Chapter 193
In the Qianlan Mountains shrouded in ancient legends, Tianying's brows were furrowed, her eyes full of anxiety, and there was an imperceptible tremor in her words: "Mammy, why hasn't Young Master Zi come for so long? It's been more than a month, and there's not even a trace of him. Is Sister Xuanxin okay?" Her voice echoed in the empty mountains with a hint of helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Nanny Li felt mixed emotions. Recalling that thrilling scene, her eyes became deep and complicated. At that time, she was seriously injured and unable to fight again. She could only watch Xuanxin being taken away by those mysterious enemies. Shadow chased after him desperately, and Hongyi also hurried away to find the legendary Purple Bamboo Master. However, to this day, Purple Bamboo Master has not appeared, Shadow seems to have disappeared in the vast mountains, and Xuanxin's fate is even more confusing.
"Why do they want to capture Sister Xuanxin?" Gui Jianxiao's voice suddenly sounded. His eyes were sharp, staring straight at Tianying, as if seeking an answer.
Tianying looked at Li Ma silently, while the latter lowered her head in deep thought, as if a heavy burden was weighing on her heart. She remained silent, and the question of the ghost hanging in the air, no one responded.
At this moment, Tianying's space ring suddenly vibrated, and her eyes lit up instantly. She hurriedly took out the sound transmission stone. The sound transmission stone flickered with white light, like the brightest star in the night sky. Gui Jianxiao took it and held it tightly. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Who is it? Could it be Sister Xuanxin?" Tianying's voice was filled with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
Gui Jianxiao shook his head, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "No, it's my brother. He also entered this mountain range and should be nearby."
"Your brother? Why is he here?" Tianying frowned even more tightly, and she looked around as if looking for something.
Gui Jianxiao did not answer, but just lowered his head silently. Everyone knew what his brother was thinking, but in this kind of situation, no one could help, and he could only face and solve it by himself.
"Since we're here, let's get together first. The Qianlan Mountains are not peaceful right now." Shen Longyuan's voice was firm and steady. He looked at Tianying with determination in his eyes.
Tianying nodded. Even though she didn't have any good feelings towards Gui Jianxiao's brother, she could only reluctantly agree for the sake of Gui Jianxiao and Shen Longyuan.
At this moment, on the other side of the mountain range, Lu Xuanxin was standing by a clear stream. She looked at her reflection gently rippling in the water, with a happy smile on her face.
"It took me two days to finally change my appearance." She said to herself, with a hint of relief and satisfaction in her voice.
Standing up and stretching, Lu Xuanxin decided to go find Tianying and the others. She randomly chose a direction and shuttled through the forest like a ghost, light and agile.
However, not long after, she came to a chaotic valley. There were signs of destruction everywhere, with old trees, weeds, and bushes tangled together in a mess, as if they had just experienced a tragic battle.
Lu Xuanxin walked carefully, but found no traces of people or fighting on the ground. Where did this chaos come from? She was full of doubts.
Just as she was puzzled, she suddenly heard a loud "crack". She looked back suddenly and saw a crack suddenly appeared in the void, as sharp as a blade, passing through the air like lightning. A strong suction force surged out of the crack, sucking in the surrounding ancient trees, vegetation, mud and rocks, and instantly turning them into ashes.
"What is this?" Lu Xuanxin muttered to herself, her face pale with fear. Her heartbeat accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
"This is a space crack. If you enter it by mistake, you may be shattered by the power of space." A deep and magnetic voice sounded in her ears. Then, a warm embrace hugged her tightly, as if to take her away from this dangerous world.
"Huang? You're here?" Although Lu Xuanxin was surprised by Zihuang's appearance, she was more worried about the strange scene in front of her. She looked up at Zihuang, with an uneasy light in her eyes.
Zi Huang's face was extremely handsome, and his eyes were deep and gentle. He hugged Lu Xuanxin tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his own bones and blood.
"This is a space crack. Can it travel through time and space?" Lu Xuanxin looked at the crack that swallowed everything and returned to a peaceful void, with a gleam of curiosity in her eyes. She even wondered if she could also go to a mysterious place through this crack...
"No!" Zi Huang seemed to see through her thoughts. He hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Your body cannot withstand the impact of the force of space, and this crack leads to the True Spirit Continent."
Lu Xuanxin shrank his neck, turned around to look at Zi Huang's beautiful face, and suddenly smiled. Her smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and bright.
"How did you recognize me? I've changed my appearance now." She asked curiously, with a mischievous gleam in her eyes.
Zi Huang's voice was slightly hoarse, and he looked at Lu Xuanxin affectionately: "No matter where you are, no matter what you look like, I can always find you among the vast crowd."
Lu Xuan felt warm in her heart, and felt that this sentence was familiar. She looked up at Zi Huang, her eyes full of tenderness: "Why did you come now?"
"Is it my fault that I came late?" Zi Huang asked softly, with a hint of apology and self-blame in his voice.
"Hmph!" Lu Xuanxin pouted in dissatisfaction. Why wasn't he by her side when she was injured and fleeing? Her heart was filled with grievances and dissatisfaction.
Seeing her like this, Zi Huang couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her red lips. This kiss was lingering and affectionate, as if he wanted to turn all the longing for reunion after a long separation into this kiss.
In fact, Zi Huang has been secretly protecting Lu Xuanxin, and he feels heartbroken watching her go through hardships. But he knows that Lu Xuanxin needs to grow up, so he can only support and protect her silently in the dark.
After the kiss, Zi Huang suddenly let go of Lu Xuanxin, took her hand, and used his spiritual sense to explore her body. His eyes became serious, as if he had discovered something incredible.
"You are actually cultivating demonic energy?" Zi Huang's voice contained a hint of shock and confusion.
Lu Xuanxin looked at him blankly: "What's wrong? Can't I practice? Didn't you give me the Demon Yuan Heavenly Bead so that I could practice?" Her eyes were full of doubts and confusion.
Zi Huang frowned, a trace of pain and worry flashed in his eyes: "Who asked you to practice the magic power? Practicing this is entering the devil's way. Do you know what the devil is?" There was a hint of anxiety and worry in his voice.
"I know, you are the devil, aren't you?" Lu Xuanxin said indifferently. Her eyes were clear and bright, as if she didn't understand the true meaning of the devil element.
Zi Huang was choked by her words, staring at her with wide eyes as if he wanted to swallow her. His heart was filled with helplessness and anxiety. He knew that Lu Xuanxin was simple-minded and did not understand the danger of the magic element, so he could only patiently persuade her to give up practicing the magic element. However, Lu Xuanxin did not realize the danger, and just muttered that practicing the magic element was not a big deal. This made Zi Huang even more helpless and worried. He knew that he had to work harder to protect her and prevent her from falling into the abyss of the magic path.
Zi Huang suddenly hugged Lu Xuanxin tightly, his heart aching so much that his tall body trembled slightly, as if he was in great pain. His arms were as solid as steel, locking Lu Xuanxin tightly in his arms, allowing her to feel his deep worry and uneasiness.
"Huang, what's wrong with you?" Lu Xuanxin was extremely surprised. She tried to push Zi Huang away, but found that his strength was so great that she couldn't shake him at all. She looked up at Zi Huang and saw that his eyes were deep and complicated, as if hiding endless secrets and pain.
"If you don't like practicing magic power, then I won't practice it. Please don't do this anymore, okay?" Zi Huang said gently, his voice was low and magnetic, with a barely perceptible tremor.
"I heard that you are a demon. I am willing to follow you and enter the demon path together." Lu Xuanxin looked at Zihuang firmly. There was a resolute light flashing in her eyes, as if she was ready to face everything with Zihuang.
Zi Huang suddenly let go of her, lowered his head and kissed her lips fiercely. This kiss was both overbearing and punishing, and also contained deep heartache. His kiss was as fierce as a storm, making Lu Xuanxin feel suffocated.
"When are you going to stop?" Lu Xuanxin asked, panting, her cheeks flushed and her eyes flashing with shyness and dissatisfaction.
Zi Huang tried to get closer several times, but was gently pushed away by Lu Xuanxin. She scolded, "Are you going to kiss me forever?" There was a hint of coquettishness and helplessness in her voice, as if she felt helpless and amused by Zi Huang's overbearing behavior.
Zi Huang's voice was low and hoarse. He swallowed and looked at Lu Xuanxin affectionately: "Even if it takes forever, I am willing." There was a firm light in his eyes, as if he was ready to spend his life with Lu Xuanxin.
"Stop it!" Lu Xuanxin instinctively backed away, afraid of his aggressive gaze. Her heartbeat accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She didn't understand why Zi Huang suddenly became so overbearing and out of control.
Zihuang hugged her in his arms again and said softly, "Xuanxin, you don't remember the past now. You don't know what happened back then." There was a hint of pain and helplessness in his voice.
"When I practiced the devil energy, it was actually an accident. The devil energy contains the power of tyranny and destruction. The deeper you practice, the easier it is to lose your original heart, and eventually become a demon who only knows how to kill." Zi Huang's voice was low and hoarse, and he seemed to be lost in memories.
"In order to suppress my evil nature, you exhausted your life's cultivation and sealed me in the ancient well. But..." Zi Huang said this with fear in his voice and his body trembling slightly. He seemed to remember the dark time when he was sealed, and his heart was filled with fear and anxiety.
Lu Xuanxin's heart also tightened, as if something was trying to break free from her heart. She hugged Zi Huang tightly, as if she wanted to give him some comfort and strength.
"What happened next?" This was the first time she heard about these past events. When she asked about them before, Zi Huang always answered her perfunctorily with "You'll know later." Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and anticipation.
"It took me 50,000 years to finally suppress the evil nature. It was not until you came back that I broke the seal and came out." Zi Huang continued, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.
"What...what? Fifty thousand years?" Lu Xuanxin raised her head in shock, pointing at Zi Huang's still handsome face and was speechless. Her eyes flashed with incredible light, as if she couldn't believe what Zi Huang said.
"Do you think I'm too old?" Zi Huang smiled and touched her forehead, his smile was full of self-mockery and helplessness. He knew that his age was an unacceptable reality for Lu Xuanxin.
"Not old? Fifty thousand years, how many reincarnations would that take?" Lu Xuanxin asked in disbelief. Her eyes were gleaming with confusion and bewilderment, as if she couldn't understand the long years that Zi Huang had gone through.
Zi Huang did not continue the topic, but turned back to the matter of cultivating the magic essence. His eyes became deep and complicated, as if hiding endless secrets and pain.
"Now you know how terrible the demonic energy is, right? I didn't tell you before because without the demonic skills, it would be difficult for you to practice the righteous way, and you could only train your body. But I didn't expect..." Zi Huang stopped here, his eyes flashing with pain and helplessness.
"Where did you get the technique?" Lu Xuanxin asked curiously. Her eyes were gleaming with curiosity, as if she wanted to know more of the truth.
"Can't I practice without the technique?" Zi Huang asked back. There was a hint of sarcasm and helplessness in his voice. He knew that Lu Xuanxin didn't know much about practice, but he couldn't tell her more of the truth.
