Chapter 69 Ascension
Along with the soul-stirring roar, dazzling white light exploded in front of your eyes.
The next moment, Zhang Zheng Xuxu opened his eyes and adapted to the bright light. In front of him was the familiar Henggu Plain, where they entered the Guyuan secret realm.
There were hundreds of people standing scattered in front of them.
"Junior sister Zhang!"
Lin Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise and quickly walked to her side, with shock flashing in her eyes: "Why are you injured like this?"
Zhang Zheng then lowered his head and looked at his current appearance. Xue Qing's clothes were soaked in blood and were dark red and mottled, especially the palms, which were still dripping with blood. The clothes were torn here and there.
It really looked a little too scary.
The moment you leave the secret realm, the vitality and spiritual energy have already been released from the trap and are automatically functioning to repair the body.
Zhang Zheng grinned nonchalantly, and with a cleansing spell, the blood-stained clothes were restored to their original state. She shook her broken leg, which was almost recovered, and said, "Senior Sister Lao, I'm worried. I'm fine. A little skin injury looks serious."
The healing elixir that was given out was stopped. Lin Xiaoxiao saw that she was really lively and vigorous, so she took the elixir back without forcing it.
As Lin Xiaoxiao gathered the group of Wanxuanmen disciples, Zhang Zheng suddenly found that almost everyone was lifeless and the atmosphere was solemn, something was very wrong.
She looked around for a moment, her eyes darkened, and then she noticed something unusual.
A year ago, tens of thousands, not to mention hundreds of thousands, of people entered Guyuan Secret Realm, but now there are only a few hundred people here.
The heavenly gate above our head has been annihilated and disappeared.
No one will come out again...
So many people died in the secret realm this time!
Zhang Zheng was shocked and frightened, and terrible suspicions arose spontaneously.
The most important point is why they have been out for so long, but none of the elders who escorted the disciples came forward.
There is no way they would forget that today is the day the secret realm is closed.
Then there are only two possibilities left.
Zhang Zheng hurriedly closed her eyes, hiding the fear and trembling in her eyes, her heart beating like a drum.
They were either entangled and unable to come, or they were dead...
These are dozens of Nascent Soul Stage monks, one of the largest forces in the world of cultivation. Who can have the ability to kill such a group?
Reason told her that the former was more likely than the latter.
But Zhang Zheng was uneasy in her heart, preferring the possibility of the former.
"Senior Sister Lin," Zhang Zheng whispered, "Where are the elders?"
This time the Wanxuanmen team was led by Jiang Chaorui and Liu Ruqing, and Lin Xiaoxiao was Liu Ruqing's direct disciple. The whereabouts of her master was unknown, which made her feel even more disturbed and uneasy.
Her eyebrows were tangled, her eyes dimmed a bit, and she forced herself to calm down: "Wait a while."
Compared with the disciples of the sect family, the casual cultivators, who numbered less than half a hundred, fled as soon as they realized that the situation was not good.
In the extremely suffocating space, the two teams suddenly moved.
Everyone's eyes were focused.
It’s the Ji Nan family!
I hadn't noticed it just now, but now I suddenly realized that there were actually quite a few people in their two families. Almost all of the twenty or so people who entered the secret realm returned safely.
Everyone's doubtful looks fell on them one after another.
Nan Yulin's dark eyes flashed like cold stars, and his cold eyes met everyone's gaze, "What? Do you suspect us of causing trouble?"
The words didn't sound like a question, but rather like irony, with the corners of her mouth slightly lowered, full of mockery.
We still don’t know the truth of the matter, so it’s not appropriate to cause conflicts and estrangements.
With the current strength displayed by the Hidden World Family, it is definitely not a person who has gained a reputation in vain. It is definitely not a wise move to start a conflict at this time.
As the chief disciple of the first sect, Yi Lanshan could not stay out of the matter. She raised her eyebrows lightly, took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Nan has misunderstood. It is true that too many monks have died during this trip, and there are many relatives and friends here. It will inevitably cause hurt.
With sorrow.”
"Compared with the reclusive family, it is difficult to suppress my feelings when I feel so sad for a moment. I hope fellow Taoist friends from the south can understand me and don't show any concern."
Didn't Nan Yulin know that there was something behind her words? In the final analysis, it was just a secret suspicion that had no reason to show up. If they were given the opportunity, he didn't know how aggressive his attitude would be.
However, she had no time to argue with them now, so she snorted and ignored them.
The Nan family monks followed Nan Yulin one after another on board the spirit boat. With a flick of their sleeves, the spirit boat soared into the sky and soon turned into a sail in the sky.
Ji Qingyun withdrew her distant gaze, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, and her eyes were like spring waves. She lowered her body and held her hands in front of the rest of the people.
He smiled and said, "Now that we have left the secret realm, the Ji family will take the first step. We will meet again if we are destined."
Although the Guyuan Secret Realm was opened by the Ji Nan family this time, there was no reason to blame them if something went wrong, and there was no way to stop them from leaving.
Everyone frowned, but they had no choice but to watch them leave.
Zhang Zheng was 70% certain that the person who killed her in the stone chamber was the work of the Ji family. He had already calmly focused his eyes on the Ji family, but no suspicious person was found.
This made her frown and her eyes darkened a bit, but she never took her eyes away from the Ji family.
It wasn't until the Ji family's spirit boat was about to take off that a sideways figure at the stern of the boat broke into view.
Wearing a mysterious black robe, most of his face is covered by a weird ghost face, and his dark hair is flying in the wind, messy and formidable.
Pupils shrank, eyes trembled, Zhang Zheng stared in the direction where the spirit boat disappeared, and moved her lips almost invisibly. She was sure that the man in black was the man in black who assassinated her in Shishi!
But what shocked her so much was not the discovery of the enemy, but the half-ghost face on that man's face.
No wonder, no wonder...
She said why she felt that the man in black felt strangely familiar.
The scarred hands, the deep and gloomy aura, and the terrifying evil ghost mask.
He wasn't exactly the down-and-out young boy she met in the market outside the Mysterious Insect Ridge.
One pill cost two hundred low-grade spiritual stones. She would never forget the shock and dumbfounded feeling at that moment.
There is no way, she is so reluctant to part with the spirit stone.
Unexpectedly, he actually became a member of the Ji family, and now he wants to kill her when they meet again!
Who gave the order? Or did no one give the order?
Zhang Zheng's expression changed several times, becoming unpredictable, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly in a weird way.
Could it be that he thought he had seen his downtrodden side, so he wanted to kill him and silence him?
This guess was too biased and bizarre, but when Zhang Zheng recalled his strange appearance and extremely bad tone and attitude at the market, he became strangely silent.
It seems that this is not impossible.
Just like the fantasy experienced in the secret realm, "Zhang Zheng" inside saved the dying Wan Sheng from the hands of the demon cultivator, took good care of him, and treated him like a biological brother.
The authorities are confused, but bystanders are clear. "Zhang Zheng" regards him as his last resort and life-saving straw, but Zhang Zheng can find many strange things in it if he thinks about it carefully.
"Zhang Zheng" doesn't even know her own physique, and has never told anyone about her past experiences, only occasionally mentioning it to Wansheng, whom she depends on for life.
So, who revealed her physique and past experiences?
She was bewitched by him, thinking that if she killed Yi Lanshan, no one would be able to oppose her. She was led by him like a puppet on strings, walking step by step towards the abyss of addiction, from which she could never escape.
She could have used the excellent qualifications given to her by her physique to explore the path to immortality, even if the journey was difficult and dangerous.
But in the end, she knelt in the main hall of the Sidao Sect and was sentenced to death. Her spiritual roots were removed, and she became a mortal with broken muscles and bones. She lingered and breathed her last breath in the ruined temple, dying without resting in peace.
Even until his death, he did not wait for the visit from the so-called last "relatives".
Taking a closer look, since she obtained the qualification to change the Yin spirit body, her smooth and bright path of cultivation only lasted a short hundred years.
She rescued Wansheng, thinking it was the love given to her by God, but in fact it was the beginning of her suffering again.
