Chapter 137: Brainstorm
Yan Yuqing's face displays an abnormal smirk. He usually maintains a cold and aloof expression, much like Elder Yan Shu. Both are of the reserved, non-jovial type. But at this moment, he smiles. With his right hand gripping the sword, he swipes the broken blade across his left palm as this hand curls up, making a handful of dark red blood bloom.
Scooping his own blood, he doesn't look at Su Tingyun as he continues speak, as if to himself, "My only goal is to keep growing stronger. To slaughter to end slaughter, anyone who comes in my way will turn into a departed soul beneath my sword!"
After saying this, with his right hand he thrusts the broken sword into the ground. The thin blood from the hollow if his left hand spills out, looking like concealed weapons falling down. In an instant, the earth trembles, and the ground within the barrier, with him at the center, cracks like a spider's web. The blood passes through the barrier and shoots towards Su Tingyun.
She can only defend herself by swinging her sword, but just then, Yan Yuqing sneers. He breaks the barrier, and with a swift movement, then he enters the fissure.
The moment he enters, Yan Yuqing suddenly looks back. An extremely pained expression appears on his face, and his countenance becomes clear. The hand holding the sword loosens its grip, and his bloodied left hand extends in Su Tingyun's direction...
Little Uncle!
Su Tingyun immediately reaches out to grab him while channeling her spiritual energy, intending to pull him back with all her might. However, he gives a strange smirk and yanks her inside.
She was tricked!
She's already being subjected to an extremely cold atmosphere, and her emotions are anything but normal, with panic, fear, and even anger taking hold in her heart. Just then, her ring suddenly activates, a cool sensation spreading throughout her body, as if a bucket of cold water is being poured over her, from head to toe, soaking her completely.
Her hand was already plunged into the unfathomable black hole, but a tremendous force propels her out, and since Su Tingyun hasn't let go, it also results in Yan Yuqing being partially pulled out.
"Xuanyuan Wentian, staying away from the seal, is a conspiracy!" Yan Yuqing suddenly blurts these words, his eyes filled with indescribable sorrow. "My Master, is he still alive?"
At this point, Su Tingyun can no longer distinguish between truth and falsehood. Just a moment ago, Yan Yuqing attempted to drag her into the abyss along with him, and even now, he's firmly holding her hand and not letting go, still trying to pull her in.
A force pushing outward and Yan Yuqing pulling inward, making Su Tingyun into a battleground. She feels as if her body is about to be torn in half. If it weren't for the ring continually nourishing her, she would have surely given in by now.
Su Tingyun grits her teeth and says, "I told you, Elder Yan is still alive, and he asked me to bring you back!"
If you're truly willing to embrace the demonic path to become stronger, then I'll take you back to face the sect's disciplinary punishment!
"He's alive!" Yan Yuqing's expression turns ferocious again. His eyes are deep, like rolling yellow sand beneath a setting sun, giving off a desolate feeling.
"Wait for my return." For some reason, there's no sound when he says these words, yet his lip movements are clear, and his intent is understood.
This silent speech is like a cold threat, completely chilling Su Tingyun!
Could it be that he wants to finish the job? That's the person Big Bai saved at great cost. Could it be that he wants to kill again, seeking the pinnacle of the path of slaughter through killing his Master and embracing the Demonic Path? He's no better than a beast!
Just then, Su Tingyun feels a sudden pain in her palm. She clenches her hand slightly and notices that Yan Yuqing, who was holding her hand, has let go. His body seems to plunge into an abyss of darkness, completely disappearing. Su Tingyun is propelled several yards away by a powerful force, and she checks her palm, finding it covered in blood.
It's Yan Yuqing's blood.
She also finds something in her hand, a wooden carving, and it's the image of Su Tingyun holding a sword in front of her, with Big Bai impaled on the sword.
More precisely, it's not Su Tingyun; it's Xi Guang.
Back when Su Tingyun was in Wei Yun's body, Little Uncle also carved a wooden figurine. But at that time, her figure and posture were blurry, while Big Bai was meticulously detailed. This wooden carving is quite small, yet Xi Guang is portrayed with lifelike precision, with detailed expression, and Big Bai is incredibly adorable as well. It's evident at a glance that the carver put a lot of heart into it.
Su Tingyun doesn't know how she feels about this, so she doesn't dwell on it. Instead, she focuses on the giant rock. Little Uncle has already entered it. What should she do now?
While previously she could feel coldness and fear, now the crevice seems ordinary and much narrower. She doesn't even know when it reduced to just the width of a hand.
Su Tingyun probes with her divine sense again and discovers that it's merely an ordinary crack. She can even see the moss growing inside it. Reaching in, her hand can barely touch the bottom of the narrow gap, and she feels the slippery, soft moss, giving her a disgusting, sticky sensation.
If she hadn't seen Zhang Zhizi and Little Uncle enter with her own eyes, she would never have thought this was a passageway.
Where have they gone?
Thinking of the creatures in the Immortal Palace on Kunlun Divine Tree, Su Tingyun can't help but wonder if this place might be an entrance to the demon realm.
But now, the entrance is closed. Can't she get in at all?
Su Tingyun uses her Springwater Sword to strike the giant rock, but despite exerting all her strength, the stone remains unmoved. It seems she's truly being rejected by Xi Guang's body now. She has no choice but to put everything on hold and prioritize her safety.
Su Tingyun takes the opportunity to swiftly depart while she still can. But after leaving, she can't help but glance back. This time, the massive stone is completely gone, despite her having marked its location with her divine sense. It's as if someone has effortlessly concealed it, leaving no trace behind.
The entrance has disappeared.
Shortly after leaving the Qilian Mountains, Su Tingyun can't hold on any longer. She had planned to rest for two days before going back, but to her surprise, Big Bai, who's looking deflated, still insists on going out. She is throwing a tantrum, and this time, Su Tingyun dares not suppress her anymore. She releases Big Bai.
Big Bai wordlessly swallows Su Tingyun and swiftly returns to the Obliteration Sword Tower. Throughout the journey, she doesn't utter a word.
