Chapter 67: You Are Also Weak!
Elder Li confessed very readily.
He confessed with tears streaming down his face, begging only for death.
He told everything he knew, the initiators, the member organizations, the contact code words, and even explained the situation of the mine field clearly.
Elder Li, who had prided himself on being iron-boned, pleaded:
"Please! Quickly give me the antidote... I can't take it anymore!"
"It's not poison, where would an antidote come from?" Chu Xingchen said with a sincere face, "Although there's no antidote, there is water for you to rinse your mouth."
Hearing this, Elder Li's eyes widened in anger, and he howled loudly:
"Then kill me! I beg you to kill me!"
According to what Elder Li confessed, he deserved to die, but certainly not now.
Since he kindly refused the offer to rinse his mouth, then forget it.
Chu Xingchen casually flicked his spiritual energy, resealed Elder Li's mouth, then turned to look at Yaoqin.
He saw that Yaoqin's face was heavy, her gaze seemed to reveal killing intent, but this killing intent did not seem to be directed at Elder Li, but more like... she was lost in memories?
Chu Xingchen reached out and waved his hand in front of Yaoqin, asking with concern:
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine..." Yaoqin took a deep breath, then gently closed her eyes.
After a slight hesitation, Chu Xingchen still spoke:
"Now the situation is clear. The group of evil cultivators called the Evil Spirit Sect aims to create a Holy Mother according to ancient methods.
"Blood Qi Spirit Stones are their main means, and with such a massive blood sacrifice, they cannot cover it up. As long as we carefully investigate this line, there will definitely be results.
"We can now return to Yuzhou City and ask Central State for clarification..."
Yaoqin suddenly opened her eyes and interrupted, her icy voice with a hint of trembling:
"We can't just let it be!"
"It's always been like this! It was like this before cultivating! It's still like this after cultivating!"
Chu Xingchen looked at Yaoqin in astonishment; this was the first time he had seen her lose her composure.
"Sorry..." Yaoqin sensed something was wrong, turned her back, "You're right... we should go back..."
Chu Xingchen said seriously: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's just remembering past things..." Yaoqin turned back around, her face calm, "Let's first take him back to Yuzhou City, and then deal with the Qingfeng Sect's matter."
Chu Xingchen stared at Yaoqin and said: "I think it's better to deal with your problem first."
"What problem can I have?"
"Then tell me the truth, what were you just thinking!"
Yaoqin tightened her grip on the long sword, and after a long silence, she answered through gritted teeth:
"I want to kill people! I want to kill all those damned evil cultivators!"
"Can't comprehend the righteous path, so you delusionally pursue those heretical ways?! Are the people of the world always as cheap as ants?"
"Master always said, there is a distinction between immortals and mortals, and only becoming an immortal is the only bright path. He told me to abandon my mortal heart, forget the past, and that everything in the world will eventually return to its destined fate, but wasn't Master born a cultivator?!"
After Yaoqin finished speaking, she seemed unable to contain her hatred any longer. The long sword in her hand unsheathed, turning into a stream of light and beheading Elder Li with one strike.
As if she had figured something out, she said resolutely: "This matter is on me alone, you can go back!"
With that, she immediately wanted to turn and leave.
Chu Xingchen shouted: "What do you mean it's on you alone, you still owe me spirit stones that you haven't given me."
Yaoqin stopped in her tracks, she slightly raised her head to look at the moonlight and said:
"I will pay you back. I am a true disciple of the Tianyan Sect. They should be the ones who are afraid."
Sighing, Chu Xingchen walked to Yaoqin's side and said:
"You know what I want to say."
Yaoqin glanced sideways at Chu Xingchen.
"The world is so big, there will always be someone who chooses to stand by Yaoqin's side, supporting what she prepares to do." Chu Xingchen chuckled lightly and stretched, saying:
"Coincidentally, I'll count myself as one, after all, you've helped me so many times."
Yaoqin lightly pursed her lips, finally saying in a barely audible voice:
"Thank you..."
"Ah? Speak louder, what did you say!"
"Chu Xingchen!"
"There's no time to lose! Let's go and exterminate the evil cultivators!"
——————
Two streaks of rainbow light suddenly charged into the Qingfeng Sect's minefield from different directions.
One streak of rainbow light landed in the central training ground of the minefield.
The working miners looked up to see a stunning woman's body light up with dazzling spiritual light, slightly raising her hand to control a flying sword that moved even faster.
Just as the Qingfeng Sect disciples responsible for guarding the minefield slightly turned their heads towards the direction of the sound.
They saw a flash of light, their necks felt a chill, and immediately their vision went black.
A flying sword swiftly rampaged through the minefield, harvesting the lives of the Qingfeng Sect disciples.
Chu Xingchen, on the other hand, charged directly into the warehouse.
Sure enough, a formation had been reset inside the warehouse, with a Golden Core cultivator seated cross-legged in the center.
Chu Xingchen didn't hesitate to summon his spiritual sword. Although Li Yingling often seemed to be slacking off, she had never been negligent in her cultivation.
Her divine abilities had also reached another level.
Li Xingtian mostly cultivated spiritual power, so his mastery of divine abilities was still at a stage where he could barely use them.
Thus, the first disciple's divine ability—Three Thousand Weak Water Sword.
Chu Xingchen held nothing back, the spiritual sword in his hand transforming into a water dragon constructed of spiritual energy, which suddenly raised its head and attacked the Golden Core cultivator at a lightning-like speed.
The Golden Core cultivator was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. He had already stood up to prepare for a counterattack the moment Chu Xingchen landed.
But from the moment that spiritual energy water dragon leaped from the spiritual sword, the Golden Core felt his own aura had been rapidly locked onto...
The Golden Core cultivator instantly understood, this damn thing was a divine ability!
Chu Xingchen acted extremely fast, unleashing his ultimate move without a word, and it even had a tracking attribute.
No matter what struggle the Golden Core cultivator made in the end.
With just one sword, Chu Xingchen split everything before him.
That spiritual force was overwhelmingly powerful, easily crushing the ground and everything that obstructed it.
As well as that Golden Core cultivator who struggled powerlessly.
A streak of spiritual light shot out from the warehouse, as if stretching infinitely into the distance.
Crushing everything in its path, turning the surroundings into dust.
Yaoqin couldn't help but glance over, sensing that terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation.
Even Yaoqin, with her vast knowledge, was very certain—this was definitely a top-tier divine ability.
The warehouse couldn't withstand such spiritual energy either, quickly being blasted into ruins and scattered by the spiritual energy.
Yaoqin saw Chu Xingchen holding his spiritual sword, and after sensing her gaze, he smiled lightly and extended two fingers at her, index and middle fingers?
What did that mean?
If it were Chu Xingchen making a gesture, Yaoqin definitely wouldn't think of it in a good way.
Did this mean she was weak?
Yaoqin's spiritual sword suddenly moved even faster, and after harvesting the last Qingfeng Sect disciple, the spiritual sword automatically returned to its sheath.
Then, Yaoqin's slender hand also extended two identical fingers towards Chu Xingchen.
You are also weak!
