Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 346 Rebellion against Tiangang

"Sir, when the disciples of the Xianzong and Lu Wensheng arrived, the Niangniang Temple was gone... The things you said were good..."

Not long ago, this dignified abbot, with his shiny belly, held a golden bowl to accept worship from believers. Now, his body wrapped in a tattered cassock is as shriveled as dried bacon, and really looks like a clay Buddha with the paint peeled off. He is no longer as round as before, and his voice is hoarse, which shows that he has suffered a lot.

Shi Yubai gently stroked the sword mark on his chest - that was the penetrating wound left by Liu Jiqian's attack before.

His fingertips stroked the hideous scar through the fabric, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. He suddenly laughed softly: "I think I did say that."

"Keng——"

The sudden sound of a sword rang out, and the cold light of the unsheathed sword startled the crows on the branches. The crows' feathers seemed to be frozen in mid-air, and when those dark wings swept across the sky, the twilight suddenly darkened for a moment.

Before the monk could react, red lines appeared on his neck.

His cloudy pupils reflected the scene of his headless body crashing to the ground. The last thing he heard was Shi Yubai's whisper with a smile: "Okay, I wish you can preach - go to the Western Paradise first, isn't that what you want?"

Shi Yubai's movement of swinging the sword was as graceful as splashing ink. The blood beads raised by the sword tip drew a red necklace in the setting sun, and the turbid pupils reflecting the headless corpse were frozen into eternity. Watching the monk's head being separated, Shi Yubai shook off the blood on the sword with disdain.

Densely packed cinnabar talismans appeared from the inside of the monk's robes. Each talisman was wrapped with a woman's black hair, emitting faint green phosphorescent light in the twilight. He crushed a dying relic with the sole of his white boots and sneered as he heard the faint cries of a baby coming from under his feet.

"You call yourself a demon monk. Not to mention getting rid of Lu Wensheng, it took you a long time. Are you worthy of my support to preach?"

He turned around and told his men: "Don't waste the old bald donkey's body, deal with it."

"Send your five internal organs to the soul-refining cauldron, and make your skull into a heart-knocking chime - and also ask me to go back and listen to the wonderfulness of this Buddhist teaching."

"Yes."

His hand touched the place where he was pierced by Liu Jiqian, and it seemed that it still hurt slightly. Shi Yubai's fingertips gently pressed the scar, as if he was feeling the lingering sword energy of that day. The emotions in his eyes were increasingly filled with boredom, and even mixed with a trace of imperceptible anxiety.

What Min Xiao discussed with him seemed different from the reality... How could Liu Jiqian be possessed by a demon like that? !

It's infuriating to say the least. Shi Yubai originally wanted to draw out Liu Jiqian's deepest obsessions and desires, but he didn't expect...

The possessed Liu Jiqian said nothing, but just kept chasing him and killing him - because of the integration of the remnant soul, Liu Jiqian's fighting power became even higher. With the cultivation level of Yuanying Great Perfection, he is top-notch among the younger generation in the world of cultivation. Even if Shi Yubai rode a rocket, he could not catch up with him. He could beat ten of him with one hand.

Shi Yubai had to praise his luck for being able to restrain him and send him back to Xuanyin Sect.

For a moment, he even felt that he was bringing opportunity to Liu Jiqian.

But Min Xiao just watched the fun and didn't mind making trouble, nor did he try to stop it. He just said lightly, "It will be very useful", as if it was enough for him to be alive, and he didn't care whether he lived or died.

Fortunately, Shi Yubai had never counted on Min Xiao: he was not a fool, and Min Xiao's attitude towards him was just like sticking a "temporary tool" on his forehead. It was obvious that he had other intentions.

Otherwise, why would they simply worship him as a "demon"? And why would they eagerly send him resources to cultivate? Do they want him to be the worst person in the world, or do they have nothing better to do?

But he lacked all these. They were just using each other. He knew that his allies were all hiding evil intentions that were unknown to others.

But Shi Yubai didn't understand. He didn't seem to have time to do anything. Why did Liu Jiqian insist on killing him? And his personality became... a little hard to talk about.

This also led to Shi Yubai preferring to run around doing miscellaneous tasks rather than go back. However, Lu Wensheng and the others acted quickly and had already dealt with the Niangniang Temple, so he still needed to go back and discuss it with Min Xiao.

When they returned to Xuanyin Sect, it was already late in the evening. Under the pitch-black night, the palace of the demon clan looked particularly eerie.

The walls of the palace were covered with dark red vines, which were full of strange flowers and gave off a faint smell of blood. Inside the palace, the flickering candlelight reflected the hideous reliefs on the walls.

Shi Yubai's fingers were clasped on the damp stone wall, and the light spots from the depths of the cell flowed between his fingers. At just one glance, he couldn't take his eyes off the "moonlight" he saw.

Liu Jiqian's silver hair fell on his shoulders, and the ends of his hair shone with a moonlight-like luster. He wore a two-finger-wide plain gauze headband on his forehead, with a diamond-patterned cold jade embedded in the middle.

Sitting on a stone chair, although she was less gentle and dignified than usual, her appearance remained the same, with a jade-like and golden appearance. However, her originally inviolable temperament became extremely aggressive.

He supported his chin with one hand and placed the other hand casually on his knees, tapping them lightly with his slender fingertips. His posture was lazy and casual, with his legs crossed and the hem of his robe hanging down. It was out of tune with the coldness of the surroundings, but it also made the room suddenly brighter.

If Shi Yubai had not experienced the opponent's power, he would have been deceived by his appearance.

Those golden pupils were still captivating, but no longer gentle. Instead, they were a bit cold, making those golden pupils look like tempered glass, with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Shi Yubai suddenly recalled the first time he met Liu Jiqian. A hundred thousand monsters were rioting, and that man came stepping on broken jade. Wherever the sword passed, blood mist rose like clouds.

The bright red blood drops splashed on the frosty white collar, which was three times brighter than the rhododendrons all over the mountain. When Liu Jiqian turned around, his silver hair swept across the back of his hand, bringing the coolness of pine needles after the snow.

"What are you looking at?"

Liu Jiqian's voice was clear and cold, like jade shattered in a mountain stream.

The moonlight leaking through the skylight of the cell was like liquid mercury, climbing up the corner of Liu Jiqian's robe along the raised toes of his boots. The black iron chains jingled as he changed legs, startling the gecko that was napping in the corner. The moment the little thing fled in panic, it was frozen into ice crystals and shattered.

The moment he raised his eyes, his golden vertical pupils shrank like those of a cold-blooded animal, reflecting the candlelight like two poisoned scimitars, and his voice was light but fierce.

"If you look at it again, I'll dig out your eyes."

Liu Jiqian was not just talking, he was a man of action. Before he uttered the words, he maliciously instigated the residual soul that could not be suppressed by the shackles to exert force. By the time he finished speaking, Shi Yubai had been forced to retreat again and again and had to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.

Someone is clearly in jail, but now he acts like the master here, which is simply the opposite of what Tian Gang is doing.

Yes, Liu Jiqian was brought back, but no one could do anything to him and he could only be locked up - he had the remnant soul of the Demon Lord in his body, suppressing the demons, and his own cultivation was not weak. The well-known buffs after he was possessed by the devil were superimposed, which was like inviting back an ancestor.

From the perspective of Zhou Yuan, who was responsible for observing Liu Jiqian these days, he felt that Min Xiao and Shi Yubai were trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice.

Forget about using Liu Jiqian, the "mandate of heaven", to deal with Lu Wensheng, the variable... I'm afraid that before they can use Liu Jiqian, their Xuanyin Sect will have been dismantled.
