Rebirth and then become immortal

Chapter 3 Puppet

Tianxuan Sword Sect is located in the west of Dongzhou, on the endless sea. As the first sect of Dongzhou, they rule Dongzhou with absolute power, and they have always regarded themselves as the guardians of Dongzhou.

As orthodox monks, especially sword cultivators who enter the Tao with swords, they have only one attitude towards demonic cultivators, and that is to kill. Therefore, no demonic cultivator in Dongzhou has dared to make such a big move for a long time, and dare to blatantly kill so many people. Multiple people.

This news has spread throughout the Eastern Continent, and even the sects in several other continents have heard about it.

Mortal life is worthless. The leader of the Tianxuan Sword Sect was furious that someone slapped him in the face on his own territory. After finding out that this was just the work of a mere foundation-building demon cultivator, all the Tianxuan Sword Sect members were furious. The disciples of the Sword Sect are all gearing up to take action on this demonic cultivator so that they can stand out in the world of cultivation.

Except for Mo Yuan, the remaining ones who came out to investigate this time were not as good as Yun Tianqing, but they were all inner disciples. They actually came out with the attitude of "going out to relax".

As for Mo Yuan, as the first disciple of the outer sect, her role is to protect these inner sect disciples and prepare for her next sect election to enter the inner sect.

Yun Tianqing's status is the most noble among this group of people.

Naturally, she wouldn't let anything happen to Yun Tianqing.

But is the distance from here to the sect so far?
  They were flying with their swords in the vast sky, looking up at the dim night and down at the rolling clouds. Just as Mo Yuan was beating her heart, a disciple following behind suddenly said: "I feel like we have been flying for several times." It's been an hour, and the day is still gray."

Mo Yuan took a deep breath and tentatively popped up a basic little spell - Micro-Firefly to guide the way. This was the firefly she usually kept in the cave. After following her for a long time, she also gained some spirituality and could be used to find the way and provide lighting. What.

After a long time, Mo Yuan did not receive feedback from Firefly. She increased her spiritual power output and wanted to communicate with Firefly, but no matter how hard she tried, Firefly still did not respond to her.

"Sister, what are you looking for?"

Yun Tianqing's voice came from behind his ears, and his breath with a cold scent fell behind Mo Yuan's ears, causing goosebumps all over his body.

Mo Yuan's brain was working rapidly, and what was faster than her brain was her reaction. The natal spiritual sword appeared from her hand and stood between the two of them without hesitation.

At this time, Yun Tianqing no longer looked like the original girl, but her face was covered with a layer of black mist, and her whole body exuded a rotten smell. Green flames danced in her dark eyes: "Senior sister, what's wrong with you? .”

"...Demon cultivator!"

Mo Yuan gritted her teeth and wanted to take back the flying sword under her feet, but found that there was nothing under her feet. The junior brothers following behind her were nowhere to be found, but the bloody smell in the air made her aware of their fate.

This demonic cultivator is definitely not just a foundation builder as the elders say!

Damn it, how come that pill has no effect? ! Now how to do?
  In extreme fear, Mo Yuan bit the tip of her tongue and forced herself to calm down. She looked at the demon cultivator who seemed to be unprepared to do anything to her, and said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know... what does senior want to do, but he is possessed by me." After all, she is the daughter of Elder Yuanying of our sect. If something goes wrong with Junior Sister Yun, our sect will definitely do its best to hunt down the senior, and please understand the stakes."

"If senior is willing to let us go, I will definitely help cover senior's whereabouts when I go back and prevent anyone from setting foot there again."

While talking, Mo Yuan used a trace of spiritual power to search for the sound transmission stone in his storage ring. Elder Yun did not send a message, so Junior Sister Yun's life soul lamp should still be on.

"Then...that's not possible."

Yun Tianqing spoke, but what came out was a strange voice that was neither male nor female. The tone of the other person's words seemed to be chanting: "No one is coming, this won't work."

"Senior, if you have any needs, I...I will try my best to satisfy you!"

Mo Yuan went from being an orphan to becoming the number one person in the Tianxuan Sword Sect's outer sect. The hard work she put in and the hardships she put in were countless. She didn't want to die like this, even if she tried to save Yun Tianqing's life, even if she was killed. After the Tianxuan Sword Sect was expelled, she didn't want to die here.

"Ah... Really? You are such a good boy. Is there anything you can do to help me? Let me think about it."

The demon cultivator seemed to be thinking about something. Mo Yuan looked at Yun Tianqing, who was almost covered in flaws, and clenched the spiritual sword in her hand - what would happen if, if, if she launched an attack at this time.

Finally, Mo Yuan let go of her hand, and the spirit sword circled around her and made a mournful sword cry. She had lost the will to fight. She had never been a pure swordsman who was determined to make progress.

Just when her sword heart was broken and her cultivation was unstable, the demonic cultivator finally thought: "Then you should kill her first."

"what?!"

Mo Yuan, whose face turned red, looked at Yun Tianqing in disbelief. The demon cultivator also looked at her through Yun Tianqing's face, and his voice was still cheerful: "Kill her."

Mo Yuan took a few steps back, with a bit of struggle on his face. Seeing this, the demon cultivator leaned close to Mo Yuan's ear like a temptation: "You have other options, such as..."

The spirit sword that was originally guarding Mo Yuan was easily held in the hand of "Yun Tianqing" and handed to Mo Yuan: "Kill yourself."

Mo Yuan only felt that a long time had passed, so long that her Taoist heart was broken and her spiritual energy was disordered. Finally, she couldn't help but scream, grabbed the sword, and stabbed it directly into Yun Tianqing's body.

"...senior sister?"

The girl's weak and shocked voice woke up Mo Yuan. Mo Yuan did not dare to raise her head, but there was an invisible force that she could not resist controlling her. She watched Yun Tianqing die under her sword with a face full of pain.

"Do not……"

Blood spurted out from her mouth, and Mo Yuan collapsed on the ground. Her cultivation level fell step by step, from the original early stage of the Golden Core to a general foundation.

"Yeah, I thought you would struggle for a while, but I didn't expect you to make a decision so quickly."

Mo Yuan raised his head blankly and looked at the twisted black shadow in front of him.

Didn't she struggle?
  "Okay, the matter is over. Now let's talk about our cooperation. Soul Yi, come here."

Seeing her like this, Heiying lost the motivation to continue talking to her. Instead, he called out another person and asked him to come over and negotiate with Mo Yuan.

Xiao Qing sat at the door, waiting for Xiao Lan to come home.

Xiao Lan is very strange today.

He went out early, but now he hasn't come back even after eating. When he asked his parents, they just touched Xiao Qing's head and said something was wrong with her brother and told her not to worry.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Qing fell asleep leaning against the courtyard door, and then a slender figure came walking under the moonlight from a short distance away.

Xiao Lan bent down and picked up Xiao Qing, her movements were gentle, but Xiao Qing still woke up. She snuggled into Xiao Lan's arms and said in a weak voice: "Why are you coming back now..."

"Something happened in the library, so I came a little late." Xiao Lan said softly. Xiao Qing wanted to ask something else, but the child's body couldn't stand the sleepiness, and finally fell asleep while mumbling to himself.

Xiao Qing slept until three o'clock in the morning. If Xiu Niang hadn't called her out of fear that she would be starved, she would have slept until noon.

"What are you going to eat today?"

Xiao Qing rubbed his eyes and walked to the kitchen, and then saw Xiao Lan sitting on a chair and eating slowly.

"Aren't you going to class?!"

Xiao Lan turned around and smiled at her when he heard this: "Thankfully I told you yesterday! I won't go to class these days."

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Qing sat down next to Xiao Lan and asked while reaching for the steamed buns.

"Yesterday, someone complained to the officials that the library was secretly hiding remnants of the previous dynasty with the intention of conspiring to rebel. Several gentlemen were arrested and brought in. I was interrogated for a long time before being released."

"Wow……"

Listening to this story that was like a TV series, Xiao Qing was shocked: "Is this true? It won't have any impact on you!"

Xiao Lan thought Xiao Qing was worried about her, so she couldn't help but rub her head. Before she could comfort him a few words, she heard Xiao Qing continue to say: "You don't want this kind of thing. I'm still waiting for you to take me to the top of the imperial examination." I'm going to the city to live in a good life and become an official lady!"

Rubbing his head changed to banging his head, Xiao Lan snorted out of his nose, left the table and ignored Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing touched his sore forehead and curled his lips at Xiao Lan's back - Why did you see Xiao Lan walking with a limp?

Could it be that he was also tortured?

The more Xiao Qing thought about it, the more he felt that it was good. Xiao Lan had the best face in his life and would not speak out even if he was tortured. The situation in the academy was special now. He definitely couldn't go to the town to seek treatment at a medical center. It was unclear whether he could even leave the village.

Xiao Qing took a few bites of the steamed buns and shouted to Xiu Niang who came in with a plate: "Mom, I'm going to the village!"

"Hey! Don't run so fast, drink the porridge first."

Xiao Qing, who was dragged away, drank the porridge in the bowl in several big gulps, wiped her mouth briefly with her sleeves, and then ran away like the wind. Xiu Niang looked at her back and shook her head helplessly.

After putting away the dishes and preparing to wash them, Xiao Yi appeared behind Xiu Niang and gently held her shoulders: "Be careful not to touch the water, just let me wash it."

Xiu Niang looked at Xiao Yi tenderly, but there was a sadness in her expression: "It's okay."

Xiao Yi put his arm around her waist and buried his head in her shoulder. Although he said nothing, a dampness spread on the clothes on Xiu Niang's shoulders. She turned around and hugged Xiao Yi, her voice choked with sobs.

"It would be good to be able to act the same as a living person in daily actions. That would be good."

I don't know how much time passed, but the couple finally separated. Xiu Niang wiped the tears on her face: "There is not much rice left at home. We don't have to eat or drink, but Bao'er can't. When the time comes..."

Xiao Yi sighed. Although there was rice growing in the fields, it would no longer continue to grow and would always remain as it was before the fire. It was no different from weeds in the countryside.

Just when the couple was worrying about food, Xiao Lan came out of the door carrying rice and meat. Xiu Niang was confused and was about to ask a question, but a dark light flashed in Xiao Lan's eyes. The doubt on her face was gone, and she took it. When the rice and meat are put into the vat, there is no mention of food at all.

The same is true for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Lan bid farewell to her parents and turned to leave. Xiu Niang saw his staggering figure and looked worried. Just as she was about to ask a question, she saw Xiao Lan's figure disappearing from the door. If it weren't for the rice grain he had just delivered in the jar, Xiu Niang almost thought that It's my own fantasy.

"I'm afraid Lan'er is having a hard time these days. I'll go to his house and have a chat with him."

Xiao Yi also followed him out of the door. Xiu Niang looked at Xiao Lan's room and shed tears again.

Her Lan'er was the smartest, and their marriage should be a stable and smooth life with a long and prosperous life, but why was God so blind and just took away the lives of her husband and wife, why bother with Lan'er.

Although Xiao Qing had learned to identify medicinal materials from Granny Zhang, and although he was not so proficient as to tell which was which at a glance, he would not do the stupid thing of picking weeds as medicinal materials.

She actually wanted to find Granny Zhang at first, but when she thought of Granny Zhang's strange behavior that day, she gave up the idea and ran to the mountain behind the village to collect medicine.

Unfortunately, Xiao Qing, who was halfway through searching for the medicine, ran into Granny Zhang who was carrying a basket of medicine. The other party was also collecting medicine and called her out immediately.

"Xiaobao, why are you on the mountain? Aren't you afraid of stepping on rocks and falling?"

Granny Zhang was smiling. Although she still looked as kind and kind as usual, Xiao Qing had an inexplicable fear, but at this time, no matter how scared she was, she had to face it. Xiao Qing comforted herself in her heart, mustered up her courage, and just When he was about to say something, his stomach growled again. Xiao Qing bent over slightly and covered his stomach, with a painful look on his face: "Mother-in-law, I, I'm in a hurry."

Seemingly surprised by Xiao Qing's words, Granny Zhang looked at her suspiciously. Seeing that Xiao Qing's expression and behavior didn't seem to be hypocritical, she didn't want to really let this little girl deal with it here, so she raised a smile: "That little girl Bao, go quickly."

Granny Zhang wanted to stretch out her skinny hand to rub Xiao Qing's head, but Xiao Qing just pretended that he couldn't hold it in, although it was true that he couldn't hold it in anymore, and ran down the mountain in a hurry.

Looking at her back, Granny Zhang shook her head in disgust.

"I've taken care of it."

The pale-faced woman walked out from behind the tree. Granny Zhang's originally kind expression turned gloomy, and her face was covered with a layer of black mist. She opened her mouth, but the voice she made was no longer that of an old man.

"let me see."

Mo Yuan lowered her head and got out of the way. Behind her were three neat "people" sitting neatly.

One of them was still smiling and reported to the person on the other end of the message that he was safe.

"Dad, don't worry, this demon cultivator will be captured and taken back by us soon. When the time comes...you and mother must reward me well."
