SQLJBFDTW Chapter 70

“Yu… Wei…” Chao Jianxue felt uneasy under Yu Wei’s cold gaze, and with a slight struggle, he freed his shoulder from his grasp.

The two disciples, beaten into pig-like faces, shouted, “Junior Brother Yu, don’t be fooled by him! It’s not enough that he killed disciples from other sects, he even killed two junior brothers outside the water prison! If the two of us hadn’t worked together just now, we would have almost been killed by him too! Be careful of his sneak attacks!”

Chao Jianxue flew into a rage, “Shut your mouths!”

He flung out a spiritual light, ready to punch them again, when the sect leader’s booming voice descended, “Half-demon, prepare to die!”

Yu Wei stepped forward, taking Chao Jianxue away from where the sect leader’s sword shadow fell, instantly creating cracks there, making the entire mountain gate even more precarious and unstable.

“Yu Wei! Are you going to betray the sect! You saw it with your own eyes, he shattered the water prison’s restrictions, plunging the sect into a precarious situation! Why don’t you ask him how a Nascent Soul cultivator could break through the water prison’s restrictions!”

Yu Wei didn’t reply, but held Chao Jianxue’s hand and said to him, “Senior brother, I believe you.”

Yesterday, he had returned to the water prison to tell Chao Jianxue just that.

He believed that his senior brother hadn’t killed anyone, even if his senior brother was hiding his half-demon identity from him, even if he heard his senior brother say that being his Dao companion was only for “benefit”…

“Let’s wait for Lord Qishan to come back, okay…” This was almost a pleading tone.

He held his hand, held it very tightly, just like when he and Chao Jianxue returned from Water Moon Valley and knelt together before Lord Mu Yuan.

Chao Jianxue looked at him, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye without warning. Yu Wei made it sound easy, but he knew that he couldn’t escape this time, so he shouldn’t implicate Yu Wei any further.

He shook off Yu Wei’s restraint and shouted at him, “You’ve put your faith in the wrong person! Don’t bother with me!”

The sect leader raised his sword and cast the ninth form again, this time the sword shadow array was larger than before, almost covering half the sky.

Chao Jianxue gripped his sword, Yu Wei still wanted to grab him, but he pushed him away with a palm, then faced the thousands of sword shadows head-on.

He had already figured it out just now.

What was the point of agonizing over whether he had killed anyone or not?

His master’s words were like a thunderbolt, illuminating his ignorant and chaotic sea of consciousness.

If he didn’t even believe in himself, and suspected that he had killed someone, who else would believe him?

But whether he had killed anyone or not was never important!

Chao Jianxue stared directly at the sect leader in mid-air, hatred flashing in his eyes, “It was me who broke through the restrictions, it is me who bears the blood of a half-demon! From the very beginning, you tested me several times, and when I was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you used a sword array to kill me! If you had forced out my demon form, would you have killed me on the spot!”

When his divine soul stabilized, he was assassinated, and there was also that time in the mortal realm. He thought it was the Tianyao Sect, but the person behind it was the sect leader!

The sect leader snorted coldly, “Ever since your divine soul stabilized, I knew that this day of great calamity would come! Lord Qishan didn’t tell me about your background, but I guessed that you were thatAbnormality from back then! You’re right, if you had shown even the slightest bit of demon form under my sword, I definitely wouldn’t have shown mercy! Looking back now, I was too indecisive!”

Chao Jianxue laughed in extreme anger, “So whether I killed anyone or not doesn’t matter, as long as you confirm my identity, you’re going to kill me anyway!”

“Breaking open the water prison, killing the guarding disciples, attracting demons, and still quibbling even now!” The sect leader didn’t want to waste any more words with him, and activated the sword array, which immediately expanded and covered him tightly.

Chao Jianxue finally understood, he had only wanted to leave, to hide his demon identity, to escape, to delay – he was wrong.

In fact, there was no avoiding it!

With a “buzz,” the sword of Ming Qianli cracked.

Chao Jianxue raised his sword to look, and after the sword body cracked, it actually emitted a new kind of light. As if summoned, Chao Jianxue looked up and was shocked to see a snow-white, giant nine-tailed fox phantom in front of him.

All nine tails danced, showering colorful immortal light, and when the fox opened its eyes, the sword array flying down instantly retreated. The sect leader was horrified, and inadvertently, he was devoured by his own sword array, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground.

Chao Jianxue couldn’t believe it: “Fuhéng True Immortal…”

Yes, it was Fuhéng True Immortal. But the phantom of the True Immortal only existed for this moment, and then disappeared into tiny points of light. Those points of light flew upwards, scattering half of the demonic shadows surrounding the sky, and some sunlight shone in, and it was already dawn outside.

“I have been waiting for you to awaken, and with that, I will completely dissipate…” Fuhéng’s sigh of relief appeared in Chao Jianxue’s sea of consciousness, and disappeared into the world.

–Only treat tomorrow as impermanent.

Chao Jianxue suddenly understood, he was half-human and half-demon, so what!

Fate would not stop pushing because he tried to hide it, nor would it prevent that ending from coming forever because he tried to delay it.

Where had his former impulsive self gone?

Why couldn’t he accept his innate bloodline?

And Ming Qianli was reborn, revealing a dazzlingly bright interior, truly becoming an immortal artifact.

The birth of an immortal artifact shocked everyone.

The sect leader stood up, suddenly realized, and sneered: “So you obtained the immortal artifact from Water Moon Valley.”

“Yu Wei, do you know about this too!”

In the glorious light of Ming Qianli, Chao Jianxue stiffened all over, not daring to look back at Yu Wei, whose voice was almost broken: “Senior brother…”

If Chao Jianxue calmed down and listened carefully, he would have heard that Yu Wei still held a glimmer of hope for him to refute it.

Yu Wei actually hated being deceived… the death of his parents on the One Leaf Boat, and hisUncle who had been so kind to him, also deceived him again and again.

“Benefit without harm,” was his sincerity really just a “benefit” to his senior brother?

He lied to him in Water Moon Valley that he had not obtained the opportunity, so was this sword really obtained through collusion with demons?

He suppressed his trembling, unwilling to give up: “Has there ever been a true word from my senior brother to me?”

Just one sentence! Just one sentence would be enough!

Chao Jianxue couldn’t calm down at this time. He didn’t answer Yu Wei, but madly strode towards the sect leader.

The other party wanted to kill him, and he had endured and dodged again and again, but now he couldn’t dodge anymore!

He had lost his reason, only hatred remained. With such mental turmoil, a wisp of demonic energy took advantage of the situation and burrowed into Chao Jianxue’s forehead.

The sect leader wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, still not taking him seriously: “A mere Nascent Soul half-demon, so what if you obtained an immortal artifact!”

He summoned his sword and stood up, ready to unleash his sword array’s ultimate move.

Chao Jianxue’s spiritual light greatly increased, and Ming Qianli slashed down decisively–

A long sword suddenly flew over, Ming Qianli was struck, the sword body deflected, and the sword light pierced into the shoulder of the attacker. Instantly, killing intent permeated, and demonic power, spiritual power, and the remaining immortal power of Ming Qianli worked together, creating a destructive force in the other party’s body. Chao Jianxue was stunned, and the wisp of demonic energy was instantly wiped out from his forehead.

An angry shout from a familiar person came from the sky: “Master! Master–”

The sect leader was also shocked, and retracted his sword intent, injuring himself by seven points: “Mu Yuan! Mu Yuan! What are you doing!”

Lord Mu Yuan held his sword to support his body, took a deep breath, raised his hand to pull out Ming Qianli, and threw it back to Chao Jianxue, Chao Jianxue was completely stunned, and didn’t even catch the sword.

Lord Mu Yuan looked into his eyes, coughed out a mouthful of blood, and sighed, “Jianxue, he who hurts others also hurts himself. Don’t let yourself go down an irreversible path…”

Fortunately, he arrived quickly, otherwise he would have witnessed Chao Jianxue’s reason being taken over by demonic energy.

Nan Shan and Qiu Shui staggered and fell to the ground, crawling to Lord Mu Yuan’s side: “Master…”

Nan Shan’s eyes were wider than ever before, rabbit-like and red: “Chao Jianxue–how dare you!”

He ran up, forgetting his sword, forgetting his spells, only using his fists and feet, kicking Chao Jianxue to the ground.

The latter was dazed, not resisting at all.

“Nan Shan! Stop!” Lord Mu Yuan shouted sternly, “It wasn’t Chao Jianxue who hurt me, I took this blow myself!”

Nan Shan’s fist stopped in the air, his arm trembling.

The noisy voices were chaotic. Chao Jianxue looked in the direction of Lord Mu Yuan in a daze.

“Your master forcibly came out of seclusion after receiving the news. His cultivation was unstable, and he exhausted himself fighting demons, and then he was injured by the immortal artifact and demonic power! He must immediately go into seclusion to heal! Qiu Shui, Yu Wei! Quickly send your master back to his cave!”

Lord Mu Yuan’s spiritual power continuously leaked from his wound. The cultivation of the Great Ascension stage couldn’t stop the loss of spiritual power even in a fragile state. Chao Jianxue watched his temples instantly turn white, but he still stood, walked a few steps to Chao Jianxue.

Lord Mu Yuan looked at him, his mouth saying, “Chao Jianxue is my disciple, the consequences of his mistakes today, I will naturally bear for him…”

Then, Lord Mu Yuan said to the sect leader, “He is my disciple, do not kill him. I think there is something strange about today’s events, let’s find out the truth first.”

A look of unbearable pain appeared on the sect leader’s face, and he said, “…Okay.”

Chao Jianxue couldn’t bear it anymore, and abruptly pushed away Nan Shan, stumbling and kneeling in front of Lord Mu Yuan: “Master, I’m sorry… I didn’t expect… Master…”

Lord Mu Yuan said palely, “I am your master, I have seen everything you have done in the past, I know your nature, I understand your pain, you don’t need to apologize to me.”

He reached out and stroked the top of Chao Jianxue’s head.

Gentle and forceful, carrying the deepest concern of a master for his disciple, just like when he had first joined his sect.

Chao Jianxue’s tears welled up in his eyes.

He used to think that his master didn’t care about him that much, but he was wrong. He was a teacher and a father, and there was no one more biased and loving than Lord Mu Yuan.

The sound of water roared, and the entire Wuwu Sect mountain gate was still collapsing.

Lord Mu Yuan was losing too much spiritual power, his eyes slowly closed, and Chao Jianxue quickly hugged him. The sect leader strode over, pinched his vital points, and sent a burst of spiritual energy: “His life is not in danger!” After all, he was at the Great Ascension stage, and Lord Mu Yuan had already gathered all his true essence back into his body, and his body began to repair itself, but it was unknown how long it would take to wake up.

He handed Lord Mu Yuan to Nan Shan. Nan Shan looked at Chao Jianxue with red eyes, carried his master on his back, and went to the secluded cave with Qiu Shui.

Chao Jianxue reluctantly took a few steps on his knees, then was tightly grabbed by Yu Wei.

He faced the sect leader and knelt down with him.

Seeing him like this, a hint of anger appeared in Chao Jianxue’s originally bleak eyes.

“Don’t kneel! You’re not allowed to kneel!” Why should he let Yu Wei kneel to the sect leader for him!

He stood up, wanting to pull Yu Wei up, but he couldn’t stop Yu Wei from saying to the sect leader: “This disciple begs to be imprisoned with senior brother!”

“Get up! You’re not allowed! You’re not allowed to be like this!” Chao Jianxue was so angry that tears streamed down his face, he was half sad and half angry, his heart was so uncomfortable that he wanted to die.

More movement came, elders from other sects had eliminated some of the demons, and also came to Guan Yue Platform to see what was happening.

Seeing the situation, everyone understood. How hateful that this half-demon actually hurt his master who had raised him for decades. This time, there was no need to look for evidence of whether he had killed anyone. The new witnesses and material evidence were all there, and the half-demon couldn’t deny it no matter what!

Li Zhenzhen and his junior brothers and sisters also came over, and Li Zhenzhen exclaimed, “Chao Jianxue–”

“Chao Jianxue! Why don’t you just offer your neck for execution!” someone shouted loudly.

“Sect leader, you must not!” Yu Wei shouted, wanting to remind the sect leader of Lord Mu Yuan’s instructions just now.

“With such a dangerous person, why doesn’t the sect leader make a decision early!”

With such a stalemate, the sect leader fell into deep thought.

Chao Jianxue looked around blankly, everyone seemed to be standing on the opposite side of him, only Yu Wei…

Whether it was his master or Yu Wei, he didn’t want to let anyone get hurt or sad for him anymore. He didn’t want to carry these unwarranted blame anymore, it would be better to put himself in a desperate situation and find a new life, it would be better to…

It would be better to… break up completely!

His footsteps paused slightly, Chao Jianxue lowered his eyes and looked to the side, Guan Yue Platform—or rather, the entire Wuwu Sect gate was tilting, and a few beams of light scattered in the dark water.

He put his hand behind his back and pinched his jade token, resolutely exerting force.

“Yu Wei!” he said in a deep voice.

Yu Wei suddenly looked up, looking at him with grief.

Chao Jianxue gave him a smile that was more ugly than crying.

“I lied to you, I’ve been lying to you. You shouldn’t kneel for me, it’s not worth it.”

He raised his head, a pair of dark eyes looking at the opposing crowd, and said miserably, “I won’t trouble you to do it–”

He broke free from Yu Wei’s sleeves, and without hesitation, took a step back, his feet suddenly hanging in the air, and his body fell straight backwards.

Below him was an abyss, and the dark water surged madly, wanting to devour him…

Someone couldn’t control himself when he jumped off Guan Yue Platform, and got up to jump, but was stopped by others. He only grabbed a section of the cracked inner sect jade token.

“Senior brother–” a heart-wrenching voice came from above, abruptly stopped, and then scattered by the long wind, Chao Jianxue couldn’t hear it at all.

Crashing into the deep water, all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

All the noise faded away, and only the lapping of the water waves remained around him. Chao Jianxue closed his eyes heavily.

After a moment, he suddenly opened them.

On the shore, a disheveled ghost crawled up.

The snake demon had been waiting for a long time, squatted down and said with a smile, “I’ve been watching for a long time below, anyway, you have nowhere else to go, why don’t you come back to the demon realm with me!”

–

Chao Jianxue is dead, the jade token is broken in half, completely dead!

The Wuwu Sect also completely crashed into the water below because it lost the support of the water diversion, the once glorious first immortal sect suffered heavy losses, and the disciples were also injured and killed in the fight with the demons, without the grandeur of the past.

Because of the blow with the power of the True Immortal, the leader of the Wuwu Sect injured his vitality and went into seclusion. Lord Mu Yuan is recuperating in the cave.

From now on, when it comes to Chao Jianxue, the disciples of the Wuwu Sect will scold him for several days. Who would have known that such a senior brother was actually a ruthless and unrighteous half-demon! But luckily he’s dead, it’s good that he’s dead, and there won’t be any more troubles in a short time!

It’s just that one person, in a short period of time, has advanced to the late stage of Transformation God extremely quickly, only one step away from the Great Ascension stage. The disciples worshiped him, and those who used to claim to be familiar with him went to talk to him, but were rejected.

It is said that Junior Brother Yu Wei is even more unapproachable than he was in his early years, keeping people at a distance. Talking to him is like not having to use spells to cool down in the summer!
