Chapter 159: Xuanzhen Sect Collapse

Contrasting with Cui Jingzhong's shock and loss of composure was Qiao Ting's face, which had remained expressionless from beginning to end.

"A person from the mountains and wilderness, truly vulgar, wasting a cup of good tea in vain.

But thinking about it, even if you drink it, you are just a cow chewing peonies, unable to taste any flavor. In this way, it seems to be no different?"

Qiao Ting frowned slightly and said:

"Bypassing my Little Xiao Xiao Meishan where I usually learn the zither, walking to White Sun Waterfall, are you going to the warehouse to get spiritual medicine? Since that's the case, and you have finished drinking tea, then leave quickly, don't stay here and be an eyesore."

This kind of mean language was something Cui Jingzhong was used to, his expression did not fluctuate, and he did not get angry at all.

He was just a bit confused...

But not having to sit and wither with Qiao Ting here was also a lucky thing for Cui Jingzhong.

So he nodded repeatedly, pulled Chen Hang, and was about to walk out of the pavilion.

"I said you can go, not him."

Qiao Ting's long eyelashes lifted slightly, like black butterflies flapping their wings:

"I haven't finished talking about the matter between him and me, but that has nothing to do with you, Cui Jingzhong."

"Wait, are you deliberately blocking Chen Chen Shidi?"

Cui Jingzhong was stunned, and then realized it.

The alchemy hall has restrictions personally laid down by the Zhenjun. Except for him, no one can easily enter, even Qiao Ting cannot.

And Qiao Ting usually only plays music at Little Xiao Xiao Meishan.

But this time she bypassed Little Xiao Xiao Meishan and met Qiao Ting...

The thoughts contained in this are already self-evident.

"But, but..."

Cui Jingzhong couldn't help but hesitate. He said: "But Chen Chen Shidi, he..."

"Do I eat people, or do I drink blood usually? No matter what, he is also a person valued by the Zhenjun. I won't do anything to him."

Qiao Ting was finally impatient: "If there is any offensive language, I will forgive him, okay? Are you relieved? If you are relieved, then get away!"

Cui Jingzhong heard this, and the expression on his face finally relaxed slightly.

He gave Chen Hang a cautious look before moving away step by step...

"I don't know what the Zhenjun valued him for. Even his cultivation was obtained by taking external pills, his potential is exhausted, I fear he can't even practice the side-door Primordial Spirit."

After Cui Jingzhong's figure disappeared, a trace of undisguised disgust flashed in Qiao Ting's eyes, then she looked at Chen Hang and said coldly:

"In these few days, you have been refining pills with Cui Jingzhong in the alchemy hall. Why, did you gain nothing? Asking him for advice is truly climbing a tree to catch a fish."

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Cui is a master of heaven and man, and his alchemy attainment is even more mysterious and refined. I only hate that my aptitude is dull and I cannot fully understand the wonderful words. It is truly a pity."

Chen Hang smiled slightly, said.

Qiao Ting was blocked by these words, and her face became unhappy.

She saw that the person opposite, although his face was hideous, his features were exquisite like a master's painting, and his outline was outstanding.

When raising his eyes to look.

His temperament was cold and indifferent, like the wind and dew in late autumn, frost on the tips, giving people an inexplicable sense of being out of place and dusty.

Qiao Ting frowned imperceptibly.

This strange touch made her quite suspicious in her heart, but she was self-respecting and lazy to ask more, as that would lose her status.

"Drink tea."

She turned her gaze and said lightly.

"I don't know how to interpret the marriage contract mentioned by the noble lady earlier?"

Chen Hang did not pick up the tea cup: "Is it related to that beast-head token?"

"Since you know that Yin Erosion Yin Shi Hong Shui is my father's inheritance, I think Cui Jingzhong must have told you?"

Qiao Ting suddenly sneered:

"My father has always been arrogant and reckless, ignoring clan rituals and laws. In those years, he left words with the Zhenjun: whoever can break his layout and take his Yin Erosion Yin Shi Hong Shui can marry into the Mishan Qiao family and take me as his wife. That beast-head token is the token!

It sounds like a great husband, heroic and dry, but he treated me, Qiao Ting, as a commodity that can be traded at will, without caring about my personal thoughts. How shameful and absurd!"

"Then the noble lady came specifically this time to ask me to refuse this marriage?"

Chen Hang opened his mouth clearly.

"You are ugly, and you have no family or sect to rely on. I am a noble lady of a famous family, how can I be willing to marry you?"

A trace of cold mockery flashed on her beautiful jade face, then disappeared, saying lightly:

"The Zhenjun will summon you in a few days. At that time, he will definitely mention this marriage. I want you to refuse it yourself, and you must not agree!"

Of course.

Returning the favor, I will naturally give you some compensation."

Qiao Ting clapped her fair hands lightly.

The maids serving outside the pavilion understood and entered, revealing the jade boxes in their hands one by one, shining brightly and very gorgeously.

"Fifty thousand spiritual shells, ten high-grade talisman artifacts, three treasure sand dragon buds that can extend vitality, and my Mishan Qiao family's 'Tan Hua Nine Essentials Heart Seal Wonderful Scripture.' This classic is enough for you to practice to the Primordial Spirit Realm."

At this time.

Qiao Ting's tone slowed down slightly, as if she didn't want to force it too much, and ended up with the opposite result:

"I don't know what great enemy you encountered before, but the sword the Zhenjun slashed for you has slightly damaged his divine stabilization. In the final analysis, I think it is nothing more than seeing that you have that beast-head token and can marry into the Mishan Qiao family!

Don't be obsessed and greedy.

If you are determined to have this marriage, in the end, you will only end up with nothing.

After all.

The Zhenjun cannot look after you all the time!"

After saying this implicit threat.

Qiao Ting said again:

"These are just deposits. If you agree, I will have a thick reward later."

Seeing the silence opposite.

Qiao Ting waited patiently for a long time, just about to speak, when she was interrupted by Chen Hang.

"Wealth is unnecessary."

Qiao Ting frowned, and anger rose in her heart, her five fingers clenched, shouting: "How dare you—"

"As for the so-called marriage, if the Zhenjun asks, I will naturally refuse with all my strength."

Chen Hang didn't seem to see Qiao Ting's expression that was about to break out, and said indifferently.

This remark made her jade face change several times, her red lips opened and closed, and she was stunned for a moment.

"I heard from Ding Wei that you are just from a small sect outside the Earth Abyss. Don't be impulsive, you will regret it later... Not to mention anything else, just this volume of 'Tan Hua Nine Essentials Heart Seal Wonderful Scripture' is a fortune that most cultivators cannot touch in their lifetime."

After a while.

Qiao Ting restrained the surprise on her face, looked at Chen Hang deeply, and said lightly:

"It's not too late for you to accept these riches now. I will just pretend I didn't hear those crazy words. If you regret it later and come to ask me, that will be truly ridiculous and contemptible!"

"Thank you for the reminder, but it is unnecessary. The marriage mentioned by the noble lady is an absurd act and cannot be counted. And since there is no merit, naturally there is no reward."

Chen Hang gathered his long sleeves, bowed, and left immediately, without lingering.

Qiao Ting didn't have time to say anything more.

He had already walked out of the pavilion, and his figure disappeared.

The scene was silent for a while.

Until the tea on the table had completely cooled, without a trace of heat.

A maid carefully lowered her head and said softly to Qiao Ting, whose expression was gloomy:

"Young lady, that person actually agreed to you and will refuse the marriage in front of the Zhenjun. Isn't this a good thing? Why are you still unhappy?"

"Since he wants to refuse the marriage, why not accept the reward? In my opinion, it is just playing hard to get!"

"Playing hard to get?" The maid was confused.

"He, Chen Hang, thinks that this kind of pretentious style can make me look at him highly, and then keep him in my heart? It is truly stupid. The country bumpkin is indeed short-sighted, without much knowledge, and deserves to lose both people and wealth!"

Qiao Ting looked coldly at the dense bamboo trees and the sky that could not be seen in front of her, and there was a hint of evil spirit in her voice:

"It would be fine if he obediently refused the marriage. If he dares to have any other actions in private, even if Cui Jingzhong wants to protect him, I swear I will kill him!"

Although she said so.

But thinking of Chen Hang's dark, indifferent eyes that didn't have any emotions.

Qiao Ting felt a burst of irritability and anxiety again.

Clatter!

She suddenly waved her hand, sweeping the jade porcelain tea set on the table to the ground, smashing it to pieces!

Then she turned and left without a word.

A group of maids had long been used to it, looked at each other, and hurriedly followed.

And elsewhere.

Chen Hang walked slowly along the stone steps, the lush grass and trees on both sides rustled, and he couldn't help but think in his heart.

"Qiao Zhenjun saved me from Yue You's hands, is it because of my background, Ding Xian's talisman, or Qiao Zhijie's beast-head token? And my background..."

At this moment, a call interrupted his thoughts.

When he raised his eyes.

He saw Cui Jingzhong holding several wooden boxes, waving at him.

"Thinking more is useless. In a few days, when Qiao Zhenjun sees me, everything will naturally be revealed..."

He put away his thoughts, walked forward, and shook his head with a smile:

"Refining the Red Lead Great Return Pill is the right thing to do. Having Xiao Xiao Shixiong Cui, a master of alchemy, to guide me, this is a rare opportunity that cannot be missed!"

And at the same time.

Earth Abyss.

Little Gan Mountain, Xuanzhen Sect.

Blood evil soaring to the sky, smoke and dust rolling.

Eleven peaks, nine large cliffs, and twenty waterfalls and pools have been destroyed by more than half.

Looking from afar, I saw countless corpses, collapsed palaces, and collapsed walls.

In the atmosphere, the fierce fire and the turbid fishy blood smell were mixed together, making people want to vomit.

In a green circle of light, Hearing Ai Jian and Chen Ying stood side by side, looking at this tragic scene.

One looked panicked.

The other had a plain expression, but a trace of helplessness flashed in the bottom of his eyes, and then disappeared in an instant.

"Really dead, I really killed Sima Lingzhen, killed the patrolling Daoist of the Yuchen Sect..."

After a long shock and silence.

Hearing Ai Jian staggered back a few steps, his face pale, bloodshot eyes dense, and he spat out a few words from his mouth tremblingly like a murmur.

"Now, I have cut myself off from the world..."

He said complexly.

The most eye-catching thing in the field of vision was a Daoist in high crown and gorgeous clothes lying dead under the hillside, still tightly holding a broken White Tiger Dharma Sword in his hand.

And in his body, there was a blood shadow full of evil spirit, greedily devouring the Daoist's flesh and blood and true essence, not willing to stop until he was sucked into a dry skeleton.

That Daoist in high crown and gorgeous clothes.

It was the patrolling Daoist responsible for the Southern Domain Dao pulse examination of the Yuchen Sect—Sima Lingzhen!

As for the blood shadow...

Hearing Ai Jian suddenly shivered and looked at Chen Ying.

At this time, the fierce blood shadow in Chen Ying's left eye had broken away from the seal and disappeared.

The light in his eyes was dark and inexplicable.

Like a man-eating beast after a full meal, showing joy.

It also seemed like a kind of helplessness after making a decision, unable to look back...

"Why, Ai brother, do you regret it now?"

Sensing Hearing Ai Jian's gaze, Chen Ying turned around, patted his shoulder, and said lightly:

"Isn't it because Sima Lingzhen, this stupid thing, deliberately humiliated you and mentioned Wang Shu and your master, which caused you to be angry and ask me to take action and kill this stupid thing?

Thinking about it carefully, this is not surprising. It is nothing more than the authorities being confused and the bystanders being clear.

Sima Lingzhen is now a capable general under Xie Chang, and Xie Chang wants to be promoted to a true disciple of the Yuchen Sect, naturally needing the help of elders in the sect. That Gu Zhao, who has a deep hatred with your master, must be Xie Chang's target for solicitation."

"... And I am now exiled to the Southern Domain, with no foundation in the sect. Sima Lingzhen humiliates me, not only will there be no trouble, but on the contrary, if it spreads to the Yuchen Sect, it will make that old dog Gu Zhao happy and throw himself under Xie Chang's command."

Hearing Ai Jian said with a pale face, word by word:

"Sima Lingzhen is of the same generation as me, and both are from noble families. Even if the Shangyu Ai family knows, they won't stand up for me too much, right?"

"They all say that you, Ai brother, are a reckless man without wisdom. It seems that you still have some brains, but not much."

Chen Ying laughed and clapped his hands:

"It's a pity that this time killing Sima Lingzhen harmed Hou Wen. He hasn't said a word since entering your sect.

But because of Sima Lingzhen, this stupid thing, he was also sucked empty of half his essence and blood by the blood demon I released. It is truly the city gate catching fire, harming the fish in the moat...

I only hope that this injury will not damage his Dao foundation, otherwise Chen would truly be unable to sleep at night and feel ashamed."

"Wrong!"

Hearing Ai Jian suddenly shouted, interrupting Chen Ying: "Even if I am angry, I would never ask you to take action and kill Sima Lingzhen! It's you! Chen Ying! It's you!"

He held the Silver Eye Sword in his hand, stepped forward, his eyes splitting:

"It was you who used the Phantom Demon's great technique to disturb my mind! You are the culprit!"

Under this murderous gaze, Chen Ying just chuckled, noncommittal.

"..."

After a long struggle and hesitation.

Hearing Ai Jian finally slowly restrained his sharp sword intent and abandoned the sword dejectedly.

Not to mention that he couldn't beat Chen Ying's spiritual body now.

And even if he killed him.

I fear it would be of no use...

Sima Lingzhen died in his Xuanzhen Sect. If it spreads, it will inevitably provoke the anger of the Tangting Sima family and Xie Chang.

Unless he hides in the Shangyu Ai family, otherwise this life will definitely not be saved.

And since his biological father died.

He had already broken with the clan...

Rather than living like that, Hearing Ai Jian would rather die happily!

"It seems you have thought it through? Except for me, I fear there is no place for you in these Nine Provinces and Four Seas. Don't worry, it's just two disciples of the Yuchen Sect, not true disciples. I can still handle it."

Chen Ying smiled when he saw this:

"My father almost provoked all the eight sects and six sects in those years, and isn't he still living well now?"

Hearing Ai Jian's face was ugly: "People have already been killed, what are you staying here for, why don't you leave? If the news spreads to the Yuchen Sect, it will inevitably provoke Xie Chang's anger!"

"Don't worry, I want to leave too, but someone hasn't killed enough yet and doesn't want to leave."

Chen Ying shook his head helplessly and pointed to the blood shadow devouring Sima Lingzhen's corpse:

"This beast is out of control."
