Chapter 197

"Even after death, the soul will be trapped in the curse seal, and after living through thousands of years, it will rot and dissipate with the corpse."

"This is an extremely vicious technique!"

Hearing this, everyone felt cold all over when they looked at the skeleton again.

Immediately after, they felt unprecedented anger.

Zhongli hammered the ground hard, suppressing his anger:

"Killing is just a matter of cutting off the head! Why be so vicious!"

"Old man, in this Nine Nether Secret Realm, to be so conscience-less and master such a technique, I think it can only be a demon beast."

Venti also shook his head sadly.

After coming to the Nine Nether Secret Realm, the cruelty of the cultivation world was displayed before them.

To be honest, Venti had lived for so long and had never seen a place more vicious than the cultivation world.

For a time, everyone didn't know how to express their feelings when facing this skeleton.

"Come and see here!"

Suddenly, Alice pointed to the wall behind the skeleton.

Everyone crossed the skeleton and leaned over.

Those were some characters they couldn't understand, all carved with blood, three points into the wood. The desolate and desperate artistic conception instantly surged into everyone's mind.

Subconsciously, everyone seemed to see a seriously injured and dying Shushan cultivator, with great hatred, carving these words with blood.

Zhongli raised his hand and gently pressed toward the words. The power spanning hundreds of years transmitted the information of the words into his mind.

Zhongli saw what happened here in the past in a daze.

That Shushan disciple was rotting all over, looking terrifying.

He bit his finger hard and wrote these last words word by word.

Zhongli read it out subconsciously.

"Ancestors of Shushan, Sect Leader, Master, Longshou Peak disciple Xuan Xing's last words."

"The disciple was reckless, violated the master's orders, and after being seriously injured, insisted on continuing to explore the Nine Nether. In the end, I encountered disaster. This situation is all due to the disciple's carelessness and reckless actions."

"However, the disciple has no regrets, because Junior Sister Xuan Xiao was harmed by a villain with the Thirteen Soul-Startling Curse. The Junior Sister was in great danger, how could the disciple sit idly by?"

"In the Nine Nether, there is Soul-Condensing Grass growing in the forbidden area of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. The disciple had to break in."

"Fortunately, the Dao favored me, and the disciple obtained it. However, Xuan Xing was careless and was harmed by the Demon King Green Wind Cow, and was hit by its Soul-Devouring Curse."

"The disciple feels powerless to return to heaven, only entrusting Junior Brothers Xuan Ming and Xuan Qing to bring the Soul-Condensing Grass back."

"After a bitter fight, the Green Wind Cow was seriously injured by the disciple, but the disciple's time is also running out."

"The disciple's death is a small matter, but the Junior Sister's life is a big matter."

"Master, unfilial disciple Xuan Xing writes these last words today. Xuan Xing has failed the master's high expectations and cannot fulfill filial piety in the future."

"However, Xuan Xing has no regrets. Master often says that Shushan disciples are all brothers and sisters."

"If relatives are in trouble, if Xuan Xing is cold-blooded and ruthless and unwilling to fight, what is the use of cultivating the Immortal Dao?"

"The human Dao is vast, and the love and righteousness are three thousand."

"Trading Xuan Xing's life for Junior Sister's life, Xuan Xing is satisfied with his life."

"Only bitter is my unborn spirit beast Azure Phoenix. Xuan Xing has failed the master and failed the Azure Phoenix in this life."

"Future disciples who come here must take the Azure Phoenix away. In this way, Xuan Xing can die without regrets."

"Shushan Longshou Peak Wine Sword Immortal Mo Yixi's direct disciple, Xuan Xing's last words."

124. A wave of wealth, returning to Shushan

Subconsciously following the picture in his consciousness, he read the words on it.

Zhongli's eyes trembled, and he turned his head to look.

"This is... my senior brother?"

Everyone was silent.

After this text, everyone also understood the skeleton's identity.

Wine Sword Immortal Mo Yixi's third disciple in the past, Xuan Xing.

To save his junior sister, he went deep into the Nine Nether to find Soul-Condensing Grass, but was ambushed by a demon king and died.

This kind of love and righteousness is truly sigh-worthy.

His situation also made everyone feel sad.

Wine Sword Immortal Mo Yixi's direct disciple, that was a proper genius.

As a result, he fell in a place where he shouldn't have stopped...

Such a situation is truly heartbreaking.

"Head..."

Xiao looked at the skeleton with complex feelings.

Zhongli was silent for a long time and sighed:

"Although I haven't seen Master Mo Yixi, nor have I seen this Senior Brother Xuan Xing."

"But we are all of the same line, and he is also our senior from Longshou Peak."

"Collect him, and consult the Sect Leader later to see if he can be brought back to Shushan for a thick burial."

Xiao also felt that Zhongli was a bit sad, nodded, and walked over without saying a word.

Gently moving this skeleton.

But when Xiao moved it away, he inadvertently saw a strange dark compartment under Xuan Xing.

"Head! There seems to be something here!"

Xiao shouted, and everyone hurriedly leaned over.

On the ground was a square vacancy, which seemed to be just enough to accommodate a token.

Just...

Token?

Everyone was surprised and looked at the disciple tokens hanging on each other's waists.

Zhongli took off the token uncertainly and placed it in it.

The next moment, a faint stream of light resonated between Xuan Xing's token and Zhongli's token.

Immediately after, the ground slowly revealed an exquisite jade box.

For a time, everyone didn't dare to touch it.

Suddenly, Jiang Yan's sigh sounded.

"Junior Brother Xuan Xing really took great pains..."

Everyone was stunned and hurriedly said:

"Sect Leader."

Jiang Yan's figure appeared, looking at the jade box with complex eyes.

"Sect Leader, this is..."

Zhongli asked with some doubt.

Jiang Yan said slowly:

"This is a formation mechanism cast by Junior Brother Xuan Xing with his own final soul power."

"Future Shushan disciples come here to find him, and by placing their own tokens in it, they can connect to his token to open the mechanism."

"If unfortunately found by a demon beast, putting his own token into it will trigger the jade box's self-destruction device, and everything here will be turned into ashes."

"Junior Brother Xuan Xing went to such great lengths, not hesitating to let his soul fly away to cast this mechanism. I think there must be something very important inside."

"Head Zhongli, open it."

Zhongli was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

Placing his hand on the seamless jade box, he probed with his true essence.

The next moment, the jade box bloomed like a flower.

Slowly, a small flying sword appeared before everyone's eyes.

It looked like a small hairpin.

But the spiritual energy and sharpness lingering on it were truly shocking.

"So that's how it is..."
