Chapter 278 Concealment
Qingyunmen.
Tian Ruochun looked at Xie Wanning, her heart clenched, and she stretched out her long arm to hug Xie Wanning tightly.
"Sister Wan Ning, you must not die, you must."
Xie Wanning felt the trembling on her shoulders, the irregular breathing echoing in her ears, and warm tears dripping onto the ground with a "plop" sound.
"Xiao Tian, don't be sad. I'm fine, I'll definitely be fine." Xie Wanning gently patted Tian Ruochun's back and comforted her softly.
Tian Ruochun wiped away her tears, straightened up, and looked at Xie Wanning with an inexplicable determination in her eyes: "Sister Wanning, you need to fight against the Heavenly Dao, and you will inevitably need to ascend to power. I can help you."
With that, Tian Ruochun formed hand seals and whispered, "Spirit Gathering Array, activate!"
Just as Tian Ruochun was speaking, the entire Qingyun Peak trembled slightly, and the spiritual energy within the Qingyun Sect converged tightly around Qingyun Peak.
The spiritual energy seemed to be summoned by some force, rapidly gathering towards Xie Wan Ning. However, the spiritual herbs throughout the Qingyun Sect began to wither, the spiritual springs dried up, and even the spirit stone mines were gradually disappearing.
"stop!"
Xie Wanning suddenly grabbed Tian Ruochun's hand, stopping her.
"Xiao Tian, when did you set up such a large-scale formation? If the Spirit Gathering Array is activated, then Qingyun Sect will soon become a wasteland devoid of spiritual energy." Xie Wanning frowned, a sense of unease rising in her heart.
Xiao Tian laughed out loud, her eyes sparkling, her tone tinged with pride: "Sister Wan Ning, ever since you entered the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, I have been setting up a Spirit Gathering Array in the Qingyun Sect. This array can absorb the spiritual power of the entire Qingyun Sect to the maximum extent. If you feel it is not enough, there are other places that can provide you with spiritual power."
Xie Wanning's lips trembled a few times before she said haltingly, "Xiao Tian, do you know... what you're doing?"
The Spirit Gathering Array is an ordinary array, but Tian Ruochun's Spirit Gathering Array gathers all the spiritual energy within the array without discrimination. Therefore, not only will the spiritual energy of spiritual herbs be attracted, but the spiritual energy of the entire area will also be attracted, including that of spiritual beasts and spiritual artifacts.
Such large-scale cultivation methods are prone to getting out of control. At that time, the spiritual cultivators within the formation will also be absorbed as a source of spiritual energy.
By gathering spiritual power in such an extreme way, Tian Ruochun will suffer from qi deviation.
However, this spirit-gathering array can absorb spiritual energy in a short time, making it an excellent method for cultivators. This is also why Tian Ruochun, whose aptitude is not top-notch, was able to reach the Nascent Soul stage in just a few years.
"I know, I will take full responsibility and won't implicate you," Tian Ruochun said with a light laugh.
Xie Wanning looked at Tian Ruochun, rubbing her forehead in distress, and said, "Xiao Tian, I really can hardly recognize you anymore. I can sense that you've been hiding something from me."
"No matter what it is, I don't want to do it at the cost of hurting myself."
Xie Wanning jumped to the tree, and Luo Zejian caught her.
"Thank you, Junior Sister!" Zhong Yingxiu ran over breathlessly, saying, "Senior Brother Qin... he..."
"What you're trying to say is that Qin Muyang's true form isn't here, and the puppet has been with me all along, right?" Xie Wanning continued Zhong Yingxiu's words, her tone tinged with helplessness.
Zhong Yingxiu straightened up and looked at Xie Wanning in disbelief.
Luo Zejian flew up, and Xie Wanning left Qingyun Sect along with it.
Watching Xie Wanning disappear from sight, Tian Ruochun reached out her hand, wanting to grab her, but it fell limply to her side.
If she could, why would she hide the truth?
But she couldn't say it.
"Junior Sister Tian, would you be interested in joining the Shadow Pavilion?"
"No."
The other person paused, then lowered their voice: "Join the Shadow Pavilion, and I can tell you Xie Wanning's whereabouts, as well as some things that may interest you."
"Sister Wan Ning is still alive!"
"Of course, in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons."
"How could this be..." Tian Ruochun collapsed to the ground, her hands trembling slightly.
Suddenly, the dark figure appeared in front of her and reached out to touch her forehead.
Tian Ruochun saw it; Xie Wanning was different.
People of different ages wear different clothes, and even their appearances are slightly different.
However, what they had in common was that they were all struck down by a golden light and their lives hung by a thread.
"I'm joining the Shadow Legion."
"Okay, you mustn't tell anyone what you just saw."
“…It’s a deal.”
Tian Ruochun clenched her fists; she would not let Xie Wanning die in front of her again.
Even if the price to be paid is immeasurable.
"Senior Sister Zhong, what do you think?"
Zhong Yingxiu raised her eyes, nodded and said, "Heaven is merciless; ascension to fight the enemy is the only way."
"it is good."
The Sea of Chaos.
The Luo Ze Sword flew above the Chaos Sea, while Xie Wan Ning sat listlessly on the sword, saying nothing.
From what point did Xie Wanning begin to feel that everything was different?
The people she trusts cannot give her the same level of trust.
The older sister is like this, Qin Muyang is like this, and Xiao Tian is also like this.
Not only them, but many others as well.
Qingqiu Yu concealed his identity and stayed by her side under the alias Qiu Ling.
After emerging from the Sea of Chaos, her elder sister became the Demon Lord, standing in opposition to her. She also has another identity: the Ghost King of the Underworld.
Qin Muyang never came out of the Chaos Sea, and Xie Wanning knew this perfectly well. She herself was proficient in the art of weapon crafting, so how could she not know that Qin Muyang, who was with her, was a puppet?
As for Xiaotian, she was no longer as innocent and carefree as Xie Wanning remembered. Even with a sunny smile, she could not hide the gloom in her eyes.
Xie Wanning knew that everyone had their own difficulties. She didn't ask because she respected, cherished, and understood.
However, if they still intend to conceal their predicament, Xie Wanning will not choose to turn a blind eye.
However, what pains her even more than these things is that the people she loves seem to have all drifted away from her, isolating her from them.
"What a bunch of fools." Xie Wanning's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was a little choked up: "Me too."
She stood up, looking at the calm and undisturbed Chaos Sea. She recalled that when they last met, the Chaos Sea was in turmoil, but now it was unusually peaceful.
The movements of the Chaos Sea are a matter of great concern to the entire cultivation world.
Qin Muyang, you're so foolish. When you shoulder everything alone, do you ever think about whether anyone will feel sorry for you?
Xie Wanning soared into the air, like a bird spreading its wings. She looked at the sun high in the sky, but did not close her eyes.
"Catch me."
Xie Wanning fell straight down, the wind howling as it blew her white robe like falling snowflakes.
Below, the Chaos Sea is like a bottomless well, extremely dangerous.
Snowflakes will melt under the scorching sun, and spiritual practice will be swallowed up by the chaotic sea without a trace.
The once calm sea of chaos began to surge, and the power of chaos subtly stirred.
The sea surface, which was originally as smooth as silk, now seemed to have been pressed down hard by an invisible giant hand. The seawater spread rapidly in all directions, forming a huge depression. The seawater churned in the depression, and bubbles rose up continuously, emitting a low rumble, as if telling of the unease of the underwater world.
Xie Wanning opened her eyes and chuckled softly, "I saw it."
However, she was getting closer and closer to the sea of chaos, so close that she would fall in the blink of an eye.
Just as Xie Wanning was about to fall into the Chaos Sea, she grabbed with her right hand, and the Luo Ze Sword stopped steadily in her hand, keeping her on the surface of the sea.
"Luo Ze, you caught me." Xie Wanning praised, then turned her gaze to the Sea of Chaos: "I found you, Qin Muyang."
The phoenix fire in his hand, like a giant dragon leaping out of the clouds, suddenly struck towards the sea of chaos, clearing a path through the middle of the sea of chaos.
"Soul-Searching Talisman, go!"
Dozens of talismans flew out, heading towards the depths of the Chaos Sea.
The talisman gradually enveloped a mass of chaotic energy, but it was unable to pull it up.
The chaotic sea surged and churned, as if in rebellion, or perhaps in mockery.
Xie Wanning frowned, and the phoenix fire suddenly intensified, scorching the chaotic sea.
But she heard Qin Muyang's voice in her ear: "Wan Ning, I can't go back, don't worry about me."
Xie Wanning shook her head and said solemnly, "Qin Muyang, I will definitely take you back today. I mean what I say."
"Phoenix, go!"
A phoenix flew toward the chaotic energy, its body surrounded by crimson flames.
The Chaos Sea attempted to attack Xie Wanning, but was forced back by the Crimson Sky Sword.
Little by little, Xie Wanning pulled back that chaotic power.
However, a tremendous force draws in the chaotic energy, constantly hindering the Phoenix's movements.
"court death!"
Xie Wanning's eyes turned crimson, and the phoenix fire rose rapidly, instantly pulling up the chaotic energy.
Just as the Chaos Sea was about to rebel, a ghostly green flame suddenly ignited on the sea, suppressing the turmoil of the Chaos Sea.
Xie Wanning carefully caught the chaotic energy, as if she were holding a soft feather.
As the chaotic energy dissipated, Qin Muyang's figure appeared.
He closed his eyes and turned his face away: "I'm sorry, Wan Ning, I can't..."
Xie Wanning kissed his forehead and smiled, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
Upon reaching the shore, a familiar figure appeared.
"elder sister."
However, a small figure peeked out from behind Xie Wanxun.
