Chapter 459: Calculating Immortals; Xie Guan Ends (2k, Seeking Follow-up Reading)
【Lu Hua and the other left, finally reminding you at the time of parting.】
【"The Small Saint Manor west of Above Bianjing is the station of the Three Truths. If you have thought it through and changed your mind, come here; it can protect your safety."】
【The female Daoist was surprised to hear this. This is the most secret matter of the Three Truths Sect now, and the message revealed by this sentence is extraordinary.】
【In Above Bianjing, where there are great grandmasters of the world like Prime Minister Su and the Third Master, the only possibility to protect Xie Guan is one.】
【Ancestor Dongxuan, one of the Ten Great Sects of the World, has come to Above Bianjing!】
【You nodded slightly and sent the two out of the small courtyard.】
【Lu Hua's face was hesitant, and she finally spoke: "If I am unfortunate on this trip, there is still the Three Truths Sect that can collect my bones."】
【"You are dead, who will collect your bones?"】
【You laughed, "Alone, wherever I die, I will be buried there."】
【Lu Hua looked at you deeply and left wearing her bamboo hat.】
【You looked at the departing back of the two. It was already afternoon, but the sky was becoming brighter, as if the sun of noon had suddenly fallen back into the human world.】
【Parasol went to the General Sima family to see the Fourth Cousin with Lady Ruan today, and should return in the afternoon.】
【You were just thinking, when you saw Parasol pulling Lady Ruan walking over.】
【But your eyes suddenly froze; behind the two women, another person was following.】
【That was a middle-aged man wearing a moon-white Confucian robe. The fabric had been washed until it was slightly white, but it set off his entire demeanor like ancient jade shining. His features were not outstanding, but when put together, they reminded people of the distant mountains after snow, giving people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.】
【This person seemed to be laughing and talking with Parasol.】
【Parasol greeted with a smile, "Young Master, this gentleman said he was looking for you, so I brought him here."】
【The middle-aged man smiled slightly, his voice as warm as spring stream ice breaking: "Xie Guan, long time no see!"】
【The moment the words fell, the autumn sounds in the courtyard suddenly froze.】
【Parasol's smile also froze, and Lady Ruan's curious eyes stopped while examining him.】
【The wind and fallen leaves around were all fixed in the air, and the world seemed to be splashed into an ink painting.】
【"Boom—"】
【The nine swords in your heart sea all bloomed with brilliance, your blood flowed like a river, and the true Qi in your dantian surged.】
【You were facing a formidable enemy!】
【"I'm here to kill you." The man walked in slowly and laughed, as if saying today's wind is clear and the sun is bright, "You seem very surprised?"】
【Only hearing him say lightly, "Martial arts are forbidden here!"】
【In an instant, your dantian was like being covered with a layer of frost, completely and firmly sealed. Not a single bit of true Qi could come out, and even the internal breath wandering between your meridians turned into stiff, dead snakes.】
【Before you could react, another voice: "Primordial Spirit is forbidden here!"】
【The nine Daoist swords in your heart sea wailed at the same time, and the "Divine Fire" extinguished with a "hiss."】
【Martial arts... Primordial Spirit, both completely forbidden!】
【The middle-aged man tidied his sleeves, "Here...", his smile became more gentle, "I am the only exception!"】
【You have already recognized this person, the Third Master of the academy.】
【An unprecedented sense of oppression made you unable to move even your fingertips.】
【This is the helplessness of facing the Ten Great Sects of the World head-on!】
【The Third Master walked slowly, his steps seeming to have rhythm, "Characters on the stage have entrances and exits, and characters in storybooks also have endings."】
【"Xie Guan," he suddenly stopped, "Have you anticipated your ending?"】
【"It should end." He had already brushed past you.】
【As the Confucian robe fluttered, only a judgment was left: "Here, no one shall survive."】
【After speaking, Parasol and Lady Ruan were pulled out of the freeze, and the solidified time and space suddenly shattered.】
【Parasol and Lady Ruan staggered out like broken puppets,】
【"Young Master—!"】
【Parasol's crying voice suddenly tore through the dead silence, the girl's voice filled with despair. She watched helplessly as your face twisted and your seven orifices bled; that green robe had long been soaked in scarlet, fluttering in the wind like a blood banner.】
【She staggered and wanted to pounce, but the moment she took a step!】
【"Hiss—"】
【Invisible sharp blades cut through the air, the girl's body suddenly stiffened, and then, countless fine blood lines bloomed on her skin, as if being cut by thousands of invisible blades at the same time.】
【She opened her mouth, but only a large amount of blood gushed out, and finally she fell to the ground like a broken porcelain doll, turning into a blood-stained shell.】
【Not far away, Lady Ruan's broken body crawled in a pool of blood. Her lower body had long disappeared, and only her head and shoulders were struggling to support her, her unfocused pupils staring dead at the Confucian robe that was drifting away.】
【"Academy..."】
The great cauldron rang out, revealing ten thousand zhang of rosy light!
Yu Ke looked at the characters on the great cauldron, stunned for a moment.
Is this the end?
What happened? The unexpected arrival of the Third Master personally ended the life of "Xie Guan."
The might of a great grandmaster of the world is so terrifying; Xie Guan's current cultivation doesn't even have the ability to fight back.
This shouldn't be!
The Kunxu Cauldron would predict in advance between every life and death, and then give options.
How could it be like this, without any prediction, suddenly becoming like this.
Has this life of "Heavenly Human Reincarnation" ended?
Only one step away from glimpsing the opportunity for ascension, and it failed at the last moment.
Moreover, after "personally participating" in this life, he truly had a sense of participation.
Xie Guan still has great hatred that has not been avenged!
The great cauldron rang again, the ancient patterns on it floating like fish scales, purple Qi surging on it, filled with chaotic airflow.
"Dang—"
It seemed to ring in the future, and it seemed to come from the ancient times!
Academy, Cultivation Building, Fifth Floor Pavilion.
Xie Hong's withered body was trembling violently.
Two lines of blood tears snaked down from his turbid eyes, like the size of soybeans.
"Plop," "Plop," they hit the rice paper, blooming into shocking red plum blossoms.
He hunched his back, and his originally sparse, graying temples turned completely white in an instant, as if a sudden frost had destroyed the withered grass, and heavy snow had fallen.
Wrinkles crisscrossed his face like knife carvings, and his whole person seemed to have been suddenly drained of thirty years of time.
"Puff—"
Another mouthful of blood gushed out.
Xie Hong tremblingly raised the back of his hand to wipe it, only to see that the palm that had once held a brush was now covered with brown spots, the skin as thin as cicada wings, and the purple-blue blood vessels under the skin clearly visible.
He didn't even have the strength to hold a brush anymore.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Hehe."
A fit of coughing, he covered it with his hand.
When he opened his palm to look again, it was teeth that had fallen out.
Xie Hong smiled bitterly, "Is this the price of calculating immortals?"
"But this taste... has never been experienced before."
"Better than... the joy of the human world."
He looked out the window. I don't know when, but the celestial phenomenon had changed suddenly.
The clear sky had now turned into pitch black like overturned ink.
Lightning snakes danced wildly in the clouds, and the thick dark clouds were like the collapse of the Nine Heavens, pressing heavily on the flying eaves and corners of Above Bianjing City.
Black clouds press on the city, the city is about to be destroyed!
PS: Ascension is about to begin, people from all walks of life are appearing, let's see how Xie Guan ascends!
