Chapter 423: Inheritance
After a while, when Yuan Ming and Xiying found the location of the last soul leech, he looked at the Fairy Jinxi in front of him and couldn't help showing surprise.
"Xiying, you are finally here. I thought you had forgotten me." Fairy Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yuan Ming and the others appear.
Yuan Ming's mind turned, and then he remembered that the Six Desires Venerable had specially given them a soul leech in order to recover a group of Yuanying.
Because Fairy Jinxi's position was different from other Yuanying cultivators and she took care of him along the way, Yuan Ming naturally couldn't kill her like he did with other Yuanyings. After that, Xiying didn't mention this matter, so he subconsciously put it behind his mind.
But now it seems that Xiying's not mentioning this matter seems to have a deep meaning.
"How could it be? If it weren't for you, Jin Xi, who sacrificed yourself to feed the tiger and deliberately let Liu Yu put a soul leech on your Nascent Soul, how could we find all his soul leeches? Even if we forget anyone, we can't forget you, the great contributor." Xiying said with a smile.
"Don't come on, Liu Yu, the old thief, is he dead this time? Then help me kill the soul leech quickly. It has been attached to my Nascent Soul and it makes me sick." Fairy Jin Xi rolled her eyes.
Then, she pinched the magic formula with her right hand, and countless golden words flew out of her body, condensed into a golden scroll in the air, and fell into her palm again.
Xiying also nodded her forehead, and a three-legged golden crow flew out instantly, flashed into Fairy Jin Xi's body, and after destroying the soul leech attached to her soul, it flew back to Xiying's sea of consciousness.
Fairy Jin Xi's consciousness swept over her body and saw that Liu Yu's soul leech had indeed been removed, and she immediately felt refreshed.
At the same time, Xiying noticed that Yuan Ming seemed a little confused, so she took the initiative to explain:
"Jin Xi is my best friend. This time she came to Shura Palace at my invitation to help. If she hadn't used the Heavenly Talisman to seal the soul leech, and used the induction method to find the location of other soul leeches, and finally passed it to me, it would not be so easy for us to kill Liu Yu."
Yuan Ming was suddenly enlightened after hearing this, but Fairy Jin Xi's face was a little more sad:
"Alas, it's a pity that the elders of the sect I brought with me died before Liu Yu could make a move, and I didn't even have a chance to protect them."
"I will give you some compensation for this matter later." Xiying took the initiative to say.
"Forget it, before they came, I had already informed them of the risks of this trip in advance. Now that I am dead, it is not because of the hostility of Liu Yu, so I can't blame others." Fairy Jin Xi sighed and shook her head.
The three of them were silent for a moment, and then Fairy Jin Xi took the initiative to break the slightly heavy atmosphere.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now that the matter here is over, I have to go back to the Lingfu Sect to deal with the subsequent impact. When this storm is over, Xiying, come to me again to fulfill the agreement and help me find the other half of the Tianfu Ce." Fairy Jinxi said.
Xiying nodded silently, then signaled Yuan Ming to open the passage, and Fairy Jinxi nodded to Xiying again and said goodbye, and left Yuan Ming with a mysterious smile, and then was wrapped in the white light activated by Yuan Ming and left Shura Palace.
"Ni Mu has also solved the Six Desires, do you want to go over and talk to them?" After sending Fairy Jinxi away, Yuan Ming suddenly remembered something and took the initiative to propose.
"No, although Ni Mu is our helper, he also has his own purpose and is not on the same page with me. Besides, the deal between us is not over yet, so let them all go directly." Xiying shook her head and said.
"I heard that Liu Yu called Ni Mu the leader of the Dawn Alliance, and you said before that he was a member of the Wuyue Cult. Does that mean that Dawn is also a part of the Wuyue Cult?" Yuan Ming asked in surprise.
"Dawn is indeed an external organization of the Wuyue Cult. Although the Wuyue Cult has been hiding in the dark for many years, in fact, they have already controlled many scattered alliances and even some small sects. The scope of influence is far larger than you think." Xiying explained.
"Is the Wuyue Cult really revived? What is their purpose?" Yuan Ming frowned and asked.
"Ten thousand years ago, the Wuyue Cult dominated the entire Yunhuang Continent, and now, the purpose of their revival is just to reproduce the glory of ten thousand years ago." Xiying shook her head.
"Then you..." Yuan Ming hesitated and looked at Xiying.
"Me? Haha, ten thousand years ago, our Xi family's ancestor was one of the six venerables of Wuyue Sect. After that, Wuyue Sect was destroyed by Changchun Temple and the four regions of Central Plains, East China Sea, Western Regions and Southern Xinjiang. The ancestor of the family took the opportunity to escape and lived in seclusion at the border of the Northern Desert. Since then, there have been several Yuanyings in charge, and even three sleeping witches. Now that Wuyue Sect has revived, they intend to recruit our Xi family again. Not only did they promise us a high position as a venerable, they even took out the formula for the seventh level of Mingyue Jue." Xiying said slowly.
"The seventh level? I remember that you only gave the sixth level." Yuan Ming was a little moved.
"Yes, for a long time, the Mingyue Jue inherited by our Xi family only has the first six levels. This time, the Wuyue Sect has recovered the lost seventh level, which is very attractive to the old guys in the family. Moreover, they are optimistic about the Wuyue Sect's plan to unify the continent this time, and they are also greedy for the rewards promised by the Wuyue Sect. They are happy to join. Now they have been completely pulled on board and confirmed their identity as Wuyue Sect members." Xiying's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible anger.
"What about you? Do you agree with their views?" Yuan Ming asked, but he already had the answer in his heart.
"Haha, none of the people in the Wu Yue Sect are good people. They just want to use us as cannon fodder. What's more, although Wu Yueshen has recovered, he is sluggish and lacks strategy. It has been ten thousand years, but he still acts as he did back then. In addition, the Wuyue Sect seems to be unified now, but in fact the internal factions are fighting against each other, and the old people are suppressing the newcomers, and even people like Ni Mu cannot be reused. Moon God still relies on those old subordinates, with uneven rewards and punishments, and nepotism. With the current rotten situation, it would be crazy if he could unify Yunhuang." Xiying sneered.
"What are your next plans?" Yuan Ming nodded thoughtfully and asked again.
"It's a pity that I don't have much say in the clan. Now I can only superficially agree with the family's judgment. I am secretly recruiting people to fight back in the future and completely cut off the connection with the Wuyue Sect." Xiying said calmly.
Then, she suddenly looked at Yuan Ming: "Actually, I have traveled to Yunhuang over the years and found that whether it is the Central Plains, the East China Sea, the Western Regions, or the Southern Xinjiang, there are many talented people and talented people. Although I have plans in my mind, there are not many in the end. I was confident, until I met you and found out that you could even be Wu Yueshen’s potential opponent, that’s when I finally made the plan.”
"Me? I'm just a love witch now. Even if I have the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, I can only forcibly raise it to the middle stage of the Sleeping Witch. It's so difficult to kill a Six Desires Venerable. How can I still be the opponent of Wu Yueshen?" Yuan Ming pointed out. Pointing to his nose, he said with some surprise.
"Where are you thinking? Of course, you are not an opponent in terms of cultivation, but an opponent in the ability to collect wishes! The reason why Wu Yueshen can get so many soul cultivators to follow is precisely because the magic weapon he gave can help soul cultivators Collect vows for cultivation, otherwise who would be willing to worship the gods all day long?" Xiying said angrily.
"Ahem, I see, but how did you know that I can collect wish power?" Yuan Ming was surprised.
"Stupid, have you forgotten, who told you the name of Stealing Heaven Cauldron?" Xiying looked at Yuan Ming as if he were a fool.
Yuan Ming scratched his head in embarrassment, but soon remembered something again, and asked quickly: "By the way, since you know about the Tiantian Cauldron, can you tell me its origin?"
"I have only seen the appearance and name of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron in a classic of Wuyue Sect. It was mentioned above that it has the ability to collect wishes. I don't know anything else. Just like you took me into I have never heard of that space before." Xiying spread her hands, feeling helpless.
"What about Wu Yueshen? Who is he, and why can he master the method of absorbing the power of wishes? Could it be said that he also has a heaven-stealing cauldron?" Yuan Ming asked again.
"I don't know this either. I only know that he has existed for tens of thousands of years. He has lived longer than the six desires. His cultivation has reached an unfathomable level. He can kill people with just one word. However, he has been in a deep sleep in the past. It has only recovered recently, so its strength may not be that strong.”
"But you don't have to worry. Wu Yueshen seems to have been severely injured. He can hardly leave the core holy land of Wu Yue Sect. He has never cared about anyone except his old subordinates. Otherwise, if we kill Liu Yu, he would have been killed long ago. Came here." Xiying said.
Yuan Ming nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "Speaking of which, you killed Liuyu just to weaken the Wuyue Sect?"
"...Not only that, but also because Liuyu once killed my brother." Xiying's mood suddenly dropped, she only said one sentence, and then fell silent.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Ming couldn't expose her scars, so he could only change the subject: "Since we are destined to be enemies of the Wuyue Sect in the future, Ni Mu and the others will be our enemies sooner or later, so why not kill them directly while we have the advantage? To avoid future troubles.”
"Ni Mu is so scheming, how can he be so easy to deal with? After all, we are still working together now. There are still some things that he needs to finish in order to kill Liuyu. It is not easy to break the relationship for the time being. Besides, he may not be loyal to the Wuyue Sect. We will say in the future There may be opportunities for cooperation." Xiying shook her head.
"Finishing?" Yuan Ming was confused.
"Six Desires are cautious people. Even if the main body enters the Shura Palace, there will be a few soul leech clones left outside. The reason why Ni Mu came late is to capture those clones. If we kill him here, Then Liuyu will be able to resurrect from those soul leeches sooner or later, so we can only let him go," Xiying said.
Only then did Yuan Ming understand. No wonder Ni Mu dared to join forces with Xi Ying and was not afraid of being silenced. He even left a life-saving charm for himself outside.
Then, he sensed the position of Ni Mu and the others through the restriction, and was about to open a passage for them to leave, but suddenly found that Ni Mu raised his head without warning and met his gaze as he observed them through the restriction.
However, Ni Mu didn't seem to really see Yuan Ming. He just nodded slightly in this direction and then continued talking to Wu Yue and the other two.
Even so, his reaction also made Yuan Ming feel cold. He no longer waited for them to leave on their own, and directly used the restraint to throw the three of them out of Shura Palace.
(Sorry, Wangyu had a lot of things to do yesterday, so the update time was delayed. Fellow Taoists, please forgive me!)
