Chapter 530: Senior brother, close your eyes
There were thousands of types of cauldrons, but among them, the “Dual Cultivation Cauldron” was the most common and was well known to cultivators in the world.
Many cultivators from big families, due to various qualification deficiencies, would find a woman or man with good qualifications and excellent appearance, and use the complementary skills of yin and yang to cultivate the spiritual energy in them and make them their own.
Although a former Holy Emperor of the Immortal Family established an Immortal Rule thousands of years ago, explicitly prohibiting “Using humans as cauldrons”, this was still the easiest way for many cultivators with inherent defects to break through.
Therefore, even now, it was still common to snatch young girls to make cauldrons in the immortal family, but it was disguised and turned into forced marriage.
The same was true in the immortal family, and it was even more common in the demon cultivator room.
Gu Mingxin’s appearance was one of the best among demon cultivators. She was found by Yu Yan since she was a child, and when she was brought back to the Heavenly Demon Sect, she was targeted by many demon cultivator clans.
The Mei family of the Hehuan Sect, the Xuanyuan family of the Nether Bone Sect, and even the He family of the Heavenly Demon Sect…
Gu Mingxin, who was only a few years old at the time, in the eyes of many demon cultivators, was a cauldron that was rare to see in a thousand years. They all wanted to kidnap her before Yu Yan valued her and before she grew up.
Even He Buqun’s fourth son “He Mi” was ordered by He Buqun to abduct Gu Mingxin.
But everyone failed.
The Xuanyuan family was wiped out by a demon cultivators, and He Mi died after encountering a seventh-level evil beast…
And none of these were done by Gu Mingxin and Xue themselves.
Even Xue didn’t know that during the period when Gu Mingxin was brought to the Heavenly Demon Sect and when she formed a core at the age of fourteen and had the strength to protect himself, there was a person who had only a one-sided relationship with Gu Mingxin. Always staying in the dark where they couldn’t see.
This person was He Qingjiao.
The patriarch of the Xuanyuan clan fell in love with Gu Mingxin, so He Qingjiao turned into a casual cultivator and destroyed the Xuanyuan clan of the Nether Bone Sect…
He Mi was ordered by He Buqun to abduct Gu Mingxin, so He Qingjiao secretly summoned the seventh-level evil beast and sent her fourth brother into the evil beast’s mouth…
…
Boom–!!
Thousands of feet away, a flying boat of the Heavenly Demon Sect was pierced by Xiao Yunluo’s Heavenly Thunder, and crashed into the black forest below, exploding into a white light that made the dark day shine brightly.
This white light also illuminated the two people facing each other in front of a stone table next to the gravel.
He Qingjiao looked at Ye Anping who was ten feet away with calm eyes, but felt a strange sense of disobedience in his heart as if this person was not a person in the world, but more like a person from outside the world.
The spiritual sword in her hand turned slightly as if she was thinking of drawing the sword.
However, Ye Anping directly changed the “Bai Yue” in his hand to a reverse grip and put it behind his shoulder. Showing that he didn’t want to fight like her, he spread his left hand and just continued to ask:
“Miss He, why are you doing this? You have no loyalty to Yu Yan and no loyalty to Heavenly Demon Sect. Even if He Buqun is a dispensable person to you, then why should you stand opposite to Ye? Helping the Heavenly Demon Sect to make enemies of the Immortal Family?”
“…”
Seeing that she still didn’t speak, Ye Anping shrugged and said with a smile:
“Ah Gu, right? Speaking of which, for Ah Gu, you didn’t even hesitate to kill your own fourth brother?”
Hearing these words, He Qingjiao finally couldn’t help but speak. She seemed to understand the sense of disobedience she felt from the person in front of her.
This man knew her…
“Who told you?”
“Is it important?” Ye Anping reached out and said, “Miss He, we can be friends.”
“…”
“The purpose of Yu Yan in bringing back Ah Gu was for the Heavenly Demon Scroll and her physique. She is the cauldron that Yu Yan trained for himself. His purpose is to kill her…”
“I know.” He Qingjiao frowned and interrupted, “I can’t kill Yu Yan.”
“I can.”
“Then do you want me to thank you?” He Qingjiao raised her head slightly and asked, “Where is Ah Gu? She just collapsed the mountain…”
“Miss He, why are you so stubborn?” Ye Anping scratched his hair and said, “Don’t you just want to wait for Ah Gu to catch up with you before killing her? I will give you this opportunity after Yu Yan dies…”
“I am asking again, Ah Gu… Where is she…?”
“…You don’t trust me so much?”
As soon as the words fell——
Whoosh——
He Qingjiao showed almost no warning, and her body shape changed from stillness.
The ten-foot distance between the two seemed to be non-existent. By the time Ye Anping saw her sword clearly, the spiritual sword had already reached his throat.
But he didn’t take any countermeasures, and Bai Yue, who was behind him, didn’t move for a moment.
He Qingjiao looked at Ye Anping’s pristine face, and suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment as if she was being treated like a monkey. She grasped the hilt of the sword with her fingers and pushed the spirit sword hard into Ye Anping’s throat.
But at this moment, two shadows, one black and one white, jumped out from behind Ye Anping and leaned over to his left and right sides.
The bloody spiritual sword and the dark spiritual sword were crossed and placed at the tip of He Qingjiao’s spiritual sword.
Boom–
The dust around the four people was blown away by the air waves and countless cracks appeared on the ground.
He Qingjiao was not surprised. When she saw Ye Anping’s expression just now, she guessed that he probably had a back-up plan. However, when she saw that one of the two people who helped him block her sword was Gu Mingxin, her originally stern face changed. She couldn’t help but be moved by it.
“Ah Gu, you…”
Gu Mingxin’s eyes widened, and she grinned:
“Senior Brother He, long time no see!”
Because Feng Yudie’s sword was crossed behind Gu Mingxin’s Sword, she was not stunned, relying on Gu Ming Xin to help Ye Anping block it, she immediately retracted her sword and swung it horizontally, sweeping out a golden sword energy, heading straight toward He Qingjiao’s neck.
Noticing this sword, He Qingjiao subconsciously wanted to catch it with her evil aura, but she was surprised to find that the white-haired girl’s sword seemed to be able to cut away her evil aura, and the sword was extremely fast, even as fast as the one holding the sword just now. The white-haired girl had a fighting chance.
So, she immediately took back her sword, raised her head, and ducked, preparing to fight back.
But almost at the same time, Gu Mingxin’s spiritual sword had also arrived at her waist
Seeing that he could no longer hide, He Qingjiao gritted her teeth, turned her left hand, and took out a jade bowl from the storage bag in an instant.
Jingle–
The jade bowl connected with the Blood Spirit Sword and instantly shattered into countless fragments.
Evil energy like a vast sea burst out from the fragments, swallowing everything within a hundred feet around, and then exploded into a bloody light that shot straight into the sky.
Boom–!!!
However, at the next moment, a golden light directly cut off the bloody light that rushed into the sky.
The six-color array flags buried in the surroundings slowly floated up, connected by six-color silk threads, directly drawing a regular hexagonal spiritual world around the mountain.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, what was revealed was a 100-foot regular hexagonal pit that seemed to have been cut open by a sharp weapon.
Ye Anping stood on top of the broken rocks in one corner, holding the sword finger in his left hand in front of his chest, and raised his foot lightly:
“Set up the formation!”
The six formation flags floating in the sky at the six corners suddenly fell down and were planted on the high platform. Then they were built into walls made of spiritual energy, turning the deep pit about fifteen acres in size into a pit that could only be entered. A prison from which one could not escape.
He Qingjiao used the spiritual sword in her hand as a crutch and knelt on one knee in the center of the deep pit. She raised her head and looked around. She immediately understood that this was probably a person who could not escape except killing the person who created the formation.
But she just smiled disdainfully:
“Ah…”
Then she stood up, swung the spirit sword to the right, looked at the white-haired girl in one of the corners, and finally moved her gaze to Gu Mingxin, with a little killing intent in his eyes:
“Ah Gu…”
“Senior Brother He, oh no… Senior Sister He, let me introduce you. This young master is called Ye Anping, and he is my Daoist companion.” Gu Mingxin narrowed her eyes and smiled, “You just wanted to kill him, right?”
“…”
“Even if you don’t want to kill him, I will have to chop you down. Why don’t you join that old man’s people…”
Ye Anping glanced at her and sighed:
“Miss He, I’ll give you another chance… Yhy bother? Put down the sword, I promise…”
Before he finished speaking, He Qingjiao raised the spirit sword in her hand and swung a bloody sword energy directly at Ye Anping, gagging her mouth. Ye Anping had no choice but to block it with Bai Yue.
Ding–
It was also at this moment that Gu Mingxin’s eyes widened, and she ducked to He Qingjiao’s side in an instant.
“Who asked you to move?!!”
Ding–
The two swords were touching each other, but when He Qingjiao looked at Gu Mingxin, there was no expression on her face, as if she was simply dealing with a cultivator who was her enemy.
Two evil lights scattered around them, and in just three breaths, their swords made more than ten neighs.
Feng Yudie, who was watching from the side, now roughly understood the sword paths of the two of them. She turned to ask Ye Anping. After seeing Ye Anping nod, she also leaned forward and rushed between the two of them.
“White Idiot!!”
Feng Yudie looked disgusted: “You cut yours! I will cooperate with you…”
“Who wants you to cooperate!! Get out of my way!!”
Sough–
There was originally a traceable sword fight between two people, but after Feng Yudie entered, it instantly became chaotic.
He Qingjiao, who was still able to handle it with ease, couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat on her forehead. She could block Ah Gu’s sword with her sword, but she could only dodge the white-haired girl’s sword with her physical skills.
However, her face did not show fear or panic because she was in such an embarrassing situation. Instead, her mouth curled up as if she was enjoying it.
“Hiss—white idiot!”
Gu Mingxin was also not used to fighting swords with others. She was originally worried about Ye Anping, so she held back a little, but seeing Feng Yudie keep scurrying back and forth, she suddenly couldn’t suppress her anger anymore.
Whoosh——
The blood-colored spiritual sword slashed directly toward the back of Feng Yudie’s neck, but at the moment of contact, Feng Yudie ducked away and was cut off a small prick of silver hair. However, He Qingjiao, who was blocked by Feng Yudie had no time to react.
The blood-colored spiritual sword slid into her shoulder, forcing her to quickly retreat, but Feng Yudie cut her lower body and opened her calf.
“Hiss–”
He Qingjiao took in a breath of pain, immediately stepped back dozens of feet, thrust the spiritual sword in her hand into the ground, and squatted down to stop.
Feng Yudie touched the back of her head where a bunch of hair had been shaved off, and looked over with an eyebrow raised:
“Bitch!! You tough-talking bitch!!”
Gu Mingxin glared and cursed:
“You idiot, do you want to die? You blocked my sword!! Who asked you to come here!!”
“Young Master Ye asked me to help you!!”
“Who wants your help?!”
…
Seeing from a distance that the two of them were about to fight, Ye Anping felt tired and sighed. Xiao Tian and Xue, who had been sitting on his shoulders, also had an indescribable taste on their faces. Mixed feelings.
“Alas…” “Alas…”
“Black Fool, why are you sighing?!”
“What I sigh and care about is none of your business…”
…
Ye Anping glanced at each of them, but the next moment, he was attracted by a sudden laughter.
“Hahahaha… Hahahaha…”
He Qingjiao, who was lame on her right leg, raised her head and laughed, the expression on her face became more and more ferocious. Then she looked at Gu Mingxin and pointed her sword at her:
“Ah Gu, you have made a friend.”
At this point, Feng Yudie and Gu Mingxin, who were glaring at each other, both turned to look at her and said in unison:
“Who and this white idiot…” “Who and this black idiot…
However, at this time, a voice suddenly came from a distance, causing Feng Yudie and Gu Mingxin to tremble on their backs:
——”It’s indeed senior brother. Senior brother!!!”
The four people in the formation looked up almost at the same time, only to see Pei Lianxue, Xiao Yunluo, and Liang Zhu already in the sky.
After them, there were more than a hundred Xuanxing Sect disciples standing on the flying swords, all wearing lavender uniforms.
Pei Lianxue didn’t care about the other two people and smashed her head into the formation. She wanted to jump directly into her senior brother’s arms, but when she saw Gu Mingxin and He Qingjiao, who had just fought with her, were also there, she thought that the senior brother and the second fool were dealing with them, so she also resisted the urge to act coquettishly and fell in front of Ye Anping.
Whoosh——
With a wave of Snow Spirit Sword, Pei Lianxue glanced sideways at her senior brother’s left and right shoulders, but didn’t say anything. She just frowned and asked:
“Brother, who should I kill first?”
“…”
Ye Anping said nothing, stepped forward, patted her head, and then looked at the lonely He Qingjiao again.
There was no need for him to speak anymore at this time. The question had been raised by the Xuanxing Sect disciples who were surrounding the formation above. How to answer it depended on He Qingjiao’s choice.
Life or death…
However, He Qingjiao just raised her head and glanced around, then clenched the spirit sword in her hand again, turned to look at Ye Anping, and took a step toward him:
“Sir, I don’t know you yet…”
Ye Anping answered quickly: “Ye Anping.”
“In this case… Then please invite Mr. Ye…” He Qingjiao took a deep breath, eyes widened, “Go to death!!”
Ye Anping nodded in agreement: “Yeah…”
Then he simply closed his eyes, cleared his mind, and stopped looking.
Boom boom——
The roar of the spirit evil spirit reached his ears, but it was meaningless.
Ding ding ding——
The sound of swords meeting swords was harsh and meaningless.
“Don’t even think about hurting my senior brother?!”
Ding–
Ye Anping felt that He Qingjiao’s sword was already a few inches near his neck the latest time, but he still did not open his eyes to look.
The sword wind blew against his face, and the wind was violent, but it eventually calmed down.
Swish——
When everything around him was completely silent, Ye Anping slowly opened his closed eyes.
He Qingjiao had also been pierced through the chest by a bloody spiritual sword and was lying in a pool of blood.
But she did not remain silent, but her eyes were tightly closed, and there was no trace of regret on her face, which was as calm as water.
Pei Lianxue looked at Gu Mingxin with slight confusion. She originally thought that Gu Mingxin was with this person, but it turned out that Gu Mingxin pierced He Qingjiao’s heart with a sword and destroyed her Nascent Soul.
Ye Anping walked slowly, passed by Pei Lianxue, patted her head gently, then stopped beside He Qingjiao, his lips and teeth opened and closed slightly, but he didn’t make a sound.
He just took out a high-grade fire talisman from the storage bag and sprinkled it on He Qingjiao’s chest. In the faint flames, he once again witnessed the demise of a drop in the ocean.
