have never heard of this!"

"That's right! If Mu Xinlan had really gone to the Demon Emperor Palace back then, she might have had a fight with Queen Yin! It would have definitely caused a sensation throughout the East! There's no way we didn't know about it!"

For a moment, everyone was in panic.

They couldn't help but look towards the center of the first floor of the hall, at the domineering Queen of the East.

Then I saw that she was also looking at the picture in the sky, and her expression was calm.

Everyone was relieved.

"I know what you want to ask."

Xiao Qingmei glanced at Han Jinniang, who suddenly became extremely respectful and diligently served tea, and said, "Girl, you are too curious."

"this"

Han Jinniang looked embarrassed, "Empress Yin, I haven't even spoken yet."

"No need to speak."

Xiao Qingmei said: "Just as you said, eyes can't lie."

"At this moment, you not only want to ask Mu Xinlan about what happened in the past but also want to know whether this sudden memory scene is related to the absent man, right?"

This senior sister told me what was on my mind.

Madam Shura, who always displayed her calmness and dignity, blushed like a panicked little girl: "No, no. Ahem, forget it. As Queen Yin said, I want to know some inside information."

"Okay, I'll tell you later."

Xiao Qingmei took the tea offered by the other party, took a sip, and said seriously: "Actually, about this matter."

"The queen isn't here either."

"You, Queen Yin"

Han Jinniang was angry and helpless.

Just at this moment.

After a period of silent confrontation.

The woman in white in the picture struggled to stand up, sat cross-legged, and said sadly:

"Sister"

"Outsiders may not know, but you should know best, right?"

"Under the constraints of the laws of nature in this world, this life."

"This is my last reincarnation in this world."

"That is to say, when the two hundred years of life I have fought for in this life are up, even with the help of the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Coffin, my body will not be able to achieve Nirvana again."

"By then, my soul will no longer be able to stay in the human world. There will only be two paths before me."

"Ascend to heaven, or fall into the Great Primordial Realm, and never be able to be reborn."

After hearing this, the black-clothed woman's spirit also stopped for a few seconds, and then, with red eyes, she said: "I don't understand you, girl! What's wrong with ascending? Pursue a higher realm of life without worries, and never have to worry about these disputes in the world again!"

"It really can't work——"

"You and I will fall into the Broken Realm forever and be completely annihilated. We will die together and put an end to everything! That will be much better than worrying about this and that now!"

"To put it bluntly, who lives and dies between good and evil? What does it have to do with us sisters!? Everything is caused by the law of nature, so why not just let it go!"

The emotions that had been pent up for years finally erupted. The woman in black spoke hysterically, and illusory tears burst out of her eyes!

"Sister, you and I are twins, and our souls are closer than any sisters in this world, but..."

"Why don't you understand me?"

Mu Xinlan shook her head, her expression extremely sad, and her eyes reddened.

However, she was different from the woman in black whom she called "sister."

Her expression gradually changed from desolate to resolute, and she did not let the tears fall in the end.

"Sister, at this point, I don't expect you to understand what I'm doing."

"You only need to know one thing!"

"If we cannot uproot all the demons in the world and wipe them out, and wipe out those evil, dirty, brutal and perverse ways and sinister witchcraft from the world, and return peace and tranquility to the people of the world."

"Me! Mu Xinlan! Even if he ascended to the upper realm and became the Immortal Emperor or Empress, he would not be happy!"

"The evil path is evil by nature, which is wrong! The righteous path is always good at the end, which is right!"

"This is the eternal principle of the world! Therefore, everything I do is also to implement the will of heaven!"

"so."

"Make a decision today, sister."

Under the moonlight, the Taoist Xuannv raised a sad and beautiful face, raised the azure sword again, and said with determination:

"Will you retire peacefully and witness me eliminate the current Demon Emperor of the East and make contributions to the people of the world, or..."

"Go to hell with me and be completely annihilated?"

"Mu Xinlan! You have no respect for your parents! Are you threatening me?"

The black-clothed woman said angrily, "Mu Xinlan! Don't forget! Just now, you didn't listen to my advice and forcibly attacked the "Seven Deadly Immortal Slayer Formation." If it weren't for the power of the magic sword that accompanies my life soul, which helped you break through the formation and escape, you would have been completely annihilated now!"

"Have you not recognized yourself yet?"

"You, Mu Xinlan, are a genius! Your talent is even slightly better than mine!"

"But!"

"Without the help of my magic sword, your strength would have dropped by at least 30% to 40%! You are not worthy of the position of the leader of the Taoist sect at all!"

After hearing this.

The woman in white was stunned for a few seconds.

Then her beautiful face, which had remained calm and indifferent throughout, like that of a saint, showed a drastic change of expression for the first time!

That was——

The anger of the Taoist Xuannu made all living beings in the world and the demonic heroes tremble with fear!

So much so that even though

they knew it was just a memory scene, but the demonic heroes who were watching this memory scene still couldn't help but take a breath of cold air!

"Mu Xinyan! Listen carefully!"

"Even without this sword, I, Mu Xinlan, can still destroy the demons!"

"Get out of here!"

The woman in white frowned. Her beautiful eyes were cold, and she exuded a fierce aura that dominated the world as if she were an angry goddess!

The next moment!

Bang!

She raised her hand and threw the sword down the cliff resolutely!

At this moment, I don't know if the impact brought by the picture is too strong.

Mu Xinlan's action of throwing the sword made most people present tremble in their hearts, and they instinctively took a step back!

Listening attentively.

One could even hear the wailing of the sword spirit of the magic sword echoing faintly under the sky!

At the moment when everyone's mind was lost.

Above the sky, an unexpected scene appeared!

The magic sword fell only a few feet.

An agile figure that seemed to have been waiting for a long time jumped up from the cliff below and steadily took the azure magic sword into his palm!

Under the moonlight, the figure's owner was barely visible!

It was a——

A beautiful boy with ragged clothes, pale skin, and handsome features!

Seeing things take such a turn.

Inside the Paradise Palace, everyone once again cried out in unison:

"Oh my god! Who is this boy?!"

"This person has obtained Mu Xinlan's natal magic sword. His future fortune will be extraordinary!"

"That's right! A second person has appeared in this memory! Maybe this boy is the owner of this memory!"

Everyone was speculating.

Someone screamed:

"I recognized him! It's him! It's that man! There's no doubt about it! The young Demon Lord who was absent today—"

"Bai Qingling!"

One word comes out.

The whole audience was shocked and silent for a long time!

In the VIP seats in the first-floor hall.

Seeing his godfather from his youth appear again, Ye Hongyi, who had been sitting obediently in the chairman's seat of Cangming Sect, could no longer hold back and came to his aunt and Queen Yin, who was standing in front.

I saw two people talking.

"You can't imagine it, can you?"

Xiao Qingmei looked at Han Jinniang, who was emotion-provoking: "The guy you like, cough cough."

She quickly stopped talking and changed the subject: "Actually, I never expected this little Qing Ling, tsk tsk."

She just finished.

Suddenly, a sweet female voice came from behind her that she did not expect:

"Master!"

This voice is...

Xiao Qingmei was shocked and looked behind in the direction of the sound.

Then he saw a round-faced beauty with a bun, wearing a white skirt and a tall and plump figure, walking towards him with a smile!

It's Yuerong!

My good disciple Yuerong is someone I haven't seen for many years!

Xiao Qingmei was overjoyed and was about to open her arms to greet him.

Suddenly, she thought of something!

Her expression suddenly froze.

"Wooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Yuerong! Master is sorry for you!"

at the same time.

Inside the Sixiang Palace.

Bai Feng, sitting on the ground with a leisurely look on his face, glanced at the Taoist Mystic Female Soul above the dome with a dejected look, "Mu Xinlan, is this the result you wanted? To let all the heroes of the Demonic Path know that you are two souls in one body? To let them know that you, Mu Xinlan, are about to fall and your life will not last long? Tsk tsk, you... "

"He's a very nice person."

"Bai Qingling you."

"The memories sealed on the magic sword are not yours?"

Mu Xinlan gritted her teeth and looked hatefully at the evil, handsome man who had troubled her for a lifetime.

At this moment, she was extremely depressed and felt that she had never been so frustrated in her life!

"No, the magic sword contains my memories, but..."

"That part of the memory is carried by the memory of the sword spirit, so next..."

At this point, the look of a big winner on Bai Feng's face gradually faded, and his expression became solemn:

"You will also see some shocking and subversive images."

"Mu Xinlan, you think you understand me and control me, but——"

"There are many things you don't know."

Speaking of this, Demon Lord Qingling sighed softly, and in his handsome eyes, there was a trace of indelible sorrow!
